HESTER, Pa. — As a Case Matheis shot sailed over the Syracuse goal in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter, Paolo Ciferri raced Kyle Keenan to the ball to claim the final possession.

Ciferri’s outreached stick gave SU the ball and a gutsy comefrom-behind win. The Orange bench emptied onto the field and dogpiled around senior goalie Bobby Wardwell moments later,

while head coach John Desko embraced his coaching staff.

Across the field, Duke slowly paced away from the swarm of white Syracuse jerseys celebrating the first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship in program history.

“Very veteran older team, experienced, hungry,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “Older kids are hungry, there’s a sense of urgency.

“They know the clock is ticking for them and this is going to be over pretty soon.” see seniors page 16

Kayla Treanor’s late heroics lead Syracuse past UNC for ACC title

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — With 1:30 frozen on the clock in double overtime, Syracuse poured onto the field and surrounded Kayla Treanor.

After Treanor’s shot hit the twine, she turned right, threw her arms up and jumped. The team circled on the right side of the net. Then the celebration moved to the sideline.

For the third time in four days, SU celebrated a redemption victory, beating No. 3-seeded Boston Col-

lege and No. 2-seeded Duke — two teams that beat SU in the regular season — to reach the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament final.

For the second time in four days, Treanor made the game-winning play.

But for the first time in four days, it earned more than just another game.

“All throughout the year, I had the opportunity to say we could beat anybody and we could lose to anybody,” SU head coach Gary Gait said.

“And you know what? This week was our week, and we beat ‘em all.” see treanor page 19

A person not affiliated with Syracuse University was recently arrested after being seen taking phones and other items from unlocked Day Hall dorm rooms.

Witnesses saw London Chandler, 20, taking the items on April 19 and he was subsequently placed under arrest and lodged at the Onondaga County Justice Center, said Hannah Warren, public information and internal communications officer for the Department of Public Safety.

Chandler was charged with two counts of burglary in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree and attempted burglary in the second degree.

Chandler, from LaFayette, was signed into Day Hall by an SU student, Warren said. She added that Chandler admitted that he took phones and other items from unsecured residence hall rooms.

The investigation is ongoing and further information on the incident will be provided in the future, said John Sardino, associate chief of law enforcement and community policing for DPS. In addition, a Camillus man, 22, was arrested at 100 University Place on Wednesday at 9 p.m. on multiple charges. His charges included burglary in the second degree, criminal possession of stolen property in the fourth degree and grand larceny in the fourth degree, according to a Syracuse Police Department bulletin.

Senior crafts keys into rings for nonprofits

By Momin Rafi design editor

Jordan Dudden turns keys into a fashion statement.

In a jewelry and metalsmithing class she took last semester, Dudden had to make a ring. Unsure of how to approach the project, she took a set of keys from her late grandmother’s house and crafted them into literal key rings.

“I wore them around as a fashion statement for myself,” said Dudden, a senior communications design major.

People started asking her about the rings and where she got them from, so Dudden created her own startup called JoJo Rings.

Three months have passed since JoJo Rings was started. The collections are available at five boutiques in upstate New York — one in Skaneateles, Dudden’s hometown, and the rest in the Syracuse and Rochester areas.

“Our next big goal is to get out of New York,” Dudden said. “That’s when we go from being local to being an established brand.”

All of the keys are made in the SALT

Makerspace. Once a key is picked, it’s heated until the metal is malleable and a special tool is used to bend it into shape. It’s sized on an anvil with a mandrel, and then brought back to Dudden’s apartment and thrown in a tumbler for cleaning. After, it is brought back to the SALT Makerspace and buffed.

“It’s so fun to watch people look at these for the first time,” said Dudden, referencing her rings. “When they realize it’s a key, it’s a very defined moment.”

Some people send Dudden their own keys to be turned into rings. She said people have special connections with their keys — whether it’s a key to their first car or their apartment.

Dudden uses her startup to support positive social change. Every month, JoJo Rings partners with a nonprofit organization and the proceeds are donated to that charity. JoJo Rings has worked with Vera House, the Food Bank of Central New York and Syracuse Habitat for Humanity.

“Each ring reflects commitment to social change,” Dudden said. “Social good is one of our key principles.” mrafi@syr.edu

Gresely reflects on Neary hopes to build time as SA president on GSO experiences Gresely discusses importance of collaboration, session’s accomplishments during term as SA president

By Alexa Torrens staff writer

Boris Gresely said two things come to mind when he reflects on his time as president of the 58th Session of the Student Association at Syracuse University: teamwork and change.

My measurement of success is based on the success of my team. So when my team succeeds... that’s success for me.

On the wall behind Gresely’s desk in the SA office in the Schine Student Center are framed designs depicting some of his favorite athletes and sports teams, like Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi

and the San Antonio Spurs of the NBA. Gresely, a senior, said he is a proponent of teamwork, and often thinks about how collaboration among his cabinet members benefited his administration.

“My measurement of success is based on the success of my team,” he said. “So when my team succeeds at an initiative that I want them to tackle, that’s success for me.”

That team for Gresely is his cabinet, which includes his vice president, Daniela Lopez, and directors of the specialized SA committees.

The cabinet revolves its initiatives around Gresely’s plan to “reform, reconnect and redirect” the student body and the university, he said.

Through his three semesters as president, Gresely and the cabinet have also frequently worked with the SU administration to improve the student experience at the university.

Challenges, experiences as president equip Neary with skills to move forward after graduation

By Annie Palmer staff writer

Patrick Neary came to Syracuse University to pursue a doctoral degree in mathematics, but ended up focusing less on partial differential equations and more on making sure teaching assistants are paid what they deserve.

As his two-year term as Graduate Student Organization president comes to a close, Neary said the opportunity has equipped him with invaluable skills and experiences that he plans to apply beyond the realm of SU. Can Aslan, a graduate student in the College of Engineering and Computer Science, will be the next president of GSO. Last week, Neary attended at least four meetings in one day to meet with administrators on the state of the health care plan for graduate students. The university announced in March that it would require all graduate students, international students and incoming students to have an insurance plan compliant with the

Affordable Care Act by next year.

Neary said it’s not uncommon for professors in his department to ask, “Are you doing your math, Patrick?”

He’s enjoyed being GSO president so much that he hopes to enter university administration once he graduates. After working with Chancellor Kent Syverud, Senior Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs Rebecca Reed Kantrowitz and other SU administrators to help advocate for students, Neary said he realized that college campuses are an “an incredibly unique place.”

“Nowhere else do you have a private institution that has such open democratic processes,” Neary said. “It’s unheard of in pretty much any other aspect of the world, in that sense.”

Neary hinted that he may even ask Kantrowitz or Syverud for a letter of recommendation in the future.

“I’ve always enjoyed the fact that I do get a bit of a special perspective, it’s why I want to do university administration after this,” Neary see neary page 8

Republicans delayed Lynch’s confirmation for proper assessment

A

fter one of the longest waits in decades the new attorney general is confirmed.

On Thursday, Loretta Lynch became the first African-American woman to ever hold the title of attorney general.

But before the Senate could confirm her, Lynch had to move past a roadblock that came in the form of an anti-human trafficking bill.

Essentially, the Republican Party refused to acknowledge her nomination until the bill was dealt with. According to the Washington Post, “The deadlock was broken after both parties agreed on language specifying that a victims’ fund established by the legislation would not be used for healthcare or medical services, and thus not for abortions.”

Many viewed the Republicans’ delay of Lynch’s hearing as a race and gender issue.

In March, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-III.) said Republicans were making Lynch “sit in the back of the bus.” However, the Republican Party’s delay had nothing to do with race or gender. It was simply a tactic to ensure that Lynch is the type of person who has the power

VICTORIA RAZZI CANDIDLY CONSERVATIVE

and ability to restore the nation’s faith in the justice system.

The reason for the wariness can be attributed to the actions of former attorney general Eric Holder, who had a very rocky relationship with the Republican Party. This caused concern over the type of leader Lynch will be, mostly because she has supported President Barack Obama’s authority in taking executive action on immigration, according to The Washington Post. The job of the attorney general is to serve as head of law enforcement of the U.S. “When reviewing a candidate to serve as our nation’s chief law enforcement officer, a full and fair confirmation process is always essential and its importance has only increased in light of the troubling abuses under the current Attorney General,” Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), the longest-serving

member of the judiciary panel, said in a statement to The Washington Post.

The hesitation that the Republicans showed toward Lynch was because the executive actions taken by Obama regarding immigration have violated many fundamental Republican beliefs. The fact that Lynch had originally voiced support for those actions taken by the president made the Republicans unsure of what type of leader she might be.

“I want to see what happens in the hearings,” Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said. “But certainly I’m supportive.” McCain is a very well known conservative Republican who represents a lot of the ideals held by his party.

His sentiments sum up the qualms of the Republican Party regarding the confirmation of Lynch.

However, further evidence that the original disapproval of the Republican Party had nothing to do with race or gender can be found in the fact that Lynch met privately with many important Republicans to discuss her platform with them. Many of those she

talked with found solitude in the meetings, and began to become more comfortable with the idea of her becoming the new attorney general. In addition, after Lynch’s confirmation hearing, many Republicans also decided that Lynch will be a fine leader. According to Politico, “Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) all said in interviews they have met with Lynch privately are inclined to vote in favor of her nomination,” which they ultimately did.

The true heart of this issue is that members of opposing parties should not be so quick to assume that the Republican Party’s vetting of a candidate for attorney general was racist or sexist. The real reason for the delayed hearing was simply to make sure that Lynch has what it takes to not only become the new attorney general, but to restore trust in the position itself.

Google’s Wi-Fi cell service Project Fi corners market share

E

ven before exchanging pleasantries, anyone stepping into your home these days will ask, “What’s the Wi-Fi password?” We get upset when the hotel Wi-Fi isn’t as “high-speed” as advertised. We pull our hair

BRIAN CHEUNG I’M A BUSINESS, MAN

out when we get booted off a network.

But Google hopes to flip the script on Wi-Fi. Through the new Project Fi, which was launched last Wednesday, Google will merge Wi-Fi networks together to create a seamless service that will replace traditional data plans from Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. The service is being marketed as a cheaper and faster alternative to data plans, but Google has a lot to gain from Project Fi’s success: promoting its existing products.

And Google is also the only company, with the exception of Apple, that has the resources to make such an ambitious project happen.

This all sounds good to consumers, but the real winner with Project Fi would be Google. If connected to a Google Wi-Fi network, users would find it easier to video chat on Google Hangouts, make phone calls on Google Voice, send files on Google Drive, send emails on Gmail, etc. Project Fi would be an effective driving tool for increased use of Google products across the board.

Project Fi essentially takes about a million hotspots around the world and merges them into the “Fi Network,” on which users can connect and make phone calls. The service will also allow users to connect all their devices to one cell phone number, which would allow users to make phone calls on any of their devices.

The service will start at $20 per month for unlimited talk, texts, some international calls and roaming. Every gigabyte of data costs $10 extra every month, although credit will be reimbursed to your bill for any unused gigabytes.

It also reinforces use of its already popular software: Android. As of February, Android and

Apple’s iOS were nearly tied to U.S. smartphone market share, with Apple edging out Google by just 0.1 percent. The lower costs and flexibility of Project Fi could convince more Apple users to jump ship for an Android phone.

The only reason Google can pull off a trick like this is because it has the resources to do so. Project Fi is not a new idea — Best Buy, Staples, and Wal-Mart all offer wireless plans to their customers, although not all of them use Wi-Fi as strongly as Google plans to. Google has a strong footing in the mobile market and the infrastructure to play well with all of its Android platforms and Google products. This will convince consumers to trust Google and join the network.

The only other company that has the power to try something similar is Apple, which as of late has adopted an “anything you can do, I can do better” attitude toward Google. The Google-backed Moto 360 and Samsung Gear smartwatches came out long before the Apple Watch did, but Apple wanted to survey the competition before launching its own product. With Project Fi, Apple might find reason to connect all of its products to a seamless Wi-Fi network too. For now, Apple is likely just watching.

As it stands, Project Fi is only available to select users of the Nexus 6 phone, meaning consumers won’t see widespread use of Project Fi for a little while. Until then, you’ll just have to keep asking for the Wi-Fi password.

SA must focus on small, attainable goals The Student Association President Boris Gresely’s most successful initiatives were smaller goals with concrete plans. Moving forward, Aysha Seedat and Jane Hong should mirror this approach as they prepare to enter office in the Fall 2015 semester.

Gresely has served as the president of the 58th session of SA at Syracuse University for three semesters. This is because the student body approved a new constitution in November 2013, which realigned the presidential term with the academic calendar, not the calendar year. Gresely, a senior political science and public policy major, said his time in office has been spent carrying out ideas under his plan to “reform, reconnect and redirect” the student body and university.

However, this mentality of tackling large, abstract problems on campus can prove unproductive. This is seen in Gresely’s proposed plans to assess tuition increases and to upgrade the

Department of Public Safety uniforms, which never came to completion.

Gresely’s most successful initiatives were smaller goals, including the installation of more charging stations on campus and gaining access to emailing the SU student body.

Also, the use of emails under Gresely’s administration effectively improved SA’s communication with students, which is important when the role of SA is to act as the voice of the students.

Communication was a strong point of Gresely’s involvement in The Cuse Conference, an initiative proposed

by Gresely to bridge communication gaps between students, faculty and administrators. This was also reflected in Gresely’s collaboration with Fast Forward Syracuse, a three-part master plan to improve SU by Chancellor Kent Syverud.

Gresely took over as SA president when Syverud first took office.

scribble

Since that time, there has been close collaboration between SA and the administration. As president, Gresely represented the student body in the steering committee for the academic strategic plan and the undergraduate experience workgroup.

Gresely’s emphasis on collaboration is also seen in the fact that the 58th session of SA passed the most resolutions of any other in SA history.

Although Gresely had the advantage of working with an extra semester, Seedat must model her time in office to this productive nature. This can be done by focusing on smaller, more realistic goals with concrete plans in order to improve the student experience.

The role of the Student Association is not to tackle grand issues such as tuition increases, but to hone in on the most realistic ways to improve student life at SU. Moving forward, SA should strive to make smaller, but impactful changes on campus.

Jenner interview serves as educational opportunity on trans* issues

“F

or all intents and purposes, I am a woman,” Bruce Jenner told Diane Sawyer in a special two-hour edition of the ABC News show 20/20 Friday. After years of feeling that he was living a lie and the media were relentlessly hounding him, he is now at peace with his soul.

We can take away a lesson from Jenner that is all too often forgotten: tolerance. Understanding the complexities of gender and sexuality have come a long way, and we must progress with transgender people who are so daring and bold to come forward. Jenner and the transgender community do not have to explain themselves to the public, but Jenner chose to do so in order to make acceptance easier for the next generation of transgender people.

JULIA SMITH THE SASSY FEMINIST

Currently, prejudice and violence against the LGBT community is alarming. The murder rate for the LGBT community is higher than ever, according to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs, and this can be eradicated if Americans practice tolerance.

After months of the media speculating over every detail of the Olympic athlete and reality star’s body, including his nails, breasts, throat and clothing, Jenner used the media attention to cast light on the otherwise silenced topic of being transgender. In the interview, Jenner went back and Asst. News Editor Sara Swann Asst. News Editor Lydia Wilson Asst. Feature Editor Jacob Gedetsis Asst. Feature Editor Kait Hobson Asst. Sports Editor Sam Blum Asst. Sports Editor Matt Schneidman Asst. Photo Editor Isabella Barrionuevo Asst.

forth using the pronouns him and her, explaining how he is transitioning into a woman.

Pronouns are especially important to the transgender community, and in Jenner’s case, he referred to himself as he, so the media should continue to use this pronoun until he says otherwise.

For Jenner, this is simply him telling the truth and washing away the confusion. “I’m me, I’m a person and this is who I am. I’m not stuck in anybody’s body,” Jenner told Sawyer.

This concept seems to confuse most — regardless of age or political views. Far too often the phrase “weird” is used to describe Jenner and transgender people. Society must challenge itself and push past describing transgender people and their transitions as weird. It is also important that society

does not take Jenner’s story and apply it to all transgender people. Every transgender person has his or her own story to tell.

Sexuality and gender identity are separate and we must see them that way. Sexuality, or who we go to bed with, is different from gender identity, or who we are in our soul. For Jenner, he identifies as a heterosexual woman, interested in women. This can be confusing at first, but it is his truth.

Society must challenge itself to see beyond the boxes that we often put people in and realize our identities are far more complex than expected.

Instead of taking photos of Jenner’s every outfit, nail polish color and hairstyle, like so many magazines have stooped to, they should use Jenner’s spotlight as a time to educate people.

If more people can hear stories like Jenner’s and understand that it is not a choice, it is not a biological problem and it is most certainly not weird, society can move toward transgender equality. The next step is starting these conversations at home, not just in the media.

And equality should be seen as a bigger issue than ever before. Now is the time for political change, and for stories like Jenner’s to be accepted.

Society must explore other identities and come to an understanding that there is more than meets the eye.

OUT COLD Despite snow, cold and mud, Syracuse University students braved the unpleasant conditions to eat, drink and dance at this year’s Mayfest in Walnut Park.

On Friday, SU and State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry students gathered for the annual Mayfest event hosted by University Union. Admission to Mayfest was free to all SU and SUNY-ESF undergraduate students. Those in attendance took advantage of free food — including corn dogs, cotton candy and chicken tornados — as well as limited amounts of free beer for those above 21.

There were also music acts performing throughout the day, starting with DJ Ayo Alex, and followed by alternative artist VÉRITÉ, rapper Skizzy Mars and EDM group The Knocks.

After Mayfest, students who had purchased tickets for UU’s Block Party event made their way to the Carrier Dome, where Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent headlined the concert with G-Unit. Other performers included Norwegian EDM artist and record producer Kygo and hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd.

GAME Professor aims to educate through augmented reality

By Anjali Alwis staff writer

A

ugmented reality is a technology that takes virtual information and overlays it onto the real world in different shapes and forms.

Elizabeth Folta, an assistant professor at SUNY-ESF, is interested in taking augmented reality a step further.

The two most common examples of augmented reality are stargazer apps, which allow users to find constellations when pointing their smartphones at the sky, and locator apps, which can analyze the surroundings and find locations such as restaurants, libraries and gas stations.

what is augmented reality?

Augmented reality is a technology that takes virtual information and applies it to the real world in different shapes and forms.

Folta is the program coordinator for the environmental education and interpretation program and was first introduced to augmented reality when she was working on her Ph.D. Her major professor focused on using traditional video games for educational purposes.

As Folta worked on this project, she began to discover more about mobile gaming — specifically augmented reality gaming — and did part of her dissertation on AR gaming.

“We’re playing a video game in the real world environment,” Folta said. “Instead of moving a player on a screen to get from point A to point B, you are physically moving in order to trigger something to happen in the game.”

Folta’s focus is on using this technology for educational purposes. She is interested in teaching people more about the environment they are in through actual interaction with the environment.

Folta and State University of New York College of Envi-

illustration by tony chao art director

ronmental Science and Forestry graduate student Jackie McCabe, are currently working on the game, “Interstellar Intruders,” which focuses on Clark Reservation and Green Lakes state parks.

In the game, players will learn about invasive species by being presented with a plant which they have to identify, determine if it is an invasive species or not and discover what could potentially be done about it in the park.

“It’s taking something familiar and entertaining and trying to encourage them to get outdoors and explore it that way,” Folta said. “Using it as a hook is what got me interested and wanting to share this experience with others.”

The game can currently be played on smartphones or tablets. Folta said the future platform for this technology will be wearable technology similar to Google Glass in that it will allow users to access more information as they walk around.

The game is being built around very specific locations, which is similar to the way that majority of augmented reality games are designed. However, there are games that are proximity-

-based and designed for open areas as opposed to what a player would find at a specific location, Folta said.

Folta and McCabe are programming the games themselves through different online platforms created by universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Wisconsin-Madison, which are free to create and free for the user to play.

“One of the big ways that AR games is coming about is in the entertainment industry,” Folta said. “Google Glass and other companies using the glass-technology are already designing games that you can play with them.”

While the technology is being utilized for gaming, Folta said she hopes to increase the use of the technology as an educational tool in park settings, museums and zoos, which are often understaffed and cannot provide the programs that they would like to for the public.

“We’re hoping we can supplement and have educational games like this to help park visitors understand the resources in their parks a little bit better,” Folta said. acalwis@syr.edu

2015-16 Remembrance Scholars reflect upon selection

By Rachel Sandler staff writer

When Fanta Dicko received the email saying he was chosen as a Remembrance Scholar, he said he smiled and began to shake.

“I didn’t even read the full email until 30 minutes after,” said Fanta, a junior in the School of Information Studies, in an email. “I just read the first line that said congratulations and began to call all my friends and family.”

Syracuse University announced the 35 students who will serve as the 2015–16 Remembrance Scholars on Friday. The scholars, chosen by the Remembrance Scholar Committee, will pay tribute to the 35 SU students killed in the Dec. 21, 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland.

from page 3

gresely Chancellor Kent Syverud’s desire to engage with students and Gresely’s enthusiastic and collaborative nature.

One of Gresely’s main priorities has been bringing students, faculty and administrators together to resolve issues in a constructive way, Kantrowitz said.

One way in which Gresely and SA did that was to help organize and host The Cuse Conference, which was held April 19. The event allowed students to be “stakeholders” in the university by generating constructive conversation with the administration on university issues, Kantrowitz said.

The students chosen, all juniors, will receive a $5,000 scholarship for their senior years at SU. The scholarships are funded through an endowment supported by donations from alumni, friends, parents and corporations, according to an SU News release.

Mehak Ali, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, said in an email that working with S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications professor Lawrence Mason, who taught eight of the students who died on Pan Am Flight 103, convinced him to apply for the scholarship.

“I learned about Remembrance Week through someone who had witnessed the devastation it had caused,” Ali said. “Dr. Mason’s stories connected me to the small town of Lockerbie, Scotland and to the tragic event on a personal level.”

Judith O’Rourke, director of student engagement and center for fellowship and scholarship advising coordinator, said choosing only 35 scholars was a difficult task.

“The 35 outstanding scholars who have been named as 2015–16 Remembrance Scholars are among Syracuse’s ‘best and brightest,’” O’Rourke said in an email. “I am confident they will continue to use their leadership skills and talents to enhance the culture of remembrance on our campus and will advance the Remembrance Scholar mission to ‘Look Back, Act Forward.’”

The scholars are responsible for helping to plan Remembrance Week, an annual event that takes place in the fall semester and honors the victims of the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing.

Both Ali and Dicko said in addition to the

scholarship, being a Remembrance Scholar is first and foremost about representing the 35 students who died in the terrorist attack.

“Being a Remembrance Scholar means acting in their memory,” Ali said. “It not only means living in accordance with the 35 students’ aspirations to achieve greatness, but also actively aspiring to achieve greatness and make a difference in society.”

The scholars will be recognized during a convocation in Hendricks Chapel on Oct. 30.

In addition to the Remembrance Scholars, the 2015–16 Lockerbie Scholars were selected. Each year, two students from Lockerbie come to SU for a year of study through the Syracuse-Lockerbie Scholarships. This year’s Lockerbie Scholars are Joanna Barrie and Ellen Boomer.

Gresely was serving his first semester as SA president when Syverud took office, and the pair has worked closely together on Fast Forward Syracuse, Syverud’s three-part campus plan for SU. Gresely represented the interests of the student body as a member of the Steering Committee for the Academic Strategic Plan and the undergraduate experience workgroup. “Boris knows when to step in and lead and when to delegate,” Kantrowitz said. “So I think he was able to get a lot of students involved in these workgroups. He was very enthusiastic about that.”

Aysha Seedat, the current director of SA’s Student Life committee and president-elect of the organization, said she wishes Gresely emphasized

to students how frequently and closely he worked with administrators and other student organizations, like the Resident Hall Association and the Graduate Student Organization.

“I want people to know how different that is,” she said. “That never really happened before.”

Gresely is also the first SA president to serve three semesters. In Fall 2013, the student body approved a new constitution, which aligned the presidential term with the academic calendar rather than the calendar year. As a result, Gresely began serving as president in the spring 2014 semester.

Gresely and Lopez’s campaign was also unprecedented in that it was the first time in SA history that the president and vice president ran together as one ticket, Lopez said in an email. She added that this change expanded

the role of the vice president.

Lopez said through her work with Gresely she has known him as a motivated and optimistic person, but that she thought he “struggled to foster communication amongst the members of his team.”

Gresely, who is graduating in May, said he has committed so much to his role as president that he has not put too much thought into what is next for him after graduation. He is sure that no matter where his career takes him that he will be someone who thinks critically and works to promote change.

“It’s bittersweet because I wish I could stay here for a longer time and keep my team and keep on changing because you really like it,” Gresely said. “It’s part of growth as well. It’s understanding when it’s your time to go.”

from page 3

General Body’s platform because it didn’t represent the opinions of the entire campus.

Gresely and Neary were in constant contact throughout THE General Body’s 18-day sit-in and have worked closely since coming into office — more closely than most SA and GSO presidents in the past, Gresely said.

Though SA represents a constituency more than twice the size of the graduate student population, graduate students are in some ways more diverse than the undergraduate population, Gresely said. They are mostly international students and aren’t following the typical undergraduate track of four years at the university, he said.

“The level of engagement is rough because since you have people who are only here for a certain period of time, it’s hard to engage them in what’s going on, compared to undergraduates where you know they’re here for four years and it’s a reoccurring thing,” Gresely said.

Neary also became GSO president when SU had an interim chancellor. He said the transition into new leadership made it difficult to get his initiatives resolved. Many of his plans were put on hold for a year, he added.

But once Syverud became chancellor, Neary said he wanted to start “hauling ass” in trying to make changes and become a better university — much like Neary’s original goals for GSO when he became president in 2013. Soon after Syverud took office, Neary said the GSO’s efforts to be heard paid off.

“A lot of it really was, you know, if I can just bring this to somebody’s attention, I’m thinking we can get it fixed,” Neary said.

neary said. “I do get a perspective that a lot of other people, even a lot of faculty members, don’t get.”

During meetings, he and Student Association President Boris Gresely are often the only people under 30 years old — and yet they provide some of the most invaluable feedback for administrators.

This was especially true in the fall, when Neary and Gresely had to deal with THE General Body, a coalition of student organizations, and how to approach their list of grievances and demands.

Neary said the situation presented an interesting challenge because the GSO and SA are charged with advocating for their respective student body’s needs, but they couldn’t completely endorse THE

PARTY ON 50 Cent headlines University Union’s sold-out Block Party

Photos by Svitlana Lymar | staff photographer

This year’s Block Party headliner 50 Cent threw it back to the 2000s with his crew G-Unit, and played to a sold-out audience in the Carrier Dome on Friday. The night also featured performances by up-and-coming artists Kygo and Rae Sremmurd. Here are some photos highlighting the annual University Union event.

See dailyorange.com for full Block Party coverage.

50 CENT performed many of his classic throwbacks such as “In Da Club” and “Candy Shop.” The 39-year-old rapper was joined by members of G-Unit who worked to pump up the crowd. Many students danced, but did not know seem to know all of his songs. He came back on stage for an encore, but many students were already making their way to the door.

(ABOVE) The audience rejoiced when Kygo, an up-and-coming DJ and producer, launched confetti into the crowd during his hourlong performance. The Norwegian performer played his set, giving the crowd an opportunity to dance during the night with remixes of “Sexual Healing” by Marvin Gaye and “Younger” by Seinabo Sey.

(ABOVE) KHALIF “SWAE LEE” BROWN, one half of the musical group Rae Sremmurd, performs at University Union’s Block Party. The group pumped up the audience with its hit songs such as, “No Flex Zone” and “No Type.” The duo constantly interacted with the excited audience.

(RIGHT) KYGO performs his hit remix of Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire.”

The DJ didn’t address the crowd often during his set, but connected with them through his dazzling light display and mellow beats. He mouthed the words with a smile.

SU students produce raunchy puppet musical ‘Avenue Q’

By Rachel Gilbert staff writer

The best way to describe “Avenue Q” is “Sesame Street” grown up and gone wrong.

A rowdy musical that touched on everything from sex to life’s purpose, the puppets that starred in the Syracuse University Department of Drama’s “Avenue Q” were both raunchy and comically naive. The music and lyrics, written by Robert Lopez, were slightly more risqué than his work in the Disney’s movie, “Frozen.”

The Arthur Storch Theater inside the Syracuse Stage/SU Drama Complex was packed with an audience that laughed boisterously at the dark comedy presented on stage. Saturday was the musical’s opening night, and it will run through May 9.

“Avenue Q” is the story of a group of puppets, monsters and humans living in a fictitious “outer-outer borough” of New York City. They are all struggling to find their place in the world, ignore the devils on their shoulders and pay their rent.

The musical was performed on a two-tiered set representing a regular New York City street corner. The houses had windows that were frequently flung open by flesh and furry actors alike to perform short skits — most notably, when all of the male cast members and the girl who played former child star, Gary Coleman, all threw the windows open to sing about how “The Internet Is For Porn.”

Either one or two students controlled each puppet, depending on which character it was.

Members of the cast said they worked hard to develop their characters through big movements

and facial expressions. For some, learning to maneuver the puppets was a challenge.

“When I started to work with the puppets, I cried. It was so hard,” said Michael Roach, the sophomore musical theater major who played the role of Princeton, one of the main characters.

When on stage with both puppets and humans, the puppet has to be larger than life or else no one is going to watch the puppet, he added.

Audience members hummed along to tunes including, “What Do You Do With A B.A. in English,” “Everyone’s A Little Bit Racist” and “Schadenfreude,” the German word for delight in another’s misfortune.

Brian Cimmet, the musical’s director, punctuated many of the scenes with short animated video clips narrated by groups of children. The innocent voices added humor to the videos with double meanings — for example, in a video of children counting night stand furniture, they sang “three night stands, two night stands, one night stands.”

The most standout scene of the show had to be the sex scene between two of the puppets. Set to the song, “You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You’re Making Love),” a number of the characters proceeded to get down to business on stage.

“The sex scene, of course, was pretty much unexpected. We really laughed our heads off at that one,” said Dylan Weinberger, a junior finance and information management and technology dual major who was in the audience. He also said the show was relatable because many people are trying to find their footing in life and it captured

that theme well.

Chirag Manohar, a sophomore musical theater major who played the role of Brian, said he began rehearsing with one cast of actors, and the puppets added an entirely new cast of personalities, being a source of humor both on and off the stage.

To get into a goofy mood before the show, Manohar said the cast pokes fun at the puppets’

lack of a rear end by chanting, “No butts on three… No butts!”

“It’s the type of show that if not everything goes to plan it’s still funny because that makes it funnier in a way,” Manohar said. “But as far as openings go, you know, it was the smoothest opening I’ve ever been a part of.” rcgilber@syr.edu

Food Truck Rodeo adds 4 dining options to weekly event, satisfies with variety of food

By Rose Aschebrock staff writer

Y

ou don’t need to make a reservation at a sit-down restaurant to get great food in Syracuse — to get a taste of everything from Puerto Rican cuisine to avant-garde woodfire pizzas, look no further than Syracuse’s weekly Food Truck Rodeos.

I arrived at the empty parking lot next to the Cosmopolitan Building at 2 p.m. The Rodeo, organized by the recently formed Syracuse Food Truck Association, is held every Wednesday. The event officially started at 11 a.m. and was supposed to go until 6 p.m. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of thinking that 2 p.m. would be considered arriving early.

Six food trucks and a table stand were set up in a circle toward the end of the lot when I arrived.

Several customers strolled briskly between them and then quickly retreated to the interior of their warm cars to devour their food out of the wind.

This year Syracuse gained four new food trucks: Mami’s Kitchen selling Puerto Rican-style cuisine, Toss ‘n’ Fire which makes wood fire pizzas to-order, Tortilla Jacks, which sells California/ Baja Mexico-style tacos and Heid’s Mobile Food Trailer, a mobile version of the Heid’s Diner in Liverpool that’s famous for its hotdogs.

As soon as I found out about these new trucks, I followed them on Facebook. According to Tortilla Jacks’ Facebook page, they wouldn’t be ready for the Rodeo because their health department and fire inspection weren’t until later that week. Heid’s Mobile Food Trailer said it would be attending the Rodeo, but when we got there it was nowhere to be seen.

Toss ‘n’ Fire’s truck was literally on fire for their first-time appearance at the Rodeo. They had a green tent set up next to an orange trailer with a brick pizza oven dome placed in the center where an open fire oven was blazing.

Owner Nick Sanford said the day’s turnout was much busier than he had expected. He estimated he had made at least 80 pizzas, and said they had to modify some of the pizzas because they ran out of ingredients.

I ordered the ‘Cuse Salt Potato pizza and the Cheeky Monkey pizza — both $10 and modified

Syracuse’s weekly Food Truck Rodeo has introduced four new food trucks. The Tomato Pie pizza had a creamy white sauce with a salty cheese. It was a simple pizza that highlighted the dough’s flavor and texture. jackie barr staff photographer

due to the availability of ingredients. The 10-inch pizza was thin and the base was soft and chewy with a smoky taste from the wood fire. The toppings were thick and gooey in the center but left the edges exposed, so you could enjoy the taste of the pizza base.

The ‘Cuse Salt Potato pizza was dolloped in fluffy, creamy mashed potatoes and covered in shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese with crispy bacon crumbled on top. This was my favorite purchase of the day.

The Cheeky Monkey pizza was coated in a layer of the local company’s spicy hot tomato oil, shredded mozzarella and homemade meatballs. It was a mouthful of chewy, slightly

greasy meatballs, stringy cheese and the perfect little kick from the tomato oil. Both pizzas were so good that I went back to get the Tomato Pie pizza with white sauce.

This was a more simple pizza, which allowed me to really appreciate the pizza dough flavor and texture. I found the sweetness of the tomato an odd pairing with the creamy white sauce and salty cheese, but it was still good.

Next, we visited Mami’s Kitchen. A quick look at its whiteboard menu told us that they, too, had underestimated how busy the day was going to be. They had completely sold out of their specialty pernil, or roast pork, so all their sandwiches — their specialty items — were off the menu.

They still had beef and cheese empanadas and tostones, or fried plantains, and chicken tenders and fries. The tostones were pretty dry and tasteless, but the empanadas were another story entirely. Thick and greasy ground beef and a gooey white cheese was hand wrapped inside crispy, bright orange dough. The edges were tightly sealed and the filling oozed out deliciously. It’s definitely a guilty pleasure food, undoubtedly terrible for you, but so, so good.

I’m excited to go to the Rodeo in the warmer weeks to come. It’s a cheap and fun way to try an assortment of new tastes and flavors while supporting the local food community rlacshe@syr.edu

Trans* model highlights change in fashion, beauty industries

T

he world of fashion and beauty just became a little more inclusive. Trans* model Andreja Pejic landed her own campaign with the beauty brand Make Up For Ever and snagged a profile in the May issue of Vogue, making her the first trans* model to be profiled in the iconic magazine.

Pejic, from Melbourne, Australia, was discovered at age 16 while working at McDonald’s. The scout couldn’t tell if she was a boy or a girl — only that she looked like a model. Three years later, Pejic was in Paris, walking in both the men and women’s shows for Jean Paul Gaultier and has recently been cast as an androgynous model by Jeremy Scott, Thom Browne and Marc Jacobs.

Although the inclusivity of the trans* community has improved in the past year, it’s 2015. This should have happened ages ago.

Both the fashion and beauty industries have stuck to a certain ideal of beauty.

Only recently have they broadened their definition of what constitutes someone as beautiful.

The more we’re able to identify different types of women as beautiful, the more open and accepting the industry as a whole becomes.

It’s an important step for these two industries and society as a whole, and it’s exciting to see it happening now.

Pejic, isn’t the first trans* model to snap up a major beauty deal. That prize is given to Lea T, having signed on as the face of Redken in November. Last month, Jazz Jennings, a 14-year-old trans* teen, was named a spokesperson for Clean & Clear.

This trio represents an extremely important shift in the fashion and beauty industries, with trans* individuals now representing makeup, skin care, hair brands and fashion.

Fashion has recently been more accepting of the trans* community. Bruce Weber’s “Brothers, Sisters, Sons & Daughters” campaign for Barneys, in which he photographed 17 different trans* models comes to mind, as does Pejic’s appearance in Jean Paul Gaultier ads and Laverne Cox’s feature in InStyle magazine.

Designers are sending more androgynous

I’LL HAVE WHAT THEY’RE WEARING looks down the runways and have started using both male and female models for womenswear and menswear, which means they aren’t assigning designs to a specific gender.

The beauty industry is a different story.

It’s been stricter than the fashion industry, defaulting to traditional gender and appearance norms. But things are still changing, just at a slower pace.

According to the Vogue article about Pejic, the most frequently cited population of trans* people in America is 700,000, which is most likely a low estimate.

Out of this number, 90 percent said that they have dealt with discrimination at work, and almost 20 percent reported being denied a place to live. Forty-one percent have attempted suicide.

Despite making up a tiny percent of the population, the trans* community has grown tremendously in recent years.

However, they have had very little representation across any form of media.

The only person that comes to mind is Laverne Cox from the hit Netflix show “Orange Is the New Black.”

In the political world, trans* people have had several milestones within the last year.

Wellesley College became the latest all-women’s institution to consider any applicant who “lives and identifies” as a woman. Medicare has also dropped its trans* exclusions, and 62 American universities provide hormones and gender-confirmation surgeries for their students, according to the same Vogue article.

In the future, I look forward to seeing fashion and beauty campaigns feature more trans* models and the many different women that are now being encompassed into the socially recognized standard of beauty. Until then, we’ll have to count the progress we have made so far as a major win.

ensley on Manley Field House’s smaller turf field.

Football In Manley Field House, there was only room for one unit to use the field at once. The Syracuse defense would have to wait while the offense used the field, and vice versa.

But having a full 100 yards to work with in the Ensley Athletic Center has completely transformed SU’s practices.

“Split the field in half, just do your thing and then come together,” wide receiver Ben Lewis said. “It makes practice a lot more efficient. It’s a lot easier to work on your technique when you have actual space to do it.”

In addition to the practice enhancements, there are two sidelines cameras near the 40-yard line and two end zone cameras, head coach Scott Shafer said. They offer a better, higher view of the end zone, resemble an NFL video system and can be operated remotely from Manley Field House.

“Everybody’s been real pleased with the logistical makeup of how it’s worked out,” Shafer said. “It’s a pretty cool system.”

Having the Ensley Athletic Center also allowed the Orange to start spring practice

earlier than usual — its annual spring game was a week earlier than it was in 2014. And in the process of starting to condition and train earlier, SU can keep up with fellow Atlantic Coast Conference schools that begin spring ball at the same time.

For every program, weather is not an issue. Not only does it enhance recruiting and training, it also enhances facilities and the programs as a whole. So we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to be in there.

Phil Wheddon su women’s soccer head coach

And then, of course, there’s the convenience factor of having an indoor field so close to the rest of the program’s facilities.

“It keeps us warm,” quarterback Terrel Hunt said with a smile, “and it’s not a far walk.

It’s amazing because it’s 24/7, so any given night I could just call someone up and say, ‘Hey,

let’s go get a workout in.’

“We have access. That’s the best part.”

Lacrosse Last year, men’s lacrosse head coach John Desko repeatedly pointed to Manley Field House’s shrunken dimensions when discussing his team’s early-season struggles.

Due to basketball season, the SU lacrosse programs are limited in how often they can practice in the Carrier Dome. But Desko’s team was more prepared for this season — especially against teams early in the year that hadn’t practiced on a full field yet.

“I think you could see the advantage we had in clearing and riding and fast-break situations,” Desko said. “The spacing’s been crucial.

Not only are you more prepared to play the games, but I think it’s the confidence you have going into the games.”

In Manley Field House, it wasn’t feasible for the Orange, which has 59 players on its roster, to execute full-field drills, long-stick midfielder Peter Macartney said. But now Syracuse is able to condition better and work on its clearing more.

SU was consistently outside the top 35 in the country in clearing last year. Now it’s No. 2 in the nation and clears at a 91 percent rate, up from last year’s 86.3.

Attack Kevin Rice said the brand-new turf in Ensley was soft and difficult to run on at first, but it made running on the Carrier Dome’s packed-down turf even easier. Having Ensley has also eliminated the inconvenience of the team’s mass migration from Manley Field House to the Carrier Dome after watching film in the locker room, Macartney added.

Loren Ziegler, a senior midfielder on the women’s lacrosse team, said the Orange is now able to practice its full-field fast breaks and riding without being interrupted by a field’s dimensions.

For women’s head coach Gary Gait, though,

the biggest upgrade is being indoors when the Syracuse weather is at its worst, and still having a full field to work with.

Said Gait: “To be able to be in here and be in a good climate to coach and teach, it’s awesome.”

Soccer For Syracuse women’s soccer, the most notable upgrade is the space.

Manley Field House is suitable for smaller, technical training and group work, head coach Phil Wheddon said. But when the Orange played its first scrimmage last year, he added, his team hadn’t been able to practice with 11 players on the field because of Manley Field House’s limitations.

Now, practicing 2-3 mornings a week in the Ensley Athletic Center and not once on a grass field yet, he feels his team is way ahead of its usual schedule of progression because of the new facility.

“It’s one of the top facilities that I’ve been in for sure, and I’ve been in quite a few,” Wheddon said.

In addition to its advantages as a practice facility, the building will provide home and away locker rooms for teams playing in SU Soccer Stadium, Wheddon added. Having them for a halftime meeting room replaces the tents that were previously used for soccer teams. The tents were poorly lit, he said, and therefore the feedback coaches could give to players was limited.

While Wheddon hopes for more seating in SU Soccer Stadium and for more upgrades for Syracuse’s non-revenue sports programs, the Ensley Athletic Center has thus far accomplished what it was meant to.

“For every program, weather is not an issue,” Wheddon said. “Not only does it enhance recruiting and training, it also enhances facilities and the programs as a whole. So we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to be in there.” pmdabbra@syr.edu | @PhilDAbb

defense have beaten No. 1 seed North Carolina (15-3, 6-1) 9-8 in double overtime of the ACC tournament championship on Sunday afternoon. Kayla Treanor scored the game-winner, but it didn’t happen until after the defense forced UNC to miss 22-of-30 shot attempts.

“They don’t get much respect, certainly no accolades,” Syracuse head coach Gary Gait said. “Coming in, they just stepped up and played great team defense. The middies, the defenders, the goalie, everybody stepped up and played together today.”

SYRACUSE'S DEFENSE DIDN'T ALLOW NORTH CAROLINA TO REGISTER A SINGLE SHOT ON GOAL IN EITHER OVERTIME PERIOD IN ITS ACC TITLE GAME WIN ON SUNDAY.

Outside of UNC’s 3-0 run at the end of the second half, SU’s defense excelled from the start.

On North Carolina’s first possession, Sam McGee stood behind the net waiting for her teammates to set up. But she never had a chance to pass to them, as Mallory Vehar checked the ball out of her stick and behind the endline.

After allowing the Tar Heels to tie the game at three with 11:05 left in the first half, the Orange forced four turnovers and Richardson made three saves the rest of the half.

Syracuse’s bench first turned to greet the defense, which played one of its best halves of the season against one of its most formidable opponents.

“We kept turning over the ball on just passing plays,” UNC head coach Jenny Levy said. “So really (Syracuse’s defense) gave us a hard time early to get any momentum.”

On UNC’s first possession of the second half, Richardson intercepted a pass from McGee for the second time of the game. Halle Majorana scored on SU’s next trip down the field, giving the Orange the lead it would hold onto for most of the half.

On April 11, the Tar Heels drubbed SU to the score of 15-8, the Orange’s biggest loss of the year and two weeks later, Syracuse nearly cut the goals it allowed in half, its second-fewest of the season.

“We continue to stop converting on opportunities we created for ourselves,” Levy said. “At some point it’s going to bite you in the ass — in the butt, sorry — and it did.”

In overtime, the defense got a chance to display its improvement. In the first half of the first overtime, Erica Bodt swatted Maggie Bill’s stick near the restraining line and gave Syracuse the ball back. Minutes later, Bill’s shot was blocked.

After Treanor scored on SU’s first possession of the second overtime, defender Brenna Rainone danced in the center of an SU huddle.

While waiting to receive the championship trophy, the Orange’s starting defense —Vehar, Rainone, Kaeli O’Connor and Haley McDonnell — posed for a photo.

During the postgame press conference, Gait reflected on beating the No. 4-, No. 3- and No. 2-ranked teams in four days and a smile crept over Richardson’s face.

“I think we just started to talk just a little bit more,” Vehar said of what changed in the past two weeks. “We play really strong team defense, it takes everyone. And I think we’re just starting to click.” pmschwed@syr.edu | @pschweds

seniors Third-seeded Syracuse (11-2, 2-2 ACC) beat the fourth-seeded, two-time defending national champion Blue Devils (11-5, 1-3) 15-14 at PPL Park on Sunday afternoon. With a roster chock full of veterans, it was 12 combined points from senior attacks Kevin Rice and Randy Staats that pushed the Orange to the monumental win.

The duo helped claw back into the game in the second quarter, sustain a slim lead throughout the second half and ultimately edge Duke in front of 7,348 fans.

“When a guy always gets big points everybody always kind of looks at him, but they don’t look at the big picture,” Danowski said of Rice and the SU offense. “It’s the guys he’s playing with, guys move off the ball well to get open and a really tough team to defend because everybody’s capable.”

Rice has now played and scored in four consecutive conference championship games. He created space where there seemingly was none against Duke, and scored his first goal of the game when he shook off Brian Dunne and tiptoed along the crease to give SU its first lead of the game at 7-6 with 7:59 left in the first half.

Staats showed his experience in acrobatic flashes. After taking a slash to the head, the senior fell to his knees as the crowd came to a hush.

He stood up and had his helmet buckled in by fellow senior Nicky Galasso. Thirty seconds later it was another Staats-Rice production in the making.

Rice fed the ball to Staats, who then finished off the give-and-go with a behind-the-back pass to Rice over his right shoulder between two defenders. Rice’s score gave SU a two-goal buffer with 15 minutes left in the game.

“I like playing toward the end of the year when the intensity is higher and everyone

sort of knows everything about everyone,” Rice said. “It’s the teams that can think a step ahead and sort of figure out what’s coming next that’ll be successful.”

Held silent for much of the first three quarters, it was star midfielder Myles Jones who brought the Blue Devils back.

Three minutes into the fourth quarter, Jones scored from 15 yards out to bring the Blue Devils within one goal at 12-11. He vigorously pumped his arms up and down, violently shouting at his bench over the roar of the crowd to energize his team.

“There was a lot of energy in this game and coming down to the wire,” Jones said. “The big players, the experienced players on our team are going to step up.”

Syracuse held its counterpunch for a few minutes before Staats unleashed his second highlight-reel goal. He laid out full-extension to swat a bouncing ball into the goal as he flung himself to the ground.

And with Staats swinging the momentum back to the Orange, the crowd noise and player reactions grew volatile as the clock wound down.

A three-goal lead with just over three minutes to play was reduced to a one-goal lead in a 24-second span. But the missed shot by Matheis, retrieval

by Ciferri and 50-yard chuck by Wardwell secured the conference championship for Syracuse.

In a 60-minute seesaw affair that saw no lead bigger than three for the last three quarters, it was an experienced and well-versed veteran core that tipped the scale in favor of the Orange.

“You want to win every game you play, especially when there’s a trophy on the line, it adds intensity to the game,” Rice said. “To know that we can go in and win a game on the first day... and win another game at the end of the weekend is good to know moving forward.” cgrossma@syr.edu | @connorgrossman

man-up ranked 11th in the country in man-up conversions at a 47.9 percent mark, and its 75 percent conversion rate against Duke was the highest of the season in games where SU had more than one extra-man advantage.

Syracuse attack Randy Staats credited the manup success to executing the game plan of quickly swinging the ball to the open man.

And with time winding down in the third quarter and SU on an extra-man advantage, Staats did just that. He drew a double team about 15 yards away from the goal, Kevin Rice leaked behind it and Staats fed a nifty behind-the-head pass that lead to Rice slotting the ball above Fowler’s head.

“The back-side guy was open the majority of the time,” Staats said, “… so we were finding that and the team was working well.”

Then on a man-up in the fourth quarter, Dona-

hue fired a shot that Fowler deflected straight up in the air and out past the crease. Duke defender Brian Dunne misplayed it in the air, the ball bounced up and a diving Staats slapped the ball into the net, throwing both hands in the air in celebration as he sat flat on the ground.

Danowski said Dunne should’ve gone for the ball at its highest point instead of waiting until it got to his shoulders, which caused the misread and ensuing scrappy finish.

“I just saw it coming down and tried to get over in the middle of the net,” Staats said. “... I just tried to take swat at it and luckily it went in.”

Last time against Duke, SU’s 4-for-6 effort on the man-up didn’t matter in a 12-goal blowout.But in a one-goal game, an SU offense difficult enough to defend at even strength had an extra dimension that helped it squeeze out an ACC title win.

Said Duke midfielder Myles Jones: “Their manup group is one of the best in the country.” mcschnei@syr.edu | @matt_schneidman

Dombrowski highlights explosive SU offense on Senior Day

By Jack Rose staff writer

Before the final game of Mary Dombrowski’s career, she threw out the first pitch. In the third inning, she pounded virginia 2 a 3-2 pitch into the syracuse 11 trees beyond right center for a grand slam. And in the fourth, she fielded a line drive in right field and fired a strike home, throwing out Virginia’s Allison Davis and keeping UVA scoreless.

“The fact that I could add that on top of my grand slam, that was one of the best days of

my life,” Dombrowski said. “Very fun, amazing memories that I’ll just cherish forever.”

On Syracuse’s Senior Day, Dombrowski did a little bit of everything.

She headlined a powerful offensive performance by SU (20-26, 4-13 Atlantic Coast) in its five-inning, 11-2 victory over Virginia (16-40, 4-20) on Sunday afternoon at SU Softball Stadium. Six Orange batters tallied RBIs in the clinching game of the team’s first ACC series sweep of the season, and Dombrowski led all of them with four RBIs. “What I told the girls after the game is all season, this is the team that we were expecting to see out there,” SU head coach Leigh Ross said.

While pitcher Jocelyn Cater set down the first nine batters she faced, her offense was giving her breathing room. Center fielder Maddi Doane led off the bottom of the first with a double to left before advancing to third on a groundout. Shortstop Corinne Ozanne followed with a sharp grounder through the hole to score Doane.

“Everybody just came with their A game and we fed off each other,” Ozanne said. “When everybody hits, everybody hits and we do damage.”

While the Orange struggled to get production from the bottom half of its lineup most of the year, it got production from every slot Sunday.

Each Orange starter tallied at least one hit.

To lead off the second inning, third baseman Danielle Chitkowski hit a towering fly toward the scoreboard in left field, easily clearing the fence on the first pitch she saw. In the third, three straight singles led off the inning and were followed by a Rachel Burkhardt single to score a run. The bases

were loaded, and Dombrowski stepped to the plate.

She said she knew the ball was gone as soon as it hit her bat and she cried as she rounded third, overwhelmed by the emotion of the day.

“She struggled at the plate all weekend, but she got the one big hit and one that she’s going to remember for the rest of her life,” Ross said.

In the next inning, Dombrowski’s outfield assist kept UVA off the board. And in the bottom half SU kept pouring it on, as ninth-place hitter Alyssa Dewes delivered a home run to left center.

“That’s the player we expect to see,” Ross said of Dewes. “She got her pitch, drove it hard and that’s what happens.”

Later in the inning, first baseman Sydney O’Hara singled up the middle to score two more, giving SU 11 runs and the possibility of a mercy-rule victory, which it secured in the top of the fifth.

After the game, Ross was happy with her team’s performance, but frustrated that it took the team the entire season to get to this point.

“We should be able to handle the pressure and come out and compete no matter what the situation is,” she said. “I do think that they were more relaxed... Today they didn’t worry about making the next mistake because it was the last game no matter what. Now we just need to kind of transfer that mentality to games where there is pressure.” jlrose@syr.edu

treanor Treanor’s goal — the 200th of her career — captured SU’s (14-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) first ACC championship in a 9-8 double-overtime win over top-seeded North Carolina (15-3, 6-1). The victory avenges a 13-7 loss to Maryland in last year’s conference championship, and a 15-8 loss to the Tar Heels in the regular season.

And the Orange’s best played helped carry the team while winning ACC tournament MVP. She was a feeder throughout each game and a scorer in the clutch, which SU’s been looking for all season.

“You give (Treanor) the opportunity, she’s going to get it done eventually. She’s proven that time and time again,” Gait said. “… It was awesome.”

Each team sent a challenge Treanor‘s way in the tournament, and UNC’s was Courtney Waite. Like BC midfielder Tess Chandler for BC and Duke defender Isabelle Montagne, Treanor had to beat Waite by feeding teammates.

SU isolated Treanor and Waite early against UNC, but Treanor managed only four shots. After the Orange scored three goals in the first 13 minutes, it didn’t score the rest of the half. UNC ripped off three goals in four minutes and tied the game. Treanor even uncorked a behind-the-back shot, but Tar Heels goalie Caylee Waters easily saved it. “(Waite)’s marked all the top attackers in the country all year,” UNC head coach Jenny Levy said. “She’s shut most of them down.”

Treanor scored nearly a goal per game more in the regular season than in the tournament, and it was her tournament-record

six assists that led SU through the field.

She hit cutting midfielder Erica Bodt with a pass as she trailed attack Halle Majorana through the middle of field, and Bodt gave SU a 2-0 lead less than seven minutes into the game.

“I think we can use that to our advantage,” Treanor said about drawing double teams and face guards. “… It’s about our team getting good shots and good opportunities that helps our offense.”

In the title game, SU held an 8-5 second-half lead before the Tar Heels ran off three goals in four minutes to knot the score. But it only set up Treanor’s big finish, when she made the play SU struggled to find throughout regular season.

The Orange had lost four of its eight onegoal games in the regular-season. Against Boston College and Duke in the regular season, SU entered the final 10 minutes down a goal. In those final minutes, Treanor did not tally a shot, assist or even a turnover.

But in the second overtime against UNC, Waters said she saw Treanor go to her rocker move, where she takes a step back with her back to the defender to get the defender off balance.

Treanor used the separation to fire a rocket in the top corner and finish the Tar Heels.

Soon after she was the last to be announced to the all-tournament team, Treanor hoisted the ACC championship trophy with three teammates and looked every bit like a player ready to lead SU to its first-ever national championship for a women’s program.

“That’s what makes great players great,” Levy said, lamenting her team’s own trouble finishing shots. “They perform in clutch situations.” cjlibona@syr.edu

Richardson, SU defense get late stops against UNC

By Paul Schwedelson asst. copy editor

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Cheers of “de-fense” boomed through Klockner Stadium as Syra cuse fans syracuse 9 simultanorth carolina 8 neously

pounded on the bleachers.

Following three straight North Carolina goals, the Orange needed a stop.

“We had been playing great all game so I just told them to focus on that,” SU goalie Kelsey Richardson said. “What we focus on expands so I think we really stepped up at the end of the game and we came up with a stop.”

Not one, but two in the last 14 seconds of the second half.

Marie McCool’s stick was checked from behind on a free position with 14 seconds left and the ball flew out of bounds. But the Tar Heels got the ball back with two seconds remaining.

Kelly Devlin caught a pass from behind the net, cut to her left and

CHESTER, Pa. — Derek DeJoe took a crow-hop and unleashed a lefthanded laser that hit the backside of duke 14 the goal, inciting a syracuse 15 raucous applause from a Syracuse contingent that thought the ball had gone in.

Eight seconds later though, and still on an extra-man opportunity, a wide-open DeJoe received a pass from Dylan Donahue from behind the goal and the Duke defense failed to close in. From a tighter angle in the right alley, the man-up specialist five-holed Duke goalie Danny Fowler before raising his right fist and dramatically pumping his left.

unloaded a potential game-winning shot on Kelsey Richardson, who reached her stick to her left and saved the ball from heading into the top corner.

Without Richardson and the rest of her defense, sixth-seeded Syracuse (14-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast) wouldn’t see defense page 15

It was the Orange’s first of three man-up scores — SU had four extra-man advantages in the game — and the third goal in a five-goal second-quarter run that erased SU’s slow start. The third-seeded Orange (11-2, 2-2 Atlantic Coast) utilized swift ball movement and took advantage of second-seeded Duke’s (11-5, 1-3) unorganized man-down defense in a 15-14 ACC tournament title win at PPL Park on Sunday afternoon.

“We got a little disorganized when the ball was loose behind and then we got out of shape,” Duke head coach John Danowski said. “The Syracuse kids, they sling the ball, very confident and good things happen when you’re confident and you sling it.”

Only three other times this season has Syracuse scored three man-up goals in a game, and all three occasions were when the Orange had six or more chances to do so.

Coming into Sunday, SU see man-up page 17
