boeheim crash

After fatal crash, Boeheim says ‘It doesn’t matter how I feel’ By Nick Alvarez, KJ Edelman and Michael McCleary the daily orange

Moment of silence held Saturday before Duke game By Billy Heyen

A

s Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim took the floor on Saturday, tears streamed down his wife Juli’s face. Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, who Boeheim calls a “true friend,� stood near his bench, clapped and embraced Boeheim for a few seconds and whispered a message in his ear. The nation’s No. 1 team and a record crowd were in the Carrier Dome. But Saturday evening was ultimately overshadowed by the tragic crash involving Boeheim late Wednesday along Interstate 690. Boeheim coached on Saturday less than 72 hours after he fatally struck a pedestrian walking on the highway, 51-year-old Jorge Jimenez of Syracuse. SU (18-9, 9-5 Atlantic Coast) lacked the offense to beat No. 1 Duke (24-3, 12-2), but before and after the game, the events of Wednesday night were at the front of everyone’s minds. “First and foremost, to the Jimenez family, I want them to know how truly devastated I am for my involvement in the loss of their loved one, Jorge Jimenez,� said Boeheim, in his first public remarks since the crash, in a postgame press conference. “The grief his family is feeling at this time is, simply put, unimaginable. On Wednesday night, Jimenez was in a vehicle that lost control, swerved into a guardrail and ended up in the middle of I-690 eastbound near Thompson Road, a Syracuse Police Department spokesman said. The oncoming vehicle, driven by Boeheim, then tried to avoid the disabled car but hit Jimenez, who was standing on the side of the road, police said. All involved, including Boeheim, remained on the scene and cooperated with SPD, according to police. Police said neither driver involved in the crash was under the influence of alcohol. Before the game Saturday, a public address announcer read, in English and Spanish, a call for a moment of silence in honor of Jimenez, who emigrated from Cuba decades ago. Soon after, during the national anthem, Boeheim wiped tears from his eyes. The head coach of 43 years was at the Carrier Dome on Saturday because he felt an obligation to the players he recruited, Boeheim said. He met with them Thursday and told them to “stay the course,� sophomore forward Oshae Brissett said. Then Boeheim returned to full practice Friday. He wanted his players to think of the Jimenez family, but he also felt it was his heartache to bear, and that they should focus on basketball, Brissett added. see boeheim page 4

Brian Hernandez remembered how much his father liked to laugh. A good cook, Jorge Jimenez always invited friends over to eat. He would cook traditional Spanish dishes with rice, he’d dance on the patio and laugh. In the summer, he’d roam the JIMENEZ sidewalk on Richmond Avenue, where he used to live, and take part in community cookouts. He was the “life of the party,� Hernandez, 19, said. Jimenez, of the 100 block of Dablon Court, died after he was struck by head coach Jim Boeheim driving along Interstate 690 on Wednesday night. Jimenez was transported to Upstate University Hospital following the crash and was pronounced dead while there. He was 51. Joel Sanchez, a Syracuse resident who said he knew Jimenez for 20 years, remembered working with Jimenez at Colonial Laundromat, along the 1600 block of West Genesee Street, in 2003. Sanchez translated for Jimenez at doctor’s appointments or official meetings, Sanchez said. In return, Jimenez would do handiwork for Sanchez and didn’t take any payment in return.

Jimenez, who emigrated from Cuba decades ago, was a New York Yankees fan. His favorite player was Derek Jeter. He loved baseball and played often with his kids. Hernandez said his father always had a coaches mentality and, from the sideline, looked to help Hernandez improve at baseball. When Hernandez struggled with his swing, Jimenez helped him fix it. It was just his personality — who he was. “He always made sure you were OK,� his former neighbor Alfredo Cordero said. “I’ll remember that about him.� Jimenez cooked for his neighbors “by surprise� when he previously lived on Richmond Avenue, Cordero said. He would cook Cuban cuisine, and offer help to people next door often. At Geddes Deli & Grocery, Jimenez would spend most of time hanging outside of the store and a nearby smoke shop. Occasionally, the corner of Richmond and North Genesee would host barbecues and Jiminez would “just walk like 10 steps outside his house, have fun, and go back home,� said Louis Pizarro, a resident who’s frequently near Geddes. Sometimes he would cook, other times he would eat ribs, Cordero said. “You see a 50-year-old man hanging with 18-19 kids and he’s out there dancing with them,� Ali Bakil, a neighborhood friend of Jimenez, said. “It makes him funny.� see jimenez page 4

editorial board

Boeheim, SU can help honor Jorge Jimenez’s life

T

here’s a tangible way for Jim Boeheim or Syracuse University to help the family of Jorge Jimenez. Fund the rest of a GoFundMe drive organized by Jimenez’s son, Brian Hernandez, to help pay for the costs of Jimenez’s funeral arrangements. The Daily Orange Editorial Board urges Boeheim and SU to consider this donation. As of about 11:45 p.m. Sunday, just $4,770 was needed before Hernandez’s goal was met. In a series of statements released following the tragic crash Wednesday night, SU officials expressed condolences and sympathies to Jimenez’s family. They also said it was horrifying that a member of the local area had been killed. “I am heartbroken that a member of our community died as the result of last night’s accident,� Boeheim said. It was horrific. They’re right. And here’s how Boeheim or SU could further help. As of late Sunday, there was just under $5,000 remaining before the $15,000 GoFundMe campaign was completed.

view last week with The Daily Orange, said the money raised online would go toward Jimenez’s funeral costs. Jimenez’s family wishes that the funeral be held in Syracuse, with an open-casket wake, Hernandez said. A meaningful contribution by Boeheim or SU to this fund wouldn’t go unnoticed. Especially after a record-breaking crowd of people packed into the Carrier Dome for Syracuse’s matchup with No. 1 Duke this weekend — in some cases community members paid thousands of dollars for just a single ticket Saturday. Put that money to good use. Help Jimenez’s family honor his life like they want to.

Report reveals shortage of school bus drivers staff writer

A recent report revealed that a shortage of school bus drivers at school districts throughout New York state, including the Syracuse City School District, has negatively affected students. The February report from the New York State School Boards Association found that about 75 percent of school transportation directors in the state said they had an insufficient number of bus driv-

ers at some point in the 2017-18 school year. Of those directors, 80 percent reported that the shortage of bus drivers was their No. 1 concern or a major concern. Theresa Kuss, transportation director for SCSD, said Syracuse has felt the state-wide shortage. She said the district uses a contractor to hire bus drivers but has had trouble retaining drivers for the past three or four years. “The pay is decent, but the benefits are poor,� Kuss said. “We lose drivers to other school

districts because they have benefits and retirement.� Kuss said student attendance suffers as a result of the shortage. Buses often arrive late or not at all, and some students return home after giving up on waiting, she said. Thirty-nine percent of school transportation directors in the area encompassing Onondaga County said bus driver shortages have gotten significantly worst in the last three years, per the report. The report also found that about 80 percent of transportation direc-

tors said the length of shifts and rate of pay many bus drivers receive are factors in the shortage. Average annual wage for bus drivers in 2017 was just more than $43,000, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “School bus drivers, when you look at the level of responsibility they have, are severely underpaid,� said Kathy Furneaux, executive director of the Pupil Transportation Safety Institute. The Pupil Transportation Safety Institute is a New York-based nonprofit

News briefs: 3 stories you may have missed By Gabe Stern

asst. news editor

Here are four stories from around New York, including airport renovations and a blockbuster movie filming, that you may have missed from this weekend.

Lawmakers, residents pressure Rep. John Katko over I-81

Residents and lawmakers attended a town hall that Rep. John Katko (R-Camillus) hosted at Fowler High School in Syracuse to discuss replacement options for Interstate 81’s aging viaduct. Mayor Ben Walsh and state Sens. Rachel May (D-Syracuse) and Bob Antonacci (R-50th district) attended the event. Walsh publicly voiced his support for the community grid at the meeting, once more. Residents in support of a com-

munity grid said that the $1.3 billion grid option will minimize cost and integrate separated communities in Syracuse. Those who support rebuilding the viaduct said that removing the highway would harm businesses and reduce tax revenue.

Central New York airport funding

Syracuse Hancock International Airport will receive $338,000 in state funding to construct a new storage facility, according to CNYCentral. The funding comes from the $23.6 million New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) set aside for 31 airports across the state. Cuomo also announced $1.5 million in infrastructure funding for four airports in central New York, per CNY Central. Other airports that are receiving state funding include Chase Field Airport in Cortland County, Oswego County Airport and Skaneateles

Aerodrome Airport in Onondaga County, according to CNYCentral. Other renovations to modernize Syracuse’s airport were completed in late October, according to WSYR.com. The airport underwent $60 million in renovations, which included a glass wall, waterfall and grand staircase, Syracuse. com reported. The project, which took eight months to complete, also made changes to the outside of the facility, WSYR.com reported.

15-person working group. Thomas DiNapoli, the state’s comptroller, would lead the study, according to ABC News. Downstate New York includes the entirety of New York City, as well as Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties. The state’s 53 remaining counties would be part of upstate New York, ABC News reported. “... One set of distinctions is abundantly clear, both on paper and in the minds of New Yorkers — that there is an “upstate� region and a “downstate� region, and that these two regions have extremely divergent political and social views,� a justification of the bill said. Jordan, elected in November 2018, was a member of the Halfmoon Town Board in Saratoga County before taking office as a state senator. gkstern@syr.edu @gabestern326

Syracuse University canceled Monday morning classes, citing strong winds, according to a campus-wide email sent out Sunday night. Classes will resume at 12:45 p.m., and all online classes will continue as scheduled, according to the email. The decision was made because of high wind warnings on Monday, according to the email. Only essential personnel will report to campus in the morning, including safety officials and food service workers, according to the email. The National Weather Service issued a high wind warning through 7 p.m. on Monday. Winds will hit 30 to 45 miles per hour, with gusts of 60 to 70 miles per hour. The email recommends that SU community members stay indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, be mindful of potential damage to trees and power lines and avoid campus construction sites. SU also said the #31 Nob Hill and #39 Warehouse Express shuttles will not be operating, per the email. Both of those routes are part of Birnie Bus schedules. All Centro buses will run as normal, per the email. Residence hall dining centers, SU Health Services, the Counseling Center and the Women’s Building and Ernie Davis fitness centers will remain open. gkstern@syr.edu

boeheim “In times like this, the community has to come together the most, I think,” junior guard Tyus Battle said. “I think that’s what we tried to do, stick together as a team and as a Syracuse family. Try to support the family that that happened to and coach at the same time.” Boeheim said “we’ve” reached out to the Jimenez family, and he hopes to try to do that as time goes on. Boeheim knows it isn’t about him, he said. “It doesn’t matter how I feel,” Boeheim said. “It’s how they feel, and what’s happened to them, and there’s just nothing I can say about it.” During Saturday’s game, Boeheim coached with the same fervor he always has. When Syracuse players didn’t get the foul calls he felt they should have, Boeheim threw his arms toward the Carrier Dome roof. He took his jacket off midway through the second half, as he’s done in other close games. When the Orange looked to make a comeback against Duke, with takeaways in their full-court press, Boeheim clapped his hands, encouraging them to keep pushing. And when the game was finally out of reach, Duke dribbling out the clock, Boeheim held out his right hand, telling his players to ease up. Boeheim began his postgame press conference with what appeared to be a prepared statement on the crash, and then requested questions on only the game. But he was quickly from page 1

jimenez On the weekends he’d drink beer — typically Modelo — with friends and have picnics. He often brought coffee to Dhaya Alabi, the owner of Geddes, from a local gas station before shopping. Previously, Jimenez worked as a painter and mechanic — most recently, he was out of work, friends said. He was on disability benefits due to a foot condition. He was not working at the time of his death, Hernandez and Sanchez said. About a year ago, Jimenez moved from his second-floor apartment on Richmond Avenue to Dablon Court, friends said. Sanchez, who last spoke with Jimenez a month ago, said that Jimenez was often alone in his new apartment. from page 3

drivers organization that works to support school transporters in the United States. As more jobs have become available in recent years, people have stopped driving school buses and instead search for jobs that have higher pay or better align with their education, she said. Furneaux said the largest effect of the shortage is that school districts have turned to school bus mechanics or transportation managers to fill in for absent drivers, which can pose a safety issue to students. “They may cut corners on the route because they’re pressed for time and they need to get back and do their real job,” Furneaux said. Paul Heiser, a senior research analyst at the New York State School Boards Association who worked on the report, said fewer bus drivers also creates longer routes, which can delay the arrival and departure times of buses. Field trips and extracurricular activities often have to be canceled, he said. In some cases, students and families are even forced to find their own way to get to school, he added.

asked about what it felt like walking into the Carrier Dome before facing Duke. And, in responding, he didn’t read from the paper in front of him. “I’ve always felt, in life, you get a lot of things you have to overcome,” Boeheim said. “I started here with nothing, and I’ve been here a long time, and there’s a lot of things in there you have to overcome. But there’s nothing like this, when human life is lost, and you’re there. I can’t describe it to you.” Syracuse’s players, spread throughout the locker room following the press conference, were consistent in responses. They said Boeheim had asked them to focus on the game, and they offered condolences and prayers to the Jimenez family. They said they knew it was important their coach was on the sidelines. “You gotta stick with your family, stick with your team,” Buddy, Boeheim’s son, said. “It’s great having him there, great for the community, and you obviously want to win. But it’s more than basketball sometimes.” The season will move on. Syracuse has a game Tuesday, on the road, against No. 8 North Carolina. Boeheim will be there, coaching with the passion that he always has. But it won’t be the same as other games against the Tar Heels. “This is never going away,” Boeheim said. “Tuesday it’s not gonna be any better. It’s not gonna be any better next week. It’s not gonna be any better next month. It’s not gonna be any better next year.” wmheyen@syr.edu | @wheyen3

“This surprised me at the beginning, it does hurt,” Sanchez said of Jimenez’s death. “A person that came here for a better life for him and his kids, and this kind of stuff happens.” Jimenez is survived by four children. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but Hernandez started a GoFundMe page to help aid in the cost of the arrangements. Hernandez said the family wishes that the funeral be held in Syracuse, where they will have an open-casket wake before cremating Jimenez. The GoFundMe was started with a $15,000 goal. Hernandez said that is what’s needed to proceed with the arrangements. nialvare@syr.edu | @nick_a_alvarez kjedelma@syr.edu | @KJEdelman mmcclear@syr.edu | @MikeJMcCleary

The report included several recommendations to help increase the number of bus drivers across the state. Surveys conducted for the report revealed that people between the ages of 18 and 29 are most interested in potentially working as bus drivers, but they’re often not targeted by bus driver hiring initiatives, Heiser said. He said school districts could begin to reach out to younger workers. Many of the proposed solutions would be relatively easy to implement, but would require the “will” of the school district, he added. Furneaux said there is a disconnect between bus drivers and school districts. She said that school bus drivers aren’t treated with the same level of respect as teachers, and this makes people less interested in becoming bus drivers. “When you think about school bussing, for many years they have not been viewed as having a direct impact on the quality of the education of students, when in fact if you can’t get the students there, that certainly has a huge impact,” Furneaux said. gifollet@syr.edu

or the second time in two years, President Donald Trump has urged upstate New York residents to, “go to another state where they can get a great job.� This might seem like an outlandish claim at first, but Trump is right. New York City’s economy is booming, while the rest of the state seems to have been left behind. “Upstate New York is suffering from becoming older and losing population. It’s part of a larger rust belt phenomenon that stretches from Utica to Detroit,� said Stuart Rosenthal, an economics professor at Syracuse University. “The question is: Do we want to direct government support to cities like Syracuse, Buffalo and Cleveland, or do we want to allow individuals to follow the jobs?� Over the past 20 years, New York has had the largest net migration loss in the country, with the biggest effects visible in upstate New York.

York City gained two out of three statewide jobs. Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) answer to this question has been clear. He’s claimed to have invested more money into upstate New York than any governor ever. But what the state needs is a tax cut on manufacturing, not more investments into the region. “You don’t need to make some of those investments if you have good policy. Get rid of the state tax on manufacturing,â€? said Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon on Cuomo’s economic interventions. Residents living in New York don’t benefit from high state taxes. This region needs a government that will empower new business growth — it doesn’t need a wasteful and overbearing central planner.

losses in the state legislature has contributed to a decline in upstate New York’s influence at the state level. “The problem that you have now is upstate’s voice is gone, so even if the governor wants to pass policy, he doesn’t have a partner anymore,� McMahon said. Trump’s comments have rubbed many people in New York the wrong way, and that’s understandable. Trump is a lifelong New York City resident who knows next to nothing about upstate New York or its people — but that’s the point. Until the New York State Government loosens its financial grip on upstate New York and fosters a pro-business environment, area residents would be foolish to dismiss Trump’s comments.

Women should be sexually empowered

B

efore Frisky February comes to an end, we need to address how our expectations of a woman’s sexuality differs from our expectations of a man’s. We need to reach a space where sexuality and shame aren’t connected. Achieving that starts with teaching boys and girls that sex is a natural, normal component of life. Having open conversations and staying away from unwarranted judgement are two ways to actively contribute to the change. Double standards on the basis of sex begin to affect girls at an early age, and the effects can linger for years. A 2016 Penn State University study found that teenage girls surveyed experienced a 45 percent decrease in popularity when they had sex for the first time, while boys had an 88 percent increase in popularity for doing the same. “Shaming women is unfortunately reinforced and is really bad for women’s self-esteem,� James Simon, gynecologist and president of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health, said. “It has long lasting consequences. In my practice as a sexual medicine expert, I see women of all ages who have never actually healed, in a psychological way, from episodes of shaming, or assault or trauma. And they remain inhibited from enjoying sex or having sexual pleasure their entire lives because of these things.� The disapproval of openly sexual women is a product of reinforced misogynistic ideals that we’ve witnessed throughout history. Women are constantly told to be docile and modest, while men are praised for being bold and

assertive. It’s a narrative that has long affected the way women are treated in all types of social spaces. Gender roles and societal expectations have great influence on how men and women express their sexualities. From a biological standpoint, it’s reasonable for men’s sexuality to be more visibly pronounced. Simon explained that testosterone — a primary sex hormone — is roughly 10 times more present in adult men than in women. This may cause sexual expression in men to be more apparent. But, that doesn’t account for how much sex either gender has. And yet, women are the ones who are bashed for their sexual behavior. We need to end the harmful cycle of sexuality shaming, and according to Simon, this starts with parents. “The way we socialize young boys and young girls needs to change. It can only change if parents are educated on the subject, which they’re typically not. We need to have some parental education around the psychosexual socialization of our young adults before they’re off to college because there’s not enough guidance when they’re there.� Take Frisky February as an opportunity to empower women for their sexuality — don’t tear them down. Just talk about sex. Jennifer Bancamper is a sophomore English and textual studies major. Her column appears bi-weekly. She can be reached at jbancamp@syr.edu.

‘A ripple effect’

Ophelia’s Place, located in Liverpool, is a nonprofit organization established in 2002 that provides resources and support to individuals with eating disorders. The nonprofit also tackles body image standards. molly gibbs photo editor

Nonprofit brings awareness to National Eating Disorders Awareness Week By Kelsey Thompson asst. feature editor

T

he name Ophelia is derived from the Greek “ophelos”— in English, “help.” In William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet,” Ophelia — riddled by grief over the loss of her father and the lack of support from those around her — died by suicide. For Mary Ellen Clausen of Ophelia’s Place in Liverpool, the namesake of her nonprofit was dedicated to the famous Shakespearean character in the belief that if she were alive today, its resources would have been able to save her. In 2002, Clausen found herself at a loss after both of her daughters were diagnosed with eating disorders. At the time, there were few resources available in the greater Syracuse community that could provide the comprehensive support needed for teenagers and young adults battling eating disorders and related body image dissatisfaction. Seventeen years later, Ophelia’s Place has become a fixture in the Liverpool community, aiming to educate people on how to best nourish their body through food, and their soul through healing. Feb. 25 through March 3 marks the National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, hosted by the National Eating Disorders Association — 2019’s theme, NEDA announced, is “Come As You Are,” designed as a more inclusive approach

to the stories and lived experiences of everyone struggling with disordered eating. “Eating disorders can impact anyone, no matter their size, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, social economic status or ethnicity,” said Claire Mysko, CEO of NEDA, in the awareness week’s press release. “With ‘Come As You Are,’ we are sending a clear message that everyone deserves body acceptance and are welcome in the NEDA community.” Holly Lowery, education and communications director at Ophelia’s Place, said that community outreach has always been at the forefront of the nonprofit’s vision. She added that a core reason Clausen started the organization was because of the stigmatized culture and lack of resources provided to those with eating disorders. “That was sort of where this all came from, was the fact that in our community, we didn’t really have any solid support spaces for folks and their families who were struggling,” Lowery said. “It really was created out of this need for community.” At least 30 million people suffer from an eating disorder in the United States, according to a 2016 report compiled by the Eating Disorders Coalition. Out of all mental illnesses, anorexia has the highest mortality rate, with a person dying of eating disorder-related complications every 62 minutes. see nonprofit page 8

SUArt Galleries to produce exhibit from donated works By Diana Riojas

asst. feature editor

Before taking a collections management course at Syracuse University, Anthony White had never handled photography that had been taken during the 20th century. Now, as a graduate student in SU’s museum studies program, White is one of the few students who’s participating in a class project that will showcase more than

100 photographs from that era. An anonymous donor gave more than 180 photographs to SUArt Galleries in December. This semester, SU graduate students are working to produce an exhibit at the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery at SU’s Lubin House in New York City next fall, said Associate Director of SUArt Galleries Emily Dittman. Throughout the semester, students will act as the gallery’s registrar, said Dittman, who teaches the

graduate collections management course. The students will be responsible for documenting and analyzing the gallery’s online catalog. “It really brings our photography collection up a couple of notches and what we can provide for the students and staff for research,” Dittman said. She added that the collection brings new artists to the gallery, like Ansel Adams, best-known for his landscape photos of the American

West. The donation also adds to artists’ collections already in the registrar, like Berenice Abbott, known for her urban depiction of New York City during the Great Depression. The yet-to-be-named exhibit will be curated by graduate student Natalie McGrath. McGrath is also the assistant director of Point of Contact Gallery in downtown Syracuse and curated Point of Contact’s “Sueños” exhibit last fall, which featured a variety of

multimedia art pieces. McGrath said that, while she has been working on the project for only two weeks, the experience has been different from other exhibits she has worked on. For this exhibit, she’s responsible for handling the photographs, which she said allows her to be more technical in her writing and research. Her work curating various exhibits, she said, has made her see exhibit page 8

nonprofit Ophelia’s Place, Lowery said, was founded on three central principles: connecting those struggling with disordered eating to treatment options, assisting individuals and their families through support groups and individual consultations and educating and empowering the masses. As the nonprofit has accumulated more funding, resources and staff members in the past year and a half, Lowery said the evolution of Ophelia’s Place has been tenfold. “It has such a ripple effect,� she said. “The more we can educate others, hopefully in the long term, the less folks we’ll end up having to connect resources to because we’ll be preventing these things from developing in the first place.� But eating disorders do not always manifest themselves in clinical diagnoses and extreme case scenarios. At Ophelia’s Place, this provided the inspiration for their “Every Body Is Beautiful Project,� created one year ago as a re-envisioning of their previous “Circles of Change� program. “What we’re looking to do is to empower folks to really start redefining beauty ideals, disrupting cultural norms around beauty, health, weight, size — all of that,� Lowery said. “Right off the bat, it sort of grabs people and aims, I think, to help make everybody feel invited to this conversation and to feel hopefully a little bit more empowered and wanting to change the culture.� from page 7

exhibit feel more confident about her abilities since coming to Syracuse. “I came into grad school wanting to be a curator but not really knowing what that would look like,� McGrath said. “And now as I’m exiting, I’m really glad I know what that means as I enter the job market.� McGrath will analyze the 180 works and choose between 25 to 30 pieces to be featured in

dailyorange.com pulp@dailyorange.com

This sentiment expressed through the Every Body Is Beautiful Project extends beyond the streets of Liverpool. Particularly within the fashion and beauty industries, public figures at Syracuse University and surrounding communities are using their platforms to further reduce the stigma surrounding disordered eating. This is the first step, Lowery said, in promoting inclusivity within the body positivity movement. For Emme, an SU alumna and professional supermodel, disordered eating and body image issues extend, largely in part, from the normalization of body criticism and unattainable physical standards in today’s culture. This has only been exacerbated, she said, by the rising prevalence of social media. “Girls and boys question the validity of their bodies as it is,� Emme said. “You have some people who don’t eat enough and they have anorexia, and yet some people cannot stop eating and that’s called obesity. But then there’s all this stuff in-between.� This in-between buffer, Emme said, is where most Americans reside, with 68 percent of American women wearing at least a size 14. But when it comes to the fashion runways or the glossy pages of magazines, historically, these women have not been depicted as an authentic reality. “The more we can communicate about what’s unique and genuine and how important that is, it’s going to allow people to kind of relax and filter what they see, what they read and what they’re exposed to make money off of their insecurities,� she said.

As a member of the fashion community and the “world’s first plus-size supermodel,� Emme stressed the importance of luxury fashion brands extending their designs to plus-sized women. Women of all shapes and sizes, Emme said, want to feel sexy and beautiful in their skin. For this reason, she said she was inspired to partner with SU’s School of Design in the College of Visual and Performing Arts five years ago for the launch of its program, “Fashion Without Limits.� FWL was created to help increase the versatility and inclusivity of the fashion industry, with an emphasis on designing for sizes 12 and higher. Eighteen SU students are competing in this year’s competition, designing for the American Heart Association. Winners of the competition will be announced on Wednesday and will be featured in AHA’s annual fashion show, per an email by Zach Halper of Momentum Communications Group. Jeffrey Mayer, a professor of fashion, fashion history and textiles in SU’s School of Design, helped coordinate the program after Emme first approached him about the lack of accessibility for women of all sizes to incorporate luxury fashion designs into their wardrobe. Coming from a traditional fashion education in the 1980s and 1990s, Mayer said that the idea of inclusive fashion wasn’t at the forefront of industry conversations because of the size of traditional models at the time. It wasn’t until Emme asked him why he wasn’t working on these designs with his students, he said, that the “aha� moment clicked.

“When 60 percent of America is over a size 16 and we’re only making clothes for below that, what we’re telling that 60 percent is that they they’re not valuable,� Mayer said. “And it’s frightening, really.� FWL, Mayer said, is more than a specialty course designed to check off a quota for his students. As the program has continually grown and evolved, he said that what was once a culture shock to freshmen entering into the major’s curriculum has become ingrained into every stage of the design process. That intuition, he said, has been gratifying to witness. “What we’re starting at the grassroots level here with our students is going to become mainstream,� Mayer said. “Why are we telling people that they’re less beautiful? Our students don’t want to do that. They want everyone to feel included in what they’re doing.� As prominent figures like Ashley Graham and fashion campaigns such as AerieREAL have become staples in mainstream fashion, Emme said the authenticity of these figures and movements are what have translated most to consumers. Seeing images of yourself reflected as a beauty ideal, Emme added, is not for nothing. The time has passed, she said, when brands can afford to limit their definition of beauty to a size zero, sevenfoot-tall model. “If these conversations don’t continue, the fashion industry is not going to survive,� she said. “Period.�

the show, Dittman said. While McGrath is the only student curator for the project, the work done in the collections management course is instrumental for the exhibit. Kathryn Hill, a graduate student in the class, helps conduct condition reports for the photos. For Hill and her classmates, responsibilities extend beyond earning a passing grade. Hill said the work she’s doing — checking and marking any imperfections on the photographs — will help future research-

ers studying the work when they may have to check on its condition. She added that measuring the size of mold spots or analyzing the texture of the work helps keep an accurate timeline on how the artwork may be adapting to new locations. “We don’t just learn theory — we learn and apply the best practices so we’re able to step away and have experience in the field we want to,� she said. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, I’ve written a paper on it,’ it’s ‘No, I’ve actually accessed them.’� The work Hill has done so far, such as

recording the art pieces, has already given her an edge in a competitive job market, she said. While the class has also been useful in gaining more industry-level experience, both Hill and White agreed it’s the collaboration and trust established with the gallery and one another that has made the experience memorable. “It’s community, but it’s way beyond that,� Hill said. “All the professors establish really close relationships with each of the students.�

Embodied experiences Portrait exhibit honors Black History Month, Women’s History Month

ĂŹ $,ĂŹa master’s degree candidate in Syracuse University’s Pan African studies department, will have her one-woman exhibition, “A Time for Joy and a Time for Sorrow,â€? on display at the Community Folk Art Center through March 23. Story and photos by Haley Robertson feature editor

A

rtist Spencer Stultz fostered a participatory experience for guests at her first solo exhibition. While her artwork lined the gallery walls of the Community Folk Art Center, two blank canvases were propped on wooden stands atop a white cloth, draped on the gallery floor. Each of the dozens of guests was encouraged to add their own touch to the painting before Stultz presented a gallery talking about her own artwork. “I felt like I couldn’t — all the way — do my work justice without giving people an opportunity to express themselves, too,� she said. On Friday, Stultz hosted the opening reception for her one-woman exhibition, “A Time for Joy and a Time for Sorrow,� at the Community Folk Art Center. The exhibit is on display through March 23 in honor of both Black History Month and Women’s History Month. Stultz is a master’s degree candidate in Pan African studies at Syracuse University. The gallery exhibit is part of her thesis project — a culmination of research about contemporary black visual art in regard to social activism. Associate professor Joan Bryant assisted Stultz with the project’s development. At the opening, Bryant said it has been an honor working as Stultz’s adviser throughout her creative process. “I think it’s sort of an act of courage to guide us through her thinking process, her emotional sensibilities, and sort of remind us all about the emotional intensity of doing research,�

said Bryant, introducing Stultz before her gallery talk. To research for her master’s thesis, Stultz conducted oral history interviews and attended exhibitions, museums and gallery talks in Atlanta. Stultz spent twoand-a-half months in the city to immerse herself in the art world as much as she could, she said, and discovered common themes among various artists regarding social and political issues. “What I found is that a lot of artists are combating these narratives,� she said. “So, it kind of came to me that that’s what I do in my art. And it also came to me that this is something that has to be done.� “A Time for Joy and a Time for Sorrow� features 17 pieces, including canvas portraits created with oil, acrylic and mixed media. The exhibit’s name was inspired by the third chapter of Ecclesiastes in the Bible, Stultz wrote in her artist’s statement. The portraits of the various women reflect on personal life experiences that Stultz said she hopes can engage viewers who have experienced similar things. “They’re all kind of me because they embody an experience I’ve had, a thought I’ve had, a feeling I’ve had,� she said. While some guests participated in the live painting, others expressed their thoughts about the exhibit by writing quotes they resonated with on a chalk wall just outside the main gallery room. In offering a more interactive gallery experience, Stultz said her goal was to break down the “rigid� standards that galleries typically have, where visitors aren’t allowed to touch the art itself. These institutional boundaries, she said, have excluded artists of various

identities throughout history. In her research, Stultz said she explored how black artists have collaborated with other black artists to create their own artistic spaces after not being allowed in typical museum settings. “I wanted to have a space where it’s literally intended for you to touch, to kind of break down those practices that are really rigid and keep most people feeling uncomfortable,� she said. Accompanying the visual art are several poems from one of Stultz’s favorite poets, Nayyirah Waheed, pasted on the walls throughout the gallery. For Stultz, Waheed’s words help explain the paintings in ways that she couldn’t herself. She said she thought her own words couldn’t do the artwork justice and realized that her favorite poems

connected to many of her pieces. While giving her gallery talk Friday, Stultz welcomed questions from visitors and strived for the talk to be more of a conversation than a tour around the gallery. Several guests offered their own interpretations of the pieces, asking questions along the way about Stultz’s artistic process. The reception and exhibition were cosponsored by the department of African American studies in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Community Folk Art Center. This is the center’s first exhibition under Director Tanisha Jackson’s stewardship, she said. Said Jackson: “The work that you see is just wonderful and it comes from a place of critical thought and creativity.� hrober03@syr.edu

Syracuse outlasts physicality of Northwestern players By Eric Black

senior staff writer

Mary Rahal ducked in through two Northwestern defenders and turned to the goal. Before she could square up to take a shot though, she was blindsided. NU’s Carson Copeland checked her in the back and pushed her down to the ground. Slowly, the Syracuse midfielder picked herself up for a free position shot. A second later, Rahal took a step in toward the goal, free of any Wildcats around her, and scored. This time, it was her stick, which left her hands instantaneously after scoring, thrown to the ground. After more than 36 minutes of physical play, she let her aggression out and yelled in celebration. Rahal’s goal gave Syracuse a 12-9 lead, its largest of the game, nearly seven minutes into the second half. It was just one of numerous emotional celebrations in a contest that No. 7 Syracuse (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) ultimately won in overtime against No. 5 Northwestern (3-1), 15-14. In SU’s first top-10 matchup of the season as a top-10 team itself, the Orange were matched in aggressiveness step-for-step by the Wildcats, who came into the game undefeated. “Northwestern plays so hard and aggressive,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “We play pretty aggressively as well, so you’ve got two aggressive teams, so it’s gonna be a physical from page 12

army

After SU spent most of a third quarter possession hunting a shot, Barretto saved it. The rebound hopped into Stephen Rehfuss’ awaiting stick, alone on the backside. With an open net three feet away, Rehfuss calmly flicked his stick forward, into the wide webbing of Barretto as the senior dove from right to left, landing with the ball and starting the clear. Despite Barretto’s career day, Army couldn’t seem to stop defending. Every save seemed to come with a blown clear or a lost faceoff soon after. As a result, SU cobbled together a serviceable offensive performance. from page 12

hawryschuk Copeland, a defender, pressed the SU junior, inching her face closer to Hawryschuk’s. She stuck her tongue out at her, tried to make Hawryschuk laugh and stared into her eyes while Northwestern was on offense. “She was definitely trying to get into my head,” Hawryschuk said. “But I didn’t let her get in my head.” So when Hawryschuk was face-guarded on the Orange’s first two possessions, she shuffled her legs for picks offs — not trying to get the ball, rather forcing two defenders to stick with her. Starting 20 yards from the net, the junior faked a routine pass right. Two NU defenders reacted with a double team. It didn’t stop Hawryschuk. She cut in between her defenders, shimmied right, broke the ankles of one and left the other in the rearview. Hawryschuk got closer and swung a shot toward a crevice in the middle of two more NU defenders. It ripped the back of the net. “It was shooting to score,” Hawryschuk said, “and putting everything behind it.” from page 12

faceoff on the fly” when it comes to tabbing a main face-off specialist. Varrello offers quickness, Desko said after a recent practice. Whereas Phaup has a strength advantage. On Sunday, the 21-year-head coach tabbed Phaup and watched the possessions string together. On the game’s opening faceoff, Varello was muscled off his spot by Army’s Evan Condon. The Black Knights then charged down the field and ripped three consecutive shots on Orange goalie Drake Porter. On the fourth rebound, Liam Davenport sniped the near post following a pass from behind the cage. Varello and Condon battled for the ensuing two faceoffs, splitting victories. But SU wasn’t able to sustain possession. In one first quarter stretch, junior midfielder Jamie Trimboli put

game ... I thought it was a great game to watch, up and down, back and forth, and the physicality added to the excitement of the game.” The close play began from the start, as seemingly neither team allowed the other to score without getting pushed down at some point during the possession. Syracuse’s Sierra Cockerille earned the first of five yellow cards on the day just eight minutes into the game, when she took down Leighton Yenor. Yenor scored on the free position shot, tying the game at two. A few minutes later, it was Emily Hawryschuk who found herself on the ground. After gaining possession of the ball from Syracuse’s defensive half, Hawryschuk took the ball herself all the way to the other end and was checked, but scored in the process. Hawryschuk was face-guarded all game and was left with little more than a foot to maneuver around the field at all times. Sam Swart, on the other hand, wasn’t as pressured. She took advantage of an opening in the defense later in the first half and scored, but was swiped in the head by the stick of her defender. While the rest of her team celebrated, Swart stayed on the ground holding her head. “They were a very physical team, and we expected that because our coaches told us that,” Swart said. “I know I get up and I hold my arm, but at the same time, I know I can give the ball and take a little breather, but they

were physical.” Northwestern came out in an aggressive man-to-man defense focused on stopping Hawryschuk, but it failed to phase SU. Syracuse had most of its success against the man-to-man, struggling at times when faced with a zone.

“I thought we made them play a lot of defense,” Desko said. “It’s hard to make anybody play that much defense.” When the Black Knights did break out and play some offense, they met stiff resistance. Nick Mellen, SU’s star cover defender, spent the afternoon smothering Army’s leading scorer Brendan Nichtern, who finished with one goal. Army as a team went scoreless on the man up and turned it over 16 times. Syracuse caused 10 of those turnovers. A handful came in the middle of the field off draws, but the largest portion were in the defensive end. Army passed across and through the defense often, rather than around it. Whenever they skipped passes over the defense or from behind the net, a Syracuse

long pole extended and cut out the attempt. When shots arrived on the SU cage, Drake Porter nearly outdueled Barretto and made 16 saves. He tallied two stops before even allowing a goal on Sunday. From scoring goal No. 3 in the second quarter to goal No. 4 in the third, Army took 18:45. In that time, SU pushed a 3-3 tie into a 7-3 advantage. “In all, I think they played pretty stingy today,” Desko said of SU’s defense. The margins and facets of play Desko’s emphasized in recent weeks are common coaching points. SU struggled to excel at them against weaker competition, though, and that worried Desko. Despite a strong defense and a plethora of goal scoring options, the Orange turned in

a 12-9 loss in the opener. That, it seems, was an aberration. Last weekend’s 13-5 waxing of Albany, too, doesn’t fit what SU will likely do to teams the rest of the year. On Sunday, a clearer picture emerged. A talented defense and goalie expected to slow down and frustrate and opposing offense did. A deep, experienced offense and midfield put together enough goals to keep the Black Knights at arm’s reach. The Orange scooped more ground balls, did more to secure faceoffs and dominated time of possession. “I think we really wore those guys down,” Porter said. It took two weeks, but the team Desko hoped would emerge has.

Six minutes later, Copeland upped her antics. Her stare-downs and pressure started 60 yards from the net. It didn’t bother Hawryschuk, she said, but it did provide extra motivation. So off an out of bounds play, Hawryschuk waved her stick, beginning for the ball to start outside of the end zone. In the back of the end zone, she hesitated and made Copeland trip. Hawryschuk stormed to the net to score her third goal of the game on a one-hopper. Instead of jumping toward her teammates or celebrating immediately, she looked behind the net, right in the direction of Copeland. Syracuse entered the half just up a goal, 9-8, but Hawryschuk was dominating. Similar to last year, when Northwestern flipped from zone to man-to-man, the Wildcats did the opposite. Hawryschuk torched one-onone and wasn’t fazed by Copeland and her pressure. But when the junior was stuck in the middle of the field surrounded by three defenders in her vicinity, she was stagnant. “She was sticking to game plan,” Gait said. “Knowing everything was going to fall into place.

And slowly, the Wildcats fought back. SU’s offense operated right, the remnants of a pressured Hawryschuk in the first half still there. When she was open close to the net, she wasn’t found. When she picked up a ground ball, it was taken away from her. She played into Northwestern’s strategy. A 12-9 SU lead shrunk. Aside from Hawryschuk, SU’s offense couldn’t score — without a goal for more than 18 minutes at one point in the second half. Northwestern slowly crushed Sarah Cooper and Kerry Defliese in the back, and rattled off five consecutive goals. Another Syracuse lead blown — a continuous trend of last year’s 9-10 team — was looming. But Northwestern fell into its own hole. Sierra Cockerville scored with five minutes left, and after a jersey change to No. 10 on the team’s final possession in regulation, freshman Megan Carney drove half the length of the field to tie the game. Hawryschuk put No. 51 on her back once more, and headed to the 50-yard line for the draw. She struggled in the second half, she said, and thought about it going into overtime.

The ball went to the Wildcats, who missed on an errant shot, and Gait called a timeout. His top attack hadn’t scored in almost 40 minutes. But he designed the play around Hawryschuk. “I trusted the team to play good offense,” Gait said. “Em was cutting hard and working hard all day.” He drew up a look for Hawryschuk on the left side — her side. If that wasn’t there, go to Levy. If Northwestern compromised both, at least one cutter would be open. On the ensuing possession, Hawryschuk bypassed her options and was squandered around the crease. She fell to the ground, stayed there and expected a foul. But it didn’t come. “It sort of fell through a little,” Hawryschuk said. “Not getting a foul and all.” Mary Rahal picked up Hawryschuk’s miss, and after two passes, it was back in the junior’s hands. Seconds later, it was in the back of the net. “People feel comfortable giving (Hawryschuk) the opportunity,” Gait said. “And we did. We gutted it out.”

his hands in the air, as if he was telling the offense to settle down. The Orange did, running a stack play with redshirt junior attack Stephen Rehfuss behind the net. No one broke free, though. But then Phaup was inserted after a Jacob Buttermore score. Phaup won his first draw after a pushing foul swung possession in SU’s favor. “He did a tremendous job of getting the ball out to space and picking the ball up and running with it and getting to the open man,” Desko said of Phaup. “As a result, he gave us a lot of possessions that we might not have in different situations.” As SU’s offense slowly opened up in the second quarter, it was Phaup’s wins that kick-started the momentum. He won in a variety of ways. He dug through two black jerseys and scooped a grounder. He tossed it to himself at other times. On other draws, Austin Fusco blocked his oppos-

ing wing with a long pole and Phaup muscled away the plastic ball and charged up field. When senior Bradley Voigt scored with 8:09 left in the second, Phaup ran to midfield mid-celebration. He adjusted his gloves, crouched down and won again. In the game’s decisive stretch — a 5-1 Orange run that extended through the second and third frames — Phaup shone. SU earned eight of nine draws which turned into eight more shot attempts and three more goals. For long periods, Barretto stifled Syracuse. He tallied eight saves in the second quarter and finished with 18. He knocked away doorstep tries, stepped into passing lanes and cleared with relative ease. The 5-foot-6 stopper shined at times, triggering cheers from the Black Knights’ fan section. But Phaup’s performance kept the pressure on the senior, and eventually SU broke through.

“We wanted to keep it on the ground for as long as we can,” Alberici said, “try to get our wings in there to play, make plays and they made a couple turnovers. For the most part, (Phaup) did an outstanding job.” Late in the fourth quarter, a “Let’s go Orange” chant trickled through the stands. Redshirt sophomore David Lipka worked down the alley, ripped and sealed the contest with a score. Phaup rushed to midfield and subtly pumped his fist. He then lowered his stick head and capped the “W.” When he reached the Syracuse sidelines, he chestbumped a teammate. Once again, he had made sure that the Orange took advantage of Army’s biggest weakness. “If I’m giving out MVP,” Alberici said, “I thought he was clearly the guy. He was terrific. He was a big difference in the game.”

Number of goals Syracuse was leading Army by before allowing five-straight goals in its 15-14 win

From the draw control circle, it was another story. After winning the majority of draws in three of its first four games, only dropping them in its one loss to No. 1 Boston College, Syracuse came out and had difficulties against Northwestern. Despite winning for the first time this season when dropping most of its draws, SU had its worst game of the season in the area and lost 20-of-31. “They (Northwestern) work incredibly hard, and I think we saw that in the draw controls,” Gait said. “They just out-hustled us in those draw controls, and came up with more possessions than we did ... but we gutted it out and we got

opportunities, and we didn’t give up.” The Orange were close to giving in with 9:22 left in the second half, when Northwestern tied the game for the first time since it was 2-2. Out of a timeout following the goal, it looked like the physicality of the game had caught up to Syracuse — the Wildcats walked back onto the field with a spring in their step, while the Orange looked lifeless. But even after falling behind by two goals two minutes later, SU had more than enough life in it. Cockerille’s second goal of the year cut it to one. Then, with 25 seconds left, Megan Carney tied the game and sent it to overtime. When Hawryschuk nailed a gamewinner with just over a minute left in the first extra period, Syracuse’s energetic celebration could’ve fooled someone into believing that it came just one minute into the game. The Syracuse half of the stands exploded, while the SU bench — after waiting for the stick check — flooded onto the field. Just behind the SU celebration, Wildcats goalie Julie Krupnick collapsed to the ground. This time, there’d be no rebound after falling down. “Our team has a lot of heart, and I think that’s what’s different this year,” Swart said. “Heart wins all games, I think that’s why (Hawryschuk) got that shot, because she just wanted it, and that’s what our team has the most.” erblack@syr.edu | @esblack34

BRENDAN CURRY attacks Army’s defense in Syracuse’s 10-8 win Sunday over the Black Knights. The Orange opened an early 8-4 lead and fought off an Army comeback late for a second-straight win. tj shaw staff photographer

No. 17 Syracuse wears down No. 13 Army, 10-8, to earn second-straight ranked win By Andrew Graham senior staff writer

O

n Sunday against Army, Syracuse finally played like John Desko said the Orange needed to. Since getting embarrassed by Colgate in the opener, Desko’s harped on winning faceoffs, scooping up ground balls and clearing. A week ago against then-No. 15 Albany, some of the issues were corrected. Syracuse won the ground ball battle and cleared efficiently. But the Orange still lost at the faceoff X and won mostly on the back of its stout defense against a one-dimensional Great Danes attack. Against the Black Knights, Syracuse scooped 15 more ground balls, went 16-of-18 on clears and won 81 percent of faceoffs. It was the type of performance Desko had been waiting for. “We were playing uphill the whole game,� Army head coach Joe Alberici said. No. 17 Syracuse’s (2-1) 10-8 win against No. 13 Army (3-1) set the blueprint for the Orange this season. Statistical margins, coupled with another strong defensive outing and 10 goals from seven different goal scorers earned SU the win. Considering that Army goalie AJ Barretto made a career-high

18 saves and SU held the ball for most of the game, the Black Knights were fortunate to keep it as close as they did. “It was about as I thought it might go,� Desko said. “We knew that Army was going to play for 60 minutes, they always do.� In the opener against Colgate, the Orange defended valiantly but fell short on clears, ground balls and even got outshot (41-36). Struggles at the faceoff X were noted. They continued against Albany a week later, but were masked by a dominance in ground balls, shots and the fact that outside of Tehoka Nanticoke, the Great Danes didn’t pose much of a scoring threat. Against Army, the Orange dominated statistically, starting at the faceoff X. After Danny Varello started and won two of his first three draws, Jakob Phaup spelled him and dominated Army’s Evan Condon, finishing 15-of-18. In possession often, SU’s offense worked the ball around, milking the shot clock and shooting when good opportunities presented themselves. SU struggled to take its good looks against Colgate and Albany, when some players felt like shots were rushed. The Orange didn’t struggle to get open or good looks against Army, but were befuddled by Barretto, who kept the game from becoming a blowout. see army page 10

SU’s Jakob Phaup dominates at the faceoff X By Nick Alvarez

asst. sports editor

Jakob Phaup wasn’t surprised on Sunday. Throughout the last week, Syracuse head coach John Desko anticipated that Army would throw the “kitchen sink� at his faceoff duo. A long pole at the X PHAUP paired with two

more on the wings. An attack. A traditional faceoff specialist. In the end, it didn’t matter who wore the black jersey at the block “S� in midfield. In recent practices, SU deployed a scout team of long-stick midfielders, Brett Barlow and Sam Schluter, to mimic the Black Knights’ plan of attack. They whacked at Phaup and junior Danny Varello’s arms and fought for ground balls. Black Knights’ head coach Joe Alberici told his faceoff unit to create ground ball opportunities, an issue

SU has had in the early season. No. 13 Army (3-1) was prepared for the Orange’s “two-headed monster� combo with Phaup and Varello. But it was Phaup’s oneman performance that stood out, propelling No. 17 Syracuse (2-1) to a 10-8 win in the Carrier Dome. Entering the contest, the Black Knights had a 27.3 percent faceoff win-percentage. A number not even listed on the NCAA stats board. The lowest — Fairfield’s 32.4 percent — ranked 69th. Phaup won 15 of the

game’s 21 battles at the X, granting his offense extra possession. Which it then used to break down Army goalie AJ Barretto, who tallied a career-high 18 saves. “All throughout the week we practiced during our fog drill a pole coming on,� Phaup said. “So during the game it was just like second nature ‘cause we prepared so well for it during the week.� Through three games, Desko has shown a willingness to “adjust

see faceoff page 10

Emily Hawryschuk told herself to be calm. She knew Gary Gait trusted her to shoot the first time — she just had to try one more time. So when she moved from her normal area, the left side of the net, to the middle of field, 25 yards from the HAWRYSCHUK net, Hawryschuk gathered for a brief moment. She looked off to Nicole Levy on the right — the second scoring option of Gait’s play — and sprinted forward. She had 10 yards of space in front of her and made it halfway to the goal before Syracuse’s cutters on both edges stopped moving. It was Hawryschuk’s moment. Face guarding antics from Nell Copeland were lost. Standing still in the middle of the field without a stick in the air was forgotten. Her lifeless second half didn’t matter anymore. A full wind up toward the top left corner of the net did, though. “Shot clock is going down,� Hawryschuk said. “I just put it away.�

Number of goals Emily Hawryschuk scored against Northwestern

Her game-winning goal ended the thought of another opposition’s comeback over Syracuse. The team who couldn’t finish last year, Gait said, and blew a five-goal lead to No. 1 Boston College last Saturday, was a shot away from blowing another lead: this one, a 12-9 advantage midway through the second half. But, No. 7 Syracuse (4-1, 0-1 Atlantic Coast) rebounded over No. 5 Northwestern (3-1), 15-14, and picked up its first win over a ranked opponent. Hawryschuk, Syracuse’s top attack, spent the first half face guarded by a rotation of Wildcat defenders. But after a hat trick in the opening 22 minutes, the junior was stationary after a change in defensive scheme. Her offense was quiet until SU’s lone possession in overtime — the only time it counted. “Em got that shot because she wanted it,� midfielder Sam Swart said. “I knew if I put the ball in Chuckie’s hands, she could finish it.� Before Sunday’s heroics, Hawryschuk still was the team’s leading goal-scorer (10), but with a balanced attack including five players with double-digit points, she wasn’t always the first option. But that’s not how Northwestern saw her. see hawryschuk page 10
