NEW TICKETING SYSTEM AIMS TO PACK STUDENT SECTION Jordan Power Contributor
SNEAK PEEK
There is now a new and improved way to receive student tickets for Kennesaw State home football games. To be eligible for free tickets, students must currently be enrolled in classes for the fall 2017 semester and have paid the athletics fee covered in their tuition. This excludes Tuition Assistance Program enrollees, military veterans and senior citizens that are full-time students and do not pay the athletics fees.
Students must go to ksuowls.com/fbclaim and sign in with their KSU email or student ID to claim tickets. Students must use their school email or the system will not recognize them as students. Once on the page, select “Athletics Tickets,” then “Football” from the main menu. From there, choose the football game is being played that week and a $0.00 student ticket option will appear. Students can choose to
print or present the ticket on a mobile device upon arrival to the stadium. Students can pick up a parking pass at the Student Life Center but are limited to one per student. Tickets will be available online at 8 a.m. the Monday of each game week. Students have the opportunity to get their free tickets throughout the week if they are still available.

A new construction project awaiting approval from the Board of Regents will help alleviate the pressures of KSU’s growing population, according to university officials. The Office of the Registrar reports that more than 35,000 students enrolled during the 2016-2017 school year, and many students are concerned that the school does not have available space for the rising population. A new facility called the Academic Learning Center, or ALC, will address this issue. According to Craig VanDevere, a director of University Facilities Services, the goal of the center is to create a space where a variety of departments can collaborate in a singular unit for student assistance. VanDevere said the ALC, one of several construction projects on the university’s wish list, will house offices for University College, the Department of Foreign Languages, the Coles College of Business, the Honors
College, the Center for Student Leadership and Career Planning & Development. It will feature a general tutoring center as well as foreign language tutoring. The building will also house classrooms that all departments will be able to use. VanDevere said the project has been in the works for the past decade, and the Board of Regents gave authorization two years ago to move forward on design funding. A design has been in the works for the past year. The next step is to get construction approved, which VanDevere hopes will be on the Board of Regents’ agenda next spring. If the proposal is approved, construction will begin in fall 2019. When construction is completed, the building will be located in what is now the lot north of the Student Center on the Kennesaw campus. The budget for the building is around $35 million.

NEW PARKING OPTIONS TO EASE COMMUTER WOES
Molly Fritz Contributor The Department of Parking and Transportation has announced a host of new changes this semester, which it hopes will address commuter complaints. Among the new options are parking permits for additional economy and shuttle lots, as well as an increase in the number and frequency of shuttles. A new bus route between U-Pointe and Stadium Village apartments and the Marietta campus will allow residents to bypass the Kennesaw campus entirely and go directly to the Marietta campuses for classes. According to the Parking and Transportation website, service begins at 6:45 a.m., with pickups every 35 to 40 minutes throughout the day. “It’s so important that there are incentives for students to use the shuttle lots or, if they live in a nearby apartment, to ride Big Owl Bus rather than drive to campus,” said Victoria Brock, president of the Student Government Association. “It’s more economical for students to do this. To build a deck on
campus would require that we increase the mandatory fee as much as $100 per semester.” Additionally, economy lots that were previously open as part of the East and West parking areas will now have their own designated parking permits. A West economy decal will allow commuters to park in the lot across from the First United Lutheran church on the campus loop road or in the church parking lot, but not in the actual West deck. Students with West decals can park in all three. Likewise, commuters with East economy decals can park in the Frey Road lot across from the East Parking deck.
CORRECTION: We originally reported in our recent story, “Opioid crisis affecting students at alarming rate,” that 3,000 students were registered for the Center for Young Adult Addiction and Recovery’s 12-step meetings. In fact, the number is 2,300, and it’s the number of incoming freshmen reached by the center’s peer education program last year.

5K SUPPORTS RECOVERY FOR ADDICTION, EATING DISORDERS Sabrina Kerns Staff Writer The Center for Health Promotion and Wellness hosted its tenth annual Run for Recovery 5K on Saturday, Aug. 26, at The Perch to kick off National Recovery Month and raise money for students in recovery. The event served as a fundraiser to contribute to several upcoming events, projects and regular professional staff and services focused on assisting students recovering from addiction or eating disorders. Sherry Grable, director of The Center for Health Promotion and Wellness, also recently accepted a mini-grant of $2,000 from the Georgia Council on Substance Abuse that will add to this funding. The grant serves to promote the societal benefits of prevention, treatment, and recovery for mental and substance abuse disorders, celebrating people in recovery and promoting the message that recovery is possible in our communities. Bethany Wheeler, a dietitian at The Center for Health Promotion and Wellness, said the money from both the event and the mini-grant will help fund other events. Two of those events are Love Your Body Week, a program
during National Eating Disorder Week in February aimed at promoting body appreciation and body diversity, and The Body Project, a selective eating disorder prevention program for people with body dissatisfaction. It will also provide funding for nutrition counseling, cooking demos, nutrition therapy and eating disorder recovery support services for students. The Run for Recovery also raises awareness of addiction and eating disorders amongst students and those in the community. Wheeler said there are currently 60 students in the KSU Collegiate Recovery Community who are in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder. According to the Eating Recovery Center, more than 30 million people in the U.S. will have an eating disorder, and over 70 percent of those with eating disorders will not seek treatment due to stigma, misconceptions, lack of education, diagnosis and lack of access to care. “The prevalence of substance use disorders is high and it is important for those with substance use issues to know they are not alone,” Grable said. “Run for Recovery is a way to
THE SENTINEL STUDENT CENTER, RM 162-B BLDG 5 395 COBB AVE NW KENNESAW, GA 30144-5591
bring organizations together to help educate the community and to provide and promote resources that support recovery.” Runners at the event were cheered on by Scrappy, KSU’s mascot, KSU cheerleaders and other members of the community as they crossed the finish line. At the awards ceremony, participants were also able to take photos with Scrappy and the cheerleaders. Kennesaw resident Harrison Kirigwi took first place, crossing the finish line in less than 16 minutes. Sandy Springs resident Bethany LeBlanc, who finished the race in less than 19 minutes, received the award for overall female runner. All other awards were given in separate age categories. The Center for Health Promotion and Wellness also added a one-mile walk option to the event this year in order to welcome people of all fitness levels from the community to the event. “The Run for Recovery is an ideal way to celebrate recovery by bringing families, communities and individuals of all ages and backgrounds together to celebrate the power of recovery,” Grable said. “Recovery emerges from hope and is fostered by respect.”

PHYSICIANS WARN STUDENTS OF DEADLY MENINGITIS STRAIN Lauren Leathers Staff Writer Four physician groups hand delivered a letter to University System of Georgia Chancellor Steve Wrigley encouraging him to recommend the new meningitis B vaccine to college students across Georgia. Four physician groups hand-delivered a letter on Aug. 17 to the University System of Georgia chancellor urging him to recommend a new meningitis vaccine to college students across Georgia. The Georgia State Medical Association, Medical Association of Georgia, Georgia Academy of Family Physicians and Georgia Chapter of the American College of Physicians strongly encourage young adults to become aware of a new, deadly
strain of meningitis called meningitis B. The letter reads, “On behalf of Georgia’s leading provider organizations and meningitis patient groups, we are writing to urge you to take action to help protect college students in our state from meningococcal disease – and in particular, meningitis B.” Meningitis B tends to spread in close quarters, making college campuses a hot spot for the disease to transfer. The meningitis vaccine is required by the state of Georgia for students who reside on campus, but the vaccination does not protect against the meningitis B strain. The new meningitis B vaccination is not currently on the list of required immunizations for admission
into KSU. The Meningitis Statement reads, “Georgia state law requires all students residing in university housing to receive information about meningococcal disease. All students residing in campus housing are required to either provide proof they have received the meningitis vaccine or provide a signed waiver acknowledging the risk to themselves and others of not receiving the meningitis immunization.” Dr. Eddie Richardson, boardcertified family medicine doctor and president of the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians, said he believes the meningitis B vaccine should be included in the required vaccines to be admitted in Georgia universities.
“This [disease] has such a devastating effect, it causes brain damage, hearing loss and even loss of limbs,” Richardson said. Dr. Sandra Fryhofer, boardcertified doctor of internal medicine and American Medical Association liaison to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, said there needs to be an increase of awareness of this vaccine. “Meningococcal B is rare, but it is deadly and each case is life threatening,” Fryhofer said. According to Dr. Fryhofer, there are about 50 recorded cases of meningitis B annually. Of those 50 cases, about five fatalities occur annually. She also said 80 percent of cases are in young adults, ages 16 to 23. “If we recommended this
vaccination for all college students, it would prevent nine cases a year and one death annually,” Fryhofer said, citing the The Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Richardson said side effects of receiving the vaccine tend to be mild and may include pain around the area of vaccination for a few days. “I think it would be well worth a little pain in my arm to save my life,” he said. According to the CDC, two vaccines are available, Bexsero and Trumenba, that adults between the ages of 16 and 23 can receive for short-term protection against most strains of meningococcal B disease.

‘HELICOPTER’ PARENTING IMPEDES INDEPENDENCE
Audrey Faulkner Contributor Overactive, or “helicopter,” parenting is harmful to both the independence and general wellbeing of a young adult’s immersion into the collegiate world. When children are young, an example of helicopter parenting would be not letting your children play outside for fear that they may fall and hurt themselves. For adults, this can range from parents accessing their child’s grades to dictating what they can major in, or even calling an interviewer about a job because their child was not hired. This overbearing, or helicopter, parenting style has emerged rapidly among families of current and rising college students. Good intentions usually lie behind the reasons why some parents do this — they do not want their children to fail — but this mentality can be harmful in the long term.
According to a Psychology Today article, “college-aged students whose parents are overly involved in their academic lives, or whose parents created rigidly structured childhood environments, are more l likely to experience anxiety and depression. They may also experience academic difficulties.” Students with overactive parents are usually given limited academic freedom and personal independence. Many don’t get jobs while in school because their parents financially support them, but this can reduce their professional experience, which is necessary for the current job market. Some students never learn how to do basic household chores or important life skills, like how to pay bills or how to drive, because of their parent’s involvement. Some may see this parenting style as helpful because the parents provide
financial support and are more involved than hands-off parents, but the results of this overactive parenting style can seriously hinder students when it comes to their independent and professional development. “Parents have a right to know how you’re doing if they’re paying for your school, but there is a line to how involved they should be,” junior biology major Ethan Campbell-Reid said. “Parents are responsible for making sure their children are developing healthy relationships with people. If they are over-imposing, they won’t be able to gain skills to form relationships.” It’s worth noting that this mentality can be different across many cultures. In some cultures, if a parent is financially supporting a child’s educational experience, they believe that they have a right to monitor and restrict activities for their children.
“In Nigeria, it’s the parent’s responsibility to see their children do well in college,” Chigozie Obonna, a junior electrical engineering technician, said. “If the parent can’t help, then they are to blame if their child is unable to go to college. It’s an investment for them.” Even so, students should be able to choose their own path and what they wish to do in life, preferably with the support from their parents, not control. This is not to say that parents should not help their children at all or never hold them accountable for their actions. It’s easy to understand the desire to watch your children succeed. Ultimately, the best way to help college students succeed is to let them learn to do things by themselves. It is important to grow from your mistakes rather than become accustomed to someone fixing your problems for you.
CLASS INTRODUCTIONS SHOULD INCLUDE PRONOUNS
Jessica Fisher Staff Writer With KSU’s implementation of “preferred name” changes this semester, it’s time to take the next step by including pronouns as part of class introductions. Most classes do not encourage students to share their pronouns as part of the class introduction, despite the fact that KSU now allows students to have their chosen name — what the university calls a student’s “preferred name” — across campus systems including D2L
Brightspace, DegreeWorks, Higher One BankMobile and Owl Express. This is not a new idea, as other universities have already made steps toward this implementation. A guide written by Dean Spade, associate professor of law at Seattle University, encourages those facilitating a group discussion to “ask people to identify their pronouns when they go around and do introductions.” According to The Record, the University of Michigan’s campus
newspaper, in September of 2016 the university began allowing individuals to designate their personal pronouns, which would automatically appear on class rosters. UM even encourages faculty to include a “gender inclusive statement” on their syllabi. As a part of this proposed change, professors should lead by example and include pronouns in their own introductions. Ohio University provides a pronoun guide, reminding its
faculty that “you can’t always know what someone’s PGP is by looking at them.” “PGP” usually stands for “preferred gender pronouns,” though “personal gender pronouns” is sometimes seen as more appropriate in the transgender community. A handout based on materials written by Mateo Median for Hampshire College is used by Central Connecticut State University to be sure faculty who are asking for personal pronouns as part of class introduction know that it
“means the pronoun you like to be referred to with.” With so many guides in place to help lead the way to the inclusion of pronouns in class introductions, it leaves little reason not to do so. While the concept of including pronouns in class introductions will take some getting used to, it will be well worth the effort for transgender and gender non-conforming students so that we can continue making our university more inclusive.

VIOLENCE, ABUSE
TOWARD MEDIA MUST END
Connor Zielke Staff Writer I’ve experienced, firsthand, the stigma against journalism and the media. The response when I tell someone my major — journalism — is usually the same: a mixed facial expression or a nervous gesture. Despite the current political climate surrounding the media, the world needs journalists, but the dangers present to all of us holding jobs in the media is a growing problem — one which should be unacceptable in our modern day. A woman’s body, confirmed by police to be late Swedish journalist Kim Wall, was found in the waters near Copenhagen, Denmark, on Aug. 21, according to an article in The Guardian. What remained of the body was only the torso — the legs, arms and head had been deliberately removed. Wall was reported
PAGE 6
missing on Aug. 11, after she failed to return from an interview with Danish inventor Peter Madsen on board his homemade submarine. This tragedy highlights one of the many dangers present in the media field. From accusations of “fake news” riling people up to corrupt government and dangerous assignments, journalists are constantly at risk. The solution is two-fold: first, awareness needs to be raised for journalists that have been actively targeted and murdered. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 48 journalists were killed in 2016, 36 of which were those covering war zones. The use of violence to silence the media can only work so long as it goes unnoticed.
Second, steps need to be taken to mend the rift between the public and the media. Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the media has been characterized as “fake” and untrustworthy. The labeling of the media as fake by our government is blatant fear mongering and only serves to discredit real news. If people are scared of pursuing journalism as a career, or news outlets can no longer freely report on major events without fear of government reprisal, it is the public that will suffer immensely. If the free press is allowed to be strongarmed and coerced, then the resulting publications will be the true “fake news.” The tactic of silencing opposition has been used by corrupt governments extensively to remove opposing
voices that would speak against them. More often than not, these premeditated murders are carried out with impunity. Raising awareness for every journalist lost to this horrific practice would be the first step toward ending it. The relationship between the media and the public is extremely important. Greater efforts need to be taken in order to maintain that trust so that information can be effectively disseminated. The rift between the media and the public is growing, and the stigma causing that rift must be broken. For the sake of the public, and the safety of journalists, the media cannot afford to lose any more of the public’s trust. When the media is labeled as “fake” by members of the current presidential
administration, it leads to people favoring only one news outlet. While this normally happens to a lesser extent due to the implicit political alignment each outlet has, the public needs to feel confident in trusting information from multiple sources in order to receive the truth from every possible angle, not just one viewpoint. Media will never die as an industry, but the dangers and challenges levied against us working in the field cannot be allowed to flourish. While the public should always be critical of the media they consume, they should be equally as critical toward those that would manipulate their perceptions for personal gain.
ASK THE EDITORS: .
“The First Amendment protects our words, not our lives. We should never have to fear doing our jobs, and increased stigma against the media doesn’t do anything to help the situation.”
Rebekah Fuchko, opinion editor
“Journalists like Kim Wall knowingly risk their lives every day to make the world a better place. Now more than ever, they need respect and love from the people they are serving.”
“A major lack of protection and recognition for journalists is present in the context of war reporting. The public must better respect and act on the reporting from those journalists.”
Cory Hancock, editor-in-chief
Alex Patton, managing editor
“My heart goes out to the families that have lost loved ones due to hate. Journalists reporting the truth should enjoy impunity. Without us, there’s no way to hold the powerful accountable.”
Darrin Hypsher, sports editor
”Journalism is a civil service — it’s how we safeguard a democracy that can’t exist without an informed public. But where there are journalists telling the truth, there will always be those who fear that truth.”
Madeline McGee, news editor
“As someone who publishes journalists’ content on social media daily, I know critical feedback is inevitable, but despite the public’s opinion on news being objectively reported, the protection of journalists should always come first.“
Abbie Bythewood, engagement director
“Rhetoric that paints journalists as frauds and enemies of the state signals to violent, oppressive regimes that even the United States, a supposed beacon of freedom, considers journalism an extinguishable nuisance.”
Ryan Basden, photo editor
“Prosecution of the media is, in essence, prosecution of the people’s right to information.”
Raychle Wilkinson, arts and living editor
“As members of this society, awareness is one of our most powerful tools. It should be of the greatest importance to protect and support those that provide us with the privilege to be informed and educated about the world around us.” .

IMMIGRATION, INTEGRATION EXPERT TO VISIT CAMPUS Taylor Smith Staff Writer The founder and executive director of Welcoming America, a global immigrantwelcoming movement, will be making his way to Kennesaw State Sept. 12. David Lubell founded the Decatur-based company Welcoming America in 2009, and the organization now works in over 160 cities nationwide, according to its website. In recent years, Welcoming America has developed a working partnership with KSU’s Transnational Research and Engagement in Diverse
Societies chapter. TRENDS Global’s pilot student chapter at KSU has helped set up many events on campus, including Lubell’s talk. Lubell will speak about his national and international work. “KSU wanted to bring in a well-known international expert to speak with the students,” said Darlene Rodriguez, an assistant professor of social work and human services in nonprofit management at KSU. “David has started a movement, and this speech could serve as a catalyst or spark for students with their
own ideas.” “Welcoming Week,” a week designed to highlight the benefits of welcoming every member of society, begins Sept. 15. It involves an annual series of events that bring together immigrants and U.S.born residents. Lubell’s presence serves as an opportunity to kick-off “Welcoming Week” with an official face of Welcoming America and brings that conversation to campus. “Hopefully we can plant our own seed in KSU and till it and
make it a fertile place to grow,” Rodriguez said. “This will give students information on how we make campus a more welcoming and more inclusive environment.” Lubell will be on campus meeting with KSU staff throughout the day. They will speak about the campus’ social climate, welcoming immigrant students and the goal of making campus communities more welcoming to immigrants. Rodriguez believes colleges are a reflection of society as a whole.
“Campus communities are being challenged with current events in the world,” Rodriguez said. “We want to figure out what it takes to be a welcoming university.” Rodriguez hopes KSU will be ranked as a top welcoming university one day. Lubell’s talk will take place in Prillaman Hall in HF 1000 on the Kennesaw campus, but the location is subject to change based on the expected turnout. After the talk, Lubell will hold an informal Q&A.

INNOVATIVE COOKING DEMOS INSPIRE HEALTHY EATING Jaime Blei Staff Writer Health Promotions and Wellness offers a hands-on cooking experience taught by registered dietitians. Located in the Student Recreation and Activity Center on the Kennesaw campus, Health Promotion and Wellness inspires healthy lifestyles with its innovative cooking demonstrations. The creative culinary minds behind their savvy recipes are registered dietitians Barbara Oldham and Bethany Wheeler, who promote healthy, affordable lifestyles with a variety of nutritious meals and flavors to boost culinary
confidence in the kitchen. There are five cooking demonstrations scheduled for the fall semester that will begin with “Knot Your Average Alfredo” on Sept. 11. “I’m confident in the kitchen but never understood how to make a balanced meal,” said Andrew Connard, senior journalism major and health communications intern for Health Promotion and Wellness. “These cooking demonstrations provide easy and affordable recipes designed for college students.” The planning for each cooking demonstration involves
several hours of creating recipes, practicing cooking demonstrations and modifying meal plans. The idea behind each cooking demonstration is to help students become more confident with their cooking skills through easy recipes with low-cost ingredients and equipment. The lesson plans of each cooking demonstration are taught with the objective that healthy cooking is not difficult. Basic culinary skills are provided during each cooking demonstration to encourage students to cook more creatively at home. Simple
recipes promote a student’s confidence in the kitchen and expose them to an extensive variety of flavors, Wheeler said. The cooking demonstrations influence students to eat well-balanced meals by providing them with a variety of inexpensive flavors and nutritional food combinations. The aroma of fresh vegetables and proteins are explored as students prepare the authentic recipes devised by Oldham and Wheeler. “There are 12 students per demonstration so that everyone can have a hands-on experience,” Oldham said. “The
main goal is to provide students with the cooking skills to make more nutritious meals at home.” The cooking demos will continue throughout the semester with “Keep Calm & Curry On,” “Fall Fare,” “Ridin’ Solo: Meals For One” and “Flavors of the World.” Students who are interested in participating in the cooking demonstrations can register by calling 470-578-6394. The semester’s calendar of events and services offered by Health Promotion and Wellness can be found at their website.

ZUCKERMAN HOSTS SUPERNATURAL EXHIBIT Chandler Smith Staff Writer A new exhibit called “Medium” will begin haunting the Zuckerman Museum of Art on Aug. 29. The exhibit, co-curated specifically for the ZMA by director Justin Rabideau and curator Dr. Teresa Bramlette Reeves, explores the concept of the ghost story and its function in different cultures. “Ghosts and ghost stories have this really interesting place in society,” Rabideau said. “Ghosts have this incredible opportunity to give us a way to talk about things that not only tantalize us but also make us uncomfortable or unsettled.” The connection with the spiritual or supernatural affected the types of pieces featured in the exhibit. The works were created in a multitude of styles and mediums to create the overall tone of the exhibit, allowing for the discussion of the supernatural to develop before the viewer’s eyes. “There are a variety of works in ‘Medium,’ ranging from sound installations to photographs, paintings, archival objects and videos,” Reeves said. “All of the work interprets a kind of communication with the unknown — what one senses, believes, or projects.” “The combination of these very different works highlights ways in which artists have explored, documented and
tried to understand these amorphous sensations around us,” Reeves further said. “Medium,” like most of the ZMA’s exhibits, was created specifically with Kennesaw State students in mind. “We seek to develop shows that will create a sense of wonder about the creative process, engage the students by supplementing and enhancing their course work and create a space that is uniquely special and fun,” Rabideau said. “At its heart, the ZMA is a laboratory for the KSU students. It is a place to discover the wonderful heights of human creativity and the power of visual culture.” The ZMA will hold a special reception for the exhibit on Sept. 16. Shana Robbins — one of the artists featured in the exhibit — will be giving a special live performance, along with snacks and live music. “Receptions at the museum are a great way to experience art and the museum. The broader community will be around and it is really just a big party,” said Katy Malone, ZMA outreach and education manager. “While most of the art is here all the time, the reception is the only chance you’ll have to see [Robbins] in action.” “Medium” will be available to view for free through December 3.

Ticketing System Continued from pg. 1
Student guest tickets will go on sale on Wednesdays. These are $10 tickets for nonKSU students to sit in the student section. “There’s no more lottery, there’s no more anxiety, there’s no more ‘if.’ It’s just ‘do I get [a ticket] or not,’” said Director of Annual Giving and Ticketing Bobby Lindsey. When showing up to the game with a ticket, students must have their KSU ID present. Arrive no later than 10 minutes before the start of the game or your ticket can be given away to someone in the standby line. However, not everyone in the standby line will receive a ticket. The goal is to have a packed student section throughout the whole game to cheer the football team on to victory. The first home football game of the season is Saturday, Sept. 9, against Tennessee Tech University at 7 p.m.
Students must go to ksuowls.com/fbclaim and sign in with their KSU email or student ID to claim tickets.

WOMEN’S GOLF SEEKS REDEMPTION Taylor Smith Staff Writer

While last year’s third-place finish at the ASUN Championship was a bit of a disappointment, head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said the women’s golf team is using last season’s shortcomings as this season’s motivation. “With the experience we do have [in addition to] the incoming athletes, I feel really good about the team moving forward,” coach Brinsmead said. The Owls finished last season by placing top five in six of their last seven events. Brinsmead believes two new golfers, junior Roanne Tomlinson and freshman Kwan Wongsinth, are just what the women’s golf team needs to get back to the ASUN Championship.
The team also welcomed a new assistant coach in Eric Croux. According to the KSU Owls website, Croux joined the program on June 26. He previously worked at the Marietta Country Club as an assistant golf professional. “He has a really deep experience in many facets of the game,” Brinsmead said. “I’m very excited to have him on the coaching staff.” For years the women’s golf team did not have a captain. Coach Brinsmead has consistently promoted a team culture to show the athletes that they were all one unit, but she had to make an exception for senior Henriette Nielson. Originating from Sorø, Den-
mark, Nielsen has been in the spotlight since her freshman season, being named the 2015 ASUN Conference Freshman of the Year and earning a spot on the ASUN Second Team AllConference list last season. “She’s earned that right, really just with the person she is and her relationship with the coaches,” Brinsmead said. “I trust her and it’s really been great watching her step up and take on that leadership role.” The women’s golf season begins at the Lady Paladin Invitational on Friday, Sept. 22, at the Furman Golf Course, but coach Brinsmead is looking forward to hosting the Henssler Intercollegiate on March 26 at the Pinetree Country Club.

After a competitive weekend, the KSU soccer team remains unbeaten after a 0-0 draw against Georgia Southern University on Friday, Aug. 25, and a 2-0 win against Mercer University on Sunday, Aug. 27. Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Tiffany Sornpao now has two clean sheets in her first two collegiate starts, holding both GSU and Mercer goalless, while making 13 saves in the two games combined. Eight saves from Sornpao, coupled with a staunch defensive effort, helped the Owls keep GSU scoreless. The game ended in a stalemate despite KSU outshooting GSU 21-19. “It was another battle tonight against a good physical opponent,” head coach Benji Walton told KSUOwls.com. “I thought it was the best our team has defended all year. We had some great looks but just needed to be a bit more composed on our finishes.” Walton’s team found its composure against Mercer in Sunday night’s 2-0 win.
Senior Ida Hepsoe scored her first goal of the season in the 28th minute on a cross from fellow senior Ashtah Dah. The Owls then scored on a penalty kick just 10 minutes later, which senior Abby Roth had no problem hammering into the back of the net, increasing the Owls lead to 2-0. The defenders showed their strength and made sure Tiffany Sornpao had less work to do than she did against GSU. However, she still made five saves and kept a second consecutive clean sheet. “I am proud of our team’s fight this weekend,” Walton said in the post-game press conference. “We have been really working on being more organized and to get two shutouts this weekend was huge for our young team. We want to keep building from here as our schedule will only get more difficult as the season continues.” KSU returns for its home opener Friday, Sept. 1, against Morehead State University with a considerable amount of momentum.

VOLLEYBALL WINS SEASON OPENER Darrin Hypsher Sports Editor
Kennesaw State plays Troy University on Sunday, Aug. 27. The volleyball team kicked off the new season by unveiling its 2016 ASUN Regular Season Champions banner and with a 3-1 win over Troy University on Sunday, Aug. 27. The Owls came out sluggish in the first set, trailing Troy until a late comeback allowed KSU to tie the score at 23-all. Troy still managed to win the first set 2523, but after that, it was all KSU. The second, third and fourth sets were a different story for KSU as head coach Keith Schunzel led the Owls in sealing the season opening victory.
“This was our first match of the year and no matter how much you simulate in training, the match is going to feel different,” Schunzel said. “I’m proud of our guys. We were ready to play and once we got through that first set we played a great match.” Senior Aniah Boyer and junior Maddie Jones came up big for KSU. Boyer was relentless on the attack, racking up 15 kills while Jones, a defensive specialist, was essential to holding Troy to a .047 hitting percentage total for the match. The team will hit the road for

its Tuesday, Aug. 29 matchup against Clemson University. Losing 14 out of its last 15 matches last season, Clemson is looking to start fresh with a new head coach in Michaela Franklin. “Clemson has struggled the last couple of years, but they have a couple of nice left sides,” Schunzel said. “They’ll be plenty to handle, so we’ll have to show up.” The Owls have three more away games after they play Clemson on Aug. 29. They return to the Convocation Center to play Georgia State on Monday, Sept. 4.

HOCKEY SHOOTS FOR NATIONALS Cole Metcalfe Contributor
The club ice hockey team poses after an early Saturday morning practice on Aug. 26. With the majority of last season’s roster returning, and depth at all positions, KSU’s club ice hockey team looks to dominate in the regular season. Fans should be on the lookout for veteran players Devin Bousquet, David Kurns and team captain Wes Davis. These three impact players are prepared to lead the Owls to nationals. The last time KSU’s club ice hockey team won the national championship was in 2007, over 10 years ago. “It’s my last season, so I want
to win a national championship,” said senior forward Alex Dolhon. “The team did it in ‘07, and we are looking to get back there this year.” Getting to nationals will not be easy, as the team faces some tough opposition from its rivals the University of Georgia, the University of Florida and the University of Tennessee. “Two years ago we beat [UGA] and last year we lost to them, so we’re looking to get revenge,” said Dolhon. “That’s our rival as you know, so we’re looking to get a big win over [UGA] when we play them at the
