Two Syracuse University students were arrested this weekend on drug charges as a result of an ongoing investigation into the death of an SU freshman, the Syracuse Police Department said Tuesday.

There is no indication that criminal activity was involved in the death of Marianne Guppenberger, 19, of Taipei, Taiwan, police said. Guppenberger died in the early morning of April 6 after falling out of a window in Brewster Hall.

A small fire broke out on the 700 block of Ostrom Avenue on Tuesday afternoon, forcing the five Syracuse University students who lived in the house to find a place to stay overnight.

The fire started at about 3:40 p.m., said District Chief Todd Milton of the Syracuse Fire Department. None of the students who lived in the house at 773 Ostrom Ave. were home at the time, and there were no injuries, Milton said. There was minimal fire and

But at Syracuse University, graduating with honors is more than a flimsy piece of paper — it’s a commitment to excellence, say administrators, students and alumni in SU’s Renee Crown University Honors Program.

Students appear in city court

By Dylan Segelbaum ASST. COPY EDITOR

Two Syracuse University students appeared in Syracuse City Court on Tuesday afternoon. The students were arrested outside of the Schine Student Center in February following fights that broke out after a dance party in Goldstein Auditorium.

Lawrence Jackson and Andre Sadler appeared in front of City Court Judge Karen Uplinger shortly after 2 p.m. Uplinger said the cases will be dismissed in six months and that the students’ records will be sealed if they stay out of trouble.

After the appearance, Jackson and Sadler declined to comment.

Both were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct following a Feb. 2 dance party held in Schine.

Jackson is a student in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and Sadler is in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management. They had their cases adjourned in March because they were out of town.

Six other SU students were also arrested outside of Schine and one was arrested at the John C. Dillon Public Safety Building. They appeared in city court March 12. dmsegelb@syr.edu

Decked out in an orange sweatshirt to match his orange shoes, filmmaker Spike Lee was dressed to represent both his hometown team, the New York Knicks, and Syracuse University.

The famous Brooklynite and current New York University professor spoke about his college years and his path to filmmaking in front of a packed Goldstein Auditorium on Tuesday evening. The National Pan-Hellenic Council at SU presented the event.

Lee began his informal speech by telling the audience he was a D-plus, C-minus student during his first two years at Morehouse College in Atlanta. When a student cheered at that announcement, Lee said success in school is no laughing matter.

“That’s the problem today,” he said. “We are championing ignorance. We’ve got to champion excellence. No one should be proud of being a D-plus, C-minus student.”

The summer after his sophomore year in 1977, Lee said he went home looking to make a little money. With the city having hit hard times economically, jobs were tough to come by. He

ended up borrowing a friend’s video camera and taking footage of events that happened during the summer.

Lee went back to school with a newfound passion. He picked up a new major in mass communications at Clark Atlanta University and used the footage to make a documentary.

“Junior and senior year, I was an A-plus student. And not just in my major,” Lee said. “Every class, I was an A-plus student. And why? Because now, I was motivated. I knew what I

wanted to do for the rest of my life.”

Lee credited the start of his career to his teacher, Herb Eichelberger.

“There were many times at 6 o’clock when Dr. Eichelberger should be going home to his wife and children,” Lee said. “He would stay three or four hours just so I could continue to cut my film in the film lab.”

Lee said he also found support to pursue his dreams from his grandmother, who was able to pay for Lee to receive his undergraduate and gradu-

ate education.

It was the positive reinforcement from his grandmother that aided Lee in his success. He said it’s important never to pursue a major solely for the purpose of making money, even if your parents might be against it.

“A lot of times, when you choose a major that’s not business, that’s not law, that’s artistic stuff — that would be dancing, singing, writing, poetry — that’s when you get the stink-face look from your parents,” Lee said. “Parents kill more dreams than anybody.”

Lee concluded his speech by talking about the importance of education for young black men and women today.

Previous generations, Lee said, risked their lives to become educated.

Now, about half of the young black people in the United States graduate from high school, and more are incarcerated than enrolled in colleges, he said.

“So all these things are tied in together,” he said. “And really, as we move forward as a nation, it will be people like yourselves in the audience to get this stuff straight, because it’s messed up now.” sblum@syr.edu

Former SU Alumni Association president cites reasoning for premature resignation University chancellors come and go. Staff members and professors come and go. Even students come and go. Alumni are the only constant — they are forever.

These include both those who make the largest gifts and those with fewer financial resources who passionately give their time and talent to promote Syracuse University and create an environment in which the university’s graduates, former students, current students and friends become and stay connected to the university and each other. This is, in essence, the mission statement of the SU National Alumni Association.

As Chancellor-Elect Cantor wrote in a message to alumni, published in Syracuse Magazine: “As alumni, you are one of the University’s most valuable links to the world. You represent a great pool of talent from which we can draw ideas and advice, as well as an intergenerational connection for students now on campus.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR In January, I reluctantly resigned as president of the alumni association and as a trustee — a position held based on being alumni president — five months before the end of my two-year term. I am sure it came as a shock to many because of my unlimited and unconditional love and devotion to SU. I did so because of my deep disappointment and frustration with what I viewed as low regard that the Board of Trustees and university administration had for the Alumni Board.

Under Larry Bashe’s leadership, and while I was president, the Alumni Board followed the explicit direction of the administration by becoming smaller and, last year, developing and implementing an Alumni Philanthropy Plan. The motivation for the plan was to lever-

age the resources available for and cost of fundraising by organizing and training groups of alumni volunteers to assist the development staff and reach new potential donors. The goal was to increase the “participation rate,” the percentage of alumni who donate and to serve as a foundation for future capital campaigns, instead of focusing solely on larger gifts, which the Alumni Board wholeheartedly supported.

During this process, representations were made regarding the role and importance of the Alumni Board, among others. The board was told it was “second in importance at SU only to the Board of Trustees,” and was lauded for the significant progress it had made in many areas, including most notably the philanthropy plan.

However, when it came to the new chancellor search committee, the true value of the Alumni Board became apparent. Notwithstanding its efforts and representations made to it, a member of the board was not offered a seat at the table for the most important decision to be made in the last 10 years regarding the future of the university. Various reasons were provided for the snub, but they all rang hollow: • There were already alumni on the committee, but none who are not either large donors, trustees or professional or other staff members.

• The committee is already too large, a justification usually given to exclude otherwise deserving representation.

• Not all organizations or constituencies are represented on the committee. The board is not just a “constituency,” but rather represents the one and only Alumni Association of the university.

I was also told that no Alumni Board member served on the prior two search committees, which was not true. I learned that the then-board president served on the Chancellor Shaw search committee. I viewed the decision as a vote of “no confidence” and a repudiation of what the board accomplished the last few years.

I also learned that the board was not included in the development of the new plan for Regional Councils. Is this part of a master plan to replace the Alumni Association and alumni clubs with the Regional Councils?

The questionable commitment to alumni can also be gleaned from the lack of attention to the significant staffing issues at the Office of Alumni Relations, including the failure to permanently fill the Director of Clubs position, now staffed by an interim director, and the extended delay in filling the executive director position, also currently staffed on an interim basis.

Most troubling is the decision of senior administration staff to denigrate the board by challenging its own giving and saying it will never have the prominent role it was told and believed it had unless and until it gives more, the first time total board giving had ever been raised. One must wonder if this is pure coincidence or instead part of the new master plan.

There is desperate need for a re-evaluation of the role and function of the Alumni Board, the Alumni Association, as well as the alumni clubs to ensure the voices of all alumni — not just of the largest donors or those who have “connections” — are heard loud and clear and that their efforts, and not just dollars, are encouraged and valued. It is also not too late to reaffirm the values and efforts of SU’s alumni by giving an Alumni Board member a seat on the search committee.

SU belongs to its alumni and not just to a select few who are “in power.” I still love and will support the university. I just don’t want to see the hard work, devotion and enthusiasm of its alumni volunteers the last several years to be in vain.

Safety concerns warrant city budget revisal The crime rate in the city of Syracuse is higher than 96 percent of the state’s cities and towns. Yet Mayor Stephanie Miner’s 2013-14 budget proposal includes a provision to remove the 42 vacant positions within the Syracuse Police Department.

The Syracuse Common Council should consider revising this aspect of the proposal, released April 8. Two weeks of budget hearings kicked off April 15, and the budget must be finalized and voted on by May 8.

Miner’s budget proposes no tax hikes or layoffs. But in a city with a crime rate “considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest,” as reported by NeighborhoodScout. com, residents must ask an essential question: Is a zero tax hike

EDITORIAL by the daily orange worth community safety not being properly addressed?

During the next two weeks of discussion, the common council should highly consider this concept.

The proposal also includes closing Fire Station No. 7, the station closest to Syracuse University, and reducing the number of firefighters on duty per shift.

Common Councilor Pat Hogan and Lonnie Johnson, president of Local 280 of the International Union of Firefighters, are both quite concerned about Syracuse maintaining the ability to respond quickly to emergencies with both the closure and reduced number of on-duty fire fighters, The Post-Standard reported April 8.

A single engine company at

Fire Station No. 1 will take on the designated responsibility of responding to the central core of the city, as the downtown area is growing in both population and commercial traffic, according to the article.

Though these potentially hazardous cuts are alarming and should be reconsidered, the proposed allotment of $1 million to Say Yes to Education should stand. This program, in which SU is involved, greatly helps students enrolled in the struggling Syracuse City School District.

Certain aspects of Miner’s budget are commendable, but the potential compromise of safety in Syracuse must be re-examined.

Raising taxes may prove more beneficial than reducing the number of fire stations and leaving policing positions vacant.

Media, Department of Homeland Security identify political right as extremist

W

hile the perpetrator of the Boston Marathon attack remains unknown, it didn’t stop some mainstream media from immediately making speculations Monday.

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews led the charge. He was convinced the perpetrator was a domestic terrorist, but didn’t stop there.

“Normally domestic terrorists, people, tend to be on the far right,” he said.

Matthews followed this bogus claim by explaining that he also knew why these “far right terrorists” attacked.

The date, April 15, was Tax Day. “I don’t think Tax Day means a lot to the Arab world or Islamic world or certainly not to al-Qaeda,” he added.

Matthews, and MSNBC as a whole, have an extensive history of depicting Libertarians, Tea Party members and other conservative groups as extremists.

In 2010, MSNBC aired a special called, “Rise of the New Right,” which, according to the network’s website,

News Editor Editorial Editor Sports Editor Feature Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Copy Chief Art Director Development Editor Enterprise Editor Social Media Producer Video Editor Web Developer Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. News Editor Asst. Feature Editor

depicts “the growing fear among citizens of losing their rights and freedoms” resulting in “violent rhetoric and anti-government groups.”

In the special, Matthews repeatedly refers to members of the Tea Party and supporters of Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) as extremists.

Also in 2010, MSNBC attempted to depict Paul as racist by releasing a fraudulent transcript of his interview on “The Rachel Maddow Show,” which falsely indicated he answered, “yes” when asked if businesses should have the right to say, “We don’t serve black people.”

While mainstream media outlets like MSNBC try time and again to paint these groups as racist, extremist and violent, they are following the government’s lead.

In April 2009, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a report titled, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment.”

the last free american The report insists, without presenting any evidence, that right-wing extremism is rising rapidly due to job loss, foreclosures and, of course, the election of a black president.

Perhaps most troubling is that the report says the department recognizes extremism as not just hate or racist groups, but groups that “reject federal authority in favor of state or local authority” or “are dedicated to a single issue,” such as gun control.

A 2012 report by the departmentfunded National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism also named those “suspicious of centralized federal authority” and “reverent of individual

liberty” as “extreme right-wing,” possibly terrorists.

While these and other documents indicate the department is eyeing domestic terrorist “threats” identified by vague characteristics — vague enough to include anyone who opposes the efforts of this administration to further strip our liberties — it has aggressively increased its capacity to combat Americans.

This year alone, amid of a sequester “crisis,” we have seen reports in the mainstream media of the Department of Homeland Security buying up to two billion rounds of ammunition — enough to fight a 24-year Iraq war — along with several thousand assault weapons.

We have also seen the vast majority of Congress remain silent at the possibility of drone strikes on U.S. soil, with fleets of drones being equipped to monitor Americans from above.

We have witnessed a tenacious push for gun control and the dismantling of our God-given right to defend ourselves.

And let’s not forget the 2011 renewal of the Patriot Act, which allows warrantless spying on Americans, and the 2012 authorization of the indefinite detention of Americans without trial.

One of these facts alone is easily dismissible, but put together, they become worrisome. And the Obama administration, notorious for its lack of transparency, does little to calm these worries.

The vast majority of mainstream media, if not busy propagandizing the fear and hatred of certain groups, stay clear of this issue — they would be chastised as “conspiracy theorists,” and paranoid.

HONORS FROM PAGE 1

an investment in their development that’s significant in the currencies of time, caring and material resources,” said Samuel Gorovitz, founding director of the honors program.

After the honors program was revamped in 2005, a new model demanded greatness from its students. It told them to aim higher. Push harder. Be brilliant.

Those close to the program say that in order to be successful in the honors program, an investment must be made by both students and faculty. If the two parties are willing to put in the effort, the student will receive an interdisciplinary education that exceeds that of their peers.

Nearly eight years after the overhaul, the improvements are evident. “It is fundamentally qualitative, not quantitative,” Gorovitz said.

“No two students are alike. Every one of them requires a personal investment.”

It’s these investments that lead students to venture onto the high seas, become Oxford Scholars and transform the way students interact with alumni.

••• A voyage out to sea hooked Anna Kahkoska.

As a Colorado native, Kahkoska had never been to Cape Cod, Mass., much less on a research vessel studying oceanic processes while simultaneously floating above the continental shelf.

The trip was a part of her interdisciplinary honors course, HNR 200: “Oceans and Shipwrecks,” and it would become one of 12 she would take during her four years at SU. It was the unique variety of honors courses that kept her interested in the program, said

Kahkoska, a senior biochemistry major. But it was her performance in them that sparked the curiosity of her professors.

Gorovitz and Cathryn Newton, who later co-taught Kahkoska, offered to mentor her, and she gratefully accepted. They encouraged her to pursue a number of prestigious scholarships and joint master’s and doctorate programs instead of simply trying to get accepted to medi-

“I would have never known to apply to those kind of programs if I hadn’t had professors who were watching out for me, paying attention to where my strengths were.”

Anna Kahkoska

SENIOR BIOCHEMISTRY MAJOR

cal school — no small feat in itself.

And so began an all-encompassing mentorship involving a constant open line of communication, allowing Kahkoska and her professors to develop a relationship extending far beyond the classroom.

After a yearlong process of mock interviews, editing application essays and unwavering encouragement, Kahkoska began receiving acceptance letters from some of the nation’s most competitive programs, including Johns Hopkins University.

“I would have never known to apply to those kind of programs if I hadn’t had professors who were watching out for me, paying attention to

where my strengths were,” she said.

Kahkoska accepted an offer from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and said she owes her success to the rigorous mentoring she received in the honors program. The program is demanding, but there’s nothing that compares to having people who care so deeply about one’s future, she said.

The support from honors faculty got her through every stage in the process: “I have felt it from across the country when I walk into an interview room.”

••• For former College of Arts and Sciences Dean Newton, the honors program exemplifies a commitment to students.

Newton, a world-renowned scholar in both paleontology and shipwrecks, has spent the majority of her life as an educator at SU, where she has relentlessly pushed her students to take their initial goals to the next level.

One of the many advantages to being in the honors program, she said, is that faculty don’t just say they will individually advise students — they actually do. This begins in the classroom — or on a field trip in the Atlantic Ocean— where their experiences shape each other’s intellectual lives, she said.

But some of the most fulfilling opportunities come outside of the structured class periods. These are the times when she helps students refine their essays and interviewing skills for competitive fellowships. Or when seniors are scrambling to complete their capstone projects that they’ve been working on for more than a year.

During the last 30 years, Newton has proven her commitment to the entire program, not just individual students who pass through her classroom. As former dean, she commissioned the overhaul of the honors program and its mission, and was the brainchild behind the Life Sciences Complex.

“Committing to an honors student is a commitment for life,” she said. “These are people that one doesn’t lose track of.”

equipment, totaling several thousand dollars, LePard said. Newhouse footed the bill for expensive hardware such as the iPad and television monitor, but it was the honors program that approved his capstone proposal and encouraged him to pursue an innovative way to share the alumni’s stories.

“You can have an incredible story, but if you don’t have a way to convey it that’s interesting to your viewer, it means nothing,” said LePard, who graduated with a broadcast and digital journalism degree in December 2011.

The product wasn’t fully functional until after LePard graduated, but is now used by Newhouse guides when accepted students tour the complex.

LePard, who now works as a television reporter in Illinois, said, “I have something tangible I can look back on at the university and say, ‘I helped contribute this.’”

••• After Alex Weiss became the first SU student in history to make it to the interview stage for the National Institute of Health Oxford-Cambridge Scholars Program, his professors created an extensive plan.

Weiss was ordered to dress in formal attire and perform mock interviews with select members of the honors faculty. He would pretend they’d never met and they would hurl difficult questions at him. When it was finished, Weiss was told to leave the room. Those professors

“Committing to an honors student is a commitment for life.

These are people that one doesn’t lose track of.”

Cathryn Newton

FORMER COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES DEAN

••• At a time when most journalism students were working on a final story to fulfill their capstone, alumnus Clay LePard thought he’d try his hand at producing an interactive project.

Advisers suggested LePard find a way to digitize the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications alumni gallery — since it consisted solely of still photographs from the 1990s.

The result of his brainstorming can be seen on the third floor of Newhouse III, where an iPad sits secured to a podium, facing a flat screen mounted on the wall across from it. This software connects to a website where visitors can watch videos of famous alumni discussing their experiences at SU. LePard traveled to popular alumni destinations on the East Coast and conducted a series of interviews with SU icons like Mike Tirico and Sean McDonough. Some would talk about their extracurricular activities on campus, while others would reveal why they became journalists in the first place, he said.

Both the honors program and Newhouse provided funding for travel expenses and

gave him a long list of things to work on.

Then it would happen all over again.

This relentless preparation and special attention helped Weiss secure the fellowship — which is more difficult to get than a Rhodes scholarship. Weiss, now an alumnus, received full funding for his entire graduate program at Oxford, all expenses paid and a $3,000 a year stipend to fly back to the United States.

The honors program was a chance to follow his interests while being pushed academically in ways he never thought were possible, he said. The program facilitated his insatiable interests in multidisciplinary learning, which were always at the core of his academic pursuits, he said.

“The administrators and professors who support the program expect you to be a self-starter,” he said in an email. “They expect you to not only participate, but to enhance the experience for the other students in the program.” egsawyer@syr.edu @3sawyer

Price of safety City’s budget proposal could lead to less spending on police, firefighters

By Alfred Ng

T

STAFF WRITER

he city of Syracuse’s proposed budget, submitted by Mayor Stephanie Miner, could lead to less money for the city’s police department and fire department.

The proposed budget was presented April 8 and outlines reductions in expenditures for the city’s police department and fire department, along with an increase in the city’s pension and health care costs.

The mayor’s budget plan also calls for a $4.1 million decrease in departmental expenditures from the 2012-13 budget, which is predicted to come mostly out of the city’s police and fire departments, according to an April 8 news release from the Office of the Mayor.

The city is still planning to shut down Fire Station No. 7 on East Fayette Street, which is the closest station to Syracuse University. Though no positions will be eliminated, there aren’t plans to hire more firefighters, according to the release.

If Fire Station No. 7 is closed, its firefighters will be relocated to other stations in the city, according to the release. The fire department will save $1.9 million for 38 vacancies, according to the budget proposal.

A similar hiring freeze is proposed on the city’s police department, saving the city $2.3 million for 42 vacancies, according to the budget proposal.

“We would like to have more police officers on the streets, but we’re in a tough fiscal time and we have to adapt to our money constraints,” said Sgt. Tom Connellan of the Syracuse Police Department. “We are learning to do more with less.”

Connellan said it is still too early to predict whether these financial setbacks will affect the city’s crime rate.

as tensions between the two countries rise.

Since North Korea launched its third nuclear test in February, the relationship has remained uncertain, Thorson said.

In addition, the United States announced it’s speeding up the deployment of a missile defense system to Guam two years ahead of schedule to protect American forces stationed there, The New York Times reported April 3.

Adding to the United States’ anxiety is its inability to accurately read North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Thorson said. This lack of insight comes from the relatively new leadership, as well as the United States isolating itself from North Korea, he said.

This crisis is the latest incident in a volatile

is expected to increase by about $4 million from the previous year, according to the release. The city’s health care expenditures for both active and retired employees will also continue to rise, according the release.

The State Employee Retirement System and the Police and Fire Retirement System both saw double-digit contribution increases, which are passed along to the city, according to the budget proposal.

Syracuse Common Councilor Bob Dougherty said the city was unprepared for the large amount of retirees and sharp increase in health care costs, which is a part of the reason for this increase.

“People are living longer than they used to,” Dougherty said. “You have this bubble of people who all came in at the same time and are all going out at the same time. Those costs are coming home to roost now.”

Dougherty said a few members of the council would like to have more firefighters and police officers, but the city doesn’t have the proper funds for them.

The Syracuse Common Council will meet in the next two weeks to finalize and vote on the budget by May 8, said Councilor At-Large Kathleen Joy. Joy, who is chairwoman of the council’s Finance, Taxation and Assessment Committee, said she agrees with the proposed budget’s departmental cuts, and hopes the city’s police department can put an end to spending on items for officers such as unmarked cars, which she described as a perk.

“I’m sure there’s ways to make our neighborhoods safer, but putting more money into the police department is not one of them,” Joy said.

“Just because there’s more money in the police budget doesn’t mean it’ll deter more crime.”

region, which has seen recent leadership changes in both North and South Korea. The United States has been running joint military drills with South Korea and has flown B-2 stealth bombers over the country as a part of its security agreement, which promises that the United States would defend both South Korea and Japan in the event of a threat from North Korea, Thorson said.

The flyovers make North Koreans nervous, he said, as they are a reminder of the U.S. carpet-bombing that destroyed much of their country during the Korean War. “Having spoken with North Koreans, I think it is the case that North Korea, whether rightly or wrongly, feels threatened by the array of forces lined against it,” Thorson said.

President Barack Obama’s election in 2008 raised hopes for a resolution with North Korea, said Frederick Carriere, a Pacific Century Institute senior fellow at the Korean Peninsula

Affairs Center at SU. The Obama administration reached a “Leap Day Deal” in 2012, which would have required North Korea to suspend major parts of its nuclear program in exchange for food aid from the United States, he said.

But the deal fell apart when North Korea used a missile to launch a satellite, and the United States withdrew its aid. While the United States claimed the deal included restrictions applied to satellite launches, North Korea responded that there was no such provision, Carriere said.

“That was the last straw on the camel’s back for the North Koreans,” he said.

Another area of concern to North Korea is that the United States is one of the few countries that refuses to recognize North Korea diplomatically, Carriere said.

Refusing to recognize North Korea is a concern because the United States has had a his-

tory of “aiding and abetting” efforts to displace leadership it does not approve of, Carriere said, citing Iran as an example.

Both Carriere and Thorson said this situation lacks an easy resolution. But Thorson, who called himself an optimist, said North Korea appears to be softening its response.

The United States could benefit from a better engagement with North Korea in the form of exchanges, like the one SU currently has with Kim Chaek University of Technology in Pyongyang.

Such an exchange, he said, would give the United States a sense of how North Korea views issues.

These exchanges can work, Carriere said, as long as the interest is mutual and the relationship organic.

Said Carriere: “The one-dimensional nature of thinking about the other country begins to fall apart.” najisaka@syr.edu

The American Red Cross assisted the students with food, and many of them were able to find friends to stay with, said Liz Ersek, media liaison for the Red Cross.

“All in all, they did pretty good,” Ersek said.

“They’re a little shaken up, but they’re fine.”

Milton said the cause of the fire is still being investigated, but he did say the fire “ran inside the walls” from the second f loor up to the attic. The house was built with balloon construction, he said, which means it contains void spaces.

The fire department shut down the power in the house, he said. It’s now up to the owner of the house to hire an electrician to make any necessary repairs before the power can be restored, Milton said.

Moulene was arraigned and held on $10,000 bail, police said.

Bronic Roberts, 18, a freshman in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, was arrested for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth and seventh degrees, and unlawful possession of marijuana on Sunday, police said. Detectives found drug paraphernalia, marijuana, oneeighth of an ounce of mushrooms and $1,000 in his room.

Police said Roberts admitted to selling Guppenberger’s friend mushrooms.

The two students have been suspended and removed from campus, Kevin Quinn, senior vice

president for public affairs, said in a statement.

“We take matters such as this seriously and have assisted the Syracuse Police Department in their investigation that led to these two drug-related arrests,” Quinn said in the statement.

When Department of Public Safety officers initially went to Roberts’ room in Brewster on Friday, Roberts was in Albany, N.Y., for a funeral. His roommate, Austin Tousaw, a freshman information management and technology major, said he returned to their split-double at about 5 p.m. to find officers searching the room thoroughly.

Officers then took Tousaw to DPS headquarters for questioning, he said.

The next day, a residence hall staff member called Tousaw and advised him not to stay in Brewster out of concern for his safety. The lock on Tousaw’s door had been changed. Given that Tousaw held the only key to the door, police feared Roberts would try to reach his roommate to enter their room.

“I wasn’t worried until they said don’t be in Brewster Hall,” Tousaw said. ‘The university definitely had me worried.”

Tousaw said he saw Roberts in the back of a DPS car when leaving Brewster on Sunday at about 3 p.m. This was the first time he had seen his roommate that weekend. nagorny@syr.edu @Nicki_Gorny

Wheel of

he single wheel of Maxwell Perrin’s unicycle presses firmly against the concrete steps in front of the Hall of Languages. He turns the bike-like contraption horizontally, parallel to the steps, and wrinkles his face in concentration.

The unicycle and its rider bounce sideways once, twice down the stairs until the tire loses its grip on one wet step and the pair tumbles to the ground.

Perrin gets up with a laugh and looks around sheepishly.

“I got too cocky,” he said, getting back up on the cycle and making his way back to the top of the stairs.

He cycles back down, perpendicularly this time, without missing a step.

Perrin is a junior civil engineering major, and he is a frequent beacon of the alternative sports scene around the Syracuse University campus.

He isn’t the only person on campus with a unicycle, noting he has met one or two others with a shared interest in riding, but he recognizes he is certainly the one who rides in public the most — the high-profile SU unicycle representative.

Perrin prefers to approach unicycling as a form of transportation, rather than a flashy sort of circus act. neighborhood to and from class every day, or cycling and juggling on the Quad, he is more than just a unicyclist. Perrin is a member of U100, gives tours across campus, participates in SU’s Engineers without Borders and is passionate about sustainability and social and environmental justice.

When he isn’t wheeling around on his monochromic vehicle, he enjoys camping, hiking, listening to his favorite band — The Cat Empire — or reading a good J.R.R. Tolkien novel.

He and his friends enjoy juggling,

and even gave some thought into forming a club on campus, though it is something that has yet to be officially put into effect.

But he is not a fan of the circus analogies he hears.

“I resent all of the affiliations between unicyclists and those who work in the circus,” Perrin said, referring to the amount of times passers-by have whistled the iconic circus theme as he wheeled past. “That’s one of my least favorite things.”

For Perrin, the unicycle doesn’t

need to be something associated with an act or doing tricks. It is enough on its own as a mode of transportation — something equal to the speed of running, but with the energy consumption of walking, Perrin said — or as a sport.

He admits, though, that his introduction to the unorthodox activity was in a somewhat flashy setting.

Perrin first became interested in the one-wheeled life after watching a unicyclist perform at the Great New York State Fair the summer before

‘Cups’ video soars on Internet Erik van Rheenen ASST. COPY EDITOR

The hardest part of going viral wasn’t learning the words to “Cups (When I’m Gone).” It wasn’t making an unlikely collaboration between a cappella group Otto Tunes and YouTubers Grace Doty and Kara Della Valle. It wasn’t convincing Doty to trek down from Eastchester, N.Y., or Della Valle from Canada.

It was getting the cup-flipping choreography down pat, which Syracuse University a cappella group Otto Tunes member Cormac Dennehy said was no easy feat. But what would a “Cups” video be without, well, cups?

“My girlfriend pounded it into my head the day before because she had done it at camp,” said the sophomore student in the Bandier Program for Music and the Entertainment Industries. “We did it a few times right before shooting the video.”

The video, which hit more than 70,000 views in just four days after it was uploaded to the social media site Saturday evening, was the brainchild of Matt Musacchio, a senior public relations major. Musacchio organized the video — bringing Della Valle, who he’s been managing since August, and Doty to SU to collaborate with Otto Tunes, an all-male group — as a part of his senior capstone project.

Musacchio settled on a cover of “Cups (When I’m Gone)” from jukebox musical “Pitch Perfect.” He thought the song fit the perfect formula of popularity and potential for virality.

The cover was posted on YouTube’s myISH channel, and though the channel boasts more than 180, 000 subscribers, Musacchio said he didn’t think it would take off as quickly as it did.

“It was like lightning in a bottle with the right song and the right performers,” he said.

Doty, who runs in the same circle of YouTube singers as Della Valle, said she learned the song in about five minutes, but it took at least 20 to memorize the choreography. Musacchio sent her a tutorial to help teach her the routine.

“I’ll usually learn a song in like five minutes before I film,” Doty said with a laugh. “We bonded by teaching some of the guys how to do it like two minutes before.”

Dennehy said it took between 15-30 takes of the two-minute song to collect all of the footage for the video. He also said it was the first time an Otto Tunes video has blown up online.

his sophomore year of high school. Perrin, who admits he was “always one to pick up random, strange things,” asked his parents for a unicycle the following Christmas. They obliged.

It took him until the next summer to actually commit to the sport and begin practicing. He took a liking to it before his junior year of high school.

He rode around on an $80 unicycle at first, until he was granted an upgrade for his high school graduation — a relatively high-end unicycle designed to be able to handle off-roading — in layman’s terms, a “mountain unicycle.”

His current unicycle has seen more than 100 miles on its durable tires, the longest distance in one shot being a 14-mile ride.

Perrin is aware the unicycle is a strange option, but he does forget from time to time, often leaving his house wondering why people across the street are giving him the once-over. But he gets a great deal of enjoyment out of riding.

For Perrin, there are really four main reasons for sticking with the unicycle.

that popular that quickly,” Dennehy said. “It was really exciting.”

Though Della Valle and Doty only met the men of Otto Tunes a few hours before performing, Doty said shooting the video didn’t feel like singing with a bunch of strangers.

“It felt like doing it with friends,” Doty said.

“I had never sung with an a cappella group before, and they were really talented.”

For Dennehy, shooting the video felt like a

The first is convenience. It is quick, but doesn’t require the same type of cardio as running. Plus, it provides a substantial core workout.

The second is the difficulty level that adds an element of fun to riding.

He compared it to alpine skiing.

“You get a rush of weaving in and out, going over bumps, it’s kind of thrilling,” Perrin said.

“I take a little bit of pride in being able to do something that most people can’t.”

Perrin noted that the act of cycling around was something often received positively by people around him. More often than not, people who see him pass walk away wearing a smile. It is something he says generally makes people happy.

But the final reason Perrin provided for his love of unicycling was an honest acknowledgement of the appeal of being recognizable. It makes him the go-to guy for all things unicycle and gives him something on campus to be seen as.

Said Perrin: “It’s nice to be famous for something. It’s cool to be that kid who rides a unicycle.” cedebais@syr.edu @CDeBaise124

typical Otto Tunes performance — just with a few females taking lead on the vocals. The group’s music director arranged Anna Kendrick’s version of the song for the group — a pretty easy task, since the song is highlighted in a comedy flick about a cappella singers.

With some friendly joking and plenty of cupflipping practice, Dennehy said the video shoot was as much fun as it was work.

Said Dennehy: “They’re both great girls. We gave Kara a hard time for being from Canada, but it was really fun getting to know them.” ervanrhe@syr.edu @TheRealVandyMan

Hard ciders, Lindsay Lohan share similar benefits, faults

By Dylan Sorensen

BEER BITES

STAFF WRITER

While on a trip to the gastroenterologist last week, I spent an absurd amount of time in the waiting room. I passed the time watching the HLN network “discuss” Lindsay Lohan’s latest decision to wait until Coachella ended before entering rehab.

Right then and there, I decided that I, too, needed a change of pace, and decided to stand in solidarity with my gluten-free amigos by drinking Woodchuck Hard Cider instead of beer.

I’m not accustomed to drinking cider, and after spending some time researching, I started to forget that I was not drinking beer. This resulted in a series of pleasant surprises that must have appeared to be supremely intelligent to observers.

The best part was that I woke up relatively hangover-free the next morning. Considering the high sugar content, this was a gift from the Great Drunkards in the Sky. May they smile down upon you, too, when you imbibe the nectar of the gluten-intolerant.

I picked up a variety pack from Tops Friendly Markets that contained four choices: Amber, Granny Smith, 802 Dark & Dry and Crisp. Crisp was included as the brewer’s choice and the other three are available year-round.

Despite calling itself a variety pack, I don’t think I could consistently pick out any of these ciders in a blind taste test.

Woodchuck’s three core ciders are described as “crisp and refreshing,” “smooth and refreshing” and “tart and refreshing.” These cider masters stretch their adjectives even further

by describing Amber as “crisp and refreshing” and then including a cider called Crisp. That’s a significant amount of overlap right from the get-go.

In general, Crisp is a major letdown. It tastes like all of Lindsay Lohan’s post-“Mean Girls” film credits without the fun of having a cocaine habit.

It’s only 3.2-percent alcohol by volume. I have limited bladder space, and that is just not worth my time. The three core ciders are all 5 percent alcohol by volume.

But I’m channeling my negative feelings toward this Lohan hatred because I don’t want to get too down on Woodchuck. The honest truth is that knocking back 10 of these is a great way to get drunk. . You could finish one in the amount of time it takes to change the channel after stumbling upon a showing of “Herbie: Fully Loaded” on basic cable.

Still, every time I got around to a bottle of Crisp, I would feel slightly unfulfilled. Just knowing there was that 1.8-percent alcohol by volume missing left a hole in my heart similar to the one from when my second-grade teacher had to get knee surgery and was replaced with a substitute for three months.

Scarring childhood events aside, occasionally, it’s going to be nice outside for the next couple of weeks. You could do a lot worse than picking up some of these — like auditioning to play guitar for Lindsay Lohan’s comeback tour next summer. djsorens@syr.edu

STAFF WRITER

was overjoyed upon finding out that Natur-Tyme — a “good for you” grocery store carrying mostly nutritious and organic products, located at 3160 E. Erie Blvd. — has a cafe inside of it.

Tyme-Out Café allows you to grocery shop and grab something to eat, all in one convenient location. And you can avoid the danger of grocery shopping while hungry, which causes an excessive amount of impulse-buying.

Upon arriving at Natur-Tyme, I was taken aback by the store’s size. Natur-Tyme’s Erie Boulevard location is relatively new — it relocated from Bridge Street in DeWitt last year for expansion purposes. Unlike most health and wellness stores, which are pretty compact, Natur-Tyme is almost the size of a regular grocery store.

The cafe, located to the right of the store’s entrance, has an ample amount of tables for customer seating. A sucker for complimentary things, I loved the free cucumber water you could pour at your leisure available at the counter.

The cafe serves smoothies, hot chocolate, gelato, shakes made with the gelato, coffee, soups and chili. The drinks are made on the premise, however the cashier explained the cafe does not have any cooking facilities.

The soups and chili are made by a woman living near Albany who makes small batches of each entrée, then ships them to Natur-Tyme a few days or so before they’re sold. Although the soup and stew ingredients aren’t all organic, they are local, which “is just as good,” the cashier said.

In celebration of the warm temperature on the day I visited, I ordered the Mocha Nirvana smoothie for $6.99 for a 16-ounce cup. The smoothie had chocolate milk, banana, raw cacao powder, flax seed, espresso and almond milk.

One of the best parts about most of the cafe’s smoothies is that you can choose what type of milk you want. They have everything from coconut milk to rice milk to half-and-half. For my smoothie, I chose the chocolate almond milk.

I liked the openness of the cafe. You can see the employees making your smoothie, snipping the wheatgrass for wheatgrass shots and preparing fresh-pressed juice.

It didn’t take too long for me to get my smoothie — only five minutes — but I was disappointed with its size. I expected a larger drink for the heftier price tag.

The consistency of the smoothie was good — not too icy, but not too liquid-y, either. I dislike it when a smoothie is too thick, but this one easily passed through the straw.

The chocolate and banana were muted, making the espresso the dominant flavor.

I would’ve liked the smoothie much more if they had used a shot of espresso instead of espresso granules, which provided an unpleasant texture. The granules where gritty, which was, well, kind of gross.

Overall, though, I enjoyed the smoothie.

It was refreshing and caffeinated, as the title suggested. I also appreciated being able to explore the store while sipping on my drink.

I liked the idea of the cafe more than I liked the cafe itself. Although the smoothie lacked flavor, I support the philosophy of Natur-Tyme and will be back because of that.

Any store whose mission is “to empower those we serve to take charge of their own health” can’t be bad in my book. rsgemper@syr.edu

Despite injury to star Tumolo, Orange rolls to rout of Cornell

By Josh Hyber STAFF WRITER

Minutes after blowing out Cornell, Syracuse’s contingent sat at the postgame press conference, subdued. The victory was overshadowed by the injury of one of the Orange’s best players.

No. 5 Syracuse (10-3, 5-0 Big East) defeated Cornell (7-5, 3-3 Ivy) 16-4 in front of 331 in the Carrier Dome on Tuesday, but the injury of team captain and star player Michelle Tumolo was on her teammates’ minds.

At the 18:38 mark of the first half, Tumolo went down around the 40-yard line near the SU bench. Play was stopped and Tumolo was down for about two minutes. The SU attack did not return to the game, and afterward was seen walking off of the field with a brace on her left knee using crutches, forcing freshman attack Kayla Treanor to step up in her absence.

SU head coach Gary Gait said Tumolo’s status is unknown.

“We’ll know more in the days to come,” he said. “We’ll get her looked at and find out what’s going on. I really haven’t talked about it to anybody yet. “… You never want to lose anybody and you’ve got to believe they’re OK. And at this point, I do.”

Treanor filled Tumolo’s void on the right side of the offense. Treanor, the team’s second leading goal-scorer, is familiar with the position.

With Tumolo suspended for the team’s season-

“I guess we’re all trying to stay positive and hope for the best.”

SU DEFENDER

opener against Jacksonville, Treanor scored five goals from the right side on Jan. 13.

“It’s really upsetting when a player goes down, especially a player like Michelle,” Treanor said. “But you’ve got to keep playing the game. There’s still time left on the clock.”

On Tuesday, Treanor rose to the occasion, scoring once before and three times after Tumolo left the game. A natural righty, Treanor played left-handed on Tuesday.

“Again, she steps up. (Treanor) plays just as well lefty as she does righty,” Gait said. “Just had to call on her a little bit more than we would have with Michelle in the game. The pressure was on and she handled it pretty well and had lots of good opportunities.”

SU’s offense flowed through Treanor and Devon Collins behind the cage. Collins played more directly behind the net, as opposed to her normal position on the left or atop the Syracuse offense. Treanor and Collins looked to create scoring opportunities for Kailah Kempney, Alyssa Murray and Katie Webster.

Collins and Kempney, who each scored two goals on the day, were also active with Tumolo out. Collins also had five shots, an assist, caused a turnover and drew a foul. Kempney had four shots and three assists.

With the Orange leading 4-0, Murray found Kempney on the right side of the net, who then passed across to Collins on the front-left doorstep. Collins scored to extend the lead to 5-0.

“Devon played great,” Gait said. “… She got a little bit more time today and put the ball away and did a great job stepping in, playing down low. She played that position last year and was very comfortable going back to it, so we feel good

FALLEN STAR

Michelle Tumolo’s injury is a major blow for Syracuse. One of the best players in the country, Tumolo helps power the Orange’s offense. She was a major reason for Syracuse’s ability to make it to the national championship game last season, and has been key for the Orange so far this year. Here’s a look at some of Tumolo’s best games this season: DATE

about her there.”

With the Orange up 5-2, Treanor threw a pass from behind the net to Collins, who was stopped from point-blank range. Moments later, Murray found Kempney, who had a clear path to the net.

But Kempney’s shot was stopped.

With just less than eight minutes left in the first half, Treanor had the ball in front of the cage on the right side. Looking left, she protected the ball with her back and spun right toward the goal. She beat the goaltender and extended the lead to 6-2.

On a quick turnover, Kempney ran down the field and found Treanor cutting down the seam for a goal, bringing the score to 7-2. Treanor also had a scoring chance before halftime, but her shot hit the post.

Two-plus minutes into the second half, Collins passed to a cutting Amy Cross from behind the net for SU’s 11th goal.

Erica Bodt, Linley Block and Kirkland Locey also scored goals in the second half as the Orange rode through the blowout despite Tumolo’s injury. But in the final stretch of the season before the Big East and NCAA tournaments, how much time Tumolo misses is a major concern.

At the end of the game, Becca Block walked off of the field with Tumolo and Loren Ziegler.

Said Block: “I guess we’re all trying to stay positive and hope for the best.”

Zonino limits SU; Statesmen claim coveted rivalry trophy

By Trevor Hass and David Wilson THE DAILY ORANGE

Hobart takes home trophy Alex Love hoisted the Kraus-Simmons Trophy high above his head, saluting the Hobart fans.

He finally won the trophy he’s coveted for three years, and the one that has defined Syracuse-Hobart since 1986.

Hobart completed a remarkable comeback over No. 3 Syracuse on Tuesday night, prevailing 13-12 and claiming the trophy for the first time since 2006.

“We talk about the trophy all the time in the locker room,” Love said. “It’s an amazing feeling to finally hold it up.”

Hobart is Syracuse’s oldest rival. The teams have faced each other 99 times. Syracuse leads the series 71-26-2 and has won 25 of the last 27 meetings.

The Orange has dominated Hobart lately, and Love knew he had to do everything possible to bring the trophy back to Geneva, N.Y. “On the bus, we were all just like, ‘Man, we need to bring this back to the house,’” Love said. “We want to celebrate it.”

He said he’s not sure where the trophy will sit exactly, but he’s guessing it’ll stay situated on coach Johnson’s desk until next year, when the teams face off again.

Hobart lost to Syracuse 13-12 last year and 13-7 the year before, so Love had never beaten the Orange heading into Tuesday’s game.

“Obviously, we knew coming into tonight this would be a challenge for us, as it is any time you play at the Carrier Dome,” Johnson said. “One of our keys to the game was playing fast, try to keep it simple and being fundamentally sound. I’m just really proud of our players for the way they competed for 60 minutes.”

Johnson said he was proud of his team for bouncing back after finding itself in a threegoal deficit with just 11 minutes left.

Hobart grinded out a gritty win and claimed the trophy it’s come close to many times, but hadn’t seized as of late.

Said Johnson: “Even when we got down a couple times, we talked about keeping our composure and just sticking to our system and hopefully things will turn for us, and they did in the last 11 minutes of the game.”

With 24 seconds remaining, Steve Ianzito charged into the offensive zone with one last hope for Syracuse. Trailing Hobart 13-12, the Orange needed a goal to force overtime. Peter Zonino would likely need to make his 18th save to prevent it.

With 18 seconds left, Ianzito fired a shot.

Just as he had done all day, Zonino got in the way. The Statesmen held on.

“The last shot was a lot of adrenaline,” Zonino said. “Just trying to get everything I had to stop the ball.”

Zonino snatched balls out of the air, kicked his legs in front of shots and sprawled around the crease to stifle the SU offense in Hobart’s stunning upset of No. 3 Syracuse in the Carrier Dome on Tuesday night. The Hobart goaltender tallied 18 saves in the victory, including five in the fourth quarter as the Statesmen staged their comeback.

Zonino started off hot, recording six saves in the opening period. With Hobart holding an early 1-0 lead, SU attack Kevin Rice found Derek Maltz all alone on the doorstep. But Zonino calmly slid over and denied the attack at the net.

“I thought their goalie was sensational, too,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “We haven’t seen him play like that this year. He played similar to that in our game last year.”

Zonino struggled in the Orange’s six-goal second period, but found his rhythm in the second half. It started on a shot from Luke Cometti. The midfielder tried to bounce a shot past Zonino in the opening minute of the third quarter, but Zonino kicked his leg out and knocked the ball away.

A minute later, Rice freed himself up along the crease and squared up to face the net, but again Zonino got in the way to keep SU’s lead at just three. A few minutes later, it was Henry Schoonmaker’s turn, but again Zonino sprawled in front of a shot that appeared destined for the back of the net.

“There are times where — as crazy as it sounds — more shots can almost be a good thing for a goalie, because you get into a rhythm,” Hobart head coach T.W. Johnson said. “When you get hot, it’s a little bit easier to stay in the zone.”

Zonino carried his rhythm throughout the remainder of the game, allowing just three goals in the final quarter and a half, and all three came from in close.

With Syracuse clinging to a one-goal lead with less than six minutes to play, Maltz fired a transition shot, hoping to give the Orange

some breathing room. But SU wasn’t set up, and Zonino lunged toward the sideline where the ball squirted out of bounds. He was the closest to the ball. Syracuse lost possession and the Statesmen went on to win.

“Second half, I got it going,” Zonino said, “started seeing the ball a little bit.”

Smothering SU defense shuts down potent Big Red offense

By Phil D’Abbraccio ASST. COPY EDITOR

Alyssa Murray wouldn’t back off. The official had to motion more than twice for Murray to take a step back and give Cat Thomas room for the restart by Cornell’s sideline, not far from the Big Red’s cage.

After Murray obliged, SYRACUSE 16 the whistle blew and the CORNELL 4 Syracuse attack mobbed Thomas. Murray knocked

the ball on the ground, picked it up and three quick passes later, the Orange capitalized on the takeaway with a goal.

“I think we were just really focused on stepping up our ride again,” Murray said. “It’s consistently gotten better throughout the season. And just as a team, we’re really doing well getting caused turnovers and being all over the ground balls.”

The Big Red committed 25 turnovers and could barely breathe against Syracuse’s suffocating defense as the No. 5 Orange (10-3, 5-0 Big East) prevailed 16-4 at the Carrier Dome on Tuesday afternoon. Cornell (7-5, 3-3 Ivy) struggled against SU’s high pressure, converting on just 59 percent of its clear attempts, well below the Big Red’s previous season average of 79.5 percent.

Syracuse subdued a Cornell offense that ranked best in the Ivy League with 12.5 goals per game, and cut the Big Red’s season average of 26.2 shots per game in half.

The Orange’s stifling ride established the tone in the game’s opening minutes. Six minutes passed before Cornell finally brought the ball past midfield, which came after the Orange had foiled the Big Red’s first three clear attempts and jumped out to a 3-0 lead.

@DOSPORTS

And just as Cornell registered its first clear, Syracuse’s Kasey Mock picked off of Amanda D’Amico’s pass before the Big Red could even set up its offense.

“We talked about – we always talk about – the first five minutes of the game, making a state-

“Sometimes, if you get a couple of caused turnovers off the ride, you just feed off of that and want more and more.”

SU AT TACK

ment by your effort level, by your execution and hustle,” Syracuse head coach Gary Gait said, “and our team’s been focused lately, and ready for those first five minutes. That’s what we hope we get every game out of them.”

Just more than two minutes after Mock’s interception, she forced another turnover, this time near the Orange’s net. Becca Block scooped up the ground ball and the speedy defender was gone.

Block led the transition opportunity past midfield, then dished to Murray who fed Katie Webster for a score and a 4-0 SU lead 10 minutes into the game. From there, the Orange took off.

“I thought that the ladies stepped up, played a very nice game, especially on the defensive end,” Gait said. “Riding extremely

well, causing multiple turnovers and multiple opportunities for the offense ... The defense, they were solid today.”

Murray caused a career-high four turnovers, all in the first half. By comparison, the junior only racked up six total in each of her first two seasons with the Orange. Murray said the Cornell defenders were rattled by SU’s ride and became nervous when handling the ball, falling even further into Syracuse’s pressure.

“Sometimes, if you get a couple of caused turnovers off the ride, you just feed off of that and want more and more,” Murray said.

The Orange’s defense, Gait said, was the more dominant unit in the blowout. Fifteen turnovers by Cornell and just four shot attempts in the first half helped Syracuse build a 9-2 lead going into the break.

SU’s defense was nearly flawless in its sliding and rotating, collapsing hard in the middle and closing any potential openings. The Big Red didn’t fire a shot on goal until almost 12 minutes in, and didn’t find the back of the net for another five and a half minutes.

The strong defensive effort, which led to the Orange’s fewest goals allowed in more than a month, never gave the Big Red a chance to upset its Central New York rival.

“I mean, when they score four goals, you know you did something right, I guess,” Block said with a laugh. “I think it really started with our attack on the ride, because they didn’t have that many opportunities and we just set the tone early.” pmdabbra@syr.edu @PhilDAbb

Alex Love

FROM PAGE 20

Syracuse players stunned on the sidelines, and paved the way for the uproar an hour later that put a bow on the remarkable comeback.

On the final goal, SU’s Drew Jenkins inadvertently pushed the ball in Love’s direction.

Love knew he had to act quickly, so he scooped the ball from right to left to clear space.

Love torched Syracuse all game with his left hand, side-arming the ball underneath Brian Megill and scoring from all around the field.

He prematurely fired what he called a “horrible shot” on the previous possession, and said that shot was in his head.

“I was like ‘Oh, I should probably pull this out,’” Love said, “and then the kid backed in a little bit so I was like ‘Uh, it might be time.’ So I let it go and it went in.”

Love recognized the Hobart faithful by sprinting toward the sideline and launching an imaginary arrow their way.

But Syracuse wasn’t done. Steve Ianzito had one last chance. He sprinted down the field as the milliseconds dwindled and the Orange’s fate became imminent.

Hobart goalie Peter Zonino, who finished with 18 saves, made his most critical save with 18 seconds left. Ianzito immediately fell to the ground, face-planting into the turf in disbelief.

“It’s a big game for our school — well, maybe not for Syracuse, but for us, at least.”

Alex Love

HOBART AT TACK

From there, Hobart ran out the clock and completed the upset.

Love’s six-goal outburst matched a careerhigh and gave him Hobart’s all-time singleseason record with 42 goals.

He torched Syracuse the year before with four goals, but was unable to come away with the win. Syracuse head coach John Desko said he expected a close game from Hobart, despite the team’s sub-.500 record.

“He did last year, too,” Desko said. “We had a really good lead early and they came roaring back once again. They don’t quit and it’s a Hobart-Syracuse game. The guys know each

The junior attack scored six goals from 12 shots. He added an assist for good measure and netted the game-winner with 2:13 remaining. Stopping the Statesmen’s leading scorer was always unlikely, but on Tuesday night, containing him proved impossible, too.

Hobart’s faceoff men

Charles Sipe lost 2-of-13 and Gryphin Kelly took 7-of-16 at the faceoff X, allowing Cal Paduda to help lead the Orange to 20-of-29 draw controls. Consequently, SU dominated possession for most of the game, keeping Hobart chasing until the very end.

Syracuse’s fourth quarter

It is a rivalry game and SU was playing on tired legs. But the Orange is also the better team, and with a two-goal lead with 15 minutes to play, one would expect Syracuse to see the game out. Instead, it lost the period 5-2. other and it’s right down the road, so we expect this kind of game every year from them.”

Love’s lefty, side-arm shot was too sly for Megill to handle. With two minutes left in the second quarter, Love snuck one inches below Megill’s stick and past SU goalie Dominic Lamolinara. One minute later, he scored on a pass from Jake McHenry right outside of the crease.

“He’s got a great shot,” Megill said. “He’s really good at getting his left hand open. He had a couple nice rips from up top on man-up and then one in transition and a couple times he got me on that rocker.”

Love stole the show Tuesday night with four in the second and two in the fourth. And after two goals from Derek Akner and one from Cam Stone, the game was tied.

Just eight seconds after Akner’s second goal, Love delivered for the final time.

And when the comeback was finally complete, Love sprinted to his teammates and chestbumped with teammate Ryan Munnelly. He let out a massive scream, just like the team did an hour later, still in bliss.

Said Love: “It’s a big game for our school — well, maybe not for Syracuse, but for us, at least.” tbhass@syr.edu @TrevorHass

@DAILYORANGE

It allowed Syracuse to reel off four straight goals and surge to an 8-4 lead late in the first half.

Paduda won 8-of-11 faceoffs in the second quarter, including 3-of-4 during the Orange’s 4-0 run.

“Hats off to him. He dominated,” said Hobart midfielder Charles Sipe, who went a paltry 2-for-13 at the X. “We didn’t have any film on him. We were scouting (Brendan Conroy and Chris Daddio), so they kind of threw us a curveball there.”

Paduda arrived at SU hoping to become the solution to the problem that so frequently plagued Syracuse. He spent a gap year training with Long Island Lizards faceoff specialist Peter Vlahakis of Major League Lacrosse to shore up his ability at the X. He wasn’t able to overcome Daddio on the depth chart early in the season, but as the junior has struggled, Paduda has carved out a role. He kept the Orange in the game against RU, then essentially ran Kelly from Tuesday’s game — the same Kelly who won 14-of-21 at the X in the Statesmen’s previous game, a win over then-No. 20 Bellarmine.

But Paduda deflected all individual credit after the game, instead crediting SU’s stable of capable faceoff men.

“We have four really good faceoff guys,” Paduda said. “Brendan Conroy, Elliott Burr and Chris Daddio — we all challenge each other every day in practice, so it creates a really healthy environment for us to grow and get better at the X. So today was an accumulation of all of our efforts.”

Even as Syracuse was unraveling in the

fourth quarter, Paduda did all he could.

After Hobart midfielder Derek Akner scored to even the score at 12 with 2:21 remaining, Paduda settled in at the X to face Kelly. Paduda knocked the ball backward to the edge of the Orange’s defensive zone, where Drew Jenkins sat all alone. But the SU midfielder botched the ground ball and Hobart attack Alex Love came away with the possession to fire the game-winner past Syracuse goaltender Dominic Lamolinara.

Paduda won the next faceoff, but the Orange couldn’t capitalize. For the day, Paduda’s career effort was squandered, but he’s given SU a long-term revelation.

“We’ll sit down and watch film and look at the Georgetown guys and see what they do and see which is the best way to counter it,” Desko said, “but no reason not to go.” dbwilson@syr.edu @DBWilson2

Hobart attack keys stunning upset over SU

ASST. COPY EDITOR

he Carrier Dome was nearly empty one hour after the game, except for the Hobart players and fans.

At 10 p.m., a booming “Woo!” echoed across the Dome. Four minutes later, the excitement bubbled once again and the cheering intensified. Three minutes later, it grew even louder, finally stopping at 10:10 p.m.

Hobart (6-6, 2-3 Eastern College Athletic) had every reason to celebrate. It staged a stunning comeback over heavily favored No. 3 Syracuse (9-3, 3-1 Big East) an hour earlier, beating the Orange 13-12 in front of 2,362 at the Dome. Alex Love scored six goals for the Statesmen, setting the team’s single-season scoring record and leading his team to a victory it’s coveted for years.

“I know when we play Syracuse, we always get a lot of fans,” Love said.

Hobart’s comeback attempt against Syracuse came up one goal short last season. The Statesmen trailed 12-9 with 11:17 remaining.

They scored three of the next four goals, but failed to capture the game-winner.

This year, the situation was similar. Down 12-9 with 11:36 to go, Hobart stormed back once again. This time, though, they sealed the deal.

Love’s game-winner with 2:13 remaining gave Hobart its first win over SU since 2006 and its third win over SU in the last 27 years. It left

Paduda dominates at X, gives Orange chance at victory

By David Wilson ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

Cal Paduda gave Syracuse every chance possible. For once, the Orange had a distinct advantage at the faceoff X. Paduda, the freshman who barely saw action prior to Saturday, was absolutely dominant at the X in Tuesday’s loss to Hobart.

SU may have fallen 13-12, but at least one long-standing question

“Some of it’s a matchup thing,” SU head coach John Desko said. “I think Cal’s been doing a great job for us, especially in the game tonight.”

Paduda won 20-of-28 faceoffs he took Tuesday night as the No. 3 Orange (9-3, 3-1 Big East) won 20-of-29 as a team. For the fourth time this season, Syracuse won the majority of the faceoffs. Paduda had played just

five games all season, and more than doubled his total faceoff wins on this night alone.

From the opening whistle, Paduda set the tone. He tied up Hobart (6-6, 2-3 Eastern College Athletic) midfielder Gryphin Kelly at the X for nearly 10 seconds on the opening draw before winning the faceoff to himself.

Three days earlier, in a win over Rutgers, Paduda won just six

faceoffs, but frequently tied up the Scarlet Knights’ faceoff men at the X to create 50-50 opportunities. On Tuesday, he created consistent wins.

“Last game, he did a good job of mucking it up on the faceoff and turned a few of them into ground balls and didn’t get anything out the front,” Desko said, “and tonight, I just thought he did a good job in all ways.”
