Shadrach Thornton dismissed after scooter hit-and-run Daniel Lacy Assistant Sports Editor

Senior r u n ni ng back Shadrach Thornton has been dismissed from the NC State football team after his arrest Tuesday night, the team announced Wednesday afternoon. Head coach Dave Doeren released the following statement regarding Thornton’s dismissal. “It’s an unfortunate set of circumstances, but we’ve decided to dismiss Shadrach from our program,” Doeren said. “We will continue to support him academically and help him earn his degree.” The dismissal came in light of an incident in which Thornton was driving a scooter and hit

pedestrian Jimmie Woodard at the intersection of Avent Ferry Road and Western Boulevard at about 9:15 p.m. Tuesday night. According to police, Thornton was driving north on the sidewalk of Avent Ferry Road while Woodward was walking south. Woodward did not sustain any serious injuries, but a wound on his face required stitches. Woodward said he was waiting for a bus when he was hit. “The next thing I know, I see a motor scooter coming my way, and I just got hit,” Woodard said to WRAL. “I was aware because I saw blood on my shirt.” Woodard said that Thornton did not stay to help him. However, Lee Turner, Thornton’s attorney, claims that Thornton

talked with Woodard before leaving the scene. “I understand that he was polite, cooperative and gave officers a full statement about what happened,” Turner told WRAL. “I understand that after the accident he did have a conversation with the victim before leaving the scene.” Police found 22-year-old Thornton in his nearby apartment at College Inn. He was charged with failing to stop and render aid and failure to provide information. Additionally, he got a traffic citation for driving on the sidewalk and operating an unregistered vehicle. Thornton paid a $500 bond and was released and back home just after midnight. This is the fifth time Thornton has been in trouble with the

law and/or team. In the summer of 2013, he was charged with assaulting a female after witnesses said that he engaged in a physical altercation in the D.H. Hill Library. Thornton’s prosecution ruling was deferred, and he missed one game of the 2013 season. Then, Thornton was cited twice for marijuana possession in December 2013 and March 2014. Charges were voluntarily dismissed in each case. To start out the 2015 season, Thornton was suspended for the first two games for violating team rules. After the incident occurred Tuesday night, Thornton showed up and participated in the following practice Wednesday morning. His dismissal was announced about 4:30 p.m.

that afternoon. According to sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels, the coaches did not bring up the incident during practice. “In practice, [Thornton] did a couple reps,” Samuels told WRAL. “I don’t know the full situation or what happened. Nothing was said. We saw [that] it [happened]; we just knew about it. But we didn’t know exactly what happened.” Thornton will continue his pursuit of a degree at NC State, and he is set to graduate spring 2016. In his four years with the team, Thornton tallied 513 carries for 2,572 yards and 19 touchdowns, including 30 carries for 203 yards this season.

role at the position in light of Thornton’s dismissal. On the year, Dayes has 76 carries for 454 yards and nine touchdowns. Although Thornton’s presence on the field will be missed, his latest run-in with the law was the final straw for the football team.

$2 billion bond to fund state building projects Katherine Kehoe Projects Manager

A $2 billion bond referendum cleared by the North Carolina State Legislature early Wednesday morning included funding for two building projects at NC State totaling to about $162 million. The referendum, set to be voted on in March, would allow the state to borrow $2 billion by issuing bonds. It includes funding for several projects related to higher education throughout the UNC System and at several community colleges, as well as projects dealing with parks and other types of infrastructure. The two building projects up for funding at NC State include the Engineering Oval Project and the Plant Sciences Project. Both projects plan to add new spaces for classrooms, research and collaboration for the College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, according to Chancellor Randy Woodson. Woodson said administration chose to seek funding for these projects because they have been in the university’s long-term plan for five to 10 years, but there was no room in the budget for the university to fully fund them on its own. “This was one of our highest priorities in our Master Plan, but there was just no way to get it funded.” The Engineering Oval Project, which would receive $77 million from the State, includes constructing a building between Engineering Building I and Hunt Library on Centennial Campus with new research

and education facilities for the department of civil, construction and environmental engineering and the department of industrial and systems engineering. The building would also include new space for the college’s administrative offices. This building would essentially complete the move of engineering from Central to Centennial Campus, excluding only the department of nuclear engineering, which will remain in the Burlington Labs, according to Woodson. The Plant Sciences Project is slotted to receive $85 million from the State. It includes building a space primarily for graduate student and faculty research within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The space would be interdisciplinary, bringing together scientists from all aspects of plant-based agriculture to research and collaborate with agricultural research companies located in the Triangle. While the money from the state would officially mean the university could begin construction on the new facilities, the referendum is not set to fund these projects in their entirety. The university has already raised 50 percent of the total funding for the Engineering Oval Project from privatesector donations, as well as 30 percent of the total funding for the Plant Sciences Project. If the results of the referendum’s vote in March are in favor of funding the State’s request to issue bonds, Woodson said the earliest students can expect to see construction begin is in the fall of 2016.

The NC State student chapter of Habitat for Humanity plans to raise $715,000 to build 11 townhomes for those in need.

Build-A-Block looks for funds, volunteers Brenden Parsons Staff Writer

NC State’s Habitat for Humanity chapter will begin fundraising for Build-ABlock, a year-long project that will build 11 homes for community members in need. If successful, this will be the largest partnership between a campus chapter and Habitat for Humanity. Right now, Build-A-Block is in the process of fundraising to build the homes and recruiting people who can commit and volunteer next fall, according to Melanie Rankin of Habitat for Humanity Wake County. Wake County’s Habitat for Humanity and NC State’s Habitat for Humanity are partnering to construct the homes. NC State’s Habitat for Humanity is searching for student groups, organizations or clubs that are interested in participating in Build-A-Block. Representatives from Habitat said they are eager to make partnerships with other organizations to increase involvement, especially organizations that require service hours. “You don’t need construction experience to work on a Habitat for Humanity

site,” said Mike Giancola, associate vice provost of student leadership and engagement for the Division of Academic and Student Affairs. During full construction, 75 to 100 volunteers will be needed each weekend. Construction of the townhomes will start next fall, but fundraising for construction and recruiting volunteers is beginning immediately. Construction is expected to take a year. In the fall of 2016, five homes are expected to be constructed, and another six are expected to be built the following spring. “This project will raise the discussion about adequate housing in our community,” Giancola said. There are also plans to form an events committee that will host fundraising events to inform and encourage involvement. NC State’s Habitat for Humanity Chapter President Sarah Paluskiewicz said other universities have heard about Shack-A-Thon, another Habitat effort, and started it on their own campuses. “Hopefully Build-A-Block will challenge other universities to follow our steps,” Paluskiewicz said.

Assistant Dean for Diversity and Student Services Jamila Simpson agreed. “This will set precedence [for other universities] because nothing like this has been done before,” Simpson said. “Students at NC State are really engaged in service.” Volunteers will be building homes alongside the family who will live in the townhomes, according to Melanie Rankin, a representative from Wake County’s Habitat chapter. However, due to fair housing laws, the names of the families cannot be confirmed. In fall of 2017, at the end of the build, a ceremony will be held to commemorate the service project. Those who raised more than $5,000 will be recognized, according to Rankin. Build-A-Block has been hosting information sessions every Saturday at the Talley Student Union and at every home football game at Carter-Finley Stadium to try to get students to understand its mission. College of Engineering, College of Natural Resources, College of Textiles and Caldwell Fellows have already shown an interest in supporting Build-A-Block.

Student Senate votes to add $47.50 fee for gym renovations Ashleigh Polisky Correspondent

NC State’s Student Senate voted to pass the Carmichael Addition and Renovation Fee Act, which will result in a yearly student fee of $92.50 per student — $47.50 per semester. The overall cost of the project is $44 million. The bill was voted on 34-6 in favor of passing the bill. Student Senators voted on the cheaper option ; the other option was to raise the student fee for the project to $57.50. The difference between this and the other proposed plan is that in the

new plan, there will not be a new track loop adjacent to the basketball courts. The renovation plan will add 8,000 square feet of functional training areas with a sprint ramp, 12,000 square feet of fitness space, a wellness suite, a rock wall, more personal training and small group spaces to Universit y Recreat ion. T he project will also connect the g y m and the Recreation Center to allow easier access. The biggest problem with the infrastructure now is the safety violations, according to Eric Hawkes, director of University Recreation.

There are $7.5 million worth of safety code and inaccessibility deficiencies, according to University Recreation’s website. The project will fix about $4 million of these deficiencies, Hawkes said. Some of the violations are missing fire alarm panels and sprinkler systems. There is also an issue of accessibility to the entire basement level of the gym, as it is currently only accessible through the stairs. Hawkes said the plan is to add an elevator. “As a student who has a mobility issue, not being able to get to a space that you are paying for is a prob-

lem,” Hawkes said. With the increased student fees, the renovation project will replace existing multipurpose rooms and storage spaces that are not being used efficiently. Hawkes explained that the original gym had a lot of squash courts, which are now being used as storage areas, rooms for group fitness classes or for table tennis. Jason Spivey, associate director of University Recreation, said some of the lower-level rooms end up having frequent issues with water damage and flooding, resulting in these rooms

never being used. “I know as an employee of University Recreation and someone who wants to work in the recreation field that the building is outdated and has underutilized space,” said Tyler Burton, a program assistant for Facility Operations at University Recreation. “We should want to leave NC State better than when we got here.” A t hree-hour meet ing between University Recreation, Student Government and university administration took place last week to come up with a reasonable compromise for the fee hike. Jonathan Riggs, a member

of the Student Senate, did not approve of the original project because of what it would cost students. Riggs said he believes college is already expensive enough and doesn’t need to cost more. “We’re only agreeing to support that plan on the conditions that they actively pursue fundraising options and the Student Government will be helping with the oversight,” Riggs said. Membership fees will also be raised for non-students at University Recreation to help pay for the renovations. Completion of the project is planned for the fall of 2020.

Don’t sweat it M

oving to the South for col lege f rom Colorado, I expected Logan to adjust Graham to a lot of Correspondent things. I was prepared for sweet tea to replace my water at the dinner table, to have “you guys” be transformed into “y’all” and for the mountains to be what I called hills back home. But humidit y, t he one t hing I didn’t account for when I made the move across the country, has wreaked havoc on me ever since I reached North Carolina. Stepping off the airplane just over a month ago in Raleigh, I was dressed in business casual attire for a dinner I was to attend an hour after landing. So, in my best tie and collared shirt, I stepped outside, raised my right arm to f lag down a taxi, and to my utter surprise, noticed I was sporting sweaty pit stains for the first time in my life. “It must just be my nervousness showing,” I thought to myself as I shrugged it off. I had never been more wrong. Jumping into the cab, I was hit by a wall of heat. “Sorr y, A /C’s out. But luck i ly, it’s not too hot outside today,” the cabbie noncha lant ly mentioned

to me as I jumped into his car. And so, as he happily chatted and played Elvis on the radio, perfectly content with the temperature of the cab, my unadjusted, still-thinking-it-was-inthe-cold-mountain-air-ofColorado body turned into a water fountain. Spreading outward from my armpits, my sweat slowly started encroaching the rest of my body. Five minutes in and my shirt had become so saturated with sweat it had turned a darker shade of blue. Ten minutes in I had nicknamed the cab ride the devil’s furnace as my sweat continued to f low. Fifteen minutes in and I discovered, to my utter surprise, that even my elbows and kneecaps could sweat. Finally, 20 minutes later, I exited the cab and sprinted for the nearest air-conditioned building. For the next hour before the dinner, I changed into a new dress shirt three times. Every time, I hoped the new shirt would hold up under my sweating body, but every time my hopes were cruelly cut down by the horror of humidity. And so, on my fourth and final dress shirt, I swallowed my pride and entered my first dinner on the NC State campus a sweaty mess.

In the weeks that followed, humidity continued to play cruel tricks on me as I attempted to adjust to it. My first homework assignment was ruined when I left it outside on a table. Slowly, as humidity took effect, its pages curled up, and the ink began to bleed. Again, humidity beat me when I reached for my water one night at dinner. Not yet aware that cold glasses sweat in humidity, the wet cup quickly slipped out of my unprepared hands and sent water spilling all over me. For the past month, I’ve excha nged ma ny blows w it h hu m id it y, slowly learning its ways. I’ve discovered how important it is to always carry deodorant, to never run in a dress shir t a nd t hat wearing jeans in humidity is one of the most uncomfortable mistakes you will ever make in your life. I’ve now come to accept that while I’ll never be able to deal with humidity as well as someone born in the South, I’m confident I’ ll have f ully adjusted to humidity just in time to f ly back home to the cold, dry air of Colorado on winter break and be shocked all over again.

Nice guys don’t always finish last Y

esterday, I got my inspiration for this column the same way I generally get inspiration for my columns: Twitter. This time, the latest Twitter Chauncey drama was Bowden centered Correspondent on relationships. The basic premise was that women ignored the men “sliding into their DMs” and thus were missing out on the opportunity to meet a nice or decent guy. There are several problems with this belief, but ultimately what is being said is that women should be so “grateful” for “polite” advances by men and that they should set aside any genuine feelings of attraction in order to appease, or ego stroke the male. The entire situation centered a rou nd a woma n posing with her presumed husband and child, with the caption, “I answered his DM, and look at me now.” For those who are not familiar with the term “sliding into someone’s DMs,” I will elaborate. Sliding into one’s DMs refers to messaging an individual, via social media in a direct message about your interest in engaging in some form of relationship with t hem. This relationship can be, but genera lly is

not, simply platonic. Sliding into someone’s DMs is generally also associated with “shooting your shot,” or pursuing someone who you otherwise believe to be out of your league — this is where the problem began. I watched as Tweeters, many of whom were students, engaged in a dialogue. One guy said, “That’s what’s wrong with females these days. They don’t appreciate good guys anymore.” There are several things wrong with this ideal. First of all, sending a woman a tasteful and respectful message does not make a nice guy — that should be expected of you. And if you turn into a nasty gremlin who hurls i nsu lts a f ter you are turned down, you weren’t a nice guy to begin with. I also have a problem with the term “nice guy.” What constitutes one? Where do you f ind them? Why are they so nice ? Elite Daily published an article titled “5 Scientific Reasons Why Women Just Won’t Go For The Nice Guys.” The list of reasons ra nged f rom nice guys being boring, to women loving taking on projects. The article also included a study conducted by the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy that “fo-

cused on university women and their perception of the “nice guy” stereotype.” These reasons may be the case for some women, and it definitely seems plausible that some women prefer “ bad guys” over “good guys.” But here’s the thing: Women should not be expected to entertain someone’s interests because they’re nice. Being a nice person is not enough to build a meaningful relationship with someone. There are other significant properties required to do so; such as physical attraction of some sort, or feeling comfortable with that person. Bullying people into “seeing your dating potential” is not OK, and it can have crucial effects. Up until this point, I have stated that these rules only apply when a man pursues a woman, because that is the status quo, but these rules also apply when a woman pursues a man. It seems to follow that the reason people become angry after their advances are declined is due to pride. It’s OK to shoot your shot or slide into someone’s DMs, but remember that that person doesn’t owe you anything at the end of the day.

He was a Ph.D. student studying environmental chemistry, and had recently spent his summer in Munich at some prestigious uniKatherine versity doing Waller important reStaff Columnist search. Since we were both Americans in a foreign country, I tried to engage him in conversation. We discussed our travels and eventually our areas of study. Upon hearing that I was an English major, the conversation became increasingly uncomfortable. At first he laughed when I informed him of my career aspirations, then corrected my pronunciation of “Proust” before pointedly telling me that I would not be able to understand certain scientific terms after I had insisted that he tell me about his research. It took a lot to remain polite. Maybe I’m just a magnet for these types of people, but this happens often.

It comes from previous teachers who tell me I have “so much potential” and “could do absolutely anything I want,” while

IN YOUR WORDS

they try to mask the horror on their faces when I admit my area of study. But most of all, the thinly veiled intolerance and impertinence is most loudly heard from my fellow NC State students. There is a definite hierarchy of knowledge at our university, as well in many other universities throughout the United States. It usually pits the humanities against the STEM majors, and even within specific colleges there are some deemed top and others below them. When my roommate last year decided to switch her major from chemical engineering to English creative writing, she too received a monsoon of unwelcome criticism. With the significant decline in the value placed on liberal arts education, I was very undecided coming into college. I debated probably five different majors before I ended up choosing the major that I thought would bring me the most happiness. This indecision even led me to ultimately choose to attend NC State because I like the interdisciplinary approach to education that is advertised so fervently. I believed this would allow me to explore several interests at once. When I arrived on campus, I experienced a lot of heavy-handed condescension. I felt myself shut-out from the STEM world that I remained

to be interested in. I had chosen a side, and the middle ground between the two was hard to find. I excitedly vied for articles reporting on scientific research happening on campus, and most of the time the interviewees insisted they know my major so they knew what version of their research I could keep up with. Some, I discovered, would find out I was an English major and immediately make their explanation of their research or area of study even more technical or complicated in order to make me feel inferior or intimidated. It’s quite transparent that earning potential is equated to worth, and as a woman not in a STEM field, I experience that worth placed on subjects that stress masculine values such as logic and reason while the perceived femininity is undervalued in comparison. I’ve been told before that I have the major of a “good wife.” I’ve been asked if my parents approve, and so on. College is widely viewed as a marketplace for utility, and while I agree with aspects of this, I have never fully accepted this perspective. I fundamentally disagree with anything that discourages learning. This intellectual “Mean Girls” saga I feel like I live in is alarming. The way it feels to be a nonSTEM major on campus needs to be changed for the better.

“The health care is pretty crappy. We only give some benefits to help the poor, but it’s hard to qualify for those benefits.”

“We’re average relative to other states because we’re not lacking, but we’re not the greatest, and we’re getting better. North Carolina has a growing industry in pharmaceuticals, and as such, is beginning to focus more on medicine and health care.”

“I think health care here is good since the state law requires you to have insurance. It’s a good thing to have for the state because everyone is insured. It’s easier for people to use health care provisions, and since almost everyone is insured, it would be easy to use health care provisions.”

Musical shows artistic collaboration, importance of change Katie Hughes Correspondent

Stewart Theatre opened its doors Wednesday with University Theatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof,” a reimagined version of a classic musical. The show opened with a simple musical melody, and as the lights came up from the back of the stage, the audience saw that the music came from a single man playing the fiddle. Based off the tale “Tevye’s Daughters” by Sholem Aleichem, with music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, “Fiddler on the Roof” is set in the year 1905. It centers on the beginnings of the Russian Revolutionary Period. Aeron Mobasher, a junior studying communication, plays the main char-

acter of the musical known as Tevye. “[The musical] revolves around a poor milkman named Tevye in this fictional, Russian-Jewish village called Anatevka,” Mobasher said. “Tevye desperately tries to cling to his traditions in the midst of more progressive behaviors from his three eldest daughters. Each of them becomes entangled in their own counter-cultural romantic relationships, each more drastic than the last.” Meghan Leonard, a senior studying science, technology and society with a minor in biology and theater, is the stage manager of “Fiddler on the Roof.” Leonard said this musical was chosen for this season because of its relevance to society. “The theme of this show continues to be relevant due to the constant cycle of changes in societal views and tradi-

tions,” Leonard said. “A poignant line in the show states our ‘old ways were once new,’ revealing that all ideas had to be reconciled with those that came before.” This performance is one of the first major events to be hosted in Stewart Theatre after the unveiling of the completed Talley Student Union renovations. “What I love about musical theater is that it is such a collaborative art form,” Mobasher said. “So many musicians, designers, actors and stage managers all worked on this together, and I think that we have truly created something beautiful that will really make people feel and understand a spectrum of emotions.” “Fiddler on the Roof” is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday at Stewart Theatre.

Undefeated Wolfpack looks to stay hot against Louisville Drew Nantais Assistant Sports Editor

With nonconference play over, the NC State football team gears up for its first ACC game against the Louisville Cardinals Saturday at CarterFinley Stadium. The Wolfpack (4-0, 0-0 ACC) and Cardinals (1-3, 0-1 ACC) meet each other with both programs trending in opposite directions. Following a 4-0 start, the Pack looks primed and ready for a chance to prove itself on the national stage against a quality opponent. The Cards, on the other hand, had high aspirations at the start of the season. But after narrow losses to Auburn and No. 12 Clemson coupled with a crippling home loss to Houston, the Cardinals found themselves barely treading water after three weeks of play. “Going into Louisville, they are 1-3 obviously but have lost three close games,” NC State head coach Dave Doeren said. “You remember playing them a year ago and know that the race begins as far as what happens in the [ACC].” Louisville did get back on track last week with a 45-3 thumping of Samford. Although the victory came over an FCS school, a win like that helps keep team morale from falling any lower than it already is. Freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson had a solid game, completing 15-of-22 throws for 212 yards and a touchdown. Much like the

Wolfpack, the Cardinals have a dual-threat athlete in Jackson, as he has carried the ball 47 times for 314 yards and four touchdowns this season. Along with Jackson, junior running back Brandon Radcliff anchors the Cardinals’ potent ground game. Carrying the ball 52 times for 200 yards and three scores, Radcliff has been giving opposing defenses headaches this season. The receiving corps for the Cardinals is as deep as it gets. With four receivers totaling 51 catches, 645 receiving yards and three scores, the Cardinal passing game doesn’t play second fiddle to the run game. NC State had yet another stellar outing Saturday against South Alabama. Scoring 63 points and posting 586 total yards on offense, the Pack had no trouble dispatching the Jaguars. Senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett had yet another solid performance, completing 18of-23 passes for 218 yards and two scores. Junior running back Matt Dayes also shined for the Pack after tallying 150 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. “We spread the ball around,” Doeren said. “[We had] two back with over 100 yards. We didn’t take too many shots, but the shots we took we had two good completions.” Following the dismissal of senior running back Shadrach Thornton, offensive coordinator Matt Canada should have no problem replacing him. Needing to follow a “next man

up” mentality, Dayes, sophomore fullback Jaylen Samuels and freshman running back Reggie Gallaspy II are more than capable of filling the void left by the senior back. After allowing a South Alabama touchdown to start the game, the Wolfpack defense pinned its ears back and allowed only six points the rest of the night. Aside from their opening drive, the Jaguars converted on third down twice the rest of the game and committed three turnovers. “I like the resolve of our team,” Doeren said. “To open the game the way we did, a poor drive by the defense, which is uncharacteristic because they’ve opened games really fast. Defensively, to get the takeaways is a big deal.” Although sitting at 4-0, many point out the lack of competition the Pack has faced this season. It’s one thing to beat lesser teams, but beating them without turning the ball over and playing clean games has helped the Wolfpack improve as a team. “This is a different kind of test,” Doeren said. “Our players will understand that. I think we’ll be excited to play against their football team regardless of what their record is.” Follow ing Saturday’s game, the Pack travels north to Blacksburg, Virginia for a Friday night showdown on Oct. 9 with the Virginia Tech Hokies. State returns to action at Carter-Finley Stadium Oct. 31 against the Clemson Tigers.

Pack golf sets records in Iowa Cole Bass Correspondent

The NC State golf team placed second out of 15 teams at the Golfweek Conference Challenge on Sunday at Spirit Hollow Golf Course in Burlington, Iowa. The finish was a major improvement from the team’s first tournament, the Kiawah Invitational, in which the team finished fifth out of 12 teams. The stacked field made the finish even more impressive, with defending national champions LSU finishing below the Wolfpack. Defending NCAA champion and U.S. amateur champion Bryson DeChambeau was also participating in the tournament. The Pack opened up the tournament with an astonishing round Friday afternoon, shooting a team score of 269 [-19]. The round is the best ever in Wolfpack history, and skyrocketed the team to the top of the scoreboard by 12 strokes. Four NC State players ended the day in the top 10 out of a field of 75 players, led by freshman Nolan Mills Jr. and senior David Cooke, each shooting a 66 [-6]. Junior Jacob McBride finished with a 68 [-4] and freshman Davis Richards ended with a score of 69 [-3]. The second day brought a change of momentum, and the Wolfpack was unable to match its staggering day one performance. The team shot a total score of 295 [+7] on Saturday, 26 strokes higher than the previous day. Despite the drop in play, the Pack only fell one spot in the leaderboards, trailing host Iowa by seven strokes after shooting a combined total of 564 [-12] through two days. Johnson led NC State with a 70 [-2] on Saturday and was also the only member of the team to shoot under par. All four NC State golfers that were previously sitting in the top 10 all dropped spots, with Richards and Mills Jr. leading the Pack tied at 13th. The third and final day was an improvement from the previous one, and the Wolfpack made up three strokes on Iowa to finish second in this year’s Golfweek Conference Challenge. “You come back out the last day, and now it’s a different mode,” said NC State head coach Richard Sykes. “You’re not leading, you’re chasing. And we played pretty well.

We didn’t start off well; we actually started nervously, but we finished really well.” The team accounted for the seven strokes they dropped on Saturday by shooting a team score of 281 [-7] on Sunday and combining for a three-round score of 845 [-19]. Richards led the Pack and finished in a tie for fifth overall with a score of 67 [-5], his best ever collegiate round. Richards shot a combined score of 209 [-7] in the tournament, followed by a 216 [E] from Mills Jr. and McBride. “It was a nice event,” Sykes said. “We had a chance to compete, show what we could do and found out that we have to work on a few things.” The Wolfpack is off to a great start this season, with success coming from the some of the younger members of the team. The freshman, Richards, has now recorded two top-10 finishes this year and has been a bright spark for Sykes’s team this season. Senior and team co-captain Cooke is currently in the midst of his third year on the team and talks of a balance this year that he has not seen in his previous two years. “It’s a good thing because we’ve never had a big group of guys like this,” he said. “We’ve had like seven or eight guys on the team that have already played in the lineup, or that are going to play in the lineup. It’s good to know that you have guys that you can fall back on that are going to be serious about it.” Cooke boasts an 18-hole career average of 73.37 strokes, but has not gotten off to the start he’d hoped for this season. Despite this, he remains calm and optimistic about the future of this team. “Knowing that we have guys that are going to contend in tournaments, and if I can get back to that, and Carter and Stanhope, if we can all get back to that as a group,” Cooke said. “If all five of us are playing good golf at the same time, we’re going to win tournaments. We’re going to win big tournaments.” Cooke and the Pack will be back on the course on Oct. 5 and 6 for the Wolfpack Fall Intercollegiate at Lonnie Poole Golf Course. This gives the team home course advantage, and it will be looking to capitalize on the opportunity to continue its strong start to the season.
