ROTC Strong: Cadets on Campus Behind the history and day-to-day efforts of the Hoya Battalion CONNOR VALAIK Hoya Staff Writer

It’s a surprise that so few students know about the Georgetown Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, an organization that can trace its roots back to the founding of Georgetown and has impressed the likes of George Washington and Andrew Jackson. Ranked first in the nation, the ROTC program

has been a part of campus culture since the university’s early days and is an integral part of the Hilltop experience for the approximately 30 students who take part in it.

The Georgetown ROTC program is part of the Hoya Battalion, which is comprised of students from five different academic institutions: American University, Catholic University, The George

Washington University, the Institute for World Politics and Georgetown. In total, the battalion consists of around 125 cadets, approximately one-fourth of whom attend Georgetown. The goal of the program is to prepare young men and women in college to be officers in the U.S. Army.

The Battalion is unmistakably good at producing talented officers. It was ranked the number

one senior battalion in the country out of a total of 272 programs.

In fact, former Army Chief of Staff George Casey (SFS ’70) graduated from Georgetown’s program.

Although the program can trace its origins to the inception of Georgetown — the first Georgetown student was also the first Georgetown College cadet — it didn’t officially start until the 1830s. The program has been active since then, commissioning more than 4,100 officers and participating in every major military conflict. For the Hoya Battalion, this rich history is a point of pride.

The battalion’s past would not be as impressive without the dayto-day hard work demanded of the cadets. Georgetown ROTC members attend a special three-hour class once a week and have physical training early in the morning three times a week, along with a number of other activities. They also spend eight total days in the field doing training exercises throughout the year. For Cadet Sergeant Jake Green (SFS ’15), his commitment is a couple of hours per day. Cadet Major and Battalion Executive officer Ryan Gildersleeve (SFS ’14) clocks in 30 to 40 hours on a slow week and 50 to 60 hours in the ROTC office during a busy week.

In addition, after a cadet’s junior year, there is a mandatory month-long training program.

Finding Her Place on Campus: A Century of Change Kim Bussing Hoya Staff Writer

Dwight Eisenhower has just been inaugurated as president. Julius and Ethel Rosenberg have been executed. The first successful open-heart surgery has been performed in Philadelphia. All of this happened in 1953. And Georgetown’s School of Foreign Service just opened its doors to the Class of 1957, which, for the first time, would officially include women.

Female students at Georgetown were not an entirely new development in the 1950s. The Georgetown University Hospital Training School for Nurses, now the School of Nursing & Health Studies, has admitted women since its founding in 1903. (Its first graduating class was entirely female.) The College would remain strictly male until 1969.

Marianne Delaney Melley (SFS ’56) enrolled in the SFS in January 1954, the fifth woman to do so, following a group of four female students who began the previous fall. When Melley initially applied, Georgetown wasn’t open to women. But she knew she wanted to go into the foreign service, so she transferred from Dunbarton College of the Holy Cross as soon as the opportunity opened.

“I just took my transcript and got on a bus to D.C. and got into the school,” Melley said.

The application process was relatively simple — “Not at all what it’s like today,” Melley said — although later, records would show the standard of academic excellence to which women in the early coed years of the College were held was significantly higher than it was for men.

Though the SFS’s decision to admit women was a breakthrough, Melley recalled that attitudes on the Hilltop didn’t change immediately.

“It was an interesting feeling. There were 1,160 students, and only five were women,” Melley said. “A couple of the priests didn’t want to teach women.”

No dorms were available for women because the female students in the nursing school were only day students. Athletic programs were closed to women. The only extracurricular available to Melley was working on the staff of the SFS journal, The Courier. But socially, Melley didn’t encounter a severe gender disconnect.

“I had great classmates. Everyone was very nice,” she said. “We all met in the

In the academic sphere, she also found exactly what she had hoped to find at Georgetown: a challenging environment that encouraged growth and provoked thought.

“I loved everything about it. I never worked so hard in my life,” Melley said.

However, with only six units left to complete her degree, Melley left Georgetown to move to Switzerland with her fiance. According to Melley, at the time, a woman with a college degree had only three options: to become a nurse, a teacher or a secretary.

After living in Switzerland and then London for six years, Melley returned to the States with her husband and child.

Melley always inteded to return to Georgetown, but became increasingly involved in raising seven children and running the operations of her husband’s business.

Nearly 20 years after Melley first arrived on campus, Georgetown had been transformed in many ways, but

among the first crop of female students.

“There were a small number of professors who required women to wear skirts to class, but, by and large, I didn’t experience any noticeable discrimination in the majority of my classes,” Morris said.

During her time at Georgetown, Morris was involved in tutoring projects and language clubs to supplement her studies as a German and Russian double major, but she said life has improved for female students over the past few decades.

“There is a much higher percentage of female faculty on MARIANNE DELANEY MELLEY (SFS ’56) campus today, so students today have forded any of these privileges. First- both male and female role models. This year female students had to adhere to really makes a difference,” Morris said.

Today, 55 percent of Georgetown’s a curfew; no such requirement existed student body is female. But female stufor their male counterparts.

But even with these disparities, dents still face obstacles on campus, Georgetown continued to focus on and the Women’s Center was launched working to create a campus where, at in 1990 as a space for women to conleast in the realm of academia, there vene and address the problems they were virtually no dissimilarities be- face on campus, ranging from general attitudes to sexual assault. tween the genders.

“The Women’s Center continues Marcia Morris (FLL ’74), a professor of Slavic languages at Georgetown, was to address many of the same issues, gender divides persisted. Before the College opened its doors to women, Darnall Hall (named for Eleanor Darnall, the mother of Georgetown University founder John Carroll) and St. Mary’s Hall had been converted to dorms for female students. Except for two floors in Copley Hall, all dorms were single-sex. While male students always had maids who helped tidy and do laundry, women were not af-

because unfortunately, they are still a part of our reality,” Laura Kovach, the center’s director, said. “Women use our space to address these issues and find support.”

On many fronts, female students have made progress. Lizzy MacGill (COL ’14) is CEO of Students of Georgetown Inc., and the Georgetown University Alumni and Student Federal Credit Union’s seven-member board of directors includes two women. GUASFCU’s last female CEO was Katie Cohen (COL ’12), from March 2011 to March 2012.

But one leader does not always guarantee institutional change. Though Clara Gustafson (SFS ’13) and Vail KohnertYount (SFS ’13) led the Georgetown University Student Association last year, gender disparities still exist within the student government.

GUSA Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Peterson (COL ’14) in an op-ed in The Hoya (“ElectHer to GUSA Senate,” A3, Sept. 24, 2013) highlighted the dearth of female representation in the GUSA senate, which is currently 25 percent female, and urged women to run for senate seats. She identified many of the same problems women face on a national scale as factors that prevent parity in student government.

“Women have had fewer role models in the public sphere, and there are not a lot of women leaders to look to. It creates a trickle-down effect with certain gender norms,” Peterson wrote.

Student groups like Women in Politics, GU Women of Color and Georgetown University Women in Leadership promote female leadership, while Take Back the Night and R U Ready sexual assault. The two issues go hand in hand, Peterson said.

“Campuses will never be equal until you eradicate sexual harassment and discrimination. We’re trying to tackle these issues and make campuses more welcoming for women,” Peterson said.

While these resources represent leaps forward from what Melley had when she arrived on the Hilltop, more remains to be done to achieve equality on campus.

Georgetown has shifted from being an all-male university with only a few restricted spots available for women to a global institution with women leaders and both institutional and studentrun organizations to incorporate the female campus population.

“It was a great experience,” said Melley. “Those are memories I treasure.”

Apple Recaptures a Slice Searching for Scooter-Man Of the Pie With iOS 7

E

arlier this month, Apple announced the long-awaited iPhone 5S. For the first time in the company’s history, they also released a second phone at the same time: the 5C. Designed to compete with archrival Samsung in emerging markets like India and China, the 5C opts for a plastic shell over the pricier aluminum, a variety of color choices and hardware components of a slightly lower grade than that of the 5S. However, at a steep $550, is the phone really cheap enough to attract consumers in the target markets?

Mobile companies in India and China typically do not subsidize phones when consumers sign a two-year contract as they do in the U.S. Customers in those markets will have to pay the price of the phone in full. Bargain-seeking consumers in these markets have a plethora of dramatically cheaper Android devices from companies like Samsung and Huawei, so will the price drop be enough to attract consumers that want an Apple device but are unwilling or unable to shell out the extra $200 for a 5S? The Apple brand name has proven to be wildly successful in the past, and consumers have consistently demonstrated they are willing Henry to stomach a high price to own an Apple device. Additionally, multiple color choices such as pink, green, blue and yellow are likely to appeal to a younger generation of smartphone users. With more than 400 million smartphone users in China alone, an increase in market share could mean soaring profits for the company. Provided the powers that be at Apple did not overestimate the value of their product, the iPhone 5C could prove to be just the catalyst needed to solidify Apple’s presence in developing markets.

Along with the new devices, Apple also released iOS 7. Unlike previous updates to the operating system, iOS 7 introduces a dramatical new look and adds a few new features as well.

Many users may have been shocked by the change or even thought that their phone had some kind of problem. If you take the time to find your way around it, however, iOS 7 makes everyday tasks simpler, improves the iPhone

experience and provides a much needed catch-up to competing operating systems.

The most dramatic change is the complete visual overhaul. The update changes the appearance of literally everything. Apple eliminated the elements that make icons look like leather or felt and the 3D bubble-shaped theme.

Flat graphics and a bright, pastel color scheme bring an elegant look. Despite the changes, the operating system is easy to pick up, as it functions more or less the same as earlier iOS updates.

One of the new features to come to iOS 7 is the Control Center, which puts your most-used settings front and center and is available from any screen. In iOS 7, you can swipe up from the bottom of the display to bring up quick-access tools, such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth access, brightness, airplane mode and music controls. The Control Center also integrates a flashlight tool and quick access to setting an alarm or opening the calculator or camera.

Other new features include a dramatic update to the outdated Safari, which adds useful features such as a unified search and URL field and more flexibility Parrott with open browser windows -- instead of swiping left and right to view open tabs, they now preview as vertically scrolling rectangular cards. You’re no longer limited to just eight tabs, and you can swipe to the side to close them.

Apple also added a nice selection of new camera features, the peer-to-peer file-sharing service from OSX called AirDrop, iTunes Radio and a great upgrade to Siri, making it even more feasible as an alternative way to navigate your phone with increased integration of Twitter, email, and other apps.

Overall, iOS 7 is a much needed update that provides users with the same functionality they would find on other operating systems. It was a big month for Apple, and this round of new devices and updates may turn out to be their most successful release to date.

Special to The Hoya

In a rush and needing a quick meal, I decided to make a stop at Leo’s. As I headed out of the doors of New South, I began the short stroll toward the dining hall; that’s when it happened. Suddenly, I heard the whirring of wheels on concrete, and when I turned to investigate, I noticed the enigma that is Scooter-Man. He was speeding down the hill, heading dangerously rapidly toward the curb. Conventional wisdom and ’80s movies have taught me that, in moments like this, life is supposed to slow down.

Scooter-Man, however, was not inclined to slow down for anything. Exhibiting split-second timing and moment-tomoment reflexes — traits only a true scooter enthusiast can possess — he nimbly leapt onto the curb and snatched his ride along with him. Baffled, I watched as he proceeded to calmly walk into Leo’s. Apparently, such dazzling displays of dexterity are common occurrences in the life of Scooter-Man. Why exactly is this particular mode of transportation gaining popularity among students? To the casual observer, the scooter

may seem silly or ineffective. But if we put aside our preconceived notions and examine scooter use objectively, maybe we can begin to see its allure.

“I use it to get everywhere. I take it to class, I take it to meetings. It’s my go-to,” Adam Ramadan (SFS ’14) said.

Ignacio de Lera (MSB ’17) has been at Georgetown for only a few weeks, and he’s already found his ideal mode of transportation.

“About two weeks after arriving on campus, I was so tired of walking I decided to go on Amazon to buy a new scooter,” de Lera said.

To many it may seem odd to choose a scooter over the more traditional bicycle, but de Lera has a different perspective.

“If you have a bike, you have to know where to find a bike rack ahead of time. With the scooter, you don’t have to worry about that. With a scooter, you just ride to class — or wherever you’re going — fold it up and you’re good to go.”

There was a genuine look of excitement on de Lera’s face, and he began to make a pretty compelling case for joining the scooterriding community.

“Look, people don’t like going to places when it means taking

a long walk; with [a scooter], it’s only a $60 investment, and you can ride it anywhere, you can feel the wind in your face and you save energy,” he said.

For upperclassmen, it can make a world of difference.

“I can make it from my place in Burleith to Lau in four minutes,” said Ramadan. “In terms of being efficient, it has improved my life.

I don’t think people realize that it makes things so much easier when getting across campus.”

Cannon Warren (SFS ’14), however, is reluctant in welcoming more students into this trending mode of transportation. When I asked Warren if he could make a persuasive case for other students to buy scooters, he demurred.

“I won’t do that,” Warren said.

“I look cooler if I’m the only one with a scooter. If too many other people get scooters, I’ll probably have to switch to inline blades.”

Aside from sparking my imagination with the thought of swarms of inline-skating students scurrying about M Street and weaving through traffic, Warren also told me about his reasons for making the switch from bike to scooter.

“My freshman year, I had a bike; it was convenient because I lived in Darnall. But once I moved into Copley, I found that, without bike racks, a scooter was just much more convenient.”

Warren went on to say that his scooter was particularly useful for navigating Copley’s halls. “While I’m not sure if the use of scooters indoors is endorsed by the university, I have it on good authority that it’s quite a good time.”

Whether like you think that scooter use should be exclusive, or you want all the campus to ride along with you, one thing remains abundantly clear: Scooters aren’t going anywhere. The tiny two-wheeled contraptions are simply too convenient. Far cheaper than a decent bicycle, highly portable and with less of a learning curve than longboards, the scooter was made for Georgetown students.

COURTESY ROTC

The Hoya Battalion has sent student soldiers to every major military conflict that has occured since the group was formed.

Training to Be Tomorrow’s Leaders ROTC, from B1 like Air Assault School or Army Airborne School during the summer.

With such a busy schedule, it’s hard to imagine how these cadets are able to balance academics, ROTC and their other activities, because being a cadet in ROTC at Georgetown does not exclude the participants from being involved in other extracurriculars. “We’re pretty fun people. We do our ROTC thing and we love that, but we also love other things,” Cadet Private First Class Brenna Muldrow (MSB ’16) said. Muldrow is also an MSB peer ambassador and works three parttime jobs. (Muldrow also works in The Hoya’s corporate development department.)

Even senior officers balance the time they spend with ROTC with other campus activities. Gildersleeve participated in the now-disbanded mixed martial arts group and coordinated Georgetown Opportunities for Leadership Development last year.

engage in these activities because of his increased time commitment to ROTC. In the past few years, ROTC members have petitioned the university to expand the same registration privileges given to varsity athletes to cadets in order to help accommodate their busy schedules. Members have argued that their time commitments are similar to that of a varsity athlete, and they therefore deserve the same treatment.

With the intense time commitment, one could see why it might be hard for cadets to feel at home at Georgetown. Their offices were pushed off-campus due to a divide between the university and the program that emerged during Vietnam War protests and pressures.

Although tensions between the university and the program have since dissipated, members do not feel completely immersed in campus culture.

Socially, however, the cadets don’t have too hard of a time integrating into the Georgetown community. Although they build strong bonds with their fellow ROTC cadets, they have diverse friend groups.

“I’ve made some of the best friends of my life outside of ROTC here,” Green said.

There’s also a general ignorance among the Georgetown community about ROTC. “A lot of people consider anybody in the military to be extremely conservative and all these other things. You’ll find that a lot of the cadets come from very different backgrounds, be it politically or socially,” Gildersleeve said.

Another common misconception is what happens to cadets upon graduation. Juniors in the program must commit to eight years of total service. Muldrow would like to make a career out of her military service by serving twenty years, but others, like Green, just plan on seeing where the army takes them.

Even if it doesn’t end up shaping their careers, ROTC defines students’ lives on campus.

As people trickled into the theater, bits of Spanish phrases blended with the laughter of a couple in the front row and the rustling of a potato chip bag. The 24th annual AFI Latin American Film Festival in Silver Spring, Md., was underway. Despite typically attracting a large audience, the enormous theater was less than a quarter full. Then again, it was a Monday night.

This year’s Latin American Film Festival runs from Sept. 19 to Oct. 9, featuring more than 40 films centered on Latin American politics and community, with topics ranging from dictatorship to reinterpretations of Shakespeare.

Some of the movies have won international awards, while others are debuts for new directors.

A student ticket, which includes the movie and sometimes a question and answer session with the director, costs $10. Occasionally, there is even a reception sponsored by an embassy.

The interesting films, English subtitles and Metro-accessible location draw a diverse crowd. Like the crowd at many popular D.C. attractions, however, most of the patrons at the Latin American Film Festival have been attending for years.

The festival’s diverse aray of Latin American films, plus a few from Spain and Portugal, is difficult to find elsewhere — a fact appreciated by Magda León, originally from Colombia, and Ameri-

ca Calderón, originally from Guatemala. The pair, who now live locally, has been coming to the festival for about 10 years after seeking something like it out. “[The Latin American Film Festival] is the only place where you can see Latin American film, nonHollywood movies.” León said. “[The films] address topics that aren’t addressed often, [especially those concerning] the issues of life in Latin America.”

Monday night’s showing exemplified this spirit of embracing Latin American directors. On Monday night, the film playing was La Paz, directed by Santiago Loza.

This coming-of-age movie traces the story of an Argentine man named Liso. Newly released from a psychiatric hospital, Liso moves in with his parents. However, his restrictive upper middle-class existence does nothing to improve his mental health. His slightly Freudian relationship with his mother and his father’s insistence on hours of shooting practice wear on him. He begins to withdraw even further from Argentine society and confide in his mother’s Bolivian housekeeper. Eventually, Liso is forced to re-evaluate his life completely, and the movie takes a much-needed turn.

Although La Paz won the award for Best Argentine Film at the 2013 Buenos Aires International Festival of Independent Cinema, its slow pace left a lot to be desired. Born in Córdoba, Argentina and a former student of multiple Argentine film schools, Loza is the ideal director for a movie in

CALANDA PRODUCCIONES

La Paz follows the story of a young man finding his way. the AFI film festival. However, La Paz was exceedingly slow, especially in comparison to the other movies being shown. It only took looking at the man sleeping a few rows over to realize that Luzo might have benefited from a few more exciting scenes, or at least fewer scenes featuring Liso lying in bed, staring wistfully off into space.

The AFI Latin American Film Festival is a great experience, with unique cultural opportunities — just check which movie is playing before you make the trek to Silver Spring.

Fitness to Shape Your Mind, Body and Soul F

itness. You hear the word thrown around all the time.

Magazine headlines promise miraculous exercise regimes.

Advertisements dangle tempting clothing, gear and hot bodies as motivation to finally start working out. Cookbooks promote recipes to give you that six-pack without even heading to the gym. Other words like “wellness” and “health” are used almost interchangeably.

For me, fitness isn’t a tyrannical diet or a maniacal workout plan. It is knowing, challenging and nourishing your mind, body and soul.

It’s about balance. I like fruit. I also like frosting. Wellness isn’t a “onesize-fits-all” concept or a certain body type. What do these words really mean, and what do they mean to you?

Aziz Saqr (NHS ’16) said, “If I’m eating healthy and staying con-

sistent with my workouts, then I would consider myself fit.” Ava Arroyo (SFS ’16) added, “When I think of the word ‘fit’ I automatically think of someone who is healthy and strong for their own body!”

Ryan Greene (COL ’16) also sees fitness holistically. “Fitness is living in a way that leaves you feeling happy with your physical wellbeing. Fitness isn’t about looking a certain way; it’s about maintaining a certain lifestyle that makes you feel comfortable with who you are,” he said. Certain members of the student population with attractive physiques were also mentioned as examples; you can wonder to yourself who they may be.

Balance is one of the most important aspects in my version of fitness. I’m eating a chocolate chip cookie and drinking a chai tea latte as I write this piece. Some

might see this as unhealthy, but for me, it’s the opposite: a reward for running six miles this morning and a calming influence as I struggle through the Sunday afternoon workload. I don’t feel guilty about it and you shouldn’t either!

You have to know when to be kind

Kylie Mohr to your body and mind to be fit.

My twin brother Kellen is fit, but not in the conventional sense of the word. I always tease him for being skinny because he never “works out.” He wants nothing to do with interval training or weight lifting after four years of

cross-country and a season rowing crew. He looks at me like I’m crazy if I suggest we should be workout buddies, and he makes fun of me whenever I mention hot yoga. He also eats copious amounts of ice cream, but that’s a whole other story.

How can he be one of the strongest guys I know? Kellen bombs down powder-filled tree glades and jumps off cliffs; I follow and then complain about my burning legs.

He walks on a slackline backwards and forwards with ease; I’m ecstatic to take more than a couple steps.

I’m amazed at how he can tirelessly walk for miles whenever we go hiking or camping together while I’m panting and adjusting my heavy pack every mile. All of this without a single “workout.” Kellen stays fit by doing the things he loves. I’ve deemed him “fit for life.”

When it comes down to it, we should all strive to be fit for life.

Not someone else’s life, not the “ideal” life, but your life, … whatever that may be. If you never set foot in Yates but you bike everywhere, that’s great for you — and even better for the environment.

If you want to go to the gym and pump iron for those impeccable biceps, I will applaud you — and probably check you out. Run a marathon, walk to CVS, be a vegetarian, eat bacon — just bacon — for breakfast, practice yoga, learn how to unicycle. The opportunities are endless. Do whatever makes you feel happy with your body and your mind. That’s what fitness really is.

Brazilian Eatery Struggles To Turn Up the Heat ALLISON HILLSBERY Special to The Hoya

The Grill from Ipanema (a clever play on the Grammy-winning classic of 1965) is touted by its owners and by many local foodies as the only authentic Brazilian restaurant in town.

Chef Alcy de Souza immigrated to the United States in 1987 with the vision of creating a chic and modern establishment while still remaining true to the flavors and traditions of his Brazilian heritage. Located in the cultural and gastronomic hub that is Adams Morgan, this family-owned eatery has been serving up delicious cuisine indigenous to the country’s many different regions for over 20 years.

Upon walking through the door, my friend and I were greeted and seated immediately by the friendly Brazilian hostess. Our server then explained several of the dishes and helped us select ones that would complement each other.

For our appetizer, we ordered the Coxinha de Galhina, which is a dish of lightly breaded balls of chicken and cheese served with a spicy sauce.

This traditional snack, which literally translates to “little thigh,” was the perfect balance of crispy, fried crust and gooey, flavorful filling.

For our entree, we decided on the moqueca a Baiana, a slow-cooked fish stew native to the Bahia region of northeast Brazil.

The base of this stew is a waterless blend of palm oil, coconut milk, cilantro, tomato, onions, scallions and green pepper. Restaurant patrons have the option to choose between fish, shrimp, squid or mixed seafood moqueca for their stew. We opted for the mixed and were pleasantly surprised by both the large amount of seafood in the dish and the pleasant texture of the meat. It was brought to the table, still sizzling, in a rustic clay pot and served with white rice and a fish broth yucca puree. For those who may not know, yucca is a starchy vegetable similar to the potato and is a staple of the South American diet. This puree was a substantial and saucy complement to the rice and moqueca, which are meant to be eaten together.

My one critique about this dish is that it was very mild. Patrons are asked how spicy they would like the dish to be when they order and

THE GRILL FROM IPANEMA

 1858 Columbia Road NW cuisine: Brazilian price: $$$$ I asked that ours be prepared “medium.” If you are a fan of spicy food, I have no doubt that you can get it here, but you must be sure to emphasize this request.

For dessert, we had the pudim de coco, or coconut flan. As cliche as it may sound, the folks at The Grill from Ipanema truly do save the best for last. The thick custard dish was decadent and rich, with an almost paradoxically light, melt-in-your-mouth texture. It was served with freshly shaved coconut and strawberries, the perfect culinary glimpse into the tropical flavors of Brazil.

One thing we, as freshmen, were unfortunately unable to partake in was the restaurant’s extensive wine list and wellknown authentic mixed cocktails. In lieu of first-hand recommendation, the general consensus among legal drinkers is that the caipirinhas are a must. This drink, listed as a “Brazilian favorite,” is comprised of cachaca (a strong sugarcane liquor), fresh-squeezed lime juice and sugar.

Fortunately, for the average college student, The Grill from Ipanema offers upscale dining without the budget-busting price tag. We were able to get white table cloths, excellent service and a delicious meal for about $25 per person.

The 2.4 mile walk is more than worth it and totally doable; it winds through some of the most picturesque streets of D.C. and past several embassies. For those in more of a hurry or who prefer public transport, it is a quick 18 minute ride on the Metro into Adams Morgan from the Rosslyn station.

Upscale Fusion Pleases SCION

2100 P St. NW cuisine: American price: $$$$

 CHARLOTTE GLASSER Special to The Hoya

When looking for a restaurant with great ambience and sensational entrees, one need look no further than Scion, located in Dupont Circle.

Ranked the winner of the Best New Restaurant in Washington, D.C. in 2010 by Washington City Paper, Scion serves up contemporary American cuisine with international influences and prides itself on being a welcoming feature of the neighborhood. Upon arriving, customers can choose between two charming seating areas: the atrium, with flower boxes and an impressive street view, or an indoor portion featuring large photographs of the D.C. area. The inviting atmosphere of Scion is the ideal place for a special occasion or a great place to consider for parents weekend.

Scion is home to both brunch, lunch and dinner and the menus fuse together a medley of traditional American food with international cuisine for savory dishes.

Plenty of gluten-free and vegan options are offered as well, so the menus are accessible to all diners.

I began the night with the fried pickles; served with a tangy yogurt and dill sauce, they were the perfect way to begin the meal and were thin enough so that the salty flavor was not overwhelming. For those seeking something more indulgent, order the honey glazed baked brie, served on crostini with toasted almonds and strawberry preserves, or the Five Cheese House Recipe mac and cheese.

Pair your appetizer with one of Scion’s cleverly named specialty cocktails. If you’re in the mood for something fruity, try Planet of the Grapes, a citrusy combination of Smirnoff White Grape, champagne, grapefruit and lemon. For dessert before the main meal, order Death by Chocolate, a rich blend of Patron XO Dark, Baileys, Smirnoff Espresso and caramel syrup.

It not only cut like warm butter, but was finished off with a rich brandy mushroom sauce, a colorful mountain of roasted potatoes and freshly steamed broccoli, all of which were delicious. Everything paired perfectly together and was immensely satisfying. The sake teriyaki chicken was liberally doused with both the teriyaki sauce and sweet, tropical fruit salsa. The interesting combination of flavors was tempered by the neutrality of the wild rice and a medley of grilled bell peppers. The portions were generous enough to necessitate takeout boxes.

The entrees demanded a return visit, since the contemporary twists on American dishes included mac and cheese with lobster meat, bacon and jalapeno and Mediterranean duck pasta with shredded duck ragu, spinach, feta, pine nuts and cavatappi pasta. Despite the decadent pairings of rich ingredients, the prices are reasonable and nothing rises beyond $25.

However, the meal ended with minor disappointment.

Although the hot chocolate lava cake was wonderfully presented with chocolate shavings and warm, gooey cake, it lacked the exceptional quality of the rest of the meal. The huge gobs of whipped cream detracted from the taste of the chocolate, and the caketo-whipped cream ratio was highly skewed. For those with a sweet tooth, however, have no fear. Scion has a wide variety of desserts, from a classic cheesecake to a pomegranate walnut creme brulee that hopefully will stand out more than the lava cake.

Overall, the service was very friendly but very slow to clear the plates and bring a check as business picked up.

If you’re looking to head out for a good meal, Scion’s food is delicious. The quality of the meals stands up to the standard set by its slightly high prices without being outrageously expensive. Scion is an excellent place for special occasions, but not the best place for the college student looking for a night off from his usual pizza or microwavable noodles.

HAPPY HOUR FROZEN GRAPE SANGRIA

delish.com Although autumn technically began last Sunday, it is never too late to whip up a drink created with some refreshing summer fruit. Sipping a glass of frozen grape sangria will bring you back to fun summer nights spent on the beach.

Cut 4 cups of seedless green grapes in half, core and chop 1 large Granny Smith apple and thinly slice 1 lemon. Freeze 3 cups of the grapes for at least 25 minutes. Add the rest of the grapes, apple, lemon, 1/4 cup of sugar, 2 bottles of chilled red wine (a medium-bodied wine like Merlot will work best), 1 cup of chilled Concord grape juice and 1/2 cup of vodka into a large pitcher. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until chilled. Garnish 8 glasses with the remaining grapes.

FALL FESTIVE-TINI

allrecipes.com This drink takes a traditional apple martini and infuses it with the tastes of fall. Updates to the martini include adding apple cider (rather than a customary apple liqueur) and ginger ale along with the more subtle addition of pear vodka and peach schnapps. Out with the apple-tini of the summer and in with the rejuvenated Festive-tini; fall is upon us whether you like it or not.

In a cocktail shaker, pour 1 1/2 oz. of pear vodka, 1 1/2 oz. of peach schnapps, 1 3/4 oz. of apple cider and 1 1/2 oz. of ginger ale over ice. Shake until shaker has frosted over. Pour into a martini glass and add an apple slice to complete your Fall Festive-tini.

Energizing Album Kings of Leon Draw Howard’s ‘Rush’ Wins Dances to the Top On Country Roots The Race  this is ... icona pop   mechanical bull  rush

Kings of Leon

Icona Pop

Jessica Kelham-Hohler

Joseph Kuperschmidt

If anyone claims that they’ve never danced to “I Love It,” you know that he or she is lying. Regardless of where it’s playing, you’ll see people jumping up and down, screaming “I don’t care!” With the release of their second album This Is … Icona Pop — also known as This Is … — Icona Pop is out to prove that they are no one-hit wonder.

As someone who felt slightly annoyed by Ke$ha’s catchy pop and Avicii’s dominance of every club, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this Swedish duo’s 11-track album.

Frankly, I turned my nose up at all that electro-pop for being unoriginal and boring, something to never listen to outside of a party. But, like 98 percent of the campus population, I became hooked to “I Love It,” and I have to admit, pretty much every other track on the album.

There is something so refreshing about hearing club music that doesn’t resort to obvious misogyny and lyrics telling all the girls to grind or look sexy. The catchy, yell’em-out lyrics featured in every track make them the kind of songs you actually want to get up and dance to. The energetic beats of “Ready For the Weekend” and “All Night” make it impossible to not feel uplifted and motivated. These tracks make for the perfect Sunday afternoon work music, on days when you really just want to be in bed, but a week of procrastination has forced you into Lau. If nothing else, these songs will keep you alert while you slave over the essay that’s due tomorrow morning.

Unlike a lot of club music at the moment, Icona Pop has actually produced an album that is fun. A lack of variety in style is compensated for by the catchiness of nearly every song. The lyrics may be simple, but there is a great deal of power behind them. Do not be fooled by the mostly upbeat feel of the tracks, which goes hand-inhand with the defiant and sometimes angry messages. “We Got the

With their sixth studio album Mechanical Bull, Kings of Leon have returned, albeit with a stripped-down sound. This literal band of brothers, led by frontman Caleb Followill, achieved commercial and critical success in 2009 with powerful hits like “Sex on Fire” and the Grammy-winning “Use Somebody.” In the past four years, their mainstream popularity has waned, but the band’s latest effort is far from an attempt to compete with the pop hits topping charts today. Instead, the brothers, connecting to their Nashville roots, tried to deliver unpretentious, well-crafted music for fans of rock. Mechanical Bull may lack powerful stadium anthems, but the music it does have is satisfying and almost always intriguing.

The album opens with its first official single, “Supersoaker,” a fast-paced plea for the vocalist’s “sentimental girl” to stay with him. Lyrically self-deprecating yet musically bright, the track sets the collection off to a good start. From there, however, the album feels stagnant, with a few mediocre songs, like the grungy “Don’t Matter,” which, when compared to some of the band’s other standouts, truly don’t.

The sound picks up again with a series of quality tracks that provide a strong core for Mechanical Bull. In “Beautiful War,” the band took a simple idea — that love means there is something worth fighting for — and produced an even simpler ballad. “Beautiful War” is nothing too inspired, though. In fact, it sounds like a response to John Mayer’s “Heartbreak Warfare,” but it’s a nice change of pace, and it

Special to The Hoya

starring: Daniel Bruhl, Chris Hemsworth

Simon Redko Hoya Staff Writer

Gear-head or not, you should undoubtedly be excited for one of the must-see films of the fall, Ron Howard’s Rush. The ensemble cast perfectly complements the Academy Award-winning Howard in his recreation of the most dramatic season of motorsport’s golden age.

Rush paints the behind-the-scenes story of the 1976 Formula One season. Two legends of the sport, world champions Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth), duke it out both on and off the track to claim the ultimate prize in auto racing. The staunch, calculating Lauda contrasts Hunt’s laidback playboy attitude in both his personal life and approach to racing. The 1976 season was about so much more than high-tech racecars accelerating in circles, and the film’s numerous human elements add to its mass appeal. The film manages to be both entertaining and meaningful. This is not a movie about cars, but a movie about life and rivalries.

Howard is known for his devotion to recreating history as authentically as possible, and Rush was no exception. There was no Fast and Furious montage of cars changing gear 18 times per second, but rather a realistic approach to motor racing. The film, which is factual and accurate but also thrilling, achieves this balance because Formula One and the 1976 season were so stirring in real life.

The flame-splitting exhausts and the shrill of high-octane motors juxtaposed with the flowing champagne, the fight for victory and the reward of beautiful women — such as Suzy Miller — were at the core of movie. While some of these views might not be very politically correct, they are as wildly entertaining today as they were back in the ’70s. Likewise, Howard did a fantastic job capturing the animalistic elements of the fire-breathing Formula One cars and the excitement of a race. It was not difficult to feel the adrenaline and rush of speed as you witnessed panoramic views of man and machine being pushed to the absolute limit. The sheer intensity and excitement of the racing render other car-related films frivolous in comparison.

While Howard’s directing skills were at the forefront, the acting provided by Bruhl in particular was equally stunning.

He is unrecognizable from his previous role as the German sniper in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and is without a doubt someone to keep an eye on. Bruhl absolutely shines and hopefully, along with Formula One, will have a bigger presence in U.S. culture in the future.

Despite the large doses of glitz and glamour, the quest to become champion was the most touching aspect of the story.

The obstacles those involved faced, such as violent, life-altering accidents, gave the film a beautiful take-home message. The beauty of this film stems from its ability to appeal equally to die-hard racing fans as well as to people just looking for an entertaining, drama-filled movie.

World” chastises those who would “say you’re a freak when we’re having fun, say you must be high when we’re spreading love.” Icona Pop presents a musical defense for being yourself in two lines that is far more convincing than any of Lady Gaga’s songs. Think of Katy Perry with a tougher edge, and you’re getting close to the sound of this album.

This Is … is the album to listen to even if you don’t consider yourself as a fan of electro-pop. This duo has taken their punk and alternative music influences seriously, and their album is in no way just another pop club music playlist.

I’m not saying this is an album to sit down and listen to intensely, and I don’t think that is the album’s intention. It’s the music to listen to when you’re in the kind of mood that needs a soundtrack.

Feeling mellow? Put on “Just Another Night.” Had a tough day and need to get in the mood to go out and have fun? “Girlfriend,” or to be honest, any track from the album is worth a play. These tracks are just what you need to feel energized.

No one can argue with an album that puts you in a good mood, and Icona Pop pulls it off expertly. They dominated the summer soundtracks, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this album ends up ruling the rest of the year. Fight it if you want, but it is an inevitable truth that these girls will get you dancing and singing the lyrics to yourself in the shower. And you’ll love every second of it.

RCA RECORDS

shows off a more emotional performance

by Followill. The winning streak continues with “Temple.” Its stream of consciousness lyrics about nervously meeting a girl are playful and smart and make for an effortless track that just works.

With “Family Tree,” the playfulness lingers on. The song starts with some funky, Hendrix-inspired guitar and eventually builds to a big finale that introduces added vocals and lots of clapping.

“Family Tree” is a fun, infectiously catchy tune, the kind that’s destined to end up in an Apple commercial.

Of all the new material on Mechanical Bull, “Tonight” feels most familiar.

It’s instrumentally heavy and vocally loud, much like the band’s earlier hits.

Although it does not seem entirely out of place, “Tonight” sounds like a slight break from the album’s norm, a quick off-course excursion to an old stomping ground before returning to the main road.

While solid, the second half of the album is not without fault. “Comeback Story” is far from a comeback and constitutes the weakest four minutes on Mechanical Bull. Its mundane lyrics come off as a failed attempt at something very clever and ruin its otherwise pleasant sound.

Fortunately, “Comeback Story” stands alone in its dullness.

To close the record, Kings of Leon makes use of their Nashville upbringing with “On the Chin,” a beautiful, slow song about supporting a friend.

This track ventures into the country genre more than any other song on the album. It’s a peculiar choice for a rock band to leave listeners with a predominately country song, but ending on a quiet note works nicely.

For the most part, Mechanical Bull sounds like a local band’s set at a dive bar. From its lyrics to its cover art to even to its title, the album evokes a sense of intimacy and grittiness. The band provides a simple, restrained sound, rather than a dozen attempts at arena-filling, chart-topping power ballads. Kings of Leon chose a direction, and in traveling there, they were mostly successful.

Although Mechanical Bull is mainly an album for those who already listen to rock and already like Kings of Leon, there’s a good chance newcomers will find themselves amused, a little shaken and certainly entertained.

Finding Films to Change and Grow With Us

T

here is no great college movie.

There is no film that transcends, that speaks to the college or even post-grad experience in a meaningful, interesting way.

Most college movies are about frats, whether in the more traditional Animal House-style or the subversive Revenge of the Nerds or House Bunny way. Most of the others are about exceptions — proteges and heroes like in Good Will Hunting and Rudy. Pitch Perfect is one of few that don’t fit these molds, but it’s shallow.

The television landscape is bleaker.

Most “college” series are really shows about high school students who go off to college — “Beverly Hills 90210,” “Boy Meets World,” “Glee” — but once the cast left high school, those got weird. Why haven’t they met any new people? Why does everyone still go to Feeney for advice? Otherwise, college is shown in humorous flashbacks.

The only interesting example I can think of is “Community,” which I’ll revisit in a bit.

Why does no one care to shed any sort of meaningful light on four of the most interesting, confusing and tumultuous years of your life?

This is what college — and being a senior — ought to be about: figuring out just who you are and who you want to take with you when Georgetown throws you out of those front gates.

I think many are afraid to set their movies in colleges because they’re afraid of confronting those questions, which is why the movies that are made tend to be shallow. College is the awkward bridge between immaturity and maturity, childhood and adulthood, and even fictionally navigating it again seems to be too much for most. Comforting, right?

Senior year and the end of my Georgetown career is daunting. But an indulgent depression is not the answer — I’d be just as bad as those students from St. Elmo’s Fire. So while some days I’ll wallow in my room and watch “Community,” the only show that “gets” me right now, the rest of the time I’ll try to enjoy my last year and do the hard work of reflecting what the past has meant and where I’m going. Because we all have to grow up some time.

CHRIS GRIVAS/THE HOYA

Sophomore forward Brandon Allen is confident the Hoyas can keep pace with the Bluejays. “We just need to play around them, keep the ball and find our way forward,” Allen said.

Injured Gomez Questionable for Start on Saturday MENS SOCCER, from B10 played recently, they do have in common that both of their seasons were ended by Indiana last year — the Bluejays in the College Cup semifinals and the Hoyas in the finals. To help prepare for the unfamiliar opponent, Coach Wiese has emphasized the importance of taking advantage of opportunities.

“I expect it to be a great game. I expect there to be very little in it,” Wiese said. “It’s going to be a moment or two that is going to win it for one of the teams, and hopefully our guys are the ones taking advantage of those moments.”

The Hoyas will look to continue a series of strong offensive performances against a defense that has had its highs and lows this season.

Creighton secured clean sheets against No. 7 Notre Dame in an exhibition game, then-No. 7 St. John’s and then-No. 14 Tulsa, but conceded two to Michigan State on Tuesday and let in three against William & Mary on Sept. 15. Despite the Bluejay’s recent results, the Hoyas are expecting the opposing defense to be solid.

“They are going to press hard. I think we just need to play around them, keep the ball and find our way forward,” sophomore forward

Brandon Allen said. “I’m sure we will do well.”

A sturdy Georgetown defense that has held its opponents scoreless in five games this season will face a dangerous Creighton offense that has averaged more than two goals per game this season. Eleven of the Bluejay’s 15 goals this season have been scored in the second half or overtime, so the Hoyas will need to keep their focus and be well conditioned to prevent any late scores. A Georgetown back line anchored by sophomore defender Cole Seiler and freshman defender Joshua Yaro will look to contain sophomore midfielder Timo Pitter

and freshman midfielder Fabian Herbers, Creighton’s leading points and goal scorers.

Georgetown junior goalkeeper Tomas Gomez is confident in his defense’s ability.

“I think this year our defense has really stepped up. We have a lot of underclassmen,” Gomez said. “You look at New Mexico, they had seven goals put on Villanova, and they came here and they barely got one in OT. We should have walked away with a tie, but I didn’t have to do much.”

Gomez had to leave the game against Princeton on Sunday with a hand injury he picked up on the

Tiger’s second goal, and captain senior goalkeeper Keon Parsa closed out the game. Parsa will be in the net if Gomez is still sidelined with the injury.

When asked about his status for Saturday, he said, “It’s coach’s decision, but I’ll be back in practice [Thursday] and Friday.”

Saturday’s game will have major implications in the Big East and in the national rankings, but like any coach, Wiese is trying not to overemphasize one match.

“It’s just another game in that way. Every game in its own right is a test,” Wiese said. “This will be more of a major midterm.”

FIELD HOCKey

Unfair MLB Draft Must Go T

he MLB playoffs are just around the corner, but before we all get caught up in the excitement of the pennant races, there’s one more important issue surrounding Major League Baseball that I think should be discussed: the MLB draft. As Grantland columnist Rany Jazayerli discussed in his column, “Abolish the MLB Draft!,” the MLB draft is fundamentally unfair and doesn’t reward the most talented players for their dedication and skill.

Think about it: Is it fair that a player who has worked his entire childhood to become the best at something can be told where to play for a few years in the minor leagues and then for six years in the majors before becoming a free agent? Imagine if you had worked your tail off to get the highest GPA and to be more prepared for your career than anyone else in your field, only to be told that you’ve been “drafted” to a company in a city that you didn’t choose. That’s what the draft is doing to baseball players, and that’s why it should be changed.

There needs to be a way to give players the ability to choose where to sign while still allowing for parity among all teams. The draft is effective for getting the best players to the worst teams, is evident by former number one overall picks Bryce Harper and Stephen Strasburg ending up here in Washington, D.C. But surely there has to be a way that permits the worst teams to improve the most while simultaneously ensuring that players have a say in the matter of where they play and live.

Therefore, as Jazayerli proposed, the MLB needs to assign each team a specific amount of money to spend during the draft period. The worst team this year — which will be the Houston Astros — would get the most money to spend, while the best team — likely the Boston Red Sox — would get the least.

Each team would then be able

to use its budget accordingly. If a team felt that there was a surefire future Mike Trout out there, it could spend close to its entire budget on that player. If a team needed a pitching boost in the farm system, it could spend a little bit on a bunch of lotteryticket pitchers, since pitching prospects are similar to lottery tickets anyway.

The amount of money that each team would be able to spend would be roughly similar to the actual amount teams are already allowed to spend on their draft picks every year.

Therefore, the owners would probably be OK with the deal

Tom Hoff

Top prospects should have a choice in where they play. because it wouldn’t hike their expenses, and the MLB Players Association should be fine with it as well because it gives more freedom to the players. The new system would better exemplify an employee’s rights in a capitalistic system and improve the overall product. Jazayerli’s best examples include Orioles pitcher Dylan Bundy and Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer, who were unwilling to sign with teams that wouldn’t let them use long toss — a hotly-debated training method for pitchers, where they throw balls back and forth at great distances, sometimes upwards of 300 feet — as a part of their training. Many players have been reluctant to sign with some teams because of a bad history with that organization’s trainers, farm system development abilities or city in

general. With Jazayeri’s system, that problem would be gone because the players would be fully on board with the team with which they sign. Furthermore, it would benefit the smart teams the most, as it’s more difficult, but also more fascinating and potentially rewarding, to manage the new system rather than the old. I support just about anything that favors smart teams who put the most emphasis on winning, and most sports fans should support this, too.

Opponents to changing the draft may have problems with giving the professional athletes who are about to make millions more options; however, if there’s a way that gives potential employees more rights without hurting the overall product, why not do it? We have to remember that the biggest reason that potential prospects are top picks in the first place is that they have more natural talent and have worked harder at their craft than we did. The new system still wouldn’t be akin to the free market, because, if teams are capped, the players’ first contracts would realistically be capped, too. It doesn’t hike up player salaries too much but still improves the draft.

The MLB, more than any other American professional sports league, is the league that needs to try this. In the NFL, NBA and NHL, there is a great difference from the first pick to the 10th pick, and this difference in draft picks is necessary for the parity of those leagues. But, in baseball, the prospects are so similar that it’s not only worth a try, it would definitely improve the sport. Oh, and the MLB already has the exact same system in place for international signings.

Why not bring the system to the states, where the majority of the talent is anyway?

GU Takes on ’Nova’s ‘Stars’ Juliana Zovak Hoya Staff Writer

In its first Big East match of the season, Georgetown (6-7) will take on Villanova (8-5) on Saturday in Pennsylvania. The Hoyas are looking forward to facing the Wildcats, a long-time conference rival.

“We have such rivalry in the Big East, so each match has that much more excitement,” Head Coach Arlisa Williams said. “The matches get harder because all of our conference opponents get video and oftentimes know us as well as we know ourselves. That means we have to play a cleaner game.”

Georgetown and Villanova were both under .500 in the Big East last year, with the Wildcats winning the sole match between the two 3-1. The squads are looking to improve on their conference records this season.

“We know that this conference is ready to battle. We had solid preseasons across the board, and each of us is out to prove something every day,” Williams said.

Villanova was ranked seventh in the Big East preseason coaches’ poll, while Georgetown was ranked ninth. Williams knows her team is eager to show they’re better than last in the conference, but she isn’t worried about the extra mental pressure that might bring with it.

“We’ll just take the floor and leave it all out there,” she said.

Georgetown will have to bring its best game against a surging Villanova team, which has a four-game winning streak and is undefeated at home this season.

“It’s going to be tough to combat,” Williams said. “As coaches we’ll make sure that our players are prepared. As a team, we need to go out and take care of our side of the net, be ready for a battle.”

Against Penn last week, Villanova outside hitter Lauren Carpenter had five blocks and a match-high 24 kills, and on the week hit .312, which earned her a mention on the Big East

“They are well coached. They have a young but talented group with a senior libero who is a rock star at stabilizing the defense,” she said. “They’ve got a 6-foot-5 senior right side, Carly Edwards, who always goes off against us.

They’ve got confidence.”

But the Blue and Gray have several stars of their own.

Sophomore outside hitter Lauren Saar leads all players with 152 kills. Junior Dani White follows with 133, and junior Alex Johnson is right behind her with 132. Junior libero MacKenzie Simpson heads the defensive effort, and freshman Caitlin Brauneis has already gotten attention in tournaments this year as a setter.

In those preseason tournaments, the Blue and Gray have gotten valuable experience and are ready to take on the

conference.

“We have learned that we are a bunch of fighters,” Williams said. “Nine of our 13 matches went either four or five sets. We have clawed our way out of 0-2 deficits twice and made great runs to close gaps.”

Williams believes the Hoyas have the ability to compete with everyone, but she knows they must focus on staying mentally strong as well.

“We have learned that we have to pay attention to the details if we’re going to get wins on the board,” she said.

And with that in mind, the Hoyas are looking forward to showing the Wildcats what they can bring to the court this season.

“We’re going to go play our game to the best of our abilities and have some really good volleyball,” Williams said.

Junior midfielder Daphne Corboz tallied one assist in the Hoyas’ 1-1 tie with the Blue Demons. She also took a penalty kick that was saved by the DePaul keeper Alejandria Godinez.

Hoyas Control Tempo, Disappointed by Draw DEPAUL, from B10 where it was misjudged by Hoya redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Emma Newins and rolled into the back of the net.

For a Georgetown defense that has allowed only three goals at home all season and none before the 40th minute, the early goal was a shock.

Head Coach Dave Nolan declined to blame the goal on a lack of energy out of the gate.

“I’m not really sure what happened; to be fair, I’d just gotten settled,” Nolan said. “[Our] girls were fired up — they were ready to play.”

Georgetown recovered from the early deficit to seize control of the match.

Despite racking up an impressive nine corner kicks in the first half, however, the Hoyas could not break through

and went into the locker room down a goal for the first time since the season opener against William & Mary.

“I felt we were a little too predictable in the middle of the field,” Nolan said. “I wanted to get it wide and come around the back of [their defense] and we did it at moments, but we didn’t do it enough.”

The Blue and Gray continued to control play in the second half, limiting DePaul’s opportunities on the counter attack and generating plenty of pressure in the offensive third of the pitch.

In the 58th minute, the Hoyas finally got on the board when senior defender Mary Kroening beat Blue Demon sophomore goalkeeper Alejandria Godinez to the front post on a corner kick then headed a cross from junior midfielder Daphne Corboz into the net.

“Daphne played a great ball to the

front post,” Kroening said. “I just headed it in.”

Georgetown had numerous chances to take the lead during the rest of the second half, only to be thwarted time and again by the refereeing and Godinez.

First, a sure-fire Georgetown goal was called back on an extremely tight offside call; Godinez then made a fullextension diving save on a blast from senior forward Kaitlin Brenn that was heading for the side of the net.

Finally, Georgetown was awarded a penalty kick when a DePaul defender was whistled for a handball inside the box. Corboz stepped to the penalty spot and hit a rocket to the lower left corner of the net that Godinez saved.

Brenn rushed in, collected the rebound and fired another shot at goal, but once again the DePaul keeper

made the save.

“I think if [Godinez] makes a highlight tape at the end of the year, we’ll probably be on it,” Nolan said “She made an absolutely amazing double save on the penalty. That’s when you start thinking it might not be our day.”

That hunch turned out to be correct. Despite ending regulation having outshot the Blue Demons 21-5 and having taken 14 corner kicks to DePaul’s one, the Hoyas could not convert the game winner.

Georgetown’s best chance in sudden death overtime came only 30 seconds in, when a shot from Corboz rang off the post followed by yet another impressive Godinez save on a rebound from Brenn.

On the last play of the match, a corner kick — the 17th of the match for Georgetown — was flicked dangerously

into the box by junior forward Vanessa Skrumbis, but Godinez was there once again to make her 14th and final save.

After the match, Nolan was not overly concerned with his squad’s lack of finishing.

“I thought we were dangerous on set pieces,” Nolan said. “Our sport is funny like that — sometimes the best team doesn’t win.”

Next up for the Hoyas is a tilt on Sunday against Big East newcomer Xavier (7-1-1).

Nolan expects that the Musketeers will pose many of the same challenges to the Hoyas as DePaul did.

“They’re a good team, confident, good bunch of kids that will be fired up,” Nolan said. “We’ll probably have to play a similar kind of game and this time, hopefully, we’ll take our chances.”

FOOTBALL, from B10 came back and sealed their come-from-behind win with a one-yard touchdown run with less than three minutes remaining. “[Princeton] is a very good football team,” Kelly said. “They probably should have beaten Lehigh, and they probably feel the same way. Lehigh right now is 3-0, so they were close to beating an excellent football team, so I expect a good game.”

Despite this loss, the Princeton offense was impressive, amassing 501 yards of total offense including 310 passing yards. The Tigers also scored four touchdowns in six red zone trips.

However, Princeton does not run a standard offense. The Tigers primarily alternate between two quarterbacks. Junior quarterback Connor Michelsen receives the majority of the snaps, with junior quarterback Quinn Epperly getting the rest.

“We just have to be aware who is in the game,” Kelly said.

“In fact, there are times when [Princeton] has two or three quarterbacks in the game at the same time. They do a good job with their personnel, so our guys are very aware as to who is on the field and we’ll go from there.”

Meanwhile, the Georgetown offense, which struggled the last two weeks, will be up against the Princeton defense, which gave up a staggering 513 yards to Lehigh last weekend.

The Tigers were susceptible to the pass, as they gave up 430 yards through the air to the Mountain Hawks. Senior quarterback Isaiah Kempf, who was 14-33 with a touchdown and an interception against Brown, could be in for a big game.

This season, Georgetown has once again been hampered by injuries. Georgetown’s defense is especially depleted, as six players, including lead-

“We’re getting there,” Kelly said. “It is day-to-day with a couple of guys. But hopefully we will get a majority of them back this weekend.”

Although Georgetown’s defensive struggles can be attributed to these injuries, the

Hoyas must be more defensively sound in order to defeat the Tigers. Most importantly, the Blue and Gray will have to get stops in the red zone. So far this season, opponents have scored on 14 of 17 possessions in the red zone, including 13 touchdowns.

Tomorrow, alums and students alike will flock to MultiSport Facility for the annual Homecoming football game. Despite recent losses to Marist and Brown, the stands are sold out and expectations are high for the Georgetown football team’s (1-3) match up against Princeton (0-1). “[Homecoming] is another game for us,” Head Coach Kevin Kelly said. “But, obviously, there is excitement because alumni, family, friends will be there. … That’s what it is all about. That’s why they play and that’s why we coach, for games like we have on Saturday.”

Georgetown, coming off of a 45-7 loss to Brown last weekend, is looking to return to form. Against the Bears, the Hoyas struggled both offensively and defensively.

“I told the players that we have a lot of football left ahead of us,” Kelly said. “If you look at the Patri-

ot League teams right now, out of conference, everyone is struggling right now … We have a lot of goals ahead of us, a lot of football left, but we have to get better.”

Last season, the Hoyas defeated the Tigers 21-20 in a thriller at Princeton. After senior quarterback Aaron Aiken suffered a leg injury in the first quarter, backup junior quarterback Stephen Skon stepped in and led the Blue and Gray on three scoring drives.

Georgetown sealed the win with 14 seconds left in the fourth quarter on a 33-yard field goal by senior kicker Matt MacZura. Georgetown will look to continue its success against Princeton tomorrow.

In what promises to be one of the biggest games of the season for the No. 12 Georgetown men’s soccer team (6-2), the Hoyas will play the No. 3 Creighton Bluejays (5-1-1) this Saturday at 1 p.m. A preseason poll of Big East men’s soccer coaches had Georgetown slated as the favorite to win the conference this season. Just behind was Creighton, a newcomer to the conference this year. Now, in the Big East, Creighton is ranked first while Georgetown comes in the No. 3 spot behind Butler. Since the start of the season, Creighton has moved up in the NSCAA poll, and they reached the top spot before losing to William & Mary. Though he is not fixated on their ranking, Georgetown’s Head Coach Brian Wiese has a healthy respect for the Bluejays.

“Rankings are irrelevant, and when you play someone head to head, they are even less [important],” he said.

“I’ll be honest, they’re probably the team to beat for the league this year.

I think they are playing unbelievable soccer right now, I think they have been on a great run of results.”

Coming off its first win of the season, the Georgetown field hockey team (1-7, 0-1 Big East) is looking to stay on the winning path. After a tough start to the season, going 0-6 and dropping its first conference game to Providence (4-4, 1-0 Big East) on Friday, the team picked up its first win of the season against Holy Cross (2-4, 0-1 Patriot League) on Sunday.

shots on the season. Against Holy Cross, Nolen allowed only one goal and put up an impressive defensive performance of five saves. After the Crusaders put an early first goal past her 13 minutes into the first half, Nolen remained rock solid until the end of the game.

On the offensive side, sophomore forward Sarah Butterfield leads the team with three goals on the season.

She received Big East honors for her contributions and is a driving factor in the team’s brewing success. According to Head Coach Tiffany Hubbard, Butterfield is making strides in her play, which is reflected in her goal-scoring ability.

The No. 10 Georgetown women’s soccer team opened up Big East play Thursday afternoon, playing host to DePaul on Shaw Field. The sunny day turned into an afternoon full of frustration for the Hoyas (8-0-2, 0-0-1 Big East) who, after conceding an early goal to the Blue Demons (6-1-2, 0-0-1 Big East) and dominating the run of play for 110 minutes, emerged with only a 1-1 draw to show for it.

The match started off poorly for Georgetown, when DePaul’s leading scorer, sophomore forward Elise Wyatt, counterattacked in the second minute, speeding down the left side of the pitch and hitting a firm cross on the ground.
