After a series of speeches at a private reception the morning of Maryland Day, a select group of supporters put the commemorative first dig in a container of dirt to symbolize the construction of the new building that will hold 2,000 students.

“Because of its unique design, it will transform the way students learn and faculty teach,” Vice President of University Relations Peter Weiler said at the reception.

Construction will end December 2016. The new building will feature classrooms that promote collaborative learning and interaction with modern teaching technology.

By Erin Serpico @erin_serpico Staff writer More than a dozen students attempted to rally the support of university administrators and their peers Friday to combat student debt.

The campus chapter of economic justice advocacy group Student Labor Action Project called on university President Wallace Loh to support a three-year tuition freeze within the University System of Maryland and to make public the university’s contract with Capital One Financial Corporation. Starting at about 11 a.m., the students chanted and held signs in front

of the Main Administration Building, planning to deliver a petition to Loh. The demand for a halt on tuition hikes was a response to the state General Assembly’s decision to keep tuition increases at 3 percent for the fifth consecutive year. The group aims to garner Loh’s support to influence a plea deal, said Chris Bangert-Drowns, a freshman biochemistry major and SLAP member.

“In the U.S., college affordability is a joke,” Bangert-Drowns said. “And we want to change that.”

The group also wants the university to release a copy of its contract with Capital One to ensure the company uses honest practices when handling student loans.

The Government Accountability Office released a report in February showing that 11 percent of colleges and universities nationwide offered

Preserving the past for the future

Student group calls for better univ financial transparency Friday rally identifies private bank contract as potential debt cause

A female University of Maryland University College student was found dead inside a car Friday afternoon in Greenbelt.

Greenbelt City Police said Saturday they found Emilia Arabelly Ignacio, 28, of Greenbelt, with stab wounds to her torso inside a red 2007 Nissan Altima, according to WUSA-TV. Relatives reported Ignacio missing Wednesday after they were unable to reach her. Family members said they last saw her Tuesday morning as she was on her way to work, according to WJLA-TV. Police obtained an arrest warrant for her boyfriend, 34-year-old Juan Miguel Roman, in connection with her death. He faces charges of fi rstand second-degree murder.

Ignacio was set to graduate in May with a degree in legal studies. The mother of two children, a 1-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter, wanted to become a lawyer and offer legal aid to immigrant communities, according to WJLA-TV.

HOLOCAUST From PAGE 1 The remembrance day is a time to reflect on and honor those who died in the Holocaust during World War II, including the 6 million Jews who were killed by Nazi forces, said Josh Gilstein, JSU president.

“Every year, there’s some kind of programming, but this is the first in a few years that we’ve done the Holocaust Vigil right on or right before Yom HaShoah,” the senior biology major said.

“It’s more impactful.”

T h i s y e a r, t h e a n n u a l event featu red a g uest speaker, Holocaust survivor Israel Gruzin.

“It makes me feel good that young people like you like to listen to stories,” Gruzin said to the crowd. “It’s not a very good memory, but we shouldn’t forget.”

Gruzin, who was born in Lithuania and immigrated to Baltimore in 1955, described his life before the war and told stories about his time in ghettos and concentration camps as a young boy. He also talked about his family and his memories of events that occurred during the war. “ T h i s w a s t h e i r l i fe ,” sa id sophomore com mun ity hea lth major A n na Koozmin, JSU social action chairwoman. “I’m sure every

story triggers another story. … Those stories will stick with you.”

JSU volunteers led a dozen groups of students in discussions, in which participants talked about their reactions to Gruzin’s speech and the how the Holocaust relates to current events and nations that still exhibit widespread discrimination and violence.

Students don’t often talk about the Holocaust with one another, Koozmin said, and the JSU aims to create a safe environment where people can voice their thoughts.

T he students a l so d i scussed how memories of all persecuted populations in the Holocaust are kept alive a nd how t hey person a l ly relate to the events.

“It’s i mporta nt to have set ti mes du ri ng the yea r to remember your history,” junior biology major Ariel Siegel sa id to her table during the discussion. “It kind of helps you remember what’s going on because you’re not thinking about the Holocaust every day of the year.”

Siegel sa id events such a s t he re m e m bra nc e d ay remind her why she is proud of her background and why Judaism is important to her.

Bei ng a rou nd people who feel the same way is vital, Siegel sa id, a nd others at her table contributed and listened.

of the University System of Maryland, said he tried for nearly 50 years to create plans for a new teaching center when he worked on the campus in the math department, but nothing came from his efforts.

Kirwan said when he was working as a math professor, he taught students in the basement of Reckord Armory, where pillars blocked students’ views and rooms lacked ventilation.

Kirwan, who was university president from 198998, said building plans did not begin developing until L o h t o o k o f f i c e i n 2 010 and reached out to Edward St. John, who donated $10 m i l l ion to k ick-sta r t t he building’s construction.

S t . Jo h n , a u n i v e r s i t y a lu m nu s a n d fo u n d e r of St. Joh n P roper t ies, told the audience he decided to donate when Loh spoke to him about his aspirations to create a cutting-edge learning environment.

“I always said that going to the University of Maryland teaches you to do it on your own because you’re not going to get it in the class,” St. John said, to audience laughter.

“But with the new learning center, maybe you will get it in the class.”

Loh also thanked this state’s Senate President Mike Miller (D-Calvert and Prince George’s), who pushed the General Assembly to allocate the university $42 million, which will partly fund the new learning center.

Student Government Association President Sam Zwerling spoke on behalf of the SGA, which raised $50,000 for the project through the Sustainability Fund.

That money will go toward building a rainwater harvester that will supply water to the pipes and toilets, said Ori Gutin, SGA sustainability director. The SGA also proposed building a green roof, which would provide

“Our goal is that all 38,000 students at this university get exposed to the mindset and the skills of being an entrepreneur and innovator to make an impact on society,” Loh said.

Kirk Morris Jr., a freshman enrolled in letters and sciences, said he is excited to see the building bring collaborative spaces for students dedicated to learning.

“The building will serve as a fresh, new place for creative thinking,” Morris said. “It will start as something great and will only grow from here to create great things.” jsnowdbk@gmail.com

STAFF EDITORIAL

ast week, the political disinterest in our student community reached a new level of visibility.

Despite the extended deadline for Student Government Association election registration, Open Party member Patrick Ronk is the only presidential candidate in this week’s election. Not only will Ronk run uncontested, but every candidate vying for the remaining SGA executive title positions will also run unopposed.

While it’s good that multiple students have stepped up to run in the elections, it is disappointing to see the student body display such a lackadaisical attitude toward getting involved in student government. Last week, this editorial board wrote about how this political apathy harms our community, and with this string of uncontested student government campaigns, that sentiment holds true.

With so many unopposed candidates running for executive positions, convincing students to vote will be nearly impossible. It’s also irrelevant for this editorial board to endorse any of the candidates without competition.

Clearly, the student body’s attitude is, “Why bother?” This unopposed election is a shameful mark of disconnection between democratic ideals and disinterested reality.

MATT SCHNABEL

After the formality of voting that begins today and ends Wednesday, the candidates simply will assume their desired SGA positions without being held accountable by the student body for any platform whatsoever. Smaller representatives will still have contested elections, but it’s hard to see any interest generated without a full competitive campaign behind those running.

OUR VIEW

The Open Party will need to acknowledge all viewpoints and opinions as members assume executive positions without opposition.

A series of haphazard, unfair and unpolished procedural maneuvers officially ruled SGA student affairs vice president and formerly unopposed presidential candidate Josh Ratner ineligible to run in the 11th hour — or past it. So the current unopposed presidential candidate, Ronk, at least deserves credit for stepping up to run for the presidential role.

The sophomore government and politics major has said he will still be out campaigning and talking to students to receive their feed-

back throughout the week. While we still need to learn more about Ronk to fully judge his candidacy, if he indeed makes himself accessible this week and engages in discussions with a diverse array of students, it will indicate that he’s trying to be a worthy student representative.

Still, the uncontested election is discouraging. Even Ronk admitted he would prefer having competition and dialogue. The purpose of any election is for the voters to choose their leaders, not to have leaders assume their roles because no one else wanted them.

Yet with the uncontested elections that start today, it looks as though the executive board will just be filled with whoever wants to do the job.

Although all executive titles will be filled rather than earned and the Open Party will make up the majority of SGA’s leadership, the unopposed candidates are not to blame for the lack of competition.

This editorial board can only hope Ronk and the rest of the soon-tobe executive board recognize all student voices and opinions, not only those associated with the Open Party. Students will need to make that happen — not necessarily at the polls but through much-needed communication and engagement with the SGA now and in the coming year.

Get hooked on fun and free comics Celebrate Free Comic Book Day KaBOOM! Summer Blast Adventure Time! This collection has material from the Adventure Time comics, as well as Regular Show, Garfield, and Peanuts. New this year is Steven Universe, based on a cute cartoon that premiered on Cartoon Network last year. Starring Steven, a chubby kid raised by hip, teenage superheroines, Steven Universe is more joyful than Regular Show and less serialized than Adventure Time.

It’s clean enough that kids can watch it, but hints at a deeper meaning adult fans can appreciate.

Try the comic, then settle down to binge watch all 17 episodes aired so far.

Dark Horse Comics This compilation from Dark Horse samples comics from Avatar: The Last Airbender, Itty Bitty Hellboy and the Juice Squeezers.

If you watched Avatar years ago, or you’re still watching the spinoff, The Legend of Korra, there’s no reason not to get this free issue.

Plus, I just love Hellboy. A lot. If marketing a spinoff of Mike Mignola’s jaw-droppingly gorgeous comics to children is what it takes to draw in new readers, I don’t mind at all.

Everything Else The important thing about Free Comic Book Day is to pick up a comic with a beautiful cover and a completely unfamiliar title. Pick up whatever strikes your fancy — it’s free, after all.

Read the first page, and realize it has nothing to do with what you thought it did. Discover that you like the real premise more than the one you expected. Flip through it, develop a taste and maybe come back a week later to snap up the new issue. Then share it with a friend.

We are witnessing a comic book revival. The Marvel Cinematic Universe, which started with Iron Man in 2008 and exploded with The Avengers in 2012, has ensured that comics have never been bigger and that it’s never been a better time to get into them.

Well, there actually hasn’t been a better time yet, because Saturday will be Free Comic Book Day, and that will actually be the best day for newcomers to get into comics.

Free Comic Book Day falls on the first Saturday in May every year. Its purpose is threefold: to celebrate comics with longtime fans, call back lapsed readers and provide an introduction for the uninitiated.

Our own Big Planet Comics on Route 1 will be participating, and if you drop by, there are some hot comics for new and old readers.

Guardians of the Galaxy If you’re the sort of person who has to read the source material before going to see the movie, check out the free issue of Guardians of the Galaxy to get a primer before the movie drops in August.

The Guardians are like the characters from The Breakfast Club of the Marvel Universe — they have a human tree and a genetically engineered raccoon on their side, so there’s nothing too serious about it. This team has only been in action since 2008, so if you get hooked there isn’t a dense amount of lore to dig through. Rocket Raccoon has his own issue available on Emma Atlas is a junior government Saturday, because Marvel knows and politics major.

Take the initiative to raise awareness at the local level Make a concerted effort to bring about your own change within your community MAGGIE CASSIDY On April 13, about 80 miles north of this university, Gettysburg College’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter held an event called Walk a Mile in Her Shoes, in which fraternity members pledged to walk a mile in high-heeled shoes to raise awareness about sexual assault on college campuses.

While it was probably comedic for Gettysburg College students to see grown men lumbering about in four-inch heels, the event allowed comedy to highlight a serious concern affecting college students.

As sexual assault continues to be a significant concern on college campuses, it is refreshing to see awareness of such an important topic acknowledged at a local level.

Students at this university could and should take a lead from Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. Even though these fraternity members are less likely than women to experience sexual assault, they took initiative to bring social change within their college community. Instead of griping about necessary social change, this fraternity took the reign and raised awareness about sexual assault.

There’s an old political adage that says change happens at the local level, which is true. When

an individual or a group of people attempts to make a difference in its local community, that change might “trickle up” to the greater community, and that’s exactly what Gettysburg College’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon did.

Luckily, there are people and organizations at this university willing to make change in their local community in hopes of inciting worldwide change.

For example, this university’s CARE to Stop Violence organizes an event called Take Back the Night, which focuses on sexual assault awareness on college campuses.

Thanks to events like these, social awareness and change can begin at a local level and eventually seep into

the greater community.

C rea t ive a n d co n te m p o ra ry events like Walk a M ile in Her Shoes and Take Back the Night a l l ow s o c i a l c h a n ge to b e g i n locally. They allow participants to co n n e c t t h e i r m e m o r i e s o f the event to the event’s mission.

For example, Gettysburg College students will probably always remember fraternity members wearing Vineyard Vines and red high heels striding across their campus, and they will always remember the stiletto-wearing men were walking in the name of sexual assault awareness.

While there is greater change occurring at this university, there can always be more. With that said, I

challenge this university’s chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon to follow the advice of its members at Gettysburg College. I challenge them, along with myself and the rest of the student population, to effect social change through their own initiative, not someone else’s.

W h e t h e r yo u wa n t to ra i s e awareness of an issue that affects a small percentage of the student body or the entire student population, initiate the change yourself in your local community because this community can be the foundation to the change you see in the world.

orn today, you are driven to pursue that which is mysterious and not clearly laid out before you.

You prefer to chart a course that maintains room for flexibility, improvisation and the inevitable changing of minds and hearts. You are compelled to seek answers that are not readily apparent and of which the questions themselves are not altogether clear. You understand that life itself is not a constant; it is something to be understood only rarely and anticipated even less. You thrive on the kinds of situations that others actually do their best to avoid -- those that highlight the wonders, uncertainties, and mysteries of the world around you.

Of course, none of this means that you don’t also like things to turn out your way.

Indeed, you enjoy working toward goals that are clear and concrete! You don’t, however, let yourself become frustrated when things seem to go against you; you simply shift gears quickly and work even harder to achieve what you set out to do.

Also born on this date are: Jessica Alba, actress; Jay Leno, comedian and television host; Penelope Cruz, actress; Ann-Margret, actress; James Monroe, U.S. president; Mary McDonnell, actress; Saddam Hussein, former president of Iraq; Lionel Barrymore, actor; Paul Guilfoyle, actor.

To see what is in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star be your daily guide.

TUESDAY, APRIL 29 TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may have to ask others to rearrange their schedules and make other concessions to an abrupt and unexpected change in your fortunes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may have trouble getting started, but once you do, you’re likely to achieve something that wins you a good deal of praise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -You may not feel rested as the day begins because so much has been on your mind that it has crept into your dreams. Don’t push it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may have to deal with a harsh financial reality that you have, in fact, tried to avoid or prevent in the past days or weeks.

FEATURE | CROWDFUNDED ART PROJECTS

kicking it up a notch As Kickstarter turns 5 years old, several students and groups are using crowdfunding methods to support art-related initiatives

By Zoë DiGiorgio @zozoembie Staff writer A new video game console. Wireless earbuds. A virtual reality helmet. Card games. The Veronica Mars movie.

These are just a few of the many innovative products that might not have stood a chance of getting funded by conventional methods. However, thanks to the Internet, new windows have opened up for inventors, entrepreneurs and artists to fund their projects through people all around the world.

Today marks the fifth anniversary of crowdfunding site Kickstarter. From student-created business startups to campus a cappella groups raising money to fund albums, the use of these sites has grown significantly in the past few years. Crowdfunding websites — including Kickstarter, Indiegogo and GoFundMe — have revolutionized how products are funded and developed and have allowed students at this university to expand their fundraising efforts.

Bryan Doyle, a junior computer science major and clarinetist in the university marching band, is one of the stu-

dents in charge of the band’s campaign to raise money for a new van to transport marching band equipment throughout the campus. Doyle said crowdfunding has helped fundraising efforts.

“We get to reach out to the alumni and people not even associated with the university,” Doyle said. “It really gives us a much better chance.”

Doyle and the other students behind the band campaign are using crowdfunding platform Launch UMD. Exclusive to this university, Launch UMD provides student groups, including the UMD Chamber Singers and this campus’ chapter of Engineers Without Borders, a platform to build their campaigns.

Though it is Doyle’s first time leading a crowdfunding campaign, he said he is pleased with the project’s success thus far. Doyle said the van campaign has raised about $1,000, and it met its initial goal of $8,000 Saturday.

When a creator’s project is successfully funded, backers reap the benefits through various incentives, which are reward promises to donors. Doyle said alumni were many of the donors, so the band had to get creative.

“Specifically for us, we had to think

The poetry game, a project created by English lecturer Zahara Heckscher, works with students in class to raise funds for the game. The game uses Yiddish, Arabic and English poetry. The Poetry Game has raised $1,070 of its $3,000 goal in one month on crowdfunding website Indiegogo. photo courtesy of the poetry game’s indiegogo page a little outside the box and give some intangibles,” he said.

Zahara Heckscher, a lecturer in the English department’s Professional Writing Program, used crowdfunding to publish a book. She’s now bringing her experience with Indiegogo to the classroom to teach students product development and marketing for the 21st century. Heckscher said by using what she calls the New Startup Model, her students have bypassed the tedious process of submitting a business plan and lining up investors.

This year, Heckscher has been working with her classes to develop and market The Poetry Game, a game she invented with friends in the 1990s that uses prompt cards to stimulate poetry writing. Between her winter class, which designs the game, and her current ENGL398B: Writing for Social Entrepreneurship class, what would have been a lengthy process of developing and marketing the game was distilled into about five months.

“It could literally take years to get things off the ground,” she said.

Senior English major Ryan Serrano has worked on the game since its inception in January. He originally worked on the design of the product and now oversees the Indiegogo campaign as a teaching assistant for Hecksher’s class.

Though he said he’s disappointed by the amount of money raised so far — The Poetry Game still has less than half of its necessary funding — Serrano is committed to the future of the product as new game mechanics are added and its app version enters beta testing. Serrano said he is most excited for the game’s online growth.

“I really believe in this as a personal project,“ he said.

The Indiegogo campaign not only has enabled The Poetry Game to reach a wide audience of potential backers, but it also has allowed students to explore new entrepreneurial writing styles as they develop the campaign.

“I’m really enthusiastic about crowdfunding as an educational tool,” Heckscher said. “It’s something that’s real-world, that’s going to reach outside the classroom.” zdigiorgiodbk@gmail.com

irish From PAGE 8 to tie the game at five with 8:30 remaining, the teams traded possession before long pole Michael Ehrhardt forced a turnover and the Terps cleared past the midfield line.

The Terps established possession with 4:43 on the clock and held the ball for more than two minutes without taking a shot on net, but the referees did not call for a 30-second shot clock. The possession ended when Fighting Irish goalkeeper Conor Kelly saved West’s shot.

The Fighting Irish cleared and took a timeout with 2:02 left in the game, but a series of sloppy passes gave the ball back to the Terps 20 seconds later, and Tillman called a timeout with 1:16 remaining.

Tillman said he anticipated the Terps would be able to hold for the last shot, especially considering their previous possession. But 33 seconds out of the timeout, the referees signaled the start of the 30second shot clock while Cannizzaro had possession, which ultimately forced Chanenchuk to make a move to shoot earlier than Tillman had wanted.

That left enough time for the

“Our defense played a great game,” Amato said. “There’s room for improvement, but we communicated well, we trusted our game plan and we followed the scouting report.”

Last week in South Bend, Indiana, the Terps and Fighting Irish were tied at eight in the final period when West hit a post and LoCascio collected the rebound, finishing the goahead goal in an eventual 12-8 victory on the road. Friday night at PPL Park, though, the Terps — who only scored five times on 37 shots — failed to make the key play to seal a win.

And while the referee’s shotclock call late in the game took the Terps by surprise, Tillman said lack of offensive execution led to his team’s downfall.

“Regardless of what happens, regardless of what the situations are,” Tillman said, “we need to play better.”

With a two-goal lead to start the second half, the Terps defense locked down and held Treanor and the rest of the Syracuse offense scoreless for more than 15 minutes.

Cummings scored twice during the stretch to notch her own hat trick and gave the Terps a commanding 10-5 lead with her third goal.

The Orange controlled six of nine draws in the second half, but the Terps defense forced six turnovers to negate the extra possessions.

“We were able to make some changes at halftime, and it really paid off in the second half,” Reese said.

When the Orange finally scored in the second half, Cummings forced a turnover and found midfielder Beth Glaros for the answering goal. The Terps again went on a 3-0 run, which sealed the victory.

The Terps bench emptied as the clock struck zero, and the Terps hoisted the ACC trophy for the sixth straight time before they head to the Big Ten next season.

The Terps’ draw control wins and strong defense held the Orange without a shot for the first 10 minutes of the contest.

The Orange did settle into an offensive rhythm midway through the first half, and scored two straight goals to tie the game. And after midfielder Zoe Stukenberg found the back of the net for the Terps, the Orange responded to tie the score at three. It was the final time Syracuse pulled even.

The Terps controlled the next three draws, scoring on each possession — all in a span of less than three minutes — and entering halftime with a 7-5 lead.

Attacker Kayla Treanor, the leading goal-scorer in the ACC, helped the Orange keep the game close despite its struggles in the draw circle. She beat defender Megan Douty on wraparound shots twice in the period and added a goal on a free position for a hat trick in the first half.

SOFTBALL

Jake Stinnett was in trouble. The Terrapins baseball right-hander had runners on second and third with no outs in the first inning of Friday’s series opener at Boston College. Stinnett got one out on an infield pop-up, but then he worked the count to 1-1 on right fielder Chris Shaw.

Shaw drove the next pitch over the right-field wall for a three-run homer that provided all the offense the Eagles needed in a 5-1 victory.

That was the first of three losses this weekend in which the Terps failed to overcome early deficits.

Boston College, who entered the series with the second-worst conference record, used early runs to earn a sweep a week after the Terps took two of three from then-No. 25 Georgia Tech and clinched their second ACC series victory of the season.

“You should never lose three games on a weekend,” coach John Szefc said. “The games weren’t close at all. A very, very disappointing effort in general.”

Stinnett, who had thrown two straight complete games, made his shortest start in more than a month in Game 1 on Friday. Stinnett went six innings and allowed four runs — all in the first inning — on seven hits and two walks.

A wild pitch plated the final score of the inning after Shaw’s threerun blast.

While the Eagles (17-27, 8-16 ACC) tallied four hits during the final eight innings, the Terps (25-18, 9-14) were held in check by right-hander John Gorman, who entered with a 4.10 ERA. “There’s still eight innings to go, so you can’t really worry about being in a hole from the start,” center fielder Charlie White said. “There’s a lot of game left, but we just didn’t execute when we needed to in those middle and late innings.”

The Terps also allowed four runs in the first inning of Game 2 on Friday — the teams played a doubleheader because of a rainy forecast for Saturday — when the

Right-hander M ike Shawaryn, who won five of his first six starts, allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings and struck out eight.

The Eagles had five hits in the four-run first inning of Game 2, but their offense faltered again after the early outburst and produced four hits the rest of the game. Still, whenever the Terps cut the deficit, the Eagles responded with runs in the bottom of the inning.

In the third, the Terps scored two runs, but Shaw extended the Eagles’ lead to 5-2 with a solo blast to right field. The Terps and Eagles both scored two runs in the sixth.

The Terps entered the ninth down 7-4 and loaded the bases with one out before back-to-back fly outs sealed the result.

The Eagles scored in the second inning of Game 3 to take an early lead and broke open a 2-0 game with three runs in the eighth. The Terps had three hits and wasted a quality start from left-hander Jake Drossner in a 5-2 loss.

Drossner allowed two runs (one earned), four hits and one walk while striking out seven in 6.2 innings. But Eagles right-hander Jeff Burke was even better. Burke entered the game with a 5.25 ERA but limited the Terps to two runs in eight innings.

Schmeiser, who entered the series with a 1.96 ERA in her past seven games, had trouble retiring opposing hitters. The junior allowed nine runs in 3.1 innings, her worst pitching performance since surrendering 10 runs in four innings to then-No. 8 Florida State on April 5.

Watten started pitcher Madison Martin in Game 2 but removed her in the second inning. Watten said Martin got hit on the hand during her at-bat in the first inning and couldn’t feel the ball in the circle.

Terps claim sixth straight ACC title after cruising by Syracuse Cummings’ success in draw circle leads to championship win

By Ryan Baillargeon @RyanBaillargeon Staff writer Midfielder Taylor Cummings led the Terrapins women’s lacrosse team onto the field at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, on Sunday afternoon for the ACC championship game against Syracuse. And the moment she controlled the opening draw, Cummings set the tone for the rest of the contest.

Cummings dominated inside the draw circle and helped the No. 1-seed Terps control 10 of the 13 draws in the

first half. The Terps capitalized on the extra possessions and locked down defensively in the second half to beat No. 2-seed Syracuse 13-7 to win their sixth consecutive ACC title and 11th overall. “[Cummings] was really able to control the draw today for us and really control both ends of the field,” coach Cathy Reese said.

The Terps entered the contest with a 300-172 advantage in draw controls, but the Orange came in with similar success, boasting a 272-182 advantage. In the end, the Terps prevailed, with Cummings controlling a gamehigh seven draws, which allowed them

to dominate possession.

After Cummings took the first draw, attacker Brooke Griffin picked up where she left off in Friday’s semifinal game. Griffin scored five goals against No. 5-seed Virginia to lead the Terps offense, and she scored the first goal Sunday against the Orange.

The redshirt junior scored again a few minutes later, and the Terps controlled the ensuing draw to prevent a chance for Syracuse to answer quickly. When the Orange did gain possession, the Terps defenders See Orange, Page 7
