SIU football released senior defensive end Adam Brandt and suspended freshman running back Daquan Isom indefinitely Monday morning. Isom was issued a notice to appear by police for possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana on Oct. 25, according to the Department of Public Safety 60-Day crime log. The incident was reported by police at 1:29 a.m. in the

parking lot adjacent to the west side of the Towers. Isom leads the team with 1,149 all-purpose yards this season. He is second on the team with 403 net rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns and three receiving touchdowns. He is third on the team with 340 receiving yards. In Monday’s press conference, coach Dale Lennon said Isom failed to report the situation. Lennon said he needs to be the first person told in

situations like these. “Unfortunately, this situation is something that warrants public attention,” he said. “Daquan needs to learn a lesson.” Lennon said Isom will practice with the scout team during his suspension. “I wasn’t [notified] and that doesn’t sit well,” he said. “There’s a chance he may not see the field this year. That can’t happen. … For me to find out by seeing it in a newspaper, not good.”

Free Again Wildlife Rehabilitation ANNA SPOERRE | @ASpoerre_DE

Raccoon are fun, squirrels are rewarding and possums are misunderstood, according to Beverly Shofstall, who spends her time nurturing and raising wild animals. Shofstall started Free Again Wildlife Rehabilitation 25 years ago and continues to manage the not-forprofit operation located in Carterville, the only all-species rehabilitation center in southern Illinois. Free Again rehabilitates injured and orphaned animals so they can return to the wild. It also provides wildlife education programs in the community where it is able to show the animals to people up close. Visitors will find themselves surrounded by dozens of wooden and wired cages filled with everything from raccoons to turtles to hawks. Most of the animals are located in outdoor cages, and the rest stay in a barn located on the property. The five most common animals for them to house are squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, possums and deer. “They are the animals people have the most interactions with,” Shofstall said. “People often see these animals in their own backyard.” “Beyond that, you never know what we’re going to get,” Shofstall said. She has also taken care of wildlife including coyotes, foxes, groundhogs, bobcats, otters, beavers, songbirds, and birds of prey, including two permanent bald eagles that were injured past the point of recovering fully enough to be released into the wild. She is working to release the healthy baby animals that were dropped off in the spring — the most common time for newborn animals to be abandoned by their parents. After spending the past six months preparing the animals to be re-introduced into the wild, Shofstall said she usually releases animals twice a week in the fall. However, fall is not the busiest season for Free Again, which houses as many as 300 animals in the spring. Right now they are caring for about 150, Shofstall said. “We don’t have a team of rescuers like you see on the Animal Planet shows,” Shofstall said. She said the first responder is the person who finds the injured or abandoned animal and either brings

it to Free Again or notifies her of the problem. Shofstall said rescuers can call Free Again at 618-988-1067 for more instructions on how to care for the animal and transport it to the rehabilitation center. Shofstall, who has a degree in animal health technology, has held a wildlife rehabilitation permit for 30 years. In addition to the state permit that allows her to handle mammals and reptiles, she also has an educational permanent possession permit from the federal government, which allows her to have song birds and birds of prey. This allows her to use the birds of prey she is caring for to teach groups about wildlife. She has about 10 birds she uses for educational programs at schools and venues like the Science Center and the Crab Orchard Wildlife refuge. The operation does not receive funding from the government, so everyone involved with the organization is a volunteer, including Shofstall. “We survive heavily on donations,” Shofstall said. Volunteers donate supplies, time and money. “The majority of our income comes from people with $25 donations,” Shofstall said. The other funding comes from fees she charges at her bird of prey programs. She said total annual expenditures are about $33,000. Shofstall said she consistently has 15 to 20 volunteers every week to help with animal care, cage building, animal releases and cleaning. About half of the

volunteers are university students. “It’s a seven-day operation,” Shofstall said. She said she often works 18 hours in a day. “We do need volunteers to span a great deal of time,” Shofstall said. “When you put it in that perspective, those 15 are not very many.” The sophomores of SIU’s First Scholar Program, a program built to help a select group of firstgeneration students thrive on campus, chose to volunteer for Free Again as their semester project. Cristina Castillo, coordinator of the First Scholars Program, said her students chose it because of the lack of funding and volunteers. The students are rebuilding a fox enclosure, planting flower beds, cleaning cages and installing storage sheds. The students are also using fundraisers such as bake sales and supply drives to help the center get more resources. Their first fundraiser was at Vulture Fest, a music festival in Makanda, where they raised $75 in donations. Next weekend they are helping release a red-tailed hawk, owl and about 15 squirrels, now that the animals have proven they are able to survive and feed on their own after undergoing live training with prey such as mice. “We’re asking the community to come and join this effort of students to really make a difference in that place,” Castillo said. “It really is a wonderful program.”

Savannah McCord named Lincoln Academy student laureate BILL LUKITSCH | @BILL_LUKITSCHDE

Savannah McCord, a senior from St. Louis, knew she was nominated as SIU’s 2015 Lincoln Academy student laureate before the expected announcement on Oct. 23. But on that day, after a week of nervous anticipation, she was ready to accept any outcome, so long as it came soon. Every year the Lincoln Academy honors one student from each of Illinois’ universities and community colleges for outstanding academic excellence and leadership with the prestigious Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award. For McCord, it was an honor just to be nominated. “That whole week I was like, ‘When am I going to find out?’” she said. McCord was sitting next to her best friend Deanna Price in Lawson Hall after class when she received an e-mail from the office of Interim Chancellor Brad Colwell. She read all the way up to the word “congratulations” before she started crying. “I didn’t know whether to go run five miles out of excitement, or stop

and call everybody,” McCord said, cheerfully recalling the memory. McCord did not go out and run five miles. Instead, she bought thank-you notes for all of the people she said helped her along the way, many of them being mentors and professors who had been strong, professional role models for the 21-year-old scholar. McCord will be presented with an official medallion, receive a $1,000 grant and meet Gov. Bruce Rauner in the Hall of Representatives during the Student Laureate Convocation at the Old State Capitol in Springfield on Nov. 7. As she nears the end of her time at the university, McCord said she feels grateful for the chance to make a difference at the university, and sees the award as an acknowledgement of her contribution. “I felt like [receiving the award] took everything that I had done here and brought it to life,” McCord said. A dual degree-seeking student in psychology and business, McCord has received honors from both the College of Business and the College of Liberal Arts, participated in

undergraduate research projects and worked as a resident assistant at Neely Hall and the Wall & Grand Apartments, among a plethora of other achievements. She even got her first and last ‘B’ here — the only tarnish on her 3.97 grade point average — courtesy of her Computer Information Systems class. McCord chalks it up to being “technologically challenged.” But she’s best known as a feature twirler for the Marching Salukis, and attributes much of her success to the lessons she has learned from it. McCord was just 5 years old when she picked up her first baton. What began as childhood curiosity became an obsession, and she’s been doing it for the last 16 years. “It’s always been a reminder to me to put my 100 percent effort into everything; put my heart and soul into everything that I do, and I’ve done that since I was little,” McCord said. And the graceful juggling act she performs on Saturdays when the Dawgs play serves as a metaphor for the way she continues to live her life. “The more I try to fight my batons

the worse I end up twirling, but the more I just kind of ‘roll with it’ — literally — it serves me a lot better,” McCord said. She is scheduled to graduate with honors in May and plans to head back to St. Louis when she’s done. McCord is not entirely sure what

she will do after graduation. There was talk of grad school. Something with human resources law, maybe. But no matter what she ends up doing for a living, McCord said she wants to continue to work toward helping others in her community. “Anything is possible,” she said.

University funding looms as pressure point in state budget standoff MONIQUE GARCIA | CHICAGO TRIBUNE

For Illinois’ universities nearing the end of the fall semester without money from the state, it’s a tale of the haves and have-nots. Larger schools with vast alumni networks and healthy foundations such as the University of Illinois and Illinois State University have been able to weather the budget battle between Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats who control the legislature with minimal disruption. Positions go unfilled, technology isn’t upgraded and construction projects are pushed back. At smaller schools where enrollment has declined in recent years or fundraising is more difficult, the pain has been more pronounced. There have been layoffs and furloughs. Money for athletics has been cut. Degree programs face consolidation. And cash reserves have been raided. Of particular concern is whether schools can continue to absorb the cost of scholarships for low-income students that the state usually covers. At Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, President David Glassman recently told lawmakers that without a cash infusion from the state, the school may have to shut down during the spring semester. The pressure also is on at Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, where Chief Financial Officer Alan Phillips says it will be “very difficult” to make it through a full year without state money. Already, six universities had their bond rating downgraded last week by Moody’s Investors Service because of the state stalemate. Lowered by two notches were EIU, Governors State and Western Illinois; NIU, Northeastern Illinois and Southern Illinois were lowered by one. Ratings for the U. of I. and ISU were not changed, but Moody’s gave them a negative outlook, meaning they could be dropped because of the delay in state funding. Lower credit ratings mean it will cost universities more if they decide to borrow money during the impasse.

“There are definitely people feeling pain, moms can’t get child care, social service groups are laying people off. But if this extends to universities and community colleges, and classes start getting canceled and students are told their financial aid money is no longer there, the problem gets a lot less theoretical and a lot more real. It’s my hope that kind of pressure forces a deal. A crisis is something we need to force action.” - Bill Cunningham Illinois state senator

Given that thousands of Illinois parents have children at state universities, some of the more optimistic lawmakers at the Capitol are hoping the situation will prove to be a new pressure point to get a fix done by year’s end. The closure of college campuses this spring could send shock waves through higher education in Illinois for years to come. “In large part, this has been a theoretical budget crisis,” said Sen. Bill Cunningham, D-Chicago, who sits on the Senate Higher Education Committee. “There are definitely people feeling pain, moms can’t get child care, social service groups are laying people off. But if this extends to universities and community colleges, and classes start getting canceled and students are told their financial aid money is no longer there, the problem gets a lot less theoretical and a lot more real. It’s my hope that kind of pressure forces a deal. A crisis is something we need to force action.” But in a delicate balancing act, many schools have been doing their best to present the situation not as a crisis but rather a bump in the usually bumpy road of Illinois

budgeting. The reason is one of practicality: Now is when schools are recruiting new students. Broadcasting the possibility that classes might stop and programs are being cut hardly inspires confidence in students and parents to sign up for the fall 2016 semester. “At some point in time we believe there will be a budget, and hopefully we can get through 2016,” said Phillips, the CFO and vice president of administration and finance at NIU. “Until then, we plan to continue our operations and our recruiting, but the problem is you get to a point where you indicate you might not be in operation or make it until the end of [next] September, and then the problem is that you aren’t going to get any students. And once you lose your students, they won’t be coming back.” With most areas of state spending dictated by court order or laws prioritizing debt and pension payments, so far there’s little incentive for either Rauner or Democrats to cave. Indeed, both sides continue the blame game. Rauner points the finger at Democrats who won’t go along with his pro-business, union-

weakening agenda, saying they are standing in the way of a budget agreement. He has called the possibility that colleges may close “outrageous.” But speaking generally about the impasse, the governor said he’s not willing to give up on his legislative wish list because he is trying to bring about permanent change that he argues will put the state’s economy on a stronger footing. “We’re going through some change, change is difficult, change causes pain,” Rauner said after a recent breakfast stop at a Springfield diner. “We believe very strongly that we’re going to go through some short-term pain for some very long-term gain.” Democrats contend the budget shouldn’t be used as a political football, saying what Rauner views as short-term pain could lead to irreversible damage. “There are two competing views on how to make Illinois strong again,” said Sen. Pat McGuire, a Joliet Democrat and chairman of the Senate higher education panel, which has held hearings across the state on how the lack of a budget will impact schools. “The governor’s view is to kill unions. The other view is to invest in its people, in this case, men and women who want to do more in their lives and for the state by getting certificates and degrees,” McGuire said. Universities and colleges have been running without state assistance since July 1 after Rauner vetoed the majority of the out-ofwhack budget Democratic lawmakers sent him. While Rauner did free up money for elementary and high schools, his veto struck down the roughly $1.9 billion in operating funding legislators had set aside for higher education. Rauner’s budget moves were designed to prevent a major public relations problem by keeping grade schools open while at the same time cranking up the pressure on Democrats to cave in to keep money flowing in other areas. That hasn’t happened so far, and there has yet to be a fix for higher education.

Doyle McManus: Campaign 2016’s quixotic quest for ‘authenticity’ DOYLE MCMANUS | LOS ANGELES TIMES

Joe Biden has it, and so does Bernie Sanders. Donald Trump and Ben Carson have it too — at least, they seem to. But Hillary Rodham Clinton strains to achieve it. And Jeb Bush? He doesn’t seem to want to try. The elusive quality is authenticity, and it’s become a preoccupation of the 2016 presidential campaign. Can candidates convince voters — amid all the noise and artifice of politics — that they are real people underneath, with character and convictions? “Will you say anything to get elected?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Clinton at the first Democratic debate. But voters surely have the same question about Bush, and Marco Rubio, and everyone else who counts as a traditional politician. When voters say they want authenticity, they often mean

EDITORIAL CARTOON

honesty and trustworthiness, for starters. We also want “straight talk,” something Trump, Carson and Sanders all provide. We want candidates to open up and show some emotion, not just talking points written by campaign strategists. What we want, in short, is a glimpse into a candidate’s soul. Because that’s not exactly easy to achieve — even in a campaign that lasts almost two years — we ask our candidates to jump through hoops. We demand a look at their families. We even expect them to appear on television and tell jokes, or sing or even (in the case of Sanders) dance with Ellen DeGeneres, to prove that they can be good sports amid indignity. If a politician is willing to embarrass himself publicly, we seem to believe, he’s probably not a robot. Here’s the thing: The variety show routine isn’t a reliable test of the qualities we’re looking for.

“Often, what people respond to is how comfortable [the candidates] seem to be,” Deborah Tannen, a Georgetown University linguist, told me last week. “But that often has nothing to do with honesty. If someone sounds stiff, or pauses to choose the right words, we sometimes think they must be cooking up a line. But they might just be inarticulate, or introverted, or worried about saying something the wrong way.” Put otherwise: Some candidates may be authentically robotic. She cited an old joke from theater and broadcasting: “The key to success is sincerity. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.” Moreover, Tannen warned, the mania for authenticity may disadvantage women. “Women are expected to talk in ways that are incompatible with the ways we think a leader sounds,” she said. “But if we think of displays of emotion as evidence

of authenticity, they can easily be seen as too emotional. That’s a huge double bind.” Most important, authenticity — that is, the appearance of authenticity, since we can rarely be sure that what looks authentic is real — probably isn’t the right trait to value above all others. “What does this have to do with whether a person can make good decisions?” Tannen asked. Take the two most successful presidents of the last half-century, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton. Both were accused by their opponents of being inauthentic. Critics loved to point out that Reagan was a professional actor; Clinton’s enemies called him “Slick Willie.” George W. Bush, on the other hand, won two elections partly because he excelled at authenticity; he was the candidate, famously, whom voters wanted to have a beer with. But that didn’t make

his presidency a success. Likewise, Trump, Carson and Sanders have won high marks from voters for being blunt and plain-spoken, but that’s not a reliable guide to whether they would be good at the job. It’s only a starting point. As Ted Cruz said at last week’s debate, noting the widespread view that he’s not the most likable of the GOP candidates: “If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be your guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I will get the job done.” It’s sensible to scrutinize the candidates’ honesty and credibility, from Clinton’s shifting statements about emails to Trump’s indignant denials of things he said only a few weeks ago. But it’s time to stop chasing the elusive notion of authenticity. We don’t really know how to measure it. And even if we did, it’s the wrong measurement to use.

‘The Last Witch Hunter’ slays its good qualities JACOB PIERCE | @JACOBPIERCE1_DE

A Vin Diesel movie is bound to fail if no one is being fast or furious and this film is no exception. “The Last Witch Hunter,” directed by Breck Eisner and starring Diesel and Rose Leslie, comes off as the worst Dungeons and Dragons game put to film. Kaulder, an immortal witch hunter, is the main weapon of an ancient religious faction. A friend of his is killed and it all leads to an enemy from the slayer’s past.

Fantasy can be a hard genre for successful content. Before the days of the Lord of the Ring and Harry Potter, fans had to settle for mediocre films like “Krull” and “Ladyhawke.” “The Last Witch Hunter” plays out like the lackluster latter. The movie wants too much to be a franchise. Newer blockbusters fail to capture the critical success Harry Potter or even Marvel has with connected universes. This has caused many films to worry more about the future than the present. Many plot lines are brought up in this film and dropped seconds later. Bigger and better villains are shown, just

Multimedia To see a video report visit: www.dailyegyptian.com A ‘Spotlight’ on the actors and the Boston journalists they portrayed GLENN WHIPP | LOS ANGELES TIMES

The closing credits scroll had ended, the lights were up at Toronto’s Princess of Wales Theatre, and “Spotlight” co-writer and director Tom McCarthy was introducing the actors — Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton and Rachel McAdams, among them — who brought to life the movie’s story of the Boston Globe’s painstaking investigation into a pedophilia scandal within the Catholic Church. The audience cheered and then rose to its feet when McCarthy brought the real-life journalists on stage, leading to a moment that the filmmaker described later as gratifying but a bit awkward. “They didn’t know what to do,” McCarthy said of the reporters so used to working behind the scenes. “If they could have pressed a button and dropped through a trap door on stage, they would have done it.” McCarthy and “Spotlight” co-writer Josh Singer spent 2+ years crafting a film that details the Globe’s reporting, beginning in 2001, that proved Boston archdiocese leaders knew there was widespread sexual abuse among its priests but did little or nothing about it. The finished movie, which opens in limited release Nov. 6, plays as a detective story that also explores the question of why people look the other way when “good” institutions do terrible things. McCarthy and Singer each grew up avid sports fans and, as they wrote “Spotlight,” they started to think about how the reporting team mirrored championship sports squads. Every member had a specific role, understood their function and performed it at a peak level. And once McCarthy cast the film, the actors followed suit. “We had the right kind of group,” McCarthy says, “the kind of actors who would want to do this kind of ensemble material. It’s not for everybody. Some actors want to be out front. Keaton, McAdams, Ruffalo have worked long enough to be out front in every movie they do now. They deserve it. But this gave them something else, the chance to be part of a group dynamic and feed off each other.” Keeping with the sports metaphor — Singer, for one, can name every member of the Philadelphia 76ers team that beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1983 NBA Finals — the filmmakers assessed the four members of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Spotlight reporting

team and the actors who played them. The coming months will decide if the film earns the equivalent of the Sixers’ championship ring. Michael Rezendes / Mark Ruffalo The lead writer and reporter on the Spotlight team’s investigation on the church’s sexual abuse cover-up. “Work is his life,” Singer says. Ruffalo plays him in the movie. “Mike’s a long-distance runner, and I think that tells you everything you need to know about him,” McCarthy says, noting that he made a point of inserting a scene of Ruffalo running along the Charles River in the movie. “That’s Mike. He’s relentless. And he loves journalism the way certain directors live for cinema. He loves the aura of it, the history of it. He wanted to work at the Globe for a long time before he got there, and when he made it, he was hungry to make his mark. It’s like a low-round draft choice making the NFL. They play with a chip on their shoulder. Those are the guys you want on your team.” Ruffalo was the first cast member signed. The 47-year-old actor shuttles between Marvel movies (he plays the Hulk) and indie films (he earned an Oscar nomination for “Foxcatcher” last year) and is an outspoken political activist. “Mark’s energy and approach to life is very different than Mike’s,” McCarthy says. “Mark is relaxed, while Mike’s very tense. So Mark would carry that tension in his body. You could see him tighten up when he would get to set and then shake it off at the end of the day. It was exhausting, just watching it.” Sacha Pfeiffer / Rachel McAdams A reporter revered for her intellect, empathy and ability to get subjects talking because of her insatiable curiosity. Editing the movie, McCarthy discovered that the actress he hired to play her, McAdams, possessed the same gifts — acting, listening and acute observation. “There are two jobs where being a great listener really helps: acting and journalism,” McCarthy says. “And I do think that’s more than just being present. It’s listening for what someone’s really saying, both on the surface and below. Sacha presents that curiosity in such a pleasant way, it’s almost easy to miss. And Rachel did a great job of capturing that. It never feels antagonistic, but it’s impossible to avoid. She’s just going to keep coming. She got the victims to tell their stories with specifics that were crucial to the investigation.”

so the audience knows ideas are coming, instead of actually being in this current film, making villains and story points alike feel uneventful and boring. Diesel also leads the entire movie to boredom. His acting is not terrible by any means, but the actor cannot let his character suffer from being weak or even flawed. As an immortal, Kaulder is always the toughest guy in the room and never struggles or gets hurt. Even when viewers are supposed to be impressed by the villain’s power, she never appears bigger than the hunter, which makes him flavorless and uninteresting. Yet, “The Last Witch Hunter” does succeeds in having interesting concepts. An immortal witch hunter with a troubled past and a religious faction hiding a dark secret are two great ideas that are only barely expounded on. In the right hands, this could be a fantastic TV show that would go for six seasons and a movie off of it. Unfortunately, this movie is in the worst hands imaginable.

‘Evil Dead’ back from the ‘Ash-es’ RICK BENTLEY | THE FRESNO BEE

Fans would not let “The Evil Dead” die. It’s been almost a quarter of a century since Bruce Campbell strapped a chainsaw to his right arm, loaded a shotgun in the holster on his back and delivered quips while battling the living dead in “Army of Darkness,” the third in “The Evil Dead” trilogy. Since then Campbell has starred in numerous TV shows and feature films. It hasn’t mattered. Fans always ask him about the possibility of bringing his killer character Ash back in another “The Evil Dead” or “Army of Darkness” movie. There’s no new movie, but there is the 10-part series “Ash vs Evil Dead” on Starz, appropriately starting Halloween night. The production reunites Campbell with Sam Raimi, the director/writer who brought the “The Evil Dead” series to life. “The fans have driven all this. The fans are responsible for every single bit of this. They’ve been relentless for years. The last Evil Dead movie was 24 years ago, 1991. We shot ‘Army of Darkness.’ They haven’t shut up since. So no matter what we say to them or what we give them, it will never be enough, and we’re very grateful for that,” Campbell says. Campbell and Raimi had no idea “The Evil Dead” would become such a cult phenomenon. All they wanted to do in 1979 was a make a movie that was good enough to play for two weeks in drive-in theaters. Instead, the films have been popular for decades. And they remain popular because new generations are finding them. Raimi’s seen how parents have introduced their children to the movies. He’s not so sure if it’s bad parenting or not, but he loves the results. And now, there is a new series. Campbell wants to pay back the loyalty with a show he promises will be different. “I’m very glad we can bring this series to people. Because, good or bad, you’re not going to see anything like this. This is not a cop show, a doctor show, a lawyer show. Those shows make me want to hang myself as the viewer,” Campbell says. “I want to see something that’s

crazy, that’s ridiculous, that’s outrageous. These are the creative arts.” The series picks up with Ash living the good life in a small community. That changes when during a drunken effort to impress a woman, he reads an incantation from the Necronomicon. Once the deadites know his location, Ash has to fight to stay alive and send the creatures back to their dark netherworld. There was a lot of pressure on Campbell and Raimi to make sure the series fulfilled fans’ expectations. One important element was to do the TV series on a channel where there would be no restrictions. Two of the “Evil Dead” movies were released without a rating. They didn’t want the series to be watered down and Starz gave them that opportunity. “It was very important we found a network that was willing to go to the limit, really let us go anywhere we wanted with the humor, anywhere, outrageous horror, crazy amounts of gore, which is some of the hallmarks of the ‘Evil Dead’ films, because we had an obligation to the fans,” Raimi says. “And fortunately, Starz really wants things that the audience can’t get on regular television or regular cable. It’s very unique. And so this happened to be a very good marriage between the two of us.” Joining in the efforts is Lucy Lawless, who plays a woman who has been tracking Ash for 30 years because she’s convinced he caused the supernatural massacre of her family. The series reunites Lawless and Campbell, who played Autolycus on the series “Xena: Warrior Princess.” As soon as the series became a reality, the first question Campbell asked was what role Lawless would have. Lawless gave Raimi a key character he needed. “And we needed a powerful adversary for Ash. Somebody that could be formidable and you’d think could kick his butt,” Raimi says. “Because he’s the real monster fighter. He’s dealing with these beasts every day, slicing ‘em and dicing ‘em. And so we needed a human being that had some heart and soul and some gravitas and some threat to them when she wanted to pull it out. I think that’s why Lucy was a great choice.”

SIU volleyball beats conference leader EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

The SIU volleyball team (19-7, 10-3) beat Wichita State (19-7, 10-2) on Monday in five sets (28-26, 26-28, 25-20, 22-25, 15-10). The match, which was SIU’s fifth straight win, had two sets go to extra points, 48 ties and 24 lead changes. Coming into Monday’s match, the Missouri Valley Conference leading Shockers had won eight straight matches. Sophomore outside hitter Andrea Estrada returned from her two-match suspension for violating team rules. She had a matchleading 20 kills on 50 attempts. She recorded six errors. “I’m glad to be back and support my teammates,” Estrada said. “It was the small details that won us the game.” This was the first match since Sept. 12 with all six starters playing. Four Saluki players hit for more than 10 kills. Sophomore outside hitter Abby Barrow had 15, sophomore outside hitter Nellie Fredriksson had 11 and senior middle hitter Taylor Pippen had 10. The four players combined for 16 total blocks. This was Fredriksson’s third straight match with 10 or more kills. Pippen was the Salukis most efficient hitter with an attack efficiency of .455. “It was a long game,” Pippen said. “We’re confident, we know we can beat every team in this league.” Wichita State committed 14 service errors in the match. Coach Justin Ingram said not to expect the Shockers to have as many in the next meeting between the

Injuries pile up for Saluki football SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

The injury bug has not been kind to SIU football this year and two more players will miss time Saturday. Coach Dale Lennon said at his weekly press conference Monday senior center Garrett Clark will miss Saturday’s game at South Dakota with a knee sprain. Junior guard Jake Notario will also miss the game with injuries caused by a dislocated kneecap. Lennon said Notario had similar issues in the past. Lennon said the injuries are not season-ending. However, junior cornerback Tareq Abulebbeh’s hip pointer is season-ending. He is the fourth Saluki to sustain a season-ending injury this year. Senior quarterback Matt McIntosh’s foot injury is improving, Lennon said. McIntosh was played one play in the most recent game against North Dakota State, but handed the ball off. The Salukis play South Dakota at 1 p.m. Saturday at the DakotaDome in Vermilion, S.D.

two teams. Ingram said the crowd of 545 fans might have had something to do with the errors. In the crowd was the SIU swimming and diving teams who performed their annual Saluki Strip, where they remove one article

of clothing per SIU point scored until they are down to just their suits, according to junior men’s swimmer, Andy Ross. SIU is in second place in the conference, with one more loss than WSU. The Salukis have five more matches this season,

including one at Wichita, who has six more. “As you move forward all you can do is look at the match ahead of you,” Ingram said. The Salukis play Evansville at 7 p.m. Saturday at Davies Gym.

VanHyfte emerging in frontcourt TED WARD | @TedWard_DE

In the wake of senior forwards missing time early in the season, sophomore forward Celina VanHyfte could receive more playing time in the early games of the season. Senior forward/ center Dyana Pierre is suspended indefinitely for violating team rules and Azia Washington is rehabbing an offseason knee surgery. Both missed the first exhibition game of the season Friday. VanHyfte finished with nine rebounds and shot 60 percent from the floor in 24 minutes against Maryville in place of the seniors. Coach Cindy Stein said VanHyfte needs to improve on her mental lapses to have more playing time this season. “Right now she has a tough time stopping Dyana in practice,” she said. “But she is very persistent and a hard worker, so the day Celina finally does stop her, I’ll be very happy.” Stein complimented VanHyfte at the women’s basketball media day on Oct. 20. She said on some days the sophomore could

be one of the best players in the conference. “She just has a feel for the game where she rebounds and shoots

the ball really well and has a better sense of what we as coaches want,” Stein said. “She’s more vocal in practice talking to her teammates

and helping players out.” VanHyfte said she values her coach’s compliment. “When you get comments like that from someone such as herself, it definitely means a lot ... knowing she has that confidence in you as a player and wants you to succeed,” she said. Associate head coach Andrea Gorski said Stein’s assessment is accurate, noting VanHyfte’s athleticism, quick feet and feel for the post position. The sophomore averaged 1.7 points a game and one rebound in 23 games last year as a freshman. She did not start in any of those games and was primarily used as a role player to relieve Pierre and Washington. VanHyfte said there are still improvements to make. “My ball handling skills are not quite where I’d like them because I didn’t have to worry about that part of my game as much in high school,” she said. “But it is something I’m working on every day in practice.” The Salukis play Kentucky Wesleyan at 2 p.m. Saturday at SIU Arena.
