Gross talks past, future role Former director of athletics reflects on renaissance time in athletic department

By Brett Samuels news editor

If Syracuse University’s athletic department is a NASCAR team, Daryl Gross said he sees himself as moving from the track to the pit crew.

“I’m happy about what we’ve been able to accomplish,” said Gross, who stepped down last Wednesday after 10 years as director of athletics, in an interview with The Daily Orange.

“Now I can be part of the pit crew and try and help it from the outside and help the institution.”

It wasn’t like ‘because there’s an NCAA problem I’m going to step aside.’ That’s not the reason.

Gross will now serve as vice president and special assistant to the chancellor, and will teach sport management as an adjunct professor in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics.

Managing director of the Carrier Dome Pete Sala is serving as interim director of athletics, and a search committee has at least partially been formed to search for a permanent director.

Gross’ tenure as athletic director spawned strong success in Olympic sports, a significant increase in revenue, the opening of new facilities and the building of SU’s brand as “New York’s College Team.” His time on the job was also filled with divisive moments such as the move from the Big East Conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference, the decision to play home football games at see gross page 8

Lacrosse player arrested after punching 2 people

By Sam Blum and Jessica Iannetta the daily orange

Syracuse redshirt freshman midfielder Hayes McGinley was suspended indefinitely from the team last Sunday for “a violation of team rules,” an SU Athletics spokesman said Sunday afternoon.

McGinley, 20, was arrested on March 14 after he punched a woman, 20, and a man, 29, in the face, giving the woman a bloody lip, Syracuse Police Lt. Eric Carr said in an email.

The arrest happened on the 100 block of Marshall Street at 11:03 p.m., according to a Syracuse police bulletin.

The arrest occurred after the man observed McGinley, who was intoxicated, trying to get into the woman’s car. When the man tried to stop McGinley, McGinley punched him, Carr said.

The woman then came over and got into an argument with McGinley.

McGinley pushed the woman, she hit him and McGinley hit her back, giving her a bloody lip, Carr said.

McGinley was arrested on two charges of harassment in the second degree and held in the Onondaga County Justice Center overnight because he was intoxicated.

He was arraigned the following day, Carr said.

Harassment in the second

degree is a violation and each count is punishable by a maximum fine of $250.

McGinley played in the lacrosse team’s first four games and recorded three shots. He was not on the sideline as the top-ranked Orange (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) defeated No. 4 Duke, 19-7, on Saturday.

“Our program and the athletic department have strict rules and expectations for the behavior of our student athletes,” SU head coach John Desko said in a statement. “He did not meet those expectations.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3 jliannet@syr.edu @JessicaIannetta

Freshman reflects on life after father’s death

By Momin Rafi design editor

When he was 10, Steven McDonald lost his father to asthma-related complications. Without a father figure in his life, McDonald said he plunged into a phase of verbal altercations, fights at school, poor grades and all the disciplinary trouble that followed.

“I was just really hot-headed,” he said. “People could just, I don’t know, they could bump into me and I would take it the wrong way. I was a sh*t-starter.”

McDonald’s half-brother had also lost his dad a year earlier. McDonald said their mother went through an immense amount of stress, working to provide for both her troubled kids as a single mother.

McDonald began turning his life around during his junior year of high school when his mom confessed her feelings to him and his brother, saying, “All I want is for you to try to be someone and to do your best.”

“I kind of decided … I should stop allowing my dad’s death to dictate

my future because all in all I know he wouldn’t want me to go this route in my life,” McDonald said.

Now, the sophomore neuroscience and psychology dual major works to make the most of his fresh start.

McDonald said his focus is staying on top of his grades, and he recently received a resident adviser position for the next school year.

“I didn’t get to where I am now by myself. I had a lot of people guiding me so now I’m at a place where I can finally help others and guide them,” he said.

“Cause it’s not easy—some people lose themselves and they have troubles. I feel like, especially with the RA position, I can give back and I can contribute.”

Looking back on his outbursts in the past, McDonald said he that he had to lash out. He’s more resilient now for it, he said, and he chooses to make something positive out of his father’s passing.

“It was never the fact that I couldn’t do well, or I couldn’t be great. It was just a matter of me not applying myself,” McDonald said. “I’m making her proud and I’m not going to stop.” mrafi@syr.edu | @Mominat0r

College hosts weekend-long national contest

By Danny Mantooth asst. copy editor

The School of Information Studies hosted the Northeast Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition this Friday through Sunday, bringing together possible recruits for cybersecurity companies.

Student teams from 10 schools across the Northeast participated in the weekend-long event. Some of the

schools represented included the University of Maine and the University of Massachusetts at Boston, as well as a team from Syracuse University.

Rochester Institute of Technology won this year’s competition, according to NECCDC’s website.

“The whole concept is to produce the next generation of cybersecurity professionals,” Bahram Attaie said.

Attaie organized and directed this year’s competition at the iSchool. He

said recruiters were present throughout the weekend in search of the next generation of IT professionals.

“There’s a huge shortage and demand is high, and this competition produces exactly the type of recruits that these companies are looking for,” Attaie said.

Attaie said one aspect of this event that particularly benefitted students was that it modeled a real-life IT setting. He said since a typical IT department cannot hack and infiltrate other business’ systems, students learned how IT professionals must always be on the defensive.

Events aim to raise awareness of sexual assault

By Kayli Thompson staff writer

Remaining silent about domestic violence and sexual assault can continue the cycle of violence without interruption. Vera House and Syracuse University come together once a year for White Ribbon Week to

prevent that silence.

“We try and echo out Vera House’s message to take a stand against domestic and sexual violence, as well as provide information about the critical services they offer to the Syracuse community, SU students and Onondaga County at large,” said Paul Ang, a master’s student studying cul-

tural foundations of education and student co-chair of the White Ribbon Campaign, in an email.

White Ribbon Week is officially March 20–29, but Bridget Yule, director of student services and programming services and Vera House board member, said the board takes it beyond just this week. The board coor-

dinated with Vera House to hand out bracelets at the Carrier Dome March 2 to spread awareness.

Other scheduled events will extend into April with the tabling occurring in Schine Atrium through April 31, Yule said. Students will be staffing tables Monday through Friday see white

Two Nu Alpha Phi fraternity members pleaded not guilty in city court on Thursday morning to charges of misdemeanor first-degree hazing, according to Syracuse.com.

The city court judge also ruled that Tae Kim, 19, and Jeffrey Yam, 21, can attend class with Joseph Gallo, the student they are accused of hazing, but must otherwise stay away from him, according to Syracuse.com.

Kim and Yam were arrested on March 4 in connection with a hazing incident that police said happened at about midnight on March 1 in Lower Hookway Park on East Colvin Street. Police said three Nu Alpha Phi pledges, including Gallo, were told to perform pushups and situps and roll in the snow for about 20 minutes for failing to correctly perform their daily duties. The pledges had no gloves on and after finishing the exercises were given hand warmers and told to walk back to the fraternity, police said.

Gallo went to Crouse Hospital the next day, police said, and was told he had severe frostbite on his fingers and might lose his ring and pinkie fingers on both hands. Police later said Gallo will not lose his fingers.

Kim and Yam are due back in court on April 20.

Petition looks to right wrongs of history, put women on currency

W

atch out Andrew Jackson. Women and men all over America are banding together and petitioning to have a woman to take over the $20 bill by the year 2020 — just in time for the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage.

This campaign is a great platform for Americans to take the time to educate themselves on the women who have helped shape this country and vote for whom they believe best represents the women’s rights movement. It is also an opportune moment to signify how far women have come.

W20, or Women on 20s, started its campaign to address the fact that many Americans are not familiar with the leaders of women’s rights campaigns and to give the women of American history the recognition they deserve.

The women who have held a spot on U.S. currency can be counted on one hand: Susan B. Anthony, Sacagawea and Helen Keller. And of those women, the only piece that is still released for circulation is Sacagawea’s golden dollar. But who uses those anyway? On top of all of this, the man on the $20 bill was opposed to paper money.

Jackson may have been the seventh president, but that is where his accolades end. He owned a slave plantation and supported and enforced the Indian Removal Act. The act forcibly moved over a hundred thousand Native Americans from their land east of the Mississippi river out West, so whites could use the land for cultivation. This resulted in thousands of Native American deaths, all for the greed of white Europeans.

the sassy feminist

A woman leader like Sojourner Truth, Margaret Sanger or Harriet Tubman could easily replace Jackson. In addition to these women, there are 12 other candidates who are up for the spot on the $20 bill, according to the Women on 20s website.

Originally, the website had 100 candidates, but after further review, it was able to whittle the list down to 15 women for a public vote.

President Barack Obama has even touched on the issue, “Last week, a young girl wrote to ask me why aren’t there any women on our currency, and then she gave me like a long list of possible women to put on our dollar bills and quarters and stuff — which I thought was a pretty good idea,” he said to a crowd in Kansas City, Missouri last summer.

And there’s a good chance the president will act on that good idea; if the White House petition Women on 20s created reaches 100,000 votes by the end of the month, Obama will then be required to respond. Organizers hope he’ll respond by asking the Secretary of the Treasury to finally even the score. The public should sign this petition and play a part in this debate. It’s time to put your money where your mouth is.

editorial board

Ceremony can’t focus on Clinton scandal Hillary Clinton’s refusal to answer questions at Monday’s award ceremony for the Toner Prize for Excellence in Political Reporting is an appropriate way to honor the ceremony’s purpose.

While three members of The Daily Orange Editorial Board disagreed, the majority feel holding political figures accountable for their actions is necessary, but inappropriate at this particular event.

The Toner Prize is sponsored by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, and is meant to honor the life and work SU alumna Robin Toner. Toner, who graduated in 1976, was the first woman to be the national political correspondent of The New York Times and worked there for nearly 25 years. She died due to complications of colon cancer in

2008 at the age of 54. The Toner Prize, which was first awarded in 2010, recognizes the best political reporting of any medium.

Clinton was invited to the event to discuss Toner and political reporting, not to set the record straight about her own affairs. Clinton is currently amidst political scandal — regarding her use of a personal email address while conducting business at the State Department— and an uncertain presidential candidacy in 2016.

The awards ceremony is not a press conference. And considering the event is open to all press, it’s safe to assume the journalists at the event would be asking Clinton about her scandals, not her interactions with Toner, who covered Clinton’s career for The New York Times. If questions were permitted at the event, tomorrow’s headlines

scribble

would focus on Clinton’s attempt at damage control, not the legacy of a notable journalist.

Disappointment at Clinton’s refusal to take questions is likely because of her current situation.

When Vice President and SU alumnus Joe Biden gave a keynote address at last year’s ceremony, there was little media coverage of the fact that he didn’t take questions.

The Toner awards shouldn’t devolve into a media frenzy about Clinton’s scandals, and the restriction of questions prevents that. Clinton needs to answer to the press about her possible campaign in 2016 and recent controversies, but the Toner Awards are not the place. Instead, the event should celebrate Toner’s legacy and the journalists today who emulate the standards of her life’s work.

Transatlantic flights cannot fit Ryanair’s cost-cutting strategy

T

he seat belt sign has been turned on and passengers should return to their seats.

It’s been a bumpy ride this week for Irish low-cost airline Ryanair.

Last Monday, the company excited transatlantic travelers by announcing $10 flights from Europe to the United States. Sound too good to be true? Apparently Ryanair seemed to think so too and, in a bizarre move, turned the plane around and said it had made a mistake and no such flights were in the works.

And maybe it’s better off that way. Cheap transatlantic flights would have likely spelled disaster for Ryanair.

Several other airlines have attempted budget routes before, with the most recent effort coming from Oslo-based, Norwegian Air Shuttle.

and Gatwick with one-way fares just under $250. That’s about $200 to $300 cheaper than flights from Virgin Atlantic or British Airways, depending on the time of the year and route being travelled.

Since launching its service, Norwegian has swung into the red, losing about $120 million on the project. That’s because the transatlantic route comes with tough business needs. Long haul flights require more fuel and consequently larger planes. Longer routes also limit the number of flights that can booked in a day.

But the biggest challenge with flying over the Atlantic is passenger needs, which is coincidentally Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst. News Editor Lydia Wilson Asst.

Copy Editor Jake Cappuccino Asst. Copy Editor Alex Erdekian Asst. Copy Editor Connor Grossman Asst. Copy Editor Danny Mantooth Asst. Copy Editor Paul Schwedelson Asst. Copy Editor Georgie Silvarole

Ryanair’s biggest problem. Flying from New York to London takes over seven hours, which is a long time to ask passengers to sit in cramped, budget seats. Starting overseas routes would force Ryanair to include business and premium economy sections for travelers wanting more from their flights. But if the company still wants to stick to its one class fits all model, it should at least make the economy seats larger.

These are huge obstacles for Europe’s largest discount airline in terms of number of passengers, which offers fares from London to Oslo for $12.76. The airline’s model keeps ticket prices low by charging for literally everything else. Paying by credit card costs $5 extra. Overweight bags cost $22 extra per kilogram.

Ryanair’s eccentric and looselipped CEO Michael O’Leary once famously said passengers who forget

to print out their boarding pass before arriving at the airport “should pay €60 for being so stupid.” That cost is now €70, by the way.

These are the cost cutting measures that might allow Ryanair to sell transatlantic flights for $10, but they would be an enormously unwelcome strategy for a long-haul flight where comfort becomes more important. Passengers flying so far would want a meal, have larger bags to check and require more legroom.

If the company sticks to its current pricing model for flights from New York to London, it will have to convince passengers that saving money is of paramount priority over being comfortable for seven plus hours.

All of those firm-specific problems will stack on top of the existing industry costs that Norwegian is already learning the hard way on its discount transatlantic flights.

Ryanair released a one-sentence statement Friday saying the company “has not considered or approved any transatlantic project and does not intend to do so.” But O’Leary and the company have long made public their interest in starting the service, which means the ambition is either still very much alive or an elaborate public relations stunt.

If, or perhaps when, Ryanair fuels another round of interest in transatlantic flights, there’s work to be done to make it profitable. Mr. O’Leary might want to follow his own advice, as once tweeted to a Ryanair employee: “get back to work you slacker or you’re fired.”

Paris Noir cut due to enrollment, students create petition

By Alexis Rinck contributing writer

Last Wednesday one of Syracuse University’s summer study abroad programs — Paris Noir — was cut by the university, a decision that has sparked pushback from students.

The 14-year-old program, co-administered by the African American Studies department and SU Abroad, takes students on a five-week trip through Paris exploring Black literature, art and life.

According to the SU Abroad Twitter account, the Paris Noir program was canceled

In addition to the IT portion of the competition, there is a business component, Attaie added.

A team of judges, the white team, scored the student teams on factors such as meeting deadlines and other “real-world scenarios,” he said.

Jeffrey Stanton, interim dean of the iSchool, said in an email while the groups competed against each other, “the primary results were the learning that all of the student members did by having to defend their own networks.”

A petition to bring back the program was started on Change.org by Danielle Reed, a junior Spanish major. The petition currently has 277 signatures.

Nine students who had been accepted to the program were not informed about the potential elimination of the program and the creator and adviser, Janis Mayes, was not notified until the final decision was made, according to the Change.org petition.

It was the third consecutive year the iSchool fielded a team, Stanton said, and hosting the competition brings even more recognition to the school’s programs.

“Many of these programs are interdisciplinary and they showcase the unique strength of Syracuse to offer educational options that cross traditional boundaries,” he said.

The competition not only benefitted the iSchool, but the student participants were able to learn from real-world experience and IT professionals, Stanton said.

Said Stanton: “My personal expectation was that our students would have an unparalleled opportunity to learn from top notch professionals and that expectation was definitely exceeded.” dmantoot@syr.edu

“I just noticed a very alarming road that the new administration has embarked on, and as a member of THE General Body and as an African American student, I have become alarmed of what may come next,” Reed said. “Programs that support minority groups or celebrate diversity have experienced lower enrollment and less financial support from the administration.

Recent developments have made it so specific students must pay more out of pocket to go on the trip. Seventeen students were required for the program this summer and more than that number — 19 students — applied. While there

GOING PLATINUM Gateway Center receives plaque in recognition of its ecofriendly practices

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

O

ne of the main goals when the Gateway Center was constructed on the SUNYESF campus was to achieve the highest standards of environmental friendliness.

That goal was accomplished when the Gateway Center recently received LEED Platinum certification, the highest level of certification and the end-goal during the construction of the Gateway Center. State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry received a plaque last week to commemorate the achievement, which is displayed prominently in the building.

The building serves many purposes; it houses the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the SUNY-ESF outreach staff, event space, the bookstore and a café. To Quentin Wheeler, president of SUNY-ESF, the Gateway Center serves as a gathering space for the campus community.

“ESF strives to practice what it teaches, including sustainability and environmental stewardship,” Wheeler said in an email.

The environmentally friendly design is a teaching tool for ESF students who are studying sustainability and sustainable energy management and additionally showcases the sustainable technologies that are incorporated, Wheeler said.

The creation of the Gateway Center required “seemingly endless planning,” Wheeler said.

SUNY-ESF recently received a plaque, pictured here, for the Gateway Center’s environmentally friendly practices. The plaque is displayed in the Gateway Center, which was built with its envrionmental effects in mind.

Architerra, a Boston-based firm, designed a building that best suited the campus needs and was able to fit the long, narrow site that the campus grounds had to offer. The design from the firm included a combined heat and power system, which provides the campus with 60 percent of its heating needs and 20 percent of its electrical power.

The green roof serves as a research and demonstration project and houses “native plant species from eastern Lake Ontario dunes and alvar pavement barrens at the northeastern end of Lake Ontario.”

The design of the building reduces energy costs and dependence on non-renewable energy on the whole, which has been a focus of building design on the campus for the last few years.

Wheeler said energy and environmental design has increased dramatically as SUNY-ESF has made it a point to add green roofs, solar arrays,

permeable pavement, rain gardens and no-mow zones to the campus and increase the number of vehicles that are powered with clean energy.

All future buildings on campus will be planned with a similar environmentally friendly design in mind, Wheeler said. Additionally, the building also contains display space for specimens from the Roosevelt Wild Life Station and will eventually house museum and work space for the collection, he said.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is a program created by the U.S. Green Building Council that acts as a third-party verification service to set the standard for green building. The buildings are evaluated by a rating system that lists the conditions green buildings must meet and the points associated with each level of the scale.

Wheeler said some of the features that helped

the Gateway Center achieve LEED Platinum certification were site selection, development density and community connectivity, innovation in design and regional property credits that include storm water design and heat island effect.

Wheeler said SUNY-ESF is proud to have accomplished what they set out to do with the construction of the Gateway Center and are pleased to have a high-tech building for students to use to learn about sustainability.

Furthermore, he said he is proud of the central message the creation of the Gateway Center sends.

“It is possible to construct a building that is designed to generate more energy than it consumes,” Wheeler said. “This type of construction is not limited to college campuses. It can be done anywhere.” acalwis@syr.edu

“It wasn’t like ‘because there’s an NCAA problem I’m going to step aside.’ That’s not the reason,” Gross said. “But the noise that comes from that, there’s no reason for us to have any negativity for this program because it’s too good of a program.”

When considering his tenure, Gross said he thinks the positives of the last 10 years won’t be overshadowed by the recent attention from the NCAA report. That’s partly due to the fact that Gross said there are things in the report that are exaggerated compared to reality.

He said the much-publicized meeting that is noted in the report — in which Gross and other athletic department leaders discussed options for keeping Fab Melo eligible — has been portrayed, “like that was some kind of mysterious closed-door meeting.”

“In reality, it’s totally the opposite,” Gross said. “It was totally transparent with members all over the institution, about compliance and integrity and student rights. I understand no good deed goes unpunished, but that’s been characterized in the wrong way.”

What Gross said he wants people to remember about his tenure is that it was a renaissance time for SU Athletics. One key decision that led to that was the move from the Big East to the ACC, which was controversial at the time.

Another contentious decision that Gross

made was the choice to move a home football game each of the past three years to MetLife Stadium. Gross said he realizes people may never understand that decision, it brought plenty of benefits to the school, financially, in growing the SU brand and in recruiting.

While people may disagree with the decisions or not understand them, Gross said they were decisions that had to be made.

Those “unpopular decisions” have led to SU being third in the ACC in revenues. For that reason, and others, Gross said the athletic department is in better shape now than it was 10 years ago. In addition to the financial situation, Gross cited the Carmelo K. Anthony Basketball Center and the Ensley Center as two additions that illustrate the improvement in facilities under his tenure.

However, certain penalties handed down from the NCAA on March 6 threaten to jeopardize the upward trajectory Gross said SU Athletics is on. Those include loss of scholarships in men’s basketball and a five-year probation for the men’s basketball and football programs.

SU is appealing the scholarship reductions, and Gross said the probation shouldn’t be an issue going forward because the athletic department will be “fortified compliance-wise.”

While the future of the athletic department is in flux, Gross’ immediate future involves sharing his experiences with students and using his expertise to assist the university. But for now, he said it’s time to give the athletic department a fresh set of eyes.

“It gives the athletic department a chance to get a different lens on it,” he said.

“A painter like Picasso, he paints a certain style.

You never go into a museum that just has Picassos in it,” Gross said. “It has different painters. So let’s get another one, let’s get a Monet in there.” blsamuel@syr.edu | @Brett_Samuels27

Alumnus declines $2 million BrandYourself refuses deal on ABC’s Shark Tank

By Sarah Richheimer staff writer

A Syracuse University alumnus walked away from a $2 million offer on Friday’s episode of the ABC hit show “Shark Tank.”

Patrick Ambron, a class of 2009 alumnus and one of the co-founders of BrandYourself, an online reputation management company that provides do-it-yourself tools and services to help people improve what shows up in a simple Google search of their name. BrandYourself also offers services where customers can pay someone to manage their online presence.

DOCTOR’S VISI

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Jesse Williams speaks on social justice issues

By Jackie Frere staff writer

J

esse Williams never considered acting his true passion — it was just something he liked to do for fun.

Now, Williams plays the recurring role of Dr. Jackson Avery on the hit television show “Grey’s Anatomy,” but he is also well known for his social justice activism, particularly on social media. Williams spoke to Syracuse University students and faculty on Sunday in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium about his life and issues in society.

The event, “More Than Meets the Eye,” was hosted by the Syracuse University chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists and sold out in less than five hours when tickets went on sale March 16.

The Chicago-born television star is popularly known for his outspoken

activism on Twitter, and can be seen on news outlets CNN and MSNBC discussing national topics, such as the racial tensions in Ferguson, Missouri following Michael Brown being shot by a white police officer.

“How sad is it that telling the truth about stuff that is flagrantly in front of all of us — that makes me controversial?” Williams asked the crowd.

Williams hobbled onto the stage with one crutch in his hand due to a torn ACL and other knee problems that came from playing in this year’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in February. After settling into his seat, he expressed his concerns with the way African-Americans are treated in the media, and reflected on his own experience as a biracial actor.

A popular moment in Williams’ talk was when he discussed the need for children to be taught about the role that minorities and black Amer-

icans played in history. The audience members snapped and vigorously nodded their heads in agreement as he said adults and the media set examples for children, so learn-

I find a staggering amount of material in scripts and shows I want that are unnecessarily racist.

Jesse Williams actor

ing about just one group of people doesn’t benefit anyone.

“The first six auditions I went on were to be street thugs robbing white people. You have no say in this matter. You are a beggar, and beggars can’t be choosers,” Williams said. “I

find a staggering amount of material in scripts and shows I want that are unnecessarily racist.”

Williams said a lot of the roles he auditioned for when he was starting off in the field portrayed black men in a negative light. He said these situations perpetuate stereotypes in society, especially to the younger generation.

Charisse L’Pree Corsbie-Massay, the faculty adviser for the SU NABJ chapter and an assistant professor in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, said NABJ has a history of having great speakers come to Newhouse who leave a lasting impression on students.

“I think (Williams) offers a really unique voice in the intersection of entertainment and social justice.

Often when we think about social justice we think about it as its own entity, as ‘Oh, who’s doing that?’” L’Pree

On the show, Ambron asked the investors of the show, called sharks, for a $2 million investment in exchange for a 13.5 percent stake in the company. Robert Herjavec, one of the sharks, saw potential in BrandYourself and counteroffered Ambron by asking for a 25 percent stake in the company for $2 million.

Ambron turned down Herjavec’s offer and left the tank.

Artist Pharrell Williams doesn’t deserve CFDA Fashion Icon Award

W

hen I hear the name Pharrell Williams, the two things that automatically come to mind are his hit song “Happy” and the oversized, sack-like Vivienne Westwood hat that he wore to the Grammys last year.

Never do I think fashion icon when I hear his name, which is why it was a little surprising to hear that the Council of Fashion Designers of America gave him the 2015 Fashion Icon Award. He will receive his award at the CFDA Fashion Awards this upcoming June.

The Fashion Icon Award celebrates an individual whose style has had an influence on

ALEXIS MCDONELL

I’LL HAVE WHAT THEY’RE WEARING popular culture on an international stage. Previous winners include Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Kate Moss. Pharrell makes up part of the small population of men who have taken the award, as he is the second male recipient with Johnny Depp previously winning in 2012.

So then why did Pharrell win the award?

“If cool was a person, it would be Pharrell, not just for his looks and sense of style but for his kindness and openness. I cannot imagine anyone not seduced by him,” said designer Diane von Furstenberg, president of the CFDA, on the organization’s website on March 18.

Pharrell has also invested a lot of his interest into fashion. He has collaborated with brands such as Uniqlo, Adidas, Moynat and Moncler. He co-founded the clothing brands

Billionaire Boys Club and ICECREAM. He has a New York City boutique and has co-designed jewelry and eyeglasses for Louis Vuitton.

So in reality, it looks like Pharrell has actually done a lot for the fashion world. It has just mainly gone unnoticed from most of the public. Or maybe that’s just me — but I read a lot about fashion.

Looking at his style profile, you would see an array of short suits, which is a suit with shorts instead of pants, camouflage, statement jackets, whimsical prints — which are often paired with two or three other prints which look nothing alike — lots of accessories, denim on denim and hats that are larger than his head.

Keeping this in mind, I can see why they would choose Pharrell as a style icon — his outfits contain many items that are on trend and he doesn’t confine his style into a narrow little box. He takes lots of risks with his wardrobe — which either goes really well or really bad. He invests in others designers’ fashion as well as his own.

But while I can understand their decision, I don’t necessarily agree with it. He may imple-

ment trends, but in no way do I really think of him as stylish. His style is way too eclectic for my taste and in many ways I think he is trying to bring back fashions from the past that should really stay there — his shorts tuxedos being one of my least favorites.

There are a few times when I find Pharrell to be extremely stylish. These times are often when he takes his outfits down a notch and wears a slick, sophisticated looking suit or jeans and a button down. I think he looks most stylish when his outfits are more simplified. More times than not, his outfit has too many layers that make it look like he closed his eyes and randomly picked items out of his closet to wear.

It will be interesting to see what Pharrell wears to the CFDA awards. Last year Rihanna wore her famous — or infamous — see-through dress covered in thousands of tiny rhinestones.

Let’s see if Pharrell can wear something to top that and be worthy of an award.

community,” Smith said. “Jesse Williams is an actor, and most people know that about him, but he also does a lot of activism online, so that that just feeds into our message.”

At the end of the discussion, Williams took questions from Twitter that the audience sent in using #NABJ2Jesse. He encouraged students who come from poorer neighborhoods to stand up and help expose their daily lives to those who haven’t experienced it and may not understand.

Williams said students have a responsibility to “not f*ck up” and to share the truth about the situations they grew up in.

Said Williams: “What are you doing now? What are you preparing to do? That’s all that matters.”

williams Corsbie-Massay said. “But, rather, it should be everybody’s responsibility and I think he demonstrates, quite expertly, how to integrate your own passions with social justice.”

Wayne Smith III, the president of the Syracuse NABJ chapter and a senior information management and technology major, said it was bittersweet that this was the last event he led for the organization. Smith considered it a huge success, and hoped that future events will be just as popular.

shark tank just couldn’t agree to their terms.”

Since the episode aired, Kistler said BrandYourself has reached the mainstream audience he had hoped to capture by going on the show. The website received hundreds of thousands of views over the weekend and the phones were ringing off the hook, he said.

Kistler collaborated with co-founders and college friends Ambron and Evan McGowan-Watson to create the company after he applied for a job and received an unexpected rejection letter — when potential employers Googled him, they were getting results about a criminal with the same name.

Kistler said he and his partners applied — along with 10,000 other applicants — to earn a spot on “Shark Tank.”

“It was a seriously intense process. Months and months long, signing document after document and several interviews later, we were notified that Patrick would be flown out for a week to pitch the sharks,” Kistler said.

Kistler said the 50 staff members at BrandYourself were in the office 14 hours a day in the days leading up to the airing. He said following Friday’s episode, they had a huge spike in sales.

BrandYourself spoke with previous “Shark

Tank” contestants and made sure the team was well prepared for the chaotic office after the episode’s airing. Kistler said the team increased their phone supply and updated their website to handle the volume.

On the day of airing, the company’s new site design was launched. “Shark Tank” viewers were given 10 percent off using the promo code “sharkbite.”

The BrandYourself software idea arose independently of SU, but faculty in the School of Information Studies and resources available through the university were hugely beneficial, Kistler said.

“We did the Panasci Business Plan Competition and won $10,000, which helped us really early on,” said Kistler. “We were a part of the Student Sandbox, and the Tech Garden — joined between SU and the city of Syracuse — gave us a space to brainstorm.”

Despite not reaching a deal with the sharks, BrandYourself is going to continue creating more products, Kistler said. He said the company aims to continue making the do-it-yourself tools more powerful and easy to use.

“It’s just been crazy,” Kistler said. “To reach a mainstream audience with the show was huge for us.” sbrichhe@syr.edu — Asst. Feature Editor Kait Hobson contributed reporting to this article.

thai Erawan Thai Restaurant serves large dishes with overpowering flavors

Erawan’s Thai Restraunt’s spicy pad ki mao with chicken is comprised of large rice noodles fried with egg, oyster sauce, tomato, onion, sweet basil leaves, chili peppers, snow peas, Napa cabbage and broccoli. Many of the dishes served at Erawan Thai Restaurant had overwhelming flavors, which made some of them hard to finish. jackie barr staff photographer

I

n Hinduism, the elephant god Ganesh is worshipped as a remover of obstacles, a deity of prosperity and the lord of new beginnings. At Erawan Thai Restaurant, the elephant seems to be a common motif, as the walls, counter and hanging mobile decorations are covered in elephants.

Unfortunately I didn’t feel prosperous while eating at the restaurant. Everything — from the soft pink tablecloths and matching napkins, to the food, to the teapots lining the shelves on the counter — was beautifully presented, but each dish contained flavors insistent on overpowering all the others.

To start things off, I ordered the paw peea sod appetizer — a single rice paper roll stuffed with pork, shrimp, lettuce and coriander.

It looked like a little work of art. Placed on a rectangular flat dish, the translucent rice paper was messily spiraled around the large lettuce leaves, visible shrimp and red marinated pork. It

was accompanied with a clear, sweet sauce with little chunks of peanuts and red chili seeds floating on the surface.

On biting into the paw peea sod, I could really taste only the lettuce leaves. While the lettuce was fresh and crunchy, there was so much of it that the rice roll tasted bland and watery. The dipping

different taste

Here are other Thai restaurants around Syracuse:

• appeThaizing • Thai Flavor • Lao Village • Sweet Basil Thai House • Lemon Grass • Bangkok Thai Restaurant sauce was only subtly flavored and wasn’t enough to infuse the spicy chili taste onto the wrap.

I also asked for a Thai favorite of mine, the shrimp tom kha gai soup with a roll. This is a spicy coconut milk broth with lime juice, galanga, lemon grass, straw mushrooms and coriander.

Upon arrival at the table, it smelled amazing.

The creamy liquid was sprinkled with little green leaves and had two big straw mushrooms and shrimp floating beneath the surface. The initial taste was great, but after a few more, the lime juice became overwheleming. It was just too tangy-sweet to finish.

The waitress was lovely and was happy to take time with us and joke over the menu options.

Surprisingly, she did not recommend the pad thai when I asked. I really appreciated this, as pad thai is usually considered the token Thai dish. She said the menu catered to both sweet and spicy flavors.

I chose the spicy pad ki mao, and she suggested having it with chicken. This dish was comprised of large rice noodles fried with egg, oyster sauce, tomato, onion, sweet basil leaves, chili pepper, snow peas, napa cabbage and broccoli.

It was a vibrant and colorful dish. The noodles were wide, long, tender and chewy. They were lightly covered in the oyster sauce, and there was a lot of cabbage in the meal. As a lessthan-avid cabbage fan, I could have done with a smaller quantity of the vegetable. The tomatoes were grilled, and their flavor in the dish seemed

awkward and out of place. The dish would have been better without them.

From the sweet side of things, the waitress told me that everyone always orders and loves the gai pad pak lad nam satay. It’s a vegetable dish comprised of broccoli, snow peas, straw mushrooms, baby corn and napa cabbage. I chose the meat, and the entire meal was generously drizzled in a peanut satay sauce and served with a side of rice.

The rice was beautifully presented in a giant silver pot that I wish I had in my kitchen at home.

I could see why this is a popular dish.

The vegetables are vibrant green from being steamed and taste so fresh. Served over rice, it’s a really healthy and clean meal. However, I found the satay sauce just too strong in peanut flavor. As a result I wouldn’t have been able to finish the dish by myself.

All the dishes had very generous servings.

But the dishes were overpowered by their respective flavors, and for that reason, I would suggest ordering a few to share for your table, as any one dish is hard to finish alone. rlascheb@syr.edu

jones ahead, which cut off shooting angles and forced the Blue Devils midfielder to swing the ball around the back of the net or move it back to the top of the key.

“Peter’s been playing great,” Desko said.

“He did a great job once again today and that was plan and we were going to have to slide to him more at plan B. “But we didn’t have to do plan B much today.”

He didn’t let Jones find space early and often forced errant shots, ones that were deflected or passes that sometimes didn’t even hit the stick of a teammate.

They knew kind of where we like to go with the ball and our tendencies so they covered up everything really well.

Myles Jones duke midfielder

After the visitors finally got on the board to make it 5-1, Jones began to head onto the field after the ensuing faceoff. But a violation was called on Duke’s Jack Rowe, and Jones turned his head while slowly walking back to his position next to Danowski.

Later in the game, Jones dodged down the left alley, only to throw the ball out of bounds on an intended pass. He once again exited the field, and yelled to himself with his head down.

“We got frustrated not having the ball,” Jones said. “It really affected us going down in the first quarter and the wheels came off the bus after that.”

Every time Jones got the ball, an SU fan yelled, “Shoot it.”

Jones never listened, and often ran around looking for an opening, but to no avail.

Danowski said Jones was forcing passes and shots too much, and specifically struggled when dropping the head of his stick on a shot.

It’s something that hurt the team when it was already in a deep deficit, the head coach said, but a struggle that should be expected of a 22-year-old.

But the culminating moment in Jones’ inefficient day was something hardly expected.

Early in the fourth quarter, he fought for a ground ball near midfield.

Syracuse defender Brandon Mullins approached the scrum and laid out Jones, who fell to the turf flat on his back and was left watching as the Orange countered the other way.

“A player like Jones — you’ve got to really slide hard to him or else you’re probably going to get knocked over yourself,” Mullins said. “We were going to slide pretty early to them and I think our game plan was pretty successful.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

northwestern its last chances to tie the game. Mupo, who scored five goals, led NU past the Orange in the first half and provided an answer to SU’s threats.

“We couldn’t quite get to that tie situation and battle back. We kept making our runs and getting a couple goals,” Gait said. “We just need to try and continue to make shots and get back to that next level. We just didn’t get that done today.”

We just need to try and continue to make shots and get back to that next level. We just didn’t get that done today.

Gary Gait su head coach

After playing to a 3-3 tie in the game’s first 10 minutes, NU scored three goals in three minutes to temporarily pull away from the Orange. With the score 6-3, SU recovered

with two goals in a little more than a minute.

But Mupo found holes in the Orange’s defense and rebuffed SU’s comeback twice.

Finding herself all alone against SU goalie Kelsey Richardson with 12 minutes and two minutes left in the first half, Mupo ripped two goals past Richardson, the latter of which gave Northwestern its 8-6 halftime lead.

In the second half, the teams traded goals until Cross cut NU’s lead to 11-10 with 9:50 left. But after an SU timeout, attack Kailah Kempney threw the ball out of bounds on the ensuing restart.

“We scrapped, we gave ourselves a chance,” Gait said. “We had at least three chances to tie the game and we didn’t get it done.”

With 5:24 left in the game, Cross intercepted an NU pass and SU successfully cleared the ball. As Syracuse passed the ball around, the Wildcats were called for a three-second violation. Riley Donahue took the Orange’s free position and fired it high.

Bianco cleanly saved it and cleared the ball.

The score held through NU’s final game of keep-away.

“It was a tough game,” Gait said. “… We just came up short at the end.” cjlibona@syr.edu

When Randy Staats jumped in the air to celebrate a fourth-quarter goal against Johns Hopkins last week, John Desko didn’t know his starting attack had sustained an injury three quarters earlier that will likely keep him out for more than a week.

“He was about a foot and a half off the ground, so maybe he could’ve played today,” Desko joked.

Staats missed Sunday’s game against Duke with a lower-body injury and in his place, second-line midfielder Tim Barber, making his first start of the year, logged a goal and an assist in No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) in the Carrier Dome on Sunday afternoon.

“I can’t tell you how long he’s going to be out.

I’m hoping just a week or two but we’ll see,” Desko, the SU head coach, said of Staats. “I doubt it, I doubt it next week. It’s just an injury that takes time and everybody responds to it differently.”

In the third quarter, Barber — the reigning

Junior College Offensive Player of the Year at Onondaga Community College — spun off Duke defender Greg Pelton on the right side of the goal, fired a shot off his left foot and did a windmill motion with his right fist after the ball found the back of the net.

“You’re playing without a guy like Randy, everyone else has to step up and elevate their game,” attack Kevin Rice said. “Timmy Barber did a really good job stepping up.”

Desko used Jordan Evans sparingly on attack as well — not as much as the head coach would’ve liked — but Barber was the main replacement for SU’s second-leading goal-scorer.

And as was shown by the Orange’s 19 goals, there was by no means a drop-off in production with the insertion of the OCC transfer.

“He was even unselfish, I wish he would’ve taken it a couple more times,” Desko said of Barber. “But I think getting out there for the first time with Dylan (Donahue) and Kevin and they were getting the job done.

“Very happy with his performance.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

SU can’t convert on chances in 7-0 loss to No. 15 Clemson

By Kevin Pacelli staff writer

After losing the doubles point, Syracuse played aggressively in singles play as it tried to win its four necessary singles points.

For a while, clemson 7 the effort had syracuse 0 potential. Amanda Rodgers was in a battle of service holds.

Rhiann Newborn was up by a solid margin.

Breanna Bachini and Nicole Mitchell were within a game in their respective first sets.

But no one could convert on their opportunity, and as a result, Syracuse (6-8, 1-7 Atlantic Coast) was swept by No. 15 Clemson(10-6, 5-2) , 7-0, on Sunday afternoon at Drumlins Tennis Center. It was the team’s fourth-consecutive loss and seventh loss in its last eight matches.

Newborn, who was the only Orange player

to take a set, started her match strongly with big serves and hard groundstrokes. Her first breakthrough came when she won a long baseline rally on her opponent’s unforced error to go up a break, at which point she screamed in celebration.

But she eventually dropped the second set after going up a break and lost the ensuing super tiebreaker.

Rodgers had experienced a similar turn of events in her match. In the first set, she and her opponent had held their serves through the first nine games before Rodgers was broken when down 5-4 to lose the set.

SU head coach Younes Limam said that that game went sour because Rodgers did not capitalize on her strengths. “… If I go back to that game at 5-4,” Limam said, “I remember her having two middle balls that she could have used her forehand on and

she hit them with her backhand, a double fault where she didn’t accelerate with her second serve on.”

From there, the match went downhill for Rodgers.

Her opponent dominated the second set, losing only one game to Rodgers, who hit more unforced errors than she had in the first set. She said that her game did not feel quite right, and also that her opponent capitalized on her success.

“She definitely carried the momentum over from the first set into the second set, and her serves were on today,” Rodgers said, “so there was not much I could do on her service games in the second set.”

Rodgers said she faced difficulty when returning her opponent’s serve because it was hard to predict where it would go, even though she can often guess where a serve will

land with some success based on the toss. She also said that her opponent’s second serve was strong.

Mitchell was another player who found herself in a tight first set, but she wasn’t able to win a game in the second as her opponent concluded the match with a 6-0 victory.

“She just came out on top,” Mitchell said, “… she just won the bigger points in the end.”

Bachini and Mitchell shared the same 6-4, 6-0 final score.

It was a tough loss for the Orange, which hasn’t won a match since March 1 against Pittsburgh. But Limam finds hope in the solid play that he did see on Sunday.

“We’re right there,” Limam said. “We just need to play at that level for a longer period of time, and I think that’s what made the difference today in our match.” kjpacell@syr.edu

Newborn drops match after early lead as Orange falls to Tigers

By Michael Burke contributing writer

Up 4-3 in the second set against Clemson’s Beatrice Gumulya, sophomore Rhiann Newborn had an opportunity to do what no other Syracuse singles player could on Sunday.

Having notched the first set 6-3, Newborn was already the only Syracuse player to win a set. Now, she was only two games shy of preventing the Orange from being swept by the Tigers.

But Newborn lost three of the next four games and dropped the set, 7-5. She then fell 10-5 in the super tiebreaker, and Syracuse (6-8, 1-7 Atlantic Coast) had suddenly suffered a 7-0 shutout loss for the second time in as many matches, this time to No. 15 Clemson (10-6, 5-2) at Drumlins Tennis Center.

“I just felt like I hit more errors than normally,” Newborn said of the second set and tiebreaker. “I also felt like I kind of backed up, and I was just rallying more, trying to be more consistent instead of playing aggressive like I was in the first set.

“If I just kept playing aggressive, that would’ve been a different match.”

Newborn opened her match playing near f lawless tennis. Limiting unforced errors and using an array of aggressive shots both from the baseline and at the net, she grabbed a 5-1 lead before closing out the set three games later.

“She played very good tennis,” SU head coach Younes Limam said. “She was being aggressive, and she really relies on her strengths. She was using her forehand more.

Her first-serve percentage was high. That’s what really allowed her to come through in the first set.”

For much of the second set, it appeared as if Newborn would cruise to an easy win. She went up a break almost immediately when she broke Gumulya’s serve in the third game.

From there, she only needed to hold serve to win the match.

But Newborn dropped a game on serve at 4-3 and then again at 5-6, allowing Gumulya to win the set. While trailing 4-5, Newborn fended off five set points before ultimately losing the game.

“It makes it tougher,” Newborn said about continually being down set point. “... But I just had to keep fighting and doing my best.”

In the super tiebreaker, Newborn took a 3-0

lead before dropping 10 of the next 12 points to lose the match. In both the second set and tiebreaker, she came out on the wrong end of several long rallies.

“I think she was fighting the whole way,” freshman Nicole Mitchell said. “(Gumulya) just got back a lot of really great shots, so I don’t know if it’s anything Rhiann did wrong.

The other girl just came out on top.”

Newborn’s match was the last of the six singles matches to finish. No other Syracuse player managed to win more than seven total games. Newborn won 11. And even after a loss, she made an effort to stay optimistic.

“I’m going to be positive,” she said. “... I’m going to take away from this all of the positive things I did in the first set.” mdburk01@syr.edu

two teams have come and gone. This is a different team.”

Syracuse struggled to get going offensively on its first possession. First, Hakeem Lecky forced a shot well to the right of the goal. Then Dylan Donahue was hounded and released a bouncer that Duke goalkeeper Luke Aaron didn’t need to touch. Nicky Galasso took a shot that sailed well over the goal and out of bounds.

The Orange missed six shots before midfielder Henry Schoonmaker connected from nearly 20 yards out to put SU on top.

From that point on, Ben Williams won 11-straight faceoffs, the last of which culminated in a Lecky goal on a running shot from the right of the goal to put Syracuse up 10-1.

And by that time, with just over 20 minutes of game action elapsed, the Orange celebrations had become more subdued.

south carolina by four points after leading by 10 with seven minutes to go.

Eventually, SU did earn the rematch, but on Sunday it squandered its chance at rebuttal. The Orange (22-10, 11-5 Atlantic Coast) was obliterated by the Gamecocks (32-2, 15-1 Southeastern), 97-68, at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina. The defeat marks the second consecutive year SU’s season in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

“Early on we really wanted to get out and pressure, but we got down six fouls to one and there was nowhere to go from there,” Syracuse head coach Quentin Hillsman said. “When one of your best players (Briana Day) is out of the game against one of the top interior teams in the country, you’re going to struggle.”

South Carolina began to pull its starters with seven minutes to go, and at one point led by as many as 31. The Gamecocks’ 97 points set the NCAA tournament single-game record for most points.

SU point guard Alexis Peterson scored 23 points for the Orange, which ties Kayla Alexander (2010–13) for the most points scored by an SU player in an NCAA tournament game.

But the Orange had just three players in double digits compared to six South Carolina players scoring 12 points or more.

Peterson scored five early points for the Orange, but the Gamecocks went on a 9-2 run on the shoulders of Asia Dozier, who the Orange left wide open before she made her first three 3-point attempts. Day recorded two quick fouls, and was replaced by Bria Day

“It was definitely surprising, especially watching Duke earlier this year, they seemed like they were doing pretty well,” Schoonmaker said. “I definitely thought it was going to be a little more of a battle than it was.”

Attack Kevin Rice said Syracuse played aggressively and did a good job taking the Duke defense where the Syracuse offense wanted it to go.

Danowski said his team prepared for everything Syracuse did, but not at the speed that Syracuse does it.

Last season, Duke used its home field as its platform to prove that it was among the nation’s best, blowing out the then-No. 6 Orange by 14 goals. On Sunday, just one day before the one-year anniversary, Syracuse did the same thing to its ACC rival.

And as the clock ticked out on the Orange’s best win of the season, the 11,408 in attendance — SU’s largest home crowd in more than six years — rose to their feet. Very few had left, despite the lopsided score.

just 3:50 in.

After an initial wave of shooting from the outside, the Gamecocks pounded the paint with 6-foot-4 center Alaina Coates and 6-foot forward Aleighsa Welch.

The two combined for 20 first-half points as USC took a 53-25 lead into the break — a stretch during which five SU players had committed two or more fouls.

Hillsman said it was difficult for his team to play pressure defense when it kept committing fouls, and was forced to sit back unconventionally in its 2-3 zone.

“It was really tough to play that way,” Hillsman said. “It’s not what we do.”

The second half was just a formality, even though at one point the Orange cut its deficit to 20.

Since an SU-USC matchup became a possibility last Monday, it’s been talked about ad nauseam. It was the third question asked to Cornelia Fondren during her post-selection show media availability, the fourth question asked to Peterson and Briana Day talked about it before she was even asked.

SU players answered questions with the typical “taking one game at a time” answer, but then commented on South Carolina anyway.

But Coates, speaking to reporters, also called it a redemption game — a chance to prove USC was more than four points better than Syracuse.

The Gamecocks proved that, and more.

“Revenge game, I never thought it was like that,” Hillsman said. “I just thought South Carolina was a very good basketball team we’d already played. And they won the game.” jmhyber@syr.edu

say,” Danowski said. “We got taken out to the woodshed. Syracuse was terrific.” sblum@syr.edu | @SamBlum3

GIVING THEM HELL No. 1 Syracuse makes statement in 19-7 dismantling of No. 4 Duke

By Sam Blum asst. sports editor

N

either John Danowski nor John Desko had an explanation.

As the two head coaches conversed following Syracuse’s 19-7 win on Sunday over Duke in the Carrier Dome, they reflected on the two teams’ matchup almost a year ago to the date, when the Blue Devils embarrassed the Orange, 21-7.

“You give credit to where credit’s due,” said Desko, the SU head coach. “And we played extremely well here and they played extremely well down there. … We weren’t sure what it is.”

On Sunday, No. 1 Syracuse (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) solidified itself as the nation’s best and only remaining undefeated team. It dominated in nearly every aspect of the game in the first half. It won 13 of the first 16 faceoffs. It took 34

Danowski said it was the worstcoached Duke team he’s ever been a part of, and told his players that the final score was a reflection on him.

He said he was worried that this kind of game might happen before it started, given the gap in experience between the two teams.

SU holds star midfielder Jones to 1 point in victory Matt Schneidman asst. sports editor

Myles Jones finally evaded a Syracuse double team, but it still went wrong for him.

The Duke midfielder struggled with SU’s pressure all game and even after finding an opening late in the third quarter, he was called for a push-off and slowly jogged

off the field while mouthing words back at the referee.

“I thought Myles a couple times tried to dodge into doubles and just didn’t make the simple pass, the easy pass,” Blue Devils head coach John Danowski said. “Sometimes you have to let the game come to you.”

Jones came into Sunday’s game ranking fourth in the country — and first among midfielders

— in points per game. But the SU defense held Jones, who is highly regarded as the best in the nation at his position, to a lone assist and no goals on a team-high eight shots in No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) in front of 11,408 in the Carrier Dome.

“Syracuse had a really good game plan for our offense,” Jones

said. “They knew kind of where we like to go with the ball and our tendencies so they covered up everything really well.”

To start the game, SU head coach John Desko put Peter Macartney on Jones, who has three inches and 54 pounds on the Syracuse senior.

Orange fails to convert in 11-10 loss

By Chris Libonati staff writer

As Taylor Gait cleared the ball with about 2:30 left in Syracuse’s game against Northwestern, Wildcats attack K a r a syracuse 10 M u p o northwestern 11 swung her stick, just missing Gait’s head.

The missed check was enough to draw a yellow card, which gave the Orange an extra player and a chance to tie the game. SU worked the ball around until Kelly Cross promptly sent a high shot at goalie Bridget Bianco, who saved it.

“We didn’t finish our shots,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “So when we had opportunities to make plays, we didn’t make one on the offensive end.”

The save ended the Orange’s last attempt at a comeback and No. 5 SU (8-3, 1-1 Atlantic Coast) lost 11-10 to No. 6 NU (5-2) in Evanston, Illinois on Sunday. The Orange squandered see northwestern page 12
