IAN BILLINGS/MUSTANG DAILY

Sullivan Grosz: Doing all of the little things well JACOB LAUING jocoblauing.md@gmail.com

“How late am I?” he said with a smile. Coming from a guy who’s played four different positions since high school, trained with professional football players in the offseason and is a business administration major with a concentration in industrial technology, it’s nice to know punctuality is still a priority for junior defensive tackle Sullivan Grosz. The interview was scheduled for 10 a.m. outside Mott Gym. It was 9:56 a.m. With a constant drive for perfection like this, Grosz has made a name for himself

on the Cal Poly football team this season. “He’s playing at an AllAmerican level,” head coach Tim Walsh said. “He’s playing like we thought he could play all along. He plays as hard and as well as he can. He’s extremely strong in the weight room and extremely quick for a guy that plays his position.” And while his monstrous 6-foot-4, 280-pound physique has helped him earn a spot on the College Sports Madness All-Big Sky Conference preseason second team, Grosz is anything but a monster off the field. “He’s a big boy,” redshirt freshman linebacker Joseph Gigantino said. “But he is

one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.” Gigantino lived with Grosz and linebacker Johnny Millard during training camp this summer. “You’d think he’d be this big, tough guy,” Gigantino said. “He is, but he is such a nice guy. My parents felt comfortable with me living there because of how respectful Sullivan was to my family and myself.” All-around success is nothing new for Grosz. The Fresno, Calif. native has been building that type of résumé for a few years now. Grosz became a football team captain, academic award winner, student body vice president and homecoming

king, all while on the honor roll with a 4.10 grade point average at San Joaquin Memorial High School in Fresno. He then became a member of Walsh’s first recruiting class at Cal Poly, and played all 11 games in each of his first two seasons, earning him a spot on the 2012 College Football Performance Awards preseason watch list for this season. “Last year, we graduated nine seniors on the (defensive) line,” Grosz said. “I knew I had to be a predominate player and a predominate leader on the team. I knew I had to be a good example for a lot of the younger guys. You can’t take any days off. You not only have to focus on yourself but helping others.” This leadership stems not from his voice on the team, but from a subtle yet powerful veteran presence, and a work ethic his teammates can’t help but gravitate toward. “He’s a quiet leader,” Walsh said. “He’s not talking all the time, but when he needs to speak, he’ll speak. And they listen.” Gigantino is one of those players. “As a freshman, I have a lot of respect for Sullivan,” Gigantino said. “He goes hard every single play. He just has a passion for the game and he

shows that on the field with his work ethic.” Grosz is never satisfied. He’s always finding a way to improve, and, as Walsh puts it, he is a student of the game. “He really studies the techniques that are involved in playing his position,” Walsh said. “The biggest thing you can say about him is to watch him to continue to grow even though he is a pretty good product as is.” Grosz spent spring break 2011 in Tampa Bay with Millard, whose father, Keith, was a defensive line coach for the Buccaneers at the time. This summer the two defenders spent nearly three weeks in Nashville training with the defensive line of the team Keith currently coaches, the Tennessee Titans. “Whether he is in the weight room or watching film, he sets a good example and has led our defense to a pretty good record this year,” Gigantino said. The Mustangs (7-2, 5-1 Big Sky) rank amongst the Big Sky’s top defensive programs in rushing defense and passing defense efficiency. They have limited opponents to an average 24.2 points per game, which helped them achieve a 7-0 start to the season. But after breaking their undefeated run with two con-

secutive losses to Sacramento State (6-4, 4-3 Big Sky) and Eastern Washington (7-2, 5-1 Big Sky), Grosz and the Mustangs will host Idaho State (18, 0-6 Big Sky) this Saturday at 6 p.m. in the season’s final home game at Alex G. Spanos Stadium. “Each week is a new week,” Grosz said. “Each team is a new team. Even though you might have won on Saturday or even lost on Saturday, you start over come Monday. You can’t grieve or celebrate on the past too soon because there’s more to come.” The Mustangs may have to use that attitude this weekend, as they need victories in their final two games against Idaho State and first place Northern Arizona (8-1, 6-0 Big Sky) on Nov. 17 to secure a share of the Big Sky title. “We have two weeks to win a championship,” Walsh said. “It’s not like we lost everything by losing. We’ve got to get back to our 35-40 points a game and we’ve got to play better pass defense. (Idaho State is) better than their record indicates because they can throw the ball around.” The Bengals have relied on their passing offense this year, as they lead the Big Sky with see GROSZ pg. 9

Volleyball to travel to Alabama, Florida Team looks for strong ﬁnish after recent slump Colton Menzel

SPORTS@DAILYGAMECOCK.COM

It has been a turbulent ride the past month for South Carolina volleyball. After a 13-0 start to the season, the Gamecocks have won just three of their last 16 games. They currently have a 4-13 conference record, good for last in the SEC East. With three games remaining in t he season, coach Scot t Swanson knows that despite their slump, the Gamecocks can still finish strong down the fi nal stretch that starts with their road trip this weekend. T he G a me c o c k s w i l l f ac e of f against Alabama on Friday night and fi nish off the weekend on Sunday at Florida. Swanson said the two games will be a challenge for his struggling team.

“ It ’s A l ab a m a’s s e n io r n i g ht , so we’re expecting a good crowd. Emotions are always high when it’s the last home game for their seniors, and they are coming off of a big upset against Kentucky last week,” Swanson said. ”The level that they’re playing at right now is different from the fi rst time we saw them.” As for the defending-conferencechampion Florida Gators, Swanson knows that Sunday’s match will be one of t he toughest t he team has endured all season. The Gators have won all but one of their conference matches this season and are currently the No. 16 team in the country. Early in the season, South Carolina was able to take the Gators to four sets and had them in trouble at various points in the match. The near-upset has Swanson and t he Gamecock s caut iously opt im ist ic despite t he Gators’ undeniable prowess. “The first time we played them

here it was actually one of our better matches. We took game two off of them and almost took game three,” Swanson said. “If we execute at a high level and hang around with great defense, I like our chances against anyone.” Of t he t h ree remain ing games on South Carolina’s schedule, the Gamecocks need to win one to fi nish above .500 for only the second time in the past nine years. In what is only Swanson’s second season as head coach, he knows that continuing to make strides like these as a program is huge. “ You a lway s wa nt to cont i nue mov i ng for wa rd a s a prog r a m ,” Swanson said. “It’s super important that we end on a good feeling about where we left off so that when we come back t h is spr i ng we k now exactly what to work towards so that this time next year we are in an even better spot.”

As for the future of South Carolina volleyball, Swanson says that there is much to be excited about w it h developing and returning players. “Juliette Thevenin, Lexie Pawlik and Paige Wheeler will all be back next year so we have a good returning core,” Swanson said. “We also have some f resh men who have played signif icantly for us this year, like Darian Dozier and Jenna Allen who we’re expecting big things from next year.” In Swanson’s eyes, the future is bright, but the team will need time to develop. It starts with finishing the year with strong performances at Alabama and Florida this weekend. “ I k now we have it i n u s. We just have to be a little bit patient,” Swanson said.

The women will outplay the men SOISSON from page 20 — and immediately walking away with my earnings, never to return. Oh no, I’m in it for the long haul. The following are my predictions; come April I’ll be happy just to get my 20 bucks back. 1. Football will play for the Ivy championship on Nov. 17 at Cornell. This time last year, I wouldn’t even dare “Cornell” and “championship” in the same sentence, but the day has come. Quarterback Jeff Mathews and wide receiver Shane Savage will be a threatening duo this season, and the Big Red will make some big waves in the Ancient Eight. Both teams could enter Week 10 undefeated, or either could have one loss. I won’t Rachel Bleustein/Staff Photographer predict the nitty-gritty, but the winner of that game will be the DP Sports prediction: Penn football will have to go through Cornell quarterback Jeff Mathews on the road to the Ivy League championship this season. Ivy champ. 2. Women’s soccer will make the NCAA tournament. Last season I was shocked the Quakers weren’t selected as an at-large to the NCAA tournament, despite a 14-2-1 record and 13 shutouts (including seven in a row). The Red and Blue lost a few key players to graduation in May, but Kerry Scalora returns to invigorate Penn’s attack. This year, the Quakers will find a way into the tournament — which probably means winning the Ivy League.

Cartwright will emerge as a true leader for the Quakers on and off the court, and the freshman and sophomore classes will get plenty of playing time and valuable experience for the future.

5. The women out-perform the men. Call me a feminist, but women’s programs will win more Ivy championships than men’s programs. It’s in the cards for women’s soccer, 4.

MSU SEEKING POSITIVES AFTER TOUGH WEEKEND By Alyssa Girardi girardi5@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS ■■

The MSU hockey team (0-20) is looking for little positives after last weekend. And after a pair of tough losses to top-ranked Minnesota on Gopher ice, little positives are all it really has. “In spite of the outcome of the weekend, we were trying to learn how valuable it is to just look at the game in small bits and focus on the process,” head coach Tom Anastos said. “If you just sit there and wait for the result, you’re going to lose. You have to focus on every step that helps get you to that result.” Minnesota kicked off the 2012-13 season-opening period with three goals right off the bat in the fi rst period, and it proved too much of a deficit for the Spartans to overcome. MSU lost that game 5-1. The following night followed a similar storyline, but Minne-

sota netted two more goals than Friday night, tallying up seven goals versus MSU’s one. Anastos said his team didn’t handle its speed well through the neutral zone into the defensive end, and did not do an effective job of backchecking. When looking back on the weekend, senior defenseman and alternative captain Matt Grassi called it an experience — just not a good one. But with it being so early in the season, he and the rest of the team find it too early to let their heads hang. “Obviously, Minnesota is going to be one of the top teams in the country this year,” Grassi said. “They’re going to be competing for a national championship come the end of the season, and that’s where we want to be. We want to be able to skate with them and be right where they’re at right now. We defi nitely have some work to do, but there’s nowhere but up from here.” He added the biggest posi-

tive from the game was seeing where the Spartans stacked up against a national contender, giving him a hands-on idea of what MSU needs to look like in a few months. Senior forward Chris Forfar agreed that the series gave him a pretty clear picture of the areas of improvement the team needs to focus on. “We need to be more relentless on the puck,” Forfar said. “Seeing some video, you think you’re working hard. You have this picture in your head that you’re working hard, but when you watch the video back, you can see that there’s always a little more you can do, a little more you can give.” Despite Minnesota offering two tough losses, Anastos said the team needs to move forward, but he’s proud of the way his players handled the series. “I like the approach the guys took,” he said. “I didn’t see guys hanging their heads or getting discouraged, and we’re not going to allow that to happen.”

A f ter a rough weekend marred by two losses, the MSU volleyball team is looking to get its feet back under itself with a win on Wednesday. The team, however, that the Spartans are going up against isn’t just a regular team -- it’s their in-state rival, Michigan. The Spartans (15-5 overall, 3-5 Big Ten) will have to overcome adversity that might come from their shaky weekend in order to give them a chance to beat Michigan (16-6, 4-4). Head coach Cathy George said that the team will look to get back to basics during its short week of practice. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to play (over the weekend),” George said. “We got to get back to the little things and step up to the next level.” The Spartans are coming off of a weekend that included a season-worst hitting percentage of .135 on Friday against Northwestern, and a five-set loss to Illinois in a game where the Spartans once led 2-0. The team undoubtedly could consider last weekend a slump, and sophomore outside hitter Taylor Galloway knows what the Spartans need to zero in on to possibly get back on track. “Our main focus is to work on our mindset and just to focus on ourselves,” Galloway said. After the game against Illinois, both George and sopho-

“Our main focus is to work on our mindset and just to focus on ourselves.” Taylor Galloway, sophomore outside hitter

more libero Kori Moster said the Spartans need to focus on being more aggressive. A win against a Michigan team that has won its last two matches could be what the team needs to get its tenacity back. “It’s going to be a confidence boost, and it’s going to be a test of our mental abilities, too,” Moster said. Over the weekend, the offensive attack was carried by junior outside hitter Lauren Wicinski, who had 38 total kills over the weekend. The defense was led by junior middle blocker Alexis Mathews, and George noted that the team will be looking for Mathews to

continue her success from the past weekend. “Alexis Mathews had an excellent weekend,” George said. “She is the type of player who can play at a really high level and physically take over matches.” The Spartans split with the Wolverines a season ago, retaining the highly coveted State Pride flag, which is awarded annually to the winner of the series between the two historic rivals. George and the Spartans will look to turn their season around, along with earning some in-state bragging rights, against the Wolverines at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in Ann Arbor.

WOMEN’S SOCCER

Team managers play crucial role for Spartans By Zach Smith smithza9@msu.edu THE STATE NEWS ■■

As fans pack DeMartin Stadium at Old College Field for the MSU women’s soccer team, it’s the key players, big goals and critical coaching decisions that merit admiration. But in order to get the Spartans in optimal game condition, it’s the team’s resident managers who do the dirty work that often is unnoticed. Advertising senior John Sklut and fi nance senior Jacob Merritt have been team managers for four years, and when Sklut was offered to be the next manger of the team, he said he couldn’t pass it up because it was so natural to him. “I’ve been playing soccer ever since I was little, and I haven’t ever really missed a fall or spring season as playing or being out there,” Sklut said. “I

obviously knew I wasn’t going to play at the next level, but to still have a part in the team, even if is just being around the team, it gave my day a little bit of scheduling to it.” Merritt said he wouldn’t give up his position with the team for the world. “I always say I have the best job on campus because I hang around a game I grew up loving all day,” Merritt said. “So it’s a job, and I don’t regret having to come to work every day.” At many women’s soccer home games, his partner in crime, Sklut, sings the national anthem, and Merritt said he’s lucky he doesn’t have to sing. “Johnny’s a great singer and has a great voice,” Merritt said. “That’s too much pressure for me. I think it’s so cool that it’s someone close to the girls and we don’t have to play it like a normal soundtrack every day.”

Sklut, who has been involved with music since age 3, said his parents are really musical and he’s glad to make people happy with his singing. Even the players like hearing Sklut’s voice piped through the loudspeakers at DeMartin Stadium at Old College Field. Senior forward Olivia Stander said the team uses it as motivation. “We love when Johnny sings, and every single time he’s singing live for our games, it kind of pumps us up a little bit.” Stander said. She added they are almost part of the team and are treated as such. “They do everything for us,” she said. “They set up for us, they stay after (and) they’re here longer hours than we are, so we really appreciate them. … We really take them in as part of our team, and we love them being here every day, and we really appreciate everything they do; they’re just part of the team.” Head coach Tom Saxton said they’ve had managers since he started 22 years ago, and he wishes they could travel with the team every weekend. Saxton said the team uses other managerial systems as a gauge of how to shape its own program. “I didn’t learn from soccer teams, but I learned more from other teams within Michigan State — looking at basketball and (Tom) Izzo’s incredible staff as the high end and figuring out what we’re capable of in terms of our budget,” Saxton said. Sklut said that he encourages all students who love sports to look into getting a manager position with one of the sports. “Whether you’re getting paid for (managing) or you just want it for a nice shirt, there’s so much more you can get out of it than what you originally think,” Sklut said. “Just because you don’t get a chance to play in division one doesn’t mean you can’t be a part of it.”
