Consent: It’s a mutual agreement Students react to the Consent & Respect Sexual Awareness course.
KALEB NORTH Staff Writer “I’ve always felt that alcohol is made too accessible to college students,” was the initial comment Jonathan Moore gave when asked what he thought of the recent Consent & Respect Sexual Awareness online training course. Speaking with Cyrenthia Jordan, Director of Equal Opportunity and Title IX, she said Minnesota and Illinois are among the first states to require the sexual awareness course completion within the first ten days of the semester. “The sexual assault training course and violence prevention became effective on August 1st of 2016, as a state mandate,” Jordan said. When questioned about who is required to complete the course, Jordan said, “All students of public and private colleges and universities.” She added that a few high schools were also voluntarily conducting the training. “Any enrolled student, if you have one or more courses that you’re enrolled in at MNSU Mankato, you must take the course. Last year it was for first year students only, this year it’s mandatory for all students,” Jordan said. “I think it’s important that if we have to take the Alcohol Wise testing that we should take the Consent one too because they both go hand in hand, and it’s important to be aware of it,” said Emily Flaherty, a freshmen waiting for her class to begin. Reviewing the April 2016 publication of the MNSU
(CC BY-NC-ND 2.0) by Sean Molin Photography Mankato Annual Security and Fire Safety Report, specifically pages 15 and 16, students that were interviewed were taken aback with the statistics. “Crazy; most of the sexual assaults reported happened on campus!” said one student, who requested to remain anonymous. The crime statistics on those pages identified three sex offenses of forcible rape in the year 2014 occurring in the “On-Campus Property/ On-Campus Student Housing Facilities” category. Five for the year 2013 and four for the 2012 year. “I’m not a big drinker, and the people I surround myself with aren’t drinkers either,” shared Kinsey Fitzloff, a senior on campus. “I don’t even like to go out anymore because I know that’s what a lot of people’s mentality is. Their main goal
is to take someone home, and I can’t comfortably get tipsy because I know that when someone sees that, they’re going to be like, ‘That’s a target.’ Before, they didn’t want to talk to me and now that I’m getting drunk they want to come and talk to me, and that makes me uncomfortable to go out and drink and have fun with my friends because I don’t want to feel targeted,” said Fitzloff. Fitzloff explained that after going home with someone, for many students, regret often follows in the mornings. And that should serve as an indicator to alert students of the choices they make while intoxicated. According to the above Security and Fire Safety Report, 217 On-Campus Property Liquor Law Arrests were made in the 2014 calendar year, which

increased from 2013, at 191, and 170 Liquor Law Arrests in 2012. Jonathan, a non-traditional student, had this to share; “In a small town like Mankato, I know that students get bored and need an outlet from school work tasks and exams, I don’t think it should be alcohol. They should find other resources and other ways of letting off steam because alcohol and alcohol abuse lead to some very complicated situations especially when it comes to safe sex and underage drinking.” Jonathan’s insight was astonishing. He spoke regarding the effects of alcohol consumption and how it can persuade a person to do things that they normally wouldn’t. “You have to surround yourself with responsible people that are going to look out for you and hopefully people who are not going to let you go out and consume too much alcohol,” Jonathan said. Kinsey Fitzloff voiced her admiration of the Safe Bar Initiative, a program where local area restaurant employees and night life establishments receive

training on how to identify and intervene in situations that indicate a potential sexual assault or harassment event. “Usually it’s about power and control it’s not about the victim themselves. It isn’t about what individuals wear, how they talk, what kind of party they go to. It’s someone who chose them, to Jordan also spoke about how educational awareness is vital within the first couple of weeks of the semester, because research suggests that’s when a majority of the incidents take place. Jordan also discussed an application that is available as a free download, Circle of 6. The application allows the user to add six contacts to their circle of safety. The application provides the user with the ability to send cursory messages to their selected circle of contacts in the event that preliminary help is needed. Such as, “come get me, I need help getting home safely,” or, “call me and pretend that you need me, I need an interruption.” The former, also sends GPS coordinates to the group. This is a tool of the bystander intervention segment, mentioned in the online training course. In contrast, one student, who will remain anonymous, was not content with the content that could possibly bring a survivor back to depression due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. “I would say, have them take a course or information session that gives them a list of resources,” said the student. “Like around Mankato, such as the Mayo Clinic Health Systems, attorneys and the CADA Women’s Shelter.” It is important to note,

Maverick Profile: Introducing Andy McIntyre MNSU student explains why he chose to make the change to veganism.
ELLYN GIBBS Staff Writer Sausage pizza, leather dress shoes, dish soap, and wool socks. These are just a few common items that won’t be present in Andy McIntyre’s home. McIntyre, fifth year philosophy student at Minnesota State University, Mankato, practices veganism, a lifestyle that abstains from using any animal products. This method sounds impossible in today’s culture, but McIntyre has found a lot of freedom in his way of life. WHY VEGANISM? McIntyre’s reason behind veganism is simple: “I don’t think killing animals and
eating them is that cool.” His choice of veganism is a way he is taking stand against the death of animals, not only the way in which they die. “I think overpopulation is an idea we made up because we believe we own the land. If we feel that deer or moose are taking up too much of our land, that isn’t a problem with them. Maybe we just need to chill out over how much land we think we deserve.” MAKING THE CHANGE McIntyre was 22 when he abandoned the normal American diet. He made a complete change rather than try to ease into the new lifestyle. Veganism isn’t only about food, either. McIntyre must ensure sure that other products he buys are manmade. “A lot of glue is animal based, and horsehair is often used in shoes or clothing as well,” he said. At first, McIntyre had to go
Timeline of events in Jacob Wetterling’s abduction A timeline of events related to the abduction of 11-year-old Jacob Wetterling of St. Joseph, Minnesota: Oct. 22, 1989: Jacob Wetterling is abducted from a rural road by a masked gunman as he rides bikes with his brother and a friend near his home about 80 miles northwest of Minneapolis. Oct. 26, 1989: Deputies on horseback and hundreds of people search for Jacob, but find nothing. Oct. 29, 1989: About 225 National Guard troops and 80 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources workers unsuccessfully search for clues. Supporters of the boy’s family release more than 1,000 white balloons

after a church service. December 1989: Investigators are deluged with tips after they release a new sketch of a suspect. Authorities also say they believe the man who kidnapped Jacob was responsible for the January 1989 abduction and sexual assault of a boy in nearby Cold Spring. 1990: Jacob’s parents, Patty and Jerry Wetterling, set up the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, which works to help communities and families prevent child exploitation.

through his closet and get rid of all the belongings he owned that included animal products. He sold a few, but donated most of them to a local shelter. “The idea of [veganism] had been a moral concept I’d been wrestling with for quite a while. I didn’t realize how easy it would be to actually make the switch,” he said. THE DIET Before changing his diet completely, McIntyre had to study a good deal to learn about the nutrients his body needed, to prevent himself from collapsing with a sudden removal of animal products. Now that he’s living a completely vegan lifestyle, he feels nothing missing or unsatisfying about the way he eats and functions. “No flavor is worth the cost behind it,” he said. McIntyre eats raw foods throughout the first part of the day, and then adds cooked food such as rice during the afternoon and evening. “I eat a lot of rice,” he said. The time he spends preparing food is still minimal, because cooking in bulk amounts saves time and energy. He also enjoys not worrying about cooking food to certain temperatures to prevent contracting diseases like salmonella. A vegan diet removes that risk. Currently, he only needs to take one supplement (B12).
Photo Courtesy of Andy McIntyre McIntyre doesn’t feel the need to eat a lot of substitutes. “I like tofu, but I don’t consider it a substitute because it’s been around for 4,000 years,” he said. His favorite ‘vegan’ foods are bananas and mangoes, and he consumes around eight per day during his morning meal.
McIntyre encourages those considering a vegan lifestyle to research recipes online and do some personal study. He recommends the book How Not to Die by Michael Greger, M.D., as a good nutritional overview. “[Veganism] is not as complicated as people make it out to be,” he said.

The spectator and the pessimist: Two dangerous attitudes toward politics Opinion
LUKE LARSON Staff Writer Politics naturally divides society into groups. The divisions are very evident: Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals, communists and capitalists, and so on. These are examples of division by political orientation. We are also divided, however, by our metapolitical orientation, that is, our attitudes about the political realm itself. There is a portion of the population that deeply enjoys politics. For them, it’s a form of entertainment. Following elections, news from the campaign trail, Supreme Court rulings, and congressional votes can be exciting. The news media covers election season like ESPN covers the NFL. Perhaps it could be said that politics is the United States’ fifth major sport, with spectators who are just as passionate as fans of, say, baseball or hockey. On the other side of the spectrum is the portion of the population that can’t stand politics. For them,
politics is nothing more than a popularity contest between a bunch of good-for-nothing liars. Who could care? Who could stand to listen to pundits on TV analyze the campaign? According to these pessimists, it’s all a sad joke and the only reasonable option is to tune out. What is the purpose of politics? To help promote the well-being of a society. This is the reason government should exist and the focus it must have at all times. The problem with both the attitude of the spectator and the attitude of the pessimist is that their focuses are disordered. They’re detached from the ultimate purpose of politics. The spectator’s emphasis is on the horse race of politics, not the substance. The spectator is concerned with the latest poll numbers, the most scandalous statements made on the campaign trail, and the effectiveness of a given politician’s charisma. When politics is detached from its original purpose and becomes merely an entertaining pastime, it becomes meaningless. The pessimist focuses on the apparent ineffectiveness of the government. Rather than focusing on what can be done, they focus on how the government is falling short. Because of this, the pessimist doesn’t consider, or perhaps ignores, what he or she could

“What is the purpose of politics? To help promote the well-being of a society. This is the reason government should exist and the focus it must have at all times. The problem with both the attitude of the spectator and the attitude of the pessimist is that their focuses are disordered. They’re detached from the ultimate purpose of politics.“ as individuals towards the betterment of society. They would realize that by visiting a lonely neighbor, using their talents to volunteer in their community, or going out of their way to help a friend in need, they will be doing much more good than you will by knowing the latest juicy details from Washington. The pessimist’s distaste for politics is born of a concern for society. It’s a belief that politics is ineffective in promoting and preserving good in society. But this attitude can easily become an excuse for inaction. The pessimist sees a lot that’s wrong around them and puts the blame on the politicians. Politicians are, of course, responsible for many of the faults in society, but
that doesn’t lessen our own personal responsibility to do our part to improve the world around us. If anything, a dysfunctional government should only encourage us all the more to work for change. If the spectators’ and pessimists’ attitudes are both disordered, what then is the appropriate attitude to have towards politics? It is a more balanced approach. It recognizes that politics plays an important role in society, but that it is a means to an end, an important reality the spectator risks overlooking. It is an understanding that the purpose of politics – the only purpose – is the promotion of the common good of society. But it is also an understanding that politics is just ones means of

however, that those resources were made available. The survivor’s presentation was the very last segment to the issued training. The anonymous student recommended presenting two courses, one for survivors and one for the general student body. And providing two separate hyperlinks to those courses in the distribution email. Overall, the general consensus that was received from students, faculty and community members, both on and off the record, was positive and reinforcing. A few students were left wondering if the course is made available for review at any given time if they wish to refresh their knowledge. “I think last year was my first time ever experiencing anxiety from exams, I’ve never experienced anything like that in my life, and what I did instead of drinking alcohol, I got on my mountain bike and I rode
some of these mountains here,” said Jonathan, the non-traditional student and gym rat. “I’m an avid artist, so I do art. I listen to quality jazz. But see, you learn those things as you get older. When you’re young, you still follow the crowd and you’re searching for popularity. But as you get a little older you realize that you can be popular by yourself and introduce things to people that might not seem as popular as drinking. As you mature you learn these outlets and you learn to do the right thing,” said Moore. I agree with Jonathan. When I find myself at a bar with friends (seldomly), I never purchase a woman a drink. Instead, I ask if she’d like to shoot pool or throw darts. This is cheaper, and provides us with time to talk and get to know one another. If she mentions that she’s terrible at both, then great, I am too and we’ll have more time between ourselves.

Our family, our neighbors, our culture, and the various conditions that surround us have much more of an impact on our lives than Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump ever will. Political participation is one important way that citizens can work towards improving the well-being of society, but it is not the only way. It’s not even the primary
way. The world needs less political pessimists and more individuals who realize that they can make a positive impact in their homes, neighborhoods, and schools. Rather than just complaining about why the government isn’t doing a good enough job promoting the well-being of society, individuals should take action themselves. It’s not a utopian philosophy that expects that everyone
will do their part. Humans will never all behave. History and personal experience attest to that. But every time an individual realizes the importance of the ideal from politics derives its reason for existence – namely, the betterment of society – and acts upon it in their own capacity, the world will become a little better place.

Hallways were blocked off with them, they smelled, they were in poor condition, they were on the floor.” Those were some of the opening remarks shared by student Michael Cimino, describing the conditions many American flags were in that were utilized in his Allegiance Installation. An installation is a genre of art that uses the three-dimensional form to influence a specific space, oftentimes an indoor location. The Allegiance Installation held its opening reception on Saturday, Aug. 27 and is showing until Sept. 25 at the Arts Center of Saint Peter in St. Peter, Minnesota.

Several municipal and veteran’s organizations offered guidance and support to help ensure that the exhibition does not cross the line into satire or humiliation,” reads the artist’s statement, at the entrance to the exhibit. “… Looking for a singed flag, Michael, is there one?” asked an exhibit patron. “I brought those back to the American Legion. I do not want to exhibit them right now,” said Cimino. “They were intentionally desecrated. It pisses me off. I didn’t want to use them,” explained Cimino when asked why he wouldn’t display them.

But what of the man who created Tarzan? What was his life like? And what other inspiring stories has he written besides fantastic tales of the King of the Jungle? From the time of his birth on Sept. 1 1875, to 1911, every endeavor he ever participated resulted in failure. Goldminer, cowboy in Idaho, soldier in the Seventh Cavalry, shopkeeper, railroad po-

was Tarzan of the Apes. Even though it had been rejected by every major book industry, Burroughs still got $700 out of it for writing for All-Story Magazine. Sadly he would never finish the last two Tarzan books, Tarzan and The Madman (1964) and Tarzan and the Castaways (1965), due to his death on March 1, 1950 at the age of 74. He had three children. The first Tarzan movie to come out was the same name of the first of many books in 1918. It was a silent film starring Elmo Lincoln as the king of the apes himself and Enid Markey as Jane Porter, according to tarzan.org.

two story exhibit facility is insignificant. As the Stars and Stripes were draped on the walls and ceilings to quickly inundate the visitor with torn fibers, faded hues and soiled stripes. Cimino respected all US Flag Codes and kept the flags from touching the floor, merchandise or bodies of water. Cimino described that the 3’x5’ flags were the standard residential flags. “The 9’x5’ is, by definition, a casket flag. And I do not use those, without the weight of actually knowing that.” Said Cimino, as he meticulously described and genuinely paused to acknowledge the history of the collection of flags. All of the flags were produced from polyester and nylon and made in the US, manufactured by companies like Annin, Valley Forge and Reliance. “What will you do with them after you’re done,” inquired Nicole Soley, a gallery guest. He then belabored into detail describing how three other galleries are interest-
ed in his installation. He also clarified that by extending the installation to other regions, the flags would survive longer. “I’ve agreed with the American Legions, that I would be having my own decommissioning ceremony with them,” said Cimino. “That’s cool,” expressed Soley. The Mankato Boy Scouts agreed to help Cimino in properly destroying the ensigns. “As a young person and not really understanding what it means to be patriotic, I don’t know if I would display a flag. I feel it makes people uncomfortable,” Soley said, “and people don’t know what it means, not all people, but some people don’t know what it means to have a flag in your yard. I feel like I could scare someone, by having it up in my yard.” Two 22-foot flags, previously flown at Perkins restaurants, were secured from a higher elevation at the south wall and fastened to the lower elevation of the northern ceiling.

Various cartoons, TV shows, comics and other movies including the Disney versions and the Legend of Tarzan.

The convex shape of both flags, strategically divided the upper level atrium ceiling, into thirds, providing a framed view to the lower level, which seemed to serve as the focal point of the Installation. “The show did not come without conflict and controversy, I received vague and direct threats against my well-being. Standing in the dead center makes me pretty damn nervous, and I always wondered why. I expected it, but why?” asked Cimino, hypothetically to the audience, in his opening remarks. At this point, Cimino raced to find an inflatable plastic rifle. Adorned with the pattern of the US Flag, and “USA” stamped on the buttstock. “This was given to me by my girlfriend. She got this at a carnival. A nine-year-old was actually holding it,” he said. “Oh my God,” whispered an adjacent bystander. “Budweiser has changed their beer to the name “America.” Surly, the brewing company in Minneapolis, has come out with a beer called ‘#Merica!’ But that’s

Elizabeth Socha, a visitor to the exhibit, shared her thoughts on the Installation: “It’s very patriotic. Great way of showing these, rather than sitting in someone’s basement. There are so many different ones, old ones and all so unique and beautiful. They’re interactive, the fact that you can touch the flags. You normally go to an art exhibit and you can’t touch anything, or take pictures.” Emily Geiger, who accompanied Socha, said, “I wish that the protestors were here, to hear their side of the story, and why they think that this is disrespectful. Because I think that by showcasing them and
hanging them we’re honoring all Americans, each flag holds history and by hanging them, we’re sharing that story.” The iconoclastic artist hopes to take the Installation north, to the cities and south, to Alabama and Tennessee. “What would happen if I did this show in Texas?” asked Cimino. “. . .to me this show is about the responsible use of material, . . doing something with it that might be beautiful for somebody. . , making some use out of it because to me- that’s what I find America to be, . . that we take the best of what we have and we make the best of it,” concluded Cimino in his closing comments.

Website, app makes lodging on a budget easier Airbnb lets tourists stay in houses, apartments, castles for cheap.
RYAN NEIL Staff Writer One of the biggest hurdles a college student faces when traveling is hotel prices. While you may find a great deal on a flight that you booked a year in advance, it is hard to find the same deal on big name hotels in that area.This dissuades a lot of people from seeing the world while they are young. This is made even more difficult if you plan to go to a big name city during a busy time time of the year. A company has made these monetary issues more manageable, though. Airbnb makes it more affordable for anyone to travel to any one of their two million plus listings worldwide. Airbnb was founded in 2008 and is based in San
Francisco, California. It has a unique way of bringing travel to their customers. Instead of renting a hotel at a Hilton or Marriott, you may rent house from a nurse named Hilary or a villa from a lawyer named Mary. People post their own houses, apartments, rooms, or even castles for you to pick from. Their website makes it easy to search in the city of your dreams for all the available options. Former MNSU Art Education graduate Helen Peightal has used Airbnb twice. She traveled to Milwaukee and Chicago staying in Airbnb sites rather than hotels. Peightal said that the two sites she stayed at were more “homey” than hotels. The low end cost for a hotel in Chicago is right around $80. While a room in a house might be smaller than a hotel room, Airbnb rooms go for as low as $20 a night. The room that Peightal stayed in in Chicago was close to downtown and had “nice owners”. This is often the draw to these sites because they are unique to
Infographic created by Ryan Neil the owner. Every one of the sights is new and exciting. The only negative she could find was that there was not much privacy because the owners lived in the same home as the residents. Anybody can become an Airbnb host. By following a few easy steps your place can be up for rent too. The site asks for an address, a list of amenities, what kind of room
it is, and what kind of property it is. After this, the owner can add pictures of the site to make it look better to the potential renter. Finally the owner sets the calendar and makes availability for the site. Owners account for their own busy weekends or vacations, based on the location there are obviously busier times than others. Airbnb is providing an alternative to the usu-
al hotel chains and website a traveler can choose from. It is a new and exciting way to find great deals on dream destinations. Now students looking to go to Maui or Ireland can find a Airbnb to call home during their trip. No longer will high housing costs make the spring break trip unfeasable thanks to the innovation of Airbnb.

No. 6 MNSU defeats Minot State, home opener Saturday
COLT JOHNSON Staff Writer After Minnesota State’s first win of the season against Minot State, it is full sails ahead as the Mavericks prepare for their home opener against Bemidji State. The Mavericks and Beavers each played their first games of the season on September 1st. In their first game of the season, the Mavericks came out firing on all cylinders. “We played fast, we played hard, and we played together.” Head Coach Todd Hoffner said. “We had tons of energy- I think the guys were really excited for one another and excited to play football. We looked like a fast team out there and I think we played well.” Getting the first win of the season was important for a young team like MSU, as they try to find their identity
and make a name for themselves early in the season. Speaking on behalf of the win last Thursday, Hoffner was extremely pleased with his team’s performance. “It was a great opportunity for our guys to go out and play football. It’s been a while since we played. We had an early exit from the playoffs last year, but I think we gelled fairly well.” Hoffner said. After a long offseason, shaking off the proverbial cobwebs was a concern for the Mavericks coming into the first game of the season. Luckily Hoffner and the rest of the coaching staff had a plan to get rid of the rust early. “What we did in our warm up the day of the game helped. We put our cleats on in the morning and went on the field and went through some different scenarios.” Hoffner said. “I think that did a lot to help because we did have some cobwebs in the morning.” The early morning walkthrough seemed to give the Mavericks an early boost in the game Thursday night as the Mavericks started out
red-hot. The focal point for the Mavericks’ offense was a tenacious run game. As an offense, the Mavericks totaled 291 yards on the ground. Senior running back Virgil Hammond led the Mavericks’ run game with 88 yards and a touchdown on just 13 carries. Not far behind him was junior quarterback Nick Pieruccini with 86 yards via the ground as the Chicago, Illinois native ended up in the end zone twice. Pieruccini is a terrific dual-threat at the quarterback position, as he can hurt opposing defenses on the ground and through the air. Even with the success the Mavericks saw in their first game of the season, Hoffner still thinks there is plenty of room for improvement. “It’s the largest room in the world.” Hoffner said. “Our guys can really get a lot better at the fundamentals, pad-level, and playing the full play.” Hoffner went on talking about the team’s motive, say-

Volleyball upsets, sweeps weekend in Tampa Mavericks start 4-0 for the second consecutive season.
TOMMY WIITA Sports Editor Minnesota State opened their 2016 season with a clean sweep of all four teams they faced, including a massive upset over then-ranked No. 7 University of Tampa. The first day appeared to be a breeze for the Mavericks, as they faced Franklin Pierce and Pittsburgh-Johnstown. The Mavericks were able to break an eight-all tie and cruise to victory during the first set, 25-15. The second set featured much of the same, as the ending score was the same as the first. The momentum proved to be vital at this

a team, the Mavericks had a 41-18 advantage in kills and dominated in assists with 37.
The Ravens of Franklin Pierce only had 17 throughout the three sets. Senior Krista Hass-
ing led all players in kills, tallying 14 along with two blocks. Sophomore Autumn Risch was able to spread the ball out extremely well, tacking up 31 assists. The ladies would then face Pittsburgh-Johnstown, who would provide some close contests. The Mountain Cats and Mavericks would see a first set that would feature 11 ties and eight lead changes. MSU was able to battle adversity and overcome it as they were able to win each set to earn their second sweep of the day. The Mavericks won each match (in order) by five, two and three points. This time, Senior Sydney Geisness led the Mavericks in total kills with 15. Head Coach Lori Rittenhouse-Wollmuth said earlier this year Geisness would

Mavericks tie with UWP, play two this weekend
COREY YUMAN Staff Writer Minnesota State hit the road to open up the regular season at UW-Parkside. The game ended in a draw with neither team being able to put any points on the board throughout regulation and two overtime periods. The Mavericks got off to a slow start in the first half, as they tried to find some rhythm and momentum on offense. The women were only able to get off one shot compared to UW-Parkside’s three.
Alexa Rabune It was not until the second half of action that MNSU started to pick up some steam. UWP got off another three shots but MNSU was able to
fire back eight shots of their own. In the two overtime periods things remained even with UWP outshooting MSU 4-3. When the final whistle blew, MNSU had the edge and out shot UWP 12-11 with five of Minnesota State’s shots being on goal. Playing goalie for the Mavericks was redshirt freshman Alexa Rabune who played in her first full game, including regulation and overtime. Rabune made six saves in her 110 minutes on the field while UWP’s goalie finished with five saves. Looking forward to this weekend, the Mavericks will play their first regular season games at home. First up will be the Ferris State Bulldogs on Friday. These two teams will meet up for the first time since September 3rd, 2010 where Minnesota State walked away with a 1-0 victory. Ferris State is entering the weekend with a 1-1 record after opening the year losing to Lewis 0-3 and bouncing back with a 4-0 win over St. Joseph’s a few days later. They finished their 2015 campaign with a 14-5-1 record. Rachel Fouts is currently leading Ferris State with points with four and has two goals off of nine shots. The Bulldogs also played three different women at goalie in their first two games including Alison Chesterfield,
Photo from Reporter Archives The Mavericks are looking to continue their recent success in the program’s history. Since 2013, the ladies have accumulated a 91-10-12 record. Grace Kraft, and Nyla Peterkin. Freshman Grace Kraft played all 90 minutes of their 4-0 win and was credited with the shutout victory. She made seven saves in what was her very first start of her collegiate career. On Sunday the Mavs will play their second game of the weekend, this time against the Grand Valley State Lakers. Grand Valley’s squad are sitting on a 1-0-1 record for 2016 season after coming off a 2015 season that saw them go an incredible 23-1-1.
By the time this game starts it will be nearly a year since Minnesota State and Grand Valley have met on the field, with the last match happening on September 13th, 2015 when Grand Valley mustarded out the 2-1 win. Last year Clare Carlson and Marti Corby scored the goals that defeated Minnesota State and both ladies will be back this year to attempt repeating. Grand Valley’s Jayma Martin is currently topping the team with 3 points including an assist and a goal while
Corby slightly trails her with two points and one goal. Goalie Jennifer Steinaway has started both of Grand Valley’s games that gives her a 1-0-1 record in which she has made eight saves and has allowed only one goal. Minnesota State will kick things off at 4:30 p.m. Friday, at the Pitch against Ferris State and at 12:00 p.m. Sunday versus Grand Valley.

“We played fast, we played hard, and we played together.” Head Coach Todd Hoffner said. “We had tons of energy- I think the guys were really excited for one another and excited to play football. We looked like a fast team out there and I think we played well.”
Photo from Reporter Archives Senior defensive back Mat Andriano and the rest of the Mavericks defense will have their hands full facing a tough Bemidji State offense. ing “We have to give it all we got, all the time and that’s been our slogan and theme for the week- all we got, all the time.” Even after a solid 35-7 victory over Minot State, the focus will remain continuing the effort to improve on all aspects of the game. The Mavericks will be preparing this week to play a tough Bemidji State team that
totaled 547 yards in their 3824 win over Upper Iowa last week. Bemidji State was lead by junior quarterback Jordan Hein. Hein led the offense in both rushing and passing. On the ground, Hein accumulated 99 yards and a touchdown on just 11 rushes. Through the air Hein was able to pass for 296 yards and two touchdowns, giving him a total of 395 yards and three touch-
downs. The Mavericks defense will have their hands full in trying to handle the quarterback for Beavers. Limiting his success and providing pressure up front on the defensive line will be crucial if the Mavericks defense hopes to limit the success of the opposing offense. “We’re facing a very talented, fast, physical kind of team. They’re very similar to us in nature where they have a lot of speed,” Hoffner said. “They had a very impressive outing in their first game, and they dominated their game from the beginning to the end so we’re going to have our hands full at Blakeslee.” When referring to the play of Hein, Hoffner held him in high regard. “He’s quite a playmaker.” Hoffner said. “He does a really good job of making plays in space and makes good decisions with the football.” The sixth-ranked Minnesota State Mavericks will host Bemidji State this Saturday at Blakeslee Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 6:00 p.m. The Bemidji State Beavers played well in their home opener last week, but the Mavericks will be looking to add a win to their 1-0 record this Saturday at home.

VOLLEYBALL continued from 9 play a major factor into the 2016 season. “[Geisness] will be one of the best well-rounded outsides in the NSIC,” Rittenhouse-Wollmuth said. On the second day of matches, the Mavericks would face Henderson State and No. 7 ranked University of Tampa. Hassing set her personal career high of kills, as she notched her 1,000th kill in the second set of the first match. The Mavericks would defeat the Reddies 3-1, giving them their third win on the young season. Hassing would once again lead in kills with 12 for the Mavericks, and Geisness would add 10. Sophomore Sydney Powell, coming off an injury her freshman season, notched eight kills in the contest. “[Powell] will surprise a lot of people [this season],” Rittenhouse-Wollmuth said. The final match was against the seventh-ranked University of Tampa Spartans, which would be the match the Mavericks were
the hungriest for the entire weekend no doubt. The Mavericks would win the first set, and the Spartans would come back to win the second set. In set three, both teams were deadlocked at 18, but the Mavericks were able to go on a run and claim victory for the third set 25-20. The Spartans would then see an upset become reality, as the Mavs took the fourth and final set 25-18. Just as stated before by Rittenhouse-Wollmuth, Powell would certainly come out and shock the world. She led the Mavericks in kills with 16 against the seventh-best team in the country. Risch was able to notch 142 assists on the weekend, with a career-high 43 assists coming against the University of Tampa. Minnesota State (4-0 overall, 0-0 NSIC) will next take on the Rockhurst University Hawks on Friday, September 9th. The match will be played in Maryville, Missouri. First serve is set for 9 a.m.
