worked every day of her life for veterans.

“I will always honor the sacrifices my buddies made to save my life, and that means that I will continue to work on the programs I have always worked on,” Duckworth said.

“I will never leave my vets behind because my buddies didn’t leave me behind.”

The whistleblowers in the lawsuit supporting Kirk were present at the debate.

Both Duckworth and Kirk are veterans. D uckworth served as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot through the Illinois National Guard during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Kirk was commissioned as an intelligence officer for the U.S. Navy Reserve on various missions until his retirement in 2013.

Duckworth said she created outreach programs for women serving in the military, established one of the first veteran hotlines in Illinois and has been working to

In the Ohio Republican primary, Weinberg junior Ellie Tyger voted for Gov. John Kasich. But when Kasich suspended his campaign, she never once considered voting for Donald Trump.

“I cannot vote for Donald Trump under any circumstance because of his insulting comments on just about every group of people besides white men,” she said.

Instead, Tyger said she will vote third party.

According to an ABC News/Washington Post poll, this year’s election features the two most unpopular candidates to run for president in the last 30 years. Due to this unfavorability, some students have turned to third-party candidates.

Medill freshman Jackson Elliott said although he is a Republican, he will not vote for either Trump or Hillary Clinton and needs to decide which third-party candidate to vote for.

From the beginning, Elliott said, it was clear there were problems with Trump.

“I thought if you’re on the train going in the right direction, but you know that the guy driving it is a bit off, it’s okay to keep on going,” Elliott said. “But when you discover … he has no sense of respect for anyone, he’s crazy and you have no clue what he’s going to do next, it comes to the point where you figure it’d be better to go out and walk it.”

Elliott said he will likely vote for Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson or Constitution Party nominee Darrell Castle. Green Party nominee Jill Stein was polling at 1 percent on the ABC News/Washington Post poll as of Thursday morning.

Medill sophomore Rob Schaefer said he supported Johnson at the beginning of the election season and throughout the summer.

“I pretty much considered every option I had that wasn’t Donald Trump,” Schaefer said.

When Schaefer told people he was strongly considering voting for Johnson, many tried convincing him to vote for either Trump or Clinton.

He said he was told voting for Johnson would be throwing his vote away, but he said he

Evanston workers will see their minimum wage raised to $13 an hour over the next four years, after the Cook County Board approved the incremental increase on Wednesday.

Starting in July, wages will increase to $10 an hour. The wage will rise a dollar a year for the next two years. In 2020, all of Cook County will have a $13-an-hour minimum wage.

Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said in a statement that no one could live on the current $8.25 minimum wage. “(The ordinance) phases in over time to provide flexibility for employers to adjust and minimize any impact on their bottom line,” Preckwinkle said. “There will always be opposition to proposals like this … At $13 an hour, no one will get rich. But that pay rate will help people pay their bills.”

Republican candidates come to NU Tucker, Lasonde talk challenges of running against incumbents

By MADELEINE FERNANDO

the daily northwestern @madeleinemelody

Jessica Tucker and Joan McCarthy Lasonde may be running for office as Republicans, but they both make it know that they do not let their party allegiance dictate their beliefs.

On Thursday, Tucker, a candidate for state representative, and Lasonde, a candidate for the U.S. House

of Representatives, discussed treating issues individually rather than simply mimicking their party’s stance.

Roughly 30 people attended the event put on by Northwestern University College Republicans and led by political science Prof. Laurel Harbridge Yong.

The two candidates described the challenges of running against incumbent opponents. Both candidates are running against politicians who have been

in office for many years, which they said makes it difficult to receive funding for their campaigns and raise awareness for the issues they support.

Bienen sophomore Grant Papastefan, College Republicans secretary of events and a former Daily staffer, said

he wanted to invite Lasonde and Tucker to speak because their views align more with the NU student body and the Evanston community than people would expect from Republican nominees. “ W hen all (College Republicans) don’t necessarily support Trump … we can get behind the local races that really impact us a lot more in this community than the presidential » See REPUBLICAN, page 10

Know your ballot: Tucker versus Gabel Former Winnetka village president challenges current Illinois representative

By NORA SHELLY

daily senior staffer @noracshelly

Fiscal responsibility, gun control and protecting the environment are at the top of the election platforms for both Illinois Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) and her opponent former Winnetka village president Jessica Tucker.

Gabel and Tucker are squaring off for the 18th District seat in the Illinois House of Representatives. Gabel was appointed to the seat in 2010. Tucker was a village trustee for Winnetka and then village president, totalling eight years of government service in the village.

Both candidates have law degrees, and Gabel spent more than 20 years before going to Springfield as the executive director of the non-profit Illinois Maternal and Child Health Coalition.

Tucker said at a League of Women Voters forum earlier this month that she feels balancing the budget is the most important job of the next 18th district representative. Tucker is critical of the six-month stopgap spending bill that was passed in June.

“We’ve been waiting for years for a budget,” she said.

“You can see how its decimated our state, when you don’t have the fiscal house in order.”

While Tucker criticized Gabel for supporting the stopgap spending bill, the current representative said she voted for the bill because it was a necessity.

The bill ended the year-long budget impasse, which has left some social service agencies in Illinois without full state support for months and has threatened education funding.

“For me, I really look at people who were suffering without having a budget. I was concerned about higher education, I was concerned about our schools not starting on time,” Gabel said at the forum. “I said let’s at least appropriate some of the money because we know we’re going to have revenue coming in.”

Rep. Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston) (above) and former Winnetka village president Jessica Tucker (below) are running for the 18th District Illinois House of

Representatives seat. Both candidates say they are focused on bringing an end to the budget crisis in the state.

Both candidates say they are focused on bringing an end to the budget crisis in the state. tucker_madeleinefernando_webMadeleine Fernando/The Daily Northwestern Gabel said legislators worked together on ending the budget stalemate, but a compromise was held up in the governor’s office.

Both candidates support some gun-control reforms.

On the platform section of her campaign website, Tucker says she supports background checks, limits on gun show and straw purchases as well as stopping guns from getting in the hands of mentally ill people.

Gabel has co-sponsored two bills addressing gun control. One limits the ability of mentally ill people to acquire firearms, and the other aims to crack down on gun sellers by requiring video surveillance in stores and background checks for employees.

Gabel also said at the voters’ forum that she introduced a bill introducing term limits for legislative leaders. Although the bill “went nowhere,” Gabel said leadership term limits were needed at the state level.

“Nobody should have that much power for that length of time,” she said.

Tucker agreed, although went a step further in voicing support for term limits for legislators as well. The Winnetka village president had honorary term limits, Tucker said, which she believes is the right path.

“Ten years in office is plenty of time to effectuate change and the policies and strategies that you’re interested in,” she said.

Apart from gun control and fiscal responsibility, both Gabel and Tucker said they support pension reform and environmental work. Gabel is a chief cosponsor of the Clean Jobs Bill — which hopes to create more than 32,000 jobs in environmentally friendly fields.

Tucker said she worked as village president to expand forestry services and believes environmental work comes from “the bottom up.”

In keeping with her “socially moderate” platform, Tucker’s platform supports abortion rights, as does Gabel’s.

On school funding, Tucker and Gabel both said the state is too reliant on property taxes.

Although some area Republicans criticized Gabel for supporting Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan, communications chair for the Democratic Party of Evanston Alex Morgan said electing Tucker to the General Assembly would be a “rubber stamp” for Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner’s agenda.

“In my view, that is not good for the state of Illinois,” he said.

Christian Sorensen, Gabel’s campaign manager, said in response to criticism that Gabel votes the party line that she has worked well with both former Gov. Pat Quinn, a Democrat, and Rauner. As for voting frequently in line with other Democrats, Sorensen said Gabel is keeping in line with her constituents.

“Evanston tends to lean Democrat,” he said.

Tucker, on the other hand, said she ran and governed as village president of Winnetka in a nonpartisan fashion and that she will more independent in her voting patterns.

T.J. Brown, the communications director for the New Trier Republican Organization, said he trusted Tucker to represent local municipalities in Springfield in an independent manner.

“On the North Shore, you’d like to think you can insulate yourself from the problems in Springfield, but that’s quite obviously not true if you look at property taxes, if you look at the caliber of services we get out of the state,” he said.

Brown praised Tucker for being a “reformer” who could help limit the migration of Illinois residents out of the state. The state currently has one of the highest population decreases of all states.

The results of the election will be decided Nov. 8. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

Evanston home damaged in structure fire Thursday afternoon

A northeast Evanston home sustained moderate damage today after a fire on Thursday afternoon.

Evanston Fire Department crews were dispatched to the home, 2428 Prospect Ave., at just before 12:30 p.m, a news release said. The fire appears to have started in the basement and spread upwards through the home’s interior walls.

Fire crews from additional municipalities were called in to help stop the blaze, and the fire was contained within 15 to 20 minutes after the initial response, Evanston Fire Department division chief Paul Polep said.

“Everyone worked pretty fast and aggressively to extinguish it,” he said.

No one was injured in the fire, Polep said, and no one was in the house when crews arrived. The investigation into the cause is ongoing, but department officials believe it could have been an electrical fire.

Speechwriter talks civic engagement

By HANNAH BROWN

the daily northwestern @kwhannahbananas

Political speechwriter and author Eric Liu called for higher Asian-American civic engagement at a talk Thursday night, drawing on his experience as a second-generation Chinese American.

At a Chinese Students Association event held at Harris Hall, Liu spoke about the challenges faced by many Asian-American students and citizens as they strive for social advancement.

He said his parents would call him by the Mandarin word for “useless” as a mark of the privilege he had been born into, which encouraged him to not take his circumstance for granted, Liu said. Even after getting accepted to Yale University, Liu said he didn’t discover his path in life until he was well into his freshman year.

“Early on, I sensed that I had only had the dumb luck to have been born in the United States,” Liu said. “I had really been given everything, and my parents made that clear.”

Liu said he was raised in an apolitical environment and was not familiar with the political arena until he interned for then-Oklahoma Sen. David Boren during the spring of his freshman year.

“It’s no wonder he’s the president of Oklahoma University now because as a senator, he was a real teacher and mentor,” he said. “Even (when I was) a lowly intern, he cultivated in me a sense of the importance of civil service through political involvement.”

After college, Liu worked for Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign before becoming chief speechwriter. Later, Liu founded Citizen University — an organization focused on promoting active civic engagement on a national level — and went on to become the executive director of the Aspen Institute Citizenship and American Identity Program, write for CNN

Author Eric Liu speaks at an event put on by the Chinese Students Association. Liu, former speechwriter for Bill Clinton, spoke about citizenship and identity.

and author several books.

Rex Tai (Weinberg ‘15) said Liu’s wellframed understanding of a citizen’s role in politics drove his message home.

“It really stuck out to me how comprehensive his view of life and civic responsibility is,” Tai said. “To him, it’s not just a top-down understanding.”

Weinberg sophomore Nina Zhou said one of the most valuable parts of Liu’s talk was his acknowledgement of everyone’s individual power to make change.

Liu said it was the responsibility of every American to take an active role in politics.

Liu told the audience it doesn’t matter what

their opinions are, but they have a duty to form opinions.

“And not a weak, surface-level opinion,” he said. “One as rigorous and thoughtful and deeply researched as you as a student at Northwestern are capable of.”

CSA program chair Chris Yang told The Daily he wanted to bring Liu to speak not only for his eloquence but also because his message is accessible to all students.

“Events like these aren’t just for people of Chinese or Asian descent, but for anyone who wants to experience Asian culture,” Yang said. hannahbrown2020@u.northwestern.edu

DUB DUB DEBATE Northwestern holds its week-long Wildcat Welcome orientation every September, ushering a new class of students through a variety of programs. Below, two columnists weigh in on the orientation’s strengths and weaknesses.

Responding to Wildcat Welcome critics as a PA DANNY COOPER

DAILY COLUMNIST

I served as a Peer Adviser this year, which means you can make a few assumptions about me right off the bat.

Yes, I walk around everywhere with that neon backpack from Uncle Dan’s. Yes, I can and will do the New Student Dance at a moment’s notice. And yes, I love Wildcat Welcome so much I decided to go through it twice (once as a participant, last year as a PA) and hope to do it again.

Perhaps that is why I felt Matt Lieberman’s recent column in the Daily missed the point. I don’t disagree with his point that the days are exhausting, particularly as a PA. But criticizing the schedule of Wildcat Welcome ignores orientation’s very purpose of filling new students’ days with bonding and programming. The busy days

are purposeful, alleviating first-week homesickness and instilling a sense of community.

The notion that new students are left too tired to function at the beginning of fall quarter not only isn’t entirely true, it ignores the fact that, without orientation, these students would enter classes without an introduction to all the opportunities Northwestern provides. And if managing free time is hard during Wildcat Welcome, it’s only going to get more difficult from there.

Further, Lieberman wrote that students who do pre-orientation programs such as Freshman Urban Program or P-Wild need a “well-deserved break.” I understand that those programs are tiring; I did Catalyst and had a wonderful, exhausting time. But no one forces students to participate in these programs, and we shouldn’t change the university-wide orientation program just to accommodate the students who are able to access these rewarding (but expensive) trips.

Surely there are things I would change about Wildcat Welcome. Some of the programming is

unnecessary, and certain TNDs could be formatted and executed better. Wildcat Welcome attempts to address alcohol and drug use at Northwestern in a realistic way, though it admittedly doesn’t always hit home for all students.

Lieberman suggested Wildcat Welcome should create more space for students to learn how to balance going out and completing responsibilities, saying NU students don’t have to be “running on empty.” Well, I agree. NU students don’t have to be running on empty: Students shouldn’t be going out every night during Wildcat Welcome.

More than anything, I think Lieberman misunderstood the primary goal of Wildcat Welcome: to show every new student what I see as our core values as an NU community. Though TNDs can be draining and the conversations are often difficult, they are a necessary part of exposing first-year students and transfers to the type of school NU aspires to be: one in which dialogues and understanding are crucial. Cutting these programs for the sake of time misses the point.

He suggested shortening Wildcat Welcome to three days long like the orientation program at the University of Illinois, but that plan, too, is off base. Stuffing TNDs, PA group bonding and other activities that define Wildcat Welcome into three days would make the experience far less impactful.

I’ve seen Wildcat Welcome from both sides.

Last year, I witnessed how hard PAs work to make it a special experience. It is tiring, there is no question, but it’s a necessary length in order to provide an introduction to what makes the NU community unique. The ultimate goal of Wildcat Welcome is to cement and improve community, though participants might not be able to see it at the time.

New students should be introduced to local area LUKAS STACHTIARIS

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Throughout Wildcat Welcome, I found myself in awe of the constant activities Northwestern used to welcome new students. I was initially skeptical as to whether a full eight days was really necessary –– but by the end, I was impressed by how meticulously NU ensured that new students were familiar with and engulfed into campus. NU was sure to introduce students to the new and scary experience of college with an indepth orientation experience.

However, I couldn’t help but feel that an entirely different aspect of the “home” piece was missing from the Wildcat Welcome experience. The program neglected to introduce students to Evanston and Chicago and entirely avoided educating students on the history of their new hometowns. Given that the University created a program with eight

days of introduction to campus, a considerable portion of that time could easily be dedicated to introducing students to what surrounds NU. Welcoming students into the school community without introducing them to the region that they live in is limiting and perpetuates the divide between the university and the surrounding town. NU offers a number of clubs and opportunities to explore Chicago, such as the Engage Chicago summer program, and give back to the community, such as Supplies for Dreams.

Yet the university forces students to find these opportunities by ourselves. Introducing students to the area that hosts our school and familiarizing us with the social issues of each region is vital to the NU experience.

We should not merely have superficial interactions with Chicago nor should we limit our knowledge of the city’s issues to a surface level. A required True Northwestern Dialogue in Chicago after Wildcat Welcome ended did try to increase off-campus orientation programming, however this exposure was minimal. Some groups went to

the Art Institute or Millennium Park, but a few hours is not enough to qualify as real engagement with a city rich with history and just miles south of NU. A vast number of the most exciting opportunities presented by attending this school happen beyond campus boundaries.

Whether it be community service, entertainment or interviewing residents for a class, a significant portion of the student experience revolves around off-campus events. If the school were to better incorporate Evanston and Chicago into Wildcat Welcome, it would encourage student involvement and spark excitement for community-based projects to support these culturally-rich and diverse areas.

Although NU offers the Freshman Urban Program, which allows incoming new students to explore Chicago and Evanston and teaches them about the cities, many new students are hesitant to sign up for a pre-orientation program or prefer pursuing a separate program that piques their interest. It’s hard for the University to expect an incoming student with little knowledge of

the school to pursue one of these programs.

Furthermore, students should not have to choose between the only opportunity to learn about our home city and the other preorientation programs.

For many students, a pre-orientation program is inaccessible due to time, travel or financial cost. Knowledge regarding Evanston and Chicago is important to every student at NU — not just those who are able to pursue it through FUP. FUP-like programming integrated into the schedule of Wildcat Welcome could help students better engage with our surroundings, giving us the language and tools to engage with Chicago and Evanston productively.

NU recieves $5 million to grow Business Institutions Program

The Kapnick Foundation donated $5 million to Weinberg College for Arts and Sciences for the creation of the Harvey Kapnick Center for Business Institutions and for the expansion of the Business Institutions Program.

The foundation’s gift is named after the late Chicago businessman Harvey Kapnick and is part of NU’s “We Will” campaign, a news release said. It brings the amount of campaign money benefiting the Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences to more than $250 million.

With the donation, NU will create an endowed professorship, the Harvey Kapnick Professor of Business Institutions. Economics Prof. William Rogerson –– the current Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor –– will receive this professorship and will become director of the center.

The Business Institutions Program is a minor in Weinberg, which connects students’ main field of study to management, accounting and leadership opportunities.

According to the news release, the BIP is the most popular minor at NU. This is the second professorship endowed by the Kapnick family. The first chair –– established in 1988 –– is also named the Harvey Kapnick Professor of Business Institutions and

is currently held by Ronald Braeutigam, associate provost for undergraduate education and a faculty member in the economics department.

University President Morton Schapiro said in a news release that he has known the Kapnick family for years and is thrilled to see the foundation build upon Harvey Kapnick’s legacy as an “insightful and highly ethical business leader.”

Scott Kapnick, Harvey Kapnick’s son, said his family is delighted to continue supporting the university.

“Our hope is that this gift will allow more students to benefit from the broad, interdisciplinary perspective that will prepare them as visionary leaders in their careers,” he said in the release.

NoteShark to expand services from sellling class notes, study materials to NU students

By KRISTINA KARISCH

the daily northwestern @kristinakarisch

After its launch at the end of Spring Quarter, the student-run service NoteShark is considering shifting its main focus toward selling textbook summaries.

NoteShark is meant to provide a service similar to SparkNotes, Medill sophomore Sidney Thomas, a NoteShark member, said.

When it launched, NoteShark sold class notes and study materials.

It will continue to provide these resources but plans to pilot a program in which students would be hired to take notes on their textbooks, summarize them and add their own insight, said McCormick junior Wyatt Cook, co-founder of NoteShark.

The summaries would then go on NoteShark’s website and be available for purchase, he said.

The current plan is to run a trial phase during Winter Quarter with one class, Cook said.

He added that the trial would work best with a large lecture-based course such as the psychology class, so there would be a high demand for course materials.

Cook said he and his team check the notes the group sells for quality and clarity before putting them up for sale.

Before NoteShark launched last spring, the team consulted with lawyers at The Garage who specialize in patent and intellectual property law to make sure the business follows legal regulations.

However, Cook acknowledged “being in the right legally does not always correspond with being in the moral (right).”

NoteShark has received mixed reactions from faculty. Cook said some have expressed support, while others have concerns.

The topic came up at a Faculty Senate meeting last spring. Religious Studies Prof. Laurie Zoloth, president of Faculty Senate, told The Daily in an email that many faculty members were unaware NoteShark existed.

“The faculty understand we have a duty to create and disseminate new knowledge — but many told us that having their ideas copied,

Individual faculty members need to explain this to their classes, on the syllabus and give the rules for how to use the class materials, and the limits of that use.

Laurie Zoloth, Faculty Senate president

posted and sold on the internet was not the way that academic ideas were shared,” Zoloth said.

“Individual faculty members need to explain this to their classes, on the syllabus and give the rules for how to use the class materials, and the limits of that use.”

Cook said the ideal customer for NoteShark is someone who pays attention in lecture and puts work into their classes, but has trouble taking notes for the entirety of the lecture. The service’s goal is to fill that gap and allow students to come to class, absorb the material and grasp important concepts without scrambling to write down every part of the professor’s lecture and presentation, he said.

Professors can choose to have notes from their classes removed from NoteShark if they request it with the team, Cook said.

Demand for the notes is highest during midterms and finals, he said.

“People realize when finals hit that they didn’t take notes or read the book often enough,” he said. “They need a way to catch up because people here care about their grades a lot, and they know that spending a little bit of money, a couple of dollars, is going to help them get a better grade. That’s worth it for them.” kristinakarisch2020@u.northwestern.edu

NORTHWESTERN WILDCATS (4-3) vs.

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES (6-1)

DAILY COLUMNIST

As a fellow member of the class of 2017, I’ve always enjoyed watching Harris just a little bit more than his teammates. He saw the field right away as a true freshman, and was a player I could follow all through my time at NU. Harris always impressed, making a mark right away as a kick returner and gradually growing into one of the best corners in the Big Ten. After a third-team all-conference mention at the end of last year, he was certainly primed for a big senior season.

Even the National Football League seemed within his grasp.

But Harris provided some of the most haunting moments I’ve seen in football.

The head-to-head hit he suffered in 2014 against Penn State sucked the air out of the 100,000-person stadium. Harris instantly went limp and lay down on the turf for several minutes; it seemed miraculous he was cleared after the game to travel home with the team.

The guilt I felt in that moment — enjoying football from the safety of a press box while somebody like Harris put his health and well-being on the line — still sticks with me. It’s bad enough to see all of the nationally-televised head-cracking that goes on every Saturday and Sunday, and it’s even worse when it happens to a classmate and peer.

Of course I continued to watch football and continued to pull (even harder) for Harris, but reflecting on that moment, I’m relieved Harris has now come to the sensible conclusion of walking away from the game.

His choice may have been illusory, but his courage is real. Many in his position might have tried to soldier on, at the enormous cost of their short-term health and long-term quality of life. For Harris to call it quits — on his own volition, if not necessarily on his own terms — shows a level of maturity we should all look up to.

I won’t get to watch Harris anymore, but I’ve never been rooting for him more than I am now.

OHIO STATE

The end of a career is often framed as a choice, when really there’s no choice at all.

Whether its advancing age or, in Matthew Harris’ case, a collection of injuries, the decision to retire is all too often forced upon us.

Such were the circumstances when Harris, formerly a senior defensive back, announced Monday he was stepping away from football. The decision came as a result of a litany of injuries Harris compiled over his four year as a Wildcat, including a concussion sustained earlier this season.

Harris faced a difficult choice, to be sure, but that choice was probably the only reasonable option available to him. Sacrificing long term health and happiness for a final year on the football team sounds like a difficult bargain to accept, to say the least.

“Matthew and I have sat down and talked at least once a week, not only about short term but also long term,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said, discussing Harris’ decision.

“I think it’s the right thing.”

NU, Ohio State on divergent paths since 2013

By BEN POPE

daily senior staffer @benpope111

Saturday’s matchup of Northwestern and Ohio State will mark the 1,120th day since the last football game between the two universities.

That’s 1,120 days since ESPN’s “College GameDay” visited Evanston, and a national audience watched the Wildcats come within six minutes of earning their first top-five win in 54 years.

That’s 1,120 days since, in the words of nowsenior defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo, “people that didn’t know about Northwestern knew about Northwestern.”

And that’s 1,120 days that have reestablished the longstanding divide between two programs that, on one chilly night in 2013, squarely traded blow after blow until the closing minutes of the visitors’ back-and-forth 40-30 victory.

For 1,120 days ago — October 5, 2013 — NU and Ohio State laid joint claim to the center of the college football universe.

Thousands of students packed the Lakefill at dawn for the lone appearance of the “GameDay” pregame show in Evanston in the past 21 years, then thousands more crammed into Ryan Field for a primetime matchup between the No. 15 Cats and No. 4 Buckeyes.

Announcer Brent Musberger opened his

broadcast on ABC by calling it “one of the biggest games ever at Northwestern,” and 6.6 million people watched the proceedings, more than twice as many viewers as watched the other primetime games on FOX and NBC. NU nearly won what was seen as a matchup of premier Big Ten contenders, leading by as many as 10 points in the second half and maintaining that edge until future NFL running back Carlos Hyde scored the go-ahead touchdown for Ohio State with just 5:22 left.

“That was a pretty intense game because there’s a lot of guys on this team who are from the state of Ohio, and sometimes guys play with a chip on their shoulders because they didn’t necessarily get that Ohio State offer that they deserved,” said Odenigbo, the only active NU player who appeared in the game.

Despite the loss, the Cats’ earned the respect of the nation and of their high-caliber opponent, with legendary Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer praising NU’s “borderline great players” and “scheme that’s hard to defend” in his postgame comments.

And then the 2013 season — and any semblance of similarity between the two teams — collapsed.

The Cats were throttled 35-6 by Wisconsin the following week and then lost their next five games as well, with only a meaningless seasonending win over Illinois saving them from an 0-8

conference record.

The time since has only exacerbated the schism.

In the past 1,120 days, NU has put together a 20-19 record, played in front of a total of 832,844 fans at Ryan Field and received four commitments from four- or five-star recruits.

In the same time period, Ohio State has tallied a 38-5 record, captured the 2014 national title, played in front of more than 2.2 million fans at Ohio Stadium and hauled in 67 four- or five-star recruits, including seven that also held scholarship offers from the Cats.

Asked Monday if he’s ever beaten Meyer in a recruiting battle, coach Pat Fitzgerald gave a quick and decisive answer: “No.” “That would be 0-for-a-decade,” Fitzgerald added. “Sounds like my record against them.”

In fact, it sounds almost like NU’s record against them for the past half-century. The Buckeyes boast a record of 34-2 against the Cats dating back to 1964, including wins by 35 or more points in the two schools’ last four consecutive meetings prior to the 2013 thriller.

The odds are stacked against that record being cut to 34-3 this weekend. Despite Ohio State’s stunning 24-21 loss at Penn State last week, the betting line for Saturday’s contest opened at 23.5 points, then moved to 27.5 points, and ESPN projections give NU a mere 6.6 percent chance of winning. Fitzgerald openly lauded how talented the Buckeyes are.

“I wish I could say there are 11 NFL players (on their roster),” he said. “There’s not. There’s like everybody that goes on the field is a potential NFL player. If I were to mention all the starters, then I would be doing an injustice to the backups.”

Millions will watch on ESPN’s national broadcast at 2:30 p.m. this weekend — certainly a large audience for the Cats, who haven’t played on a network more prominent than ESPNU or Big Ten Network yet this season.

But gone is the same fanfare that enveloped the 2013 game.

No matter how many local friends and family Odenigbo and the 20 other Ohio natives on the Cats’ current roster bring along to Columbus on Saturday, few of the 100,000 people who will fill Ohio Stadium will believe the Cats have any shot of keeping pace. The thousands of raucous NU students won’t be there. Brent Musburger won’t be there. The focus of the college football nation won’t be there.

Only Fitzgerald, Odenigbo and the rest of the Cats will, seeking to defy the odds and reverse the course of the past 1,120 decisive days.

“I don’t know how we’re going to block them,” Fitzgerald said bluntly. “But we’ve got to do everything we can.” benjaminpope2019@u.northwestern.edu

Injuries, Harris retirement force other Cats to step up

By MAX SCHUMAN

daily senior staffer @maxschuman28 maxschuman28

Last season, Northwestern had one of the most trustworthy cornerback groups in college football.

With two All-Big Ten starters, Nick VanHoose and Matthew Harris, and a third corner, Keith Watkins, who could start on most Big Ten teams, the Wildcats enjoyed a talented and seasoned trio that routinely shut down opponents’ passing games. That foundation helped NU to a top-10 finish in total defense while allowing just five touchdowns through the air — best in the country.

But with VanHoose lost to graduation and Watkins lost to a year-ending knee injury prior to the season, the Cats came into 2016 missing much of last season’s nucleus in the secondary.

And although Harris had been out with his own injury since the second week of the season, the senior’s announcement of his retirement Monday ensured last year’s starting cornerback corps will not have a role to play for the remainder of this season.

Instead, the Cats have been reliant on youth on the outside — and have had to live with the ups and downs that have followed.

“We don’t have anyone else, so we don’t have a choice,” coach Pat Fitzgerald said of the young players on his squad, like the ones forced into action at corner. “Your tactics, the way you do things, sometimes have to change.”

The one constant presence on the field has been sophomore Montre Hartage. Once expected to be the team’s first corner off the bench, Hartage has instead started every game this season.

He has made some timely plays — an endzone interception against Illinois State, a nolook pick downfield in last week’s win over Indiana — but admitted he’s just settling in after being thrust into a key role.

“It was kind of shaky at first,” he said. “I’ve calmed down now, playing relaxed and playing for fun.”

The spot across from Hartage has been a revolving door, thanks to injuries. With Harris out, redshirt freshman Trae Williams stepped in and has started four games. When Williams missed the game against the Hoosiers, fellow redshirt freshman Alonzo Mayo started in his place.

After Mayo went down with an injury of his own in the second quarter of that game, junior Marcus McShepard, who had switched from cornerback to receiver in the offseason before switching back mid-season to bolster the secondary’s depth, was pressed into action.

McShepard played in every game in 2015 in a reserve role and was solid in helping hold Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow to just 5.4 yards per pass attempt.

“I knew the playbook. I knew the different coverages. So I was more than willing to move back,” McShepard said. “I just wanted to get a chance to get on the field as much as possible.”

Williams has been ruled out for Saturday’s matchup at No. 6 Ohio State, and Mayo is not listed on the two-deep depth chart for the game, leaving Hartage and McShepard to take on the Buckeyes’ aerial attack. Though Ohio State’s passing game is far from the scariest part of its offense — the team has rushed for more yards than it has gained through the air this season — the Buckeyes have a talented quarterback in J.T. Barrett and athletes for him to throw to.

Meanwhile, NU has proven vulnerable in the secondary at times and is giving up 282 passing yards per game. With Harris now out permanently, and other injuries still nagging them, the Cats will need to count on their remaining pieces to get the job done.

Hartage said staying focused through the constant shuffling this season has been hard, but the expectations of the corners remain the same.

“Everyone in the (defensive back) room has the same expectation: to go out and win their battle,” he said. “Whenever a guy steps out there, he’s just got to be ready to go.”

Study: less student car ownership due to Zipcar

By GABBY GROSSMAN

the daily northwestern @gabbygrossman13

Zipcar, a car sharing company with 12 vehicles available on or near Northwestern’s campus, has reduced the number of individually-owned vehicles on college campuses nationwide, according to a recent study.

During the study led by Susan Shaheen, professor

and co-director of the Transportation Sustainability Research Center at University of California, Berkeley, researchers partnered with Zipcar to survey 10,040 current university students, staff and faculty at more than 500 campuses affiliated with Zipcar in North America. The results showed a 5.3 percent reduction in personal car ownership among Zipcar users on Midwestern, suburban college campuses like NU. “Carsharing shifts the fixed costs of auto ownership to variable costs on a per trip basis,” Shaheen told The Daily. “It allows some college (and) university

market members to sell or avoid a personal vehicle purchase due to access to a shared vehicle fleet on an as-needed basis.”

Adam Stocker, research associate at the Transportation Sustainability Research Center, said the study explored two aspects contributing to a net change in car ownership: vehicles purchased by individuals and personal vehicles sold. Researchers found a decrease in vehicles purchased and an increase in personal vehicles sold, he said.

Stocker said 4.6 percent of survey recipients

Colin Boyle/The Daily Northwestern

A Zipcar is parked on Northwestern’s campus. According to a recent study, the car sharing company has reduced the number of individually-owned vehicles on college campuses nationwide.

responded that they would have purchased a car in the absence of Zipcar, and only 0.6 percent said they would have sold their own cars.

“This makes sense because 90 percent of our respondents were students, and generally as a college student in the United States, your need for a vehicle is pretty low,” Stocker said. “Students aren’t necessarily going to sell that many vehicles if they don’t have many vehicles to sell in the first place.”

In decreasing personal car ownership, Zipcar aims create more room for other university purposes, said Lindsay Wester, public relations manager at Zipcar.

“Zipcar is definitely freeing up space on college campuses,” Wester said. “This is space that could be otherwise used for classroom buildings, science labs and even athletic fields.”

Wester said data from Shaheen’s study shows 30 percent of students surveyed would have brought a car if Zipcar were not available, substantially increasing campus congestion.

Weinberg junior Matthew Xu uses Zipcar to get groceries and go to restaurants in downtown Evanston.

“I actually did think about bringing my car to campus this quarter, but then there’s insurance, gas money and getting it here,” Xu said. “Since Zipcar is so convenient, I decided to stick with just Zipcar.”

Zipcar focuses on vehicle efficiency, both in the form of spatial conservation and reduction of costs, Wester said. A world where car share users outnumber car owners is the company’s ultimate goal, she said.

Jane Grover, former 7th Ward alderman, expressed her own concerns about space congestion in the city.

“I know we are pretty densely parked in parts of Evanston, including close to campus, so any way that you can avoid having to own a car at Northwestern University, I think would be a good thing,” Grover said. “Ride sharing allows you to do that.” ggrossman@u.northwestern.edu

NU program uses speech therapy to fight dementia Project helps those with dementia regain verbal skills

By RYAN WANGMAN

the daily northwestern @ryanwangman

A new speech therapy program aimed at helping people with dementia regain control of their verbal skills significantly improved patients’ language abilities, according to a Northwestern study.

The program, called “The Communication Bridge,” was designed by a team including Feinberg Prof. Emily Rogalski, lead author of the study and instructor at the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer’s Disease Center.

It targets a specific type of dementia — primary progressive aphasia — that results in individuals’ communication skills deteriorating first.

“We’ve probably all experienced that tip of the tongue phenomenon where we can’t remember someone’s name, or we can’t remember that word that we’re trying to retrieve,” Rogalski said. “These individuals experience that kind of problem all the time.”

The program used the internet to deliver care and reach a more widespread patient base, Rogalski said.

It consisted of eight 1-hour videoconference treatment sessions with a speech-language pathologist, followed by two post-enrollment evaluations to determine the duration of therapy benefit.

The study was designed to help participants absorb words relevant to their daily lives, said Becky Khayum, a speech-language pathologist and consultant on the study.

Diane Pugh, a participant in the study, practiced retrieving the names of flowers and plants in her garden and said she is more confident as a result of the program.

“The thing that has been the most helpful is to be able to (identify) photographs of different things,” Pugh said. “Like, ‘What was that

plant in my garden?’ or ‘What was I using in the kitchen?’ or ‘What was my cousin’s name?’”

Rogalski said in the past it was hard for many patients to find speech-language pathologists who are able to treat degenerative diseases.

There has also been a misconception that speech-language therapy is not helpful for individuals with dementia, she said.

Khayum said there is still a stigma in society for people diagnosed with dementia. A diagnosis can lead individuals to lose confidence and become hyper-aware of their inability to pronounce a particular word, she said.

Becky Khayum, speech-language pathologist

Post-study statistical tests revealed significant improvement in study participants’ confidence in their ability to communicate.

“People found that it really was impacting their daily lives,” Khayum said. “They felt like, ‘Okay, now we’re in a position of control. We’re not just sitting back and letting this disease take its course,’” she said.

Going forward, Rogalski said she would love to see the program implemented more widely, and she is currently planning to submit a grant to perform a proper clinical trial to demonstrate the program’s effectiveness.

“The long-term goal is not to keep it inhouse but actually to make it useful and to share it with others,” she said. ryanw@u.northwestern.edu

Tucker and Lasonde also said gerrymandering, a political process in which district boundaries are drawn to favor one party over another, has also presented problems for them.

It causes certain votes to be discounted and others to be weighed a lot more heavily depending on the majority party at the time, Tucker said.

Tucker compared a district map of the Chicago area to a district map of Iowa. While Iowa’s districts were evenly separated into similar shapes and sizes, Chicago’s districts were varied in their composition.

disproportionately hard on restaurants and retailers,” Mintle said in the statement. “It’s no wonder numerous municipalities within the county have already stated their desire to exempt themselves from this ordinance, which exacerbates the problem for those employers and employees inside Cook County dealing with the patchwork of rules and regulations.”

Because of concerns such as these, some Cook County districts discussed opting out of the minimum wage law using a home-rule provision, which allows municipalities to choose whether or not to adopt the ordinance. Pascal Brixel of the People’s Lobby, a liberal lobbying group, said municipalities would be making a mistake by not achieving consistency throughout Cook County. He said the point of the raising the minimum wage in the suburbs was to extend Chicago’s ruling from 2014.

“There have been claims made that municipalities could opt out of this particular legislation,” Brixel

said. “Any local government that makes such a choice … would be doing a great disservice to its own residents, its own struggling low-income people.”

Brixel said that although raising the minimum wage is a good first step, the increase is still not enough.

Many people with two to three jobs may still barely have enough money to feed their children and send them to school, Brixel said. Raising the minimum wage, he said, will end up helping the overall economy.

“When you put more money in the pockets of working people, in this case full-time, minimum wage workers having roughly 10,000 dollars a year more, they will spend money in the local economy that will boost sales and demand in the economy and create jobs,” Brixel said.

my colleagues that when you go to war … we are making a lifetime commitment to these vets.”

Later in the debate, Duckworth and Kirk clashed on the Syrian refugee crisis. Kirk was hesitant on letting refugees into the United States, while Duckworth was more open to accepting them.

Kirk said until the government can ensure the safety of the American people, they should not let Syrians into the country. He said the CIA needs to have a detailed database to background check those looking to enter.

Duckworth adamantly disagreed and said if Americans treat refugees badly, they may grow up to be the next insurgence that attacks American troops.

“We are not a nation that turns our back on children drowning in the Mediterranean,” Duckworth said. “We are not a nation that turns our back on families fleeing butchers.”

Duckworth and Kirk will make their case to voters one last time as they debate on Nov. 4 on ABC.

the voters and really letting the voters have a voice at the end of the day,” Tucker said.

The two candidates said they are politically moderate, yet described their frustrations in getting voters to look past their party affiliation.

Lasonde recalled walking door-to-door to introduce herself to families in her district and ask them about issues that concerned them.

Most families asked Lasonde for her political party, she said.

When she would respond she is “very moderate” but on the Republican ticket, she said she got one of two answers: “You just got my vote,” or “You just lost my vote.”

“There’s so much hatred and so much divisiveness,” Lasonde said. “Nobody cares what the issues are.”

Lasonde said she will not be straight-ticket

voting and expressed her support for issuecentered voting. Unlike many other Republicans in their districts, both Tucker and Lasonde support abortion rights.

“I’m not afraid to cross my party line when I don’t agree with them,” Lasonde said. “If you know what you stand for and you believe in it, and then someone’s upset with you or they’re not going to vote for you, that’s their problem.”

Weinberg junior Jack Stucky, president of College Republicans, said he agrees with the importance of issue-centered voting.

“To make an informed vote, you really need to look at the issues the candidates care about,” Stucky said, “because that’s really the only way you’re really going to learn who’s going to fight for what you believe.”

disagrees.

Even though he knew it was very unlikely Johnson would win the election, Schaefer said he still felt voting for him would matter.

“You’re not wasting a vote if you’re voting for someone you actually believe in,” Schaefer said.

However, after seeing Johnson’s “foreign policy slip-ups,” Schaefer said he decided to vote for Clinton instead.

“I liked Johnson because he represented something different from the two-party system, which I think is tearing this country apart, and he represented a voice that I agree with on social issues,” Schaefer said. “When I really dug in and did my research, I realized that what he was proposing was pretty reckless.”

Weinberg senior Aaron Gordon said he tends to lean toward Libertarian candidates and will vote for Johnson on Nov. 8. He said he aligns with Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul’s policies and would’ve considered voting for him had he won the Republican nomination for president.

Gordon said although he knows Johnson won’t win the presidency, voting for him can affect the status quo of the two-party system.

He referenced Ross Perot’s 1992 presidential campaign, which he said changed the course of the Republican party.

At this point, Gordon said, he is choosing a candidate by the process of elimination.

“I don’t think I have to go to any great lengths to explain why I’m not voting for Donald Trump,” he said. “As far as Clinton goes, I don’t think she’s as objectionable as Trump, but I don’t like her approach to filling the vacancy on the Supreme Court.”

According to the polling website FiveThirtyEight, Johnson is currently polling at 5.3 percent. No third-party candidate has a higher polling percentage.

Tyger, the Weinberg junior, also said she knows Johnson won’t win, but still thinks her vote will send a message. To her, voting for Johnson is a form of protest.

“The higher percentage Gary Johnson gets of the popular vote, even though he’s clearly not going to get any electoral college votes, is a statement to Washington and to the candidates themselves to show that not everyone is happy with the results of the primaries,” Tyger said.

THE NEXT GAME

After Big Ten regular season title, NU turns to postseason

By GARRETT JOCHNAU

daily senior staffer @GarrettJochnau

With Wednesday’s win over Illinois, the Wildcats accomplished their regular season goal of winning the Big Ten. However, the night also saw wins from the conference’s other elite teams — Minnesota and Penn State — leaving Northwestern with just a share of the title and the third seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.

Regardless of their seeding, though, the Cats (14-1-3, 7-1-3 Big Ten) have momentum on their side. The title, even split three ways, is the first in program history and shows NU’s resolve, which it will carry into Sunday’s first-round matchup with Nebraska (11-5-3, 5-3-3).

But resolve will only be able to take the team so far.The Cats could find themselves underdogs as early as the second round, where second-seeded Penn State awaits if the Nittany Lions emerge victorious from the opening slate.

NU leaned on its defense throughout the season, but with a matchup looming against a Nebraska squad that held them to a 0-0 tie on Oct. 16, the Cats could benefit from added offensive firepower. “(We’re) just trying to find that final pass in the attacking third (and) get the ball in the back of the net,” sophomore

defender Kayla Sharples said after Wednesday’s win. “We’ve struggled with that.”

In the last four games, NU scored just two goals — finishing a pair of games tied 0-0 and closing the regular season in overtime with a goal that few would call pretty.

But Sharples said the team isn’t looking for pretty, and with their front line decimated by injuries, the Cats will take whatever they can get. Still, scrappy scores are hardly a guarantee, and as the tournament opener approaches, the Cats will look to improve their attack.

“We are going to try to focus on being offensive,” junior forward Kassidy Gorman said. “We want to win. We want to move on, so we’re definitely going to try to create as many opportunities as we can in the final third.”

Coach Michael Moynihan echoed his players’ sentiments, but noted the team’s remarkable defensive effort inspired a regular season title and will likely be the foundation for any postseason success.

The Cats certainly have something to hang their hats on after allowing just four goals through conference play, and have little intention of making defensive sacrifices as they strive to refine their offense.

“Defense has been our rock,” Moynihan said. “It keeps us in every game. I expect it’ll continue to do that.”

Beating Nebraska will be anything but a cakewalk, and with either Penn State or a Rutgers team, which beat the Cats 2-0 in September, also standing between NU and the championship game, the immediate road ahead is tougher than ever before.

But after entering the season with limited expectations and finishing atop the standings, the Cats have the resilience to compete on any stage, Moynihan said.

Though not usually one to look beyond the immediate task at hand, the coach is also looking for the team to make a run when the NCAA Tournament comes around. Before it can tackle that mission, it’ll need to deal with the one ahead. And with the stakes higher than ever, NU is ready for the upcoming challenge.

“We don’t want to share a title,” Moynihan said. “We want (to win) the Big Ten outright. The Big Ten tournament is an opportunity to do that.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

Cats take aim at two-game trip As postseason looms,

By AIDAN MARKEY

the daily northwestern @aidanmarkey

Just a week removed from its first Big Ten win, Northwestern is looking to do the unexpected.

The Wildcats (8-14, 1-9 Big Ten) will travel to face Iowa (15-7, 5-5) and No. 1 Nebraska (18-1, 9-1) this weekend in search of more conference victories. On Friday, NU is set to face the Hawkeyes, who previously conquered the Cats in a sweep at Welsh-Ryan Arena on Oct. 1. Saturday’s match against the unanimously top-ranked Cornhuskers could be NU’s biggest challenge all season.

Although the task is daunting, coach Shane Davis said his team is confident heading into the challenging back-to-back.

“We feel good about where we are.

We’re a different team from the first time we played Iowa,” Davis said. “We’ve settled in as a group.”

The Cats took down No. 24 Purdue last Friday in a competitive, gritty contest. The team followed up that victory with a disappointing performance against Indiana on Sunday, losing in straight sets.

Senior outside hitter Sofia Lavin said NU must improve upon its faults from last weekend in order to take down a pair of strong Big Ten foes.

“Last weekend, we had a tough time following the scout that the coaches were so great to set up,” Lavin said. “We’re focusing on the small plays and the basic plays — the opportunities when the other team is letting up.”

In addition to struggles with individual matchups, the Cats had a horrendous two-game stretch at the service line last weekend, tallying 25 service errors over the weekend.

Junior middle blocker Gabrielle Hazen said NU must focus on itself and what it can control in order to ameliorate the sloppiness from the past couple of matches.

“We’re really focusing on our side of the net: taking care of the ball, getting ourselves in good situations and executing

those situations,” said Hazen, who added that the Cats need to play with the same team chemistry that they did against Purdue to get another win. “We were playing together really well.”

That same chemistry is imperative to NU’s offensive attack, which has suddenly become more balanced. In both matches, the Cats had five players notch four or more kills. Lavin and junior outside hitter

Symone Abbott have led this trend, combining for 40 kills over the two matches.

However, NU’s opponents are two dynamic offensive teams of their own.

Nebraska is second in the Big Ten in hitting percentage at .306, and Iowa is fourth at .280. On the season, the Cats are hitting a mere .197 clip.

As the Cats start a four-game road stretch in the treacherous Big Ten, Davis said his team must be poised and ready to take a game-by-game approach to secure wins away from home.

“We had a good win against Purdue.

We just need to handle (wins) better as a team,” Davis said.

“Hopefully we have a big win on Friday and know how to handle that.” aidanmarkey2019@u.northwestern.edu

NU seeks momentum

By COLE PAXTON

daily senior staffer @ckpaxton

When No. 10 Northwestern hammered an overwhelmed Central Michigan team 8-0 on Sunday, it didn’t push the the squad up the Big Ten standings. But it did have intangible value.

The Wildcats (11-6, 4-3 Big Ten) say they have kept their confidence up despite a recent four-game losing streak, but the team hopes the win over the Chippewas can rekindle momentum ahead of Friday’s conference finale at Michigan State (8-9, 3-4) and Saturday’s non-conference matchup with No. 17 Stanford. (9-5) “We definitely are a team that goes off momentum, so it’s going to be really important to get the win on Friday,” junior midfielder Elena Curley said.

NU thrived on momentum early in the season, knocking off then-No. 4 Penn State and then-No. 6 Maryland less than 48 hours apart. Those games came in the midst of an eight-game winning streak that pushed the Cats as high as No. 6 in the country.

In recent weeks, however, NU’s fortunes have changed dramatically. Unranked Indiana snapped the Cats’ lengthy winning streak Oct. 7, and two days later then-No. 8 Louisville handed NU its first shutout since 2014. Next, consecutive home overtime losses to a pair of ranked teams — Iowa and Michigan — extended the Cats’ losing streak to four.

“We’ve been having some tough games,” junior forward Pascale Massey said. “We’ve actually been playing well.

We’ve just been struggling to finish the games off. We lost in some overtimes, but we’re still confident.”

NU had opportunities to win each of the four games it lost and was never blown off the field. Against Indiana, for example, the Cats had 12 shots on goal to the Hoosiers’ seven.

After scoring at least three goals in every game of the winning streak, NU

No. 10 Northwestern vs. Michigan State East Lansing, Michigan 2 p.m. Friday

No. 10 Northwestern vs. No. 17 Stanford Ann Arbor, Michigan 2 p.m. Saturday

did not hit that number at any point during the losing skid. Because of that, coach Tracey Fuchs said offensive execution has been a focus.

“We’ve been working a lot this week on scoring and second chances and corner execution,” Fuchs said. “It’s stuff we’ve been working on all year.”

The Cats’ keys to success go beyond tactical adjustments, however. For example, Curley said the team realizes it must pick up its work rate to once again be successful in its Big Ten finale. Fuchs, meanwhile, highlighted her team’s unity and ability to keep its emotions in check.

“We had a rough stretch, but the good thing about this team is we all stick together and nobody points fingers,” Fuchs said. “We just go out, get better and look to the next game.”

Though Saturday’s game against Stanford will simply offer NU an opportunity to enter next week’s Big Ten Tournament on a high note, Friday’s contest against Michigan State has significant implications for tournament seeding.

The Cats could be as high as the No. 2 seed with a win, depending on other results, and drop as low as No. 7 with a loss. Fuchs said playing for seeding is important, but added that to win the conference tournament, NU would need to beat several top teams regardless of its seed.

Massey, on the other hand, did not downplay the significance of Friday’s game.

“It’s huge. We have (it) all to play for now,” she said. “We’re ready for it, and we’re excited to get playing a good game this weekend.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu
