The University celebrated 90 years of the Wolfpack name Friday through Sunday with Parents and Families Weekend and the Family of the Year Award. The idea to call the N.C. State community the Wolfpack was adopted in 1921, so this year marks the ninetieth birthday of the official title. The anniversary was tied into the twelfth annual Parents and Families Weekend. The objective of the event is to involve the families of students in some University traditions, according to Laci Weeden, assistant director of Parents and Families Services. One way in which the University celebrates family involvement is through the Family of the Year Award. “This fall marks the thirteenth anniversary of the Family of the Year Award. The stories that students share, as well as many others, are special examples of what Parents and Families Weekend is all about. Families, and the role they play in their students’ lives, are essential values at N.C. State University,” Weeden said. The student who writes the best essay on the topic of family wins the award for the entire family. For the first time since the award’s inception, it was given to two families this year: the families of Crystal Tsang, a junior in the Poole College of Management, and Caroline Funkhouser, a junior in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences. “Crystal’s essay honors her mother, Candy Yung; her father, John Tsang; and her brother, William Tsang. Caroline’s essay honors her father, Ed Funkhouser and late mother, Ellen Teague. Crystal’s and Caroline’s essays were chosen from 27 entries,” Weeden said. Both families were recognized with a presentation during Saturday’s football game against Georgia Tech. Chancellor Randy Woodson and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Tom Stafford presented both families with a commemorative plaque and $500 book scholarship.

A conservative Student Senate committee debated fee increases proposed to them by various departments, and, except for one, decided to recommend less than what those departments wanted. A student fees committee comprised of eight senators met to discuss five proposed bills Sunday night. Four of the members, enough for quorum, kept the idea of “necessity over want” as they shot down requests by NCSU Athletics, the Union Activities Board, Student Health Services and Student Centers. Not all on-campus departments requested an increase in fees, and most are not eligible. The committee was responsible for discussing those who asked for more. All of their recommendations are just that — recommendations. They will be voted on by the entire Student Senate Monday.

Caroline Funkhouser, a junior in communication, recieves the Family of the Year award at the Georgia Tech game Saturday.

Funkhouser said she was honored to have won the title and was overjoyed when she got the call telling her that her family won the award. “We got to hang out in the chancellor’s box with the chancellor and vice chancellor. It was a really cool experience, they are great guys — laid back and funny,” Funkhouser’s younger brother said. Funkhouser’s sister-in-law, said it was a good family experience and that the family had plans later in the day to spend more time together.

“We are participating in another event and planting saplings around residence halls. It’s great, and a really good family experience,” she said. Tsang said it was her third attempt at the competition and said she felt a sense of achievement finally winning it. “It was my freshman year when I realized that it was only because of my family that I got a chance to study here, so I entered the competition but

Recommendation: Less. The athletics department asked for an increase of $35, which would make their total yearly fee $227.00 per student. The committee recommended $30. Athletics wanted more money to continue to increase travel and recruiting budgets, increase academic support programs for student athletes and hire and retain coaches. As Senator Bradley Poston, a junior in human biology said, “I want to win.” If it were not for the fact that highly publicized athletics teams have been losing with so much frequency in the recent past, the four senators present would have recommended less than the $30.

Student Health Services Recommendation: Less Student Health wanted a $10 per student increase. The committee recommended a $7 increase. Student health administrators want to allocate two-thirds of the increased fee to make room for two positions: a pharmacist and a “pharmacy administrative support associate.” The remaining one-third would go toward increased laboratory staffing due to increased demand and general building maintenance. Senators in the committee looked up average pharmacist and assistant pharmacist salaries, both nationally and those already employed on campus, and decided $10 was too large of an increase. They also mentioned that Student Health received a fee increase of $12.50 last year — mostly for the health center’s building renovations.

University Recreation Recommendation: Unchanged University Recreation requested an increase in fees per student of $13.17, which would bring their yearly fee to $142.27. The committee recommended $13.17. Recreation wants to foster longer hours of operation at Carmichael Gymnasium, which would require further staffing — most of whom would be students. Recreation also wants to offer more fitness classes and prepare for expansion to Centennial Campus. It was announced last week that the men’s locker room at Carmichael will begin a major overhaul in November. Recreation’s fee increase request had nothing to do with that particular project, according to committee chair and senior in meteorology Patrick Devore.

Union Activities Board Recommendation: Less The UAB requested an increase of $0.37, which would bring their total fee per student to $15.50. The committee recommended students give them $0 more — nothing. Although all eight members of the committee were not present Sunday, all of them helped gather informa-

Fans of University Theater were met with a spectacular performance from this year’s seasonopening production, The Philadelphia Story. The Philadelphia Story, previously a movie starring Katherine Hepburn, is the tale of young Tracy’s adventure to find true love. From her snobby fiancé, to her first husband, to her love affair, the play takes the audience through Tracy’s struggle to reach happiness. Allison Bergman, assistant director of University Theatre, said that the play was chosen to fit into the yearlong theme of “See it on Stage.” “We were looking for a fitting comedy, and John McIlwee [the director of University Theatre], has a particular interest in Katherine Hepburn’s work,” Bergman said. “It seemed like a fun challenge for our students, too.” Megan Bridges, a junior in international studies, played the role of May. She said the play was also picked to satisfy the taste of the older audience members. “I believe this show is more of a nod to our season pass holders

Hillsborough Street renovations were completed for the most part in September of 2010. However, new restaurants, such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Hot Box Pizza, are starting to appear on the street, which borders the northern edge of N.C. State’s campus. These new popular chains, in addition to restaurants and bars already located on the street, give students many alternatives to N.C. State sponsored on-campus dining venues.

Students want more than food on Hillsborough Street Students claim they like the variety on the street, but want more. Brooke Wallig Staff Writer

After more than a year of renovations, some businesses on Hillsborough Street have not only survived, but flourished, while others have completely vanished—an issue continuing into this year. According to Jeff Mursion, executive director at Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation, students and faculty make up one of the largest patron groups on Hillsborough Street, and their demand is a major factor in shaping what succeeds on the street. “There’s no question that students are the foundation of the market, though there are a lot

of places that cater to residents that live nearby,” Murison said. “We’ve got a wide variety, and there’s a very natural turnover that’s a part of any healthy marketplace—which is also a little bit driven by demand.” But that demand may be changing again. For Cherry Chan, a junior in accounting, the prices and convenience of food on Hillsborough Street make it a great place to grab a bite to eat, but not to do much else. “The prices are okay in my opinion, and the restaurants are convenient too, because at places like Jimmy John’s we can order online,” Chan said. “But I’d really like for them to open more kinds of shops. Not just restaurants or bookstores, but shoes or clothes shops. We like shopping, too.” While Ryan Lemelin, a sophomore in polymer and color chemistry, said he wouldn’t

be opposed to changes on the street, and said he wonders if it would be possible for larger businesses to have space on the street. “It’s kind of difficult for large chains to move into Hillsborough Street, so in that sense the possibilities are already limited to small take-out type eateries,” Lemelin said. “The places that choose to move in there are already at a disadvantage due to the size of the spaces available.” According to Murison, lack of adequate space is a major problem when it comes to bringing in new businesses. “[Space restrictions] are definitely part of the equation. We have a lot of old facilities designed and used for food-onthe-go establishments and are not really designed for modern retailers,” Murison said. “That makes it hard to attract new additions to the street. That’s also

tion relevant to making the right decisions, according to Devore. When members of the committee showed up for a conference with UAB administrators, UAB President Matt Woodward did not show up, according to Devore. The senators agreed that the UAB’s request for an increase was not specific enough. The request did make it specific, though, that they wanted a 3 percent increase for inflation, but the UAB has $20,000 in reserves.

Bergman said that the hardest challenge for the actors was adapting to the specific style of comedy present in the production. “Mastering this style of comedy is the toughest challenge for the actors,” Bergman said. “It’s of a period and a society that is most likely out of their experience.” According to Bridges, the show was successful due to the experience of the actors. “This cast is mostly made up of seasoned actors who have a good feel for the stage and new ones who have taken on the task with ease and class,” Bridges said. Lauren Caddick, a sophomore in art and design, attended the show on Wednesday night.

OIED requested $2.23 to hire a single person in the Women’s Center: an Interpersonal Violence Awareness Program Coordinator. The committee did not have enough information to make an informed recommendation, but the amount $1.55 was thrown around as senators said “pay him or her less.” The topic will be brought up again Monday at the full Senate meeting; committee members have a meeting with the Women’s Center Monday night.

Campus Enterprises, which operates the four student centers — Witherspoon Student Center, Talley Student Center, Thompson Hall and Price Music Center — asked for an increase of $14.12. The committee recommended $6.50. The centers have eight housekeeping staff members, as opposed to the 12 national standards suggest would be best. Also, with the expansion of Talley, Campus Enterprises wanted more staff in general.

the atmospheres in these places are irreplaceable.” According to Murison, the Hillsborough Street Community Service Corporation realizes the need for an increased variety in non-food related businesses, and will likely work to bring more of those businesses to the street in the future. “More and more, people are on the street doing a whole range of things and are recognizing Hillsborough Street as a focal point of Pack pride,” Murison said. “There’s no question from my research that [students] would like a more diverse range of options on the street—not just food or shopping—but activities, and things to do and places to go meet their friends. We’ve got to build on the basics we already have, and help create more of a ‘destination’ feel for the street.”

Her brother said on behalf of the whole family that they are proud of her, and they thank her for entering the competition. When Tsang gave her family a chance to be recognized for their ceaseless support, they were appreciative because traditionally, it’s the parents who are supposed to provide for the kids. They added that they like N.C. State because the people here took care of them. They felt honored to be part of the University’s traditions. Associate Director of Parents and Families Services Jennifer Bell said the essay contest and all other activities were huge successes. “Students should always look out for [the Family of the Year Award] competition; we have it in fall every year four weeks prior to families weekend,” Bell said.

{Our view}

The Facts:

NCSU lost to Georgia Tech Saturday 45-35. With Georgia Tech up 42-14 with 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the student sections became empty.

Our Opinion:

NCSU student fans hold a special place in athletics. They are almost as crucial to the success of our athletic teams as the athletes themselves. The abandoning of the football team on Saturday was unwarranted and should be met with shame upon reflection.

Don’t abandon your team W The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board, excluding the news department, and is the responsibility of the editor-in-chief.

hether you were watching the game in person or on television Saturday, you saw one of the more iconic images in sports—an empty student section. What was once a sea of red covering the end-zone, student sections became barren deserts, occupied only by that which was physically cemented there: the bleachers. The scene witnessed on Saturday should never be witnessed again. This scene goes against everything NCSU should stand for. The storied history of NCSU athletics has as much to do with its fan base as the teams. The final product of NCSU athletics has as much to do with the environment produced, in large part the responsibility of the students, as it has to do with on-field performance.

This central idea, that student fans are so integral to college athletics, is what makes college sports what they are. The performance by the student fans on Saturday is just as condemnable. The student section was not recently expanded in both Carter-Finley and the RBC Center for no reason; it was done in response to the general concept of an NCSU student fan. In theory, students show up and stay. We will watch games in the rain, snow, in a blow-out or shut-out, we have a passion that borderlines insanity. It is this insanity that differentiates us from alumni; it is what makes it college football

instead of professional football. We should never be outdone in passion by alumni; however, it is exactly what happened on Saturday, our passion was no where to be found. A cop out for the behavior witnessed is easy to come by for those who do not want to face their actions: we were getting blown out, there is no reason to stay. This is absolutely the wrong sentiment; support for the football team was never needed more than it was on Saturday. The extent of the injuries required a change in expectations from the fans, which wasn’t given. Eleven players were injured and could not play, forcing many to step up, some for

the first time.The changes necessitate a certain level of support for a smooth transition. The football team needed a safety net; it needed the constant source of support that is the student fan base; however, we were nowhere to be found. At the time they needed us the most, we left them Absent of a historic Duketype football-losing streak, a barren student section should never be seen again. We should be speechless when reflecting on our own performance and more distraught than Tom O’Brien was after the game. When times are tough you show support, you do not throw those in need under the bus. In the future, let us all attempt to never abandon our team again.

Assigned seating in college is overrated

hen I entered college I thought I’d be free, I was wrong. I never imagined that I’d find the same constraints of high-school. We come to college to grow up and become the adults that we always envisioned, this being the case I should not be 19 years old Nijah Toshumba and still being told where to Staff Columnist sit. This cannot be fair, and I am pretty sure I’m not the only one who is fed up with professors in college telling us where to sit just because it makes their life easier. It is hard enough that you have to be in a class full of people you probably do not know, but to add assigned seating, making you sit beside that guy that breathes too loudly or the girl that clicks her pen because it’s a nervous habit, is just cruel. Professors say they assign seating to make sure students come to class every day and so they can check they are present. For example, in one of my communication classes I am forced to sit in the back of a large room just so the TA can walk up the steps, look down the row and check off that I am there. Maybe I wanted to sit in the first row or the middle, but because my last name starts with a “T” I am automatically put all the way in the back. In some aspects I do understand why college professors have to enforce assigned seating. The amount of students can be as high as 200 or more and we have our ways of mak-

ing it seem like we were in class when we really were not. Unfortunately, professors have gotten wiser and much more strict on how they deal with attendance. Professors want to make sure students are in their classroom every other day and ready to learn something new. Assigned seating is a drag on college students. If we want to attend class regularly I am pretty sure we would. In most cases our parents or ourselves are paying for our education and if we do not perform well it will be on us and not our professors. It just really gets under my skin that I cannot freely move from seat to seat each day I come into class just because my professor feels the righteous need to take roll. I have a couple of alternatives to professors putting us in assigned seating as if we were in kindergarten. I think they should pass around roll and let us sign in. We could also spend the first five minutes of every class and call out every name on the list and mark the ones who are not present. Being able to seat ourselves would prevent our suffering when we are forced to sit beside the annoying guy who always has to answer the question or when we are forced to squeeze our way down a narrow aisle while you step on people’s book bags and their feet. Let us find our way in the classroom, for it’s the goal of college anyway: to prepare us to find our way on our own.

What are your thoughts on N. C. State football this season? by Tejas Umbarkar

N.C. State football is having trouble in first.

race yourself. The midterm, the ritual celebrating the art of overcoming sleep-deprivation, is upon us. All around us, students can be observed performing the rites of cramming, pulling allnighters and nervously breaking dow n. T he Dileep e ve nt i s a Karpur spectacle to Staff Columnist behold, and it is an event, which, depending on one’s class structure, conspires to last for more than a month. The most peculiar change in behavior connected to the onset of these exams is the sudden rise in popularity of office hours. Generally, our professors’ office hours are sparsely attended and are left unused by students who would benefit the most from them. Granted, there is a small-dedicated slice of each class’s student body that utilizes them. However, for most it is only in dire times, such as midterm season or just before a major assignment is due, that office hours are used. Going to office hours somehow fell into the subcategory of class supplements. It’s viewed as something helpful, but as it is optional, it is

often ignored or forgotten. At its core, the underutilization of office hours is not an issue of laziness but an issue of the hours not being considered. Office hours would be more effective if they were by appointment only. Professors would not waste their time sitting in an empty office. Also, students would be able to schedule an available time, instead of using the convenient excuse of schedule overlap. It would also allow more students to attend office hours. Many students enter into a bit of culture shock when they enter college, as they were accustomed to the personalized attention they were given in high school. The attention they received was due in large part to small student-to-teacher ratios. With hundreds of students to deal with at one time, there is no way a professor in a class can give you any sort of personalized instruction. These complaints fall a bit flat when considering the extreme lack of interest these same students seem to have in office hours, an opportunity for personal interaction with a teacher. And while discussion sections help to alleviate that problem, they are not always effective. From my experience, professors are more than willing to help a student with any questions he or she might have about the class. Who is better

qualified than a professor to clarify any uncertainty relating to course material? Many professors are baff led by this lack of office hour use. Some are annoyed students are not taking advantage of the time they set aside and others worry it is their fault. They sit alone in their offices with the doors open for a couple hours every week and wonder if their designated times conf lict with their students’ schedules or if the students care at all. Then, when something is due, hoards of students they have never met complain about difficulties with class concepts. This cannot be the best use of available resources. Students do not take advantage of this valuable resource. It could be laziness, or it could be our busy schedules, but the root of the problem lies in a set belief of what successful study habits entail. The University should encourage professors to remind students about office hours. They should bring it up every class until it finally enters the student body’s thinking. The best first step for getting students to start using the opportunity of office hours is to remind them they are there in the first place.

Chocolate Festival educates, indulges N.C. State Women’s Center hosts annual Chocolate Festival to raise awareness of breast cancer. Jordan Alsaqa Arts & Entertainment Editor

The Women’s Center has spent the past two decades promoting services that connect academic studies on campus to real world issues and advocacy. One major issue is the growing need for breast cancer awareness among students. Since 2004, one of the greatest — and tastiest — tools the Women’s Center has used to spread that knowledge is the annual Chocolate Festival. The event, created by former director Frances Graham, began as just a fundraiser to help support the Women’s Center. However, members quickly decided that the event could also be used to help raise breast cancer awareness, and the Chocolate Festival has remained as educational as it is enjoyable ever since. Now in its eighth year, the event, held in Talley Student Center on Sept. 30, once again managed to draw crowds with the promise of chocolate as well as information about breast cancer. Ashley Simons-Rudolph, an alumna and the current director of the Women’s Center, feels that college students don’t understand how at risk for breast chris phipps/Technician cancer they are.

A week of reflection and repentance Campus Jewish community celebrates High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Sydney Barbieri Correspondent

For many, Hanukkah seems like the most important Jewish holiday, receiving attention during the winter holiday season, but for serious Jews, this week of the High Holidays comprise the pillars of their spirituality. Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur, the day of atonement, are considered to be possibly the two most significant holidays in the Jewish religion. Rash Hashanah, which takes place Sept. 28 at sundown, is when God judges people as individuals, according to associate professor in political science Sanford Kessler. “It is like he has a book in front of him and he totals up our good deeds and our bad deeds and he renders judgment on us,” Kessler said. “The space between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is a time when we can repent for our sins because we are written in the Book of Life, as it’s called on Rosh Hashanah, but we are not signed and sealed in the book until Yom Kippur, which comes 10 days later.” Yom Kippur, which takes place Oct. 7, is the day of atonement. “A lot of the prayers for the holidays

ask for forgiveness for sins and hope cian, for advice. For both holidays, traditional Shabthat we will be inscribed in the Book bat, Jewish Sabbath, rules go into efof Life,” Kessler said. These holidays represent a time fect, and many people take off work of intense ref lection to allow Jews and don’t use machinery, as if it were to think about the past year and the the day of rest.

pur is during fall break. “Most teachers are willing to work with students to allow us to miss class and make up anything we miss, including tests,” Mazur said. “I have been fortunate to have teachers that realize the importance of these holidays, especially the High Holidays.” Joseph, however, said she does not take off class because her classes are too rigorous and she does not want to get behind. Professor Kessler said he cancels class on Rosh Hashanah, though to his knowledge he only has one Jewish student in class. Nevertheless, Hillel is active outside these major holidays. “We host a Shabbat dinner and student-led service on campus about two Fridays each month,” Mazur said. “On off weeks, some students will go to a service at Chapel Hill or go to a local synagogue. We also have special events for other Jewish holidays such as a Hanukkah party, Purim party, and Passover Sedar each year.” Joseph said her goal as a Hillel officer is to expose others to the Jewish faith. “The best way to stay devoted to my culture is to share it with the people close to me, such as my roommate, Stacey, who has been born and raised in Sanford and never been exposed to Judaism,” Joseph said.

Two rappellers descend down the Wachovia Capitol Center building Saturday.

Over the edge, down 32 stories Story By Mark Herring | photos By Ben tran

North Carolina Special Olympics collects $130,000 with second annual rappelling event. Edward Kensicki, graphic design alum of 1997, braved the 32-story descent down the Wachovia Capitol Center for his second time—this time taking a chance to enjoy the view instead of worrying about the ropes. This time, facing 24 mph gusts, Kensicki, joined by 115 others, rappelled down the building as a benefit to raise money for the North Carolina Special Olympics. According to NCSO Communications Manager Rachel Milano, the event, Over the Edge, is a joint project between the NCSO and Over the Edge climbing company. “We started last year, and it was such a success we brought it back a second year,” Milano said. “We contract with Over the Edge, a professional company that does this event with charities all over the country.” To enter the event, donors must raise $1,000, and accord-

but if they get in a situation, we can intervene. It’s double safety, so it’s very controlled.” Due to cold temperatures and high winds, the event took longer than expected and ran until 6 p.m. Saturday. For Kensicki, the adrenaline rush was worth every moment.

“Last year, I was more taken in by the process of rappelling and not knowing the equipment,” Kensicki said. “This year, I knew the equipment. I took a deep breath, looked around and enjoyed the scenery.”

Professors to express philosophy importance A teaching philosophy peer review will give professors a chance to critique each other. Will Brooks Staff Wrtier

Aspiring professors will get a chance to critique a crucial aspect of their portfolios in the Teaching Philosophy Peer Review put on by the graduate school Monday. Professors from the College of Education shared thoughts and ideas in regard to teaching philosophy and explained its importance. A teaching philosophy allows a teacher to find their view on education so that it can be applied in the classroom. “I make a distinction between

what it means to educate and what it means to train,” Paul F. Bitting, associate professor in the College of Education, said. Bitting explained that training is a tool used for a specific job while education is a more broad term. “[Education is] just generally connected to what it means to be a person,” Bitting said. “Education is directed towards simply making people better as people.” A person’s teaching philosophy must be consistent with their philosophy of education, according to Bitting. Gerald Ponder, associate dean of the College of Education, summed up his teaching philosophy into three main phrases: outcome-based, active-learning and value-added. “I start planning with the

sor in the College of Education, said. Beal interacts with the students by asking them to write her a letter in the third person, which allows her to learn about the students. “I try to be as flexible as possible when assignments are due,” Beal said. “If someone has a problem or is overloaded, I can take a paper late; it’s not a big deal.” Beal said understanding students is of utmost importance to her teaching philosophy. The connection between students and teachers are the foundations of education. There is no wrong teaching philosophy and it is clear that no two professors share the same exact one. A description on the Peer Review’s event page explains,

“writing your teaching philosophy is one of the most challenging tasks you will do when developing your portfolio. It is also the most important.” A teaching philosophy is a crucial factor when applying to become a professor. It will not only decide where a professor teaches, it will decide what becomes of their students. When asked if he had advice for future students, Bitting said students should find a sense of the world, what they want it to become and what their students want and apply all of these together.

Boston College’s top scoring opportunity came off forward Charlie Rugg’s blistering shot to the low right corner that was stopped by Otte’s diving save to his left. The game appeared to be headed into overtime until freshman midfielder Matt Ingram got the ball in space in the center of the offensive zone with less than four minutes left and played the ball to Kollie near the top the box. Kollie chipped it over the sprawling keeper into the goal and sealed the 2-1 victory over the Eagles. Throughout the entire game, Kollie used his speed to form scoring opportunities for State. “They weren’t that fast,“ Kollie said. “So pressuring them was key and when they made a mistake, I just got on top of it.” Ingram thought the team’s attitude boosted the its performance. “The difference between today and our previous game was our attitude,” Ingram said. “Today, we were all clicking and having fun.

The Wolfpack women’s soccer team was defeated, 2-0, by the No. 10-ranked Florida State squad on Sunday afternoon at the Seminole Soccer Complex in Tallahassee, Fla. N.C.

Senior goalkeeper Kim Kern made eight saves on the afternoon. The women’s squad continues their road play when they head to Longwood on Friday to take on the Lancers in Farmville, Va.

‘It’s never-ending’

With the return of captain Sweezy, Wolfpack’s defense still struggles with a 45-35 loss.

but the captain, who suffered a foot injury in preseason, made two tackles and one sack as a defensive end, out of normal position as tackle. As if the list could not get long enough for the Wolfpack, starting fullback and leading special teams tackler Taylor Gentry suffered an injured ankle and did not return to the field in the second half. Darryl Cato-Bishop, who is also a starter as defensive tackler, left in the third quarter with a hand injury. During pregame warmups, starting punter Wil Baumann underwent a groin strain and was unable to punt on Saturday but saw action as the holder on placekicks. O’Brien was perplexed by the situation surrounding Baumann’s addition to the injured list for the game. “He pulled a muscle in pre-game; that’s all I know,” O’Brien said. “Never [have I seen that happen before.] It’s never-ending.” O’Brien is therefore unable to evaluate the way State’s defense is playing with certain players capable of playing and others questionable from game to game. “I don’t think there’s any way you can judge where we are on defense right now,” O’Brien said. “Other than, you play at defense, you get lined up and you try to make some big plays. We made some big plays of our own, too.”

Men’s Soccer at Campbell Buies Creek, 7 p.m.

In t he f irst meeting against Georgia Tech since 2006 in Carter-Finley Stadium, N.C. State looked to keep the chains moving and hoped to slow down No. 21-ranked Yellow Jackets, despite the on-coming list of injuries for the Pack. “If we can get some other guys back and healthy, then we have a chance to play defense the way we want to,” head coach Tom O’Brien said. Defending against the leading offense in the nation did not look too promising for the State players, many of whom are currently out recovering from injuries. Missing during Saturday’s game were defensive tackle Brian Slay with an ankle injury, defensive tackle A.J. Ferguson and linebacker Terrell Manning with knee injuries, and defensive end Jeff Rieskamp with a shoulder injury. It was questionable going into the contest if senior defensive tackle J.R. Sweezy would make an appearance,

The Wolfpack hopes to rescooped up the ball off a fumble by Tech late in the fourth bound next Saturday, Oct. 8 quarter to finalize the score at hosting Central Michigan at 3:30 p.m. 45-35.

But 131 yards on first, it is the ground. Starting quarterback Mike imperative that the injured Glennon praised his offensive heal. “I think our kids fought line, who only allowed two Georgia Tech sacks on him hard, somewhere it’s going compared to allowing five to turn. We’re going to keep grinding away. We’re going against Cincinnati. “I give credit to the offensive to make this thing work,” line.

“We’re going to keep grinding away. We’re going to make this thing work.”

A 30 -minute rain delay couldn’t slow down the Wolfpack in their Friday night showdown with No. 13-ranked Boston College. Right from the start, N.C. State played with passion and energy in their 2-1 victory over the Eagles. In the ninth minute of the game against Boston College, freshman forward Zabarle Kollie intercepted a slow pass back to BC goalkeeper Justin Luthy from defenseman Stefan Carter, dribbled the ball into the box and placed it into the back of the net to take a 1-0 lead. Coach Kelly Findley thought the way the team came out of the gates and quickly took the lead set the stage for success. “[The energy] was huge, and then you come out and get that goal,” Findley said. “[The other team’s] confidence gets hurt, and we gain confidence. It is cliché to say goals change games, but they do.” Following the goal, State continued to control the tempo and possession of the game. Boston College did not get a shot on goal until nearly midway through the first half. The Eagles caught a break when State fouled an opposing player about 30 feet outside the goal 28 minutes into the game. Midfielder Kyle Bekker took the free kick for Boston College. The shot landed near the six-yard line and bounced over diving sophomore goalkeeper Fabian Otte to tie the game 1-1. After the goal, momentum swung back to the Eagles as they controlled most of the possession the remainder of the half. They did allow a three-on-one break away that was stopped from behind by Carter, resulting in a yellow card with three minutes remaining in the half. To finish the half, both teams had three shots on goal. In the second half, each tea m had solid scoring chances in attempts to claim the lead. The Wolfpack’s best chances came from quickly
