Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper.

The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

Spiert was the keynote speaker at the fifth annual No One Left Behind event, which is part of Spring Week at Indiana State University.

This event was sponsored by the Student Health Center.

Spiert told the audience that pressing charges made the experience difficult, but she is still here today, and is using what she’s learned to help others and spreading awareness.

“I want sexual assault to become more socially acceptable to talk about and then the numbers will decrease,” she said.

Aimee Janssen-Robinson, associate director for wellness, said the event seeks to bring awareness and help fight and prevent sexual assault on Indiana State’s campus.

Spiert said sexual assault is important to discuss on every college campus because so many students are susceptible to situations such as hers.

“This is a mainstream media topic and it would be a waste of time not to talk about it,” Spiert said.

“I want sexual assault to become more socially acceptable to talk about and then the numbers will decrease.”

Natalie Spiert, graduate student at Wright State University and keynote speaker at “No One Left Behind” Freshman nursing major Emily Weaver said she is going to be more cautious about who she hangs around.

“She was young, it was her best friend’s dad.

You wouldn’t expect that,” Weaver said. “I’m going to make better choices of who I hang around. I don’t want to hang around people who are going to put me in danger.”

Dayton Ehrlich, a freshman communication major, said that sexual assault is not a topic exclusive to women.

“It’s a really good way to get the word out on campus,” he said. “Men need to learn to respect women in general.”

Altomise Harris, a freshman biology major, was appalled by the lack of judicial support in Spiert’s case.

“The part of [Spiert’s] speech that stood out to me the most was that [her assailant] only did 90 days in jail, 60 of those being actual jail time.

That’s not a fair enough sentence,” she said.

Harris said the event inspired her to help others out if she ever encounters a victim.

“I want to make sure that I know all of the signs of sexual assault and be able to help others,” she said.

Spiert said her main goal is to be able to eliminate stigmas and misunderstandings about what rape is, help provide the most correct and appropriate definition of rape and provide assistance to those who are scared to speak up.

“Take each day that comes to you, good or bad. And don’t give up. You are believed and it

will get better with time,” she said.

Spiert said students could best prevent sexual assault by educating each other and talking openly about it.

“Don’t take advantage of people who are under the influence,” she said. “You should understand that for the victim that it has a long-term effect throughout their life. The more we talk about it, the easier it is to get rid of the stigmas.”

Janssen-Robinson encouraged everyone in attendance to get involved by visiting indstate. edu/SVP.

Sales and Negotiations Center admitted to national alliance

Austin Arceo ISU Communications and Marketing

The University Sales Center Alliance, a national organization of university sales programs, recently admitted Indiana State’s Sales and Negotiations Center with full member status.

The alliance reviewed Indiana State’s curriculum and the Sales and Negotiations Center before members granted approval. Indiana State becomes just the 19th university accepted into the alliance as a full member.

Jon Hawes, director of the Sales and Negotiations Center in the Scott College of Business, said Indiana State graduates will benefit from the honor.

“The big gain for students is that there are a substantial number of companies around the United States who only recruit sales people at these schools,” Hawes said. “These alliance universities are the dominant providers of welltrained, entry-level sales professionals as college graduates.

These students, the companies can be assured, have studied sales, have interacted with sales people, know what to expect in a sales position and have prepared themselves specifically for a sales career.”

Brien Smith, dean of the Scott College of Business, said the center’s elevated status will bolster Indiana State’s reputation, as well.

“The center’s acceptance into the University Sales Center Alliance is a valued endorsement of the quality of sales education in the Scott College of Business,” he said.

While Hawes established the Sales and Negotiations Center, faculty members in the Scott College also started reworking the curriculum in the marketing department, adding a sales track for students wanting to pursue a career in the field.

“We made a lot of changes to make this possible, especially the addition of Dr. Kevin James to our faculty,” Hawes said, “and we’re beginning to get payoffs from that work.”

Some of the changes also include environmental improvements as well. The Scott College of Business, which until last fall was housed in one of the Statesman Towers, made makeshift changes to a first-floor classroom to make it into a video laboratory.

The more than $20 million, multi-year renovations to Federal Hall to become the new home to the Scott College of Business allowed for construction to include specificallycreated video labs so that business students could film meetings and practice sessions for various classes, including sales. Students review the recordings through a secure university website.

“What we have now in the Scott College is beyond what we could conceive of in the old building, but we began that process of giving our students an opportunity to practice their craft,” Hawes said. “Students could practice interacting with others and developing those communication and interaction skills.”

Indiana State honors organization that aids victims of human trafficking, sexual exploitation

Austin Arceo ISU Communications and Marketing An international organization that provides support to victims of human trafficking has received the Community Global Engagement Award from Indiana State University.

The Center for Global Engagement at Indiana State honored Destiny Rescue for its work in freeing victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation in six countries throughout the world.

Destiny Rescue enables people, primarily young girls sold to brothels, to leave the sex trade and gain education and job skills that help them avoid returning to their previous lives.

The organization uses a relational model by developing a rapport with people, rather than risk traumatizing victims of sexual exploitation by violently raiding a location.

Destiny Rescue saved 215 children from sexual exploitation in 2012, including 127 children in Thailand. The group ultimately hopes to free 100,000 children from human trafficking and sexual exploitation by 2020.

David Grant, marketing coordinator for Destiny Rescue, said the organization is “very open” about its cause and utilizes its abilities to speak out on behalf of victims.

“We really want to see a movement and a generation that will rise up and say, ‘This must stop,’” Grant said. “That’s the way things will change.”

Catherine Tucker, assistant professor and coordinator of the clinical mental health counseling program at Indiana State, traveled with members of Destiny Rescue to Cambodia and Thailand in December and nominated the organization for the Indiana State award.

“They are very passionate about what they do and are very interested in getting more people involved from all walks of life,” Tucker said of the organization.

In addition to providing counseling services to victims of sexual exploitation, the international, nonprofit organization helps victims learn to sew, make jewelry, work in coffee houses or hair salons.

Tucker said the award is recognition that Destiny Rescue is doing important work.

“They have been a good partner for ISU in our quest to become more globally related,” Tucker said.

The organization has continued to work with Tucker and

In May, a group of ISU graduate students will travel to Thailand and Cambodia to learn more about human trafficking, along with the work that the organization does.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 “It will allow for a tremendous experience for graduate students who will work as clinical counselors and psychologists” McGrew said.

“I think the experience will be invaluable.”

Destiny Rescue’s goal in the U.S. is to

“I think it opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that human trafficking exists in the world.”

Catherine Tucker, assistant professor and coordinator of the clinical mental health counseling program generate awareness and support for its international initiatives. The organization views partnerships with institutions of higher education, including with Indiana State, as mutually beneficial, Grant said.

“We believe the decision ISU has made, with the direction of Dr. Tucker, is a bold statement regarding global awareness and preparation

for students to be effectively implemented in their field,” Grant said. “This is so much more than what can be taught in a classroom alone and should be seen as a laudable commitment to providing a complete education that will produce true professionals.”

A 2012 report from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimates that more than two million children are forced into the sex trade annually.

Destiny Rescue has worked with Indiana State on more than just international travel.

During Human Rights Day, a member of the nonprofit agency’s staff gave a presentation about the dangers of human trafficking and how sexual exploitation still happens today.

“I think it opened a lot of people’s eyes to the idea that human trafficking exists in the world,” said Tucker, who attended the Destiny Rescue presentation, “and that it’s a global problem.”

People can support Destiny Rescue in several different ways, including providing financial support or hosting a jewelry party, where attendees can purchase jewelry made by girls and young women in Destiny Rescue.

Women have to fight for their place in politics The world is changing and with it there is a need for strong, unwavering women in the political arena - women like former prime minister Margaret Thatcher.

History has shown us that rarely are one leader’s proposed policies universally accepted by the masses, but people respect leaders who act decisively.

Thatcher, hate her or love her, was a champion of sticking to her resolve. She had to be if she was to make it in a maledominated political world. Yet, despite being heralded as a pioneer for women in politics around the world, what must she have thought of those who followed her?

It is not an understatement to say that women in politics have a difficult time establishing themselves as respectable, public figures.

They are criticized and pressured about every move they make much more than their male counterparts. Hillary Clinton was criticized for crying. It immediately drew a slew of remarks about her ability to lead and oppose our enemies.

Women just can’t really win in politics.

If they’re too happy, then they must be stupid. Too unemotional, they’re frigid.

Women are overly feminized or made to seem more masculine when it seems as though they really just want to do their jobs without labels being put on them.

The media is constantly critiquing and criticizing what doesn’t matter about the women in politics.

The discussion centers upon their physical appearance, what they’re wearing or how their hair is styled.

The media also over analyze every movement women make.

Back in January, First Lady Michelle Obama was caught rolling her eyes at an inauguration dinner while sitting between her husband and House Speaker John Boehner.

A media frenzy left commentators analyzing what must have been said to

Margaret Thatcher, the first female prime minister of Great Britain (Photo courtesy of Wiki Commons).

make her roll her eyes.

The big question is who cares?

Something so trivial doesn’t really affect how the First Lady does her job, does it? The inauguration discussion also centered upon her bangs and her ball gowns. Comparatively speaking, how much have we heard about the health campaigns that she’s been starting throughout the country.

It takes a woman with some major courage to traverse the political terrain and to do it well.

We have seen those who have fallen from grace due to the relentless pressures but too often we don’t celebrate those who have done well. No one talks about Condoleezza Rice, the former secretary of state, anymore. They still talk about former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin,

Senator John McCain’s former running mate from the 2008 election, who took a turn on the reality television circuit and is quick to misspeak.

When someone like Palin becomes the face for women in politics, many girls walk away from the notion because of all the negativity that has surrounded her celebrity-like political career. The same could even be said about Clinton. With the media picking women apart, it’s no wonder that there are so few prominent female politicians.

So to aspiring females who want to be a part of the political realm, take note of Thatcher’s career. Be that “Iron Lady” because they will respect you for it.

Being a woman does not handicap your ability to lead, and don’t let anyone tell you differently.

Margaret Thatcher: Indisputably, remarkably polarizing Margaret Thatcher, Britain’s first female prime minister and the longest serving prime minister, died Monday morning.

Thatcher’s career as prime minister began shortly after she declared she would never see the day in which there would be a Julian female prime minister. her time as head of Winborn theThroughout British government, Thatcher Progress was unwavering in her convictions.

She was not quick to negotiate for or compromise as she supported Progress’ the rights of the individual over the needs of society, saying, “I am Sake not a consensus politician, I am a conviction politician.”

Thatcher’s most notable initiatives include her work surrounding unions and making alterations to the British economy.

Those efforts included reducing taxation, effectively decreasing the bargaining power of workers and privatizing industries that were originally owned by the British government which included BP, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, British Telecom, British Airways and British Aerospace.

In the process she garnered a massive base of opposition but was also praised for her decisive

action.

As she attempted to change the structure of the economy, she also eliminated government subsidies to businesses and unemployment took a sharp increase, which, at the time, forced the Thatcher administration to suffer disapproval.

However, on the tail of the British victory in the Falkland Islands War with Argentina, Thatcher again was swept into office.

The war ended with Thatcher demanding that a British submarine sink an Argentine vessel leading to the deaths of 358 Argentinians. When she announced the victory, she did not display overt joy. Rather, she said, “Just rejoice at the news, and congratulate our forces.”

Thatcher continued forward at the helm of the British government and resigned from the position in 1990 due to leadership struggles within her party.

Following her death Monday morning, there were respectful condolences as well as fervent celebrations.

Several police officers were injured Monday at a death celebration during which participants carried a sign that read, “Let’s see the evil Tory off in style.

May she never ever R.I.P.” Those who were close to the former prime minister surmised that the parties would have delighted her.

When in 2012, some of her most critical and hateful opponents remarked that her old age was inevitably leading her to death, Thatcher responded that their

criticism was a sign that she actually accomplished something while residing on Downing Street, the official residence of the prime minister.

Although Thatcher’s inflexibility over economic policies left her a subject of intense debate, she possessed qualities that many would envy.

Her zealous approach to policy and her fearless determination were incredibly unique - especially for a woman.

Thatcher has not been quick to call herself a feminist, however she may be the embodiment of female empowerment.

In the Academy Award-winning film, the “Iron Lady,” Meryl Streep portrayed Thatcher only after thoroughly exploring the political leader’s personal and professional life.

After receiving news of Thatcher’s passing, Streep issued a statement saying, “To me she was a figure of awe for her personal strength and grit. To have come up, legitimately, through the ranks of the British political system, class-bound and gender-phobic as it was, in the time that she did and the way that she did, was a formidable achievement.”

Thatcher is certainly a polarizing figure, but her personal achievements cannot be ignored.

She must be remembered as a decisive, powerful and elegant woman who was committed to public service.

Respect pregnant women regardless of age A pregnant woman is a beautiful thing; she’s happy and glowing.

While a woman is pregnant she is full of pre-pregnancy excitement and fright, but once the baby comes all the fright disappears and the maternal instinct kicks in and suddenly the Jacob mother knows just what to do.

There’s only one problem. Why is Rivers there a social stigma attached to a Letters to pregnant woman’s age?

My Fish According to recent news reports Halle Berry, now 46, and her fiance Olivier Martinez are expecting their second child.

Being an older mother can have multiple health implications for both Berry and her unborn child, but with the latest advances in testing and medical care to guard against problems Berry and her unborn child are unlikely to have problems.

Unfortunately, according to USA Today, a woman who is over the age of 35 and pregnant puts the unborn child at high risk for chromosomal changes that can lead to implications such as Down Syndrome and heart abnormalities.

For Berry at age 46, the chances of having a child with Down Syndrome are about 1 in 18. Other birth defects that can affect a child with an older mother are stillbirth and a large baby being born.

Berry isn’t the only celebrity to have a baby while over the age of 35.

Tina Fey gave birth at age 41, Mariah Carey at age 42, Nicole Kidman at age 40, Kelly Preston at age 48 and Victoria Beckham at age 36. These celebrities, admittedly accustomed to media attention, had their pregnancies thrust into the spotlight because they were pregnant at or after the age of 35.

The media responded as though it was wrong for women over 35 to be pregnant.

At the other end of the spectrum, the media makes an equally big deal about underage or teenage pregnancies. Just watch “Teen Mom” or “16 and Pregnant.”

The teenage pregnancy statistics do not sound good; reported by dosomething.org, three in 10 teenage American girls will get pregnant at least once before age 20.

That’s nearly 750,000 teen pregnancies every year.

Parenthood is also attributed to high school

dropout rates among teenage girls; more than half of teen mothers never graduate from high school.

The United States has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the western industrialized world, and what’s worse is that eight out of 10 teen dads don’t marry the mother of their child.

Teenage mothers, already facing obstacles of parenting a child when they’re practically a child themselves, must bear undue social criticism that psychologically complicates an already complicated situation.

Although there are medical issues that can arise for a mother over the age of 35, there are now medical advancements that can help the mother and unborn child to a safe and successful birth.

Even though teenage pregnancy and older mother pregnancies are quite common there is still a social stigma attached to both.

Whether a pregnancy is accidental or planned, the mother is still capable of taking care of that child and giving the baby the best care she can. Instead of looking down at an older mother or teenage mother, treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve.

Mentor, coach, world class athlete, junior communication major, cheerleader.

Wes Thomas has spent most of his college career holding all of these titles.

Since the fourth grade, the Montezuma, native has been tumbling, but it wasn’t until a cheering competition his eighth grade year that he began to take the sport of cheering more seriously.

“My first competition happened by accident,” Thomas said. “My best friend broke her leg and the team needed a replacement that had experience in tumbling so they asked me to fill her spot.

From there, I just loved it and started cheering ever since.”

Currently, Thomas is a part of the level six cheering team Spirit Athletics, based in Florence, Ky. Cheerleading is set in levels one to six. Level one is the beginner level while level six is the most advanced.

All-Star cheerleading is a judged performance sport in which teams develop 2-1/2 minute synchronized routines set to music.

Thomas said his team meets on weekends because not everyone on the team is from Florence. On average, the team practices together about 15 hours a week to perfect the elements in their routine. The team works on stunts, basket tosses and choreography.

On his own, Thomas practices an extra two to three hours a week tumbling in the gym.

Thomas said his team is three weeks away from the 2013 Cheerleading and Dance Worlds Championship that will be held in Orlando, Fla., at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World.

The April 27 weekend competition, will feature national and international all-star cheerleading and dance teams.

“We compete against teams from all over the world from Germany, France, Norway and England,” Thomas said. The competition is “basically the Olympics of cheerleading.

“I think this is my greatest personal accomplishment,” he said. “I have received multiple first place awards and grand champion team-based honors, but going to the world championships is a big accomplishment for any cheerleader.”

ISU student Wes Thomas, has competed in cheerleading competitions worldwide (Photo by Mae Robyn Rhymes).

The Indiana State junior also coaches at the Terre Haute Cheering University located at 13th and Poplar streets. He began coaching several years ago at his home gym, Energy Unlimited.

In Terre Haute, he coaches, assists and trains young athletes as they develop cheer routines.

Many of Thomas’s students are up and coming cheerleaders who perform at levels one through four.

While they are gaining experience, Thomas instills in them the importance of practice by working with them for two hours, two times a week, he said.

African Global Night to dispel stereotypes, offer a glimpse of diversity

Sankofa, which means going back to our roots, is the theme of the 2013 African Global Night (Submitted Photo).

Ernest Rollins Editor-in-Chief The Indiana State University African Student Union will return to its roots Saturday as the organization hosts its annual African Global Night.

Members of the student group have been rehearsing since January for a night of song, music, poetry, dance, fashion and food that pays tribute to the culture and traditions of Africa.

Winfred Ndungu, a sophomore clinical lab major and a member of the African Student Union, said it makes her feel like she is back at home.

“It’s a lot of fun and a great way to get involved on campus and work with other students,” Ndungu said. “Every year the number of guests increases and with that it is evident that the ISU

community enjoys the night.”

Sophomore economics major Nancy Kaj said the African Global Night is a way to “honor and really represent Africa in the university.”

Ndungu said the night offers an opportunity to share with the university different aspects of African culture, dispel stereotypes about Africa and embrace the diversity present on campus. Kaj, originally from the Democratic Republic of Congo, said many do not know Africa like she has experienced it and this is an opportunity for her to share that.

Kaj said the night will feature “authentic and African food” made possible with the help of members of

African communities in Chicago and

Track and Field Thursday-Saturday at Knoxville, Tenn. for the Sea Ray Relays, 4 p.m.

The Indiana State baseball has had mixed results in their recent games against Purdue and Wichita State.

ISU offense lifts Sycamores past Purdue,10-5 In a game that was dominated by the offense, the Indiana State baseball team defeated the Purdue Boilermakers, 10-5, Tuesday evening at Bob Warn Field.

With the win, the Sycamores improve to one game above the .500 mark with a 14-13 record on the season. Purdue drops to 11-20 with the loss.

Junior pitcher Daniel Peterson earned the win in relief, giving up just two hits in three shutout innings.

ISU scored their 10 runs on 14 hits to go along with nine RBIs. Senior infielder Jordan Pearson led the way offensively, picking up three hits and two RBIs. Purdue jumped on top early, plating a run in the top half of the opening frame off an RBI single from Jack Picchiotti. The Sycamores responded in the bottom half with a run of their own as redshirt senior infielder Koby Kraemer roped a double to left centerfield with two outs and was brought around to score on a RBI single back up the middle from senior in/outfielder Robby Ort. After allowing another run, ISU took the lead, scoring four runs in the bottom half of the second. With one out, Pearson, junior infielder Mike Fitzgerald, junior infielder Tyler Wampler, sophomore outfielder Landon Curry and junior infielder Cody Zimmerman hit five consecutive singles to give the Sycamores the lead.

ISU students compete in fundraising race

Thomas Beeler Sports Editor

Indiana State’s physical education 101 program held their bi annual Fun Run Charity 5K Tuesday at Memorial Stadium.

Kathy Ginter, instructor in the department of kinesiology, recreation and sport, said the Fun Run is a chance for students to complete their community engagement service project and to challenge them to run three miles.

Ginter has been a part of the PE 101 program at ISU for two years. She said the fun run is a PE 101 tradition started in the 1990s and held every semester since.

“We’ve had from 35 to 350 students participate in the run,” Ginter said.

Ginter said the attendance depends on the weather conditions, class scheduling or conflicts with athletes’ schedules which creates a wide variety when it comes to the number of attendees.

One year students ran the fun run through a blizzard. This past fall there were over 300 students due to the nice weather.

Ginter said PE 101 is all about creating a healthy and fit lifestyle so they encourage students to work on their cardiovascular fitness.

“Having an active lifestyle as you grow up will make things a lot easier on your body,” said Bridget Campbell, graduate assistant with the kinesiology, recreation and sport department.

“You’ re going to age easier and it can influence others around you.”

Students ran three laps around the trails, which were designed to resemble Indiana, around Memorial Stadium and then entering the stadium to finish along side the Indiana State football team and coaching staff.

“Doing something, getting up and moving gives them a chance to be a part of this movement,” Ginter said.

Andrew Schwartz, junior packaging engineering technology major, won the men’s race in 18 minutes.

“I enjoyed running,” Schwartz said. “I’m in the PE 179 Mini Marathon class. So I’m out here for extra credit in the class.”

Schwartz said he enjoyed the Fun Run 5K while he but didn’t like running the same trail three times, he would participate in the fun run again.

“It wasn’t bad,” said Schwartz. “Just went out and did a nice easy run.”

Students who donated $5 to Ryves Hall Community Center received 25 bonus points toward their PE grade. Also, students could bring canned foods for the Terre Haute Catholic Charities Food bank with each being worth bonus points.

First, second and third place winners of the men’s and women’s races received prizes. First place winner won a $35 gift card to the ISU Bookstore. Second place received a $25 gift card to the bookstore and third received a coupon for a free sandwich from Subway.

Students also had the chance of winning raffle prizes with the grand prizes being men and women’s ISU sweatshirt.

“This is an opportunity for the students in PE 101 to participate in a 5K race and also do a charity event,” Campbell said. “Some students didn’t know what a 5K was, so this will help them become aware of the community to where they end up living in.”

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 After giving up another run in the bottom of the third, the Sycamores took advantage of a WSU error, a single from Kraemer, and another RBI single from Hayes to make it a two-run game going into the bottom half of the fifth.

Wichita State broke the game wide open in the sixth, thanks to a three-run homer from Johnny Coy over the centerfield wall. The Shockers did most of their damage in the sixth and seventh innings with two outs and managed to hold on for the game two win over the Sycamores.

Manaea returns, tosses six shutout innings in ISU win, 7-5 After missing his scheduled start on Friday, Manaea returned to the mound in Sunday’s series closer to help lift the Sycamores past Wichita State, 7-5.

Manaea tossed six innings of scoreless work, allowing five hits to go along with nine strikeouts. Five ISU pitchers came out of the bullpen to bridge the final three innings, allowing a combined five runs on five hits. Ort and Kraemer, along with Zimmerman, each picked up a pair of hits in the victory.

Once again, the Sycamores started early offensively by plating four runs in the opening frame. With one out, Zimmerman got things going with a line-drive single to the second baseman and then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Kraemer roped a double down the right field line to score Zimmerman before Ort and Conway tacked on for the third and fourth consecutive ISU hit in the inning.

Indiana State scored another run in the third before taking advantage of a pair of WSU errors in the sixth to tack on two more.

With a 7-0 lead heading into the bottom half of the ninth, the Sycamores gave up five runs on five hits in the final inning to make it interesting. The Shockers’ rally wouldn’t be enough, and ISU was able to earn the win behind the strong arm of Manaea.

ISU Softball splits doubleheader with IUPUI

LeVon Whittaker Reporter

The Indiana State softball team earned a single victory in their doubleheader against the IUPUI Jaguars Tuesday at Price Field. The Sycamores grabbed a 7-0 win in the first game but then fell in the second, 6-17.

Sycamores take victory over Jaguars, 7-0 In the first game against the Jaguars, the Sycamores starting freshman pitcher Halle Humphrey pitched all seven innings, earning five strikeouts and only allowing four hits.

Junior Morgan Allee stole second after a walk by the Jaguars pitcher to break the ISU single season record for stolen bases. ISU started in the fourth inning when freshman infielder Alexa Cavin doubled and earned two RBIs making it 2-0. Following Cavin’s double, junior utility player Shelby Wilson followed up with a single advancing Cavin to third. With runners in scoring position from a groundout by sophomore utility player Megan Stone, senior catcher Alex Lucas scored them both on a sacrifice squeeze giving them a 4-0 lead after four innings of play.

The Sycamores continued the offensive assault as freshman infielder Abbie Malchow hit her second career home run with a runner on base, earning her two RBIs and increasing the Sycamores’ lead 6-0. They then added one more run to the lead to make it 7-0 as Allee singled to third, scoring freshman infielder Paige Schreiner.

ISU gets out scored IUPUI, 6-17 The Sycamores couldn’t for the second game in the series Tuesday. The Jaguars got out to an early lead as they put two runs on the board after the first inning. The Sycamores responded with a run of their own in the second as Lucas hit her first career homerun to decrease the deficit, making it 2-1.

It was a back and forth battle when the Jaguars added three more runs in the third inning but could not stop the Sycamores. In the bottom of the third, the Sycamores added two runs off an RBI single from Allee to tie the game 5-5. The Jaguars opened the lead as they went on rally in the fifth inning taking the lead 17-5. The Sycamores tried to get back into the game in the sixth inning scoring one run, but could not get any more than that ending the game with a final score of 17-6.

“Well Humphrey did a great job the first game and the defense backed her up,” said Shane Bouman, head softball coach. “When you have a final score and the other team has zero, you know the pitching and defense was doing the right thing and that’s Sycamores softball.”

The team is looking forward to Missouri Valley Conference match-up this weekend as they face the Creighton Blue Jays in a three game series in Price Field at 2 p.m.
