DATES TO REMEMBER:
The fifth annual Krispy Kreme Challenge has acquired 1,851 participants with 10 days left to register. According to Justin Carey, senior in nuclear engineering and one of the coordinators for this year’s race, the numbers at this point are slightly higher than last year’s total. “Last year we had 3,000 people total,” Carey said. “ This year our goal is to reach 5,000 registrants.” A few changes have been made for the upcoming Challenge, including a chip timing system to help monitor runner’s times, according to Carey. “We have had problems in the past with times and getting results in quickly,” Carey said. “Every runner will be given an electronic chip to put on their shoe. It will time them and show how long it takes them to run the race and how long they took at Krispy Kreme.” Cameron Cooper, a senior in textile engineering, said when he ran the race his sophomore year, it was difficult to get the timing in. The coordinators for the event said the chip system should show how fast each runner is moving more accurately. The new chip contributed to a $1 increase in the registration price, Carey said. He also said the current economic conditions have slightly bumped up all costs. Organizers are shooting to raise $30,000 to $40,000 for the

North Carolina Children’s Hospital, which will greatly offset the extra expenses for the hospital. The more exciting change, in the opinion of some registered runners, is the projected ESPN coverage. Carey said after sending out a general press release to the public, ESPN contacted the coordinators and expressed interested in shooting special footage for Sports Center. Dasha Karelov, a junior in paper science and engineering, said ESPN is great publicity for the University. “Us being doughnut eating and running kids may not be the best image, but hopefully the publicity will make more people want to come and visit the school,” she said. The doughnut eating is a major concern for Chris Blackwell, a sophomore in physics, and Rita Beard, a freshman in criminology, who are both returning to the Challenge for the second year.

President Obama reversed a rule prohibiting U.S. money from funding international family-planning clinics on Friday. These family-planning clinics promote abortion or provide counseling about abortion services. The old policy, initiated in 1984, prohibited organizations from receiving U.S. funds to discuss family-planning. Obama said he did not want abortion funding to remain a political issue as it has been for the past two decades. Obama also pledged to have a ‘fresh converstaion’ on family panning issues, working to find better solutions to meet the needs of both women and families. The decision by Obama came the day after the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, which made abortion legal during the first trimester.

Iceland’s minister resigns
Another weekend of protests in Iceland brought the resignation of the country’s commerce minister Bjorgvin Sigurdsson. The resignation and the protests are both a result of the country’s financial debacle. When he resigned, Sigurdsson said the government failed to restore the confidence lost when several of the country’s biggest banks failed, currency lost its value and the stock market plummeted. All of these occurences happened three months ago. Saturday’s protest was the biggest protest, even though the protests have been occuring since the troubles began three months ago. SOURCE: CNN

than there was to give. “We received requests for about $120,000 last semester,” she said. According to Rogers, Student Government has limits on what it can give out. “We can only match what the group is able to raise up to $2,000, and help pay for one third of the cost of trips, and one half the amount for events on campus,” she said. Having a lack of applications at this time in the process is normal, according to Rogers, but she said she is trying to discourage that behavior. “We receive 100-200 on the very last day,” she said. “When people file at the last minute, they make mistakes, and therefore, don’t receive funds,”
Elizabeth Davis, a junior in accounting, filed her application for funding early in the process. “I got an e-mail thanking me for getting it done early. It really helps them,” she said. Rogers said the problems with last semester’s appropriations process have been fixed. “We got a new system last year, and everything had to be inputted,” Rogers said. The new system was put in place to make it easier for the business office to get checks out to the groups, Rogers said. Courtney Parnell, a member of the appropriations committee and a senior in biological sciences, said last year a group actually sat in on the meeting while student government made funding decisions. “A lot of decisions are made on the final night, and it’s easier to make decisions about cutting
funding when the group is there so as to make them feel better about it,” Rogers said. Parnell said the interview process will go smoother this semester. “The interviews this year will be more spaced out to be easier for everyone,” she said. Parnell said she doesn’t think all groups will apply for funding, despite the increase in funds available. “Some don’t know about it, but it is their money. If they don’t know about it, they can’t get it,” she said. But if a group wants or needs funding, Davis said the application is easy to fill out. “It was very detailed, but filling it out isn’t too bad, [Kelli Rogers] has been very helpful,” she said.

LIFESTYLES Change the mind, change the body Psychologists are encouraging people to focus on their mental health, as this might promote better physical health. “Self talk” or “internal dialogue” can help improve a fitness routine or alter a whole exercise plan. Florida State University psychologist Gareth Dutton believes that the first step should be to understand how thoughts could undermine an exercise plan, and then challenge the negative thinking. Playing mind games by altering a seemingly negative thought to make it more positive can create a firm foundation for exercising and make the experience more enjoyable. Instead of hating everything about exercise, find a physical activity that is enjoyable such as basketball or swimming. Time management is also a factor in exercising. A bad thought would be to argue that there simply isn’t time to fit in a fitness routine. To change this to a good thought, think of fitting in 10-minute chunks of physical activity rather than 30 minutes time blocks at the gym.

STORY BY TAYLOR MCCUNE | PHOTOS BY LUIS ZAPATA

t’s round. It’s cheesy. It’s a campus favorite — but which slice is worth your money? This pseudo-Italian favorite is a huge point of contention among the Chicago deep-dish and New York style crowds. In those cities, everyone knows where the “best” pizza can be found. In North Carolina, pizza doesn’t get the same attention. There is no legendary Pizzeria Uno along Hillsborough Street, so Technician decided to make everyone’s dinner decisions a bit easier. Nine sauce-saavy tasters sacrificed their time and appetites to sample eight pizzas from near-campus
places. Among the eight are two nationwide delivery favorites, two chains that cater to college campuses, a couple locally-owned joints and two restaurant alternatives. The tasters rated each pie — or slice — on quality of cheese, sauce, crust, appearance, smell and overall
2
taste. Those ratings were averaged to calculate the pizza’s overall score, which is based on a scale of 1 to 5. Papa Johns won the blind taste test, to the surprise of most of the tasters, but as one taster put it, “blind panels don’t lie.” The three least favorite pizzas — Marco’s, PizzAmerica and DiGiorno — received similar ratings. The rating range from the worst pizza to the best was only 1.22, meaning the best pizza was only about 55 percent better than the worst. Want to know more? Here’s the breakdown, with everything the tasters had to say too.

STYLE WATCH
The Hook: Daily Deals Cost: $6.47, a Sunday special Best: Crust
The Hook: You got 30 minutes Cost: $10.23 for a small Best: Appearance
New fashions incorporate electronics
What the tasters had to say: “good balance” “not enough sauce” “tasty crust!” “everything is there except the sauce” “cheese overtakes the pizza”
What the tasters had to say: “crust was a bit soggy” “overall flavor was decent” “unfortunate aftertaste that reminded me of Chef Boyardee” “would make any Italian proud”
Bottom Line: The cheapest whole pie we ordered. The daily deals make this pizza very affordable, but skip it if you’re a big sauce-person.
Bottom Line: The 30 minute delivery time was honored, with 10 minutes to spare. A decent pizza, but Papa John’s was just a quick, and better tasting.

New garments coming out of the UK are sporting more than just threads, zippers and buttons. A new futuristic dress produced by CuteCircuit has an interesting feature sewn in amongst the silk fabric--a mobile phone. The M-Dress works with a standard SIM card so when the dress rings, the wearer simply raises their hand to their head to answer the call. Technology has been showing up in fashion in several unique ways, such as active wear with iPod controls and shoes with built-in pedometers. Two-time British Designer of the Year Hussein Chalayan has also used glowing dresses with LEDs and red lasers in his shows. Angel Chang has used thermochromic inks in her designs that change color when you touch or breathe on them and Montreal’s XS Labs incorporated a shape-memory alloy called Nitinol to design dresses that change shape while you wear them. Many designers hope that the incorporation of technology will pave the way toward mass customization of both garment sizing and the wearer’s personal preference of the technology in their clothes.

APPLE A DAY Apple juice could help delay Alzheimer’s New research found in a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease shows that apple juice helped mice perform better than normal in maze trials and prevented the decline in performance seen as the mice aged. Thomas Shea of the Center for Cellular Neurobiology and his team found that mice receiving the human equivalent of two glasses of apple juice a day for one month produced less of a small protein fragment called beta-amyloid. This protein is responsible for forming the senile plaques that are commonly found in brains of individuals suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. SOURCE: WWW.MEDICALNEWSTODAY.COM
Acupuncture could help relieve chronic headaches Two new research reviews published in the Cochrane Library suggests that people suffering from chronic headaches could find relief in acupuncture. The reviews pulled results from 32 clinical trials of using acupuncture to relieve migraine or tension-type headaches, and found that patients tended to fare better when acupuncture was added to their standard care. 47 percent of acupuncture patients said their number of headache days dropped in half while only 16 percent of non-acupuncture patients saw a drop. Research also found that acupuncture cut the frequency of tension headaches and fewer side effects. Acupuncture has been used in Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years to treat a variety of ailments by stimulating certain points of the body. Modern research suggests that acupuncture could help ease pain by altering signals among nerve cells and affecting the release of chemicals in the nervous system. SOURCE: WWW.HEALTHCENTRAL.COM

{OUR VIEW}
Remember Kay Yow, continue the fight THE ISSUE:
Coach Kay Yow was one of the most illustrious members of the Wolfpack and died Saturday of breast cancer.
OUR OPINION:
We need to remember Yow and all she did for us and use her as an example.
THE SOLUTION:
We must continue to support the causes Yow fought for and remember her life.
T
he University lost a valuable member of the Wolfpack to breast cancer Saturday. It’s difficult to think about women’s basketball coach Kay Yow’s struggle with cancer and how courageous she was without appreciating it. Yow coached 34 years at N.C. State and was a motivator and an inspiration not just to her team but to anyone who has heard her story. She was such a big representative of the Wolfpack and many admired her for being humble, although she was one of the greatest members of the University. Yow was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987 and continued to coach her team until she announced Jan. 6 that she would not be able to for the rest

of the 2009 season. To remember her legacy, people have given flowers in Yow’s honor in front of the Bell Tower. We encourage people to continue to donate flowers to her memorial and other Wolfpack memorabilia. In rememberance of her and her fight against cancer, wear pink today, which represents breast cancer awareness. Student Government is giving away pink ribbons in the Brickyard today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., so be sure to pick one up and pin it somewhere it is visible to show support of what Yow represented. Also, attend Thursday’s wom-
en’s home basketball game against North Carolina and cheer for the team Yow built. Mix the red and white you would wear and don pink instead. We also ask Carolina fans to wear pink in rememberance of Yow. Their women’s basketball team is wearing pink uniforms for its game against Maryland today, and so we ask its supporters to put aside differences and cooperate with us to remember our beloved coach. One of the biggest ways you can remember Yow is to donate to the Kay Yow/Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Cancer Fund. Hoops 4 Hope,
which is a women’s basketball game dedicated to breast cancer awareness, donates the money it collects to the fund. The event is Feb. 15, and everyone should make a special effort to make it this year. Yow is an example of how someone can prosper while going through a time of adversity. We all miss her dearly, and she will forever be remembered as one of the most inspirational members of the University. Yow was an irreplaceable, outstanding member of the University, and we encourage everyone to do everything he or she can to remember Yow as a leader of the Wolfpack.

Campus not looking at a crime wave
T
urn on the news or read a newspaper and you are bound to find a story about a local crime, possibly with speculation regarding a potential “rise” in crime. We’ve gotta feva’, and the only prescription, it seems, is more news about crime and the stuff we do to “prePaul McCauley vent” it. Senior Staff Columnist And as much as I wish I could say Christopher Walken could put on his pants one leg at a time and then fight crime with a pair of golden handcuffs, t hat ’s si mply not the case. Because we do need more c owbell, but that cowbell is not the same old strateg y we pull straight out of Law a n d O rd e r and COPS. For one, throwing the book at more offenders does not make us safer, and saying such actions do make a difference is similar to saying putting more two-year-olds in time out and giving them harsher penalties will stop the crying, tantrums and other hallmark behaviors of two-year olds. I’m sorry, but no amount of time out is going to get a little kid to stop crying, screaming and throwing a tantrum because they can’t have another Popsicle. And similarly, demanding for the police to catch more criminals and punish them more severely isn’t going to cause our crime rate to take a nosedive. Obviously, as numbers reported earlier in the year indicated, there has been a slight increase in crime on campus after a few steady years of decline. But these are misleading numbers. For one, as is and has been the case on campus for years, out of the eight index crimes — murder, rape, assault, robbery, arson, larceny, motor vehicle theft and burglary — most crime is either larceny or burglary (breaking and entering). People aren’t getting killed, raped and beaten to
within an inch of their lives — they’re forgetting to lock their cars and leaving their stuff unattended. And the increase is largely attributable to the wave of catalytic converter thefts on campus last fall, increasing the total number of crimes from 460 to 465. I hate to break it to you, but a 1.1 percent increase in crime does not make our campus as unsafe as, say, the streets of Baghdad. It’s about the same, particularly since most of the crime is likely due to people cutting parts off of cars. And a 1.1 percent increase doesn’t even come close to what criminologists call the “dark figure” of crime — the crimes that are committed but go unreported or undiscovered by law enforcement. This number could be as negligible as the 1.1 percent increase or as astronomically large as to give us reason to wonder why the hell we even have police in the first place. But realistically, it’s probably not too big and not too small — it is more like Goldilocks’ “just right” - somewhere in the middle. So instead of blaming Campus Police for this horrible new “crime wave,” we should see what we can do. We can do more to bring a stronger sense of community to the University — informal social control can prevent crime over a larger area for less, whereas increasing law enforcement presence is limited by funding. But what we shouldn’t do is spread news about a crime increase and assume it means the campus is in the grip of a crime wave. Otherwise, the only spike in crime we’ll see is in the felony of being panicked, irrational and stupid, which is far more difficult to solve.

Obama is walking into “the worst job in America” – an economy in crisis, a massive budget deficit and social inequality unseen in years. How can he possibly create millions of jobs, reform Medicare, close Guantanamo, jolt the economy to life and bury the bastion of partisanship that is Washington D.C.? Obama’s eloquence and articulacy provided us with this, “in this winter of our hardship … with hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents and endure what storms may come; let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back

nor did we falter.” If the economy could be fixed by a poetry contest, I would select Obama as my representative every time. Unfortunately, empty words solve about as much as giving up my seat on the bus to someone who struggles with their books while they text and fiddle with their iPod. Obama offered very little in the way of substantive suggestions. “The state of our economy calls for action: bold and swift. And we will act not only to create new jobs but to lay a new foundation for growth,” he said. O.K., t hat sounds fantastic. Swift, bold, growth, jobs (you’ d almost think he channels FDR).

newable energy will be spent. The problem with this stimulus package is that it lacks direction. To appease the American public, the Democrats are trying to throw almost $1 (WHAT?) dollars into the abyss – have we learned nothing from the banks? Is the package totally off the mark? No. Temporarily cutting payroll taxes will put a lot of money back in the hands of the average American consumer. Health care infrastructure has been hurting for decades, it de s perately needed to modernize (it looks like it will get several billion to do just that). Obama is standing at an incredible moment in history – the right package will put America back on the rails of economic growth, the wrong package will only serve to increase the burden of the national debt on our children, and our children’s children. (Isn’t that just our grandchildren?) Hopefully, Obama will discern wisely, for all of us, and our children’s children’s children.

Remembering Kay Yow
Embrace Yow’s spirit Looking back at the first time I ever talked with Coach Kay Yow, I should have been more intimidated. Here I was, a 21-year-old reporter for t he school paper, talking one-onone to a legend. R ig ht i n Joe Overby Deputy Sports Editor front of me Emeritus was a Hall of Famer who had won an Olympic Gold Medal for her country and would eventually win more than 700 college basketball games and have her name inscribed on the very court on which we were standing. It was my first interview with the hero who had led a hardscrabble team to the Final Four in 1998 and had made Wolfpack Nation proud with the many banners hanging in the rafters. But somehow I was at ease talking to Coach Yow that day, even though I was awestruck by her incredible accomplishments. It was almost like I was talking with a favorite aunt or a special teacher from high school. It’s because that day — and every time I interviewed her — Yow genuinely made me feel welcome. A lot of coaches don’t like talking to the media (perhaps for good reason) and often give short, surly answers. Interviews with reporters are chores to some. But not Coach Yow. After a tough loss, she was forthright and sharing when it probably wasn’t easy to be so gracious. She wouldn’t hesitate to take time out of her busy schedule to answer a reporter’s questions after practice. Even if we were just chatting about hoops on a weekday afternoon, Yow treated our conversation like it was the most important thing to her at the moment. I could have been a Sports Illustrated columnist or the Chancellor of N.C. State and she would have treated me with the same respect, and most importantly, like a friend. But that’s not what impressed me the most about Coach Yow. It was her spirit. The same spirit and fight she showed in the huddle, encouraging and instructing her team in the closing seconds of a tight game is the same courage and fire she demonstrated for the last 22 years in her battle with cancer. Yow showed selflessness and concern for her community, not only by running basketball camps for aspiring Wolfpack Women, but by reaching out to those who faced the same struggles with breast cancer as she did. Her basketball accomplishments are as numerous as they are extraordinary, but the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund — and OVERBY continued page 8
“Wow, it’s hard to imagine coaching 1,000 games, but that does mean I have been in it for a long time. It is very special to have coached so many games and to have been blessed to do so.”
“There have been so many great coaches and great players who have played in this arena and I just hope that with the court named after me that I would represent them in a classy way. I always wanted to add a little something to Reynolds. I think of her as a grand old lady and one of my best buddies.”

“I’m pretty grateful that I am a part of it. But I am definitely not the part. I would say it i s real exciting to be a part of so many great wins with all the people I have been associated with. I attribute it so much more to my staff and my players than to me. All of these milestones and accomplishments go to all of them.”
“I want a team and program that are worthy of respect,” Yow said shortly after she was hired by former NC State athletics director Willis Casey on July 1, 1975, to be the state of North Carolina’s first full-time coordinator for women’s athletics. “If we can have a team that the students can have pride in — and these students recognize when you have a good team — then we can gain their support.”
“I don’t say this to be trite, [because] I mean this from the bottom of my heart, but when a milestone comes, when the games are won, for the life of me I can’t understand why it would be attributed to me. I am just one person on all the teams. I realize I might be the one person who is the same on every team, but of course we couldn’t do it, I wouldn’t even be a part of it, if it weren’t for everybody else.”
“If you leave this world, the key thing is to have made a difference,” Yow said a few years ago, after reaching one of her many career milestones. “That’s been the great thing for me. That is what I feel I have been here for.”
University loses icon COACH KAY YOW, A LEGEND OF WOMEN’S BASKETBALL, DIED SATURDAY MORNING STORY BY TAYLOR AUTEN | ILLSTRATION BY LUIS ZAPATA Women’s basketball coach Kay Yow, the iconic matriarch of N.C. State women’s sports and a leader in the fight against cancer, died Saturday morning at WakeMed Cary Hospital. She was 66. Yow, who was in her 38th year of coaching at the collegiate level, will be remembered not only for her work advancing the game of women’s basketball but also for her heroic struggle against breast cancer and her efforts to raise funds for research to stop the disease. In an official statement, Athletics Director Lee Fowler expressed his sorrow at the loss of coach Yow. “Everyone who had the privilege of knowing Kay Yow has a heavy heart today,” Fowler said. “Her record and the honors she has received over the years are evidence of her abilities as a coach,

State, and her all-time collegiate record of 737-344 makes her one of just six coaches to earn more than 700 victories. Yow, along with Tennessee coach Pat Summit and Texas coach Jody Condradt, is one of just three coaches to coach 1,000 games with the same program. Yow hired Nora Lynn Finch, the ACC’s associate commissioner for women’s basketball, in 1977 after they had been good friends and even roommates when Finch was the athletics director and women’s basketball coach at Peace College. In an interview this summer, Finch said Yow played a critical role in the development of women’s sports in the ACC and across the nation. YOW continued page 7

She was a jewel of a person, an outstanding coach, but more than anything a dear friend. She always represented herself and NC State with tremendous honor, grace and style, and her presence and competitive spirit will be greatly missed in the ACC.

Remembering Kay Yow
Students honor, remember life and legacy of coach Yow WANT TO SUPPORT THE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM?
Daniel Ellis Deputy Sports Editor
Students continue to mourn the death of one of the most influential coaches of all time, honoring her through memorial gatherings, support letters and public appreciation. “She was a big influence in the community and a huge part of the school,” Nick Zinser, a senior in civil engineering, said. Shortly after Yow’s death was announced, students rallied to organize a day of remembrance to pay tribute to the coach’s long battle with breast cancer. Pink, an awareness color representing the fight against breast cancer, will be the color of choice for many students today. “Yow symbolized N.C. State through her strength and commitment,” Lauren Morris, a junior in biochemistry, said. “I expect I expect a good number of students to be wearing pink tomorrow, [reflecting her] level of dedication.”
The Wolfpack women host Boston College in Reynolds Coliseum on Kay Yow court Thursday at 7 p.m. Students are encouraged to come out in large numbers and show and remember Yow by wearing pink to the game. Admission is free to all home women’s basketball games. SOURCE: N.C. STATE ATHLETICS
In addition, students have shown their support for the late coach by placing flowers and gifts at the Bell Tower. The U.S. Secret Service prohibited drop-offs at Reynolds Coliseum in order to maintain a secure environment for former president Bill Clinton’s visit. Student government leaders will also be passing out pink ribbons in the brickyard today from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. “There’s a lot of support for the fight against breast cancer,” Zinser said. “Yow was just so instrumental in getting the community in-
volved.” Matt Benson, president of the Student Wolfpack Club, said the group will discuss various ways to pay homage to Yow’s many contributions to the Wolfpack community. “If we have the game on Thursday we would really want to have a pink out there and we might want to have one at the men’s game as well,” Benson said. Aside for group efforts, Benson noted that students have begun taking individual initiatives to show support for the coach. “People within the club have been designing visuals and doing other things, but I really thought this kind of caught some students off guard because they weren’t really sure of the severity of her illness when she stepped down from coaching this year,” he said Yow’s tireless contributions will continue to reverberate throughout the hardwood floors of Reynolds for years to come. “She was such a revered person on campus,” Benson said. “This has hit everyone so hard.”

the lives she touched — will be her lasting legacy. Like everyone else who has been inspired by her, I’m going to miss Coach Yow terribly. But her memory will live on with the youth basketball groups who will continue to cheer their lungs out at Reynolds for her team. Coach Yow will be a guardian angel for the countless people battling cancer, who fight one more day because of the courage she gave them. And for me, personally, I’ll be eternally grateful for the day I met this true Wolfpack hero.

After the match, Little described how good it felt to play such a large role in the team’s victory, especially after a disappointing loss in his match earlier in the day to Maryland’s Steven Bell, who is ranked No. 8 nationally and who also defeated Little in the finals of last year’s ACC tournament. “I just wanted to redeem myself for the team because if I would have won earlier we also would have beat Maryland, so I felt like I owed the team,” Little said. “It felt good, because I knew what I to do for the team, [and that] if I didn’t win, we would have come to the same conclusion as we did in the last couple of matches.” After an 8-0 major decision by senior 141-pounder Joe Caramanica, who is ranked No. 15 nationally, the match came down to the 149-pound bout between Caldwell and Kyle O’Neill of Navy. Trailing 18-14, the team needed a tech fall or pin by Caldwell, and he wasted little time, recording a pin at 1:35. It was the 15th first period pin of the season for Caldwell, and it pushed his undefeated record to 28-0.

Head Coach Carter Jordan instructs senior Mark Jahad during his match Saturday against Navy’s Casey Caldwell. Jahad lost his match 2-6, but Jordan helped lead the team to a 20-18 victory over the Midshipmen, improving the team’s record to 4-8-1 on the season.
Caldwell talked after the match about how thoroughly he enjoyed wrestling with the outcome of the match riding on his performance. “It really wasn’t any pressure, it’s just another wrestling match, it’s what I do,” Caldwell said. “Being able to get it for my team, actually win a match for my team, [and to be able to] do what I do by pinning, it made me want it even more, so I knew I had to get it - it was on me.” Caldwell’s pin and the team’s subsequent 20-18 triumph left Coach Jordan extremely proud of his team, and he described
his admiration for his team’s resiliency and the pleasure it gave him to see his wrestler’s hard work pay off. “If they’ve learned one thing this year, it’s to not give up, and I was so proud of our guys [tonight],” Jordan said. “I’m really happy for the kids, because they have been doing a great job.”

According to Weinacker, it’s good for the team to get used to being in these situations. “We’re going to have tight matches like this all year long,” Weinacker said. “We had two this weekend and its only going to get tougher as we get closer to ACC matches.” Choboy agreed the close matches will be beneficial in the long run and that they will provide additional experience for the team. “It is really good for us to be in these situations, in the close matches,” Choboy said. “There are some things we need to work on for sure but I’m pretty happy with the team overall.”

Late surge leads Pack past Navy WRESTLING TEAM ERASES 12-POINT DEFICIT IN 20-18 COMEBACK VICTORY Tyler Everett Staff Writer
The wrestling team bounced back from a loss to Maryland earlier in the day Saturday with its first dual victory since Jan. 3rd and first against Navy since 1998 Saturday night in Reynolds Coliseum. According to coach Carter Jordan, the team wrestled well in both matches Saturday, and its effort Saturday night paid off in the form of a thrilling comeback victory over the Midshipmen. “While we were very disappointed that we lost the first dual, we wrestled like heroes,� Jordan said Saturday. “We also wrestled hard tonight.� Early on, it looked like yet another loss was on the horizon for the Wolfpack, as they trailed by a score of 18-6 after dropping three consecutive matches in the 184, 197, and heavyweight divisions. Fortunately for the Pack, the tremendous responsibility of having to win the final three matches fell to the heart of the team’s lineup. Junior 149-pounder Darrion Caldwell, ranked No. 3 nationally, described the team’s strengths at the remaining weight classes. “The bulk of our lineup is in the

Men’s tennis team beats Old Dominion Sunday after disappointing loss to Louisville Friday Staff Writer
The men’s tennis team struggled though some tough competition this weekend to go 1-1 against Louisville on Friday and Old Dominion University on Sunday at the J. W. Isenhour Tennis Complex. According to senior Jay Weinacker, State’s 3-4 loss to Louisville was very disappointing due to Louisville’s lack of sportsmanship. “We were really upset from Friday’s loss,� Weinacker said Sunday. “Those guys weren’t the greatest guys ever— not very nice on the court and not very considerate. It’s hard to lose to that type of team but we came out today and used it to not let it happen again.�

The men’s basketball team fell to 1-4 in conference and 10-7 overall after falling to Boston College 79-68 Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. In the second half, N.C. State scored 16 unanswered points to close the gap to three, but a subsequent strong 3-point shooting effort ultimately allowed the Eagles to take control. State missed four of five free throws during their scoring run. McCauley dished in six points during the streak and totaled 15 points and six rebounds on the night. BC forward Corey Raji put home a forceful fast-break dunk with one minute left in the game to secure the victory. Throughout the game, the Wolfpack had difficulty controlling the boards, allowing 22 offensive rebounds, most of which
were pulled in by the Eagles’ Raji and Josh Southern. Tyrese Rice almost singlehandedly dealt State defeat, scoring 25 points on 8-of-13 shooting. BC also outrebounded State 46-25, which proved crucial late in the first half as the Pack struggled to knock down open 3-pointers and close range jump shots. BC broke their home ACC losing streak of five games dating back to last year’s Valentine’s Day victory against the Pack. Meanwhile, State continues to struggle on the road, having dropped eight straight league games dating back to Jan. 26, 2008. State did manage limit it turnovers, only committing 10 the entire game, significantly less than its usual amount. After learning of coach Kay Yow’s death earlier in the day, both teams honored her with a moment of silence prior to tipoff. Tipoff for State’s game against Miami is slated for 7 p.m. Tuesday in the RBC Center.
