Take Back the Night draws dozens to rally against sexual assault, rape culture By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

yracuse University seniors Nathalie Pollack and Gabrielle Krawczuk shouted and jumped down Marshall Street together. They had been together since freshman year, when they were roommates. They were together years ago at the hospital, after Pollack was sexually assaulted. They were together when Pollack reported the assault to the police and SU’s Title IX office. And they were together again Wednesday night, marching down the streets near campus as part of Take Back the Night, an annual rally and call to action to stand against sexual assault, interpersonal violence and rape culture. “I know that no one should be made to feel as insignificant as I did that night,” see rally page 4

School of Architecture students voiced concerns during a forum on Tuesday about Syracuse University professors who were anonymously accused of alleged misconduct on a nationally circulated Google Sheet that was sent to the school’s undergraduate body listserv last weekend. The spreadsheet includes about 150 professors from across the country who have anonymously been accused of “alleged misconduct involving physical contact, harassment, or threats.” The Tuesday architecture forum in Slocum Auditorium, planned before the spreadsheet’s release, was originally intended to be a discussion about general student concerns and design studio culture. Instead, the event mostly focused on the Google Sheet, which included on its list three current and two past SU architecture professors accused of misconduct that ranged from inappropriate touching to inappropriate comments about students’ appearances. None of the current SU professors accused of misconduct responded to multiple requests for comment Wednesday afternoon. Two School of Architecture professors were accused of inappropriately touching female students. One anonymous commenter alleged a current professor touched their collar when they were alone with the professor, according to the Google Sheet. Two anonymous commenters alleged the same professor had made comments about students’ physical appearances. Two anonymous commenters accused a former architecture professor of being “touchy,” with one commenter alleging the professor often touched their hands and arms. Michael Speaks, dean of the School of Architecture, said in a Wednesday email to the school that he was aware of the Google Sheet and found it concerning. Speaks also said that ensuring members of the school’s community are “welcomed, supported and empowered is intrinsic to our academic vision and mission.” “I am disappointed to learn that some of our community members have had experiences that contradict these values,” he said. Speaks said it “became obvious” after the Tuesday forum that the School of Architecture “must come see forum page 4

College plans for likely building destruction By Daniel Strauss asst. digital editor

Syracuse University’s Physics Building will likely be replaced in coming years as part of a multi-million project that the College of Arts and Sciences is planning for in its new Academic Strategic Plan, the college’s dean said in a recent interview. The College of Arts and Sciences’ strategic plan, recently released by officials, lists a new “state-of-the art” research space among the college’s goals, along with increasing diversity and support for international students and the humanities. The new academic plan works in tangent with the Campus Framework, a document that outlines short- and long-term development goals of the university.

Karin Ruhlandt, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the school’s strategic plan makes reference to the Physics Building. “The Campus Framework is actually showing plans with the Physics Building gone, so we need a new one,” Ruhlandt said. Chancellor Kent Syverud, in a speech in January, said all of the university’s schools and colleges now have their individual Academic Strategic Plans drafted. Those plans fall under the university’s overarching Academic Strategic Plan, which has been developed during Syverud’s time as chancellor. The cost for a new Physics Building is estimated to be between $120 million and $140 million, the dean said, adding that a strong fundraising initiative needs to take place to cover the cost.

The new building would tie into several other initiatives the College of Arts and Sciences has identified in its Academic Strategic Plan, such as peer-led team learning and shared equipment space for research. Peer-led team learning is a method for students to work in a small group, normally six to eight students per group, and complete assignments with a peer leader. “We need classrooms without fixed seating so that people can work in groups,” Ruhlandt said. “We would like to build classrooms that are highly flexible to allow for all different sorts of learning.” The shared equipment space, maintained by a full-time staff, would provide faculty members access to expensive materials for their research, Ruhlandt said.

The College of Arts and Sciences is also seeking to hire new grant coordinators to support humanities faculty, according to its strategic plan. Ruhlandt said that, even though the university is already well-equipped to secure funding through National Science Foundation and National Institute of Health grants, SU lacks the expertise in funding for humanities research. “We need to help faculty to increase the chances to get such funding,” Ruhlandt said. “Funding in the humanities sector is incredibly competitive.” The strategic plan, Ruhlandt said, calls for hiring an associate dean for inclusion and diversity because that is a major focus of the college. The dean said the associate see building page 4

Women’s History Month exhibits on display contributing writer

Syracuse University Libraries currently have two exhibits on display in Bird Library and Carnegie Library in honor of Women’s History Month. On the first floor of Bird, there’s an exhibit commemorating the centennial anniversary of women’s suffrage in New York state, and its ties to the region’s local history. In Carnegie, there’s an exhibit named “Forces of Nature,” featuring pop-art posters of famous women who were pioneers in science, technology, engineering and

mathematics fields. The posters are set up on easels and spread throughout the main entranceway. The women’s suffrage exhibit in Bird is on loan from the Central New York Libraries Resource Council and will be featured in other regional libraries throughout the rest of the year. The “Forces of Nature” posters were used with permission from the Perimeter Institute to create a complementary exhibit as a way to draw more attention to Women’s History Month. “It’s important to celebrate the integral role that women have had in shaping history — whether it be through their

groundbreaking discoveries in advancing science or their persistence in fighting for equality and civil rights,” said Tarida Anantachai, outreach librarian for SU, in an email. Anantachai said the exhibits act as a way to draw attention to women and continue to amplify their voices and contributions beyond Women’s History Month. Hart said she believes it’s important to seize every opportunity to highlight women’s accomplishments, especially in STEM fields, which are primarily dominated by men. The exhibits have been receiving a reasonable amount of atten-

tion — both in person and on social media, Anantachai said. The women’s suffrage exhibit will be in Bird until the end of the month and will then be moved to the Onondaga Free Library and Camillus Middle School. The “Forces of Nature” exhibit will be in Carnegie Library until the end of the month, and then will be replaced by SU Libraries’ Fifth Annual Human Library in mid-April. “I hope that Women’s History Month and the incredible women scientists represented in the posters are a source of courage and strength and a reminder for those passing by to seize the day,” Hart said. jtkoster@syr.edu

rally Pollack said, tearful, during a speech she gave with Krawczuk in Hendricks Chapel before the march. The decades-old rally is acknowledged around the globe. It aims to spread knowledge of sexual and domestic violence, and encourages people to speak out against it. The rally started with Hendricks Chapel Dean Brian Konkol walking through an audience of hundreds of people, briefly introducing the event and the chapel. He said that everyone in the room had dignity, community and the ability to make a difference. “Hendricks, since its founding in 1930, is more than a safe space,” he said. “Because to be a safe space, you need to also be a brave space. And to be brave is to not only speak truth to power, but it’s also listening for power in truth.” Speakers at this year’s event included Krawczuk and Pollack, along with Dolan Evanovich, senior vice president for enrollment and the student experience; Office of Health Promotion peer educators; and keynote speaker Tekhara Watson, a staff therapist at SU. The night began on a lighter note, with a series of skits by Office of Health Promotion peer educators. They demonstrated how to be a “prosocial bystander” and speak out in from page 1

forum together to assess where we are as a community and determine where we’d like to be.” Multiple people present at the forum said students raised concerns about the university’s response to the allegations. Speaks made it clear the university could not take legal action in response to the claims on the spreadsheet if the allegations were anonymous, several forum attendees said. “He kept saying how the school had to be very agnostic about the whole thing because there was nothing they could do,” said Hannah Michaelson, a Class of 2020 architecture

situations such as catcalling or witnessing an unhealthy relationship. Watson, the keynote speaker who used to work at Vera House in Syracuse, was described as a “social justice warrior with black girl magic” by a former coworker. Watson said violence can affect anyone. “This is more than just a hashtag movement. Speak up and speak out. I repeat, speak up and speak out,” she said. Watson read statistics from the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence, which states that one in five women will be raped in their lifetime. Watson highlighted the differences in statistics between women of color, white women and women who are queer-identifying. As rally attendees made their way down Marshall Street, cries of “Hey hey, ho ho! Rape culture has got to go!” and “Take back the night! Syracuse unite!” filled the air, as demonstrators marched behind a police escort that led the demonstration. “It brings light to a lot of problems that university students are facing,” said Student Association Student Life Chair Elizabeth Sedore, who attended Take Back the Night. “We need to have our voices heard, and we need to bring attention to these events happening because it’s really damaging to our community, our country and our society.” student who attended Tuesday’s forum. Faculty were still troubled by the situation, said Shreeya Shakya, a Class of 2019 architecture student who also attended the forum. “The faculty were very clear in the fact that just because … they couldn’t take legal action didn’t mean they were not concerned,” she said. Lori Brown, a School of Architecture professor, said the meeting lasted two hours, about twice as long as originally scheduled. Students were “incredibly concerned” and said there had been no previous public comment about the spreadsheet after it had circulated on the undergraduate listerv, Brown said.

Rachel Saunders, co-chair of the Take Back the Night planning committee and a survivor of sexual assault, said she thought it’s important for people to have their voices heard. “This event is important for survivors because it shows that there is support in the community,” Saunders said. “There are people who are going to believe you.” At the end of the rally, members of the plan-

ning committee read off ways attendees said they would “take back the night.” Pollack said sharing her story with Krawczuk was a release for her, and she said she hopes it showed attendees there’s support if they go through similar experiences. She ended the night shouting and smiling with her freshman year roommate.

The discussion about the Google Sheet eventually turned into a talk about larger cultural issues in the architecture industry and architecture education, forum attendees said. “Clearly this is, as I had mentioned at the forum, it’s representative of a much larger cultural and social issue,” Brown said. “Our discipline is one among almost all of them who have incredibly embedded gender biases and inequities that need radical change.” Speaks said he has reached out to others at SU to address issues he learned of and will follow recommendations he receives. The dean also said he plans to speak with many students

in coming days and weeks to “get a better sense of how the School of Architecture is doing.” Brown said faculty were not briefed on the spreadsheet before Tuesday’s forum, and some had not received any information about the list before Speaks sent an email addressing the concerns Wednesday afternoon. A Title IX office representative will attend a School of Architecture faculty meeting later this week, Brown said. The school will also organize a second forum later this semester, she added. — News Editor Sam Ogozalek and Asst. News Editor Kennedy Rose contributed reporting to this article.

During her time at SUNY-ESF, Moran said she has already seen a decrease in the college’s dependence on SU for general education instruction. The one class SUNY-ESF still relies on SU for is physics because SUNY-ESF does not have a proper lab. The current administration, Moran said, has not been involving faculty in a lot of discussions, especially ones related to increased enrollment or strategic plans. She added that she’s not sure how well thought out SUNY-ESF’s plans are or how confident SU should be in them.

SUNY-ESF strategic plan

“There’s been a lot of news coming out of SUNY-ESF recently,” Syverud said. In addition to President Quentin Wheeler announcing he will step down at the end of June, Syverud said SUNY-ESF has also released its strategic growth plans. The plans have potential implications for SU, he said. In the plans, SUNY-ESF announced its intention to grow its undergraduate population by as much as 50 percent, or about 1,000 students. SUNY-ESF said it also wants to create a general education school to shift topics of instruction from SU’s College of Arts and Sciences to SUNY-ESF. “Given the long-standing partnership between SU and SUNY-ESF, this newly announced strategy requires us to seriously consider and reflect on our relationship with SUNY-ESF,” Syverud said. The chancellor added that he has asked senior leaders at SU to make recommendations that are mutually beneficial for both SU’s Academic Strategic Plan and SUNY-ESF’s strategic initiative. One faculty member asked Syverud for a timeframe of when SUNY-ESF will make these enrollment changes. Syverud said he couldn’t speak to a specific timeframe, but the anticipated changes at SUNY-ESF will have effects on enrollment at SU. Sharon Moran, the sole SUNY-ESF representative on the University Senate, spoke up during the meeting to provide some insight into SUNY-ESF’s side of the issue. from page 3

Swimming pool changes

The chancellor said he has heard a lot of concern regarding the number of lap lanes for the pool in the newly redesigned Archbold Gymnasium. Archbold is currently under renovation with plans to reopen in fall 2019 as “The Arch.” Syverud said there was “considerable engagement” with the university community about the redesign of Archbold, including a survey of 5,000 students, faculty and staff. Once renovations at Archbold are complete, SU will have two swimming pools, both with lap lanes. The number of swimming lanes for the pool in Archbold, though, will continue to be discussed among the SU community, Syverud said. The current plan for Archbold’s swimming pool, and the reason behind having less lap lanes, is to incorporate modern, inclusive and accessible options for the university community, Syverud said. He said this approach was a result of feedback from undergraduate students in particular. Svyerud added that he’s asked SU’s recreation services and campus planning, design and construction to revisit the design plan and ask for more feedback from the community. smswann@syr.edu | @saramswann

create a language support office to assist international students and a English-only language lounge for all students of all backgrounds to interact and increase English communication skills. “We really feel that through paying close attention to creating a diverse and inclusive environment we will be enhancing the student experience and the scholarship,” Ruhlandt said. dstrauss@syr.edu

Save time and money on grocery trips with Instacart

he chance to shop online for fresh meat and produce is coming to a website near you. Instacart is a grocery delivery service using a decentralized model that allows customers to order groceries online or through a mobile app and have them delivered SCOTT the same day, BINGLE TWO CENTS within hours, from established stores. Partnered with 190 retailers and grocers, Instacart has personal shoppers pick up the groceries and deliver them to customers. In Syracuse, the service is available at Costco, Wegmans, Tops Friendly Markets and Price Chopper. And with the recent additions of Sam’s Club and Aldi to Instacart’s arsenal, students can increase the quality of their groceries rather than the quantity of their bills. Following in the footsteps of Amazon, which announced its acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017, Instacart is rising as a competitor to change the way consumers buy goods. With 210 markets nationwide, a net worth of $4.2 billion and availability in 70 million American and Canadian households, what was once a mere startup is challenging one of the largest global companies. Amazon, on the other hand, is on a quest to control the entire retail industry. Amazon Prime has disrupted the brick-and-mortar retail world. But little has changed since it acquired Whole Foods, a supermarket chain emphasizing healthy foods with more than 459 locations in the United States. Some stores have been used to test pilot programs for some of Amazon’s ideas, but for most of the Whole Foods locations, it’s business as usual. The pilot program with the largest threat to Instacart is Prime Now, Amazon’s attempt to offer

two-hour delivery on groceries from Whole Foods locations. On the surface, this seems like a death sentence for Instacart, but it’s not. Prime Now’s partnership with Whole Foods is still fledging and is only available in a handful of major cities on a trial basis. Even if the program expands to all Whole Foods locations, it’s minor compared to Instacart’s national breadth. Because its locations lead toward majority-urban areas and its products are pricier than in traditional supermarkets, Whole Foods’ marketability isn’t accessible in cities like Syracuse. But Instacart’s partnership with retail chains across the country provides consumers with options and leverages the established brands of retailers and groceries. Instacart has an added benefit in cities like Syracuse, which have large populations of people with limited mobility like college students and senior citizens. There are more than 37,000 full-time and part-time college students in the greater Syracuse area, according to CityTownInfo.com, all who are ideal customers for the service. Still, for Amazon and Instacart, the goal is centered around fundamentally changing the way groceries are bought and sold. Instacart’s pitch is simple: Let it deliver groceries to your home from the places you trust. To compete, Amazon must convince customers to want their groceries delivered and have them delivered from an unfamiliar retailer. While Amazon will spend the next few years trying to expand Prime Now to all its Whole Foods locations, Instacart will be busy becoming a household name in cities like Syracuse. This, in the long term, will help give customers — and Instacart — more bang for their digital buck.

iSchool app discourages skipping class

n iSchool professor’s new class attendance app might make you think twice about skipping your morning lecture. Yun Huang, an assistant professor in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, was recently awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation for her development of Bluetooth Low Energy Beacon technology, which allows users to track the movements of their peers across campus and in the classroom. The technology is on trial in Hinds Hall, which houses the iSchool. Some flooring in the building is marked by white tiles printed with a blue “S” that mark designated areas for Bluetooth technology. Through her research, Huang developed SU Connect, a mobile app used by professors to keep track of student attendance. As part of course enrollment, students are expected to download the app, which automatically verifies their attendance in lectures. Huang said the technology converges the tech world with students’ own reality. “We start from the research, but then it will hit the market that meet the real needs,” Huang said. “This is a good transition that demonstrates there is a synergy between research and applied research.”

ELDON TSOI TEK SAVVIE

Huang said the most important element of the app is its measure of success on campus. And particularly for college students entering the final months of the semester, attendance apps add a layer of accountability. “Using Beacon technology was first inspired by how to improve awareness of campus resources,” Huang said. “But then it evolved to be class attendance, because that’s the entry point of how it gets to the student population.” Because big lectures usually consist of more than 200 students, it can be difficult for professors to keep track of which students are consistently attending lectures. And with finals season a mere month away, being present and engaged in class is more important than ever. Jeff Rubin, an associate professor in the iSchool, said the iBeacon technology is helping professors keep track of class attendance and, in turn, academic success. “There’s the beacons, SU Connect and the human element,” Rubin said. “I can raise a flag for anyone who has been there for less

than 50 percent of the class. And so now I can correlate attendance to exam scores, which I couldn’t do in the past. That becomes really powerful to assist in a student’s education, to be able to have communication with students based on data.” Class attendance is a key factor in academic success. For professors in large lectures, the ability to track student attendance translates to how they can anticipate student performance on exams. “My exams are very much based on lecture materials,” Rubin said. “If you’re not there for the lecture materials, chances are you are not going to do well in the exam. But I was never able to prove that point. Now I can.” Huang said the technology is only gaining momentum. More than 10 instructors expressed interest in downloading the SU Connect app for their classes, and about 700 students are currently using the app. So next time you want to skip class for a Netflix binge, give a second thought to apps that can track whether you’re in class or not. Your GPA will thank you later.

Light Work, Newhouse to feature students’ photography By Lydia Niles

asst. digital editor

Students in the multimedia photography and design program at the Newhouse School all have different catalysts for pursuing their stories, but the connecting thread is to challenge their audience. Light Work, a photography nonprofit, has partnered with the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications to showcase student work in the “2018 Newhouse Photography Annual.” The exhibition reception will take place Thursday from 5-7 p.m. in Light Work’s Hallway Gallery, and the work will be on display through July 27. This is the photography annual’s first year, and the idea developed through conversations between the nonprofit and Bruce Strong, chair of the MPD department. “I think it’s an opportunity to celebrate the range and quality of the work that our students are producing,” Strong said. “And in that process, invite the public to see it.” Strong, members of the MPD department and guest judge Lauren Steel, who is the founder and visuals director at The Verbatim Agency,

selected the showcased photos. The point of the annual wasn’t to curate harmonizing work but to showcase student work to the public. Strong added that narrowing down the final 30 was a challenge. When the committee got together to make its decisions on the winners, it came down to which photos appealed to them the most — they didn’t know whose photos were whose, because that’s not what it was about. The result was a variety of work, ranging from photojournalism that follows the lives of local farmers, a young girl with terminal brain cancer and an international project in Colombia to illustrative photography with complicated light, texture and color that challenges the viewer to make their own story. Colleen Cambier, a graduate student whose work is featured, embarked on a yearlong project in January 2017 to shed light on the offseason in the agriculture field. Cambier, who is also a staff photographer for The Daily Orange, worked with three local family farms, and it wasn’t long until she began to truly know their way of life. “You get to see what their childhood is like growing up on this farm and what chores they have to do to help (the family),” Cambier said.

The photographer also noted the unconventional ways children find fun, which is something she wanted her work to help people think about. “I like to educate people because I think knowledge is power, and the more knowledge you have, I think it makes you a more wellrounded individual,” Cambier said. Moriah Ratner, a former assistant photo editor and current staff photographer for The D.O., also chose to document family. Her story followed Lola, a young girl with terminal brain cancer. After a few weeks, what started out as a school assignment quickly turned into something much bigger. “I felt like I owed it to the family to ensure that they had pictures of all of them together and of her,” Ratner said. “Pictures that show who she is, and her spirit and that she is not defined by her cancer and that there is more to Lola than her diagnosis.” Her photojournalistic work on Lola has earned the senior several awards, including grants, but to her, “it just was never about the grade.” While Ratner’s piece in the exhibit is a part of Lola’s story, graduate student Zach

Krahmer has traveled the world to visually reveal how policies can affect the individual. He’s pursuing dual graduate degree in international relations and photography with a certificate of advanced study in conflict resolution in an effort to not only capture these effects, but to have the ability to speak about them as well. Krahmer has two pieces featured, one of which is a photo of ice climbing, which he describes as more of a pretty picture. The other was taken during his time exploring a 50-year long dispute within Colombia. “The work itself is meant, within Colombia, to draw more awareness to this (issue),” Krahmer said. He cut through the mass amounts of images people see every day and used an alternative photographic process to draw attention to the story, said Krahmer, who is only the second student to be in a dual graduate program in Strong’s 11 years at Newhouse. Strong said of Cambier, Ratner and Krahmer: “They’re all in very different places, but I think as a whole they represent our program quite well.” lnilesst@syr.edu

Chabad House at SU to hold interactive Passover Seders By Jiaman Peng staff writer

This weekend will start Zalman Ives’ first Passover as associate rabbi and program director at Syracuse University’s Chabad House. He’s preparing to host interactive Passover Seders for the Jewish holiday that begins Friday night after taking over as rabbi last fall. Traditionally, a Passover Seder consists of

a ceremonial dinner and a ritual service, but SU will put its own spin on the traditional meal. The Ives will host Interactive Passover Seders featuring Jewish traditions along with a “Jewpardy” game and Seder puppets on Friday and Saturday at Chabad House. Zalman and his wife, Sarah, hope to make the Jewish faith and customs accessible and relevant in today’s culture. Sarah, Chabad House’s co-programming director, will prepare a traditional Passover

meal. In addition, Chabad House, which is located at 825 Ostrom Ave., will sell handbaked, round shmurah matzah for people who would like it to-go, Zalman said. “Shmurah” means “guarded” in Hebrew, he said, and matzah — unleavened bread — represents humility, along with the concept of not rising or bloating. Zalman suggested that if anyone goes to a grocery store to buy boxed square matzah, they should make sure it’s shmurah. Passover is not just commemorating the Jewish people’s exodus out of Egypt, Zalman said, but finding and reliving the idea of freedom through one’s personal life. To Zalman, the idea of freedom is always relevant. “Sometimes, the freedom is not from the things outside of ourselves, but it’s from things within ourselves. Getting free of all our own limitations, all our … hang-ups,” he said. Founded in 1981, SU’s Chabad House is one of more than 3,500 Chabad centers around the world that serve the needs of Jewish communities, he said. He added that there are many ways to serve God, including through action and emotion. Jews are educated from a young age to teach what they know about their faith, no matter how little, to fellow Jews because it may help them. Sarah said that it’s been the couple’s dream to run a Chabad House. They were attracted by the type of students at Syracuse University, the administration’s support of religious life and the welcoming nature of Brian Konkol, the new dean at Hendricks Chapel, Zalman said.

“To just service Jewish students and be there for whatever they need,” Sarah said, “whether it’s a listening ear, or some actual help, or chicken and soup.” She wants students to feel comfortable being themselves without judgment at Chabad House and build personal relationships, she said. Zalman added that the couple enjoys the young energy and open minds of college students. Raquel Wedgle, president of Chabad at SU and a senior public relations major, said the Ives make a strong effort to be a presence on campus. Chabad House quickly became a home away from home where she can be herself, she said. “If I didn’t have Chabad here, quite honestly I don’t think I would be at Syracuse anymore,” Wedgle said. Zalman said he aims for Chabad House to engage with 250 students — 10 percent of the Jewish undergraduate student body — each week. Currently, the house on Ostrom Avenue hosts home-cooked Shabbat meals with service every Friday evening and has hosted other events such as Hanukkah, Shabbat bring-afriend and Purim. Chabad House will also host SU’s first-ever Mega Shabbat at the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel & Conference Center on April 20, culminating Jewish Heritage Week. Services this weekend start at 7:15 p.m. at the Chabad House for the Seders. Students are encouraged to RSVP online, and Seder will last about two hours. jpeng04@syr.edu

levy

started coaching her and enforced a mandate she still competes by: Just make the play, no matter what. Levy leads the Orange in points (34), shots (52) and is second in goals (27). The junior has carved out her role as Syracuse’s premier playmaker on an offense searching for creativity. SU averaged 19 goals per game as of two weeks ago, but in its last two games, both losses, it’s scored 20 total. To end its current skid and earn its first conference win, No. 12 SU (6-4, 0-2 Atlantic Coast) will need Levy to extend her hot-streak against No. 20 Duke (6-4, 1-2) on March 31 in Durham, North Carolina. “She’s a very innovative player,” redshirt senior Taylor Gait said. “She’s always trying to raise the game. Levy is so good. She can do (tricks) in a game and constantly do it and be accurate.” Completing some yard work while Levy was in third grade, Steve learned his daughter was a quick learner. He would demonstrate a stick trick to Levy and return to work. A few minutes later, Levy mastered the technique and Steve would have to take another break to show his daughter something new. Steve preached to his daughter the difference between scoring and shooting angles. In practices as a child, Levy walked the field with a goalie in net and observed the netminder’s placement. She analyzed the openings and soon realized a well-timed behind-the-back shot opened up the backside of her target. “You show her something once,” Steve said, “give her a few reps and it becomes part of her repertoire. … There’s a right time and a wrong time to do it. You’re not doing it for flash, you’re doing it to increase your scoring angle.” One opportunity to showcase her skills was in her eighth-grade year, Levy’s first on the varsity team. Just inside the 8-meter during an early-season game, she scored off a behindthe-back shot. Teammates looked at each other, mouths open and shocked. An excited Levy marched the sideline and screamed. “Did you see that?” Steve remembered Levy saying. from page 12

lopoo then-No. 88 Eliza Omirou. Associate head coach Shelley George’s husband turned his body away from the altercation and faced the crowd. “I’ve never seen him that mad before,” he said with a smirk to nearly 30 people watching at Drumlins Country Club. After the two cooled down, Ramirez flashed a smile in the direction of Lopoo and grabbed the ball to hold serve. “He had my back,” Ramirez said after the match, “... like he always does.” Lopoo, who declined to be interviewed for this story, has become No. 34 Syracuse’s (12-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast) “X-factor” — as head coach Younes Limam put it — during home matches and behind the scenes. His instincts with inmatch decisions and willingness to compete alongside players during practice set him apart from page 12

runs

finished 15-of-17. That’s also the only game SU has not allowed a three-goal run. In the Orange’s next contest, a 15-3 loss to now-No. 1 Albany, Varello finished 3-of-13, and Syracuse as a whole went 5-of-22 at the faceoff X as the Great Danes dominated possession the entire game. From the 11:50 mark in the first period until the 6:02 mark in the third, SU did not muster a goal, while Albany rattled off seven straight. Then following SU’s second goal, the Orange couldn’t score until there was 7:46 left in the fourth quarter. By that time, Albany led 13-3. When the final whistle blew, the Great Danes had won 12 more faceoffs and scored 12 more goals than the Orange. “It’s too much to ask our defense to play 75, 80 percent of the game,” Desko said. Through the first three quarters, Syracuse held the ball for 10 of the 45 minutes, including a minute and a half in the third quarter when Albany scored seven goals and limited the Orange to one. “We (the defense) played possession after

NICOLE LEVY leads Syracuse’s Top 5-ranked offense in points (34) and shots (52). She comes in second on the team in goals as well with 27. Levy’s offensive prowess has helped the Orange’s attack churn. max freund staff photographer

In Levy’s freshman season at SU, two upperclassman dodgers, including Kayla Treanor, relegated Levy to the perimeter. She quickly developed an outside shot and was set to take over last season before a lower-body injury derailed her. Now, she’s demonstrating what the offense missed a year ago and is taking the role that others left for her. “It kind of went from Kayla Treanor doing cool things to then Levy doing cool things,” Gait said. Before the Orange’s opener against the Hus-

kies, Levy, Hawryschuk and senior Alie Jimerson competed for two starting spots. Gary Gait told them that they would be rotated in throughout the year, but one would have to start the first game on the bench. They were going to flip a coin to decide, but Levy volunteered. By the team’s fifth contest, she was inserted into the starting lineup and hasn’t left since. Steve still gives Levy advice, sending her videos of men lacrosse stars like Lyle Thompson. He’s still waiting to see his daughter break out a question mark dodge — a technique where an

attack drives the net from behind the crease and fakes out a defender — in a game. Steve knows his daughter won’t force it. She will wait for the right time to shock a crowd. In the second half of SU’s game against UConn, Levy received a pass and ripped it behind her back in one motion. The ball whizzed into the back side of the net and froze the Connecticut goaltender. Levy flung her stick to the turf and jutted out her arms as if to ask, “Did you see that?”

from other volunteer coaches, Limam said. A teenage Lopoo played tennis at Catholic High in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he eventually ranked nationally as a top-20 junior player. After four team and three individual state championships in high school, Lopoo joined the tennis team at Louisiana State University, per Lopoo’s Cuse.com bio page. Following the end of his collegiate tennis career, Lopoo received his master’s and PhD at the University of Chicago. He’s been a professor at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs since 2003. In 2011, he joined the SU’s women’s tennis team as a volunteer coach. But he isn’t an ordinary volunteer coach, Limam said. Limam was hired as head coach in 2014 to change the culture of Syracuse’s program. One of the first things he did when he arrived at Syracuse was get lunch with Lopoo, who had spent the last two seasons coaching SU. The two met at Pascale Italian Bistro, a res-

taurant connected to Drumlins Country Club, the site of the Orange’s home matches. They talked about everything: family, team philosophy, expectations and changes to recruiting strategy. Limam didn’t know any of the players he would coach entering the 2015-16 season, so he asked Lopoo to analyze each of their playing styles. Limam left with a good feeling. “I knew we saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things,” Limam said. “It was not a question to keep him on our coaching staff.” Now four years into his partnership with Limam, Lopoo puts his tennis skills to use in morning practices. Two to three times a week, Lopoo will play several sets of singles and doubles against players, including Ramirez. “He’s a bit tricky,” Ramirez said, “He doesn’t play like anyone else on the team. (He) slices his backhand a lot, has a kick serve, plays baseline-to-baseline. It’s usually a pretty even match between us, but it helps a lot.” Lopoo points out subtle strategic adjust-

ments to the players he competes with in practice, but while coaching them, his demeanor adapts to specific situations. “He has the instinct to know what players need,” Limam said. “Usually it’s a quick decision, it’s natural.” For Ramirez, the player Lopoo most often shadows during matches this season, positivity and reinforcement help her get to a “perfect mental state,” she said. In tight positions, Lopoo insists that Ramirez is the better player on the court and convinces her to trust her shots and instincts, she said. On gameday, each of SU’s three coaches generally hones in on a specific doubles and singles match. While Lopoo is just a volunteer assistant, Limam trusts his decision-making and game plan “100 percent.” “He helped me when I first got here,” Limam said, “and now he helps (the players) a lot. He’s a big part of what we do here.”

possession after possession,” Nick Mellen said. “I know I felt tired. … It was a long game defensively. We need to be able to play sharp while we’re tired.”

In some games, though, Varello and the Orange faceoff crew have performed well, while other units struggled. Against Rutgers on March 18, SU won 57.1 percent of its faceoffs, but Syracuse turnovers keyed the Scarlet Knights to seven-straight goals in the second half and a four-goal win. Ahead 8-7, Madonna attempted a clear downfield. When he followed through on his pass, the ball slipped out of his pocket, traveling only a few feet and falling directly into the stick of Rutgers attack Jules Heningburg. With no defenders in striking distance, Heningburg easily scored on a backtracking Madonna to tie the game before scoring another goal 34 seconds later. The Orange never led again. That was just one of a season-high 22 turnovers Syracuse gave away in the 14-10 road loss. After SU led 4-2, Rutgers outscored the Orange 12-4 from 4:15 remaining in the first quarter until the final 1:20 of the last quarter, when SU added two garbage-time man-up goals. “In the second half we lost our composure,” Desko said. “We made a lot of mistakes in clears (and) offensively. … Any time you’re forcing things and you’re trying to catch up, you’re going to get turnovers.”

In other games, the Orange has simply struggled to find the back of the net. On March 4 in Charlottesville, Virginia, UVA handed SU opportunities. The Cavaliers lost the faceoff battle 16-11 and committed 19 turnovers. Syracuse recorded 13 more shots with six on goal, earned an extra man-up opportunity, and one of Virginia’s top offensive weapons, midfielder Ryan Conrad, left the game with an injury. At one point, SU led Virginia 10-5, but a 6-1 Cavaliers run in the fourth quarter meant Syracuse needed a Tucker Dordevic game-winner to escape with a 12-11 win over Virginia. Syracuse has shown it has the talent to beat nearly any team in the country — especially after the Orange won 15-14 on the road against Duke — but due to a few minutes-long lapses each game, Syracuse has struggled to compete consistently. The Orange nearly blew the win against Duke, as SU led 11-9 before Duke rattled off four-straight goals to take a 13-11 lead. Syracuse eventually rallied to win by one, but a game that seemed in control suddenly didn’t. “We just need to settle down and get back to the basics,” Desko said.

85.7% Syracuse has surrendered four-goal runs in 85.7 percent of its games this season

A week later, Army led Syracuse 6-1 at the half behind a 7-2 faceoff edge. The Orange took advantage of Black Knights turnovers to come back and win, 11-10, in triple overtime, even as SU won 9-of-26 faceoffs.

AT THE X

SAVING FACE Syracuse uses any means to win faceoffs

By Josh Schafer

asst. sports editor

fter more than 19 goalless minutes, Nate Solomon broke Syracuse’s drought. Back within a goal of No. 3 Duke, Syracuse, which hadn’t won a faceoff in the quarter and was 7 of 20 in the game, needed the ball. The redshirt sophomore, who had only taken four faceoffs prior to Saturday, won the final five faceoffs of the game. Just two of them came off Martin’s ground ball pickups. Martin’s faceoff style isn’t to blow past an opposing faceoff specialist for a fast break. Known as a “raker,” his method centers around getting underneath the opposition’s stick, head coach John Desko said, and pushing the ball to open space. “We wanted to turn it into a ground ball,” Desko said. “I think our poles on the wings did a good job of getting us possessions in a very important part of the game.” Against Duke, which ranks last in the Atlantic Coast Conference in faceoff winning percentage, SU salvaged a win with a late-game adjustment — something par for the course for SU this season. The Orange has won fewer than half its faceoffs following the graduation of all-time program faceoff leader Ben Williams. Starting faceoff specialist sophomore Danny Varello, who was primed to take over Williams’ role, has won exactly half of his attempts this season, placing him 42nd out of 73 players listed by NCAA.com. Entering No. 10 Syracuse’s (4-3, 2-0 Atlantic

Coast) matchup with No. 7 Notre Dame (5-2, 1-0) on Saturday, the Orange will have won the faceoff battle in three of its seven games. Halfway through its season, the Orange isn’t excelling at the faceoff X. But it’s winning just enough and by any means possible. To start the season, SU relied heavily on Varello, who had succeeded when subbed in for brief stints last season. But things quickly changed after SU was decimated by the No. 1 faceoff man in the country — Albany’s TD Ierlan — and started 2-of-10 against then-No. 9 Army at the faceoff X. During the second half, Desko placed two long poles at the wings. This challenges the opposing faceoff specialist, Desko said, and exploits their sometimes weaker stick skills. In the third overtime against Army, the second long pole at the X sealed the game for SU, as Grant Murphy’s groundball eventually led to a Ryan Simmons goal on the ensuing break. A week later against then-No. 4 Virginia, a Top 10 faceoff team, Syracuse bested the Cavaliers by five draws. The Orange played with long poles on the wings for most of the game, which at times helped stop fast breaks, sometimes leading to turnovers. From there, the SU poles transitioned well into offense, with Brett Kennedy scoring twice in the game, once off a faceoff turnover by UVA. Before SU played Johns Hopkins on March 10, JHU head coach Dave Pietramala addressed the idea of incorporating long poles at the faceoff. “You bring two poles up there to the wings

and you try to muck it up a little bit,” Pietramala said before the game. “Make it more of a groundball rather than an actual faceoff where technique is important.” Pietramala said that his team prepared to play against two long sticks leading up to the game through having wing players practice disengaging from the scrum to open up an outlet pass. In addition, the Blue Jays practiced putting additional defensive pressure on their faceoff specialist Hunter Moreland, who wins nearly two-thirds of the faceoffs he takes. That success rate, which contributed to an eight faceoff advantage over SU, leads to a more defensive minded approach from opponents, Pietramala said. While Hopkins’ star faceoff specialist solved the Orange scheme on his own, Rutgers benefited from SU mistakes. Syracuse committed a season-high 22 turnovers against the Scarlet Knights, two of which came off faceoffs. “I think our faceoff ability and our ability to get the ball is fine,” Varello said the week following the Rutgers game. “We are really fine with that in that sense. But we really limit the turnovers we get after faceoff wins. If we win the faceoff battle, we need to convert that to offense and not turn the ball over.” Against Duke, the wins didn’t come early. So as it often has, the Orange turned the faceoff X into a ground ball battle, one which it dominated. And for the third time this season, with the game within a goal, Syracuse won the final possession, even if it looked a bit messy. jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

Syracuse has struggled at the faceoff X this season, winning fewer than half its faceoffs. In the win against Duke last weekend, Syracuse went 12-of-32. If the Orange wants to stay undefeated in the ACC, it will need to win faceoffs. jordan phelps staff photographer

UND-ER FIRE Despite being killed in faceoffs last week, Syracuse managed to pull off a huge win on the road against Duke. The win put the Orange in the Atlantic Coast Conference’s driver’s seat — at least for now. Notre Dame meanwhile has allowed double-digit goals twice all season. And both times, UND lost those games. But Syracuse’s offense has been so inconsistent, as seen in its three-goal output against Albany a week after 21 goals against Binghamton. Tack on the fact that SU faceoff specialist Danny Varello is slumping and UND’s John Travisano Jr. is having a bounce-back year, and the Fighting Irish have the advantage. There’s too much on UND’s side for this ACC matchup.

ST. PADDY’S DAY WAS LAST WEEK SU and Notre Dame are practically polar opposites. Notre Dame has been a model of consistency, not necessarily in the best way, but consistent nonetheless. Notre Dame has never scored fewer than nine goals or more than 12 this season. Meanwhile its opponents have all fallen between seven and 13. Syracuse has shown inconsistency, scoring as many as 21 goals while scoring as low as three. Coming off a 15-goal performance down in Durham, North Carolina, though, SU showed an ability to shoot efficiently and protect the ball. If the Orange can do the same at home against the Fighting Irish, it should send Notre Dame packing.

IT TAKES TWO The Orange has won back-to-back games just once this season. That changes Saturday night. Syracuse put together its most impressive offensive performance of the season against a Top 5 defense last weekend in Durham. It’s hard to say that momentum doesn’t carry over against Notre Dame, which sits 21st in the country in scoring defense with nine goals allowed per game. Couple that with Notre Dame’s conference-worst 10.3 goals per game and SU appears to have the advantage. If Syracuse limits itself to fewer than 10 turnovers again this Saturday, expect a repeat of the Duke game and a second-straight win for John Desko and company.

Syracuse, Army split 2 games By David Schneidman staff writer

Syracuse has struggled to stop opponents’ scoring runs this season. On three separate occasions, SU has allowed an opponent to rip off a six-goal run, burying the Orange. jordan phelps staff photographer

OVERRUN

An inability to stop opponents’ runs has hampered Syracuse By Matt Liberman staff writer

ohns Hopkins faceoff specialist Hunter Moreland picked up a ground ball in stride with no one around him. Moreland quickly dished the ball to Shack Stanwick, who raced toward Syracuse’s Dom Madonna in net. Nick Mellen was the only defender around the crease, standing between Stanwick and Kyle Marr. As Mellen stepped up to guard Stanwick, the attack dropped a quick pass off to Marr, who easily beat Madonna to put JHU up 2-0 on Syracuse. After nine minutes, the Blue Jays led 2-0 on the scoreboard and at the faceoff X. After SU won the next faceoff, David Lipka coughed up the Orange’s third turnover to give Hopkins another opportunity to score, and it did, extending the early lead to 3-0. JHU never trailed, going on to win 18-7 in the Carrier Dome on March 10. SU beat itself up against the Blue Jays, allowing them to go on three different runs of at least three goals. None of the runs took longer than six minutes.

Losing at the faceoff X, committing turnovers and making a plethora of other mistakes are problems No. 10 Syracuse (4-3, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) has struggled with all season. When combined together, they’ve led to — or nearly caused — defeat. Whether it be finding weak links or benefiting from missed Orange opportunities, SU opponents have put together scoring runs that have led to SU losses in the first half of this 2018 season. “We’ve been having these lapses since Albany,” Syracuse head coach John Desko said. “We’ve got to be able to play more composed, stop that and value our possessions.” SU has given up at least a four-goal run in six of its seven contests, and the Orange has surrendered multiple three-goal runs in four separate contests. The first issue comes at the faceoff X. Syracuse is not the dominant faceoff team it’s been in previous years. This season, Syracuse ranks 37th in the country, winning 47.9 percent of its faceoffs. The only time SU held a faceoff advantage greater than five was against Binghamton, when SU went 24-of-29 at the faceoff X and starter Danny Varello

Syracuse (16-12, 4-5 Atlantic Coast) split its doubleheader with Army (1117, 2-1 Patriot) on Wednesday afternoon in West Point, New York. The Orange won the first game, 4-1, with Alexa Romero throwing a careerbest 14 strikeouts in a complete game effort. Army got its revenge in the rematch and downed SU, 5-1. In the first game, Syracuse scored all four of its runs in the second inning. After a Toni Martin bunt advanced Gabby Teran to third base, Lailoni Mayfield singled to give SU its first run of the game. A batter later, Michala Maciolek extended the lead to three with a two-RBI single to left center. Alexa Romero returned to the top of her game, pitching a complete game and striking out a career-high 14 hitters. Romero registered her recordbreaking 14th strikeout on the last batter of the game. It was the second time she achieved her record on the last batter this season, with the first time coming on March 13 against Elon. Although Syracuse’s bats went quiet after the second inning, mustering just three hits, Romero’s brilliance preserved the lead. Army finally got on the board in the sixth inning when Amelia Trotter hit a solo shot to center field, but it did not spark a comeback. Martin got things started again in the second game with an RBI single in the first inning with two outs. Army then evened the score in the second inning when Kristen McPeek smacked an RBI double to left center. AnnaMarie Gatti started in the circle for SU. She allowed one run in the first two innings before two throwing errors — one apiece from Gatti and Sammy Fernandez — handed Army four unearned runs in the third. After the third, neither team scored a run for the rest of the game. The Orange tallied just one hit after the second inning. Syracuse resumes play on Saturday with its home opener, a doubleheader against Boston College set to start at 1 p.m. ddschnei@syr.edu

Levy displays creativity on offense Lopoo an ‘X-factor’ for Syracuse tennis By Nick Alvarez staff writer

Feet planted 10 yards away from her target, Nicole Levy waited to hear Emily Hawryschuk’s voice. Syracuse had a fast-break late in the first period against Connecticut on Feb. 9. Levy caught the ball and noticed the goalie shift toward her. LEVY She barely could make out the ‘51’ on Hawryschuk’s jersey, but knew that if the goalie was

repositioning, then every defender was moving, too.

Nicole Levy leads Syracuse with 34 points this season

Levy coiled as if she were about to shoot, then swung the ball behind her back, no look, to Hawryschuk. The sophomore attack finished after a pump fake and the Carrier Dome

crowd gasped. “I knew that it would increase my angle if I threw it behind my back,” Levy said. “… As soon as I heard her voice I was able to know that her girl was sliding. She’d be open if I just threw it to space.” The highlight — which has been viewed over 7,000 times on Twitter — is commonplace for Levy. Stick tricks have been rooted in Levy’s arsenal since she started playing lacrosse in third grade and have been displayed through SU’s first 10 games. They’ve become a natural extension of her game ever since her father, Steve, see levy page 9

The ball landed on the line, and Syracuse volunteer assistant coach Len Lopoo was sure of it. But the umpire called it out of bounds. Lopoo, a coach who prefers to not be in the spotlight, jumped from LOPOO his seat and

yelled at the top of his lungs. “Are you kidding me?” Lopoo said to the umpire. “That was right on the line. That was really right on the line.” Sophomore Miranda Ramirez, who was up 4-2 in the first set of her second singles match, threw up her hands in shock but let Lopoo do the talking. After the one-sided shouting continued for almost a minute, the umpire told Lopoo to “chill out.” The call stayed in favor of Wake Forest’s
