In a week DePauw University students will have a fresh, new place to plan their study abroad trips and organize their resumes.

The Hubbard Center for Student Engagement will reopen on Sept. 8.

The old Hubbard center offered a wide array of opportunities for students, but much more is expected to come with the renovation.

Raj Bellani, the dean of experiential learning and career planning, spoke about what the opening will mean for DePauw and its students.

“We really started to work on the problematic aspect of it and trying to get the name out there for all students to understand who we were,” he said.

The Hubbard Center is a resource for students to go to make connections and find out about opportunities from studying abroad to internships.

“We are not just a career center,” Bellani said. “We are not just a study abroad center. We are an integrated advising center to help students scaffold experiences for their future.”

The Hubbard Center advises students to come in early in their college career.

“We believe in start early, start often and we always say discover, prepare and connect,” Bellani said.

Getting involved in the Hubbard Center can make things, such as building a resume, easier.

“The faster you can get that done, the faster you can really make moves on securing internships, study abroad experiences and building your framework for your DePauw plan,” said Ben Hatchett, Coquillette peer consultant.

THE DEPAUW: (USPS 150-120) is a tabloid published most Tuesdays and Fridays of the school year by the DePauw University Board of Control of Student Publications. The DePauw is delivered free of charge around campus. Paid circulation is limited to mailed copies of the newspaper.

THE HISTORY: In its 163nd year, The DePauw is Indiana’s oldest college newspaper, founded in 1852 under the name Asbury Notes. The DePauw is an independent, not-for-profit organization and is fully staffed by students.

THE BUSINESS: The DePauw reserves the right to edit, alter or reject any advertising. No specific positions in the newspaper are sold, but every effort will be made to accommodate advertisers.

For the Tuesday addition, advertising copy must be in the hands of The DePauw by 5 p.m. the preceding Sunday; for the Friday editions, the copy deadline is 5 p.m. Wednesday.

Hubbard | cont’d from page 1 “We are fortunate at DePauw to have a great donor, Kathy and Al Hubbard, who really have invested in the concept of an integrated life coaching center, so students have a four year plan for success,” Bellani added.

There will also be a large alumni presence at the new center.

“It’s building connections and working,” Hatchett said.

“It’s a good professional development program.”

Construction began last spring and has continued through the summer. The Hubbard Center went through a transformation in hopes to better serve students.

“And now the space is the culmination of going from a lounge and makeshift offices to a state of the art facility,” Bellani said.

He was most excited for “a go-to destination spot, offices for staff, and our student educators and leaders so they have space to help students.”

“Now have an employment relations suite where we can bring in great companies to recruit our students in spaces that are high end,” he added.

Bellani feels that the most exciting thing for the employees is the space that will be dedicated for information sessions.

The center is planning on launching all the services at one time.

“I am grateful to the DePauw students for really

being understanding,” Bellani said of the construction.

His advice for students is to “meet us 50 percent of the way, take full advantage of us. [If you don’t,] it’s like going to a buffet and not eating what’s there.”

Hatchett suggests that students visit the Hubbard Center frequently.

“You can come in with no idea,” he said. “There’s no dumb question. You can literally come with a blank slate, and we are going to help you start filling in the gaps and building that resume.”

The Hubbard center is also reaching out to students online through their website by making it smartphone friendly. And also with the use of social media.

“We have started redesigning our guide with infographics so people can get information quickly,” Bellani said. “We have redone our website so it’s phone and tablet approved. We are really trying to meet the needs of our students, and the space is a culmination of that.”

As far as social networks go, expect to see the Hubbard Center pop up.

“We have started using Instagram, as more students are active on it,” said Austin Arceo, coordinator of communications and special projects at the Hubbard Center.

The Hubbard Center will begin walk-in advising in their renovated space on Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Smith wants to ensure students that the network team appreciateany feedback and strives to meet campus needs.

“I encourage people to report issues of difficulties, report it to the Help Desk,” Smith said.

“If we don’t know what is happening we can’t fix it. We want to know about it.” *Those residence halls units include: Lucy Rowlands Hall, Rector Village, Mason Hall, Anderson Street Hall, Senior Hall and Bishop Roberts Hall.

The DePauw | News DePauw’s campus Wi-Fi receives a multi-phased facelift ALEXIUS BURTON news@thedepauw.com By the end of the 2014-2015 academic year, the number of client devices in the DePauw University community outgrew the capacity of our campus Wi-Fi's capabilities.

To keep up, a multi-phased upgrade and expansion began with the start of the fiscal year and will continue over the next 12 to 18 months as future funding permits.

DePauw’s campus network team is currently implementing a new system and design that will provide better 5GHZ (gigahertz) and 802.11ac/n coverage.

For those of your who aren't tech savvy, this just means faster, stronger Wi-Fi across campus.

The last Wi-Fi upgrade took place in 2003 and can no longer sustain the growing number of devices per client. Today, Carol Smith, chief information officer of department services for DePauw’s network team, estimates that most

people on DePauw’s campus own and operate an average of three devices that connect to Wi-Fi. “Everyone has multiple devices and wireless networking is a shared access,” Smith said.

Smith is optimistic that the upgrade will be completed in the next two years. The first phase of this upgrade began this summer and focuses on replacing or adding Wi-Fi access points in student living spaces and popular study spaces. By the first day of classes this semester, new access points were updated or installed in several residence halls* and Roy O. West Library.

“There is sort of a fine tuning to how many devices for each access point, the existing system did not have enough access points in the right places,” Smith said.

Today up to 200 new Wi-Fi access points have been installed raising the total number of Wi-Fi access points to 640 on DePauw’s campus. By adding more access

points, Wi-Fi becomes less difficult to share with multiple users.

“The new system is much better designed for the capacity for the number of devices it can support,” Smith said.

The network team has confirmed that they have already received feedback from students in residence halls claiming that the new system is much faster and more reliable than last year.

First-year resident assistant (FYRA) Aislee Nieves definitely has noticed a difference in the Wi-Fi from last year to this year.

“Last year the Wi-Fi was decent, but there were many instances where the system will go down or be very delayed,” Nieves said.

“However, this year started off great when it comes to the Wi-Fi, I notice the speed of the Wi-Fi totally got better and no matter how many people seem to be using it,

Mac Demarco keeps it short and sweet on "Another One”

by Ben Gorman “Another One” begins in typical Mac Demarco fashion, with a noodling guitar over some high-pitched chords on a love song, “The Way You’d Love Her.” While the song is a little bit more upbeat than the majority of the album’s predecessor, “Salad Days,” it is not a big departure from the album.

While some artists try to reinvent the wheel with each of their releases, Mac sticks to familiar sounds and tones but tightens his production each step of the way. Halfway through the opening track, Mac stops singing and lets his guitar tell the story with a short, bouncy solo that

entices the listener to dive in and see what Mac has in store.

While the album is short, Mac intentionally uses the space he has and gives us his most honest release to date. He gives us a peek into his unstable love life as we hear him croon about girls he wants to be with, but can’t.

The subject matter may be depressing, but Mac treats it lightheartedly as he always does and keeps most of the songs upbeat. When he does slow things down, like on the title track, “Another One,” we are reminded of the sadness from which the album is inspired.

One of the greatest things about Mac is that he is as goofy as he is talented. From his nonsensical videos promoting his albums to his charming gap-toothed smile, he’s picked up a cult fan base that admires his slacker persona.

At the end of the album, Mac gives his listeners his address and invites them over for a cup of coffee. In an interview with NME, Mac shared that over 30 fans have already stopped by. With this invitation, Mac hints at being as genuine as he comes off as on his album and shows his fans his appreciation for engaging his art.

Listen to 91.5 WGRE to hear Mac Demarco’s new album.

Brady’s ‘Deflategate’ suspension lifted

On Jan. 18, 2015 the New England Patriots played the Indianapolis Colts at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts in the AFC Championship Game.

Although the Patriots defeated the Colts 45-7 that is not what most fans remember about the game. In this game, quarterback Tom Brady was accused of tampering with game footballs, giving his team an unfair advantage over the Colts.

On May 11 the National Football League (NFL) concluded it would suspend Brady for four games as a result of his supposed actions during the January game. Then yesterday, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman ruled to overturn the NFL’s suspension yesterday on the grounds that he found “several significant legal deficiencies” according to an article published on CNN. Immediately following Berman’s decision the league filed an appeal. "We are grateful to Judge Berman for hearing this matter, but respectfully disagree with today's decision," Roger Goodell, commissioner of the NFL, said in a statement. Brady will be able to play in all regular season games as the appeal moves forward.

As an Editorial Board, we believe each person has a right to a fair trial in a court of law. In no case should the defendant be given unequal access to the files the prosecution has possession of.

However, we do not condone the alleged cheating that Tom Brady has been accused of by the league. Each team should have an equal shot at winning a game going in, and no one team should gain an advantage over the other.

Fed up: Voters’ disdain toward the Washington establishment MICHAEL FR OE DG E

During the past six months, billionaire real-estate mogul Donald Trump has surged in national Republican polls.

Despite his forthright comments pegging illegal immigrants as “rapists” and Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly as a “bimbo,” Trump has defied conventional political wisdom. His bombastic tone, complemented by his frequent attacks on the Washington establishment, political correctness and illegal immigration have struck a nerve in many registered voters.

We have seen countless political figures walk the political correctness line. In an era of constant media coverage, career politicians, especially those running for president, are cognizant of how each issue is framed.

As seen, one sentence has the potential to have dramatic impacts on a campaign. For example, in the 1976 presidential debate, Gerald Ford asserted “there is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe, and there never will be under a Ford administration.”

This comment was fundamentally wrong—and many Americans saw President Ford as incompetent and out-of-touch with foreign affairs. In 2012, Mitt

Romney’s comment about the “47 percent of Americans who don’t pay the income tax” went viral, and many voters began to see him as a heartless conservative, who was only concerned with those in upper-income brackets. These comments inevitably had an impact in the political discussion.

One comment, no matter how trivial, can have a considerable impact on a candidate’s reputation or success.

Despite predictable political expectations, Trump’s rhetoric has seemingly defied traditional political gravity. Instead of repelling voters, as anticipated by many political experts, his unabashed remarks have tapped into a national anger.

In response, Trump has created a gravitational pull with voters. According to Rasmussen Reports, “A new national telephone survey finds that 59 percent of likely Republican voters now believe Trump is likely to be their party’s nominee for president in 2016, up barely from 57 percent a week ago.”

Whether one subscribes to his policies or not, a large appeal of the Trump insurgency has been a result of his ability to bluntly identify problems in Washington.

Former neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson, has made huge strides in his anti-establishment message for dispelling political correctness and returning America’s to its founding roots. Carson’s warm, calming message of “Heal, Inspire and Revive” has garnered large conservative

grassroots supporters, especially in Iowa where Dr. Carson ties Trump with 23 percent of support (Monmouth University, Aug. 31).

Although his rhetoric does not match Trump’s volume level, Carson’s substantive message provides a sharp contrast between himself and the Republican establishment.

On the other end of the ideological spectrum, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders continues to draw huge crowds and surprisingly high numbers.

According to a Huffington Post Pollster, “[Hillary] Clinton’s lead over Sanders among Democrats was an astounding 60.1 percent to a mere 4.9 percent on March 2. By Aug. 26, Bernie Sanders surged all the way to 23.4 percent while Clinton fell to 47.1 percent.”

Although Clinton still commands an impressive lead, his democratic-socialism message is exciting a progressive base.

Conventional political wisdom would suggest walking the party line would be the safest, most secure way to ensure a political victory. However, Trump, Carson and Sanders are beginning to defy this wisdom.

Together, although on different ideological planes, these “outsiders” are shaking up the political process. And it’s working.

The DePauw | Opinions A look into DePauw’s skewed housing system STEPHEN M C MUR T RY

DePauw’s housing system is unfairly biased against students without Greek affiliation.

Days after formal recruitment, a majority of the first-year class prepares to spend the next year living with their newly-selected brothers or sisters; however, a small percentage of the class is consigned to another year of dormitory living, be it Mason or—the horror!—Bloomington Street Hall or Senior Hall. The campus dorms are falling into disrepair while Greek houses are becoming ever more lavish.

Dormitory improvements are laughably far down the list of “things to fix after we finish building all the other things,” so desirable dorms are still years away. Some Greek houses have such good infrastructure that their alumni have been able to turn their funds toward monuments; donors from Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity and Beta Theta Pi Fraternity have bought their houses a front-yard clock and rock, respectively. Furthermore, sophomore independent students lack even the power to group up beyond the scale

As life and “Back to the Future II” have taught us, 2015 is a great year period. But it’s an especially good time to try a plantbased lifestyle, as recent events indicate.

Health benefits of veganism are becoming more recognized on a national basis.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines, published every five years by the USDA, has notably changed its tune. For a long time it mainly recommended reducing your intake of red meat. This year it encourages limiting consumption of animal products in general.

The Scientific Report, found on health. gov, states: “The major findings regarding sustainable diets were that a higher in plantbased foods, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, and lower in calories and animal-based foods is more health promoting and is associated with less environmental impact than is the current U.S. diet.”

An additional trend of veggie alternatives in fast food joints—many, such as White Castle, offered nationally—show that there’s a change in the wind.

Health isn’t enough? No worries. It isn’t for me either. Oreos are just too delicious.

of roommates, worsening their second-year housing situation further. Maybe Greg Dillon will throw you a bone and place you near your friends, but very possibly not.

The problems continue even into the third and fourth years of housing. Independent students are forced to compete in the housing lottery with groups of four, six and eight Greek students. Many Rector Village apartment floors—the newest and nicest in DePauw housing—belong exclusively to groups from individual Greek organizations. Many independent students do live in campus duplexes, but the majority of those houses are falling apart at the seams.

As a solution, I propose two changes to the housing system: 1) allow sophomores to enter the housing lottery and 2) give lottery precedence to groups that feature a minority of Greek-affiliated students.

Allowing sophomores into the lottery would grant younger independent students an opportunity to avoid the decrepit horrors of DePauw’s upperclassman dorms. Furthermore, an earlier on-campus apartment search would foster more communication within a group that often gets ignored during the Greek brouhahas of recruitment and new member education periods.

My second recommendation is slightly more complex, and its implementation depends on

what behaviors the community wishes to encourage. Give precedence to all-independent groups? Apartments of mixed Greek affiliations? I believe the best way to encourage heterologous living groups would be higher lottery rankings for groups of which half or fewer students hold active Greek affiliation. This system would foster communication and friendship between Greek organizations and independent students, and it would also promote diversity of affiliation within housing units.

Of course, jigging the housing lottery to favor independent students will not solve all of DePauw’s housing woes. Ultimately, there will need to be significant investment in renovations to existing dormitories and the construction of new, suite-style upperclassman dorms in which students actually want to live. The goal of new housing is distant, however: DePauw has committed to renovating Roy O. West and completing Hoover Hall with funds from the Campaign for DePauw, but numerous other projects will remain in “Planning Phase” limbo for quite some time.

Bags / The DePauw

Why 2015 is a great year to go vegan When interning at “Mercy For Animals” in Los Angeles last semester, I ate avocados every day… but drank vegan milkshakes almost as often. (With 60 vegan restaurants in the city and one practically on every block, who could blame me?) So for those junk food junkies among us, it’s also prudent to look at agricultural impact. We’re going to run out of natural resources pretty soon due to the strain of having to feed a huge and growing population—if we keep up with our current animal agriculture-based food production habits, that is.

According to University of California’s Soil and Water Specialists, 5,214 gallons of water go into producing a pound of beef; 1,630 go into a pound of pork; and 815 go into a pound of chicken. Compare this to the 49 gallons required for apples, 33 for carrots, 24 for potatoes and 23 for tomatoes.

There are similar findings for the grains and land used for livestock.

When we eat animals and animal products, we’re also consuming all the food and water that fed them over a lifetime. In order to mitigate the effects of our food production on the planet, we should skip the animals and go right to the plants. It is not only beneficial, but necessary. As news of droughts and greenhouse gas emissions have indicated, we need to be more careful with our natural resources.

Admittedly, a lot of this is stuff I learned in Los Angeles. The DePauw bubble keeps news from reaching me as much as it does the next person. One of my main challenges in returning to school this semester, besides mourning the loss of vegan milkshakes, was adjusting outreach strategies when moving to a different environment—in this case, a sleepy Midwestern town. In light of that, I hope that sharing a bit of my experience eating vegan here will show that a vegan diet is very accessible.

Greencastle has a good variety of vegan options. A few of my favorites are birthday cake oreos from Walmart, So Delicious Ice Cream from Kroger (any flavor), Big Sur sweet earth burritos from the Den, the black beans and rice dish at The Duck and eggless fried white rice at the Hub. I’ve tried my best to summarize the benefits of veganism here, but alas, I couldn’t cover them all. Spend a few minutes Googling things, and you’ll see for yourself the numerous upsides of adopting a healthy, sustainable vegan diet.

Women's soccer struggles in opener against Hanover AUSTIN CANDOR

news@thedepauw.com “Who’s it going to be? Who’s going to be the hero of DePauw?”

DePauw University head coach Megan McCormick’s words rang throughout Reavis Stadium after Hanover College’s firstyear Katie Koopman netted their second goal of the first half against the Tigers in their season-opener Tuesday evening.

Despite the defense’s success in keeping Hanover scoreless for the rest of the game, no one on the offensive side of things was able to play hero for the Tigers, and DePauw was shut out 2-0.

“Overall, the game we played was not DePauw soccer,” said senior forward and team captain Stephanie Martin.

Whether it was nerves, a lack of confidence or the task off shaking the rust off, the Tigers never seemed able to get comfortable.

“The entire 90 minutes was just really disjointed,” McCormick said. “There was just not a lot of cohesion from line to line. We never really settled into any sort of rhythm.”

Through the first 25 minutes, both teams showed flashes of dominance, but neither was able to finish when they neared the opposing goal post.

Hanover’s first major breakthrough came with less than 20 minutes to play in the first half when junior forward Elaine Simpson put the Panthers up 1-0 off an assist from junior Anna Cornacchione.

Koopman’s goal came with just over six minutes left in the half, digging the Tigers an even deeper hole.

Though their efforts were in vain, the Tigers’ play in the second half was closer to the way they hope to play down the stretch.

“We understood that playing a panicked, direct style of play would not work,” said junior defender Jennifer Dimos. “We began to keep the ball, allowing ourselves more opportunites on goal, and preventing them from getting another goal from counterattack.”

McCormick agreed.

“I don’t think we gave up on ourselves or imploded,” she said.

“In the second half, we didn’t give the ball away in those dangerous spots in our defensive third of the field.”

The defense was led by junior goalkeeper Riley Riordan, who made seven saves in the losing effort.

MEN’S SOCCER | CONT’D FROM PAGE 12 out wide to his classmate Alieu Musa, and then found junior Julian Gonzalez open in the goalmouth.

Of likely his most potent offensive weapon, Hatuer spoke simply.

“Julian…did what Julian does,” Hatuer said.

“I was at the right place at the right time and touched it in,” Gonzalez said.

While Gonzalez took care of the offense, Yount made an impression in his first start as the Tigers’ featured goalkeeper. En route to the

Women’s soccer started off slowly this year with a 2-0 loss to Hanover College. KALEB VANARSDALE / THE DEPAUW DePauw’s offense, however, was held back throughout the entirety of the game, as they only managed to get two shots on goal compared to Hanover’s nine.

“It just wasn’t where we should be,” Martin said. “But we can only go forward from here. We are very capable of being a really good team. We just have to get it together and play like we

know.”

While it’s only the first game of the season, Tuesday’s loss will make this weekend’s games against Kalamazaoo College and Calvin College at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, Illinois even more critical if the team hopes to avoid a slow start, something that came back to haunt them last season.

“There were definitely a few nerves but once the game starts they all go away. ” -Chris Yount, senior

shutout, Yount made four saves for the Tigers.

The senior will finally have a chance to shine after the Tigers lost long-time goalkeeper Jake Pezzuto to graduation. After riding the bench for the last two seasons as Pezzuto held onto the starting job, Yount will see most of the minutes in net.

“Great goalkeeper and great leader,” Hauter said. “Looked like a four-year starter [Tuesday].”

He may have looked like one, but there were some nerves for his first game as the Tigers starting goalkeeper.

“There were definitely a few nerves but

once the game starts they all go away,” Yount said. “When you have a good team in front of you, it makes the game a lot easier.”

The Tigers will now move on to the Raven / Quaker classic where they will face Earlham College and Anderson University over the weekend, before returning to Greencastle and hosting Franklin College in their home

opener.

“Ideally they will play our game,” Yount said, “and we can come out of the weekend with two more wins.”

DePauw's school spirit (or lack thereof) JACOB LY N N

I love DePauw, and I love the Tigers.

This will be my third year covering DePauw athletics for this paper, and I’ve loved every minute of it. From the lows of two Monon loses, to the highs of softball and men’s basketball last year, I’m incredibly passionate about the teams that I cover.

But now let me tell you why I also hate them.

I want attendance. I want a band.

Basically, I just want a little more school spirit. I came to DePauw knowing full well that it wasn’t going to be like a Notre Dame or Ohio State, but I wanted more than what we have now.

To find out what other people think of the spirit at DePauw, I decided to ask four students and four sports administrators to give it a letter grade.

The results showed that there’s a disconnect between some coaches

and the students that sometimes go to their games.

Athletic director Stevie Baker-Watson gave the spirit a solid B. and Scott Riggle, the men’s and women’s tennis head coach, said it was a B+.

The other two coaches I talked to, Bill Fenlon of men’s basketball and Brad Hauter of men’s soccer, had slightly different views on the school spirit at this school.

Hauter gave it a C, calling it the national average, but went on to say that “...I don't consider average to be acceptable, especially at DePauw.”

Fenlon on the other hand went ahead and gave DePauw a C- in the school spirit category.

I then took that same question to four students, and they were even harsher on the spirit than Fenlon and Hauter. Each student I talked to gave DePauw spirit grades below a C-, and I would tend to agree with them.

Now, I understand that there’s a lot going on at DePauw and that can detract from attendance at sporting events. I know the School of Music can have performances on a football

Saturday or an art show at Peeler can take away from other sporting events, and by no means am I saying that those activities deserve less attention.

In fact, almost all of the coaches I talked to spoke about how well DePauw students do in supporting every aspect of the school community, and I would agree with that as well.

Regardless of this, I still want to see a little more support at games.

It’s not like you’ll be watching perennially bad teams. In general, I’d like to think the on-the-field part of our athletic program is in a really good place. Realistically, the football team has a shot at winning the bell back this season, Coach Huffman always puts a good product on the floor and both lacrosse programs are on the rise.

These can be fun, energetic events where students can watch their friends compete at a high level and more often than not, win. Every team at DePauw is deserving of the best support our student body has to offer.

I know this is a Division III school and athletes aren’t here because they are looking to go pro and that the word student in “student-athlete” means just that.

I’ve grown up a sports fan and some of my fondest memories have taken place at stadiums and arenas.

Now I want great memories at Blackstock Stadium, Neal Fieldhouse and Walker Field, instead of at the parking lot across the street from them.

Tiger of the Week: Julian Gonzalez

SPORT: SOCCER POSITION: FORWARD YEAR: JUNIOR HOMETOWN: INDIANAPOLIS

Junior forward Julian Gonzalez proved why he was DePauw’s leading scorer last season throughout Tuesday’s game. Fifteen minutes into DePauw’s season-opener against Hanover College Gonzalez netted his first goal of the year, which proved to be all the Tigers needed in a 1-0 victory against the Panthers. This week, The DePauw had a chance to sit down with Gonzalez to discuss his outlook of the game and this season’s team.

The DePauw (TDP): What does it mean to you to be able to contribute in such a big way in the first game of the season?

Julian Gonzalez (JG): It felt good. Preseason you always kind of worry about not being fully prepared, not being mentally and physically ready for the season to start. Coming out to the first game of the season and scoring a goal and having that first win was kind of a good confidence boost… personally and for the team just because of how much work and how productive our preseason’s been.

TDP: As a junior, does this season feel any different for you than the previous two? Do you still feel the nerves during that first game?

JG: The nerves are always going to be there, but as a junior I feel a little bit more comfortable.

Freshman year when I would play, I’d always kind of second guess or always kind of think too much, but as a junior you learn to play the game.

TDP: Personally, how did you train and prepare over the summer for this season?

JG: I was working a lot this summer. It was difficult to train just because of the hours I was working. One player I worked with a lot was [junior midfielder] E.J. Moore.

He and I would about two or three times a week just meet up and work, get some touches, practice

the shots and passes. So that was good just because I felt like I already came into the preseason prepared, ready to start.

TDP: Any personal goals for the season?

JG: Like I told my coach, I try to have a goal and / or assist each game. Obviously that’s kind of a big task, but it’s something you shoot for every game, [taking] it day-byday, and then game-by-game. You try to not think too much about your own personal goals because that gets in the way of the team. I try to help out as much as I can.

TDP: How do you feel about this season’s team? How does it measure up to the past two you’ve played for?

JG: The morale is high just because we know we can do something special this year. I think out of the three years I’ve been here, this has been the best preseason we’ve had, just based on talent and work ethic. I think we’re ready for [conference]. We’re looking forward to it. It’s now, ‘We know we can beat these teams and these teams think they can beat us.’ It’s that kind of mentality.

TDP: What is the outlook heading into the Quaker Classic this weekend?

JG: We’re looking to get two wins again. We should win every game we play, and so anything less than that is unacceptable in our view. For the freshmen, I think this weekend is a big opportunity for them to kind of step up and really start to show the talent they have.

Volleyball opens season in style with comeback win AUSTIN CANDOR

sports@thedepauw.com It was looking like a nightmare of a season opener for women’s volleyball.

The Tigers had dropped the first two sets to visiting Franklin College in front of an at capacity crowd at Neal Fieldhouse.

But for a team that went 27-11 last season, DePauw University wasn’t about to back down on their home court.

“Even when we are down, we have the mentality that when we play together we will win,” said senior outside hitter Lauren Falotico.

“After we lost the first two sets...[we] made a decision that we were going to take Franklin to five sets and win the match.”

And that’s just what they did.

Led by Falotico’s 21 kills, senior defensive specialist Keely McGrath’s 14 digs and first-year middle hitter Quinci Miller’s six blocks, DePauw won the next three matches by scores of 25-12, 25-12 and 15-9 and sent loyal Tigers fans home happy.

For a team with such talent, it’s hard to say what was giving them trouble early on.

“I think maybe early in the game, because of the big crowd, we were a little more tight, a little more timid,” head coach Deb Zellers said. “It took us a while to get into the flow of the game.

Our confidence and our teamwork weren’t there initially.”

Poor serving also hurt the Tigers throughout the first two sets.

“Every time we seemed to find a little bit of a rally or make a great play, we’d miss a serve,” Zellers said. “We really wanted to focus on just being confident in our serving… It was just a confidence factor for us.”

The last time the two teams met was in 2013, when DePauw also hosted the Grizzlies.

That year, the Tigers easily handled Franklin, beating them in three sets, something the team hopes to do a lot of this season after seeing what they’re capable of when their backs are against the wall.

“We didn’t have a lot of energy in the first two sets [against Franklin],” Miller said. “Once we realized that we needed to pick up our intensity, it changed our game, and we were able to make amazing plays.”

The team hopes to carry that momentum into this weekend, where they’ll be playing away at Ohio Northern University, and then at Bluffton University for the Sommer Center Spectacular.

“This season we have very high expectations. We are stronger, more focused and ready to meet our goals,” McGrath said. “The fact that we were going into that third game that we were going to win says a lot about where this team is going this year.”

“It took us a while to get into the flow of the game. Our confidence and our teamwork weren’t there initially.”

Men’s soccer opens season strong with win over Hanover JACOB LYNN

sports@thedepauw.com In 2006, the Tigers fell in their opening game to Case Western Reserve University 1-0 back at their old home on Boswell Field.

Since then, head coach Brad Hauter and the Tigers are 9-0 in season openers, including Tuesday night’s 1-0 win on the road at Hanover College. That’s something he is quick to gloss

over, however.

“A little bit of coincidence,” Hauter said. “Preseason is tough on teams in that you can’t polish everything so you have to pick and choose your areas of focus. We’ve been fortunate to pick some foundational pieces that have paid off. Add to it that we have consistently had a great group of high-drive guys, which is the key ingredient.”

The Tigers are lucky they picked up on those pieces, because opening-day wins haven’t been the easiest.

Since 2011, all of DePauw’s openers have been decided by a

single goal. In 2011 and 2012, both games went into overtime.

Despite the close calls, the Tigers are happy to have gotten off to a good start in 2015.

“It feels great to get that first win,” senior goalkeeper Chris Yount said. “Even though we may have started slow, once we got into the game, everything started clicking for us.”

The lone goal for the Tigers came early on in the 16th minute. Senior Mitch Reavis MEN’S SOCCER | CONT’D ON PAGE 10 played a ball
