Chuck’s files lawsuit

By Jacob Gedetsis enterprise editor

Student-favorite bar Hungry Chuck’s has filed a lawsuit in Onondaga County Supreme Court seeking to prevent the bar from being forced out of its current space.

Landlord and developer Syracuse 727 LLC gave Chuck’s a termination notice last month. Developers need Chuck’s to vacate its property to move forward with a project that would see the demolition of the structures at 727 S. Crouse Ave. — where Chuck’s is located — and the construction of an eight-story mixed-use building.

Chuck’s is challenging the lease termination because it does not believe that Syracuse 727 LLC has the necessary permits to begin construction, may not have the necessary financing to support the project and may not yet hold a title to one of the properties where the project will be built, according to the lawsuit.

Jared Hutter, co-owner of Syracuse 727 LLC, said those claims were “absolutely false” and that he would let the courts “handle that.”

Hungry Chuck’s owner Steve Theobald was unable to comment

Jewish community stays alert after threats

By Anna Merod asst. web editor

The first thing that greets visitors before they walk into the Jewish Community Center of Syracuse are bright yellow stickers on its front doors, warning of camera surveillance and a ban of all shotguns, firearms or rifles.

Now that the center, located in DeWitt, has received three terrorist threats since January, visitors will soon have to walk through a completely new entrance where they will also have to buzz in, said Linda Alexander, president and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Central New York.

In January the Syracuse JCC received two anonymous phone

calls threatening to bomb the center, causing everyone in the building to evacuate. More recently, another threatening anonymous phone call was made to the Syracuse JCC on March 7, causing the center to go on lockdown. No one had to evacuate during the third threat.

“No one’s had this happen before,” said Alexander, referring to the threats made to several JCCs in central New York. Alexander has been involved with the Jewish Federation of CNY for about 15 years.

The Syracuse JCC is not the only center in central New York to receive threats. In Albany, a JCC received two bomb threats as of February. In March, a JCC in Rochester had to evacuate twice

after the center received multiple bomb threats via email. On top of that, a Jewish cemetery in Rochester was vandalized on March 3.

The bomb threats are a part of a national wave of terror threats against Jewish institutions. As of March 15, there have been a total of 166 bomb threats made against Jewish institutions across 38 states and 3 Canadian provinces, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

For two months, there were no suspects arrested in connection to the stream of threats. But on Thursday, FBI and Israeli officials arrested a 19-year-old man as a suspect connected to the series of bomb threats in the U.S., NBC News reported. The unidentified man,

who is also Jewish, holds dual citizenship in the U.S. and Israel. The suspect’s motive remains unclear, but his lawyer said he suffers from a brain tumor that impacts his cognitive functions, according to NBC. The uptick in hate crimes in the local area has caused many JCCs, including the one in Syracuse and the Winnick Hillel Center for Jewish Life at Syracuse University, to increase their security measures.

Brian Small, the executive director of SU’s Hillel, visits the JCC in Syracuse once a week to teach a Hebrew high school class about applying to colleges as a Jewish student. He also said he meets regularly with leaders in

A “procedural error” that occurred during the Student Association’s operating budget approval process violated articles of SA’s constitution and bylaws.

The revelation came at SA’s March 20 meeting, when president Eric Evangelista said he submitted his annual budget proposal to the organization’s Finance Board without prior approval from the cabinet and assembly.

“A part of the bylaws states that it does have to be reviewed by assembly and cabinet before being submitted,” Evangelista said at the meeting, referring to the budget.

“That is not only something I did not know, that was something my two predecessors did not do and did not convey to me either.”

Tours in Iraq, Africa prepared junior for college

By Rachel Gilbert

development editor

When Tron Bosse walked off the helicopter, he immediately heard the sound of gunfire. It was 2005 and he was on his first tour of Iraq.

Bosse is now a junior policy studies and history dual major at Syracuse University. A smile washed over his face as he admitted he is considering adding a third major.

The military prepared him for college, he said. After finishing up high school, he wanted to leave home as fast as possible, but college wasn’t right for him at the time. So, a 17-yearold Bosse set his sights on the military. He wanted to see the world.

Transitioning back to civilian life has brought big changes, Bosse said. In Iraq, he always had a weapon on him.

“Your first day back, you wake up and automatically check, ‘where’s my M-16,’ but then you realize you’re back in the States,” Bosse said.

Bosse always knew he wanted to go to college, and now that he is back in the United States, he can be found poring over his books before classes.

He wants to go to law school after graduating — hopefully at SU, he said, grinning and crossing his fingers.

When SU students learn that Bosse is older than the typical college student, they don’t treat him any differently. When they learn he is a military man however, the questions start. Some of his stories surprise them, he said, describing how a Humvee he was riding in Iraq was once hit.

SU has always been welcoming to him, Bosse said. When he was younger, he had always looked to SU

as a possibility. He admired John Wallace, the basketball player, and wanted to follow in his footsteps. It wasn’t until he had completed two tours of Iraq and a tour of Africa that he decided to move up north.

Although he was born in the U.S. Virgin Islands, and raised in Texas, Bosse came prepared for the weath-

er, having experienced extreme weather conditions before.

“One time in Iraq we left where it was 110 degrees and we landed in Maine where there was two feet of snow outside,” Bosse chuckled. “You just have to be ready to deal with whatever the weather throws at you.”

“Discipline is really the ability to choose between what you want now, and what you want the most,” Bosse said. “To me, that’s discipline.” rcgilber@syr.edu

Students question university’s health mandate

By Megan Falk

contributing writer

Joanna Cabrera opened her mailbox in Boston to find a letter from Syracuse University less than a month away from the beginning of her freshman year.

It was neither about her roommate assignment nor a brochure about orientation. Rather it was a bill for $2,230 — and the letter said the university had rejected her health insurance and that Cabrera would have to buy insurance from SU to enroll.

“Had I known, I probably would have gone to a state school where my health insurance applied,” Cabrera said.

Now a sophomore, Cabrera is one of the 5,587 students on the SU Health Insurance Plan as a result of being compliant with the Affordable Care Act that require all incoming students have a U.S.-based health insurance plan.

Under the mandate, which was announced two years ago this month, students must provide documentation of qualifying insurance coverage to the university or they will be automatically enrolled on the university’s health insurance plan, said Kathleen Coughlin, associate director of health services.

This requirement — which expanded to all full-time students this year — has created confusion among some in the SU community. This is partly because more than 800 SU students were forced on to the university’s plan despite already paying for private insurance, and the university insists its insurance broker rejected some private insurance inappropriately.

The university was prompted to create an insurance program after seeing uninsured students take leaves of absence due to large medical bills from unexpected illnesses and accidents, Coughlin said.

“I understand the upfront costs can seem so high, but the reason you have insurance is because of something that you don’t expect to happen,” she said.

I’d rather have the opportunity to choose my own way instead of somebody saying, ‘This is what you have to do because it’s better for you, because I told you so.’

Stephanie Cox senior entrepreneurship and marketing double major

SU’s insurance premium is proportionate to the rates at other universities, where plans range from $2,000 to $2,400 per year, and insurance through the free market would cost much more, Coughlin said.

SU has contracted the Aetna insurance provider, and students on the plan are covered in the Syracuse area and have access to services like physical therapy, mental health resources and drug rehabilitation, among other things.

The plan also covers worldwide evacuation, which allows family members to retrieve a sick or injured student from out of the country and bring them back to the states without paying a fee, which is a key benefit for international students, Coughlin said.

Many international students previously purchased traveler’s insurance while studying in the United States, but now choose to be on the university’s plan to receive access to immunizations that are not available or are more expensive in their home country, Coughlin said.

But for the 866 students like Cabrera whose health insurance waivers were denied last year, being forced to pay for two plans raises concern. Cabrera currently has insurance through both her local provider and the university.

“I felt gypped,” Cabrera said. “… Financially, it just takes a lot out of me.”

The university offers additional financial aid for students who cannot afford the plan. Students must fill out and submit an aid request form to the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarship in addition to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. Yet, Cabrera said she was not aware of the aid offered and believes there is a lack of communication between the Student Health Insurance Office and students.

SU, with the help of an insurance broker, previously mailed a full explanation of benefits to students, which Cabrera said she found confusing. The university is currently developing materials that provide an easy, clear comparison of prices and covered services for the upcoming

academic year, Coughlin said.

Complex paperwork was not the only complication with the recent requirement. SU worked with an insurance broker, which Coughlin declined to name, to review the submitted health insurance plans. Through an automated process, the broker wrongly denied plans that did not cover routine medical services, like physical examinations, in the Syracuse area, Coughlin said.

The university has since switched brokers, and Coughlin hopes for a smoother process for the upcoming academic year, she said.

Though Coughlin said she thinks 90 percent of submitted plans for last year were accepted, she said she estimates more than 100 students’ original rejections were rescinded due to the broker’s mishandling.

Despite possible changes to the waiver system, the requirement faces opposition.

Stephanie Cox, a senior studying entrepreneurship and marketing, has remained on her parents’ insurance plan throughout college, but believes the mandate impedes on students’ freedom to choose the amount of coverage that is best for them, she said.

“I’d rather have the opportunity to choose my own way instead of somebody saying, ‘This is what you have to do because it’s better for you, because I told you so,’” Cox said.

Though the future of federal mandated health insurance remains hazy, Coughlin said SU is embracing the “new normal for universities everywhere.”

“It has been very easy, politics aside, to have this type of requirement, which is why so many schools do,” Coughlin said. mfalk100@syr.edu

Syracuse University juniors James Franco and Angie Pati announced Sunday that they will run together for Student Association president and vice president, respectively.

The pair made the campaign announcement on Sunday via their personal Facebook pages and a new joint page for their campaign. In doing so, they became the first pair to announce their candidacy for president and vice president of SA’s 61st Legislative Session.

The election will run from April 17-20.

“We believe we can present a new way forward that will utilize the full potential and resources of SA to truly impact students and their experiences at SU from academics to safety to student life to more,” Franco wrote in a Facebook post.

Franco, a junior political science and history double major, is currently SA Academic Affairs chair and ran for comptroller during the last election cycle. During the current legislative session, Franco and an assembly member submitted the bill that called on Syracuse University to declare itself a sanctuary campus.

Pati, who has not previously been involved in SA, is a junior neuroscience and psychology dual major. dovanwey@syr.edu

threats the Jewish community in Syracuse.

Even though no one has been hurt by the threats, they have caused unease in the Jewish community in Syracuse. Small remembers feeling afraid when he received a message that the Syracuse JCC was threatened, for the first time, in January.

“I have to admit I wasn’t shocked,” Small said. “I was very upset, because I realized that what had been happening at other places across the country just started happening to us.”

But when he went to a meeting at the Syracuse JCC where community leaders were debriefed on the first bomb threat, it really began to hit home for Small.

“As a dad myself of kids, it was really scary and it really made me reflect on this idea … like I just want my family to be safe,” he said.

The Syracuse JCC holds classes and daycare for children of all ages, including infants.

After the initial threat, other Jewish daycare centers immediately had local police complete sweeps of their buildings that included bomb-sniffing dogs, Small added. Small’s own

bylaws from the assembly and cabinet violates article 1.15 of the SA bylaws, which states that SA’s operating budget must be approved by the cabinet and assembly before being forwarded to the Finance Board. It also violates article 4.2.3 of the SA constitution, which states that the president’s annual budget must be approved by the assembly.

It is unclear the exact date Evangelista gave his budget proposal to the Finance Board.

Nicole Sherwood, SA’s chair of public relations, said it was unclear if SA’s Judicial Review Board would launch an investigation into these violations because she is unsure if the JRB was notified of the situation.

Article 4.13 of the SA bylaws states that failure to adhere to SA documents “whether in ignorance or general disregard” would warrant a referral to SA’s JRB. Assembly members, cabinet members, the president, the vice president and members of all elected boards are required to sign a statement confirming they have read and understood all documents that dictate the rules of behavior in SA, according to article 4.13.

children go to a local a Jewish daycare, as well.

“I got physically nervous. I got physically anxious in the moment,” he said. “My stomach got a little queasy about some of the details they were talking about.”

Small’s nerves calmed once he sat down with officers from SU’s Department of Public Safety and the Syracuse Police Department to develop a stronger emergency procedure plan should SU’s Hillel receive similar threats. DPS has also increased its presence monitoring the Hillel center, Small said.

Every week, a small group of SU students from the Alpha Phi Omega fraternity have gone to the Syracuse JCC on Fridays to serve meals to elderly people in the community. Those trips were put on pause for a while after the initial bomb threats, said Emilia Navarrete, a junior international relations major who has been volunteering at the JCC this year.

The trips have started back up, but Navarrete, who has gone to the Buffalo JCC her entire life, said she never considered halting her visits to the community centers.

“I just can’t imagine not going to the JCC,” she said. “Also I can’t imagine letting these people scare me.”

Shortly after the arrest of the man con-

nected to a series of threats was announced, Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the AntiDefamation League, said in a statement that JCCs and other Jewish institutions should not ease their security measures just yet.

“While the details of this crime remain unclear, the impact of this individual’s actions is crystal clear: These were acts of anti-Semitism. These threats targeted Jewish institutions, were calculated to sow fear and anxiety, and put the entire Jewish community on high alert,” Greenblatt said.

Whatever extra security the Syracuse JCC puts in place following the bomb threats will remain, Alexander said. Now, she adds, the JCC needs to be vigilante about copycat hate crimes, such as the recent vandalizing of the Jewish cemetery in Rochester. Alexander said she finds comfort knowing the FBI could locate a suspect, even if he was in a small town in Israel.

“This is just a lesson that we are vulnerable — whether it’s a white nationalist or a mentally ill Jewish person,” she added.

It’s unclear if there has been an uptick in Jewish hate crimes since President Donald Trump’s election, Alexander said, or if there’s just been an increase in visibility of

the acts due to social media.

Adam Chaskin, executive director of the Albany JCC, said that it may be irresponsible to assume the motives behind the stream of hate crimes until law enforcement discloses them.

Either way, the JCCs in central New York have never faced such violent threats like the ones they have received this year, Alexander said.

Small still thinks Trump’s administration could be doing more to prevent hate crimes across all identities by making more blanket comments, such as preaching religious tolerance. With Trump’s travel ban proposals against Muslim majority countries, he said he believes it shows the administration has done a poor job protecting religious communities.

If hate crimes against religious communities aren’t publicly reprimanded more, Small said it will likely only get worse.

“It’s important to say that out loud, and it’s important for all of us to agree to that, because otherwise it is much more likely that there will be threats like this made against Jewish community centers and other community centers and other places of worship,” Small said.

responsible for the violations, Sherwood said.

If the JRB were to investigate this incident, many people would be involved, she added.

She said Malik Evans, SA’s comptroller, did not fulfill his obligation to inform Evangelista of the budget process. Obi Afriyie, SA’s parliamentarian, failed “to be in charge of” the bylaws and the constitution, she added.

“We as cabinet members failed to be on top of what was happening,” Sherwood said.

This marks the second time Evangelista was involved in actions that broke SA bylaws during the 60th Legislative Session. In February, the JRB found Evangelista guilty of multiple bylaw violations.

At the March 20 meeting, Evangelista said multiple times he followed precedent regarding the budget procedure. For the past two or three years, presidents did not get assembly and cabinet approval of the initial budget proposal, Evangelista said.

Boris Gresely, president of the 58th Legislative Session, told Sherwood he followed the budget approval process correctly during his term, she said. But Aysha Seedat, president of the 59th Legislative Session, did not correctly follow the budget approval process during her term, according to Sherwood.

According to the bylaws, the budget must

be approved through a four-step process. The president must first submit the proposed budget to the cabinet, which votes to approve the budget before sending it to the assembly. Once the assembly votes to approve the budget, the budget is sent to the Finance Board for evaluation. It is then sent back to the assembly for final approval.

Evangelista bypassed the first two steps of the process, as he submitted the budget to the Finance Board without prior approval from the cabinet and assembly.

In the future, the budget approval process will follow the proper procedure outlined in the bylaws, he said during the meeting. Evangelista did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story following the meeting.

Afriyie, SA’s parliamentarian, said at the meeting that decisions made based on precedent set by past administrations were not an excuse for ignoring the bylaws.

“If this was any other organization that was applying for money through SA with the Finance Board and they did (not follow the bylaws), they would not have funding,” Afriyie said.

Evans, SA’s comptroller who presides over Finance Board meetings and allocates money to student organizations, did not respond to multiple requests for comment on this story.

Afriyie also said in an email that he did

not believe the violations were Evangelista’s fault because it is the parliamentarian’s job to ensure the administration followed procedural rules. The parliamentarian assists the speaker and cabinet in matters of parliamentary procedure, bylaws and standing rules, according to the SA constitution.

“There are a lot of things in the bylaws that are hidden,” he said. The bylaw articles violated were only recently discovered, he said.

The bylaws were last amended on March 3.

Afriyie said he followed what was done in the past and he did not make sure that the budget approval procedure was correct. He said the advisers who directed Evangelista were also unaware that the process violated the bylaws.

SA officials asked Evangelista to show the proposed budget to the assembly at the Monday meeting, but Evangelista said he was cautioned against doing so.

Evangelista said he would share the budget with assembly members electronically and that the Finance Board would eventually present the budget to the assembly for final approval.

The proper approval process outlined in the bylaws will not be followed retroactively.

“There was a mistake made that couldn’t be fixed,” Sherwood said.

that he and Hutter have had further negotiations regarding the buyout. Theobald said the threat of raising the price of rent is another “strong-arm tactic” used by the developers to force him out before the end of the semester.

Theobald said developers must offer a “reasonable price” for rent, and that a judge would be able to decide if the rent hike was too high.

The bar owner claims that the landlord has ignored requests to plow the alley, pick up rotting garbage outside Chuck’s door and to fix leaks inside the bar. Theobald views these as attempts to get him to agree to buyout negotiations. Hutter denies these claims, and said that Theobald’s negotiations have been “ridiculous.”

“I heard rumors that he was telling people that he never intended to leave, and that just shows that he never took the buyout negotiations seriously,” Hutter said.

For Hutter, the next few months are vital to the project timeline. For Theobald, the end of the semester is the busiest time of year. Both have said they are trying to do what’s best for students.

Chuck’s graduation party is a cornerstone in the senior experience, and Theobald wants to keep that thread going by remaining open. Hutter sees the mixed-use complex as a chance to give the Marshall Street area a “major facelift,” and to make the South Crouse Avenue alley a bustling hub of student life.

Their timelines haven’t lined up and, as Theobald describes, a “gulf” exists between them.

That gulf jeopardizes the future of Chuck’s.

Hutter said that there’s nowhere else Chuck’s can go on the Hill – there’s no space – and that continued strained relations could affect the student experience. An increase in rent could mean an increase in drink costs, or could push the bar out of the building altogether, Hutter said.

“We don’t know if he will come back or not.

We will offer him a lease .. but Chuck’s won’t be the same,” Hutter said. “It can’t be.”

chuck’s on the section of the lawsuit pertaining to the termination notice. If the Onondaga County Supreme Court grants Chuck’s request to have the notice ruled invalid, the construction of the project could be further delayed.

The new landowner can serve a lease termination “in the event of a major renovation or expansion,” and if the client is given a sixmonth notice, according to the lawsuit. Chuck’s is claiming that developers can’t currently serve the termination because they aren’t yet able to move forward with the project.

Syracuse 727 LLC, the bar’s new landlord, served the termination notice on Feb. 28, giving Chuck’s six months to evacuate.

The two parties are set to appear in court on Tuesday to present oral arguments regarding Theobald’s temporary restraining order related to a pending asbestos abatement.

The hearing will determine if Syracuse 727 LLC has legal grounds to begin the asbestos abatement, which would temporarily close the bar, without Chuck’s permission. Theobald said it was unclear if the lease termination notice would be discussed on Tuesday.

Syracuse 727 LLC absorbed a multi-year lease with Chuck’s and by law must offer the bar a spot in the space that will exist after construction. But in recent weeks, negotiations over a buyout have soured, creating tension between Theobald and the developers.

Hutter told The Daily Orange on Friday he has cut buyout negotiations with Chuck’s. A buyout would have closed Chuck’s before its lease ends in August and allowed developers to begin construction. Instead of Chuck’s reopening in August 2018, as previously projected, the bar will now not be able to reopen until 201920, given the delayed construction, Hutter said.

Theobald said these were only threats, and

#Readmylips campaign gives women necessary platform to speak up

T

he #readmylips campaign, which seeks to provide women with a space to air their grievances against the Trump administration’s misogynist underpinnings, has made its way to Syracuse University. Although it may seem passé to simply “raise awareness” for women’s issues, the campaign’s art element offers immediacy and physical affirmation of individual women’s personal narratives.

Through the campaign, members of campus communities can post the #readmylips slogan in messages about topics such as sexual assault advocacy and mental health awareness. Mogul, the women’s empowerment startup in charge of the campaign, will print those messages and display them in a large, ornate sculpture of — what else — a vagina.

The vagina sculpture will be presented at the White House on April 21 to voice personal concerns of how President Donald Trump has both personally and politically demeaned women.

The campaign had grassroots origins on campuses including Brown, Oxford and Yale universities. Through the lens of student activism, the campaign has charged college-aged women to use their own stories to bolster larger systemic online advocacy.

Sohwi Lim, a sophomore communications and rhetorical studies major at SU and president of the university’s Mogul chapter, said the campaign is an effort to

TWO EARS, ONE MOUTH make women’s voices heard.

“People are so busy with their own lives that they don’t want to focus on it,” Lim said, adding that now, more than ever, though, people are able to take action.

Lim said she anticipates that campus involvement at SU will go beyond this campaign to include Mogul events and fundraisers in the coming few months.

Mogul, an online aggregated community hub for women, is featured in more than 190 countries around the world, according to its site. Whether it’s through personal stories, advice seeking or job postings, the site prides itself on interactive, stylized ways to spread awareness and stories.

The company, which was named one of Business Insider’s most exciting start-ups in New York City, aims to “democratize information for women worldwide by enabling users to connect, share information, and access knowledge from each other,” according to its message.

Mogul encourages students to make an account on its website to submit stories that will be included on the vagina sculpture. The sculpture, which was commissioned by “Saturday Night Live” prop fabricator Dan Castelli, will be available for viewing in New York City’s Union Square on April 5 from 12 to 5 p.m.

Michelle Wen, the #readmylips campus organizer at Cornell University, told Allure that the statue’s vaginal shape “empowers women to be proud of their sexuality and bodies.”

The campaign is one of a number of outward expressive movements blending art and activism. The Georgia O’Keefe-like sculpture

delivers — though seemingly innocuous — a message that awareness spans borders and gender.

Even at the more microcosm level of a college campus, the individual messages remain in solidarity when combined with millions of others.

Those who question the effectiveness of the campaign

need only to ask themselves why women write these grievances at all. If women don’t speak out for themselves, who will?

letter to the editor

Skills-based courses should be promoted In 2014, The Atlantic published a study that shows that four of the five most important attributes in employers’ hiring decisions are based on some kind of experience: internships, employment, volunteer experience and extracurricular activities. The notion that you need experience to get the job that you want is not particularly shocking. After all, when you apply for a job, you must submit a resume that describes your skills and your experiences. So why is it then, that colleges are not promoting more skills and experience courses?

Syracuse University is committed to the idea of skills courses but needs to do better. The first goal of the Syracuse University Mission Statement states that the university supports student success by “experiential learning,” but out of my 16 credits this semester, only one class includes hands-on experience related

to my career field. As for the rest, they are filled with frivolous academic discussion that will not help me in getting a job. I can’t put “read articles about gender inequality” or “discussed the ‘problem of evil’” on my resume.

Lots of students feel that the classes they are taking are unrelated to their future careers. How many times have you sat in an elective class and questioned what you were getting out of it? With the rising costs of higher education, students would benefit more from spending their time getting a job, acquiring skills, and making money to pay off their debt.

There are, in fact, several “Skills Through Experience” courses in Arts & Sciences that are open to all students — the university just does a very poor job of promoting them. In my opinion, the STEP program is Syracuse University’s best-kept secret. STEP allows students to get credits for valuable experiences

rather than take electives that aren’t essential to their education. URP 470 and PAF 410 let students earn academic credits while earning money, and PAF 490 assigns students a research project for a local organization. Through these courses, students can develop skills such as taking responsibility, working directly with people, using quantitative tools and solving problems while also adding real-life work experience to their resumes. It’s a win-win, and it’s tragic that no one knows about these great opportunities.

When you are making your schedule for next semester, consider signing up for a STEP course instead of another pointless elective. For more information on the program, visit skillswin.syr.edu.

By Mary Catalfamo staff writer

S

UNY-ESF has partnered with the central and western New York chapters of the Nature Conservancy to begin restoring one of the largest and most deteriorated forests in the state.

The Tug Hill Plateau, a unified forest spanning 150,000 acres about 40 miles north of Syracuse, will be the site of the project that aims to increase ecological resistance to climate change.

A grant of $166,925 from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation will fund approximately two years of the project to ensure the forest on the plateau is “climate-resilient.”

Gregg Sargis, a Nature Conservancy official who is the project’s leader, said the conservancy has also agreed to match that amount of funding for the project.

Dylan Parry, an environmental science professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry, said there are multiple factors that can make forests especially susceptible to the effects of climate change.

“We know from forests in west and north America that climate is interacting with insect populations and has created these massive outbreaks of bark beetles that run from California to British Columbia and are killing billions of trees,” Parry said.

Tug Hill faces a similar invasive species problem with the prevalence of beech bark disease, which occurs when beech scale insects attack the bark of American beech trees, Sargis said.

Other environmental threats to Tug Hill listed on the Nature Conservancy’s website include the decline of high quality trees in the area due to heavily selective logging practices, acid rain, climate change and drastic alterations to land use.

Human mismanagement of such forests, Parry said, has also been known to expedite the fragility of a forest’s ecosystems.

“We’ve created these vast, even-aged monocultures in some places and really set them up for this massive mortality,” he added.

Losing the Tug Hill Plateau to the destruction of climate change is hardly an option, because it serves as a critical link between the Adirondacks to the north and the Appalachian and Alleghany mountains to the south, he said. By focusing on Tug Hill, the Nature Conservancy and SUNY-ESF both hope that the positive effects will naturally also spread to those regions.

Gregory McGee, an assistant professor of environmental and forest biology at SUNY-

ESF, is heading ecological monitoring for the project, which constitutes a large part of the college’s contributions to the project. McGee was unavailable for comment on this story.

Parry said there are lessons to be learned from fraught environmental conditions elsewhere in the United States, which could in the future occur in the local region.

“California’s drought, this very rapid climate change that the western mountainous regions are undergoing, may be applicable to some of the things that we’ll see here in the future,” he said.

After initially purchasing 45,000 acres of land in the Tug Hill region, the conservancy started to implement sustainability practices as early as 2002. That venture was supported and well received by local residents, according to the Conservancy’s website.

Sargis said after acquiring the full 150,000 acres of land there last fall, the Nature Conservancy and SUNY-ESF are now continuing to expand their mission to foster the Tug Hill Plateau’s biodiversity. The partnership is also strengthening the plateau’s climate-change resilience and creating a set of best practices for property owners who live in the area to help take care of the ecosystem, he said.

“Past land management uses and invasive species have left (Tug Hill) vulnerable to various things, whether or not they’re climate change impacts or wind storms, ice storms or insect damage,” Sargis said. “What we’re trying to do is create a much more resilient forest there that would better respond to these things.” mdcatalf@syr.edu

Butcher’s dozen Elmcrest Children’s Center hosts Meatball Madness fundraiser Text and photos by Joe Bloss asst. feature editor

M

arch is often a month closely associated with madness.

Slam dunks, buzzer-beaters and Cinderella stories dominate weekends where a hefty chunk of the nation fixates its attention on college basketball. On Sunday, though, a different kind of madness infiltrated Syracuse.

The meatball kind.

That’s right. Beginning at noon, three hours of the 14th annual Meatball Madness consumed the International Pavilion at the New York State fairgrounds. Elmcrest Children’s Center, an organization based in Syracuse that provides assistance to families and kids living with emotional and behavioral disabilities, hosted the event. The goal — besides raise a standard $30,000 for Elmcrest — was to find out who makes the best meatball in Syracuse.

Eleven chefs each donated roughly 400 meatballs for the affair. Those who paid the few dollars to get in could fork over their ticket for a blue egg carton filled with one meatball from each chef. To eliminate any biases, only numbers and no names labeled the spheres of meat. Tasters eat them up, then cast a vote for the best through iPads at a voting station, or via a URL provided at every table.

Janene Bartell, Elmcrest’s special events coordinator, put the whole day together — and that took more than just rounding up some meatballs. She works on a lot of projects throughout the year, but none like this.

“Meatball Madness is my baby,” she said.

Since January, she’s been assembling sponsors, silent auction donations and, most importantly, judges.

Because even though attendees voted on who receives the plaque for the “Peo-

ple’s Choice” award, it’s the judges who choose who gets to hold the big trophy.

The judges don’t vote the same way attendees do, said John Oliver, who has been a judge since the first Meatball Madness 14 years ago. Their system operates more officially — meatballs are scored on a scale of one through five in several categories, including taste, appearance, aroma, texture and sauce.

Oliver said Santangelo’s Restaurant, which took home third place this year, have probably made the best meatballs over the years. But for him, the event named for food hasn’t been memorable because of it.

“The best of experience of it all has been the people,” Oliver said.

That sentiment seemed to echo through the high ceilings of building housing the madness. A toddler hustled through the crowd with a “Got Meatballs?” T-shirt. The old danced with the young, the lively tunes of Mickey Vendetti and The Goodtime Band inspiring them. Balloon animals and hats popped like clockwork. All great fun, but those are just underlying aspects of the cause championed by the meatballs.

It’s a cause that lives on despite Monday marking six years since the death of Meatball Madness founder Dominick Tassone Jr. His restaurant, Dominick’s, is now run by his family. They donated a full buffet. His spirit remains, and the event he created continues to grow.

Since 2003, the Meatball Madness moved from Dominick’s to Drumlins Country Club to the fairgrounds, all because of a need for space.

Sunday gave Syracuse local Vic Coogan his first taste of Meatball Madness. And while he joked the 11th meatball in his carton was his favorite just because he was stuffed, Coogan recognized the see meatballs page 12

Judges scored the meatballs on a scale from one to five, rating them on categories that included taste, appearance, aroma, texture and sauce.

Attendees received meatballs in blue egg cartons, but numbers kept the identify of who made the meatball a mystery.

Snoop Dogg’s music video draws criticism from fans, Trump

L

ast week, rapper Snoop Dogg released a music video for his remix of BADBADNOTGOOD and Kaytranda’s single, “Lavender.”

The video was produced directed

by Jesse Wellens, better known by his YouTube name PrankvsPrank.

Snoop Dogg said after the Philando Castile shooting, he was even more motivated to write music and create this video to voice his frustrations with growing political tensions.

Immediately after its release, the

CHRISTINE CHUNG

I USED TO LOVE KANYE video became a point of contention for fans, media outlets and even President Donald Trump.

The music video has many similarities to the Philando Castile case. It takes place in a clown community and focuses on one male clown, getting

ready for work at his home. He does ordinary tasks, like watching his kids and eating breakfast, before leaving for work. As he leaves home, a police officer catches him smoking a joint.

This quickly leads to a violent altercation between the clown and a police officer, and soon, the clown is shot multiple times by the cop. A bystander captures this moment of police brutality and the video becomes viral.

Afterwards, we see a satirical take on the current president. The

music video represents Trump as an orange clown with the name “Ronald Klump.” The audience sees him holding press conferences with headlines such as “Ronald Klump wants to deport all doggs.”

The portrayal of Donald Trump as a clown was a reference to Snoop Dogg’s previous controversial comments towards the President.

Wellens’ pitched this idea to the rapper because he believes all the current issues in this country are

“clownery.” At the end of the video, we see Snoop Dogg point a prop gun at Ronald Klump and shoot it, resulting in a white banner coming out the barrel that says, “BANG!” While the video carries shock value, many applauded Snoop Dogg’s bravery and honest lyrics. On the other hand, the President was not pleased and tweeted at the rapper, “Can you imagine what the outcry would be if Snoop Dogg, failing career

CROWN JEWELS

Cornell alumna creates collegiate jewelry collection inspired by SU spirit

By Annie Zeina staff writer

E

lise Blanck left her job in corporate America to capitalize on her passion for her alma mater — Cornell University — and jewelry, an aspect of fashion she felt was not appealing to people or their wallets.

Syracuse University is known for its academics and alumni, surely, but probably its most famous attribute is school spirit. The way students bleed orange is what inspired Blanck to start her own jewelry company to bring out the school spirit of every college student. She decided to name the company Collegiate Soul.

Nine months ago Blanck had her first table in the Schine Student Center presenting her jewelry line. With a table decked in blue and orange crystal earrings, statement chokers and embroidered bar necklaces, she presented the SU student body with handmade jewelry and a more fashionable way to rep school pride.

“SU became the test market because I have always admired the school spirit,” Blanck said.

“It’s a whole culture. I thought if my idea is going to work anywhere, it is going to work at SU.” That test run soon turned into the real deal.

Within two weeks of the first showing, she was

asked to come back to present her line during Family Weekend. It was a hit, and is now currently for sale in the SU bookstore.

“I saw that there was a gap in the market,” Blanck said. “I always thought about different designs and things for jewelry. There is so much out there, but nothing in the price point that look I was going for.”

Blanck began this journey appealing to the fashion-forward and ambitious student at SU. She works from her apartment in Manhattan, and all the jewelry is handmade in New York City. In fact, her manufacturer lives right down the street, which is perfect for Blanck.

“It’s great if I can make it work where it’s all happening locally, and I can help the local economy and be super hands on,” Blanck said.

Being hands-on with her brand is important, not just for manufacturing. Her team of brand ambassadors on campus has become her eyes and ears for promoting the brand as well as keeping her up to date on the current fashion and accessory trends on campus.

Natalie Mafrici, a sophomore economics major at SU, is an ambassador who has been with Blanck since the beginning. After expressing interest in the brand, Blanck brought her on board to help connect this brand with the student body. From photoshoots, trunk shows and visits to sororities,

Mafrici’s role has established the brand as an emerging favorite for students.

“It’s a fun way to show your school spirit,” said Mafrici. “You have so many brands that are doing apparel or transforming shirts but not many jewelry brands so that’s why it’s so unique.”

The accessories are popular among SU tailgaters, sports fans, alumni and faculty. In a market where class rings take the title for alumni statement pieces, Blanck is noticing a decrease in interest in people making a purchase for a gem that they will only be worn a few times during their lifetime.

With graduation just around the corner for seniors, savoring memories is what is important during their final days at SU. From the days on the perfect tailgate, screaming with thousands at the Carrier Dome or walking across the stage to receive your diploma, Collegiate Soul provides jewelry to remind everyone that college isn’t forever, but the memories sure are.

“It is more than just the jewelry — I want it to be a lifestyle brand,” she said. “I wanted it to represent not only being a student but being able to relive those memories and keep them close to you and have jewelry that will remind you of the good old days.” aczeina@syr.edu

Interview tips from someone who can’t land an internship

W

hat did I do last summer?

Depends on who is asking. If you’re a college student or someone who I want to feel bad for me, I will tell you of the horrid summer spent at the closing sporting goods chain, Sports Authority. If I want to impress you, I’ll tell you all about my internship in New York City. In reality, I interned for a therapist who wanted to film a podcast. She only had me come into her offices a few times, and even bought me lunch once.

That’s not to say I did not try for other internships. I applied wrote cover letters faster than Donald Trump tweets. Despite my superior cover letter writing skills, I was not able to land an internship last summer.

But, what I do have experience in is interviews. Apparently, I’m so good at interviewing that the six in-person interviews and multiple video chats or phone calls were not good enough to land me an internship.

With my foolproof success rate, I am the most qualified person to write an advice column on how to ace that interview.

First thing you’ll have to do is dress up. I from page 9

KENT IS MY BIGGEST FAN recommend a suit for everyone. Yes ladies, even for you, except if you’re running for president.

You want to look presentable and impressive. It doesn’t matter that everyone wears jeans in the office on a daily basis, you better look like you can afford at least one dress shirt.

The next thing to do is make sure you print out copies of your resume. Regular printer paper is the equivalent of handing them a used napkin, apparently. So, you’ll want to blow $35 at Staples to get 100 sheets of almond paper.

You only want to bring a few copies. This shows you’re prepared but you’re not going on a ton of other interviews, and let’s be honest, you’re not.

When arriving to an interview, show up around 10 minutes early. You’ll probably never time that exactly correct, so chances are, if you really want this position, you’ll be anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and

45 minutes early. If you’re in a major city, standing on the street will be necessary, but if you drove, then you can sit in your car on your phone and hope nobody who works there comes outside the office.

Once you get there, let whoever is around know that you’re here to see the person you’ve been emailing and hope you’re pronouncing their name right. It’s important to shake everyone’s hand you see. Shake it firmly as you can — it’s a sign of weakness if you show mercy. Even dig your nails in if you’re feeling empowered.

The first question is often a general question such as “Tell me a little about yourself.”

It’s a trick. Don’t answer that. It’s not a question, it’s a demand. Show them you don’t give into demands — even very reasonable ones — right off the bat.

As the interview progresses, some very minor things are necessary to give off a good impression. Body language is huge. So first off, refrain from using your middle finger for anything. Keep it down and out of the way. The placement of your hands is crucial.

Studies show that putting your hands in your

Balanced offense leads to No. 16 Notre Dame picks SU’s 4-game winning streak apart Syracuse’s defense

By Matthew Gutierrez asst. sports editor

When Sergio Salcido caught a pass near the restraining line during Syracuse’s 12-11 victory over Duke on Saturday, he peered at what unfolded before him. Fifteen yards to his left stood Nate Solomon, a sophomore attack who ranks third on SU in goals. In front of him, near the crease, a floating Brendan Bomberry looked for space. Behind the cage, Jordan Evans worked for position.

To Salcido’s right stood Nick Mariano, the team’s leading points getter.

Salcido surveyed his options, each one capable of drawing a slide and getting a shot on goal. In a season of twists and turns — All-American defender Nick Mellen’s season-ending injury and a programrecord six consecutive one-goal games — a balanced offense has let SU linger in games.

Each of No. 6 Syracuse’s (6-1, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) four game-winning goals has come from a different stick. It’s a deep offense that has helped Syracuse to four consecutive victories.

The most recent came Saturday afternoon against the No. 11 Blue Devils. In overtime, Salcido sent a pass intended for Mariano. But a freshman in his first career start, Jamie Trimboli, reached out, cut it off and ripped the game-winner from 15 yards out. Not having a single go-to option can put

players in unfamiliar situations. Yet Trimboli proved he’s one of many SU shooters capable of netting the dagger, too.

“Whomever they put on the field,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “Maybe someone this week who hasn’t even seen the field could make a play. They have so many guys who can step in and stick it.”

Mariano, a senior attack who led SU in points last year, is Syracuse’s best offensive player. He leads SU in goals (15). Through seven games, 17 players have scored at least once. Mariano and Bomberry have 15 apiece and Solomon 11 for SU’s 15th-ranked offense that averages a shade over 12 goals per game.

“We’re not putting up the goal numbers we want,” Mariano said, “but we don’t have to rely on one or two guys to score. It’s the whole team.”

SU head coach John Desko said in January that replacing Dylan Donahue would involve several players. When asked whom they keyed-in on, Hopkins players chuckled after their loss to SU March 18. When studying SU on film, Duke’s Danowski pointed out SU’s balanced attack as the first thing that jumped out to him.

“It’s not easy to focus on just one guy,” Johns Hopkins head coach Dave Pietramala said. “While they may not have the high-powered scorer as usual, they’re an extraordinarily unselfish team and share the ball very well.” mguti100@syr.edu | @MatthewGut21

SU’s Miranda Ramirez wins 10th straight singles match

By Billy Heyen staff writer

Syracuse’s Miranda Ramirez sent her opponent, Georgia Tech’s Rasheeda McAdoo, back and forth along the baseline. Each point seemed to end with a Ramirez winner that McAdoo couldn’t quite reach. McAdoo consistently blazed the same trail down the end line as she inevitably failed to catch up to a cross-court shot from Ramirez.

“I could tell that when she was on the run, she had a tendency to either make more errors or give me more opportunities,” Ramirez said.

“So, I just tried to take advantage of that.”

Ramirez and her strong baseline play resulted in her 10th straight singles win, 6-4, 6-4, and brought her to 11-1 on the season. But the Ramirez win was not enough for Syracuse (5-8, 2-4 Atlantic Coast) on Sunday to overcome No. 6 Georgia Tech (17-2, 7-0), though, as the Yellow Jackets won, 4-3.

The freshman Ramirez faced a tough challenge in her debut at SU’s top singles spot against Georgia Tech’s highest ranked player, No. 46 McAdoo. Their styles clashed.

McAdoo played with power. The senior’s serves sizzled, and her hits from any point on the court were strong. Ramirez played with finesse.

She seemed content to wait along her baseline and return any slams that McAdoo offered. from page 16

notre dame Maryland (1-for-13). Levy’s ended up in a similar fashion to that of her teammates, straight into Giacolone’s stick.

“I knew they were going to go for my left side,” Giacolone said. “I kind of baited a little bit, but it goes both ways. Today, it went my way.”

Moments later, Neena Merola shot with 18 seconds left in the half and Giacolone started the break. UND’s Savannah Buchanan cut past a defender, broke away downfield and passed off to Cortney Fortunato.

With one second left on the clock, Fortunato scored and the Orange went into the locker room down 7-4. The defense’s inability to communicate allowed cutters to get open, Syracuse defender Haley McDonnell said.

In focusing on placement rather than power, Ramirez succeeded in outlasting McAdoo.

Ramirez went through the whole match without changing the blank expression on her face. On the other side, McAdoo jawed at the ref on multiple occasions. McAdoo consistently seemed frustrated as she looked at the ceiling or stared at her feet when she couldn’t reach a deep baseline shot following long rallies. Ramirez stayed stoic as ever, regardless of the outcome of an individual point.

“It’s more about the process than about the end result,” Ramirez said. “As long as I keep focusing on what I’m doing the same in the moment, then the result will come after.”

Ramirez lost a tight doubles match with her partner, Gabriela Knutson. The pair lost to Georgia Tech’s No. 113 Paige Hourigan and Kenya Jones, 7-6 (7-3). Both Knutson and Ramirez felt they played well in doubles, and agreed that it didn’t hold them back heading into singles, where they both won. “(Ramirez) has the right attitude,” SU head coach Younes Limam said. “She works extremely hard at every single practice. Hopefully she will keep at it and keep improving, because that’s our main goal is to keep getting better every day.”

Ramirez will just continue to do what has worked 10 times in a row: Trust her process and calmly hit baseline winners. wmheyen@syr.edu

“As a team that likes to slow the ball down, Notre Dame did a good job at that,” McDonnell said. “A lot of (their possession advantage) comes from ownership on our end.”

UND cemented their lead early in the second half after Levy’s stick was ruled illegal and she was given a yellow card and a twominute un-releasable penalty. The Fighting Irish capitalized on their man-up advantage with three goals in that span. By the time Levy re-entered, UND led 11-4.

That run effectively ended the game, Gait said, as it became clear that UND would avenge its 9-5 loss to SU in the 2016 ACC tournament.

“Good thing is the season’s not over,” Gait said. “(That) wasn’t a playoff game, it was a conference game. It just gives us more to work on, more to do to be more successful down the road.” klwasile@syr.edu

Syracuse struggled from the get-go against Notre Dame, and a four-goal run to start the second half from the Irish buried the Orange. colin davy asst. photo editor

By Matt Liberman staff writer

Gary Gait paced the sidelines. He turned, flung his arms upward at the referee and told Syracuse associate head coach Regy Thorpe that Nicole Levy had used an illegal stick because of an untied shooting string. Levy served a two-minute, non-releasable penalty.

During Levy’s absence, Notre Dame rattled off three goals in slightly over a minute, turning its three-goal halftime lead into an 11-4 blowout just five minutes into the second half.

The three goals in part of a bigger fourgoal run by No. 16 Notre Dame (9-4, 3-1 Atlantic Coast) broke down No. 8 Syracuse’s (8-3, 2-1) defense. The Fighting Irish did not relent. Notre Dame’s offense swarmed the Syracuse defense and freshman goalie Asa Goldstock in the Orange’s 16-7 loss Sunday afternoon inside the Carrier Dome. Opponents have now scored 16 goals in each of SU’s past four games, three of which SU lost by at least seven goals.

“When you keep giving the other team opportunities to score,” Gait said, “it makes it very difficult.”

The Orange shot 7-of-30 and turned the ball over 16 times. Syracuse not only failed to convert on its chances, but also gave extra possessions to UND, which wore down the defense with long, efficient possessions.

With 24:04 remaining in the first half and the score tied at one, Notre Dame won the draw. After a methodical possession with a missed free-position shot and a recovery, Heidi Annaheim scored on Goldstock. Syracuse defended well for over 70 seconds, only to give up a goal.

The Fighting Irish controlled the majority of the first half, with several possessions lasting 70 and 80 seconds. Several times, such as Annaheim’s goal, SU failed to double a cutting attacker, resulting in one-on-one situations against Goldstock.

“We really focused on deliberate offense,” Notre Dame head coach Christine Halfpenny said, “where we could get from page 16

georgia tech Shkudun. Early in the match, Shkudun fired a cross-court volley that Renaud called out.

Shkudun began arguing her case with the official, while Renaud said, “Stop, stop, stop, stop it,” in Shkudun’s direction. The irritation didn’t cease for Shkudun.

Still recovering from a November knee surgery and not fully in shape — according to Knutson and Limam — Shkudun struggled to traverse the baseline, and Renaud exploited this reality. Renaud would pound Shkudun with cross-court volleys before picking her spot to send a backhander down the opposite line.

Other rallies, Renaud would go forehand to backhand, making Shkudun change direction and chase every shot, wearing

the ball through as many people’s hands as possible.”

The Fighting Irish also scored quick, easy goals early in the shot clock. Down 6-4, Syracuse had one last possession with no shot clock. Rather than taking the last shot, SU junior midfielder Neena Merola shot with 18 seconds left. Notre Dame turned the shot for a fast break with one second left to take a 7-4 halftime lead.

Syracuse struggled offensively in the first half and gave up seven goals, but a three-goal lead was in reach. SU had come back from far worse this season. Against Virginia three weeks ago, SU overcame an 11-2 first-half deficit.

Fewer than four minutes into the second half on Sunday, Casey Pearsall took two SU defenders far post and whipped a shot in the top left corner past Goldstock to extend the UND lead. After the goal, Halfpenny called an illegal stick on Levy.

With a man up, Notre Dame scored 24 seconds into Levy’s penalty. But because the penalty was non-releasable, Levy had to remain on the sideline. SU continued to defend down a player, and Notre Dame scored again 47 seconds later. And again 22 seconds after that. Even after Levy’s return, the visitors scored one minute later. The Fighting Irish turned its threegoal lead into eight in three minutes, an offensive stretch that beat both of Syracuse’s totals from each half.

“Our goal was to get in there and run our offense,” Halfpenny said, “and not waste time.”

Notre Dame scored its 14th and 15th goals less than 90 seconds apart from each other, then managed to use 84 seconds on the shot clock before scoring its 16th goal with one minute to play. All game, Notre Dame mixed long possessions with a barrage of quick attacks.

The Orange surrendered 16 goals on 30 shots.

“On the defensive end we always need to prepared to play 90 seconds consecutively,” Syracuse defender Kathy Rudkin said, “and expect the ball to be on our end a lot and just step up when we can.” mdliberm@syr.edu

her down.

By the third set, Shkudun was exhausted, and Renaud got aggressive. When Shkudun fired one of her high-arcing returns, Renaud would charge the net and rifle a shot past Shkudun.

Frustration boiled over for Shkudun when she had a chance to capitalize on one of Renaud’s rare mistakes and buried her kill shot in the net. Shkudun stomped her way to the baseline, berating herself.

“She just has to keep pushing and pushing,” Knutson said of Shkudun, “and she’ll be able to win all the matches she has left.”

After Renaud quickly dispatched Shkudun in the third set, Hegab played on and won. But the victory was muted by the fact SU had already lost. With the match on the line, everything that Syracuse had wasn’t enough. aegraham@syr.edu | @A_E_Graham

No. 8 Syracuse offense suffers from ‘total lack of being on the same page’ in 16-7 loss to No. 16 UND

By Kaci Wasilewski staff writer

A

45-second stretch in the middle of the second half symbolized a Syracuse offense incapable of capitalizing on its chances on Sunday afternoon.

With just under 22 minutes left against Notre Dame, Syracuse’s Kelzi Van Atta ricocheted a free position shot off the goal post, and then Nicole Levy drew a shooting space foul. Less than 10 seconds after Van Atta’s shot, Levy sent her own free position shot high. But SU retrained possession by reaching the endline first. Van Atta shot again, and UND goalie Samantha Giacolone turned the SU sophomore away again.

Similar struggles plagued No. 8 SU (8-3, 2-1 Atlantic Coast) all day long in an eventual 16-7 loss to the No. 16 Fighting Irish (9-4, 3-1). Notre Dame won its second-ever game in the Carrier Dome while serving SU its first home loss this season. The Syracuse offense had one of its worst offensive performances of

the season. The Orange tied its second-lowest season marks in goals (7), shots (30), shots on goal (20) and draw controls (12).

“It was a lack of communicating,” SU head coach Gary Gait said. “Forcing the ball to the cutters when they weren’t open, not hitting them when they were open, getting in the way when we were trying to dodge, just a total lack of being on the same page.”

Though SU opened the scoring on Sunday, the way it happened was a departure from the norm. Levy passed the ball on a free position shot to teammate Riley Donahue rather than shooting. Donahue made the assist count, and it was one of two times Syracuse held the lead, but it set the tone for a discombobulated offense.

With only a minute left in the first half, SU down 6-4, Levy shot the free position herself. SU went 3-for-10 on free position attempts on Sunday, the worst percentage with 10 or more attempts second only to March 11 against see notre

Syracuse runs out of steam against No. 6 Georgia Tech

By Andrew Graham asst. copy editor

As the dark grey sweat stains on Anna Shkudun’s shirt grew, so did her third-set deficit. After 19 hard games against Georgia Tech’s power hitting Johnnise Renaud, Shkudun was visibly drained.

Her breath dogged. The graduate student hustled back and forth down the baseline at Renaud’s whim, with barely enough energy to fire back her lofty, weak returns.

As fatigue set in for Shkudun, Renaud saw her opening and made the

third set the most decisive.

“The other girl (Renaud) just stepped it up a notch and started being more aggressive,” SU head coach Younes Limam said.

After splitting the first two sets with Renaud, 3-6, 6-4, Shkudun dropped the third set 6-0.

The Orange started the morning down 2-0. Gabriela Knutson and Miranda Ramirez then both picked up singles win and knotted the score at two a piece. But Syracuse (5-8, 2-4 Atlantic Coast) couldn’t get over the hump and snag a win over No. 6 Georgia

Tech (17-2, 7-0) as Maria Tritou couldn’t force a third set and Shkudun faltered.

“I thought that Anna and Maria both did a great job of fighting,” Ramirez said. “It just didn’t happen today.”

After Kenya Jones put Tritou in a hole, winning the first set 6-4, the sophomore stepped up her play in the second set. Tritou came roaring out of the gate in the second stanza, asserting herself with a 4-1 lead.

Chance after chance kept passing Tritou, and soon enough, Jones had clawed back and

taken the lead, 5-4, winning four straight games. Tritou responded once more, making it 5-5, but that was all she could do. Jones won the next two games, winning the No. 4 singles match, 6-4, 7-5.

“Unfortunately,” Limam said, “the other girl (Jones) played the bigger points a little bit better.”

Only two players — Dina Hegab and Shkudun — were left for SU, and both would need to win.

Hegab held strong against Nadia Gizdova in No. 6 singles, but Renaud played antagonist to see georgia
