Your degree is not worthless The Higher Learning Commission reaccredited Doane College.

Nate Knobel/The Owl Higher Learning Commission staff members listen to a Doane student speak at the open forum.

TYLER WEIHE DESIGN EDITOR

Doane College was reaccredited after a comprehensive evaluation early this week by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Failure to be reaccredited would have meant that many students would have to find a new avenue for their education. Degrees would be worthless to employers. Junior John Wiemer, a Student Congress member, said he wouldn’t know what to do if Doane didn’t get a finalized reaccreditation. “I guess I really don’t have a backup plan because I have faith Doane will get reaccredited,” Wiemer said. “I think Doane does great things, and I guess I have faith in them. I’m not too worried.” Wednesday afternoon, Doane President Jacque Carter sent an email to students and faculty that explained Doane’s successful reaccreditation. “In the end, the recommendation for reaccreditation is an

achievement for the whole Doane community and a testament to the hard work that is devoted to teaching and educating students,” Carter said, “Congratulations and thank you.” The HLC is an independent corporation that accredits degreegranting post-secondary educational institutions in the North Central region, according to the HLC website. Doane prepared for this week’s evaluation during the past two years. John Burney, academic affairs vice president, helped Doane submit a 210 page self-study that details the college’s effort to meet HLC requirements. There are five criteria that HLC evaluates institutions on: mission and integrity, preparation for the future, student learning and effective teaching, acquisition, discovery and application of knowledge and engagement and service. “We had to demonstrate for them the five criteria, and how we meet those criteria and we actually have to cite evidence,” Burney said. Wiemer said Burney met with StuCo numerous times to ask for student input about Doane’s education.

Student gives near-stranger ‘anything-but-sorry’ card BENJAMIN LAWRENCE STAFF WRITER

Almost two weeks ago, one Doane student lost his sister. This week, 534 students, staff and faculty showed him that they cared. Freshman Jacob White made an ‘anything-but-sorry’ card for freshman Tanner Clark after his sister, Lydia, died from an undiagnosed heart condition. “I wanted to put signatures on it (card), but I didn’t know how to get people to do it,” White said. “I started calling my friends and asking them to come over and sign it.” One of those friends was sophomore April Scdoris. “He called me and said to come sign his card,” Scdoris said. “My friends and I went, and after that, Jake (White) and I talked and decided to show it to everyone.” White and Scdoris proceeded to take the

Hunke said that the entire bill would not be released to students yet, but students would have access to it. Sophomore Chelsea Rohlfing said she thought it was important for students to have input in the formation of the bill. “Students should be able to have a lot of say in it since it is their rights,” Rohlfing said. “They (StuCo) should have enough in-

“I think the great thing about Doane’s students and faculty is we’re always looking to improve,” Wiemer said. The HLC read the self-study and more than 1,100 additional documents. “There are assessment studies, catalogs, faculty and student hand books,” Burney said. “So when they (HLC) come on campus, they’ve read a whole bunch of stuff already.” HLC’s responsibility while at Doane was to verify that everything in the self-study was true. “When they talk to students and faculty on campus they’re verifying that everyone is on the same page,” Burney said. “If they heard something different View from students and faculty, then they’ll start asking for more information.” Doane’s Carter’s e-mail said the process was not self-study finalized. “I will inform you when the process is fiat: nalized and we can speak more publicly of Doane.edu/hlc the results,” Carter said.

Every time freshman Austin Booher left his old room in Frees Hall, he checked the marker board on his door. Twice in the last three weeks, derogatory statements have been waiting for him. Once this week, there was a threat on his life. The statement indicated bias toward his sexual orientation. “I feel like writing something on a marker board like that is cowardly,” Booher said. “It’s not ok.” Booher said he now lives in a different residence hall. It was his choice to move. Russ Hewitt, student leadership associate dean, said he hoped students would come forward with information regarding the event. “We’re looking for information,” Hewitt said. “We’ve released everything we know, so now we’re working on finding things out.” Booher said he believed the perpetrator(s) didn’t understand what they were doing. “It (the statement) not only affects me, but everyone on 3rd floor of Frees,” Booher said. The statement has been classified by the Safety Office as a Hate Crime by Intimidation under the Campus Crime Statistics Act. In response to the hate crimes, Queer Straight Alliance (QSA) will have an event where everyone is invited to make an Ally Tshirt. QSA President Bri McGuffey said she was

Bedbug total treatment cost was estimated by the business office to be $7,000 to $10,000. Business Analyst Steve Thompson said extermination and hotel expenses comprise the majority of the cost. Other expenses include the cost of laundry and Nuvan strips which were used to kill bugs on students’ cloth items. Thompson said the total cost could fluctuate. The total cost will be determined once invoices are collected and should be available within a few weeks.

Thank you.” White said he hardly knew Clark, and only spoke to him

twice before he learned of Clark’s sister. “We just introduced ourselves, really,” White said. “I had to ask him for his name twice.” Last Wednesday, White added Clark as a friend on Facebook. There, he learned about Clark’s misfortune. “I read all the posts on his wall,” White said. “All of these people were giving him condolences, trying to comfort him. As I read them, I realized that he was comforting them; turning their love around and sharing it with them.” White said one particular

post spurred him to action. “There was a girl who was sick that posted on his wall,” White said. “She said, ‘thank you for taking care of me today Tanner, you’re the best.’” That girl was freshman Amber Alvarez. “He’s been through so much recently,” Alvarez said. “For him to take care of me while I was sick was amazing. It takes a lot for someone to do that.” White said he felt compelled to do something for Clark. “For someone to lose a family member they love, and then to be so selfless? I had to do some-

thing for him,” White said. “It was the right thing to do.” Scdoris said she didn’t know Clark well, but wanted to help. White said word of mouth eventually preceded the two, and soon, people were coming up to them, asking to sign the card. “We had so many people sign, from the construction workers by Perry, to President Carter himself. It was incredible,” White said. Clark said he missed his sister, but had to accept losing her. “You have to take care of everyone else, too,” Clark said. “That’s what Lydia always did.”

Doane’s Relay ranked top in nation COURTNEY SCHNABEL STAFF WRITER

Doane was the top college in fundraising for Relay for Life per capita in the 1,000-2,999 enrollment bracket in the nation. Doane raised $65,790.04 total, with the per capita at $66.79 per participant. Doane topped the Great Plains region, with Nebraska Wesleyan University coming in second with $19.99 per capita.

lating ideas,” StuCo President Laura Jacob said. Jacob said it was challenging to cover all of the rights and wording the document in a way that the rights could be legally applied. Sophomore JaCee Pilkington said she thought the bill was a good thing to implement. “It (bill) would make a better standard for what is allowed and what is not,” Pilkington said. The final draft of the bill must be approved by the college’s attorney, cabinet and Board of Trustees. Hunke said his goal was to have a final draft of the bill ready for the Board of Trustees in the first week of May.

Ronda Bruns, an American Cancer Society staff partner, worked with Doane to plan the Relay event. Bruns said one reason Doane did well was because it was the only Relay event in the county, compared to Lincoln where there were several Relays. Jessica Brown, Relay for Life executive board member, said she attributed Doane’s success to students’ passion for the cause.

“A lot of students and community members take the mission to heart,” Brown said. “The night of Relay you see all of the heart people are putting into it. That moves mountains when it comes to fundraising.” Bruns said that she noticed support from Doane faculty and the Crete community. “That can be a huge factor in fundraising,” Bruns said. Nick Lukens, Relay for Life

executive board member, said that Doane’s success would continue to go up in the future. The fundraising goal for this year is $75,000, Lukens said. He said this goal could be met because the committee was well organized and would start raising funds three months earlier this year. Lukens said he would like to see Doane break records and increase the per capita and overall fundraising amounts.

Disc course almost completed

Directors speak to students

PARKER SLEPICKA STAFF WRITER

Construction on the disc golf will be completed next spring. Money for the course has been spent to purchase supplies, and now all the finishing touches simply need to be added to the course. The idea to improve the disc golf course came from previous Student Congress (StuCo) senator Tony Odem. Odem said there hadn’t been enough support for the project this year. “I thought I had a lot more support than I ended up actually having,” Odem said. “I can’t deal with that large of a project single handedly.” With the allocation money, nets have already been cemented into the ground for stability and tee boxes have been clearly marked to improve the appearance of the course. Odem said plans for the course that still needed to be implemented included putting the pads, or rubber mats, in place and leveling out the ground Vice President Adam Hunke said the money was given to Odem from the StuCo continuance account, which is an account that uses leftover money. The disc golf course is usable, and that there had been a sanctioned tournament held last spring. Odem said he planned to host another tournament in the spring. Senior Chase Jones, a disc golf player, said he would be interested to see the fate of the course. Jones said he hadn’t played disc golf since the summer but he was happy to see what else the course could become. Odem said the course should be completed in early spring when the ground thaws.

The recent protests in a private park in New York City have become a global phenomenon that now includes Doane students. Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is a people-powered loosely organized movement that began on Sept. 17. The purpose of the protests are to fight against the power of major banks and large corporations. Individuals also protest the role of Wall Street in creating an economic recession. However, many individuals are protesting various complaints. The 99% movement, which began as result of the OWS protest, claims that the richest one percent of the population controls a disproportionate amount of the nation’s wealth and political power. Some Doane students said they disagreed with the protesters involved in OWS. “I oppose the protest,” freshman Carter Hulinsky said. “There are more appropriate ways to solving conflict.” Senior Jessica Brown said the issue could relate everyone, not just students. “Being a business major, I recognize that there is more to the issue than the profits of a few big banks,” Brown said. “The issue can definitely relate to anyone because of the way the government has handled big banks.” Despite criticism, the pro-

Hate crime disrespectful Liberal arts education should teach students how to appropriately express opinions. The recent hate crimes on campus are absolutely unacceptable. Doane students should have learned their lessons last year. Judging another student based on his or her differences of opinion is wrong. The whole reason we’re here, at a liberal arts college, is to challenge ourselves and diversify. Students can’t feel comfortable doing that if they’re constantly in fear of being out casted or even threatened. The fact that the student or students wrote on a dry erase board to express an opinion shows cowardice. We should pride ourselves on our liberal arts education. Doane’s liberal arts program gives us the power to make decisions and form our opinions appropriately. We should express them appropriately, too. From now on, if you have an issue or concern with someone’s race, gender, religion or sexual orientation, deal with it in person, and express your opinion in a respectful way. That doesn’t mean we should all walk around telling people that we dislike everything they stand for, but if someone has a question about the opinion of another student, they should feel comfortable approaching that student and asking for more information. We each have freedom to have our individual opinions. If we allow each other to express those opinions in an appropriate and respectful way, we can do nothing but grow from it.

Student runs from crowd, finds nature Last week, Costa Rica suffered massive flooding across the Pacific Coast, but in Puerto Viejo, a tourist city on the Caribbean, there was a different kind of flood this weekend. Gringos. With the Pacific side basically closed, many students and tourists chose to visit the old port city and I was completely immersed in English for the first time since I came to Costa Rica. In Puerto Viejo, every night is lady’s night, marijuana (although illegal) is very openly sold and streets are lined with sketchy hostels, but if you can escape to the outskirts of the city, you will find incredible natural wonders. In Costa Rica, the beaches are owned by the public and so you can walk along them as far as you want, which I took advantage of on Saturday. After about six miles I eclipsed the gringo zone and reached Cahuita National Park, where I found an incredible amount of biodiversity. As I made my way through the beachside forests, fruit began to fall from a fig tree all around

me. When I looked up to investigate the culprit, all I saw was orange; a direct hit. A second take at the situation found a pack of barking howler monkeys hurling fruit and sticks at me. I answered with a yell, but they persisted. I had run into howler monkeys in Costa Rica before, but they had generally been unconcerned of humans, not fearful and violent as these were. There had to be something to fear here, whether it human or predator. After about five minutes I got my answer as a massive shadow sailed over the canopy, the shadow of a Great Black Hawk. All of the monkeys retreated feverishly to their vines for cover. Later I got my conformation as a hawk flew over me with a monkey hanging from its talons. This

was the first ecosystem I had visited where these monkeys were regulated, and so the first truly healthy ecosystem. As I continued down the next five miles of the path I found an ecosystem fully intact with ryan corrigan ants, lizards everywhere, snakes, sloth, crocodiles, Capuchin monkeys and even a kinkajou! The end of the trail was like icing on the cake as it returned to the warm Caribbean waters and found a vertical shaft of rock to climb and look out from. At the top I looked down on coral reefs in the turquoise waters, with thousands of fish swimming about. As I returned to the tourist-infested city, I realized I had never seen such an intact ecosystem in my life.

Student Bill of Rights long overdue The Student Bill of Rights is a project Student Congress has been working on so long that even StuCo isn’t sure how many years the project has been in the works. Finally, StuCo released a first draft. But there are quite a few issues with the Bill. First, students were not asked for input in this first draft. The Student Congress has constructed this draft solely through its own ideas. Although StuCo members are elected representatives, there are often situations where their opinions do not mesh with the opinions of the rest of the student body. If this Bill of Rights is supposed to reflect the rights of the students, then the students should be involved in the writing process. A forum will be offered to discuss the Bill of Rights, but this won’t be until the bill has already been edited a few times. That means the original writers will be pretty attached to the ideas and opinions that the bill stands for. The forum probably won’t make a difference. By that time, the bill will be past due for the opinion of the student

body. Once the bill is finalized, it has to be approved by the college’s attorney, cabinet and the Board of Trustees. So in the end, even if the students are able to agree what the Bill of Rights should say, it may all be for nothing if it doesn’t get approved. Whether or not it gets approved by those three groups, they won’t see it until May (or that’s the goal for now). So seniors can kiss the idea of a Bill of Rights goodbye. Juniors can keep their fingers crossed for a tentative Bill of Rights to maybe go in effect for their senior year. The only students benefiting from this Bill of Rights, then, look to be the sophomores and freshmen. Considering the fact that the bill has been a proposed idea for longer than anyone can recall, even sophomores and freshmen may be out of luck. Of course, we’re more than pleased that the Bill of Rights is finally going somewhere, but we want to have a say in it and we want to see it happen before another decade goes by.

Thumbs up to students who choose to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem - and are willing to pick up messes they did not make. Thumbs up to Relay for Life for being named No. 1 in per capita funding for all colleges with an enrollment of 1,000-2,999 students. Thumbs up to freshman Jacob White and sophomore April Scdoris for helping a stranger in need. Thumbs up to a much needed fall break. Hopefully students can come back feeling rejuvinated and ready for the rest of the semester. Thumbs up to the Student Congress projects that have been completed already. Hopefully the rest of the projects are successfully completed this semester.

Thumbs down to not having enough signatures yet for Butler gatherings. There’s just over one week before the next gathering- which isn’t a lot of time for planning. Thumbs down to annoying your professor. Classes are difficult enough without having your professors on your bad side. Thumbs down to the cost of treating bedbugs. That money could have been much better spent promoting our educations. Thumbs down to the free movie at the Isis. It’s nice that students didn’t have to pay, but it would be even nicer if the movie was rated above a C+. Thumbs down to the flu and cold going around campus. The cold weather doesn’t help.

Secret Hiding Spots on Campus

If you ever wanted to play a game of hideand-seek around campus or you needed a little breather from your Doane pupils, there is a nook or cranny somewhere with your name on it.

!3. The last row of

documents:

Heckman Auditorium:

I’m sure the librarians won’t condone this, but there are empty shelves at the bottom of the last few rows of government documents. If you crawl on the bottom shelf and stretch out, then someone can close the entire unit. It is not for those who are claustrophobic, but this is a game-winning spot.

Not a lot of people will try to find someone in Heckman because it seems really open. Sprawl out behind the back of the seats and you will definitely be hidden.

The elevator in the Con is extremely slow and most people take the stairs. This one is risky, but it can be fun being in a moving hiding spot.

Fraternity causes fright at Roca Scary Farm ERIN BELL

Doane’s Tau Sigma Zeta fraternity volunteers to scare at Roca Scary Farms Members of Tau Sigma Zeta know how to work as a team and sometimes the results can be terrifying. The members of the fraternity are familiar scary faces at Roca Scary Farm’s Haunted Hayrack Ride. The men help scare visitors on the Haunted Hayrack Ride. They work on Friday and Saturday nights during the month of October as well as every night the week preceding Halloween.

‘Contagion’ only worth C+ grade PARKER SLEPICKA STAFF WRITER

Blogspot.com

If you want a zombie movie without the blood, guts, and, zombies, then Contagion is for you. Overall, the film has many sub plots and underlying tones that will keep you on the edge of your seat waiting for something to happen, but that something never really happens. Death comes early in the film as Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) comes back from Hong Kong to see her husband Mitch Emhoff (Matt Damon). The next day, she is found dead. Their son Clark (Griffin Kane) is the next victim in the Emhoff family. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is called and they try to figure out what is happening. Meanwhile, cases of the virus pop up in Hong Kong and London.

The CDC’s job is tough because of the unknown cause of the deaths, but is made even tougher because of blogger Alan Krumiede (Jude Law). Krumiede takes the opportunity of fear to make him a source of all truths. This is unwelcome by the CDC and other organizations that try to keep people calm. An underlying tone of the film is how media and people like Krumiede make situations worse when in desperate times. The actions of Krumiede show how people will react, and it is not friendly like everyone would hope. Looting and violence are another key point of the movie. People will do anything to obtain food and drugs to survive. The neighborly attitude is tossed out the window. The ending of the movie was a cliff hanger. A cure was found, but the audience isn’t told what the ef-

Opinion fects are, or if it really works. The antagonist, or the blogger, was imprisoned but made bail and after that he wasn’t heard from again. Matt Damon’s role of the nice, neighborly guy was thankless. He lost his wife and son and tried to keep society from crumbling around him, but he wasn’t in the film very long. The movie focused more on what the CDC was doing. The end left me with many questions that went unanswered. I thought that it was a good movie but I would rate it as a C+.

life+leisure Top 5 ways to annoy your professor

What are your plans for fall break?

We asked six Doane professors what students were doing to really push their buttons. Here is their Top 5:

HANNAH BAUER

STAFF WRITER

!5.

Only focus on the grade.

!2.

You don’t take responsibility.

Students who argue with professors about a few points are obnoxious, said both Clement and Orsag. The same goes for students who are only interested in what they’ll be tested on. “Like I’m going to tell you what exactly is going to be on the test,” Clement said.

Students who come into class and ask if they missed anything important when they were gone is a pet peeve for both Johnson and Clement. “Take responsibility for your own learning,” Johnson said. “We write down the grade you earn. We don’t give you anything.” Orsag said he was annoyed with students who neglect to turn in homework and don’t attempt to make it up. “Don’t say nothing (about missing assignments) and hope I don’t notice, because I’m going to,” Orsag said.

!4.

Don’t follow directions. Clanton said getting students to follow his specific directions is always a challenge. Clement agreed. “When it says ‘write out the Punnett square,’ write the Punnett square out,” Clement said.

Being rude and disrespectful. Springer said students who use their phones or have side conversations during class are distracting. “I think students should think about what would bother them,” Springer said. “It’s just common courtesy.” Johnson said he agreed. “I think in general the students here are the nicest kids… but that doesn’t always mean they have good etiquette,” Johnson said. Clanton said he felt there was

a lack of respect for professors among students. “ P r o f e s s o r s are professionals,” Clanton said. “We’re not your friends, even if you call us by first name. Stu-

dents think they can act the same way in the classroom as they do in a dorm room, and that’s not conducive to learning.”

All six interviewed professors said the main problem they have with their students is apathy. “The thing I struggle with most is when I see a student who has the privilege of a college education and is blowing it off,” Kalbach said. Springer said that professors and students need to have a dialogue. “If I don’t have an engaged class, I don’t know anything,” Springer said. Clanton said he sees disinterest in many students. “There’s a curiosity vacuum I get from some students,” Clanton said. “You can’t be a ghost

here. If you’re expecting to just come to class and have the professor tell you what to think, this isn’t the place for you.” Being an active member of the class can even help students with their final grade. “If I know who this person is and I’ve talked to them, my inclination to give them a break is much greater,” Orsag said.

“Go home and see my family.”

Student talks season’s must-see horror flicks that students thought bed bugs were the worst things hiding in hotels.

JORDAN JOHNSON COPY DESK CHIEF

Zombie

The slew of terrible horror movies invading television programming have made it impossible to dismiss that Halloween is right around the corner. After watching the travesty that is “Flight of the Living Dead,” I was left with little hope for the genre. The film had little notion of the long history of horror flicks and no feel for the art of creating true suspense and terror. Sadly, I fear that others will be exposed to this type of crappy cinema that only a zombie could enjoy. To protect the numerous students, who will undoubtedly sit down for a sober Halloween in the absence of Butler activities, I have taken the liberty of selecting this season’s must-see flicks.

Classic Horror

American Psycho is the clear winner here. Even if you’re not a fan of black and white, the Bates Hotel is sure to make you cautious of anyone named Norman and their mother. And to think

My personal favorite is 28 Days Later. After watching, I slept in my parents’ room at the tender age of eighteen. Yes, it’s that scary. Hardcore zombie fans may argue that the rage virus feature in the film doesn’t constitute a true zombie film. In response, they should spend more time developing their zombie apocalypse stockpile and less time debating details.

Haunted House

The Orphanage is a clear front-runner in this category and with producer Guillermo del Toro you just can’t go wrong. This thriller has everything it needs to unsettle its audience including ghoulish children, a gothic house, and an eerie clairvoyant.

Spoofs

There is no debate. Young Frankenstein is the best horror spoof out there. This loveable reworking of the familiar Fran-

kenstein story is impossible not to enjoy. If you’re not particularly fond of sleeping with the lights, I’d highly recommend this comedic alternative.

Doane football rallies for first in GPAC LYNDSEY HRABIK NEWS EDITOR

Doane football will play in a battle for first in the conference this weekend. The tigers will take on Dakota Wesleyan University at 1 p.m. Saturday at Simon Field. Dakota Wesleyan shares a three-way tie for first place in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) with Doane and Morningside, who defeated the Tigers in their last game 31-16. If Doane and Morningside both win, they will be tied for first. If Doane is the only winner of the three teams, they will move in as the sole leader. Head Coach Matt Franzen said multiple factors contributed to the Morningside loss. He said Morningside came out well prepared, and that the tigers weren’t playing their usual game. “It seemed like we were never in sync for the first time this season,” Franzen said. Senior Quarterback Anthony Dunn said he didn’t think the team came out in that game with the same energy level as in past weeks this season. He said he attributed the loss to their practices in the week before the Morningside game. “We didn’t bring as much energy as we could have or should have (in practice),”

Dunn said. But coming off of a bye week, Franzen said he hoped the team would be rejuvenated. He said the players had a break last weekend. Dunn said the bye week had helped the team get rested, and that this week the team had been stressing high energy levels in practice. “We’re doing a couple more live things to heighten the intensity of practice,” Dunn said. Franzen said Dakota Wesleyan was a well balanced team, but that they would need to be particularly aware of their passing game. Dakota Wesleyan has some of the better wide receivers, he said. Dunn said he thought teamwork would be a major factor to winning Saturday. "I think that the key to the game is going to be playing a solid game as a team," Dunn said. Sophomore Defensive Back Byron Evans said the team would need to pick up the intensity, but that the team would focus on all aspects of the game. “We take everything into account,” Evans said. Dunn said that although it would be over fall break, he hoped students would show their support the same as they did when Doane played Midland.

The Doane men's rugby team faltered 18-40 to Tri-Cities at home on Saturday in its final game of the semester. Three men scored for Doane; junior Chris Davey, senior Han Chu, and sophomore Curtis Underwood. Underwood said Tri-Cities brought challenges to the table that kept the Doane team on its feet. “They definitely tested us in terms of the physical game and the strategy aspect of rugby,” Underwood said. Junior Michael Bergfield said he felt that the team’s major weak spot was its lack of players. “If we could recruit more people, it would help a lot,” Bergfield said. “We played well, but there is always room for development.” Junior Quint Geis said he felt that the team had made big improvements from the beginning of the season. “During this last game I saw the team start to gain a better understanding of how the game of rugby is really played,” Geis said. Tri-Cities was the Doane men's final game of the semester, but Geis said there will be more games next semester. He graded the team’s standard of playing this semester. “I guess if I had to rate it in

Volleyball defeats Midland Cassidy Stefka/The Owl Junior setter Desiree Erikson prepares to block a Midland University player.

MIMI SHIRLEY STAFF WRITER

Doane volleyball fought back after a tough loss last Saturday to beat Midland University in 4 sets. The Tigers defeated the Warriors 3-1 last night in a very close match. “We had a different set up and adjusted really well,” Rollman said. Head Coach Cindy Meyer said the team was able to bounce back from their pervious loss and play as a team. “We are going to build from this win. Saturday’s game was a bad loss but we took care of business and bounced back,” Meyer said. Even lineup changes weren’t enough to halt the Tigers’ game. “With Emily sick, Kelly really came through,” Meyer said. “We put a lot of pressure on the other team by our aggressive serving, made them (Midland) play defense.” After winning the first set, the Tigers fell in the second set, but were able to rally back and win the third and fourth set. The Tigers trailed for the majority of the first set,

but managed to come back and win 25-21. Senior Terra Andreasen said the team played and communicated with each other well. “The hitters connected well with the setters,” Andreason said. The second set was close but Midland was able to win 25-21, tying the match 1-1. The Tigers were able to defensively shut down the Warriors’ attempt to take the third set. “We released all we had on the inside, out on the court and kept nothing in,” junior Susan Rollman said. Doane won the third set 25-22. With a consistent lead, it appeared the Tigers would end the match in the third set easily. But Midland rallied and was able to challenge Doane on game point. However, the Warrior attack was not enough to pick up a game ending block. The Tigers took the set 25-21. “We really came together as a team tonight. The last few games we have been down in our own little worlds,” Andreason said. The Tigers were lead by sophomore Ashley Axmann, who had 22 kills. Andreason and Rollman both had 12 kills. The Tigers next game is Saturday against Northwestern College at 3:00pm.
