Campus sees Students donate 70 jeans to be converted to insulation four cases of chicken pox

By Audrie Tan

Contributing Writer

Students dropped their pants on the Quad on Friday to show their support for efforts to build sustainable housing.

A total of 70 pairs of jeans were dropped off Friday during the launch

of Cotton Incorporated’s fall denim drive, “Cotton. From Blue to Green.”

During the two-hour student-run event, a handful of people came to the Quad to donate as many as eight pairs of jeans each.

The campaign is sponsored by Cotton, in conjunction with Habitat

for Humanity, to raise awareness for sustainability. The denim collected will be recycled into natural cotton fiber insulation to build houses for communities in need.

This year, Syracuse University is among five participating universities that will run the campaign on

its campus. Laura Foti, the event head and sophomore public relations major, said she was thrilled to be part of a national campaign. Foti is also a staff writer for The Daily Orange.

Syracuse University has seen four cases of chicken pox on campus recently, according to an e-mail sent Saturday to the SU community.

Former professor, chair remembered for anti-Vietnam War activism

By David Propper Contributing Writer

Norman Balabanian was a man of action right up until the moment he died.

Balabanian served in the military in the 1940s, protested against the Vietnam War in the 1960s, ran for

Congress on an antiwar platform and finally settled as a professor at Syracuse University. He summed up his life’s philosophy with his final words to his stepson: “What have you done for your fellow man lately?”

“Norman believed having thoughts of something meant noth-

ing if you didn’t match it with action.” said his stepson, David Spear. “The last thing he said to me kind of typified his outlook of life, his action. Life was a verb with Norman. It was all about doing.”

A memorial service was held in memory of Balabanian on Friday at

Google works to make self-driving cars

Google has secretly been working on a project to create vehicles that can drive themselves, according to The New York Times. Seven cars have been tested so far - 1,000 miles were driven without human intervention and 140,000 miles were driven with human intervention. The cars use artificial-intelligence software that has the capability to sense anything near the car and mimic the decisions of human drivers. Only one accident has occurred so far, in which the Google car was rear-ended at a traffic light, according to The New York Times. The new technology reacts more quickly than humans and has 360-degree perception. There also isn’t a risk of getting tired, distracted or intoxicated like humans. The cars can drive more closely to one another, which could allow for more road capacity, and they could be built lighter and use less fuel.

A Toyota Prius, equipped with sensors, successfully merged into and drove through traffic on Highway 101 in San Francisco, according to The New York Times.

Bill requires potential pledge of loyalty

The Israeli cabinet approved a bill Sunday that would require new citizens to pledge their loyalty to Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, according to The Washington Post. As part of a future peace agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insisted that Palestinians must recognize Israel as the Jewish state, but the demand was rejected, according to The Washington Post. The bill would only be required for non-Jews who want to become naturalized citizens. Jews immigrating to Israel are granted citizenship automatically and Israeli Arabs already are citizens. Palestinian leaders said the bill undermines claims of Palestinian refugees returning to their homes in Israel, and civil rights advocates said it undermines Israeli democracy, according to The Washington Post.

crime briefs • The Department of Public Safety is actively investigating the first on-campus armed robbery, which occurred north of Haven Hall on Thursday night, DPS Chief Tony Callisto said.

An unknown male approached a Syracuse University student Thursday at 7:55 p.m. on the 300 block of Comstock Avenue and fled with the victim’s wallet after brandishing a knife, according to a DPS public safety notice e-mailed to SU students Friday morning. The man fled on foot, away from campus and toward East Genesee Street.

Prior to the incident, the victim and suspect talked and went between two houses on Comstock to perform a property transaction, Callisto said.

When the victim pulled out his wallet to purchase, the male displayed a three- to four-inch blade and ordered the victim to give him all his money.

The male asked the student to purchase various small electronic items, according to a Friday afternoon e-mail update to the public safety notice.

The student did not sustain any injuries.

Callisto said students should try to stay safe and remember they live in a city setting.

“Students should follow the basic safety rules,” Callisto said. “Don’t walk alone at night. Don’t meet with anyone who wants to sell you something on a street corner.”

Last year there were several armed robberies involving students, but they happened further off campus, in places like Fellows or Columbus avenues, Callisto said.

DPS is asking for the help of those who might have been in the area Thursday night. The suspect is described as a male in his early 20s and as 5 feet 11 inches tall, with a thin build. He has two small tattoos under the corner of his eyes, one possibly shaped like a lightning bolt, and a small diamond stud nose ring. The suspect was last seen wearing a red Phillies baseball hat backward, darkcolored jeans and a sweatshirt. Two photos of the suspect were released Friday evening in a DPS e-mail.

• An apartment on the 100 block of Comstock Avenue was burglarized Sept. 30, according to a Syracuse police report. Residents of the apartment are not Syracuse University students. A resident of the apartment, Nicole Walker, told police she noticed a kitchen window was open, and the screen was popped out at around 8 p.m. on Sept. 30. After searching the apartment, Walker told police 10 of her prescription Oxycodone pills and a $500 gold bracelet were missing, according to the report. Walker’s roommate, Janelle Jones, said a $100 iPod of hers was also taken, according to the police report.

First MayFest interest meeting draws minimal turnout

By Laurence Leveille Asst. Copy Editor

A total of five students attended the first MayFest 2011 joint general interest meeting held by Student Association and University Union on Thursday.

The meeting was meant to get students involved in the planning

process of MayFest 2011 by allowing them to provide input for the second annual event on Walnut Park this spring.

Jenessa Nyasha, a sophomore psychology major who attended the meeting, said the only reason she knew about the meeting was because the event was posted on Facebook.

An e-mail via Syracuse University News Services and an article published by The Daily Orange Tuesday also announced the meeting.

According to the Facebook event, entitled “MayFest 2011 General Interest Meeting,” 18 students said they would attend and 25 said they might attend. Aside from SA and UU mem-

bers, only four freshmen and one sophomore attended.

Despite the low turnout, neither organization expected many students to attend, because it is still early in the planning process.

“MayFest isn’t on everybody’s mind in October,” said Neal Casey,

Federal grant supports SU programs for low-income entrepreneurs

By Micki Fahner Contributing Writer

When Della Brown’s husband first suggested she open her own taco restaurant, it seemed like nothing more than a dream. Now, nearly three years later, Della Brown is the owner of her own small business, Tacolicious.

This was made possible, in part, by services run through Syracuse University.

SU recently received an $83,750

grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration, under the Program for Investment in Microentrepreneurs Act. The money will help the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship, an extension of the Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management, assist disabled and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs work toward their goals.

“It is designed to assist very lowincome folks and expose them to what it takes to start a small business,” said Bernard Paprocki, district director of the Small Business Administration Syracuse District Office.

This is the second year the PRIME grant has been given to the university, and it can be renewed annually up to five times. Those who wish to receive the PRIME grant must apply and be reviewed by a committee. The

university is one of 92 nonprofit organizations to receive PRIME funding.

The grant requires funds to be matched by at least 50 percent from the recipients, according to the Small Business Administration’s program announcement.

The Falcone Center will use the money for projects like the Start-Up NY program, which seeks to guide participants through their entresee entrepreneur page 7

Park51 column unenlightened, ignorant As a regular reader and critic of The Daily Orange, I was both unsurprised and disappointed to read Lauren Tousignant’s latest example of unenlightened dribble she dubs an “opinion” in the Oct. 7 issue.

In approaching what she calls “the controversy” of Park51, Ms. Tousignant begins her article by revealing how uninformed and undereducated about Islam and the Middle East she really is. She goes on to denounce her former ignorance under the guise of a newfound understanding, obtained through a single Middle Eastern studies class and by attending a lecture I’m not convinced she even understood.

Using this wealth of knowledge, Ms. Tousignant then tries to assert an argument against building Park51 based on “timing,” protesting that “ten years is too soon for the Cordoba House to be built … especially when Americans are just as uninformed about Islam as they were before 9/11. But it’s the perfect time to begin understanding our fellow American Muslims.”

I think this statement perfectly demonstrates the contradiction in Ms. Tousignant’s argument against Park51, which is to say, how can one bar Muslim Americans from trying to interact with and educate their community and simultaneously claim that one is beginning to understand Muslim Americans? It simply does not make any sense. By restricting opportunities for Muslim Americans to reach out to their community, “other” Americans only serve to alienate and irritate the Muslim American community.

Furthermore, I would say that the very nature of Ms. Tousignant’s article rests on “otherizing” Muslim Americans. By

letter to the editor framing her article from an “America vs.

Islam” mentality, Ms. Tousignant not only seems to imply that one can’t be simultaneously American and Muslim, but furthermore that Muslim Americans do not have the same right to feel or react to what happened on Sept. 11 and thereafter. This “otherization” of the Muslim American community detracts from open dialogue and education and serves to propagate stereotypes. The article is peppered with such ignorant sentiments as “Yes, (the 9/11 attackers) were radicals, but it’s often difficult to differentiate between those who practice Islam and those who take it to the extreme”. Well, excuse me Ms. Tousignant, but I’m certain you can distinguish between regular church-going Catholics and the Westboro Baptist fundamentalists.

I am both offended and saddened by Ms. Tousignant’s assertion that “many Americans are skeptical of the Islamic faith. We don’t understand it, we don’t trust it.” As an educated and enlightened American, I find it wildly unfair of Ms. Tousignant to assume that a) Americans don’t have an understanding of Islam and b) even if this lack of understanding exists, it somehow justifies prejudices, or articles like this one. Ignorance is never a sufficient excuse.

Unlike Ms. Tousignant, I lived in New York City on the day the towers fell, and I, like many, will never forget that fear or bewilderment. But I do not allow those memories to overcome facts or opportunities to educate myself and connect with others. In the face of a narrowing scope of communication, I believe that it is of utmost importance that we open up the dialogue between the American public and the Muslim American community to try to decrease this epidemic of “otherization.” It is with passion and urgency that I echo Ms. Tousignant’s hope for future harmony among all communities; however, I do not agree with her method of espousing misinformed half-truths and biases on the road to understanding. Instead I would encourage all Americans to step outside themselves, to engage in dialogue among their own and other communities, and to use knowledge as a tool to overcoming ignorance.

In summary, it is lucky for us that Ms. Tousignant chooses to focus her energies on rhetoric and not international relations.

For England, rugby is tribute to basics

ONDON—This weekend, I got to watch Tom Brady touch the ball down in the end zone three times.

Sitting in the stands, I heard no talks of his great bone structure by girls sporting his number or University of Michigan stats by cap-adorned guys holding beers.

Rather, I heard a middle-aged woman named Collette admire his “chiseled thighs and nineteen-year-old firm bum,” as she drank her coffee.

Yes, I am aware the Patriots had a bye this week. The Tom Brady I’m referring to is a 5-foot-10-inch winger who plays for the Sale Sharks, a professional rugby team based in a suburb of Manchester.

This past weekend, the Sharks played in an Amlin Challenge Cup game against El Salvador, emerging after 80 minutes of hard-hitting tackles with a score of 97-11. According to one of the team managers, playing a full game of rugby on the professional level incurs physical harm worse than getting into a head-on car accident at 50 mph. Ninety-seven points well earned.

Talking to the locals during this match, I learned a considerable amount about the significance of rugby in Europe.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the game, rugby is the progeny of a twisted one-night stand between soccer and football.

I

a pint a day The rugby ball can be kicked, held and carried. Players can only pass backward, and no padding is worn.

Tackling is the dominant action, and most ripened players have sustained injuries spanning from collarbone fractures to displaced teeth to completely deteriorated ACLs — or, most likely, some macabre combination. Rugby is rough-and-tumble at its finest.

My English-style enlightenment came from the aforementioned Collette: Manchesterite, coffee consumer, admirer of fine male legs.

She informed me of the average salary professional rugby players earn. As a typical American, I associate professional athletes with large paychecks, but rugby players in England earn around 70,000 pounds a year, approximately $150,000.

While they bring home bacon of comparable size to white-collar workers, the difference is that an accountant probably doesn’t run the risk of incurring significant bodily harm on a daily basis.

Between sips from her thermos, Collette explained, “The lads do it for

the love. What else could make a man like little Tom (Brady) face being tackled by the likes of that,” referring to the 6-foot-4, 300-pound Spaniard playing for El Salvador. Point taken.

When I asked what these players do when their injuries are too severe for recovery, Collette informed me it was never a problem: Rugby players are among the most educated athletes in England. Didn’t see that one coming.

Comparing rugby players to soccer players, she elaborated, “Rugby players can only play if they educate themselves. No school, no rugby.

Football players — no dear-y, English football players — are usually picked out when they’re small and taken on quite a different path.”

That lent me a tad of relief when, two minutes later, there was a tackle at midfield that I could hear from my seat.

So as Tom Brady finished his car accident of a game, as the Shark mascot tackled kids on the sideline and as Collette fed me tidbits of trivia on each and every player on the team, I decided that to England, rugby is a tribute to the basics.

Men driven by the most basic love of the game accept basic compensation, inserting themselves into a proverbial battle with basic protection. Basically.

Israeli cabinet approves loyalty oath bill, compromises Israeli-Palestinian peace

srael, of course, has messed up again.

The Israeli cabinet recently approved the loyalty oath bill, which requires “new immigrants to pledge loyalty to the ‘Jewish and democratic’ state.” Israel needs to stop pushing for loyalty within its borders because it’s beginning to look like ethnic cleansing and pure racism.

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region cannot afford more bad publicity, yet Israel continues to produce heaping doses of it.

For many, the new bill would seem harmless because what country would not want to ensure loyalty from its citizens and the natural

well-being of its political systems?

The United States has laws against treason, so other countries should have the same capability, right?

The issue with Israel is that its new oath bill comes at a very fragile time when Israel-Palestinian peace is not looking so great. Now the Israeli Supreme Court still has to adjudicate the decision to ensure the bill doesn’t conflict with the country’s basic law.

This may be a small hint of hope for individuals against the bill, but experts in the region are saying it will probably pass. Seeing that Rahm Emmanuel has stepped down from the White House staff, Israel is losing interest in what the United States

I truly believe if the bill is passed and phased into the Israeli Constitution, all hell will break loose. According to Al Jazeera, Israel would be asking Palestinians to accept their own forfeiture of land rights.

Ahmad Tibi, a member of the Knesset (unicameral legislature of Israel), was quoted in Al Jazeera as stating, “Palestinians will have to say that this country (Israel) is for Jews, and Palestinians are only guests.”

I don’t know about anyone else, but to me, this entire issue sounds like Israel is not looking to settle any disputes with the Palestinians whatsoever. They are acting like three-year-olds who don’t want to share. I guess that’s what happens when you’re hated by many and liked

She said she supports the effort, as it helps better the community.

“I would like to contribute whatever I can,” she said.

Noel Frodelius, a junior art history major, said she agreed. Frodelius hopes more people would work together to donate jeans, she said, after donating two pairs of jeans that were too old to give to The Salvation Army.

“We are a community that believes in helping others. I think that when people hear about this cause, they will give back.”

Park last year.

MayFest, an SU event since 2005, started as an academic day for students in which classes were canceled. In 2007, students began to party on Euclid Avenue on the same day as the event.

In 2009, university officials changed the name of MayFest to SU Showcase, and an event was held at the Women’s Building field, which received positive feedback because of free food and entertainment, Casey said. Students also partied on Euclid Avenue that year.

Classes were reinstated on SU Showcase in October 2009, and SA began to meet with the administration immediately after the announcement in hopes of creating a day for students. In

There will be more meetings throughout the fall and spring semesters to gather student input, Casey said.

SA and UU members will also begin meeting about once a month, starting Monday. During the spring semester, they will start meeting once or twice a week until the event, Casey said.

Before he asked for student input, Casey briefly told the attendees the history of MayFest and how it came to be an event held on Walnut

the campus coming together to aid Haiti last year as a positive indication of SU’s reputation for altruism.

“We are a community that believes in helping others,” Foti said. “I think that when people hear about this cause, they will give back.”

The reception has been good so far, but Foti said she expects more people to contribute now that donation bins were moved to the Schine Student Center and residence halls on Saturday.

Fundraising events are organized every weekend for the month of October, including a denim drive at the greek life houses on campus Oct. 16 and a Habitat for Humanity event at the Sheraton University Hotel and Conference Center on Oct. 24. There will also be an event at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry at the end of the month.

Foti said she hopes to reach out to companies like Wegmans and The Salvation Army, which could help raise funds for the campaign.

These partnerships have yet to be confirmed, she said.

Residents from the Syracuse community are

also encouraged to join the effort, Foti said.

“We’re trying to reach out to as many people as possible,” Foti said. “I think the sky’s the limit.” atanying@syr.edu

collaboration with the administration and UU, SA brought back MayFest and decided it would be an event held in Walnut Park, seperate from SU showcase. The event offered free beer for students over 21, free food and entertainment.

“The goal is to help alleviate — eventually eliminate — Euclid and move and turn MayFest into this event in Walnut Park,” Casey said.

“If you look at universities across the country, this is what they have. They don’t have the big disaster of Euclid. They have a well-sponsored, student-run event, which is the key thing here.”

Another goal for this year is to recreate last year’s event by taking feedback and turning it into positive changes to make the event more successful, he said.

This year, SA and UU want students to be more involved with the planning process of the event.

“We need more student input in this committee,” Casey said.

There is a MayFest committee that helps plan the event, made up of students, administrators, Department of Public Safety, Syracuse police and others.

Although there was a low turnout, students who came to the meeting have potential to

become part of the committee, Casey said.

Casey, UU President Andrew Beyda, and Dan Scorpio, SA’s promotions board chair, also told students they could become involved in planning MayFest by helping determine the entertainment and promotional features of the event. UU is responsible for booking the talent for the event, Beyda said.

Beyda asked students who they would like to see perform. One student suggested Kid Cudi, but Beyda said he would be too expensive for the $20,000 budget. Cudi would be more like a Block Party artist, he said. Other students suggested Samuel Adams and mash-up artists.

SA and UU are looking into feedback they have already received about adding seating and guest passes to the Walnut Park event. They are also looking into what else they could do, because students were asking what they were suppose to do at the event besides drink, eat and listen to music, Casey said.

“The last thing we wanted to do was overprogram the event, because we wanted it to be that fun party, hanging out-type atmosphere,” Casey said, “not a university sponsored event.” lgleveil@syr.edu

I learned that side from my parents.”

Jimerson, who is from the Cattaraugus Reservation, south of Buffalo, wants to use the federal holiday as an opportunity to celebrate indigenous survival and to raise awareness for threats past and present, rather than to focus on Columbus alone.

The day will include a demonstration from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the Quad and a panel discussion, “Legacies of Columbus,” Monday night at 7 p.m. in Grant Auditorium.

The panel will look at the different parties affected by Columbus — not just natives and Europeans, but new peoples that came into existence, said Scott Lyons, director of the Native American studies minor. Conversation will also focus on Central and South America and issues dealing with border disputes and immigration, Lyons said.

Students on the Quad will wear T-shirts and hand out index cards with political cartoons satirizing Columbus as a heroic legend. Members of the group wanted to incorporate a sense of humor into the event, which has previously had a more serious tone, Jimerson said.

“This year we wanted more of a party atmosphere,” he said. The T-shirts they will distribute say, “Celebrating indigenous survival since 1492” on the front and “Party like it’s 1491” on the back.

Ira Huff, a sophomore history major from Tonawanda Reservation near Buffalo, said he wants Syracuse University’s demonstration to bring visibility to native students at SU.

trator at SU. He said he believes one of the reasons for this success is the business counseling, something the grant money will be put toward.

Start-Up NY business counselors focus on finding strengths, weaknesses and passions before discussion of a business plan even begins, Tihic said.

“Other places that counsel, they go directly and start using the jargon,” Tihic said. “People

get afraid.”

University students have an opportunity to consult with the small businesses in the program as a part EEE 443: “Emerging Enterprise Consulting,” offered through Whitman. The students work with the small business directly and become the support team.

Being able to work with real entrepreneurs gives the students needed real-life experience, among other opportunities, Tihic said.

“It also helps them to understand what it means to be low-income or have a disability, while giving the entrepreneurs resources that, otherwise, they would not be able to obtain,” Tihic said. “If you look at the success of businesses, the ones that did the business because they were passionate about it were successful.”

The funding the PRIME grant offers goes to services that help harness the passion of the entrepreneurs and turns it into business success, such as with Brown and Tacolicious.

Joanne Lenweaver, director of the Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship Women’s Business Center, is familiar with Brown’s efforts to form her own business. Tacolicious opened Oct. 4. The restaurant has six employees and is looking to schedule its official grand

“We’re not discriminated against, which is good. But we’re not really recognized, which is bad,” Huff said.

There are approximately 160 native students at SU, Huff said.

“By doing this, we can show people that we are part of this campus, and we are part of this community, and we’re growing within the larger campus,” Huff said.

Members of NASAS come from different areas and tribes, but on Monday they will show

solidarity for the Haudenosaunee people, the preferred name of the Iroquois people, of Onondaga Nation.

Jeannne Shenandoah, a member of Onondaga Nation, said for her, the image of Columbus is “an image of invasion” and one that is present for her people today.

“We have a very small piece of land left,” Shenandoah said. “Central New York was, at one time, our homeland, and the state does not want to recognize it. But take a look around

here, everything around us is named Onondaga — valley, county, lake.”

Onondaga Nation, located five miles away from SU, down Interstate 81 South, was recently in a legal battle with New York state over land rights. A judge threw out Onondaga Nation’s claim suit Sept. 23.

Debate also continues over cigarette taxes.

Onondaga and other tribes say taxing their nations’ cigarette sales violates sovereignty rights, while the state maintains its right to tax cigarettes sold to state residents.

The hope, Huff and Jimerson agreed, is that the discussion of present and past issues facing native people will continue beyond Monday.

They’ll hold events throughout November, which is National Native American Heritage Month.

“Tomorrow’s not just about Columbus or colonization, it’s about our history and the fact that we’re still here,” Huff said. “All that negative stuff isn’t going to bring us down.” jmterrus@syr.edu

once, with 90 percent of those who contract chicken pox being younger than 10 years old.

The illness begins with a fever and feelings of tiredness and weakness, and an itchy blisterlike rash starts soon after. Symptoms appear within 10 to 21 days after coming in contact with the illness. Most who are vaccinated will not contract the illness, but those who do will experience a mild form.

The SU e-mail said chicken pox is not a risky illness and most recover within a week, but alerted those with a compromised immune system and pregnant women, as it poses an additional health risk to fetuses.

BALABANIAN FROM PAGE 1

Balabanian suffered a massive coronary Dec. 19. He died in his sleep at his home in Gainesville, Fla., where he retired in 1991 and was active as an honorary chair on the University of Florida campus.

Nearly 60 people attended Friday’s service, which was organized by retired physics professor Arnold Honig. The service featured four primary parts that included Balabanian’s time as a professor, scholar, co-founder of the Central New York chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union and his crusade against the Vietnam War that eventually led him to run for Congress on an antiwar platform.

Balabanian passionately opposed the war in Vietnam, believing it was unjust for the

Health Services reported “a smattering of visits on typical skin issues of varying causes,” said Carol Masiclat, Health Services spokeswoman, in a Sept. 24 e-mail.

The Onondaga County Health Department is working with SU in response to the spread.

Those in the campus community are encouraged to check health records to see if they need the vaccination. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults who have never had chicken pox get vaccinated.

Vaccinations are available at Health Services. Faculty and staff who think they need to be vaccinated are encouraged to contact their primary care providers, and SU students are directed to contact Health Services.

WHAT IS CHICKEN POX? • Chicken pox is a contagious, mild illness characterized by an itchy blister-like rash • Initial symptoms are a sudden fever and feeling tired and weak • Chicken pox can be transmitted from person to person, through the air or by touching contaminated items • Symptoms appear between ten and 21 days after coming in contact with the illness • Those who are vaccinated do not get chicken pox, and if they do experience a mild form • A person is most likely to infect another one to two days before a rash appears and until blister dry up • Before the varicella vaccine was licensed in 1995 most contracted chicken pox • 90 percent of chicken pox cases occur in children younger than 10 • Most only contract chicken pox once • Pregnant women and those with a weakened immune system should be most careful • The infection can return years after the initial infection in the form of shingles

United States to be involved in the escalating confl ict. Balabanian, Honig and others were frustrated their positions were not being heard, so Honig suggested Balabanian run for a seat in the 1966 34th congressional election.

Being a man of action, Balabanian eventually agreed.

“In the context of a campaign, you can bring out these issues, and we did, with rational arguments for not proceeding with that war, that unfortunate war,” Honig said.

Honig said the campaigning process took up much time and consisted of interviews, meetings, raising money, handing out fliers and fi nding campaign headquarters. All of that was on top of other professional commitments.

“It was sometimes very, very hectic, but we thought we really had to do it,” Honig said.

Party, with the motto “Move for Peace.” Balabanian’s goals were peace in Vietnam, an end to poverty and jobs for all.

“There was a beginning to build resistance to the war. It seemed to make sense that, in a small way, someone ought to do something in Syracuse,” said Edith Schmitz, whose husband was Balabanian’s campaign treasurer.

When Election Day came, Balabanian received just 3 percent of the 163,406 votes cast, or a little less than 5,000 votes.

“He knew he wasn’t going to win. It was really to educate people about what the policies of the government were at that time, and that the war was immoral and wrong,” said Balabanian’s daughter, Karen.

Honig also said a goal of the campaign was to take votes away from Democrats, as a way to force them to shift their ideology and reassess their opinion of the war.

Balabanian’s opposition to war lived past his defeat in the congressional election. Balabanian had volunteered and served in the military from 1943 to 1946. When he moved to Florida in the 1990s, he was part of Veterans for Peace.

Balabanian is survived by his wife, four biological children and five stepchildren from his second marriage.

Balabanian, a Unitarian, donated his body to the University of Florida medical department

upon his death. It will be returned after two years.

“He was demanding and could sort of be absolute. … He was a good father. He could be difficult, but I think we benefited from having him as a father,” daughter Karen said.

Balabanian’s passion for social justice arose from injustices he witnessed growing up, his children said.

“It was just where he came from that made him who he was,” said Spear, Balabanian’s stepson.

Balabanian, who was of Armenian descent and lived in Syria for some years as a child, saw cruelty and wrongdoings around him. His mother was one of the Armenian survivors of Musa Dagh, a resistance to Ottoman Empire attacks on six villages that drove the Armenian people up the Musa Mountain, holding off Turkish attacks for 53 days.

“Many things you read in textbooks, he experienced firsthand,” Spear said.

When Spear looks back at that last conversation with his stepfather, he can only smile at how appropriate those last words were.

“I found it a fitting thing,” Spear said. “He didn’t know it was the last thing he said to me, I don’t think. I certainly didn’t, but it was the last thing he said to me. I found it pretty beautiful.” dgproppe@syr.edu

Expert dismisses common myths about ‘dangerous’ animals

By Jess Siart STAFF WRITER

B

rown bears might eat almost anything, but there is one food they can’t stand.

“The only thing I’ve noticed that bears won’t eat is lima beans,” said wildlife expert Andrew Simmons. “And I agree with them — it’s a disgusting vegetable.”

The eating habits of brown bears was only one topic Simmons discussed when he visited the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry with an array of animals Tuesday night.

Simmons, who specializes in predators, emphasized the survival methods of predator animals, explained factors that contribute to their endangerment and dispelled popular misconceptions of these animals being inherently violent.

“I thought it was really interesting,” said Tim Hornstein, a junior bioprocess and engineering major. “It gives us more respect for animals than people who don’t come in contact with them.”

Simmons’ presentation featured a golden eagle, a Eurasian eagle owl, an American alligator, a black throat monitor, a Burmese python and the crowd favorite, a Syrian brown bear cub.

Simmons began the talk describing the trialand-error method of learning seen among birds of prey to the packed auditorium, with a large, black golden eagle perched on his hand.

The “ghost owl,” or Eurasian eagle owl, known for its fuzz-covered feathers that quiet its flight, also made an appearance. The owl is the same type used in the Harry Potter movies, Simmons said.

The owl, the largest in the world, initially

Simmons explained the ins and outs of dealing with animals. Brown bears like this one will eat anything, including the donuts it received as treats. seemed opposed to sitting on Simmons’ arm, trying to fly away for the first few moments on stage. Once settled, Simmons fed the owl two rodents, which it ate whole.

He then brought out a 3-year-old American alligator. The alligator can grow up to a foot a year in the wild, Simmons said.

As one of Simmons’ assistants brought the alligator around the audience, Simmons explained alligators become a danger to humans only after they are fed and lose their fear of humans. Most alligator attacks are due to humans invading their habitat or attempting to get too close to them, he said.

Simmons brought a black throat monitor, a large lizard native to Africa, to the stage next.

Compared to alligators, the lizards are easier to deal with because they become unconscious when flipped on their back.

“You don’t see people on the Discovery Channel wrestling and pinning six- to eight-foot lizards,” Simmons said.

Five audience members were called on stage to assist with the next animal, an 18-foot long

Burmese python. The snake can consume whole animals four times the size of its head and eats every few weeks, Simmons said.

Once fully grown, the python has no natural predators and isn’t usually a risk to humans.

“The only time you have to worry about them is when they are in their enclosure, ready to

“The bear was adorable,” said Sabrina Green, a freshman wildlife science major.

Simmons said the idea that bears spend the winter in a deep slumber is false. He said bears are easily woken.

The snake was bred and raised in captivity, and Simmons taught the audience how to determine the sex of a snake. Males typically have longer and thicker tails than females. He told students not to handle a snake in the wild and try to determine its sex.

are incorrectly identified as carnivores and should be labeled omnivores because they will eat almost anything, he said.

Simmons’ presentation inspired some students to attempt to follow in his footsteps.

“I love animals, so that was awesome,” said Brittany Laxton, a sophomore biology major. “I want to have my own zoo now.” jlsiart@syr.edu

SU study finds love, drugs alike

By Alissa Meagher Contributing Writer

Love has been defined as a complex set of emotions that can make people act strangely, maybe even out of character. But one rarely hears it being classified as a drug.

That definition is about to change, as it is now being defined as a complex neural process that has a druglike effect on the brain, according to recent studies at Syracuse University.

Using MRI technology, psychologists have discovered that love affects many parts of the mind, including the parts that deal with motivation, body image and self-representation.

Heading the experiment was SU psychology professor Stephanie Ortigue, with help from Nisa Patel, a graduate student in the College of Arts and Sciences, as well as a doctor from Switzerland and two professors

rightly glittered faces smash into the concrete. Eight neon green wheels skid and suddenly lift into the air, bringing a separate set of neon orange wheels down with it. Like a superhero, rainbow-colored underwear rests over black spandex. All the better to hip check someone with. Skating round and round in a tight circle, these tattooed women snarl and slam into one another.

But don’t break up the fight yet — it’s not quite clear whether these ladies are competing or just having some fun. These lines are blurred by the Assault City Roller Derby, Syracuse’s one and only women’s roller derby team.

“You’re on skates, and somebody’s coming at you, and they want to launch a big hit on you,” said Kitty “Chairman Meow” Gifford. “And you have the ability to maneuver and avoid them while on eight wheels. I just smile at that. It’s fun to be able

with numerous Assault City players, before the groups split up and formed their own separate leagues. Using the roller derby as a means to express themselves, the players enjoy the aggres-

sive nature of the sport while keeping the competition fun.

Contemporary roller derby has been around for more than 80 years. The sport mixes the aggression of football, the finesse of figure skating and the swagger of professional wrestling. All on wheels. Roller derby is played on an oval track 88 feet long and 55 feet wide. Each game, or “bout,” is broken into two 30-minute halves. The bouts are then broken into two minute “jams,” with 30 seconds between each jam.

During these two-minute jams, one member of each team, called a “jammer,” must skate through a pack of four teammates and four opponents, called the “blockers.” Each team is led by a “pivot,” who controls where the pack goes. The jammer must skate and break through the opposing team’s blockers. For every blocker she passes, a jammer scores one point for her team.

That’s where the fun begins. Players can check, see derby page 13

from West Virginia University. The analysis has been going on for 10 years, but the results were published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine’s 2010 edition.

“First of all, love is one of the most important concepts in the world,” Ortigue said. “Second of all, mapping the healthy human brain on love can have important implications for mental health.”

Studying the effects of love on the brain can lead to new paths of therapy for individuals and couples experiencing relationship problems, depression and other mental health issues, Ortigue said.

A study done by professor John Cacioppo, director of both the social psychology and cognitive neuroscience programs at the University of Chicago, demonstrated that love deprivation, unrequited love and loneliness have negative consequences on work performance and mental health.

For instance, 40 percent of people who are rejected in love experience depression, Ortigue said.

Joseph Fanelli, a child and family studies professor, said he thinks the research describes the variety of emotions one experiences when love see love page 12

Student disc jockeys ready for battle at Bandersnatch concert

By Erik Van Rheenen CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Although DJ Steve Aoki has the headlining act for Monday night’s Bandersnatch concert, three student disc jockey groups hope to have the energy levels all the way up, before Aoki even steps foot on stage.

DJ Lo Biz, Chemicals of Creation and Andrew Taggart will each play a 20-minute set prior to Aoki’s headlining act, which is the first installment of the fall 2010 Bandersnatch Music Series. The three Where: Schine acts received the most Underground When: Today, 8 p.m. votes in a poll featuring How much: Sold out nine student DJs vying to open for Aoki. Aoki is a record producer and electro musician, best known for remixes for high-profi le artists, including rapper Drake and indie-rock outfit Bloc Party.

The concert doors open at 7:30 p.m., with the first opener starting at 8 p.m. All three finalists will perform their sets for the sold-out audience at Schine Underground. From the three finalists, the winner will emerge before Aoki takes the stage. The way a winner will be determined is still being discussed, said Samara Shwidock, public relations director for University Union.

“I’m very excited to open for someone as big and well-known as Steve Aoki,” said junior computer art major John Kunz, who goes by stage name DJ Dr. Teeth and is half of the DJ

duo Chemicals of Creation. “I’m expecting a ton of energy. The show has been sold out since the day tickets went on sale, so everyone there will be feeling fly like a G6.”

Chemicals of Creation already played at university radio station WERW’s first launch party on Oct. 1 at the Spark Contemporary Art Space.

The group’s performance was well-received by an audience that included Kyle Kuchta, DJ of the

“We also have a lot of new tracks we’ve been saving that we can’t wait to drop on everyone Monday night.”

“City Sounds” show on WERW radio.

“Seeing them together at our WERW launch party as Chemicals of Creation was just a small but powerful precursor to what is to be expected at the Aoki show,” Kuchta said in an e-mail.

“It’ll definitely get the crowd warmed up for Aoki, no question.”

Also competing for the top honor is DJ Lo Biz (junior Barnett Lobel), whose mixes blend everything from Top 40 hits to trance beats.

“It’s obviously a great opportunity,” Lobel said. “Steve Aoki is a DJ I look up to. I bought a ticket on the first day, before I knew I would be one of the openers, because I knew it would sell out quickly.”

Although the finalists are anticipating the competition, the 20-minute time limit that caps their sets is a concern, they said.

“Twenty minutes isn’t long enough to work the crowd,” Lobel said, who once won with a mix that lasted more than an hour. “I would have preferred having just one opener and be able to have a longer set.”

Despite time constraints, the opening acts are ready to pull out all the stops to win over the crowd before Aoki takes the stage.

“The whole competition has really inspired us to step everything up,” Kunz said. “We also have a lot of new tracks we’ve been saving that we can’t wait to drop on everyone Monday night.” ervanrhe@syr.edu

“The research shows our beginning experience with love — the lust and infatuation part of an early relationship — when we find ourselves attracted to someone, smitten by them, infatuated by them,” Fanelli said.

“We are obsessed with thoughts of the person — it’s an overwhelming roller coaster ride that feels out of control,” he said.

Fanelli, who has been married for 34 years, emphasized that love itself is also a very complex process.

“Why should Hallmark have all the fun in defining love for us?” he said. “Love is so complex, so multidimensional, so multifaceted, so irrational. Maybe Shakespeare was right when he wrote, ‘The heart has its reason, which reason does not know.’” ajmeaghe@syr.edu

slam and whip their way around opposing blockers. Aggressiveness is key. Bouts look like miniature wars, as players trip and tumble over one another, as if a landmine exploded underneath them. “We don’t go around in life trying to knock people over. But on the track we do. That’s part of the game,� said Gifford, a Surferjets player.

Formed in late 2007, Assault City ranges from fresh meat to seasoned veterans. Assault City players don’t look like athletes, but that’s the beauty of it. Team members can be any size, shape or age. Players wear what they want, wherever they want. From fishnet stockings to inch-thick eyeliner, every appearance is fair game. Even helmets are not overlooked: fuzzy mouse ears can be, and have been, attached to players’ headgear. “There’s no judgment,� said Sue “Cam Arrow�

Dozoretz, who plays for the Surferjets. “It’s just a nice combination of being able to be strong and creative and beautiful, all in one package.�

The players smile as people twice their size knock them down. Some don’t shake hands with opponents as they skate by — they’d rather bend over and offer their butts instead.

But the Assault City-Surferjets rivalry is friendly. “We have this really fun rivalry going on between the two leagues,� Dozoretz said. “We know each other really well and have a lot of fun playing against each other.�

The Ithaca coach encourages his players to play as a team and not act like Chuck Norris, said Fiona Foley, an Assault City player. Assault City players helped turn the competition friendly by placing photos of Norris in Ithaca’s locker room. One team member even rolled onto the

rink dressed as the TV-famed martial artist at Saturday’s game. “There’s an extra enjoyment playing the Ithaca team,� Foley said Still wrapping up its sophomore season, Assault City has much to improve.

Crofut, a former team member of the Ithaca Surferjets who recently moved to Syracuse and joined Assault City, notices the progress her team needs to make. “We need to work on playing together more and work on team-wide awareness,� Crofut said.

But whether they’re defi ned by sweatstreaked glitter or scuffed neon wheels, roller derby is one sport in which players can tout their own identities.

Against premier teams, SU displays promise

By Zuri Irvin Staff Writer

In the short term, a weekend against two Top 10 teams yielded a win and a loss for the Syracuse ice hockey team. In the long term, SU head coach Paul Flanagan hopes it will provide dividends down the road.

All because of the early syracuse 4 big game experience. This new hampshire 2 past weekend, that expeboston college 5 rience came in the form a win over No. 8 New syracuse 2 of Hampshire and a loss to No. 9 Boston College.

“UNH and BC are some of the premier teams over the last seven to eight years,” Flanagan said. “For us, hopefully, (it’s a) chance to show we belong playing with some better teams. Part of the scheduling is to challenge ourselves and get us ready in the preseason for the meat of our schedule, once we get into our (College Hockey America) league.”

Friday night saw SU hold the Wildcats scoreless through 51 minutes, while the Orange took a 4-0 advantage through the first two periods.

Freshman goaltender Kallie Billadeau saved 26 shots in her first career start, and Syracuse didn’t look back, finishing off New Hampshire, 4-2. Syracuse and BC were tied at two through the first two periods Saturday afternoon, before the Eagles were able to pull away and finish off the Orange, 5-2.

The two games taught SU very different lessons about itself. Flanagan hopes both will be instrumental in learning what it takes to reach the top.

“There were stretches in the (Boston Col-

lege) game where we played with such poor fundamentals,” Flanagan said. “But I give them a ton of credit. They were flying. We just looked tired physically and mentally. The lesson there is, we came off a high (Friday) night, but any time you have to get up and play a game 24 hours later, it’s tough. We’re going to learn from it and respond and, hopefully, look much better on Monday at practice.”

Boston College featured Olympic silver medalist Kelli Stack, whose three goals Saturday helped push the Eagles past the Orange. Stack, a member of multiple U.S. national teams and featured in Sports Illustrated, led BC in both goals and assists last season.

Still, there weren’t any excuses from SU following the game. Career accolades aside, junior defender Taylor Metcalfe was less than impressed with the resume of the opposing team’s star player.

“We had a lot of breakdowns as a team,” Metcalfe said. “And we let our goalie down because she basically played the whole game. But she really played no factor at all. Sometimes you’re just off.”

If Syracuse goes deep into the playoffs this season, the Orange will likely face several more Kelli Stack-types from here on out. SU put out a good showing against some of the better teams in the country and, if nothing else, was able to gauge itself against future competition.

“When we do our scheduling, we try to arrange our non-league part of it and go out and get the toughest competition you can find,” Flanagan said. “Not only last week, but the next two weekends, where we have some of the better

teams of the country coming in.”

So far, the non-league season has allowed SU to rotate two goalkeepers, new players and a number of varying offensive sets. Still in just its third season, Syracuse is now enjoying a few Division I perks, such as its newly furnished weight room, increased media coverage and a friendlier home schedule. But the team says it is staying hungry.

Sophomore forward Isabel Menard, who tallied two assists and a goal on the weekend, echoed her coach’s sentiments about earning

respect this season.

And aside from the broader lessons learned about playing against Top 10 caliber teams, there were the much smaller and specific lessons learned on the ice. Menard and Flanagan are just hoping the small things on the ice lead to bigger things on it at the end of year.

“The only thing is, we have to communicate more and play as a team,” Menard said. “A bunch of zone communications. There’s little things that we need to work on. But I think we’ll get better as we move on.” zoirvin@syr.edu

weight Strong acting overshadows shoddy writing in CBS series ‘The Good Wife’

M

By Abram Brown STAFF WRITER

ostly thanks to a solid cast, Emmynominated “The Good Wife” finds more good than bad as its second season unfolds.

Set in Chicago, the program follows the story of put-upon wife and lawyer Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies), who deals with returning to the courtroom after years at home, while Peter (Chris Noth), her husband and disgraced politician, vies to get back into the state’s attorney office. Florrick shares a past (possibly romantic) relationship with her firm’s boss, Will Gardner (Josh Charles), too.

While the acting works well, the courtroom scenes in “The Good Wife” feel contrived and artificial.

Margulies earned an Emmy nod for her role as Alicia, and it was a nomination that was well deserved. Margulies captures the viewer’s attention in all her screens, and her acting style looks effortless. She plays a stoic well, but it would be nice to see her acting happy for once.

Noth turns in a good performance, just as

Stay tuned...

he always does. Noted for his turns in “Law and Order” and “Sex in the City,” Noth plays the same sort of character: a man with whom women constantly share a love-hate relationship. Noth knows how to bring out the best in his smarmy but debonair character. He’s done it before with success, so there’s no reason to assume he will ever fail at it in this show.

But so far, the most unheralded actor is the fantastic Alan Cumming. He plays Eli Gold, Peter’s campaign manager. To some extent, screenwriters modeled Eli on Ari Gold from “Entourage,” who derived his own existence from real-life Chicago power brokers Ari and Rahm Emmanuel. But Cumming gives one of the show’s finest performances, with a deadpan and well-measured delivery.

Unfortunately, the writing sometimes fails to keep up with the high standards set by the acting. In last week’s episode, Alicia and her boss, Will, exculpate their alleged wife-murdering client, who served as an Army reservist. But in a sneaky move from the prosecution, Alicia and Will end up in military court, after an assistant state’s attorney gets a military prosecutor to file

her own charges.

When they make it to military court, Alicia and Will run up against a hard-assed judge, who, very early on, lets them know who holds the higher rank in this situation. Alicia and Will try to use the same pretrial motions, but the judge overrules them and sides with the military prosecutor. In one particular scene, Will asks the judge for a continuance to shore up his case. The judge, a woman with a stern look permanently etched onto her face, denies his request.

“Welcome to military court,” she told Will.

That line highlights the problem “The Good Wife” faces. Sometimes the writers favor the melodramatic. Yeah, no kidding: It takes place in military court. No need for the stereotypical military judge to declare it in such a blunt fashion.

“The Good Wife” should concentrate on enhancing its writing. Right now, the acting does all the heavy lifting. If the writing starts to work in tandem with that acting, the show could take off in popularity.

Orange continues trend, ties in 7th overtime game of season

By Allison Guggenheimer STAFF WRITER

It was happening again. The minutes ticked down on the scoreboard. Chances slipped by.

Steam rose off the players as the temperature crept lower. And then the whistle blew.

After 90 minutes of soccer, Syracuse was tied.

So for the seventh time in 11 games so far this season, the Orange headed to overtime.

Once again, SU was unable to close out a game in regular time, but SU was also unwilling to accept a loss before the final whistle.

“I think we worked extremely hard, and we had a clean sheet tonight,” head coach Ian McIntyre said. “But ultimately, we score a goal, and it doesn’t go into overtime. So maybe an inability to kill a team off, but also a doggedness and a real willingness to grind out results.”

Syracuse controlled play for the majority of Saturday’s game against the struggling DePaul. SU had 17 shots in regular time, yet none managed to find the net. So for the fi fth time in the last six games, Syracuse was faced with overtime. Despite having so much experience playing longer games, the extra 20 minutes ended scoreless, resulting in a 0-0 tie and one point in the Big East standings.

It has come to the point for this SU team that overtime is just what happens. With more overtime games than any other team in the Big East, midfielder Nick Roydhouse said the team was “confident” when the game was extended.

“We’ve played a lot of overtime games,” he said. “We kind of know what’s going on now.

We know how to play it. I think we dominate overtime, just due to our experience. Just a little tweak, and we’ll win that game.”

Syracuse had a few close opportunities in

both times on free kicks. The first came against Northeastern to win 1-0. The second was more recent. In Wednesday’s game versus Colgate, the Orange scored on a direct kick from 20 yards

the extra period, including a goal by freshman Brett Jankouskas, with two minutes left in the second overtime that was called back because the official ruled him offside. There was a sense of urgency on the field before and after the offside call, despite the frigid weather and the extended game.

Jankouskas said because the team has mostly played games over 90 minutes long, endurance is less of an issue going into overtime.

“We don’t really get tired anymore, we’re just kind of used to it,” Jankouskas said. “It’s almost like it’s a part of the game now. I feel like we’ve been in more overtimes than in actual regulation games, so it’s not a big deal.”

But despite the confidence and the conditioning that have come with such frequent overtime games, SU has only managed to score twice,

out, winning 3-2.

Now the team needs to either find a way to convert chances into goals or to get fouled close to the box to end these overtimes in its favor.

Forward Fredrik Forsman said it’s a matter of sustaining an attack, which can either lead to a goal on its own or to a free kick.

“The free kick comes when we try to attack them, I think,” Forsman said. “We get pressure on them, and then we get free kicks. We’re good at free kicks.”

Yet in the end, dealing with overtime would not be an issue if the team is able to get a lead during the fi rst 90 minutes. The Orange has only had one lead this year. SU was up 2-0, then let Colgate come back to tie the game with just five more minutes to play.

Instead of focusing energy on fi nishing in overtime, Jankouskas said the key is to end the game before overtime even comes into the picture. He summed up the solution simply.

Said Jankouskas: “Just score in regular time.” alguggen@syr.edu

he broke from character. For the second time in his SU head coaching career, Doug Marrone wiped a tear from his face.

“I’m happy for the players,” Marrone said while discussing the victory, his voice starting to noticeably shift as he began to choke up.

“I’m happy for the people when we go back to Syracuse. I’m happy for the student body — and I know I get teary-eyed…

“Because there is something to believe.”

Something to believe. It’s the most candid statement Marrone has given in his 22 months on the job.

The last time Marrone formed tears at a press conference, it was in defending Greg Paulus, a quarterback who, in November, was on the way out and already a lost cause to the SU fan base.

Saturday proved, finally, that the Marrone era is far from a lost cause. But until Saturday, all that rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. And judging from his teary statements this time around, Marrone knows that. Because no matter how much you harp on the overall improvement of your team — and Marrone would do so at every single opportunity — eventually, there has to be tangible results.

Saturday was a tangible result: Syracuse 13, South Florida 9. The Orange went on the road to face a team it had never beaten in program history. It was a 3-1 team still with all the odds stacked against it, with plenty of people content to believe a less-than-stellar schedule was the primary culprit for the quick start.

And though it was ugly at parts, SU came out victorious. This is the first concrete evidence of the plan coming along.

“We haven’t been here in this position in a long time,” SU senior linebacker Doug Hogue

L, 1-0 (2OT) W, 1-0 (OT) T, 1-1(2OT) T, 0-0(2OT) T, 1-1 (2OT) W, 3-2 (OT) T, 0-0 (2OT)

said. “I’ve never felt anything like this before.

It’s great. … That’s how we want to feel. In the past, losing, we don’t want to have that feeling anymore.”

Words, rhetoric, have so far become reality.

Thus far, Marrone has backed up the bowlor-bust talk he and his players so vigorously cemented in preseason camp.

Syracuse sits more than halfway to the first big step in the plan. And in one of the biggest signals of the shift in the tide, it came against a team the Orange had failed to even compete with the past five seasons, never coming closer than 14 points in the final score.

“In the past, we came down here and we lost,” linebacker Derrell Smith said. “They came up (to Syracuse) and they beat us. They may have felt we were underdogs. Hopefully, we’re not taken lightly the rest of the year.”

At the end of this year, and perhaps years from now, we might look at this win as the start of something big in the Marrone era. And the next step is the follow-up. In front of what’s sure to be a bigger crowd than usual next week at the Carrier Dome, when the preseason Big East favorites, Pittsburgh, come into town. For this to be a turning point, the Orange must challenge the next two weeks on the road at West Virginia and Cincinnati.

Marrone knows it. For that, he returned to his stoic nature.

“I think it’s one of those games you look at after the season and say, ‘Hey, that was really big to do,’” Marrone said. “It all depends on how we do from here on out, as to how we will look at this game.”

For now, though, it’s the necessary tangible first step. Toward Big East title contention.

Toward a bowl.

Toward something to believe in.

SU survives scoreless stretch, drills tying goal against Pitt

By Andrew Tredinnick Staff Writer

Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon has acquired a couple gray hairs so far this season.

Sunday was no different.

“Personally, I think I’ve aged about 10 years so far this season,” Wheddon said. “We are leavsyracuse 1 ing it late at times, but I’m that we are scoring Pittsburgh 1 glad goals.”

The Orange scored late again Sunday versus Pittsburgh. Down by a goal in the game’s final minutes of regulation, SU and Wheddon were once again on edge for a score. But sophomore forward Jenna Rickan scored in the 88th minute, and SU (5-7-4, 2-4-1 Big East) escaped with a 1-1 tie in front of 337 at the SU Soccer Stadium Sunday.

The goal was the eighth time this season SU has scored with 10 minutes or fewer remaining.

It was also the fifth time the Orange has scored with two minutes or less on the clock.

Although a poor start to the game yielded a goal for the Panthers in the 16th minute, the Orange was able to climb back and score on one of its wide array of chances in the second half.

To start, the Panthers’ Katelyn Ruhe served a ball in behind the SU defense, and Klarissa

Ames scored on a short slow roller to open the scoring. The Orange outshot Pittsburgh (4-92, 1-5-1 Big East) 5-4 in the first half, but it struggled to pass the ball efficiently enough to have any solid looks at the goal.

“I think we took far too many touches individually in the first half and that caused problems,” Wheddon said. “That allowed them to shift and break us down.”

But Wheddon encouraged his players at halftime to possess the ball with just one or two touches before passing in the second half. The change eventually put Pittsburgh back on its heels and opened up space to run the offense.

A quicker pace and shift in mentality would earn SU an overwhelming 11-2 shot advantage in the second half.

“Coming out slow was really hard for us to come back,” Rickan said. “When you keep going, keep pushing and keep trying to talk and pep each other up, it comes. Everyone started playing our game instead of their game.”

A wealth of chances ensued, and the Orange had four quality chances turned away with 10 minutes remaining in the game. In the 81st minute, midfielder Rachel Blum received a cross on a free kick from Rosina Callisto. Blum got her

head on the ball, directing it toward the left post, but Pittsburgh goalkeeper Morie Kephart made a sprawling save to keep the Panthers ahead.

But with just two minutes remaining in regulation, Rickan fired a shot in from 10 yards out to even the score. It was something Wheddon has seen all year long. The Orange struggle to accumulate quality chances in the first half, before finally scoring in the latter part of the

The teams would end the overtime period with four shots apiece. Tina Romagnuolo nearly found the back of the net when she had a breakaway with just less than five minutes to play in the game. The Panthers goalie cut off Romagnuolo and sent her to the ground, turning away any chance at a Syracuse victory.

A tie is not the objective for any team, but following Rickan’s heroics, the Orange will take

second half.

Although these situations are not what the SU coach and his team hope for, the results have proven a lot about Syracuse this season.

“We just keep fighting until the end, and that shows the heart of the team,” Blum said.

“It shows how the girls really put their heart into it. We fight until the end, and that’s all that we really can do. We wanted the win bad and, unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”

a point toward its Big East record. In the tight conference standings, every point matters.

“It’s a relief, because this is a game we couldn’t afford to lose,” Wheddon said. “We’re a point or two out of the fifth spot, and our goal is to be in the top five. We’ve still got a chance. I’m proud of the resilience, and I’m proud that we came back.” adtredin@syr.edu

Without Afonso, Bellingham, Wheddon tinkers with lineup

By Zuri Irvin Staff Writer

When Phil Wheddon’s players have a chance to play, he expects them to make a difference.

Every time they step on the field, they have to make a difference.

That was the message the Syracuse women’s soccer coach left with his team, following its 1-1 tie with Pittsburgh Sunday afternoon. And SU was able to maintain that mindset long enough to stave off a conference loss that might have caved in its season.

Wheddon credits that mindset for his team not faltering.

“The team is gaining inspiration from

of increased playing time. With five substitutions in the first half alone, Wheddon tinkered with the lineup in an effort to answer Pittsburgh’s early goal. As a result, freshmen Karly O’Toole and Brittany Kinmond, along with sophomores Laura Jackson and Jenna Rickan, were each able to contribute to SU’s late comeback.

Midfielder Alyscha Mottershead, an Iowa transfer who is seeing increased responsibility this season, doesn’t see SU’s collectively young roster as an issue.

“I don’t really think having a young team means that we are going to play younger,” Mottershead said. “Age is just a number, and

“The biggest thing for me is just to make sure that I’m getting opportunities for my team. I try and get the ball in to opportunities where we can obviously score and get the ball in the back of the net. I make sure that no runners get by me, and I check the runners at midfield.”

Laura Jackson

SU defender

each other,” Wheddon said. “We challenge ourselves each day to get the ball on the ground and play a possession style of soccer.

And we did that. As you saw, while making different changes in the team and putting different people in different positions, we still can do that.”

Wheddon ran out a lineup Sunday that was without regular starters Kayla Afonso, due to a red card suspension, and Megan Bellingham, due to a leg injury. On their behalf, fueled by their coach’s motivating words, several underclassmen made the most

the year in your class is just a number. A lot of people on our team, young or old, have a lot of experience. I think coming together as a team, we’ve all grown, and everyone on this team is a leader. Senior or junior, sophomore or freshman, I think everyone can hold their own.”

After extended back-and-forth volleying between the Orange and Panthers in the first half, Jackson entered the game with fewer than two minutes to play in the half. Over the next 15 minutes and into the second half, she was able place a free-kick service toward

the net, lob a pass up and in front to Cecilia Borgstrom, and push another opportunity out wide to Tina Romagnuolo, all of which created open looks Syracuse wasn’t finding at the start of the game.

For a player who started 18 of 19 games last season, Jackson was more than ready to come in and make something happen.

“The biggest thing for me is just to make sure that I’m getting opportunities for my team,” Jackson said. “I try and get the ball in to opportunities where we can obviously score and get the ball in the back of the net. I make sure that no runners get by me, and I check the runners at midfield.”

Syracuse entered this weekend’s play ranked 14 out of 16 Big East teams in goals scored.

Although SU surely didn’t improve upon that ranking with its lone goal on Sunday, after back-to-back overtime games, it was still a few bounces away from a victory. For Kinmond, who saw action in both games, SU is moving in the right direction at a critical time of the year.

“I know sometimes a lot of teams, by midOctober, start to decline a little bit,” she said.

“But I think that our team is just rising. Because we have a lot of players that come off the bench, there’s definitely a good team atmosphere.”

Playing without senior leader Bellingham this past weekend, SU got a good look at the future of the program.

And with Rutgers and Seton Hall to play next week, Syracuse knows it will take a group effort to keep its season alive. Including the young players. It’ll take making a difference every time they step onto the field.

“It doesn’t matter who we put in there, everyone has bought into what we’re trying to do,” Wheddon said. “And everyone is getting better, day to day. We push each other every day in training. So they know what’s expected. And

DRILL UP

Dough Marrone For Marrone, this win was 22 months in the making. Marrone prepared his team for two weeks relentlessly, and it paid off with the signature victory that could propel Syracuse to Big East title contention and a bowl berth.

Clutch offensive performance One drive was all the SU offense needed to cement the biggest victory under Marrone. After a game of mistakes and missed opportunities, the offense shone brightest when it needed to.

SU defense As a whole, the defense backed up all of its tough talk with its most complete performance of the year Saturday. The defense sacked USF quarterback B.J. Daniels four times and gave up just 219 total yards. It kept a sluggish offense in the game.

Antwon Bailey For the second consecutive game, Bailey made his presence felt as a change-of-pace back. The first three times he touched the ball all resulted in first downs. All in all, he had 12 touches for 129 yards. Daniels four times and gave up just 219 total yards. It kept a sluggish offense in the game.

DOWN

Overall offensive performance Ryan Nassib had an off day. The big third-down conversions weren’t there early on. And overall, the offense didn’t show up until that early fourth-quarter drive.

Discipline Marrone harped on discipline after the Orange committed 14 penalties against Maine three weeks ago. Looks like SU hasn’t taken those lessons to heart yet.

HERO Marcus Sales Even before this game, to say Sales would have been the hero was crazy.

Yet he stood in the end zone with 7:15 left in the fourth quarter as the receiver who caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Nassib — and his first catch of the season.

ZERO B.J. Daniels The SU defense’s game plan was to get Daniels uncomfortable, and it worked.

He finished the day just 9-for-23 with 124 yards. He also threw two interceptions, both of which came in Syracuse territory.

Turning point

7:15 4th quarter

Ryan Nassib flings a three-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Sales on first-andgoal, giving Syracuse a 13-9 lead, its first of the game. The touchdown pass capped a 14-play, 98-yard drive.

courtesy of usf athletic communications mike holmes was an key part of Syracuse’s defense on Saturday, recording three tackles and a sack. The SU defense forced two turnovers and limited South Florida to 219 total yards. It’s the third time this season SU has held an opponent to under 10 points.

SU defense frustrates Daniels, backs up talk

By Brett LoGiurato Asst. Sports Editor

TAMPA, Fla. — After the final seconds ticked down in Syracuse’s 13-9 victory over South Florida on Saturday, Anthony Perkins ventured to the Orange-clad section in the crowd stationed behind the SU bench.

The 6-foot-4 defensive tackle strolled over and took off his helmet. And then, at the end of the performance, he took a bow.

Perkins took a bow for Syracuse. And he took a bow for his defense.

After weeks of brash talking without a concrete, complete performance to show for it, the SU defense finally owned up to its members’ words Saturday. With a simple game plan, the Orange pressured, hit and sacked USF quarterback B.J. Daniels throughout the day, never allowing him to get comfortable from the start.

SU sacked Daniels four times and forced two interceptions, only allowing the Bulls to muster 219 total yards.

In a game in which the Syracuse offense struggled until finally finding its rhythm on a 14-play, 98-yard drive in the fourth quarter, the team’s defense was responsible for keeping the contest competitive.

“Defensively, they stepped up,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “I thought all of our guys played hard.”

From the beginning, SU implemented its game plan. The Bulls had arguably their best drive to start the game when they were able to easily move the ball downfield, before Daniels threw a jump ball that was intercepted by Orange cornerback Da’Mon Merkerson in the end zone.

Thereafter, the Orange rushed Daniels hard.

Hit and knocked him down with regularity.

And most importantly, never allowed him to get

comfortable.

“You don’t want him to feel comfortable,” senior linebacker Doug Hogue said. “Once he starts feeling comfortable in the pocket, starts running around and getting his own ‘swag’ and own groove and what not, that’s when we knew we were going to be in trouble.

“So we were going to have to frustrate him.

“Defensively, they stepped up. I thought all of our guys played hard.”

Doug Marrone

SU head coach

Keep him on his heels and make him make quick decisions.”

Many times, the SU defense didn’t allow Daniels enough time to make decisions. On the Bulls’ second drive, Syracuse safety Max Suter was the first to get in on the pressure-happy action, with a sack of Daniels for an eight-yard loss. Later that drive, it was Brandon Sharpe who was next to the party, sacking Daniels for a nine-yard loss after a roughing-the-punter penalty extended USF’s drive.

Going into the contest, the Orange’s plan was built around countering Daniels’ shiftiness and elusiveness with pure strength. To fellow senior linebacker Derrell Smith, it was just that simple. The target was there. Hit him.

“Basically, what you do is just hit him,” Smith said. “The way you negate speed is to show power. I think our defense is both powerful and fast.”

And the Orange confused Daniels. Some-

times, defensive coordinator Scott Shafer sent six. Sometimes, he showed blitz but backed off, content to let the situation play itself out.

“We blitzed from different directions,” Smith said. “When (Daniels) thought we were going to blitz, we didn’t. When he didn’t think we were going to blitz, we did. I think we just confused their offense.”

While the defense was frustrating and confusing Daniels and the rest of the USF offense, it was keeping Syracuse’s offense in striking distance.

In the defensive struggle, the two offenses combined for only one touchdown. The Bulls’ lone touchdown of the day came on a 94-yard kickoff return by Lindsey Lamar.

Aside from leading the game-winning drive, SU quarterback Ryan Nassib struggled. He overthrew open receivers. He took bad sacks.

He was unable to move the ball at times to win the field position battle. But each time, the Orange defense went out and one-upped the Bulls’ unit.

“The defense showed up, they really did,” Nassib said. “They showed up great. They showed a lot of their big-play mentality and made a lot of big plays. … All in all, that’s what they do. That’s what we expect every game.”

And now, to Hogue and the rest of the SU defense, the struggles at Washington and the incomplete performances against Maine and Colgate are distant memories. All that matters is complete domination, in the biggest win under Marrone.

“That’s a thing of the past,” Hogue said.

“Now we just don’t care. We had a plan, and we executed it.

“It was just about hitting this guy the whole game.” bplogiur@syr.edu

Wilkes represents recruiting gains win brings

By Brett LoGiurato ASST. SPORTS EDITOR

TAMPA, Fla. — Jeremi Wilkes was the last to run off the field. Pumping both hands in the air after the Syracuse defense’s final stop, he considered the personal magnitude of the moment.

Wilkes grew up about eight miles away from Raymond James Stadium.

“Oh, man,” Wilkes said of running off the field following that last stop. “It’s a great emotion. Growing up, I used to live right down the street. … It’s big to come out here, and my family has been supporting me ever since I was a kid, so it was huge.”

With an interception in front of where his parents were sitting, Wilkes symbolized the hometown hero. With that pick and three more tackles, he symbolized the defense’s dominance throughout the day. And both of those elements combined to symbolize the potential inroads Syracuse has made in Florida recruiting with its 13-9 victory over South Florida.

Personally, Wilkes made one of the game’s most prominent plays with a third-quarter interception of B.J. Daniels. On a USF third down, Wilkes picked off Daniels’ pass and returned it 24 yards to the SU 37-yard line.

“It was great,” Wilkes said. “Having a big pick right in front of my parents, it was definitely big.

I was just happy that I got an opportunity to get out there and do that.”

USF

FROM PAGE 24

“We just said we have one quarto do this,” running back Antwon Bailey said. “I was walking around telling everybody, ‘We have one quarter to be great. You know? We have one quarter. That’s all we need. All the work that we put in up to this point, we have one quarter to show it.’

“We did just that.”

Just that came as SU started the game-winning drive at its own two-yard line, where USF had just downed the ball on a punt. Methodically, it moved down the field with mostly short passes and some long runs by Delone Carter and Bailey.

Adam Harris for six. Bailey for five. Carter for eight.

The drive was so systematic, Bailey didn’t even realize how lengthy it was.

“It was a long drive,” Bailey said. “I just heard it was a 98-yard drive. I didn’t even know while we were doing it that it was a 98-yard drive.”

Before the game-winning drive, the contest had been full of Syracuse mistakes and missed opportunities. SU penalties — 12 of them in total — killed the team’s own drives and elongated USF drives. Missed opportunities prevented SU from taking command of a winnable game.

Wilkes is also one of 12 members of the Orange who hails from the state of Florida.

In the week leading up to the matchup, SU head coach Doug Marrone talked about how important a win could be to make even more of a splash recruiting in the state.

And after the game, with a win, Marrone was excited at the show the Orange put on for recruits at the stadium.

“You go out, you open up on the road in the Big East, and you beat a team that you’ve never really come close to beating in the previous five years,” Marrone said. “It’s a recruiting area for us. All those things help us. They help us get closer to our goal, realizing we haven’t achieved that yet.”

The other side Sam Barrington put it bluntly. When asked about Syracuse’s 98-yard scoring drive and what USF could do to improve on the defensive side of the ball, it was all too simple.

“Just overall, a better defense,” said Barrington, a sophomore linebacker for USF. “Hold them to zero. That’s the only thing I would change. Hold them to zero.”

On the other side that contrasted SU’s raucous, jubilant locker room was the Bulls’ sullen collective mood after giving away a game they thought they should have won. Now USF has a short turnaround as it prepares to face West

One of those missed opportunities prevented Syracuse from taking the lead going into the half. Ross Krautman, who made a field goal from 35 yards earlier, waited on the sidelines while Marrone called timeout to discuss his options on a fourth-and-one situation from the USF 20. Marrone decided to go for it, giving Harris just his third carry of the year. He fell just short of a first down, a call that was upheld by a measurement and Syracuse challenge.

Virginia on Thursday.

For USF defensive end Craig Marshall, the 98-yard drive stung. Much more so because he was a part of the methodical tearing apart of the Bulls’ defense by Ryan Nassib and the rest of the SU offense.

“You aren’t letting anybody drive on you, whether its 50 yards, 20 yards, whatever drive it is,” Marshall said. “The ones where they drive the length of the field are the ones that hurt. You practice this every day, day in and day out, and for them to be able to do that is demoralizing for the defense. We have to go back and try and correct it.”

This and that SU running back Delone Carter moved into ninth on the all-time career Syracuse rushing list, passing the legendary Ernie Davis on Saturday. He finished the day with 26 carries for 105 yards. … Saturday’s win was Syracuse’s first win in a Big East opener since 2007. … The Orange’s four sacks tied a season high. … Kicker Ross Krautman continued his solid season performance thus far, going 2-for-2 from 31 and 41 yards, respectively. He’s now 6-of-7 on the season. … When senior defensive tackle Anthony Perkins blocked an extra-point attempt in the third quarter, it marked the first time since 2007 Syracuse blocked a PAT. bplogiur@syr.edu

finally started to come as those five- and six-yard runs turned into a 31-yard scamper from Bailey that brought the Orange all the way to the Bulls’ 30-yard line. Bailey rushed for another 12 yards two plays later.

Carter got Syracuse to first-and-goal with three bruising runs in which he fought for all 11 yards he gained.

And then, Nassib to Sales.

It was a turn of events for Sales, who had

“It was a long drive. I just heard it was a 98-yard drive. I didn’t even know while we were doing it that it was a 98-yard drive.”

Antwon Bailey

SU RUNNING BACK

So this time, there was apprehension that a mistake could cost SU again. But Marrone saw the confidence building throughout the game.

“I thought we were getting stronger,” said Marrone, who choked up at points during his postgame press conference. “I really did. You watch the line of scrimmage, and you get two yards, you get three yards. But all of a sudden, you’re seeing a little bit more push. … I thought we started to get stronger as the game went on.”

That push, and that peak of the progression,

fallen out of favor with the coaching staff, gotten a chance with injuries to the receiving corps and then made the game-winning catch. It was a turn of events for the SU offense, which had yet to post a complete drive up to that point.

And, perhaps, it signaled the turn of events for a football program overall.

“It feels real good,” Sales said. “We came out and made a statement today.” bplogiur@syr.edu

BOWL OR BUST The Syracuse football team beat South Florida 13-9 on Saturday, as quarterback Ryan Nassib marched has squad 98 yards for the gamewinning touchdown in the fourth quarter. The SU defense led the way, holding the Bulls to just 182 yards of total offense. The Orange is now 4-1 for the first time since 1999 and won its Big East opener for the first time since 2007.

Orange grinds to 2 weekend Big East wins

By Chris Iseman Staff Writer

With the final point made and the game won, the Syracuse volleyball team seemed to breathe a collective sigh of relief. It had gotten back to winning games, racking up two victories against Big East opponents. But with the two wins came two battles, syracuse 3 and for the Orange, nothuconn 1 ing was won easily.

SU grinded through syracuse 3 and won the two games it st. john’s 0 needed to stay in contention in the Big East by playing, simply, well enough to win.

“I think we played well this weekend,” Orange assistant coach Carol LaMarche said.

“Against UConn, we played well enough. (Sunday) was a good overall day, and UConn was a good offensive day.”

Syracuse (20-2, 3-2 Big East) fought off two teams that did everything possible to stay in each game, to win two important conference victories. SU defeated Connecticut in four sets on Friday, then went on to beat St. John’s Sunday in a three-set sweep at the Women’s Building.

In both games, every point was a battle.

When SU seemed to be pulling away for an easy win, both opponents clawed their ways back, sometimes helped by untimely Orange errors.

Luckily for Syracuse, neither opponent was a superior conference opponent. When errors were made, it didn’t cost the Orange a win.

“I think that’s always a problem. Sometimes you play down to teams,” middle blocker Samantha Hinz said. “I think we have shown that we can play at the level that we need to, but it’s more of a consistency thing, that we can consistently play at that level.”

Against St. John’s, Syracuse played a tighter defense and kept its errors at a minimum. The Orange didn’t give the Red Storm any easy points, forcing St. John’s to fight for each one.

But against the Huskies, that wasn’t the case.

UConn came out strong, immediately getting four straight service points with the help of some Syracuse errors. Connecticut took control of the first set.

robert storm | staff photographer The Syracuse volleyball team continued its best start in school history by defeating Connecticut and St. John’s this weekend. The Orange is 20-2 after a 17-0 start to the season. The wins bumped Syracuse up to seventh in the Big East standings.

“They got a run on us, and we went downhill from there,” defensive specialist Sarah Hayes said. “It’s really important for us to stop those runs. After we lose two points, we need to get the third one.”

But after winning the first set, the tables turned on the Huskies. The holes that were in the Orange’s defense for the first set were in the Huskies’ for the rest of the game. Still, UConn never gave in completely.

In the final set, SU seemed like it was going to put it away easily, getting to a 23-13 lead. But errors and missed digs hurt the Orange again, letting the Huskies get to within three points of a tie. SU managed to give up just one more point and got kills from Hinz and Noemie Lefebvre to get the win.

The Red Storm came in just as pesky. Syracuse cruised to an easy first-set victory, but then traded points for the entire second set. St. John’s took a 12-10 lead.

SU got the lead back, but the Storm kept clawing back, never getting more than three points away from the tie. The Red Storm found ways to

keep the Orange defense guessing, continuing the battle for Syracuse.

“When they adjusted their offense, we just adjusted our defense,” Ashley Williams said.

That relief was needed for Syracuse. The struggles of late have brought questions of SU’s true ability to contend. Still, some of the tough-

the final set easily, getting to a 19-10 lead. Once again, St. John’s made adjustments. The Red Storm got the score to 21-19, but the Orange got much-needed kills from Hayley Todd and Lindsey McCabe to get the win.

“They definitely adjusted to us,” Todd said.

“That’s going to happen in a game. But we held our own and still won the game.”

SU didn’t get either of these wins without a fight. And at several points, Syracuse almost gave away the lead by struggling to adjust to the other

est conference opponents lie ahead. If these two wins over the weekend did anything, it let SU know it can struggle and still get a win.

Something that could become useful as the season goes on.

DaShonte Riley begun, Boeheim declined to speculate how the injury might affect his lineup and frontcourt depth. With the 6-foot-9 Jackson returning as SU’s starting power forward, it’s possible he, too, could see time in the middle of SU’s 3-2 zone defense with Riley out.

And if he’s done for the season, perhaps the pair of freshmen big men could play a big role for the Orange this year.

“We’ll see how it goes,” Boeheim said.

“If he’s not able to play then, obviously, the freshmen will get a big opportunity to play this year.” aljohn@ syr.edu

Despite shot advantage, SU settles for tie

By Michael Cohen Asst. Copy Editor

Brett Jankouskas outlines the three-part process. The three-part process to scoring goals.

It’s a problem that can’t and won’t be solved overnight. It’s going to take time. And until then, it will surely irritate the Syracuse men’s soccer team. syracuse 0 “At first (this season) depaul 0 we weren’t really getting any shots,” Jankouskas said. “Now we’re getting a good number of shots, and we just need to work on getting them on target.”

Saturday, the Orange succeeded with the first two parts of the process. But still, it failed at the third. And failing at the third yielded yet another result void of three points.

For just the second time all season Saturday, the Orange outshot its opponent, but settled for a 0-0 double overtime tie against DePaul.

It was the third consecutive conference game in which a goal eluded the Orange (2-5-4, 0-1-2 Big East). After Saturday’s tie against DePaul (3-6-3, 0-2-1 Big East), Syracuse has still failed to score a single goal in Big East play. More than 300 minutes — or five full hours — and no goals to show for it. Nearly 40 total shots taken, none of which have beaten a goalkeeper. And although the Orange dominated the Blue Demons in front of 712 fans at the SU Soccer Stadium, it still only came away with one point.

The plus-seven shot differential, 22-15 in favor of SU, was its largest of 2010.

But still, Syracuse couldn’t make the ball

“It’s a little bit of a better feeling when you get outshot and then come out with a tie. But we outshot them, and it’s rough.”

cross the white line.

“Absolutely, it’s frustrating,” midfielder Nick Roydhouse said. “But when you start thinking of it that way, that’s when you start to lose it, and things kind of go off track. We just had to stay positive and keep on pushing for a goal.”

Part one of SU head coach Ian McIntyre’s offensive overhaul saw Syracuse dominated by its opponents. Through the first three games of the season, the Orange had a total of 16 shots.

The offense looked anemic.

But then, slowly but surely, it has started to turn around. Against Cornell, the SU offense exploded for 20 shots and matched that feat six days later against Canisius. Saturday’s 22 were a season-high. The system seems to be taking hold.

“This is back-to-back good performances,” McIntyre said. “If we were sitting here with no points from this, we’d be very disappointed.

Now we have to convert these one-point (games) into three points.”

The way to do that is by scoring, turning

keith edleman | staff photographer brett jankouskas (Left) and Syracuse took 22 shots Saturday night, but couldn’t find the back of the net against DePaul in the 0-0 draw. The Orange is last in the Big East with just eight goals scored in 11 games played. SU has been shut out five times. those 22 shots into a tally on the scoreboard.

Until then, Syracuse won’t move up from last in the Big East in goals scored.

And for much of Saturday’s game, it appeared that Syracuse would break through. In the first half, forward Fredrik Forsman was slotted in behind the Blue Demons defense. All alone with the goalkeeper, Forsman’s left-footed shot soared high and wide of the goal.

“It’s a little bit of a better feeling when you get outshot and then come out with a tie,” midfielder Mark Brode said. “But we outshot them, and it’s rough.”

It was Brode who had the Orange’s best chance to score with under 6:30 to play in regulation. Streaking through the middle of the field, Brode received a perfect cross off the foot of Jankouskas. It hit him in stride just beyond the penalty spot, but his volley soared over the goal.

But this was a game in which the Orange couldn’t catch a break. Twice in the second overtime, it looked as if SU had won the game, only to have the officials stifle those efforts.

Jankouskas was taken down in the penalty area for what looked like a certain penalty kick, but the whistle didn’t blow. Minutes later he scored the game-winning goal after redirecting a Roydhouse shot, only to have it be called back for offsides.

“Going into overtime, we said that one (point) was the minimum,” Roydhouse said.

“We were really pushing for the three points; it’s just unfortunate that we didn’t come away with it.”

Now that the offense is creating those chances, it must keep working to improve the quality.

Most of SU’s 22 shots Saturday didn’t trouble the goalkeeper. And a shot that’s not on target isn’t really a shot at all, said Roydhouse.

More shots on target should lead to more goals. That’s the plan. Step three. “(If we had) a little bit more precision, a little bit of a killing edge in the penalty area, then we win that game,” McIntyre said. “And we may win it by a couple.” mjcohe02@ syr.edu

DRIVE THROUGH

Syracuse marches full field, beats USF for Marrone’s biggest victory

By Brett LoGiurato Asst. Sports Editor

T

AMPA, Fla. — Marcus Sales picked a good time to make his first catch of the season.

There he was, all alone in the middle of the end zone, soon to be mobbed as the recipient of the catch that culminated a game-defining drive. Perhaps season-defining. Perhaps program-defining, in a new era.

With 7:15 left on the clock, quarterback Ryan Nassib — lying on the ground after getting knocked down — pumped his fist in excitement.

It was a drive in which the SU offense went 98 yards in 14 plays, finally ending on first-and-goal from the three-yard line when Nassib watched Sales lose his defender and dart in, eventually finding him in the

middle of the end zone.

Catch No. 1. Did Sales understand the magnitude? What this win, the first for SU in six tries against South Florida, meant for the Syracuse football program? “(We’re) a different Syracuse team,” Sales said.

That drive, and that catch, propelled Syracuse (4-1, 1-0 Big East) to a 13-9 win over South Florida (3-2, 0-1 Big East) Saturday in front of 41,917 at Raymond James Stadium. The Orange’s 4-1 start is its best since 1999.

After a game full of penalties and mistakes for the Orange, that drive was seamless and almost flawless.

SU’s only sustained drive without a penalty came at the most opportune time. When it needed to happen. see usf page 19

Finally, tangible evidence to ‘believe in’ teary Marrone

T courtesy of lucas cannistraci ryan nassib ducks around a defender and scrambles out of the pocket against South Florida Saturday.

Nassib led SU on a 14-play, 98-yard drive to score the game-winning touchdown in a 13-9 victory.

AMPA, Fla. — There was a scene of vindication in the Syracuse locker room.

The moment was six seasons in the making. Chants, song and raucous celebration carried over from the field into the tunnel.

But most telling about this win was the reaction of the man who had waited almost two long years for this to occur. For that time, Doug Marrone has talked about his plan with the same stoic rhetoric. He rarely breaks from character. He is the same Doug Marrone through and through, in the

Riley considering options on injured foot, could miss season

By Andrew L. John Sports Editor

Sophomore center DaShonte Riley could miss the 2010-11 season with an injured foot, Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said Friday.

The foot has bothered the 7-foot Detroit native for a while now, and the team is currently in the process of considering a number of options, Boeheim said.

“There was no one day that it happened,” Boeheim said. “It’s just been sore and gotten more sore as he’s gone along. So we looked at it and found that he has an injury there.”

B o e h e i m described the injuriley ry as similar to a

stress fracture and said no decision has been made as to whether or not Riley will undergo surgery and use a medical redshirt this season. Boeheim said a decision will ultimately be made by the team’s media day on Oct. 15.

Riley was expected to see increased playing time this season after playing sparingly in 17 games as a freshman in 2009. Despite averaging just 1.4

points and 1.5 rebounds per game, he was the primary big man behind starters Rick Jackson and Arinze Onuaku in the SU frontcourt. Riley played valuable minutes in three NCAA Tournament games after Onuaku went out with a knee injury.

Although Boeheim welcomes freshmen big men Baye Moussa Keita and Fab Melo, who was a McDonald’s All-American last year, it was widely

assumed Riley’s role would increase this season. With Onuaku now gone, Boeheim values Riley’s experience in the middle.

“We do have some size,” Boeheim said. “But we’d still like to have DaShonte. He has some experience, and that’s always a factor, always a good thing.”

Because practice hasn’t officially see riley page 20
