Dallas health worker tests positive for Ebola ASSOCIATED PRESS A “breach of protocol” at the hospital where Ebola victim Thomas Eric Duncan was treated before his death led to the infection of a health care worker with the deadly virus, and other caregivers could potentially be exposed, federal health officials said Sunday. The hospital worker, a woman who was not identified by officials, wore protective gear while treating the Liberian patient, and she has been unable to point to how the breach might have occurred, said Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Duncan was the first person in the U.S. diagnosed with Ebola. The CDC confirmed Sunday afternoon that the woman had tested positive for Ebola — the first known case of the disease

being contracted or transmitted in the U.S. The missteps with the first patient and now the infection of a caregiver raised questions about assurances given by U.S. health officials that any American hospital should be able to treat an Ebola patient and that the disease would be contained. At a briefing in Atlanta, Frieden said that at some point during Duncan’s treatment, “there was a breach in protocol, and that breach in protocol resulted in this infection.” He added that officials were “deeply concerned” by the infection of the worker. President Barack Obama asked the CDC to move as quickly as possible to investigate the incident, the White House said. Dallas police stood guard

outside her apartment complex and told people not to go inside. Officers also knocked on doors, made automated phone calls and passed out fliers to notify people within a four-block radius about the situation, although Dallas authorities assured residents the risk was confined to those who have had close contact with the two Ebola patients. The worker wore a gown, gloves, mask and shield while she cared for Duncan during his second visit to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, said Dr. Daniel Varga of Texas Health Resources, which runs the hospital. Duncan, who arrived in the U.S. from Liberia to visit family Sept. 20, first sought medical care for fever and abdominal pain Sept. 25. He told a nurse he

Beauty for the hands and feet

Bellacures salon lands in Dallas, brings first-class sterilization techniques GABRIELLA BRADLEY Style Editor gjbradley@smu.edu Since she was a little girl, Samira Far has been enchanted by the allure and luxury of the nail salon atmosphere. After hearing Barbara Streisand gush about her amazing French manicure in an interview with Oprah, Far formed the belief that to be a well puttogether woman your nails had to be equally fabulous. From then on, even if a woman had a five-carat diamond hanging from her finger or a Birkin tucked in her elbow, yet her manicure wasn’t up to par, Far couldn’t see her as “put-together.” So began a life of manicured fascination, and after 10 years of being the client, Samira has decided to become the disher of her own addiction. We have all been to the hole in the wall nail salons – the ones with the rickety massage chairs and the attendees we swear are talking about us even though we are sitting right in front of them. Although the swirling whirlpool you may be used to soaking your feet in might feel nice, what you don’t know is that it is actually a festering pool of germs and bacteria. Research

has shown that all the hair, skin and bacteria that ends up in those baths can lead to a scary experience for you feet, especially when it comes to horrifyingly dangerous infections. Even more appalling are the tools that are used. Salons have become careless with their sterilization procedures, most skipping the necessary steps to keep their utensils suitable for the next customer. From her many years of attending these sub par salons, Samira Far recognized the need for some serious change in the mani-pedi industry. So, leaving her corporate position behind, she decided to open a storefront for the nail-conscious just like her, and so Bellacures was born. If you break it down, Bellacures means “beautiful restoration,” and when it comes to your nails, what could be better? So, what is involved in the “beautiful restoration” you may ask? First, Bellacures is dedicated to top of the line sterilization practices. The salon autoclaves all of their tools and equipment, which is the same process of sterilization used by dentists and in hospitals, and to go even further, then places the tools in a sterilization pouch. The uber clean salon has also done away with the traditional

spa chairs. In their place, you can sit back and relax in their plush, cushioned couch chairs, optimal to lie back in after a long day. Also in line with their hygienic initiative, Bellacures has banished the bacteria harboring whirlpool baths and replaced them with tranquil soaking foot pools. To make sure each client is getting the highest level of cleanliness, each pool is equipped with a removable seal so clients can rest with a peace of mind that they will not be coming in contact with any kind of bacteria. To top off their long list of cleanliness procedure, the atmosphere is another aspect of the experience that is Bellacures specific. Breaking away from the cluttered, hectic scene of the regular salons, Bellacures focuses more on relaxation and rejuvenation. The nail technicians are fantastic at what they do, offering you a consistent outcome every visit. The luxuriously comfortable chairs are spaced out so that you are not on top of your fellow attendees. And the normally busy bustling atmosphere of a runof-the-mill salon is instead a space perfect for peaceful relaxation. Thirsting for a mani-pedi yet? Thankfully, the brilliant minds behind Bellacures recognized

our Texas city as a new premiere location for their upscale salon experience. “Dallas is the perfect city for Bellacures,” founder Samira Far said in a recent interview. “Dallas residents are stylish, classy and have high standards for their lifestyle that fit perfectly in line with the Bellacures’ philosophy.” So after hearing a serious amount of buzz about this new addition to the Preston Center area, I had to give it a try. Thankfully, between battling midterms and in anticipation for jetting off to New York City for Fall Break, the present moment seemed perfect. As an avid nail bitter – especially

given the stress of midterms – I go into salons with little hope of a perfect outcome. Upon walking out of Bellacures, though, I was shocked at what they were able to do. I opted for the “Gelicure Manicure” and the “Scrub-a-Dub Pedicure”. The manicure featured intense filing and shaping, as well impressive cuticle trimcare, followed by an oil treatment. By the end of the relaxing thirty minutes, my cuticles were perfectly conditioned and my stumpy nails were filed flawlessly round. The pedicure was also pure bliss. With an array of sumptuously scented lotions and sea salt scrubs, my feet were left perfectly polished

and sparkling. The long massage was so soothing it made it hard not to doze off in delight. Needless to say, I was very impressed with this new salon. The manicurist and pedicurist were incredibly skilled in transforming my nails and the whole experience was the perfect, relaxing escape from my pending nightmare exam schedule. So if you haven’t ventured to this notable mani-pedi addition to our big city, I advise you check it out stat. Because a place as fabulous as this is going to be filling up quickly and you are not going to want to miss out on this relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

Batman does ‘Birdman,’ director Inarritu goes droll ANNALEE WALTON Contributing Writer alwalton@mail.smu.edu A washed-up actor known for his iconic role as a superhero in Hollywood decides to make a comeback in the fine arts, re-establishing his career and finding himself in the process. Sound familiar? A bit like a certain Batman we all know and love? Michael Keaton stars in Alejandro Inarritu’s new film, “Birdman” or “The Unexpected Virtue of Innocence,” as a washed-up actor known for his iconic role as Birdman who writes, directs, and stars in his own play but must face a new industry, his family, as well as his past self. Many would say that this selfaware film was in fact Michael Keaton’s comeback, but just as creator Inarritu put it, “He is

one of the few persons that has worn that cape and is a pioneer of that superhero thing, but at the same time he has the craft and the range to play in drama and comedy and where very few actors in the world can do that.” With the wonderful help of Moroch partners and Fox Productions, ten college students from corners of the nation, including myself, had the marvelous opportunity to listen in on a conference call with the creator of “Birdman,” Alejandro Inarritu. Producer, writer and director, Inarritu brilliantly conveyed this film to appear as one continuous shot with the film score written as a single drum solo. When asked about the complications in blocking and shooting such a feat, Inarritu explains that although it was only 29 days of shooting, it was lots of rehearsal time in preparation.

“We rehearsed a lot before arriving to the set and so basically it was very intense and meticulous work of precision with actors and camera and the crew and everything was designed to match the needs of the film that was basically predecided in rehearsal, so it was an inverse process.” Inarritu said that during filming the irony of telling the story in the given situation was comical “because really we were laughing at ourselves, as we were doing the film about the industry that we are in, so we were reflected, so that was very funny.” This film was not only stacked with an incredible cast (Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton), but cast en punto with actors who brought their knowledge of the industry to the camera and the stage.

Michael Keaton stars as the complcated protagonist in ‘Birdman.”

ACL

ACL artists and places put in the hot seat MEREDITH CAREY Assignments Editor mbcarey@smu.edu Some Austin City Limits artists may have recycled their outfits for round two of the Fall Break favorite but the music sounded just as good. The weather didn’t quite hold up, turning Zilker Park into a veritable mud pit. Once the slipping and sliding was over, the weekend turned out to be incredible, with cooler temperatures and a killer line-up to boot. Biggest surprise: Gramatik Mixing slow jams, guitar riffs, and heavy bass beats, this DJ sampled some seriously old school music. In the type

of music that doesn’t lead to dancing but leans heavily towards head bobbing, Gramatik made the best of his hour set, leaving everyone from older adults to high schoolers in the crowd smiling and content. It wasn’t a mind-blowing show, but it surely was a happy surprise.

Best food: P. Terry’s A local staple, the burger joint is top priority for ACL and Austin visitors alike. Luckily, most of the food at the festival is under $10 but P. Terry’s is by far the best bang for your buck. At around $5 a burger, the special sauce makes this simple treat a delight.

Biggest disappointment: Iggy Azelea Granted, it may be a result of the high number of high school sophomores packed around me like sardines, but Iggy wasn’t up to snuff. She seemed bored and only sang over about half of the words in her songs, pulling out all the stops for her quickfire rap. Still, it was far from the quality on her records.

Low-key killed it: Phantogram In what was one of the best shows of the weekend, the electrorock duo brought an incredible amount of charisma to the stage. The banging songs had the whole crowd bobbing and jumping along. Lead singer Sarah Barthel’s main squeeze, Shaun White, even made an appearance in the crowd. Overall, they rocked and shut the whole crowd down.

Proper social etiquette at the gym I’m standing perched atop one of the metal steps used for vertical leap training when I catch a whiff of something. It smells like a combination of axe ocean surf mixed with Justin Timberlake-endorsed Givenchy cologne. It wouldn’t normally bother me except for two facts: I can smell it from five feet away and I can smell it in a gym. This prompted the discussion about gym etiquette. I’m not a particularly well-muscled guy. I do weightlifting to supplement my running routine for Ultimate Frisbee. This is really only my first year really lifting weights and already I have discovered the lay of the land. Hear is what I have gathered. It is rude to hover around any exercise machine or free weight while you wait for the current user to finish their exercises. It is rude to leave your weights racked. In fact, if you leave your weights racked that is considered a sign you are still using that machine. I speak on behalf of amateur lifters and the Dedman staff when I implore you to de-rack your weights. Yelling in the gym while you work out is entirely unnecessary. I understand it is a particularly difficult set, but that doesn’t mean you have to employ your orgasm noise to alert everyone to your impending success. In point of fact, breathing techniques for proper weight lifting require focusing air in your mouth and out your nose. That simple breathing method will help you focus on your muscle groups and allow for better control of your lift. For the sake of god clean up after your sweaty self. I genuinely implore you: wipe down your sweat. The service desk on the weights floor gives out

towels to anyone inside. Use them. When you do anything on your back and you leave a sweat stain imprint of your tee shirt’s design you need to wipe that away. I always get a rag. If a rag feels like too much effort, use your shirt. Please, just, keep your pits clean. A gym is a dirty place. Accept that we all bring our own funk to the weights. If you’re going to pass gas, please do it on the other side of the room no one uses. That’s all I’m going to say about that. Navigating the gym can prove particularly difficult (especially between the hours of 7 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.). Don’t be a victim of competition. Everyone is there to improve themselves and work hard. Please don’t sully such a vital, necessary place. For any amateur gym users like myself don’t be intimidated. SMU offers classes in about any physical activity you want to learn. They have personal trainers, self-guided workout routines, yoga, Zumba, spin and insanity courses. Whatever your workout preferences, please do your best to keep the gym a friendly, healthy environment.

A young girl fiercely throws punches when an interviewer asks what it means to ‘fight like a girl.’

“...for a girl” A commentary on the misrepresentation of women Earlier this year, Always released a commercial addressing the statement “like a girl.” They asked different women, men, young girls and boys what it meant to do something “like a girl.” Throwing like a girl or running like a girl. Everyone responded by doing something weak and half-heartedly, except for the young girls. It seemed the young girls did not have ideas in their heads from others or the media about what it means to do something “like a girl.” When told to run like a girl or fight like a girl, the young girls proudly ran as fast as they could and punched as hard as they could. So how come we, as women, blow off the statement “Oh, you’re smart... for a woman.” “Oh, you’re strong... for a woman?” I think society has put it into our heads that we are not as strong as men and not equal so when a statement like the above is said, we don’t flinch. We accept it. We shouldn’t accept it. Take it as an insult. Get mad. You are a woman. You are a human being. We are equals and it’ll take an uprising to change people’s minds about gender equality. We are strong because we worked hard to get there. We are intelligent because we have brains in

our heads. In the same way that women are thought of as the weaker sex, men are taught to be strong and not show emotion, making them the “dominant” sex. While feminism is seen by many as the manhating, get rid of all men ideology, it is not that at all (although “Tumblr feminism” might suggest otherwise). Feminism is defined in Webster as “the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes.” So as a human being how can you believe that everyone should not be equal? How can you not be a feminist? In order to stop oppression and gain equality, people need to stop projecting gender roles onto others and everyone must stop using “like a girl,” “feminist” and “for a woman” as an insult.

Democrat Wendy Davis has been under fire by media for running controversial ad against Greg Abott.

Wendy Davis’ controversial ad defines ‘dirty politics’ Democrat Wendy Davis recently released a new ad for her campaign titled ‘Justice.’ The video is centered around Republican competitor Greg Abott for Texas governor, who happens to be paralyzed (this piece of information will be relevant as you read on). It targets Abbott as the state’s attorney general for denying justice to accident victims although he has won millions since his accident thirty years ago. Abbott was jogging when a tree fell on him, paralyzing him from the neck down, at the age of twenty six. The beginning of the ad states he can receive “as much as $10.7 million” in compensation for the accident. The video then follows up this claim by describing court cases where Abbott has sided against disabled persons who try to sue to get their justice and focuses on Abbott’s issue of hypocrisy. According to MSNBC, there is solid evidence to support this statement despite the horrible delivery by Davis. “Since the 1990s, he’s

supported several efforts to make it harder to sue, including a controversial 2003 Texas law that capped non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases at $250,000.” And according to a Dallas Morning News report, Abbott has “tenaciously battled to block the courthouse door to disabled Texans who sue the state.” The tidbit of plain truth Davis managed to shine a light on only lasted for a short period of time. Her outrageous ad opening with a wheelchair shot looks as if she is preying on Abbott’s disability to seek attention. Davis also never recognized the misfortune of Abbott’s paralysis after the ad was released. To me, it seems like Davis is desperate to gain voters, especially with Abbott so far in the lead. Her attempt to dehumanize

her competitor by ironically targeting the most humanizing quality about him is baffling. It’s sick. She has shown no regret in releasing this ad nor has she shown any remorse for the suffering Abbott has been through, competitor or not. Davis also missed her chance to turn around the controversy behind the ad. She decided to bring on stage disabled people that she knows to speak in support of her. As this press conference goes on, a campaign staff member physically moved one of the disabled Davis supporters by dragging them across stage. She’s done a pretty good job at making people turn against her in this race. Is your campaign so bad that you now have to repeatedly highlight the fact that your opponent is in a wheelchair? Davis, you are one, coldhearted woman.

American Horror Story gets its groove back in season four Spoiler alert: If you have yet to watch the new episode of American Horror Story, please do not read on. This past Wednesday I anxiously waited for American Horror Story to load on my computer so I could watch the fourth season premiere. Titled ‘Freak Show,’ the scary series theme revolves around a traveling circus set in Jupiter, Florida. Season two and three disappointed me. The story line failed to meet the expectations of season one, and the overall “scariness” of the show declined, which made me start to lose hope in AHS. The circus theme set my expectations high. I had renewed hope for AHS this season. I wanted to see abnormal, scary characters that were so deranged I would get nightmares after watching this episode. Looking back, I should have remembered the cliché, “be careful what you wish for,” because after watching the premiere, I got zero minutes of sleep. It exceeded my expectations. The cast of characters were eccentric. The makeup and wardrobe to dress them were phenomenal. Take Sarah Paulson’s two-headed character. I was afraid that the effects would make her character seem cheesy along with the drab 1950s farm clothing, but Paulson can do no wrong. I can’t wait to see what the twins will be up to next. Evan Peters’ character also amped up the shock factor for the show. Take a devilishly handsome

man. Mutate his hands so that they look like lobster claws. Make him a carnie and a side male prostitute and what do you get? Perfection. You still get perfection. (Evan you’re a babe). Lastly, how can we forget the star of it all? Jessica Lange. With ‘Freak Show’ being her last season on AHS, I expected her character to be the most bada**, cunning and sassy. I was not disappointed. Her character Elsa is the ring leader of this freak show and she is not to be messed with. Her movie star wardrobe is on point. She plays up the accent perfectly, and no one could have pulled off that opening singing number like she did. I can’t forget to acknowledge SMU’s very own Kathy Bates playing a bearded woman, Emma Roberts playing an undercover detective (Nancy Drew part two?) and the world’s smallest woman Jyoti Amge guest starring this season. Needless to say, I am excited for what’s to come.

CAMPUS BRIEFS STREETS CONSTRUCTION — The westbound lanes of traffic on Mockingbird Lane between North Central Expressway and Airline Road/ Bush Avenue will be reduced to one lane of traffic due to construction activities. Westbound traffic will continue to be reduced to one lane until the end of October. According to an e-mail sent to SMU students, eastbound traffic will not be permitted to make left turns onto Bush Avenue from Mockingbird Lane. Commuter students should adjust their travels to campus accordingly.

had traveled from Africa, but he was sent home. He returned Sept. 28 and was placed in isolation because of suspected Ebola. He died Wednesday. Liberia is one of the three West African countries most affected by the Ebola epidemic, which has killed more than 4,000 people, according to World Health Organization figures published Friday. The others are Sierra Leone and Guinea. Texas health officials have been closely monitoring nearly 50 people who had or may have had close contact with Duncan in the days after he started showing symptoms but before he was diagnosed with the disease. The health care worker reported a fever Friday night as part of a self-monitoring regimen required by the CDC, Varga said. Another person who was described as a “close contact”

connect with their patients on a deeper level through healing words. Lucie graduated from SMU summa cum laude in 2005 with a B.B.A. degree in finance from Cox School of Business and a minor

of the health worker has been proactively placed in isolation, he added, without elaborating on where that person is being monitored. The hospital said its emergency department is diverting ambulances to other hospitals, though still accepting walk-in patients. Frieden said officials are now evaluating and will monitor any workers who may have been exposed while Duncan was in the hospital. Among the things the CDC will investigate is how the workers took off protective gear, because removing it incorrectly can lead to contamination. Investigators will also look at dialysis and intubation — the insertion of a breathing tube in a patient’s airway. Both procedures have the potential to spread the virus. “We knew a second case could be a reality, and we’ve been preparing for this possibility,” said Dr. David Lakey, commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health

Services. “We are broadening our team in Dallas and working with extreme diligence to prevent further spread.” Health care workers treating Ebola patients are among the most vulnerable, even if wearing protective gear. A Spanish nurse assistant recently became the first health care worker infected outside West Africa during the ongoing outbreak. She helped care for two priests who were brought to a Madrid hospital and later died. More than 370 health care workers in West Africa have fallen ill or died since the epidemic began earlier this year. In the health worker’s neighborhood, one police officer said an industrial barrel outside contained hazardous waste taken from inside the building. Nearby residents periodically came out of their homes to ask about the commotion. Kara Lutley, who lives a halfblock from the complex, said she never received a call or other emergency notice and first heard

about it on the news. “I’m not overly concerned that I’ll get Ebola,” she said. Officials said they also received information that there may be a pet in the health care worker’s apartment, and they have a plan in place to care for the animal. They do not believe the pet has signs of having contracted Ebola. A dog belonging to the Spanish nurse was euthanized, drawing thousands of protests. Ebola spreads through close contact with a symptomatic person’s bodily fluids, such as blood, sweat, vomit, feces, urine, saliva or semen. Those fluids must have an entry point, like a cut or scrape or someone touching the nose, mouth or eyes with contaminated hands, or being splashed. The World Health Organization says blood, feces and vomit are the most infectious fluids, while the virus is found in saliva mostly once patients are severely ill. The whole live virus has never been culled

from sweat. Duncan came to Dallas to visit his family. The trip was the culmination of decades of effort, friends and family members said. But when Duncan arrived in Dallas, though he showed no symptoms, he had already been exposed to Ebola. His neighbors in Liberia believe Duncan become infected when he helped a pregnant neighbor who later died from it. It was unclear if he knew about her diagnosis before traveling. On Saturday, customs and health officials began taking the temperatures of passengers arriving at New York’s Kennedy International Airport from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea in a stepped-up screening effort. The screenings will expand to four additional airports — New Jersey’s Newark Liberty, Washington Dulles, Chicago O’Hare and Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta — in the coming days.

SMU ATHLETICS

VOLLE YBALL

Donovan Landon speaks at PwC Athletic Forum after US appearance ANDREW HATTERSLEY Contributing Writer ahattersley@smu.edu Just three days removed from making his final appearance for the U.S national team, Landon Donovan was at the SMU PwC Athletic Forum as a guest speaker. After 16 years travelling all over the world to Europe and South America, Donovan is ready to travel to those places again, this time to relax. “There’s a lot of places that I’ve been to that I just haven’t had the opportunity to see much of,” said Donovan, ”I’ve been all over Europe but I haven’t seen much of Europe so I want to do that. I’ve only been to Brazil and Argentina in South America, so I’d love to go to parts of South America I haven’t been to.” After taking some time off, Donovan noted coaching is a possibility for him because of all he has been able to learn over the last 16 years.

“The cool thing about being in this game for 16 years is you learn a lot, and you see a lot, and if you’re paying attention, it’s as good an education as you’re going to get.” The U.S. legend has had a hectic last couple of weeks balancing his time with the U.S. national team and the ongoing playoff run the Galaxy have been focused on. Donovan wishes he could have enjoyed these last moments more but knows there is still a job to be done. “I enjoyed the stuff around the national team but now I feel an obligation to help my team do well with the Galaxy,” said Donovan, “I’d like to enjoy it more but I understand this is my last chance at this so I want to make the most of it.” Although his time is up with the national team, Donovan has high hopes for the future of the United States soccer but stressed patience to all fans. “We have a term that we like

to use and that is slow growth, and I think people, especially in society today, want things to happen quickly, but major league soccer has done a great job building slowly. The national team has done a great job building slowly, and it’s only a matter of time before we’re one of the dominant teams in the world.”

SOCCER

SMU soccer looks to extend unbeaten streak DEMETRIO TENIENTE Associate Sports Editor dteniente@smu.edu On Wednesday, SMU will take a brief break from American Athletic Conference play and host Central Arkansas at Westcott Field. The Mustangs boats a 6-1 record at home in 2014 (including conference record of 2-0). Central Arkansas has a 2-8-0 overall record and a 0-3-0 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Bears are led in points by Wes Carson’s four (2g). Manuel Montal also leads Central Arkansas with three assists.

Central Arkansas’ goalkeeper Harrison Veith has played 900 minutes (a team-high) and boats a 1.70 goals-against-average with 33 saves. SMU currently holds the longest unbeaten streak in the American Athletic conference at seven matches (6-0-1), with UConn being the next closest team with three (2-0-1). Junior Idrissa Camara leads the way for SMU with four goals. Sophomore Stanton Garcia has three, junior John Lujano has two (off penalty kicks) and Damian Rosales has scored a goal in each of the last two matches. Eight

other Mustangs each add a scorebrining SMU’s total to 19 goals. SMU goalkeeper Michael Nelson leads the Mustangs defense and owns a 0.71 goalsagainst-average, while first-years Jordan Cano, Bryce Clark, Jared Rice and Garrett Welch have started every home match on the back line. The Mustangs are undefeated (2-0) against Central Arkanas all-time. None of the previous match ups have been close- , SMU defeated UCA 3-0 in 2007 and 5-1 in 2008. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. CT with live stats and video available at SMUMustangs.com.

The Mustangs hosted their annual Dig Pink match against Houston Friday for a 3-1 victory in Moody Coliseum. That win pushed SMU to 14-3 overall and 3-2 in the American Athletic Conference. Mustang Abbey Bybel led SMU with 13 kills, while Morgan Heise had helped with her 26 digs. The Mustangs knocked Houston to 9-8 overall and 1-4 in The American. The Mustangs came out strong in the first set scoring 10 points before Houston could even score its fourth. SMU pushed the lead by 10, 17-7 and finished the game with ease, 25-13. The second set looked the same as the Mustangs came out strong, pushing the score to an 11-5 lead early. Houston scored three straight after that to cut the lead to three, 11-8, but SMU didn’t stop there. They went on a 9-2 run for a 20-10 lead. With a nine-point lead, 22-13, the Cougars took a 5-1

run to battle back, cutting the lead down to only 23-18. SMU scored the next two points to end the set, 25-18. Standout, Bybel, again had four kills, leading the Mustangs in the set, and SMU defense recorded four blocks. The third set was a different story as Houston battled back, forcing a fourth set after a 25-23 win for the Cougars. Houston scored back-to-back kills after taking a timeout to break a 23-23 tie for the victory. In the fourth set the Mustangs started with a 10-2 run and breezed through the match with a 25-14 win. Houston never got within seven points of the Mustangs the rest of the set. First-year Katie Hegarty scored the final kill of the match for SMU. Hegarty played front row in place of injured Mustang, Caroline Young. Hegarty finished with 11 kills, hitting .300 in her first start. The weekend didn’t end there for the Mustangs. They went on to host Tulane Sunday at 1 p.m.,

ending in a 3-2 victory for SMU. This marked SMU head coach Lisa Seifert’s 300th career victory at SMU. Bybel led the Mustangs again with 14 kills and had 11 digs for her eighth double-double of the season. SMU is now 15-3 overall, 4-2 in the AAC. SMU setter, Avery Acker, posted her 13th double-double of the season with 47 assists and 12 digs. Hegarty and Kristen Stehling each had 11 kills while Janelle Giordano finished with 10, putting four SMU attackers in double figures. Giordano and Hegarty also accounted for eight of the Mustangs 12 blocks. SMU heads to Tulsa Wednesday for a 7 p.m. game. The Mustangs will then head home to take on East Carolina Sunday in Moody Coliseum. After that, SMU will be on the road for fourstraight road matches.
