MAYORAL RACE 2017

Candidate garners more than 50 percent of vote

By Sam Ogozalek asst. news editor

After a tight and highly contested race, Syracuse mayoral candidate Juanita Perez Williams secured the Democratic Party nomination late Tuesday night, soundly defeating Common Councilor Joe Nicoletti and City Auditor Marty Masterpole.

Perez Williams, a former associate dean of students at Syracuse University, campaigned on the promise of revitalizing city neighborhoods, decreasing Syracuse’s high poverty rate and protecting minorities.

“We are not going to give up on this city,” said Perez Williams, speaking to supporters at Cathy’s Corner Cafe at about 11 p.m. She carried about 52 percent of the electorate with just more than 4,200 votes.

Nicoletti, a past frontrunner, only garnered about 2,700 votes. see perez

Nicoletti, Masterpole address primary defeat

By Sandhya Iyer and Delaney Van Wey the daily orange

Joe Nicoletti, an at-large Syracuse Common Council member, and City Auditor Marty Masterpole conceded the Democratic Party nomination late Tuesday night to Juanita Perez Williams in the Syracuse mayoral race.

Here’s a rundown on Nicoletti’s and Masterpole’s watch parities and what they told their supporters after the results came in.

Joe Nicoletti

Joe Nicoletti’s watch party took place in his campaign headquarters Tuesday night. The small room was crowded with supporters, many wearing “Joe Nicoletti for a better Syracuse” T-shirts and “Let’s go Joe Nicoletti” stickers.

The mood in the room changed from one of optimism to disappointment over the course of the night, once it became clear that Juanita Perez Williams had obtained 52 percent of the votes.

Nicoletti himself did not arrive

at the watch party until 10:39 p.m., after the results had been announced. He was greeted with applause from the attendees and made a short speech.

“I want to thank the voters. I want to say I appreciate your support. I appreciate your confidence,” Nicoletti said. “And I want to say that we must not forget that this is our city, and it belongs to all of us.”

He also emphasized the importance of working across party lines and the need to continue addressing issues like the education system,

public safety and the job market.

Nicoletti stayed after his speech to thank every attendee personally.

Christine Fix, Nicoletti’s campaign manager, said the campaign took on Nicoletti’s personality and that there were no regrets.

“Our approach from the beginning was put it all out there, throw it all on the wall, get it all out there so when you turn around, you don’t have any regrets,” Fix said. “And we just don’t.”

Search for SU honors director continues

By Jessica Soporito contributing writer

A committee composed of distinguished professors is searching for a new director of the Renée Crown University Honors Program at Syracuse University.

Though the search process is still in its early stages, the committee estimates they will have a decision by the end of this calendar year.

Civil and environmental engineering professor Chris Johnson has been the interim honors program director since July 2016.

Stephen Kuusisto, the previous director, stepped down after a five-year term.

The director would oversee the honor program’s budget. The director also would teach in the honors program for the school or college in which they have tenure, according to the SU Office of Human Resources.

David Seaman, dean of SU

libraries, said the search committee is seeking candidates with a distinguished record of academic achievement and a strong administrative background. Seaman is also chair of the search committee to find a new director. “(Candidates should have) experience developing programs that ensure high-quality undergraduate engagement … and a talent for communicating excitement about a wide array of artistic and intellectual endeavors,” Seaman said.

The search committee is looking at director candidates both in the United States and internationally.

Candidate information is confidential during the search process.

Johnson, the interim director, could end up permanently taking over the position.

“I don’t think I am ready to answer that question really,” Johnson said. “The search is just starting and I’ve seen the advertisement, and I am giving it some

thought, but I haven’t committed one way or the other.”

Ramesh Raina, chair of the SU biology department and a member of the search committee, said he thinks Johnson will be a candidate.

During his time as interim director, Johnson performed an external review of the program.

The National Collegiate Honors Council sent three representatives to inspect the curriculum, facilities and administration of the Renée Crown University Honors Program.

Johnson said the council gave the program feedback on what it was doing well and what could be improved.

“We’re trying to give the new director a sense of the program’s strengths that can be built upon ... perhaps some of the things that could be improved on,” Johnson said.

Johnson also worked with the individual colleges on campus to make the honors curriculum more flexible with student coursework.

“I think it is one of the best jobs at the university,” Johnson said. “I feel very privileged to have been able to do it for a year and presumably another semester or two.”

Members of the honors program take honors courses — small, discussion-based classes — and must complete a capstone project before they leave the university. Raina said the program also offers faculty mentorship and tailored educational opportunities for students.

The Center for Fellowship and Scholarship Advising program is part of the honors college. CFSA offers help on scholarship and fellowship opportunities across the country.

“The Honors Program is unique because it is one of the premier undergraduate opportunities at Syracuse. (It) challenges intellectually curious students from every undergraduate major at Syracuse University,” Raina said. jmsopori@syr.edu

Attorney general files lawsuit defending DACA

The lawsuit alleges that rescinding DACA will cost New

York between $55 million and $84 million annually in lost state and local tax revenues from the state’s approximately 42,000 DACA recipients.

The program — enacted by former President Barack Obama — allowed eligible undocumented immigrants, brought into the United States as children, to apply for work permits and relief from deportation.

“Immigration is the lifeblood

of New York state. The Trump administration’s decision to end DACA is cruel, inhumane, and devastating to the 42,000 New Yorkers who have been able to come out of the shadows and live a full life as a result of the program,” Schneiderman said in a press release announcing the lawsuit. “(DACA recipients) deserve to stay here and keep contributing to our state and our nation,” he said. see daca page 6

Student awarded arts grant

By Sloane Gallagher contributing writer

A Syracuse University graduate student in the College of Visual and Performing Arts was recently awarded a $15,000 grant from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation, an arts organization, for his paintings.

Tong Zhang, a studio arts graduate student, said his work is filled with passion and a sense of wonderment.

He said he gains the inspiration for his artwork through his son, Damon, and through his personal childhood memories.

His 4-year-old son’s sense of curiosity, when observing his surroundings, has an impact on the artwork, Zhang said.

“At some level that ability is always important for my artwork, so I can recall that memory during my childhood,” Zhang said.

As an immigrant from China, Zhang said his feelings as an outsider are also important to his art.

When he moved to the United States, his art changed, he said. He started to emphasize the darkness in his paintings.

Zhang also said he began to question and talk about his art.

“I am very interested in the darkness, and I think that is because here I am an outsider.

This darkness is universal, (when you are painting) you don’t know exactly what you are looking at,

Poverty should remain candidate’s focus

J

uanita Perez Williams successfully won the bid for the Democratic candidate in the Syracuse mayoral race Tuesday — a hopeful sign for Syracuse in the face of an unpredictable federal government.

On the ballot, Perez will join Republican nominee Laura Lavine, a former superintendent for Lafayette Central School District as well as Howie Hawkins from the Green Party and independent candidate Ben Walsh.

Incredibly qualified for the position she seeks, Perez Williams has led the city of Syracuse’s legal office under current Mayor Stephanie Miner — a role that followed her tenure as assistant attorney general of New York. She held the rank of lieutenant commander in the United States Navy, and from 2001 to 2008, she was the associate dean of students at Syracuse University.

If she claims the mayor’s seat, Perez Williams will be confronted with some of Syracuse’s most pressing problems, with poverty at the top of the list. A 2015 report found that out of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S., Syracuse had the highest level of concentrated poverty among its black and Hispanic communities.

During her campaign, Perez

KYLE SMITH OBJECTIVE REASON PRECEDES OPINION

Williams deemed decreasing poverty her first priority for her first term. She would focus her poverty-fighting efforts on the city’s children, according to her website.

Perez Williams proposed using teams of civil servants, including code enforcers and schools, to provide Syracuse children — half of whom are considered poor — with a healthier and safer environment.

This is a sound strategy, as investing in future generations is critical in disrupting cycles of poverty.

Joe Nicoletti, Perez Williams’ primary competitor for the Democratic seat, said he’d tackle poverty through technical education and training specifically for jobs in the Syracuse area. This plan would undoubtedly help to stabilize households in the future and would be a worthwhile investment to consider in breaking the poverty barrier.

Poverty may be the most pressing issue in the city, but it’s also crucial that Syracuse’s next mayor take a strong stance in times of such uncertainty in national politics.

That mayor must be willing to stand ground against a volatile federal government and protect Syracuse’s status as a “sanctuary city.”

That mayor must be willing to risk retaliation if the city’s residents are threatened with deportation.

After the infamous so-called “Muslim ban” took effect in January, Mayor Stephanie Miner stood in front of hundreds of angered and frightened citizens at Syracuse Hancock International Airport and delivered a strong and reassuring speech that left the crowd cheering with hope.

Perez Williams already shows promise on this issue, as she said she would work to make immigrants feel safe during Donald Trump’s presidency in an interview with The Daily Orange.

Bringing hope to communities in Syracuse, whether they’re affected by blight or unsettled by national instability, will be no easy task. A leader of Perez Williams’ caliber is what the city needs now more than ever.

Goodbye home button and other updates from Apple’s iPhone event

A

pple’s latest line of products — in particular, the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X — were announced this afternoon in the company’s new Cupertino, California, headquarters. Here are a few takeaways from the event.

The iPhone X made its longawaited debut Those expecting something legitimately new in Apple’s press event probably weren’t too disappointed

by Apple CEO Tim Cook’s “one more thing.” The iPhone X — pronounced “iPhone Ten” — is the logical next evolution in the iPhone legend.

It’s a big step from the barebones, App Store-free original iPhone. The purpose of the iPhone in the first place was to shift mobile life away from dependence on buttons.

With the iPhone X, Apple is replacing the home button with an edge-to-edge screen that will likely set a new standard for smartphone screens.

At a $999 starting price, the iPhone X doesn’t come cheap. A lot of buyers will probably wait for prices to drop down the road before News Editor Editorial Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Presentation Director Photo Editor Head Illustrator Copy Chief Digital Editor Video Editor Web Developer Asst.

they buy into this new design.

But this is the first step in making smartphones that look like the iPhone X the new normal. Bezels are so 2007, after all.

As usual, the rumors didn’t lie This was the first major iPhone announcement since Apple tried to lock down on internal leaks on new products. But a lot still got out.

Rumors for this particular round of iPhone announcements started back in early 2015. A lot of those predictions, like the lack of a home button and an edge-to-edge display, have proven true.

And as well as Apple protected information on iPhone design and features, we knew most of the new details before today, especially thanks to leaks from just a few days ago.

Keep at it, leakers. You’re not fake news after all.

for the rest of us

If you’ve followed iPhone announcements over the years, you know that the last several iPhones have featured little more than a faster processor and better camera than their predecessors. The iPhone X’s less exciting cousin, the iPhone 8, follows in that tradition.

The biggest thing for prospective buyers to consider is the price point.

At a $699 entry point, the iPhone 8 release is what we’re used to by now.

It’s not terribly exciting or different in any significant way from the iPhone 7, but it’s $300 less than the iPhone X. For the average phone buyer who decides the sparklier device isn’t worth a few extra Benjamins, the iPhone 8 is here as a backup.

Professors weigh in on North Korea nuclear weapons tests

By Olivia Cole

contributing writer

Earlier this month, North Korea conducted a test of a hydrogen bomb, the most powerful North Korean nuclear weapon yet recorded.

The hydrogen bomb test caused a tremor ranking at 6.3 on the Richter scale, per CNBC. The United Nations Security Council imposed new sanctions on North Korea, targeting its primary exports. These sanctions would reduce the country’s economic capability to fuel its growing nuclear industry, according to CNN. The Daily Orange spoke with Corri Zoli, director of research and research assistant professor at Syracuse University’s Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism, and Frederick Carriere, research professor at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, to discuss the heightened global tension surrounding North Korea.

The D.O.: Why is North Korea’s testing of a hydrogen bomb more significant than their past five nuclear tests?

Corri Zoli: Their technology system has radically improved. They’ve been able to do this miniaturization thing which suggests either they’ve trained up a new generation of sophisticated experts, or they are relying on another hostile nation’s expertise — many have speculated Iran — or it could from page 1

perez williams Dozens of supporters wearing “Juanita for Mayor” shirts packed the restaurant off Avery Avenue before polls closed at 9 p.m. Some people chanted “yes we can” in Spanish: “sí se puede.”

As Perez Williams took to a podium to announce victory, crowd members roared in support. Throughout a brief speech, people murmured “that’s right” and “Amen.”

Perez Williams previously served as a city of Syracuse attorney. She was appointed to that position in 2010 by Stephanie Miner, the current mayor. Perez Williams also served as a regional labor representative for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

During the primary, she received endorsements from the New York State Public Employees Federation and Latino Victory Fund, a hybrid political action committee based in Washington, D.C., that can operate both as a traditional PAC and super PAC. The 53-year-old California native raked in more than $100,000 in campaign contributions this year, board of elections records show.

Fourteen other states — including Illinois, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Washington — are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, as well as the District of Columbia.

The states argue the Trump administration’s decision to end DACA infringes on recipients’ Fifth Amendment rights to equal protection and due process. The decision was also “arbitrary and capricious,” in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act, the lawsuit alleged.

The equal protection argument is based on the fact 78 percent of DACA recipients are of Mexican heritage. The lawsuit argues that Trump was motivated by racial bias. It cites comments Trump made as a candidate in the 2016 presidential election about Mexico sending “rapists” and criminals to the U.S. “(The plaintiffs) may be on to some-

be some shared expertise for these three or four different regions.

These states in these regions may have a bone to pick with the United States or NATO and other security collaborations, or they’re doing this on the sly to buck the system a little bit, to try to establish a little more hegemony in their region.

Frederick Carriere: The magnitude of destruction a hydrogen bomb is capable of underscores the general concern about their testing and potential using of these weapons.

They tested a kind of bomb that was used in Hiroshima many, many years ago, and for all intents and purposes that bomb would be just as devastating. It makes a much more forceful statement with a hydrogen bomb.

The D.O.: United States Defense Secretary James Mattis responded to reporters with stating that any threat to the United States, its allies or its territories “will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming.” What do you think qualifies as a threat?

C.Z.: This, I mean (Mattis), is obviously referring to this kind of technological advance and then the statements that North Korea’s government is making to threaten both its regional neighbors — Japan, in particular — so it’s essentially making statements.

And now it has the tools and technological advancements to back up these threats.

So he is referring to that, and stating that we enforce city codes and property owners would be cited for “blighted,” vacant housing.

Before the results were announced, Carrier Dome employee Robert Godly compared Perez Williams’ campaign to former President Barack Obama’s successful 2008 presidential bid.

“This is big. This is history,” said Godly, who has worked at the Dome for 37 years.

Perez Williams, if elected in November, would be the first woman of color to serve as Syracuse’s mayor.

Perez Williams agreed with Nicoletti and Masterpole on most hot-button city issues. During the primary, all three candidates said they opposed a potential merger between the city of Syracuse and Onondaga County governments.

The candidates also said they supported a “community grid” alternative for replacing a controversial portion of Interstate 81, called the viaduct, that bisects downtown Syracuse. That stretch of highway, caked with rust and crumbling in some spots, is expected to undergo major reconstruction or deconstruction as part of a state project.

Clashes did erupt, though, between the Democratic candidates. At a televised debate Sunday, Perez Williams said Nicoletti had a history of dividing the party and attacked

now have justification if we need to act.

F.C.: The latter part of that statement is alluding to a possibility that we would actually use some kind of nuclear device against North Korea.

But the first part — “threat” — he is being very, very vague. Normally, (the Secretary of Defense) would say if we are attacked, then of course we will result in a military response.

The D.O.: What effect will the United Nations Security Council’s sanctions have against North Korea? Will it cause any global economic issues?

C.Z.: I don’t know about global economic issues, but I think that this is the most important piece of the story. The five permanent members of the Security Council went into the same room and negotiated to create a unilateral consensus on creating a pretty serious sanctions regime against North Korea for their threatening behavior.

I mean, we’re not doing very well at this historical moment with Russia, and China we’ve had a lot of pure competition with over the years, so the fact that everyone could sit in the same room and agree is extremely significant.

F.C.: I think the problem of whether or not UN sanctions will achieve their purpose is a question that has not changed. Even in the UN resolution themselves, there is always a paragraph that states: This sanction

should not, in any way, negatively impact the humanitarian needs of the people.

It’s only the real idealists that are absolutely convinced that the sanction regime will force North Korea to cave in order to survive … Sanctions are in place in order to send the message that North Korea is an unacceptable member of the international community due to their continuous testing of nuclear weaponry.

The D.O.: Do you think war against North Korea is inevitable or avoidable?

C.Z.: I think war is getting ahead of ourselves. This is a confusion people often have on international security issues. A lot of times leaders, especially like the Secretary of Defense, make statements because they’re trying to deter a bad actor from doing something. … In some ways you’re seeing much stronger language coming out of the national security community now because they’re trying to reset expectations globally.

We are not going to tolerate some of the things we were tolerating before. Furthermore, we are going to give you all the information you need to know to not miscalculate. They’re using this really strong language; that doesn’t mean we are going to war. It’s a language that’s instrumental to communicate to people, very clearly, that we are strong. olcole@syr.edu

Perez Williams goes on to face Ben Walsh, an independent; Howie Hawkins, the Green Party

candidate; and Laura Lavine, the sole Republican candidate in the Nov. 7 general election.

“We have a lot more work to do,” Perez Williams said.

— Assistant news editor Kennedy Rose contributed reporting to this article.

Although the crowd gained some numbers throughout the evening, about 15 people were there when Masterpole finally arrived to the bar after watching the results with his family.

Masterpole ended in third place with about 10 percent of the vote. Although he said he was disappointed, he looks forward to working with the Democratic nominee.

“I don’t know where my supporters are going to go,” Masterpole said. “I can suggest what I

think is best for the city, but whomever ends up being successful, I think it’s their responsibility to convince my supporters they’re the right person for the job.”

When Masterpole learned that Perez Williams had officially been victorious, he congratulated her. He said he was proud to have run a positive campaign because he knows he could have gotten more votes from attacking.

Masterpole did, however, refute Nicoletti’s sup-

porters claim that he took votes away from Nicoletti because he received 10 percent of the vote. Nicoletti was about 20 percent behind Perez Williams.

Although Masterpole will finish his final two years as city auditor now, he said he wouldn’t rule out running again in four or eight years.

“There could be a run in the future but there might not,” Masterpole said. “You never know.”

thing,” Cyril Ghosh, assistant professor in the government and politics department at Wagner College, said in an email. “The court usually does not like it if a law does not have neutral applicability, or if it is motivated by animus toward one group. So this makes a great deal of sense.”

Some experts who analyzed the lawsuit drew parallels to the arguments used in other lawsuits filed against Trump’s controversial “travel ban.” Those arguments relied in part on Trump’s comments about banning Muslims from the country to argue the ban violated travelers’ equal protection rights under the Constitution.

“It appears that they are sort of repackaging that argument as well with regard to (Trump’s) decision to end DACA by saying that he is really animated by racial animus against the group that would be mostly affected, which would be Latinos and Mexicans, in particular,” said Rick Su, a professor in the University

of Buffalo’s School of Law. Su specializes in immigration and local government law.

Su and some other experts said they believe arguments in the DACA lawsuit are not as strong as those used in the travel ban lawsuits.

“The connection between discriminatory statements made by the Trump administration and the DACA program’s rescission is not as close as in the travel ban case now pending before the Supreme Court,” said Stephen Yale-Loehr, professor of immigration law practice at Cornell Law School, in an email.

On the other hand, Yale-Loehr said, the plaintiffs’ argument that the Trump administration violated the Administrative Procedure Act has some precedent in legal challenges to past presidents’ actions.

A court struck down an Obama-era effort similar to DACA, but for undocumented parents of children who are U.S. citizens, Yale-Loehr said, because it failed

to comply with APA requirements.

Should a court decide New York has a “plausible claim” in the lawsuit, it could issue an injunction that would put the Trump Administration’s decision on hold for several months, Su said.

It also is possible other states will decide to sue to end DACA, as Texas and others previously did before Trump announced the decision to rescind the program. This, Su said, could lead to a set of parallel and contradictory court decisions.

“It’s very possible that you have an opinion at the lower court level that says Trump cannot withdraw DACA and another decision at the trial court level that says Trump cannot enforce DACA because it’s unconstitutional,” Su said.

Ultimately, Yale-Loehr added, this lawsuit faces a “tough battle” in courts.

“It will be interesting to see how a court rules,” he said.

but on some level you sense the light coming through the darkness,” Zhang said.

The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation gives grants to a select number of aspiring artists each year. Claudette Bellemare, the foundation’s president, said she is proud of the level of prestige that is associated with the foundation.

“We are not only looking for talent, but we are also looking for the desire to become a full-time artist,” Bellemare said.

The foundation has only awarded about 1,700 grants since 1955, she said.

Zhang learned about the foundation after he took a graduate seminar taught by studio art professors Samuel Van Aken and Kevin Larmon.

Van Aken said he was happy that Tong was able to take what he learned from the class and use it in the real world.

“A lot of (the class) is about the things

that they don’t normally teach you about being an artist. The idea behind it is to prepare artists for the art word; strategic planning, residency, and preparing for galleries,” Van Aken said. “(Part of the class involves) doing a mock grant application that is very precise, and each student selects their own grant to apply for.”

Deciding to apply for the foundation’s grant was not easy, Zhang said.

If an applicant doesn’t receive a grant, he or she is not allowed to apply again for two years. It also is difficult to receive the first grant because many applications require past experience, he added.

“I think you have to be crazy about your work, because that craziness will turn into an energy that will help show them your passion,” Zhang said.

Zhang said he plans to continue to highlight his curiosities about human behavior through his artwork and he hopes to someday become a full-time artist. skgallag@syr.edu

Students find sense of belonging in Latinx greek organizations

By Stacy Fernández feature editor

Editor’s note: In recognition of Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month, this three-part series spotlights local figures working to increase the representation of the Latinx community in Syracuse and beyond.

N

ine Latinx greek organizations are active on Syracuse University’s campus, but many students — including those involved in greek and Panhellenic life — don’t even know they exist.

Organized under the National Association of Latino Fraternal Organizations, the greek groups are Latinx based, but not Latinx exclusive, said Alicia Torres, president of Sigma Iota Alpha sorority.

At their core the mission of each fraternity and sorority is the same: advocating for Latinx culture, issues and unity, Torres said.

Alberto Lainez

Latinx fraternity, Lambda Upsilon Lambda, has donated personal funds for a landmark honoring the nine NALFO organizations’ presence and contributions to the Syracuse community. The monument will be unveiled Saturday at 2 p.m. at the Quad.

“Even though we’re smaller, we’re here, and we make our presence known through our community service, by showing up to each other’s functions and being a support system,” Wsaid Jose Waimin, former president of Phi Iota Alpha fraternity.

“We’re a family,” Torres said.

Five of NALFO’s organizations, including Lambda Pi Chi sorority, Lambda Upsilon Lambda fraternity, Lambda Sigma Upsilon fraternity, Omega Phi Beta sorority and Sigma Lambda Upsilon sorority were unavailable for comment.

The organizations will be featured in an upcoming story as more information is reported for the Latinx Series. sfern100@syr.edu | @StacyFernandezB

enny Rodríguez and José Waimin are roommates and best friends who crossed into Phi Iota Alpha together. This semester, Waimin passed the role of chapter president onto Rodríguez.

Three years ago, during their freshman years, neither wanted to join a fraternity.

Syracuse was Waimin’s first home in the United States, greek life wasn’t on his radar.

He saw Latinx greeks hosting professional events, volunteering off campus and attending social events. Waimin noticed that many of the greeks were also his classmates in the engineering program. If they could manage school and greek life, Waimin said, so could he.

itting in class freshman year, Alberto Lainez was constantly aware of himself in comparison to others. In almost every class, lecture or discussion group he was one of the handful — if that — of students of color.

It was a stark difference from his Brooklyn neighborhood, where the mix of identities was anything but homogeneous.

The realization put Lainez in a dark place that manifested from feelings of doubt of whether he deserved the opportunity to be in college.

There were times when he would break down in tears.

The feeling of otherness faded as he grew into the Latinx-greek community.

“There was always a brother that would reach out, and when they reached out it felt genuine,” Lainez said. “It

inked with her six line sisters, Torres performed on the Quad in front of hundreds of her peers for NALFO’s Stomp the Quad 2016.

Among applause and “woot woots” at the end of the performance, Torres said she felt a sense of belonging. She crossed into Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha a few weeks earlier and wasn’t sure she and her sisters would be able to pull it off.

“At that moment I realized that I was part of something bigger than myself,” Torres said.

old hoop earrings stand out against Mariah Bermeo’s brown curls and sway when she gets passionate while speaking. She dons them almost every day, especially when she’s volunteering with kids or when she knows high schoolers will be on campus.

“Society has this idea that somebody that’s from ‘the hood’ wouldn’t be able to make it to this school,” Bermeo said. “But when they see a girl with her hoops on they can see themselves in my shoes.”

For Bermeo, being a sister in Lambda Theta Alpha is about visibility. Students of color, from low-income homes and from “bad neighborhoods” need to see that representation so they know college is within their reach, she said. see bermeo page 12

Organizations to promote Dominican, Xicano culture

By Colleen Ferguson contributing writer

When Latinx students at Syracuse University didn’t see themselves represented in student organizations, they took matters into their own hands.

Now, the newly formed Dominican Student Association and Xicanxs Empowering Xicanxs are working to promote all-inclusive student activism and civic engagement.

During his freshman year, Angel Guerrero was unable to find a student organization he identified with. And as he got to know the Syracuse University community, he started to recognize its need for a Dominican group.

Guerrero spent last year getting the organization off the ground. Once it became an official student organization, Guerrero increased its popularity with DSA plantain raffles.

Guerrero, now a senior aerospace engineering major, emphasizes Latinx history in DSA. “Anyone interested can learn from our culture and find some resemblance in their culture as well,” he said.

Silvio Torres-Saillant, an English professor who is also Dominican, serves as the DSA’s faculty advisor. He supports the organization doing things that “increase the knowledge of the Dominican experience.”

Guerrero and Torres-Saillant said students of all ethnic backgrounds can find parallels with Dominican culture in their own lives.

DSA promotes civic engagement, cultural awareness and volunteerism because they are universal values, Guerrero said.

“Advocating for Dominicans is like advocating for human beings, period,” Torres-Saillant said.

“So whatever other people want and deserve, we just make sure that Dominicans get it too.”

This Saturday, the DSA will host a guided civic engagement workshop from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in Schine Student Center 304ABC. Connie Flores’ path to creating Xicanxs Empowering Xicanxs was similar to Guerroro’s. During the 2013-14 academic year, Flores said a ten-person Mexican student organization existed, but was inactive between spring 2014 and fall 2016.

Flores, a senior communications design major, reached out to some friends to rekindle these efforts.

“We wanted to put our abilities together to see what we could create,” Flores said.

Flores views being Mexican as a political consciousness, and emphasizes that this vision can help make group discussions inclu-

sive of all students, especially other Latinx cultures. It allows Mexican-Americans to embrace their heritage while working to dismantle oppressive institutions.

“We celebrate our culture a lot, but we also criticize our nationalism and what that has done to certain groups within our community,” said Luz Perez, current XEX president and sophomore in the Martin J. Whitman School of Management.

Flores helped create the visual identity of XEX currently uses, which contrasts indigenous with American symbols. The words “Xicanxs Empowering Xicanxs” are displayed in a typeface made to resemble the American flag, with a

face from the center of the Aztec calendar.

This identity reflects the original intentions of XEX, which became official last spring.

The first X in Xicanx is modeled after Malcolm X’s symbolic usage — it represented the activist’s true heritage being a mystery, and Xicanx students also cannot trace their roots.

Both groups encourage students of all identities to participate in their efforts. At XEX’s general body meeting on Thursday, group members expressed solidarity with those affected by President Trump’s decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals.

A vote was taken on upcoming XEX initiatives to show community support.

“We are cautious of how we go about tackling issues because we don’t want to force people to speak about something that may be hard to speak about,” Perez said. “Some actions will be taking place within the next few months, through collaboration with other organizations and initiatives that we take ourselves.”

Perez encourages others to listen to the group’s messages.

“We don’t come here to change the world,” Torres-Saillant said. “You form a student organization to change that piece of the world which is changeable in your particular environment.” cefergus@syr.edu

Annual run to raise funds for immigration program

By Molly Bolan

contributing writer

Promote justice, win prizes and get that cardio in — all in the same evening.

The Volunteer Lawyers Project of Onondaga County, also known as OnVLP, and Hiscock Legal Aid Society have come together to organize the third annual Justice Walk/Run at Onondaga Lake Park on Wednesday, Sept. 13. Both OnVLP and HLAS administer free legal assistance to marginalized residents of central New York.

The two nonprofits provide representation and information in regard to family court, housing and homeless advocacy, LGBTQ legal issues, and immigration. All proceeds from the Justice Walk/Run will be put toward a joint immigration project.

This year’s run comes with a new twist: Participants are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite Supreme Court justices.

Organizers added the theme to attract a wider range of participants and hope more college students will get involved. The family-friendly event brings awareness to real and daunting issues affecting Syracuse communities.

“Students don’t understand just how much need there is,” said Sally Fisher Curran, executive director of OnVLP. Over the last several years, tens of thousands of immigrants have resettled in upstate New York,

particularly in Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse.

“They do a lot for refugees here,” said Khadija Muse, a case manager at Refugee and Immigrant Self-Empowerment, further stating that refugees and immigrants “just need someone they can turn to until they find their way.”

The assistance and support offered in central New York is lacking in other parts of the country. But assisting such a large population is expensive. RISE plans to spend approximately $8,000 this year on interpreters alone.

OnVLP also helps facilitate processes like naturalization, resettlement and asylum.

Last year, the Justice Walk/Run raised more than $5,000. The funds from the run will be used to support services not covered by grants.

But it’s difficult to determine what exactly the funds will be allocated toward this year.

“The needs of our clients really varies,” said Jason Torreano, the Justice for All campaign director at HLAS. “Each client presents different challenges.”

With limited resources, collaboration between HLAS and OnVLP becomes all the more important. Today, immigrants are navigating tougher waters, and services like a Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals renewal clinic or a Know Your Rights clinic are essential to families in their pursuit of establishing a life in central New York. mfbolan@syr.edu

Flying solo After decade in bands, Cliff Diver wants to find his own sound

By Shannon Stubbs contributing writer

S

yracuse-based performer Tom Bushnell, more popularly known as Cliff Diver, has been playing in shows all over central New York. For years Diver has rocked the stage with multiple bands, but now he’s finding his own stride as a solo performer.

The Daily Orange spoke with him on his new freedom as a solo artist and upcoming music, in preparation for his show two upcoming Syracuse shows. He’ll be playing at Woody’s Jerkwater Pub and Grub on Friday and the InsideOut Tavern on Sept. 22.

The Daily Orange: How did you get into playing and performing music?

Cliff Diver: I got into music when I was about 15 years old, when I learned how to play the bass. I kind of gravitated to guitar because I was writing songs and I played bass in many

bands over the high school years and for the bands after that.

I actually played bass back in 2004 for Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Syracuse Stage. But I kind of just fell into it. It was something that was meant to be.

D.O.: What do you like the most about performing live?

C.D.: Right now, I’m playing a lot of cover material. But when I put my originals in, it seems that people respond very well to my original music, and I really enjoy that the crowd is liking what I’m doing and the reactions that I get from them.

There are certain songs that I do that they really like.

I have a song called “My Baby’s a Crackhead,” and they always love that song when I go into the first line. Also, there’s a song called “Porn,” which I kind of wrote from the point of view of a 13-year-old boy finding his first dirty magazine. So people remember these songs, and I like the fact that when they leave that night, the next time I see them, they ask me by name about the songs that I played. When it comes to covers, I’ll do “Space Oddity” and “Ziggy Stardust”

by David Bowie, which always go over well. There’s one that the crowd really loves and it’s “Blister in the Sun” by Violent Femmes. Everybody knows that song, and every time I play it, they just love it.

D.O.: Who are your musical inspirations?

C.D.: I would say anything from like the Ramones to Rush to maybe even Garth Brooks or R.E.M. But I even like newer stuff that comes out, like Justin Bieber’s new stuff is really good, and I like what DNCE is doing also. It’s hard for me to narrow it down to one or two acts. A lot of stuff I listen to kind of inspires me or influences my songs.

D.O.: What are you working on right now?

C.D.: I’m working on trying to get more work as a solo act, but also I’ve been getting the studio prepared to actually record some music. I’ve been writing a lot lately and I just need to get the music out there.

I haven’t put anything out in about 10 years because I’ve been playing in other people’s bands and playing in cover bands and things like that. So right now, I’ve been writing some songs. And actually there was a point that I’d been writing so many songs at once and kind of had to slow down. I’d like to have a little diversity on a record. My writing kind of goes all over the map depending on what instruments I’m playing, so I’ve been focusing more on the acoustic guitar at this point. snstubbs@syr.edu

Rodríguez’s experience paralleled Waimin’s. Every event he saw was sponsored

by Phi Iota Alpha or featuring Phi Iota Alpha, Rodríguez said. The fraternity’s prominence on campus is what swayed his involvement.

“Once you get your letters, you’re in the spotlight. There’s this sense of responsibility and different goals,” Waimin said. “I’m no longer just trying to get an education; I’m trying to do something for my community.”

During Latino/Hispanic Heritage Month, the fraternity hosts Sazón Phiota, bringing Latinx food, music and dance to SU’s dining halls, and Fiesta Latina.

If they as Latinxs don’t take on that responsibility, nobody else will, Waimin said. That responsibility means taking an active role in the city’s Latinx community through partnerships with organizations like La Casita Cultural Center, he added. And it also means graduating.

“Fulfilling this chapter and becoming a professional is a way I can help my community.

We need that representation in the professional world,” Waimin said.

Echoing the sentiments of other NALFO members, Torres said she didn’t intend to go greek. But Sigma Iota Alpha took her heart.

What sealed her decision, she said, was the philanthropic and professional focus of the organization. SIA is the only NALFO organization with a local, national and international philanthropy. To Torres it felt like the full package.

“With SIA there is no cookie-cutter sister,” Torres said. “We all bring something to the table.”

Syracuse adjusts without regular starter in 3-2 victory

By Josh Schafer asst. copy editor

When a team leads the nation in red cards, it’s constantly forced to adjust. On Tuesday against Oregon State, carryover from red card trouble forced Syracuse to learn to play without its second-leading player in points.

It was a very scrappy game. It wasn’t really a great soccer match.

Mo Adams syracuse midfielder

No. 7 Syracuse (4-0-2, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) looked disjointed at times without Johannes Pieles, but SU’s offense adjusted to carry the from page 16

oregon state Stangeland scored in the final minute to lock up a win against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. In the home opener against Princeton, Ricks sent in a volley from 30 yards out to secure a draw. And last Friday against Virginia, Hagman ripped an equalizer to salvage a point.

In the ninth minute of Tuesday’s game, Hendrik Hilpert called for the defenders to pressure the Oregon State attack. Loke Strenov ran down the middle of Syracuse’s defense unmarked and found Hassani Dotson down the left wing. He dribbled past Ricks before ripping a shot past Hilpert to give the Beavers a one-goal lead.

Six minutes later, Jonathan Hagman tied the game on SU’s only first-half shot. Oregon State’s 4-4-2 formation forced the Orange’s backline to bring the ball upfield since the majority of midfielders were shadowed.

team on a night when it was not its best. But, in the end, the Orange hit its magic number and beat Oregon State (2-4-0), 3-2, on Tuesday night at SU Soccer Stadium. The win is Syracuse’s 58th straight when scoring three goals, but this one didn’t come as clean as some of the others.

“We looked for stretches of the first half like it was a mid-week Tuesday game and we had just gotten out of biology lab,” said SU head coach Ian McIntyre.

With Pieles out, Petter Stangeland, a freshman forward from Norway, made his first career start. His inexperience showed. Stangeland held onto the ball too long.

Early in the first half, Stangeland had teammates offering help on either side, but he opted to challenge the defender himself. The take failed and Oregon State regained possession. Moments later, Stangeland found himself with no one but Oregon State goalkeeper Ryan Vincent in front of him. But, as the crowd perked up, the line judge raised his flag and the ball was given back to Oregon State. said. “It suited them, especially the first half.

In the second half we reacted.”

Midfielders began to break free in the second half as forwards pushed more, disrupting OSU’s formation. After a penalty kick from Kamal Miller gave the Orange a one-goal lead, Oregon State responded with a free-kick equalizer from just outside the penalty area. In response, Delhommelle re-entered the game with an area of focus.

“We were looking forward to score on a set piece,” Delhommelle said. “At the end of the day it’s just simple. A cross, a header and we score.”

The Orange had worked on set-pieces the week leading up to Tuesday night and McIntyre mentioned how he had been looking for someone to make a play in the box.

Ricks’ header off an Oregon State defender and into the back of the net marked the first time in 2017 that SU scored off a restart.

“It was going to come down to one little moment of brilliance,” McIntyre said. “Thankfully it was a Hugo service that was outstanding.” nialvare@syr.edu

That’s how much of the first half went for Syracuse. The offense, which averages over two goals per game, mustered one shot in the first half to Oregon State’s six.

“It was a very scrappy game,” sophomore midfielder Mo Adams said. “It wasn’t really a great soccer match.”

But then something clicked.

The field opened up and the Syracuse players who hadn’t previously seen much playing time began not to show it. It started with Mamadou Balde. The senior transfer, who hasn’t started a game since the second game of the season, gathered a loose ball at the top of the box. He faked left and then pressed right as the OSU defender slid to the ground. The two clanked ankles as the referee awarded Balde a penalty kick. Kamal Miller crushed the ball into the back right of the night for his first goal of the season, and, for SU, its first lead of the match.

“We started to move the ball faster, opened it up for each other and communicated more,” Balde said. “As our bodies warmed up we from page 16

Mowins is a native of Syracuse, and she attended graduate school at Newhouse.

Olivia Stomski, the director of Newhouse’s Sports Media Center, who also produces weekend broadcasts for ESPN, said Mowins was the perfect woman to end the drought for women in NFL broadcasting.

“Not just because she’s so good at her job,” Stomski said, “but because she’s always getting better.”

In her Syracuse apartment, Fish looked at the screen and saw someone similar to herself. Mowins is further along on the path Fish recently began traveling. Both are from upstate New York. Both played soccer, basketball and softball in high school. And both went to Newhouse for graduate school.

Like Fish, Peyton Zeigler is a master’s student in the sports communications emphasis at Newhouse, studying broadcast and digital journalism. She was working as a lab supervisor in Newhouse during the game, but made sure to watch the game on her laptop.

“There’s a lot of pride tonight as a woman that wants to get into that field,” Zeigler said.

“I’ve never seen a woman do play-by-play for a pro football game in my lifetime. It’s primetime, it’s a big game, so this is huge to me.”

Brooke Meenachan studies in the same program as Zeigler and recently founded a Syracuse chapter of the Association for Women in Sports Media. While Meenachan does not want to do play-by-play for footfrom page 16

punt return returned punts in high school and said he has worked on that earlier in his career, even when Scott Shafer was the head coach. He was excited for the opportunity to do it.

“I wanted to do it when Shafer was here.

But you know … Bris was there and I respect that. So I just knew my time was going to come soon,” Cordy said before the Central Connecticut State game. “That’s like my specialty that nobody don’t know.”

“I’ve definitely seen him do some things after he catches a pick,” Ervin Philips said about Cordy the same day. “I seen his high school highlights and he did that

(returned punts) a lot, he was electrifying.

So I’m excited.”

Cordy never got to return a punt, though.

The first punt of the season was returned by No. 1 wide receiver Steve Ishmael, who had yet to return a punt at SU. That was early in the first quarter against Central Connecticut State. Cordy got hurt and had to leave the game in the first quarter before a second punt came.

He did not return, and last Saturday he revealed that he has a hairline fracture in his leg and expects to be out until the Clemson game on Oct. 13.

Enter Syracuse wide receiver Sean Riley.

The 5-foot-8, 155-pound receiver was already the kick returner and took over Estime’s role

111-game win streak.

SU will also be taking part in four separate showcases and tournaments. The first is the Paradise Jam in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, beginning on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. Syracuse will play three games in the tropics, taking on Wisconsin, Vanderbilt and George Washington.

Days before Christmas, the Orange will of second slot receiver.

Riley had some big kickoff returns against Middle Tennessee State with a long of 48 yards, and has averaged 29 yards per return so far. But he hasn’t had the same success as a punt returner.

Riley’s returned five punts for just five yards. On some returns, such as against CCSU, he may have tried to make too many moves when nothing was there. As a result, he lost yardage. He muffed a punt midway through the third quarter against MTSU. The Blue Raiders recovered it and three plays later scored a game-tying touchdown.

“We’re going to try some more guys back there just because we don’t know what’s going on with Antwan yet,” Babers said after the

started to relax and pass it faster.”

Stangeland found his footing as well. He played a deep volley from goalkeeper Hendrik Hilpert through to Tajon Buchanan. The forward worked his way in before earning a corner kick. The first attempt was sent directly back at inserter Hugo Delhommelle. The second traveled near post before deflecting out of bounds off the foot of Syracuse defender John-Austin Ricks.

The result wasn’t important. The opportunity was one that didn’t come in a first half, where Syracuse failed to earn a corner kick.

In the second half, it earned seven. On the final one, Delhommelle fired the ball near post once again. Ricks again deflected the ball, this time with his head and the ball bounced off an Oregon State defender for a corner-kick goal. It was Syracuse’s first of the season.

“Coach makes these changes for the team,” Adams said. “Not for individuals to have their spark in the game. To kind of be compact and get the result and that’s what we did.” jlschafe@syr.edu | @Schafer_44

ball, she knows Mowins’ ascension is more important than one sport, that it holds larger implications for women in the field.

“She has worked her way all the way up to this,” Meenachan said. “I may have different aspirations, but for someone in my position, it says a ton about opportunity.”

On the TV, Rex Ryan finished his analysis on an instant replay. As the replay ended, Mowins stays silent. Fish noticed this pause.

“You don’t have to be talking all the time,” Fish said, turning up the volume. “I’m sure other people notice how good she is.”

Fish’s roommate, Zach Lennox, said he would have to hear more from Mowins before forming an opinion on her broadcasting. But, Lennox mentioned, Mowins sounded far more comfortable than the knowledgeable but unpolished Ryan.

On Twitter, not everyone was as convinced.

One tweet said Mowins was “completely intolerable.” Several others said that ESPN had “ruined” MNF with Mowins and Ryan.

“There are going to be critics,” Meenachan said. “It’s going to be harder as a woman working in a male-dominated industry. But you’ve got to do what you can to perform your best.”

During a timeout, Fish read aloud several other tweets critical of Mowins. She wasn’t surprised. She is at the beginning of her broadcast career, but already she understands criticism comes with being a woman with a microphone.

“You always want that feedback,” Fish said. “I want her to do well, but it’s important we hold her to the same standard (as we would men).

“That’s how she can keep paving the way.” jbbomba@syr.edu

CCSU game. “But we’re going to try some more guys back there but Sean’s fine. He does a good job with that stuff.”

Riley, who said he has returned punts since he was 5 years old, wasn’t told if it would be him, Cordy or Ishmael returning punts.

He said he is ready on every punt and said after Week 1 that he thinks he has returned the ball well.

So far, the numbers indicate otherwise.

And it’s unfair to expect anyone on the Orange to totally replicate Estime’s performance. But it’ll need to get more out of its punt return team to put the offense in better field position, and in turn, put the team in a better chance to win. tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

Syracuse possesses shortest forwards in conference

By Billy Heyen staff writer

When Syracuse lines up for pregame introductions, 5-foot-10 captain Roos Weers leads the walkout line. Directly behind Weers is 6-foot-1 vice-captain Lies Lagerweij. Both playback.

Third in line, and Syracuse’s second vice captain, is Emma Tufts. She’s a forward and stands just 5 feet tall.

TEAMS

Down the line, the three next shortest players are also listed as forwards and are all measured at 5-foot-1: Jennifer Bleakney, Caroline Cady and Elaine Carey. Carolin Hoffmann, the tallest of the Orange’s forward, stands 5-foot-4.

“I know our coaches like to recruit fast people to be up front,” Carey said. “And I know typically fast people just somehow end up being pretty short.”

No. 3 Syracuse (7-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) has yet to face a group of forwards as short as its own this season, according to heights and first-listed position from each team’s website. And the Orange won’t for the rest of the season. At the position, SU (61.4 inches) is the shortest team in the ACC by about three inches, compared to Boston College (64), North Carolina (64.6), Duke (64.8), Louisville (64.7), Virginia (66.8) and Wake Forest (64.7).

The average measurement of Syracuse’s forwards at 5-foot-1 does not include 5-foot6 freshman Chiara Gutsche, who does not have a listed position but has been used at times this season as a forward. Still, even if she were to factor in, SU would have the shortest lineup.

Heights do not appear to have factored into the Orange’s recruiting process. When asked about her forwards’ heights, SU head coach

Ange Bradley said: “I never really thought of it, quite honestly.”

Syracuse’s forwards have kept Bradley’s focus on the scoreboard by scoring two-thirds, 16 of 24, of the team’s goals this season.

The Syracuse defense also seems unaffected by practicing against shorter teammates in practice, because it has yet to struggle against taller opponents. SU opponents, in 490 minutes, have yet to score a goal this season.

While Syracuse forwards said it’s unclear how much of an advantage is gained by being

shorter, it helps Carey complete one of her favorite moves. When she drives toward a taller defender, she tries to slip the ball through the defender’s legs. Carey either succeeds in beating her defender, or, if she’s in the circle and the ball hits the opponent’s foot, SU wins a penalty corner.

“Win-win situation there,” Carey said.

Another potential benefit for Syracuse’s relatively short forwards comes from their stick lengths, Carey said. Although she’s a foot shorter than Lagerweij, Carey said her stick is only about an inch shorter than

Lagerweij’s. Carey finds herself running in a more comfortable, upright posture with the ball than a player with a similar stick length who’s much taller.

“I think we can use (our height) to our advantage over maybe taller girls that maybe aren’t as mobile,” Carey said. “There are tall people that are very fast, but in general, the stereotype is that they’re a little less mobile.”

Bradley has never worried about her forwards’ heights and, if they keep scoring the way they have been, she won’t start now. wmheyen@syr.edu

Syracuse’s athleticism allows it to deploy wingbacks

By Bobby Manning staff writer

A standard NCAA soccer field is 75 yards wide.

For Syracuse, the farthest sides of the field provide hope for an improvement from last season’s 1-7-2 conference record.

For the first time in her career, senior forward Eva Gordon is playing wingback. It’s a position that forces players to run 80 yards downfield to stack the offensive box with four or five bodies, then rush back the same distance to provide support on defense.

“It’s been around for a long, long time,” said SU head coach Phil Wheddon. “But you have to be brave enough to run it and you have to have the personnel ... it’s not a fun position to play sometimes, but we have four or five people who can do it.”

Gordon, Alex Lamontagne and Alana O’Neill are the three main wingbacks for SU. Clarke Brown comes in off the bench and occasionally Sydney Brackett will slide over from forward. Wheddon decided to implement a new 3-5-2 system because of the speed and athleticism of that Orange. By utilizing those five at wingback, he believes the Syracuse (5-21) will force opponents to adjust.

On Sunday, Wheddon’s vision came together in the 60th minute against Harvard.

Lamontagne roamed deep in the defensive end, while at midfield Kate Hostage recovered possession for Syracuse. Hostage dribbled around the defender but instead of attacking

the box in a straight line, she passed left to Brown, the wingback.

Three Crimson defenders stood along the top of the box to defend the net. When Brown charged from the left end, the defense shifted over. Meanwhile, Lamontagne sprinted 60 yards upfield as a trailer. Brown centered the ball to Opal Curless at the top of the box who turned around, awaiting Lamontagne.

In attack, (wingbacks) provide immediate width, so we stretch the other team.

Phil Wheddon head coach

The defense shifted to the center of the field to adjust and, instantly, Lamontagne appeared in the box on the right wing. No one covered her. Curless fed Lamontagne as she cut behind the defense. Lamontagne shot from point-blank range, placing the ball a few feet wide of the net as the crowd gasped at the ease of the chance.

“In attack, (wingbacks) provide immediate width, so we stretch the other team,” Wheddon said. “Their number one responsi-

bility is to provide width to us. Defensively, if we need to, we can have five at the back, which is great as well.”

Wings with a defensive background support the back line of Jessica Vigna, Taylor Bennett and Shannon Aviza. The system leaves the defense short-handed, but the effectiveness of Aviza gives Wheddon faith in his team’s ability to protect the net anyway.

Vigna plays in front of senior goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan, who directs traffic whenever the game shifts back into their end. The pair aims to position themselves correctly, field the ball and then the support of a defensive-oriented wing, like O’Neill, allows the Orange to quickly push in transition.

“We have really talented people on the outside and a really talented back three,” O’Neill said. “If we didn’t have such strong defenders we wouldn’t be able to play a back three.”

Gordon said she focuses on the team’s back three, but playing from the back helps her jumpstart the “creative and fun” offensive aspect of the game.

From the sideline, Wheddon said he sees more offensive sophistication, where the team displays more to its identity. Hostage’s deke in the Harvard game is part of a trend of through balls and floaters over the defense, “passes that we haven’t seen before.”

On defense, rotation will be Syracuse’s key against ACC teams. SU has allowed two more goals than last year at this point, but only

three total against two ranked opponents.

Last season, the Orange didn’t play any in its nonconference schedule.

“The rotation of our wingbacks tucking in, making four in the back is critical,” Wheddon said. “I feel like we’re getting better and better in that, and as we move forward ... we’re going to have to make sure our timing is very good on that.”

Gordon knows that ACC teams will push to expose SU’s back end, which is where communication comes into play.

“That’s something I personally excel in,” Brosnan said, taking responsibility for defensive organization.

Vigna expressed concern over close shots and offenses playing balls between the Orange’s backline. If ACC teams get three or four of those chances, Vigna said, they’ll likely score a goal or two.

Syracuse is hoping to counteract its diminished defensive numbers with its athletic personnel. More bodies on offense will leave the Orange wingbacks with a heavy burden on getting back, but the team feels they’re tailormade to do just that.

“The coaches do a really good job picking a formation that fits and suits the girls here in our athletic strengths,” Gordon said. “I think it’s only going to benefit us in the ACC. … I think we’re just as athletic, if not more so, than any other ACC team right now.” rpmannin@syr.edu

Heading into the game, four of Syracuse’s five games had been decided in the final 10 minutes of regulation and Tuesday night’s contest proved no different as No. 7 Syracuse (4-0-2, 0-0-1 Atlantic Coast) downed Oregon State (2-4-0), 3-2, at SU Soccer Stadium.

Syracuse struggling on punt returns

By Tomer Langer

After beating two ranked teams on the road last weekend, Syracuse rose to No. 3 in Tuesday’s National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll. The Orange received three first-place votes.

SU (7-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) climbs two spots from No. 5 and is one of three undefeated teams remaining in the Top 25. The other two undefeated teams, Connecticut (5-0) and Penn State (5-0), are No. 1 and 2, respectively.

Six other ACC teams are represented in the rankings, with No. 4 Duke and No. 5 Virginia rounding out the Top 5. North Carolina (No. 7), Boston College (No. 10), Louisville (No.11) and Wake Forest (No. 16) are the other ACC squads.

UNC and Duke each fell three spots, including Duke from No. 1, after both teams suffered Friday losses. The Tar Heels to Wake Forest and the Blue Devils to Virginia. UVA and Wake Forest both jumped at least three spots higher in the rankings.

Over the weekend, Syracuse shellacked then-No. 8 BC, 6-0, and shutout then-No. 21 Albany, 2-0. The Orange is the only team in the country that has yet to allow a goal.

Next, Syracuse faces off with No.16 Wake Forest at J.S. Coyne Field on Saturday at 11 a.m.

Estime’s loss was more understated. He led the country in punt return average (17.7), consistently putting the Orange in good field position to start drives. SU hasn’t gotten much at all from its punt return unit — only seven yards on six returns — that was a strength of last year’s team.
