State rep: ‘Hillary is who Hillary is’ Gabel says debate not likely to change minds on Clinton
By SAM KREVLIN
the daily northwestern @samkrevlin
Laughter and clapping filled Tommy Nevin’s Pub on Monday night during the first presidential debate, as Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump squared off on domestic and foreign issues. More than 100 people attended the viewing party hosted by Illinois House representatives Laura Fine (D-Glenview) and Robyn Gabel (D-Evanston), as well as state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston). Biss said Clinton demonstrated her ability to serve as commander in chief, saying her composure makes her best suited for the job. Biss had opposite feelings about Trump, saying he was concerned with his ability to form political relationships. “His approach to interpersonal relations, if imprinted on a global stage, would be dangerous to an extent that we can’t fully understand,” Biss said. Evanston resident and Clinton supporter Andrew Phelan said the GOP candidate’s responses stem from Trump’s time on reality TV. Phelan said Trump is an entertainer who gives catchy sound bites with little substance.
“People ‘ooh and ahh’ because what he says is so outrageous,” Phelan said. “People can’t believe what they are hearing.” Although many at the event criticized Trump for not having concrete policy proposals, he did outline a tax plan during the debate that includes cutting the corporate tax rate from 35 to 15 percent. Trump also praised New York’s now-defunct stopand-frisk law as a way to keep guns off the streets and crime down. Trump also pointed to 200 generals who have endorsed him, saying their support is evidence he could lead the fight against the Islamic State. Gabel said last night ’s debate probably didn’t change the minds of those who think Clinton is unlikeable, but she said she doesn’t think Clinton should change her persona. “Hillary is who Hillary is,” Gabel said. “It is hard for her to become somebody she is not. I think she presented a patient and very calm demeanor, but one that she was willing to give him a few zingers when he needed it.” Gabel said Lester Holt, who moderated the debate, should have limited the candidates from interrupting each other, although she did appreciate Holt fact-checking Trump on his claim that he did not support the war » See NEVIN’S, page 6

As presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump faced each other for the first time on the debate stage Monday night, hundreds of Northwestern students gathered at watch parties across campus.
About 60 students in the Communications Residential College gathered for a viewing party. Julian Sanchez, a Communication sophomore who organized the event and is a Chicago native, said he was “rubbed the wrong way” by the way Trump described Chicago’s state of violence and crime.

Council postpones benchmarking vote By ERICA SNOW

Aldermen voted on Monday to postpone a decision on an energy benchmarking ordinance that would require some Evanston property owners to submit utility bills to monitor energy usage. At City Council on Monday night, aldermen debated the importance of the ordinance, which would require condominium, apartment and retail building managers to send their energy, water and other utility bills to the city using a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s program. Their buildings would be compared to ones of similar sizes and uses to allow managers and owners to benchmark their usage. The city could impose a fine if a property manager failed to submit their data. City staff hopes with this ordinance that building owners and managers will be encouraged to lower energy and water
usage. The council voted to hold the ordinance in order to reach out to the business community and property owners to inform them of what their responsibilities may be if the ordinance is passed. Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) said the ordinance is
environmentally friendly and a necessary step to reduce Evanston’s carbon footprint. She added that past green ordinances and mandates to install energysaving light bulbs and watersaving toilets seemed “burdensome and intrusive” at first, but now seem beneficial. “This is really about not just
saving individual property owners energy, but also helping to protect all of us,” Wynne said. “If we don’t take the first few steps, then who does? And for heaven’s sakes, Chicago’s already gone ahead of us on this one, and that’s not normal.” » See COUNCIL, page 6

The Christopher B. Galvin Family Foundation donated $10.25 million to Northwestern, the University announced Monday. The gift brings the total of the $3.75 billion “We Will” campaign to more than $3 billion. The Galvin family has contributed more than $18 million to the University since the campaign launched in March 2014. “Through their meaningful and sustained support of their alma mater, Chris and Cindy Galvin and their family are helping to shape future entrepreneurial leaders for generations to come,” University President Morton Schapiro said in a news release.

AROUND TOWN Evanston Post Office named after Abner Mikva By NORA SHELLY
daily senior staffer @noracshelly
The Evanston Post Office on Davis Street has a new title, following the U.S. House of Representatives’ vote Thursday to rename it after Abner Mikva, the late progressive politician and former federal judge. “People in Evanston are smiling today remembering Abner Mikva,” Evanston Mayor Elizabeth Tisdahl said in a news release. “He was a great man and a good man. His name should be on our post office and now it will.” Mikva, who died in July, was once a representative for Illinois’ 10th district, which used to include Evanston. After representing the Hyde Park area in Congress for two terms, a reapportionment had positioned Mikva to run against Democratic Rep. Ralph Metcalfe — a popular black politician — on Chicago’s South Side. Mikva decided to move to Evanston in 1971 and try his hand in the 10th district election. He lost in that year, but won in 1974. The 26th Amendment, which gave 18 to 20-year-olds the right to vote had been passed in 1971, so Mikva concentrated on mobilizing the student vote at Northwestern. His efforts helped activate Democratic activism in Evanston, said Judge Jerry Esrig of the Circuit Court of Cook County in a July interview with The Daily. Before Mikva’s 1974 election, the previous seven congressmen had been Republican, and the city had voted Republican

in the 1964 and 1968 presidential elections. After serving in the House for three terms, Mikva served as chief judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, White House counsel to Bill Clinton and a professor at both Northwestern and University of Chicago law schools. In his various public service posts, Mikva championed criminal justice reform and gun control. Additionally, he is known for his 1993 decision as chief judge striking down a ban on gay people serving in the U.S. military. President Barack Obama awarded Mikva the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014. Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Evanston) introduced the bill to rename the post office after Mikva. “Ab was one of the few Americans to hold the distinction of serving in all three branches of the federal government,” Schakowsky said in her remarks to the House floor. “He passed away on July 4 of this year. On that day America lost a great patriot, and I also lost a very precious friend and mentor.” In her statement on the House floor, Schakowsky said one of the most enduring parts of Mikva’s legacy is the Mikva Challenge, which he and his wife started in 1997 to encourage youth to engage civically. The challenge encourages young people to volunteer on campaigns of both parties, serve as election judges and intern in legislative offices. “I am so thrilled that we are going to pay

Noam Chomsky comes to Chicago In talk, MIT scholar urges attention to nuclear arms races, climate change By MATTHEW CHOI
daily senior staffer @matthewchoi2018
CHICAGO — The decision to go extinct or not is ours, said Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor and linguist Noam Chomsky at a talk Monday in Chicago. Chomsky spoke on the threat of nuclear war and climate change and the forces allowing them to exist at an event hosted by Haymarket Books at Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave., on the University of Chicago’s campus. Referring to the current presidential election, Chomsky said he was dismayed at the attention focused away from nuclear armament and climate change in favor of less “threatening” issues such as immigration from Latin America. “Scarcely a comment on the two most important questions of human history,” Chomsky said. “Sensible steps have been proposed that can be taken right away … Decisions about those are the most important decisions in human history, and actions on these decisions cannot be delayed.” Chomsky also explored the history behind these issues, arguing they largely originate in the domination of the United States in the global economic, military and political stages. Issues such as global warming and nuclear armament could be better solved, he said, but the solutions are continuously blocked by politics and omitted from policy discussion. The event was originally scheduled to take place in Thorne Auditorium at Northwestern’s Chicago campus, Raghian said, but its 720-person capacity could not accommodate the overwhelming demand for tickets, which sold out in three hours. Raghian said Haymarket Books moved the location to Rockefeller Memorial Chapel because of its larger capacity and because it had already planned another
event in the space for November. About 1,800 people attended, with several being turned away at the door. In his talk, Chomsky described the uniqueness of current times and how humanity is on the cusp of extinction at its own hands. From U.S. corporations contributing to irreparable climate change to the continued political stalemates created in a nuclearly-armed world, the international community post-World War II may destroy itself, he said. “That we have escaped from catastrophe for nearly 70 years is a miracle,” he said. “(But) miracles cannot be trusted to perpetuate.” The event, co-sponsored by the Lannan Foundation and the Chicago Center for Contemporary Theory, was part of a series of talks spread throughout the year to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Haymarket Books — a
self-described non-profit, radical bookseller — Chomsky was selected as the first speaker for his cultural pertinence and alignment with Haymarket Books’ mission, said Behzad Raghian, financial director for the publisher. SESP senior Georgia Pettibone, who attended the event, said Chomsky’s talk was both eye-opening and moving. After having seen the Facebook event for the talk, Pettibone traveled to UChicago specifically to see him speak. “Despite all of the problems he talked about, he still thinks there’s so much room for people to do more and make the world better in different ways,” Pettibone said. “It’s important to see that side of the problems that are current and relevant. There is so much we can do to change.” matthewchoi2018@u.northwestern.edu

University should ease up on clear bag rules at games DANNY COOPER
DAILY COLUMNIST
Last month, Northwestern announced a stark, disruptive change in the bag policy for Ryan Field. Under the new rules, only clear bags under certain size specifications would be allowed into the stadium, excluding medical equipment. Though NU characterized the change as an effort to improve security, comfort and efficiency, the policy has mostly served to infuriate spectators and students alike. Particularly for fans with young children or those who cannot easily use their pockets for storage, this policy is incredibly inconvenient. If NU wishes to avoid alienating fans, it should alter the policy so these fans are still allowed to enter the stadium with the items they need. Under the current policy, the only nonclear bags allowed in are “small clutch bags no larger than (4.5 X 6.5 inches).” For fans who have necessary possessions that cannot be simply stuffed into wallets or pockets, this policy makes game attendance cumbersome. Families with young children cannot easily bring diaper bags and other supplies to the game, making it harder for young fans to come to Ryan Field and develop a connection with the Cats. It is understandable that NU would do everything in its power to limit the security threats inherent to hosting large sporting events; eliminating the mass of backpacks from the crowd does help reduce risk. If NU really wants to reduce the risk of a security incident at Ryan Field, it would consider other security measures rather than installing a policy that has resulted in people turned away from the stadium. In fact, clear bags might actually cause more of a security risk, considering that they display one’s possessions for the world to

see. Seeing a stack of cash or a smartphone bouncing around in someone’s see-through bag makes it easier for a thief to decide who to target. It’s also important to note that the policy makes it essential for people to buy items inside the stadium. Whether fans will flock to buy blankets and sweatshirts they could not fit into their clear bags as the season grows longer and the games get colder, or buy the expensive food and water from the concession
stands, makes no difference. Although outside food and drink were already prohibited inside Ryan Field, it appears the new policy was made, in part, to enforce a rule that results in fans having no other option than purchasing water bottles for $4 a piece. NU cannot do anything immediate to improve the on-field experience for its fans, which has been disappointing so far this year. However, the University can make the spectator experience better by loosening the
Draconian bag regulations. At least then the fans could watch the game in relative comfort, regardless of the final score. Danny Cooper is a Medill sophomore.

IFC, PHA members must fight injustices in Greek life JESSICA SCHWALB
DAILY COLUMNIST
By the end of the summer, my answers to prodding family and friends had become well-rehearsed: Yes, I’m in Greek life, but my chapter and my friends are more nuanced than the stereotypes. Yes, I buy into my Panhellenic Association sorority, but I acknowledge the implications of this participation. Upon returning to campus, however, it seems that recognizing the problematic nature of Greek life is not enough. If we decide to join, we must combat systematic injustices through our participation and put pressure on organizations to do the same. PHA sororities and IFC fraternities have a racist, homophobic and violent history ranging from historic exclusion of minorities to torturous hazing practices to rampant sexual assault. Creating organizations around ideals of “manhood” and “womanhood” excludes and marginalizes non-binary students on campus. Regular mixers that pair sororities with fraternities bind us to the archaic idea that courtship is mostly, if not always, heterosexual. The ban on alcohol in sorority houses
concentrates most parties, and often sexual violence, in all-male frat spaces. In peeling back the history of such institutions, it seems that there is no Greek life without a foundation of oppression. These organizations do indeed have value: Greek life exposes me to previously unexplored areas of campus and certainly animates my Saturday nights. The meaningful friendships I’ve formed are not invalidated by the problematic framework in which they began. Still, my participation and money contribute to perpetuating the very things I claim to oppose: race and class-based exclusivity, highly heteronormative social events, even sexual assault. Does engaging with these spaces signal an acceptance of their racism, transphobia and violence? Is it enough that I acknowledge an institution’s problems if I then continue to fund them? I am privileged to have this dilemma: My family is financially able to pay my tuition and quarterly dues, and as a cisgendered, white woman I look like much of the fellow PHA community. It’s not enough to tell my friends that NU is “different” or that “I think Greek life is problematic too.” It doesn’t make sense to complain about an organization and participate anyway. Yet these are conversations
I’ve had with many people involved in PHA or IFC on this campus. As long as these institutions exist, the selfish part of me triumphs: I remain in Greek life despite its own race and class-based exclusivity because of the benefits it affords me. I may try to justify my participation by telling myself that I recognize its flaws. But this is insufficient. The common defense that NU’s Greek life is different and better has gotten old. Indeed there might exist more blatant iterations of oppression on other campuses. Yet our institutions also exist within a larger framework of IFC and PHA’s history and rules; we are subject to oversight by national organizations that might not align with our idea of a “laid-back” Greek life. Still, we retain agency in shaping our own campus or Greek culture — we certainly have the power to and should strive for change. We must work to change these institutions, to make them better, from the inside and the outside. Self-critical conversations do occur in pockets of campus, but they are hardly institutionalized within PHA or IFC chapters. What if our discomfort with these organizations could be channelled into a plan of action for changing what we can from the roles that we occupy? In addition to decrying the
dangers of male-dominated frat party spaces, sorority women should host more of our own off-campus parties. In addition to condemning the lack of diversity in PHA and IFC (and at NU, more broadly) we should actively seek to recruit members from across campus, raise the bar for and make more frequent our conversations about race and increase funding for scholarships. These suggestions are elementary and do not negate nor remove these organizations’ inherent exclusivity. But the reality that Greek life exists on our campus, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, requires pragmatism. It is powerful for changemakers and critical thinkers to exist, and strive for progress, within PHA and IFC. We need more of them. While participating in Greek life, we should do more than simply lament the problematic nature of the spaces around us. We should begin to break it down. Jessica Schwalb is a Weinberg sophomore.

Students set to launch undergrad real estate club By JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan
For the first time, Northwestern students will be able to explore interests in real estate through a new student group debuting this fall. Weinberg juniors Chase Parisi and Henry Anwar decided to start the club last spring and began reaching out to undergraduate students who showed an interest in real estate. Weinberg senior Connor Sharples, the club’s co-president, said there’s an assumption among economics majors that investment banking and consulting are the only career options they have coming from Northwestern. “Real estate is just such a huge industry, but no one knows it, and because of that people are limited with their options post-grad,” Sharples

mediators between candidates. Debate committees, he said, should instead hire someone such as a university president or an economic leader to moderate political debates. “If you’re a journalist, you have an interest in and a bias for creating controversy, which means you’re going to ask questions that are intended to elicit gaffes, an awkward answer,” he said. “The debate should be about the debaters, not the moderators, and the journal-

said. The group sought upperclassmen for leaders in the club who had already completed internships in the real estate and consulting world, including Sharples, who interned at JP Morgan last summer and has a full-time offer to return after his senior year at NU. Along with Parisi, Sharples said he will serve as co-president of the club. Weinberg junior Jeremiah Hsu will serve as temporary president while Parisi studies abroad. “We felt like we had to reach out to people that had prior internships or family or just had any kind of connection to real estate,” Hsu said. “To find people for that kind of role we looked for upperclassmen.” Though there is a graduate real estate club in the Kellogg School of Management, there has never been an undergraduate real estate club at NU, Sharples said.

wrong after Holt challenged Trump’s suggestion that reviving the stop-and-frisk program would reduce crime. Students, however, focused more on the candidates’ performances than the moderator’s role. At Norris, more than 200 students stopped by NU Votes watch party. Weinberg junior Justine Hung said she stayed for the entire debate because she’s been following the election closely. Hung said she was not surprised by what the presidential candidates said and felt that other NU students also knew what to expect. Rebecca Angoyar, a Weinberg junior who attended the Norris watch party, said she appreciated Clinton’s statements on race and was pleasantly surprised by how Trump managed to avoid too many controversial comments on the topic. “Donald Trump surprisingly managed to stay out of a lot of trouble with his mouth in that area,” she said. “I was actually expecting him to be a lot more problematic and pokey, so I think he didn’t really say much in that regard.” During the debate, Clinton and Trump battled over the economy, trade and national security. Clinton notably confronted Trump over his decision to not release his tax returns, with Trump responding by saying he would release the returns once Clinton released her “33,000 emails that have been deleted.” Students also gathered at Harris Hall for a watch party held by Political Union. alfaro@u.northwestern.edu

Chicago passed their benchmarking ordinance for buildings 50,000 square feet and larger in 2013. The Administration and Public Works Committee also held a vote on the ordinance in July after questioning its usefulness and penalties. At the Monday meeting, several building managers also questioned the efficacy of the ordinance, saying they worried it would create an unnecessary hassle to collect bills from tenants and submit them to the city. Eric Paset, owner of North Shore Apartments & Condos, Inc., said most property managers closely monitor their energy usage to minimize bills. “No one’s opposed to saving energy,” Paset said. “Probably 20 percent of our gross income goes towards utilities. … But I think to put this ordinance in place, I feel like works against us.

Rutherford said it doesn’t matter if students have experience with real estate, as long as they are interested in learning and engaging with the topic. Hsu, Sharples and Rutherford all agreed they would like to see NU create undergraduate real estate classes and possibly a real estate major. For now, they just want to start educating students to get their club off the ground. “How can you understand the whole market crash without understanding real estate?” Sharples said. “Just in general, to understand real estate and what it’s all about and the effects it can have on an economy on a global scale — it’s silly that they don’t teach it.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu any real consequence in the election. “The history of first debates show that it will have an impact until the next debate,” Sorensen said. “The reality is anything can happen. The history of the last few elections include natural disasters, financial crisis, and you tend to have an event that can define leadership over the last six weeks of a campaign, and that is a better indicator of who would be a better president.” samkrevlin2019@u.northwestern.edu drafted in Evanston is similar to laws already in place in Chicago, making it easier for building owners that have property in both cities to follow the Evanston regulations, as they are already operating under the Chicago ordinance. Ald. Eleanor Revelle (7th), the former president of Citizens’ Greener Evanston, wanted to vote on the ordinance Monday night but agreed to hold the vote until November so aldermen could hear the concerns of business owners. A few property managers who spoke at the meeting worried sharing bills with the city and comparing energy use between neighbors could be an invasion of privacy and even embarrassing. Revelle said shaming was not the point of benchmarking. “I really don’t think we’re in this to try and shame people,” Revelle said. “We’re trying to get information so that we can then help them become more energy-efficient and really help them save money.” Aldermen will vote on the ordinance at the Nov. 28 meeting. ericasnow2019@u.northwestern.edu

Mediterranean-Italian restaurant to open on Maple By BEN WINCK
the daily northwestern @benwinck
Restaurant owner and wine expert Alpana Singh said she created her new Mediterranean restaurant Terra & Vine in downtown Evanston with Northwestern students in mind. “Everything is very accessible and approachable. You can come here for a birthday celebration or a casual meal,” Singh said. “We want it to be affordable, not something you spend all your rent on.”

Everything is very accessible and approachable. You can come here for a birthday celebration or a casual meal. Alpana Singh, restaurant owner
The restaurant, 1701 Maple Ave., will open Thursday with a menu of Italian dishes curated by executive chef Andrew Graves. A connected bar will offer classic American foods and a 60-person outdoor patio. Although the restaurant’s facade may seem formal, the restaurant accommodates those looking for fine dining as well as those eating on a budget, Singh said.
WOMEN’S SOCCER From page 8
wanted to go out this game and … make an impact early on.” That impact helped render the Terrapins’ late penalty-kick score meaningless and was something that had been a point of emphasis during the team’s brief break between contests. Moynihan said he believed that the team did plenty of things well in Friday’s game but could have benefitted from more aggression around the net. On Sunday, the change in mentality showed. “You don’t really talk about, ‘We need to get three goals in the first 15, 20 minutes,’ ever,” he said. “The overall mentality is what we stressed.”
Terra & Vine occupies the space once used by Bravo Cucina Italiana, and although it will focus on traditional Italian courses, a wide range of Mediterranean staples can be found on the menu. Singh also touted the restaurant’s wine menu, saying a “good percentage of our wine list is under $45 a bottle,” before adding that there are more expensive and exclusive bottles as well. The restaurant will also feature a wood-fired grill meant to be used dishes like grilled salmon and polenta croquettes. Positioned as a hearth, the grill will help unite many menu items with a wooden flavor, Singh said. Graves said it’s about 10 feet long and makes the restaurant one of the more unique in the area. “The hearth was commissioned from a guy in California,” Graves said. “There isn’t another one in the city, that’s for sure.” Although Terra & Vine is among several restaurants offering Mediterranean food in downtown Evanston, it is looking to bring something different to Evanston residents and Northwestern students, Singh said. The process of creating the menu wasn’t particularly difficult, Graves said, as he predicts the Evanston community will gravitate to the restaurant’s Mediterranean theme. The city’s goal isn’t to have restaurants competing with each other but to offer several choices for those visiting the downtown area, said Johanna Leonard, Evanston’s economic development division manager. “It fits into opportunities that we want to help foster,” Leonard said. “We have options for everybody. We want to make sure that people with different tastes and budgets have categories of choice.”
And with plenty of the season remaining, getting back on track — both mentally and from a success standpoint — puts the team in a good position to chase its goal of finishing in the conference’s top three. Even with a blemish in the record, the Cats remain a top team in the conference and used Sunday’s blowout to prove it. “The best thing for us was just to keep up a positive attitude because it’s always hard to get the first loss,” graduate defender Kaitlin Moore said. “Emphasizing a lot of positivity and encouragement was the biggest thing to help people get back to what we knew we could be.” garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

Terra & Vine, 1701 Maple Ave., is opening this Thursday. The restaurant will serve both Italian and Mediterranean dishes.
Located in the plaza that houses the Century 12 movie theater, Terra & Vine and Terra Bar are in a position to capture much of the business that surrounds the downtown area, Leonard said. She added that although other popular restaurants such as DMK Burger & Fish and Wings Over Evanston have closed down in recent years, Terra & Vine can appeal to the

With 11 players on its roster that measure six feet or taller, the Nittany Lions rank second in hitting percentage and first in opponent’s hitting percentage in the Big Ten. This dominant presence at the net propelled Penn State to a commanding 25-17 second set victory.

entire community and is poised to bring traffic to downtown Evanston. “It’s whatever you need it to be for yourself at a given moment. For an occasion or not.” Singh said. “I always say that the occasion is the occasion.” benjaminwinck2019@u.northwestern.edu Abbott said. “Our consistency wasn’t much to compete with a team like Penn State.” The third set told a story very similar to the second set. The Nittany Lions, sharp and focused, controlled play at the net and reeled off a 25-17 set victory to close out the match. After experiencing the talent and power of Penn State, Davis knows what the team must do to hold its own against the other dynamic programs that NU will play throughout Big Ten competition. “(We have to focus) on our overall game,” Davis said. “We have to be a little bit more cleaner with what we are doing.” aidanmarkey2019@u.northwestern.edu

GOLDEN GOAL Wildcats earn first win in 8 games
By MARIANA ALFARO
daily senior staffer @marianaa_alfaro
Northwestern’s seven-game winless streak has been snapped. Closing Sunday’s game with a game-ending goal in double overtime, the Wildcats (2-6-1, 1-2-1 Big Ten) beat Big Ten rival Michigan (0-6-3, 0-4-0), 2-1. Senior forward Mike Roberge sealed the deal with the 107th minute goal, giving NU its first conference win of the season. The Wolverines generated 10 shots in the first half, with four on frame. But the Cats struck first with a goal off a corner kick scored by junior forward Elo Ozumba in the 28th minute. Sophomore midfielder Camden Buescher served up a ball that senior defender Nathan Dearth headed toward Ozumba, who finished for a 1-0 NU lead. It was Ozumba’s second goal of the season, following a goal in a loss against Wisconsin earlier this month, and the Cats’ fourth goal in conference play this year. “The last time I scored we didn’t end up winning so it was a little bit of a rain on my parade,” Ozumba said. He added that scoring in a win “ just feels so much sweeter.” Ozumba’s speed up front troubled the Wolverines’ defense, helping give NU the upper hand in the first half of the game. The Cats produced several scoring chances, including in the fifth minute when a Roberge header narrowly missed the net. Roberge said the team benefitted from a high-pressure approach which it started working on during its last game, a loss to DePaul. “We started getting more chances off of that so we were able to get a little higher in the field,” Roberge said. “It really helped us relieve a lot of pressure and get some more times on goal.”
NU was playing well throughout the first half and into the second, but it couldn’t increase its advantage, and Michigan midfielder Robbie Mertz tied the game in the 56th minute with a finish off a rebound from a Cats save. After Mertz’ goal, both teams failed to score for the remainder of the second period, leading to two overtime periods. It was the third time this season NU has been forced to play overtime. From the start of extra time, the Cats were the better team, creating several good chances to pull out the win. NU coach Tim Lenahan highlighted Ozumba’s play, as the forward applied major pressure to Michigan’s defense. “It’s a tight, tight game so I thought we were able to get some chances on the overtime,” Lenahan said. However, it was Roberge who got revenge on his four previous failed shots after he closed the game with his first goal of the season. Senior midfielder Drew Rosenberg kicked the ball off the set piece to the far side of the box to Dearth, who in turn passed it towards the net where Roberge found it and scored the game-winning goal. Lenahan was happy with the result, saying the team would focus on celebrating this victory before setting its mind on its match against No. 1 Maryland on Friday. “We’re going to enjoy this one,” he said. “It’s been a month since we won a game, the longest stretch in 15 years, so we’re going to enjoy this one and then we’ll worry.” Daily file photo by Noah Frick-Alofs

Penn State soundly beats Wildcats NU falls to Rutgers, No. 18 Penn State
By AIDAN MARKEY
the daily northwestern @AidanMarkey
Last season, Northwestern earned perhaps its biggest win in program history with a home victory over Penn State. This season’s meeting was a different story. The Wildcats (7-7, 0-2 Big Ten) fell in straight sets to the No. 18 Nittany Lions (10-3, 2-0) in NU’s home opener Sunday. The Cats, while enthusiastic in returning to Welsh-Ryan Arena, simply could not contain the power of their opponents’ attack. Penn State tallied eight total blocks while NU had only four. The Nittany Lions’ .266 team hitting percentage also trumped the Cats’ mark of a mere .093. “I don’t know how much you can contain that kind of line,” coach Shane Davis said. “We just have to be able to do a better job in our system.” NU jumped out to a strong start, using a strong attack and powerful serving to claim an 11-5 lead in the first set. The Nittany Lions persevered, though, rallying back to tie the set at 12-12. From then on, the teams battled closely, the lead on either side never greater than three points. A big kill from NU junior middle blocker Gabrielle Hazen gave the Cats a set point, but an ace and a kill by junior Simone Lee of Penn State gave the visitors the advantage. After leading by six points early on, NU dropped the first set, 27-25. “(In) the first set, we came out

swinging,” sophomore middle blocker Rachael Fara said. “That’s what we want to do all the time, but we have to carry that throughout the rest of the game.” Fara had one of the few strong
performances for the Cats’ attack as she notched three kills, two blocks and an ace in the match. Junior outside hitter Symone Abbott and Hazen each had 10 kills and a block for NU. The Nittany Lions jumped out to an early 4-1 lead in the second set thanks to two aces from junior Abby Detering. Although NU came as close as 15-13, Penn State remained » See VOLLEYBALL, page 7

Northwestern suffered its first loss of the season against Rutgers on Friday, but quickly redeemed itself with a 4-1 rout of Maryland Sunday afternoon. After dominating opponents through the season’s first nine games, the No. 21 Wildcats (10-1-0, 3-1-0 Big Ten) entered Friday’s conference matchup against the No. 22 Scarlet Knights (7-12, 2-0-1) looking to solidify their status as a Big Ten powerhouse. However, the team struggled off the bat offensively and managed a mere three shots all day. Just one of those shots came on goal — an attempt from sophomore midfielder Marisa Viggiano that was saved. Rutgers, on the other hand, notched 20 attempts, eight of which were on target and two of which found the back of the net. Though junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem walked away with a season-high six saves, the team’s inability to match the Scarlet Knights’ intensity doomed them to a 2-0 defeat. “They’re a very good team,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “To get our first loss of the year was emotionally draining.” But the weekend provided an opportunity for redemption. Sunday offered NU the chance to get back on track — and the team wasted little time reestablishing themselves as a force in the Big Ten. After Friday’s offensive washout, the Cats emerged against Maryland (3-7-1,

1-2-0) with a newfound fire, scoring three goals before halftime and logging their first in the fourth minute of the game. The first score came off a corner kick by Viggiano, with junior midfielder Kassidy Gorman extending their lead soon after and senior attacker Maria Grygleski strengthening their cushion before halftime with another score off a corner. Sophomore defender Kayla Sharples logged the team’s final goal in the second half, heading in a corner from Viggiano in the 80th minute. The shooting onslaught came without help from sophomore forward Brenna Lovera, who missed the game with an undisclosed injury. Freshman forward Maddy Lucas started in her stead. Lucas logged a game-high four shots — two of which were on target — and assisted on Gorman’s goal. “In Rutgers, we really weren’t getting a lot of shots off,” Lucas said. “I just really » See WOMEN’S SOCCER, page 7
