New program helps grads abroad connect with the university

By Allison Kruschke allison.kruschke@marquette.edu

A new initiative started this year aims to create a better study abroad experience for students, and to provide resources for alumni in Europe.

The European Alumni Network, as well as its connected Internation-

al Student Ambassador program, bring together several regional networks already in existence abroad.

Belton Flournoy, the regional lead for the network in the United Kingdom and a 2003 graduate of the College of Business Administration, said the main goal of the network is to foster community among those connected to Marquette.

“The EAN re-connects alumni who might have lost contact with Marquette during the move to Europe,” Flournoy said. “As the world is becoming more global, so is Marquette. It is important to develop a

strong European alumni program to support our growth worldwide.”

The idea was spearheaded by Flournoy and Kelly Kliebhan, a 1999 graduate of the College of Arts & Sciences and the regional lead for France. The network covers students studying in any European country.

“We create a support network for many students who will be away from their family and friends for the first time,” Flournoy said. “We have an informal mentorship program in some of the cities and host See Alumni, page 5

Golden Eagles GoGeddit Alumnus creates new coupon service for Wisconsin

Move over Groupon.com.

There’s a new online coupon provider in town — and this one is run by former and current Marquette students looking to localize and improve the money-saving experience.

Richie Burke, a 2011 graduate of the College of Business Administration, launched new online deal website GoGeddit.com in mid-September. The site was the

manifestation of an idea he has been working on since graduation.

“Our goal has been to create a better (coupon) alternative for both consumers and businesses alike,” Burke said. “Right now, we’re a lean organization, we have a ton of flexibility and we feel we can offer consumers the best packages.”

Burke said his business, which has grown to nearly 3,000 subscribers since inception, is distinguished from other deal sites because of its commitment to work with businesses as well as consumers.

“We offer businesses that work with us better retailer margins and take the time to sit down with the people we work with and build good relationships,” he said.

“We will also look to work with

these businesses repeatedly in the future.”

Currently, Burke splits his time between Madison, where he grew up, and Milwaukee, the two cities where the site offers deals. In Milwaukee, current hot deals include $10 off at National Liquor Mart on a purchase of $25 and $4 off at The Broken Yolk on a purchase of $11.

Burke said while college students are not necessarily the most likely to use coupon sites, he and his staff can relate to the college experience and offer deals that will entice Marquette students to frequent the site.

In 1994, 19-year-old Brian Avery confessed to and was convicted of robbing two Milwaukee food stores after being caught on security footage. But today, over fifteen years later, Avery is getting a new trial, thanks to new technology that suggests the suspect on tape may have been several inches shorter than previously thought.

In a 2-1 decision, the Wisconsin First District Court of Appeals overturned a trial court’s decision to deny Avery a new trial, based on new evidence from enhanced security footage unavailable in 1994.

The dissenting justice, Kitty Brennan, argued that the new evidence would not lead to a change in reasonable doubt.

“The trial court did not err in its application of the newly discovered evidence test,” Brennan wrote.

“And was correct that there is not a reasonable probability that Avery’s new (video) evidence would create a reasonable doubt when viewed alongside all of the other evidence.”

If found not guilty, under Wisconsin law, Avery will be eligible to receive $5,000 for each year he was imprisoned, for a maximum total of $25,000.

Avery was convicted of robbing Malone’s Find Foods and Atari Food Market as part of an armed gang over the course of two days in July 1994. Security footage from

both stores was recovered, with the footage from Malone’s used to match Avery to one of the robbers.

After the tapes were enhanced by the FBI through Video Image Stabilization and Registration, Gene Grindstaff, an expert testifying on Avery’s behalf, explained that information gained from the security footage revealed that the suspect had to be less than six feet tall. Avery was 6 feet 3 inches tall at the time of his arrest.

However, the prosecution has argued Avery was convicted based on two eyewitness testimonies and a previously provided confession Avery has since recanted. “(The officer) said, ‘Well, if you cooperate you will be able to go home,’” Avery said, according to court documents. “And that’s when I told him and I agreed that I had did it.”

One of the eyewitnesses at the Malone’s robbery, then 15-year-old Archerie Simmons, testified that the suspected robber was between 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, and approximately 16 years old. After being given a stack of photos, Simmons identified Avery as the suspect, but during the trial denied ever choosing him. Five eyewitnesses to both robberies also could not identify Avery, although an Atari employee, Mueen Hamdan, was able to.

Daniel Blinka, a professor of law and an adviser to the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Innocence Project, said the Avery case is proof that new technology, although helpful in solving crimes, is not an endall solution.

Dems ready to get signatures needed to oust Wis. governor

By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

Democratic Party organizers have announced round two of recall efforts in Wisconsin are slated to begin Nov. 15.

The newest efforts focus on recalling Gov. Scott Walker but will also look to recall state senators.

Walker and the targeted senators will be eligible for recall in January 2012, when they have been in office for one year, according to Wisconsin state law.

The renewed recall efforts come just months after a wave of recall elections earlier this year in the Wisconsin State Senate that resulted in a 17-16 Republican majority. Democrats picked up two seats in wins over incumbent Republicans.

Meagan Mahaffey, former executive director of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin and executive director of the organization heading the recall effort, United Wisconsin, said Wisconsin cannot endure any more of Walker’s policies.

“This is an extraordinary step, but Walker’s continued refusal to listen to the people of Wisconsin requires it,” Mahaffey said. “It was no easy decision, but we arrived at this early date because first and foremost we believed Wisconsin could not wait to recall and replace Scott Walker.”

In order to force a recall election in 2012, recall organizers must gather more than 540,000 signatures, or 25 percent of the vote cast for the office of governor in the last election, ac-

College Dems, Repubs ‘occupy’ Raynor Bridge

Marquette’s College Democrats and College Republicans set up competing information tables Friday in response to the national Occupy Wall Street movement coming to Milwaukee.

National movement sparks political battle at Marquette

By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

A face-off of ideologies took place on Marquette’s campus Friday, as the College Republicans and College Democrats demonstrated their different perspectives about the ongoing nationwide Occupy Wall Street movement.

The College Democrats sat under the Bridge and rallied support for Occupy Milwaukee, which occurred on Saturday. Not even 100 feet away, College Republicans, dressed in suits, carried signs and chanted as they showed their support for capitalism and opposition to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

The movement began with demonstrations on Wall Street

in New York City and has now spread to more than 70 major U.S. cities. The protesters are against social and economic inequality, corporate greed and the influence of corporate money and lobbyists on government.

Saturday, the protests came to Milwaukee, and Marquette’s College Democrats and Republicans were ready for it.

Andy Suchorski, communications director for the Marquette College Democrats chapter, said the group has been very supportive of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

“This is a progressive movement trying to end the stranglehold that corporate interests have on our politics and lives,” said Suchorski, a junior in the College of Arts & Sciences. “There is nothing more American than standing together with other Americans to fight to make things better for the bottom 99 percent.

It is a no-brainer to support this movement.”

Not everyone views the

movement as positive, though.

Ethan Hollenberger, chairman of the College Republicans, said support of the movement is not as easy as some make it seem.

Hollenberger, a senior in the College of Business Administration, said the Occupy Wall Street movement is full of double standards and false notions, and that many of its die-hard supporters are admittedly professional protestors.

“They blame the large corporations, yet give a free pass to the president they support ideologically,” Hollenberger said.

He said the College Republicans wanted to promote capitalism to students at their information table, but the College Democrats said they believed the group was going to hijack their event and disrupt their recruiting.

At the event, Suchorski said he was glad the Republicans were out on Wisconsin Avenue raising awareness of the movement.

“We believe that when students are presented with the two sides

of this debate, they will overwhelmingly support us,” Suchorski said.

Hollenberger’s view on where student support falls differed.

“I don’t think they (the College Democrats) win the issue automatically,” he said.

Hollenberger said unemployment is at its highest in recent years, Obama has not lowered the cost of tuition, health insurance premiums or the deficit and costs are still high at the gas pump and grocery store.

“When we look at the facts, I think we are in a better position,” Hollenberger said.

The student organizations’ information tables were just a prelude to the full-scale demonstration held in downtown Milwaukee Saturday, though.

More than 1,000 people rallied to show solidarity with Occupy Wall Street protestors, including more than 25 Marquette College Democrats.

Suchorski said the protest was entirely peaceful, there were no

arrests and it continued to build enthusiasm and momentum for the cause.

Hollenberger, on the other hand, said not all the Occupy Wall Street protests have been peaceful. He said there have been many arrests, police cars defecated on and that trash has built up, primarily at the New York rallies.

Students not affiliated with the College Democrats and Republicans were also divided about the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Kevin Mueller, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said groups like the Occupy Wall Street movement are necessary in this age of corporate takeover to give a voice to the common man.

Tim Kendzior, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, said he is concerned about the Occupy movement.

“I do not know where it will take America, but hopefully it doesn’t take us away from capitalism,” he said.

New monthly forum introduced to foster healthy discussion

By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

Last winter, Wisconsin saw sustained protests at the state capitol and subsequent claims that state

politics had become more polarized than ever.

In Milwaukee, the Frank Zeidler Center for Public Discussion in Redeemer Lutheran Church at 19th and Wisconsin Avenue is working to combat that growing political and social polarization in Wisconsin through community dialogue.

The center is named for Frank Zeidler, Milwaukee mayor from 1948-1960 and lifelong member of Redeemer. Lisa Bates-Froiland,

director of the Zeidler Center, said the center’s founders wanted to create a space where the citizens of Milwaukee could talk about issues in a civil way.

“We want to have a safe place for people … to get together and talk about issues relevant to our lives, the tough stuff,” Froiland said.

Academic Senate talks retirement, campus safety Phase-out program for faculty discussed, approved Monday

By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu

At its monthly meeting held yesterday, the University Academic Senate approved the Benefits for Surrender of Tenure Policy, a new phase-out retirement plan for faculty. It also discussed a recent surge in alcohol-related incidents on campus.

The senate discussed the new plan, posed as an alternative to the current retirement plan, and some senate members raised

concerns about the wording in the proposal.

Sharon Chubbuck, an elected faculty member from the College of Education, voiced concerns from the faculty present at the College of Education faculty meeting.

“We don’t support that we relinquish our tenure before our active time at Marquette (is over),” Chubbuck said.

Chubbuck then read a statement drafted by the College of Education faculty at the meeting that said it does not support the wording in the proposal that would require faculty to give up tenure before implementing the phase-out retirement plan. The statement cited the University of Minnesota’s phase-out retirement

plan that allows faculty members to keep their tenure while in the phase-out process.

Provost John Pauly said he had not seen the University of Minnesota plan, but Marquette and Minnesota differ in the type of retirement they can offer faculty.

Marquette’s is private whereas Minnesota’s is public, Pauly said.

Pauly said he wanted to emphasize that this plan is not a mandatory retirement option. Faculty can still utilize the retirement plan already in existence.

“In other words, nobody is required to accept this plan,” Pauly said.

James South, chair of the Academic Senate, said before the proposal went to vote he wanted to echo that sentiment.

“This is really quite a win,” South said. “I have been really pleased with this process … I think this is working how it’s supposed to work.”

The motion to approve the Benefits for Surrender of Tenure Policy passed. Chubbuck was the only opposing vote.

South said a question was raised during the last meeting about the number of crimes happening on campus. He then invited Chief Larry Rickard, director of DPS, and Cpt. Russell Shaw, associate director of DPS, to address the senate on campus crime.

“We had a tough first weekend,” Rickard said. “The last few weekends have been relatively good besides some spirited student behavior.”

Rickard said he contacted the Milwaukee County Police Department’s District 3 captain when crimes increased, and they worked together to create a strong presence on campus.

“Their response was notable and aggressive,” Rickard said.

Rickard said DPS has seen a rise in alcohol-related incidents this year.

Shaw said there have been about 30 cases of acute intoxication where students needed to go to the hospital.

Rickard said there have been about 15 cases of students vomiting in LIMOs. He said transporting students to the hospital takes DPS officers off of the streets, and the vomiting incidents in LIMOs take them out of commission, which causes delays in LIMO transportation.

The senate also approved several proposals from the University Board of Graduate Studies.

Senate Notes The senate approved the motions to terminate the masters of science in engineering management program, a Certificate in Engineering Innovation in Engineering Management, Certificate in New Product and Process Development in Engineering Management, and a Certificate in Professional Communication in the College of Communication.

It also approved the motions to approve a new Certificate in Alternative Dispute Resolution and a Certificate in Litigation, both in the Law School.

Gary Meyer, vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, gave a presentation about the 2013 site visit for accreditation. Meyer is chair of the reaffirmation of accreditation steering committee. He said the committee has a timeline in place to plan for the site visit in 2013.

“We want to ask him questions we see relevant to the university,” Carlson said.

MUSG encouraged all students to attend this forum in an effort to voice their concerns and interests.

Senator Allison Krushcke, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said that on Tuesday, MUSG’s Business and Administration committee met with Erin Lazzar of the Office of Student Development in regards to possibly changing Marquette’s alcohol amnesty policy. (Eds. note: Krushcke is also a reporter for the Tribune.)

However, conversations are still developing, she said.

Krushcke also stressed the importance of working with the university to eliminate regular malfunctions with PrintWise. She said a solution for PrintWise issues needs to be found, both in the university buildings and residence halls.

MUSG talks initiatives

By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Marquette University Student Government President Joey Ciccone announced last Thursday in an MUSG meeting that he met with University President the Rev. Scott Pilarz’s chief of staff, Thomas MacKinnon, and discussed the prospect of student participation in the search for a new Marquette athletic director.

Ciccone also mentioned the new diversity initiative involving roundtable discussions, which seek to welcome students whose opinions seem underrepresented on campus. The discussions will take place in the Multicultural Center of the Alumni Memorial Union on Oct. 25, Nov. 14 and Dec. 4.

Arica Van Boxtel, MUSG communications vice president, said the organization is undergoing a “social media initiative.” She encouraged students to utilize Twitter in welcoming and initiating conversation with Pilarz.

Notes

Sterling Hardaway, a sophomore in the College of Arts & Sciences, said two new student organizations were approved: the Water Council and the U.S. Building Council. The Water Council is aimed toward conservation and the U.S. Building Council will involve students who hope to develop and promote the importance of available green space on campus.

may be telling the truth,” Blinka said. “What we need to do is guard against the dream that there is any technological method out there that will eliminate the complexities and uncertainties of most trials.”

For its part, Marquette has 596 security cameras on and around campus, said Department of Public Safety Lt. Katie Berigan. Cameras are located both inside and outside buildings and can be found on intersections as far west as 23rd Street and West Michigan Street.

“We did a huge installation of cameras starting five years ago, adding them as we identified areas

that needed more surveillance,” Berigan said.

According to DPS Capt. Russell Shaw, the cameras are located prominently with the intent of preventing crimes instead of solving them. Each camera can be viewed by a DPS officer in a 24/7 command center, with signs notifying students that they may be being watched at any time.

“We don’t want it to certainly be a reactive tool,” Shaw said. “We want to try to stop the crimes from happening before they do.”

Lately, I’ve been on this kick.

You see, it started accidentally.

My friends and I had plans to see “The Head and The Heart” at Turner Hall a couple weeks ago, which quickly unraveled when the show sold out before they got their tickets. I’d bought mine in advance and had my heart set on seeing this band.

So I did. Alone. And with a great deal of anxiety.

As soon as I walked into the venue, I swerved to the bar as if magnetized and ordered myself a beer, then weaseled my way up to the front of the crowd. I stood there, bobbing and nodding just like everyone else, and as I scanned my periphery with elevator eyes, I noticed that I couldn’t separate individuals from couples and groups. We were all a group. It didn’t

And just as I was having by asking if they wanted to sit at the bar inthese thoughts, the girl next to me hip- stead of a table, and, when they declined, bumped me, locked eyes with me and said, we’d smile sympathetically and slide the extra plate and silverware off a two-top.

And that independence had benefits.

Making a reservation for one meant I could choose a place at any time on any day I wanted — no need to consider my friends’ schedules, budgets or taste buds. My math skills are so atrocious that splitting the bill is more like splitting the atom, so I was thrilled to bypass that confusion. Maybe I caught on late to the perks of eating alone, but I’m glad I did.

As the weekend came to an end, I decided to give my independent side one more test, and attend Mass alone.

But “alone” isn’t the right word. It’s an illusion. Because it’s when you’re “alone,” when you have to hold a stranger’s hand in prayer, that it’s easiest to feel the community around you.

This fall break, I dare you to do one thing without anyone but yourself. I promise that if you don’t end up running into a friend on your adventure, you’ll make a new one: yourself. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Debunking myths about signing leases off campus

By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Living away from home seems like a piece of cake, until sophomore year comes and the prospect of signing a lease looms over students’ heads. Many students rush into finding that perfect house or apartment with that certain group of friends, but myths and misconceptions have been passed from one lease-signing class to another, resulting in a house hunting process bigger and more worrisome than need be.

In an attempt to fill the gap, the Tribune hunted down four of the most popular housing myths. None of them turned out to be true, but discovering that left us with some good advice for students looking for on- or off-campus housing for the upcoming year.

You’ll be left behind if you don’t sign early:

Students who do not sign a lease for an off-campus apartment or house in the first few weeks of school are not doomed, said Stacie Dooley, associate dean for university apartments and off-campus student services.

Dooley finds that the current system, which pushes students to sign leases as early as possible, is flawed and puts too much pressure on students.

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

“Students come in sophomore year thinking they need to sign for a house or apartment right away and they look towards their friends to be roommates,” Dooley said.

“What many people don’t think about is, ‘What if your friends change?’”

Dooley said it’s not the students that are to blame for the early signing mentality — it’s history.

Campus Town East and West, the two primary University Apartment buildings located along Wells Street between 15thand 17th Streets, were completed in 1994. At that time, leases were commonly signed in April and May. But because the company building the apartments planned on them being ready for occupancy in October 1994, the university moved up the lease-signing date, expecting the apartments to be a hot commodity. It was a decision that changed the way Marquette students thought about offcampus housing.

“When the landlords in the neighborhood found out the apartments would be open for signing this early, they pushed up their lease dates in order to provide competition,” Dooley said. “This single event shifted the time of year the leases were signed.”

However, not every apartment fills in the fall, so students that wait until the spring can still find a place to live.

“Our office calls all of the off-campus housing in the neighborhood in the spring to help narrow down the search for students who have not yet signed leases,” Dooley said.

“Marquette has quite a few openings in the area; it really just depends upon what the students want in terms of roommates, distance

and amenities.”

Eric Ricafrente, a junior in the College of Communication, waited to sign a lease for this year until April. He ended up living with roommates who had signed the lease for their house in November 2010.

“My roommates needed two more people and I needed a place to live, so I signed onto the lease,” Ricafrente said.

Ricafrente said he and his seven roommates were not concerned when it came to housing last year, but were concerned this year.

“As a sophomore I was like, ‘Wherever I live, I live,’” Ricafrente said. “This year was different though … Our concern was to collectively move and sign before others capitalized on other opportunities.”

Ricafrente and his seven roommates all witnessed sophomores looking for housing while fellow juniors were trying to shuffle around to new places. Seniors, meanwhile, were planning their life after graduation.

“We found a place on Kilbourn that definitely fits our needs,” Ricafrente said. “There are pros and cons, but that is the case with every place.”

Salvatore Bando, partner and owner of Cedar Square Management, said he was bombarded with phone calls and emails in late August and all of September this year.

“Last year October was a crazy month for us,” Bando said.

“This year, though, it began sooner and spots went faster. We have a total of 21 houses and three are left

to be rented.”

Bando said there is no rush, but it really depends upon the students to dictate when companies have their residents sign the leases.

“If students are all going to call us in September then that is when we’re going to try and fill units,” Bando said. “If they called in February then we would do it then.”

There isn’t enough housing:

With this year’s freshman class being the largest on record for Marquette, many students are worried about not having a place to live outside of the dorms come two years. The statistics, however, show otherwise.

According to Dooley and the Office of Off-Campus Services, last year 86 percent of students who applied for university apartments were placed in a unit on the night of sign-up. Some students dropped after leases were signed, having found other options. This resulted in a 91 percent placement rate.

In all campus-owned apartments and housing — Campus Town East and West, Gilman Building, Frenn Building and Humphrey Hall — there are a total of 1,162 bed spaces. Last year 863 bed spaces were filled, Dooley said.

Dooley said it all depends on how people place themselves.

Except for the single units on the east side of Campus Town East, each room is meant for two people.

“We have the ability to

accommodate everyone who asks for on-campus housing. It just depends upon how students want to situate themselves,” Dooley said. “We will not run out of room both on-campus and off.”

Men live in houses, women live in apartments

False. By no means do woman sign away from living in houses.

Annie Spindler, a senior in the College of Communication, lived in her sorority house during her junior year and currently lives in a house with six other women. Spindler believes the notion of men living in the majority of houses on campus and women in apartments is untrue.

“I have lived in a house for the past two years,” Spindler said.

“I think there is a stereotype around houses. The notion that there are more parties, keggers, and it’s dirtier and harder to keep up is something that is thrown around. You have to keep up on houses and apartments equally. It’s not all like people say it is.”

Bando said both men and women occupy Cedar Square houses, though he notices men live in more houses than women.

“This is not to say women or men belong in a certain place,” Bando said. “We have a mixture. Both sides of two duplexes on 16th and 17th and Kilbourn are occupied by only women, as well as an all-female single family home on 15th and State; students of both sexes also live in the same houses.”

Before living in an offcampus house, Ricafrente said he believed women would rather attend a house party than host one. He thought women

would want a clean environment to go home to, while men would deal with the repercussions of a broken window on their own.

But after moving off-campus, Ricafrente’s view changed.

“I realized more girls than I expected lived in houses,” Ricafrente said. “I was surprised by the number of girls who lived in houses and I think they try to live in houses because of the money and amenities they can have ... it’s definitely not girls in apartments and guys in houses.”

Specialized housing just for Greeks

For Lissie Crichton-Sapp, a senior in the College of Communication, signing a lease to live in the Catholic Women’s house was a rather seamless process.

The Catholic Women’s and Men’s house are not affiliated with Campus Ministry but both have existed for 10 years.

Crichton-Sapp said she knew she wanted to live in the Catholic Women’s house, on the corner of 15th and State Streets, since her freshman year. She said she was fortunate to not have to rush into signing a lease like her friends did as first-semester sophomores.

“I didn’t sign a lease until January of my sophomore year,” Crichton-Sapp said. “I was fortunate to not have to deal with the stress and anxiety of housing and I felt sad for the other students who did.”

The Catholic Women’s house and its fellow Catholic Men’s house have existed for ten years, developed as a place for Catholic youth at Marquette to live in community.

“The landlord makes his routine visits in October to have us sign the new lease, other than that we have no worries,” Crichton-Sapp said.

Eagles defeat three straight ranked opponents Break the double digit scorer mark for the first time

By Mike Nelson michael.e.nelson@marquette.edu

Freshman Defender Dennis Holowaty scored his first career goal against West Virgina on Saturday night heading in a cross from the right side in a 2-1 victory.

Prior to this season, the Marquette men’s soccer team (7-5-2, 5-0-0 Big East) never had more than 10 players score a goal in one season during Louis Bennett’s five full seasons as the head coach.

This week, the team stepped over that line with two kicks. The first, in Marquette’s 1-0 victory over then-No.12/13 Notre Dame (6-3-4, 2-2-1 Big East) Wednesday, earned freshman midfielder Sebastian Jansson his first collegiate goal and status as the 10th Marquette player to score a goal this season.

Then, Saturday night, freshman defender Dennis Holowaty made himself the 11th player during Marquette’s 2-1 victory over then-No. 23/22 West Virginia (7-5-1, 3-2 Big East).

This season also marks the first time Bennett’s squad has started out 5-0 in Big East play. It’s currently first place in the Blue Division of the Big East, two points ahead of No. 1 Connecticut (130-1, 4-0-1 Big East).

Senior midfielder Calum Mallace called this the most balanced offense he’s been part of at Marquette.

“That is the beauty of our at-

tack, we get support on the ball from all different areas,” Bennett said. “And it’s hard for people to pick us up. We’ve looked dangerous Wednesday and (Saturday).”

Freshman forward C. Nortey said the balanced offense makes life easier for him as, typically, the lone striker on the field.

“When everyone steps up like that, as the top striker, the one person up top, you feel like you have people ready to go,” Nortey said. “So when you jump up to flick the ball, you know that people will go and do something with the ball.”

Mallace, who led the team in points (18) and goals (six) as a junior, hasn’t had to play the role of Superman like he did in previous years. This year, he has five points on one goal and three assists. And he’s OK with that.

“I like to get forward, but being a transitional midfielder I have to get back as well too,” Mallace said. “And now it’s nice, when I’m a little tired, to see those guys going forward and you think, ‘Wow, we do have a good chance of scoring here.’”

Nortey is one of those players who have eased the burden on Mallace. Nortey leads Marquette in goals (six) and points (14). His last goal came in a 3-1 victory over Providence on Oct. 8.

“Nortey hasn’t scored the last couple of times, but he is such a handful to contain,” Bennett said.

“He can hold it. He can outrun you. This is a lad that’s causing a lot of (problems). He always

plays two versus one.”

A recent offensive phenomenon has been Jansson, who notched two goals in as many games this past week.

“He’s smooth and he’s silky and when he can get ahold of the ball with a little bit of space he can create things,” Bennett said.

“We knew he would be dangerous. And as soon as he got fit enough to play and adjusted to the way of the American game and the college game and then the way we play, we assumed he’d be able to do something.”

Nortey’s enjoyed getting accustomed to playing with Jansson.

“I always make the run front post, and I know he’s going to be back post. So when the ball misses me, I know he’ll be there,” Nortey said. “So sometimes I try to distract the first person (defender) so he’ll get the ball at the back.”

Jansson credited the balanced offense to the effects of time and practice.

“In the beginning of the season, we had so many injuries, so we had many people playing in new positions. And we didn’t really know how everybody was playing,” Jansson said. “As we practice it every day during the week, it gets more and more comfortable. And we know where our people are going to run. So you don’t have to look as much to know where they are, you just know they’ll be there, and you play the ball.”

Despite my commitment, the teams, save for the women’s soccer team, never delivered any hardware. Sure, they didn’t go winless, but there were zero Big East titles in the coffer.

Unstoppable force heads into final stretch

Women rack up Big East wins in New York trip

By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

It’s getting to the point where neither rain nor a tricky turf field can slow down the runaway train that is the Marquette women’s soccer team (16-2-0, 9-1-0 Big East) on its way to another American Division title.

The Golden Eagles allowed St. John’s (8-8-1, 4-6-0 Big East) and Syracuse (7-6-3, 6-4-0 Big East) to stay in the game for one half in each game but still cruised to their seventh and eighth straight victories, clinching a bye into the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament along the way.

“On Friday, we had to battle some rain and the difficult turf at St. John’s, but I thought we played well and got the win we needed,” sophomore forward Maegan Kelly said.

The team struggled during the beginning of Sunday’s game, sophomore midfielder Cara Jacobson said, but pulled itself together during halftime.

“Sunday we didn’t play all that great in the first half, but we came together as a team at halftime and just talked about the types of adjustments we needed to make and what

was working and what wasn’t.”

Friday’s match with St. John’s was played on FieldTurf at the Red Storm’s Belson Stadium, the first time Marquette has played on FieldTurf this season.

FieldTurf is a brand of artificial playing surface composed of fibers, sand and rubber, according FieldTurf.com.

It is a common surface for many football and baseball stadiums around the world, but not one that is often used for soccer matches.

Kelly, Jacobson and coach Markus Roeders each mentioned the surface in interviews, but all said the team adjusted well and knew what they were up against coming into the game.

“St. John’s uses the turf to their advantage, and it is a tough place to win for that reason,” Roeders said.

“We were eventually able to manage our game and got out to an early lead and held on at the end.”

Sophomore midfielder Taylor Madigan scored her sixth goal of the season in the 26th minute, and Jacobson added the game-winner in the 76th minute, before St. John’s Caitlyn McLaughlin tallied the Red Storm’s only goal in the 81st minute, giving Marquette a 2-1 win.

Sunday’s 4-0 win on a cold, rainy day at SU Stadium against a physical Syracuse team may have been the Golden Eagles most impressive victory to date. After going into halftime locked at 0, Marquette exploded for three goals in the first 15 minutes of the second half.

“Syracuse hadn’t allowed many goals this year, so to get a few right away in the second half I think really took the wind out of their sails,” Roeders said.

Kelly notched her 13th and 14th goals of the season in a span of six minutes to put the game out of reach. Junior defender Ally Miller scored her first goal of the season and junior midfielder Brittney Scott added her second goal of the year.

With Miller’s goal, 18 different Golden Eagles have found the back of the net this year, and Marquette has now outscored its opponents 48-12.

“It just shows the tremendous depth we have as a team, and it doesn’t matter who is out there. We expect everyone to score if they have the opportunity,” Kelly said.

The wins ensure Marquette will host a quarterfinal match on Oct. 30, likely against Notre Dame, who sits in third place of the National Division of the Big East with 17 points.

However, the Golden Eagles will welcome South Florida to Valley Fields on Saturday for Senior Night, where the team will honor its three seniors: forward Lindsey Page, defender Kerry McBride and goalkeeper Natalie Kulla.

“It will be great to recognize our seniors for the contributions they had to our team over the last four years with a chance to clinch a third straight division title,” Roeders said.

Crowded field pinches runners at Adidas Invite Meyele leads the women in “best meet of season”

By A.W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

In their final competitions before the Big East Conference Championships, Marquette’s women’s and men’s cross-country teams finished ninth out of 21 teams and 35th out of 39 teams, respectively.

The women’s team continued its revolving door of race leaders, this time paced by freshman Elisia Meyle’s 28th place finish (22:15.49), at the Bradley Classic in Peoria, Ill. The men relied on a trio of

upperclassmen: seniors Blake Johnson (127th, 24:59.3) and Peter Bolgert (144th, 25:04.9) led, followed by junior Jack Senefeld (169th, 25:16.6) at the Adidas Invitational in Madison, Wis. The race featured twothirds of the NCAA’s top ranked teams competing and 270 individual runners.

For Senefeld, the sheer size of the race caused some problems for the Golden Eagles.

“Around the first turn we got pinched and pushed to the back of the pack,” Senefeld said.

“And about a half-mile into the race, there was a 30-person pile up. Around the race I kept seeing more guys who just got taken down and had to withdraw.”

Senefeld, who has recently recovered from a calf injury,

Even though the seniors seem to improving in time for conference, the women experienced another race led by a freshman, this time Meyle.

“It was my first 6K race,” Meyle said. “And I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of time.

I was pleasantly surprised I did as well. I started at near the back and didn’t catch up until the end of the race.”

Nelson was pleased with Meyle’s first 6K. “I thought she ran a very intelligent race. She was out controlled and mentally strong, and she passed girls throughout the entire race,” Nelson said.

Another middle of the road finish for golf team Windy conditions made final round difficult to play

By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s golf team finished in 11th place out of seventeen teams at the Windon Memorial Classic after shooting a collective 42 over par. Sophomore Michael Motz led the team shooting 7 over par over three rounds and placing in a five-way tie for 33rd on the individual leaderboard.

Motz and senior Matt Haase both started the tournament with team-best 71s in the first round

and 72s in the second, but had poor third rounds resulting in the team’s middle of the road finish.

The Golden Eagles stayed in 11th place until the third round when 10 additional strokes dropped them into the 12th position.

Coach Steven Bailey said that although his team had shown some bright spots, they struggled mightily with big numbers and a lack of consistency within rounds.

“I think in all facets of our game we just weren’t consistent overall,” Bailey said. “That was the best field we’ll probably play this year with two top ten teams out there. Our guys down the stretch made some good runs with birdies. CJ [Swift] put together a good one today and Will (Joiner) birdied four out of five holes in a stretch on Sunday.”

Haase echoed his coach saying the Classic had actually been the best showing as a team this season based on the competition and poor conditions, but that a bunch of simple mistakes plagued Marquette throughout. he said.

“The pins were very tough today, and it was much windier, but I actually played probably the best 16 holes I have played,” Haase said. “I threw it all away at the end and made a bad decision on my 17th hole and finished with a double bogey on my 18th hole.”

Motz said that the Golden Eagles did a good job of playing tough and grinding out each round, which they had focused on in the previous week’s practice, but that the poor conditions on the final day had hampered the team overall.

Sophomore Michael Motz led the team with a 7 over par finish at the Windon Memorial Classic. Marquette finished 11th.

VOLLEYBALL BRIEF The Marquette women’s volleyball team split its two matches last week, falling to Middle Tennessee State on Tuesday before picking up their sixth straight Big East win in a victory over Syracuse.

Middle Tennessee State exacted revenge on Marquette, defeating the Golden Eagles 3-0 just over a month after losing to them at the Al McGuire Center on Sept. 16. It was the first time all season Marquette had lost in straight sets and ended a six-

game winning streak.

Senior outside hitter Ciara Jones led the Golden Eagles with 11 kills while fellow senior Ashley Beyer contributed eight of her own, but the team struggled defensively, allowing the Blue Raiders to hit .369 as a team.

The Golden Eagles rebounded two days later by taking down the Orange 3-1 to remain unbeaten in Big East play. Jones finished with 17 kills and freshman Chelsea Heier continued

her stellar play by recording 57 assists and 10 digs for her third double-double of the season in the win.

Heier was named the Big East Freshman of the Week for the second consecutive week.

The team was also ranked No. 37 in the first RPI poll of the season, which determines which teams make it to the NCAA Tournament, 10 spots up from where they finished a year ago.

“I don’t want to blame it on the conditions, but it was pretty windy out there and there were some challenging hole locations,” Motz said. “I think everyone’s ball striking struggled a little bit (yesterday), and I don’t think anyone was getting up and down as much as they would’ve liked.”

Bailey told his team after the tournament that they had to focus on staying mentally consistent and not allow one shot or one situation to compound into bad stretches. While taking in the positives of competing well against a very challenging field of opposi-

tion, he said that the team is still looking for a good top to bottom performance to allow them to come up with a higher finish.

“It’s just a matter of piecing it all together and having all five guys show up in one round,” Bailey said. “I told the guys after the tournament today that we need to make sure we are making honest assessments of our weaknesses, and that’s what we’re going to be doing this week to get ready for the Pacific Invitational.”

Juan: Can’t take plays off

Photo by Aaron Ledesma/ aaron.ledesma@marquette.edu

Freshman forward Juan Anderson will have to battle sophomore forwards Jamail Jones and Jamil Wilson for playing time this season. He is described as a great defender and rebounder by senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom.

Senior guard Darius JohnsonOdom is already seeing Anderson’s hard work and focus pay off. He also said Anderson’s versatility is evident.

“Juan is one hard rebounder,” Johnson-Odom said. “He gets a lot of offensive rebounds. He’s a great defender, and he can get to the rim and dish the ball off. I think Juan’s going to be a tremendous player.”

With such a talented and deep roster, breaking the rotation won’t be easy for Anderson. But thanks to the help from Jones and a wide variety of skills, he knows what he will have to do in order to have a shot.

“You have to bring it every day,” Anderson said. “You can’t have any lapses or take any plays off and if you do, you get exploited. So the biggest thing is staying consistent.”

Oct. 18, 2011 Yes, I realize that’s today. Write it down on your calendars or journals. Make a mental note. I don’t care how you remember this, I just want to make sure that you do.

Because today is the day the men’s soccer team arrived.

I don’t mean arrived as in came into existence. They’ve been around for a while. What I mean is, for the first time in a long time, this team matters. In a big way.

In an unprecedented run for the long-struggling program, the Golden Eagles knocked off three straight nationally ranked opponents and improved their conference record to a Big East-best 5-0.

This is a far cry from a team that was celebrated for simply tying nationally ranked Connecticut last season.

How have they done it? By believing. Coach Louis Bennett has improved this team slowly and surely, year by year, never giving up hope that one day men’s soccer would be king at Marquette.

Now with the help of senior leader Calum Mallace, junior goalkeeper and metaphorical brick wall David Check, and the freshman wonder boy C. Nortey, this team has finally done it.

Like I said, mark you calenders.

History is now. erik.schmidt@marquette.edu
