Saturday’s shooting suspect seized KRISTI ASHBY News Editor An ISU student was arrested Sunday in connection with a shooting that happened on campus Saturday evening. Calvin McCauley, a student from Indianapolis, was arrested on a preliminary charge of attempted murder for shooting Tevin Moore. Around 6 p.m. on Saturday, a call was made reporting that a student had been shot near Lincoln Quad residential housing. University Police believe that the victim and McCauley knew each other before the incident and were together the day of the shooting only one hour before the altercation. Moore, a 20-year-old student at Indiana State also from Indianapolis, was shot in the left buttock. He was transferred to Union Hospital and had surgery Sunday to remove the bullet. He is expected to make a full recovery. There was one shot heard, and a bullet casing and one live round were found at the scene. The gun used at the scene SHOOTING CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Flames extinguished Indiana State football downs nationally ranked Liberty University
ALEX MODESITT Editor-in-Chief The Indiana State Sycamore football team defeated the No. 22 ranked Liberty Flames on Saturday, 38-19 in front of 7,315 raucous fans at Memorial Stadium. The win improves the Sycamore’s record to 3-1 and gives ISU football its first victory over a top-25 team in its last four tries. The 3-1 start also gives the Sycamores their best start since the 2011 season. Liberty’s record falls to 3-2 on the season and the lopsided loss will likely drop them out of the top 25. Senior quarterback Mike Perish led
the attack on offense for the Sycamores, connecting on 76 percent of his passes for 340 yards and three touchdowns. Perish also broke the school record for pass completions in a game with 39. The previous record was 33 and was held by Blayne Baggett, set in 2005 against Murray State. Perish has now thrown for more than 300 yards in each of his last three games, becoming the first quarterback in Indiana State history to do so. Perish’s efforts didn’t go unnoticed, as Head Coach of Indiana State Football Mike Sanford praised his
quarterback’s performance. “Mike is very confident in the offense, he knows exactly what to do and he knows where to go with the football,” Sanford said. “I have a lot of respect for Mike.” Perish, however, diverted most of the praise to his teammates. “Our receivers are doing a great job getting open, the offensive line is doing a great job of protecting and we’ve got a solid run game to open up the pass game,” Perish said. “I think Coach is doing a great job of FOOTBALL CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The unseen costs of the Yik-Yak Attack Steve Wininger Reporter The shooting threat posted on a website and threatening note found in a bathroom in University Hall on Aug. 17 and 18 caused the university to incur costs that would not have otherwise occurred. There are many costs from the shooting threats on those two days that are difficult to put a dollar amount on or that may not turn up on a financial statement. The campus police department had to call in additional officers to assist in investigating the threats and to increase the patrols on campus. The Terre Haute Police Department, The Vigo County Sheriff ’s Department and the Indiana State Police assisted by patrolling the outer areas of campus. Chief of Indiana State university police Joseph Newport was at school the day of the threat. “There were additional campus police called in,” Newport said. “I don’t have
the exact figures as far as costs, but place on campus, the library still had a there were extra officers on duty from great turnout.” just before midnight on the 17th until It is difficult to know if the events that around midnight on the 18th.” were unfolding that day affected the The only thing Newport could say as turnout of the extravaganza. far as what extra was used was that “it “Maybe we would have had an increase was a moderate increase above what of a thousand had it not been for the they normally have on staff and that threats, but we did have an increase the moderate increase in in attendees,” said officers was for a period Middleton. of just over 24 hours.” One cost that a “I cancelled classes for balance Library event sheet or coordinator Dara a day, not because I felt financial statement Middleton had expected any danger, but because may not depict more growth at the correctly, if at all, is library extravaganza, so many of my students that of the classes that did.” which happened cancelled. the same day as the Some classes Tamara Arrington bathroom note. cancelled and some “The library students were too extravaganza that took afraid to go to class place on the 18th had an increase in and chose to either stay home, away attendance of approximately 200,” from campus or in their dorms. Middleton said. Although students were not being “The extravaganza has been growing penalized for missing class, there is a every year, and in light of what had taken cost of having to make up the time lost
in the classroom. Professor Tamara Arrington of the College of Arts and Sciences said, “There is always a cost for students missing class. Students need consistency and contact hours. Every cancelled class is a bite out of the product we offer.” Additional costs that do not necessarily show up in finances are those of fear and anguish felt by students as well as some faculty. “I cancelled my classes for a day, not because I felt any danger, but because so many of my students did,” Arrington said. “I was getting messages from students that were not asking if there is going to be class, but that we are too afraid to come to class.” One such student was junior fashion design major Donnika Walker. “I decided not to go to class because I was uncertain about what was going on and I feared for my safety,” Walker said. “I would feel safer with an increase of patrols around campus and more of a police presence after this hoax.”
WISU adds new changes to station Makyla Thompson Reporter On Saturday, Indiana State University’s radio station will be presenting their first-ever a pregame radio show before the football game at Memorial Stadium. After moving to a new location earlier this semester among other changes, WISU has begun working on adding new programming. Max Slizewski, the student station manager for the school radio and a junior communication major, is very excited about the new changes with the radio station. “We’re very excited for the opportunity,” Slizewski said. “It’s something we haven’t done before; we broadcast all the home football games on the radio station that is now
Z90.7. It’s giving us a new opportunity to interact with fans, promote our new brand and just get out there and make ourselves visible at large Indiana State events,” Slizewski said. Richard Green, the radio manager at Indiana State University, was also excited about the future of the radio station. “This is our first tailgate of the season. Hopefully we will get to do more,” Green said. “The radio station would like to be able to broadcast at homecoming this year.” Not only is the radio going to be broadcasting from the tailgate, but they will also be playing live music for fans. “We also will be doing a sports extra, which is a sport show that runs every Wednesday,” Green said.
“They will also have a sports extra edition for the homecoming game, which will be running from 2:15 p.m. up until kickoff.” Slizewski said the radio station has been super busy since the change. “We have the next three weekends booked,” said Slizewski. “We’re trying to increase the visibility on campus and off of campus as much as we can.” The radio station is planning to be at all the big events, which include family day, tailgating and marching in the Homecoming parade this year. In order for things to change, everyone has to be on the same page so that things can get done the right way, and that’s exactly what the ISU radio station crew had to go through. “Our first step was to keep everybody
on board and informed about what was actually happening,” Slizewski said. Indiana State University’s radio station music and other content will still be the same, though the frequency has changed. It was on 89.7, but they are now broadcasting on 90.7 WZIS. “Nothing really changed, besides our radio frequency,” said Slizewski. “We still play the valley’s best variety, and we still have our specialty shows.” Jasmine Forbes, a junior athletic training major, thinks that this will be helpful to students and people in the area who want to know what is going on when they have to miss a game. “It will be a good way for those Sycamore students who can’t make it to the game to be able to hear it,” Forbes said.

a .380 caliber handgun, but was not in McCauley’s possession when he was arrested. Officials on the scene said the shooting occurred while the victim was leaving the building, at the base of stairwell 17 in Lincoln Quad. Joseph Newport, the chief of police, held a press conference at 9:30 p.m. in his office at the Public Safety Department. “The victim has not been forthcoming with information on the incident,” Newport said. “We are still investigating the shooting and will give more information as we are informed. The victim was walking to his room and opening his door when shot.” Officials do not believe that the previous threat posted on Yik Yak and the shooting were connected. They believe that the shooting had an intended target, Moore. “I believe that these incidents have led to more practice at emergency events,” Newport said. “If people behave themselves then they are less likely to become a target of a violent crime.” This incident led to restricted access on

When arrests are made, they are always aggressively pursued in the local courts of Terre Haute and Vigo County and in our student conduct process.” McCauley is scheduled to appear in court on Monday at 1:30 p.m. The initial court appearance is to decide if there is sufficient evidence to call for changes against McCauley and to decide on a bail amount. Indiana State University police are currently looking for the weapon used in the attack and planned to have a search warrant for McCauley’s car Sunday night.

Mike Bolden running for Indiana State Treasurer The office of State Treasurer typically does not draw much attention from the public or the media. However with Richard Mourdock — a former Republican candidate for U.S. Senate who came under scrutiny for his controversial comments on rape and abortion — resigning Political Columnist from the office with four months remaining in his term and a race underway, the office is gaining some notoriety. Republican candidate Kelly Mitchell, who worked under Treasurer Mourdock, is being challenged by Democratic candidate Mike Boland, who reached out to the Statesman for an interview. In this election cycle, Boland is arguably an untraditional candidate for Indiana office. Prior to his work in politics, with a Master’s degree and credits towards a Ph.D., Boland worked as a government and history educator for thirty years. Later, he served in the Illinois legislature for sixteen years and in 2012, ran for Illinois Lieutenant Governor. Convinced that his political career had ended, Boland and his wife retired in Fishers, Indiana to be closer to their family. “Then I started reading the newspaper,” said Boland, a habit that spurred him to reactivate his political career because he saw that Indiana “was not living up to its potential.” Coming from the Democrat-controlled

Illinois to Indiana where there is a Republican supermajority in the General Assembly, Boland has been working with Indiana Democrats to “restore balance” to the political process. According to Current, a local newspaper in Fishers, Indiana, Democratic Party Chairman John Zody explained that Boland has the public service experience to be State Treasurer and knows that Indiana “can and must do better” and will be a “problem solver at the Statehouse.” The primary task of the State Treasurer is to oversee the investment of Indiana funds and to obtain a high rate of return on those investments. Boland’s policy platform includes his Indiana First initiative, in which he would safely invest more funds in Indiana, contrary
to Mourdock who Boland accused of focusing “investment on Wall Street.” With Boland’s experience as chair of the Financial Institutions Committee in Illinois, he would like to take an innovative approach to the Treasurer’s office with programs that would incentivize banks that have state funds to create low interest loans for college students, farmers and small businesses. Boland explained that his platform is great for college students not only because of his Indiana First Initiative, but that college students and their families will also benefit from Indiana’s 529 savings plans. Boland said that Mourdock “didn’t promote investment in the 529 plan.” The 529 plan is a program designed to encourage families to begin college funds
for their children early with a series of tax credits. Boland asserted that he would “not only promote it,” but he would “expand it.” Though Boland’s platform is impressive, his Democratic label could hinder him in the election and at the Statehouse. When asked how he would fit into the Pence Administration, Boland noted that his approach “is about good government,” and that he hopes that his agenda won’t be blocked for partisan purposes. However, in the event that his initiatives are halted, Boland simply stated that he would “take it to the people” to spur support. Aside from his party, another obstacle for Boland is his lack of public service experience in Indiana. Critics of Boland have suggested that a “home-grown” candidate would be a logical choice. Despite this, Boland asserted his Illinois record as being appropriate for Indiana and mentioned his goal to increase Indiana funds with proper investment and cited Mourdock’s weak 0.91 percent return on investment of state funds. Mike Boland faces challenges in this election; however, his message is one that can appeal to millions of Hoosiers. During the 2012 election, Glenda Ritz’s candidacy for Superintendent of Public Instruction was dismissed by many because she is a Democrat; despite this, her platform had wide appeal and ultimately got her elected. With more aggressive campaigning that will allow Hoosiers to know Mike Boland and his platform that emphasizes education and higher revenue for Indiana, he could certainly be elected as the next Treasurer.

Studies show that AB blood is not A-OK
Apparently it just sucks to have type AB blood. Back in 2012, a study was done that revealed that those with the blood type AB were more likely to develop coronary heart disease than those with type O by a full 23 percent; and now they’re more likely to lose their memory as Columnist well. A study held in the American Academy of Neurology journal revealed that while those with type AB are only 4 percent of the country, they are also 82 percent more likely to have cognitive memory issues. The study was a part of a different study, called The Reasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Strokes, also called the REGARDS study, which took over three years and was conducted on 30,000 people. Of those taking part,
Jake Porter
1,082 people did not have any cognitive or memory issue from the start and 495 developed cognitive issues. Of the 495, 6 percent had a blood type of AB. This revelation did not go into any attempts to find a connection with those of certain blood types and the cause of the memory loss itself, offering little advice in preventative measures outside of the usual ‘don’t smoke, eat healthy and exercise.’ It was also discovered that those with high levels of Factor VIII were 25 percent more likely to have cognitive problems as well. Factor VIII is a protein that assists in clotting blood. Unsurprisingly, those with blood type AB were found to have high levels of Factor VIII. Other things that increase the risk of dementia and other cognitive issues are high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure. While fascinating, what does this study actually mean for those of us who aren’t the researchers trying to justify their
jobs? Unless you have blood type AB, it means nothing in the immediate sense. However, if neurologists can continue to discover such things via studies about blood types, many medical issues could potentially never exist for some folks. Think about it; if we could learn how to determine what blood types are more likely to get so-and-so disease, then their parents or doctors can treat the child or infant with preventative measures and maybe keep the disease from ever hitting the individual. Obviously, I’m kind of jumping the gun. All this research has shown is who is more likely to get a type of disease, not who actually is going to contract it or what will cause it. That kind of technology and research is still a bit out of our reach. Maybe I’m just crazy, but I remember watching the movie “Gattaca” in Biology class in high school and being fascinated by the concept of being able to figure out what traits children are going to have before they’re even born.
We’ve got a bit of time before that can even happen, and even then the whole point of the movie was to present an allegory for eugenics and fascism. The idea of being able to prevent terrible diseases from happening is surely something to strive toward. I doubt any kind of study could reveal personality type by blood type. These kinds of studies can only predict so much, and that’s when it comes to diseases. However, if applied to other medical issues, maybe a recurring blood type or issue could be found in those who contract a certain type of cancer or mental disorder. A connection could help us figure out how to treat and even prevent these diseases and disorders. This is all just brainstorming, but that’s the general idea behind scientific studies — to find out everything we can and try to help the world with the power of knowledge.
Childhood failure a key to adulthood success As you sit in a desk, painstakingly making your way through yet another class, you imagine your future. Whether you want to be a nurse, a lawyer or a musician, you envision your future. You think about your future job, partner and even children. Columnist maybe Of course we would want our children to become successful and happy. What’s the problem with that? The problem is that nowadays we are only setting our kids up for failure. In order to create a successful life in our society, we need to learn how to fail. We don’t allow children to fail anymore. Instead of allowing them to mess up when they are young enough that it won’t ruin their lives, we teach our children they can get anything they want just by trying.
Zachery Davis
And that isn’t how the world works. Everyone is bad at something and good at something else. That is just the way we are as individuals. But when the time comes to focus on improving our weaknesses, we can no longer improve our strengths and we are stuck in a world where we only do what we are bad at. Our schools encourage this attitude. Even the sports teams are eliminating tryouts rather than denying kids who can’t play well. It’s okay to not want to hurt a child’s feelings, but there comes a point when honesty is more important. A child is better off learning early on that they are not suited for something than when they become an adult and wonder why they can’t get anywhere doing what they’ve always done. Now they can’t hone the skills they truly have because they wasted time on something that they can’t do. How does that help them learn and succeed? In China a set of exams determines
a child’s strengths. The scores children receive on these exams decide the course of education the child will receive throughout their years and eventually affect their role in society. This caters to a child’s strengths instead of letting them fail because they are weak at something. But in our culture we give all our children the idea that they can do anything they want just by being themselves, and sadly that isn’t true and it sets up the child for failure. That isn’t fair to the child. As little as it may seem to cater to one person’s weakness it is actually very harmful. Would you want a math instructor to teach an entire generation wrong because he doesn’t know what he is doing? Or have a cook who doesn’t know when food is done cooking? Doing something badly doesn’t limit the damage to their life; it hurts society as a whole. That math teacher could teach a future engineer wrong, then the roller coaster
they design could fall apart and kill dozens of people. Or the chef introduces a blight of E. coli to an entire population. It isn’t fair to our children or to ourselves. If we are raising our children wrong, what should we do? The best thing to do is let our children fail while they can. They need to learn how to fix what they mess up and how to keep going. We shouldn’t let them wait until it is too late to learn that failing happens, that it’s okay to do badly. If we don’t let them fail then they will never learn how to deal with their issues. But we can still help to teach them how to handle things when they do badly. One day, they will fail at something. After all, we are all human. But they need to learn that it is normal and that it can be fixed. So whether you want to have children of your own or help someone else raise theirs, learn to let them do badly. Don’t baby them; teach them how to fix something when they accidentally mess it up.

Stop and Serve provides service opportunity Mariah Lee Reporter Stop and Serve, a community service event, was held on Saturday as one part of Family Day. The event has students assemble kits and other little crafts for a quick service opportunity that will count toward a student’s community service hours. The Center for Community Engagement created Stop and Serve as an opportunity for students to help out their community. Brittney Gilman, a business administration grad student, said that Stop and Serve is a short community service event held every second and fourth Wednesday of the month that usually takes about fifteen minutes. Gilman also says that Stop and Serve is a lot more hands-on than other volunteer opportunities. “We usually have the students make things for people because Indiana State University is about experiential learning and hands-on learning and this makes students feel more connected,” Gilman said. Another volunteer and grad student, student affairs and higher education major Katherine Warren said that these care packages really brighten the day of the people that they give them to.

Second-annual NEDA walk raises eating disorder awareness Andrew Christman Reporter Indiana State University students, faculty, staff and Terre Haute community members gathered Saturday morning for the second annual National Eating Disorder Association walk. The walk, sponsored by NEDA and the ISU Student Counseling Center, was held to help raise awareness and funding to help those with eating disorders. A therapist of the Counseling Center, Melissa Grinslade, hoped that the walk would raise about the same amount of funds as the first walk did last year. “About 90 people came to the first walk last year,” Grinslade said. “We were hoping for about the same amount this year as last year because of family day taking place around the same time. Last year, we raised almost $4,000.” The goal for this year’s walk was to raise
about $3,000 for the cause. Those participating in the walk were required to pay an entrance fee which would act as a donation to NEDA. “For community members it cost $25, students were $15, and children were $10,” Grinslade said. “This donation would get walkers a free T-shirt.” There were several sponsored teams taking part, such as a group from the Counseling Center, various groups around campus, and the Master of Social Work Program. Teams taking part in the event could win prizes for their contributions. One such group was from Pan-Hellenic Greek. Senior nursing major Jordan O’Connor said, “The group of seven to 10 was there to support NEDA.” “There are lots that suffer from eating disorders that we don’t know about,”
O’Connor said. “This is one way we can show our support.” A group from MSW was also in attendance, consisting of graduate students Casey Craig, Erin McClellan and Nicole Nethery. “As social workers, we’re here to promote and advocate for NEDA,” Craig said. “This is MSW’s kind of kickoff event, so we’re probably going to continue coming as long as it is going on,” McClellen said. MSW is looking to attend other kinds of walks and groups that raise awareness, such as the Special Olympics this year. Student counselors such as Katie Lindner and Amanda McErlean volunteered their time to help out with the walk as well. “We’re mainly here to direct the route and make sure nobody gets lost,” Lindner said. “The walk is about a mile long and
it’s around ISU campus.” Both counselors encourage everyone to come out and participate next year. “This is a great event to come out to and raise awareness and support,” McErlean said. “It really helps when you can recognize the symptoms of an eating disorder and get help for it.” Grinslade provided information at the beginning of the walk about what NEDA does and the damage that eating disorders can cause. “We can’t win a war by ourselves,” Grinslade said. For more information about NEDA, visit http://www.nationaleatingdisorders. org.

Sycamore Cinema a way to spend the weekends Genese Zatkoff Reporter Students looking for a way to keep busy on weekends can turn to Indiana State’s Sycamore Cinema events, the most recent of which took place Friday. “I found out about the free movies on campus and ever since I’ve been hooked,” said freshman Felicia Belpasso, an elementary education major. Belpasso found out about the movies and has been dragging her friends to them ever since. “I prefer comedies or animated films but it’s hard to get [a] free movie that’s new and recent.” Romance, comedies or even animated films, Indiana State has it all. This week they showed “The Lego Movie” at 8 p.m. in Dede 1. Refreshments and popcorn were provided for students. All you had to do was swipe your student ID, find a place to sit and enjoy the movie. Associate director of campus life Ellen Malito has been showing box office hits one Friday of every month. She’s been in this position since February. If Malito isn’t showing a film you can usually catch one being played by the student union. This happens any day of the week and there’s still a variety of movies. One of the positives is that there aren’t any age restrictions. “I try to stay away from [graphic content] and of course nudity,” Malito said. Service Continued from PAGE 6
Riley Hospitals that included coloring books, playing cards and other goodies. Many students and families understand the connection between Family Day and making activity kits for children. Students such as Jody Stutz, a freshman business management major, felt the connection because she volunteered with a sibling. “I’m with kids and it’s nice to give them an opportunity to help other kids,” Stutz said. Other students like Emily Berger, a sophomore nursing major, like to volunteer at every Stop and Serve. “I try and participate in every Stop and Serve I see because I love volunteer work and helping those less fortunate
That being said, they still show a multitude of movies. “One of my favorite movies that they’ve played so far has been ‘Maleficent,’” said freshman and pre-vet major Bryanna Munsey. She has been to three of the movies so far this year, and says she can’t complain. Munsey says that one of the perks of going to the movies is the free stuff. They sometimes give away blankets to the first few students. “There’s free popcorn and drinks. I couldn’t possibly pass that down,” said Munsey. Although free stuff is always good, this event is a great way to bring the students together and keep them occupied during the weekends. Other students feel the same way. Senior marketing major Patrice Taylor has worked the since August and thoroughly enjoys the experience. “I think it’s really important for students to have something to do on the weekends. It’s an opportunity for them to interact.” Taylor promotes student activity on campus and hopes everyone can find something to do. Indiana State offers a wide variety of ways students can get involved, and this is just one of them. It is held in Dede I. There are signs and posters all around campus that advertise these events. Keep your eyes out, Sycamores. than me,” Berger said. The woman in charge of Stop and Serve, Heather Dalton Miklozek, said, “Stop and Serve is always held on Family Day so families can get a sense of what ISU is all about in regard to service and outreach.” At other events they make magnets, thank-you cards for firefighters or “whatever the need of the community is,” Miklozek said. Stop and Serve has been creating opportunities for three years. Since then, Indiana State University has been ranked number one in the nation for community service for the second year in a row.

Volleyball gets back on track Sycamores rebound to pick up two wins against MVC foes
Zach Rainey Reporter The Sycamore volleyball team got a much-needed boost this weekend. Having lost three matches in a row, Indiana State rebounded in a big way and picked up a pair of Missouri Valley Conference wins to go to 10-5 on the season and 2-2 in the MVC. Evansville Match The Sycamores won a fourth consecutive match over Evansville on Friday night in four sets, 25-17, 22-25, 26-24, 25-15. Bree Spangler tied her career-high with 22 kills and had a career-high .606 hitting percentage. She also turned in eight digs and two blocks. In set one, Indiana State pulled away from the Purple Aces on a combined four kills from Spangler and Thomas to take an early 11-5 lead. ISU got help on a pair of UE attack errors that extend its lead to 17-12. The Sycamores closed the set by a pair of kills from Spangler. The Sycamores trailed in the second set 14-9 but managed an attack that tied the set up at 18-18 until Evansville outscored ISU 7-4 the rest of the way to take a 25-22 set victory. The third set was close the whole way, but Cassandra Willis and Spangler came up big to help the Sycamores to take the set 26-24 and closed out the match in the fourth set. The Sycamores posted one of their single-best set hitting percentages with a .533 for a 25-15 win. The Sycamores committed just two attack errors and combined for three blocks in the final set, backed by seven kills from Spangler. Melody Burdette had a career night, turning in 15 kills. Kyla Thomas and Willis had 10 kills of their own as well, helping ISU post one of its best hitting percentages of the season with a .346. In the back row, freshman defensive specialist Danielle Waedekin got her first career start at libero to lead the match and posting a season-high with 13 digs. ISU led the evening in kills 63-50 while out-digging UE 43-28. Southern Illinois Match While ISU had recent success against its Friday night opponent, Saturday’s showdown against Southern Illinois presented a challenge. Not since 2011 had the Sycamores defeated the

Salukis, but the blue and white came through in a big way, besting their MVC foe 3-2. The Sycamores outlasted SIU in set one, thanks in part to eight kills from Spangler. All knotted up at 18-18, kills by Willis and Spangler helped ISU to a 23-19 advantage. Spangler helped close the set with another two attacks, combined with an SIU error on set point to win 25-22. The Salukis posted its best offensive output in set two, recording a .303 hitting percentage to win 25-23. SIU also held ISU to its lowest attacking percentage on the night as they hit just .188. The two teams played a tight third set, exchanging leads seven times and forcing 11 ties. With the score tied 17-17, a Thomas kill gave the Sycamores the lead for good. Three kills from Willis and one by freshman outside hitter Sarah Peterson helped the Sycamores take a 2318 lead.
Peterson would get Indiana State to set point while an SIU attack error led to a 25-20 win in set three. The fourth set was tight as well. The teams were tied 10-10, 14-14, 15-15, 16-16 and 22-22, until the Sycamores made three attack errors to help give the set to the Salukis. In a decisive set five, ISU was able to reach 10 points first on a kill by Peterson. A bad set by Willis would get SIU within two at 1210, but a service run by Bindernagel helped by kills from sophomore middle blocker Kynedi Nalls and Willis helped put the set away, 15-10. As a team, Indiana State hit .205, backed by senior middle blocker Kyla Thomas’s .455 hitting percentage. Thomas also led ISU with five blocks, including three solo, as it totaled nine on the night. Junior middle blocker Cassandra Willis also jolted the ISU attack, recording 17 kills. Indiana State resumes conference play at home Friday against MVC competitor Illinois State. Match time is slated for 7 p.m. at ISU Arena.

Sycamore soccer splits a pair of weekend matches
Game One The Indiana State women’s soccer team suffered a 2-0 loss to the Loyola Ramblers on Friday night at Memorial Stadium. The match was the conference opener for both schools. ISU drops to 2-6-3 on the season and 0-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference, while Loyola improves to 4-7 overall and 1-0 in the MVC. Brittany San Roman played all 90 minutes in net for the Sycamores. San Roman earned five saves during the match while allowing two goals. Monica Gonyo played a full match as the Loyola goalkeeper, turning in a four save performance. Offensively, ISU was led by sophomore Maddie Orf, who recorded five shots. Sydney Lovelace and Kate Johnson also added three shots for the Sycamores. Loyola was led by Jessica Bean, who tallied six shots during the match. Sammy Gage and Valerie Gonyo recorded the goals for the Ramblers and Shelby Koch earned an assist. Gage scored the first goal of the match for the Ramblers in the ninth minute. Koch took a free kick and played it into the box where Gage was able to beat San Roman. Valerie Gonyo’s goal occurred in the 80th minute when she laced a free kick to the top left corner from 21 yards out, following a foul by the Sycamores.

Game Two The Indiana State women’s soccer team got back in to the win column on Sunday as they took down IPFW by a score of 2-0. The Sycamores improve to 3-6-3 on the season, while IPFW drops to 2-8. Brittany San Roman earned her third shutout of the season, playing all 90 minutes and recording six saves in the match. Sam Pavlika played all 90 for the Mastodons, recording five saves and allowing two goals. Offensively for the Sycamores, Maddie Orf was the shot leader with eight. She also scored the first goal of the match to improve her season total to a team-leading five goals. Freshman Lauren Weigel added the other Sycamore goal while shooting four times. Sydney Lovelace added four shots; Kate Johnson and Maggie Richard recorded two each. ISU had 21 total shots in the match.
For IPFW, Kassidy Simpkins and Taylor Pavlika each shot twice, with one on goal. The Mastodons recorded eleven shots, with six being on goal. Nine different Mastodons recorded shots. Orf got back into the scoring column on Sunday in the 64th minute. Gaelen Stejbach played a ball into the box and Orf was on the receiving end, finishing from three yards out. In the 87th minute, freshman Lyana Burrink played a ball to Weigel about eight yards in front of the net and Weigel sent it past the keeper to add to the Sycamore lead. The offensive points are the first in the careers for Burrink, Weigel and Stejbach. ISU returns to action on Friday, Oct. 3, when they head to Springfield, Missouri to face the Bears of Missouri State in a Missouri Valley Conference matchup. Story by ISU Athletic Media Relations

calling the plays and we’ve worked hard to do well when those plays are called.” Not to be outdone by the offense, the Sycamore defense also turned in a praiseworthy performance. After getting gouged by Indiana’s run game in week one, the Sycamores have bowed their necks and not given up over 100 yards on the ground to any other opponent, and held a Liberty team that came into Saturday averaging over 176 rushing yards per game to just 33. Junior linebacker Connor Underwood recognized Liberty’s run game as a threat and knew they needed to shut it down. “That’s what we stressed all week is to stop the run. If we wanted to win this game the first thing we needed to do was stop the run,” Underwood said. “33 yards, that’s stopping the run I would say.” Underwood and sophomore defensive back Dejuan Lang were both instrumental to Indiana State’s defensive performance. Underwood had eight tackles on the day, but his biggest play came on a first-down play early in the third quarter. Underwood raced around the edge and stripped the ball out of Liberty quarterback Josh Woodrum’s hands, allowing it to be recovered by the Sycamores. Lang’s presence wasn’t felt in the form of tackles, as he finished the game with zero. Lang instead made impact plays in the passing game. Lang intercepted two passes to become the first Sycamore to do so since Johnny Towalid in 2012, and also broke up another pass attempt. The Sycamores were first to break into the scoring column with a 25-yard field goal from sophomore kicker Eric Heidorn. The field goal capped a 10-play, 67-yard drive that spanned the first four minutes of the game. After trading punts on the next two possessions, Liberty broke into the scoring column with a 22-yard field goal. The field goal was set up by a shanked, 23-yard punt from junior punter Osborn Umeh. Two possessions later, the Sycamores concluded a 10-play, 96-yard drive with a 17-yard strike thrown by Perish to junior wide receiver Gary Owens for a touchdown. The touchdown gave the Sycamores a 10-3 lead with just over 11 minutes to play in the second quarter.

On the ensuing drive, the Flames connected on a 79yard bomb. The big play quickly knotted the game up at 10 apiece. Leading 17-13, Perish took control of the Sycamore offense on their own 16-yard line with only three minutes until the half. Slinging passes around the field and racing against the clock, Perish eventually found sophomore wide receiver Robert Tonyan Jr. across the middle for a 14yard touchdown with only 10 seconds left in the half. Neither team was able to score in the third quarter, as both defenses forced the offenses into turnovers and three-and-outs.
A fumble by sophomore running back LeMonte Booker early in the third quarter was the first turnover of the season for the Sycamores. A Liberty touchdown in the fourth quarter was sandwiched by a pair of rushing touchdowns from the Sycamores. Perish punched it in himself on a one-yard scamper and senior running back Buck Logan crossed the goal line with under three minutes to play to make it 38-19. Indiana State continues a three-game home stand on Saturday against conference foe and nationally ranked Northern Iowa. Kickoff is set for 3:05 p.m.
