Red Sox Rolling Rally brings thousands to Boston BU to offer nonBy Kyle Plantz Daily Free Press Staff

As hundreds of thousands of fans and spectators lined the streets, people cheered and shouted as their favorite Boston Red Sox players drove by and confetti flew through the air for the World Series victory parade on Saturday.

The “rolling rally” consisted of 25 duck boats beginning at Fenway Park with pre-parade speeches by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick. The duck boats traveled past the Boston Common and City Hall, ending with a splash in the Charles River by the Museum of Science.

“To see the team come from where it came last season to where we are now, to see this whole city come from where we were to where we are right now is incredibly affirming,” Patrick said. “It’s great for the city and it’s great for all of us.”

Several people held signs for the players that read, “Let Me Kiss Your Beard” or “Big Papi: MVP!” Cheers and chants roared throughout the city as people started singing songs that are usually played at Red Sox games, such as “Shipping Up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphys and “Sweet Caroline.”

People from all over Boston and New England came out to watch the Red Sox roll through the city.

“I’ve been a Red Sox fan for a million years, and to see the comeback is just great,” said Steve Leahy, 57, a resident from Barrington, R.I. “I’ve been watching them since the days when Boston teams never won anything. Now, it’s just phenomenal. They’re a blast to watch. I’m glad to say I saw this coming though. They earned it.”

Red Sox fans celebrate with confetti Saturday afternoon during the Red Sox Rolling Rally.

The Red Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 of the World Series Wednesday. This is their third World Series victory in 10 seasons, with previous wins in 2004 and 2007. They went from being near the bottom of the rankings in the 2012 season to number one in 2013.

The parade made a stop at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street, where two explosions went off on April 15 that killed three people and injured more than 260.

Boston resident Barry Bui, 29, said the city deserved this win after the Marathon bombings.

“It’s fantastic to be here,” he said. “The energy’s been great. It’s pretty special that it’s happening now and it couldn’t really be any better. The weather’s perfect, and it’s just surreal that the team was able to do this for the city in light of the marathon bombings.”

Red Sox players Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Johnny Gomes placed the World Series trophy on the finish line and presented “Boston Strong” jerseys with the area code 617 printed on it and presented it to the general manager of the Forum Restaurant, which was severely damaged by one of the explosions.

BU encounters IT problems during registration weekend

By Margaret Waterman Daily Free Press Staff

Wi-Fi problems in parts of Boston University’s Charles River Campus appear to have interrupted students’ weekend and, for some, spring registration.

Students complained to IT and on social media about their Internet connections in the past day. Some users tweeted at BU’s account publicizing their frustrations with the Wi-Fi provided on campus, telling BU to “get it together.”

Remy Goodman, a senior in the College of Communication who lives on Bay State Road, said that she has not been able to connect to BU’s Wi-Fi network since

Saturday night.

“I don’t have any internet at all,” Goodman said. “Last night I started having problems, and I still don’t have internet at all.”

Goodman added that she called BU’s IT Help Desk on Sunday night and was told that the department encountered a problem with the BU server.

“I actually called IT tech, and they said they’ve been getting a lot of calls today about this, and it’s not my computer and they’re trying to fix the BU server,” Goodman said. “They said ‘the good news is that’s it’s not your computer.’”

An unidentified employee at the BU

IT Help Desk at Mugar Memorial Library confirmed that students have experienced an “intermittent problem” with their Wi-Fi over the last 24 hours. He said IT is working to resolve the issue.

Due to the connectivity issues, Goodman said she had to make changes to her class schedule for the upcoming semester using her cellphone.

“I used my roommate’s computer to register in the morning, but I’ve been making changes on my phone throughout the day,” she said.

Boston University will start offering art classes taught by students in the College of Fine Arts, officials said.

CFA Student Government President Alexander Golob said the classes are noncredit courses that will act way to bring art to students who are not necessarily able to commit to credited courses.

“I thought it would be a good way to bring arts to students who don’t necessarily have the opportunity to take classes or the time in their schedules for the massive commitment that an art class can be,” Golob, a CFA sophomore, said.

For a $20 enrollment fee, students have the opportunity to sign up for six weeks of one-and-a-half hour classes, Golob said.

Specific dates for the classes have not yet been decided.

“We are open to any skill level, whether you’ve never held a pencil before in your entire life or you’ve taken art classes all throughout elementary, middle or high school,” he said.

The non-credit art classes would encourage students to be a part of the arts community at BU, while providing student teachers with valuable experience, Golob said.

“I personally believe that art is nourishing to the soul and helps you express yourself,” Golob said. “In addition to that, for the students who are teaching it, it’s an opportunity to learn how to teach and learn important skills for whether they go into teaching or whether they go into any job.”

The Monday, Wednesday and Thursday classes will focus on fundamental drawing. The Tuesday class will involve equential drawing, which is essentially comic book drawing.

“We are offering them this semester so we can use them as a pilot to gauge people’s interest, gauge what works and what doesn’t, and then depending on that we are going see what works better for next semester,” he said.

Historic mayoral race draws little attention from out-of-state BU students, some say

By Trisha Thadani Daily Free Press Staff

As Boston nears its first open mayoral election in decades, some Boston University students said they do not feel they have a stake in the election.

College of Arts and Sciences senior, Renée Gaillard said that since many BU students come from outside the greater Boston area, many do not feel they will be affected by the outcome race. Gaillard said students would probably be more interest in this race if it pertained their own hometowns.

“In general, I haven’t really followed Boston politics just because I guess I am focused more on New York [Gaillard’s home state],” Gaillard said. “…But since I think everyone is coming from different areas, they probably focus more on what’s going to back home than here … but at the end of the day you’re still living here [in Boston], so it does affect you.”

Overall, Gaillard said she has not heard much talk around BU’s campus about the mayoral race.

The Boston mayoral election is scheduled to take place on Tuesday for the first time in 20 years. Mass. Rep. Martin Walsh and City Councilor John Connolly are looking to replace Boston Mayor Thomas Menino as he steps down after this fifth term in office.

Menino, who took office in 1993, announced on March 28 that he would not run for re-election due to several health ailments.

Nicole Jenkins, a College of Communication junior, said that since she lives in Los Angeles she does not feel the mayoral race in Boston pertains to her. Regardless, she said she is interested in how the candidates aim to expand the middle class as part of their economic plans.

“The top 1 percent has the majority of economic control, and there’s not much of a middle class anymore. It’s either totally rich or totally economically poor,” Jenkins said. “So to expand the middle class you kind of build more of a bridge, and even

SMG sophomore: Art courses would give more students exposure to arts SG ArtS: From Page 1

BU Arts Initiative Director Ty Furman said that the courses would allow students to both teach and experience the arts.

“Any opportunity that anybody gets to either train or experience the arts is great,” he said.

“We know that there are tons of students who have had arts experiences in high school and would enjoy continuing to have those experiences but don’t want to necessarily major or minor or get graded in a class.”

CFA Student Government member Maddy McKeever, a freshman, said that the classes should educate students from other colleges about the fundamentals of visual arts.

“A lot of people would be interested in the classes, and it would be fun to spread art awareness,” she said.

College of Arts and Sciences freshman Ellie Hitt said while she would not particularly want to take any courses, she thinks it could be beneficial for students looking to experiment with visual arts.

“My roommate did lots of art at home and has mentioned how she wants to continue to work here, but doesn’t have a space,” Hitt said. “It would be a really nice place for students to meet and gather who like art but aren’t looking to make a living by it.”

Collin Erickson, a sophomore in the School of Management, said these courses would be good for students who have little exposure to the arts throughout their time at BU. “I believe that any student who would like to take a risk

“A lot of people don’t necessarily have the right equipment or the right utensils if they wanted to experiment with painting or drawing,” she said. “I actually tried to get into an introductory COM course just so I could take a break from my studies and do something artistic.

“It would be so fun for people who don’t get to be exposed to that.”

Rachel Riley contributed to the reporting of this article.

or further develop their current understanding of an art should have that ability [to do so],” he said.

Lauren Miller, a senior in CAS, said that she always wanted to take art classes while studying at BU. “I’ve wanted to do that since I was a freshman, but I’ve never had room in my course schedule,” she said Miller said that the classes would be a good resource for those who want to try art but who might not have access to the right equipment.

out the economic control just to make things fairer.”

What it often comes down to is where students are originally from, said Jared Kneis, a School of Management senior. Because many BU students come from out of state or out of the country, it is hard for them to connect to Boston in a political sense.

“I haven’t really paid attention to the current race because I am not from Boston. I’m from Maryland.” Kneis said. “I’m more in tuned to policies going on over there, the governor’s race going on there. So I’m kind of out of the loop when it comes to Boston politics.”

On the other hand, COM senior Megan Tucker said that although she is not personally in-

“BU students kind of have an interest in everything,” Tucker said. “The types of students that go to BU like to be involved in their community so they care about lots of things, and that’s just probably a personal passion of theirs.”

Evangelos Koulogeorgiou, a SMG senior and a Boston native, said that if he were to head to the polls on Tuesday, he would probably cast his vote for Martin Walsh.

“He is more grounded and able to connect with the city, because John Connolly is just from West Roxbury and kind of high office and doing his own thing, and he’s not as able to connect with the people as Marty Walsh is,” he said.

Campus & City Column Close Encounters An ode to catcallers

It had been two days since I’d showered.

For some reason, I thought this factoid would assist me as I walked toward my dorm and right past a guy catcalling every girl who passed him. However, as I watched him wolf-whistle and then yell at a young woman jogging in the opposite direction, I realized my slightly greasy JESSICA state would prob- DEPIES ably not be a deterrent.

My last hope as I lowered my eyes and quickened my pace was that this creep would already be satisfied by his previous comments and would feel no need to harass another person. But I guess when a man’s primary interaction with women involve discomforting, unwanted comments toward their appearance, he’s never satisfied.

He was about to get into his car when he looked up and said “Oh hey, how you doin’?” Yes, it does sound contrived, doesn’t it?

The jogger had just passed us; his infidelity was absolutely shocking.

When I didn’t respond, he said something about how he just wanted me to smile, and why wouldn’t I smile?

Okay random person, do you want to know the first step to making a girl smile? Don’t make degrading comments at her on the street.

I’d like to meet the person who came up with the idea of catcalling.

I’d look him (yes, I’m going to assume it’s a man) in the eyes, maybe ask him what he was thinking and then slap him in the face.

I don’t know any woman who appreciates it when men honk and yell out of the windows of their cars as she walks by, nor do I know anyone who feels better about themselves following any similar encounters. I’d call the whole practice outdated, but that would imply that there was some time in history when it was socially acceptable. If I could go back in time to, say, ancient Greece, I’m pretty sure the women there would have similar responses to me.

I do believe there’s a right way to compliment someone you don’t know. It would involve approaching the person face-to-face, respectfully asking for his or her attention, and then speaking. However, I’m not sure how this plan would work for the normal catcalling man.

“Excuse me Miss, I just wanted to stop you for a moment to say you really work it in those jeans,” the gentleman in question would say, possibly with a tip of his top hat and a slight bow.

As it stands, the men who cat-call aren’t interested in making women’s days better, expressing their love for the opposite gender or even “seeing you smile.” They simply enjoy subjecting innocent people to some twisted power play.

Unfortunately, trying to gain respect by being disrespectful stopped being effective after the sixth grade.

All of those pre-teen bullies either grew up or, it seems, turned into man-children who still don’t know how to treat women.

And, as I learned, they’ll treat all women this way — it doesn’t matter how many days you go without showering.

Gov. Patrick funds expansion of Silver Line BUSM professor nominated for NIH committee

By Steven Dufour Daily Free Press Staff

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority received funding to expand the Silver Line to link South Station, the Seaport District, East Boston and Chelsea, Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick announced Wednesday.

The Silver Line Gateway Expansion, which includes a renovated Chelsea commuter rail stop, is expected to be completed by late 2015 or early 2016. It is estimated to cost $82.5 million, according to a Wednesday press release.

“We have a great transportation system,” Michael Dukakis, former governor of Massachusetts and political science professor at Northeastern University, told The Daily Free Press in a phone interview. “In order to keep it good, you’ve got to keep investing in it and adding to it…It’s one of the reasons for Boston’s success, and as long as he [Patrick] can make sure it’s done cost effectively, he’s of course doing the right thing.”

The line will be extended from Boston Logan Airport northward to the future site of an Eastern Avenue stop and will continue in the direction of the Chelsea commuter rail station, stopping at the Box District, Downtown Chelsea and Mystic Mall, according to plans from the MBTA. Joe Pesaturo, spokesman for the MBTA, said the outbound Chelsea line will be shut down during construction and buses will be re-routed due to the reconstruction of the Wash-

ington Street Bridge as a part of the project.

The announcement comes in the midst of several renovations to the T this year. Major projects include the Green Line’s extension into Somerville, the renovation of several Blue Line stops and the early stages of a complete redesign of South Station.

“Growth requires investment [in transportation],” Patrick stated in the Wednesday release. “If we want to expand opportunity in our Commonwealth, this is what government must do and do well.”

Gov. Patrick attempted to pass The Way Forward Plan as a part of his budget in March, which outlined an investment of $13.7 billion into the MBTA and road renovations across the Commonwealth. It was not passed,

but Pesaturo said Patrick’s continued focus on transportation has allowed for substantial growth nonetheless.

“The Governor has made it very clear that a strong transportation infrastructure is the backbone of a robust economy,” Pesaturo said in an email.

“Once the improvement and expansion projects are complete, commuters will find it easier than ever to choose public transit over the automobile.”

Dukakis said the continued investments in mass transit were vital to the Massachusetts economy, but the numerous expansions this year should only be done if they can help reduce the T’s more than $8 billion of debt.

“Revenue just has to be replaced,” he said. “Because this is a state-run

Sales tax takes effect for Mass. Amazon shoppers

By Sara Herschander Daily Free Press Staff

As the holiday shopping season nears, many online shoppers in Massachusetts may notice more expensive price tags on Amazon.com. The website began collecting sales tax on Friday due to an agreement made between the company and the Commonwealth in December 2012.

The policy change marks Massachusetts’ first attempt to apply to an online retailer the same 6.25 percent sales tax collected from brick-andmortar stores, whose physical presence within state lines compels them by law to collect such taxes.

“Retailers, whether they’re selling from a store or via the Internet, should all face the same tax,” said Laurence Kotlikoff, a professor of economics at Boston University. “At the minimum, there should be an equal playing field. You could argue

that online sellers should face an ac- cally undermined urban life, and tual tax, that they should be facing a created and contributed to suburban higher tax because they’re eliminat- sprawl and eliminated some of the things that made living in a city or ing the community aspects of life.”

Devin Mann, assistant professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine, was recently nominated to serve as a researcher on a National Institutes of Health committee, according to a press release.

Mann, who is also an attending physician at Boston Medical Center, was appointed by the U.S. Government Accountability Office to the Health and Information Technology Policy Committee. He has led several NIH-funded studies at BUSM. Mann said in an email that he plans to bring a unique combination of skills and experiences to the committee.

These studies explore how to connect available health technologies, such as weight loss websites and mobile applications, to the health care systems, he said.

“This [research] includes linking patients and their doctors to the data generated from behavior change websites, developing smartphone based lifestyle change programs and using technology to support better, more effective communication between doctors and patients,” Mann said.

Mann said he intends to bring his integrated range of clinical, research and operations experiences to his role on the HIT Policy Committee.

“I am first and foremost a primary care physician,” Mann said. “I am also a researcher focused on using health information technologies such as electronic health records, smart phones, wireless devices, et cetera to improving the delivery of healthcare and helping patients live better lives.”

HIT Policy Committee members recommend standards and methods in which the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology can exchange patient medical information, according to its website. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 originally established committee.

Mann received a medical degree from the New York University School of Medicine, and a Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Services from Weill Cornell Medical College.

Boston resident creates fundraiser for owner of flipped car at World Series

By Kelsey Newell Daily Free Press Staff

After hearing about the car on Boylston Street that was flipped over

by Boston Red Sox fans Wednesday night, a Brookline resident extended a helping hand to the car’s owner through a crowd-funding campaign.

Bobby O’Neill, 27, a resident of Brookline,started a fundraiser on Gofundme.com Thursday to raise the $2,500 that owner Chad Duncan needed for insurance.

Come Friday, O’Neill raised more than enough for Duncan.

“I’ve kind of had it with destruction in this city,” O’Neill said. “I went to Northeastern [University] from 2004 to 2009, so I was around Fenway when the Red Sox won the last time, [and] there was destruction then. Obviously it was taken to a new level in April with the bombings and I’d basically had enough of it.”

Thousands in Boston took to the streets after the Red Sox’s first World

Series victory at home in 95 years.

Although the Boston Police Department was prepared and the crowd stayed relatively under control, the city was not all peaceful. Bottles were thrown in the Back Bay area, nine arrests were made and Duncan’s car was flipped over.

When O’Neill heard Duncan’s car had been flipped, he said, he wanted to make the situation a positive one.

“I read an article Thursday about this guy’s car, and I just thought about how tired I was of the news stories that are just focusing on the bad things people do, so I wanted to turn that around and make it into a good thing,” he said.

As of Sunday, $3,570 had been raised, according to Gofundme.com.

“We’ve actually gotten about $900 on top of the initial $2,500 that I was aiming for, which I didn’t even think I could get,” he said. “I thought the site would stop taking money once we reached the goal, but money

kept coming in.”

O’Neill said he would leave the fundraiser open, and any extra donations would go to The One Fund organization that offers aid to the Boston Marathon bombing victims.

“I think it speaks of the same spirit: Boston coming together and helping someone out,” he said. “It seemed a logical continuation.”

O’Neill said the fans who flipped the car do not accurately represent Boston residents, and many other fans celebrated safely.

“In my mind, they don’t represent Boston,” he said. “They certainly don’t represent Sox fans, or anyone that just wants to have fun and celebrate. Celebrating is not destroying things or hurting other people. I don’t know what was going through their heads, but that is not how I would’ve chosen to celebrate.”

Some Boston residents said celebrating should be a completely joyful experience for all.

Scott Patterson, 48, of Allston, said because of the bombings, he is surprised fans were not more respectful.

“I don’t think it makes much sense to destroy things in celebration,” he said. “It’s supposed to be a happy time for the city, and people took it too far. You would think after all that’s happened to Boston this year, we’d all be able to come together for a celebration that’s just pure fun for everybody.”

Jarett Vogler, 21, of Back Bay, said though there was destruction, violence has declined since previous Red Sox World Series wins.

“People need to remember to respect others when all that craziness is going on, but I don’t think anything anyone did was with malicious intent,” he said. “This year was a huge improvement compared to the events of the 2004 World Series, and hopefully next time will be even better.”

Red Sox fans rejoice at parade, follow the duck boats downtown Parade: From Page 1

the scene near the finish line was incredible and very moving.

“After moving here a couple years ago, Boston has become my adopted city, and this is the best way all of this could have happened,” he said. “The players did it themselves.

They got together and decided Boston needed something good after what happened in April. If we win next year, that’s great. This win is the most important though because it was a literal flip from the worst possible scenario to the best in a few months.”

As the duck boats took their victory lap in the Charles River, spectators waved to the players and cheered along the banks on the Esplanade. Boston resident Joseph LaCorte, 20, said he walked with the duck boats for the whole parade.

“It’s just a really awesome atmosphere, one of the best places to be,” he said. “It’s crazy to this happened in a way that was so perfect. It’s like an ideal, that while recovering from the terrible things that happened in a city where baseball is so important for them, to win it all for the city. It’s almost a situation that would normally be too good to be true.”

Gov. Patrick approves committee for possible 2024 Olympics in Boston

By Sophia Wedeen Daily Free Press Staff

The exploratory committee to investigate the feasibility of hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics in Boston moved forward on Thursday, when Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick signed a bill, proposed by the state legislature to put together the committee, into law.

Corey Dinopoulos, co-founder of the Boston 2024 Organizing Committee, an advocacy group that favors Boston as a host city for the summer Olympics in 2024, said the project would bring more than economic growth to the Commonwealth.

“Boston could realize far-reaching economic, business, and social benefits from hosting the Games,” he said. “Hosting the Olympics would bring Boston global recognition as a leading cultural, sports, educational,

and business center…[and] a winning bid and successful Games could leave a lasting legacy of civic pride and greater sense of community.”

The United States Olympic Committee sent bid invitations to the country’s 25 largest cities in on March 8, as well as 10 other cities interested in hosting the 2024 Olympics.

Several public figures, including former Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, voiced support for the possibility of Massachusetts hosting the games.

Mass. Rep. Chris Walsh, member of the Joint Committee on Tourism, Arts and Cultural Development, said he sees the Olympics as an opportunity to improve neighborhoods.

“If you go back and look at what London was able to do in terms of changing some neighborhoods and really revitalizing areas by bringing

in these venues, I think it’s a really good idea,” he said. “One of the big projects we’d have to do is to get our regional transportation in order.

That’s a great bootstrap, or step-up, to get things done that are little hard to do out of the normal budget.”

Walsh said one of the main priorities in the coming years would be designing facilities for the Olympics that would still be usable after the event concluded. “We will have to consider what happens after the Olympics with all of these venues,” he said. “We need to plan it so we have an ability to integrate them back into the communities and use these to make better places for us for everyday use afterwards.”

The Olympics would also bring many benefits to Massachusetts’ schools, Dinopoulos said.

proved athletic facilities that colleges and universities would take full advantage of after a Boston Games,” he said. “Not to mention a 19th-century transit system upgraded for a 21st century city.”

Although he supports the bid, Walsh said hosting the games would be difficult.

“Security, obviously, is a huge issue,” he said. “We had the Marathon bombing, Olympics in the past have had some issues. It’s a real opportunity to do something for these neighborhoods that you would never, ever get a chance to do.”

Some residents of Boston said they are eager for the opportunity to host the Olympics.

Reggie Rece, 47, of Roslindale, said the recent World Series win for the Red Sox demonstrates that the city is equipped to manage large

sporting events.

“We’re already a big sports city, so we’re used to this.” he said. “Look at what a job the Boston police did on Wednesday handling the crowds at Fenway. They kept everything under control.”

Dave Vieira, 50, of the Fenway area of Boston, said he is skeptical about the effects of the Olympics on the Commonwealth.

“It could be really good, but I’m afraid business-wise,” he said. “Here at Fenway, with the last game, everything got shut down. There were a lot of small businesses that temporarily had nowhere to operate because of the security. It might work, but with so many people coming into the area, congestion is a huge concern. They need to consider the less obvious effects this enormous event will have on local business.”

operation, tax funds have to increase and passing tax breaks left and right like the legislature has been doing the past 10 years or so is just not the way to do. They’re [tax breaks] absolutely worthless, and if you want to find funds for public transportation, that’s the place to go.”

Several residents said they were excited at the possibilities of the T expanding its service to more locations..

“It’s pretty important to be getting service to as many people as possible, if only because it makes Boston more

accessible to the thousands of people in addition to helping with traffic and smog,” said Stephanie Lemmeyer, 26, of Boston. “Of course, as far as cost goes, there’s never a good time to shove millions at transit without tradeoffs, but it’s something that has to be done.”

Zach Boutin, 23, of Brighton, said investing in the MBTA would serve to reduce the system’s debt.

“The expansion seems to be following the demand for where it’s needed,” he said. “The T needs to balance between making new things and

maintaining or repairing what it has, but this expansion seems like it could be profitable.”

Debbie Prew, 66, of Brighton, said she was more skeptical of the proposed projects.

“They [the government] keep paying more and more to build on it [the T], but there are just too many issues it needs to fix first,” she said. “The buses are spotty, the drivers are unqualified, and the trolleys have breakdowns all the time. Yes, expansion is good, but there’s no point if it’s building on a broken system.”

Before his appointment as a researcher on the HIT Policy Committee, Mann served as the HIT lead on the Evidence-Based Medicine Task Force of the Society of General Internal Medicine, the release stated.

Gene Dodaro, comptroller gen-

dition of today’s new appointments.”

BUSM Dean Karen Antman nominated him to serve as a researcher on the committee for the next three years. Mann said he is looking forward to serving on the HIT Policy Committee through October 2016.

REVIEW: House of Blues gets ‘Aokified’

here are certain elements that characterize any rave, regardless of who is playing it — overwhelmingly loud music, gratuitous light displays and a severe lack of clothing are just a few. For a rave to really stand out, the DJ needs to use creativity to make the experience especially memorable. Unfortunately, despite Steve Aoki’s best efforts, his Aokify America party was average, and perhaps even disappointing.

Opening for Aoki was heavier DJ Borgore who, for being relatively unknown, put on quite a show. Flanked on either side by professional strippers — well, at least they looked professional — the Israeli DJ played a handful of his own mixes before giving the audience an ‘audio tour’ of recent EDM. Borgore spent the majority of his set mixing beloved EDM songs like Zedd’s “Clarity,” Bingo Players’ “Rattle” and Empire of the Sun’s “Alive.” The crowd responded quickly as the shuffling and quiet conversations that plagued the beginning of Borgore’s set were replaced by ecstatic screams and the unified bouncing of the crowd. He finished with his biggest hits, “Nympho” and “Decisions,” both of which were met with the approving squeals of the audience. As any opening act should do, Borgore made the crowd rowdy and ready for the night’s real draw.

Aoki came out to thundering applause as huge letters spelling out AO-K-I rose up from the bottom of the stage in a spectacle filled with confetti and smoke. Behind Aoki was a large

Steve Aoki, EDM legend, performed at the House of Blues Wednesday with DJ Borgore. His new Aokify America tour will continue across the country and end Nov. 23 in Vancouver.

LED screen displaying trippy visuals plastered with the name of Aoki’s record label, Dim Mak. But, this rousing beginning of the show was the sole highlight of Aoki’s performance.

Aoki began by playing music from his newer releases, including his collaboration with Afrojack, “Afroki,” and his two alliances with Flux Pavilion and Knife Party, “Get Me Out of Here,” and “Piledriver.” These lesser-known segments left the crowd strangely lifeless. The once-vigorous crowd began swaying and shuffling

sluggishly, and it was not until Aoki played his smash hit “Ladi Dadi” that the crowd became reinvigorated. The show stayed like this for the remainder of Aoki’s set. Each time Aoki played a hit the crowd would go insane before quickly calming down again.

By the midway point of Aoki’s 90-minute set, the light show, which should have been breathtaking, became dull. The giant LED letters played whatever was on the screen behind them, and they never seemed

to be as innovative as they could have been. The light show was partially salvaged, however, by the mid-set entrance of two giant glowing robots.

They walked on stage and danced around while bathed in eerie neon green lights. But just as things started looking up, the robots disappeared and, curiously, never returned. Additionally, after every few songs, confetti would fly out of two enormous cannons at either side of the stage. As was the case with most elements of the show, it became unexciting and

unsurprising quickly.

It’s hard to blame Aoki for the listlessness of his show. He himself seemed to have done everything right. He pelted the crowd with cake (an Aoki trademark). He popped bottles of champagne over everyone. He sent audience members surfing over the crowd on giant rafts, which was a life-changing spectacle for the nine people on board, but a bore for the rest of the crowd. At one point, Aoki even brought out rapper Waka Flocka Flame for a song — however, he couldn’t be heard over Aoki’s wailing beats. On paper, this should have been the perfect rave. The lightshow should have been cool, the music should have been rocking, the antics should have had the crowd ecstatic, and it was Halloween for God’s sake: Everyone was wearing a costume. It was the perfect storm, and yet it fell flat.

There is no one thing to blame.

Aoki is an extremely talented DJ, and everyone should try to see him at least once. This is in no way a reflection of Aoki, but something was certainly missing this Halloween.

Maybe it was a lack of spirit from the audience, or House of Blues’ oppressive limitations. Whatever it was, Aokify America was not as much fun as it could or should have been. It was in no way a bad show — it was definitely fun. But it wasn’t the legendary rave that it set out to be, and the one everyone had expected. And with expectations so high, it is hard not be disappointed.

Of Montreal creates ‘paradise for the weirdo’ for Halloween

“

It’s time to welcome to the stage the only man born of penis, not vagina,” Of Montreal’s luchador MC wailed before the crowd at The Middle East. A bizarre introduction for a bizarre show — only what one could expect from the king of modern psychedelia.

Based on the evidence presented at the Of Montreal show on Oct. 26, I am fully convinced that band kingpin Kevin Barnes attempted to induce a mild psychosis on the crowd that Saturday night, and just in time for Halloween.

Georgia-based band Of Montreal has always been recognized as a peculiar group — each of the band’s albums involves long-winded lyrics about things like BDSM, with accompanying upbeat, funky indie rock riffs. But Barnes outdid himself for Of Montreal’s fall tour.

When opening act Surface to the Air Missive graced the stage in their ironically frumpy sweaters, the bandmembers humbly announced that they were “going to play some music” before diving right in. From one indie-rock jam sequence to a Thin Lizzie cover, Surface to the Air Missive performed much like students — though talented they appeared more interested in showing off each members’ skills than developing a distinct sound.

The costume-adorned Of Montreal strolled onstage and launched

Brooke Jackson-Glidden MUSE Editor

right into “Triumph of Disintegration,” the beachy-meets-’60s rock hit from the band’s newest album, Lousy with Sylvianbriar. Breaking the hipster rock stereotype of a humorless crowd, the audience immediately began grooving to the R&B “ooh-oohs,” swaying to the anthemlike chorus and squealing when the masked, stilted giants in white robes trooped onto the stage and held up two white disks, catching the trippy prints projected from the light booth.

Before the audience could even question the oddity of these two white visitors, Barnes turned up the ‘weird’ of his show with more strange characters and more strange projections.

After playing the campy “She Ain’t Speaking Now,” another highlight of Sylvianbriar, the band moved on to a funky favorite from 2010’s False Priest, “You Do Mutilate,” with samples from Parliament, moments of ghoulish spoken word and the return of the white ghosts. Of Montreal quickly switched genres with “Belle Glade Missionaries,” a mild-mannered rockabilly song about religious manipulation, before reintroducing the crowd to the sexually charged 2008 album, Skeletal Lamping, in full-powered falsetto.

“We can do it soft core if you want, but you should know I take it both ways,” Barnes warned the audience. His warning came as no surprise, and the audience erupted into

squeals that resembled those of the man interpretive dancing onstage in a nude bodysuit and a pig mask.

A refreshing moment for anyone unprepared for the trippiness of an Of Montreal show came when the band then played the most iconic song of their career: the bubbly “Wraith Pinned to the Mist.” The audience got to pretend they “didn’t exist” for a blissful four minutes before Barnes, accompanied by two human-sized jellyfish, introduced his “Aluminum Crown,” a single only played live twice before the show at The Middle East. Barnes then promptly killed the mood with a lethargic, Sylvia Plathinspired “Colossus.”

“Your mother hung herself in the National Theater when she was four months pregnant with your sister who would have been 13 years old today/ Does that make you feel any less alone in the world?” So much for bubbly.

Barnes then let female vocalist Rebecca Cash take the spotlight for her mournful ballad “Raindrop in my Skull,” which fell flat. Cash’s voice is too breathy, too forgettable, and it easily disappeared into the Of Montreal ether.

After a revival of the crowd with the helpfully light, upbeat and almost catchy rock of “Coquet Coquette,” Of Montreal brought the sexy discofunk of Skeletal Lamping back for the three-song arc of the show, be-

ginning with the theatrical “And I’ve Seen a Bloody Shadow.”

The two ghosts returned with a large mirror and a woman whose face was covered in a golden scarf.

Barnes removed the woman’s scarf and the two stared into the mirror longingly as he sang, “How can I function when there’s no more Apollonian beauty to behold?” Perhaps a little much, but it would not be Of Montreal otherwise.

Of Montreal then brought sexy back with its “Plastis Wafers,” giving a straight ‘70s disco vibe and uncomfortably direct lyrics. Barnes stroked the face of audience members, making their “whole bodies blush” the way he promised them he would.

Of Montreal then broke it down for one of its most soulful numbers, “St. Exquisite’s Confessions.” It was the last break the audience got before the band ended the show with two of its biggest hits.

During the cool, electro-chic “Oslo in the Summertime,” Barnes ran off stage and re-emerged in a white sheet. After covering the white ghosts and a man dressed in male bondage with sheets of cellophane, Barnes stood on the back of the black bodysuited man, who had gotten on all fours, as his tall ghostly friends stood on either side. They waved the sheets of cellophane, and suddenly Barnes became a psychedelic butterfly. The band followed “Oslo” with

the happy-go-lucky “Hemidalsgate like a Promethean Curse,” an energetic celebration of “chemicals.”

Spurting feathers into the crowd, the band left the stage for a brief period of time, until the friendly luchador rejoined the cheering crowd.

“I want you to lick everyone in the audience!” he cried with glee.

“No… Don’t lick…” And just like that, Of Montreal was back with an encore, complete with colorful humans in lizard masks and bodysuits surfing the crowd.

“I want to try a communal thing,” Barnes said. He had the audience sing notes until the members of the crowd, one by one, realized what they were singing. The staggered screams from the audience faded into “Gronlandic Exit,” the hit of 2007’s Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? The show ended with another album favorite, “She’s a Rejector.”

Of Montreal is a psychotic band, abruptly jumping from genre to genre with highbrow lyrics in one song and beautifully simplistic lyrics in the next. One song seeps with implied commentary and the next stings with unexpected candor. Kevin Barnes is a hipster’s answer to glam rock, a queer David Byrne, elusive of genre yet assured in sound. Of Montreal creates a paradise for the weirdo, and this Halloween show is no exception. It just felt more appropriate than usual.

SNL: Diversity to come

The opening sketch of Saturday Night Live this weekend tackled the topic of their lack of diversity. When exploring such a topic, one would assume Lorne Michaels, the executive producer of the show, or someone in public relations could have handled discussing SNL’s lack of diversity. Instead, they opened the door to the cast to laugh about it.

Guest-host Kerry Washington, Jay Pharoah and Taran Killam openly joked about how Washington was the only black woman on the set who could play Michelle Obama, Oprah and Beyoncé.

In the skit Washington entered the Oval Office as Michelle Obama, but about a minute in, Killam insinuates that she needs to leave the set so that Oprah could enter. While breaking the fourth wall, Washington expressed how frustrated she was with the costume change.

Then a narrator reads, “The producers at Saturday Night Live would like to apologize to Kerry Washington for the number of black women she will be asked to play.”

The narrator continues speaking, directly addressing how there has never been a black woman on the SNL cast. Although curt, the producers, writers and comedians let the audience know they are fully aware of the recent press attention about the diversity of the SNL cast. It was unexpected that the SNL cast and producers were not afraid to make fun of themselves.

Asking Kerry Washington to host during this sort of commentary is brilliant. Despite how intense the discourse of race relations and inclusion is, Washington helped bring up the topic gently yet bluntly.

Washington is so celebrated because she has transcended multiple stereotypes. Her role on Scandal is so strong and different compared to the roles black women are typically type casted to play. She defies stereotypes on her show and off the screen, so having such an influential actor bring up the discussion was tactful genius.

But here’s the thing. When is the last time an Asian person landed a contract with SNL? Lorne Michaels made explicitly clear he is willing to change the demographics around on the cast, but he has not met someone “ready” for a stint on SNL. In a time where white comedians like Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis dominate comedy, diversity suffers. SNL is catering to the audience that loves Tina Fey and Seth Meyers. Producers are not purposefully discriminating. They’re just making sure the best and funniest join the cast, not just someone who can play Jennifer Hudson without make-up or going in drag. But they have to explore more of the United States and communities they haven’t reached out to before.

The right woman is already out there. They just have to find her.

It’s not Halloween ... It’s Halloweek

The Urban Park Ranger

Watch and learn Jennifer Ruth “Please make sure you have read the safety card for this flight. As we come through the cabin to preform our final safety checks, please make sure your seatbelt is fastened,” I heard the flight attendant say in an enthusiastic tone.

I’m always marveled about how calm and collected they are. Here they are, telling us how to access our life-dependent information and all everyone seems to be doing is reading the complimentary SkyMall catalog that’s tucked right behind the safety card.

I decided to follow the trend and distract myself with the SkyMall catalog as we prepared for takeoff. It really is everyone’s inflight guilty pleasure whether they’d like to admit it or not. You could purchase a replica of Hermione’s wand and transform into an angsty yet loveable know-it-all. You could even buy a hat with a beard attachment on it because we all know that the Red Sox made #GetBeard become something particularly desirable. SkyMall offers every useless invention that has no real application in our daily life, but also it’s that time you get to pretend what you would do with each trivial object.

However, what stuck out to me wasn’t extraordinarily useless, it was something that was your every day household object. I quickly opened to the first page and took a deep breath. Before I knew it, I was looking at heaven. I saw the sky opening up, welcoming me with open arms. There it was on the first page of the magazine: a Samsung Ultra Slim 46-inch LED TV. With its sleek composure, it begged the attention of any avid television-watcher.

It didn’t even seem like I was looking at a picture of a television. The borders of the screen and monitor stand itself were so thin that they were almost invisible. The only blatantly visible part of this devise was the strategically placed yellow tulips on the screen.

These tulips had a pristine, relaxed composure, like they were gently tucked away from their nap, kissed by the cool drops of the morning rain. Nonetheless, I could feel their aura poisoning my thoughts with their devilish advertising scheme. The deep yellow of the flowers made my mind take a trip down memory lane and suddenly my 8-year-old self was in Provence in southwestern France, looking up at golden sunflowers towering over me.

Not only was I surrounded by nature, but I was lovingly encased by it. Wherever I looked, I felt like I was part of a Paul Cezanne painting, forever immobilized in the sweeping landscapes of Provence. Flowers are something that appeal to everyone’s emotions for their supernatural ability to

lighten the mood of any occasion. They’re used for apologies, romantic sentiments, sympathy, and thoughtful gestures.

It’s quite clear how a simple flower can change our moods. So it’s quite clear why these tulips are on the television screen.

Odds are, I wasn’t going to use this majestic piece of machinery to watch motionless yellow tulips. I can assure you that watching the Bruins and Pretty Little Liars would be the sole usage of this television.

So why did the yellow flowers make me remotely consider purchasing this $1,399.99 item?

This television projection of tulips appeals to our false hopes of manufacturing.

Using the environment as means to increase profits and consumer interest in their product is just senseless. Televisions have no symbiotic relationship with the environment whatsoever. In fact, they really just add to the detriment of it.

Of course, it seems that everything we do impacts the future of our climate in some shape or form, so it pays to do some research. Samsung’s booming technology realm has allowed for vast improvements, especially with the LED television that I saw in the SkyMall catalog.

According to Samsung, they have decreased their CO2 emissions by 15 percent by encompassing high efficiency LED and extra transparent polarizing film. They have also taken steps to ensure that all concentrations of pollutants are legally compliant.

Samsung has taken charge of another environment issue by reducing the water pollutant concentrations by 30 percent in their Gwangiu Plant in Korea.

Whether we like it or not, televisions have become a necessity in our society.

The best environmental option is to simply end the manufacturing of these products, but it’s not that feasible at all. And it would be cruel to deprive a college student of the easy-access to all of the Bruins and Red Sox games.

So if I ever started a television company, I’d be honest with my customers. I don’t want people to say, “Wow, look at the pretty flowers,” when they see my advertisement and just continue on their merry way.

I want them to say, “Wow, look at Mike Napoli’s beard. We need to get this television so we can watch the World Series tonight.”

You don’t need to deceive people in order for them to buy their product; you need to appeal to their interests. And in Massachusetts, it’s not that difficult.

BU beats ‘tough’ Lafayette team Quinn’s family proud of success Field Hockey: From Page 8

never had possession of the ball, which allowed Martineau to knock the ball in for the first goal of the game in the 26th minute.

Following the BU goal, Lafayette looked to make a comeback but struggled to move the ball into Terrier territory. The Leopards got one shot off before the end of the half but were once again denied by junior goalkeeper Valentina Cerda Eimbcke.

The Terriers had a chance to pad their lead at the end of the half, with a corner as time expired, but sophomore backer Rachel Coll’s shot was blocked, sending the game to halftime with BU leading 1-0.

The second half of action was similar to the first half, as Lafayette earned several penalty attack corners, but all three were stopped by Eimbcke. After seeing this Leopard attack for 12 minutes, BU coach Sally Starr called a timeout to straighten things out with her team. “[Lafayette] went after each other really hard, we were playing just a little soft and a little tentative at times today I felt,” Starr

said. “I felt we were letting [Lafayette] set the pace a little bit, so it was just talking about control, get to the 50–50 balls, I think we were starting to dribble a little too much, so I just tried to mix it up a bit.”

After the timeout the Terriers began to control the ball more and did not have to rely on Eimbcke to make save after save.

Eventually, the field opened up enough for Laurito to speed into the attack circle and fire off a backhanded slapshot, earning her eighth goal of the season, giving BU a 2-0 lead.

From there, BU would hold onto its two-goal lead and defeat the Leopards. The victory gave the Terriers a boost as they prepare to take on Bucknell University in the Patriot League Tournament semifinal game next weekend.

Starr said she was pleased with the victory, given the toughness of Lafayette.

“Lafayette played us really tough today,” Starr said. “It was not an easy victory and I’m really happy for our seniors to get this victory today, and I think everybody worked hard and it was a good win.”

Sperry makes 28 saves in shutout Women’s Hockey: From Page 8

“She worked hard for it,” Warren said of Bayersdorfer’s goal. “She’s been working hard three years for that goal ... she deserves all the glory for that one.”

Senior forward Meghan Riggs collected her first assist of the season, and freshman forward Natalie Flynn earned her first career point on the play, giving every BU skater who has received playing time this season at least one point.

Durocher said he was impressed by the play of the fourth line in Saturday’s game.

“Their confidence is growing,” Durocher said of the fourth line. “I think the staff’s confidence is growing, and to have those people ready when there’s injuries and/or to be able to play four lines in these back-to-back weekend games goes a long ways.”

Warren added to her terrific week by speeding past a Vermont defender just over a minute into the third period and backhanded the puck past Litchfield.

“When it was 2-0 and Louise Warren got that goal, that maybe not sealed the game completely but definitely put us in the right direction,” Durocher said. “That came off of two, three or four kids fighting by our crease, keeping the puck out of the net and getting up ice, and she made an individual play with her speed and her

strength to get the goal.”

Just 3:03 later, Warren netted her second of the game to put BU up 4-0 — and, for the first time in her career, she secured back-to-back multi-goal games. It was her fifth goal in three games and her seventh of the season.

Sophomore defenseman Diana Bennett joined the scoring party 6:50 into the third period, backhanding a puck over Litchfield to push the score to 5-0.

With the game more than out of reach, Tutino added one final goal for BU with 3:43 remaining in the game.

Sperry had a gem of a performance in net, making 28 saves en route to her 12th career shutout and her first of the season, giving the Terriers their biggest margin of victory since Feb. 20.

Durocher said he was pleased with the team’s offensive output.

“You don’t expect to get four, five and six goals all the time,” Durocher said. “Tonight was a nice night for that.”

Warren echoed Durocher’s sentiments about the game, particularly the play late in the game.

“We build, we get better and better as the game goes on. It just shows the character of our team,” Warren said. “Our legs were a little shaky at the beginning but we just fought and got better and better. I’m proud of everyone.”

Quinn: From Page 8

were Quinn’s younger brother, Brian, and younger sister, Suzy, who spent countless hours in the Schneider Arena seats with their parents, Janice and William.

It was Suzy’s first time at Providence’s arena since Quinn was there as a BU assistant coach in 2009. Brian had not been back in more than a quarter-century — since Quinn’s teenage years.

“It’s awesome,” Janice said. “It’s like he came full circle.”

Count Quinn’s mother, Janice, was among those happy to see her oldest son back where it all started. She lives so close to Providence College that she compared it to driving down Commonwealth Avenue.

“After all of the traveling and all of the coaching and all of the places he’s been — and we always love going — it’s really nice to come here. I’m going to be home in 10 minutes,” said a smiling Janice, who attends most BU home games. “All of the family can come.

“As he’s always said, [being BU’s coach was] his dream. And it was our dream ever since he came to BU.” Janice said she brought Quinn to Schneider for everything from early morning practices to weekend games to summer programs for as long as she can remember.

She was in the process of explaining the time commitment — the very intense one, she noted — of youth hockey when she was interrupted.

“Bye, Mom,” Quinn said, leaning over for a requisite kiss on the cheek. “Take care of that back, will ya?”

And with that, he was off, gone to join his team on the bus to go back to Boston, while his family stuck around for a few more minutes to beam about the man they all came out to see.

Janice and Brian recalled one game in particular, a 1981 national championship game when a 15-year-old Quinn played for the Johnston Bantam All-Stars. New York Islanders coach Jack Capuano was also on that team. David Emma, a future Hobey Baker Award winner at Boston College who had a brief stint with the Bruins, played against them. “[Quinn] was a defenseman — but he rushed the puck a lot,” Janice recalled. “We always used to see him when he got the puck, vroom, off he went.”

“He worked really, really hard to get where he is, and he deserves to be where he is,” Brian said. “I just wish my dad was here to see it.”

William, who passed away in 2010, was Quinn’s “biggest fan,” as Brian put it, and was instrumental in the family’s love of hockey. It was William who brought his sons to the 1978 Frozen Four at the thenProvidence Civic Center, blocks from Providence College, when BU beat Boston College to come away with the national title that weekend, a turning point in a young Quinn’s fandom.

William was not there for Quinn’s return to the Schneider bench, but he was very much on the minds of the rest of the family.

“He’s here in spirit, I believe,” Brian said, later bringing the conversation back to his brother. “I’m just very proud.”

nity and tied the game entering the third frame. The goal was the first power-play goal BU allowed in its previous 11 penalty kills.

Friar junior Ross Mauermann took the game into his own hands as the third period began, as he drove the puck wide before cutting it to the front of the goal and pushing it through Maguire’s five-hole. It was Mauermann’s team-leading sixth goal of the season and his second goal in as many nights against the Terriers.

BU had a chance to get back in the game when Mauermann was sent to the box for cross-checking. However, despite some crisp passing with the man advantage, BU could not get any clear shots at Gillies and the score remained in Providence’s favor.

Mauermann put the game away with Maguire pulled in the final minute, scoring

his second goal of the game to put the Friars ahead 3-1 with 46.6 seconds remaining.

Third periods in opposing arenas have been particularly tough for the Terriers, who have not scored a goal while allowing seven in the final frames of their three road games on the year.

The Terriers had a chance to remain unbeaten in Hockey East play entering the third period Saturday. Instead, the Terriers split the season series with a Friars team that figures to be among the top of the league come the end of the end of the season.

“When you come into this weekend like this, a team as good as Providence and the start that they’ve had, to play five periods and be in a position to get six points is a good position to get in,” Quinn said. “But we have to learn to win games like this, and unfortunately we weren’t able to get it done tonight.”

it to the slot to Warren. The captain weaved around the defense and backhanded the puck into the net for the goal and the 2-1 lead.

The second goal in the period came from Warren in the final seconds of the game, as she added an empty-net goal to seal the win by a 3-1 margin.

The next day against Vermont, the Terriers held a 2-0 advantage going into the third period. With another dominating performance in the last period, the Terriers put the game out of reach with four goals in the frame.

The feeding frenzy came just 1:13 into the period. Senior forward Taylor Holze threw the puck out of the defensive zone towards the Vermont blue line. Warren raced with a Vermont defender and won the puck. She then deked around the coverage and backhanded the puck past goaltender Madison Litchfield for the goal.

Just more than three minutes later it was Warren doing the scoring again for the Terriers. She took the puck from the Vermont defense along the left wing boards and took

the shot near the left circle to beat Litchfield for her second-straight multi-goal game.

“The team has really come together the past few games,” Warren said. “The whole team contributed, I was just the lucky one that sunk two of them.”

The Terriers continued the attack in the third and added two more goals from people not named Louise Warren. Sophomore defenseman Diana Bennett notched her first collegiate goal at the 6:50 mark when she grabbed the puck in the slot and backhanded a shot past Litchfield for the third goal of the period.

With just over three minutes to play in the game, the Terriers finished their scoring foray when junior forward Kayla Tutino ripped a forehand wrist shot past goaltender Roxanne Douville who had replaced Litchfield, giving the Terriers the final goal in a 6-0 win. “[Saturday] the stars really lined up,” Durocher said. “Those are the things we hope for, that we can keep the team chemistry and get more people involved. We had a super game and really a good weekend and a consistent effort.”

usually impressive against BU. The Bison ranked last in the Patriot League prior to this match with an average of 1.62 goals allowed per game.

Freshman forward Erica Kosienski finally capitalized on the Terriers’ superior play in the 52nd minute. Senior midfielder Megan McGoldrick slipped the ball into the path of Kosienksi’s run before the freshman fired a shot across the face of the goal and into the back of the net, giving BU a 1-0 advantage.

Kosienski brought inspired play again in the 57th minute, when she took the ball down the side of the 18-yard-box and crossed it in towards junior forward Taylor Krebs, who lobbed her shot just above the crossbar.

BU showed on several occasions that it was not satisfied with the one-goal lead, as in the 70th minute the Terriers pressured the Bison back into their own box. Sophomore forward Jenna Fisher’s strike, however, was saved by the outstretched Ratner.

The game grew tense as it neared its end, as in the 73rd minute Bucknell mid-

fielder Evelyn Nicinski received a yellow card from the referee after a violent tackle to stop a Terrier counterattack.

The Bison earned their only two corners in the 77th and 80th minutes, respectively.

BU’s defense stood strong though, as the Terriers posted another shutout. It marked the 13th shutout of the season for BU and its fourth in a row.

The game marked the end of the regular season for both schools, but it will not be the final match for the two. BU and Bucknell clinched spots in the Patriot League Tournament.

The Terriers claimed the second seed for the Patriot League playoffs, which gives them a bye for the first round of the tournament. BU’s next game will be in the semifinals Nov. 8 at Navy in Annapolis, Md. Although she had her doubts about the Terriers’ performance against the Bison, Feldman said she was optimistic when discussing the immediate future.

“We’re co-champions of the Patriot League,” Feldman said. “We’re relatively healthy going into the tournament, and now it’s about moving on into a new chapter in the postseason. We’re ready to roll.”

W. Soccer beats Men’s hockey falls to No. 3 Providence Despite Terrier Bucknell, 1-0 loss, Quinn has

The Boston University women’s soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to 10 games Saturday afternoon, defeating Bucknell University 1-0. With the victory as the team now prepares for the Patriot League Tournament.

With this weekend’s win over the Bison (7-9-1, 4-4-1 Patriot League), the Terriers (13-3-3, 8-1-0 Patriot League) earned the title of Patriot League regular season co-champions, along with the U.S. Naval Academy.

The game lacked much action through the first half hour, at which point the Terriers had four shots, but had yet to test Bucknell goalkeeper Jessica Ratner.

Senior goalkeeper Andrea Green was key for the Terrier defense as she left her net multiple times to disrupt Bison possessions.

“We were sluggish [in the first half]” said BU coach Nancy Feldman. “We defended pretty well, but even that was a hair short of full determination and focus.

There was too slow of a tempo.

“Part of it was Bucknell, they’re a very good team. It wasn’t our best performance, and we’re certainly going to have to play better to win the conference tournament.”

Senior midfielders Emma Clark and Kylie Strom played big roles distributing the ball in the midfield throughout the first half. However, the Bison defense prevented any serious threat from the Terriers.

Bucknell’s defense was un-

The road has not been friendly to the No. 18 Boston University men’s hockey team, which lost its third consecutive game away from Agganis Arena 3-1 to No. 3 Providence College Saturday night at Schneider Arena.

After coming back in grand fashion at home Friday night, BU fell behind on a goal late in the contest and could not put another one past Providence goaltender Jon Gillies as it returned to a .500 record on the season.

The two teams were about as evenly matched as could be in the first period, as BU (4-4, 2-1 Hockey East) and Providence (5-1-1, 1-1 Hockey East) traded scoring chances with nothing getting by Gillies and sophomore goaltender Sean Maguire. Maguire made 12 saves for the Terriers while Gillies stopped nine shots for Providence in a frame that only included one penalty.

“Obviously, when you lose the first game you come out with a little bit more desperation and energy,” said BU coach David Quinn.

“I thought we matched it early.”

The Terriers finally jumped out to a lead a little more than 15 minutes into the second period after Providence captain Steven Shamanski took an interference penalty along the Terriers’ bench.

BU freshman forward Nick Roberto picked up a loose puck at a sharp angle to Gillies’ right and hesitated, drawing defenders out of position before feeding wideopen sophomore defenseman Ahti Oksanen at the top of the slot.

the final three minutes of the second period.

“Against a team like that you can’t take penalties like that,” Quinn said. “That’s the disappointing part.”

The Friars did not need that long though, as forward Derek Army scooped up a rebound six seconds into the 5-on-3 opportu-

After the Boston University men’s hockey team’s 3-1 loss to No. 3 Providence College on Saturday, BU coach David Quinn was less than pleased. Poorly timed penalties again did his team in, as BU missed a chance to sweep a home-and-home series against one of the top-ranked squads in the country, and the No. 18 Terriers remained winless on the road.

But about a minute and half later, Quinn had more important business to tend to.

He walked through the bowels of the Friars’ home rink and up a small set of metal stairs to hug four children, each clamoring for his attention. Quinn’s smile was as wide as it was the day he was named BU’s head coach.

Quinn’s four cousins — all 11 years old or younger — were part of a contingent 16 people strong who came to see him at Schneider Arena. Quinn, a Cranston, R.I. native, grew up 10 minutes from Schneider, where he also played plenty in his youth.

Saturday was his first time there since being named BU’s head coach in March.

“I have a lot of memories and a lot of great memories there,” Quinn said prior to the weekend series. “It will be special. It will be pretty cool to go down there and play against the Friars and be the head coach of BU. That will be pretty neat.”

and team-leading ninth point of the season.

While it took a long time for the Terriers to open the scoring, it did not take long for the Friars to answer with a power-play goal of their own. Sophomore forwards Sam Kurker and Mike Moran ended up in the sin bin for tripping and cross-checking, respectively, giving Providence a 23-second 5-on-3 advantage in

With another win in the Patriot League, the Boston University field hockey team ended its regular season with a 2-0 victory against Lafayette College.

Despite earning a corner six minutes into the game, it was a slow start for the Terriers (12-6, 5-1 Patriot League) as they began to let the Leopards (6-11, 3-3 Patriot League) dictate the way the game was played early on. Midway through the first half, Lafayette outshot BU 4-1 with four penalty corners.

On one of the first chances of the game for the Terriers, sophomore midfielder Sofi Laurito took a shot on net but was denied

by Leopard goalkeeper Jessica Deutsch. However, freshman forward Sara Martineau trailed the ball and fell into Deutsch, who

It was a weekend of firsts for the Boston University women’s hockey team.

Fueled by a huge offensive performance from senior captain Louise Warren and goals from a few first-time scorers, the Terriers (6-1-1, 3-0-0 Hockey East) contained the University of New Hampshire on the road Friday evening with a 3-1 victory before crushing the University of Vermont by a margin of 6-0 at home Saturday afternoon.

The Wildcats (5-4-1, 1-2-1 Hockey East) got on the scoreboard first, as forward Haley Breedlove shot through a swarm of BU players and past senior goaltender Kerrin Sperry to put UNH up 1-0.

Sperry recovered, however, and made 11 saves in the rest of the first period.

Sophomore forward Sarah Lefort scored the equalizer at the 12:12 mark in the second period, tapping it in from the right post on a pass from junior forward Kayla

Tutino.

With the score knotted up at one apiece, senior captain Louise Warren broke through 14:32 into the third period with a deke around a UNH defenseman and a backhand shot past Wildcat goaltender Vilma Vaattovaara.

After netting the game-winner, Warren sealed the final score with an empty-net goal with 15 seconds left in the game.

Back home at Walter Brown Arena against Vermont (3-5-1, 1-1-0 Hockey East) the next afternoon, the game was much less of a nail-biter.

Sophomore forward Dakota Woodworth put BU on the board early after picking up a loose puck and beating Vermont goalie Madison Litchfield to make the score 1-0.

At the 12:19 mark of the second period, junior forward Sarah Bayersdorfer buried a rebound for her first career goal.

“I may have blacked out at the end there,” Bayersdorfer said jokingly about the goal.

With the help of strong play in the third period, including six third-period goals over two days, the Boston University women’s hockey team defeated both the University of New Hampshire and the University of Vermont this past weekend.

Coming into this weekend, BU (6-1-1, 3-0 Hockey East) had won two straight games over Yale University and Northeastern University. As the weekend concluded, the Terriers won two more, giving them a season-high four-game win streak.

“I have to commend how hard these kids work,” said BU coach Brian Durocher on his team’s play in the third period. “The longer they keep people from scoring against us, the more adrenaline, momentum that we get.”

The Terriers have been a team the past few years that has been used to success. The team has made the Frozen Four two out of the last three seasons. During last season’s runner-up finish, the Ter-

riers dominated the score sheet, scoring 3.8 goals per game, including 51 in the third period of play.

This year BU has not had that same explosive offense, scoring nearly one less goal per contest at 3.0. The Terriers have totaled 24 goals this season, good enough for fourth in the Hockey East.

Although the team has not scored as much as it has in years past, it has scored when it has counted the most, as nine of the 24 goals this season have come in the final period.

This past Friday night in Durham, N.H., the Terriers entered the third period tied at one goal apiece with UNH (5-3-1, 1-11 Hockey East). At 14:32 in the period, the Terriers finally took their first lead of the game, thanks to the play of freshman forward Maddie Elia and senior captain Louise Warren.

Elia charged up the ice to grab the puck after BU had flipped it into the offensive zone. Elia took the puck from the corner and fired
