Angelene enke Staff WRiter
Did You Know? a new minor named swag — sexuality, women and gender — has been introduced this year. the Women’s and Gender Studies program used to be named Women’s Studies. You can earn a WGS major, minor, m.A. or graduate certificate.
The beginning of March will mark the start of Women’s History Month, which UNI is recognizing by celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) program here on campus. On the weekend of March 3 and 4, the WGS program will host a celebratory anniversary event alongside the Center for Multicultural Education’s (CME) First Friday event. This event, held on Friday, March 3, from 5 to 8 p.m. in the CME in the upper level of Maucker Union, will be open to anyone on campus. The event will feature Phyllis Baker, a former UNI professor, who will share her
experience of being a part of the WGS program, as well as the history of the program. Baker is currently an administrator at the University of Illinois. Another featured guest will be Terry Pearson Stevens, who is an activist, advocate and artist educator from the Waterloo area. Stevens, a UNI alumna, will perform “Women Warriors” — a collection of art, music, poetry and dance that shares a global perspective about women who have been overlooked in their contribution to women’s rights. Victoria DeFrancisco, professor in communication studies and former WGS director, expects around 250 people to

attend this event. Many alumni will be returning for this anniversary event and will be given a tour of the campus by student ambassadors Saturday morning to see how the campus has changed, as well as visit the WGS space in Sabin Hall. Anna Blaho, WGS programming graduate assistant, mentioned that a craft will be involved in this activity that highlights intersectionality — a feminist framework that the program is focusing on. The craft involves decorating a pair of glasses that can be used as a prop for a photo booth with which attendees can interact. According to Blaho, tables of student organizations, a slide-
show of the program’s history and a history display will also be present at the event. The history display, which will be up for all of Women’s History month, was put together by Katherine Martin. “I think that it’s more important than ever to remind people that women have been fighting for not just women’s rights but the rights of underrepresented populations for generations,” said Wendy Hoofnagle, interim director for the WGS program. Hoofnagle said she believes that what they have been doing for the past 40 years is truly something to celebrate. See WGS, page 2
Multiple car break-ins on campus LEZIGA BARIKOR Copy Editor
The UNI Department of Public Safety Crime Log reported four burglaries from motor vehicles took place on Feb. 17. Two burglaries took place in the Dome North Lot, one in the Dome West B Lot and one in the Industrial Tech B Lot. Gabe Combs, junior theater performance major, one of the Dome North Lot burglary victims, spoke to the Northern Iowan (NI) about his experi-
Night of robbery “I was going with my friends to Olive Garden,” said Combs. “And I put [my backpack] in my car in the front seat […] And I remember not locking the door and [thinking] it’s totally fine, no one’s going to steal my things.” Combs said he left his car in the parking lot from around 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. When he returned to his car, he realized quickly that it had been cleaned out. “First, I called my friends
Police involvement “They sent a lady to come in and get my report,” said Combs. He said the officer was kind and reminded him, “It’s not your fault that someone decided that they were going to take your things.” See BREAK-INS, page 2

Combs also said the officer told him that there had been other cars broken into and that two of them also resulted in windows getting smashed. As of press time, UNI police was unable to comment on the details or proceedings of the four open car burglary cases. “I guess if they wanted my backpack they would’ve found a way to get it,” said

Combs. “So, I’m trying to look at the bright side.” Combs said he was told by UNI police that they would be closely watching pawnshops for any of his more expensive lost items like his computer hard drive. He was also recommended to watch out on Craigslist to see if any of his stolen items show up for sale there or on similar sites. “She essentially told me that if I happen to find it, to call, but otherwise, they’ll ‘Do what they can,’” said Combs. Combs said he was told he would receive a call Monday, Feb. 20, but had yet to be contacted by UNI police, as of Friday, Feb. 24. Stolen items Combs totaled up the items he lost in the burglary to be approximately $1,062. “I had finally been able to afford all of my textbooks, and so, I went and

bought my textbooks and those were all taken from my car,” said Combs. “I don’t anticipate getting my things back, which is a real bummer,” said Combs. “My sketchbooks and my really nice art markers were [all] in there too. And […] I know that it’s just art, but it felt like a diary of mine that had been taken because the art is personal to me.” Along with Combs’ backpack, textbooks, sketchbooks and art supplies, he also lost his notebooks, computer, hard drive and Samsung charger. Combs said that his insurance would only be able to compensate him for $62 worth of lost goods. Aftermath Combs said one of his biggest mistakes was leaving his items visible in his car.

by two female faculty members in Baker Hall, which no longer exists. A closet full of books that was donated by women faculty were being “checked out” and returned by students who were interested in the program. In 2005, Women’s Studies was changed to Women’s and Gender Studies. The program now includes a minor, an M.A. and a graduate certificate. Sarah Runchey, a former UNI student, obtained her MBA and is often asked how the WGS program has impacted her life. “It taught me how to think strategically,” Runchey said. “It gave me the vision to ask how and why.” This year, a new minor called SWAG has been introduced, which stands for Sexuality, Women and Gender. This includes a sexuality course, which is now permanent, called Introduction to LGBTQ Studies, in hopes of reaching out and raising awareness. Hoofnagle said the WGS program has one long-term goal that has not yet been fulfilled, one that they have had since the 90’s. “We have been pushing for
a women’s center on campus,” Hoofnagle said. “Having a safe place in this social-political climate for groups to go to is more critical than ever.” Several success stories have emerged from this program. A graduate student was inspired to develop a violence prevention program on college campuses. That student gathered people together and wrote grants to the government, which served as the founding of the Center for Violence Prevention on the third floor of Sabin. Derk Babbitt, also a former student, graduated with a Women’s and Gender Studies M.A. and has had success in the work field. “My manager frequently reminds me that my masters elevated me above all other applicants at my initial interview,” Babbitt said. “I have now been promoted a couple of times thanks to my education.” All throughout the month of March, the WGS program will be hosting a number of events, including a History of Queer Women, a screening of the film “Hidden Figures” and a feminist game night to celebrate Women’s History Month.

DeFrancisco encourages students to come and learn about the program. “It’s really important to encourage students to be critical thinkers — to be active and engaged citizens. And that’s a part of what we teach,” DeFrancisco said. “This program sponsors events and workshops, brings in speakers and all kinds of activities to shine a light on marginalized groups.” The Women’s Studies program originated during the 70’s

The caricature of Milo Y. FEBRUARY 27, 2017
NORTHERNIOWAN.COM
Milo Yiannopoulos finally had to pay the piper when statements he made on multiple occasions in support of young boys and adult males engaging in romantic relationships. The British professional provocateur officially resigned from his position of senior editor at Breitbart News Tuesday, Feb. 21 in a live press conference where he admitted he misspoke, and he let his own personal experience as a victim of child sex abuse become an excuse to speak carelessly. Yiannopoulos stirred up headline after headline for speaking out on social topics and conservative issues. He is known for outlandish phrases such as: “Feminism is cancer,” “Stop being poor” and “Fat shaming works” and he markets most of these online at his merchandise store. Yiannopoulos would constantly remark that he is the Kanye West of the political rhetoric sphere, and I agree. I always find Kanye’s music entertaining as much as it is outlandish. This
outlandishness is all part of the act — and it sells. Even when Kanye seems to say or do something in the media that puts his personal character in a negative light, I still see people get excited for teased G.O.O.D. Fridays (Kanye’s free music giveaways). Liberals and left leaning media outlets hate Yiannopoulos not only for his controversial catchphrases, but also his overt use of identity politics against them. Often claiming to be invincible, Yiannopoulos constantly reminded audiences that he is a Jewish, Catholic, gay man; he frequently boasts about choosing black men as partners, so as to discredit any claims to homophobia and racism. Perhaps Yiannapoulos’s most controversial statements were about LGBT* issues. I believe he took the opportunity to say provocative things about LGBT* issues mostly for the sake of being identifiably “qualified” to say it, rather then for discussing policy differences. From Breitbart headlines on June 17, “Gay rights have made us dumber, it’s time to get back in the closet” to Dec. 11 “Dear straight people: I’m officially giving you permission to say gay, f—t and queer.” To what end do those assertions promote conservative ideals and the expansion
of American citizens’ individual freedoms? I’d say none. Yiannopoulos took his caricature to far extremes to further pander to social ideas that needn’t have been reinforced to argue against the liberal policies in consideration. One of the rather underplayed incidents of un-necessary liberal bating occurred on Yiannopoulos’s Snapchat account, which I witnessed myself. In a late January Snapchat story post, Yiannopoulos shared a picture of a restaurant receipt for a $139.81 and wrote boldly, “No Tip Crew,” and on the bottom line wrote, “God hates f-gs sorry about it.” According to KRQE Albuquerque channel 13 news, Yiannopoulos had stopped late at Buffalo Wild Wings after giving a talk at the University of New Mexico (UNM) on Friday, Jan. 27. The servers quickly went to management about the tip, and KRQE reported that someone from the group did leave a cash tip before leaving the establishment. The heavily protested UNM event preceding that incident also had its own low point, when Yiannopoulos remarked: “You’re wearing a hijab in the United States of America what’s wrong with you,” to a protestor.
“The liberal media” is a hot topic in the United States. The issue of a biased media has become one of the largest in the nation. A Gallup poll from November 2016 showed 52 percent of Americans thought mass media was biased towards Hillary Clinton, compared to just 8 percent believing media favored Trump. A 2015 Gallup poll found that just 32 percent of Americans held a fair amount or great deal of trust in mass media. The low amounts of trust were driven by Republican skepticism: 14 percent of Republicans had a fair amount or great deal of trust in news media, compared to 51 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of independents. First, it is important to address — what is “the media?” We often think of the media as a single entity, but this is not true. “The media” is hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies and outlets. The mass media is made up of several companies, and while I believe mass media is falling into the hands of too few people, they are still separate companies with important
differences. We also have access to hundreds of smaller news companies all around the country, and even the world. Different media outlets hold different political biases. Several wings of mass media are pro-conservative. While the mass media includes CNN and MSNBC, outlets commonly regarding as holding a liberal bias, the mass media also includes Fox News. Fox is not just a mass media company; it is the most watched news network in the country. Fox News is also infamous for its right-wing tilt. Other mass media outlets that are generally conservative include the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Times and various conservative talk radio shows such as shows hosted by Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The media is not a single, liberal entity; it is made up of many companies with varying political leanings. President Trump has ruthlessly attacked the American news media. Trump accuses outlets who air his dirt as “fake news,” and even banned CNN, the New York Times, Politico, the Los Angeles Times and BuzzFeed from a White House informal briefing last week. American political news media undoubtedly has a lot of problems, but Trump is “solving” the problem in the wrong way.
Instead of addressing legitimate issues with political media, he attacks media with a clearly partisan agenda. It’s difficult to take Trump’s accusations of fake news seriously when he accuses the New York Times as fake news, but is totally okay with Breitbart; an outlet that has actually published fake news. Trump brings a lot of his media problems on himself. Trump suffers from what Michael Baranowski calls the “Cleveland Browns problem.” The Cleveland Browns have received a lot of negative media coverage over the years. The Browns went 1-15 last season. Does this negative coverage originate from an anti-Browns bias in American sports media, or is it more likely the Browns receive negative coverage because they are a bad football team? If Trump would stop calling outlets who criticize him fake news, stop going on Twitter rampages, stop needlessly insulting people and start acting like a normal president he would find a lot of his media problems going away. What are the real problems with political media? One is a lack of discussing the issues that should be the center of campaigns. Remember the substantive policy debates regarding the issues during the 2016 campaign? No, you don’t, because all

Milo Yiannopoulos, former editor at Breitbart News
Differences in ideology set aside, the comment does not embrace the First Amendment rights for which Yiannopoulos is always lauding America. Yiannopolous’s defeat has not left him without support from other political commentators on the same anti political correctness spectrum of left and right. People have offered support without condoning any of the language used by Yiannopoulos leading to this resignation. Baked Alaska, rapper and former manager to Yiannopolous, stated in a Feb. 10 tweet after the press resignation press conference, “I have defended Milo for standing up for free speech on many occasions. Today, I cannot defend Milo anymore.” “I don’t agree with what Milo said, but I also don’t like to see a friend suffer,” continued Alaska in series of tweets. “Love or hate
Milo; you can’t deny he had done good for our movement. He’s the one who first got me into politics and I am grateful for that.” This brings me to a vital point — people do not need to support every single idea of a public figure or conversely reject them all. The binary politicization of every area in life seeks to force people to choose constantly. Right or left? Support or protest? President Trump or #NotMyPresident? Yiannopoulos: fascist neo-Nazi or alt-right conservative? Some would claim those are one in the same, but I wouldn’t. The truth is not found in one side or the other, but in the spaces where the facts convene. The facts are these: Yiannopoulos was a conservative journalist-turned-columnist, turned speaker, turned professional provocateur and mistakes were made along the way. If you’re interested in the progression of these things, watch his controversial interviews and more. Watch his earlier interviews before he dyed his hair bleach blonde. You still may find a man you disagree with, but you won’t find a progression to white nationalism or neo-Nazi ideas. You will find that pride comes before the fall.

the media covered throughout the campaign was whatever stupid thing came out of Donald Trump’s mouth that day. Even before 2016, media coverage focuses more on what the candidates did that day or their personal lives. The answers to the issues facing our country cannot be found in a six second soundbite. Another problem is political media’s tendency to entertain rather than inform. The next is narrowcasting. Thanks to internet, social media and small media companies we can easily get our news from sources that hold political views similar to our; and research shows we do exactly that. Many Americans exist in an echo chamber of
our views, and never have them challenged. My best advice is to read your news. Print news tends to try to give you the whole story, and the context behind it instead of a 30 second summary. There is less of the incentive to entertain that exists in cable news. I recommend reading the New York Times and Des Moines Register; both of which are available for free in the Maucker Union. Some think the Times leans left, but this is a product of its liberal opinion columns. The news itself is unbiased and reasonable. After all, the Times broke the story of Hillary’s email scandal in 2015. Perhaps Trump would be nicer to them if he remembered that.

Students pick UNI’s own sandwich SYDNEY HAUER Staff Writer
In a move of true culinary democracy, a new sandwich recipe will be decided by the students and for the students. Erbert and Gerbert’s (E&G) Bistro in the Maucker Union is holding a contest for students to create the official UNI sandwich, unique to the university. “They thought it would be a good idea to give campuses the opportunity to create their own sandwiches so they can have their campus sandwich that is just unique to that school,” said Joel Sires, manager of the E&G Bistro in Maucker Union. According to Sires, the E&G corporation proposed the idea to them a year ago. They decided to accept it and move forward with creating the sandwich. Last year, students had the opportunity to submit ideas for what they thought the sandwich should be called. The name was chosen before the sandwich was created. It will be called “Campy Neil,” after the Campanile clock
tower, a landmark of the UNI campus. Students can go online to the E&G Bistro website and create what they think the sandwich should be through an interactive process. “It’s like going down the [sandwich] line,” Sires said. “You actually get to see it get built almost like it would if we were making it for you.” Students can build a virtual sandwich by picking the bread, meat, cheese, veggies and sauces they want and can see what it looks like as it’s built. The submission deadline for students is this Friday, March 3. After all of the submissions for possible sandwiches are in, the E&G corporation will pick the top 20 sandwich recipes in April. After they choose their favorite 20, it is then up to the staff at the E&G Bistro in Maucker Union to choose their top three sandwiches. “We’re going to portion out 200 samples of each, and then students will help choose which one gets made into the ‘Campy Neil,’” Sires explained.
NI ARCHIVES
The Erbert and Gerbert’s Bistro, located in the Maucker Union, will soon be offering a UNI-specifc sandwich, dubbed the “Campy Neil.” Students will have until this Friday to submit their own sandwich recipes.
Students will then be able to taste each sandwich and vote, so that the ultimate decision will be up to the students. The E&G Bistro has been a UNI mainstay in Maucker Union since June of 2015. Some students have expressed excitement at the notion of having a E&G
sandwich made specifically for the UNI community. “I think it’s an interesting concept and it would be cool have a sandwich named after UNI,” said Audrey Skoog, a junior English teaching major. “I think it’s a cool idea!” said Meredith Miller, a junior public relations major.
Panther Portrait:
“I’ve enjoyed having E&G on campus and since it’s the first one in Iowa, having a sandwich named the ‘Campy Neil’ would be neat.” Students interested in submitting their own “Campy Neil” sandwich recipe can go online to egbistro.com/uni-cedarfalls/ to enter their submission.
Motown SOUND CELEBRATION

Associate Executive Editor
On Sunday, Feb. 26, the UNI George Walker Society hosted “A Celebration of the Motown Sound” in the lobby of the Gallagher Bluedorn Performing Arts Center (GBPAC). The event featured live performances, music videos of classic Motown artists and displays of memorabilia and collectibles. The free event was brought to campus in conjunction with Black History Month. Local up and coming music artist Trevell Fisher was one of the performers at the event, as was Celeste Bembry, the George Walker Society president. Attendees at the event both listened and danced to the Motown-inspired performances. In addition to serving as a social event, “A Celebration of the Motown Sound” was also educational, providing historical context for Motown and Detroit, the city that birthed the iconic record company. At the event, Bembry said she hopes to have the George Walker Society host a blues festival next year.

FILM REVIEW
“Fifty Shades” definition of love is toxic JOSHUA ROUSE Film Critic
Having escaped the possessive Christian Grey, Anastasia “Ana” Steele is once again living a peaceful life, happily working at a publishing company. But her peace is intermittently broken by gifts from Grey, who desperately wants her back. The two finally meet and once more enter into a relationship, this time with “no secrets, no punishments and no contracts.” As Ana and Christian grow closer, Ana learns more and more about Christian’s troubled past and just what it takes — physically and emotionally — to be involved with someone as demanding and complicated as Christian Grey. Directing: 1/5 “What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more.” Many are familiar with these lyrics by Haddaway, and “Fifty Shades Darker” is a direct embodiment of those very words. Just like the male protagonist’s surname, the morals and message of this film are decidedly grey. At one point in the movie, Christian claims he wants to quit his dominant lifestyle, and Ana says she wants to help him. However, in the next scene, the couple engages in the erotic behavior they had
just said they didn’t want anymore. Ana continually contradicts herself by giving a strong “No” to Christian’s controlling, stalker-like advances but soon emits a passionate “Yes” to whatever suggestion Christian gives — even if their subsequent actions go against everything she was resisting only moments before. The word “Love” is spoken only a handful of times but never lived out in the characters’ actions, no matter how passionate their sex life is. Sex does not equal love, and love does not equal sex. According to “Fifty Shades Darker,” the meaning of love is breaking all moral boundaries, allowing anything to happen and having as much carnal sex as possible. There is no meaningful discussion between Ana and Christian about the give and take, the equal responsibility of loving one another as significant others. It’s only about what each one can get from their relationship. With so much back and forth, it’s hard to know if the audience is supposed to root for Ana and Christian or see them as tragic characters. Writing: 1/5 The plot of “Fifty Shades Darker” is just as muddled and unclear as the directing. The rekindling of Ana and Christian’s relationship
TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE
The erotic romance drama “Fifty Shades Darker,” the sequel to 2015’s “Fifty Shades of Grey,” has received a nearly universal negative critical reception, currently carrying just a nine percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
happens at breakneck speed, throwing any sense of character development and pacing out the window. Indeed, a majority of the film is spent meandering around until the next sex scene. By the end of the film, nothing is really accomplished. The plot point of Ana and Christian wanting to do away with their BDSM lifestyle is dissolved immediately. What could have been an engaging struggle against one’s darkest temptations and the journey toward a healthy relationship is instead a dull, repetitive affair that is anything but romantic.
Why I relay
Acting: 1/5 Anastasia Steele is played by Dakota Johnson, who gives a committed turn as the indecisive young woman. Jamie Dornan plays the dreary Christian Grey. Dornan’s composed performance comes off as emotionless and disinterested, rather than intimidating and commanding. Eric Johnson plays Ana’s oppressive boss Jack Hyde, who is particularly a one-note character with no real depth or motivations. Bella Heathcote plays the unfortunate Leila Williams who is perhaps the most interesting of the bunch, but whose backstory is quickly
explained away without much exploration. Overall: When the main focus of a story is sexual tension (both in and out of the bedroom) between two main characters, there isn’t much room to go in character development — or plot for that matter. This story makes for an uninspired chore to sit through. Yet somehow, thousands of people flock to the theaters and bookstores to indulge in the misconstrued view of love that is “Fifty Shades Darker.”
A collection of stories of why students decide to relay for life
“I relay because I’m tired of watching people lose their loved ones to cancer. When I was in elementary school, my family always participated in the Relay for Life event in my grandma’s hometown. My brother and I would race around the track pointing out all the names we knew, and there were quite a few. At that age, I didn’t really realize the significance of all those bags. Knowing now what they mean and that each one represented a loved one who had fought or was fighting cancer, breaks my heart. My grandparents lost their son to cancer when he was only 17 years old. I didn’t know him, but I have heard stories of all the people he impacted and seen the pain in my grandparents’ eyes when his birthday comes around. At the end of my freshman year and for the duration of my sophomore year, a very close family friend from our church was battling cancer. She was one of the sweetest people you’ve ever met, fighting one of the nastiest battles we know. Over the course of a year and a half, I watched this kind-hearted woman grow weaker and weaker. The cancer never took her loving attitude from her. Even when she was too weak to move on her own, she was still looking out for everyone else. Just before this school year started, our dear friend lost her battle to cancer. She has a daughter a year younger than me, and my heart hurts thinking of losing my mom at this age. I relay for all the people I care about who have lost someone close to them. Because even though I can’t do anything alone to fix their pain, I can do my part to make sure other people won’t have to feel the same way.”

Disappointment in Des Moines BRENNAN WHISLER Sports Writer
The Northern Iowa women’s basketball team took a shot this past weekend as they lost their one game of the week to the Drake Bulldogs, 70-57. Drake, 21st in the nation, clinched the one seed for the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament (MVC) and the regular season championship. UNI will be able to clinch second place this weekend with a win against Missouri State (MSU), or if the Panthers beat Wichita State and MSU loses one other game. Their contest against Drake was extremely close. At the end of the first quarter, the score was tied at 8-8 and looked like another overtime affair between the two teams might occur. The second quarter saw Drake start to pull away despite a few ties and even a lead change at 16-14 that put UNI up very briefly. The second half was just as close and Drake squeaked to a 26-24 lead. UNI was able to pull the score within two,

but Drake found their groove started to pull away mid-third quarter, finishing up 47-34. The Panthers were never able to close the gap to single digits in the fourth and were behind by a 13-point margin at the end of the third.
Senior Madison Weekly led the team with 19 points and three assists. Freshman Megan Maahs also put in extra effort by putting up seven points and a game high nine rebounds. Both players led UNI with 34 minutes
apiece, the only players to break the half hour mark for either team. The Panther’s next game will be Thursday night against Wichita State; tipoff will get underway at 7 p.m. Then UNI’s Senior Night

Redbirds’ rebounding routes the Panthers DYLAN PADY Sports Editor
ANTHONY SCHULTES/Northern Iowan
The UNI men’s basketball team finished their regular season with a tough loss to Illinois State University (ISU), 63-42. The Panthers finished the season with an overall record of 14-15, 9-8 in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC), 9-4 at home and 3-9 on the road. The Redbirds came into this game 24-5 (16-1 in the MVC) and had just recently won nine of their last 10 games; their only loss was against Wichita State, 86-45. By the end of the first half, UNI was only down five as ISU led with 30 points. Jordan Ashton led the the team with nine points and two rebounds. Klint Carlson had seven points, one rebound and an assist before going into the halftime break.
ISU ran away with the lead during the second half. The Redbirds had 16 rebounds compared to UNI’s eight (32 rebounds compared to 24 at the end of the contest). The Panthers were also unable to find their offensive rhythm and finished the half shooting just 30 percent while the Redbirds were successful from anywhere on the court: 13-20 from the field and 5-10 from three-point land. Bennett Koch led the second half with six points, two rebounds and an assist. Their season’s efforts earned the men’s team the No. 3 seed in the MVC tournament and they will take on the No. 6 seed Missouri State this Friday at 8:30 p.m. The winner of the whole tournament will represent the MVC in the NCAA’s “March Madness” tournament.

WRESTLING
Into the MAC Championships
IRIS FRASHER/Northern Iowan
ZACHARIAH HUNTLEY Sports Writer
One of the biggest events of the season for the Panther wrestlers will take place this upcoming weekend in the McLeod Center. The Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championships will be hosted here in Cedar Falls, where wrestlers from across the country will come to compete for their chance to advance to the NCAA Championships.
Due to their increased strength and proven worth on the mat, UNI advanced to No. 14 in the nation after being ranked at No. 19 throughout the season; following close behind their season-rivals, Missouri, who ranked No. 10. Increasing their individual national standings were redshirt freshman Max Thomsen at No. 8, sophomore Bryce Steiert at No. 9, redshirt freshman Taylor Lujan at No. 13 and redshirt
sophomore Drew Foster at No. 12, competing in the 149, 165, 174 and 184 weight classes, respectively. This year, the conference was awarded 37 automatic bids to the NCAA tournament, the fourth highest amount out of the eight national conferences. Placement into the tournament is measured on three criteria from the current year’s data: Division I winning percentage at the weight class, their ratings
percentage index (RPI) and coaches’ rankings. Place-finishes at each qualifying tournament will determine the NCAA tournament spots. In addition to the automatic bids allocated, there will be an additional 33 at-large positions that will be determined after the tournaments, based on the following criteria: coaches’ rankings, RPI, winning percentages, qualifying event placements, quality of wins and head-to-head competi-
tion. Following the qualifying tournaments, the NCAA Championships will take place in St. Louis, MO at the Scottrade Center from March 16-18. The MAC Championships will begin March 4 with doors opening to the public at 10 a.m., with final bouts scheduled for 2 p.m. March 5. Tickets are available now and can be found online or by phone through (319) 2734849.
SOFTBALL
“Mixed bag” weekend in Louisiana BRENNAN WHISLER Sports Writer
The Northern Iowa Softball team kicked the weekend off with a pair of wins at the Louisiana Tech Classic. The first game saw UNI deftly handle Grambling State University 4-1. They then continued to roll on against Sam Houston State, 6-2. The first game saw a complete team effort on both sides of the plate as freshman Jaci Spencer struck out three straight batters after the first batter reached on an error. UNI would manage to score in the first inning with thanks
to senior Macey Wolfe’s RBI, which was preceded by junior Brittney Roby’s triple. In the third a Roby sac-fly put sophomore Brittney Krodinger across to the next base. Spencer not only had 12 strikeouts on the day, but also an RBI that got freshman Sammy Bunch home. Krodinger got the last Panther run in the fifth after she reached first on a wild pitch. A steal and an error later, she was home. The second game saw UNI score in two innings. Down one in the second Wolfe managed a double that brought in both Bunch and Krodinger. Senior Alyssa Buchanan, who
was the starting pitch had an RBI single to score Roby from third. Wolfe score in the fifth after sophomore Bailey Lange was walked. Buchanan was brought home after a single by senior Anna Varriano. Lange then reached home after Krodinger was hit by a pitch. On Saturday afternoon, the Panthers lost to Sam Houston State, 2-1, followed by another loss to Louisiana Tech, 8-0. UNI’s lone run in the second game against Sam Houston State (SHSU) came in the third. Wolfe managed to score Courtney Krodinger.
It looked like one would be enough until SHSU scored two on one single in the top of the sixth to eventually win. The game against Tech started close, as UNI was only down one run until the fourth inning. Tech then singled and got some helpful errors to help them score three runs. In the fifth inning, an error and a single ripped UNI for another three runs. Finally, an error in the sixth inning saw Tech earn their eighth run; the mercy rule was then enforced for the Panthers, the final score was 8-0. In their last game against
McNeese State (MCN) on Sunday, the Panthers would finish the tournament 2-3 after they fell to the Cowboys, 6-2. It was a slow scoring game. MCN took an early lead in the third inning and UNI did not tie the score until the fifth when Lange hit a homerun into deep right field. MCN opened the top of the seventh by scoring five runs off of a single, double and a homerun to top it off. Courtney Krodinger hit a homerun during her final at bat of the game, but the Cowboys would earn their victory as they made the final out of the contest.
