Couple’s CentrePointe project helps hospital By Kyle Bigelow
news@kykernel.com
Like scars can inspire a beautifully inked design, a local couple is using the infamous CentrePointe pit to turn a blemish into a blessing. Robert Alleyne, tattoo artist and co-owner of Charmed Life Tattoo on North Limestone, and Alicia Ortega, who also works at Charmed Life, created an online fundraiser last month to bring television rock group Mouse Rat to Lexington for a benefit concert poking fun at the long-suspended construction at CentrePointe. The crowd funding project has since raised $1,380 for the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. “It’s been an inside joke for a while, so we just decided to write it one day,” Ortega said. “I’m surprised by (the reaction), I didn’t think anybody
would donate any money — that was a shock.” Mouse Rat was a fictional band fronted by Chris Pratt’s character, Andy Dwyer, on Parks and Recreation. The band performed “The Pit” to spotlight a dug-up and abandoned lot on the show. Blurring the lines between entertainment and reality, NBC hosted a website for Mouse Rat with a note from Dwyer claiming, “our fees are $1,000 (sic) per appearance or best offer.” As fans of the show, Ortega and Alleyne took advantage of the parallel between the show’s fictional pit and CentrePointe in Lexington. Ortega created a post on crowd funding website GoFundMe with a letter to Mouse Rat, and set the monetary goal at $1,000 to fulfill the asking price. But when the social
media shares and donations started piling up, Ortega found herself in a difficult position. “It wasn’t my intention to amass this money,” Ortega said. “But we had people’s legitimate money for something that ... would have been awesome if it happened, and maybe if we thought of this about five years ago when Chris Pratt wasn’t a big star, maybe it’s something that could have actually come to fruition.” Ortega, concerned about defrauding her donors, conferred with the legal department at GoFundMe. She changed the name of the fundraiser from “Bring Mouse Rat to the Pit” to “Mouse Rat Fans for KCH,” and offered refunds to the 56 donors. “I’m happy to say that once the focus changed, no one refunded their money,” Ortega said. “So Mouse Rat fans do

Chloe Hurley, KCH’s corporate and community relations manager said the Child Life Program will use the funds to purchase things like art supplies, toys and activities for the patients.
Minus GoFundMe’s 5 percent fee, Ortega will issue all proceeds to KCH and continue to allow donations to support KCH in hopes that Pratt might return the recognition.

Bringing Grove Street to UK
Football fans raise money for Waka Flocka Flame to rap at Auburn game By Marc Thomas news@kykernel.com
Two UK football fans have set up a gofundme.com page with the hopes of bringing rapper Waka Flocka Flame to campus to perform during the UK vs. Auburn game Oct. 15. John Ross Gambrel, a nurse anesthetist at UK Chandler Hospital and Eric Dixon, a family attorney in Williamsburg, Ky. have attended UK football games since their youth. Gambrel and Dixon said bringing the rapper could be a
huge boost to UK football and improve the fan base. “We want athletes to say, ‘You know what, they’re really doing something at UK and they’re really treating their student athletes great; they’ve got a new stadium, the fan base is all in — they care,’” Gambrel said. “If we do that, we make our football program relevant and when we become more relevant, we’ll get better players.” Gambrel and Dixon said they believe the UK vs. Auburn game could have a positive impact on UK’s recruiting prospects in the future.

Dixon said he received a phone call from an events coordinator who scheduled an appearance by Lil Jon at a University of Tennessee football game. Lil Jon performed a version of “Turn Down for What,” which was changed to “Third Down for What.” According to Gambrel, the event organizer for Waka Flocka Flame has been put in touch
with UK. Their gofundme.com has only reached $1,600 as of 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, but Gambrel isn’t concerned that he won’t reach his goal of $18,000. “I’m not worried about the money — the money will be there,” Gambrel said. Gambrel said he wants to show people that UK is much more than just a great basketball school. “If the fan base loves it and it creates a great environment, that’s awesome, but that’s not my primary goal,” Gambrel said. “My primary goal is to do this for the team.”

Students take advantage of the bears’ light weight, stack them on top of each other for Snapchat photos By Sarah Brookbank sbrookbank@kykernel.com
The walk to class last week for many students was a little wild as four Styrofoam bears were on display on the walkway between the W.T. Young Library and the ChemistryPhysics Building. This outdoor installation was sponsored by the Student Activity Board’s cultural arts committee and was created by Jason Scroggin, an assistant professor of architecture in the College of Design. Integrated strategic communication senior Taylor Hamilton, the director of the cultural arts committee, said the installation is a part of their ‘Art Matters’ series. “We’re trying to show that art doesn’t have to be restricted to a museum or an exhibit,” Hamilton said. “Our goal is to make art more accessible for students, faculty and staff.” And they did just that with the Massimal exhibit. The Massimals were made of Styrofoam and piping, and
took three people and a U- haul to move. Scroggin said he was hesitant to put the Massimals outdoors because the creations are lightweight enough for people to move them around. “I knew people would kind of interact with them,” Scroggin said. “They’ve been putting them in compromising positions.” Scroggin said the bears have seen some interesting interactions, one of his students sent him a screenshot of the UK Snapchat story when the bears had been stacked on top of one another. Some of the installations suffered damage, one even lost a leg. “That’s probably the frustrating part … Clearly people are getting a little bit rough with it,” Scroggin said The Massimal project started in 2010, when Scroggin and his design partner Akari Takebayashi, an instructor in the architecture program, were invited to show their research. Scroggin said he and Takebayashi wanted to create something interactive to show off
their research. “Our research was based in developing or enhancing the public realm. Akari, being from Japan, had never seen a petting zoo before,” Scroggin said. “Some of our initial ideas for the installation were dealing with making large models and, ‘How could we package it in a way people might respond to?’ And we thought, ‘Oh, animals.’” Scroggin and Takebayashi took one initial inform, which in this case was a bear, and created different iterations of it based on their research involving surface and the manipulation of planes. The designs are based on architectural modeling, like massing models for rooms and contour models for landscaping. Scroggin said his interest in the project is creating different designs within the constraints of the form. “Each one was its own showcase for (architectural research) through this animal form ... that people could kind of relate to,” Scroggin said.

Runners, researchers head to the Arboretum
The near-campus nature sanctuary provides classes for gardening, learning about Kentucky plant life By Lexington Souers news@kykernel.com
Amidst the bustle of the city lies Lexington’s very own Hundred Acre Wood. While you aren’t likely to see Winnie the Pooh, you will see UK students and Lexington residents looking to explore nature in the Arboretum. The arboretum has been a place of refuge for cityslickers since becoming Kentucky’s State Botanical Garden in 2001. In 1990, research land from the College of Agriculture was donated to be a joint venture between them and the city of Lexington. Molly Davis, director of the Arboretum, said the master plan to guide the development and mission of the Arboretum
has largely been followed. The Arboretum contains a children’s garden, a rose garden, a fragrance garden, a home demonstration garden, and a two mile “Walk Through Kentucky” that covers the seven physiographic regions of the state. “The plant matter has been collected by seed and brought here and grown,” Davis said. “It’s a really unusual way to run an arboretum.” The separate areas allow the arboretum to create specific learning events based on that part of Kentucky. At last year’s Arbor Day event, the Arboretum staff chose the theme “past, present and future” to help kick off a successful Arbor Day. Davis said the first event took place in the Cumberland Mountain
region with Native Americans teaching how their ancestors would have grown and cooked food. The Arboretum also allows staff to provide younger children with hands-on learning opportunities. Entire classrooms will come from schools across the city to gain insight into natural science. These groups will learn specific lessons, such as the life cycle of the butterfly in a setting where butterflies can come and go freely. Older nature enthusiasts can attend demonstrations in the home demonstration garden. This area contains vegetable and flower plants that can easily be grown at home, as well as educational help from the arboretum staff. Edible plants are grown

according to season, helping future gardeners know what is appropriate to plant. “Anything we grow here we can’t sell, we can’t eat and we can’t partake of,” Davis said. Davis said plants raised in the demonstration garden is given to local food pantries.
If gardening isn’t a guest’s interest, the free admission means anyone can enjoy nature. The Arboretum’s two mile track makes it a popular place to exercise and bring pets to run. “I don’t know if it’s documented, but there’s a connection with walking as medita-
tion,” Davis said. “I think it’s really good therapy.” Davis said she has also seen students studying on the grassy areas, but said students should remember what the Arboretum is about. “If you’ve only come here to run, slow down and look at the plants,” Davis said.
Professor awarded for service to free speech By Joshua Qualls
jqualls@kykernel.com
Associate journalism professor Al Cross will receive the James Madison Award for Service to the First Amendment at an event in W. T. Young Library’s Alumni Auditorium 7:30 p.m. Tuesday. Mike Farrell, director of the First Amendment Center and an associate professor at the School of Journalism and Telecommunications, said the
Madison Award is given to people who devote their lives to uphold, protect and defend the First Amendment. Farrell said Cross was nominated for the award because of his advocacy for open records and open meetings, his role as a professor and as the director of UK’s Institute for Rural Journalism and Community Issues. “(Cross) has taught students and challenged the city of Midway on open records,” Farrell said. “(He is) someone who
has worked hard to further the cause of government transparency.” Cross began an annual report for the Society of Professional Journalists on open records, open meetings and open courts while he was working for the Courier-Journal in 1982. He later became chairman of the organization’s “Project Watchdog,” a project designed to educate people about how democracy works, and served a year as president of the SPJ
following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “I’ve always been protective of (the First Amendment),” Cross said. In 2011, the SPJ awarded Cross its highest honor, the Wells Memorial Key, for his service to the organization. Cross was also part of the group at the Courier-Journal who won the Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of a drunk driver’s collision with a school bus in Carroll County, Ky., that
resulted in 27 deaths. “I’ll take (the Madison Award) on the basis of longevity if nothing else,” said Cross, who quoted actor John Goodman by saying, “You hang around this business long enough, they start handing you stuff.” While the Internet and social media allows anyone to be a publisher, Cross said those who “commit journalism” have a responsibility to be fair, truthful and accurate for their audi-
ence. Jon Fleischaker, an attorney who Farrell said has been one of the most important media lawyers in the state of Kentucky for the past 40 years, will deliver the keynote address at the First Amendment Celebration. “For decades, (Fleischaker) has been the leading First Amendment attorney in this state,” Cross said. “I’m just proud to be on the same program with him.”

Men’s soccer remains unbeaten in conference
Cats win third straight game, shut out Florida Atlantic to improve record after losing two of their first three games By Arpan Dixit sports@kykernel.com
Senior captain Callum Irving recorded his third clean sheet in a row; fourth on the season in 3-0 win against Florida Atlantic University on Sunday. The Cats started the game as they usually do, controlling possession the first five to 10 minutes of the game, with a couple opportunities to put points on the scoreboard. The first half ended with a 0-0 tie as the UK defense held its own, clearing any chances the Owls had inside the box. At the beginning of the second half, UK scored the first goal of the game and kept the momentum rolling. Freshman Xahne Reid came off the bench to score
two goals and an assist. This was his first goal of the season, putting UK in a position to stay undefeated at the Bell. “I was focusing on being more aggressive, because the

“It’s a great win, a great team win, to take points from another conference team is really big for us,” Wilson said. “We have three clean sheets in a row going into New Mexico on the road, it sets us up really nicely for that.” Reid capped off his impressive performance with a late
goal in the 88th minute, sealing the win for the Cats. This is UK’s third straight win after dropping two of its first three games in the early part of the season. The Cats record improve to 5-2-1 on the season. They take on New Mexico in Albuquerque, Sunday at 8 p.m.

Get excited for Hopcat’s 100 beers on tap The new downtown restaurant will have great local beer selection, and award-winning “crack” fries JAMILYN HALL Assistant Opinions Editor
Downtown Lexington is expanding its hollow Victorian Square with the addition of Hopcat, a new restaurant and bar opening Oct. 24, which will feature 100 different beers on tap. A franchise based in Grand Rapids, Mich., Hopcat has
expanded to seven locations throughout the U.S. including Detroit, Mich., and Madison, Wis. Not only will the restaurant feature 100 taps, 30 of those will be Kentucky craft beers. Only people 21 years old and older can enter after 10 p.m. The only problem bar-goers will have is choosing what they should wash their “crack fries” down with from the broad selection. The Food Network placed Hopcat’s crack fries in its top
10 of America’s Best French Fries. The crack fries are battered in light beer and sprinkled with black pepper. I am not sure which is more exciting, having an extensive choice of beer within walking distance of campus, or some of the best bar food in America finding its home in the Big Blue Nation. Just to put this into perspective, Two Keys has 12 beers on tap, and Pazzo’s has 47. While it is a longer walk from campus, Hopcat will blow current
Lexington bars out of the water once opened. Not only is Hopcat’s selection worth waiting for (almost a month until opening), they are putting their success to good use. According to their website, Hopcat recycles or composts most of its waste, reducing trash that would go to landfills and incinerators by 90 percent. Since opening in Grand Rapids in 2008, Hopcat has been serving beer with care and pride. The list of their
praise goes on and on. Hopcat was listed third in Best Beer Bars in the World by Beer Advocate Magazine and second in Best Beer Bars in the U.S. by CraftBeer.com. On Oct. 24 I will be found in line at 410 W. Short St., awaiting the experience of having 100 taps at my finger tips. The first 200 people on opening day will get a card good for a free order of their famous crack fries every week for a year. What else could Lexing-
tonians ask for in a bar, other than an extensive amount of craft beer, Food Networkworthy grub and a hand in the common goal of helping our environment? As for great bars in Lexington, consumers have a lot to choose from, but Hopcat is completely redifining the bar scene. Jamilyn Hall is the assistant opinions editor at the Kentucky Kernel.

Depressed students not alone College students are stressed — there’s no doubt about it. We’re working jobs, taking classes, working internships and trying to map out the rest of our lives. With all these commitments and responsibilities, it can be easy to ignore our mental health. According to the National Alliance of Mental Illness, one in four people between the ages of 18 and 24 have a diagnosable mental illness. The American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment reported in 2014 that 32.6 percent of students “felt so depressed that it was difficult to function” and 54.0 percent of students felt overwhelming anxiety. The biggest contributors to those feelings were academics, finances and intimate relationships, according to the National College Health Assessment. According to the Association’s Na-

Time to remove Morgan statue
Statues of John Hunt Morgan and other Confederate leaders don’t belong on public land American history is something to be proud of, especially one’s home-state history; history is something that ties us all together and gives us ways to overcome future disagreements. While we can continue to be proud of our history, we must not push the controversial parts of the past down everyone’s throats. One of the controversial parts of Kentucky history is the legacy of John Hunt Morgan, an early settler of Lexington who attended Transylvania College for two years. In downtown Lexington — in front of the old courthouse — currently stands the statue of Morgan fully dressed in his Confederate garb. Morgan rose to the rank of Brigadier General in the Confederate army before he was shot and killed by a Union soldier, according to the website of Civil War Trust, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the history of the Civil War and its battlefields. The controversy of the Confederate flag that flew outside the South Carolina state Capitol has increased conversation about the rac-
ist symbolism of Confederate imagery and spawned attempts to remove the imagery from public places. And yet Lexington continues to have a confederate general on our main street arguably condoning what the Confederacy stood for.
“
though the Morgan statue has not raised as much controversy as a Confederate flag would, the words “black lives matter” appeared, spray-painted on its base as a forward hit that this is a city of equality and should be showcased as such.
Having a statue on Main Street that depicts a confederate leader dissuades Lexingtonians from coming together as a unified community”
The Morgan statue, which stands on public office grounds, and the Confederate flag outside the South Carolina Capitol have slight differences. If Morgan were as popular and influential as the Confederate flag, the statue would have been taken down by now. Even
This past Monday the Urban County Arts Review Board heard opinions on how to display downtown statues that honor Confederate heroes of the Civil War, according to a story by the Lexington Herald-Leader. There is also a statue of John C. Breckinridge — Ken-
tucky native who was the final Confederate secretary of war in 1865 — and a historical marker that gives information about the history of the downtown location of what used to be the Cheapside auction block. The Arts Review Board will meet again to decide the recommendations they will make to the mayor and council on Sept. 30. There is a way to acknowledge Kentucky history, without sending mixed signals and offending American citizens. For the black taxpayers in Lexington who are funding where the statue stands, it is offensive. Many Lexingtonians believe that the statue should stay as is, because of its historical relevance. But having a statue on Main Street that depicts a Confederate leader dissuades Lexingtonians from coming together as a unified community. So why has the statue remained? It is 2015, and it is time to create an inclusive environment for all who call Lexington home. Email opinions@kykernel.com
Black Lives Matter wrongly condemned SAVON GRAY Contributing Columnist
The Black Lives Matter movement has been making headlines across this country for pointing out police misconduct and that not everyone in our country is receiving the same amount of justice. Many Americans view the movement as their saving grace, thankful that the masses are able to finally see the injustices. However, some Americans, such as
Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly, do not view the movement in such high regard. On the Aug. 31 edition of “The O’Reilly Factor” he stated “I think they’re a hate group … and I’m going to put them out of business.” Fox News has run banners onscreen that read “murder movement” when referring to BLM, and Fox & Friends co-host Elisabeth Hasslebeck has asked “why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? How much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?”
Both O’Reilly and Hasslebeck were speaking about the murder of police officers at the hands of black men when they made their statements; murders that were not linked to the Black Lives Matter movement. On an episode of Justice, which airs on Fox News, Judge Jeanine Pirro stated “We need to kill them. We need to kill them, the radical Muslim terrorists hell-bent on killing us … and as this Islamic cancer metastasizes throughout the world … it is headed our way.” While promoting his book “Pinheads and Patriots” on The View, O’Reilly stated that
the reason there should not be a mosque at ground zero was because “Muslims killed us on 9/11.” This remark made cohosts Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar walk off the set. Why is a movement that is trying to point out injustices in our country labeled a hate group, while a television network that promotes “killing them all” is not? Why did the FBI urge Martin Luther King Jr. to kill himself? In a letter titled, “You Are Done” King was told, “…you are a colossal fraud and an evil, vicious one at that. You could not believe in God and act as
you do.” The letter ends with “King, there is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significance). You are done. There is but one way out for you.” Why did Shaun King have to explain his entire life story, after the Breitbart News Network attacked his character online? Breitbart questioned Shaun King’s race, affiliation with the Black Lives Matter movement, and his motives for being involved. Days after the
attack was published, Joshua Ryne Goldberg, the man who gave Breitbart the false intel on King was arrested for plotting a terrorist attack, planned for a memorial in Kansas City commemorating the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It seems as if the movement is under fire from people who should check themselves. People who live in a glass house should not throw stones. People who spew hate shouldn’t accuse a group of being hateful without evidence. Savon Gray is a journalism sophomore. Email opinions@ kykernel.com

Broken promises
Hypocrisy and elitism define the Clinton presidential campaign, email controversy shows lack of transparency MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
Bill Clinton thinks the Republican Party and the media are over—exaggerating Hillary’s email scandal, but he’s dead wrong. Hillary Clinton is a disaster, and she should be thanking her lucky stars that Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican primary circus has distracted the country from her woeful inadequacies, elitist opacity, and potentially illegal behavior. At every turn she has acted as though she should be exempt from scrutiny for her actions and the bottom dwelling peasants have no right to question her decisions. It took her months to force out an apology lacking entirely in contrition and sincerity. She knowingly broke protocol by using a personal email account as the top diplomat of the nation because her personal convenience took priority over national security. Clinton then avoided, for as long as possible, granting an investigation access to her emails. Only when it looked like her campaign might lose support because of the controversy did she finally cooperate — well, almost. Thousands of emails were deleted, with nothing but her promise that they were only personal emails, and not official correspondence; a promise that, to be polite, has questionable integrity. As it turns out, she did not turn over all of her emails. Correspondence with some of the
“
nation’s top military officers was recently found, separate from the emails she turned in. The Justice Department has also recovered the emails that were deleted, which raises a huge question: if the people hired to secure her personal server did not know how to properly delete emails, how can we be certain they knew how to properly secure them? The national security implications of that question might be enormous. If all that wasn’t enough, the person the State Department hired to investigate the issue donated the maximum amount possible to Clinton. Clinton’s defense is that none of the information sent
As secretary of state, Clinton promised to disclose all donations to her husband’s Clinton Foundation, and promised not to accept foreign donations to avoid conflict of interest — Clinton has broken both promises. In total, as much as $68 million was given to the Clinton Foundation by foreign entities while Hillary was serving as Secretary of State. The idea that a secretary of state was for sale should end the Clinton campaign. Clinton’s response to this entire controversy? She promised not to end, but just limit foreign donations while she is running for president. Hillary has shown herself to be completely out of touch with reality. Every step of the way Clinton has maintained she did nothing wrong. Even if that is true, she should follow the lead of Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn — take ownership of the failures under her watch and end her campaign. The behavior of the Democratic frontrunner is inexcusable and irreconcilable to a party that champions equality and fairness. Any of the claims she could make to criticize a Republican can, and should be met with claims of hypocrisy and elitism. Her mistakes make her an easy target for any Republican opponent. If her name weren’t Clinton, voters would be running in the other direction. For a party that decries elitism and aristocracy, you have to wonder: what are they waiting for?

The idea that a secretary of state was for sale should end the Clinton campaign.” was classified at the time it was sent, but this is not only false — it’s inadequate. Information was classified when it was sent, but even if it had not been classified at the time, government employees are instructed to assume any diplomatic correspondence is confidential the moment it is received. Clinton did not, and she distributed it. While “failure to assume classified” is not a crime worthy of jail time, her actions should concern every Democratic primary voter. If the email controversy were the extent of Clinton’s issues it wouldn’t be worthy of mass hysteria. Unfortunately for her they are merely the tip of the iceberg, and Democrats really should be steering the ship in another direction.

Cats on track for bowl game
ESPN predicts UK likely to appear in Nashville bowl game with 3 more wins By Jordan Ondrof sports@kykernel.com
The Cats have accomplished many milestones early in the season, but one still remains: making a bowl game. After beating a top-25 opponent for the first time since 2010 and moving to 3-1, the possibility of making it to a bowl game for the first time since 2011 is seeming more and more realistic. The Big Blue Nation is not the only one optimistic about the outlooks of UK’s potential post season, as ESPN has now predicted that the Cats will make the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl in Nashville. In a recent article on espn. com, staff writer Sam Khan Jr. said, “Kentucky moved up and is 2-1 in conference. Mark
Stoops’ Troops continue to trend up. A bowl game was a big goal for the Wildcats this season, and they’re halfway to bowl eligibility with eight games remaining. Things are looking good in Big Blue Nation.” Winning three games in September was crucial to the Cats’ chances of making it to a bowl game. UK needs to win at least three of their next eight games going forward. In one of the easiest remaining match-ups, the Cats face Eastern Kentucky next week. UK has a 3-0 record against the Colonials and this game should follow suit.
UK Volleyball shakes up SEC with upset win STAFF REPORT
sports@kykernel.com
No. 24 ranked UK Volleyball shocked the Stephen C. O’Connell Center and the No. 5 ranked Florida Gators Sunday, upsetting Florida 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-21, 25-21) behind a career game from freshman Brooke Morgan. Morgan’s career-best 13 kills Sunday helped guide the Cats to its fifth straight match victory, now 9-5 overall and 2-0 in SEC play. Florida’s loss puts them at 9-2 overall and 1-1 in SEC play. It was a back-and-fourth battle in the first set, sparked by two blocks from Kaz Brown and Morgan Bergren to give the Cats a 3-1 lead. It wasn’t until Florida went on a 4-0 scoring run to take a 12-9 lead in the set and didn’t look back from there, taking the first set 25-22. UK found themselves trailing again early in the second set, but rallied behind 11 kills between Morgan and sophomore Darian Mack in the second set to erase a 10-6 deficit and win the set 25-23. Four UK players finished the match with 10 or more kills, including a team-high 15 from Mack. Mack has had 14 or more kills
in six consecutive matches for the Cats. Anni Thomasson dished out ace after ace in the third set, stretching the Cats’ lead to six at one point in the 25-21 set win. The Newark, Ohio native also produced a team-best five digs and five kills in the set. The Gators appeared to still have some fight in them during the fourth set, springing to a 5-2 lead. UK clawed back behind Emily Franklin’s 8th kill of the day, which gave the Cats an 8-7 lead. UK continued to build off the momentum, scoring three straight — forcing Florida to call a timeout trailing 12-9. Florida couldn’t recover from the relentless UK attack, falling behind 21-16 and eventually dropping the set 25-21. The Cats posted a season-high nine aces in the upset, and the win gives the team a share of first place in the conference. Sunday’s win was the first time since 2009 that UK has defeated a top-five opponent and beaten the Gators in Gainesville. The Cats are back in action at 7 p.m. on Friday as they return to Memorial Coliseum to face the Mississippi State Bulldogs (11-4, 1-1 SEC), and will air on the SEC Network.

glimpses of the potential to be an eight-win football team. With the return of Ryan Flannigan and Jason Hatcher, the dominance of UK’s defense, specifically the defensive line, makes UK a contender in every game that it plays.

ting down a struggling Auburn offense. After four losses in a row, UK is due to beat the Louisville Cardinals. The Cats will face their in-state rivals in Lexingon for the last regular season game. The Cardinals have struggled early in the season, starting 1-3. Louisville beat Samford for its first win of the season, avoiding their first 0-4 start since 1975. Louisville started a different quarterback in its first three games, and even though there will likely be more consistency by the end of the season, the Cats have their best opportunity in years to take down the Cards. The Cats defense has shown that they are of bowl-quality, now it is up to quarterback Patrick Towles and the offense to show they can be consistent and win close games in order to finally make it back to a bowl.
Women’s soccer gets physical By Katherine Stach sports@kykernel.com
Tensions were high on Sunday night as the No. 9 ranked UK women’s soccer team took home its 9th win of the season, and its first since 2009 against the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Razorbacks were out for blood in a game that totaled more than 30 fouls between the two teams. What the Razorbacks didn’t know, however, was that the Cats were out for blood too, especially after suffering a 3-1 loss to the Missouri Tigers Friday night. “We can only be who we are,” coach Jon Lipsitz said. “Today, we found something inside of ourselves to fight harder and win more balls after the loss Friday night.” A mere five minutes into the first half, forward Michaela Dooley cinched the first goal with an impressive backwards flick into the box with the assist from freshman Sophie Babo. The Cats were able to team up defensively and hold the Razorbacks back from scoring for the entirety of the first half, going into intermission with a 1-0 lead. UK snagged its second goal of the game in the 78th minute when midfielder Kaitlin Miller slotted home the
ball with an assist from forward Zoe Swift. “We focused on winning first and second balls and then getting those down the field and playing our game,” Miller said. Swift made another huge play in the 78th minute of the game when she broke free and drove the ball 70 yards before being tackled by a member of the Arkansas backline. The Cats would’ve been handed a penalty kick shout as a result, but there was no call from the referees and play
continued. Swift said game’s many forward drives were made possible with advice from Lipsitz. “We did as coach said, and made sure to transition fast and stay engaged in the game,” Swift said. Arkansas was able the break through the UK defense and score in the 81st minute of the game when forward Alexandra Fischer rebounded the ball off the crossbar. In the grand scheme of things, however, the Cats still
came out victorious. UK advances to 9-2-1 overall, 3-1-0 in SEC play, while Arkansas drops to 5-6-0 overall and 1-3-0 in SEC play. UK is now tied with Auburn for second place in the conference, trailing only South Carolina (10-1-0, 4-0-0 SEC). The Cats return to the field at 7 p.m. Friday to face the Florida Gators (8-3-0, 2-2-0 SEC) in Gainesville. Game coverage will be available on SEC Network+, ESPN 3 and WatchESPN.
