Universities may not need warrant for search and seizure David Cesario Reporter

Students who live in ISU residence halls may be subject to a search of their personal property if police suspect a crime.

ISU police engaged in the search of a student room in Cromwell Hall on Sept. 15 to track down a missing Dell Lenovo laptop.

Information available through the Office of Information Technology helped police track down the computer. Police followed up on the lead, and searched the room where the laptop was located after the student gave police permission to do so, and the student was later arrested for theft.

Search and seizure/4

The Sycamores started strong and held on to their lead to finish on top in the high scoring game against Youngstown State University on Saturday.

Cody Adams Reporter

The Sycamores went in to Saturday’s game against 24th ranked Youngstown State University at Memorial Stadium with one thing to prove: that they have gone from pretenders to contenders. After traveling to Western Kentucky University last weekend and coming away with their first win over a NCAA FBS division opponent since 2001, the Sycamores needed to prove that they were not a fluke, and that is just what they did.

Crimes and Consequences—Public Safety SEARCH AND SEIZURE/ FROM PAGE ONE

Police Blotter Sept. 22 At 3:20 a.m., a suspect was cited for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia off campus At 4:02 a.m., an ill person was reported at Pickerl Hall At 4:17 a.m., a suspect was arrested for battery and disorderly conduct at 200 Blk. N. 6th. St At 3:19 p.m., property damage was reported on Lot 24 At 3:32 p.m., a disturbance was reported at the Lincoln Quads At 11:09 p.m., a fire alarm was reported at Hines Hall

While the arrest of the student may have students concerned about the privacy to which they’re entitled, the circumstances of this stolen laptop case aren’t always the norm.

Assistant Director of Public Safety Joe Newport said police must obtain a search warrant in order for the search to hold up in court.

Police must be able to justify the need for a warrant by demonstrating probable cause for the warrant and offering that to the judge who must sign the warrant.

Police can then use any force necessary to serve a warrant, Newport said.

Indiana State University has the right to conduct an administrative search to enforce rules, as well as criminal laws.

Attorney Lisa Decker, who is also associate professor of criminology and criminal justice, said that a search is defined as a government official “prying in to hidden places” and a seizure involves an official taking custody of property.

Police have some leeway if there is an immediate threat to The health, safety and welfare interests of citizens, Decker said. In those cases and administrative search without a warrant is legal.

Evidence found during an administrative search can be used in criminal court if the evidence found is turned over to the police.

Newport explained that administrative searches on campus are issued by the director of residential life and that police are usually present during the searches.

Students may feel violated by the prospect of having their property searched, but the residential contract students sign with the university subjects them to police searches, Decker said.

Newport said that the conditions for search and seizure vary greatly.

“The whole subject of search and seizure, whether it be administrative or criminal, is case specific,” Newport said. “It’s nearly impossible to compare different events because one small item can alter the facts.”

Search and Seizure: When is it necessary?

Students, their on campus residences, their possesions and/or other areas where they have an expectation of privacy are subject to search and siezure under the following circumstances, according to the Office of Student Conduct and Integrity website:

Criminal Actions: When police officials have probable cause to believe a crime either has been or is being committed they may conduct searches based on consent; a valid search warrant; incident to arrest; or, in the case of motor vehicles, with proper probable cause; or for purposes of inventory prior to being impouned Administrative Actions: When campus officials believe a University regulation either has been or is being violated, they may conduct searches based on consent or the permission of designated University officials. In addition, administrative searches of residence hall rooms may be conducted by designated university officials as part of either an announced or unannounced health and safety inspection.

Emergency Situations: Police and/or university officials may conduct searches if an obvious threat to life or property exists.

Sept. 23 At 12:11 a.m., a suspect was arrested for a warrant off campus At 12:25 a.m., a suspect was arrested for public intoxication, MCA, and resisting law enforcement at the Lincoln Quads At 1:03 a.m., an information report was conducted off campus

The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance.

Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions.

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 comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

Building connections key to finding jobs ELIZABETH DAWES

Career fair Wednesday

Reporter

The fall semester is not quite half over, but senior communication major Kate Shelley has already begun searching for a job.

“I started looking this summer to see what positions are out there and if those positions were in the areas I want to live in,” said Shelley, who plans to work in public relations.

Graduates of the class of 2012 won’t flip their tassels until commencement next May, but ISU’s Career Center advises students to get a running start with the job hunt now.

Career Center Executive Director Tracy Powers said the first step of obtaining a job is gaining an understanding of the desired job field. From there, Powers recommends networking with professionals in that field.

What: Fall 2011 Career Opportunity Fair When: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Where: North Gym, Arena Dress code: Business casual, at least More info: ISU Career Center, 237-3806 Shelley said she has contacted people she knew with connections to public relations to get in touch with appropriate professionals.

“The more connections a student can make within a career field, the better,” Shelley said. “They really help.”

Resources and connections can be found advertised throughout campus as well as in career fairs and on the Web. The Career Center is designed to help students along

the job search.

Powers said the center meets one-on-one with students and helps them navigate through the process.

Students who are looking for jobs in health and technology fields will have more options available to them than students who are interested in other career fields. Powers said science-related jobs are also opening up, thanks to technological advances.

“Some specific resources that can be used are Sycamore CAREERlink under the position tab, the Sycamore Career Fair and classroom presentations by career center representatives,” Powers said.

Employers are rallying back to career fields, she said, and a “record number” of employers are expected at this year’s Fall Career Opportunity Fair, set for Wednesday in the North Gym of the Arena.

Homecoming preparations well underway ELIZABETH DAWES Reporter

Preparations have been heavy as ISU students and staff gear up for the homecoming parade which kicks off Oct. 5 at 9 a.m.

Greg Lansing, the coach of the ISU men’s basketball team, will be the grand marshal at this year’s homecoming parade.

Selecting the grand marshal is only part of the planning, however.

Sophomore communication major Carl Mitchell is the parade chair and is responsible for organizing the parade.

He is also the community spokesman.

Homecoming Committee advisor Freda Luers helps Mitchell with all his duties.

“We work on the parade year round and over the summers”, she said.

According to the Indiana State ar-

chives, the homecoming parade has been one of Indiana State’s longest lasting traditions since 1923.

“It is always good to see alumni come back.” Luers said.

Not only does the parade provide an opportunity for alumni to visit, but it is also a chance to observe the many changes in the parade and around campus, Luers said.

With 130 units currently entered into the parade, float entries have not yet been revealed. Homecoming Committee member Nicole Kistner is in charge of making the judges feel at home at the parade.

“It is my job to walk the judges to the different floats and to bring them to the judges table after seeing the floats,” Kistner said.

Along with the pressure of making a great float for everyone to see, there is

Few takers for free local newspapers TANNER MCCARTY Reporter

Hours after they rolled off the printing press, bundles of free Terre Haute “Tribune-Star” newspapers sit unopened in their racks early Friday evening.

Josh Harmon, the newspaper’s circulation director said it’s part of a new program established by the newspaper, for free copies to be available to students each weekday. The paper is distributed to nine locations on campus, including each residence hall and the Lincoln Quads.

Copies are also sent to four other colleges and universities in Terre Haute, including Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, St.-Mary-of-the-Woods College, Ivy Tech and Harrison College.

While carriers set out roughly 900 cop-

ies at ISU each morning, only about 350 are picked up each day, Harmon said.

Harmon said the number of papers distributed to campus may decrease, depending on how many copies are left unopened.

Currently, the Tribune-Star receives no direct revenue from university distribution, but Harmon said the paper hopes to create a special advertising wrap catered to college students. If advertisers aren’t found, the paper would consider whether or not to continue distributing papers to the universities.

Tribune-Star Publisher B.J. Riley said he believes the newspaper has a lot to offer to students.

“We reached out to the university to establish this program as a way to get the paper into students’ hands,” Riley said.

It was recently announced that Mike Posner and the Brain Trust will perform on Saturday, October 15, as a part of the Homecoming festivities. Posner, who broke into the scene last year with his debut album, “31 Minutes to Takeoff,” became a Top 40 success after releasing the singles “Cooler Than Me” and “Please Don’t Go.” Also, Posner has collaborated with hip hop star Lil’ Wayne and performed on shows such as “Ellen” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” However, the most desirable quality about Posner is that he caters to the college community. A list of tour stops on his website, mikeposner.com, includes Ohio University, Grand Valley State University in Michigan, Xavier University in Ohio, Williams College in Massachusetts and St. Joseph’s University in Pennsylvania. Prices for the concert at ISU are $8 for students and $12 for the general public, which are considerably lower than the ticket costs for OU ($2535) and GVSU ($15-25). We are pleased that Spotlight Entertainment has recruited an artist who’s familiar with the college environment and that the concert will be affordable for students.

However, we hope that this event doesn’t detract from the real purpose behind Homecoming week. Events like the parade, trike race and concert are meant to bring students together and encourage them to cheer on their football team. And while it’s cool that Posner is coming to town, the focus should remain on the players and the game.

Regardless, we want students to enjoy the show.

What makes a band list-worthy?

Molly Sefton Sounding Off

Have you ever wondered what it takes for a band to be considered truly great?

Well, I have, and for that reason I decided to look up a list of the top 100 artists of all time as seen on VH1.

As I expected, The Beatles were at the top of the list.

They are still selling records 50 years later, and you cannot go into a music store without seeing something with their faces on it.

I am completely okay with this as I wish that I could magically make them all appear in front of my apartment and serenade me with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

Following directly behind them was Michael Jackson, which made me smile because he was one of the few people dubbed as musical royalty, and, if the chart is any indication, he really was the “King of Pop.” It was surprising to me that Elvis was barely in the top 10 (sitting at number 8) since he is given credit for the existence of rock ‘n’ roll, but I always thought “The King” was a little overrated anyway.

A few of the other shocks to me being that Nirvana, while still good, was ranked higher on the list than Queen. Both were higher up than Pink Floyd, who I always thought of as the primo band of their time.

The real shocker to me was that Justin Timberlake was on the list. This former boy-bander-gone-solo was not someone who I ever envisioned having much musical impact. I was under the impression he would fizzle out and be forgotten like the rest. Well played, JT, well played.

Not only did he manage to find himself on the list, but he managed to surpass bands who I thought would be pretty high up there like Coldplay and Earth, Wind, and Fire. This is my evidence that Kidz Bop has more power than it should, and we need to put it to rest.

While this chart in no way affects my musical choices, it is still fun to look at how music has impacted us and how we as a general population view what is good music.

Even I must admit that there is an amount of accuracy to a chart that values Beyoncé more than it does Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The best part for me though is to see who stands the test of time and has truly lived up to their anticipated shelf life.

Upsets galore on Emmy night Two weeks ago, I shared who I thought would prevail at the 63rd Prime- claim the prize.

Over in drama, Peter Dinklage’s win for Best Supporting Actor for “Game Of Thrones” was time Emmy Awards.

As I sat down to watch the red carpet and the awards, I began receiving a pleasant surprise.

The biggest upset for me was when Steve Carell lost for the sixth straight time in Best Lead texts and Facebook messages asking me what channel the awards were on.

Once I told them FOX, I was shocked to learn that apparently no one on Actor in a Comedy Series. This was also Carell’s last season on the popular sitcom, so he leaves the show never winning an Emmy. campus has access to that channel.

The award went to Jim Parsons from “The Big Bang Theory” instead.

At first, I thought it had to be a problem with Time Warner Cable, but I I’m not saying that Parsons doesn’t deserve the award, but he won last year, quickly realized that wasn’t the case, seeing how I was watchand it was Carell’s turn. ing FOX on a television that had Time Warner Cable.

If I were to make a prediction, I would say that Carell will come back for a couple episodes This was just the beginning of the “Modern Family” domination. The show went on to win in every category it was nominated in: Best Supporting Actor (Ty Burrell), Best Writing, Best on “The Office” and win in the Best Guest Actor category.

This brings another Emmy race to a close.

Another surprise occurred when Melissa McCarthy won Best Lead Actress in a Comedy If I have learned anything, it’s that these awards are the hardest to predict, but that’s where Series for “Mike and Molly.” McCarthy leap frogged over Laura Linney and Amy Poehler to all the fun lies.

Joe Wagner Tuning in

‘Dream House’ feels like déjà vu Hollywood views the audience as being quite stupid. We need pretty actors to entertain us and simple plot lines so that our feeble minds won’t blow up.

I know this, I accept it and it’s ok.

However, I do not condone giving up the entire plot in the trailer, which is why the movie “Dream House” confuses me so much.

This movie at a glance interests me quite a bit. It has Daniel Craig, the new James Bond, and Rachel Weisz from the “The Mummy.”

I gained a newfound respect for Daniel Craig when I went to see “Cowboys & Aliens” this summer, and it wound up being quite a Megan good movie.

Stenftenagel If Daniel Craig can make me like a movie that ridiculous, then I What’s think we’ll be ok.

So being the interested movie patron that I am, I looked up the Playing trailer for “Dream House, and was immediately confused and a little angry.

The trailer starts off fairly creepy with the couple’s little girls getting scared and things going bump in the night. Then the husband goes to investigate the man behind the murders that happened in their house, and it’s him.

Yeah, if this doesn’t scream spoiler I don’t know what does. And this earth-shattering little scene happens halfway through the trailer.

Either the filmmakers have never heard of “Shutter Island,” which has basically the same premise, or this isn’t actually the plot twist of the movie.

After that scene is revealed, he goes back home where his wife embraces him. He turns to her and tells her that she and the girls are dead.

So now it’s essentially “The Others,” and we still don’t have an original plotline.

It’s really hard for me to determine whether or not I want to go see this in the theater.

On the one hand, it has confused the heck out of me so far, and I want some resolution.

I want to know what will become of Daniel Craig and his handsome family. Is there a chance that this is all some kind of terrible hallucination created by the house and they will all come to and leave that terrible place?

On the other hand, if they’re already ghosts and he’s been in a mental institution then there isn’t really anywhere else for the story to go.

Is he going to commit suicide to be with them? Or will he just go back to the hospital?

Their kindly neighbor, played by Naomi Watts, continues to talk to him throughout the film. Maybe he will forgive himself if he did indeed kill his family, and the neighbor will help him put his life back together.

Hopefully if any of you decide to see the film this weekend you won’t already know the entire plot line. Maybe it will present an engaging, surprising story that will captivate its audiences opening weekend.

Nevertheless, I’m sure it will prove to be entertaining, even if the people who put together the trailer are a bit dimmer than most.

Obesity is a growing problem According to the article “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2011,” 33.8 percent of adults and 17 percent of children ages 2-19 are obese.

It might not sound like a lot, but that 17 percent of children come out to be 12.5 million children.

To my surprise, Angelina MissisRitter sippi had highest Meals on the obesity Heels rate in 2010.

A total of 34 percent of the state is obese.

However, Indiana isn’t too far behind. Indiana sits at 29.6 percent.

Looking around your classrooms, you may find that fact hard to believe.

The United States just keeps getting more and more obese, but why?

Today’s society lives off of fast food. 25 percent of Americans consume fast food each day.

Don’t get me wrong, I am the type of person who loves McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell and pretty much everything, but when I found out that Americans spend nearly $100 billion per year on fast food it made me disgusted.

We need to take action now to reduce obesity in America.

Things that could help reduce obesity include eating more home-cooked meals, exercising two or three times a week and lowering our stress levels.

Adults, especially parents, play a big role in becoming healthy.

Children look up to adult figures and will follow in their footsteps.

I know it is hard to give up fast food. I

would love to be able to go through McDonalds every day for a BigMac and fries, but it’s not possible. I would gain weight like crazy, and in turn lose my selfesteem.

Studies have shown that obese people have low selfesteem, and are often depressed.

At Indiana State, we need to make a change, and cut down on our fast food intake.

The difference in the amount of people I see in the Commons compared to the dining hall is significant.

I understand you have classes back to back, and the Commons seems like the best choice, but in the end, it is worse.

It is alright to treat yourself to the Commons every once in a while. I know I do.

But every day is a little much.

Everyone jokes about when you go to college how you will gain the “Freshmen 15.”

But what about the sophomores, juniors, and seniors?

They are the ones in the commons the most because they are allowed to use their credits whenever they what, whereas the freshman are not.

So for everyone out there wanting a change; go ahead and be different.

Eat healthy.

How do other states stack up against obesity?

America’s hungry for a fight I discovered over the summer that a man I worship and love, Anthony Bourdain, despises the fast food industry.

Bourdain, bestselling author and host of the Travel Channel’s “No Reservations,” laid out his hatred of all things quick and fattening in the chapter “Lower Education,” found in his book “Medium Raw.” His exact words were: “Personally, I don’t care if my little girl ever recognizes [Mickey Mouse or Jesus]—but I do care about her relationship with Ronald [McDonald].

I want her to see American fast-food culture as I do. As the enemy.”

And while I adore this man, his style and nearly anything he puts into print, I absolutely had to disagree with him.

Fast food culture isn’t the enemy; we are.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) also stands on Bourdain’s side of the cutting board, but for entirely different reasons. They’ve launched a site for children, petakids. com, that has begun a crusade against the golden arches, as well as KFC. PETA’s argument?—Ronald and the Colonel are too mean to the chickens.

“Did you know that millions of chickens are killed by McDonald’s suppliers each year?” states the website.

PETA also provides the children with a “cute” chicklet drawing with the hopes that the kids will fill the thought bubble on the page with pleas for better poultry treatment. Some examples they give include “I Am Not a Nugget” and “Help me!”

Here’s the bone I’ve got to pick with Bourdain and PETA: this war they’re waging against the fast food industry,

Brianne Hofmann Write and Wrong

regardless of their reasoning, is unnecessary. I commend Bourdain and his efforts to make his daughter eat healthier. I understand, to a degree, where PETA is coming from. This nation devours fast food in excess and could improve slaughter methods.

First, though, it isn’t entirely McDonald’s fault that the obesity issue is affecting more youth. Children aren’t climbing behind the wheel of a car and high-tailing it over to the restaurant; their parents are driving them.

Their parents are purchasing the food, grabbing those red trays and setting them on the table. If adults are so concerned about their pudgy offspring, they should try ordering items off of McDonald’s “healthier options” menu.

Yes, Mickey D’s has that. Shocker.

Second, filling children’s heads with visions of bloodied, screaming chickens is a tad morbid, isn’t it? While it’s unfortunate that those chickens didn’t get to say goodbye to their families before they were slaughtered, they’re just chickens. Like cows and pigs, they were created to be eaten­one­­way or the other.

The fast food industry is on the same level as the tobacco industry. It’s been proven scientifically that smoking or chewing is harmful and addictive. Yet, people continue to purchase cigarettes and other nicotine products by the bushel, knowing fully that it can cause cancer.

But who gets the blame? Who gets berated by protesters, families and politicians?­Tobacco companies do.

The fast food industry is under fire because somewhere along the way, the country collectively made some bad choices. We wanted our food to be quick and cheap.

Now, we’re seeing the consequences of those choices, and we desperately want to blame restaurants like McDonald’s.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds us.

More than 30 African-American students were awarded Saturday for their academic achievements.

The African-American Culture Center sponsored the The Academic Achievement Awards Ceremony & Luncheon to recognize individuals and groups of AfricanAmerican students who have accomplished high levels of achievement during the past year with at least a 3.3 GPA on a 4.0 grading scale.

The awards ceremony is designed to motivate underclassmen toward higher levels of personal attainment. The event also supports interest given to African-American students by African-American faculty, staff and community members in the development of skills and talents. In addition, it encour-

ages both individual and group participation in African-American awareness by promoting active involvement in programs, activities and organizations relevant to the African-American heritage.

“This is our second annual awards ceremony,” said Stephanie Jefferson, director of the Cultural Center. “We are definitely going to continue this every year recognizing our students in their academic achievements.”

“It is good that they are acknowledging us,” said sophomore Communications major Day’Jonnae Riggins, who obtained a 3.4 GPA “It gives us that extra push.”

Riggins is an honor student from Gary, and a graduate of Lew Wallace High School. She was accepted to a variety of schools but chose Indiana State University where she received the most scholarships for her academic excellence, she said.

The brown house on Indiana State’s campus is not as random as new students may think–the house happens to be the residence of Indiana State University’s President Daniel J. Bradley and his wife, first lady Cheri Bradley.

The Condit House was deemed a Historical American Building by the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute, according to the University Archives’ website.

President Bradley’s house is formally known as the Condit House.

University Archives says the Condit House is “the oldest structure on campus, a well preserved Italianate structure, Condit House, was built in 1860.”

The Condit house has endured many years in harsh Midwestern weather without having to undergo extreme renovations that would alter the building’s historical structure. Architect Jabez Hedden and contractor Lucien Houriet were the minds behind the structure of the 151-year-old house.

The Condit House was not always home to Indiana State University’s president. Until the early 1990s, the Condit House was residence to Reverend Blackford Condit and his wife, Sara Louise Mills Condit.

The Scott College of Business hosted their Leader in Action presentation in the Hulman Memorial Student Union. The event was titled, “After the Crisis: The Transformation of Financial Services”.

Greenlee, a 1985 finance alumnus, was the speaker for the night. He is managing director of KPMG’s Financial Services and has more than 24 years of senior bank regulatory experience, according to ISU’s RSVP flyers for the event. Greenlee spoke in regard to the American banking system and changes they are expected to undergo in the future.

Greenlee traveled to ISU from Washington, D.C. with his wife and mother. He began the presentation by commenting on being back on ISU’s campus and the impact ISU made on him in the past.

“There are a lot of positive changes being

taken at ISU,” Greenlee said. “ISU played a pretty big role in my career.”

Greenlee discussed the state of the economy and the role the banks play.

“There is a transformation of financial services,” Greenlee said. “It is not just a US agenda, it is a global agenda.”

In reference to the American banking system, Greenlee touched on the changes necessary in order to work towards improving the system.

New regulatory expectations, increased capital and funding, proper management and less discretion were a few examples provided.

New ATM charges and increasing loan rates may be seen in the future as banks adjust to new system changes.

These changes could affect many ISU students planning on applying for credit cards or taking out car or house loans in the next few years.

“There is a lot of pressure on the government,” Greenlee said. “It is a big challenge.”

by Kacie Daughtery) On the Sept. 17 game against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, sophomore running back Shakir Bell ran for 221 yards and two touchdowns, which propelled him to fifth place on the all-time list for number of yards rushed in a game in Sycamore history. Bell finished Saturday’s game against the Penguins with 256 yards and four touchdowns with a 12.2-yard average. His efforts propelled him to the number one position on the all-time rushing list for the Sycamores with 225 of the 256 amassed in the first half of play.

“Shakir was outstanding,” Trent Miles, ISU football head coach said. “He is an outstanding individual and player, but those guys up there blocking and those receivers blocking down field for him did a great job also. They were able to come out and set a tone offensively and then defensively. I thought we came out and set a great tone.”

Senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch threw 17 passes completing 11 of them for 189 yards and 1 touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Leonard Riston.

On the Sycamores’ first possession of the game, they were on the scoreboard in just one play as Bell ran for 69 yards. The next time the Sycamores

had the ball, Bell would have another rushing touchdown and two carries. Bell had 100 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter, giving the Sycamores the lead with 11 minutes to go in the quarter. The defense was dominant in the first quarter forcing Youngstown State to punt on their first three possessions.

“Our defensive tone early help set the stage for the offense to be able to do what they did, so we kind of fed off each other there and jumped out,” Miles said.

The Sycamores scored again following an 11yard touchdown pass from Fouch to Riston with 4 minutes remaining in the quarter. The Penguins would retaliate with seconds to go in the quarter, and the quarter would end with the Sycamores up by 14 (21-7).

Bell continued his dominance going into the second quarter with a 61-yard touchdown run with just 15 seconds off the clock and a 51-yard run with four minutes remaining in the quarter. The Penguins continued to remain close, and the Sycamores would go in to half time with a 34 to 21 lead.

The third quarter was controlled by each teams’ defenses as they held the opposing team from scoring.

With 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Penguins found the end zone on a one-yard touchdown. The Sycamores extended their lead with a 22-yard field goal from sophomore place kicker Cory Little, but, with just 1:21 to go in the game, Youngstown State quarterback Kurt Hess found a receiver in the end zone to make it a two point game, 35 to 37.

Youngstown State had one last chance with an onside kick. However the kick would not travel 10 yards, and by rule, the Sycamores would get the ball with one minute remaining, allowing them to just run out the clock.

The Sycamores’ win over Youngstown State gives them their first win over a ranked opponent since 2004. It also gives the Sycamores their first threegame win streak since 1996.

The Sycamores move 3-1 for the season. They travel to South Dakota State this weekend to face off with the Jackrabbits. That game is a scheduled for a 2:05 p.m. kickoff.

Sycamores finish 1-1 in weekend conference play Shelby Young Reporter

ISU vs. Bradley University Indiana State University women’s volleyball team defeated Bradley University 3-2 (29-27, 21-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-13) Friday night.

In set one, ISU took the lead after breaking a tie score at 3 with a rally that ended with a kill from sophomore outside hitter Monique Morris assisted by sophomore setter Loni Mackinson. ISU was winning set one 19-12 before Bradley started to catch up. The Braves came back to tie the score at 23-23, then had a service error that put ISU back in the lead at 2423. The score tied four more times before junior outside hitter and right side Morgan Dall broke the last tie at 27 with a kill assisted by Mackinson, putting the Sycamores in the lead 28-27. An attack error by Bradley ended the set 29-27, ISU. “We didn’t always have control of the first game, and our thing is we want to make sure we maintain control,” Traci Dahl, ISU women’s volleyball head coach said. “We pulled off that first game, but the thing about it is we were up by a good lead, and we let them crawl back, and we can’t let that happen.”

Set two and three did not end in favor of the Sycamores. Bradley got a far lead in the second set, but ISU kept fighting. ISU was down 12-22 but had two back-to-back rallies that brought their score up to 21-23. The rallies included four kills from Dall and one kill from freshman middle blocker Samantha Kersting. ISU came close but not close enough; Bradley finished the set out with two kills ending the score at 21-25, Bradley.

The Sycamores jumped to a 6-1 lead in the third set, including a service ace by Kersting.

ISU remained in the lead until the score was tied at 20 where Bradley took over. ISU’s final two points came from a Bradley service error and senior middle blocker Stacy Qualizza’s kill assisted by Morris. The set ended 22-25, Bradley.

Even though Bradley scored the first point, ISU gained back control on the fourth set and never lost the lead. It was a close game and tied three times.

“Fourth game, I think we were all just angry, we knew we could win,” Morris said. “I think we went into the fourth set with the mindset we’re not going let any balls drop, we’re going to put these balls away, we’re going to definitely block them. So we went into it with confidence, and that definitely played to our advan-

tage,” said Morris.

Morris shut down the Braves with two kills in a row, assisted by Mackinson, ending set four’s score at 25-21, ISU. ISU and Bradley went into set five tied 2-2; it was anyone’s game.

ISU was down 4-9 in the fifth set. The Sycamores stepped up and had a five-point rally getting them within one. Bradley lost the lead after five consecutive errors putting the score at 14-13, ISU. The Sycamores finished off the Braves with a kill from Dall assisted by Mackinson, ending set five at 15-13, ISU. “In the fifth set being down like that, that showed true heart, and I felt that we had some key players that were new to the lineup that stepped up,” Dahl said.

ISU had 69 kills on the night. Morris broke her career high once again with 22 kills. Kersting had a career high as well with 10 kills.

Mackinson led in assists with 58, and senior defensive specialist Kiya James led with 27 digs.

“Fourth game, I think we were all just angry, we knew we could win. I think we went into the fourth set with the mindset we’re not going, let any balls drop, we’re going to put these balls away, we’re going to definitely block them.”
