Knightdale armed robber shot and arrested
NEWS
Tevin Cameron Horton was arrested following a robbery and a shooting late Saturday night into early Sunday morning. The 21-yearold first attempted to rob the N&A Food Mart on South First Avenue by pointing his revolver at the lone store clerk. The clerk tried to retreat to a safe area but was followed by the suspect; he then produced his own gun and shot Horton in the lower back. Horton then left and was later found with the gunshot wound in response to report of another shooting on Delta River Way.

Chemical attack in Syria leaves several dead In a suburb of Damascus on Saturday night, at least 42 people, including men, women and children, have suffocated as a result of a suspected chemical weapons attack. Many believe that the Syrian government is to blame for this attack because the Islamist rebel group, the Army of Islam, is found in the city where the attack happened, which is the last city controlled by the rebels in the area. President Trump claims that Russia and Iran are to blame because of their support of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month calls for action, prevention and healing Katy Chappell Correspondent
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM), and the Women’s Center is busy with events and workshops for the NC State community to participate in. Sara Forcella, the rape prevention and education coordinator in the Women’s Center, chaired the planning committee for this year’s SAAM. Forcella summed up the purpose of the month through the national theme, ‘embrace your voice.’ “The purpose of SAAM is to really raise awareness of sexual assault being something that occurs every day and that occurs to people regardless of gender identity or race or sexuality, class, any kind of identity that you might hold,” Forcella said. Lila Crick, a second-year studying aerospace engineering, is vice president of the Movement Peer Educators that contribute to the planning of SAAM. Crick elaborated on the intentions of the event within the community. “Prevention is something we are aiming for,” Crick said. “We want people to understand how they can prevent [sexual assault] which is why we have workshops where we teach people what they can do about it. [Sexual assault] is going to happen, but you can do a little to prevent that by instilling positive characteristics in people, especially when they’re young.” Crick is pleased that the previously week-long event has developed into a national month-long event. “I think it’s important that we dedicate a whole month to this problem because there are different facets to it,” Crick said. “It’s important that we don’t just spend a day or a week on it.” Josie Cranfill, a first-year studying polymer and color chemistry, is a member of Period at NC State, a group dedicated to empowering women. Cranfill believes in the importance of understanding the healing process for survivors. “We’re becoming much better at recognizing the mental impacts that [sexual assault] can have,” Cranfill said. “People that have been assaulted tend to neglect their physical health after that, and having Sexual Assault Awareness Month is so critically important in helping people that have been assaulted in keeping up their physical health as well as their men-

tal health.” Cranfill also hopes that SAAM on college campuses brings attention to issues taking place specifically at college campuses. “It brings more awareness, not just to women’s organizations, but having Sexual Assault Awareness Month brings it to the larger campus, particularly groups where sexual assault has been an issue like Greek life at NC State,” Cranfill says. The Clothesline Project was the kickoff event of SAAM. The purpose of the project is to raise awareness about sexual violence. The four campus community centers have T-shirts displayed with the words of primary and secondary survivors of sexual violence. “Each color [shirt] represents a different form of violence,” Forcella said. “White is someone creating a T-shirt for someone that has passed away due to violence. Gray is for stalking. Pink is sexual assault. Light blue is childhood sexual assault. They all represent different things. It’s a
way for folks to be able to come and kind of process through their healing and experience.” Some of the words and images on the shirts created are explicit. There have been discussions of whether displaying the shirts is appropriate, but Forcella emphasizes the importance of having the project on display. “It could be potentially a part of a healing process for a survivor to create that T-shirt,” Forcella said. “It raises awareness for our campus community. There should be some level of discomfort with our campus community to know that our fellow Wolfpack members have dealt with this. We don’t want anyone to be triggered by it, but we also see a need for it.” One event that the Women’s Center is excited to host is its keynote speaker, Pierre Berastain. Berastain will be speaking on the evening of April 17 in Talley 4140 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. “[Berastain] identifies as a survivor and undocumented immigrant who is a
DACA recipient,” Forcella said. “He is going to talk about the intersections of being undocumented, being a survivor, being someone that identifies as male and someone that identifies as LGBTQ and how all those intersections impact a survivor’s ability to report, and a survivor’s healing process. I think he’s going to touch on a lot of different parts of sexual violence that we don’t always think about.” Another event focusing on intersectional aspects of sexual assault is the Supporting Male Survivors discussion that will take place in the Women’s Center on April 19 from 5 to 6:30 p.m. This event will begin with a documentary that is followed by discussion. “[The event] is looking at how to support our male survivors that don’t always feel like they have a voice in the movement of sexual violence prevention and awareness,” Forcella said. “It also will talk about how masculinity has shaped the narrative for men who are childhood survivors or adult survivors of sexual violence.”

Gregg recieves Gold sustainability award Marco Valencia Correspondent
The Gregg Museum of Art and Design recently earned LEED certification to the Gold Level for the new gallery wing designed by Perkins + Will, marking the third university building to receive the certification. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, and is a popular green building certification program used worldwide. The program aims to help buildings and building owners to be environmentally conscious and responsible. There have been 13 LEED-certified projects on NC State’s campus since 2011. The Gregg Museum is an NC Stateowned and -operated art and design museum which is located on Hillsborough Street. The museum building was originally in the chancellor’s residence, but, with the construction of Centennial Campus, was moved to a new location. The Gregg Museum then moved from Talley Student Union, to the 15,850-square-foot location it is seen in today. Roger Manley, the director of the Gregg Museum of Art and Design, is proud of the achievement. “We are delighted for the architects and for NC State University that the Gregg Museum’s new galleries addition has achieved this status,” Manley said. “It’s something they really deserve to be proud of.” The building has a significantly smaller environmental footprint, with sustainable measures taken in almost every aspect. The design of the building reduces energy costs by 28 percent, and is regularly measured. The air conditioning systems are low mercury producing and utilizes a reflective roof that reduces heat absorption from the sun so that it is naturally cooling. Water is reduced by 22 percent through implementation of efficient plumbing and other fixtures. The exterior landscaping also uses water efficient plants to further reduce water consumption by 52 percent. Parking for low-emitting and fuel-efficient vehicles are an option as well as busing and cycling to the museum as there is a bus stop en route. A majority of the building itself used materials from a responsibly managed forest, all within 500 miles of the site. The building used an estimated 25 percent recycled and sustainable building materials with 63 percent of waste diverted from the landfills using forms of recycling and reusing.
BRANDON LANG/TECHNICIAN
The completed renovation of the old chancellor’s residence and its new extension serve as the new freestanding site of the Gregg Museum of Art and Design. The museum features a collection of over 35,000 objects, as well as three viewing galleries that will have rotating shows throughout the year.
Cameron Smith, the senior director of Capital Project Management at the NC State Facilities Division, emphasized how committed NC State is to sustainable building and practices. “NC State is committed to achieving a minimum of LEED Silver certification on all new buildings and major renovations greater than 20,000 gross square feet,” said Smith. “The Gregg Museum project surpassed the goal and actually achieved a Gold certification.” Smith also answered why students should be knowledgeable about the honor and how it affects the student body as a whole. “Students spend a fair amount of their time living, studying and working in campus facilities, and the University is committed to building and renovating more sustainable, efficient and healthy buildings in an effort to enhance the physical environment where students learn every day,” said Smith. “LEED is a tool to help us ensure we are building facilities that are safe, comfortable and save the University money through sustainable design and construction.” Students have taken note and are excited about the award as well. Abigail Farlow, a second-year studying industrial design, was glad to hear of the news of the certification. “I am happy to hear that the museum is so efficient and environmentally friendly,” said Farlow. “I am proud of NC State committing themselves to becoming more sustainable learning environment.”

No Gay? No Way! is way off about Raleigh On March 9-18, Raleigh leaders were in Austin, Texas, for South by Southwest, an annual event focusing on professional and creative growth. Specifically, our own Nancy McJoseph Rivenbark Farlane was there as mayor of one of the last 20 cities Staff Columnist left on Amazon’s shortlist for its second headquarters. She participated in a panel discussing the costs and benefits of HQ2 for Raleigh. The panel, however, was met with some conflicting opinions after activists from the No Gay? No Way! campaign distributed materials outside the hotel where McFarlane was participating in the panel. The campaign is a response to Amazon looking for a second headquarters and aims to discourage the company from selecting any location that is in a state which the activists view as lacking adequate protection against discrimination for the LGBT community. They have targeted nine states — the locations of 11 of the final 20 cities for HQ2 — as discriminating against LGBT people, including Raleigh. Although I personally admire the activists’ central idea of decreasing discrimination, I hardly think that Raleigh should be on their hit list. Raleigh is an accepting city, and North Carolina as a whole has
been moving in a more progressive direction recently. Despite the best of intentions, No Gay? No Way! is way off the mark for attempting to punish a group of goodwilled individuals for the past actions of less open-minded people. Their argument that Amazon should not consider Raleigh for HQ2 has two big holes: Amazon is looking for a city, not a state, and the activists have an outdated and inaccurate view of what North Carolina as a whole currently stands for. We are no longer the state defined by House Bill 2. The company is selecting its second headquarters based on the qualifications of the city, including factors that are not purely economic, such as the potential reception of Amazon by the general public. But when Conor Gaughan, a spokesman for No Gay? No Way!, said in an interview with the News and Observer, “For us the message is fairly simple. We think that Amazon should consider state laws that discriminate in their criteria.” He failed to recognize the importance of a city’s views compared to a state’s. I agree, of course, laws of the location selected have to be considered, but the idea that these laws must be state laws is shortsighted. This is especially true when considering Raleigh’s independent ordinance that opposes “any discrimination based on actual or perceived age, mental or physical
disability, sex, religion, race, color, sexual orientation.” No Gay? No Way! is likely focusing on the fact that North Carolina has a past of discriminatory policies like House Bill 2, but under Mayor McFarlane, Raleigh has always strived to maintain an independent view on the matter. A study by Public Religion Research Institute found that 71 percent of residents in Charlotte and the Raleigh-Durham area favor LGBT nondiscrimination laws, roughly 10 percent more than other parts of North Carolina. This open-mindedness is seen throughout the city. With past marches supporting LGBT causes, the city has a vocal population that supports a diverse community. Beyond that, a welcoming environment is evident at our own university, through organizations like the GLBT center. In short, Raleigh’s neighbors may be intolerant, but our city is welcoming, and there’s no reason to punish an accepting city. The second reason for why No Gay? No Way! has missed the mark with Raleigh is that North Carolina as a whole has become drastically more progressive recently. If organizations like No Gay? No Way! protest our laws while they are moving in the right direction, it could be harmful to the process of change.
Just as recently as Jan. 25, Todd Rosendahl, a leader of Equality NC — North Carolina’s oldest LGBTQ equality organization — was appointed to North Carolina Youth Advisory Council. This decision was applauded by Equality NC. Ironically, this is evidence which I found through a link on No Gay? No Way!’s own website; the page lists the most recent LGBTQ news for the 9 opposed states. When the organization’s own site betrays its cause, it’s evident that it must have a weak argument to begin with. North Carolina’s history of LGBTQ rights is tainted by HB2. Perhaps for a large part of the country, that’s still what this state is about. But North Carolina voted out Pat McCrory, the man who had become the face of HB2, in 2016. And North Carolina elected Roy Cooper, who has done his best to repeal the bill. North Carolina is making progress as of right now; if that isn’t noticed or, worse, is punished instead, it just might burn out. I’ve lived in Raleigh my whole life, so I have a strong emotional attachment to this city, for its greatness and for its flaws. I know just as well as anyone that there are valid criticisms of Raleigh. But to say that we are not tolerant, to say that we discriminate and to say that we don’t protect the individuals who live here, no matter who they are, not only goes against the facts, it goes against the culture of this great city.

so that students like myself — who are going into their final semester and still want to be considered full-time students — can take classes that are perhaps less intellectually straining and time-consuming outside the classroom, while also taking the higher-level requirements of their degree. A credit hour is “one hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week.” So a class that meets for three hours a week is worth three credit hours. However, a physical activity course like HEST 216 Soccer, which meets for almost four hours a week, is only worth one credit hour. In a country where the vast majority of adults are overweight or obese, universities should encourage students to be more active,
setting a precedent for later in life. An estimated 160 million Americans, three-quarters of men and 60 percent of women, are overweight in some capacity despite the numerous attempts to combat the obesity epidemic in America. Being overweight or obese is a risk factor for many health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, joint problems and gallstones. Regular exercise has been proven to help to control weight, combat these health conditions, improve mood and promote better sleep. This isn’t the America that Michelle Obama wanted. In fact, NC State was one of the first colleges to sign on to her Healthier Campus Initiative, implementing all 23 guidelines by 2015 and becoming the first campus to do so.
Some of the ways NC State implemented these guidelines were by providing free water at all dining, recreational and educational facilities, holding more than 150 group fitness classes each week, and combating food insecurity in the community through the Feed the Pack Pantry. We should take the next step past nutrition to encouraging healthy options on campus. New undergraduates entering college are exposed to so many new experiences in their first few years into adulthood whether those experiences are academic or social. Exercise should be one of them, and adding on credit hours to health courses allows them to compete with three-hour courses for a student’s time.
Why PE courses should be more than one credit hour
Correspondent
As I was looking over potential classes for next semester, I started looking into archery, something I’m fascinated by and always wanted to learn. But my aspirations were dissuaded as I saw that it was only worth one credit hour, along with many other health courses. All students should take advantage of the resources we have on campus, like Carmichael Gymnasium, a wonderful facility with many recreation spaces. But many students don’t utilize these spaces because of the lack of incentives to take any more than the required amount of physical education courses. I argue that health and fitness courses should be worth more than one credit hour

Vitamin D: Don’t wait until it’s too late I d id n’t see a v ita min D def iciency coming. I’m only 19 years old, and I’m living in quite a medically advanced age, or Shivani so I t houg ht. A Shirolkar couple of days ago, Staff Columnist I found out that a blood test of mine revealed that my vitamin D levels had sharply declined. Though I was relieved that I was facing a fairly minor problem, it wasn’t something I was expecting. After receiving my lab results, some quick research told me that a vitamin D deficiency was a lot more common than I had originally thought — it affects 40 to 75 percent of the general population. It was difficult for me to even recognize the symptoms of a vitamin D deficiency, as they can be quite subtle. Chronic weakness, low bone density and depressed moods are common signs of not getting enough of it. Oftentimes, unrelated symptoms may show up, so a doctor’s diagnosis is the best judge of what is going on. Having lived most of my life in India, where direct sunlight is readily available, I managed to get an adequate dose of vitamin D every day. Raleigh, in contrast, is less exposed to direct sunlight and is also too cold during winter to step outdoors. Being darkskinned also increases the chance of becoming deficient in vitamin D, due to higher levels of melanin blocking ultraviolet light. More than 90 percent of one’s daily re-
quirements usually come from the sun, so it’s essential to rely on diet and supplements to make up for these shortcomings. I now realize that my dietary choices as a college student could have also contributed in causing this. With classes being scattered throughout the day and homework demanding attention, it’s difficult to prioritize healthy eating habits. For tu nately, NC State Dining provides nutrition guides for health and wellness on campus and offers guidance to stay healthy. Furthermore, the WellFed Wolfpack program presents students with nutrition updates and fitness tips. Their team of dietitians can help in giving advice as to how to incorporate a healthy amount of vitamin D in a meal plan. According to an earlier Technician article, Alli Nickell, then-vice president of the Nutrition Club at NC State, stated that vitamin D is among the most important vitamin supplements offered in drugstores. It helps build stronger bones, improves immunity and has been linked to preventing some kinds of cancer. Sarah Ash, a professor in the Department of Food, Bioprocess and Nutrition Sciences, explained that vitamin D is a hormone, unlike the other vitamin groups, and its main role is to maintain blood calcium levels, which translates to stronger bones. Lower levels of vitamin D have also been linked to depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder, a mood disorder occurring dur-
ing winter, when there is relatively less sunshine. Due to its biochemical effects on the brain, the lack of it can cause other mental health issues like panic disorder and insomnia. As chronic weakness is a less noticeable symptom of a vitamin D deficiency, it has the potential to keep hindering learning productivity in college. It struck me that I ought to be taking the lack of vitamin D in my system more seriously, since these factors are sure to relate to academic performance and the general state of well-being. Dairy products, breads and cereals are great sources of vitamin D to rely on during the colder months. It’s def initely a good idea to take advantage of pleasant sunny days when we have them, though too much sunlight can cause skin cancer. In addition to these sources, vitamin supplements are an easier option that give you the exact daily recommended values. Looking back, I see that I didn’t care much about whether I was getting the nutrition I needed. Though I prefer being indoors for the most part, as I now understand the importance of healthy levels of vitamin D, I realize that needs to change. College students should consciously put in effort to include food components that are high in vitamin D, and other nutrients as well, in their daily diet. It’s easier to keep your amounts healthy now than to have them crash in the future and face the consequences.

Even if they’re only worth one credit, there are so many interesting Health and Exercise classes offered to students at NC State, including but not limited to archery, swimming, rock climbing and even ballet. Consider taking a walking class next semester to counterbalance the three lectures you have to take.
As the Healthier Campus Initiative says, “Going off to college signals a time of newfound independence for young adults, who are suddenly able to make all of their own choices. The habits they form during these years — including what they eat and how much physical activity they get — can last a lifetime.”

Increasing credit for fitness courses would be great step, yet exercise shouldn’t be limited to the degree audit; NC State has various spaces and resources for physical recreation.

Planned Parenthood Generation Action: facilitating conversation about sexual health Emma Berg Contributor
Activism and education are the words that come to mind when describing one of NC State’s newest clubs, Planned Parenthood Generation Action. Their work focuses on pro-abortion rights activism, sexual health information and educating people about their resources. They have been building membership and working with other on-campus groups since the start of the semester. Emily Walter, a fourth-year studying political science, and Karsin Williard, also a fourth-year studying political science, started the club due to their passion for working with Planned Parenthood. Walter is president of Planned Parenthood Generation Action and Williard is vice president. “This semester, our goal was to build our member base and our overarching goal is to get more and more people involved and learn about Planned Parenthood and the ways we can advocate for sexual health and be pro-justice on campus,” Walter said. Walter works for Planned Parenthood, which helped inspire her to start an oncampus club dedicated to their mission. “I intern for Planned Parenthood as a side job and we talked about how we wanted to extend our arm further to college campuses in the area,” Walter said. “We wanted to start that movement here.” Planned Parenthood Generation Action is a national club with over 300 branches. At NC State specifically, Walter and Williard have worked hard to get involved and start making a difference. “It’s important to highlight that we care about so many issues,” Williard said. “Obviously we care about what the core of Planned Parenthood is, but we also care about, support and try to reach out to groups on campus for a multitude of issues.” Some of these events included a postermaking party in order to stand up against any anti-abortion protesters on campus. They also work alongside various student organizations such as with Alpha Kappa Alpha’s Girl KOde event or the Menstrual Education Needed! event. For Girl KOde, they brought supplies and helped facilitate conversation about self-care, relationships and mental health. At Menstrual Education Needed! they worked with North Carolina Public Interest Research Group, We Bleed Red, American Justice Corps, PERIOD and

The symposium took place in Talley Student Union on April 2, 2018.
Delta Upsilon Fraternity. “We were on a panel, and we talked about how important menstrual education and menstrual activism is for women,” Williard said. “Specifically through the lens of homelessness.” Another area of importance for the club is tabling and providing accurate information on reproductive health and safety. They get their resources such as pamphlets and swag from their Planned Parenthood affiliate. “I think there’s a lot of different misconceptions about reproductive health and part of what we’ve been doing is just tabling and talking to people about it,” Williard said. “We want people to come up to us with questions about reproductive health and access.” Walter and Williard created what some might say is a controversial club during a time of extreme polarization. They are working to create change in the political process. “Definitely being in the South and being in a time where we have a GOP-dominated
president and legislature on the federal and state level effects how much activism we do because we need to do it more and we need to do it for more issues,” Walter said. “I think that the main thing we focus on beyond just campus groups and Planned Parenthood in general in N.C. is to flip the state house because we know that’s the easiest tactic that we have to put officials into office that back up pro-choice policies and pro-justice policies.” The pair said they hope that the club will get students involved in politics and make them pay more attention to policy. “Being able to build a youth power movement can create power that can be transferred into the political process and encourage people to vote in the local, state and national elections because elected officials make these policies that decide who gets access to what,” Walter said. Williard said that students have reacted well to their presence on campus and seem to be empowered to get involved by the current political climate. “I think geographically we need people,
especially young people, that are passionate about reproductive health, social justice and public policy,” Williard said. “Planned Parenthood is such a strong national brand that having representation on campus is a good way to reach out and get people involved.” Both Walter and Williard are graduating this spring and are working hard to make sure the club lasts post-graduation. They encourage anyone interested to attend meetings and even apply for a position in the club. “If you think you want to be involved in activism around healthcare you should definitely come to our meetings,” Walter said. The next general meeting will be Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Talley 4280. Their next event is called “FemiWIN Hygiene” and is in collaboration with the Muslim Student Association, with a presentation from Student Health on women’s health, a question and answer session and group discussion. It will be in Withers 140 on April 17 at 6:30 p.m.

On-campus group encourages students to give back to NC State Emily Hench Correspondent
ent at a table at this year’s Grad Fair to encourage fourth-years to give a gift of $20.18, representative of the year in which they will graduated. Between events, Students for University Advancement has also been working to gather new members from across the student body. “At this point, we’ve gotten some students through word of mouth, but also with working with the Annual Giving officers has identified some students who kind of fit what we’re looking for,” Mulligan said. Organization members have been working to make themselves and their goals more well-known across campus. “For this semester, we’ve been trying to spread information about ourselves,” Parker said. “We’re always open to talk about Students for University Advancement, and we always welcome for others to come and help us.” The group, while making themselves more visible, also hope to encourage students to contribute to not only the university, but also to other student organizations across campus. “I’d love to see some more visibility on campus for the group, and just partnering with other organizations on campus,” Mulligan said. “What a lot of students don’t know is that you can give to a lot of the student organizations, so I think just being able to share that message with other organizations is something I’d love to see.” For more information on the group’s plans and future events, contact Kara Mulligan at klmullig@ncsu.edu.
Students for University Advancement is an organization at NC State with a mission to inform students about the importance of giving back to the community. The group was founded earlier this semester. “This organization is focused on educating students about the philanthropic impact students can have on the university,” said Kara Mulligan, the assistant director of the NC State Annual Fund and the group’s advisor. “Giving back to your university is so important as a student, but also when you become an alumni.” Caleb Parker, a third-year studying sociology and the group’s president, is also an advocate for giving back to the university, particularly as alumni. “We’re trying to promote and educate students about annual giving,” Parker said. “Typically, gifts given to the university are given by alumni, and they’re not usually alumni that are young; we’re talking about people who graduated ten or more years ago. So what we’re trying to do is foster a community of giving within the student population so that when they graduate from NC State as a young alumni, they’ll be more accustomed to giving to the university, because they have already been giving to the university as a student.” The group has already been active at several events across campus, including Student Giving Day on Stafford Commons on March 28. “We hosted the Student Giving Day, that was pretty much us celebrating the donors,” Parker said. “Now that it’s getting warm outside, and the spring weather’s so nice, it’s just a good time to try to give back to those who have given to the university. We were also accepting gifts that day from students, and we’re trying to spread awareness about annual giving in a fun manner while also educating people as to why giving back to the university is important.” At the event, student donors were put in the spotlight, and were celebrated for their generosity. “We were out on Stafford Commons all day celebrating current student donors as well as students who had the opportunity to come out to make a gift, and just celebrated it with NC State COURTESY OF STUDENTS FOR UNIVERSITY ADVANCEMENT FACEBOOK swag, food and music,” Students for University Advancement work to increase student donations to NC State.

From Ice Pack to NHL standby: Calvin Stone Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor
It’s the moment any hockey player dreams of from a young age. Setting foot, if even for a minute, on an NHL ice rink during an NHL game, and suiting up alongside the best hockey players in the world. For most rec-league or beer-league players, it’s too far-fetched to even contemplate. For those that play goalie, such as former NC State club hockey netminder Calvin Stone, it’s a little more realistic. Stone is part of the NHL’s league-mandated emergency goalie program. Due to situations that have come up in the past few years, the NHL requires every NHL team to have a player in the building that is ready to suit up for either team in the event both its goalies get hurt. That allows teams to avoid putting in a position player that has never played goal before and risk injury. Stone and fellow former NC State goalie Spencer Williams split the duties for the Carolina Hurricanes this past year, sharing a set of free full season tickets in the lower bowl. For Stone, a year removed from his Ice Pack days and still playing in a Sunday night league, it’s a chance to maintain a link to his childhood dream. “I think that’s the cool part,” Stone said. “I’ve grown up always having the dream of wanting to play in the NHL and I guess this is the closest I’m ever going to get to it. I think this is a great spot to be in right now. But I just love hockey, so I get to play all the time. I have the chance of actually playing in the NHL, so I’ll take it.” When Stone arrives to the games, he enters through an employee entrance and places his equipment in a small, individual locker room. In the event that either team’s goalie gets injured and has to leave the game, Stone would go down to the locker room, suit up and put on a team jersey that would quickly be provided for him. He would not, however, go to that team’s bench; if the other team had both goalies get injured, he could end up having to switch. In 2016, Canes equipment manager Jorge Alves fulfilled his dream of entering an NHL game for seven seconds. However, the NHL now mandates the emergency goalie must be a neutral party, and a not a team employee, because they could have to play for either team. It can’t be just anyone, either. It has to be someone who has the ability to play, in a pinch, against the best the game of hockey has to offer. For Hurricanes manager of

“I’ve grown up always having the dream of wanting to play in the NHL and I guess this is the closest I’m ever going to get to it. I think this is a great spot to be in right now. But I just love hockey, so I get to play all the time. I have the chance of actually playing in the NHL, so I’ll take it.” ” Stone checked all the boxes. “Just in speaking with guys around the city that I know who play locally, they felt that these two guys were in the top three or four in this city in terms of ability,”
the player we have in the game has the ability to fill in if needed. Also finding someone who has the availability. It was nice to have two guys so someone doesn’t just have to come and sit.”
Part of what gave Stone that ability the Canes were seeking were his days tending goal for NC State. Stone looks back fondly on playing the game he loves at a high level for his college. “It was great,” Stone said. “I love playing any sort of competitive hockey. That definitely was some fun, competitive hockey. I got to know a lot of people. I’m still roommates with a guy that I played with last year… I had a great time. Hockey, it’s a lot of fun.” Of course, it’s easy for these emergency goalies to think, “Well, I’m here, but it’ll never happen; I’ll never get in an NHL game.” However, on March 29, in a game between the Chicago Blackhawks and Winnipeg Jets, Stone and his counterparts got a wake-up call to remind them of the

Wolfpack softball swept by Boston College Jake Caccavaro Staff Writer
The NC State softball team lost its fifth game in a row Sunday, blowing a 2-1 seventh inning lead and losing to Boston College, 5-3, in nine innings. Sophomore pitcher Devin Wallace (1110, 2.44 ERA) threw seven strong innings for the Wolfpack (20-19, 4-10 ACC), allowing three runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks, striking out five. Freshman Kama Woodall came in in relief for Wallace and was credited with the loss, surrendering two earned runs on three hits and one walk, striking out two batters in her two innings of work. Wallace and Woodall did an excellent job slowing down an Eagles (19-15, 8-3) offense that was averaging almost 12 runs per game in its last four, but the offense just couldn’t muster anything, something that was frustrating to NC State head coach Shawn Rychcik. “When you don’t score more than them it’s always frustrating,” Rychcik said. Rychcik chalked it up to youth, however, acknowledging that he has an extremely young roster that is still adjusting to Division-1 college pitchers. “We’ve had some challenges this year,” Rychcik said. “Offensively we’re young; we’re learning to hit.” With both teams struggling offensively heading into the fifth inning, the Wolfpack’s bats finally came through in the bottom of the fifth inning, when sophomore center fielder Jade Caraway plated sophomore outfielder Angie Rizzi on a fielder’s choice with two outs. Caraway hit a sharp ground ball to second base, but senior outfielder Macauley Prickett, pinch running for freshman designated hitter Lily Bishop, beat the throw to second base. Rizzi, who was on second base and stealing on the pitch, sped all the way around third base, never hesitating as she scored from second on a ball hit to second base. “I was going home the whole way,” Rizzi said. The Eagles responded immediately in the top of the sixth inning, as leadoff

hitter Chloe Sharabba took the first pitch she saw deep to right field for her teamleading fifth home run of the season, tying the game up at 1-1. Rizzi came up big again for the Wolfpack, giving the team a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth. With two outs and freshman outfielder Sam Russ pinch running on third base, Rizzi chopped a hard hit ball over the head of third baseman Emme Martinez, scoring Russ and putting the Pack back in the lead. “I told myself, ‘[Rychcik] has confidence in me,’” Rizzi said. “I can do what I can do.” For the second time in a row, Boston College answered a Wolfpack run with one of its own. After a passed ball by Kobziak put runners on second and third with one out, first baseman Cami Sellers drove in the game-tying run and reached on an error by freshman second baseman Chandley Garner, but was tagged
out by Balzer after rounding first base too aggressively. This time, however, the Eagles would score another run. After Wallace missed her chance to escape with the game tied, issuing a two-out walk to second baseman Olivia Markopoulos, who is hitting just .086 on the year, Sharabba lined a two-out, 3-0 offering from Wallace into center field to plate the go-ahead run, putting the Eagles ahead 3-2. Wallace would get the next batter to fly out to left field, but the damage was done. In what had become a pattern of the game, in the bottom of the seventh it was the Wolfpack’s time to come through in the clutch. With pinch runner Brittany Nimmo on second and two outs, down to her last strike, Caraway laced an opposite-field double off the left-field fence, scoring Nimmo and tying up the game at 3-3 and sending it to extra innings. With the game still tied at three and
two outs, Sharabba stepped to the plate with a runner on second, once again in position to come through in the clutch for the Eagles. Rychcik had a decision to make: intentionally walk Sharabba and put a runner on first base, or pitch to her and hope to get her out? Rychcik chose the latter, and it came back to bite him. Sharabba once again drilled a pitch into center field for her third hit of the day, reaching second base for a double and driving in the go-ahead run. Left fielder Annie Murphy singled to center field in the next at-bat, scoring Sharabba and putting the Eagles up 5-3, where the score would remain through the bottom of the frame. “We thought with the pitching change we were going to be alright,” Rychcik said. “We just missed our spot.” T he Wol f pack ret u r ns to ac t ion Wednesday at 5 p.m. against Campbell at Dail Softball Stadium.
injury. Enter Scott Foster, a 36-year-old amateur league goalie and accountant who came into the game for Chicago and made seven saves on seven shots in 14 minutes to fulfill a lifelong dream. “I thought, definitely, ‘That’s my position,’” Stone said. “So the chance of it happening to me is very real. I really just thought, ‘honestly I’m kind of jealous,
that’s awesome.’ I would be very nervous; he did a great job though, doing what he did. He stopped every shot. That’s such a great opportunity and good for him.” So, what does Stone think of the possibility? A dream fulfilled or a nervewracking situation? For him, it’s a little bit of both. “I think it would be really cool to at least
sit on the bench,” Stone said. “Maybe even go into the game. I would love to take a shot in a real NHL game. Obviously I don’t wish anything to happen to the goalies that are there. They’re there for a reason; they do a great job. I think just given the opportunity, just to try it would be an amazing opportunity. I’d be very nervous about it if it were to happen, but still.”

Women’s basketball defying the odds
WOLFPACK REACHES FIRST SWEET 16 SINCE 2007 Kailee Jurnak Staff Writer
NC State women’s basketball head coach Wes Moore is no stranger to the rigors of a long season. This year with the Wolfpack, Moore and the team broke through and pushed their way through in the NCAA tournament, making it to the Sweet 16. “I’m proud of the way such a young, inexperienced team especially on the perimeter,” Moore said. “Started out a little slow in the ACC and we played some tough teams early but very proud of the way they bounced back. Thought they were playing some pretty good bas-
ketball down the stretch which is when you want to be playing well.” With Moore’s head coaching experience at Ma r y v i l le University, his 15 years at Chattanooga and his current place with the Wolfpack, it ’s no s u rprise that he received t he ACC Coach of the Year award in 2016. Senior Chelsea Nelson praised Moore
as a coach for all four years of her college experience. “I think he’s a terrific coach,” Nelson said. “He has so many plays desig ned for us, desig ned for each player at the moment. I ju st t h i n k he’s done a really great job with each team he has because he’s always had some type of obstacle he had to face. He’s always overcame every obstacle to the

best degree that he can.” Moore certainly did the unexpected. Defying the odds of what was predicted for this year’s team was no easy feat after losing four of last season’s starters. Along with losing scorers, the team also had lost experience and only had two seniors to guide it. Moore explained what making it this far meant to him. “It was a very exciting run and the thing is you get greedy, you always want to win one more and then one more,” Moore said. “Really proud of this group, we lost a lot from last year’s team, especially on the perimeter. I thought our guards stepped up and then our two seniors, Akela [Maize] and Chelsea, had great years and provided reputable leadership. Again, it was a ‘feel good season’ but when it’s over you always wish you could’ve lasted a little longer.” With the season over, Moore has already begun thinking of next season, including losing two seniors who were both the starting lineup for the post and ways to improve the team’s offense. “Losing those two [Nelson and Maize] next year is going to be a challenge,” Moore said. “Feel good about our guards and what they were able to accomplish this year and the experience they gained. So now this year it’s gonna be f lipped a little bit to being real young and inexperienced inside the paint. We’ll have to see if we can grow up in a hurry especially on the blocks. … Hopefully as a coach, I can figure out some things maybe to help us offensively to put up a few more points. And we can continue to defend and rebound, and keep building,” Moore said. It doesn’t seem like there is a need to worry too much about the growth of the incoming freshman players. Nelson herself said that she was scared her freshman year but with the help of Moore, her teammates, and the entire staff, she was able to grow more confident with her transition to NC State. “[Moore] talked to me before a lot and told me, ‘You have opportunity, you just have to work hard.’ And a lot of the staff always encouraged me.

Wolfpack wins eighth ACC series in a row Ethan Barry Staff Writer
The NC State baseball team dominated Louisville 10-3 to win the series on Sunday afternoon in Louisville, Kentucky. This is the eighth consecutive ACC series win for the Wolfpack (25-6, 114), dating back to April 2017 when NC State got swept by Boston College. Since, the Pack has won 11 total series in a row, including the eight ACC series wins. The Cardinals (20-11, 6-9) have lost four series in a row. Junior left fielder Brett Kinneman was the star, again, for the Wolfpack. Kinneman blasted his ACC-leading 13th home run of the year, a three-run blast, and added an RBI groundout to bring his RBI total to 44, which also leads the ACC. Sophomore Michael Bienlien got the start on the mound and threw 3.2 solid innings. He tied his career high with six strikeouts and only allowed one run. Redshirt junior Nolan Clenney (3-0) relieved Bienlien and was spectacular in 3.1 innings. He didn’t allow a run and struck out seven and only allowed one baserunner to reach, via walk. Freshman Nick Swiney tossed the final two innings and gave up two runs. He also struck out two hitters. Outside of Kinneman, the Wolfpack offense got a lot of help from the Cardinals. Louisville walked nine Pack batters, in-

lot,” Nelson said. And the help that Moore gave Nelson her freshman year wasn’t the end of Moore’s help to the team. “I think he’s helped us grow a lot,” Nelson said. “He connects with us outside of basketball. He invites us over; he’s funny. He has two sides of him where he’s serious and to where he can connect with us as people. It helps with our relationship for him to understand us better and how to tell us certain things when he’s explaining stuff to us.” Part of the reason why Moore connects with the team both on and off the court is due to his philosophy of surrounding

oneself with good people, not just good athletes. And that mentality is what has helped him be so successful in the women’s basketball community. “I think a big part of that is who you surround yourself with,” Moore said. “Starts with your staff, having great people who care about the players and want what’s best for them and obviously are willing to work hard. … We’re looking for the type of character and person that not only will help us have a successful career or successful year each year but also make the journey enjoyable. And I think it’s important that the players enjoy their experience at NC State. And a big part of that is who your teammates are, who you’re spending time with and we really do our best bringing in not only great players but great people into this
program.” That being said, Moore still is the coach for the program and takes it seriously. Helping the team grow and trying to get a new team to connect with each other year after year if only one part of the job. Moore describes what he tries to do for the team to help it grow as the coach. “I’m very focused and passionate,” Moore said. “I want the players to try to be the best facets they can be, whether it’s watching film, learning a scout. This year we didn’t always click offensively as well as we would like but our defense, our rebounding, the things that you can control night in and night out, they bought into. You try to instill some toughness. This league is brutal.” With such an experienced and seasoned coach, Nelson explained the type of con-
fidence the team has in Moore. “I would say having confidence in, you don’t really have much to worry about,” Nelson said. “You just got to know how to adjust and he helps with that. And we go over a lot of things in practice so it’s good to have a coach that’s able to handle things in that degree.” Throughout his career, Moore has been influenced by many people, including Pat Summit and Kay Yow. “I think you draw from all those experiences and relationships and take a little bit from each,” Moore said. “You still have to be yourself.” And it’s through that balance of taking wisdom from others but still retaining his competitive nature that wants to win every game that Moore will move forward into next season.
