Some students are using humor to respond to the large influx of seagulls on campus while the university is working with an environmental firm to humanely manage the amount of birds.

Prosecuting sexual assaults This is a rare case of successfully prosecuted sexual assaults.

While Marquette reported an average of 19 sexual assault cases a year, only two or three are ever brought to court, said Chris Liegel, head of the sensitive crimes unit in Milwaukee’s District Attorney’s office.

In September 2012, a man approached a 21-year-old Marquette student near 17th Street and Kilbourn Avenue late in the evening as she headed home from classes.

The man began to touch the woman’s buttocks, even after she told him to stop, according to court records.

Two days later, the same man

approached another Marquette student, this one a 20-year-old walking down W. Wells Street around 10 p.m. He reportedly grabbed her buttocks and she tried to pull away, but he then grabbed her breasts.

She eventually broke free, ran away and called police, who arrested the man on the 2600 block of W. Wells, the court records say.

The man was Kendrick Mitchell, a 21-year-old who was eventually found guilty of one count of fourth degree sexual assault and one count of obstructing an officer. He was sentenced to nine months in prison and 18 months of probation, according to court records.

Marquette has been without a fundraising campaign for nine years — an abnormally long amount of time for universities — and there are plans to change that.

Vice President for University

Advancement Michael VanDerhoef said Marquette is looking to start a new campaign July 1, 2016.

“Yes, we’ve been out of campaign too long,” VanDerhoef said. “We’ve got to get back in.”

Before kicking the campaign off, though, the university needs to figure out a few things. Marquette will take the next calendar year to see what areas could benefit from a fundraising campaign, using information from See Campaign, Page 4

Marquette graduate James Foley killed

by Islamic militants Journalist and Marquette alumnus James Foley was killed by Islamic State militants in a video they posted online at the end of August. His execution was said to be in retaliation to American airstrikes on the Islamic State. Foley went missing while on a journalism assignment in Syria in November 2012. A prayer vigil to honor Foley’s life was held in the Church of the Gesu shortly after his death and it was attended by hundreds of Foley’s friends and former classmates.

Philosophy class disagreement leads to dismissal of professor John McAdams, visit from Westboro Baptist Church Political science professor John McAdams was suspended from Marquette in December 2014 for criticizing former teaching assistant Cheryl Abbate on his blog. He criticized a disagreement on homosexual marriage that Abbate had with a student in a blog post that gained

national attention. The Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kansas picketed campus in response to the disagreement. McAdams’ classes for the spring semester were cancelled, according to his blog. Marquette then began the process to revoke his tenure and dismiss him from faculty.

Gesu pastor John Schlegel diagnosed with inoperable cancer Gesu Pastor John Schlegel announced in a letter to his congregation in March that he was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer.

He was able to visit the Vatican and celebrate Mass with Pope Francis in late March. Since his diagnosis, Schlegel has received an overflowing amount of support from civic leaders, church leaders, students, students’ families and couples he has married.

The Department of Public Safety transitions into a police force Gov. Scott Walker came to campus last April and signed legislation granting Marquette the permission to transition DPS into a police force. DPS then held an open forum to gather community input on the possible transition. At University President Michael Lovell’s State of the University address in January, he announced Marquette’s decision to commission a police force.

Significant seagull increase results in MU response An unnamed firm is helping the university regulate local birds

By Andrew Schilling

Some students compare campus to Alfred Hitchcock’s movie ‘The Birds.’

The Marquette campus is experiencing a seagull problem and the university is working to fix it.

“Beginning last year, the university noted a significant increase in the number of seagulls on campus,” said Lora Strigens, chief university planner and architect, in a university statement.

“Left unchecked, an overpopulation of seagulls could lead to human health and safety concerns. We also have a secondary concern about damage to our facilities.”

The university said it is working with an experienced environmental firm to humanely manage the birds. There was no comment when asked the name of the firm or for further details.

Sleep deprivation in college College-age bodies are naturally trying to become early risers

By Devi Shastri

devi.shastri@marquette.edu

Finals are a time of sacrifice and, for college students, sleep often takes a lower priority than getting in as many hours of studying as humanly possible.

In 2012, 47.1 percent of Marquette students reported that sleepiness interfered significantly with daytime activities – nearly four percent higher than the national average, according to the National College Health Assessment, conducted by the Marquette University Medical Clinic.

Researchers and health professionals have warned that skimping on hours of sleep can have significant detrimental effects on productivity and a person’s overall health. Jennifer Evans, an assistant professor in the department of biomedical sciences, researches circadian rhythms, the body’s 24-hour sleep-wake cycle, in her lab by working to understand people’s biological clocks.

“We know that most people need more sleep,” Evans said.

“What do you do on Saturday morning; sleep in. This is your body telling you that you need to recover some sleep because you’ve lost it during the week. Your body is telling you that whatever schedule you have during the week is not the optimal one.”

Evans explained that there are two distinct processes that researchers are investigating: the circadian process (when your body says to sleep and when to wake up) and the sleep homeostat (which tells your body how much sleep it needs). Not getting enough sleep at the right

times can lead to many side ef“Trying to go to sleep early fects including, high blood (to wake up early in the mornpressure, diabetes, forgetful- ing) is an exercise in futility,” ness and inability to concen- Evans said. “Just like it’s hard trate, according to the American to wake up early, it’s also hard Academy of Sleep Medicine. to go to sleep early.

from year to year. At the same time, many costs associated with running a university are fixed and not directly scaled to the number of students. Year after year, the cost of faculty, staff, materials and resources continues to rise.

“We can’t keep the escalation on the tuition side going the way it has been,” VanDerhoef said.

“How do you deal with the rising costs over time in a way that doesn’t put it all on the backs of students? (That’s) where fundraising comes in.”

Advancement raises money for two purposes: providing current funds and growing the endowment. Through invested money, the endowment provides the university with regular income, which is a necessary aspect of maintaining and improving the university. The market value of Marquette’s endowment is $545 million, with the net operating income of $12 million at year-end.

“If we want to ensure the longterm vitality of Marquette University, we have to grow our endowment,” VanDerhoef said. “If we do that, a lot of other things become possible because we become less dependent on tuition revenue. We can be more

generous with financial aid.”

FUNDING FROM ALUMNI Going forward, VanDerhoef said future alumni need to remember that all students have benefited from previous donors through scholarships, services or physical resources. Nearly every aspect of the university is touched by money collected through fundraising.

“Just like others have made it possible for us when we were here, I think we owe it to future generations to do the same,” VanDerhoef said.

Still, for some upcoming graduates like Angie Comte, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, it can be difficult to consider donating money.

“You’re just starting to pay your student loans and I have to pay for other things,” Comte said. “I think donating is pretty unrealistic.”

She said she may be able to give to Marquette financially in the future. For the time being, Comte said donating other talents, such as assisting with mentor programs, may be her only option.

VanDerhoef said the priority alumni place on donating to Marquette is below average. He pointed to a study conducted at Marquette two years ago that showed alumni do not place Marquette as their first or second priority whereas, nationally, higher education institutions rank second.

“The way we are perceived by our alumni, we’re typically third,” VanDerhoef said. “I think we need to do a better job of pointing out why Marquette is worthy of people’s support at higher levels.”

New sign language classes offered for fall semester Two elective courses created after student demand recognized

By Nicki Perry

nicolette.perry@marquette.edu

The Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology added two new sign language courses to its fall curriculum.

The sign language courses will not fill any requirements for speech pathology majors but will instead count as general electives.

“During the first hour that the sign language courses became available for enrollment, 17 students enrolled,” said Linda Crowe, chair of the Speech

Pathology and Audiology Department, in an email. “As of noon Monday, April 27, 39 students had enrolled in the Introduction to Sign Language courses.”

After Crowe was hired in January, she asked about offering a sign language course based on perceived interest across campus. She investigated the option once students and faculty began contacting her about making a sign language course possible for the fall.

“First, I contacted area sign language interpreters to see if anyone in the Milwaukee community had previously taught sign language, and if anyone was interested in teaching an introductory sign language course at Marquette,” Crowe said.

Seven sign language

instructors and interpreters responded and indicated interest. Then she needed approval from the College of Health Sciences dean’s office to hire an adjunct professor.

Once Crowe received approval, it became a team effort. She said Jessica Payson, the department’s office associate, worked with the College of Health Sciences Assistant Dean Michelle Shuh and Alex Frain from the registrar’s office to create Introduction to Sign Language.

“Should the introduction to sign language course prove successful, it is anticipated that an intermediate sign language course will be offered in the spring 2016 semester,” Crowe said. “However, this will depend on enrollment and instructor availability.”

Jesuit to celebrate last Tuesday Mass before leaving The Rev. Daniel Hendrickson will start new job in Nebraska

By Allison Dikanovic

allison.dikanovic@marquette.edu

The air hung a little heavier this week in Joan of Arc Chapel, usually known around campus for its high energy and sense of joy, as students shared one of the final Masses with the Rev. Daniel Hendrickson.

After the choir wrapped up their harmonies of the closing song, the Rev. Kent Beausoleil held up a large, framed signed photo to the Joan of Arc congregation. It was a going away present to serve as a reminder to everyone that Hendrickson is finishing up his final days at Marquette alongside the graduating seniors.

Hendrickson has been presiding over the Tuesday 10 p.m. Mass at Joan of Arc since he joined the university faculty in 2012, following in the footsteps of the late campusicon Rev. John Naus. Next week will be Hendrickson’s

last service as he prepares to move to Omaha, Nebraska for his new role as president of Creighton University.

Tuesday night Mass is a special campus tradition. Students pack the tiny, French chapel full nearly every week, often sitting on the floor, for a unique Marquette experience.

“The St. Joan of Arc chapel exudes an instant sense of intimacy,” Hendrickson said.

“Sparsely filled or jam-packed, it feels homey and holy.”

The creation of this family-like atmosphere is very intentional.

“We have worked hard to maintain a spirit of hospitality and a sense of energy at the Mass, and (the Rev. Nicholas) Santos has been a terrific partner in the process,” Hendrickson said.

“We pull each others’ legs and go along with the flow, and I think that’s important,” Santos said.

Hendrickson’s successor has not been chosen. The decision for who will preside the service as well as who will replace Hendrickson is in the hands of Campus Ministry and will be revealed in the fall.

Hendrickson expressed that one of his favorite aspects of celebrating Tuesday night Mass is the connection that forms among the students who attend regularly, as well as the ones who pop in on occasion.

Sara Bres, a senior in the College of Business Administration, agrees with him.

“I constantly can feel the Holy Spirit as I hold hands with other students and pray, hug familiar faces and bond with new ones during communal prayer,” Bres said. “You can’t help but

feel part of something bigger.”

Other students said it is hard to imagine Tuesday night Mass without Hendrickson and his impactful sermons.

“He has a unique gift for sensing the mood of his audience and shapes his sermons around that,” said Lauren Rimmel, a sophomore in the College of Health Sciences. “More importantly, he keeps us grounded, helping us balance our daily lives and stresses with the happenings on the world stage. He is funny, kind, and soothing and

will be missed.”

Hendrickson said the sadness will be mutual. Among his daily espressos from the Brew, his colleagues, and the students he has worked with, he said he will miss Tuesday nights the most.

“For a long time to come, I will be sentimental on Tuesdays at 10,” Hendrickson said.

“I want to thank the Tuesday night community for letting me join them, and lead them. We have prayed together, and that is not insignificant.”

Assaults: MU sees only a few sexual offense prosecutions each year

is then up to the office to determine if there’s enough evidence for a case.

The report may contain video surveillance, interviews with witnesses and video or audio of the victim’s statements. But this material is hard to come by, as it’s typical for sexual assault cases to have no witnesses other than the victim and the perpetrator.

Liegel said the fundamental problem with sexual assault cases is that there are often just two statements, one from the victim and the other from the accused.

“Sometimes we have things like text messages or an injury, those kind of things help to break the tie,” Liegel said.

The Sexual Assault Treatment

Center at Aurora Health Care is often where the District Attorney’s office gathers more evidence.

“We focus on the patient piece; not every patient is willing to have evidence collected,” said Adam Beeson, a spokesman for the Sexual Assault Treatment Center. “Our first priority is to make sure they are OK and run tests, like pregnancy tests.

Our goal is that everyone gets a medical exam.”

But the treatment center faces its own set of challenges. Collecting physical evidence from a female victim can be difficult because most sexual assaults do not result in vaginal injuries for postpuberty women.

“In a jury trial you always need an extra piece of evidence — sometimes motivation can be a tiebreaker,” Liegel said. “We are always looking for that extra piece of evidence to use in trial, like a black eye, or choke marks, but they can be rare and that makes things difficult.”

PROBLEMS WITH CASES INVOLVING STUDENTS There’s an added difficulty in cases involving college students because, as Liegel said, suspects appear to be “clean cut, young people.”

“The suspect can present themselves in such a way where they don’t look like a scumbag, they don’t look the part of a rapist and can go in front of a jury and say they have a clean record and good GPA,” he said. “Most of the time the victim and the subject know each other and have a casual relationship. It’s rare that it’s a stranger; it’s someone with mutual friends.”

The U.S. Department of Justice

reports that 73 percent of people committing sexual assaults know the victim, and 38 percent of rapists are friends or acquaintances.

One of the biggest hurdles to prosecution, however, is the lack of reporting.

There are persistent time lags in getting incidents to police, and in cases when alcohol was involved, victims may fear getting in trouble in the prosecution process.

“They have to admit to underage drinking or marijuana use and will receive a citation,” Liegel said. “If the victim leaves that detail out of their statement, it can be used to attack their credibility and that presents a lot of hurdles in trial.”

A study from the Journal of Trauma and Dissociation found that 16 percent of college students were victims of unwanted sexual Photo by Rebecca Rebholz/rebecca.rebholz@marquette.edu contact, but only 2 percent told a Marya Leatherwood, Marquette’s Title IX coordinator, said the university sexual assault center or police.

The university may take interim steps, such as issuing stay away orders or moving people from classes or residence halls, for the sake of safety.

When a student chooses to take action, DPS has another set of procedures.

The victim will receive assistance along the way from an advocate and a DPS victim witness representative who is knowledgeable of the process. These people can accompany a victim to court proceedings and drive them to the courthouse or police department for interviews throughout the investigation.

It’s then up to the district attorney to review that information and decide if there’s enough information to move forward with charges.

“It’s separate from the process within the university, but in a lot of ways they’re complementary and we work together with the Milwaukee Police Department and the assistant district attorney that’s assigned to the case,” Mascari said.

In a jury trial you always need an extra piece of evidence — sometimes motivation can be a tiebreaker.”

Filmmaker Brendan Takash said he wanted to highlight the stereotypical college experience using dark comedy and horror techniques.

Production highlights dangers of ‘typical’ college experience

By Eva Schons Rodrigues

eva.schonsrodrigues@marquette.edu

Earlier this year, a group of students set in motion the production of an original film for the Marquette Film Club. The mid-length movie is called “Blackout Ball,” a reflection of its dark comedy and horror genre.

The film’s plot revolves around two recently expelled college students, Jake and Morris. After their expulsion, the friends rent out an abandoned fraternity house to throw one last party. After an evil spirit makes its presence known, the party becomes a matter of life and death through mass alcohol consumption.

“Blackout Ball” is directed by Brendan Takash, a graduate student in the College of Business Administration. Last year, Takash produced “Carrier Crow,” a short film that has received several positive reviews and been accepted into five film festivals.

Noelle Searles, a senior in the College of Communication and the film’s producer, talks about the success of “Carrier Crow” as a motivator for this new project. “I think everyone believes in Brendan,” Searles said. “Everyone in the cast and crew are very involved and devoted.”

According to George Bicknell, a junior in the College of Communication as well as the film’s cinematographer and script supervisor, one of the most attractive aspects of this project is its script. “[The script] blends dark comedy with intense and pow-

erful moments seamlessly,” Bicknell said. “Our two leads share a dynamic relationship, and their dialogue alone should be enough to interest the average viewer.”

Searles also commends the script and says it fosters the involvement of the crew as a whole.

“Brendan has made a lot of his script-writing process open to all of us, so it’s been a lot of group effort to make something this summer we can all be proud of.”

Takash, the film’s director, describes the writing experience as one of the most challenging parts of the production as a whole.

“The entire process has taken about four months,” Takash said.

“I learned a really important lesson here. You can’t do everything on your own in filmmaking.”

At this point, the production has nine crew and around eight cast members. According to Anna Hull, the film’s assistant producer and a senior in the College of Communication, they are still in the process of finalizing cast crew.

“Currently, we are in the midst of pre-production. This means we are also finalizing the script, filming teasers to build hype and generating a social media presence,” Hull said.

As far as a premiere date, the director hopes for fall semester.

“We are shooting this summer, and we hope to have it ready for October 2015,” Takash said. “My last short film, ‘Carrier Crow,’ premiered at Johnston Hall last October, and I would be honored to replicate this later on.”

Anna Hull predicts a successful outcome for this film, because of its rather unique nature. “This project is special because it feels as if this is a short film never before undertaken

by a group of students from the College of Communications,” Hull said. “It is going to be longer in length than most projects featured in classes offered in the Digital Media major, and it is a dark comedy and horror with subject matter rarely ever undertaken before.”

Takash clarifies on what to expect from “Blackout Ball” and suggests it is indeed a rather unique project due to its twist on the typical college party scene.

“Imagine a film like ‘Project X’ taking a much darker tone,” Takash said.

Searles said the film does more than entertain; it brings attention to a more significant issue. “It is like a [statement] on college drinking in a longer version,” Searles said.

Takash expands on Searles argument by suggesting one of the movie’s underlying goals is indeed to bring attention to the issue of alcoholism. “Binge drinking has become an all-too-prevalent epidemic on most college campuses, including our own,” Takash said.

“Pretty soon, weekend drinking turns into every-day drinking, and a downward spiral into a rather terrible place.”

The director suggests this issue is not only prevalent currently, but often underestimated. “The consequences may seem so far away when you’re in college, but I’ve seen it come on strong for many people,” Takash said. “Alcohol can exacerbate your worst qualities, and I wanted to make a horror film that brought this dark place into the stereotypical college party.”

“Blackout Ball” seems to have the potential to make a powerful statement, especially with the growing focus on alcohol education in our campus. The director

suggests a movie is a great way of doing so. “I think filmmaking can be a useful tool for making philosophical musings entertaining and beautiful,” Takash said.

The production is exciting not only for the students involved,

but also an inspiring project for the entire Marquette community.

“This project is special because we are actually making a movie.

We do not have any funding yet, and none of us are working professionals,” Takash said. “We are a group of self-starters who want to share our passions with the world. There might not be a filmmaking major at Marquette, and we may be miles away from Hollywood, but that should not stop anyone from pursuing something they care about.”

The director further encourages the student body to look forward to the movie. “People should be excited for it because of all the energy this film will have. The horror is mixed with some great humor, and the light moments are usually followed by some heavy subject matter,” Takash said. “We think it is a concept that has great potential.”

The project has a Facebook page named “Blackout Ball,” where a first teaser has already been released, and regular updates provide further information. In the future, the group wishes to host an actual Blackout Ball Party and will eventually release an ‘indiegogo’ page for basic funding.

Summer TV lineup provides pleasant surprises Networks, Netflix have mix of old favorites, new releases

By Lily Stanicek

lily.stanicek@marquette.edu

School is almost over, and summer is just around the corner. What’s a better way to spend the bright, hot summer days than in the air-conditioned haven of your living room, binge watching the brand new summer television lineup? To get you started, here’s a short & sweet list of both new and old shows premiering this summer.

Penny Dreadful, Season 2 May 3, Showtime

The dark and daring show that premiered last year on Showtime is returning with a deeper look into the gothic, monster-ridden world it set up nicely in season 1. The story will continue with Vanessa Ives’ (Eva Green) going head to head with the leader of a Lucifer-loving cult (Helen McCrory), Ethan Chandler (Josh Hartnett) grappling with his furry, flesh-eating alter-ego, and Doctor Frankenstein (Harry Treadaway) and his Creature (Rory Kinnear) dealing with their newly created “bride” (Billie Piper). This season will hopefully have just as many twist, turns and shockingly disturbing moments as the first.

Grace and Frankie, Season 1 May 8, Netflix

Netflix has been on a roll recently, and the next new show coming up on the docket is a comedy featuring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin as Grace and Frankie, two women who have just found out their husbands are leaving them...for each other.

Their husbands, longtime business partners, suddenly confess their love for each other, and the two women have to deal with all the things that come after that confession. The show may struggle balancing the deeper and darker moments of the women’s anger and betrayal with the comedy, but with such a strong cast and a plot full of off-thewall possibilities, this show is definitely one to look out for.

Orange is the New Black, Season 3 June 12, Netflix

Possibly one of the most anticipated shows on this list, it’s almost a formality at this point to suggest you check this one out.

If you’ve been off on a different planet for the past two years and don’t know, OitNB is about a diverse group of women who all happen to be incarcerated in a federal penitentiary. Already renewed for a fourth season, the third season will feature all the old favorites, with Lea DeLauria (Big Boo) and Laura Prepon (Alex Vause) being upped to series regulars, as well as some new characters.

True Detective, Season 2 June 21, HBO

Coming off it’s much hyped first season, True Detective returns for a second, with another stand-alone, season. This time set in Southern California, this season features another

heavy-hitting cast of Rachel McAdams, Taylor Kitsch, Vince Vaughn and Colin Farrell. The plot centers around a unsettling murder which leads into a conspiracy that begins to ensnare a Highway Patrol officer (Kitsch), a mobster (Vaughn), a mobaffiliated detective (Farrell) and a County Sheriff detective (McAdams). If it’s anything like the first season, it should prove to be an entertaining, if not deeply compelling, season of television.

Rookie Blue, Season 6 June 25, ABC

If you’re sick of watching old NCIS reruns this summer but still need a cop procedural fix, Rookie Blue’s new season is your best bet. Focusing on a group of new recruits as they move up the different ranks of the police department, Rookie Blue has featured a solid cast and compelling, emotional and drama filled storylines throughout it’s last five seasons.

Although I am a little worried about how it will handle a particularly out-of-the-blue (no pun intended) pregnancy plotline, I expect season six will

continue the consistently entertaining storytelling trend the show has had in the past.

Masters of Sex, Season 3 July 12, Showtime

Following an excellent first season and a hit-and-miss, but overall entertaining, second run, the third edition of the show depicting the life of William Masters (Michael Sheen) and Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan), the sex researchers who began the conversation about human sexuality as we know it today, will feature another time jump to 1966. The six year time jump will show Masters and Johnson as they are making their more public moves with their research. An interesting development I’m excited about is that the show recast Virginia’s kids as teenagers and will be exploring, particularly in Tessa’s case, the presence of sexuality in them as well.

Wet Hot American Summer

July 17, Netflix

Acting as a prequel to the

original 2001 movie, the eight episode season will focus entirely on the characters first day of camp in the summer of 1981. David Wain and Michael Showalter returned as writers and producers, as did virtually the entire original cast

(despite the fact that many are twice the age of a normal high schooler) including Elizabeth Banks, Bradley Cooper, Molly Shannon, Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd.

Illustration by Eleni Eisenhart/eleni.eisenhart@marquette.edu

An unfortunate facet of the university environment is the prevalence of sexual assault and rape. As this affects students across the country, in public and private institutions with or without religious affiliation, Marquette is not immune to the problems such incidents present.

Marquette does a comparably good job handling the reality of assault on campus, promoting awareness and the ongoing conversation about how best to prevent assault and support those victimized. Paying mind to the positives, there is still room for the university to expand its transparency on the subject.

Rather than offering a snapshot on sexual assault, Marquette should offer a bigger picture to fight against public stigma. To truly deconstruct the climate conducive to high numbers of reported assaults and even more unreported assaults on campus, there needs to be a full understanding of what is going on.

While Marquette may be lauded for its active reporting when compared to other schools, it seems to only be following the rules rather than going beyond to promote greater change. The university may be following the Clery Act’s mandates, but this may not be the best way of accurately representing campus and tackling the problem.

As noted in the first part of the Marquette Wire’s series on the reporting of sexual assault at Marquette, only 30 of 53 sexual assault reports over a threeyear period were reported to the U.S. Department of Education in line with the Clery Act. All 53 were part of daily Department of Public Safety reports, yet some were left out because they were outside of the “patrol jurisdiction.”

These omissions may not seem like a major error to the federal government, yet it gives the impression Marquette is not being as forthcoming and

proactive as it could be. Affiliates of the university could see this as an attempt to cover up what is really going on and as a result, hinder the university’s forward momentum.

DPS has since expanded the patrol limits to a one-mile radius of campus for reasons of keeping students and others safe. This type of expansion should also apply to how information is released to the general public. The real numbers that DPS reports should be public and not just distributed by student journalists.

Greater transparency and disclosure of information would be best for the overall public as well as those who experience sexual assault firsthand.

Much of the social stigma surrounding assault is based on acceptance of rape myths, which describe assault as necessarily violent, only happening between strangers and taking place in a dark alley. It is better for people to know more about the true reality to consider what is happening and how it can be dealt with. The public cannot accurately gauge improvements or setbacks if it is not given the full information and context. The university can take better strides to be more informative.

Social stigma also affects victims of sexual assault who may be scared of or against coming forward because they think theirs is an isolated incident or that nothing would come of telling the administration about their experiences.

The university must address these concerns by offering acknowledgement and reassurance that what happened was real for them and is being seriously considered in the form of better publicizing the reality.

Marquette has made a commitment to facing the problem of sexual assault head on and must continue to follow through in every way possible. The university is taking great strides, but there are still many ways to pursue improvements for a more open and welcoming campus.

I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked why I decided to enter a career in journalism.

It’s a question people often ask with a skeptical sort of tone — and I always picture Bubba’s mother in “Forrest Gump” staring down from her porch with her arms crossed.

“Are you crazy, or just plain stupid?”

No, ma’am, I’m not stupid. I’m passionately inspired and excited to graduate into an industry that’s on the verge of a renaissance.

Go ahead, laugh at me.

Sure, the news business has been in free fall for a couple of decades now, and I’ve worked with enough professionals to feel the downright bitterness that developed with annual staff downsizing. The newsrooms of some of the best papers in the country — like my personal favorite, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel — are eerily sparse with reporters.

But there are two things that are changing in news companies’ favor: demographics and technology.

No, I’m not talking about social media.

Our youngest age cohort is growing up surrounded by interactive technology. Kids are learning to use touchscreens before they know basic vocabulary and, at the same time, the population accustomed to flipping through a newspaper is shrinking.

Within 20 years, our news media will have a dramatic shift in audience. We will have demographic pool hungry for immersive content that is quickly accessible.

That should be plenty of time to phase out our print editions and invest in the technology to make advertising interactive. Imagine digital coupon material exclusive to news media subscribers. Imagine the potential for more audience-targeted event promotions.

Let’s cut out those clumsy newspaper clippings and develop a more costefficient, and dare I say, lucrative media landscape. Let’s talk about growth.

I believe my fellow journalism graduates and I are leaving school at just the right time.

In a few years, as the industry will pivot for the right business model, we’ll be the upand-coming veteran reporters to replace the

inevitable wave of newspaper retirees.

We’ll be the energetic group of reporters who haven’t been beat down by rounds of layoffs, and we’ll be the ones with a vision.

I want to lend a hand of encouragement to my fellow journalism graduates. The economy’s looking pretty good for us, and the bigger papers around the world are just now starting to show some success making money online.

If you feel like Marquette hasn’t given you the web development or data analysis skills you need, I’ll let you in on a little secret. These are easy things to get the hang of, and there tons of free programs online to help you out.

Have a question? Just Google it. Is a code not working? Experiment until you get it right. We’re in the age of the self-taught reporter, so just go for it.

But don’t forget to write. An editor at The New York Times recently told me web development skills are becoming so commonplace that what’s setting applicants apart is their ability to tell stories. Data is just the bones of a story, and it’s up to us to add the flesh and human face.

I’m leaving Marquette with a load of fantastic experience and a long list of memorable mentors. Working for student media was where I started, so I need to take a moment and thank some people who made me the perhaps far-too-confident reporter that I am.

Matthew Reddin, thanks for giving me my first job. And then also my second job.

To all of my previous editors — Tori Dykes, Zach Hubbard, Sarah Elms, Andrew Phillips, Maria Tsikalas, Allison Kruschke, Pat Simonaitis, Tessa Fox and Sarah Hauer — I’m honored to call you my peers.

And to our fearless leaders, Joe Kaiser and Becca Rebholz, you’ve been with me on this team since the first semester. I think you’ve done a hell of a job this year. You’ve been great mentors and fantastic friends, and I wish you the best of luck.

There are so many others who I should mention, but the list would be too long, so I’ll leave with one thought.

Long live the Trib.

Opportunities arise when Finding what works for pursuing the unplanned you can help ease anxiety Elena Fransen

Columnist As a chronic planner, calendars are survival tools and anticipating what’s ahead keeps me feeling in control of the present and the future.

In the past, whenever a new semester’s class schedule was made available, I would jump at the chance to organize my classes just right so I would know what to anticipate.

Of course, I always had the habit of impulsively changing classes up until the last minute so all the early planning would be for nothing. I did not always stick to the original plan but often discovered some great things along the way.

My plans always sort of changed and generally for the better. Sure, expectations were dashed and there were disappointments, but some of the greatest parts of my college experience were not part of the original plan.

Coming to school, I thought I knew what I was going to do and where my four years would take me. I was going to be a communication studies major, study abroad for a semester and get some great internship experience. Thinking back on it, I was hopelessly idealistic and had no idea how unpredictable college would be.

None of those things really panned out.

I switched out of the College of Communications before I could learn to pronounce Chioma Ugochuckwu and found myself passionate about and pursuing three different areas of study. These studies made taking a semester abroad tricky, but I was still able to go abroad during a summer. Came internships and fellowships, fulfilling at least one of the plans I had set out.

One thing I did not plan for that has had the greatest impact on me has been this: editing and writing for The Marquette Tribune.

While I had romanticized working for a college newspaper after watching Rory’s college years on “Gilmore Girls,” I never thought I

would do it. Junior year, I applied on a whim to be a copy editor and it all just clicked. I kick myself for not joining sooner, but then I think about all that has happened to me and I know two years was enough.

At times the Tribune has been the bane of my existence, creating stress and more work when I would rather be sleeping or anywhere other than Johnston Hall. Weekly budgets, columns and editing dig into time that could be spent focusing on other plans or just relaxing in the last part of college.

The good experiences, however, far outweigh the bad ones. Some great, unplanned little miracles have come from my time spent with the Tribune. I met great people, honed some impressive time management skills and learned how to think on my feet when the rug was pulled out from underneath me, often repeatedly. Having the Tribune kept me from isolating myself during some hard times and I am grateful.

I didn’t plan for it, but it was something that greatly affected me in a positive way and I will definitely miss the opportunities it gave me to express and improve myself on a regular basis. The chance I took junior year paid off more than any of the plans I had freshman year.

So that’s my advice. Take a chance. Explore something you could never have planned and find out the possibilities. You don’t have to throw out your original plan but maybe you can tweak it a little.

For me, there are no more semesters to plan for, no more budgets to write and only a few more weeks of having a set schedule. The planner in me finds this incredibly scary, but it is also exciting to imagine what possibilities are out there that I have not even thought of yet.

Who knows what will be next, but if there’s another experience like the Trib out there for me, I’m game.

Joe Kaiser

Executive Director

The last time Marquette student media was not the highest priority for me, I was 18 years old and working in ice cream.

And I was terrible at it. I was so nervous out of the fear of failing to do right by the customer that I was a spaz of an employee.

My hands shook as I scooped chocolate chips to place on the ice cream, making them fall everywhere. I stuttered and routinely undercharged customers out of fear of overcharging them because I couldn’t total things up on the cash register fast enough.

Every day I worked at Cold Stone Creamery was a perpetual five-hour panic attack, and I was a mess. To everyone who had a thin milkshake or a sad-looking sundae in the summer of 2011, I apologize.

Those feelings did not change by the time I became executive director of the Marquette Wire, but my ability to deal with them did. I deal with anxiety. I did in 2011.

I still do now, and that’s OK. It was OK my freshman year, just starting out in student media, when I threw up on two separate occasions from overwhelming panic attacks. It was OK at the start of this year when I labored through student media orientation week, struggling to figure how to make the first full year of the Marquette Wire work, and be the first person in my position to make it work.

I didn’t always know it was OK, but it is.

And since I know now that I’m nowhere close to alone, everyone struggling with their nerves should know it is OK, too.

According to a 2006 American College Health Association Survey, a whopping 75 percent of all individuals with an anxiety disorder will experience symptoms before age 22, increasing the likelihood it will start in college. Another 45 percent of

female students and 36 percent of male students reported feeling so depressed it was difficult to function. And a 2011 survey by the National Alliance on Mental Illness found that 62 percent of students with a mental health problem who withdrew from college did so for that reason.

To Marquette’s credit, the university does a lot to address mental illness. The counseling center is a great, comforting resource that any student in need should give a chance.

Marquette’s attention to Mental Health Awareness Week is to be commended fully, and shows students that stigmas surrounding mental health can easily be forgotten.

But there also, I think, needs to be a point where you figure some of it out yourself. I use my left-brain – the analytical side – as a journalist, but the right brain – the creative side - is just as important. I started doing stand-up comedy when I was 19 against all my anxiety-induced impulses, started Marquette Wire’s satire blog, the Turnip, when I was 20, and fake presidential write-in candidate Pete Green after that.

I’ve been booked for paid comedy gigs, and can say that’s where I’m most comfortable.

And everyone needs a place like that, to knowingly be most comfortable.

Not every student is going to beat their anxiety by becoming a comedian, but the point is there is a way, and college is a perfect time to find it and realize everything is OK. Even now, it’s frequently a struggle to calm down, and I look back at college and know how anxiety caused some turbulence and made a lot of things harder. But, as I write my last words in the Marquette Tribune after four long years of doing so, I know it’s OK. It’s more than OK. And I think I may celebrate finishing my time here with a big bowl of ice cream. If I spill the chocolate chips, that’s OK, too.

Top 10 sports stories of ‘14-‘15

By Wire Sports Staff

The Wire Sports staff decided to take a look back at the most important stories of the 2014-15 academic year. These 10 stories have impacted Marquette both in the short and long term and have defined the first year of Athletic Director Bill Scholl, as well as the department as a whole.

10.

Tyler Melnyk 1st Men’s Lacrosse player drafted Melnyk, who graduated as the leading scorer in the lacrosse program’s young history, became the first Marquette graduate to be drafted professionally when the Edmonton Rush took him 19th overall in the NLL draft. Also drafted was Andrew Smistad, who missed a majority of his Marquette career due to injury. He was cut before the season by the Calgary Roughnecks.

Melnyk has made an impact on the Rush, who sit atop the West Division with a 12-5 record. After spending the beginning of the season on the team’s practice roster, he scored four goals and an assist in his debut against the Vancouver Stealth.

He has six goals and five assists in his four games this season.

9.

Women’s basketball loses 10 straight games The Marquette women’s basketball team nearly tied a 29-year-old record for consecutive losses, but thankfully came just short of history.

The Golden Eagles lost 10 consecutive games in the 201415 campaign, just shy of the 11 game losing streak the 1986 team set. During the course of the drought, Marquette lost by an average of 16 points and was outscored 716-572. The stretch lasted from Dec. 21, when the Golden Eagles defeated Western Illinois 65-57, to Feb. 1, when the team finally managed to beat Georgetown 80-73. It was only the third time in program history a team lost every game in a full month of play.

The Golden Eagles finished the season 9-22 and 4-14 in Big East play. To add insult to injury, Marquette lost three freshmen to transfer, two of them being All-Big East

Playing in a new arena would be a great recruiting tool for the Golden Eagles to use. Not many programs get to say they play in an NBA arena, and very few can say they play in a state of the art basketball center. If the surrounding entertainment venues are there, Marquette basketball games could be a major draw for the city of Milwaukee and a premier game for visiting fans to come to. The new arena could lead to a lot of extra revenue for Marquette.

But even a new arena doesn’t come without some problems. A new arena could cost Marquette more money to play in, which could force the athletic department to increase season ticket prices, something fans would not appreciate. It’s a small problem, but one Marquette would have to adjust to.

7.

Men’s basketball records lowest win percentage since 1990 Marquette finished 13-19 this season, the first time the program finished under .500 since the 1998-99 season coached by Mike Deane. Marquette was a terrible basketball team at times and looked lost offensively on multiple occasions.

The Golden Eagles were led in scoring by graduate senior Matt Carlino, who averaged 15 points per game. Redshirt freshman Duane Wilson was second on the team with 11.9 points per game.

Marquette lost 12 out of 13 games during the middle of conference play, but finished the season on a strong note by winning two of its last three contests. The Golden Eagles will need to carry that momentum into what could be a promising 2015-16 campaign.

6.

Axel Sjoberg and Charlie Lyon drafted into MLS Two Marquette players were

taken in this year’s MLS SuperDraft, marking the third time in four years a Golden Eagle has been selected. Defenseman Axel Sjoberg became the highest drafted Golden Eagle in program history when the Colorado Rapids selected him 14th overall. Goalkeeper Charlie Lyon, who set the program record for consecutive shutout minutes and total shutouts in his senior season, was taken in the fourth round by the Seattle Sounders.

Sjoberg has played in three games for the Rapids, starting each appearance. He made his MLS debut in Colorado’s first game of the season, playing all 90 minutes of the 0-0 tie with Philadelphia.

Lyon joined Seattle’s first team roster in March, but has yet to make an appearance.

The two players were proceeded by Callum Mallace, who was taken in the second round of the 2012 draft by the Montreal Impact, and Bryan Ciesuilka, who was taken in the fourth round of the 2013 draft by the Chicago Fire.

5.

Wally Ellenson breaks records in track Even though Marquette basketball fans await Henry Ellenson’s arrival with bated breath, it was his older brother Wally who stole the show this year.

Wally transferred to Marquette from Minnesota this past July after spending two years playing basketball and participating in track and field for the Golden Gophers. NCAA rules required him to sit out this basketball season, but the same restrictions did not apply to track, and Wally took advantage.

Ellenson, a prospective Olympian high jumper, exploded on to the scene this past January at the Wisconsin Open in Madison, Wis. by clearing a bar set at 2.28 meters in just his second jump as a Marquette athlete. The mark is currently the third-best in the world. The Rice Lake, Wis. native ended up finishing third in the high jump event at the NCAA Indoor Nationals in Fayetteville, Ark. Up next for Ellenson is the Outdoor Nationals in June and beyond that, Olympic qualifying events for the 2016 games in Rio.

4.

Men’s Lacrosse opens season 7-0 The Marquette men’s lacrosse team made very good strides last season, finishing second in the Big East standings at the end of the regular season in only its second year of competition. Yet, no one expected the Golden Eagles unprecedented rise this season.

Marquette turned heads with one goal victories to start the season against then-ranked No. 18/16 Lehigh and No. 17/19 Hofstra. It was just the start of a seven game winning streak, leading the Golden Eagles to be ranked as high as ninth in the country. Marquette snapped its single season wins record before it lost a game.

The winning streak led to na-

tional attention and incredibly high praises for both coach Joe Amplo and his team. Marquette and second half comebacks become synonymous, as the gutsy Golden Eagles came back from four goal deficits against Hofstra, Richmond and Ohio State.

Georgetown, the team that ended Marquette’s winning streak, will be the foe this weekend when the Golden Eagles vie for their first Big East tournament victory.

3.

Marquette lands Top 10 recruiting class The discussion around Marquette men’s basketball during the 2014-15 season was rarely about the current team. Rather, it was about the exciting group of talent coming in. Steve Wojciechowski put together a consensus top-10 recruiting class in his first season. The class is led by Rice Lake power forward Henry Ellenson, but fellow top-100 player Haanif Cheatham is no slouch either.

The class is rounded out by center Matt Heldt, shooting guard Sacar Anim and point guard Traci Carter. Anim and Carter were added following

The next to transfer were Bell, Elbert and Grim, who all left the women’s basketball program. Bell led the Golden Eagles in scoring this past season and was going to be the team’s next leader. However, she, Elbert and Grim will be playing for other teams next year.

Finally, Taylor announced he was transferring in March after the men’s team subpar season. He was the lone senior on the team and his departure leaves the Golden Eagles even younger.

Nine transfers from three prominent programs can be worrisome. However, each program had first year head coaches who did not recruit these players. Some turnover is expected when a new coach takes the helm. It will be interesting to watch moving forward to see how many transfers there will be next year.

pose facility on the Michigan Ave. land the school purchased earlier this year. At the center of the facility is an indoor athletic facility, which will house the lacrosse teams, soccer teams and track and field.

The new facility will serve as the home field for the lacrosse teams, allowing them to escape the cold temperatures that are common at the start of the teams’ season. The facility will also move all home games oncampus. The men’s team plays all its home games, which was only three this season, at Hart Park in Wauwatosa. The women’s team splits games between Hart Park and Valley Fields.

As evident by the lack of home dates for men’s lacrosse, it’s difficult for the team to lure many opponents to Wisconsin.

The school hopes playing inside in a school specific facility will help eliminate that issue. The facility will allow all the teams to practice on campus throughout the winter on a regulation field and track, which could help the growing programs take a jump to the next level.

Incoming freshman Henry Ellenson highlights Marquette’s top-10 recruiting class for next season.

The brothers played together in high school at Rice Lake

By Jacob Born

jacob.born@marquette.edu

Ever since he signed his National Letter of Intent, Marquette fans have been counting down the days until Henry Ellenson hits campus.

Ranked No. 5 overall by ESPN, No. 7 by Scout and No. 10 by 247sports, Ellenson highlights a top-10 recruiting class by coach Steve Wojciechowski. He brings tremendous upside to the program, which aims to have a bounce back year. But there’s one player who’s more excited than most to play with Ellenson: his brother, Wally.

The two played together before, notably when Henry was a freshman at Rice Lake High School and Wally a senior. The two played varsity together and enjoyed the time. But then Henry stayed at Rice Lake while Wally went to Minnesota.

Wally and Henry always dreamed they would be able to play together somewhere, and the idea of playing together at Marquette was too good to pass up.

“It was a thought always in the back of our heads,” Wally said.

“We both knew we were going to play at the Division I level.

It’s a dream come true to have the opportunity to play with each other... The ability to do that in college is something that’s hard to pass up.”

Wally transferred to Marquette last summer, but said his recruiting had nothing to do with Henry’s. He said his relationship with Wojciechowski was different than Henry’s, which helped separate the two.

“I walked to (Wojciechowski) and it was right after I decided to leave Minnesota,” Wally said.

“We developed a good relationship. At the same time, while he

was building a relationship with me, he was building a relationship with my brother.”

Now, the two are a part of the same program. Wally said his brother brings a lot to the table for Marquette, but the biggest thing Henry has to offer is his work ethic.

“There’s a lot of tall people, there’s a lot of big men. But none that I’ve seen work out harder than Henry does,” Wally said.

“I’m just so excited for him to come down to campus in the summer and get in the gym.”

Henry enters Marquette positioned as the team’s starting power forward. He has a great jump shot and can hit a shot from any place on the court, whether low in the paint, out on the key or even behind the arc. He has a massive wingspan, which will help him bring down rebounds and play stout defense.

Of course, like every freshman entering collegiate ball, Henry needs to bulk up slightly and

build a bigger frame. He could be better off the dribble, but that shouldn’t be much of a problem because of Henry’s athleticism.

Overall, Henry lives up to the hype of being one of the top recruits in the nation.

Being the headline recruit in a headlining recruiting class brings about a lot of pressure – something Wally thinks his brother will no doubt live up to.

“He loves that kind of pressure,” Wally said. “It’s just something he drives off of. He never really looks at the pressure, he just goes out there (and) plays hard.”

Henry heads to Marquette, lauded by fans as a potential program-changing player. While it remains to be seen if he will live up to the comparison, Wally said he knows Henry will be a favorite for the Golden Eagle faithful.

“He’s going to make an immediate impact,” Wally said. “He’s an unbelievable player... It’s fun that we get to do this together.”

Growing up, my favorite athlete was Wayne Gretzky. Hockey was my favorite sport and he was dominant. “The Great One” was traded to the St. Louis Blues, my favorite team, in 1995 and I got to see him in person, which was unbelievable. At the end of the year, when the Detroit Red Wings eliminated the Blues in double overtime in Game 7 (I will forever hate Steve Yzerman for his snipe from the blueline), he packed his bags and headed for New York, where he played until 1999.

When Gretzky retired, he opened his press conference with the following quote: “As professional as hockey is and professional sports is, we have highs and we have lows and in life it seems to be the general feeling that, unfortunately, sometimes you go to funerals and, fortunately, sometimes you get to go weddings and fun parties. And to me, this is a party. This is a celebration and (I) hope that everyone understands that I look upon these next few days as something to really enjoy.”

That’s exactly how I feel as I write my final column for the Marquette Wire. Student media has had highs and lows throughout my years, but in my final weeks, it’s been an absolute blast.

I came to The Marquette Tribune my sophomore year as a general reporter, covering whatever the news desk needed. I switched to sports in the spring semester and covered women’s basketball, which made the WNIT, and men’s tennis. My junior year I was named assistant sports editor and covered club hockey. And my senior year, I was named Executive Sports Director of the Marquette Wire and covered women’s soccer and men’s basketball.

Marquette student media made me the journalist I am today. But that’s only a small part of why the Marquette Wire is a major

part of my Marquette experience.

What I’m going to remember for the rest of my life are the experiences, not the stories I wrote.

I’ll remember going to Madison Square Garden, where Gretzky finished his career, to watch the men’s basketball team play its best and worst games of the season. I’ll remember going to Sobelman’s every year and getting our end of the year awards (this year’s haven’t been handed out, but the last two poke fun at my affinity for screamo music and teenage angst.) And I’ll remember the countless hours in the student media offices; laughing and having a blast with the people I’ve had the privilege of calling co-workers for the past three years.

So I want my final column to be just like Gretzky’s last press conference: a party. I hope those reading this have enjoyed reading my stories during the past one, two or three years. I hope my co-workers have at least one story of when I made them laugh or just had a good time. And I hope I won’t ever forget the fantastic stories I’ve gotten from the past three years.

One of my favorite quotes is from “All I Want” by my favorite band, A Day to Remember.

It goes, “All I want is a place to call my home and win the hearts of everyone who feels alone. So keep your hopes up high and your head down low.”

I’m honored to have called the Marquette Wire my home for the past three years. And I hope I’ve made others feel home as well.

So as I and the rest of the seniors head into the “real” world, remember to keep your hopes up high and head down low, knowing we can do whatever we put our minds to.

So thank you, to everyone I’ve encountered as a journalist in my past three years. There are too many names to name, so I’m not going to try. But thank you to every single one of you. It’s been an unbelievable ride.

I will, forever and always, call myself a Golden Eagle.

Golf wins first Big East title since ‘08

The Marquette men’s golf team won Marquette’s first Big East Championship of the season and the team’s first conference title since the 2008 season.

The team erased an 8-stroke lead to overtake Depaul

Marquette men’s golf is back on top of the Big East Conference.

The Golden Eagles battled back from an eight-stroke deficit on the final day to win the Big East Championship, Marquette’s first

conference title since 2008. Junior Patrick Sanchez shot his best round of the weekend at 3-under par and led the Golden Eagles to a comeback victory against DePaul.

Junior Nick Nelson could hardly contain his excitement “It feels pretty great to have our hard work pay off and finally be called champions,” Nelson said.

“Even though we were behind we knew we had a good chance as long as we kept it close. We were lucky to have the teams ahead of us slip a little and we were able to strike. We stayed patient and just

let it come to us.”

Sunday’s opening round kept Marquette within striking distance of day one leader, DePaul. The 16over par finish left the Golden Eagles five strokes behind the Blue Demons. Sanchez led the way with his opening round 1-over par while senior Brandon Cloete followed suit with a 2-over par. Both golfers were in the top 10 individually after the first round.

Monday’s second round was a chance for Cloete and Sanchez to continue their success.

and 1-over par. The team shot 9-over par, but was able to move into third place, eight strokes behind leader DePaul.

Tuesday’s final round pushed the Golden Eagles into first place with a team total 8-over par. Nelson, junior CJ Swift and freshman Trevor Thomas all shot their best rounds of the weekend. In addition to their best round, Sanchez completed his best under-par round at the perfect time, finishing the tournament at 1-under par and tying for the best three round score overall.

Sanchez said the key was staying calm throughout the final round. “(I was) playing one shot at a time and being able to handle my nerves under pressure,” Sanchez said. “I knew we had to play really well to have a chance, so it came at the right time.”

Cloete was amazed how close DePaul and Marquette played.

“Its hard to believe that nearly 900 total strokes later, it came down to just two shots,” Cloete said.

“But the amount of passion and belief in this team and the support and love from everyone around us, thats what got us through. For these guys to come back from eight strokes in nine holes, man that’s what champions are made of and this team proved they are true champions this weekend.”

Cloete was just happy to win it for coach Steve Bailey. It was Bailey’s first conference tournament victory, coaching in his fifth season with Marquette.

“After all the initial commotion of the final hole and Pat’s putt to win it, Coach Bailey got us all in huddle and just reinforced what we had just done,” Cloete said.

“He couldn’t have been more proud of us all in that moment and you could see the sheer joy in his face. This one meant a lot to us all but none more than Coach Bailey. He’s the reason we ended up where we did when it was all said and done and I could not have asked for anyone better. He’s deserved this more than anyone.”

The Golden Eagles qualified for the NCAA Regional Tournament following their Big East Tournament victory. The tournament locations and times will be announced later this week.

MLax aims for first postseason win Georgetown defeated the Golden Eagles in the first matchup

By Jack Goods

jack.goods@marquette.edu

This weekend the No. 19/19 Marquette Golden Eagles travel to the Big East tournament in Philadelphia looking to snag its first postseason win. In its way is No. 13/12 Georgetown, the team that ended Marquette’s seven-game win streak at the start of the season.

The Hoyas defeated Marquette 10-9 in the first matchup this season thanks to a very balanced performance from their entire offensive unit. Nine different Georgetown players scored, with senior attackman Bo Stafford being the only Hoya with multiple goals.

Junior midfielder Blaine Fleming tied the game at nine with six minutes to go, but unsportsmanlike penalties to coach Joe Amplo and graduate student attackman Jordan Greenfield gave Georgetown an excellent opportunity in the closing minutes. Freshman midfielder Craig Berge made Marquette pay, scoring the go-ahead goal at the 3:45 mark. Fleming had one final chance to force OT with 10 seconds remaining, but his shot rung off the post.

Georgetown’s only conference loss this season came against Denver, one of its two losses since the Marquette game. The other came two weeks ago, against No. 8/8 Virginia. Stafford leads the team in scoring with 50 points, followed closely behind by senior attackman Reilly O’Connor with 44. Stafford scored four goals last week, when the Hoyas snagged the second seed with a 13-10 win against St. John’s.

This is the second straight appearance in the Big East tournament for Marquette. The Golden Eagles fell to Villanova 9-6 to end their season last year.

The Golden Eagles will be coming into the game with a few more accolades than the last time they took the field.

er Liam Byrnes were all named Big East first-team All-Americans.

Greenfield and junior attackman Conor Gately were named to the second team.

A head-turning season for the Golden Eagles could have led to Amplo winning the Big East Coach of the Year award for a second year in a row, but the man on the other side of the field this weekend, Georgetown’s Kevin Warne, was chosen instead.

The game will be aired live on the Big East Digital Network at 3:30 p.m. Thursday. The winner will face the winner of the No. 4/3 Denver-Villanova matchup, which will take place following the first semifinal at 6 p.m.
