Weinberg sophomore Sammy Cuautle initially voted for Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the Republican primary but said he now supports Donald Trump. Cuautle said he thinks there are more Trump supporters on campus who choose not to voice their beliefs out of fear of being judged.
VOTING TRUMP
Students back nominee despite comments, concerns By JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan
Although Sammy Cuautle initially wanted to vote for Rand Paul in the Republican
primary, there were only three options left when he went to vote in Illinois: Gov. John Kasich, Sen. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. Cuautle ended up voting for Kasich because he said he didn’t want to tell people he had voted for Trump.
“I just couldn’t actually bring myself to bubble the circle next to his name,” the Weinberg sophomore said. “There was still that part of me that was afraid of the social » See TRUMP, page 6
A windsurfer who called 911 in distress has been rescued. Evanston Fire Department officers and the U.S. Coast Guard had been out searching for the windsurfer on Lake Michigan off Lee Street beach, City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz said. He had no visible injuries. According to an EFD news release, the man called in at about 4:30 p.m. and was rescued about an hour later. The windsurfer called in after he realized his sail had become disabled in the high winds, Evanston Police Department Chief Richard Eddington said. EFD then dispatched crews to the lakefront and began searching for the man on their waverunners. It quickly became apparent the waverunners would not be enough to conduct an extensive search, Eddington said.
At that time the Chicago Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard were called in for assistance, Eddington said. The windsurfer was located, pulled onto the Coast Guard boat and taken to Wilmette Harbor, Eddington said. Eddington cautioned people looking to windsurf on the lake. “You have to be extremely respectful of the lake, especially during high wind conditions,” he said. “You put other people in danger when you take risks out on the water.” Kirill Przhebilsky, of Wheeling, IL, said he was windsurfing with a few friends and the man who was rescued when he became distressed. Przhebilsky said he didn’t see anything happen with the rescued man. “He just went out really far. He’s actually really experienced,” he said. “The funny thing about this whole thing is that he goes to these (other) really crazy places … nothing ever happens. But every single time he goes to this lake, something breaks for him.” norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu
SES office hires Motion for lower speed limit passed two new staffers By ERICA SNOW

the daily northwestern @fathmarahman
Student Enrichment Services has expanded to include two additional staff members as part of an effort to increase its reach across campus, SES director Kourtney Cockrell said. Cockrell had been the only full-time employee at SES since the office, designed to support low-income and firstgeneration students, opened in October 2014. With newly-hired assistant director Sharitza Rivera and administrative assistant Christine Mendoza joining her, Cockrell said she is optimistic the office will be able to achieve more of its goals. “With a full team, we’ll finally be able to move further with our mentor program as well as increase programming about financial wellness, career development and connecting students with faculty members,” Cockrell said. Rivera will lead Compass, a mentorship program for about
20 students that helps them navigate Northwestern and its resources, Cockrell said. Previously known as the SES Peer Mentor Program, Compass was piloted last year and uses a cohort model in which participating students come together each week and meet with their mentors oneon-one every other week. Patricia Telles-Irvin, vice president for student affairs, told The Daily in September the University believes the office is “essential” for students from low-income families. “Sometimes there are challenges that they face, and we want to make sure that they have one place that they can go,” Telles-Irvin said. “This is one central location that they don’t have to explain themselves over and over again.” Telles-Irvin added that University President Morton Schapiro is committed to increasing the number of Pell Grant-eligible students, which she said is at nearly 18 percent now.

Aldermen discussed the details of two-way bike lanes and unanimously approved a motion to consider reducing the Sheridan Road speed limit to 25 mph at a City Council meeting Monday. Conversation surrounding the bike lanes was renewed last month after the death of Northwestern first-year student Chuyuan “Chu” Qiu, who was killed after being struck with a cement truck while turning onto Sheridan Road. Bike lanes are set to be constructed next summer after being delayed in 2014. Ald. Judy Fiske (1st) said the four lanes of traffic for a few blocks on Sheridan Road create a dangerous situation for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists on the busiest section of the road. Fiske said she had hoped to see a plan for three lanes of traffic on Sheridan instead with pedestrian medians at crosswalks. “I don’t feel entirely comfortable that this is a very pedestrian-friendly response in those four blocks,” Fiske said, referring to the blocks with four
lanes of traffic. “I don’t see that this is making anything better.” Lara Biggs, chief of the city’s Engineering and Capital Planning Bureau, outlined the restructuring of many intersections on Sheridan Road. She said the traffic would likely still exist if Sheridan only allowed for three lanes of traffic. With the current plan, Sheridan would be resurfaced and widened in areas that have bike lanes and four lanes of motor traffic. Traffic signals would also be upgraded to have bikespecific signals.
At the Foster Street bus and shuttle stop, a raised bus platform will match the height of the raised bike lanes. Along most of Sheridan Road, a 3-foot-wide concrete median will protect the bike lanes. The plan is projected to cost $12.2 million. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th) said the Sheridan Road project would be a “disaster waiting to happen.” She pointed to the bike lane project on Dodge Avenue, which she said was a failure that ultimately made the street more dangerous for bikers. However,
Rainey said she still supported the plan to make Sheridan safer, but it required more thought to not inadvertently cause too much traffic. Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) countered Rainey’s point: He said Sheridan Road faces different problems than Dodge Avenue and the plan as it currently is addresses many safety concerns. Wilson added a “culture change” is necessary to slow traffic on Sheridan Road. He » See LANES, page 6

AROUND TOWN Proposed budget to boost housing fund
Affordable housing, library initiatives see increase in Fiscal Year 2017 budget By MAX GELMAN
daily senior staffer @maxgelman
City Council is preparing Evanston’s budget for next year as aldermen heard presentations breaking down the budget for the 2017 fiscal year Monday. One of the most discussed topics during the presentation was the need for affordable housing funding. For the fiscal year 2017, affordable housing in Evanston will need an increase of at least $1.3 million, including more than $1 million for the Affordable Housing Fund, to “work with local affordable housing entities and developers to develop new income-restricted units in the community,” Director of Community Development Mark Muenzer said during Monday’s presentation. “I know we’ve had this conversation quite a bit, and there was always a hesitancy to do that because we did not have a reliable funding source … going into the Affordable Housing Fund,” Muenzer said. “We are now anticipating that those funds will start to develop over the next few years with several planned development projects.”
Police Blotter Police investigate two auto theft cases
Evanston police officers are investigating an auto theft incident at The Autobarn of Evanston, 1033 Chicago Ave., on Thursday. At 4:18 p.m. officers were dispatched to The Autobarn after an employee reported the theft. A salesman told officers two men, one in his late teens and other around 20, came into the store saying they were shopping for a car, said Evanston Police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan.
Muenzer added the funds would likely be geared toward rental units, but ideally homeowners will also be included in the mix. Overall, the fiscal year 2016 budget is estimated to close with a surplus of about $1.7 million. The total proposed budget for fiscal year 2017 is $303.9 million, which is slightly less than last year’s budget of $304.5 million — a decrease of 0.8 percent. The city’s general fund, which pays for public safety, public works and community services, will comprise about 37 percent of the 2017 budget, or about $112 million, according to the proposal. City Manager Wally Bobkiewicz said last week the uncertainty of the Illinois state budget situation has forced Evanston to keep a “lean” budget. A 2.4 percent property tax increase was also proposed in order to increase the money in the police and fire department pension funds. Bobkiewicz said the pension situation was “still a challenge.” “The sheer dollar amounts that we are devoting to pensions is extraordinarily significant and takes away from our ability to do other things with that money,” Bobkiewicz said. “It is going to remain a challenge for the future.” Library Director Karen Danczak Lyons
wrapped up the budget presentation, proposing to the council the idea of hiring a full-time social worker to help some of the homeless and disadvantaged library patrons at both the main library and the Chicago Avenue/Main Street branch. For the last couple years, Danczak Lyons said, the library has been using social worker interns to help such patrons meet their respective needs and find appropriate social programs. Danczak Lyons said she recognizes obtaining grant funding for such a proposal will be difficult because of the ongoing state budget crisis, but the more “fragile” patrons are not getting the social services they need. “Many social programs are not taking any new cases,” Danczak Lyons said. “But making sure that, along with providing a safe place for our patrons to be everyday, that we can connect them to social services, that will really make a difference for them.” The city will be able to consider the library’s proposal before the final budget will be approved. A final budget will likely be approved in late November, Bobkiewicz said. A meeting for public input on the proposed budget will be held on Oct. 29.
After talking to a salesperson, one of the men went outside to the auto dealership lot and got into a black BMW that had keys inside. By the time the salesperson ran to the door of the car to try to stop him from leaving, the suspect shut the door and pulled away, Dugan said. The other man got into a silver vehicle, which authorities say is also a stolen car from a Chicago resident. The stolen BMW does not have a license plate, and the two men have not been identified yet. Detectives are looking into video footage from the car dealership and other ways to track
the car, Dugan said.

CARE men’s engagement head plans partnerships
Paul Ang will coordinate with staff from Social Justice Education, CAPS to bolster outreach to men By PETER KOTECKI
daily senior staffer @peterkotecki
Paul Ang, coordinator of men’s engagement at the Center for Awareness, Response and Education, will begin two new partnerships this quarter to increase awareness about men’s health. Starting Tuesday, Ang will join Robert Brown, director of Social Justice Education at Northwestern, in co-facilitating the second round of NU Men, a six-week dialogue program focused on critically examining masculinity. Ang is also partnering next month with Monika Gutkowska, interim assistant director of outreach and education at Counseling and Psychological Services. NU Men, which launched last year, will be offered once this quarter, but Ang said he hopes to tailor future programs to specific participants. NU Men aims to provide men on campus a space to explore and challenge their masculinity and to learn about systemic links between masculinity and violence. Although the skeleton of NU Men would remain the same, Ang said he and Brown are

Brown said he is excited to work with Ang this year and added that he will draw on his prior experience with masculinity-related work at Washington University in St. Louis and the
University of Wisconsin-Madison. In November, Ang and Gutkowska will launch discussion-based programs for male students on campus to discuss mental health and wellness. Gutkowska said the programming may also include discussions about relaxation and stress management, but the order of events has not

Newbern also appeared on episodes of “Friends” as one of Jennifer Aniston’s love interests and voiced the character of Superman in the animated series “Justice League” and “Justice League Unlimited.” Newbern landed his first major role starring in the 1991 film “Father of the Bride” and its sequel, “Father of the Bride Part II.” In addition to Newbern, the casts of the two films include Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Martin Short and fellow Northwestern alumna Kimberly WilliamsPaisley (Communication ‘93). At Northwestern, Newbern participated in
various student-run productions, including The Waa-Mu Show and The Dolphin Show. Newbern will lead the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally on Oct. 21. Sir Fraser Stoddart— winner of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry — will also appear in the parade, according to a news release.

There is significant stigma around men seeking mental health support, particularly at NU, Gutkowska said. She also noted that men are at a higher risk of suicide nationwide. A movie screening hosted by Ang reminded Gutkowska to continue working on getting more students on campus involved in the discussion about seeking help, she said. “I thought that we should probably do more and continue those conversations on campus, since we don’t have them enough,” Gutkowska said. Gutkowska said she and Ang will also encourage students, faculty and staff to participate in No Shave November in order to increase awareness about men’s health, particularly prostate cancer. She said she hopes to encourage male students to be vulnerable and compassionate, and added that she and Ang will focus on collaborating with student groups this year, including Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault and the Interfraternity Council. peterkotecki2018@u.northwestern.edu

ON MENTAL HEALTH
University should expand, not streamline, support EDSON MONTENEGRO
OP-ED CONTRIBUTER
Our campus needs more psychological resources, and “streamlining” existing ones is not the solution. In an attempt to streamline services, Northwestern plans to eliminate counseling from the Women’s Center and move mental health resources to the Counseling and Psychological Services facility. This move has the potential to hinder options for students with long-term needs. According to its website, the Women’s Center allots 52 sessions for survivors and those seeking support. Support previously offered by the Women’s Center will be funneled into the logistical confines of CAPS, which highlights and relies on “short term counseling.” These issues are not short term. At the Women’s Center, one simply makes a phone call to schedule an appointment, and a member of the counseling team will see them. CAPS differs greatly. Before an individual makes an appointment, they
must consult with a member at CAPS via phone call, who will decide whether or not the services at CAPS suffice for the student. Here is where things get tumultuous: As a survivor myself, it can be daunting, taxing and triggering to prove my case. This interview, in and of itself, insinuates victimization with questions like “Why should you be seen at CAPS?” or “How serious is your situation?” There is something inherently intimidating in consulting with someone over the phone and pleading my case in order to be seen by a counselor. There is something different between scheduling an appointment and proving that I need an appointment. NU needs to create more environments in which survivors are welcome to come as they please and speak freely without an initial screening. If an individual is allowed to access the resources at CAPS, the problems don’t disappear. As mentioned, the counseling center prides itself on effective “short term counseling,” making it seem like it wishes to fix students’ issues effective immediately and send them off to continue their NU careers. Some individuals simply need more time, which might prove difficult to manage
should there be an influx of new students who once sought such support from the Women’s Center. To add more counselors at CAPS would certainly help alleviate the lack of resources and personnel, but this may also not be enough. Some individuals need other forms of treatment. Our campus is desperately in need of more forms of support for sexual assault survivors who do not require some form of interview. Although the Center for Awareness, Response and Education doesn’t require an interview-like process and allows for more personalized experiences and online resources, it only has three staff members. CARE will have more on its plate after the closing of counseling at the Women’s Center. How many people can both CARE and CAPS accommodate simultaneously? The University should invest in expanding both services, while looking into creating new ones. More specialized forms of trauma support on our campus –– a more robust trauma center, for example –– could focus more comprehensively on those who need counseling for sexual assault, rape and other longer term issues. One or two floors of a building, a handful of counselors and a short-term focus do not suffice.
Streamlining resources should not cause more inconveniences for students attempting to seek support. If NU proceeds with the decision to halt counseling at the Women’s Center, the University must invest in and improve other counseling services on campus.

that is CAPS, the University should be focused on separating its functions into a robust toolbox of mental health facilities beyond just a singular option. The University should add mental health care facilities in other places on campus, as discussed in Edson Montenegro’s op-ed, perhaps making the idea of asking for help more accessible for those who don’t find CAPS appealing. I was able to take advantage of the University’s mental health resources because I had a support system and prior knowledge of CAPS, something not all students necessarily possess going in. The University seems to assume all students will go through a similar process. Yet counseling at the Women’s Center was more effective for many students because it created a holistically nurturing environment, as a recent op-ed by Ariana Hammersmith noted. Adding mental health resources does not necessarily mean they will be accessible to those who need them. What is the point of improving resources at CAPS if the people who need them aren’t comfortable enough to use them? Before administrators like Linzer restructure mental health resources on campus for the sake of efficiency, they must look beyond simply the net number of counselors. If making mental health resources accessible for the community is part of their agenda, NU administrators should

spread out, not centralize, CAPS resources. Putting resources in a variety of welcoming environments might help encourage people to reach out in the space that feels most comfortable to them.

Provost Dan Linzer’s defense of the recent plans for moving counseling services from the Women’s Center to Counseling and Psychological Services revealed how out of touch the administration is with the reality of mental health treatment on campus. Putting all mental health resources under the umbrella of CAPS would certainly make things easier for the school. However, what’s good for the University is not necessarily what’s good for students or others who use Northwestern’s mental health resources. Last April, the announcement that CAPS had removed its 12-session limit was met with resounding approval from students and parents. In an ironic twist, this apparent improvement may in fact become the cause of many challenges going forward regarding mental health resources. Removing the limit has apparently misled some to believe CAPS has shifted away from focusing on short-term forms of treatment, and Linzer cited the change as further justification
for eliminating counseling from the Women’s Center. By removing the 12-session limit, CAPS seems to have received the undeserved, unwanted and dangerous designation of the university’s mental health cure-all. I know from personal experience the clinically efficient nature of consolidating resources through CAPS often deters those who need help from reaching out. From its computerized intake forms to the dizzyingly long hallway of offices, CAPS first came off as cold and unwelcoming. This isn’t meant to disparage the effectiveness of CAPS’ resources. In my own experience, talking with CAPS counselors has been incredibly useful in helping me identify and address my own mental health obstacles. Nevertheless, it was also incredibly difficult to overcome the initial barrier of reaching out. My own experience with CAPS began long before I walked into their office on the second floor of 633 Emerson. Before I reached out, I had spent two weeks talking with close friends and mentally preparing to contact CAPS. Friends told me about the initial challenge of reaching out but still encouraged to take advantage of the resources. Without their advice, I’m not sure I would have gone. CAPS cannot be expected to handle all potential issues that might arise. Instead of adding personnel to the already overfilled tool

Police arrest man in connection with sexual assault at Evanston spa
Evanston police arrested a man Saturday in connection with a criminal sexual assault incident at a spa earlier in the week. A 20-year-old woman was getting a massage from massage therapist Kai Wang at Art of Health at 1638 Orrington Avenue at 5:20 p.m. last Thursday when she told her massage therapist she felt uncomfortable with the way he was touching her, Evanston Police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. Wang then allegedly reached under the towel, inappropriately touching the woman in the breast and vaginal area, Dugan said. The woman, who had been to the spa before, told the massage therapist she had to leave after feeling uncomfortable. Then Wang allegedly wrapped his arms around her, but the woman was able to escape the situation, Dugan said. The woman reported the incident later that day. After reviewing the case, the Cook County State’s Attorney approved two felony counts of sexual abuse and two felony counts of sexual assault. — Sam Krevlin
LANES
From page 1 said drivers need to slow down and people need to stop being “jerks” on the road. “We have to … work toward changing that culture and focusing on safety over convenience,” Wilson said. “The idea that bikes do this, cars do that. It’s not bikes, cars and pedestrians. It’s people. It’s human beings.” By reducing the speed limit and the lanes available to motor traffic, Associated Student Government President Christina Cilento said Sheridan Road could incentivize people to ride bikes or walk instead of drive. In a citizen comment, Cilento mentioned the resolution passed Oct. 12 in ASG Senate in support of the bike lanes. “Infrastructure can precede culture and can also shape culture,” Cilento told The Daily. “We should be building aspirationally toward decades from now.” After discussion of the bike lanes plan, alderman voted unanimously to approve a motion to reduce the speed limit on Sheridan Road from 30 to 25 mph. Emily Blim, a Communication senior, made a petition in September calling on the city to reduce the speed limit. The city will draft a speed limit ordinance, which aldermen will then vote on in the coming weeks. If passed, the lower speed limit would officially be implemented. ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu
TRUMP
From page 1 aspect of voting for Trump.” Cuautle, who now backs Trump, is one of several students at Northwestern who is hesitant to outwardly express their support for the Republican nominee. These students said they feel they will be criticized by their peers, especially on a campus with liberal leanings. Several students supporting Trump declined to speak to The Daily about their views on the candidate. Weinberg freshman Drew Zbihley faced a similar dilemma as Cuautle. He originally supported Sen. Marco Rubio but voted for Cruz in the Pennsylvania primary. Now, Zbihley said, he supports Trump. Zbihley said he has not been very open about his support with the exception of a select group of friends. In the short time he’s been on campus, he said he’s learned Northwestern is a left-leaning campus, and that he is reluctant to express his views to people he doesn’t know. “If I were to say I support Trump to a random group of people, I feel like I’d be immediately labeled whatever they want to label me — typically not in a good light — without really listening,” Zbihley said. “Everything I’d say from then on would be muted to them. They wouldn’t fully listen to what I’m saying.” During the summer, College Republicans’ Facebook page was spammed by users who accused the group of racism, said Cuautle, who serves as the group’s secretary of public relations. In September, the group’s executive board decided to neither endorse nor condemn Trump. “We decided the best way for us to help facilitate the discussion and to serve our goal of giving the conservative students a voice is to remain neutral as far as endorsing any one particular candidate,” College Republicans president Jack Stucky told The Daily in September.
SES
From page 1 also been working for the past two years to create the SES Common Application, modeled after an undergraduate admissions method where all applications are located in one central location. The program will serve as a central application for students to apply for various funds and scholarships across campus. “Currently, it’s a word-of-mouth process in terms of knowing what funds there are,” Cockrell said. “All of these applications exist as a paperand-pencil process, and our goal is to increase transparency.” In addition to publicizing fund availability, Cockrell said the SES Common App program will allow students to only need to tell their
College Democrats co-president Sydney Selix said she avoids engaging in arguments with Trump supporters because she feels it isn’t worth it. The SESP senior said she understands why Trump supporters on campus feel they can’t freely discuss their political beliefs. “They rightfully feel as though they will be judged because they will be judged,” Selix said. Cuautle and Zbihley both said they tend to disagree with the hyperbolic and controversial statements Trump makes. Zbihley said he condemns Trump’s comments revealed in footage published by The Washington Post, in which the candidate brags about sexually assaulting women. Trump has since called his comments “locker room talk.” “What he said was pretty disgusting honestly, and in no way do I think what he said was alright or acceptable by any means,” Zbihley said. But Zbihley still agrees with Trump about specific policies. Like many Republicans, Zbihley said, he wants to make sure the open Supreme Court seat is filled by a conservative judge. He also emphasized the role his faith played in his decision to support Trump. “I have a feeling Hillary’s going to come after the church and put into law that Catholic churches would have to give birth control and perform gay marriages,” Zbihley said. “That’s something that goes against Catholic religious beliefs and would be an infringement on our First Amendment rights.” Neither Clinton nor her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, have publically said they intend to force Catholic churches to perform gay marriages. Clinton tweeted in May that “every woman, no matter where she works, deserves birth control coverage.” Zbihley and Cuautle also discredited some of Trump’s ideas, such as building wall along the southern border, as being too unrealistic. “The wall is a very ineffective way of curbing
illegal immigration,” Cuautle said. “It’s a very simple minded thing to think, ‘Oh, let me build a big, physical barrier and nobody’s going to be able to get in.’” Zbihley and Cuautle both said they think there are more Trump supporters on campus who choose not to voice their beliefs out of fear of being judged. Cuautle said he sees NU moving in a more liberal direction, and that may discourage some Trump supporters from speaking out. As an example, he pointed to University President Morton Schapiro’s convocation speech in September, in which Schapiro blasted critics of safe spaces and trigger warnings on campus.
financial story one time. “Currently, in every application, students have to re-explain why they need the funds and (why they are) worthy of receiving them,” Cockrell said. “This will allow students to only have to tell it one time when they apply via the Common App, and that financial narrative will be saved in the application so they don’t have to say it again time after time.” SES is also working with the Northwestern Quest Scholars Network to improve its services. Cockrell said she hopes the office can continue to improve its relationships with the group so students can take advantage of both. McCormick senior Steffany Bahamon, Quest’s president, said the group has been helping administrators better understand first generation and low-income students on campus
through a student advocacy committee. “We’ve been trying hard to make sure they have a lot of student feedback for their different projects,” Bahamon said. “Unfortunately, the topic is so large and buried that it’s been difficult to find a way to attack the problem head on.” Bahamon said the group is providing input about different projects within SES, including how to streamline the SES Common App and how to make course materials more affordable. “Overall, we have had successful conversations,” Bahamon said. “SES is working very hard to help Quest. As students, we are learning more about what (SES) can do and they hear our perspective, which has helped in brainstorming ways they can better help us out.”

I don’t feel persecuted per se, but for the first time in my life I have felt significantly like a minority. Drew Zbihley, Weinberg freshman
“It’s become more and more the stereotypical liberal campus,” Cuautle said. “When Morty gave his speech to the freshmen and it was all about safe spaces, that was clearly a shift toward the left.” Zbihley said the liberal atmosphere on campus hasn’t been too overwhelming, but he does feel like he’s had to stay quiet in some situations. Overall, he said he doesn’t like confrontation, leading him to avoid engaging in many political discussions. “I don’t feel persecuted per se, but for the first time in my life I have felt significantly like a minority,” Zbihley said. jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

Second round struggles doom Cats in Stanford loss By JOE WILKINSON
the daily northwestern @joe_f_wilkinson
It was more of the same this weekend for Northwestern at the Stanford Intercollegiate, where the Wildcats got out to another hot start before playing themselves out of competition in the second round. NU led the tournament by two strokes after round one, shooting 1-over as a team. The Cats were once again led by junior Hannah Kim, who fired a 2-under round and was tied for second on the individual leaderboard. “I was just hitting my shots really well,” Kim said. “I was really rolling my putts really well too.” Day two was a different story, as the wind and rain led to a 23-over round from the Cats. It was also a different story for Kim, who fired a 4-over round and finished tied for eighth individually after round three was cancelled due to rain.

8 Louisville and Iowa will likely push the Cats out of the top 10. NU’s offense, among the national leaders in several categories until recently, struggled again. The Cats’ only goal against the Hawkeyes came midway through the first half, when junior midfielder Elena Curley redirected

NU’s 23-over was the third-worst round of any team in the 16-team field on Saturday and dropped the Cats to eighth overall, their second straight less-than-stellar result. “We just made too many mistakes,” coach Emily Fletcher said. “We kind of compounded our errors. I think we had five triple bogeys and two doubles, and you just can’t make those kind of numbers.” Senior Kacie Komoto was responsible for two of those triple bogeys on day two, en-route to a 7-over second round. After carding a 3-over in round one, Komoto ended in a tie for 45th overall in the tournament, her worst finish of the year so far. “It was a little rough,” Komoto said. “I just had a few bad holes, and I’m not going to get bogged down by that. It wasn’t something consistently popping up. Most of my golf was good, and I just need to take the good right now.” Komoto was not the only NU golfer to struggle. Sophomore Stephanie Lau finished at 8-over for the tournament after shooting
senior midfielder Isabel Flens’ shot after a miscue on a penalty corner sequence. After that point, the offense looked much as it did against Indiana a week earlier: It generated several quality scoring opportunities but failed to convert any of them. NU had only six shots on goal and five penalty corners but still generated a few excellent chances, including a Flens breakaway late in the first half and a pair of close-range shots from a corner just before the end of regulation. “It’s always really frustrating,” Flens said of missed opportunities. “All game we had some good chances, and we have to build from that, hoping next week … we get a little more luck.” Earlier in the week, Fuchs pinpointed corner execution both offensively and defensively as areas in need of improvement following last week’s losses. The Cats did well on that front offensively, converting on one of five opportunities, but continued to struggle defensively.
9-over in the second round, while junior Sarah Cho ended tied for 53rd at 11-over on the weekend. Sophomore Janet Mao had the second best finish of the team in her tie for 18th, but she also shot 4-over on Friday with a double bogey of her own. “The second day we just got off to a poor start,” Fletcher said. “They came out ready to play that second day, and it wasn’t from lack of effort. Sometimes as a coach you can sit back and see that you can hardly get out of your own way.” The Cats will have plenty of time to get out of their own way as a disappointing fall season comes to a close. After returning its entire starting lineup from the team that took ninth at last year’s NCAA Championships, NU went winless and managed only two top-five finishes in its four fall tournaments. The Cats return to action in February with the Northrop Grumman Regional Challenge. josephwilkinson2019@u.northwestern.edu
NU did hold Iowa to only five corners, but the Hawkeyes took full advantage, scoring both of their goals directly from corners. “The main thing we tried to focus on was composure and getting it out of our circle,” junior back Sophia Miller said. “In general we did a good job, but they took advantage of their chances, and they executed them well, unfortunately.” Though the Cats lost the game and have been stumbling on the scoresheet, Fuchs said they are not playing poorly. With a big conference matchup with No. 12 Michigan looming next week, Fuchs is hoping for incremental improvement, not wholesale changes. “I hope it festers a little bit so that we can really come out and play a strong game (against Michigan), but we’re right there,” Fuchs said. “We’re a young team, still growing, and we just need to keep getting better.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu

something I’ve always dreamed of, and I’m just happy it came to be.” Riding some momentum after one of its rare wins this season, Lenahan said the team is now turning its focus to No. 2 Notre Dame on Tuesday. “They’re ranked number one in a couple of polls, including the RPI which is probably the most important poll,” Lenahan said. “We’re certainly going to have our hands full.” The Fighting Irish (10-2-1) lost 1-0 Friday night against Virginia. They will face the Cats Tuesday night at Toyota Field, home to the Chicago Fire of the MLS, where NU tied Notre Dame 1-1 last season. “We’re ready to get the team going,” Mattias Tomasino said about the game against the Fighting Irish. “We can survive them.” alfaro@u.northwestern.edu

NEVER TOO LATE Goals from Medina, Tomasino push Wildcats to overtime win

For about 80 minutes Friday, it seemed like Rutgers would get its first win of the season, but Northwestern had other plans. The Wildcats (3-9-1, 2-3-1 Big Ten) managed to defeat conference rival Rutgers (0-10-2, 0-4-2) 2-1 thanks to a last-ditch equalizer by senior midfielder
Brandon Medina and an overtime golden goal by freshman defender Mattias Tomasino. The Scarlet Knights scored the night’s first goal in the 24th minute, and the game continued with a 1-0 scoreline until late in the second half. Despite the deficit, NU continued battling on the field, outshooting Rutgers 16 to 15. The tables finally turned when Coach Tim Lenahan substituted Medina onto the field in the 81st minute. Seven
minutes later, Medina turned the game on its head, scoring the Cats’ first goal and forcing overtime. Though it was Medina’s third career goal, it was quite unlike his first two, which both came off penalty kicks against Florida Gulf Coast back in August. Medina said this one was instinctive, as he fired a volley from the top of the box into the corner to equalize in the 88th minute. “(It) was one of those moments when
it’s just you and the ball and you don’t see anything around you,” Medina said. Medina’s goal revitalized NU heading into sudden-death overtime. Ten minutes into extra time, Tomasino scored his first collegiate goal, closing the game and allowing the Cats to leave New Jersey with a guaranteed spot in the Big Ten Tournament. Tomasino scored off a cross from sophomore midfielder Camden Buescher. Coach Lenahan said Tomasino’s goal
might be the first time in school history the brother of an NU goalkeeper scored a game-winning goal. Mattias Tomasino joined his brother, junior Francisco Tomasino, on the team this year. On Friday, the Miami-natives played the entirety of the 100 minutes of the game together. “One of the main reasons why I came to Northwestern was to play with my brother,” Mattias Tomasino said. “It’s » See MEN’S SOCCER, page 7

NU slumps to third straight loss Cats’ defense strong, No. 16 Iowa
By COLE PAXTON

A lot can change in a week. After recently suffering their first 0-2 weekend since 2011, the No. 9 Wildcats (10-5, 4-2 Big Ten) failed to rebound, falling 2-1 in overtime to No. 16 Iowa (10-6, 2-4) on Friday. The loss gave NU its first three-game losing streak in five years and its first

home defeat of the season. “It was a good Big Ten battle,” coach Tracey Fuchs said. “We had more than enough chances to win the game … but we just need to play more loose.”
After eight straight wins in September and early October, including key victories over then-No. 4 Penn State and then-No. 6 Maryland, pushed NU to the top of the Big Ten and as high as No. 6 in the country, the Cats have slipped significantly. NU’s first conference loss came last Friday at Indiana, which entered the match 0-5 against ranked teams. The subsequent losses to then-No. » See FIELD HOCKEY, page 7

offense quiet in draw No. 22 Northwestern
By ROBBIE MARKUS
daily senior staffer
Going into its game at Nebraska on Sunday, No. 22 Northwestern was one win away from first place in Big Ten conference standings. But for now, the Wildcats will have to settle for second. NU (13-1-2, 6-1-2 Big Ten) stuck with the Cornhuskers (10-5-2, 4-3-2) for 110 minutes, resulting in a scoreless, double-overtime draw after both teams failed to find the net. Going in, the game seemed to be a matchup of strengths. Nebraska’s forward Jaycie Johnson and midfielder Haley Hanson have combined for 17 goals this year, while junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem and the Cats’ defense had notched 11 clean sheets in 15 games going into Sunday. NU’s defense again shined, earning another shutout in a game where the Cats only allowed four shots on goal. Coach Michael Moynihan said he loved the tough mentality Clem and the defense have fostered this year. “They’re willing to do whatever it takes,” Moynihan said. “Sliding, diving, whatever they need to do to put their body in front to block shots. … They respect that about each other.” Despite the solid performance, graduate defender Kaitlin Moore said the defense had trouble adjusting to Nebraska’s 4-4-2 formation before a halftime tactical change helped NU better contain the Cornhuskers. Nebraska managed 10 shots in the first half, but just five in the second half. Meanwhile, Nebraska’s defense gave the Cats similar problems. Although Moynihan said NU had some great

chances, it simply couldn’t find a way to get the ball into the back of the net. Junior midfielder Kassidy Gorman, who has recently thrived at forward in place of other injured attackers, said the team wasn’t disappointed with the draw. “We tried to get as many chances as we could, knowing that we were playing a tough and brutal team,” Gorman said. “We’re very happy coming out with a tie.” Despite the point picked up in the draw, goal production has been a consistent problem for the Cats, who now have had eight games with one goal scored or fewer. On Sunday, NU managed two shots on goal and took just five shots in the 110-minute game. Moore said NU may try to get the defense more involved in the offense to create more opportunities. “In some of our earlier games, we tried to get our outside backs involved in the attack,” Moore said. “That’s something we’ll try to do going forward.” The Cats now sit in a tie for second with Minnesota in the Big Ten standings, one point behind conference-leading Penn State. For an NU team with a goal of winning the conference, the Cats’ next matchup at home against Minnesota now takes on greater importance. robinsonmarkus2019@u.northwestern.edu
