Battling food insecurity on our campus

SGA’s initiative to create a food pantry on campus will help all students Food insecurity — the lack of reliable access to consistent and sufficient amounts of nutritious food — is much more common on college campuses than one might think.

In a survey of 3,765 college students across the country, 48 percent reported food insecurity in the last 30 days, according to studentsagainthunger.org. Of those, 22 percent reported very low food levels that qualified them as hungry.

College students have to pay for a lot. Tuition, textbooks, school supplies, housing, transportation — sometimes

EDITORIAL being able to afford nutritious food is a real challenge for students. Higher tuition, the implementation of a $225 semester fee and other rising costs puts this generation in a unique position of having money to attend school, but having fewer dollars to live on while they’re here. Their food insecurity could

interfere with their education.

Fifty five percent of students surveyed reported that food insecurity issues caused them to not buy a required textbook, 53 percent reported missing a class and 25 percent reported dropping a class.

Food insecurity is a real problem facing college students that cannot be ignored. Here at Central Michigan University, our Student Government Association is taking a huge step towards battling food insecurity by opening a food pantry.

A food pantry for students will be

ready to distribute food sometime in November. It will be run by Dexter graduate student Kourtney Koch and other students. The pantry will distribute food twice a month and all currently enrolled students are eligible to receive food. It will be located in a previously unused space in North Campus near the Robinson Testing Center, which is on the lower level of the building beneath the Robinson Residential Restaurant.

The only requirement to access the food pantry is to be a CMU student. That means hopefully, no

CMU student will have to worry about food insecurity.

SGA passed a resolution supporting the pantry during a meeting on Feb. 5.

We commend both SGA and Facilities Management for collaborating to create this essential asset to our campus. Students are at CMU to earn an education and better themselves. They shouldn’t have to worry about not being able to afford food.

Thank you for helping to fight food insecurity on our campus and ensure CMU students do not go hungry.

Graduate transfer football players accept scholarships, bend NCAA rules to attend university, but without intention to graduate

n one of Central Michigan football’s all-time greatest comebacks, quarterback Shane Morris threw a game-winning, 77-yard touchdown pass with two minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. On a rainy, cold Wednesday night, the Chippewas beat arch-rival Western Michigan, 35-28 in Kalamazoo as ESPN broadcast the game nationwide.

Head coach John Bonamego was so pleased with the signature win, his wife posted a photo of him snuggling with the Victory Cannon trophy as he laid in bed after the game.

Down by 14 points at the half, Morris rallied the offense. Morris rushed for a touchdown, threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Eric Cooper that tied the game and then fired the game-winner to wide receiver Corey Willis. Throwing his arms into the air, running down the field to celebrate with his teammates, Morris became an instant hero at CMU. It would be his greatest achievement as a Chippewa. It also stands in stark contrast to his career as a Michigan Wolverine.

On national television, then U-M head coach Brady Hoke watched Morris stumble while walking back to the huddle after suffering a staggering hit while throwing in a game against Minnesota in 2014.

Many U-M fans and officials in the stadium suspected that Morris suffered a concussion. He had to be held up by one of the offensive lineman.

After regaining his balance, Morris waved off Hoke — Morris thought he was good enough to continue.

He was not.

One play later, Morris nearly threw an interception. He was visibly distressed and taken

out of the game. Then, Hoke reinserted Morris after three plays.

In the days following, Hoke’s player management was heavily scrutinized. Two days later, U-M’s athletic director apologized for the handling of Morris. The U-M quarterback did have a concussion.

Hoke was fired, and replaced by Jim Harbaugh.

Morris’ playing career in Ann Arbor was over.

CMU offered an Morris opportunity to advance his career in a football sense — academics were secondary.

The Chippewas were stacked with upperclassmen on offense and defense, but there was a huge question mark surrounding quarterback. Who was going to replace Cooper Rush? The 6-foot3, 230 pound Rush, a standout from Lansing Catholic, had just graduated as the all-time greatest quarterback in CMU history. Rush threw for almost 13,000 yards and recorded 95 touchdowns as play caller. He left no immediate successor.

CMU and Morris began discussing the Chippewas’ quarterback problem. By Jan. 21, all were convinced that Morris was the answer. A flashy announcement from Morris’ Twitter account heralded “a new beginning” for him at CMU. A four-star recruit from De La Salle Collegiate, he was the third-ranked player in Michigan in the Class of 2013. After graduating from U-M in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in sports management, Morris, at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, could provide what Bonamego and his staff were looking for – a strong-armed QB who could make every throw in CMU’s new spread offense. He slipped right into what he called the “perfect fit” for offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky’s explosive offense, and the wide receiving core was poised for a highly-

productive season.

“For whatever reason, things just never clicked (for Morris) at Michigan,” Bonamego said. “He could have taken his degree and gone to work, but he wanted to give it one last shot.”

The underlying story, however, is something that most football fans are rarely told.

To lure Morris to play in Mount Pleasant, he was offered a scholarship to begin a master’s program at CMU that he had no immediate intention of finishing.

His only goal was to play in the NFL. In 2017, Morris became one of 168 players who received similar scholarships to transfer to smaller universities, enroll in nine credits worth of classes and help energize otherwise struggling programs. He was one of the 72 percent of graduate transfer football players who enrolled in programs they abandoned after two years, according to an October 2015 NCAA Research study.

In the Mid-American Conference, most graduate transfers have failed to perform at a Power Five school. They decide to accelerate their degree progress to transfer to less high-profile teams in college football. Just this season, the MAC picked up former Michigan wide receiver Drake Harris, former Michigan quarterback Alex Malzone and former Iowa quarterback Tyler Wiegers – all examples of hyped recruits who didn’t live up to their potential.

paid for his semester of study.

Morris made his debut as starting quarterback on Aug. 31, 2017 in a triple-overtime 30-27 win over Rhode Island in Mount Pleasant. After being responsible for six of eight turnovers in the 37-14 loss to Wyoming at the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Dec. 22, 2017, Morris left CMU for Miami to begin training for the NFL Draft.

Morris was not drafted.

RULING BACKGROUND Morris was just one of many graduate transfers around the country who accept scholarships as a last-ditch effort to make the pros, despite having no immediate intention of earning a graduate degree.

Thomas Rawls

It’s a trend that many coaches at smaller universities are taking advantage of to help bolster struggling programs, but not all NCAA administrators approve of the tactic.

“It is clear that students are transferring solely for athletic reasons,” Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said. “The whole idea behind this graduate transfer exception was to transfer for a specific academic reason.”

In April 2006, the NCAA ruled that college athletes who have already graduated, but did not use all four years of eligibility, could transfer to another university and play without sitting out a game.

Since the ruling, postgraduates looking for a chance to impress NFL or NBA scouts are choosing graduate school as an avenue to instead pursue a lifelong dream in professional sports.

Schools pay. Athletes play. Earning a graduate degree seems to be the least important part.

The average football recruit at CMU takes a redshirt in his first year. That means that they are on scholarship, but likely won’t play in any games that season. A player practices and develops that season before starting their five-year eligibility clock.

Because of the timing, athletes who redshirt typically have their degrees completed within four years. Athletes also take summer classes. When they begin their senior season, if they have earned their undergraduate degree, they are eligible to transfer to another school and play one more season without sitting out.

The graduate transfer exception started in 2006 when the Division I Management Council and Division I Board of Directors approved new legislation allowing all student-athletes to transfer and play immediately after graduation. The student had to enroll in a graduate degree program.

In October 2007, another change was made to the rule from the Division I Management Council subcommittee. This standard said graduates could transfer and play immediately if their previous school didn’t object and they transferred into a specific graduate program that was not available at the previous school – an academic reason to transfer.

This rule, however, was manipulated by players and schools over time.

Graduate transfers began to claim slight differences in graduate programs to secure the opportunity to play football at another school.

“You saw kids starting to enroll in programs they really weren’t interested in,” Steinbrecher said. “The rule got changed so that it didn’t have to be for a program that wasn’t at your school. It just has evolved to where we are today.”

In April 2011, Division I adopted a proposal from the Mountain West Conference that allows graduate students in all sports to transfer and play immediately if it was their first transfer and their previous school did not renew their athletics scholarship.

After taking a recruit in and developing them, CMU’s recruits stack up against anyone in the country, Bonamego said. He used to be against recruiting graduate transfers because he felt it sent the wrong message to younger players. Still, Bonamego could not deny that bringing players from Power Five programs to CMU could have an impact in the locker room and on the field.

“When I was watching this start to happen across the landscape of college football … I was more against it than I was for it,” Bonamego said. “When you see your competitors having success (with graduate transfers), you have to reconsider.”

CENTRAL MICHIGAN LIFE | CM-LIFE.COM | OCT. 22, 2018 Before he became “The Train” while playing for the Seattle Seahawks, Thomas Rawls suited up for head coach Dan Enos during the 2014 CMU season.

The Flint graduate transfer’s time at CMU might be best remembered for pleading guilty to attempted larceny in a building at Soaring Eagle Casino. The opportunity to add the former U-M power back Rawls to a middling offense was too good to pass up. “(Coaches) can pick somebody who has a proven record, who (they) don’t have to develop and who can step in to a particular slot that they have missing,” said Jeri Beggs, faculty athletics representative and professor of marketing at Illinois State, who served on the NCAA Committee on Academics.

Rawls delivered on the field, but not in the classroom.

He played nine games and totaled 1,103 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns for the Chippewas. But Rawls could not participate in the Bahamas Bowl game that season because of an “academic issue,” as CMU athletics described it.

The Chippewas lost to Western Kentucky 49-48 on Christmas Eve on national television.

Acquiring transfer student-athletes has now become a standard operating procedure at Central Michigan and other universities around the country. From 2011-2016, the number of graduate transfers increased by 588 percent.

The 2017 CMU football team had two graduate transfers – Morris and defensive back Darwyn Kelly. This season, the Chippewas have four on the roster — Sean Adesanya, Marcus Griffin, Xavier Crawford and Ryan Tice, who arrived at CMU two days before the first game of the season.

ELIGIBILITY LOOPHOLES Despite being called graduate transfers, the students do not transfer any credits. They have earned undergraduate degrees and are enrolling in graduate school.

For the average undergraduate athlete in NCAA Division I, to be eligible to play during the fall semester a student must earn their eligibility in the most recent semester that they have taken classes.

For example, if an athlete wanted to be eligible to play football, they would have to meet the NCAA requirements in the summer semester from the same university that they would be playing for.

Graduate transfers do not take summer classes.

They enroll for the fall semester. Since they did not previously attend their new university, fall eligibility comes from earning an undergraduate degree at a different university.

In theory, graduate transfers can play every regular season game of the fall semester without even attending classes. Most schools employ weekly and monthly academic performance evaluations, but according to the NCAA, the player is eligible to compete for entire fall season. Without individual punishment from the head coach or university itself, a graduate transfer football player could suit up for every game without attending a class. They only have to be enrolled in nine credits.

If attracting NFL attention is a player’s reason for transferring, what would keep them from skipping class altogether?

“My sense would be that our schools would address that if it was an issue,” Steinbrecher said.

Postseason play is where it gets tricky. To be eligible for postseason play, the graduate transfer must have complied with NCAA standards during the fall semester. Final grades can come in before the football team’s last game of the season, so the athletics

department has to make sure that everyone passed enough classes in the fall semester to be eligible.

As CMU football fans remember, Rawls never had a problem suiting up during the regular season, except for the one-game suspension he served related to his criminal case. During postseason play, his “academic issue” was discovered. Rawls was enrolled in nine credits, but one of his classes was a pass/fail class, so it did not count towards his required credit hours.

“It gives the appearance of kids being in school and not really being students at the same time they are athletes, and that becomes an issue,” Steinbrecher said.

Academic issues – not attending classes and failing classes – could be the reason that many graduate transfers around the country disappear during postseason play. Most of the time you don’t see a graduate transfer in a bowl game, the absence is credited to not wanting to get hurt before the NFL Draft.

“If a student is on one of our team rosters, they need to be a student,” Steinbrecher said. “They need to be attending classes.”

NCAA RESEARCH In 2007, only 384 of 19,586 Division I football

players were postgraduate students. Since then, the number has more than doubled. In 2014, there were 803 postgraduates.

The NCAA’s intention was that a graduate transfer would be an academic decision, however, most football players transfer to compete, not to earn a graduate degree.

“Clearly, the rule is being used in a way that wasn’t envisioned,” Steinbrecher said. “This wasn’t the intent when that rule was put in.”

Morris never anticipated a stop at CMU on his journey to the NFL. When his dream to become an NFL quarterback seemed within reach, he left Mount Pleasant to pursue it. After training in Miami for the 2018 NFL Draft, Morris was not selected and did not receive any long-term opportunities in professional football.

Morris, however, wasn’t interested in staying in the graduate program either. Since he already had an undergraduate degree from U-M, he didn’t want to take on student loan debt to finish his graduate program at CMU. “If you have got a guy who has the opportunity to play in the NFL, he’s going to take that opportunity,” Morris said. “A lot of the guys that are doing this just graduated from college debt-free. … They

have their degree — they are good. If they want to finish their master’s program they have to pay these master’s program fees, which are insane.”

Graduate students aren’t guaranteed academic aid in the second year of graduate school, following their last year of eligibility. Universities seem to be interested in paying for the athletes’ classes only while they are competing.

“My master’s program was 36 credits. I’m not finishing 36 credits in a year. So, if they want to crack down on (graduation rates), pay for the whole master’s program,” Morris said.

The NCAA found that postgraduates who are offered athletic aid after their eligibility is up are more likely to complete their degree program than those who do not receive post-eligibility aid.

Rachel Blunt, CMU associate athletic director who oversees student-athlete services and compliance, was asked whether specific students would receive any academic aid from the athletics department if their eligibility was expired but they wanted to continue their education. She said she had never dealt with a situation like this – every graduate transfer athlete who has come to CMU did not want to continue their education.

When these graduate transfer students leave after football season, the money from their scholarship is used as a “midyear replacement.” Using this replacement exception, the graduate transfer’s scholarship is awarded to a walk-on or athlete who enrolled in the spring semester, without going over the 85 total counting scholarships in college football.

The NCAA reported that 51 percent of graduate transfer student-athletes receive degrees within two years. For football, that number is smaller.

Only 28 percent of graduate transfers receive a graduate degree within two years. Those students were, on average, enrolled in 9.6 credits each semester and only earned 7.1 of those credits.

Those student athletes are, Steinbrecher said, taking advantage of the NCAA legislation. He acknowledges the graduate transfer exception is being misused. He should know —Steinbrecher served on the NCAA’s Transfer Working Group, a committee which focused on creating the latest, proposed transfer legislation.

Made public by the NCAA on Oct. 5, the Division 1 Council is introducing new transfer legislation that will have a massive effect on graduate transfers in football and basketball. The new legislation proposes that now, if a university takes on a graduate transfer, that athlete will count as one of the 85 scholarships for the first season and the following season, no matter if the student only has one year of eligibility remaining.

Fans will no longer see three or four graduate transfers on the same team, because that would mean in the next season, the program has three or four less scholarships to offer new students. The proposed legislation will enter the Division I legislative cycle for voting in 2019. According to the NCAA press release, most new rules are adopted in April.

If the Council approves this legislation in 2019, head football coaches around the country will now have to consider if a graduate transfer prospect is worth two years of scholarship money for one year of eligibility.

“I think it will slow it down,” Beggs said, who also served on the Transfer Working Group. “I do not think it will stifle it completely.

“Would a coach be willing to lose the (scholarship) count for two years? I think for the right player they are still going to do that.”

Owner of Papa’s Pumpkin Patch discusses operatio SHOP TALK

news@cm-life.com

It’s fall, which means people are looking for hayrides, apple cider, and of course, pumpkins.

Papa’s Pumpkin Patch in Mount Pleasant offers all of these seasonal favorites.

Papa’s Pumpkin Patch is divided into two entities: the shop and the farm. The shop is owned

by William Miller Jr., and the farm is owned by his parents. The shop opened in 2000, with Miller taking over in 2007.

When first walking onto the property, customers are greeted by a large, red barn with rows of pumpkins laid out. Past the pumpkins, there are large wooden bins holding various types of apples and gourds.

At the shop, people can buy crops grown locally in the farm. Throughout the year they grow and sell asparagus, apples, strawberries, cherries, raspberries, tomatoes, sweet corn and pumpkins.

They also sell Amish-made jams and jellies, and make fresh doughnuts, pies and cookies.

Central Michigan Life spoke with Miller about the store, and what it provides to the community.

What is Papa’s Pumpkin Patch about?

Miller: Papa’s Pumpkin Patch is effectively a children’s entertainment farm. My parents bought the farm in 1973, and my father was a teacher at the college. When he retired in 2000, he wanted to share the farm with the community. So, he thought he would start growing pumpkins in the fall. It was open for about four weeks every fall until it got overwhelming. So, me and my wife took over the business.

We’re just continuing the children’s entertainment.

Our big thing is the hayride. We offer a hayride tour of the farm. The kids and grownups get to stop at the pumpkin patch and pick a pumpkin. Usually, we offer a big pumpkin, little pumpkin, and a gourd.

Everybody walks out from the field with some unique things. We do that primarily seven days a week.

On the weekends, we do it on demand. During

inside and have cider and donuts. If it’s later in the evenings we have a bonfire, gather around and have a real nice social evening.

So, you like building the community aspect of your business?

Yes. Community and neighbors are very important to my parents who founded this, so we’re trying to carry on this tradition.

How busy are you at this time of year?

As a business, we do about 75 percent of our business in September and October. The other season we’re busy is strawberries in the spring.

But this is effectively the only month we need to be here, but we have to be here earlier to be prepared for this month. So that’s why we’re open for about five or six months a year.

What kind of atmosphere do you want to create?

My parents want education. They want kids to know where their food comes from. They want our mission statement to be ‘play and being outside is good for the mind and the body.’ They look at kids on computers and obesity among young people. They want to provide an area where kids can come out and get away from that.

That’s a state of Michigan law.

Do you get all your food products from Michigan?

Most of what we get we try to get from Michigan. Some things we get out of Ohio, but they do say they get a lot of their raw materials from Michigan. That’s because Michigan is second behind California in the variety of things we produce. We lead the nation in blueberries, cherries and asparagus. If your getting jams or jellies from another state, you’re probably getting it from Michigan.

What do you hope for the future of the store?

I hope it can carry on. I have two daughters who aren’t interested in farming anymore. If we can get it to a point where it’s really profitable, maybe we can sell it to someone who can take it over. It might return to an old farmstead.

What do you like most about running the store?

I like being outside. It takes a toll on your body, so I don’t know how much longer we can do this. Hopefully until we break right down.

The best aspect though is the kids. They are the only people you will ever meet that don’t have an agenda. They tell you the way it is and tell you the way it’s going to be, and they believe it.

Other than the crops you grow, what other products do you sell?

We have bakery that we’re working on. We’ll do hundreds and hundreds of dozens (of doughnuts) on the weekends. We do cookies, cakes, some pies and ice cream. We have an ice cream shop that’s really popular. Everyone likes ice cream.

What is made on site?

We manufacture the doughnuts on site. We mix up a lot of the cookie dough on site. Then we do bring in some frozen, because it’s just too much for us to make here.

Where do you get your apple cider?

We get our cider from Anderson and Girls Orchards down by Stanton. The reason we get it from them is because they have a laser pasteurizing

Whitmer, Schuette make final push for governor

By Farhan Coleman Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Republican candidate Bill Schuette and Democratic candidate Gretchen Whitmer are making their final pushes to become Michigan’s next governor on Nov. 6.

Schuette became Michigan’s 53rd Attorney General in 2010 and since then has charged 15 people with crimes in association with the Flint water crisis, helped bring Larry Nassar to justice and helped to create the Michigan Commission for Human Trafficking. Schuette has also served on the Michigan Court of Appeals and as U.S. House Representative from 1985 to 1991.

Whitmer served in the state House of Representatives from 2001 to 2006. She then served in state Senate from 2006 to 2015.

During her time as a state Senator she helped collect the number of votes needed to pass an expansion of Medicaid and rose to become the state democratic leader in 2010.

In 2016, Whitmer was appointed as the Ingham County Prosecutor, where she worked on many sexual assault and domestic violence cases.

Bill Schuette Whitmer is leading in the polls by eight points over Schuette, according to a poll by Mitchell Research and Communications.

Whitmer’s platform focuses on fixing roads, clean drinking water, women’s rights, health care, education and fighting the opioid

NAME OF RECIPIENTS

gubernatorial debate on Oct. 12. A second debate is scheduled for Oct. 24.

During the debate, Schuette said one of his main goals is to “drive Michigan forward.”

“This is a race about whether we go forward or whether we go backward,” Schuette said. “I want to make sure I drive Michigan forward with cutting taxes and lowering insurance rates. That’s what people in Michigan are concerned about.”

Schuette also spoke about his intention to improve Michigan’s public education system and to bring more job opportunities to the state.

On the other side of the debate, Whitmer talked about her willingness to cross party lines, regardless of their political affiliations, to help Michigan thrive.

“I don’t care about credit. I care about results. I will work with anyone who is willing to solve a problem,” Whitmer said. “The people of this state want us to solve problems and we have to work together to get it done.”

Whitmer was adamant about her intention to expand Medicaid and to fix Michigan roads.

Football shredded in 35-10 loss to rival Western

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Four games into MidAmerican Conference play, the Central Michigan football team remains winless.

Head coach John Bonamego’s loss on Saturday stung worse than the previous three. It was a rivalry loss.

Facing Western Michigan junior quarterback Jon Wassink for the first time, the Chippewas (1-7, 0-4 MAC) defense came up short in a 35-10 loss on Oct. 20 at a rainy Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

The win gave the Broncos (6-2, 4-0 MAC), and head coach Tim Lester, the rights to the Michigan MAC Trophy. WMU earned a 27-24 win against Eastern Michigan on Oct. 6.

“The way we lost last year was embarrassing,” Lester said. “I was proud of the way

Bonamego was frustrated – for the seventh time this season.

"I only have so many of these in me," Bonamego said of holding a losing press conference. "It's hard to come in here after a loss, especially a rivalry game, so I'm obviously disappointed. We have to learn to stop beating ourselves."

Wassink took a redshirt in 2015, did not play in 2016, and he was injured for the rivalry duel a year ago at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo. He made his presence felt in Mount Pleasant through game control and three rushing scores.

The game was delayed due to lightning with 8:17 left in the first quarter. Both teams already punted twice, and the ball was in the hands of CMU when play was stopped.

Following a 33-minute delay, the game restarted.

Less than four minutes after play resumed, Wassink found the end zone on a 1-yard quarterback keeper to give WMU a 7-0 edge.

Two drives following WMU’s first touchdown, the Broncos struck again just 52 seconds into the second quarter. Eric Assoua, a starting defensive end, poked the ball free from CMU quarterback Tommy Lazzaro.

Linebacker Drake Spears jumped on the ball. One player later, the Broncos found the

end zone on a 29-yard rushing score by LeVante Bellamy for a 14-0 edge.

Bellamy’s counterpart in the backfield, Jamauri Bogan, carried the ball 1-yard into the end zone for a 21-0 lead with just over one minute until halftime. WMU safety Justin Tranquill made his first career interception to end the first half.

“Two years ago when we played here, I had an interception in the exact same spot, but the refs called me out of bounds,” Tranquill said. “It’s just a blessing.”

Bellamy and Bogan combined for 241 yards rushing and two touchdowns on 38 total carries. Alone, Bellamy went for 145 on the ground.

The Chippewas and Broncos were a combined 5-of-18 on third down through the first two quarters, and Bonamego’s group punted on six of nine drives.

Despite a halftime pep talk, the Chippewas couldn’t respond for a comeback.

CMU inched back on a 40-yard field goal by Ryan Tice with 6:04 remaining

“

The answers are within us. It's frustrating, but I'll never lower our standards. Sometimes you're a lot closer than the outside world sees. I really believe our biggest issue is we make it hard on ourselves.

That's on me."

John Bonamego Head Football Coach in the third quarter. Under one minute to play in the third, Romello Ross went for a 4-yard score to cut CMU’s deficit to 21-10.

When the Chippewas began

to switch the momentum in their direction, Lazzaro’s mistake handed all the confidence back to the Broncos. He tossed up a pass that was brought down by WMU linebacker Alex Grace at the 40-yard line.

Grace’s interception led to a 7-yard rushing score by Wassink, pushing WMU’s lead to 28-10 with 11:27 remaining in the game. The quarterback scored the final touchdown of the game, an 8-yard run into the end zone with 3:15 left – a 35-10 margin for the Broncos.

Accounting for three rushing touchdowns on eight carries, Wassink was not forced to throw the ball much against CMU’s defense and fierce wind.

He finished 5-for-9 passing for 51 yards with no turnovers.

"We have to put it all out there on the field for the players, the fans, the seniors, the coaches," said CMU linebacker Malik Fountain after the loss.

"It's about game-to-game and evolving the program."

Lazzaro was dropped for a 2-yard loss on fourth down nearly five minutes into the final quarter.

He was slow to get up and replaced by backup Tony Poljan.

The starting quarterback for the Chippewas finished the game 9 of 24 passing for 104 yards and two interceptions.

He added 38 rushing yards in the loss. Redshirt freshman receiver Julian Hicks made three catches for 57 yards.

For the 49th time in the historic rivalry, WMU escaped Mount Pleasant victorious to claim the Victory Cannon trophy.

“It means everything for the team and the city of Kalamazoo,” WMU center John Keenoy said. “It’s nice to bring the trophies back home.”

The Chippewas travel to InfoCision Stadium at noon on Oct. 27 for a game against Akron. The Zips are 3-3 overall and 1-2 in the MAC. "The answers are within us," Bonamego said. "It's frustrating, but I'll never lower our standards. Sometimes you're a lot closer than the outside world sees. I really believe our biggest issue is we make it hard on ourselves.

That's on me."

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL RECEIVES SWEET 16 FIELD HOCKEY SNAPS SKID, EARNS SECOND RINGS, PREVIEWS TEAM IN SCRIMMAGE WIN OF SEASON AGAINST BALL STATE Central Michigan field hockey snapped its 14-game losing streak on Senior Day against Ball State in a Mid-American Conference matchup at the CMU Field Hockey Complex.

The Chippewas (2-15, 1-4 MAC) defeated the Cardinals (2-13, 2-3 MAC) 1-0 with strong defense and earned their first win since the month of September. Friday’s win also marks the first home conference win for the Chippewas since Oct. 16, 2015 against Missouri State.

Sophomore back Samantha Glapinski opened the scoring on a penalty corner when she deflected a shot from senior back Kayla McClure to give the Chippewas the advantage at the 21 minute mark of the game.

“The last couple of games we have attacked first and we usually get a corner, then we don’t execute the corner,” head coach Catherine Ostoich said.

The first half of the match was a defensive slugfest as the Chippewas fought

off four shots on goal and just as many penalty corners. The Chippewas played the majority of the first half on the defensive end but stood strong throughout the opening frame.

Cardinals head coach Stephanie Bernthal pulled sophomore goalkeeper Grace Chavez with 6:32 to play.

“I thought my heart was going to come out of my body,” Ostoich said.

Senior goalkeeper Lily Amadio made three stops while Ball State had their extra attacker on the field and made four overall.

“Those last six minutes all I was thinking about was doing it for the team,” Amadio said. “I just had everyone else in my mind and playing with all I got.”

The Chippewas next take the field in the MAC Tournament against an opponent to be named later on Oct. 31 in Oxford, Ohio.

-Austin Chastain, Staff Reporter

The historic Central Michigan women’s basketball team celebrated a ring ceremony to commemorate the MidAmerican Conference championship and journey to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 before the Maroon and Gold preseason scrimmage Saturday.

Head coach Sue Guevara led her team to a 30-5 overall record and 17-1 mark in the MAC, pacing the Chippewas to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 in the 201718 season. A banner will be unveiled in McGuirk Arena on Nov. 8 before the season opener against Oakland University.

“It’s really pretty,” Guevara said of the Sweet 16 ring. “All women like bling. But it’s a lot of hard work.”

The rings have been passed out, and the 2017-18 season is officially behind the Chippewas. Guevara said the real battle is now underway.

“This part is over,” Guevara said, pointing to her Sweet 16 ring. “I’m excited for the depth we have.”

The teams were split evenly for the Maroon vs. Gold scrimmage, and fans

received a first look at Team 51.

With 22 seconds left in the 10-minute first quarter, Hudson knocked down a stepback 3-pointer to hand Team Gold a 19-13 edge at the break.

“It’s been a long time,” Hudson said.

“Everyone got to see what we have in store.

We are just going to keep getting better.”

Bussell, the replacement for star forward Tinara Moore, scored her first two points in the second quarter.

After two quarters of play, the game was called. Team Gold picked up a 29-23 victory behind 13 points on three 3-pointers from Hudson and four from Frost.

“Three-pointers are going to happen,” Hudson said. “If I’m open, I’m going to shoot it.”

Watters, opposing Hudson, scored three points on a shot from beyond the arc.

Guevara has spoken highly of Weekes, even comparing her to the type of player Frost was as a freshman.
