Former Gov. Haley Barbour

PHILLIP WALLER | The Daily Mississippian

The University of Mississippi’s Center for Manufacturing Excellence was dedicated to former Gov. Haley Barbour Thursday, Oct. 18.

Barbour conceived the idea for the Center for Manufacturing Excellence (CME) in collaborative efforts with the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL).

“This day is a significant day for all of us gathered here. It gives us an opportunity to honor our Ole Miss alumnus,” Ole Miss Chancellor Dan Jones said.

Jones continued by praising Barbour.

“We honor him for his unmatched contributions to our state, nation and world,” Jones said.

The CME was established in July 2008 with the goal of providing educational opportunities to Ole Miss undergraduates in the fields of accountancy, engineering and manufacturing.

In the next few years, the CME will consist of 200 undergraduates with about 50 students graduating each year, according to Morris H. Stocks, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs.

“The center is developing students for diverse career paths,” Stock said. “This program transforms lives for the betterment of the state of Mississippi,” Junior engineering major Colin Wattigney spoke to the crowd to express her gratitude.

“My classmates and I are honored to have the opportunity to shape this program,”

said the member of the CME student advisory board.

Barbour spoke to the audience at the end of the ceremony.

“I am more grateful than I can express and very happy,” Barbour said. “Congratulations to Colin and the young students who are among the first here (CME). Know that we expect a lot from you.”

Chancellor Jones expressed his gratitude to the former governor.

“We are most grateful to you for letting us associate your name with The University of Mississippi,” Jones said.

Barbour has high expectations for the future of manufacturing in Mississippi.

“We are doing some very interesting manufacturing in the state,” he said. “Mississippi’s best years are in front of us.”

C Spire launches 4G LTE in Oxford Football schedule announced Mississippi-based C Spire Wireless debuted 4G data services in the Oxford area on Oct. 5.

BY MORGAN TELLER meteller@go.olemiss.edu

Two weeks ago, C Spire Wireless rolled out 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) data services in 31 Mississippi markets, including Oxford.

The company’s launch allows C Spire customers in the Oxford-University community to enjoy signal strength and speed up to 10 times faster than the previous 3G technology.

C Spire customers must own 4G-ready devices to utilize the new service, however. The 4G LTE service is compatible with a number of devices offered on C Spire’s network, such as the Apple iPhone, the Motorola Photon Q and the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Dave Miller, media relations manager for C Spire Wireless, said he is pleased with the results of the high-speed networking in Oxford.

“Everyone was shocked at the capabilities of the mobile devices in the Grove over the weekend,” Miller said. “The Internet speeds were remarkable, and calls and texts were going through instantly.”

Students on The University of Mississippi campus have also noticed an improvement in wireless coverage.

“I just recently switched to (C Spire) and I was the only one in my dorm who seemed to have service and Internet connection on my iPhone,” freshman exercise science major Riley Griffith said.

“Also, after I downloaded the newest software (iOS 6) to my iPhone, I noticed even better coverage and faster network connection.”

Oxford city officials are also happy to see an improvement in wireless services offered in the area.

“Introduction of C Spire’s 4G LTE mobile broadband services is good news for the city of Oxford and Lafayette County,” said Jeff Busby, president of the Lafayette County Board of Supervisors. “C Spire is an important and valued corporate partner, and we appreciate their continued investment in our region and in our people.”

I have started reading Joyce the last couple weeks and started to notice subtle changes in how I wrote down ideas and carried on conversations with other people. These changes grew less and less subtle, so I visited a retired professor and drinking buddy to talk about how an author can shift our point of view. I walked in through his office and noticed shelves of books written by and on Edgar Allan Poe. Sometimes he goes out of town to give or listen to lectures on Poe. We tease each other about what the other one does.

sat down; he was mixing two Manhattans over the sink. He was recently out of town for a lecture and began telling me about Montresor’s descent into the catacombs with Fortunato, and I began to think about how deep Edgar Allen Poe had sunk into my friend’s consciousness.

What I mean is: Sometimes I read a book, and the people and world around me begin to resemble characters and events from the book.

But it is hard for me to imagine being acquainted with one artist for more than 50 years.

When I tell stories to the professor, without fail, something or someone in them reminds him of four or five things or persons he can remember and tell stories about. If Poe’s plots and characters remind him of events and people from our world, I imagine he can draw a number of meaningful comparisons.

Perhaps the two worlds even begin to overlap. If we spend

One of Poe’s poems poses the question: “Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?” As if each perception were a wave within a wider stream of consciousness.

The professor asked about the usual — academics, work, romance. I told him I had an actual plan for the first two and then asked him what he thinks of romance. He told me the conception of the word love is related to the feeling of warmth, which reminded him of four or five characters who claimed to be “in love” when they were really “in heat.”

He asked how “the most recent polemic” was received,

I declared: “It is a battle to reason with someone whose reason has been tamed by a lion.”

I told him I plan to write something more substantial than newspaper columns in the future, and he told me that soon he will sit down and compile his memoirs. He teased that a polemicist like me will be taken out before I am able to finish such a work, while I teased that time will take him out before he is able to finish his. Death is not a morbid subject in such a house with Manhattans — we are alive for now and experiencing something worth writing about, two dreams being dreamed simultaneously.

The absent make a difference Teen pregnancy problems in the state

BY JAY NOGAMI jaynog11@gmail.com

The second presidential debate Tuesday night featured two candidates with remarkably similar ideals, nitpicking over taxes and practically nothing else.

While what President Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said might have had a large effect on the election, the lack of any other candidates makes an enormous difference, for the worse.

Without opening the debates to potentially viable third party candidates, the U.S. will make very little progress in creating a better tomorrow.

Other candidates? Yes, they do exist. But the Democratic and Republican parties are doing their best to make sure you don’t know that. Here’s how.

The Commission on Presidential Debates took over as the official sponsor of the debates in the late 1980s from the League of Women Voters. While initially claiming itself nonpartisan, it was evident from the beginning that the CPD was a bipartisan group. It was chaired by the then-current chairs of both the Democratic and Republican National Committees.

Essentially, the Democratic and Republican parties were angry that the League of Women Voters would not conform to their will, and even allowed third party candidates into the debates.

This bipartisan CPD has done everything in its power to prevent third party candidates from entering debates. It first established a subjective criteria to allow third party candidates into debates, and even then only allowed a third party candidate when both parties agreed upon it in 1992.

Once challenged by the government due to its unfair practices, it created an objective criteria for inclusion in debates. They made it essentially unobtainable

for third party candidates to be allowed into debates, with the standard being three times what is required for public funding of third parties in the U.S. The closed debates that we currently are stuck with do very little to help promote choice, or democracy. According to a 2011 Gallup poll, over 50 percent of Americans believe that a third party is needed in the U.S. because the current two parties do not represent their best interests.

In spite of this, the CPD is doing its best to maintain its power, which is given to it by the Democrats and Republicans.

I’m sure many of you fully support neither Obama nor Romney. And imagine how much more interesting the debates would be with third party candidates. Not only would a wider variety of opinions be given to the American public, but larger ideas will be introduced into the political spectrum, enacting change even if the minor candidate doesn’t win an election.

Many Americans are unhappy with both major political parties. Now is the time for us all to take action against the Democrats and Republicans desperately clinging to power.

Look to the third party candidates in the ballot in Mississippi.

From the Libertarian party is Gary Johnson, who bills himself as more economically conservative than Romney, and more socially liberal than Obama. From the Green Party is Jill Stein, who supports expanding education and health care to all citizens of the U.S., as well as stronger environmental regulations. Even if you end up voting for Obama or Romney because they most closely follow your ideals, be glad that you are acting in your own interests, and not those of political parties.

Growing up can be tough — during the teen years especially.

For many teenage girls in Mississippi, their formative years are even more difficult because they are rearing children themselves.

Mississippi has the highest teen pregnancy rate of any state, with 55 births per 1,000 teens aged 15-19.

This summer Mississippi implemented a new law requiring every school district to adopt abstinence or abstinence-plus education into its curriculum. The law was designed to address, and hopefully reduce, the number of teen pregnancies in the state.

Prior to the law, schools could completely omit sex education programs. Sadly, this law will likely have minimal effect on the pregnancy rates. Under the abstinenceonly program, which the majority of districts have chosen, instructors may

26556

bring up the topic of contraceptives but must include failure rates and cannot, under any circumstances, explain how they are used or even show what they look like.

As the title suggests, the instructors may also elect to strictly discuss only abstinence with no mention of other choices.

These limitations are a response to a negative view of sex education. Many in Mississippi, lawmakers included, believe that parents should teach sex education at home.

Many cite their religion’s belief that sex outside marriage is a sin as the reason sex education should not be taught, or that only abstinence should be taught in schools.

This summer the Oxford School District had a heated debate over which program to choose, ultimately opting for the more open abstinence-plus program. The arguments that were made echoed the sentiments felt

throughout the state.

While many would like for Mississippi teens to abstain, the cold, hard facts show that it is not happening, and an abstinence-only education is not effective in preventing teen pregnancies.

Mississippi children raising children themselves is one of the biggest handicaps to our state.

A teen mother is much less likely to graduate high school, attend college, obtain a decent job or become financially stable.

For the sake of our children and our state, Mississippi needs to change its attitude regarding sex education and sexual health.

The silence and stigma surrounding sex is hindering our state and our children from achieving their full potential.

Model UN prepares students for globalized world The University of Mississippi’s Model United Nations prepares students to communicate in a globalized world through mock debates, diplomacy conferences and research.

BY TAYLOR DELANDRO tjdeland@go.olemiss.edu

Ole Miss has something for everyone, even those who hope to become an ambassador to the United Nations or an international diplomat.

Model United Nations is a student organization at the university that focuses on teaching its members diplomacy by presenting the history of the United Nations and its functions.

Participants are coached through mock debates, attend diplomacy conferences and learn to conduct research and build futures for political careers.

Miguel Centellas, visiting professor of political science, is Model UN’s academic adviser and has worked with the organization for about a year.

Centellas said he feels that Model UN is important because it gives students an opportunity to be exposed to many aspects of the international culture of diplomacy.

“I think (the course) is impor-

city, download speeds average 8.0 Mbps (megabytes per second), while the average upload speed is 5.9 Mbps.

On the Ole Miss campus, the average download speed is 9.2 Mbps, and uploads clock at 5.3 Mbps.

Miller said that although the network has improved, C Spire

hopes to establish optimal performance within one year.

“Overall, when you take a blended rate assuming a 30 percent customer loading, which we don’t expect to see until next year, and factor in assumptions for 100 percent of the data sessions to be mobile — not stationary — the average download speed is 6.2 Mbps and the average upload speed is 4.5 Mbps for Oxford and the Ole Miss campus,” Miller said.

tant for students to understand and get exposure to international politics, international affairs and different things the international community is doing,” Centellas said. “I also think being exposed to how to do research in sort of real-world settings is important.”

Fifth-year senior linguistics major Cory Blout is Model UN’s president and first delegate, and he hopes students gain a working knowledge of international relations as members of Model UN. “Our goal for students is to take away a working knowledge of how the world itself works, how international politics are in play and how different countries can work together and communicate in world peace,” Blout said.

Every spring, Model UN travels to the National Model United Nations Conference in New York City.

Students take their assigned country’s political agenda and economic objectives into simulations where they meet with

other delegations as the United Nations.

“We have not received our country assignment, but we’re looking at being on the first, second and possibly fourth general assembly conditions of women; we’ve been on Security Council and different branches of the United Nations,” Blout said.

Centellas said he thinks a lot of students leave the Model United Nations conference surprised at how well prepared other students are.

“For me, it’s kind of a good thing (students) have that shock their sophomore and junior year,” Centellas said. “This gives (students) time to sort of figure out how to be on the level they have to be on.”

Model UN meets every Monday from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in the Croft Institute and is offered as a Z-grade course in addition to meeting as an organization.

Students are not required to enroll in the course to participate but are encouraged to consider taking the class if they intend to compete.

School of Pharmacy honors select faculty members Four faculty members at the Ole Miss School of Pharmacy received awards in August for their exceptional work in research and service for the university.

BY KAYLEIGH SKINNER kaskinne@go.olemiss.edu

Faculty members Michael Warren, Robert Doerksen, Rahul Khanna and Jordan Zjawiony were recognized

by The University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy during its annual fall faculty retreat for their individual contributions in research, innovation and service.

Warren, a clinical assistant professor of pharmacy practice, received the Faculty Service Award. Each year the award is given to a faculty member who shows dedication in providing assistance to others. Warren also serves as an academic adviser for pre-pharmacy students.

“Although I am the award recipient this year, I’m certainly not the only one who thinks that service is an important aspect of our profession,” Warren said. “I was just lucky enough to be selected this year.”

In addition to advising, Warren serves at the Student Health Center’s Travel Clinic, where he helps students who will be traveling abroad maintain their health. He said he hopes he is setting a good example of how valuable service opportunities are to help others.

“I’m very blessed in so many ways, and I just think it is my responsibility to give back, to help other individuals try to accomplish what I was able to accomplish when I was in school and after graduation,” Warren

said. “I just see that as my responsibility, and I get great internal value from getting the feeling that I am valued by other individuals and that I am actually helping them.”

Doerksen, associate professor of medicinal chemistry and pharmacology, was recognized for the Faculty Innovation Award for the inventive way in which he teaches his students to absorb information and stay interested in class. While teaching a medicinal chemistry class, Doerksen required his students to write reports on lectures, which he said they found very helpful for learning material.

“I know teaching is such an important part of being

a professor, so I was very pleased to get this sort of affirmation that my efforts to be a good teacher were somehow worthwhile,” he said. “I think students want to explore new opportunities and learn in different ways, but they feel there is some pressure to do well in school so they don’t want to take the time to do these other activities. If you just give them a very small motivation, then that can prove to be worthwhile.”

The School of Pharmacy honored Khanna with the New Investigator Award, his second after winning the same award from the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy in December

2011. This award provides him with grant money to work on a project of his choice. Although he is grateful for the monetary aspect, he said it is more important that the university recognized his work and that he could not have earned it without the support of his fellow faculty and students.

Khanna said the recognition adds credibility to the work he has done so far. He has already been published in several peer-reviewed journals.

“We are very fortunate to have Dr. Khanna as a faculty member in our department,” said Erin Holmes, assistant professor of pharmacy administration. “He is not only

a talented researcher, but also a passionate teacher and mentor of our pharmacy students and graduate students.”

Zjawiony, a professor of pharmacognosy, received the Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc. Research Award for his research on psychoactive plants and their effect on the central nervous system. He has written several peer-reviewed articles and has already secured funding from federal funding agencies.

“I am very pleased and honored to be recognized by my faculty colleagues,” Zjawiony said. “I hope that my further research on psychoactive natural products will lead to new drug candidates for depression and other central nervous disorders.”

Chair and professor of pharmacognosy Daneel Ferreira said Zjawiony proved himself to be deserving of the award, along with funding from the National Institutes of Health and other federal funding agencies.

“Dr. Zjawiony has been doing cutting-edge research for many years, especially in the area of psychoactive plant natural products,” Ferreira said. “He has published many good papers in top-tier journals, he’s an outstanding faculty member. As far as teaching of our graduate program is concerned, this highest reward of the School of Pharmacy is a just reward for his high-quality research outputs.”

Rebel volleyball looks to get back on track Last season, Ole Miss started Southeastern Conference play a horrific 1-9 before finishing the season winning six of its last 10 matches. This season, the Rebels, who currently 2-7 in the SEC play, look for a repeat performance.

PHOTOS BY TYLER JACKSON | The Daily Mississippian

Freshman Ty Laporte has 108 kills and 41 total blocks this season.

BY CAMAL PETRO cppetro@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss Lady Rebels (8-10, 2-7 Southeastern Conference) look to end a four-game losing streak this weekend at home when they take on Missouri (14-5, 6-3 SEC) and South Carolina (14-7, 2-7 SEC). When they met earlier this season, Ole Miss lost to Missouri 3-0 and defeated South Carolina 3-0.

Since the win against South Carolina on Sept. 28, Ole Miss has lost four straight to Kentucky, Arkansas, No. 11 Florida and Georgia.

“Out of those four matches, how many of them did we really get beat or how many of them we really didn’t take care

of the ball on our side of the net?” head coach Joe Getzin said. “When you can control your outcome, then we know we are still in it.”

Junior outside hitter Lisa Henning leads Missouri with 300 kills on the season, averaging an impressive 4.48 per set.

Henning recorded 13 kills in three sets against Ole Miss in their first matchup. Sophomore middle blocker Whitney Little also had 13 kills in that game; she has 157 this season, which is second on the team.

On the defensive side, the Lady Tigers have five players with more than 100 digs on the season, led by sophomore defensive specialist Sarah Meister with 213 digs.

Getzin said the team has changed a lot since its earlier match against Missouri.

“We’re doing a better job of being able to attack from all different positions and not relying just on certain hitters,” he said. “We’ve made some adjustments along the way, and obviously with the results we had last weekend, we have to continue to work on our side of the net.”

South Carolina enters this weekend having lost seven of its last nine matches after starting the season 14-0. Junior outside hitter Juliette Thévenin leads South Carolina in kills with 286 (4.21 per set). Thévenin killed six balls against the Lady Rebels last month. Junior defensive

specialist Paige Wheeler leads the team on defense with 282 digs this season, more than four digs per set.

“We had success against South Carolina at their place, and they’re a good team,” Getzin said. “The scores go back to zero, zero, and they get a chance to come back at it. It’s about execution, and I think they struggled a little bit at home. I know they’re going to play better.”

Redshirt freshman middle blocker Ty Laporte had a coming out party in the Magnolia Invitational, and she has consistently delivered this season. She had a 20-kill performance in this past Sunday’s heart-breaking loss to Georgia.

“She’s very capable of that,” Getzin said. “That’s something she’s been working hard at.

While Ty did a great job executing, we’ve got to be able to do things on a regular basis so that she’s always that option.”

The Lady Rebels will host Missouri on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. and will continue play South Carolina on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. in the Gillom Center.

“We’ve got to come in ready to play,” Getzin said. “It’s one point at a time no matter who’s in front of us.”

SCHEDULE,

continued from page 12

Hemingway Stadium will also play host to Idaho on Oct. 26 and Troy on Nov. 16, although those dates are subject to change.

The 2013 conference schedule is considered a “bridge” schedule by the SEC and not based on any other previous or future scheduling formats.

The SEC Athletics Directors will convene in Spring 2013 to begin formulating schedules for the 2014 season and beyond.

As next year’s lineup stands at this time, the Rebels will play four of their first five games on the road, followed by six straight at home before traveling to an in-state grudge match.

The 2013 college football schedule has 14 playing weekends which provides

for two bye weeks. Ole Miss’ open dates are currently Sept. 21 and Nov. 2, although changes in the non-league slate could alter those dates.

In order to maintain a balanced SEC schedule for the 2014 season and beyond, there are three conference games that will have repeat hosts from the 2012 schedule, and two involve the Rebels. The games are Ole Miss at Alabama, Texas A&M at Ole Miss and Georgia at Auburn.

The eight-game conference schedule consists of six games played inside the division and two games against teams from the opposite division. The cross-divisional common opponents that were previously announced by the conference will not take place until 2014.

The 2013 SEC Championship Game will be played on Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

portant thing I like to talk about is him as a person. He’s a great kid. The way he carries himself is a lot more than anything he does in football. His character speaks for him.”

In four years at Whitehaven, Saulsberry said Dodson’s body has grown, and he’s worked to that end, going from a 165-170-pound scat back to a 180-pound all-purpose back, and he sees him getting even better as he goes to college.

“He can be the bell cow on first and second down getting those tough yards,” he said.

“And on third down, he can still be in there because he’s a willing and able blocker. He can pick up pass protection. He has very high football IQ. He works well in the screen game. He can play out in the slot. He’s a true all-purpose back.”

What separates Dodson from other running backs is his explosiveness that makes him a home-run threat, according to Saulsberry.

“He has great vision and every time he touches the ball, he can go the distance, but he’s willing to get those tough yards, if necessary,” he said. “He can get that one or two yards on third-and-short, or he can go for 90 yards in one swoop. He’s done all of that. The one thing that makes him special is acceleration out of cuts. With one cut, he can accelerate full speed very quickly. Explosiveness separates you because you can see him moving at a faster pace than other players on the field.”

Ole Miss is expected to return three of its top four running backs in junior Jeff Scott, freshman I’Tavius Mathers and freshman Jaylen Walton. Dodson is also one of three running backs verbally committed to the Rebels, along with Peyton Barber (Alpharetta, Ga./Milton) and Eugene Brazley (New Or-

leans, La./G.W. Carver).

With that possible depth at running back, 247 Sports national recruiting analyst Keith Niebuhr sees value in Dodson’s ability to play multiple positions and compared him to freshman defensive back Mike Hilton, who started against Texas A&M and has recorded 14 tackles in six games this season at the huskie position.

“He’s compact,” Niebuhr said. “He’s muscular. He’s put together better than you think for a guy with those measurements. He can play running back, he can play slot receiver and he can play cornerback. I think if it doesn’t work out at one position or there’s a more pressing need at another position, I think he’s the kind of guy that can slide over and make an easy adjustment.”

Dodson credited his work in the offseason for his on-field success, and Saulsberry describes him as a player that’s the “first one there” and who “leads by example,” and he said this work ethic translates to his ability to lead.

“He’s not a rah-rah guy, but he leads by example,” he said.

“But when he does speak, his words carry weight, and he challenges his other teammates to step up and do things. The kids believe in him because he works just as hard, and I would say harder than anyone else.

They know he’s going to work.”

Whether it’s as an all-purpose running back or in another role on next year’s team, Dodson is on his way to making a difference at Ole Miss.

“I know greatness is in his future because he’s going to work at it and make sure it is,” Saulsberry said.

A lot on the line in final home weekend for soccer The last home stand of the season is a big one for the Lady Rebel soccer team, which looks to improve its seeding for the upcoming SEC Tournament with LSU and Tennessee coming to town this weekend.

BY JAKE THOMPSON jcthomps@go.olemiss.edu

The Ole Miss women’s soccer team has a big weekend ahead of it, as the Lady Rebels have a chance to secure their place in the Southeastern Conference Tournament held annually in Orange Beach, Ala., in the season’s final home stand against LSU and Tennessee.

Ole Miss (12-5, 5-5 SEC) is coming off a sweep this past weekend, with a 1-0 win against Vanderbilt this past Friday and a 2-1 win against South Carolina on Sunday.

Including a 2-0 victory over Kentucky on Oct. 7, the Lady Rebels are riding a three-game winning streak that has helped them climb back to a .500 record in the SEC. After starting 2-5 in the conference, Ole Miss seems to be peaking at the right time with only three games left in the regular season.

“We’ve played well since the Florida game,” head coach Matt Mott said. “We played well at Auburn and Georgia, but we just didn’t get the results. Now, we’ve started to pick up the results and the way we’re playing. We’re playing really well, and this is the time of year you have to defend well.”

VOTED

TYLER JACKSON | The Daily Mississippian

On Sunday, mid fielder Alex Hidal and the rest of the Ole Miss seniors will be celebrated on Senior Day.

The Lady Rebels would currently be the No. 7 seed for the SEC tournament, but with two wins and help from other teams, it could potentially be the No. 4 seed after games this weekend.

The first order of business will LSU (6-7-4, 2-6-2 SEC) on Friday night. When the two teams met in Baton Rouge this past season, LSU got the upper hand with a 3-2 win against Ole Miss. This year, LSU is not as strong as in past years, but Mott expects a tough match from the Lady Tigers.

“They lost a big core of their team at midfield,” Mott said.

“They’re trying to find their

identity in there and who is going to play. They will be a onegoal tough game for us, at least that is what we are expecting.

They’re a little desperate, so that always makes it tougher.”

The Lady Tigers are only a game out of the 10th and final spot for the SEC Tournament, so they will have something to play for but will also be looking to play spoiler and possibly hurt Ole Miss’ chance at getting a bye for the first round.

Tennessee (11-4-2, 6-3-1 SEC) will be a special game for the Lady Rebels on Sunday. It will be senior day as the team will be honoring its three seniors — midfielders Alix Hildal and Meghan O’Rourke

and defender Emily Sinovich.

And the game will also be televised on SportSouth.

The matchup against the Lady Volunteers could also have great significance. If Ole Miss wins against LSU and Tennessee loses to Texas A&M on Friday, the two teams could be playing for the same seed.

Mott views Sunday’s game as a chance not only to secure

an SEC berth, but also to help the Lady Rebels make a strong case for the NCAA selection committee.

“Tennessee’s RPI is around 18,” Mott said. “That’s a huge game for us from a standpoint of trying to get another win for our NCAA chances.”

One thing that will play in Ole Miss’ favor is that they will be at home for both matches this weekend. The Lady Rebels have a 7-2 record at the Ole Miss Soccer Stadium and have outscored opponents, 24-9.

“It will be a very difficult weekend, but I’m certainly glad that we’re at home and in front of our home fans,” Mott said. “We’ve been good out here, and we’re hoping to continue that.”

The LSU game is set for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff on Friday and the Tennessee game will be at 1 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.
