How student groups cash in with ASG By JUNNIE KWON and CAT ZAKRZEWSKI the daily northwestern

Last Wednesday, Medill junior Tegan Reyes set foot in her first Associated Student Government Senate meeting to appeal for more funding for the student group she co-chairs, Relay For Life. Reyes hoped to appeal to the Senate for more funding so that their group could have a photo booth for students to use at their annual philanthropy event. Relay For Life asked ASG for $400 for the photo booth, but the Student Groups Committee, which determines funding for B-status groups like Relay for Life, chose to allocate them only $200. But Reyes said the process was much more “disappointing” than she expected when she attended the Senate meeting to appeal for more money. Their request quickly turned into a long back-andforth, where senators and the Relay For Life co-chairs presented pros and cons about awarding the funding. Weinberg senior Lauren Masterson, ASG’s Student Groups vice president, told the Senate her committee had decided before the meeting to not allocate Relay For Life the full money because the photo booth was not essential to the event and because there was no precedent for one to be present there. The Senate eventually sided with Masterson. “It didn’t seem like an attack, but it just seemed like there was a lot going on,” Reyes said. “I did feel that it was a little harsh.” Reyes also said part of the challenge of appealing at ASG was a lack of knowledge

about how the process works. She said she didn’t even realize there would be pro and con speeches and debate when she went to Senate. She also said her group was advised by a representative of ASG to continue appealing for lesser and lesser values of money at the meeting, which eventually backfired and frustrated the senators. “If maybe they made more information available and more people actually did appeal, it would be better,” Reyes said. “I don’t even know where you would get that information.” Both Reyes and Masterson said at B-Status funding Senate meetings, most groups don’t appeal for more funding. “There’s a lot of apathy,” Masterson said. “A lot of groups think it’s not worth it for them to come in.” Masterson said she was glad the group came out to appeal for more money, even though she sticks by her original recommendation. “I’m glad they came in and tried to operate within the system,” Masterson said. “It’s a good thing to have that kind of debate at Senate.” But Reyes does not feel the same. “I was uncomfortable with it, and I probably won’t go to another Senate meeting,” Reyes said. BREAKING DOWN THE ‘B’ This quarter, ASG awarded a total of $12,802 to B-status groups for Spring Quarter, and Masterson said due to an increase in applicants, the process was more difficult than ever before. B-status groups, which receive funding quarterly, have been ASG-recognized for more

These groups receive 2.75 percent of the total SAF, which translates to about $36,000 annually. In order to receive B-status funding, Masterson said the Student Groups Committee expects groups to plan their events a quarter in advance. Midway through the quarter, they turn in an application for funding to group executives and

Dog-owners want year-round beach By CIARA MCCARTHY

the daily northwestern

In the winter months, there is a steady group of Evanston residents who remain committed to breaking city code every day. The culprits? Dog owners. The Evanston dog beach, located south of the Clark Street Beach at 1811 Sheridan Road, is officially closed from Dec. 1 to March 31, but attracts dog owners and their pets almost daily despite the restriction. More than 30 people, including dog owners and city staffers, gathered Saturday morning with Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) at the Lorraine H. Morton Civic Center, to discuss the dog beach, which is within Fiske’s ward. Keeping the beach open year round was the most unanimously supported suggestion. Fiske said issues such as the dog beach would typically be discussed during 1st Ward meetings. But because the beach attracts residents from all nine wards, she decided to hold a community meeting to hear suggestions and comments about the beach. Fiske noticed the dog beach was a popular topic of conversation on Engage Evanston, the city’s website where residents can give suggestions to staffers. “The mayor and I have gotten lots of questions and comments about the dog beach, sometimes the same ones over and over again,” Fiske said. On Saturday, residents discussed a variety of different ideas to make the dog beach more accessible and enjoyable for Evanston residents. In addition

Masterson. The committee then recommends a funding amount for each group, which is then presented to Senate. After a week of deliberation, Senate then votes on the funding as old business at the next week’s meeting, where students like Reyes can appeal the decisions. Of the 91 B-status eligible groups, 47 applied for funding this quarter, Masterson said. This is an increase from the typical 30 to 35, she explained. “Even though it makes our job harder,

to opening the beach year round, attendees discussed moving the entrance of the beach to the south end of the park and how to make parking more accessible. Other topics of discussion included the fence enclosing the beach and the availability of seating. Some dog owners were concerned with beach-goers who didn’t clean up after their dog. “I just grin and bear it and pick up everyone else’s poo because otherwise my dog eats it,” dog owner Sari Kadison-

Shapiro said. “I don’t think the city can really address this in an effective way.” Many of these issues are difficult to enforce, dog owners said, because not all beach-goers were responsible. Chuck Hager, who takes his border collie to the dog beach frequently, said many of the beach’s problems come from registered beach users who do not police other users. “I think the onus is on us to step it up,” Hager said. “If we work as a community,

UBPC presents survey findings By SUYEON SON

PLAYFUL PUPS Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) hosted a community meeting about Evanston’s dog beach on Saturday. Attendees unanimously requested that the beach be open year round. Currently, the beach is only open from April 1 to Nov. 30, a rule that is largely ignored.

I want more groups applying for B-status funding,” Masterson said. “We could potentially have an increase in the percentage of the funds for B-status groups, even if that makes things harder in the short-run.”

After months of planning and assessing students’ needs, the Undergraduate Budget Priorities Committee presented its findings to the University’s Budget and Planning Group on Thursday in preparation for fiscal year 2014, noting an increase in demand for improvement of mental health resources and persistent concern with financial aid availability. Just before the close of Fall Quarter, the UBPC sent out a survey to the undergraduate body, prompting students to voice their concerns and prioritize their requests for improvements on campus. The results were garnered from the responses of the 1,483 undergraduates who took the survey. “The fact that there is a waiting list at Counseling and Psychological Services stalls people from approaching them,” said SESP junior Billy Choo, who took the survey. “We had two cases of grievances that we had to take care of as a whole community, and I somehow felt like the University cannot just say ‘Please, know that CAPS is available to talk to,’ when they’re really understaffed.” Choo, who is also a member of NU Listens, a confidential peer listening service, felt the problem existed at the

financial level of management. “It’s not the fault of CAPS, it’s more the fault of the administration of not being able to fund enough of that,” he said. UBPC chair Chase Eck said students were mostly concerned about easing the process of reaching CAPS’ resources or finding out about its other services for less urgent needs. “It’s a holistic process,” the Weinberg junior said. “The answer is not just putting a ton of money into CAPS, but also asking, ‘How can we make our community more supportive?’” While Eck said concerns about mental health have increased this year, those centering around availability of financial aid have always been prevalent. “It has been an issue for a while,” he said. “However, it’s sort of hard to deal with that because the University has been putting a lot of funds into the area for the past four or five years already.” The proposal process for potential improvements to campus started as early as last Spring Quarter, Eck said. The UBPC met with student leaders to brainstorm ideas for issues that need to be addressed and sent out a preliminary, open-ended survey question to assess the general needs » See BUDGET, page 6

Evanston resident Jessica Wong did not expect to win a wedding gown when her friend signed her up for the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first wedding walk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am completely shocked and thrilled,â&#x20AC;? Wong said after the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just shaking.â&#x20AC;? The bride-to-be was among 50 people who participated in the walk on Sunday, which featured local vendors, a fashion show and a raffle. Wong won a handmade gown worth $3,000 in the raffle. Downtown Evanston organized the event to promote local vendors providing wedding services, said Carolyn Dellutri, executive director of the business association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got all the things that someone would need to plan their wedding and have their wedding here in downtown Evanston,â&#x20AC;? Dellutri said. The walk began at noon, with participants registering at Hilton Garden Inn Chicago North Shore/ Evanston and Hilton Orrington, where they learned about the banquet facilities at the hotels. Dellutri said her organization promoted the wedding walk locally as well as around the Chicago area. Libertyville, Ill. resident Trish Eckhart was one of those who received Dellutriâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s emails about the event. Eckhartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Jenny (SESP â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;09) plans to host a reception at Hilton Orrington for her upcoming wedding. On Sunday, Trish Eckhart and three other

The two burglary attempts are related because there were similar entry methods and the attempts were reported at roughly the same time, Polinski said. In both attempts, police discovered pry marks on the front doors of each residence. It is unknown what was used to pry open the doors, Polinski said.

Northwestern students and local senior citizens enjoyed an afternoon of song and dance, wearing 1950s-themed garb at Northwestern Community Development Corps’ Senior Gala on Saturday. In a room at the North Shore Retirement Hotel, 1611 Chicago Ave., dotted with old album covers and tables decked out with black-and-white checkered tablecloths, students and senior citizens conversed, sang and viewed performances at the annual event. With its “Fabulous ‘50s” theme, the Senior Gala featured acts by both senior citizens and students, including a sing-along led by North Shore Retirement Hotel resident Hattie Buell, a performance by local all-senior citizen band Senior Stompers, 1950s dance lessons from NU’s Ballroom, Latin & Swing Team and performances by Undertones a cappella and Tonik Tap. The senior citizens also shared their favorite 1950s memories, some of which included swimming at the Boys & Girls Clubs. NCDC co-chair Amalia Namath said 80 student volunteers, 20 student performers and 70 senior citizens attended the event. She said this was the largest student volunteer turnout yet for Senior Gala, something that stemmed in part from the attendance of student groups. Namath said the event provides a good opportunity for students to escape the “Northwestern bubble” and forget about exams and other obligations. “The senior citizens are so happy to talk to us about their lives,” the Weinberg senior said. “It makes us realize the little things don’t matter and there’s a bigger picture.” NCDC Special Events co-chair and Weinberg junior Sheena Desai said planning for the event started at the beginning of the quarter, with committee members obtaining food donations, organizing decorations and advertising the event to student groups. This year’s gala was the second one to take place

off campus, Namath said. She said the event’s relocation from Norris University Center to North Shore Retirement Hotel made it easier for senior citizens to attend. Blair Laden, 86, said she started working with NCDC members to help plan Senior Gala several years ago. She said she has appreciated the opportunity to interact with a younger generation. “Age shouldn’t separate us. We still have a lot of issues and problems in this world and it takes a village,” Laden said. “We should keep going and learn from each other.” Laden worked throughout the event to encourage people to get up and dance during performances. “The important thing is not the quality (of dancing) so much, but the spirit to still keep trying,” said Laden, who dances, teaches tai chi and does sculpting. “Our bodies may change, but the spirit is still within us and it has to be nurtured.” North Shore Retirement Hotel resident Rose

O’Donnell, who attended the Senior Gala for the first time, said she appreciated the music, dancing, decorations and talking with students. “I enjoy knowing what they were doing and what they were studying,” O’Donnell said of the students. “It’s always nice to see young folks. They’re full of vitality.” Weinberg junior Talia Romo attended the event with her sorority as a service event. She said she enjoyed hearing the stories of a woman who spent time traveling abroad. “They’re things we read about in textbooks, but she has firsthand experience,” Romo said. Overall, Laden said she appreciates the opportunity the event gives to unite two different sectors of society. “This intergenerational mix is a wonderful thing,” she said. jilliansandler2014@u.northwestern.edu

Embarrassing end to McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy RYAN KEARNEY

DAILY COLUMNIST

Remember Sen. John McCain(R-Ariz.)? War hero, POW camp survivor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;maverickâ&#x20AC;? of the Senate, rider of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Straight Talk Express?â&#x20AC;? He ran for president twice, and was a particular beacon of integrity in his first run? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to forget that this John McCain, the one who regularly reached across the aisle and opposed his own partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s President on issues from taxes to torture, once existed. Since his decisive loss to now-President Barack Obama in the 2008 election, the man who once seemed capable of tackling big issues and putting â&#x20AC;&#x153;country first,â&#x20AC;? to quote his 2008 campaign slogan, has vanished. In his place now stands a cynical and downright unpleasant old man, one who is more concerned with opposing the man who beat him than in leaving any positive historical legacy. I hesitate to devote a column to the man and give his antics attention, but his recent actions have proven to be so outrageous that they must be acknowledged. McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall from respectability has been a long time coming. In contrast with his 2000 Republican primary campaign, his 2008 campaign was something of an embarrassment. His use of non-issues like Joe the Plumber and Bill Ayers was maddening, and his choice of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice president quickly proved to be a misjudgment of epic proportions. Since deservedly losing that election, McCain has shifted from being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;maverickâ&#x20AC;? to acting as a reliable opponent of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agenda. However, it is his behavior in the aftermath of the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election that has truly crystallized just how lacking McCain

now is in integrity. McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-election pattern of embarrassing himself began with his vehement and unjustified opposition to the possibility of U.N. Ambassador Susan Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination as secretary of state. Taking issue with Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public handling of the September 2012 Benghazi attacks, McCain lashed out at her for being â&#x20AC;&#x153;not very brightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;unqualifiedâ&#x20AC;? to serve as secretary. That he would label an accomplished diplomat as â&#x20AC;&#x153;unqualifiedâ&#x20AC;? to serve as the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top diplomat was especially galling, given the obvious lack of judgment in â&#x20AC;&#x153;qualificationsâ&#x20AC;? that McCain demonstrated when he selected the 20-month governor of Alaska with no expertise or interest in any actual policy area to run as his Vice President. McCain continued his questionable crusade against the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreign policy team by vehemently opposing the nomination of his former Senate Republican colleague Chuck Hagel, a friend and fellow Vietnam veteran, to serve as secretary of defense. McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reasons for opposing Hagel so strenuously, many of which I explained in a previous column, are as flimsy as his rationale for fighting Rice. Once again ignoring the fact that his vice presidential pick left him as perhaps leastqualified member of Congress to ever judge the merits of anyone for a job, McCain ludicrously labeled Hagel as unqualified to serve as secretary, and complained about his willingness to attack former President George Bushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Iraq policy and be â&#x20AC;&#x153;anti his own party and people.â&#x20AC;? The old, â&#x20AC;&#x153;maverickâ&#x20AC;? McCain would be proud of Hagelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s independence â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McCain, who never lets an opportunity to oppose the Obama Administration go to waste. McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unreasonableness and grandstanding may have hit a new low last week, though, in a Phoenix town hall exchange with the mother of a victim of the Aurora, Colo. theatre shootings. Responding to the motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

The Daily Northwestern Volume 133, Issue 81

question about the need for an assault weapons ban to prevent tragedies like Aurora from happening again, McCain responded not with compassion or an open mind on the thorny issue of gun control, but with condescension and false bravado. Breaking out a tired slogan for the grieving mother, McCain told her that she needed some â&#x20AC;&#x153;straight talkâ&#x20AC;? because an assault weapons ban would never pass the U.S. Senate. The mother, a Republican, was â&#x20AC;&#x153;appalledâ&#x20AC;? by McCainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rudeness, and she and her husband have vowed to never vote for him again.

In his strident opposition to any and all policy proposals or nominations that come out of the Obama Administration, McCain has forsaken his sense of bipartisanship and reasonableness. It is an immense shame that the career of this 76 year-old war hero is concluding not in triumph, with McCain acting as the senior statesman and dealmaker of the Senate, but in embarrassment, with him looking like little more than a crotchety old man who is still drowning in bitterness over a lost election. I hope that McCain remembers why he used to be a successful senator and why people used to actually like him, but based on his conduct of late, I will not hold my breath.

Earlier this year, Northwestern started playing music over the loudspeaker in the indoor facility during its 9 a.m. practices. The music is meant to get the team’s energy going early in the morning, but also unavoidably provides a soundtrack to the Wildcats’ practice. One of the songs playing the Wednesday morning before No. 1 NU hit the road to battle No. 5 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., was “Radioactive” by Imagine Dragons. It’s a basethumping, electronica-adjacent pump-up song, with a chorus that goes, “I’m waking up, I feel it in my bones/ Enough to make

my systems blow/ Welcome to the new age, to the new age.” The song gives the early-morning practice an added air of intensity, especially during a drill in which three players charge down field to begin a scrimmage. But the Cats’ rule over women’s college lacrosse is nothing new – one of the following songs, Will.I.Am and Britney Spears’s “Scream and Shout,” is more appropriate for the seven-time National Championship winning Cats. The song’s mantra summarizes NU’s 2013 season, as well as its half-dozen seasons before that: “All eyes on us.” ‘REDEMPTION DOWN THE LINE’ The Cats are coming off their seventh national title in eight years, the blip in the streak being a loss to Maryland in the

After losing twice to the Gators during the 2011-2012 campaign, both junior midfielder and draw-control specialist Alyssa Leonard and senior midfielder Taylor Thornton are looking forward to playing Florida toward the end of April. NU also faces No. 2 Syracuse, the team they beat in the 2012 NCAA Championship game, toward the end of March. Despite staying focused on her team’s improvement throughout the season, Leonard is excited for the two opportunities. “Long term, it’s about the everyday – all season, being able » See SLUG, page 4

Big Ten a big test for Wildcats By ABBEY CHASE

the daily northwestern

If this season has proved anything, it’s that last year was no anomaly. With their non-conference season now over, Northwestern has tallied a 13-3 record, a considerable improvement over last year’s 7-5 mark, which served as a precursor to the Wildcats’ best conference season in three years. “We just had more of a belief in ourselves,” senior Chris Jackman said. “My freshman and sophomore years, it was awful. And then last year, we had a good freshman class and it was our time. We had a couple good matches early on and then we just kept it going. This year, it’s going to be even bigger because we have that confidence from last year.” The hallmark of the Cats’ season so far has been their tenacity. With over a 60 percent winning percentage in three-set matches, NU has not only soundly defeated its lower-ranked opponents but also scored wins against previously problematic foes. The Cats took out Notre Dame for the first time in nine years and defeated the University of Louisville, Denver University and North Carolina State, a team that dealt NU one of its most disappointing 7-0 losses last season. With a packed Big Ten schedule on the horizon, in which nine of the 11 other teams are ranked, the Cats have their work cut out for them. But for coach Arvid Swan, the key is to take it one match at a time. “When you’re looking in conference, every

match is critical,” Swan said. “You’re trying to improve your seed position in the conference and get wins to help you get into the NCAA tournament and you just can’t look ahead. That’s what I talk to the guys about but it’s really the case.” Following the team’s two victories over the weekend, three players are now tied for first in most dual match singles wins. At the No. 3 spot, senior Sidarth Balaji has earned an 11-3 singles record and with doubles partner junior Raleigh Smith, who also holds an 11-3 singles record, has only surrendered one doubles match all season. The duo fell 8-7 against Harvard after pushing the No. 1 Crimson team to 13-11 in a tiebreaker. “Last year, I didn’t play in the fall,” Balaji said. “I only started playing in November, December. This year, I had the full fall to get ready and I’ve been able to get a lot matches in so I think that’s helped me get better and stay focused throughout the course of each match.” Sophomore Alex Pasareanu is the third player with an 11-3 singles record, a noticeable upgrade from his just over .500 record last season. NU will open its Big Ten season on the road this Saturday against Illinois. The Fighting Illini are ranked No. 17 and the Cats have struggled in the past several years against their in-state rival, with their last win coming in 1997. “I think now, me and the other two seniors, we’ve played (Illinois) three times and we know what to expect,” Balaji said. “They’re a good team and I think the experience should help us. This year, I felt like we’ve been able to play a

more complete match, more so than last year. It took until the Big Ten season for us all to come together, but I think we’re all together right now so I think that’s going to be a key against Illinois.” One of NU’s most memorable Big Ten matches last season was a win against then-No. 36 Minnesota on a cold and windy Chicago spring day. The Cats fought back from a 2-0 hole to wrestle the match from the Golden Gophers, with Pasareanu winning the decisive sixth singles match 7-5, 5-7, 7-5. Looking ahead to the rest of this season, NU’s toughest test will likely come in Ohio State, a team that is consistently ranked in the top five and currently holds the No. 4 spot in the nation. “Big Ten is a highly competitive conference,” Swan said. “You have to play good doubles, you have to play a complete match as often as you can because the talent level is so high. We’ve played a very competitive non-conference schedule to get prepared for a very competitive Big Ten season, so we just have to keep getting better. I think the team as a whole competes well so we just need to continue to improve our skills.” Although Jackman’s “dream come true” would be a Big Ten Tournament title, for Smith, every victory is similarly sweet. “I equally dislike every other team in the Big Ten,” Smith said. “Illinois is in-state so that’ll be a good atmosphere there. I’m definitely looking forward to that one. But I want to beat every team in the Big Ten equally bad.” abigailchase2015@u.northwestern.edu

Pitching key for NU to forget last season By ALEX PUTTERMAN

the daily northwestern

Daily file photo by Rafi Letzter

TOSS UP The Wildcats will rely on pitching for any hopes of success during the 2013 season. Currently, redshirt senior Zach Morton leads the team with a 2-0 record and 1.29 ERA.

Wildcats coach Paul Stevens talks about baseball like some people talk about a favorite television show. Smiling throughout, he exudes an increasingly perceptible cheerfulness, gaining vocal momentum and inflection as he shares the virtues of the game and his team. Unless you mention last year. “I was very disappointed with last year’s (result),” he said of 2012’s 18-36 campaign. “I really don’t have too much to say about it. It’s in the past, and that’s where it’s going to stay with me. If I had something good to say about it, I would, but it’s behind me.” And it’s with that as a backdrop that Northwestern begins Stevens’ 26th year as coach. Like their predecessors of a year ago, the 2013 Cats, 4-2 two weeks into the season, will rely on starting pitching. Sophomore Brandon Magallones, who struck out a team-high 67 batters his first season in purple, and senior Luke Farrell, who struggled in 2012 after an excellent 2011, will pitch plenty in the upcoming months. But it’s fifth-year senior Zach Morton who, early in the season, has assumed the role of “ace.” In 2012, Morton kept runs off the scoreboard, posting a 3.46 ERA over 14 appearances — 13 of them starts — and 83.1 innings. But in front of a defense that made more than 1.5 errors per game and an offense that produced less than 4 runs per game, the righty went 1-10, by far the team’s worst record among starting pitchers. The early days of 2013 have wrought Morton spectacular results and even some run support. The veteran has allowed only 8 hits and 2 runs in 14 innings this season, for a 1.29 ERA and 0.86 WHIP. In his two starts, the Cats have scored 13 runs and haven’t made an error. Pitching better than ever and finally getting help from his teammates, Morton is 2-0. Morton and shortstop Trevor Stevens are

NU’s oldest players and possibly the team’s best. Stevens hit .305 in 2011 with an impressive .425 on-base percentage, as well as a team-high 10 stolen bases before losing all of 2012 to injury. Now he’s back, batting first, playing shortstop and, with fellow fifth-year senior Morton, leading the Cats. “I want to make sure I want to take in everything on my last go-round, have a good time,” Morton said. “I’ve been around a while — Trevor and I — so I think both of us have responsibility, along with the other seniors and upperclassmen, to lead the way a little bit.” NU has a variety of expectations for 2013, ranging from realistic—outfielder Walker Moses said the team would like to qualify for the Big Ten tournament—too far-fetched— Coach Stevens said that winning a national championship is “what you put on a uniform for.” Everyone, however, expects improvement. “We have such good team chemistry this year,” Moses said. “It’s a lot different than last year. Everyone works a lot harder, people are getting in here early to work out more. Everything’s looking really good.” While Moses, a sophomore, pointed to the team’s “young talent” as a reason for high hopes, Magdallones suggested that the experience of NU’s “older guys” could be the team’s catalyst. Maybe that balance—between talented youth and seasoned old guys —is why the Cats express such optimism about 2013. That, plus the type of intangible spirit that gets their coach excited. “This group has got a phenomenal approach,” Stevens said. “Their attitude, their work ethic, their ability to sit there and see strengths and weaknesses in themselves and the people around them and help each other be accountable for what you do, when you do it and how you do it. I think this is absolutely a stellar group of guys.” He’d much rather talk about this year. alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

Cats hope to continue reign in Big Ten By ALEX PUTTERMAN

the daily northwestern

Life can be tough for a powerhouse with a schedule to match its reputation. The No. 9 Wildcats have finished the bulk of non-conference play, in which they have gone 6-4 with several big wins and a few disappointing losses. Northwestern has defeated two teams in the nation’s top 10 and four in the top 20, but lost twice to then-No. 3 Duke and once apiece to No. 21 Vanderbilt and No. 14 Texas. Although coach Claire Pollard said the Cats have “missed some opportunities to convert,” she praised the team’s balance as a key component to its success. “I like that we don’t have any hole in our

lineup,” Pollard said. “We’re solid at every position now, and I really like that.” Perhaps the most impressive player for the Cats has been No. 83 Belinda Niu. At the Indoor Team Championships from Feb. 8 to 10, the then-unranked junior won all three of her matches, including two victories over ranked opponents and NU’s only point against the Blue Devils. “Something I’ve always struggled with is staying mentally composed and not getting too frantic when I play,” Niu said. “At indoors, in all three matches, I was able to stay calm and keep fighting, even under whatever circumstances. I think that’s always really important for me.” The start of Big Ten play, March 2 against Illinois, provides a set of pressures for the Cats. NU has finished first in the conference 12 times in Pollard’s 14 seasons at the helm, including in 2012, when the Cats went 10-1 in the conference. Despite the regular-season title, the Cats failed to win the conference tournament last year for the first time under Pollard. As the current highestranked Big Ten team , NU has an opportunity to return to championship glory. “We’re definitely excited for Big Ten play,” Niu said. “It’s particularly meaningful for us because we’ve had an incredible history in the Big Ten, and part of our program legacy is taking the season title and the tournament title every year, so we always want to work very hard to

defend that.” Though the conference schedule is no cakewalk for the Cats, the worst might be behind them. NU hasn’t faced an opponent ranked outside the top 40, but the Big Ten includes unranked teams like Iowa and Wisconsin amidst titans like No. 12 Michigan and No. 15 Nebraska. The players will likely appreciate the occasional respite. “It’s tough to have that tough of a schedule,” No. 67 Kate Turvy said. “Just back-to-back-to-back tough teams, but it’s what we like and what we came here to do, so it’s good, but at the same time it’s exhausting too.” Turvy, the Cats’ top player, epitomizes the uncertainty of college tennis at this level. Like the team as a whole, the senior has won and lost against the country’s best, going 3-4 so far in the dual-meet season. Turvy has dropped three consecutive matches since leading NU’s victory over No. 11 Miami. The ups and down don’t trouble the Cats, who consistently emphasize process over results. Pollard called the loss to Texas a better performance than the team’s win over Notre Dame the weekend before, and Turvy said she doesn’t know the Cats’ record or judge success based on it. “I can’t think of a match I’ve been disappointed in the team with,” she said. “If you would tell me where we’re at now and how hard we’ve fought to get here, I wouldn’t be disappointed at all.” So, with process as her criteria, is Pollard satisfied with her team’s performance to this point? “Jury’s still out.” alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

BACK FOR MORE The Wildcats fell short during the NCAA Championships last season, a miracle run not good enough for Northwestern’s leaders, such as senior Meghan Lamberth.

Upset Cats not satisfied with last year By JOSH WALFISH

daily senior staffer

Northwestern came back from Texas disappointed and hungry. The Wildcats had just lost a doubleheader to No. 6 Texas, eliminating them from the NCAA Championships. With a majority of the team coming back this season, NU hit the practice field with eyes toward returning back to the NCAA Championships and getting all the way to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series. The players said the losses in Austin were not a real motivating factor, but it was more of a taste of the ultimate goal the Cats were working toward. Under the direction of sports performance coach Tyler Jorgensen, the Cats set off on a lengthy fivemonth-long offseason program in anticipation for the 2013 campaign. The regimen was split into three phases – fall ball, offseason workouts and preseason workouts. The end result was what coach Kate Drohan described as “the best offseason in

program history.” “It’s definitely the best one we’ve had,” senior pitcher Meghan Lamberth said. “We never took a day off and we were always getting better every single day.” The difficult process began at the end of September and beginning of October with six games in fall ball. However, the toughest parts remained ahead for the Cats as the weather got colder and the softball season was still only slowly approaching. Junior infielder Marisa Bast said the most difficult part of the offseason was understanding the benefits of the hard work wouldn’t be realized for awhile. “For me, it’s knowing that I have to come and be consistent every single day and know that this work will pay off in the spring,” Bast said. “It is hard knowing you’re not going to step on a field for three or four months, so you just have to have the mindset to show up every day and know that the work you put in in the weight room and in the turf room is going to translate onto the field.” The hallmark of the offseason program was creating competition between teammates. Every

Friday the team was split into different groups which competed against one another in an array of challenges. The groups rotated around different stations of different exercises and competed with one another. Jorgensen said one of his biggest goals with the program was to help the team learn how to come together and support one another. In order to accomplish that, Jorgensen tried to push the team out of their comfort zone and force them to rely on their teammates to get them through unfamiliar circumstances. “Our plan in our offseason was essentially to compete as hard as we can,” Jorgensen said. “Our competition Fridays were geared toward getting them in uncomfortable situations and getting them to compete with each other and also develop that trust within the team to rely on each other.” The effects from the offseason are already paying dividends on the field for NU. Lamberth said she has gotten her fitness level up, which has allowed her to get more velocity on her pitches and lead the team with a 1.68 ERA, almost two full runs lower

than last season. The improved fitness level has also given Lamberth more power at the plate, and she has delivered with four extra base hits on this young season after having six combined in her previous three years. The program has also helped make the Cats battle tested. NU won seven straight games and eight of their last nine contests after losing the first five games of the season. The improvements were seen most prominently during this past weekend when the Cats came from behind three times in the seventh inning and broke ties late in the game twice en route to going a perfect 5-0 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic. A rigorous offseason plan teaches people a lot about themselves and about their teammates. Bast said she learned about how far this team is willing to push itself to accomplish its goals. “I learned how much we thrive in competition and how hard we’re willing to work each pitch and each game,” Bast said. “That will take us far.” joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu

The Fighting Illini are ranked No. 17 and the Cats have struggled in the past several years against their in-state rival, with their last win coming in 1997. “I think now, me and the other two seniors, we’ve played (Illinois) three times and we know what to expect,” Balaji said. “They’re a good team and I think the experience should help us. This year, I felt like we’ve been able to play a

more complete match, more so than last year. It took until the Big Ten season for us all to come together, but I think we’re all together right now so I think that’s going to be a key against Illinois.” One of NU’s most memorable Big Ten matches last season was a win against then-No. 36 Minnesota on a cold and windy Chicago spring day. The Cats fought back from a 2-0 hole to wrestle the match from the Golden Gophers, with Pasareanu winning the decisive sixth singles match 7-5, 5-7, 7-5. Looking ahead to the rest of this season, NU’s toughest test will likely come in Ohio State, a team that is consistently ranked in the top five and currently holds the No. 4 spot in the nation. “Big Ten is a highly competitive conference,” Swan said. “You have to play good doubles, you have to play a complete match as often as you can because the talent level is so high. We’ve played a very competitive non-conference schedule to get prepared for a very competitive Big Ten season, so we just have to keep getting better. I think the team as a whole competes well so we just need to continue to improve our skills.” Although Jackman’s “dream come true” would be a Big Ten Tournament title, for Smith, every victory is similarly sweet. “I equally dislike every other team in the Big Ten,” Smith said. “Illinois is in-state so that’ll be a good atmosphere there. I’m definitely looking forward to that one. But I want to beat every team in the Big Ten equally bad.” abigailchase2015@u.northwestern.edu

Pitching key for NU to forget last season By ALEX PUTTERMAN

the daily northwestern

TOSS UP The Wildcats will rely on pitching for any hopes of success during the 2013 season. Currently, redshirt senior Zach Morton leads the team with a 2-0 record and 1.29 ERA.

Wildcats coach Paul Stevens talks about baseball like some people talk about a favorite television show. Smiling throughout, he exudes an increasingly perceptible cheerfulness, gaining vocal momentum and inflection as he shares the virtues of the game and his team. Unless you mention last year. “I was very disappointed with last year’s (result),” he said of 2012’s 18-36 campaign. “I really don’t have too much to say about it. It’s in the past, and that’s where it’s going to stay with me. If I had something good to say about it, I would, but it’s behind me.” And it’s with that as a backdrop that Northwestern begins Stevens’ 26th year as coach. Like their predecessors of a year ago, the 2013 Cats, 4-2 two weeks into the season, will rely on starting pitching. Sophomore Brandon Magallones, who struck out a team-high 67 batters his first season in purple, and senior Luke Farrell, who struggled in 2012 after an excellent 2011, will pitch plenty in the upcoming months. But it’s fifth-year senior Zach Morton who, early in the season, has assumed the role of “ace.” In 2012, Morton kept runs off the scoreboard, posting a 3.46 ERA over 14 appearances — 13 of them starts — and 83.1 innings. But in front of a defense that made more than 1.5 errors per game and an offense that produced less than 4 runs per game, the righty went 1-10, by far the team’s worst record among starting pitchers. The early days of 2013 have wrought Morton spectacular results and even some run support. The veteran has allowed only 8 hits and 2 runs in 14 innings this season, for a 1.29 ERA and 0.86 WHIP. In his two starts, the Cats have scored 13 runs and haven’t made an error. Pitching better than ever and finally getting help from his teammates, Morton is 2-0. Morton and shortstop Trevor Stevens are

NU’s oldest players and possibly the team’s best. Stevens hit .305 in 2011 with an impressive .425 on-base percentage, as well as a team-high 10 stolen bases before losing all of 2012 to injury. Now he’s back, batting first, playing shortstop and, with fellow fifth-year senior Morton, leading the Cats. “I want to make sure I want to take in everything on my last go-round, have a good time,” Morton said. “I’ve been around a while — Trevor and I — so I think both of us have responsibility, along with the other seniors and upperclassmen, to lead the way a little bit.” NU has a variety of expectations for 2013, ranging from realistic—outfielder Walker Moses said the team would like to qualify for the Big Ten tournament—too far-fetched— Coach Stevens said that winning a national championship is “what you put on a uniform for.” Everyone, however, expects improvement. “We have such good team chemistry this year,” Moses said. “It’s a lot different than last year. Everyone works a lot harder, people are getting in here early to work out more. Everything’s looking really good.” While Moses, a sophomore, pointed to the team’s “young talent” as a reason for high hopes, Magdallones suggested that the experience of NU’s “older guys” could be the team’s catalyst. Maybe that balance—between talented youth and seasoned old guys —is why the Cats express such optimism about 2013. That, plus the type of intangible spirit that gets their coach excited. “This group has got a phenomenal approach,” Stevens said. “Their attitude, their work ethic, their ability to sit there and see strengths and weaknesses in themselves and the people around them and help each other be accountable for what you do, when you do it and how you do it. I think this is absolutely a stellar group of guys.” He’d much rather talk about this year. alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

Cats hope to continue reign in Big Ten By ALEX PUTTERMAN

the daily northwestern

Life can be tough for a powerhouse with a schedule to match its reputation. The No. 9 Wildcats have finished the bulk of non-conference play, in which they have gone 6-4 with several big wins and a few disappointing losses. Northwestern has defeated two teams in the nation’s top 10 and four in the top 20, but lost twice to then-No. 3 Duke and once apiece to No. 21 Vanderbilt and No. 14 Texas. Although coach Claire Pollard said the Cats have “missed some opportunities to convert,” she praised the team’s balance as a key component to its success. “I like that we don’t have any hole in our

lineup,” Pollard said. “We’re solid at every position now, and I really like that.” Perhaps the most impressive player for the Cats has been No. 83 Belinda Niu. At the Indoor Team Championships from Feb. 8 to 10, the then-unranked junior won all three of her matches, including two victories over ranked opponents and NU’s only point against the Blue Devils. “Something I’ve always struggled with is staying mentally composed and not getting too frantic when I play,” Niu said. “At indoors, in all three matches, I was able to stay calm and keep fighting, even under whatever circumstances. I think that’s always really important for me.” The start of Big Ten play, March 2 against Illinois, provides a set of pressures for the Cats. NU has finished first in the conference 12 times in Pollard’s 14 seasons at the helm, including in 2012, when the Cats went 10-1 in the conference. Despite the regular-season title, the Cats failed to win the conference tournament last year for the first time under Pollard. As the current highestranked Big Ten team , NU has an opportunity to return to championship glory. “We’re definitely excited for Big Ten play,” Niu said. “It’s particularly meaningful for us because we’ve had an incredible history in the Big Ten, and part of our program legacy is taking the season title and the tournament title every year, so we always want to work very hard to

defend that.” Though the conference schedule is no cakewalk for the Cats, the worst might be behind them. NU hasn’t faced an opponent ranked outside the top 40, but the Big Ten includes unranked teams like Iowa and Wisconsin amidst titans like No. 12 Michigan and No. 15 Nebraska. The players will likely appreciate the occasional respite. “It’s tough to have that tough of a schedule,” No. 67 Kate Turvy said. “Just back-to-back-to-back tough teams, but it’s what we like and what we came here to do, so it’s good, but at the same time it’s exhausting too.” Turvy, the Cats’ top player, epitomizes the uncertainty of college tennis at this level. Like the team as a whole, the senior has won and lost against the country’s best, going 3-4 so far in the dual-meet season. Turvy has dropped three consecutive matches since leading NU’s victory over No. 11 Miami. The ups and down don’t trouble the Cats, who consistently emphasize process over results. Pollard called the loss to Texas a better performance than the team’s win over Notre Dame the weekend before, and Turvy said she doesn’t know the Cats’ record or judge success based on it. “I can’t think of a match I’ve been disappointed in the team with,” she said. “If you would tell me where we’re at now and how hard we’ve fought to get here, I wouldn’t be disappointed at all.” So, with process as her criteria, is Pollard satisfied with her team’s performance to this point? “Jury’s still out.” alexanderputterman2016@u.northwestern.edu

BACK FOR MORE The Wildcats fell short during the NCAA Championships last season, a miracle run not good enough for Northwestern’s leaders, such as senior Meghan Lamberth.

Upset Cats not satisfied with last year By JOSH WALFISH

daily senior staffer

Northwestern came back from Texas disappointed and hungry. The Wildcats had just lost a doubleheader to No. 6 Texas, eliminating them from the NCAA Championships. With a majority of the team coming back this season, NU hit the practice field with eyes toward returning back to the NCAA Championships and getting all the way to Oklahoma City for the Women’s College World Series. The players said the losses in Austin were not a real motivating factor, but it was more of a taste of the ultimate goal the Cats were working toward. Under the direction of sports performance coach Tyler Jorgensen, the Cats set off on a lengthy fivemonth-long offseason program in anticipation for the 2013 campaign. The regimen was split into three phases – fall ball, offseason workouts and preseason workouts. The end result was what coach Kate Drohan described as “the best offseason in

program history.” “It’s definitely the best one we’ve had,” senior pitcher Meghan Lamberth said. “We never took a day off and we were always getting better every single day.” The difficult process began at the end of September and beginning of October with six games in fall ball. However, the toughest parts remained ahead for the Cats as the weather got colder and the softball season was still only slowly approaching. Junior infielder Marisa Bast said the most difficult part of the offseason was understanding the benefits of the hard work wouldn’t be realized for awhile. “For me, it’s knowing that I have to come and be consistent every single day and know that this work will pay off in the spring,” Bast said. “It is hard knowing you’re not going to step on a field for three or four months, so you just have to have the mindset to show up every day and know that the work you put in in the weight room and in the turf room is going to translate onto the field.” The hallmark of the offseason program was creating competition between teammates. Every

Friday the team was split into different groups which competed against one another in an array of challenges. The groups rotated around different stations of different exercises and competed with one another. Jorgensen said one of his biggest goals with the program was to help the team learn how to come together and support one another. In order to accomplish that, Jorgensen tried to push the team out of their comfort zone and force them to rely on their teammates to get them through unfamiliar circumstances. “Our plan in our offseason was essentially to compete as hard as we can,” Jorgensen said. “Our competition Fridays were geared toward getting them in uncomfortable situations and getting them to compete with each other and also develop that trust within the team to rely on each other.” The effects from the offseason are already paying dividends on the field for NU. Lamberth said she has gotten her fitness level up, which has allowed her to get more velocity on her pitches and lead the team with a 1.68 ERA, almost two full runs lower

than last season. The improved fitness level has also given Lamberth more power at the plate, and she has delivered with four extra base hits on this young season after having six combined in her previous three years. The program has also helped make the Cats battle tested. NU won seven straight games and eight of their last nine contests after losing the first five games of the season. The improvements were seen most prominently during this past weekend when the Cats came from behind three times in the seventh inning and broke ties late in the game twice en route to going a perfect 5-0 at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic. A rigorous offseason plan teaches people a lot about themselves and about their teammates. Bast said she learned about how far this team is willing to push itself to accomplish its goals. “I learned how much we thrive in competition and how hard we’re willing to work each pitch and each game,” Bast said. “That will take us far.” joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu

Losole, Perry lead squad By JOSH WALFISH

daily senior staffer

Northwestern’s spring campaign normally begins with a win. The Wildcats had won 13 straight matches at the Big Ten Match Play Championships from 2009 to 2012, but in the first match of the 2013 tournament, the three-time defending champions lost to Michigan State 4-1. NU rebounded to take fifth place with wins over Michigan and Indiana, but the event did not set the tone for the rest of the spring. NU will only compete in four events this spring after a successful fall season. The Cats finished in the top half of the field in four of their five fall events, including a win in the Inverness Intercollegiate to open the season. The team followed up that win with a second-place finish the following week at its own tournament, the Windon Memorial. The Cats are led by senior Nick Losole and junior Jack Perry, who have combined for nine top-20 finishes, including five in the top 10. Perry has an individual win to his credit this season with a victory in a two-person tiebreaker at the Inverness Intercollegiate in September. Losole made late charges to finish third at Inverness and second at the Fighting Illini Invitational.

Weaver, Wildcats expect success

NU’s stroke-play schedule began last week in Puerto Rico with a sixth place finish out of 15 teams. The Cats struggled mightily in the first round with Losole’s one-under 71 and Perry’s 72, the only players at even-par or better. The other three players combined to shoot 16 over par, but luckily for NU, only two of those scores counted and it sat in 11th place 18 strokes off the pace at 9 over. Coach Pat Goss challenged his team on Twitter to score at least 20 birdies in the second round and the Cats responded. NU carded exactly 20 birdies as the team shot a season-best seven under-par to make a charge up the leaderboard to seventh place. The difference was four of NU’s five golfers went under-par in round two, including a 69 from sophomore Matthew Negri. In the final round, Negri one-upped himself with a 68 and Perry shot a 71 to help the Cats into sixth place. Losole really struggled in the final round in Puerto Rico, shooting a 75 to fall from a tie for ninth into a tie for 24th. The final three tournaments prior to the Big Ten Championships on April 26 to 28 will be important for determining the final two or three golfers in the starting lineup. Losole, Perry and sophomore Bennett Lavin are the only three golfers to play in all six stroke play events so far for the Cats. Negri should be in the lineup in Fresno after his

Lauren Weaver has helped put Northwestern back on the map. The senior has led the Wildcats to the NCAA Championships in each of her first three seasons at NU. She holds the program records for lowest round, lowest single season scoring average and lowest career scoring average. Coach Emily Fletcher told NUsports.com that Weaver is “a competitor,” and she expects the senior will play an important role this spring. “She is so competitive and I feel like

to bring it every day. There’s an opportunity to get better every day, and if we’re not taking advantage of it, someone else might,” Leonard said. “But definitely, with Florida and Syracuse … there’s a little redemption down the line.” Syracuse and No. 3 Florida are only two of the Cats’ scheduled five top-10 ranked opponents this season. NU will also face No. 7 Duke, No. 8 Virginia and No. 9 Notre Dame in April. ‘A COLLECTIVE APPROACH’ The reigning NCAA champions take on their demanding schedule armed with a mix of seasoned veterans and fresh talent this season. The Cats have some big-name returners including Thornton, Leonard and senior attacker Erin Fitzgerald. All three players have been named to the preseason watchlist for the Tewaaraton Award. This is Thornton’s third straight year on the watch list. Fitzgerald ended the 2011-2012 season 14th in the country in goals scored with 56 goals in 23 games. Leonard was 19th in the nation in draw controls with 90 draw controls in 22 games. Leonard, one of NU’s most important players, has had a strong start to the season. She racked up 24 draw controls in the Cats’ first two games, including an NCAA single-game record-tying 15 against Southern California. The midfielder is now 2nd on NU’s career list for draw wins with 205 and tied for 12th all-time in Division I for draw wins. And after shifting slightly from her role as a more traditional defender to an all-around midfielder, Thornton became one of NU’s most valuable whole-field players. Last season she scored 33 goals. In her last chance to win the Tewaaraton Trophy, Thornton said she has bought into the team mentality coach Kelly Amonte Hiller emphasizes: one game at a time. “I honestly haven’t even thought about (the Tewaaraton Trophy),” Thornton said. “When you start reading hype, it’s just hype. I have to go

performance in Puerto Rico, but the final spot will be tightly contested between the two freshmen. Josh Jamieson and Andrew Whalen both have been the final starter this year. Jamieson was the fifth man in Puerto Rico, finishing 31st, and halved both matches at the Big Ten Match Play Championships, but Whalen finished third at Inverness and went 1-1-0 at the Big Ten Match Play Championships. Whalen’s average score is about a shot better than Jamieson’s, but Jamieson has more rounds of par or better this season. The Cats next hit the links on March 4 and 5 at the Fresno State Lexus Classic in Fresno, Calif. NU returns to California at the end of the month for the U.S. Intercollegiate hosted by Stanford before finishing the regular season at home on April 15 and 16 with the Kemper Sports Intercollegiate. joshuawalfish2014@u. northwestern.edu

once the gun goes off and once we put the team on the ground, she’ll find a way to sort of count for us and sort of grind it out,” Fletcher told NUsports. com. “She is excited. I can’t tell you the number of times she’s texted me or we’ve talked and she’s super excited about these last three of four months and being able to go out and accomplish great things.” Weaver will be one of two upperclassmen, along with junior Devon Brown, who will compete for the Cats this spring. NU will bring six golfers to every event even though most events only allow five golfers to be a part of the official team, because at the Big Ten Championships, six golfers

play.” Despite her veterans’ accomplishments on the field, Amonte Hiller said replacing former team leaders such as attacker Shannon Smith and midfielder Alex Frank will have to be a team effort. Smith ended last year’s season ranked 5th in the nation for goals scored with 66 in 23 games, and Frank caused 1.57 turnovers per game for the Cats. “I think it’s a collective approach,” Amonte Hiller said. “We’re using a collective approach rather than saying, ‘Hey you’re going to take the role of Shannon Smith’ – you can’t do that with those types of personalities.” Still, Amonte Hiller stressed that practice more than individual talent will determine her team’s success this season. “We’ve got some good people on both ends of the field and in the midfield … so we feel like we have some good components,” she said. In addition to the veteran leadership the three members of the watchlist and their classmates, senior midfielders Gabriella Flibotte and Amanda Macaluso, bring to the team, the Cats have new blood to add to the championship-winning squad – namely, a new goalkeeper. Sophomore goalie Bridget Bianco heads the team this year after threeyear starter Brianne LoManto graduated. Bianco recorded a career-high 6 saves against Massachusetts in early February, a stat she matched during NU’s loss to North Carolina. EXTENDED FAMILY When the Cats journeyed to Los Angeles in February to play the University of Southern California, the team saw some familiar faces on the sideline. Amonte Hiller, who is in her 12th year of coaching at NU, has made a noteworthy mark on the coaching world in women’s college lacrosse. Amonte Hiller has five former players who are now head Division I coaches, including Lindsey Munday, who was voted captain of Team USA in July and heads Southern California’s program,

will comprise the team with only four scores counting. Fletcher told NUsports.com she expects to bring three freshmen, along with sophomore Hana Lee, Brown and Weaver to the three remaining spring tournaments to help prepare the team for the conference championships. The Cats have already competed in one tournament this spring in Puerto Rico. NU finished in a tie for ninth as a team led by freshman Kaitlin Park. Park has had an impressive start to her NU career, with the second-best scoring average among those who have played in all five events so far. Fletcher told NUsports.com Park plays above her age level with two

top-10 finishes already in her career. “She’s an extremely hard worker and she’s a tremendous player,” Fletcher told NUsports.com. “She’s done a good job at settling into school and adjusting. She’s someone, as a freshman, that doesn’t look like a freshman out there on the golf course. She really stays in control and what I love about Kaitlin is, when she’s playing well, she’s not just trying to hurry up the hole, she’s trying to get as many under-par as she can.” joshuawalfish2014@u.northwestern.edu

Angela McMahon, who heads Massachusetts’ program, and Smith, who heads Hofstra University as the youngest head coach in Division I. Because of Southern California’s familiar staff, both Amonte Hiller and her players said being able to play in Los Angeles was a treat. “It’s amazing,” Amonte Hiller said. “It’s something that I’m definitely proud of – to know that I’m inspiring people to want to stay in the game and provide an experience for a new generation of student athletes..” With this weekend’s win over Vanderbilt, Amonte Hiller is one win away from 200 wins with a 199-31 career record. THE SEASON SO FAR The Cats (3-1, 1-0 ALC) steamrolled their way through games against N0.14 Massachusetts and Southern California in early February, and beat Vanderbilt, NU’s first American Lacrosse Conference opponent in the 2013 campaign, 15-8 two weeks later. The one blemish on the team’s young season is an 11-8 loss against No. 5 North Carolina (3-1) on Friday. In the Cats’ first loss since their 14-7 fall to Florida last May. But when talking mentality in general throughout the season, Amonte Hiller again mentions taking things one day at a time. “We focus on the game that we’re going to be playing,” Amonte Hiller said. “If you look ahead, you lose your opportunity to take advantage of today.” avawallace2015@u.northwestern.edu

More than a decade later, Cartwright has recorded about 125,000 hourly entries into his handheld global positioning device, tracing his own traveling habits and transforming the data into art. Cartwright showcased his work Sunday at the Evanston Art Center, as part of the center’s Evanston + Vicinity Biennial Solo Shows with two other artists. “It’s hard to have an accurate picture of what life is like just relying on perception My focus is … you really realize how sort of local you trying to find are,” Cartwright said ways to use pointing to photosonic forms. graphs of lasers that showed his traveling (It’s) what I’m habits around the Illiinterested in nois campus. “I’ve got now, but I’m not this much (data), it crazy to stop.” sure what my seems Chicago juror conclusion is.

The center will invite the University of Hip Hop in May to talk about graffiti writing as a cultural movement.

A new Northwestern Medicine study shows some United States veterans are being prescribed higher than recommended doses of medication for time periods that are too long, according to a University news release published Thursday. Veterans with gastroesophageal reflux disease are often overprescribed proton pump inhibitors, more commonly known by brand names such as Prilosec. This study, which examined 1,600 patients at a Veteran’s Association hospital in Hines, Ill., was the first to look at the initial doses given to veterans who suffer from the reflux disease. Proton pump inhibitors are one of the most widely used drugs in the U.S. According to the news release, the drug generates $11 billion in health costs each year. The main findings showed almost 25 percent of patients were taking daily dosages that were too high. A majority of veterans received more than a three-month starting supply and very few had reductions in high dose treatments more than two years after staring the initial prescription, according to the news release. “It seems that once these veterans are prescribed a PPI, they are rarely taken off of it,” said Andrew Gawron, a gastroenterology fellow at the Feinberg School of Medicine who co-wrote the study, in the release. “Two years after their initial prescription, most are still on the drug.” The lowest effective dose for the inhibitors lasts for one to two months, and if symptoms do not subside then other treatments should be considered, according the release. Gawron co-wrote the study with senior author Sherri LaVela, a research assistant professor at the Center for Healthcare Studies at Feinberg. The study, which used data from 2003 to 2009, was funded by a grant from the Veterans Affairs Health Services Research and Development Service. It was published Feb. 16 in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.

First pregnant man talks on social, legal challenges By SUYEON SON

the daily northwestern

Thomas Beatie is known by the media as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first pregnant man.â&#x20AC;? But it is more than just the pregnancy that has shaped his experiences, he said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that some hospitals labeled him as the mother on his childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth certificates. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that his father, with whom Beatie developed a strained relationship after his decision to undergo a female to male change, recently referred to Beatie as â&#x20AC;&#x153;his sonâ&#x20AC;? for the first time. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the memory of his first semblance of facial hair; how he felt his muscles respond to injections of testosterone; being addressed as â&#x20AC;&#x153;sirâ&#x20AC;? in the grocery store. Beatie came to Swift Hall on Saturday night and encouraged an audience of more than 50 people to â&#x20AC;&#x153;define normal for themselves.â&#x20AC;? Kaibigan, Northwesternâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Filipino cultural group, invited Beatie, who is one-fourth Filipino, to speak as part of their Fil*Anthrophy series, during which they dedicate their fundraisers to a specific cause. This eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proceeds went to Believe International, a non-profit that provides education to disadvantaged youth in the Philippines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His story is very unique in that he was so true to himself,â&#x20AC;? said Kaibigan co-president and Weinberg junior Angelica Cabrera. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was empowered and inspired by his story, and hopefully it will spark new conversations among the Northwestern community.â&#x20AC;? Beatie, who attracted the attention of Oprah Winfrey and other prominent media after he became pregnant by artificial insemination, has since become a reproductive rights and LGBT activist although he continues to face legal implications. He recently filed for divorce from his wife Nancy, but the Arizona judge in the case could not decide whether the marriage was valid. He questioned whether Beatie should be classified as a male or female and therefore deemed the marriage a possible domestic partnership. The case, which will be decided within the next week, will be sent to the Supreme Court if the judge determines the marriage is not valid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never thought that my gender was something that could be put on trial,â&#x20AC;? Beatie said. Beatie said he had felt like a boy since an early age. He remembered wanting to be just like his father and do the things that boys typically do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not that those inclinations, or likes alone,

made me feel like a boy,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something beyond that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was a masculine energy inside of me. â&#x20AC;&#x153; However, Beatieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father was insistent on playing up Beatieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s femininity, encouraging him to get into the modeling industry. Beatie, who was a contestant in the Miss Hawaii Teen USA pageant before cutting his hair off and assuming the male gender in his 20s, said he was glad he did it because it made him realize exactly what he was not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I had my mastectomy, literally and figuratively, I felt like a weight was lifted from my chest,â&#x20AC;? Beatie said. McCormick sophomore Jonathan Li, who attended the event, said he was glad for the opportunity to explore some of the social topics that he has not studied as an engineering student. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are still some issues that I am uncomfortable about, but he was a great speaker,â&#x20AC;? he said. However, not all have been receptive to Beatieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. Insensitive reactions often ensued, Beatie said, recalling how a gynecologist refused to see him because the doctor did not feel comfortable seeing a transgender patient. He fought rumors that he was creating a sensation for the money, though he said he only received a t-shirt, mug and hat for his interview with Oprah. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the media gets a hold of your story, they do with it what they want,â&#x20AC;? Beatie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some places, I was giving birth to kittens. I had to set the story straight.â&#x20AC;? Beatie, whose wife could not conceive, said one of the most frequent questions he received about his pregnancy was why he did not adopt or have a surrogate mother. He said it was nearly impossible for the couple to get a surrogate because doctors turned them away. Beatie also dealt with criticism from individuals who did not understand his decision to carry a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many people ask that of the next happily married couple, when they have a child, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they adopt?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When people ask that of me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you adopt?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a command.â&#x20AC;? The father of three children â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Susan, Austin and Jensen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reiterated that his struggle was everyone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a man on this planet who wanted a family, and I did what it took to have one,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that our dreams are universal: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.â&#x20AC;? sson@u.northwestern.edu

Funding From page 1

funding for A-status groups, ASG-recognized groups that have shown a history of merit, growth and ability to properly use funds. Funding for A-status student groups annually is governed primarily by the Student Activities Finance Committee, a board of 12 associate executive members that is chaired by Girish Pendse, ASG financial vice president. The committee advises the ASG Senate on how to allocate more than $1 million to about 40 groups every year. The committee is also must leave at least five percent of the spring funding for supplemental funding. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working on this committee is an impactful way to get involved with improving student group culture on campus,â&#x20AC;? said Pendse, a Weinberg senior. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People really love the groups that they work with and want them to succeed.â&#x20AC;? Spring funding is when the committee plans out its recommendation for the next academic year. At the beginning of Spring Quarter, the committee sends out funding applications. After applying, each group must meet with the committee and present a proposal. When all groups have met with the committee, SAFC members spend about two weeks debating how much funding each group needs and creating a final recommendation. Student groups are given funds depending on two main qualifications: merit and event attendance, said

Dog

From page 1 we can solve a lot of these problems.â&#x20AC;? Doug Gaynor, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parks, recreation and community services director, announced that city workers would increase sand cleaning of the dog beach to three times a week, and took an informal poll from attendees as to when would be the best time. The sand has to be cleaned regularly to eradicate E. coli

Budget

From page 1 of the student body. With the topics narrowed down to about 28 different concerns, UBPC then asked undergraduates to prioritize those needs in terms of how important they are and how much they would spend on them. Finally, the committee presented a report of these findings to the Budget and Planning Group, who decides if and how to implement changes. The committee doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t present all of the data, though, Eck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some things, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t propose merely because so and so has been spending an entire year and a half of their job on it and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to roll out,â&#x20AC;? Eck said. For Maggie Mantel, a Communication freshman, it was her problem with the dining halls that encouraged her to take the survey. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They label every condiment except for the

SAFC associate executive Jason Arnold, a McCormick sophomore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We base it off of the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual growth,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big boom and we reward them for that.â&#x20AC;? When the committee finalizes its budget proposal, it meets with the student groups for a final time to disclose its decisions. This gives groups a chance to ask questions and express concerns, but the committee usually stands by its recommendations, Arnold said. During the sixth week of Spring Quarter, the committee presents its proposal to the ASG Senate, which usually the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment, Pendse said. Last year, only about two groups showed up to the meeting to contest the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding allocation, Arnold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Generally, people believe in the system,â&#x20AC;? Pendse said. Masterson said an important part of that system is allowing people to come to Senate to contest the committeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; recommendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It keeps us in check,â&#x20AC;? she said. But not all students see this opportunity as a feasible option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about it or they just decide not to appeal,â&#x20AC;? Reyes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seemed like it was not actually something you could do.â&#x20AC;? junniekwon2015@u.northwestern.ed czak15@u.northwestern.edu bacteria, Gaynor explained. The department will issue a response to the meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestions in the coming weeks. Gaynor said most of the suggestions discussed at the meeting were feasible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Residents pay for the dog beach, so (city government) should be responsive to their suggestions,â&#x20AC;? Fiske said. ciaramccarthy2015@u.northwestern.edu

ambiguous white liquid-y goo,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could be white chocolate for all I know.â&#x20AC;? Eck said the UBPCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job of garnering the student bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerns is done for now. He said it is not known if or when improvements relating to accessibility of CAPS resources, improved financial aid or other issues will be implemented by the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Budget and Planning Group. Eck said part of the challenge is balancing the concerns of a smaller portion of the undergraduate population with those that impact a greater number of individuals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All these people who are running the University fundamentally really care about what undergraduates think and want,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working extremely hard to make the college experience as best as it can be.â&#x20AC;? sson@u.northwestern.edu

Wildcats take three of four over weekend after initial games cancelled

/The Daily Northwestern

THREE FOR ALL Sophomore third baseman Reid Hunter takes an at-bat. This weekend, the Cats won three of four games.

plagued the Cats. NU trailed Wisconsin by only 1 point with just over 10 minutes left but the Badgers went off on a 9-0 run, making use of backdoor cuts. The Cats went scoreless for six minutes. However, they rallied late in the first half. With just over two minutes left, the Cats drew within 7 on a 3-pointer by senior forward Kendall Hackney. NU sat in a zone defense and continued to rattle the Badger offense. Wisconsin shot only 2-7 from beyond the arc. NU scored 6 points in the last minute and 30 seconds. Sophomore guard Karly Roser hit a jumper at the halftime buzzer to bring NU within 4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If anyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the ball with seven seconds left on the clock, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to put it in Karlyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands,â&#x20AC;? Hackney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that she can score ... I was just waiting in the corner. I was just like sitting there. I knew she was going to take it and it was going ... We needed that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause that just continued the momentum over the second half for us. â&#x20AC;?

A last-minute trip to Nashville resulted in three wins and one loss for Northwestern (4-2). After being snowed out of a series with the University of Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., the Wildcats made last-minute travel plans to arrange a fourgame slate over three days of action. On Friday, the Cats defeated Ball State behind a second consecutive strong performance from ace Zach Morton. The right-hander hurled 7 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits, improving to 2-0 while maintaining his 1.29 ERA. Morton also contributed at the plate, driving home the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first run with an RBI double in the first inning and an RBI single in the fourth. Left fielder Walker Moses was 2-5 with a run scored and an RBI. NU split Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doubleheader, defeating Western Kentucky University but falling to Saint The Cats opened the second half with a full court press and picked up right where they left off in the first half. NU forced 6 Wisconsin turnovers in the first six minutes. The Cats finally found their hot hands and shot an impressive 66.7 percent from beyond the arc and 37.9 percent from the field. Freshman forward Lauren Douglas hit a layup to tie the game at 43. Both teams then went scoreless for four and a half minutes. Sophomore forward Alex Cohen missed a layup but Diamant came charging in to grab the rebound and make the shot, giving the NU the lead for the first time in the second half with just over five minutes left to play. The Badgers defended against the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; late game rally by hitting their free throws, shooting 5-5 from the foul line in the last five minutes of the game. However, Lyon was hot from the 3-point line, ensuring the Cats shut the door on the Badgers. The win improved their record to five conference wins, surpassing their win record from l last season. arielyong2009@u.northwestern.edu

Louis University. Morton was the Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hero again against the Hilltoppers, this time just with his bat. The fifthyear senior hit a three-run home run in the third inning, NUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first long ball of the season, to give the team a lead it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relinquish. Cats starter Brandon Magallones would last 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 6 hits and a walk and earning his first win of the season, as the team prevailed 4-3. The back end of the twin bill went less smoothly for NU, as the Billikens scored 3 runs in the second inning, 4 in the fourth and 3 in the seventh to grab an unimpeachable 10-0 lead that withstood a 4-run ninth inning Cats rally. Saint Louis bullied NU freshman starter Matt Portland, who left with two outs in the third inning, having allowed 7 base-runners plus a wild pitch and 2 balks, all of which resulted in 3 runs, only 1 earned. Junior Nick Friar, who relieved Portland, pitched 4 innings, allowing the Billikensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; other 7 runs. Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game paired the Cats with the Lipscomb Bisons, who proved no match for NU

Wildcats can’t stand the heat at Purdue Men’s Basketball

Northwestern falls to Boilmakers in fifth straight loss By AVA WALLACE

DOWN IN THE DEMPS Redshirt freshman Tre Demps drives to the hoop. Demps led Northwestern in scoring with 9 points in Sunday’s loss.

Northwestern made a total of 8 field goals in their first half against Purdue, and the rest of the game remained just as futile for the Wildcats. In their third straight contest ending with points in the low-40s, the Cats (13-15, 4-11 Big Ten) traveled to West Lafayette, Ind. to battle the Boilermakers (13-14, 6-8) on Sunday night with whoever was still healthy. Nothing seemed to go right for NU. The game ended in a 31-point loss for the visiting team, 43-74. Purdue had one of its strongest offensive showings this season in the second Cats-Boilermakers matchup of conference play. NU took the first contest between the two teams earlier this season 75-60. But that time, it was playing against a Purdue squad Boilermakers’ coach Matt Painter called “undisciplined.” Sunday night was a different story, as Purdue shot 52.9 percent from the field and 46.7 percent for threepointers. The Boilermakers also had 4 players with points in doubledigits. Guard Terone Johnson led his team with 22 points, including 12 three-pointers. Purdue was also able to achieve exactly what NU coach Bill Carmody

It was another nail-biter at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Saturday afternoon. But this time, Northwestern emerged victorious. NU (13-14, 5-9 Big Ten) battled back from a 10-point deficit in the first half to outlast Wisconsin (11-16, 3-11), taking a 54-52 win in a tough battle that went down to the wire. “(It was) a little crazy finIt was kind of ish there,” chaotic. It was coach Joe McKeown a really good s aid. “It win. You get this was kind like chalate in February of otic. It was (and) you just a r e a l l y want to get out good win. Yo u g e t of here with a W. this late in February, Joe McKeown, (and) you coach just want to get out of here with a W.” After trailing for the majority of the game, the Cats clung to a 1-point lead with one minute left. Wisconsin’s big center Cassie Rochel fouled out with 36 seconds left and senior forward Dannielle Diamant hit 1 of 2 free throws to give NU the lead, 54-52. With five seconds left, freshman forward Maggie Lyon stole the ball but missed the layup on the other end. Fans held their breath as Wisconsin’s Jacki Gulczynski caught

the outlet pass and sprinted toward NU’s basket — and missed a layup right at the buzzer. “When I got the steal, I went in hard to get a layup,” Lyon said. “In retrospect, I probably should have pulled it out cause we didn’t need the points but I thought I had a clear shot to put us ahead by 4 ... but unfortunately it didn’t go in. I think it’s a learning moment but it was exciting to get the steal and I know for next time I’ll just pull it out and not take the layup.” Lyon finished with 13 points and 3 steals. She leads the Big Ten in scoring among freshmen, averaging 12.7 points per game. “Maggie Lyon is, to me, one of the premiere freshmen in the country,” McKeown said. “She just kept making plays at the end of the game. Those threes that she made just were daggers and we really needed that so I was really proud of her.” The first half was a roller coaster for the Cats. Both teams went scoreless for the first three minutes until the Badgers put themselves on the board with a jumper by Tiera Stephen. The lead changed numerous times between both teams until about midway through the first half when cold shooting » See WOMEN’S BASKETBALL, page 7

Northwestern’s second away weekend this month was a tale of two cities. The Wildcats split their weekend games during the team’s road trip to No. 5 North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C., and Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tenn. The Wildcats (3-1) could not get a handle on the Tar Heels (3-1) during a rainy, Friday evening game. The story of the game’s first half was all about North Carolina – the Tar Heels put together a 7-1 lead for the Cats to overcome in the second half. Despite junior midfielder and draw specialist Alyssa Leonard dominating on the circle, NU had 9 turnovers in the first half and a yellow card, which gave North Carolina a man-up situation and a goal, and got only 6 ground balls compared to the Tar Heels’ 11. Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said her team dug themselves into too deep of a hole with their first-half flounders, especially against a team as highly ranked as the Tar Heels. “I thought we fought back but it was a little too late,” Amonte Hiller said. “We made some really poor plays in the first half, bad decisions, not coming up with the ball, and that’s going to eat away at you when you play good teams.” Senior midfielder Taylor Thornton did not want to blame some of the Cats’ slip-ups on weather – she mentioned the rain causing more turnovers than usual for both teams – and she praised her teammates for showing heart in their comeback. In the second half, NU out-shot North Carolina 12-8 and the teams had 4 goals a piece. Still, Amonte Hiller said her team was lacking the passion they usually started

said he wanted his team to prevent: shooting in the paint. The Boilermakers made 36 of their 74 points in close proximity to the basket, although Carmody wanted his team to force Purdue to take more shots from the perimeter. The Boilermakers’ offensive edge was also in part due to the Cats’ debilitated defensive effort. At one point, Purdue forward Travis Carroll had 2 shots and an offensive rebound in a single possession, without a serious challenge from NU. Moving slowly, the Cats could not keep up with the Boilermakers’ offensive movement and despite executing their 1-3-1 defensive zone, were not able to effectively guard Purdue’s jumpers. Senior guard Reggie Hearn, who led NU with 6 rebounds, said his team faltered on executing defensive nuts-and-bolts well, as they did throughout the beginning of the season. Freshman guard Tre Demps said the game outcome generally follows how the team’s defense performs, so it was difficult for NU to fight back after its slow start. “They came out and set the tone a little bit … and we couldn’t stop them defensively to start out,” Demps said. “Whenever we get a good start defensively we have a pretty good chance of winning the game.” NU also had 11 tunrovers, off of which Purdue was able to score 10 points. Offensively, the Cats’ young lineup seemed unsure on the court and hesitant in decisionmaking. They had only 4 points off of fast breaks and 8 points off of

43 Purdue

74 15 Boilermaker turnovers. No one on the NU squad scored in double digits. Demps led the team with 9 points. For the Cats, Demps said the Boilermakers’ defense was particularly hurtful on the all-important backdoor cuts and off-ball movement, two crucial aspects to NU’s slower-paced offense. Demps also mentioned offball movement as a particular aspect of the game the young team is still working on in practice. “They were … hitting us through our cuts, and those things make a difference because that is the difference between getting an open shot and not getting an open shot,” Demps said. The Cats threw up shot after missed shot, especially in the game’s second half. After talking about offensive woes – NU shot 28.6 percent from the field – an exhaustedsounding Hearn mentioned how much NU is missing graduate student forward Jared Swopshire who is out with an injured knee, and repeated what his team has adopted as a creed for this season. “I think as a team there’s not much more to be said than just keep fighting,” Hearn said. “You just have to fight, show some more heart.” avawallace2015@u.northwestern.edu

NU (3-1, 1-0 ALC) beat Vanderbilt (1-4, 0-1 ALC), 15-8. This time it was the Cats who had an unanswered hot streak — NU had a 7-0 run toward the beginning of the second half.
