ASG fails to give out stipend Funds for student engagement not awarded this year By ERICA SNOW
the daily northwestern @ericasnoww
Amanda Walsh didn’t buy textbooks this quarter. A Communication senior and former president of Northwestern’s Quest Scholars Network chapter, Walsh said she planned to buy books with a share of an Associated Student Government-sponsored stipend for students heavily involved in extracurriculars — but the applications were never released and the funds were not disbursed. The Student Engagement Stipend, a fund awarded to 20 students by ASG of $500 each, aimed to help students with financial need pursue time-consuming student group positions and was established in 2014. Walsh sat on the committee that reviewed student applications that year and planned to apply for the stipend this academic year. ASG allotted $10,000 to the stipend program
in this academic year’s internal budget, which was $80,000 total. But this academic year, the funds were not paid out because discussion over how to reform the process has not yet been resolved, former ASG president Noah Star said. Instead, the funds will “roll back” to the pool of money ASG controls, he said. Walsh said although the process may have been imperfect, the money would’ve been beneficial to her and other students. “I was already planning on the ways I could use that money,” Walsh said. “It was really frustrating that logistics and because something wasn’t perfect and something wasn’t the best it could be would take that opportunity from students like myself.” In 2014, part of the application review process involved a committee of students — who didn’t have access to applicants’ financial aid data — ranking applications based on merit, before the Center for Student Involvement, now called the Office of Campus Life, weighed in. Star, a Weinberg senior, said he objected to how large a role students played in determining their peers’ » See STIPEND, page 6

When one of the members of Rae Sremmurd asked the room if Northwestern is “always this lit,” the crowd’s response was mixed.
Nonetheless, hundreds of NU students crowded the dance floor for the southern hip hop act’s set at A&O Ball, co-hosted by For Members Only, on Friday night at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. With about 1,800 tickets sold for this year’s Ball, students spent the night
jumping and dancing as headliner Rae Sremmurd pumped music out of the speakers and even chucked half-eaten pineapples into the mosh pit. The duo of brothers Khalif “Swae Lee” Brown and Aaquil “Slim Jxmmi” » See BALL, page 6
Fight for $15 rallies in Evanston By MARIANA ALFARO

WAGES PROTEST Workers, protesters and activists march to the Burger King on Orrington Avenue on Sunday afternoon to protest low wages in Evanston. The marchers later demonstrated outside McDonald’s on Dempster Street.
Evanston workers, activists and community members marched to Burger King, 1740 Orrington Ave., Sunday afternoon as part of a demonstration against low wages and poor working conditions in fast food restaurants across the city. Fight for $15, an international movement that supports workers who are campaigning for higher wages and union rights, held the demonstration at Evanston’s Fountain Square. The event, which was also intended to celebrate International Workers’ Day, was the first time Fight for $15 held a rally in Evanston. Participants later delivered a petition to the McDonald’s on 1919 Dempster St. that requested better workplace conditions for
employees, higher wages and unionization. About 80 people attended the rally, where activists, workers, community members and state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) spoke to the crowd in support of higher wages. The minimum wage in Evanston is the state-mandated $8.25 an hour. In comparison, Chicago increased its minimum wage to $10 last year. By 2019, Chicago plans to raise it to $13. In an interview with The Daily last month, Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said although she supports a minimum wage of $15, she doesn’t think Evanston will implement it until it becomes a statewide ordinance. “It’s a good thing to do, I think it is a necessary thing to do but I do think it needs to be statewide,” she said. Gabriel Machabanski, a member of Open Communities, a group that combats
housing discrimination in Chicago’s north suburbs, said during the rally that it is unfair for workers on the “other side of Howard (Street)” to receive an income so different from those who work in Chicago. “Evanston is becoming increasingly less welcoming to its low-income residents by way of rising property values and lack of affordable housing and … stagnant poverty wages,” he said. Before marching to Burger King, various Evanston residents spoke about their experiences working for fast food restaurants in the area. Carlota Gomez, who has worked in an Evanston McDonald’s for over 20 years, said she was protesting verbal abuse in her workplace and was advocating not only for $15 wages but also for worker unionization and the right to drink water while working. » See FIGHT, page 6
Rapper ScHoolboy Q to perform as Dillo Day headliner By EMILY CHIN
daily senior staffer @emchin24
Rapper ScHoolboy Q will perform at Dillo Day this year as the festival’s headliner, Mayfest announced Sunday night. ScHoolboy Q, whose real name is Quincy Matthew Hanley, dropped his first mixtape, “ScHoolboy Turned Hustla,” in 2008. Since then, he has released
three albums: “Setbacks” in 2011, “Habits & Contradictions” in 2012 and “Oxymoron” in 2014. “What you get is a lot of more classic rapping, more tighter rhymes, the style of rap that a lot of people really enjoy at shows,” said Mayfest spokeswoman Elisa O’Neal. “Not everyone is really into rap, but because of the singles and the amount of music that he’s put out that is widely popular that’s broken out of rap circles, we’re excited about what he’ll bring to the stage.”
Serving the University and Evanston since 1881
The rapper has also collaborated with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Chris Brown, A$AP Rocky and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. He also worked with Anderson .Paak, another Dillo Day artist, on the single “Am I Wrong.” O’Neal, a SESP senior, said ScHoolboy Q’s collaborations with other artists will make him more recognizable to students, even if they aren’t as familiar with a lot of his work. C ommunication junior
Yumiko Mannarelli, Mayfest’s director of concerts, said she thinks students will respect the fact that ScHoolboy Q has worked with so many well-known artists in the past, and many students will recognize his name. She said she wanted to bring a headliner who has well-known hits, but also can perform newer material. ScHoolboy Q released his newest single, “Groovy Tony,” in April and will be releasing a new album soon. “Some of his tracks are still
so relevant despite how long ago they came out, and I think that speaks to just how incredible of an artist he is,” Mannarelli said. “We’re not going to bring someone who’s a one-hit wonder. As a headliner he’s an incredible choice because of the things he’s done in the past, the people he’s worked with and the places he’s going to go.” Dillo Day will take place May 21. emilychin2018@u.northwestern.edu

Around Town ‘Stand Against Racism’ march draws thousands By KESHIA JOHNSON
the daily northwestern
Thousands of people joined YWCA Evanston/ North Shore in a demonstration to fight racism on Friday, an event that some locals said carried particular weight in light of three homicides of black men in the city’s area during this year alone. Event participants, including police officers, local school teachers and members of the Northwestern community filled the sidewalks at the intersection of Ridge Avenue and Church Street with orange signs asking people to “Stand Against Racism.” Last year’s event in Evanston drew about 10,000 people, and YWCA officials estimated a similar turnout this year. University Police officer Lisa Jackson, a first time participant, said she was “touched” by the event because of the support the community showed her as a black female police officer. Jackson said people seemed more willing to approach her and engage in dialogue about race than when she began working as an officer in Evanston more than a decade ago. “I’ve been working here for approximately 12 years, and I can feel the shift in a positive direction … not only in my department but in the University as a whole,” Jackson said. Eileen Heineman, co-director of the Racial Justice Program at YWCA Evanston/North Shore, said this is a national event that is held across the country by local chapters of YWCA, allowing

participants to take initiative to raise awareness about racism. “All across the country today, in many sorts of ways, people will be standing outside, hearing speakers, doing programs,” Heineman said. “It’s an effort to unite us in saying we know racism still exists.”
Heineman noted that people can collectively work together to help transform inequity. This was the fifth year that YWCA Evanston/North Shore participated in the initiative, she added. The event is an opportunity for people to realize they are not alone in working to raise awareness about racism, Heineman said.
location of a coffee shop nearby, the Evanston Police Department said in a news release. He then asked her to show him how to get there, proceeding to exit the vehicle and open the passenger door for her to step inside. When the girl refused and backed away, the man drove off, the release said. The man was described to be a short, 20 to 30 years old, Hispanic and wearing a goatee.
A 49-year-old homeless man was charged Wednesday with simple battery. A 45-year-old Elmhurst resident and a 43-year-old Evanston resident were doing construction work on Ryan Field when they saw the man attempting to open parked car doors on the street, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. The Elmhurst resident reported that when they approached the man to ask him what he was doing, he became agitated and made threatening gestures to the men, Dugan said.

“It gives the young people from Northwestern and the people who have been doing it for 50 years (the opportunity to) look down the street and say, there’s a lot of us trying to do this and it gives us some hope,” she said. Njoki Kamau, associate director at the Women’s Center at NU, said this was her second time attending the event. Last year, she recalled, attendees stood on the intersection of Sheridan Road and Foster Street without signs, but this year she said she came more prepared. Kamau said she was pleased to see many of her colleagues take time out of their days to come support the cause. “It just gives me joy just to know that there are that many people at least who are aware and who would take time from their very busy schedules to come to do something like this,” she said. “I felt my community from Northwestern, it was a great moment.” Jackson said participating in the event made her feel supported by the Evanston community in that people were not only acknowledging that racism still exists but were actively taking a stand against it. “(The event) made me reflect on the pain that I experienced as a black female officer and the resilience that I have,” Jackson said. “It shows that we not only acknowledge racism but that we are taking a stand against racism.” cenkeshiajohnson2014@u.northwestern.edu The workers called the police and continued to follow the homeless man through the 1600 block of Central Street. The man grew more agitated and spit in their faces, Dugan said. Although the 49-year-old man spit at both of these men, only the Elmhurst resident decided to press charges, Dugan said. The man is scheduled to appear at the Skokie Courthouse on May 10. — Juliet Freudman

On Campus Student-run food delivery to debut

General Manager Stacia Campbell

A student-run food delivery service featuring free delivery, no minimum order count and bulk drop-offs at popular campus locations will launch this month. The company, Foodrop, works through a free app with a selection of menu items from three or four Evanston restaurants that change on a daily basis, said Kristen Zhou, a Kellogg and McCormick graduate student and Foodrop team leader. Zhou said Foodrop aims to improve on current web-based food delivery services, such as Grubhub and Postmates, hoping to avoid long wait times and high delivery fees. Foodrop was created by a team of five Northwestern students as a project for the Farley Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation’s NUvention: Web + Media course, a two-quarter class comprising graduate and undergraduate students that goes through the process of launching a web-based business, said McCormick Prof. Michael Marasco, Farley Center director and the class’ professor. After students order their food and select a drop-off time and location, Foodrop will aggregate and deliver students’ meals to spots on campus such as the Donald P. Jacobs Center, Technological Institute, Ford Center and The Garage that are far from downtown restaurants and contain a high concentration of people, Zhou said. Jack Qiu, a team member who focuses on operations and marketing, said limiting the number of menu items available will expedite food delivery. “We wanted to offer a variety but we also wanted to keep it simple,” the McCormick senior said. “This way, we can give restaurants a lot of the same orders so they can make a lot of food at the same time.” Zhou said the company intends to partner

with at least 10 restaurants and has already performed test runs with Chipotle Mexican Grill, Soulwich and 527 Cafe. “Most of the restaurants really want to get on board, especially the small local ones that haven’t gotten enough business,” she said. “It’s a great marketing channel for them.” Zhou also said the model conveniences both students and the company, particularly through its bulk orders feature. Drivers save time going back and forth, and it minimizes long waits for students on campus who eat at similar times and locations, she said. Qiu said the other unique features of Foodrop, such as food variety and no delivery fees or
order minimums, make the service particularly useful for busy college students. “People are going to know that their food will arrive at a certain time, and for a structured day, that’s what students need,” he said. Marasco said despite initial concerns about the competitiveness of the food delivery market, the students showed admirable persistence. “The team was nreally passionate about the space ad felt that they were filling an unmet need,” he said. “They have a new perspective on it and a unique business model, and I think there’s space in the market for something like it.” juliadoran2018@u.northwestern.edu

More than banners needed to end sexual assault JESS SCHWALB
DAILY COLUMNIST
Northwestern buzzed this April with conversation about how sexual violence touches our campus — from Sex Week to the Take Back the Night March to last week’s statement at The Rock. Interfraternity Council chapters hung banners in the fraternity quad reading “(fraternity name) supports survivors” or “It’s everyone’s problem.” Although perpetration of sexual assault is not limited to Greek men, a 2005 study by Ohio University found that men in fraternities were three times more likely to commit sexual assault than non-affiliated male students. These banners publicly project an image of solidarity, and some chapters made signs and marched with Take Back the Night. A congratulations is hardly in order, however. Conversations about sexual assault within fraternities must continue beyond a single month of awareness or solitary presentation from Sexual Health and Assault Peer Educators or Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault. Fraternity men must hold friends accountable or else their banners are just cruel reminders that attempts to change sexual culture in fraternities are purely symbolic. Although this is not an issue that holds importance only in April, it gained particular attention earlier this month when news came out that University Police received four reports of sexual assault in a nine-day span. (The frequency of

HOUSE BANNERS Fraternities hung banners in support of sexual assault victims. April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
underreporting makes this number a probable underestimate of actual assaults occurring on our campus.) Conversations about sexual assault are held during Wildcat Welcome Essential NUs, and some fraternity chapters host MARS presentations with new members in order to discuss bystander intervention. But more often than not these conversations are singular, with little emphasis on carrying dialogue onward. Talking about sexual assault once does not
excuse complicity in the ongoing violence on campus. Issues of consent are complex — even more so when alcohol is involved — and fraternities are hardly the only spaces where sexual violence occurs. However, nationally only around 40 percent of sexual assault cases result in an expulsion or suspension, according to a Washington Post analysis of 100 universities between 2012-2013. This leaves perpetrators on campus and often in their chapters. When, nationally, fraternity men disproportionately
commit sexual misconduct, hanging banners is not enough. In her book “Campus Sex, Campus Security” feminist scholar Jennifer Doyle asks what it would look like for a campus to be held accountable for its sexual culture. What would it look like for IFC chapters to be held accountable for the sexual culture they create at NU? What would it look like for Panhellenic Association as a national organization to be held accountable for the sexual culture it creates by limiting parties and alcohol to male-dominated spaces? What would it look like for conversations about sexual assault to be ongoing on campus, instead of simply occurring for the purpose of checking a box or reacting to demonstrations? It looks like always keeping an eye on friends’ drinking and who they’re trying to take home. It looks like asking if a friend is interested in and capable of going home with someone. It looks like sororities hosting parties so that women on campus have control over who gets through the door and what they drink. It looks like a radical shift in our discourse about sexually active women — toward support instead of shame. Holding ourselves accountable to our role in shaping NU’s sexual culture, the parts both good and bad, requires conversations that continue beyond April. It requires more than a banner.

Distractions can assist in overall work productivity CAROLINE VAKIL
DAILY COLUMNIST
I’m sitting at a cafe an hour before my class starts with the intent of catching up on the day’s readings. A minute later, I’m perusing Facebook, reading articles from The New Yorker and writing this column. Even though I tell myself every time that I’m going to change my habits and try focusing on my work, I can’t help but neglect it for the moment in exchange for the greater pleasure of doing something else. Many of us hate the idea of being unproductive. There are a million things we think we have to do and a small span of time in which to get things done — we rush against the clock to get it all done in the course of a day. And often we become frustrated with ourselves because we fail to achieve the
laundry list of things we want to get done. We’re failing to achieve the ideal day of work. But it’s toxic to think this way because being unproductive is often productive. Saying that we’re going to work on homework for three hours straight without taking a break or checking Facebook is simply not realistic, and we should not assume it is even possible. We are not meant to exert all of our energy into one thing for such a long span of time. We get drained. Many studies have proven that taking a break can be healthy and even increase your productivity. One 2012 study by researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan found that when researchers asked a group of people to look at cute animal photos before playing a game, they were able to finish the game faster and with more efficiency than the group of people who did not look at the pictures of cute animals. Although it might sound silly, there’s a good reason for our online kitten and puppy craze — they not only are cute to look at, but also make us more productive, too.

More importantly, it’s not what you do necessarily that makes you more productive, but how much time you give yourself away from your work. The app DeskTime measures the computer use of employees. Data from the app showed that the top 10 percent of employees in terms of productivity worked for 52 minutes and then took a 17-minute break, often away from their computers. Small, frequent breaks are important because they re-energize you and keep you focused so that you come back to your work with a fresh eye. Plus, I know from personal experience that I don’t work effectively if I stay in one spot for too long. The longer I work on a math problem or an essay without short breaks in between, the more mistakes I’m apt to make, even if it’s making silly grammar mistakes or switching negative and positive signs in a formula. Smaller mistakes can soon mount to bigger issues, and I find that I expend more time fixing my mistakes than it would take for me to just take a short break in the first

place. It’s also important to be honest with ourselves about our limitations. I know myself well enough to know I won’t finish this column in one sitting, and that’s OK because I space out a reasonable amount of time to write it rather than assume I can write it an hour. Sure, you can call it procrastination, but I call it realistic thinking of how I spend my time. This is the system that works best for me. I’m not going to suggest how you should spend your time or what a break necessarily should look like. Taking breaks will not hurt you. To be productive we have to be unproductive.

financial fate. He said ASG was “actively in conversation” with administrators about the program throughout the year, but because it reached no satisfying reforms, Star said ASG decided to use this year as a “fact-gathering and brainstorming year” instead. In addition, Star said SESP junior Matt Herndon’s unexpected resignation as vice president for accessibility and inclusion in November made administering the program less feasible. Deciding to delay the stipend a year was ultimately a correct decision, Star said, because it gave future leaders more time to decide how to change the system and implement the stipend using a more fair process. “We’re acutely aware of the impact (of ) not having a program this year,” Star said. “But we do believe that putting forward without improving it in the way it needed to be improved after its pilot year would’ve been a mistake in terms of making sure a program like this exists in the long term.” Jourdan Dorrell is ASG’s vice president for accessibility and inclusion and served on the committee in 2014. She said the problem wasn’t with individual members of the committee who reviewed applications, but the structure of peer review may have favored some student groups more than others. “Looking back, I do think that is one of the biggest reasons why we didn’t do again because there was no way to make it completely fair,” the Weinberg junior said. Current ASG president Christina Cilento said she wants to make the student review process more objective. Cilento, a SESP junior, plans on presenting the 2016-17 budget for Senate’s approval at Wednesday’s meeting. Included will be $10,000 for the renewal of the stipend, and she said she is interested in partnering with Student Enrichment Services to put the stipend application on SES’s newly launched online common application. Cilento said the review process could be more fair by emphasizing the hours a student devotes to a group instead of the name of the student group. “The stipend fits in really well with the types of things Macs (Vinson) and I wanted to accomplish during our year,” Cilento said. “We have two very different ways the stipend has been treated: One year it was allocated, and the next year it wasn’t. Looking back on that, we can maybe understand why both of those happened and try to move forward and create something that will work for this upcoming year.”
At 1 p.m., the group marched toward Burger King, where they chanted slogans such as “The people united will never be defeated” and “Put $15 on our check” in English and Spanish. Afterward, they moved to the McDonald’s where they were initially not let into the restaurant’s

From page 1 Brown turned up the heat Friday the moment they hit the stage. The pair opened with “Start A Party,” the crowd bouncing up and down in sync. The brothers sang their hits, too, including “Come Get Her,” “Unlock The Swag,” “No Type” and “This Could Be Us.” The brothers even got the crowd involved, at one point bringing some students up on stage to dance with the DJ. The duo also whipped water from open bottles at the crowd and criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump before dropping
premises. Once inside, they continued chanting the same slogans before being escorted outside by Evanston Police Department officers. Rosa Villaseñor, who works for Aramark at Northwestern, said she went to the protest in support of friends and colleagues who are struggling with their wages in Evanston fast food restaurants. She said these workers sometimes receive
threats telling them to stop protesting, which is why they accept current wages. “Even though they’re paid low wages, people prefer that to nothing,” Villaseñor said. Before the protest ended, organizers announced a May 25 march to the McDonald’s shareholder meeting in Oak Brook, Illinois.
“Up Like Trump.” “We should’ve enrolled in college here,” Khalif Brown told the audience. Electronic dance musician Baauer warmed the crowd up before Rae Sremmurd took the stage, combining booming bass drops and strobe lights. Baauer’s set included spinning hip-hop hits such as Kendrick Lamar’s”M.A.A.D. City” into heavy trap remixes. The DJ closed his set out with “Harlem Shake,” a song that became an international phenomenon after a viral video trend. A&O co-chair Cory Goldman said the turnout for Baauer was better than for previous years’ opening acts, as students were excited to see him.
“Ball in general was a good show,” the Weinberg senior said. “We hadn’t brought in a DJ like that in a while so that was really exciting. Rae Sremmurd was amazing.” SESP junior Damilola Arowolaju, FMO’s vice coordinator of external relations, said he thought A&O did a good job of coordinating the event and that he appreciated seeing a crowd of NU students having fun together in one space. “Everyone did a good job of putting things together,” Arowolaju said. “It was great to see NU students get together and just have a good time.”

Northwestern crushes Ohio State, forging easier path to NCAA tourney By DAN WALDMAN
the daily northwestern @dan_waldman
Sophomore midfielder Selena Lasota lined up at the draw circle with just over 25 minutes remaining in the team’s most important game of the season. Ohio State had just scored 4 straight goals and tied the game at 11. Northwestern was on the verge of blowing the game and diminishing almost any chance it had of making the NCAA Tournament. But Lasota wasn’t going to let that happen. The sophomore stared down the goal as the referee blew the whistle. She knocked down the draw control to herself and sprinted down the field, dodging past a swarm of Buckeye defenders. Lasota cranked back her stick and ripped a shot past the Ohio State goalie for her 4th goal of the game, but had no intentions of easing up. No. 15 NU (8-8, 3-2 Big Ten) claimed a critical win over No. 19 Ohio State (11-5, 2-3 Big Ten) in the team’s regular-season finale. The Cats needed to come away with a win in Columbus to finish the season with a .500 record. Now, NU must win at least one game in the Big Ten Tournament to be eligible for the NCAA Tournament

in May. The Cats started the game trading goals with the Buckeyes. But with 19:04 remaining in the first half, Lasota sparked a 4-goal run for NU with additional goals coming from senior attacker Kaleigh Craig and freshman attacker Leighton Yenor. The three combined for 15 of the team’s 22 goals in the game. Craig said the team focused on having a multitude of options on offense, as it was something NU struggled with in its loss to Penn State last weekend. “We definitely wanted to have a bunch of scoring threats,” Craig said. “We’ve been lacking in that, especially last game, and we really needed to pick that up. The more we work together the better we do on offense — it’s showed in other games too.” But following the Cats’ scoring stretch, Ohio State chipped its way back into the game. The Buckeyes’ attackers Cian Dabrowski and Molly Wood combined for 7 goals in the game and helped to bring the team within 3 goals going into halftime. Ohio State scored 4 goals in less than 5 minutes to begin the second half to tie the game at 11. But Lasota took over. “It was just coming out like we were 10 goals down,” Lasota said. “We knew that we really had to fight and Ohio State is a really great
team. We knew we had to put on the gas when we were in that backand-forth situation.” Lasota followed the Buckeyes’ scoring streak by scoring 5 more goals of her own. The sophomore already had scored a hat trick in the first half and tallied her 7th goal of the game with 19:15 left in the game. Her scoring outbreak opened a 16-11 Cats lead and the team never looked back. NU went on to score 6 more times, giving the team a season-high 22 goals. Coach Kelly Amonte Hiller pulled Lasota after the sophomore sniper scored her 8th goal, and the program’s leader watched as her team cruised to a commanding victory in the final game of the season. The Cats will now gear up for the Big Ten Tournament hosted in Evanston next weekend. NU will then face a must-win situation in the first round, but for now Amonte Hiller said the team is just enjoying the victory. “I don’t think of it in the big scheme of things,” Amonte Hiller said.”We’re happy about the performance and we’re going to enjoy it for the bus ride home and then we’re going to get back to work. We still have a lot to prove and we have a big game against probably either Rutgers or Michigan depending on their game tomorrow.” danielwaldman2019@u.northwestern.edu

Cats knocked out by Michigan NU falls to Illinois By MIKE MARUT
daily senior staffer @mikeonthemic93
Following an emotional victory over Michigan at the end of the regular season, Northwestern found itself facing the Wolverines again in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Michigan regained the upper hand and swept the match 4-0, eliminating NU from the competition. No. 11 Michigan (20-6, 10-1) claimed the doubles point with wins at courts No. 1 and No. 2. The Cats (13-10, 10-1 Big Ten) had a shot at the doubles point, taking the doubles match on court No. 3, but junior Brooke Rischbieth and senior Alicia Barnett could not win the deciding match at No. 2 doubles. After doubles play, the Cats had trouble jump-starting the singles courts with four of the six first sets belonging to the Wolverines. Early on in the match, the Big Ten Tournament moved indoors due to weather conditions. With a change of court, NU also hoped for a change in momentum. “We definitely tried to use (the court change) to our advantage,” Barnett said. “We were all down at one point outside, and when the rain came, we kept telling each other, ‘We can do this. Let’s use this and turn it around.’” That change never came. NU lost in straight sets on the Nos. 3, 4 and 5

courts, leaving the other three singles matches unfinished. For sophomore Alex Chatt, the loss on her court was personal and reminiscent of last year’s Big Ten Tournament semi-final loss for the Cats when she was defeated for the final point of the match. “I was pretty disappointed since I was the fourth match to lose, kind of a flashback to last year (for me),” Chatt said. “At the end of the day, we knew it was going to be a much harder match. We knew they were coming back with a vengeance. They switched up their lineup, but in general it was pretty disappointing.” Now, NU has a week off — its first since the beginning of March — to build off this loss and prepare for the NCAA Tournament in two weeks. Chatt said the goal of a Big Ten championship is only a stepping stone to get to the next level of NCAA Tournament. Coach Claire Pollard said she is confident they’ll make the tournament, but they’ll need to work hard
to succeed. The first step for the Cats is to think about the “disappointing” loss, w hat they can take away from it They and how to kept the use it moving forward. momentum NU more than likely going, and they pressed their will not host a regional foot on the gas match since pedal. They it is not a top-16 team, weren’t going so the Cats back. will need to travel in the Alex Chatt, first and secsophomore ond rounds. “If you don’t host, you’re really at the mercy of geography and the draw,” Pollard said. “We’re hoping the weather cooperates so we can play outside. … We’re on the right track. The girls are making adjustments and making improvements. We have to play a perfect match to beat any of these teams.” Despite the disappointment of the Michigan loss, the players said they understand the intensity of post-season play and how it brings out greater competition from opponents. “At the end of the day, Michigan was just too good,” Chatt said. “They kept the momentum going, and they pressed their foot on the gas pedal. They weren’t going back.”

No. 13 Northwestern
By BENJY APELBAUM
the daily northwestern @benjyapelbaum
Northwestern did not achieve its goal of winning a Big Ten title after losing a heartbreaking match to a familiar rival. The No. 13 Wildcats went into the tournament as the No. 2 seed and earned a first-round bye before defeating seventh-seeded Purdue 4-1 to advance to the semifinals. Once there, NU played the No. 3 seed, and the No. 17 team in the nation, Illinois. This was the third time this year the teams faced off, and the Fighting Illini walked away a 4-3 win. Although the Cats were unable to achieve their oft-stated goal of winning the Big Ten in either regular season or postseason play, they still have a chance to achieve one of their other goals — hosting an NCAA Tournament match. The weekend began promisingly for the Cats when they picked up another victory over Purdue after defeating the Boilermakers 4-2 on the road just over a month ago. The Cats played Illinois the next day, an opponent they are very familiar with. NU lost the first matchup of the year at Illinois during the ITA Kickoff Event, 4-0, before beating the Fighting Illini for the first time since 1997 in a 4-3 heartstopper at home on March 12. NU began the match by capturing the doubles point, as it had in its previous

victory, thanks to wins by the teams of Shropshire and junior Konrad Zieba and Horoz and senior Mihir Kumar. Freshman Ben Vandixhorn had clinched the win against Illinois on March 12 in dramatic fashion and turned in another good performance with a 6-1, 7-5 win to give NU a 2-0 lead. Then No. 20 Zieba lost his third three-set match of the year to No. 4 Aleks Vukic. Baev proceeded to lose his third match of the year to Julian Childers.No. 75 Kirchheimer put the Cats ahead 3-2 when he avenged his only loss in dual play this season with a three-set win over No. 71 Aron Hiltzik. However, NU could not find another victory to finish off the Fighting Illini as Shropshire and Horoz both lost close three-set matches. benjaminapelbaum2019@u.northwestern. edu
