RECORD BREAKING

DAY By Samantha Mehrtash| @TheCollegian

BY THE NUMBERS $4,700

Fundraised by Fresno State Army ROTC in 2015

Thousands of students and community members saw the sun rise as they sold Kids Day editions of the Fresno Bee. Kids Day has been the Valley’s opportunity to gather the community to sell a special editions of the Fresno Bee for $1 to help raise money for Valley Children’s Hospital since 1988. Fresno State has been actively involved in Kids Day. Over 2,000 students and staff make their way out to the busiest intersections selling newspapers as early as 5 a.m. Last year the university alone raised over $43,000. The Fresno State Army ROTC came in second place last year to Sigma Phi Epsilon in their first year participating, raising around $4,700, according to Cadet Lakhwinder Singh who led last year’s team. The Army ROTC returned this year set out to win first place in the 29th annual Kids Day Fundraiser. The team’s shortcoming was ultimately caused by their last minute decision to participate in Kids Day last year leaving them weak in numbers, “Later in the day we only had a few cadets out there so I think that’s the reason we may have lost,” Singh said.

Fresno State’s Bulldog Battalion Army ROTC cadets encourage drivers to buy a special edition of The Fresno Bee for Kids Day to help raise money for Valley Children’s Hospital at the intersection of Blackstone and Herndon avenues – raising $7,600 on Tuesday, March 8, 2016. Cadets also did push-ups as an incentive for people to buy newspapers and donate. Several of the Bulldog Battalion cadets camped out the previous night in temperatures in the mid-40s to reserve the intersection.

FREE SPEECH AREA

DON’T THUMP THE BIBLE THUMPERS That is exactly what they want you to do

By Megan Bronson @Bronsosuarus

The radical Bible thumpers on campus have raised their stakes this week at the Free Speech Area. And it is annoying. They disrupt our academic learning environment and impede student traffic. This week individuals walked from the Free Speech Area to the fountain, pointing out students and telling them they are going to hell. Students were targeted for things like piercings (the devil’s work, said the speaker) and carrying feminist textbooks (women belong in the kitchen, according to another speaker). Unfortunately there is not much the university can do about it. The crazies have the right to be there just as much as we do. While we may not agree with their words or their methods, we have to respect their freedom of speech. Unless they incite a riot or physically harm someone, their speech is protected. While the case can be made that what the speakers are doing is hate speech – hate speech is one of those grey areas of the law. There is no universal definition of hate speech, and even if there were, hate speech is not exempt from our First Amendment rights. Nor should it be. The moment one person is silenced, the possibility for all of us to be silenced exists. That being said, you do not have to give them your attention. Yes, you may hate them. They

may stand for everything you despise, but do not give them power over you. The best kind of hatred is not hatred at all – it is indifference. So while an old man in waning tweed tells you that masturbation will send you to hell, ignore him. If you ignore him, he has no audience and therefore no power. Let the radicals be radicals, there is no real place for them in a space of higher learning. Just by being at Fresno State and educating yourself, you have set yourself a cut above those that are perpetuating hateful ideas at our Free

Speech Area. There always seems to be a pool of people that surround the speakers while they verbally harass students. Part of this is because it is a spectacle. What these people are doing is garnering attention. They are not embodiments of Christianity, they are radicals that stain the good work that local churches partake in. A better use of these people’s time would be volunteering at some of the local churches that hand out food to students with food insecurity.

What these individuals want is to provoke you, and build the case that they are victims. Don’t give them that affirmation. Don’t threaten them, don’t pick fights with them. In their mind, when we become upset and react, we are validating their insipid and ignorant ideas. Don’t feed the trolls. If they tell you that loving someone of the same sex will send you to hell, smile. Do what the Cross Cultural and Gender Center did when harassed by the hateful preachers – hand out rainbow stickers and smile.

Cinthia Quesada • Special to The Collegian

Use their hatred as an opportunity to set examples and educate those around us. Loving someone of the same sex does not mean that you are a bad human. Masturbating is natural and fun. Feminism doesn’t send you to hell, it empowers the entire population. While these evangelicals are trying to tear people down, what they have done instead is unite students of all backgrounds in solidarity against them. Use that solidarity to spread peace and inclusivity.

Army ROTC wins first place in Kids Day Fundraiser KIDS DAY from Page 1 This year, having been readily prepared with a scheduled time sheet, they had around 70 cadets at their prime selling papers and planned to have no fewer than 10 at my point. The team camped out Monday night on the corner of Fresno’s busiest intersection. “Myself and 10 other individuals, along with one of our fantastic cadre members, set up camp on Blackstone and Herndon so we could take that spot and stay there throughout the duration of the entire Kids Day,” Cadet Shaun Koerner said. The night’s chilling 40 degree temperatures had no effect on the team’s excitement, “I had an overabundance of people who wanted to spend the night,” Koerner said. “We have a very motivated team.” Singh credited a majority of last year’s sales to their unique strategies that grabbed drivers’ attentions. In comparison to the competition, the cadets physically worked for their sales putting their Army training to good use to increase donations. “Last year one of the tactics we used was we did push ups for newspapers. So we had cadets doing things like five pushups for

$1,” Singh said. The cadets also decorated signs and wore their Army ROTC shirts. Although the ROTC strives for first place in anything they attempt, Kids Day is more than just a competition to them. It is an opportunity for them to get involved with the community as they try to do so as often as possible. “They’re becoming future leaders in the military and as a military organization, we try to foster giving back to the community as much as they give to us,” said Master Sgt. Michael Ruggiero. The team’s determination to give back paid off, considering by noon the team had already beat their record with about $5,000 and were still going strong. Throughout the afternoon the team sent cadets to gather the leftover stacks of papers other teams failed to sell at the Joyal building, because they quickly ran low on their own newspaper supplies. There were moments between pickups that left some corners paperless. The cadets remained engaged with drivers, reeling in donations without having papers to give in exchange. The team finished strong raising a total of $7,600, almost twice as much as they

INSECURITY

CSU Chancellor extends research on student food insecurity By Razi Syed @TheCollegian

As an undergraduate student at Fresno State, Alida Espinoza had a secret she didn’t dare tell anyone – she struggled with food shortages. “I wasn’t talking about it to anyone – not my family, not my friends – because there was so much stigma associated with being poor,” said Espinoza, now a faculty member in the public health department. When Espinoza decided to go back for a graduate degree, she chose to research food insecurity. “Now, there was a name to what I experienced,” she said. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines food insecurity as, “limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods or being unable to obtain acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways.” During her research, Espinoza found that one in three Fresno State students met the USDA criteria for food insecurity. Chancellor Timothy White announced on Feb. 26 he would extend ongoing CSU-commissioned research, which found that 100,000 of the university system’s students could be affected

by housing and food insecurity. In fall 2015, the CSU system had around 419,000 full-time and part-time undergraduates. The study, titled “Serving Displaced and Food Insecure Students in the CSU,” was commissioned in February 2015 and began its first phase in April 2015. The study found that 11 campuses had some sort of program for addressing student food insecurity, including Fresno State with its Food Security Project. Today, the multi-initiative project includes the Catered Cupboard, a mobile app letting students know when food is available after a catered event; complimentary meals at the University Dining Hall; and the Student Cupboard, which opened in November 2014 and provides free food and hygiene items. Coordinator Jessica Medina said the Food Security Project grew out of Espinoza’s research. For her thesis, which was presented in May 2013, Espinoza chose to study students because of the lack of serious conversation regarding food security in college populations. “You always hear about college students being broke and hungry and people laugh about it or they have these fond memories of how they would have to be smart with

their money or budget their money,” Espinoza said. “A lot of what I got was a lot of people not thinking about food insecurity being a serious issue on campuses.” “We think of college as being a place of privilege,” Espinoza said. “We think of college students as

maybe having maybe a lot of financial support through family or scholarships or financial aid of some sort.” The CSU-commissioned study found that an estimated 21 to 24 percent of the school system’s students are food insecure.

PARKS

Students work to create sustainable parks @TheCollegian

A total of 19 courses are being offered this year at Fresno State as part of the Sustainable Parks and Recreation Community Initiative program (SPARCI), which is being led by the department of recreation administration. Sam Lankford, chair of the department, said he hopes the program provides students with a connection with the community so they can better appreciate some of the issues that need to be solved in a community and to create a partnership with civil leaders to help solve problems in Fresno. “I think it is a great way for us to get involved with the community and to bring the resources of Fresno State to a place that actually needs some help,” said Lankford, the faculty coordinator for the program. “This year’s project is for the City of Fresno parks, so all of the classes are focused on some aspect of providing recreation to the park services and to people in Fresno, mostly people in the Southern part of the city.” The 19 courses are not necessarily new, but rather courses that already in exist, which are being taught by professors from a variety of different majors such as psychology, engineering, earth and environmental

sciences and of course, recreation administration. Lankford noted that professors from a number of disciplines all wanted to be involved in the program and have designed class assignments to address the project, which has started this semester. “Some of the classes are farther along than others, but that’s OK because it’s built within the assignment structure of a class,” Lankford said. He said he thought it would be neat to start the program at Fresno State after being inspired by a similar program at the University of Oregon, his alma mater. Upon successful completion of the program, students will be able to list on their resumes that they have completed a “real project” in the community of Fresno and that faculty will hopefully understand that the city’s issues can be used as laboratories for courses, he said. At the same time, students can help solve some of the city’s problems. Jill Lankford, another coordinator, said she believes the program is great and is excited for its future as she has seen positive results of similar programs operating at other universities. “I have worked in higher education with students on similar initiatives and have found students are motivated to help communities in their area of study,” she

said. “Students usually remark how much they have gained from working on projects which address real issues and opportunities, and Fresno can benefit from student research and suggestions. Students and faculty can benefit from addressing real issues and concerns.” She said the one thing she is looking forward to the most is the student, faculty and community interaction throughout the project. “I love to watch suggestions taken as possibility for students and community members and believe there are many alternatives to address concerns people have with regard to parks and recreation in this community, and students have the capacity to raise awareness and initiate change,” she said. She said that even though Fresno is an interesting community and there is great potential to improve the quality of life for all residents through the provision of parks and recreation services, there isn't sufficient support for all such services. “Typically, parks and recreation services are not considered essential,” Jill Lankford said. “I think this is a short-sighted approach. Parks and recreation services are undervalued for the range of services provided, including water quality, air quality, economic impact as well as other social measures. All great cities have a great park and recreation system.” Jenna Chilingerian, program coordinator of the community and regional planning center at Fresno State’s office of community and economic development, said she is excited that a program like SPARCI is now at Fresno State. “It’s good news for students and faculty,

and it is good news for our local agencies,” said Chilingerian, who serves as the assistant coordinator and helps with administrative and logistical support. “For one, I am looking forward to a more connected campus within and throughout the various departments. “I am also looking forward to Fresno State better identifying and communicating its place and university role in the San Joaquin Valley, while receiving positive attention from outside the region and the state,” Chilingerian said. Chilingerian said she hopes students and faculty are able to build collective and individual connections to the Fresno community and beyond so that more students will choose to stay and work in the Valley after graduation. Sam Lankford said that, this year, the program is just focused on the city of Fresno’s parks and recreation and hopes that, in the future, he will be able to expand the program and also include more students from other disciplines. “There’s an idea that we might do something broader where the entire university focuses on an entire city in the future,” he said. “We would go in and look at all aspects of city operations and liability issues and any discipline can participate in it. That would be the goal.” He noted that from 4:30 to 6 p.m. on May 12, there will be a community-engagement event Downtown at Bitwise Industries at Fulton Mall where all 19 classes will be represented with posters of the work they complete for the city. A park summit will be held during the day and a community-engagement event in the evening.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

How far women around the world still have to go By Ann M. Simmons

@ Los Angeles Times/TNS It’s been 107 years since the world began observing International Women’s Day, and yet no country has achieved full gender equality. “It’s very sobering to realize that it’s 2016 and we don’t have that yet,” said Daniela Ligiero, vice president of Girls and Women Strategy at the United Nations Foundation. Of 145 nations, Iceland has come closest in the realms of economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, health and survival, and political empowerment, according to 2015 data from the World Economic Forum. But in Yemen, the country that ranks lowest by the same data, women are considered only half a witness in court cases and are forbidden to leave the house without their husbands’ permission. In Tanzania and Lesotho, women cannot inherit land. All around the world, 1 in 3 women will experience some kind of sexual violence or intimate partner violence in her lifetime, Ligiero said. As several countries around the globe are marking International Women’s Day on Tuesday, here are a few key indicators depicting

the status of women, and some of the challenges that remain. EDUCATION – About twothirds of countries in the developing world have achieved gender equality in primary education, according to U.N. data, but the progress is less substantial at the secondary school level. In Africa and South Asia, boys remain 1.55 times more likely to complete secondary education than girls, according to the World Bank. Even when girls make it into the classroom, they “continue to face particular risk in chaotic conflict settings,” said Nisha Varia, advocacy director for the women’s rights division of Human Rights Watch. In Pakistan, for example, the Taliban frequently attacks educational institutions. In 2012, Pakistani Taliban gunmen shot education activist Malala Yousafzai, who was later awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. In Nigeria, most of the 300 girls kidnapped by extremist militia Boko Haram in 2014 are still missing. EMPLOYMENT – The obstacles to women’s upward mobility do not subside if women manage to attain academic qualifications. “They don’t translate into greater equality in the labor market,” said Sarah Gammage, di-

rector of gender, economic empowerment and livelihoods at the International Center for Research on Women. Women disproportionately bear the responsibility of caring for family members, raising children, and doing household chores, Gammage said – work for which they are not paid. Globally, they perform three times more unpaid work than men, according to the U.N.’s 2015 Human Development Report. The absence of women in the paid labor market is hurting the world economy, development experts say. If women were to play an identical role in labor markets to that of men, as much as $28 trillion, or 26 percent, could be added to global annual GDP by 2025, according to a September 2015 study by McKinsey Global

Institute. LEGAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RESTRICTIONS – Social and cultural norms also continue to stifle women’s progress, and the restrictions can be both dangerous and debilitating. In Saudi Arabia, women are not permitted to drive and cannot open bank accounts without their husbands’ permission. In Iran, a prominent politician recently called for donkeys, monkeys and women to be kept out of parliament. Uganda forbids women to gain permanent custody of children after a divorce. Vatican City remains the only country in the world where women cannot vote. Honor killings, the traditional practice that allows the slaying of a family member who is believed to have brought dishonor on a family, claim thousands of wom-

en’s lives every year in South and Central Asia. Pakistani human rights NGOs estimate that there are about 1,000 honor killings every year, according to Human Rights Watch. Some communities in Ghana practice the tradition of trokosi, where young girls are “gifted” to priests to atone for crimes, typically committed by a male family member, or to show gratitude for a blessing. More than 700 million women alive today were married before their 18th birthdays, according to UNICEF. Of those, about 250 million were wed before age 15. Child brides are common in West and Central Africa and South Asia, Ligiero said. This can lead to girls dropping out of school, experiencing early pregnancy and being at risk of domestic violence.

DATA SAFETY

champ and an FBI target By Sean Cockerham

McClatchy Washington Bureau/ TNS WASHINGTON – The Justice Department’s legal offensive to force Apple to unlock the iPhone of San Bernardino, Calif., shooter Syed Farook can be traced to one reality: Apple simply offers far better encryption capabilities than its smartphone competitors. “If Farook used an Android phone, then it likely would not have disk encryption turned on at all,” said Dan Guido, co-founder of the Trail of Bits information security consultancy. Without such encryption “all of the data from the phone would be immediately accessible without the passcode,” Guido said. The court fight between Apple and the FBI erupted not just because California terrorist Farook happened to use an iPhone, but also because Apple has taken mainstream digital security to an unprecedented level in the past two years. The FBI’s attempt to force Apple to unlock the phone used by Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in the San Bernardino terror attack, has turned Silicon Valley’s push for encryption into a national debate. That debate, in turn, traces its origins to another major controversy – Edward Snowden’s revelations in 2013 that the National Security Agency was collecting information on every cellphone in use in the United States and eavesdropping on Internet communications as well. That made improving encryption – the process by which data are scrambled so they can’t be read without the proper codes – a top priority for Silicon Valley. “Tech companies have become much more sensitive to whether they are perceived as being an advocate and protector of security post-Snowden,” said Christopher Budd, global threat communications manager for security firm Trend Micro. And Apple is winning the smartphone security race, Budd said. “Most security people I know have iPhones rather than Androids,” he said. While there might seem to be a lot of smartphones to choose from, the market fundamentally is Apple versus Google’s Android. Eighty-three percent of smartphone users worldwide that have the Android operating system running are on smartphones that are nearly all made by companies other than Google. Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sony, HTC and Huawei produce a wide range of Android devices that vary in price and quality. An unlocked iPhone 6S starts at $649 while a Motorola Moto G can be had for less than $200. Android controls 51 percent of the U.S. market, where it is often a cheaper alternative to Apple. Forty-four percent of Americans use Apple’s iOS operating system, which runs only on the company’s own devices. Microsoft has 3 percent of the American market share. Blackberry, once the industry standard for digital security, is down to just 1.3 percent of the market. “If you walk into a Best Buy, most of the Android phones on the shelf will not be encrypted by default,” said Chris Soghoian,

principal technologist at the American Civil Liberties Union. “If you walk into the store and come out with an Apple iPhone, the data on it is encrypted by default – with a key that Apple doesn’t have – so Apple is not able to unlock for law enforcement, and a criminal or identity thief who steals your phone isn’t able to get anything off of it.” Text messages between iPhones are also encrypted so Apple can’t access them, Soghoian said. So are video or voice calls made using Apple’s FaceTime function. Apple began encrypting FaceTime and iMessage in 2009. But the big leap came in September of 2014 when Apple announced that its iPhone operating system would have automatic encryption and the company itself could not access the data. Once that happened, the conflict with law enforcement was inevitable. How Apple made the leap is a tribute not just to engineering prowess but to the competition fostered by the very law Congress is now considering changing as a result of the San Bernardino phone. U.S. Rep. Robert Goodlatte, a Virginia Republican, takes credit for the enabling Apple to make those technological advances. “Over 15 years ago, I led congressional efforts to ensure strong encryption technologies and to ensure that the government could not automatically demand a back-door key to encryption technologies,” Goodlatte said. “This enabled the U.S. encryption market to thrive and produce effective encryption technologies for legitimate actors, rather than see the market head completely overseas to companies that do not have to comply with basic protections.” Google quickly followed Apple, saying in 2014 that the newest Android phones would be encrypted by default. The problem is – unlike Apple – Google doesn’t make the chips or the phones and did not have the power to force phone manufacturers to encrypt. That became an issue when it turned out that phones lacking more expensive chips slowed when Android encryption was turned on, said the ACLU’s Soghoian. “The Android market is very competitive,” Soghoian said. “Samsung couldn’t sell a phone that was half as fast as the previous year’s model. No one would buy it.” The result was that most Android phones don’t have automatic encryption. Android users generally have the option to turn on encryption but that doesn’t mean they know how to do so. Google does require encryption by default on high-performing devices such as Samsung’s new Galaxy S7 that use Android’s latest Marshmallow operating system. But just 1.2 percent of Android smartphones on the global market are running on Marshmallow at this point. Google’s own Nexus phones also have automatic encryption. There are social consequences to Android dominating the bargain end of the market, Soghoian said, with minorities and the poor far more likely to have an Android than an iPhone. “Those in our society who are the greatest targets of surveillance by the authorities are using devices that protect them the least,” Soghoian said. “The middle class and the rich already have iPhones.”

NFL

Greg Cote: Peyton Manning’s greatness overwhelms small controversies as he retires

Graphic showing notable NFL records held by Peyton Manning.

Miami Herald/TNS

THIS FRIDAY

MARCH 11 SAVE MART CENTER TICKETS AVAILABLE AT SAVE MART CENTER BOX OFFICE SELECT SAVE MART SUPERMARKETS TICKETMASTE TICKETMASTER.COM

No sports figure of his stature – and there haven't been many – has ever retired quite like Peyton Manning just did: On top, but not entirely. With a perfect ending, but not quite. He goes out a champion, the Broncos' Super Bowl victory parade still echoing in Denver. That alone should be the perfect ending, the perfect timing every athlete wishes when envisioning his or her career's end. You get the sense, though, that the NFL retired Manning more than he retired on his own. He wanted to keep playing, even at age 40, but times had changed. Only four years earlier, Manning was highly sought when he became available as a free agent. At least half a dozen teams including the Dolphins went hard after Manning. Now, only the newly relocated Los Angeles Rams showed any interest at all, and offered Manning no assurances, only the indignity of having to compete for the starting job with lightweight Case Keenum. Dan Marino can relate. He felt like he wasn't done yet when Miami gently nudged him into its past tense at age 38 after the 1999 season. Marino's arm remained strong but his knees were close to shot. The Minnesota Vikings and his hometown Pittsburgh Steelers put out feelers but Miami's No. 13 reluctantly retired instead, convincing himself it was time. Manning, unlike Marino, gets to go out brandishing a second Super Bowl ring, albeit one at the end of an injury-marred season full of interceptions. And yet even that element of his perfect ending is sullied by controversy. His final season was marred by the allegation, reported by Al Jazeera, that Manning had human growth hormone delivered in his wife's name. He has strongly and repeatedly denied the report. More recently a 20-year-old incident while Manning was at the University of Tennessee has resurfaced, unearthed in the media – fresh enough fodder that he was called upon to answer for it at his retirement news conference Monday in Denver. “I did not do what has been alleged,” he said. “And I'm not interested in re-litigating something that happened when I was 19 years old.” Manning admitted he "mooned" another male athlete for laughs in the athletic facility while in the company of a female athletic trainer, who filed a complaint and claimed Manning's buttocks and genitals had made contact with her face. Monday

was the first time Manning specifically has denied that happened. It made you feel sad he even had to, two decades later, on this day. The NFL continues to investigate the HGH report. The training-room incident never was investigated by police and the university long ago reached a financial settlement with the trainer. Neither allegation nor the two combined should amount to more than grains of sand on the beachhead of his monumental career. And I don't just mean the two championships and the all-time NFL records for most touchdown passes and most passing yards. I mean the comportment, the class, the humor, his being a wonderful teammate and in many ways the face of the NFL. Even if the two allegations are true, that he dabbled in HGH to help get his health back, or that he did something stupid he regrets at age 19, I don't think either rises to a level of permanent scandal that would override the good or weigh more than an obligatory mention in the assessing of his legacy. He does not leave the game, en route to a certain role in broadcasting or as a football executive, as a perfect human being unflawed. He does leave the game as arguably the greatest quarterback ever to play it, and with the overriding reputation as a good guy. Well beyond Indianapolis and Denver, the popular Manning was an integral, intense yet affable part of America's NFL fixation for 18 seasons, and we'll miss him. It'll be awhile before I see any quarterback crouch at the line of scrimmage without imagining Manning yelling, “Omaha!” For me the only greater QB, and he's still going strong, is Tom Brady. I have not forgotten Marino, Brett Favre, Joe Montana, Drew Brees or what Aaron Rodgers may yet become. I have not discounted earlier greats from Otto Graham to Johnny Unitas to John Elway. Of them all only the whole of Brady's resume might be bigger than Manning's. Their rivalry was epic, too, and the NFL is poorer for the end of it. “I'll miss that handshake with Tom Brady,” Manning said eloquently on Monday. Brady in turn said of Manning, to Peter King's Monday Morning Quarterback website: “Who has lived up to expectations year after year after year as well as Peyton? He's done it so gracefully, so admirably. He set the standard for how to play the quarterback position.” We'll leave it at that, because who would know better than Brady?

‘Dogs control second half to pull away from Furman

By Daniel Leon | @DanLeon1994 After a slow first half, Fresno State (3-3) came alive in the second half of Monday’s 7-4 win over Furman to get back to .500. Tied 2-2 at intermission, the Bulldogs stormed out of the half and got ahead behind efficient play from both sides of the ball to outscore the Paladins 5-2 in the second period. “It was a great win,” Fresno State head coach Jessica Giglio said. “Last year, [Furman] beat us 16-4 on their home turf and it’s something that has been on our minds. We really wanted to come out and prove that we can hang with them and that we should be winning. We have put so much work into this season, so it was great to get that win.” Giglio delivered a message during the intermission that lit a fire under her team, and it showed in the second half. “I told them at halftime: ‘the team that has the most heart is going to win this game,’ because it was a very dead-even game” Giglio said. “I felt like we really responded right away with two goals and it’s a possession game so we wanted to hold the ball until we got perfect shots and perfect opportunities. Our defense also had some huge momentum stops for us.” The ‘Dogs spread the ball around on offense with five different players recording a goal. Underclassmen Sarah Bloise and Abigail Bergevin led the Bulldog attack with a pair of goals each. Bloise, who scored the Bulldogs’ first two goals of the match, continues to make an impact early in her collegiate career as last week she was named Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Women’s Lacrosse Rookie of the Week. “I thought Sarah really stepped up today,” Giglio said. “I think she’s becoming a strong presence on attack. She had two goals for us and got a draw [control] for us at the end, which was really important. So I think she stepped up and Nicole Ortlieb, who before the game was leading the conference in goals, put two in the back of the net and Abby Bergevin’s last goal that kind of sealed the win for us was an amazing take. We worked really well as a team today on attack, which was what we stressed all week.” The Bulldogs carry a bit of momentum heading into a pair of tough road tests this weekend when they travel to Oregon to battle George Mason on Friday and the host Ducks on Sunday.
