New president, new hopes, new ideas First forum with Pilarz had town hall feel with new plans By Katie Doherty kathleen.doherty@marquette.edu

The Rev. Scott Pilarz answers student questions in his first ever forum as Marquette University’s president.

The Rev. Scott Pilarz answered student questions Monday night at his first MUSGsponsored presidential forum. Questions ranged from tuition to diversity to Greek life. Instead of sitting in the provided chair, Pilarz set a conversational tone as he opted to stand and move amongst the crowd. He said the chair was too formal. One student asked Pilarz about the process and training that goes into becoming a university president. Pilarz said he had no previous training when he took the job as the

University of Scranton’s president. He also said there is no one specific method of becoming a president. “The learning curve at the beginning was very steep,” he said. Originally intimidated by the position, Pilarz said he had a lot of “on-the-job training” and asked questions to learn and grow as a president. He said the presidents of Jesuit universities form a community that is very helpful and welcoming. Pilarz said as a president, he had to learn to trust his faculty because it is impossible to micromanage everything at Marquette. Besides living in the Campus Town East apartments, Pilarz said he tries to engage and interact with students any way he can while still getting his footing on campus. One student said See Pilarz, page 5

Sex ed. debated Lakefront future bright Legislators want schools to promote abstinence lifestyle By Olivia Morrissey olivia.morrissey@marquette.edu

Some Wisconsin legislators are looking to alter the Wisconsin Healthy Youth Act to allow schools to emphasize abstinence in sexual education classes as the only way to avoid teen pregnancy. But local advocates of the act say stressing abstinence to teenagers will not be effective. Emma Hynes, Wisconsin population health service fellow at the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, said the abstinence effort is misguided and could lead to health issues for teens. “Basically, the consensus is that if you tell youth not to have sex, they’re still going to have sex, but they will just do so in an unsafe way because they have not been taught effective STD and pregnancy prevention strategies,” Hynes said. “You would be shocked by some of the myths that adolescents think are truths, like you can’t get STDs from oral sex or you can’t get pregnant the first time you have sex.” The proposed Senate Bill 237 would give local school boards the ability to customize their

sexual education programs and opt out of the requirement to teach contraceptive use in schools, a notable change in the state’s current law, the Health Youth Act. The act aims to reduce risky behavior among teenagers by providing medically accurate, age-appropriate and comprehensive education. It was proposed in 2009 and enacted in 2010 after several years of increased rates of sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy in Wisconsin, most notably in the city of Milwaukee. From 2006 to 2008, teen birth rates (births per 1,000 females) among women ages 15 to 19 remained relatively high in most Wisconsin counties, with 10 counties exceeding a birth rate greater than 37.6 per 1,000 females. The highest birth rate during this time was seen in Menominee County, with 138.5 births per 1,000 women, followed by Milwaukee County, with 63.8 births per 1,000 women, according to the Wisconsin Youth Sexual Behavior and Outcomes report by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. In 2008, 1 in 12 births in Wisconsin were to teenage mothers, a 13 percent decrease since 2000. Both the state and the city of Milwaukee saw a stagnant birth rate between the years of 2006 and See Abstinence, page 5

between three and five years, and could be paid for through tax increments, Cudahy said. Regardless of how it’s funded, Cudahy said the current state of the lakefront has several areas where it can be improved. “No one wants (the downtown transit center) there, not even the bus drivers,” he said. “It’s ugly and blocks the view of the lakefront. We can do a lot better than that.” Cudahy said the intersection that gets tourists to Summerfest and Discovery World is a disaster and could be safer for visitors. “We are proposing a spiral structure that descends on the other side,” Cudahy said. “It would be very attractive and very good for tourists.” The Hoan Bridge, which caused traffic problems in 2001 when there was a crack in the steel support, could also be improved, he said. “There’s no way to walk across it,” Cudahy said. ”And the two big spurs on the freeway don’t belong there.” The committee wasn’t the only group involved in the planning. The Milwaukee Department of City Development was involved as well, according to spokesman Jeff Fleming. “(This is) a great opportunity for Milwaukee’s lakefront,”

The Milwaukee County LongRange Lakefront Planning Committee presented a plan to redevelop some of the area’s most desirable real estate along the lakefront. According to Michael Cudahy, a Milwaukee philanthropist and member of the 13-person

committee, the plans include redeveloping the downtown transit center, reconstructing Lincoln Memorial Drive and Michigan Street and improving O’Donnell Park. The plans also involve reconfiguring the Lake Interchange and making improvements to the Hoan Bridge, including a bike and pedestrian path. “Essentially what we’re doing is making the lakefront more accessible and attractive,” Cudahy said. He said this area has the most valuable real estate in Wisconsin and that if a developer wanted to build in the area, they would be in a “fabulous spot.” The renovation could take

Tip: Eat before you drink Study shows “drunkorexia” as an increasing problem By Sarah Hauer sarah.hauer@marquette.edu

Consuming alcohol without eating, sometimes referred to as “drunkorexia,” is a growing trend among students and has long-term effects on the body. In a survey completed by students at the University of Missouri-Columbia, one in six students said they restricted food in order to consume alcohol within the last year. Victoria Osborne, assistant professor at the university and lead researcher, said the most common reasons to restrict food were to avoid gaining weight, get drunk faster and to save money on food in order to buy alcohol. Of the respondents who said they engaged in drunkorexia behaviors, three out of four were women. Osborne said there is a correlation between eating disorders and alcohol abuse, and such behaviors can begin at any point during one’s life. According to the National Eating Disorder Association, women Photo by Brittany McGrail/brittany.mcgrail@marquette.edu who have either anorexia or buli- More college students are choosing not to eat before they drink in order to mia outnumber men by 10 to one. save money and feel more of the effects of their beverage. “People may not believe what they are doing is bad,” Osborne combined people run into “double some do not know the effects of said. trouble.” their actions.

Second term for Flynn Police chief’s re-appointment makes history By Matt Gozun benjaminmatthew.gozun@marquette.edu

In a unanimous decision, Milwaukee’s Police and Fire Commission appointed current police chief Ed Flynn to another four year term on Thursday. Flynn’s second term marks the first time in Milwaukee history a police chief has been reappointed since the introduction of term limits in 1984. “I am deeply grateful for this vote of confidence,” said Flynn before the six-person committee. “I can’t tell you what it means to me.”

The reappointment came after a closed door meeting during which the commissioners evaluated Flynn’s performance. Recently, the Police Department has been under fire for allegations of delayed responses to 911 calls. Before 1984, police chiefs were given lifetime appointments, but after the retirement of Harold Breier, they were appointed to seven-year terms. The length of a term was later reduced to just four years following the appointment of Nannette Hegarty in 2003. Of the five Milwaukee police chiefs appointed in the past 27 years, Flynn has been the only one asked to stay for an additional term. One, Robert Ziarnik, retired two years early in 1989. Another, Arthur Jones, reapplied for the position, but

was let go in 2003. Flynn came to Milwaukee in 2008 after serving as police commissioner in Springfield, Mass. for two years. Previously, Flynn had worked as the Massachusetts secretary of public safety and the chief of police for Arlington, Va. On Thursday, however, the 63-year-old Flynn suggested that Milwaukee was the final stop on his career. “How long I stay, at this part of my life, is not a function of some other department,” Flynn said to reporters. “This is the police department that is going to be my legacy department.” Flynn is expected to be sworn in again early next year before the end of his first term on Jan. 8.

Libyans rejoice in wake of Gadhafi’s death

Photo by Sergei Grits/Associated Press

Moammar Gadhafi (left) was killed last Thursday in a crossfire, causing Libyan citizens to celebrate in their country’s newfound sense of liberation from dictatorial style government.

World sees gruesome images of leader’s remains By Elise Angelopulos elise.angelopulos@marquette.edu

Former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was killed last Thursday in his hometown stronghold of Sirte, months after the capitol city of Tripoli fell to rebel forces. Gadhafi was the leader of Libya for more than 42 years in what the New York Times called “an erratic authoritarian rule.” The International Criminal Court at The Hague had issued an arrest warrant for Gadhafi on June 27 on charges of crimes against humanity, including responsibility for the imprisonment and cruel murder of civilians, according to

the New York Times. Circumstances of Gadhafi’s death remain unclear, and calls for an investigation of his capture and death have been raised. According to former acting Libyan Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril, loyalist defense groups tried to protect Gadhafi, but the dictator was overrun and captured by the National Liberation Army, the military arm of Libya’s new de facto government the National Transitional Council. Jibril said the deposed leader was subsequently killed in crossfire while in custody. One of Gadhafi’s sons, Moatessem, was also killed by NATO forces while the dictator’s convoy attempted to escape Sirte, the NTC said. Two graphic videos released online Thursday morning showed a bloodied Gadhafi first being held by rebels, and then lying on the ground, apparently

dead from a gunshot wound to the head. Subsequent photos released Friday morning on various news sites showed Gadhafi’s lifeless body with bullet holes, scratches and open wounds. Gadhafi’s body was held in a commercial freezer at a shopping center Friday in Misrata, according to the New York Times. Peggy Harrington, a sophomore in the College of Communication, said she felt the gruesome video of Gadhafi’s death was scary and offensive. “I thought it shouldn’t be on television,” Harrington said. “It was uncalled for. I know he wasn’t a good guy but still … (the image of Gadhafi’s body) was unnecessary.” Gadhafi’s death is the latest and most noteworthy development in Libya’s fight for freedom, part of the Arab Spring that spurred prodemocracy protests across the Arab world earlier this year.

Richard Friman, a professor of international politics at Marquette, said that eliminating Gadhafi is just the beginning of the political uprising. “The movement seems to be for an elected government,” Friman said. “Now that the common enemy (Gadhafi) is gone, there is a potential for different groups to form and create this government.” According to the New York Times, Gadhafi had been responsible for terrorist attacks throughout the 1980s. His most infamous attack was the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people. The Arab League begged the United Nations Security Council to institute a “no-fly zone” over Libya in attempts to prevent Gadhafi from attacking his own people during the recent political uprisings, according to AlJazeera, a news site dedicated to

covering Middle East news. A coalition of foreign military forces, including the U.S., eventually enforced the no-fly zone to aid the anti-Gadhafi rebels. In a press release, President Obama extended congratulations on behalf of the United States to Libyan citizens who could now embark on a “journey of liberation” without dictatorship. Keelan Murphy, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration said it is the right of oppressed people to seek a fair government. “An unfair ruler is an unfair ruler,” Murphy said. “No matter what country you are from, no one wants to see innocent people being treated unfairly.” Although Gadhafi’s long reign of dictatorship has ended, the political and social fate of Libya remains unclear. “What they have just finished (eliminating Gadhafi) is the easiest part,” Friman said.

Marijuana debate lights up American support increases for legalization of drug

Who supports marijuana legalization and who doesn’t.

100%

Brewers wow on the field and TV

By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Half of Americans are in favor of legalizing marijuana, according to a new Gallup Poll. The illegal drug is currently allowed for medicinal purposes in 14 states and the District of Columbia but is still considered an illegal substance by the federal government regardless of intended use. The 50 percent approval jumped 4 percent from last year, making it a record high in the more than 30-year history of the survey. Data from the 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health shows 16.7 million Americans over the age of 12 used marijuana at least once during the month prior to being interviews. Michael O’Hear, associate dean for research and professor of law, said though use has declined since its popular period during the 1970’s, recreational use is still prevalent. “A great many Americans have at some time tried marijuana or are personally acquainted with someone who has been a user,” O’Hear said. A student in the College of Nursing, who wished to remain anonymous, said the legalization of marijuana would not create problems within the healthcare field. “Even those who are using the drug are using a minimal amount that would not necessarily pose any danger,” the student said. “If we were to legalize it, I don’t think there would be very many issues.” As a former resident assistant, the student also believes

legalizing the drug would cut down on the number of times MPD is called. “I don’t see the point in calling MPD for marijuana, an illegal drug, when there is illegal (underage) drinking occurring in the next room,” the student said. “If you are going to be arrested or fined for one legal activity, why not another?” O’Hear said claims regarding the dangers of marijuana do not have as much credibility as before. “I don’t mean to say that marijuana use is or should be regarded as a good thing,” O’Hear said. “But I suspect that most Americans now recognize that its dangers are not a lot greater than those of other substances whose legality we tolerate, such as alcohol.” The greatest support for decriminalizing marijuana comes from liberals and people ages 18 to 49, according to the Gallup results gathered from a survey on crime taken Oct. 6-9 of this year.

Support for legalization has been on the rise since 2000, and initiatives for medicinal purposes have gained national attention but have had little success. California’s Proposition 19 was an attempt to allow the growing, ownership, sale and use of cannabis for people ages 21 and up. Fifty-six percent of voters rejected the proposition last November. Richard Friman, professor of political science, said the favorable poll numbers would not have an impact on reform of drug laws. “Federal-level resistance to any sort of legalization remains strong (within the executive and Congress) and is evidenced by federal law enforcement crackdowns against medical marijuana even in states where selective legalization has taken place,” Friman said in an email. “With the 2012 election looming, any stance for an incumbent or candidate that can be portrayed by an opponent as being ‘soft on crime’ would be a liability.”

Pilarz: Students ask the tough questions Renovate: Lakefront area that on behalf of all students, she wanted to thank Pilarz for his involvement. Pilarz will teach an English course on British Literature in the 16th century Monday afternoons next semester. When asked about fine arts programs at Marquette, Pilarz admitted that he did not know the university had a dance minor. “I have a lot to learn about Marquette,” Pilarz said. Liz McGovern, a sophomore in the College of Communication, asked Pilarz what he thought of Greek life’s presence on campus and the stereotypes associated with it. Pilarz said Greek life is brand new to him, as this is the first campus he has been on where it exists. “I want to learn because I want to get beyond those stereotypes,” he said. Another student tour guide said he always gets asked about Marquette’s high tuition. He asked Pilarz if he expects the tuition rate to ever drop. The president said he expects it will not.

Pilarz said Marquette can work to provide as much financial aid as possible and to reduce incremental increases in tuition. He added that the university currently gives out about $95 million in financial aid a year. Kristen Steinfeld, a sophomore in the College of Business Administration, asked if the university plans on creating any more residential space on campus. Pilarz said he is confident that the university will be fine through the next year, but he is looking toward what campus housing will look like in 10 years. He said this topic is a priority. On the issue of diversity on campus, Pilarz noted that there is only one tenured AfricanAmerican male. This is unacceptable, he said. Marquette has a duty to enhance diversity in all aspects, Pilarz said. He also said that a quarter of the freshman class are the first in their families to attend a university. As a first-generation college graduate, Pilarz said he could relate to them.

As for the drama in the Big East conference, the president said the conference will remain competitive in basketball. There is, however, one sports aspect that Pilarz said he will not budge on — football. He said there are better ways to spend money at Marquette. “As long as I’m president we’re never going to have football,” he said. Pilarz said one of the biggest struggles he faces as president and balancing his religious duties, is time. He said he wishes he could have more time for prayer, to say mass and to interact with campus ministry. Trent Carlson, executive vice-president of the Marquette University Student Government, said MUSG approached Pilarz about continuing the forums started by the Rev. Robert A. Wild, Marquette’s former president, to continue dialogue between students and the presidents. “Student interaction with the president has always been important to us,” Carlson said.

Lakefront renewal efforts include connecting the area with downtown.

Fleming said. He said the city examined key issues in the development of the lakefront and in connecting it to downtown. “A lot of effort (was put into) to what is possible, reasonable, what ought to be protected,” Fleming said. He said the committee was positive and produced some consensus recommendations, and that the department he works for was

very involved. Karla Thorpe, a senior in the College of Communication, appreciates the lakefront for what it is right now and does not necessarily see the need for renovations. “I think it’s really pretty, especially in the summer,” Thorpe said. “A lot of people are on the beaches in the summer, and the roller blade trails are nice.”

2008 but at much different levels. According to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services report, in 2006, about 1 in 6 births in Milwaukee was to a mother under the age of 20, the sixth highest rate among large US cities. It was also 53 percent higher than the national rate. Birth rates in Wisconsin among African-American, American Indian, Laotian/Hmong and Latino teenagers were the highest in the state in 2008. They were five times higher than the birth rates of white teenagers, according to

the same report. “It (the high birth rate among minorities) was tragically sad and unacceptable,” said Sarah Finger, executive director of the Wisconsin Alliance for Women’s Health, an organization that seeks to advance comprehensive women’s health in Wisconsin. “But the Healthy Youth Act has brought Wisconsin into compliance with the standards in effective public health education set by medical professionals.” The newness of the Healthy Youth Act limits data measuring

its effectiveness, but the available statistics are favorable, especially in Milwaukee. In 2009, the teenage birth rate in the city was 41.3 births per 1,000 women, about half the rate in 2008. Preliminary data shows a further decrease to 35.68 in 2010, according to the United Way of Greater Milwaukee website, a leading organization in the effort to reduce the city’s rate of teen births. But despite the decrease in teen pregnancy rates, Susan Armacost, legislative director of Wisconsin Right to Life, the largest pro-life organization in Wisconsin, said school districts should be able to decide what type of sex education they teach their students. “We feel it must be left up to the local school boards to decide whether they want to provide comprehensive or abstinenceonly education in their schools,” Armacost said. Finger said this bill comes against the advice of healthcare professionals and blames the move on the current political climate in Wisconsin and the upcoming election year. “The legislative majority has only a small window of opportunity to push through an antireproductive health agenda that is out of step with Wisconsin voters and values,” she said. “Their head-in-the-sand approach is making it harder and harder for us to be our healthiest.” Finger also said that one of the authors of the bill is a physician and that “she should know better.” “(The Wisconsin legislature) should be able to trust professionals in the medical community in making these decisions, and the fact that we have a physician as an author of this bill is really scary,” she said.

Innovation abounds with new building

Story by Erica Breunlin erica.breunlin@marquette.edu

With a new facility at 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, the College of Engineering is

giving students an innovative way to learn. “The goal of the building was to change the way we educate our students,” said University Architect Tom Ganey. He and the engineering department wanted to give students a hands-on experience in the new building, from the structure of the hall itself to its updated equipment and spacious labs. Ceilings are open. Steel support beams are exposed. Concrete floors have been stained

and sealed but left with their natural cracks. Students’ experience in the engineering building is more than hands-on – it’s green. With state-of-the-art technology like a heat recovery chiller that captures heat not being used and recycles its energy, the new hall is energy efficient and easy on the environment. The building has walls made of reclaimed and recycled wood, LED lighting that uses less energy and lasts longer

than fluorescent lighting and floorto-ceiling windows that both heat and light the interior. Glass windows inside the building separate student lounges from labs, creating an interactive setting where visitors can observe students in action. “We wanted to make it visible, so people can see the activity,” Ganey said. Ganey added that a major benefit of the new structure is its sheer size, as it will accommodate all

engineering disciplines in one academic building. “We’re big enough to do big things, but small enough to be all together,” Ganey said. While lab spaces on the ground, and first stories opened for class use this fall, the top three floors of the building are still under construction. Ganey gave reporters from the Marquette Tribune an inside look into this new building, where learning happens around literally every corner.

Marquette’s new Engin eering Hall opened its ground and first storie will join in the new fac s ility upon completion of the building’s top thr to students in fall 2011. Faculty ee stories around summ er 2012.

Senior defender Kerry McBride has been a part of all three Big East American Division titles the past three seasons.

Marquette defeated 3-2 in overtime on Sept. 25, the Golden Eagles will be looking to advance to the semifinals of the Big East Championship tournament for the fourth straight season. Although it is difficult to beat an opponent twice in a season, it’s

even tougher to bet against this team at home. The win over South Florida pushed Marquette’s home unbeaten streak to 19 games. “I think Notre Dame is maybe the most difficult matchup we could ask for, but we’re playing them at home,” Roeders said. “I think they will be better than they

were last time, but I also think we will be better.” The confidence that this squad is showing on the field is going to be difficult to slow down Sunday and then again when it hosts an NCAA Tournament regional in two and a half weeks.

There is plenty of work to be done and games to be won for that to happen. This column is meant to honor defender Kerry McBride, forward Lindsey Page and goalkeeper Natalie Kulla, the team’s three seniors who have been a part of these glorious championship runs from day one. McBride is the most dominant defender I have ever seen in the collegiate game, man or woman. She is taller, stronger and faster than all players she faces. She has a tremendous soccer IQ and is cool, calm and collected under pressure. Carrying on the Spain theme, See Fuego, page 16

No pressure, Marquette. On Wednesday, the men’s soccer team (8-6-2, 6-1-0 Big East) travels to No. 1/1 Connecticut (13-1-2, 4-1-2 Big East) to battle for the top spot in the Blue Division of the Big East. Marquette owns the top spot with 18 points while Connecticut is second with 14. Both teams have two matches remaining on the season, including Wednesday’s match. With a victory or draw, Marquette clinches the top spot in the division — Marquette’s first ever. Its best finish in the division was a sixth place finish in 2010. If Marquette loses, then the winner of the Blue Division will be determined in season finale. “This is a huge game, but I don’t really look at it any differently than any game we’ve played so far this year,” senior midfielder Calum Mallace said. “Coach always reiterates how we need to take one game at a time. So we’re not really concerned

about winning the league. We’re just concerned about getting a result at (Connecticut).” Connecticut’s season finale is against last place Seton Hall (49-2, 0-6-0 Big East), who Marquette defeated 3-0 Saturday, while Marquette battles secondto-last-place Pittsburgh (4-11-1, 2-5-0 Big East). Both matches are Saturday. “They (the Huskies) should be fearful of us. We’re the one with the better record going into this

“They (the Huskies) should be fearful of us. We’re the one with the better record going into this game.” Ryan Robb Junior midfielder game,” junior midfielder Ryan Robb said. “They need to win this game. We need to win that game, but we also have the next game as well.” The Huskies drew 5,100 people to witness its 0-0 draw to Georgetown on Saturday in its last home game, meaning Marquette will have to not only battle the Huskies but also the crowd. “It’s going to be a feisty game and people are going to be at it

from the start,” Robb said. “I’m just excited to play like the other guys are, and they get a big crowd. That’s why you come to these schools, to play in these big games.” Marquette boasts the Big East’s third-best scoring offense (1.62 goals per game, 26 in 16 games) while Connecticut owns the No. 1 defense (.31 goals allowed per game, five in 16 games). Connecticut freshman goalkeeper Andre Blake leads the nation in save percentage through games played Monday Oct. 16 and leads the Big East in that category (.922). He has 11 shutouts to lead the Big East, with seven being the second most. “I would hope it would be a lower scoring game. When we the keep the score low we got a much better chance of winning,” coach Louis Bennett said. “We need to curb their enthusiasm. If they start getting on a roll and scoring goals, can we come after them? Yes. But I would prefer if it were a lower scoring game.” Marquette tied then-No. 3 Connecticut 1-1 on Oct. 1 last season, but Bennett said it won’t be overly helpful because this is a different game.

Senior Tina Radan won the Draw E championship, pulling out a hard-fought semifinals win over Iowa State’s Caroline Andersen (6-1, 2-6, 6-2) and dispatching Kansas’s Amy Barnthouse (6-1, 6-3) in the final. Senior Olga Fischer won the Draw A consolation title with decisive victories over Iowa State’s Tessa Lang (6-2, 6-2) and Alecia Krauss (6-2, 6-3.). Fischer also teamed with sophomore Rocio Diaz to win the consolation doubles round, recording back to back 8-3 wins over Iowa State and Indiana. Fischer said that the Golden Eagles wanted to finish the fall season strong in the invitational and that determining their opponents’ strengths and weaknesses was key to their success. “Every match is different because each opponent plays

differently,” Fischer said. “We had to use appropriate shots against different opponents in order to win and see where there weaknesses were and how we could take advantage of them.” Fischer attributed her doubles success with Diaz to the duo’s strong relationship. “Rocky (Diaz) and I have a very special connection,” Fischer said. “We understand each other on and off the court, so I just know when I hit a shot where she’s going to go, because we’ve played together so much.” Radan said that Marquette’s preparation before and consistency during the tournament helped it continue to improve for the spring. “Our preparation was much better than it had been for other fall tournaments,” Radan said. “Basically everybody played more consistently than they had in other tournaments. We weren’t necessarily better than our opponents, but we consistently fought and had a stronger will to win in the end.” Coach Jody Bronson said she was very pleased with her team’s performance and that they had come a long way since the beginning of fall, particularly in their ability to manage matches.

“We really concentrated on dictating the pace of the match,” Bronson said. “That means being aggressive when we needed to be, going after the ball, hitting it harder and getting our opponents on defense initially.” For the next few weeks, the Golden Eagles will undergo a series of conditioning and individual workouts. Though fall competition is over, there are still a lot of decisions to be made regarding player placement, as many of the singles spots are still up for grabs. “I think the team is really competitive, and we are still fighting for spots,” Fischer said. “Everyone still wants to play in the top spot, and everyone is really working hard for that.” Bronson said that she still has much to evaluate, and no particular position is set moving from fall to spring. Between now and January, she will continue to gauge each player’s individual strengths and weaknesses. “Right now it’s hard to say what our lineups will be come January,” Bronson said. “Rocio (Diaz) and Olga (Fischer) play well together in doubles, and we had them there because they had a good season last year, but you have to win two of three doubles points so we still have to set it up. Ana (Pimienta) also hasn’t been able to serve a lot, so we have to wait until January when her shoulder is a little bit stronger.”

Oct. 25, 2009 Nowadays the women’s soccer team winning conference championships is bordering on redundant. But three years ago the lady Golden Eagles were still newbies in the Big East and, alas, had never won an American Division title. On this date two seasons ago, on the back of senior midfielder Becky Ryan’s goal, Marquette knocked off St. John’s 1-0 to end the season 7-2-2 in conference play and claim its first-ever Big East American Division trophy. It was a watershed moment for a program that had achieved suc-

cess before but had never quite made it to the top of the Big East mountain. Fittingly, the victory over the Red Storm was also the 200th win in the esteemed career of coach Markus Roeders, who would go on to win Big East Coach of the Year that year. Of course, the women’s soccer juggernaut is only getting stronger as it claimed its third straight American Division title over the weekend and looks to continue rewriting history one year at a time. erik.schmidt@marquette.edu

men’s tennis

Mamalat shows how it’s done Rodecap hopes the sophomore’s fire rubs off on others By A. W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

With his friend and high school nemesis freshman Michael Zhu of Michigan across the net, sophomore Dan Mamalat of the Marquette men’s tennis team acknowledged that this was a match that he could not afford to lose. The USTA/ITA Midwest Regional Championships was already a big tournament, but this added incentive gave him the competitive edge he needed. “In juniors I had lost nine straight times to him,” Mamalat said. “But I was able to pull it out, although it wasn’t easy. It gave me so much confidence and allowed me to improve.” Mamalat won the match (6-3, 7-6), and showed the competitive nature that defined his fall season. He led Marquette in singles play as he was the only Golden Eagle at the ITA All-American Championships and the only one to compete at the top flight of the USTA/ITA Midwest Regional. Although his regional campaign ended with a 2-6, 7-5, 4-6 loss to 14th-seeded Sam Keeton of Notre Dame at the ITA AllAmerican Championships, Mamalat still led the Golden Eagles’ singles campaign throughout. Coach Steve Rodecap said his fire can transfer throughout the entire team. “I always joke with (Mamalat) that he has no backhand and no athleticism, but he’s still a very good player,” Rodecap said. “He goes out there and competes at a very high level. It rubs off on other guys, and hopefully as the season goes on our younger guys

can be around. They need to be around him. He’s our sparkplug.” The elite competition that he faced at the ITA All-American and USTA/ITA Midwest Regional motivated him to be better. “I got to see what it takes to take my game to the next level,” Mamalat said. “You get to see how the best players react in certain pressure situations. They never panic. Even when it’s close, they always keep moving along and stay aggressive. Coach and I agree that (aggressiveness) is something I need to get better at.” But that’s not all. “Dan needs to work on his transition game, staying aggressive, and staying offensive on the serve,” Rodecap said. Freshman Vukasin Teofanovic, of Serbia, cited Mamalat’s energy as a positive example for the team and a good quality that the less experienced players can emulate. “Dan is the guy on the team who was there to pump people up,” Teofanovic said. “He had a great season and has a lot of energy. He taught us to be mentally strong.”

In doubles, Rodecap was pleased with the team’s effort but knows there’s work to be done. “I was pleased with our doubles from our younger guys. We did pretty well,” Rodecap said. “We played pretty well at Notre Dame. We need to work on being more aggressive, and obviously there’s still things you want to improve on. But I was really pleased.” According to Rodecap, the team’s four freshmen – Teofanovic, David Packowitz, James Stark and Cameron Tehrani – have succeeded even when competing in higher levels. “Our four young freshmen are good and very committed,” Rodecap said. “They’ve posted good results in the fall. Now it’s important for them to know how to sustain good results, not just have one good weekend and then take a match off.” For Teofanovic, Mamalat and Rodecap, Marquette must be more energetic in the spring. It was lacking in the fall. “We’ve got to play every match, from wire to wire,” Rodecap said.

McBride would play the role of Pique, a tall, strong defenseman who can outmuscle any attacker, yet has the ball control and speed to orchestrate attacks from the back. McBride was a Soccer America pre-season All-American as well as the Big East’s Preseason Defensive Player of the Year and has lived up to her billing, being named Big East Defender of the Week and to the Big East Honor Roll twice apiece. A strong defense may be the sum of its parts, but this part is pretty darn good. Next we have Page. The Alsip, Ill., native took a few years to bloom, but has burst onto the scene in her senior year, providing key goals and assists from the first week of play, scoring a game-winning goal in overtime against Northwestern on Aug. 21. After scoring four goals in three years, Page busted out this season, scoring six times and amassing a career-high 16 points, good for second best on the team. She plays the role Pedro does for Spain, coming on as a super sub with a burst of energy whenever added firepower is needed. She may not have the eye popping goal totals of a David Villa — played by sophomore forward Maegan Kelly — but her

tenacity is an asset no team can do without. Last but not least, we have the brick wall better known as Kulla. She will go down not only as the best keeper in Marquette history but as one of the best in the history of college soccer. Her 42 shutouts place her second all-time in NCAA history, two behind Rutgers’ Erin Guthrie, the current record holder. She has also amassed a program best 57 wins in her four year career. She is Iker Casillas in game and metaphor. She has tremendous athleticism, getting her hands on balls that seemed impossible; great reflexes, managing to make point blank saves with regularity; and a commanding presence, organizing the backline at all times. These three seniors have helped bring the program to new heights in the standings and in the rankings. They are not done yet, though. The ultimate send-off of reaching the College Cup Final Four is still in play. Can they really live up to their Spanish counterparts and reach the top of the mountain? Si se puede. No matter what happens, though, it has been an honor to watch them play. andrei.greska@marquette.edu
