North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a democrat, along with the attorney generals of 14 other States and the District of Columbia, as well as other individuals, sent a letter to President Donald Trump criticizing the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed rule that would ban the EPA from using scientific studies that contain data that is not open to the public. According to Stein, this ban would make the EPA ignore certain health and environmental studies that could prevent the EPA from adopting some standards that would protect the public.

Redesigned LimeBikes arrive on campus for smoother rides Mary Dare Martin News Editor

NC State received 150 new electric assist bikes, also known as e-bikes, which will make traveling around campus easier for students during the upcoming school year.

According to Sarah Williams, the program manager for Transportation Demand Management, these kinds of bikes have become more popular over the past few years.

“E-bikes are kind of blowing up right now in the biking community,” Williams said.

“They’re a lot more popular than they have been in the past. So when LimeBike came to us and said ‘hey we’ve got these electric assist bikes,’ we just kind of jumped on it. And we’re very excited to be able to bring them to campus and have students see a new thing.”

Williams said that the electric assist bikes will make it easier for cyclists to ride around campus and are different than the three-

speed bikes that have been at NC State for the past year.

“The electric assist are essentially pedal assist bikes,” Williams said. “So, there’s a motor that’s located inside of the bike. When you start pedaling, it’ll kick in and it helps you pedal easier so you can get up those hills a little bit easier; get around campus a little bit faster.”

NC State currently has around 500 threespeed bikes on campus, but 150 of those will gradually be replaced with the electric assist bikes. According to Yolanda Jones, the communications manager for NCSU Transportation, LimeBikes have been growing in use throughout Raleigh.

“People are using them like how they would use bikes for transit, first mile last mile,” Jones said. “They are trying to get to where they’re going once they get off the bus… A bus might not drop you off right at your front door, but a bike will.”

DAVID TRACEY/TECHNICIAN

Electric assistance LimeBikes were introduced to the NC State Campus this year, following the success of the regular LimeBikes last year. The new bikes will cost more to ride than the regular LimeBikes, but will make uphill and distance pedaling easier.

Williams said that the new bikes come at no cost to the university. It will cost users one dollar to unlock the bikes and six cents per minute to ride.

The motors in the bikes are powered by

lithium batteries that require charging. The LimeBike staff on campus will be able to locate the bikes through an individual GPS in

Wolfpack Welcome Week aims to engage students, set them up for success Alicia Thomas

Assistant News Editor

As thousands of students move to campus, the Wolfpack will be putting on a series of events to welcome all students to NC State and promote the different organizations on campus that they can engage in during their time on campus.

Genna Martella, assistant director of New Student Programs, said that the variety of events are curated so that each member of campus can engage with programs and organizations that exist at the university.

“Wolfpack Welcome Week kicks off the year by providing both new students and returning students [with ways] to connect with the university, and returning students to connect with the opportunities that are available, to engage in some traditions,” Martella said. “For our new students who have now gone through orientation this summer, to introduce to a

lot of the opportunities that are here at State, and to be officially welcomed into the institution to engage with some of our traditions.”

Martella said that the purpose of Wolfpack Welcome Week is not only to develop a sense of community and tradition with students, new and old, but also to help them seek organizations and engage with their peers with common interests.

“The overall goal is to develop a sense of community with NC State,” Martella said.

“Whether that be in small social groups, connecting to student organizations or connecting with their academic home.”

Martella said that she hopes that students can also develop skills to power them through their college careers.

“We hope students start to develop skills they need to thrive and succeed,” Martella said. “[We want them to] understand a little bit more of what life looks like on campus and feel a part of the Pack as they go into their first academic semester or

just a fresh new academic semester that they can start off on a high note and take that through as they begin the new year.”

Each year, new student organizations, programs and departments are encouraged to engage in Welcome Week. This year, there will be over 125 events occurring throughout the duration of the week, including new additions such as an activity that incorporates LimeBikes and Student Health Services, as well as unique spins on signature events such as Campus Connections.

“There is an opportunity to take a LimeBike ride into the sunset with Student Health Services, which is a new program that’s happening this year,” Martella said. “[We can do it] because of all of the LimeBikes that we have on campus this year as opposed to last year or just a new organization that’s doing a program that NICHOLAS FAULKNER/TECHNICIAN Ms. Wuf helps rev up the crowd during maybe just started last year.”

Major campus partners working in tandem to promote voting in upcoming election Alicia Thomas

Assistant News Editor

Now that Talley Student Union has been selected as one of nine early voting sites in Wake County, NC State organizations such as Student Government and Pack the Polls are preparing to get students registered to vote and out to the polls.

Jess Errico, student body president and fifth-year studying mechanical and aerospace engineering, said that she is looking forward to the early voting site because it provides an opportunity for more students to participate in civic engagement.

“Ultimately with it being chosen, I think that it represents a great opportunity for us to demonstrate what a success the location can be,” Errico said. “I’m looking forward to voting, I’m looking forward to having it on campus, and bringing that level of engagement into the heart of student life.”

Early voting will begin in Talley on Oct. 17. Between the beginning of the academic year and October, Errico said that the main initiative will be making students aware of the election and getting them registered to vote.

“Between now and October it’s going to be a big push to get people knowledgeable of the election and registered,” Errico said. “We’ll be doing, at every step of the way, helping increase awareness of the election and helping to get students registered, so that’ll be through specific programming such as registration drives, being out actively speaking and helping students to register but also maintaining a continuous presence in our other platforms, so social media, the howl,

This year, Campus Connections, a signature event where students can explore the different organizations available to them on NC State’s campus, will be making it easier for students to navigate Talley

our other initiatives and programs that we have going on.”

According to Errico, these efforts will be working with Pack the Polls, an organization on campus that promotes civic engagement, to get students to cast their ballots come election season.

“It’ll be in tandem and it will guide the Pack the Polls initiative, so we will be looking to them and looking to Andrew [McDonald] and Brian Mathis for how we can best help support the initiative, and they’ll be communicating with a variety of campus partners and will be playing a part in the greater plan that they put together.”

Brian Mathis, associate director of Leadership and Civic Engagement (formerly CSLEPS) and co-director of Pack the Polls, said that Pack the Polls will also be making appearances throughout campus to provide information to individuals about registration, candidates, and items on the ballot.

“We will be, throughout the year, at different events around campus,” Mathis said. “So we’re kicking it off with Packapalooza. The Wake County Board of Elections will have a table at Packapalooza registering students to vote. And then throughout the year in Talley and other locations, student organizations can request members of the Pack the Pollsters team, which is a student ambassador arm of the Pack the Polls initiative, can come in and actually register others to vote.”

Mathis said that the Pack the Polls website will be updated with nonpartisan resources for students to understand candidates more, as well as the six North Carolina constitutional amendments that will be voted on.

“Right now, we are currently updating and building the Pack the Polls website,” Mathis said. “On there, we will post a variety of voter guides and resources and information from many sources that students can access, particularly around the six constitutional amendments that are on the ballot.”

Pack the Polls will be hosting a variety of events to promote voter registration and education. Mathis said that their goal during this time will be to increase NC State student’s voter turnout.

“According to the National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement conducted by Tufts University: NC State’s voter rate for the 2014 midterm election was only 24 percent and in the 2016 presidential election it was 54.3 percent,” Mathis said. “We did not have a Pack the Polls coalition in 2014 [and no] early voting site on campus, and so we are hopeful that these efforts this year will increase our midterm election voter rate at NC State.”

Errico said that the one-stop voting site and getting students engaged will be a collaboration with many different campus partners, and Student Government will be working alongside those initiatives to serve to student

population.

“We will be there right alongside, helping the registration drives,” Errico said. “[We will be] helping provide people to work and staff the polls and doing everything to demonstrate that a polling location on campus is successful and helping students make sure they have all the information that they need.”

Mathis said that he hopes many students, staff and faculty show up to vote, come election season.

“We want to get as many people to vote at this site to really demonstrate to the Board of Elections that Talley is an important and viable site, especially for future consideration,” Mathis said. “Our focus is to really improve the number of students registered to vote as well as to actually get to the polls and cast their ballot.”

when they rebalance.”

While it isn’t required by North Carolina law, NCSU Transportation urges LimeBike users to wear a helmet. Jones also emphasized the importance of where to leave a LimeBike when done riding.

“We encourage wearing a bicycle helmet,” Jones said. “It is encouraged that you not only wear a bicycle helmet, but that you park your bikes at or near a bike rack because they should not be left in random places on

a sidewalk or in the grass.”

Williams said that it is exciting to see “bike culture” grow not only on campus, but also throughout the Raleigh community.

“It’s clear that even just bringing LimeBike here to Raleigh,” Williams said. “It just proves that Raleigh wanted a bike share and that more people wanted access to bikes that might not have been able to have access to them before.”

Jones said that seeing students use alterna-

tive forms of transportation in place of driving a car has been enjoyable.

“It’s exciting to share that we have alternatives to personal occupancy vehicles,” Jones said. “There are other ways to get around campus other than driving a car. So it’s exciting to see that people are using that.”

NC State students and employees can find promotions and information on LimeBike rides on the Transportation department website.

through their phones to find organizations that they are interested in learning about.

“For the first time ever, Student Involvement is putting student organizations into zones,” Martella said. “So students will actually be able to engage on our mobile guide prior to the event happening to be able to look at where is an organization

that [they] might be interested in, what area are they at so they can really make the most of that program.”

Through the mobile guide, the hope is that students get to explore new student organizations that meet each student’s individual interest.

“Campus Connections really takes up most of the space in Talley, so the great

thing is that there are lots of opportunities to get involved to find something that you’re super excited about,” Martella said. “So hopefully these zones, throughout the program we’ll allow students to engage with even more things that they’re interested in and even discover things that they may not have even known to be cool opportunities for them.”

Letter from the editor: Looking ahead Jonathan Carter Editor-in-Chief

H

ello! My name is Jonathan Carter and I’m your editor-in-chief. In order for any news organization to gain the trust of its readership, its leader must first prove they can be trusted. It is in that vein that, as the editor of your student news organization, I am dedicating myself to listening to you this academic year. I will listen to what you want, I will listen to what you need and I will listen to what you want Technician to do better.

Last year, in my first letter as editor, I wrote that Technician has problems. We, just like most other news organizations in the industry, struggle to represent the ideas, news and entertainment from all communities. While some great work was done this past year to have those voices represented at Technician, there is still much to do. I am committed to making sure that work gets done and ensuring those voices are better represented by the student news organization that represents them. If ever you feel like I’m not doing enough to accomplish this, please write me at technician-editor@ncsu.edu or stop by my office on the third floor of Witherspoon Student Center.

I will also be out in our community, talking with people from different backgrounds and perspectives so that I can make Technician more representative.

Whether initiated by me or someone else, I am looking forward to those conversations.

Better representation on our pages is one of my three main goals for the upcoming year. The second is a greater amount of content.

media can often be used to spread rumors and fake news, its power as a news delivery medium is high, especially with college students. Technician will enhance its presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram (follow @ncsutechnician) so that our readers can get the content they need in an easily accessible way.

This is my second year as editor-in-chief, an unusual occurrence that puts me in a prime position to lead for another year

“Right now, with media outlets producing actual fake news and heavily slanted and biased content, it is more important than ever to read as much objective news as possible, to support your local news organizations and, most importantly, call us out when we get something wrong.”

Technician publishes four days a week.

Once a week in print (Thursdays) and three days a week online exclusively. In a commitment to meet readers where they want to be met, more of our focus will be on digital media, with more production of content both written and visual for those platforms.

The third main goal of mine is higher engagement on social media. While social

with already a full year of experience behind me. I reapplied for this position last April because I couldn’t see myself doing anything else during my last year at NC State, but my decision to reapply was not only personal. The most important single reason for my decision was my love for reporting the news. Being informed is absolutely crucial for a well-balanced experience anywhere, including NC State.

I am not claiming Technician should be your only source of news, sports, entertainment or opinion content. I do hope, however, that some of our content proves to be useful to you.

I cannot stress the importance of the news media both on a local scale and on a national, or even international, one. Right now, with media outlets producing actual fake news and heavily slanted and biased content, it is more important than ever to read as much objective news as possible, to support your local news organizations and, most importantly, call us out when we get something wrong.

This past year has been incredible for me, and I cannot thank our readership enough for the trust you’ve put in me as your editor. For this next year, I will try my hardest not to let you down. I encourage the submission of both letters to the editor and OP-EDs. It is almost guaranteed that if you write it and send it, I will publish it.

Community engagement is of utmost importance. Please send those submissions to the email I mentioned earlier.

I am going to continue making Technician accountable, factual, pertinent and more representative. This news organization will serve as a record of NC State’s history for the next year. I can’t wait to help you write it and I’ll be with you every step of the way.

A note to upperclassmen: Wolfpack Welcome Week is for you as well It’s that time of year again. As we shake the sand from our clothes, stow the sunglasses in a drawer and once again fill our backpacks with paper in preparation for Noah the new school year, many Jabusch upperclassmen may feel Opinion Editor as though they have it all figured out. In recent days I’ve heard and made many a comment observing how energetic and optimistic the incoming freshmen appear to be.

While certainly we ‘jaded college vet-

erans’ have often found a niche for ourselves within the university ecosystem, that doesn’t excuse us from taking the opportunity to push ourselves out of our comfort zones, as the first-years are repeatedly instructed to do.

I was reminded of this while eating breakfast in the dining hall recently. A student I had never seen before approached my table and asked to sit down. In conversation, I soon confirmed my original assumption that this student was, in fact, a first-year, but once we had parted ways, I reflected upon the implications of that assumption.

First-years, often having only a handful of high school friends at the university, surely have more reason to make new connections than returning students. But seeing as it’s hard to have too many friends or engage with too many people’s diverse experiences, upperclassmen could benefit equally well from taking advantage of Welcome Week to speak to as many unfamiliar people as possible.

Even as upperclassmen, we can still learn more about different student organizations and what they do through events like Campus Connections. Likewise, WKNC’s Concert on the Lawn allows students to listen

to local music and talk with all number of different students. Other events appeal to students’ particular interests and can help them identify others with similar passions. These events all promote interactions among students and can lead to valuable experiences.

Making an effort to meet new people is important for a number reasons. As we finish our GEP requirements and become increasingly specialized within our majors, upperclassmen lose access to a powerful means for expanding our friend groups

The state of affairs: our staff opinion

{ EDITORIAL } L

ast week, the Boston Globe put out a call to newspaper editorial boards across the country, both liberal and conservative, regarding the rhetoric of President Donald Trump against the foundational free and open press guaranteed by the United States Constitution.

And it’s far from coincidence that this president — whose behavior triggered his own Justice Department to appoint a special counsel to investigate him — has tried meticulously to intimidate journalists who provide reporting on such behavior.

Journalists are public servants, who sometimes face dire consequences for simply doing their job, such as Technician alum and Pulitzer Prize finalist Chris Hondros, who was killed in 2011 while on a photo assignment in Libya.

In 1972, journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of the Washington Post began investigating a break-in at the Watergate Hotel, catalyzing a chain of events that would consume Washington for two years and lead to the first resignation of a U.S. president,

The power of journalism was vital.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. While national newspapers covered the tragedy extensively, Technician reported on the student reaction, describing on-campus memorials and vigils, detailing how the event directly affected college students right here in Raleigh. The power of journalism was vital.

In 2017, NC State Student Government underwent a tumultuous impeachment proceeding, culminating with the resignation of the Student Body Treasurer, which Technician reported on extensively for months. The power of journalism was vital.

The term “enemy of the people” has been used as a holistic descriptor for the press by President Trump, which he has also decried as “fake news.” He has berated, belittled and denigrated with a vigor

the assortment of faces found in hall- or suite-style dorm life. It also can increase the hassle involved with getting to oncampus activities, reducing the incentive to experience new things.

It’s especially important that we focus on friendships during college, as an article from The Atlantic notes. It’s rare in adult

unseen by any American president before.

And it’s an important distinction to make that the president isn’t directly referring to Technician in these statements. However, we remain vital and important to this campus, just as journalists across the nation remain vital in their roles serving the American people daily.

This rhetoric is dangerous. This rhetoric is, by no means, acceptable.

Technician is not perfect. We remain open for criticism through a variety of official and unofficial channels, and we encourage constructive criticism of our work. Despite our imperfections, we remain committed to the service we provide to students at this university. Just as Technician is a method of accountability for NC State, our readers are an integral piece of accountability for the student news organization of the largest university in North Carolina.

There remains a distinction, however, between criticism and blatant attacks on the free press across the country.

The mission statement of Technician, as written in the NC State Constitution, states “The newspaper shall report events of interest to the University community with emphasis on those of interest to students, shall function as a meeting place for campus opinions through letters and guest-written material, and shall maintain an unfettered editorial opinion voice.”

It is our duty and privilege to join with The Boston Globe and other United States news organizations in using our unfettered editorial opinion voice to mark the importance of the First Amendment. We invite you to continue participating by reading Technician, online and in print, writing letters to the editor and guest columns, and supporting the journalists working both locally and nationally. We may stumble, but we will not fall, and we must not remain silent during this time of dangerous rhetoric.

We shouldn’t shoot ourselves in the foot by transitioning to a “middle-aged” friendship model sooner than we have to,

We shouldn’t shoot ourselves in the foot by transitioning to a “middle-aged” friendship model sooner than we have to...

as it is difficult to make up for the missed friendships later in life. It’s also somewhat difficult to predict which friends will last for many years, as the article explains, so we disadvantage ourselves by not creating as large a pool of friends as possible.

Fortunately, the spirit of Welcome Week and the activities it offers serve as an immensely useful way of meeting a wide range of people outside of our majors or residential areas. Even if such interactions don’t develop into lasting friendships, putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation and speaking to new people helps maintain social skills that enable us to empathize with others and build a wider understanding of the community’s human landscape.

This week, let us welcome new faces to NC State, but let us not forget that we are not so much wiser than the bright-eyed freshmen coming to campus. Indeed, their enthusiasm is something upperclassmen could stand to learn a great deal from.

Its 9-4 record was its best under among the best in the country in junior Kelvin head coach Dave Doeren, and its 6-2 ACC re- Harmon, graduate Stephen Louis and redshirt cord brought the most conference wins for the junior Jakobi Meyers.

Couple that with a solid group of options out Wolfpack since 1994.

However, when looking at the talent of last of the backfield, led by senior Reggie Gallaspy, year’s team, which sent a program-record seven to replace Nyheim Hines at running back, and players, including the entire defensive line led the Wolfpack will be able to move the ball.

That’s not to say the team will be one-diby all-time sack and tackle-for-loss leader Bradley Chubb, fans and observers reach the mensional and the defense is bereft of talent, logical conclusion that the Pack should have either. The defensive line is returning a group of experienced players that served as backups to done more.

Indeed, a few plays in close losses to South last year’s NFL quartet, led by senior end Darian Roseboro, who has 13.5 career sacks despite not starting for the first three years of his career.

Roseboro and graduate linebacker Germaine Pratt, who finished fourth in tackles on last year’s team with 69, should help offset the losses in the front seven.

The defense should be more well-rounded this year, with the secondary, which has been a problem spot for years for the Wolfpack, set to take a step forward with several players returning, including junior corner Nick McCloud NICK FAULKNER/TECHNICIAN and junior safeties JaSophomore wide receiver Kelvin Harmon catches a ball during rius Morehead and Tim practice before the spring game. Harmon showed more of what was seen over the previous season with three receptions for 75 Kidd-Glass.

Add that talented yards and a touchdown.

However, many have also reached the con- the 2018 Wolfpack.

Not to mention, all that talk about missed clusion that just because NC State squandered a great chance, that was THE chance, and the windows and opportunities just adds more team missed its window to reach that higher motivation for that returning talent.

“It’s just bulletin board material,” Meyers gear and compete for an ACC title.

That’s simply not true, for a couple reasons. said. “They can say what they’ve got to say. We First of all, the Pack has an excellent chance to know who we have at the Murph; we know who repeat, if not improve on, its finish from last we’ve got on our team. So we’re just going to keep working to be the best that we can every season.

A group that includes linebacker Payton Wilson, quarterback Devin Leary, defensive tackle Alim McNeill and running backs Ricky Person and Trent Pennix should be ready to go after learning from the Wolfpack’s veterans this season.

And the 2019 class has a chance to be something truly special. That group is ranked 20th by 247, and will deliver a bevy of talent to Carter-Finley Stadium. The 2019 defensive line class, led by three four-stars in the top 20 nationwide at their positions, could rival the group that just graduated.

So, when factoring in the talent the Wolfpack

has returning, along with the future recruits coming in, the notion that 2017 was some oncein-a-lifetime, one-time chance team for NC State is both misguided and incorrect.

“I think that’s just the whole aspect of college football,” Louis said. “Every year is going to be a new team. That’s how it goes. You have to step up. Guys have to step up in different positions.

Obviously you had a lot of great players get drafted and get picked up by teams, but that’s college football. That’s how it works. We’re a program who recruits well, who develops well.

For me, seeing the development that we have, I have no worries. People are going to talk on the outside. What we have going on in here is what we have. I love that about us.”

Women’s soccer poised for strong season Jake Caccavaro Staff Writer

NC State women’s soccer is off to a strong start in 2018, beating Navy 2-1 in the Wolfpack’s first match of the season.

The Midshipmen (1-1), who went 164-1 (8-0-1 Patriot League) in 2017 were a tough opening match for NC State, but the Wolfpack (1-0) was up to the task.

Navy got the scoring started in the 34th minute when defenseman Kayla Robinson deflected a shot into the net, putting the Midshipmen up 1-0 in front of their home crowd. Neither team scored again in the first half, and the teams entered the locker room with Navy up 1-0.

that would kill for an oppor-

a single save for the entirety of the match.

Coming off of an excellent 2017 season that saw the Pack go 15-5-2 (6-3-1 ACC) and make it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, the Wolfpack is looking to build upon its success.

A heartbreaking loss to Princeton in kicks from the mark to end the Wolfpack’s season in front of its home fans in Cary should be all the motivation the Pack needs for a successful 2018 season.

The Pack returns its five leading point scorers from 2017 in King (40 points), senior forward Maxine Blackwood (13 points), Kia Rankin (12 points), junior midfielder Ricci Walkling (12 points) and senior defender Hannah Keogh (10

points).

NC State also returns its starting goalkeeper, Wootten, who conceded only 17 goals in 19 games last year, and two of its best defenders in sophomore Lulu Guttenberger and junior Krissi Schuster.

The experienced Wolfpack team retains 82 percent of its minutes played from 2017 and 36 of its 40 goals scored. The veteran squad is well-positioned to make another NCAA Tournament run.

With an upperclassmen-laden squad (12 juniors and seniors combined) with NCAA postseason experience, a secondround appearance in the 2017 NCAA Tournament could prove to be just the beginning for the Wolfpack.

Cole said. “But I owe it to those kids over there.”

NC State head football coach Dave Doeren has thought highly of Cole since his first day on the scene, as both an individual and a punter. Both on and off the field, Cole exudes dedication and work ethic.

“Off the field, he’s without a doubt the most connected spiritually,” Doeren said.

“Talk about knowing who you are. He knows exactly who he is as a person, exactly who he is spiritually, and he knows what his ‘Why’ is.”

Cole’s leadership on the field has not gone unnoticed. His ability to be a positive inf luence on his teammates in game day situations is what the coaches recognize the most.

“He’s really good with the special team’s guys and I think he has great energy,” Doeren said. “But also, he understands how to calm guys down and talk to people. He has great leadership ability and a talented leg.”

Graduate kicker Kyle Bambard has been a part of Cole’s life for his entire collegiate career, and believes his inf luence as a positive role model is undoubtedly the best on the team.

“People often forget that football is something we do and not who we are,” Bambard said. “I’ve lived with A.J. for four years now and I know him best as a roommate, friend and most importantly a brother. What I’ll miss most about A.J. is simply having him in my life on a daily basis.”

With many hours spent in the books studying industrial engineering, Cole has options after graduation.

“I’m going to train and try to give the NFL a shot,” Cole said. “But if that doesn’t work out then I’ll just try to get a job and go wherever that takes me.”

The Wolfpack responded in the 69th minute when a cross from superstar senior midfielder Taylor Porter found junior midfielder Tziarra King, who put the ball past Navy’s goalie to knot the game up at 1-1.

King struck again in the 73rd minute with the game-winner off of an assist from freshman midfielder Madison Kline to put the Wolfpack up 2-1, where the score would stay for the remainder of the game.

NC State finished with 13 shots (five on goal) to Navy’s three shots, only one of which was on goal.

Aside from Navy’s lone goal, NC State senior goalkeeper Sydney Wootten wasn’t tested the entire time, not having to make

Volleyball set to follow up historic 2017 Kailee Jurnak Staff Writer

The start of a new season brings a new challenge for NC State’s volleyball team, as key players graduate and new members step foot onto the court.

Last season, the Pack opened against Kansas and was defeated 3-1 in four sets. The game started a five-game losing streak for the Pack until the High Point Tournament where the team harnessed its first win.

Following that, the Pack went undefeated in its first eight ACC matches until it fell to UNC-Chapel Hill. The Pack carried on and remained champions on the home court with an overall season of 11-3 and a conference record of 10-0 in Reynolds Coliseum. The team made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history, finishing 21-12.

With such a strong performance last season, third-year head coach Linda Hampton-Keith has to fill some big roles on the team if the Pack is expected to repeat the previous season.

The Wolfpack lost some vital members to the team including middle blocker Kaitlyn Kearney, libero Emily Harris and outside hitters Bree Bailey and Julia Brown. Kearney and Harris were important to the defense of the

team with Harris picking up digs and Kearney blocking attacks. Bailey and Brown were crucial to the attacking lineup.

Some of the gaps from the departed seniors can be filled by the returning players, including sophomore outside hitter Melissa Evans, whose freshman season was cut short due to an injury but started off strong in the beginning of the season, earning the honor of ACC Freshman of the Week.

Middle blockers Teni Sopitan, a senior, and junior Lauryn Terry have both proven that they can take up a strong role at the net as easily as junior libero Grace Irvin can protect the back of the court. Senior setter Kylie Pickrell remains a steady presence on the court with not only sets but also quick attacks that catch the team’s opponent off guard.

Along with the veteran players, the team has newly minted freshmen joining the Pack including setter Nina Sharpton, middle blocker Pam Chukwujekwu and outside hitters Savannah Bryant and Jade Parchment.

This past Friday, the Wolfpack held its annual Red and White Intrasquad Scrimmage to warm up the new team before its first match.
