he fatalities from opioid overdose in Onondaga County exceeded state and national averages between 2012 and 2016, a new online tool shows, though data also indicates that the opioid overdose rate in 2018 so far has decreased since 2017. At a rate of 22.6 people per 100,000, the mortality rate from opioid overdose in Onondaga County between 2012 and 2016 exceeds the mortality rate in New York state, which was 14.8, and the national rate, which was 22.5. Opioids are pain-reducing medications that include prescription and illegal drugs, like oxycontin, hydrocodone and heroin. Monika Taylor, director of behavioral health at Crouse Hospital said the hospital offers inpatient and outpatient drug treatment programs. The inpatient facility offers gender specific treatment for both men and women 18 years old and over, she said. Taylor said Crouse’s outpatient program has about 760 patients from a variety of demographic backgrounds. The patients range from 18 to 70 years old, and the majority of patients are white, she said. The outpatient rehabilitation program in Crouse Hospital has several levels of care. Some patients go in for therapy and vocational support four or five days a week.

There was a list of more than 400 people who waited 14 to 16 months to get into treatment in previous years, she said. In addition to Crouse, Ross Sullivan, director of the Opioid Bridge Clinic at SUNY Upstate Medical University, said the clinic has seen about 500 people in the past two and a half years. Seventy-five to 80 percent of those patients were linked to more treatment after their initial clinic treatment, he said. Sullivan, who started the clinic, said many people who started in the emergency department after an overdose or withdrawal have come back to see him and are still sober two

to three years later. “To really be able to see somebody change their life and become healthy, whether it be a productive member of society or productive family member or friend, it’s really the most rewarding thing,” Sullivan said. Taylor said prescription drug drop-off centers are stationed in different police departments throughout the community. The centers act as incentives to encourage people to discard unused medication, she said. Mariah Senecal-Reilly, Onondaga County Health Department program director, said see opioids page 4

SU kicks off 2nd Boost the ‘Cuse fundraiser By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

Syracuse University will launch its second 24-hour fundraiser on Thursday with a goal of having at least 5,000 people donate money to the university. Boost the ‘Cuse is an all-day fundraiser in which alumni, parents, students and other members of the SU community are encouraged via digital mediums, such as email and Twitter, to donate to the school. This year, the goal is for 5,000 individual donors to give any sum of money, anytime on Thursday. In 2017, the inaugural 24-hour

fundraiser raised more than $1,765,000. About half of the donors were alumni, about 20 percent were faculty and about 20 percent were parents, students, board members and “friends.” The goal for the fundraiser last year was getting 1,870 donors, based on the founding year of SU. Just under 4,000 people donated to the school in 2017, exceeding the university’s goal by more than double, said David Wishart, assistant vice president for philanthropic engagement. “My focus has been on getting to that donor number,” Wishart said. “I just hope it’s a day that

people enjoy the opportunity to give back to the university, enjoy the opportunity to provide the students with more resources, enhance the student experience.” The day is meant to bring the campus together and give a sense of community to people who are donating money, Wishart said. Kim Infanti, executive director of digital engagement and communications for the Office of Alumni Engagement, said the university intends to use social media as a way for the community to be more aware of Boost the ‘Cuse. Wishart said many choose to handle their philanthropy and gift-

giving privately, either through oneon-one conversations or by mail. “The Boost the ‘Cuse activity and crowdfunding initiatives in general are opportunities for those who want to give with a big sense of community, to participate in the day,” Wishart said. There will be snacks on the Quad, Snapchat filters, selfies with Vice President and Chief Facilities Officer Pete Sala and a hashtag, #BoostCuse, to increase engagement around campus, Infanti added. She said she thinks more than 5,000 donors will donate during the fundraiser. “We’re really trying to make this see fundraiser page 4

Coffee shops respond to straw ban By Colleen Ferguson asst. news editor

As coffee chains like Starbucks phase out plastic straws and start nationwide conversations about plastic use, Syracuse coffee shops are implementing other sustainable practices. Starbucks announced in July that plastic straws would no longer be used at any location by 2020, and instead the chain will use strawless lids and straws made from other materials. Though owners and operators at local cafes like Salt City Coffee, Recess Coffee and Cafe Kubal said straw conversations have started at their shops since the Starbucks announcement, they’re looking first to practices like composting and recycling to reduce their environmental impact. Salt City, located in a building from the 1860s on West Onondaga Street, opened in March 2017. Despite not having the profit margins of a chain like Starbucks, owner Aaron Metthe said one of the shop’s goals has been to consider its environmental responsibility and remain “viable.” Last year, Salt City partnered with Brady Faith Center, a religious and community organization on South Avenue, to compost their coffee grounds, Metthe said. The shop saved the used grounds, and Brady Faith used them as fertilizer for its urban farm project. “We’re trying to think through what can we do that makes sense for us,” he said. Salt City is looking at alternatives to straws, a conversation that started when Starbucks made their announcement, Metthe said. The shop is planning to experiment with alternatives such as paper straws in the future, he added. Beyond straws, Salt City is also trying to be more mindful of paper product usage and recently made the switch to LED lighting. “(With) how small we are, we think to ourselves there’s no way this is actually going to make a difference,” he said. “Starbucks yes, us no.” Cafe Kubal also pushes compost and the reduction of plastic straw use, said Rachael Smith, cafe manager of the Marriott Syracuse Downtown location. The Eastwood, Golisano Children’s Hospital and South Salina Street locations of Cafe Kubal all compost, Smith said. The South Salina location composts about 56 gallons of coffee grounds a week. Smith added that Cafe Kubal puts see straws page 4

The jury awarded Grant and his wife more than $1.5 million. The city issued a statement saying they still stand by the officers’ actions. Onondaga County’s District Attorney William Fitzpatrick and the Citizen Review Board have both found that the officers shouldn’t have arrested Grant.

Bird Library hosts disability cultural exhibit By Richard J Chang contributing writer

Syracuse University Libraries is hosting an annual book exhibit celebrating disability identities and cultures throughout October, which is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The display is on the first floor of Bird Library, outside the Peter Graham Scholarly Commons. The Disability Cultural Center, Disability Student Union and disability studies program all coordinated the exhibit. The organizers of the groups said they hope to get people thinking about disability history, culture and

arts on campus through print and digital media. “Disability matters,� said DCC director Diane Wiener. “The world wouldn’t be the same without the contributions of disabled scientists, teachers and artists. We have a huge array of people in the disability rights movement and disability cultures.� Wiener said the DCC is a supportive, educational and cultural resource, as well as an organization that advocates for disability rights. The DCC works with academic departments, the Office of Equal Opportunity, Inclusion, and Resolution Services and cultural centers on campus. The center listens to stories

PanGEA to organize student innovation contest By Sajida Ayyup staff writer

The Pan Global Entrepreneurs Association, which aims to bridge the gap between international and domestic students at Syracuse University, will host its first innovation competition next month. PanGEA will launch its Pan Global Challenge to celebrate Global Entrepreneurship Week from Nov. 12 to 18. The kick-off event will take place on Nov. 14 at 4 p.m. in Bird Library. The club, which was founded by current SU student Don Hyeok Lee and former SU student Lawrence Lin, is made up of about 20 students from the United States,

Korea and China. The two international students said they created PanGEA because they saw a lack of interaction between international and domestic students. Increased collaboration between these groups could lead to more opportunities and better project outcomes, Lee said. About 4,000 international students from more than 120 countries attend SU. “There is really no communication between international students and domestic students,� Lee said. “We thought that was very problematic in terms of the whole campus. To make people understand that this is really a problem and to really solve this problem, that was the hardest and is

still our challenge.� Lee added that the creation of PanGEA, which is not yet a registered student organization, was due in part to his experiences in his introduction to entrepreneurship and emerging enterprises class. Lee said he felt the need to change how competitions are designed after participating in a EEE competition. The main focus of the competition was supposed to be about the content of the ideas, but Lee said it seemed to focus more on how well each student pitched their ideas. Lee’s professor, Linda Hartsock, said he said something very compelling to the judges: “If I was on stage in Korea, pitching this in my native language, I would

walk off a winner.� Hartsock is also the executive director of the Blackstone LaunchPad, an innovation hub for budding entrepreneurs that’s located in Bird Library. The LaunchPad provides mentorship to PanGEA. Nearly 3,000 students from 91 different countries are part of the LaunchPad currently, Hartsock said. Lee, originally from South Korea, has been in Syracuse since 2012 and is a senior industrial and interaction design major. Co-creator Lin, who graduated last May with a dual degree in international relations and political science, is back in China, but remains active with PanGEA.

opioids the department has been working with the Onondaga County Drug Task Force to increase access to treatment. Treatment can include naloxone, a medication that reverses an opioid overdose, or medical providers who are able to do medication-assisted treatment. Senecal-Reilly said the health department provides and trains for the use of naloxone. In early December, it will begin providing the drug to community and government agencies. “Our goal is to flood the community with naloxone so that every business has a kit,” she said. “If there’s an occurrence where there’s an overdose, there’s the possibility to reverse it.” Between January and March, the number of opioid overdoses in Onondaga County was lower than during the same period in 2017, according to data from the New York State Department of Health. Experts attributed the drop to expanded prevention efforts and increased awareness in the community. But they added that there isn’t a concrete trend yet, and more work remains to be done in treating and preventing addiction. Data from 2017 shows that national drug overdose mortality increased dramatically from 2016 and 2015. Senecal-Reilly said one year isn’t enough to call the data a trend, but in general, removfrom page 3

competition English as their first language, Lee said, it can be difficult to properly execute a pitch. “I felt really bad it was solely designed for students who have English as their first language,” he said. “(It) felt kind of unfair in a way.” The Pan Global Challenge is meant to encourage different forms of deliverables, which is a project for a customer. Deliverables could take the form of a report, document, software product, server upgrade or any other building block of an overall project. At the event, PanGEA organizers prompt

ing stigmas surrounding drug addiction can encourage people to seek treatment. Michael Meit, co-director of the NORC Walsh Center for Rural Health Analysis, an independent research institution at the University of Chicago, led the development for the tool with a team of researchers. He said that there are areas that stand out across the country, like northern California, Oklahoma, southeastern Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The National Opioid Misuse Community Assessment tool, developed by NORC in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, compares county-level overdoses to state and federal rates. The country only recently learned just how addictive opioids are, and many addicts “fell into a trap,” Meit said. He said the spikes in overdose deaths are linked to fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is stronger than heroin. Meit added that the high cost of Narcan — a brand name of naloxone — is a barrier to combating opioid overdose. Narcan costs about $130 to $140 for a kit with one to two doses, but overdose reversal may require several doses, according to Time. Evzio, another naloxone brand, costs about $4,500 per kit, according to Wired. New data will be released in December and will be incorporated in the tool, Meit said. “I do not think we have seen the peak yet,” Meit said. crespina@syr.edu

Croy spends time helping individuals start their organization. “Given the nature of what it means to be a business leader in the 21st century, to have an organization like PanGEA that is actively working to break down the barriers between visitors to the United States and citizens of the United States is incredibly impactful,” he said. skkunjum@syr.edu

The cafe recently decided to make it clearer to customers that the lids can be used for both hot and cold drinks, she added. While plastic straws are still available next to the black lids, a display is up at the various cafes to indicate that strawless lids can be used on any cup. Smith said that there hasn’t been recent discussion about eliminating straws from the stores entirely, but it may arise before next summer when iced drinks are most popular. “We’re always kind of striving for slightly more sustainable options for our customers,” she said.

Recess Coffee, in the University Hill area, is looking mostly at reusable options for now, said co-owner Adam Williams. Recess sells metal straws for $3. Williams said the reaction to those so far has been positive, adding that customers seem to be “working hard” to reuse the metal straws once they buy them. Recess orders highly-graded coffee, which typically equates to more sustainable sourcing and processing practices, Williams said. The Starbucks announcement didn’t change how they do their business, he said, but it did bring their attention to the strawless lid model. “I think you’re going to see a lot of people, us included, going more towards that model of the strawless cold lid,” Williams said. cefergus@syr.edu | @ColleenEFergus2

Next semester, DSU plans to host Disabilifunk, an open karaoke event meant to be a fun social event and a bonding space for students. “Many social events are not ‘meant’ for us,” Penner said. “They’re created with other people in mind. A lot of the accommodation and access needs just aren’t being met, because they’re not thought of.” rjchang@syr.edu

alumni are encouraged to give to any fund, school or college that they choose. “Students haven’t quite understood that the building that they’re taking classes in potentially is thanks to an alum’s support, the scholarship that they have to be at Syracuse is thanks to an alum’s support,” Infanti said. ccleffer@syr.edu | @ccleffert

Schumer isn’t fit to lead Democrats

NYPIRG’s advocacy is commendable

T

he Democratic Party needs to move on from the leadership of United States Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). The election of President Donald Trump kindled a chaotic political scene. Moving forward, Senate Democrats need a leader willing to do whatever it takes to reverse the damage Republicans have caused in the past two years alongside Trump. Schumer is not that leader. Republicans have been playing hardball, and the response from the Democratic Party has been to fight fire with civility. Andres Victoria, president of Syracuse University’s College Democrats group, agrees. “I don’t think we should be playing dirty, I don’t think we should stoop to their level,� Victoria said. “We need to be better than that.�

NICK TURNER

ALL POLITICS ARE HOPEFUL But the past two years have seen the country deteriorate. Schumer was recently asked about reinstating the 60-vote threshold for Supreme Court nominees, if Democrats were to take control of the Senate. The 51-vote threshold was established for Supreme Court nominees in 2017, and the Republican Party used the rule to confirm Justice Neil Gorsuch and Justice Brett Kavanaugh. When asked by the Washington Examiner whether he would restore the previous threshold, Schumer said he would have to “look at it.� Schumer isn’t right for the future. He’s not willing to do whatever it takes to reinstate the values of the Democratic Party.

Recently, Schumer made a deal with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to allow Senate Democrats to campaign for the upcoming elections. That seemed like a win, until Senate Republicans confirmed 15 federal judges to lifetime appointments. Like clockwork, the Republicans used the recess agreement to a significant advantage. The leader for the future Democratic Party needs to play hardball. And yes, they may have to utilize some of the same exact tactics used by the Republican Party and McConnell. Schumer has committed his life to public service, but he is simply not the Senate leader Democrats need.

arlier this month, scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were asked to compile a report on the specific impacts of a 1.5 degree Celsius global warming. That’s only 0.5 degrees more than how much the Earth has warmed already. Considering the detrimental effects predicted beyond the 1.5 mark, the phrase “1.5 to stay alive� has been coined as a new slogan for environmental change. With an administration at the White House that seems to be doing its best to work to promote action against the good of the planet, motivated individuals and community members have started to take the responsibility of the Earth’s welfare into their own hands.

We must begin an immediate transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy. Ethan Thompson nypirg project coordinator

Ethan Thompson, the New York Public Interest Research Group’s project coordinator at Syracuse University and SUNYESF, said in an email that in order to avoid the worst effects of climate change, “we must begin an immediate transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy.� That means “cutting ties to dirty and dangerous power sources of the 20th century,� he said. To protest the state’s looming proposals for hundreds of miles of new pipeline, natural gas power plants and gas storage facilities, NYPIRG called upon

BE KEEN AND GO GREEN students and community members to rally together to take down a poisonous industry. “Students have been hosting call in drives to Gov. (Andrew) Cuomo’s office each week in opposition to new proposals such as the CPV Power plant in Orange County, NY or the new proposal for the Cayuga Power Plant,� Thompson said. It’s tempting to leave the work of environmental activism to those who seem to have it under control. But acting as a bystander is not something that can be afforded to residents of a disenfranchised community such as Syracuse, where effects of climate change tend to hit the hardest. There is a long history of powerful institutions taking advantage of the defenseless, and the issue of global warming isn’t an exception. If and when the Earth does warm beyond the 1.5 degree Celsius point, it will be the impoverished and, most likely, innocent communities left to pay for the damage. As people who are in the position to enact change, it’s our responsibility to act for those who don’t have the same opportunities. One of the easiest and most immediate ways we can begin to prompt change is in the upcoming congressional midterm elections. For the sake of the planet and its people, it’s important that the environmental policies of each candidate be considered carefully.

f you’re still scrambling to perfect your Family Weekend itinerary, here are five parent-approved events to add to your list.

“Christopher Robin” screening

When: Oct. 25, 26 and 27 at 8 p.m., doors open at 7:30 p.m. Where: HBC Gifford Auditorium University Union will host a screening of Disney’s “Christopher Robin” this weekend as part of its fall movie screenings. The movie tells the story of now-grown Christopher Robin, when he gets a visit from his friend Winnie the Pooh. Sarah Goldberg, UU’s cinemas director, said the organization chose to screen “Christopher Robin” during Family Weekend because of the film’s family-friendly nature. “It seemed like it would be a movie that parents and children would enjoy,” Goldberg said. “With parents, it has the nostalgia factor of growing up with Winnie the Pooh … It has the ideas and the themes of wanting to go back to your youth.” The screening is free for students and the general public. Closed captioning will be provided on Saturday night.

Syracuse Spooktacular

ach year in October, Syracuse University hosts its annual Family Weekend. The three-day event is filled with bonding activities, family dinners and some much needed downtime for students. But if your parents can’t make it to the Hill this weekend, here are a few places to practice some self-care or work out in the wake of midterm season. For the last two weeks, students have been slammed with midterms. So instead of sulking in your bedroom, go out and indulge in some self-care while your friends are out with their families.

malone her ankle tight with white medical tape. To win, they would need to take the top three spots, he thought. Malone’s two sisters, Mary and Margo, were pegged one and two. Malone would need to get third. About a mile into the race, Malone’s wrapped-up foot twisted horizontally. She kept pointing to her foot, but Wilkie pleaded with her to continue, stressing the importance of the race. With 500 meters left, Malone hovered in fifth place. Wanting to clinch the race, Malone brushed past one North Allegheny runner. And on the straight-away, she hobbled past now-teammate at SU Madeleine Davison at the finish line to pull into third. Davison, in shock, dropped to the ground in tears. “Are you OK, Shannon?� Margo remembered saying to her after she finished. “I think I broke my foot,� Malone said, smiling as she tried to catch her breath, “but I’m pretty sure we won.� Malone lost the rest of her season. A couple of days later, she went on a recruiting trip to Syracuse, staggering around Manley Field House with a boot on her foot. The limp distracted her from her visit, leaving a “bad taste in her mouth,� her father, Paul, said. She opted to go elsewhere, choosing to run at Virginia. But her injuries worsened in her first two years. She battled with a sore sacrum, a triangular bone in the lower back, and struggled in her redshirt season. After running in the NCAA championships, she called Margo and asked about transferring to run with her and Mary. Then-head coach Chris Fox bought into the idea, and Malone joined her sisters on the SU roster. She sat out her first year due to NCAA transfer rules and, with no race in sight, kept running daily. She thought the change of scenery would help her, but the injuries didn’t stop. At her “darkest time,� she said she questioned her commitment to running. She called Paul and her mother, Madeline, who would support whatever decision she would make. Margo and Mary said the same. But she sat down with then-assistant coach Adam Smith, and the two talked about what it would take for her to return. After, she decided she was going “all in.� “I really didn’t know what to do. I was back-and-forth,� Malone said. “But staying at this meant being consistent — not necessarily having the highest mileage, but slowly doing the work.� So, Malone slowed down. She took her time running, and when she felt discomfort, she didn’t test it like before. Her penchant to push through didn’t persist, but for the first time in from page 12

balance Orange’s post game meal oftentimes includes containers of fruit. “We do still need to get reps in practice, and it’s all about management,� Little said. “I think they’ve learned how to balance the lifestyle of being a student-athlete.� During the second half of ACC play, the Orange will spend a lot of time on in-game situations, searching for how they “click� together, Little said. At this point in the season, it’s expected that all of the basic skills are proficient. Now that SU’s figuring out, Little said, “can we use that skill?� On offense, the serve needs consistency. Little said the ratio of service errors to aces should be 1-to-1. Syracuse holds nearly a 2-to-1 ratio, though, with 151 service errors compared to 78 aces. Little called the serving “hit or miss.� On Sunday, the Orange had six aces, their second most of the season. They also had five service errors. Even though Yelin wants to keep the number down, he understands that SU can’t lay off the aggressive serve in fear of errors. “It was inconsistent,� Yelin said after the win over NC State. “We should be more consistent on the tough serve. We have to risk, but (it’s) different because there’s a stupid risk and a smart risk.� For the Orange to achieve their goal of playing in the NCAA tournament when December rolls around, they need to find the right balance between improving and resting their injured players. It involves a lot of athletic tape, rest, healthy

her career, the development came organically. A 2017 Syracuse campaign highlighted by Paige Stoner’s record-breaking final season overshadowed Malone’s first “breakout year,� Fox said last November. Before, Malone’s other appearances in national races were based on her team’s success. With SU not guaranteed a spot at NCAA Championships in 2017, Malone, like in high school, needed to place in the top three. New Hampshire’s Elinor Purrier and Stoner were locked for the top two spots, and the last automatic qualifier was wide-open. Malone jumped from the meet’s third pack to the first midway through the 6-kilometer race and held her own with Purrier and Stoner until they advanced further. But in the final stretch, Malone wasn’t outkicked by two trailing Providence runners. “It was exhilarating to watch something you knew she had the potential to do,� Paul said. “But each year something would keep her from having an opportunity.� On a muddy day at nationals in Louisville, Kentucky, Malone’s legs caught up to her, Paul said, and she didn’t run to her standards. A weak Malone battled to 73rd, 33 spots from All-American honors. This season was supposed to be Malone’s year to step up. Before, during practices, she let runners like Davison and Laura Dickinson go at their own pace. After they slowed, head coach Brien Bell told Malone to “fly off� and finish at her own pace, Davison said. A healthy Malone could’ve mimicked the dominance Stoner had on the team, but she was hurt. Usually lively, but with a pending MRI to tell her fate, she spent those two days blank-faced, Mary said. Every plea from Mary to console her was shot down. Malone didn’t want to worry her family and kept quiet to her friends. She didn’t want them to know how bad it could be. In September, Malone isolated herself from the sport for three weeks. Malone’s hip had no structural damage, but she ran less. She grappled with not trying to rush her recovery while itching to return back. Bell kept telling her to “rest it, not test it.� Slowly, she recovered with underwater treadmills and recumbent bikes. Her pain was still there, she said, but the cross-training kept her mind off of it. Soon, her limp blossomed to a fluid running motion. By the beginning of November, Malone said she believes she’ll be back to her top speed. In previous years, she had more years of eligibility to “live up to her talent,� Paul said. Coming off a season with some of her fastest times, Malone’s injury bug almost finished the same way it started: ending another season. But this time, she’s back. “I have more belief in myself,� Malone said. “And now this is it.� kjedelma@syr.edu | @KJEdelman

After years of repeated injuries, Shannon Malone finishes sixth season By KJ Edelman

hannon Malone couldn’t believe it was happening again. The weekend before her redshirt senior season debut at the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational, her stride became a hobble. She felt a weird tweak. Malone thought back to the minor hip issues she had that spring. And a sacrum injury from her junior year. And the problems with both of her feet. For 48 hours, she didn’t know if she would lose her sixth and final cross country season to another injury — she couldn’t waste another year because this time there wouldn’t be another. “I got irrationally scared,� Malone said. “Like oh my gosh, my whole leg is broken in half. Not again.� With a minor diagnosis, Malone shuffled back into her top spot in front of SU’s pack a month later. She eyed a return, but with her history of injuries, Malone

couldn’t rush back like before. She trusted the depth of No. 25 Syracuse but knew her skills could be a “secret weapon� for a team eyeing the NCAA Championships. Recovering from injuries has set her back her entire career, but this season Malone developed back to form through careful consideration of her body’s limitations. Now, near 100 percent, Malone will debut on Friday at the ACC Championships in Boston, trying to emulate the speed that almost propelled her to All-American honors the season prior. “I’ve gotten a lot smarter in that I need to stop,� Malone said. “Although that seems like the tough thing to do, it’s a lot harder.� The spiral began seven years ago. Before the biggest meet of her high school career against North Allegheny (Pa.) High School, Malone, a then-junior at North Hills (Pa.) High School, was nursing a foot injury. She hid her pain from then-head coach John Wilkie, tying see malone page 10

Norheim efficent in 2nd season Balancing practice, recovery are keys for SU By Nick Alvarez staff writer

After Syracuse’s 3-0 win against Ohio State on Oct. 8, SU head coach Ian McIntyre worried about his team’s fitness. SU had just won its third-straight game in seven days, its best stretch of the season, yet McIntyre noticed tired legs in the second half. McIntyre grew a little concerned when he analyzed Sondre Norheim, his “barometer� of team stamina. Coaches have called Norheim a “cheetah.� McIntyre refers to him as Forrest Gump, because he can’t seem to stop running. Norheim, though, lagged behind the run of play against the Buckeyes, and that couldn’t happen again. After a day off, Norheim went to the Cage, a gym for athletes in Manley Field House. He cleared his personalized regimen of squats, lateral lunges and other leg lifts. And then he headed to a team practice. “I always try to push my body as much as possible as long as it doesn’t disturb my performance,� Norheim said. Norheim, a 6-foot-4 defender, has been described by teammates as a “consummate professional.�

His consistency — he’s been a starter for all but one of SU’s matches in the last two years — and production are contributing factors as to why No. 20 Syracuse (7-5-3, 1-4-2 Atlantic Coast) is sixth in the NCAA’s rating percentage index. In 2018, the defender is second on the team with five goals. In 2017, he attempted three shots. Since Oct. 16, he scored three times. A center back last year, Norheim shifted to right back this year. He

will be a big factor in the Orange’s season-finale against Boston College on Friday, Oct. 26. The matchup against the Eagles is a chance for SU to pull itself out of the bowels of the ACC before the ACC tournament begins next Wednesday. “If you ask anyone, it’s very difficult for Sondre to improve his fitness. He’s a machine,� McIntyre said. “... If he’s tired, it’s not a reflection of weakness in his game, it’s see norheim page 10

During warmups before an Oct. 12 game against Miami, there was something different about Syracuse’s Santita Ebangwese. The senior was energetic as usual, dancing to “Titanium� by David Guetta and air guitaring to “Thunderstruck� by AC/DC, but her right thigh and hip were wrapped tight with athletic tape. “I don’t even think about it when I’m playing,� she said. “They aren’t serious at all.� A week later against North Carolina, it was Aliah Bowllan who was injured. Head coach Leonid Yelin made a last-minute decision to sit SU’s libero to rest her elbow, he said. Her onegame absence turned into two when she missed Sunday’s game against North Carolina State. The injuries are beginning to accumulate for the Orange. After reaching the halfway point of conference play last weekend, Syracuse (12-6, 8-2 Atlantic Coast) finds itself fourth in the

ACC. Its conference winning percentage of .800 through the first half of ACC play is its best since joining in 2013. In order for SU to continue winning, its injured players need to return and stay healthy. The Orange want to improve their serves and digs, and finding the right balance between rest and practice while injured, associate head coach Erin Little said, is the key. “I think every athlete understands that you’re never going to be 100 percent,� she said. “Every athlete deals with little pains, and it’s just part of being an athlete.� At the beginning of the season, redshirt senior Christina Oyawale missed seven games with an ankle injury. Bowllan has now missed two because of her elbow. Ebangwese hasn’t missed any, but is still hindered by her thigh and hip. Ensuring that Syracuse’s players are eating healthy and getting enough sleep, among other treatments, helps the Orange practice through injuries, Little said. The see balance page 10
