Hearing the music

VOL. 100 ISSUE 32

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Albert Charles, a senior studying television production and marketing from Chicago, plays the Baldwin Piano on Wednesday on the second floor of the Student Center. Charles grew up around a lot of music. He said he was drawn to music and taught himself how to play. “When I was young, I just would hear it,” Charles said. Eventually, he wants to own his own production company and, on the side, help find young musical talent and help them go to the next level in their careers.

Bidding the Blue Barracks goodbye ANNA SPOERRE | @annaspoerre

Years after being installed as temporary structures, the long, blue, metal buildings with purple doors tucked between East Campus, Charlotte West Stadium and Route 51 have reached the end of their career. Phil Gatton, director of physical plant, said, in the spring, the university plans to demolish the Blue Barracks, which used to house the School of Art and Design and Architecture classes. The Blue Barracks were constructed in 1973 with intentions of temporarily accommodating for a loss of space after Old Main burned down in 1969, said Gatton. “Here we are, forty years later,” he said. Gatton said the amount of money put into maintaining the temporary buildings was much greater than their value. “It was embarrassing for the university as a recruiting tool,” he said. Joseph Mckinney, a senior from Union, Mo., studying architectural studies, said he never liked the barracks, which were used this semester as a place for architecture and design students to build projects. Mckinney, who is a woodshop attendant, said he spends time in the barracks every day, where he cleans the shop and helps students use different machines.

Holiday Wagner | @HolidayWagnerDE The Blue Barracks, which were built in 1973, have reached the end of their use and are scheduled to be demolished next spring. The buildings were originally supposed to be temporary structures after Old Main was destroyed by a fire, but have been in used for more than 40 years. This week machinery from the barracks was relocated to Quigley Hall, where students will continue their studies.

The barracks, which do not have Wi-Fi, are cold in the winter and hot in the summer because the heating and air conditioning unit does not work, Mckinney said. Walter Wendler, director of the School of Architecture, said the woodshop and freshman design studies and digital fabrication labs, the last programs to be housed in the barracks, are in the process of moving to Quigley Hall’s basement. This was the first semester no classes were held in the barracks, which Wendler called “old and dilapidated.” The School of Art and Design was

@DAILYEGYPTIAN

also housed in the barracks until it moved to the renovated pool area of Pulliam Hall last year. This week, the university is in the process of moving the machinery from the barracks into Quigley’s refurbished basement. Gatton said the University spent about $9 million on renovations to Pullium, and about $1 million on Quigley. He said the final phase, demolishing the barracks, will cost about $400,000. However, Wendler said he does not believe the facilities had much of a negative effect on the program.

“We have very strong faculty teaching the first year of design,” Wendler said. “In spite of the facilities we were in over at the Blue Barracks, we still offered a very fine learning experience for students.” Wendler said the new space is a grand improvement. Kay Zivkovich, a communication design professor at the university, said, despite their conditions, the barracks allowed her some unique teaching opportunities during her 25 years teaching in the barracks. She said one year her environmental graphic design class upgraded the inside of the barracks where there were holes in the wall and un-numbered rooms. She and her students also created a mapping and signage system for the unnumbered rooms inside. “It’s lived its lifetime,” Zivkovich said. She said their are also issues with mold and rodents. Mckinney said taking classes in the Blue Barracks was almost like a rite of passage for underclassmen, but he said the change is much needed. “You could make a mess without having to worry about it too much, which is how we used it for the past twenty years or so,” said Stewart Wessel, a professor of architectural studies and interior design. Wessel, who has been a faculty adviser at an architectural studio shop in the barracks since 1996, said even

though there were drawbacks to the buildings, like sometimes sometimes walking into a room and finding a squirrel or raccoon. He said he believed students and faculty had a little more freedom to make a mess and get a little more creative about their designs and projects. “I’ll miss that kind of autonomy where we could go to the barracks and kind of get away from everything else and just concentrate on the job at hand,” Wessel said. However, he said it will be helpful that the shop is now in the same building as the studios, which is more convenient. “Students can come down and work on something in the shop during their regular studio hours without having to walk across the tracks and through the parking lots to get to the barracks,” Wessel said. He said some of his fondest moments in the barracks were the late nights he spent working with students on their projects. But he said he does not believe this will end just because the barracks do. “When anything’s new, you have to feel your way through it at first,” Wessel said. “But I think the facilities will lend themselves to better projects.” Anna Spoerre can be reached at aspoerre@dailyegyptian.com or 536-3325

Where are STDs rampant? Google wants to help researchers find out Mary Chris JakleviC | kaiser health News

With sexually transmitted diseases on the rise, researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago think they might have a powerful new weapon to fight their spread: Google searches. The nation’s leading search engine has quietly begun giving researchers access to its data troves to develop analytical models for tracking infectious diseases in real time or close to it. UIC is one of at least four academic institutions that have received access so far, along with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Researchers can mine Google data to identify searched phrases that spiked during previous upticks in a particular disease. Then, they measure the frequency of those searches in real time to estimate the number of emerging cases. For instance, a jump in gonorrhea might coincide with more people searching “painful urination” or other symptoms. “If this works, it could revolutionize STD surveillance,” said Supriya Mehta, an associate professor of epidemiology at the UIC School of Public Health. Search trends can be broken down by city and state, weighted according to their significance and combined with other data sources to give a snapshot of where disease is spreading well before public health agencies report the number of verified cases. “We’re hoping for a bit of creativity to flourish around this,” Christian Stefansen, Google disease trends senior engineer, said during a visit to UIC last month, where he spoke to about 100 people about lessons Google learned in its attempts to mine data for public health. “There’s no shortage of communicable diseases, sadly.” Sexually transmitted diseases are a growing threat, worsened by the progress of antibiotic-resistant strains, according to the CDC. The agency reported in November that STDs, including chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis, all increased in 2014, with chlamydia reaching a record of more than 1.4 million new cases. Diagnoses are highest in 15- to 24-year-olds, an age group where technology use also is high. Public health advocates have long salivated over the idea of using Internet searches to track all sorts of diseases but were limited to the publicly available Google Trends tool. It restricts the number of phrases that can be tracked and does not report searches that fall below certain undisclosed volume thresholds. Google invited infectious disease researchers to apply for unrestricted access to search data in August as it disbanded its own real-time tracking tool, Flu Trends. Launched in 2008, Flu Trends broke ground but persistently overpredicted cases, and Google came under fire from some researchers for not disclosing its methodology. According to a paper published in Science by some independent researchers, Flu Trends stumbled because it used search terms that correlated with flu season but not actual cases of the flu and failed to adjust after Google introduced “search suggest” and other features to guide users to information. Google is the most commonly used search engine in the U.S., with a 63.9 percent market share in October, according to comScore, a Reston, Va.-based analytics company. Google searches can be tracked by city, providing more refined data than the national and multi-state data reported by the CDC. “It’s a phenomenal data feed to work with, and there’s a lot that can be done with it from a research standpoint,” said Jeffrey Shaman, an associate professor

in environmental health sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, which was given access to the data. But no matter how great it is, some researchers say they can’t rely on Google alone. Take flu, which is furthest along of any real-time disease-tracking effort, with at least nine teams working with the CDC on 12 forecasting models for the current season. This fall Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School launched HealthMap FluCast, a tool that gave one- and two-week predictions by incorporating Google searches with the CDC’s weekly surveillance reports; electronic medical records from athenahealth; and Flu Near You, a website of patient-reported data. They just launched HealthMap Flu Trends, the site where they will be tracking the flu this season. In a recent paper FluCast architects say with multiple data sources they produce “more accurate and robust realtime flu predictions than any other existing system.” Cofounder John Brownstein said in an interview that FluCast will eventually add data from Twitter, though it’s “taking time to get the data in order.” While flu patients may find it therapeutic to tweet about their high fevers, pounding headaches and extreme exhaustion, people who suspect they have a sexually transmitted illness are unlikely to vent about their symptoms via social media. “In no way shape or form is someone going to tweet, ‘I have bumps on my vulva. Do you think it’s an STI?’” said Amy Johnson, a UIC Ph.D. candidate who’s been studying the feasibility of using search data for tracking sexually transmitted infections. Mehta agreed: “Because STDs are so stigmatized and personal, Twitter is not going to work for that.” Robust STD tracking systems might incorporate additional search engines such as Yahoo and Bing as well as weekly surveillance reports from local health departments, Johnson said. Overreliance on one source is particularly risky if it’s a private company such as Google, which could remove access at any time. Even the CDC is hedging its bets; Matthew Biggerstaff, an epidemiologist who leads flu tracking efforts there, said the national health agency is exploring whether it can measure visits to its own website as a reliable disease indicator “so we have something that’s more of a public data set.” And it remains to be seen just how real-time data could be used by public health agencies and providers. In the coming months, the CDC will be asking state and local health departments what type of flu data they want — real-time versus three-month forecasting, for example — and how they would use it, Biggerstaff said. “Producing it and showing that it works is different than operationalizing it,” Biggerstaff said. “It’s still new in terms of incorporating it into a public health data stream.” Then, there’s the issue of public trust. Researchers emphasize that no one’s privacy will be violated. Even with their unprecedented data access, researchers will not be able to tell who performs a query, what their sex or ethnicity is, or even what neighborhood that person lives in, Johnson said. “I’m not going to knock on their door and tell their wife or their husband they have a sexually transmitted infection,” Johnson said. “It’s important for people on the individual level to know it’s about community health.”

‘Tis the season for New Year’s resolutions SHANNON ALLEN | ShannonAllen_DE

With the end of another year comes many people making impractical resolutions for themselves. University of Scranton psychology professor John Norcross found that some of the top New Year’s resolutions are exercising, quitting smoking, more pennypinching and losing weight. Norcross looked at success rates of peoples’ resolutions and found, for the most part, resolutions are followed through for the first two weeks of the new year. But most people are slacking by February, and those resolutions are merely a dream of the past by December. People don’t stick to their goals for a

EDITORIAL CARTOON

variety of reasons, with the main being that they set their goals too high. University of Toronto psychology professor Peter Herman said there is such a thing as “false hope syndrome,” in which peoples’ resolutions do not match their internal view of themselves. When someone makes a resolution to lose weight, it won’t happen if they don’t believe it’s possible for themselves. Instead of making unobtainable resolutions, people should set realistic goals. The more specific the goal, the more achievable it becomes. Quitting smoking is not a realistic, specific goal. Cutting down to only three cigarettes a day would be. Not buying those $40 beach sandals

you’ve had your eye on because you want to save money is just torturing yourself. Instead of not spending money on things that you want, limit yourself to allocate a certain amount of money toward treating yourself every month. Another reason for failed resolutions is discouragement. People may think that if they lose weight or stop smoking, they will turn their life around right away. When that doesn’t happen, they often become disappointed and go back to their old habits. If someone makes their resolution to go to the gym every day when they have only gone twice a year, they will probably feel defeated when their body can’t handle the muscle aches after running for three days straight.

Not only is making an unrealistic resolution harmful to the body, it can also be detrimental to the mind. When people don’t receive instant gratification, their self-esteem goes down and they give up. This is not a concept of “old habits die hard” so much as it is a psychological issue. If someone does not see the ability to change in themselves, or have the patience to go through the process of said change, their resolution will fall through the cracks. People should remember that everything is a process, and good things take time. It doesn’t matter if you crawl to the finish line, so long as you get there.

‘Secret in Their Eyes’ ‘The Ridiculous Six’ is should remain hidden outrageously idiotic JACOB PIERCE @JacobPierce1_DE

The Jacob Show With the talent on hand, it’s strange how “Secret in Their Eyes” is so bad. “Secret in Their Eyes,” directed by Billy Ray and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Julia Roberts, fails at being a dark and mysterious thriller, and ends up convoluted and uneventful. It’s 2002 and the FBI is ramping up its hunt on terrorists in the U.S.

An elite group of investigators is staking out a mosque when a dead body is found in a trash dump nearby. The body turns out to be the daughter of an investigator on the team. Thirteen years later, Ray, one of the investigators, thinks he finds the killer again. This leads Ray to start an off-the-books case against the murderer — one that could lead him down a road he never wanted to go. Julia Roberts is one of the most overrated actresses of the last 20 years. Since hitting it big in “Pretty Woman,” she is an individual who has made millions off of her name. The actress is usually the worst aspect about her films. “Secret in Their Eyes” is no different. Roberts plays Jess, the investigator whose daughter is murdered. After the killing, the character becomes a shell of a person, only thinking of finding her daughter’s killer. This is par the course for “revenge” movie, Roberts doesn’t sell either the shell of a person side or the actual, likeable character beforehand. This leaves audience members having little empathy with Jess. She is a character one feels for, but only

because they can understand the idea of losing someone close. The problem is partially because Roberts comes off as someone reading a script and not a real person, but also because the actual story is all over the place. “Secret in Their Eyes,” on the other hand, comes off as amateurish and a bit confusing. For a movie based in two separate years, it does not present time very well and it is confusing. The twist ending, which should feel huge and impactful, comes out of left field and feels cheap. Ejiofor is the only aspect enjoyable about this film. It is hard to find the good of this film, but the English actor is a perfect place to start. He is excellent in everything. However, he doesn’t save this movie. Jacob Pierce can be reached at JPierce@dailyegyptian.com or at 536-3326.

JACOB PIERCE | @JacobPierce1_DE

Dan Patrick plays Abraham Lincoln and Vanilla Ice plays Mark Twain, so this should tell anyone the overall awfulness this movie accomplishes. “The Ridiculous Six,” directed by Frank Coraci and starring Adam Sandler and Terry Crews, is another in a long line of terrible Sandler movies. Tommy “White Knife” Stockburn, a man orphaned by his bank robber father, has lived with Native Americans his entire life. They have taught him their ways and made him an excellent fighter. His father, Frank, attempts to connect with his son. But Frank’s old gang kidnaps him to get stolen money. It’s up to Tommy, and a band of his halfbrothers he meets, to save their father. It’s easy to blast Sandler. This movie, like most of his recent films, is filled with questionably offensive and stupid humor, incoherent storylines and lazy comedic acting. So, I’ll be nice and start with the good. One of the minuscule good aspects of this film is the various technical work. The camera angles of the film are

average, if not uninspired, but smaller facets like lighting and sound come off as a good representation of a western film. For a Sandler film, or a parody in general, this movie goes to great lengths to present a western aesthetic. Whether it be the natural lighting or sound design, it all comes off as a decent attempt at “Unforgiven” or another classic. Sandler’s performance is unsurprisingly underwhelming. This once great comedic actor just doesn’t care anymore. His previous performances were nothing Academy Award worthy, but everything in recent years is disappointing. In “The Ridiculous Six,” Sandler at least attempts to do a Z-level Clint Eastwood. But his voice and his presence sound like he just woke up. The dumbed down humor of this flick hits a new low. Sandler films have never been known for high-brow humor and that’s OK. Not every movie, even a satire, has to be intellectual. But with gags about a donkey with magical diarrhea and constant penis jokes, the film seems like it was written by a 15-year-old.

Why your entire family is belting out Adele’s ‘Hello’ Sasha Frere-Jones | LOS ANGELES TIMES

What should we think when an artist can make people buy almost 5 million copies of an album in two weeks? Or when nearly half of all music sales in one week are down to one person? The sales of Adele’s “25,” as reported by Nielsen Music, are leaving the realm of commercial figures and nearing the dimensions of a natural disaster, an event

that unfolds in increasingly implausible numbers. You just stop trying to predict the next moment. It’s not that these events are unheard of, or that anyone doubted Adele could create her own commercial weather system, but this spike brings on more than a doubletake. Steph Curry and Adele may be sharing an algorithm. No one idea explains the perfect storm. We know Adele’s good with the singing;

we know she’s only 19 months older than Taylor Swift but somehow sounds 19 years older. And we know that people like the human they imagine behind the music. I am one of those people. Her recent TV appearances were a miracle of charm titration, admitting to Graham Norton that she drunk-tweeted herself out of access to her own account, surprising Adele imitators by joining their ranks, and then swinging by Jimmy Fallon to

sing “Hello” with the Roots backing her on toy instruments. The idea that keeping the album off Spotify drove this physical sales surge doesn’t entirely scan. The entire album — “25” — may not be available on the streaming service, but its first hit, “Hello,” is and, more to the point, the single premiered on the bigger streaming platform, YouTube, as a narrative video.

TOP CONTINUED FROM

No other Saluki had a tripledouble this season. The first match was against No. 22 ranked Missouri State. Viggars’ 26 assists, 12 kills and 10 digs led the Dawgs in a 3-2 upset Oct. 5 at Davies Gym. Against Evansville, one of two MVC teams that did not qualify for the conference tournament, Viggars posted a triple-double in a four set victory. She had 12 kills, 29 assists and 12 digs. The final triple-double in the streak was against Indiana State on Oct. 16. She led the Salukis with 15 kills in a 3-1 victory. She also tallied 18 assists and 11 digs. Her ability to set, dig and attack gave the Salukis’ the ability to run a two-setter system with junior setter Hannah Kaminsky this year. Viggars’ 781 assists this season is her career high. 5. Sean O’Brien with threestraight double-doubles After starting junior center Bola Olaniyan was suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, a void was left going into the Salukis’ men’s basketball tournament in Corpus Christi, Texas. Junior forward Sean O’Brien filled the void and then some, registering three consecutive double-doubles and being named to the Corpus Christi Coastal Challenge All-Tournament team. In each of the three games Olaniyan was suspended, O’Brien had at least 18 points and 10 rebounds, leading the team in all three games. He totaled 65 points and 32 rebounds in the games. To date, Olaniyan is the only other Saluki this season to register a double-double, which he did Nov. 15 against Florida A&M. 6. Chase Allen’s performance against Youngstown State SIU football lost its leading tackler for the first half of SIU’s homecoming game against thenNo. 16 Youngstown State. Junior linebacker Chase Allen was suspended because of conference rules for a targeting penalty.

Jacob Wiegand | @JacobWiegand_DE Junior forward Sean O’Brien attempts a layup during SIU’s 77-75 win against Air Force on Nov. 13 at SIU Arena. O’Brien scored eight points in Friday night’s game and fouled out in the second half.

Allen had 10 tackles in the second half against the Penguins. He also added two of his three blocked kicks on the year. His three blocked kicks tied for first in the MVFC. The sophomore recorded 10 or more tackles in a team leading seven games this season. The next closest was sophomore safety Kenny James, who did so six times. In those games, Allen recorded 90 of his 120 tackles for the season. 7. Brandon Williams with three-straight games with a blocked kick Senior linebacker Brandon Williams and Allen led the MVFC with three blocked kicks each. But, Williams did it all in a span of three weeks. Williams’ first block came Sept. 26 in a 34-13 victory against then-

Brent Meske | @brentmeskeDE Freshman middle hitter Alex Rosignol, left, and redshirt freshman outside hitter Andrea Estrada jump to block the ball Nov. 8, 2014 during the Saluki’s 3-0 win against Drake University. The team has the shortest average height in the Missouri Valley Conference, with an average of 5-foot-7. Coach Justin Ingram said height is not the most important aspect of success in volleyball.

No. 10 Liberty. He blocked a 57-yard field goal attempt which would have brought the Flames to within seven points. The Salukis scored a touchdown on the ensuing possession. His second block came Oct. 3 in a 37-36 loss at Western Illinois. Williams blocked a punt and ran it in for a touchdown in the second quarter, reclaiming the lead for his team. The final block of the season came on one of Missouri State’s nine punts in a 73-26 Saluki victory Oct. 10. 8. Anthony Beane’s performance against Kent State There have been a string of games SIU men’s basketball senior guard Anthony Beane has played well in, but nothing like what was seen on Nov. 18 in a 72-69 win against Kent State. Beane matched his previous career high of 32 points, set against Tennessee State on Nov. 18, 2014, eight rebounds and shooting 12of-13 from the free throw line. Against the Golden Flashes he attacked the basket, drew fouls, made clutch three pointers and used step-back jumpers to carry the team to victory. The defining moment in the game came in the last possession, when Beane poked the ball out of the hands of a Kent State player and dove on the floor to recover it. 9. Daquan Isom’s performance against Northern Iowa Isom returned from a two-game suspension to spark a comeback attempt in the second half of SIU’s season-ending 49-28 loss Nov. 21. He scored on back-to-back carries

in the third quarter on runs of 61 and 72 yards, finishing the game with 145 yards on the ground. He added another 68 yards receiving and 62 yards on kick returns for 275 all-purpose yards, and also tallied a touchdown reception. Isom was the only SIU player to record more than 200 all-purpose yards in a game in 2015, and he did it twice. The first was a 224yard performance Oct. 24 in a 38-31 win against then-No. 17 Youngstown State. 10. Jonny Rigby becomes alltime doubles wins leader Senior Jonny Rigby and his

partner, junior Michal Kianicka, won seven matches this fall to boost Rigby to No. 1 all-time at SIU with 58 doubles wins. The duo’s 8-4 win against Wichita State’s Mirosav Herzan and Haru Inoue at the ITA Central Regional gave Rigby 56 career doubles wins, and the all-time record. They would win two more matches before the fall season concluded. Rigby and Kianicka are still in the hunt to become SIU’s most winning doubles team. They need seven more wins to tie the all-time mark of 45, set by Fabiano Ramos and Mickey Maule in 1989.

Pippen gets national recognition

Sports

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2015

EVAN JONES | @EvanJones_DE

Senior middle hitter Taylor Pippen was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association Honorable Mention All-American team Wednesday. The AVCA compiles the top players into three 14-player teams and a list of 66 honorable mentions. Pippen is a two-time All-MVC first team player and preseason All-MVC player. She was named State Farm MVC Good Neighbor, CoSIDA Academic All-District and two-time MVC Defensive Player of the Week. She was also a finalist for the CLASS award this season. She finished the year first on the team with a .386 attack percentage — third in the Valley and 35th in the nation. She is first all-time at SIU with a .345 attack percentage and 426 block assists. Four other Missouri Valley Conference players were named to the honorable mention list: Wichita State’s sophomore middle blocker Abbie Lehman and senior right side hitter Katie Reilly; and Missouri State’s senior setter Kinsey Batten and sophomore outside hitter Lily Johnson. Evan Jones can be reached at EJones@dailyegyptian.com or on Twitter @EvanJones_DEa Aidan Osborne | @AidanOsborne_DE Senior guard Anthony Beane attempts to make a basket Dec. 9 during SIU’s 76-74 loss to SIUE. Beane scored 21 points during the game.

Salukis playing soft Top 10 sports moments of the semester non-conference schedule SPORTS DESK

SEAN CARLEY | @SCarleyDE

SIU men’s basketball 9-2 start may be deceiving because of its schedule. According to ESPN’s Rating Percentage Index rankings, SIU’s strength of schedule is ranked 306 of 351 Division I teams. Junior guard Mike Rodriguez said the easier schedule has the team in a catch-22 situation with fans. “We’re winning, but I still don’t think we’re getting much credit” he said. “Now it’s like, ‘Who have they played?’ But we expected that.” The Salukis have the best record in the Missouri Valley Conference, but they also have the easiest schedule. Evansville is second in the conference at 7-2 and has the second easiest schedule in the conference. Despite the schedule’s rating, coach Barry Hinson feels the Salukis’ opponents are underrated. “We’d have the same record as a lot of the teams we play if we played their schedule,” Hinson said. SIU’s opponents are 44-53 this season. Seven of the Dawg’s 11 games are against teams with a losing record and they are 6-1 in those games. The opening of SIU’s schedule was the most strenuous for the team, playing two top-150 RPI teams in its first five games. SIU split the games, beating Kent State 72-69 on Nov. 18 and losing to TexasEl Paso 71-66 on Nov. 27. Last year, the Salukis had the 348th hardest non-conference schedule and finished 7-6. Junior guard Tyler Smithpeters said the games against lower-level competition have boosted the team’s confidence, but are still taken seriously. “Whatever team we’re playing, if they’re not as good as people say they are, we still have to take them seriously,” he said. “We have to take the same attitude into each game.” Hinson said the team didn’t have the energy needed to win in a 76-74 loss against then-1-7 SIUE on Dec. 9. “[SIUE] deserved to win this game,” he said after the game. “Even if we would have won the ball game, we didn’t deserve it.” SIU finishes the non-conference schedule against Murray State and St. Louis, both away games. Both teams are in the top-150 RPI. The Salukis begin conference play at Loyola on Dec. 30 and RPI top100 Northern Iowa at home on Jan. 2. Sean Carley can be reached at scar@dailyegyptian.com or at 536-3304.

Saluki sports fans saw firsts in program history, record-setting performances and career-defining games. Here are the Daily Egyptian sports staff’s top 10 moments in Saluki sports this semester: 1. Volleyball makes NCAA Tournament for first time in school history Before the season, the SIU volleyball team set a goal to make history — and it did. The team qualified for the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history. It also finished second in the Missouri Valley Conference, the highest in program history. A nine-match win streak in the back half of the season capped off the historic campaign. The team finished No. 29 in the country for blocks per set, led by sophomore middle hitter Alex Rosignol, who was No. 10 in the country with 1.51 blocks per set. Senior middle hitter Taylor Pippen finished her career as the Salukis’ all-time leader in attack efficiency at .345. She was SIU’s leading attacker with 12 kills and no errors on 21 attempts in the Salukis 3-0 loss against Illinois in the first round of the NCAA tournament. 2. Mark Iannotti’s performance against Indiana Putting up top-five numbers in conference history is impressive. It’s even more impressive when a Football Championship Subdivision player does it against a Big Ten opponent. In the debut game of the Salukis’ new offense, which led the Missouri Valley Football Conference in total yardage, senior quarterback Mark Iannotti put up the best total offensive performance in Saluki history. Iannotti completed 24-of-31 passes for 411 yards and four touchdowns, the third best passing output in SIU history. He also ran for 106 yards and another touchdown. This was the first 400-100 yard game in SIU history. This started a historic senior year for Iannotti, as he finished with 3,195 passing yards and 3,911 total offensive yards, both of which are SIU single-season records. 3. Alex Rosignol has two matches with 11 blocks each Rosignol recorded 11 blocks in two matches this season, beginning with a 3-1 victory against Tulsa on Sept. 5 in the Tulsa invitational. Syracuse leads the country in blocks per set averaging 3.12. In a five-set match, Rosignol was four blocks shy of tying what the nation’s best blocking team does on average. Bothered by her surgically-repaired knee, she missed more

than a month of competition between the end of September and October. In her first match back on Oct. 30, against Loyola, Rosignol had 11 blocks in a 3-2 comeback victory. The Salukis were trailing 2-0 after the first two sets to a team they had already lost to this season 3-1. Rosignol and junior setter Meg Viggars combined for twothirds of the 19 blocks in the third match of the team’s ninematch win streak. 4. Meg Viggars records three-straight triple-doubles Viggars had six triple-double performances this season for the SIU volleyball team — three of those coming one after the other. Please see TOP | 5
