AT&T donation supports STEM education programs By Melissa Frick Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

AT&T donated $12,000 to Central Michigan University's Center for Excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education program. The donation will allow the STEM Education Mentor program to engage with more area high school students who are interested in becoming educators. The program provides hands-on experience to teacher education students at CMU through work with local K-12 students. "The STEM Education Mentor program will create a mentor pipeline of hands-on learning," said Megan Moreno, director of development at the College of Education and Human Services (CEHS). Through outreach programs, workshops and career-building activities, teacher education students (STEM Ed Scholars) work handson with local K-12 students. The scholars are trained by Center for

Excellence in STEM Education staff to mentor high school students. STEM Ed Scholars receive a $1,000 scholarship for tuition, as well as paid attendance at a national science, math or STEM conference. For most of these scholars, the hands-on experience is the main benefit of the program. Mount Pleasant junior Sarah Lapp said her experience as a STEM Ed Scholar has been rewarding for her major, Secondary Education in Math. "In the education program, we don't always have time to be out in schools," she said. "This program gives me the opportunity to learn things like classroom management and resolving conflicts with students." Housed in the "Maker Space" on the first floor of CEHS, the scholars engage K-12 students in workshops and problem-solving activities. They also go on field trips to the Mount Pleasant Discovery Museum on Remus Road, where they do coding and chemistry-related activities. "Overall it's an amazing program," Lapp said. "(It's) one of my favorite

things I've done at CMU." The $12,000 donation came from AT&T's Aspire program, which aims to equip students to lead the digital economy by investing in innovative education organizations, according

to its website. "The contribution helps get kids into STEM-related areas while helping create new teachers, so it's kind of a win-win for our goal of furthering education," said Kris Young, AT&T

Michigan director of external affairs. In 2015, the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation provided a $5 million grant for the Center for Excellence in STEM Education. That grant has funded teacher professional development, as well as youth camps and workshops, Moreno said. While the Dow Foundation grant was geared specifically for middle school students, the AT&T donation will allow the STEM Education program to work with area high school students, said Julie Cunningham, director of the Center for Excellence in STEM education. The money will cover mileage costs for students, as well as conference attendance for high school students and STEM Ed Scholars.

60-unit apartment complex building to be completed by January By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Heading down West Broomfield Street past The Cabin, passerby may notice an expanse of agitated dirt where there once was a grassy field. This is the beginning of a construction project by Henkel Apartments to erect a new apartment complex, The Bravado, that will house 60 apartment units when completed. One of the eight buildings in the complex will be ready to lease by Jan. 1, 2019, said Mike Henkel, owner of Henkel Apartments. According to the Henkel Apartments website, the apartments will be pre-leased and are now being leased for January 2019 and Summer 2019. The building project will take four years, and will spread across five phases, Henkel said. Olivieri Builders will oversee the construction of the project, said Jacob Kain, Mount Pleasant’s city

• Two bedrooms • Two bathrooms • An open kitchen • An open living space • Granite countertops • Stainless steel appliances (washer, dryer, and dishwasher) He said these apartments will be marketed as “high-end” apartments. “We’re trying to make the best two-bedroom apartments in Mount Pleasant, student or non-student,” Henkel said. “We’re going with the HGTV style with them. We’re trying to really doll them up and make them look like million-dollar homes.” Certain aspects of these apartments however, could deter some Central Michigan University students if they were looking for apartments. Ionia junior, Larissa Piggott, said while the apartment concepts look nice and justifies the price range, said she would prefer living with more than one person. Henkel also owns Chip Village, Colony East, Broomfield Village and Deming Drive apartment complexes in Mount Pleasant.

POLICE RESPOND TO THREE UNRELATED THEFTS AT PICKARD STREET MEIJER Mount Pleasant Police Department officers responded to three unrelated cases of retail fraud in the same 24-hour period Sept. 7-8 at the Meijer supermarket located at 1015 E. Pickard St. The first theft occurred at 4:47 p.m. on Sept. 7. According to the police report, Meijer Loss Prevention employees who catch people shoplifting, observed a woman putting a variety of items in her cart, including alcohol, jewelry, groceries and DVDs, totaling up to $295.89. The woman then attempted to exit the store without paying for her items. Loss Prevention confronted her and escorted her back into the store. She sat down on a bench and told the officers that she “wasn’t going nowhere.” She

then got up and ran out of the store, making it to the Meijer Gas Station by the time officers arrived. The woman told officers she stopped running because she was having heart problems. She was transported to McLaren Hospital. Upon release from McLaren, she was arrested for felony retail fraud, and lodged in Isabella County Jail. The woman has had multiple convictions of retail fraud in the past. The second theft occurred at 9:22 p.m. Officers were dispatched to Meijer after Loss Prevention called in about a 17-year-old woman who had been detained after taking four bottles of alcohol totaling up to $53.93, concealing them and attempting to leave the store

without paying. The girl was placed under arrest for third degree retail fraud and taken to the Isabella County Sheriff Department for booking. The third attempted theft took place at 3:12 p.m. on Sept. 8. An officer was dispatched to Meijer after a shoplifting complaint from the Loss Prevention Office. The responding officer made contact with the suspect. The woman had attempted to steal $627.55 worth of merchandise, and told the officer she had not eaten in several days and had no money. The woman was placed in custody for retail fraud and lodged at the Isabella County Sheriff’s Department. -Mitchell Kukulka, Investigative Editor

‘Her positivity rubs off on people’ Communication faculty member brings warmth, enthusiasm to students By Rob Linsley Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

Communication faculty member Alysa Lucas is nothing if not a fireball of enthusiasm. Her enthusiasm shows up in different places — it could make an appearance while Lucas researches an audience’s emotional ties to characters on “The Walking Dead” or while she discusses “Anne of Green Gables” on her podcast dedicated to friendship, “Best Forevers.” It could show up when she brings in one of her favorite podcasters from “The Mental Illness Happy Hour” to Skype with students for a Dark Side of Communication class session. Sometimes, her excitement comes out while she beams about how cool T-shirt cannons are at football games,

or how she’s considered combining her love of sewing and cats to start an Etsy store selling catnip toys. Lucas teaches classes such as communication and society, and foundations of communication theory. When Lucas took her first communication class at Lansing Community College, she knew she’d found a field that engaged her enthusiasm. Communication research and theories helped provide possible explanations for common issues, like why one person was mad at another or why someone was too shy to talk to their crush. "All the things that 18-year-old Alysa was probably interested in,” Lucas joked. Some students don't share this enthusiasm, Lucas said, and feel they don’t need to learn

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH TO BEGIN, LIST OF EVENTS To celebrate Hispanic heritage, the Multicultural Academic Student Service Center (MASS) is hosting a series of events from Sept.15 to Oct. 15. In honor of the many Hispanic cultures on campus, different registered student organizations have helped plan and sponsor different events throughout the month. “We have a vast population from the Latinx community who grew up in many different Hispanic cultures and I think it is important to see their cultures celebrated within their community,” said Wade Tomson, MASS executive secretary. The events are a close collaboration between the Empowered Latino Union, Sigma Delta Pi and the Organization of Women Leaders. Here is schedule of the events

occurring during the month.

important precisely because it is something people do every day and can have positive or negative impacts on both oneself and others. As she frequently tells her students, “I could play basketball every day, (but that) doesn’t make me Lebron James.” Even with a doctoral degree in communication, Lucas conceded she still sometimes struggles in her relationships. “My cats and I are fine, though,” Lucas said with a laugh. Over her years in the communication field, Lucas has focused her research on platonic friendship, starting with a study on jealousy in female friendships for her undergraduate thesis at Michigan State University. Lucas has studied sexual communication, including research for her master’s program on how people communicate their sexual history to their romantic partners and more recent research on how college students talk about sex with friends. Another topic Lucas has studied is a unique kind of friendship: parasocial relationships, which are one-sided relationships fans have with celebrities or fictional characters. Lucas’ love of TV shows and pop culture has shown up in classes as examples that help students learn, said former students Markie Heideman and Autumn Gairaud. Both students said they admired the faculty member’s warmth, enthusiasm and ability to tie pop culture references to course material.

Heideman, a Twining senior, described Lucas’ teaching style as “untraditionally effective.” “She brings such an energy and a light to the classroom no matter what day it is, no matter what’s going on outside the classroom for her,” Heideman said. “Her positivity rubs off on people.” Gairaud painted a similar portrait of Lucas. Gairaud, who graduated in May with bachelor's degrees in political science and women and gender studies, is now pursuing a studies master’s degree in ethnic studies through Colorado State University. She said Lucas encouraged her as she was preparing for graduate school, even though Gairaud only took one class from Lucas during her time at CMU. “She kept constantly telling me, 'You are good enough and it’s going to be okay,'” Gairaud said. “She also reminded me it’s okay to feel stressed, to feel overwhelmed and that’s normal." Lucas acknowledges when she has difficult days and brings up difficult topics like mental health in class, Gairaud said. By doing this, Lucas helps students feel comfortable approaching her for help finding resources they need. Both Heideman and Gairaud would occasionally meet with Lucas for coffee or lunch and consider her a mentor in their lives. They say they are only two of many students Lucas integrates into her life. “Not many professors take the time to know people on that level,” Gairaud said.

SILENCE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM

SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVOR SPEAKING ON CAMPUS SHOULDN’T BE PRIVATE

“

We need more transparency and accountability at all our schools. Hiding numbers, not disclosing things doesn’t help anyone. You can’t fix a problem if you don’t acknowlege it and look at it.

-Brenda Tracy, Sexual assault survivor, activist

nationally-known sexual assault survivor and activist spoke on campus last week about sexual abuse and domestic violence that surrounds college football and university campuses. Survivor Brenda Tracy was raped by four Oregon State football players in 1998 who continued to play football; two of them were suspended for one game. Sixteen years after she was sexually assaulted, she publicly tells her story to try to address rape culture on college campuses. On Sept. 10, Tracy spoke to members of the Chippewa football and men’s basketball teams. Tracy’s speeches are often open to the media, however the Athletics Department told Central Michigan Life the speech was “private.” The department did publish a press release about her visit calling it

EDITORIAL a “powerful message.” Message received. When it comes to discussing sexual assault, Central Michigan University prefers to have that conversation quietly and behind closed doors, if at all. During a time when movements such as #MeToo and #Time’s Up and millions of people of all ages, across the nation are confronting abuse and harassment, what kind of message is CMU sending when it slams the door on that discussion? Tracy chooses to share her story with the world. It’s painful to relive and, make no mistake, the point of her visits is to discuss topics that make people uncomfortable. We know that

more often that not, sexual assault goes unreported. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, only 310 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported. That means 2 out of 3 cases go unreported. As is it now, only 20 percent of women report their sexual assault. Fear that police and society won’t support survivors is cited as one of the biggest reasons so many survivors don’t come forward. Women clearly grapple with coming forward after a sexual assault. After they’ve been disrespected and harmed in the worst, most intimate way, they are terrified of being further disrespected and violated by being silenced by campus or community leaders and law enforcement. What kind of message does CMU send to sexual assault survivors by restricting Tracy’s voice? In fact, the only reason CM Life even knew about the

event is because one of the organizers — not the Athletics Department — called to invite journalists to cover it. This is not the first time the university has chosen “privacy” over transparency when discussing sexual assault and sexual harassment. It’s not even the first time CMU has made speakers on campus private from the media. On April 24, Timothy Boudreau, journalism department chair and instructor, invited representatives from the Westboro Baptist Church and the Satanic Temple of Detroit to debate in his class. The university placed restrictions on covering and attending the event because they were concerned about “student safety.” A higher education institution withholding educational experiences from its students is not a great look for CMU. CMU has the potential to create

real change in the world by keeping its students informed about current issues and controversial speakers. We assume that is the reason for inviting Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, to campus today. She will speak at 7 p.m. in Plachta Auditorium during an open-dialogue event about sexual violence. Members of SAPA (Sexual Aggression Peer Advocates) will be present during the event to provide support to individuals who may need further resources. The more people who hear stories from people like Tracy and Burke, the more opportunities there are to inspire change in how we view and respond to sexual assault and domestic violence. Staying quiet, or having these discussions behind closed doors, is no longer an option.

Where is the seperation of church, state concerning birth control? U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh described birth control as “abortion-inducing drugs” during his recent confirmation testimony. Kavanaugh was responding to a question regarding the Priests for Life v. the Department of Health and Human Services case he dissented on in 2015. The religious organization Kavanaugh sided with did not want to supply employees with insurance coverage for contraceptives. Priests for Life claimed filling out the required form, under the contraceptive mandate of the Affordable Care Act, would make them complicit in providing “abortion-inducing drugs,” which they were religiously objecting to. Although Kavanaugh was discussing the position of a separate organization, his reference appears to deem birth control as unnecessary, even detrimental. Both of which are not true. Birth control is basic health care. Kavanaugh’s comment begs the question of whether he actually understands what birth control is. The possibility of a man who doesn’t

understand the science behind birth control being such a crucial decision maker in our government deeply concerns and personally affects me. According to the National Health Statistics Report Number 62, a total of 88 percent of women have used methods such as birth control pills, an injectable method, a contraceptive patch, or an intrauterine device in their lifetime. Some women simply use birth control as a contraceptive method. Others however, rely on birth control for very realistic health issues, such as endometriosis or extreme dysmenorrhea. I suffer from severe dysmenorrhea, the medical term for painful menstrual cramps. In order to function normally, I rely on the birth control

pill. It’s a basic form of health care that helps me live my life without excessive pain. However, before I had the discussion with my doctor about these very serious health concerns, I thought it was normal to suffer during my period so badly, I couldn’t get out of bed. I also didn’t understand that birth control could resolve these issues for me and help me function normally. Like me, a lot of young women don’t know about all the side benefits of birth control. I was raised Catholic, but I understand that birth control is not a form of abortion. I also believe there should be a distinct separation of church and state, especially when it comes to these types of issue. As a Catholic woman, I acknowledge that there is a distinction in our community between what is right and wrong. However, I do not believe that distinction is ours to make for every citizen. Oftentimes, people confuse their opinion of “it’s not for me” with “nobody should ever do that.” Rules don’t always apply to everybody else,

especially if they’re intended for a specific community. The First Amendment was crafted for a very specific reason: not all people have the same religion or opinions. The public has the right to free speech and “congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Our government is a separate institution from religion. No one is forced to oblige with the beliefs of any particular religion. People have the right to make their own decisions, even if they disrespect the guidelines of a religion they are a part of. Women deserve the right to basic health care. Like it or not, birth control falls under that category. Therefore, no one, not a religion or even the government, should have the right to take that away from women. Our government needs to be educated on what birth control truly is because women deserve more than grown men spouting false accusations, with no scientific backing, about details of their health care.

It’s your duty as an American to be civically engaged As a generation, we tend to go about our lives thinking very little about future generations. Why should we care about future generations, when we are struggling to survive as it is? Similarly, why should we care about the government, when it feels like our government does nothing for us? It’s so easy to look at national, political issues and say, “It’s not my problem.” It’s easy to go about your day, ignoring the hardships that plague our country. We all have personal issues to worry about and it’s easy to focus on those, rather than the bigger, nation-wide problems. However, that attitude is detrimental to the American political system. It’s the very reason we have allowed politics to become a clown show. Just 50 years ago, John F. Kennedy gave his famous inaugural speech, rallying American citizens behind the words: “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” At that time in history, public trust in the federal government “to do the right thing” hovered at about 70 percent.

Ashley Schafer Community Editor

Since then, it has declined, falling to historic lows, according to the Pew Research Center. Historical events like the Vietnam War and the Watergate Hotel break-in have fueled the downward spiral of distrust in government, resulting in the retreat into our individual lives. Today, only 18 percent of Americans say they can trust the government in Washington D.C. to “do what is right just about always, or most of the time.” This is where I, and many other Americans my age, are thinking, “Who can blame us? Our president is a clown, politicians are corrupt and greedy, and no one is fighting for me.” As a result of that distrust, a lot of young Americans are not civically engaged. Civic engagement, according to the New York Times, means “working to make a difference in the civic life

of our communities and developing the combination of knowledge, skills, values and motivation to make that difference.” This means volunteering, serving on a jury, reporting crimes and being correctly informed about social issues are duties as an American. According to an article by the New York Post, “young people are feeling less dutiful” and only 37 percent of Americans think it is “very important” to keep up with news and public issues. This is down from 56 percent in 1984. The implications of this downward spiral are huge. Instead of living our lives as part of a bigger community, it is an every-man-for-himself attitude that leaves our government unaccounted for and has allowed politicians to run amuck. When we don’t trust our government, we don’t trust our neighbors, and vice versa. I understand that burning desire to ignore politics altogether-- I am guilty of it myself. It is so much easier to ignore the news, to not vote and to live with just your immediate family and friends in mind. However, if you are going about your adult life with this mentality, you are only adding to the problem. We can sit around and play the

blame game, but ultimately as all the generations get older, it is our generation’s responsibility to fix the system. It is our civic duty to stay informed with local and national politics, get out and vote, not just in general elections, but all of them. It is our duty to hold politicians accountable for their actions. We have allowed them to be too greedy. If we are paying attention by reading the news and calling politicians out when they do something wrong by voting, they won’t continue to get away with things we find unacceptable. Maybe someday – crazy thought here – we can get back to a place where we trust our neighbors, we trust our government officials and as a result, the polarized gap will shrink and our government officials will work with the good of people in mind. If not, the future of this country as we know it is at stake. Just think back to the very reason this country was founded-- the Revolutionary War was a retaliation against the rule of the British government. Trust in the current American government is at a historic low. Without significant civic engagement from the American people, it will fall to shambles.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE 11 YEAR OLD

Mount Pleasant middle schooler DJ Dill Pickle spent summer touring music festiv By Emilly Davis Opinion Editor opinion@cm-life.com

With an Instagram following of more than 15,000 people, Dylan Hunter is certainly not your average 11 year old. While many of his friends at Sacred Heart Middle School spent the summer playing video games or watching YouTube videos, Hunter performed around the state as DJ Dill Pickle. His first of four festival performances of the season was on June 23 at Portland Summer Fest in Portland, Michigan. After playing at Common Ground Music Festival in Lansing in August, he played Breakaway Music Festival in Grand Rapids, taking over Tee Grizzley’s set. The rapper was arrested that day, so Hunter was asked last-minute to play a 45-minute set for thousands of people. DJ Dill Pickle wrapped up his festival schedule on Sept. 14 at Prime Music Festival in Lansing. Although he is still years away from be-

coming a teenager, Hunter has spent a lot of time with seasoned and talented artists. He’s worked with the likes of Slushii, Andre Drummond, MGK and Blackbear. This summer he performed playing alongside national acts like Halsey and Odesza. He’s performed with Waka Flocka several times, and performed throughout Michigan with DJ Pauly D. Meeting with Hunter for the first time leaves you with the impression of a shy and polite boy who speaks quietly during a one-on-one conversation. He hardly seems like the Instagram star who regularly posts photos of himself sporting brightly colored hats and T-shirts from his own clothing line, emblazoned with his DJ Dill Pickle logo. That all changes, however, when he gets in front of a crowd. When DJ Dill Pickle works the decks, he plays EDM and pop music so upbeat that he can’t resist getting into the music. Yelling and jumping as he performs, he quickly raises the energy of the room. His intensity inspires the crowd.

Despite the fact the young DJ is playing to an audience that is usually being much older than him, audience members lose themselves in the sound and start dancing. As his shows progress, the energy level continues to grow, and DJ Dill Pickle steps out from behind the booth and dances for the cheering audience. Sometimes he’ll break out a few hip-hop moves, get upside down on his head, or even leap off the stage to crowd surf. “I don’t really get nervous,” Hunter said. “I like it.” His father, John Hunter, is the owner of Mount Pleasant’s popular nightspot Wayside Central. Dad does double duty as DJ Dill Pickle’s manager. Because of the family’s business and their shared love of music, the middle schooler grew up immersed in music and DJ culture. Hunter has a strong admiration of upbeat music and eccentric performers and there’s quite a few he would like to share the stage with. “Oh, if I could (perform with anyone), it’s definitely Michael Jackson, Marshmello and

Migos,” Hunter said. According to his father, Dylan has alw been a “wiggle worm” who loved music he was five years old, Hunter began tak hip-hop dance classes with Central Mic University faculty member Ricky “Bird” son. The Hunter family spends a lot of at Wayside, so Dylan was able to watch interact with the DJs and other perform were booked at the club. Sometimes he got up on stage with th during their shows.

found on his Youtube channel. “Dylan and his team have put in tons of hours on this journey,” his father said. “It truly has taken a village to train DJ Dill Pickle how to perform at this level.” Hunter spends a lot of his free time practicing in his family’s living room, where he has all of his equipment set up. Recently, he began producing his own music. On May 16, Hunter experienced a new kind of gig when he performed at a pep rally at Portland St. Patrick Catholic School. Although he was initially nervous to perform in front of an audience closer in age to him for the first time, he said he got a great response. When he first arrived at the school, Hunter was surprised to see kids scrambling to take pictures of him from the windows. Even more surprising was the crowd of uniformed students and their teachers all getting out of their seats to dance during his performance. DJ Dill Pickle’s future is full of performing and making more music. He and his father would like to explore doing more pep rallies at schools, maybe even using his music to spread awareness about topics such as bullying and mental health. What is his favorite part about performing in front of an enthusiastic crowd? “All of it,” said Hunter smiling. Videos of DJ Dill Pickle and his performances can be found on his Facebook page.

Chippewas fall to 0-3, Lazzaro shines as Poljan’s replacement By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Junior Tommy Lazzaro replaced starting quarterback Tony Poljan with 6:22 left in the third quarter. From that point on, everything changed. The Chippewas (0-3) still fell short to Northern Illinois, 24-16, at Huskie Stadium on Sept. 15 but found a consistent quarterback. Down 21-3, Lazzaro went 2-for-2 for 28 yards and carried the ball four times for 31 yards in his first career drive. His final play of the series was a six-yard rushing score, cutting Northern Illinois’ edge to 11 points. “It just felt like we needed a spark,” said CMU head coach John Bonamego. “Tommy does a lot of things really well and you got to see a lot of it today. Lazzaro, playing his first career game since transferring to CMU from Dodge City Community College in 2015, remained onpoint, throwing a four-yard dime to redshirt freshman Julian Hicks with 9:43 to go in the fourth quarter. A failed two-point conversion kept the game at 21-16. “(I) haven’t taken a hit in three years so I was a little excited to get back in there,” Lazzaro said. “Just really excited for the opportunity. Loved the fight that the guys showed in the second half.” In a third-down situation for the Huskies (1-2), CMU senior safety Da’Quaun Jamison produced a stop to give the ball back to Lazzaro down 24-16 for one final opportunity. Lazzaro found junior running back Jonathan Ward on a 3rd-and-10 wheel route to keep the drive alive with 1:55 to play. Lazzaro and company chipped their way to the NIU 6-yard line before the quarterback’s pass was intercepted. The ball went in-and-out of redshirt freshman Cameron Cole’s hands before winding up in the arms of Vinny Labus to end the game. Lazzaro finished the game 13-of-22 through the air for 128 yards and one touchdown. The junior added 12 carries for 55 yards and a score. Redshirt sophomore Poljan was just 5-for-11 with 30 yards passing. The Chippweas had multiple opportunities to score early and often, but Poljan was unable to get the job done. It wasn’t until Lazzaro entered the game that the offense started running on all cylinders. Central Michigan had an early chance to score, as a Northern Illinois snapped the ball over punter Matt Ference’s head with 4:43 to play in the first quarter. Ference jumped on the ball at the NIU 9-yard line. Instead of the Chippewas finding the scoreboard, three dead plays turned into field goal attempt. Senior kicker Michael Armstrong stepped in for a 25-yard opportunity and missed. On the ensuing drive for the Huskies, another bad snap forced Ference to throw

up a prayer. The ball was intercepted by redshirt freshman Troy Brown at the NIU 29. Wasting three-straight plays once again, the Chippewas brought on new Michigan transfer Ryan Tice, who nailed a 27-yard field goal to give CMU a 3-0 edge. “To have the ball down there in the red zone and come away with three points wasn’t enough and I think really was one of the differences in the game,” Bonamego said. The Chippewas were given excellent field position once again as Ference’s punt on Northern Illinois’ next drive went off the side of his foot and out of bounds at the NIU 31-yard line. A few plays later, redshirt junior Antonio Jones-Davis popped the ball out of running back Kumehnnu Gwilly’s hands.

Gwilly’s fumble was recovered by Kyle Pugh at the 21-yard line, and Northern Illinois wasted no time scoring. Childers found redshirt junior Spencer Tears for a 14-yard score with 4:03 left in the first half, giving his team a 7-3 lead over the Chippewas. Senior defensive end Sutton Smith, an All-American, blocked Jack Sheldon’s punt late in the second quarter. With 1:02 to play in the second quarter, Childers tossed up a 7-yard score to Denni Robinson. CMU was unable to gain any offensive momentum in its final drive of the first half, sending both teams to the locker room with a 14-3 margin in favor of Northern Illinois. At the break, CMU Poljan had just 19 yards passing. Following a monster 48-yard run from

sophomore Tre Harbison halfway through the third quarter, Childers lined his offense up at the two-yard line, and he made it 21-3 on a completion to D.J. Brown. The only other score from Northern Illinois was a 36-yard field goal from Andrew Gantz just under nine minutes into the fourth quarter. Ward was unable to find the end zone for the third-straight week after posting over 1,400 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. He finished the game with 16 carries for 74 yards. Hicks was the lead receiver with 63 yards and a score on seven receptions. The Chippewas will regroup before taking on Maine at 3:30 p.m., Sept. 22. at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium.

Late goal, shutout by UIC bests soccer on Senior Day By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

A University of Illinois-Chicago sophomore spoiled senior night for Central Michigan soccer. In the 77th minute, Emily Valentine broke a scoreless tie with the game winning goal from the right side of the net. The final was 1-0. “Lots of highs and lows today,” said head coach Peter McGahey. For a lot of stretches, we put on a dominating performance. We put UIC under a lot of pressure and created some chances.” The Chippewas outshot the Flames 14-2, but were unable to find the back of the net. UIC freshman goalie Haley Leanna made five saves in the game to earn a shutout.

GAME SUMMARY The Chippewas had three shots on goal early while they held the Flames without an attempt, but neither team could score through the first 25 minutes of the first half. Senior Lexi Pelafas broke free nearing the 27th minute of the first half, but she was called for offsides before she could get a shot away on what would’ve been a oneon-one scoring chance. “We have to let today go and create more opportunities to score,” Pelafas said. “The more opportunities we get, the more the balls will go in the goal. We need to get the ball in the net in practice and then it will happen in the games.” By halftime, CMU managed to get six shots on goal but couldn’t find the back of the net in a scoreless game. Senior Madison Costner then had a chance to score but kicked it right into the chest of Leanna to keep the game scoreless in 53rd minute. “Sometimes, it doesn’t always go your way,” Costner said. “We need to take pride in the chances we do have and keep moving forward.” The Chippewas continued to generate scoring chances, but couldn’t get a goal. In the end, Valentines goal was all the Flames needed for the victory. SENIOR DAY Before the game began, Pelafas, Mary Carlson, Shannon Magnan and Madison Costner were all honored during the Chippewas Senior Day. To Pelafas, this group of seniors is always a good time on or off the field. “We bring the energy to the team,” Pelafas said. “The good thing about us is from freshman year to now, we’ve been sisters on and off the field. I think when we come together we connect the most and have a lot of energy off the field and it shows on the field.” Costner agreed that this group has a positive energy together.

“We’re able to bring the team together and will help them bounce back,” Costner said. “I think we have a good chemistry between us and will build from (a loss) like this.” Magnan said she believes this class has a lot of talent that works well together. “We’ve always seen that we can compete well together,” Magnan said. “Once that bleeds into the rest of the underclassmen on this team I think we will be really good. One thing I can say about us seniors is, we always bring it.” Carlson said they always look to each other for solutions to problems in games. “We are really good at holding each other accountable. In return, a lot of people look up to that,” Carlson said. “I think we are all really good leaders on this team and it started freshman year to where we are now. I think it says a lot about us.” McGahey said every group of seniors he has is special and he has enjoyed watching the 2018 class grow. “I think their personal and playing transformation has been really big,” McGahey said. “This group has meant a lot to us from a program standpoint.” The Chippewas will look to bounce back in the Mid-American Conference opener at 6 p.m. Sept. 21 against Ohio from the CMU Soccer Complex
