County early voting up from last year
Council supports garage fee hike
Aldermen expressed support to increase the cost of monthly city parking garage passes by $10 from last year as they continued 2017 budget discussions at City Council on Monday. Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th) proposed to delete an item from the budget that would expand the hours in which parking meters charge because she said she received many complaints from local businesses. Expanding parking meter hours as proposed would increase Evanston’s revenue by $290,000. Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) said she also supported the deletion of the parking meter increase from the budget. She instead proposed an additional $5 increase in monthly parking garage fees to raise revenue. A monthly parking pass currently costs $85, and because of a surge in demand, the pass was originally proposed to increase by $5. Wynne proposed increasing the cost an additional $5 to make the total cost $95 per month. Wynne compared the price to park in Evanston to other parking garages, such as ones in Oak Park which cost $132.50 per month as a sign that Evanston should raise its prices too. The $10 increase would raise about $320,000 in revenue, assistant city manager Marty Lyons said. “Looking at these other rates, even the $100 range seems to me to be a pretty good bargain,” Ald. Brian Miller (9th) said. Earlier in the meeting, residents urged aldermen to listen to constituents about a waste transfer station in Evanston. Residents said the waste transfer station at 1711 Church St. hurt the surrounding neighborhood with its odor, noise and increased traffic. During public comment, residents told aldermen they should spend city money in ways recommended by community members in a survey conducted in August and September. The City of Evanston approved a settlement from a lawsuit in February with Advanced Disposal, the company that manages the waste transfer station, which gave the city $1.2 million to allocate. In the survey, 81 percent of respondents said they wanted the city to monitor the environmental impacts of the station on the community. Janet Alexander Davis, a

Communication junior Esteban Espino does not plan on voting in the election Tuesday. Espino said he feels unrepresented by the presidential candidates’ platforms.
Students sit election out Fed up with both candidates, some won’t vote
By STAVROS AGORAKIS
daily senior staffer @stavrosagorakis
Although this is the first U.S. presidential election Esteban Espino is old enough to vote in, the Communication junior said it’s “meaningless” to fill out a ballot at this point. Espino, who was raised in Mexico but born in El Paso, Texas, said neither major presidential candidate will get his vote. He said Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be unable to change the way things are run in the political arena because they fail to represent the views of
the American people. “It’s really sad what rock bottom the Americans have hit,” Espino said. “Where is the intellect, the person who will step in and be the voice of eloquence…and reason?” Weinberg sophomore Philip Wang said the campus culture at NU is politically driven, with many students staying informed and up to date with the debates and the media coverage this election has received. Wang, however, said he typically abstains from conversations about the candidates because he is not well-informed on their platforms. “Word of mouth is usually biased, and, while I respect
all opinions from every single student, I myself don’t want to be swayed by these biases,” he said. “I want to have a very objective source of information.” Although Wang is from California and identifies as liberal, he echoed Espino’s comments that neither Trump nor Clinton fits his political beliefs. Social media paints Trump as a racist and a “meme,” he said, and Clinton as corrupt and unable to promote social change. Wang said he will not vote because this election is not his priority. Instead, he said he devoted the time and » See NOT VOTING, page 4
Almost 100,000 more people in suburban Cook County have taken advantage of early voting this election than 2012, County Clerk David Orr said Monday. 315,375 people cast their vote in the area as of Monday morning, Orr said at a press conference. According to data from the Clerk’s office, over 228,000 people voted early in 2012, with total voter turnout coming to 70.7 percent. Early voting was lower in 2008, but overall turnout was higher at 73.5 percent. Orr said he expected between 30,000 and 40,000 more people to vote on Monday. “No matter what the results are tomorrow night…the real winner will be early voting,” he said. “I am very impressed with the voters.” Cook County residents can vote early by mail absenteeballot voting and grace period voting, which applies to those who missed the registration deadline, but registered and voted at the same time before Election Day. Voters from Evanston and some neighboring municipalities were able to vote early at the Civic Center for the past two weeks. City Clerk Rodney Greene said about 1,000 people had voted early every day during the early voting period. “They’re breaking records this year,” he said at Monday’s city council meeting.
Approximately 15,000 people had voted as of Monday, he said, with about 2,000 more expected that evening. According to data from the Clerk’s website, the number of early voting had increased 38 percent since the 2012 election. Mail voting had increased by 88.5 percent from the previous presidential election Orr said he was expecting a “big turnout” on Election Day. Since 2000, Illinois’ presidential voting turnout has averaged about 73 percent. Evanston ranked among the five busiest early-voting sites in suburban Cook County, along with Northbrook and Arlington Heights. Orr said part of the reason some North Shore towns have high rates of early voting is because of local races. The congressional race in the 10th district between incumbent Bob Dold (R-lll) and Democratic challenger Brad Schneider, who previously held the seat, is particularly contentious. “The presidential election affects nearly everything,” he said. “But when you’ve got a hot race in the 10th congressional district that does account for some.” Orr said the same-day voter registration allowed at all polling places would help increase turnout. The option was almost limited to only a few voting sites per county after a lawsuit, but a higher court struck down the ruling and reinstated sameday registration last month. Orr said he was relieved about the ruling that restored same-day registration in highly populated counties. “Thank goodness it is going to be in the polling places » See EARLY, page 4
SPEAK to allow allies into survivors’ group
Change announced at sexual violence coalition meeting By DARIA LENDERMAN
the daily northwestern @lend_er_man
Students Promoting Education, Awareness and Knowledge for Change has opened up membership to students who are not survivors of sexual assault, the group announced at a meeting Tuesday. During the Campus Coalition on Sexual Violence’s fall meeting, Medill junior Emagin Tanaschuk, the group’s head, said SPEAK for Change decided to open the group to allies to increase activism and have more perspectives contributing to the group. SPEAK is a group focused on supporting
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
survivors of sexual violence. “When it started a couple of years ago, (members) wanted to keep it within survivors because they wanted to be anonymous,” Tanaschuk said. Since expanding membership, Tanaschuk said more students have reached out to her to join the group. “People just want to get involved in some kind of way,” she said. SPEAK was one of several groups present at the CCSV meeting, where faculty, students and community members discussed updates to resources and programs for survivors of sexual violence. The coalition is led by Erin Clark, assistant director of the Center for Awareness, Response and Education. The coalition, which meets each quarter, brings together representatives from different organizations and individuals
to discuss issues surrounding sexual violence, said Paul Ang, coordinator of men’s engagement for CARE and a coordinator of the CCSV student advisory board. “As with any social justice issue, it can’t just be one office or group of people responsible for helping end that injustice or violence,” he said. Clark also informed attendees about CARE’s decision to reinstate a trauma recovery group for survivors of sexual violence, which launched last year. Clark also said she has seen an influx of students, particularly freshmen, reaching out to CARE. But she said the increase in students does not reflect an increase in sexual violence, but rather improved knowledge of campus resources. Groups such as Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators,
Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault, the YWCA Evanston/ North Shore and members from other university departments also gave updates about initiatives during the meeting. Clark said the CCSV aims to make student more aware of
resources on campus and within the community. “I hope there will be a synergy around the work to address sexual violence,” she said. darialenderman2019@u.northwestern.edu

AROUND TOWN POLICE BLOTTER Man charged with theft after fight with ex-girlfriend Officers were dispatched to a residence near downtown Evanston at about 4 p.m. on Saturday after receiving a domestic disturbance complaint, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. A 37-year-old Evanston man told officers he asked the woman to come to his residence to exchange personal items with his ex-girlfriend. However, the woman allegedly did not bring the man’s cell phone. The man then took her Ventra card and refused to give it back, eventually calling police. When officers arrived on the scene, they asked the man to return the card, but he continued to refuse. He was than arrested in connection with the incident and charged with theft. The police were able to return the Ventra card to the woman, Dugan said. — Sam Krevlin

Soda tax won’t affect sales, Evanston businesses say By ALAN PEREZ
the daily northwestern @classperezident
Some Evanston businesses say they aren’t too worried about a potential tax on sugary drinks in Cook County. In the executive budget recommendation for the 2017 fiscal year, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle proposed a one cent-per-ounce tax on sweetened beverages, including soda, juices and sports drinks. The budget recommendation has been sent to the financial committee, where it awaits further approval. Similar measures are being considered across the country. “It’s hard to imagine much of an impact,” said Jim Hurley of Bat 17, a local restaurant and bar. “My guess is that everything kind of levels out after a short period.” Silas Lee, the son of the Evanston Grill owner, says his family’s business wouldn’t raise prices on soda. He said the Grill would pay the increased tax rather than charging customers for it, but doesn’t predict that this new cost would have an effect on their overall revenue. “I can’t really say it’s hurting us,” Lee said. “It’s a flat tax rate for us; we don’t charge anything differently.” As a consumer, Lee said he is unenthusiastic about the tax. “My personal opinion is that I really do hate it,” Lee said. Although some local businesses aren’t so worried about its effects in Evanston, a Cook County campaign organized around the issue claims the tax will raise prices on all goods. In a statement on their website, the Cook County Against Beverage Taxes — a coalition of businesses and citizens who oppose the tax — said it would impact “the grocery budgets of those who can least
afford it – compared to higher-income households.” Cook County Public Information Officer Frank Shuftan said the proposed tax is necessary to balance an anticipated $174.3 million deficit in the 2017 fiscal year. “The alternative to being able to close this budget deficit is a huge number of layoffs,” Shuftan said. “There’s already layoffs planned.” Shuftan said a decision on Cook County’s proposed tax will likely be announced in the near future. Though the potential tax is meant to balance the county’s budget, it’s also being proposed as a public health campaign. In the recommendation published online, Preckwinkle said the tax would provide needed revenue for county public health and safety services. In the recommendation, Preckwinkle called the proposed tax a “difficult, but necessary decision.” According to Shuftan, the county health system spent approximately $200 million on diseases related to the consumption of sugar, including diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Shuftan said the proposed tax should “produce a clear public health benefit for many communities where diseases are a huge problem.” Hurley said he disagrees. He said he thinks the new tax won’t matter to people choosing whether to buy soda and calls it a “little bit of an overstep.” “It just sounds like a convenient way to make it about trying to improve people’s lives when really they just want to add a tax,” Hurley said. Hurley said even with the possible implementation of a tax on sweetened beverages, he doesn’t see people turning away from soda in the future. Shuftan said that if approved, the tax would be an important first step. “We have to start somewhere,” Shuftan said. “Doing something is clearly better than doing nothing.” alanperez2020@u.northwestern.edu

DECISION 2016
In our first time voting, GOP must retake party we’re with Hillary from Trump after 2016 SAMANTHA ROSE & SYDNEY SELIX OP-ED CONTRIBUTORS
Today we, the presidents of College Democrats, are about to participate in our very first presidential election. And who are our choices? Hillary Clinton is a woman whose achievements and work ethic continue to inspire us. In 1995, she proclaimed that “Women’s Rights are Human Rights,” a statement that shook the world. Donald Trump is a man whose divisive rhetoric and calls to “Make America Great Again” strive to take us back to an America that was great for few at the exclusion of many. We think the choice on the ballot today is clearer than ever. Clinton’s 40 years as a public servant are indelible proof of the ability, qualification and merit that will help her close the gap between the achievable and the impossible. In her time at the Children’s Defense Fund, term as First Lady and time in the Senate, Hillary has proved her enduring commitment to helping the underrepresented. When she did not secure the Democratic nomination for President in 2008, she worked with President Obama closely as Secretary of State. Hillary was instrumental in reestablishing the credibility of the United States overseas after the Bush era, she made climate change a large part of her agenda and her role in the Iran Deal proves her extensive understanding of foreign policy. Trump doesn’t seem to understand why we can’t just nuke the world. Hillary is a woman who, above all else, does not give up. She continues her lifelong fight for the American people. This is not to say that she is faultless. Throughout her 40 years of experience, there are bound to be places where she has gone wrong and made mistakes. She has spent her career trying to be the best public servant that she can be, adapting to the changing needs of the party and the nation. There is no better testament to Hillary’s responsiveness than the results of the Democratic primary. The primary elections were highly contentious; their purpose is not just to select the best candidate, but also to cultivate the best nominee. Bernie Sanders inspired thousands with his vision –– affordable univeristy for all, incarceration reformation –– and Hillary does not take
this for granted. She incorporated many of Sanders’ ideas and used them to create the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic party. The primary process has been incredibly successful for the Democratic Party in proving to be a true contest of ideas. And the Republicans? Well, they ended up with Trump. At this point, you, know the stakes of this election. It is the Republican Party that validates Trump’s divisive and dangerous rhetoric by allowing him to serve as their nominee. Trump represents a new faction of vocal Americans who we cannot allow to become the loudest; Republicans must speak up and demand that their party do better. If Jill Stein or Gary Johnson represents your beliefs, then use your vote to make those beliefs heard. But consider what may be at stake for those around you. The truth is, when Clinton enters the Oval Office, she won’t care if you voted for her. She’ll represent each and every one of you to the best of her ability. To write this column, we pored over Hillary’s past, applauded her resilience and reminisced about our favorite pantsuits. We sometimes forget that we’ve grown up watching Clinton, at times taking her achievement for granted, seeing her grace under pressure as a given. Yet somehow, she still inspires us. In her 1969 commencement speech at Wellesley College she said, “Fear is always with us but we just don’t have time for it. Not now.” Her words could not be more true today; we don’t have time for fear. We have to look ahead because America’s “greatest” years are still ahead of us. Today, vote for the candidate you believe will take us into the future. We think that candidate is Clinton. We hope you think so, too.

JOSE TREJOS
DAILY COLUMNIST
The 2016 presidential election comes to a close today. After the most negative campaign in living memory, most experts predict that a former Secretary of State accused of criminal negligence will triumph over a man who has bragged about sexual assault. As Donald Trump’s political career comes to a close, the greatest question is what direction his party will take following the election. Many pundits have suggested Trump has so destroyed the reputation of the GOP that it will be doomed in coming years. This position may seem natural in a place like Northwestern, where Trump has been rejected so overwhelmingly by the student population. In reality, though, Clinton’s massive unpopularity is likely hurting Democrats as much as Trump has hurt Republicans. Clinton may actually take office with a net disapproval rating and persistent criminal allegations from day one. Against a weak president, Republicans will likely see gains in Congress in 2018 and could easily win the presidency in 2020 with a competent nominee. At least for the foreseeable future, this election is not an existential threat to the GOP. The most relevant questions the GOP’s future involve internal debates about what the party should stand for. The modern Republican Party is an uneasy alliance between religious conservatives, business leaders and working class whites. Trump’s appeal, directed almost exclusively at working-class voters with open hostility toward business leaders, has pushed this relationship to its limit. Additionally, Trump has brought to prominence a racist element of the right wing, which previous nominees had tolerated in the name of electability but certainly never championed. Should Trump’s model be adopted by more Republican leaders, it could forever change the policies of the Republican Party. Notably, tensions within the GOP are coming to a climax just as the Democratic Party is dealing with its own populist insurrection. Bernie Sanders’ candidacy was based on class-based politics. Yet his proposals were catastrophically flawed to the
point that they could be referred to as antimath, in a manner reminiscent of Trump’s fact-free rhetoric. For a Democratic candidate, Sanders’ support base was also incredibly white and male. Following this election, Trump’s anti-establishment ideology might woo Sanders’ sizeable share of the white vote into the Republican Party. This could win elections for Republicans in the short term, but would be doomed to fail as the country becomes demographically less white. The alternative for Republicans has been championed by “establishment” politicians for years: Expand the party with moderates and Hispanic voters. It might seem strange that Hispanic voters, who are largely socially conservative and entrepreneurial, vote for the Democratic Party, if not for the vigorous anti-immigration rhetoric employed by many Republicans. Though moving toward the kind of reckless amnesty the Democrats demand is a foolish idea, creating a legal working status like that advocated by Jeb Bush would certainly move the needle among this crucial and growing demographic. From there, an embrace of the common-sense economic ideas and small-government solutions traditionally championed by the Republican Party would easily assemble a winning coalition among the American electorate. Our leaders and voters must decide which values our political parties represent. The Republican Party must take a stronger stance against populism, perhaps by adopting measures like ranked-choice voting or a superdelegate system like that of the Democratic Party and more aggressively speaking out against populists. Voters must learn to resist the temptations posed by charlatans like Trump and instead vote for real leaders, a responsibility that voters of both parties failed at horrendously this year. Let us hope that political parties that emerge from the 2016 turmoil will give the American people real leadership, instead of new opportunists to vote against. Jose Trejos is a Weinberg sophomore.

NU expecting battle for minutes in its frontcourt By BENJY APELBAUM

As the fi ght for minutes in Northwestern’s muddled frontcourt ramps up, so do the questions. Last year’s Wildcats lacked a strong interior presence after the graduation of Alex Cohen, and a disappointing performance from senior Christen Johnson resulted in NU being outrebounded by an average of 2.6 boards per game. The emergence of now-sophomore Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah later in the season was a pleasant surprise for the team, but a lack of depth and experience made the center spot a weakness. Th is season, the Cats appear to have the opposite problem, as multiple new and returning faces will vie for the starting center position and to backup senior Nia Coffey at forward. “We have a bigger group this year, a lot of big players,” Kunaiyi-Akpanah said. “We definitely can be more of a threat when it comes to in the paint and rebounding.” The new frontcourt additions include junior Oceana Hamilton, who sat out last year after transferring from Alabama. Somewhat surprisingly, coach Joe McKeown started Hamilton ahead of Kunaiyi-Akpanah in the team’s exhibition game against Illinois-Springfield. Freshman center Abbie Wolf will likely back up Hamilton and Kunaiyi-Akpanah at center, while freshman forward Abi Scheid could have a chance to earn minutes behind Coffey. Perhaps the biggest X-Factor coming into this season will be the play of senior forward Lauren Douglas. Douglas was forced to take a medical redshirt last season, and her career 34 percent 3-point shooting average could help fill the outside shooting hole left by the graduation of Maggie Lyon. “I think I bring experience,” Douglas said. “I’ve been around this program for four years, going on five, so I know how everything works. Just teaching the younger kids and providing a spark wherever we need it.”
With Douglas and Cohen gone last season, Kunaiyi-Akpanah seized the opportunity and went on to start the last 19 games of the season. During conference play, she was eighth in the Big Ten with 8.9 rebounds per game. She was most known for aggressively attacking the offensive glass, finishing second in the conference with 3.8 per game in Big Ten games.
”
We have a bigger group this year. ... We definitely can be more of a threat when it comes to in the paint and rebounding. Pallas Kunaiyi-Akpanah, forward
“She works really hard, trying to work on things that she needs to get better,” McKeown said. “More importantly, (she) just understands now what the Big Ten is like, how long the seasons will be and just set her goals really high. She’s rebounding. She tries to get every rebound. Coaches love that.” However, Kunaiyi-Akpanah struggled defensively last season due to her tendency to get in foul trouble. She fouled out of three games and collected four fouls in eight others. Once Kunaiyi-Akpanah was out of the game, McKeown struggled to replace her size and rebounding ability. This year, McKeown will likely be able to look down his bench and see multiple players who can provide NU with a much-needed interior presence. “Last year if we got in foul trouble inside, we just had trouble replacing that person with somebody else that could sustain some things in the paint,” McKeown said. “It’s going to be by committee sometimes. They’re all trying to earn it in practice, so competition’s great.” benjyapelbaum2019@u.northwestern.edu

Trio of senior stars ready for last season in school By COLE PAXTON
daily senior staffer @ckpaxton
Last year, Nia Coffey, Ashley Deary and Christen Inman combined to average about 47 points, 17 rebounds and 12 assists per game on a team that went just 4-14 in Big Ten play. Now seniors, Coffey, Deary and Inman are the undisputed stars on a Northwestern team that enters the season with moderate expectations, sitting on the periphery of the national rankings and early NCAA Tournament projections. If the three cornerstones of coach Joe McKeown’s signature recruiting class are to add to their legacy by making a second tournament, they will almost certainly need to lead the way.
“
Being leaders, captains, it’s a new identity for them, and I feel like they’re doing a great job. Joe McKeown, women’s basketball coach
“They’ve had great careers,” McKeown said. “Now being leaders, captains, it’s a new identity for them, and I feel like they’re doing a great job taking on that responsibility.” The triumvirate of playmakers was highly acclaimed before any of the three played in a college game. ESPN ranked Coffey a top-25 player and had Inman not far behind. Deary was a top-20 point guard, and the class overall was ranked second-best in the Big Ten. Once they arrived, the trio quickly helped turn around a program that has historically struggled. The Wildcats hadn’t appeared in the NCAA Tournament since 1997, but with
Coffey, Deary and Inman all starting as freshmen, the team made the WNIT. A year later, the trio helped push NU into the NCAAs. “The future is really bright for us. We have people really excited for our program,” McKeown said in March 2015, after the Cats lost in the first round of the NCAAs. “We set a lot of milestones for us to build on.” That seemed to be the case early last season, as NU raced to a 10-0 start and was ranked as high as No. 12 in the country. The conference season went quite differently, however, as the Cats slumped to a 1-3 start, won just two games in February and finished third to last in the Big Ten. An impressive run to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament secured NU’s place in the WNIT, but the Cats were promptly upset in the first round. “We knew we underperformed, and our thing was to find a way to motivate ourselves to get back there,” Deary said. “This year we’re really eager; we’re really hungry…anything we have to do in order to be prepared for when that time comes again.” Individual statistics and accomplishments were not the NU’s problem last year. Coffey scored in double figures in every game and averaged a double-double for most of the season before finishing the year with 20.3 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. Deary shined defensively, averaging more than four steals per game, setting the conference’s single-season steals mark and breaking the team’s all-time career steals record — as a junior. Inman was a consistent scoring threat, boosting her points per game output to 14.5 from 9.3 a season earlier. The awards came fast and furious. Coffey was an all-conference first team selection and an AP All-American honorable mention choice. Deary was the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year. Without much room to improve on their production, the captains all say they have focused on intangibles, like mentorship and
unity. “Even though I wasn’t here this summer, my focus was to act like I was here, to be a presence staying in communication with everyone,” Deary said. On the court, all three are expected to continue to play to their strengths. “The basketball part, they are who they are,” McKeown said. Coffey, a 6-foot-1 forward, can handle the ball and drive to the basket, but she is similarly adroit at playing in the post and attacking the glass. Deary, a defensive menace, is also an adept passer who had at least 10 assists in eight separate games last season. Inman, a 5-foot10 wing, is a consistent mid-range threat who scored 25 or more points four times. All three mentioned improving their outside shooting as a focus in the offseason — NU will need to replace the 3-point production of graduated guard Maggie Lyon. “That was definitely one of my goals from last season,” Inman said. “That’s something I hope to show off this year.”
Off the court, the three seniors realize this season will help to determine their legacy. Though McKeown said he doesn’t often address that, it is still at the forefront of everyone’s mind. “I want them to just play. But they know,” McKeown said. “They don’t want their legacy to be, ‘we just played in one tournament, one game.’ There’s some things you don’t even have to say that they get.” Deary and Inman pushed back against the idea that they faced significant pressure to get back to the NCAAs in their final year in Evanston, saying they are focused more on their own goals. Coffey, however, said she embraces the burden. “Of course there’s pressure, but I like pressure. If you don’t, you don’t have any expectations,” Coffey said. “We have all the stuff we need to, so having that pressure is going to push us to make sure we stay motivated and keep our eye on the prize of getting back.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu Daily file photo by Keshia Johnson

Predicted Record
Season Outlook
22-7 (9-7 Big Ten)
The Wildcats return the strong core of seniors Nia Coffey, Ashley Deary and Christen Inman. With Lauren Douglas coming back after missing last season, expect Northwestern to have one of the top offenses in the Big Ten.
20-9 (10-6 Big Ten)
There are legitimate concerns about 3-point shooting and interior defense. But the middle of the Big Ten is weak, and the Wildcats have the star power to take advantage.
BENJY
20-9 (9-7 Big Ten)
Northwestern will continue the momentum from the Big Ten Tournament during a bounce-back season. Oceana Hamilton and Lauren Douglas should help on the boards as the “Big Three” rack up the points.
FATHMA
22-7 (9-7 Big Ten)
Two words: Lauren Douglas. The Wildcats will struggle defensively, but Douglas’ return this season will boost the team’s offense significantly and help Northwestern bounce back.

KNOCKED OUT By DAN WALDMAN

COLLEGE PARK, Maryland — It had been 363 days since Maryland crushed Northwestern’s 2015 NCAA Tournament dreams, beating the Wildcats in double overtime of last year’s Big Ten Tournament semifinals. On Friday, NU couldn’t prevent history from repeating itself. After giving Maryland (17-3, 7-1 Big Ten) its only conference loss during the regular season, fourth-seeded NU (13-8, 5-3) couldn’t get the better of the top-seeded Terrapins this time around, conceding in overtime to fall 3-2. The loss was ultimately the team’s final game of the season, as it did not receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament field as announced on Sunday. The deciding moment for the Cats came at the end of the second half. In the 69th minute of the game, NU senior forward Isabel Flens received a yellow card, sidelining her for five minutes and forcing the Cats to play a player down. Maryland opened overtime with a one-player advantage and capitalized. Coach Tracey Fuchs said the team gameplanned for playing in overtime, but, in the end, the Terrapins just got the better of them. “We prep each and every day for it,” Fuchs said.
Northwestern falls in overtime
“When you’re a man down, you’re going to have to play defense for a majority of the play until your player gets back. It’s just unfortunate (Flens) got a yellow card inside our attacking 25.” NU started the game strong. After taking down fifth-seeded Iowa 3-1 in the first round of the tournament, the Cats picked up their scoring where they left off. Six minutes into the game, Flens followed up a penalty corner with a powerful shot of her own, and redshirt-freshman back Kirsten Mansfield deflected the shot to put the team up 1-0 early. But just four minutes later, Maryland responded. The Terrapins scored their only goal of the first half on a strike from graduate defender Grace Balsdon off of a penalty corner. The first half was a back-and-forth of penalty corners for the feuding teams, as Maryland racked up five and the Cats three. Flens then sparked the offense again in the 20th minute, scoring on a strike in the lower-left corner of the goal. Despite going into halftime with a 2-1 lead, Fuchs said the team didn’t change anything with its game plan. “We still wanted to attack the outsides and take it to them,” Fuchs said. “The second half was pretty even; they had a lot of good shots.” In the 54th minute, Terrapins freshman forward Sophie Pelzer stepped up for Maryland, capitalizing on a Cats green card and tying the
WOMEN’S SOCCER
game up at 2-2. When Flens received the yellow card at the end of the second half, Fuchs said the team just tried to keep the ball out of its defensive zone and milk the penalty. But Big Ten Player of the Year Welma Luus finally got the better of NU junior goalkeeper Lindsay von der Luft to end the game. Flens said she was disappointed in herself for getting the penalty, despite serving as a major contributor for the Cats offense. “It feels like I let the team down a little bit there, so it’s definitely hard,” Flens said. “We almost got through to the timeout. It’s hard on me personally.” The defeat to the Terrapins was followed up with more heartbreak on Sunday, when NU was not given a bid to the NCAAs to end its season. While the team had assumed a win over Iowa on Thursday was enough to secure a spot in the tournament, but the Cats are instead on the outside looking in for the second-straight year. Fuchs said not being chosen is tough to swallow for a team that had several strong wins this season. “We had a really special team this year. We had some fine moments,” she said. “Certainly we can play with any team in the country, and it’s just a shame we can’t get a 20 team tournament for our sport.” danielwaldman2019@u.northwestern.edu

NU attack silenced Cats look for backcourt answers again in Big Tens loss By FATHMA RAHMAN
No. 25 Rutgers
By GARRETT JOCHNAU
daily senior staffer @garrettjochnau
When No. 17 Northwestern entered the second half of Friday’s contest against No. 25 Rutgers with a new fire, it seemed inevitable that the Wildcats would even the score after falling behind early. They had an opportunity immediately after the break, but a proactive play by the Scarlet Knights’ (11-4-6, 4-2-5 Big Ten) goalkeeper robbed junior midfielder Kassidy Gorman of an attempt to get off a clean shot. NU (14-2-4, 7-1-3) again fell just short in the 59th minute when graduate midfielder Nandi Mehta overshot a clean look amid a scrum in front of the goal and once more when senior Margo McGinty missed a header in the 78th. Such was the narrative of the second half of the Cats’ semifinal game in the Big Ten Tournament. A slow start to the contest was followed by an exhibition of pure determination and grit — but one that ultimately proved futile. NU would finish the contest scoreless, losing 1-0 to Rutgers and watching its opponent advance in its stead. “You could see that there was a deep-felt hunger to score, to get back into the game,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “And when the game was over, a lot of them were just beside themselves. After feeling like we had outplayed them by that much, to not have the result to show for it, it hurts.” The 1-0 tally had hung on the scoreboard since the game’s seventh minute, when a previously mishandled ball was recovered by Rutgers forward Colby Ciarrocca, who tapped it past junior goalie Lauren Clem. For the remainder of the first half, NU struggled to find a rhythm. The defensive-minded team had yet to score in the tournament — its first-round victory over Nebraska came in penalty kicks after a game-long 0-0 deadlock — and it seemed as though shifting momentum against a Rutgers team that had beaten it 2-0 earlier in the year would be a tall task. Nonetheless, the team believed it could overcome a one-goal deficit. “Our defense took a look around and

said, ‘We’re fine. We’re still in this game,’” Clem said. At halftime, Moynihan told the team to “amp up the pressure,” according to Clem. The coach also said he made a number of personnel changes designed to better respond to the circumstances at the time. “In some games, matchups are more advantageous for certain people,” Moynihan said. “And I think one of the things that’s very difficult as a coach is that you don’t know sometimes how those matchups are going to play out. And one game to the next, it might be a different person who shines.” The decision to start junior forward Maria Fayeulle in the second half almost paid off when she nearly logged an assist on the chance by Gorman in the opening minutes. So too did the decision to play McGinty, who was absent in the first half. The team as a whole emerged with a newfound fire in the final period. “A lot of it was a sense of urgency, and the mentality that we had 45 minutes to get on the board,” sophomore midfielder Marisa Viggiano said. “We knew we had to come out strong.” And they did, keeping the ball in Rutgers’ territory and pressuring the Scarlet Knights defense again and again. But as close as they came, it wasn’t enough. Every opportunity to score fell just short, dooming the Cats to an early exit from the conference tournament. NU’s season is not yet over, as the team received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and is set to host a first-round game against Kent State. But Moynihan said that scoring goals won’t get any easier for the Cats moving forward. “Finishing is the hardest part of the game,” Moynihan said. “Defenses are more organized as the season goes on, and the quality of the opponent keeps getting better.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

The words “It’s Maggie … for 3” crackled across the public address system at Welsh-Ryan Arena countless times over the last four years. Those days are over, however, now that Lyon has graduated, and Northwestern is searching for a stable replacement to fill Lyon’s large shoes in the backcourt. “Maggie was a great player, and I’m glad for her success, but she’s gone this year, so we’ve had to pick up where she left off,” senior guard Christen Inman said. “We have different players in that position, and I think they all bring something a little different to the game that we could use.” When Lyon was sidelined during the Big Ten Tournament last
year due to a lower body injury, coach Joe McKeown was forced to go deep into his bench. He inserted then-sophomore guard Lydia Rohde into the starting lineup, and thenfreshman guard Jordan Hankins saw extended playing time as well. Hankins averaged 3.8 points per game last season, and Rohde averaged 2.6. With Lyon — one of the best 3-point shooters in program history — gone, McKeown singled out Rohde and Hankins as showing promise for this season in terms of their outside shooting. McKeown is also looking forward to having senior forward Lauren Douglas back after an injury that kept her out all of last season. Though Douglas stands 6-foot-2, McKeown described her as “one of the best threats in the Big Ten as a 3-point shooter.” Douglas averaged 10.1 points per game two seasons ago and was the team’s

fourth-leading scorer. Though McKeown cautioned against making bold proclamations about who would play extensively before the season, he said sophomore Amber Jamison and said freshman Byrdy Galernik had fit in well. “I feel like they’ve adapted well to our system,” McKeown said of Galernik and the freshman class as a whole. “Now it’s just getting through the nonconference, getting opportunities for them.”

Off the court, Lyon set a high bar in terms of leadership and creating a sense of team unity. McKeown described Lyon’s departure as a loss of a “great leader and great role model for the program,” but Inman said she is confident that this year’s senior class will be able to fill Lyon’s role and carry on the tradition of strong leadership. “We’ve been here the longest, so it’s important to make sure the younger classes understand what we have built here and to pass that tradition down to the younger classes,” Inman said. Inman and point guard Ashley Deary will again anchor the backcourt, but the third primary guard remains unclear. Whether NU relies on one player to replace Lyon’s production or uses a cast of characters, McKeown believes the Cats have a good chance to be successful. “The Big Ten’s going to give us some tremendous opportunities,” McKeown said. “It’s truly up to us to take advantage.” fathma@u.northwestern.edu
