Senate reviews homecoming attendance u By Aubrie Lawrence News Editor

Photo by Devin Fulton

CSC Associate Professor of Communications Shaunda French-Collins and Lorie Hunn, professor of Applied Sciences judge the club window paintings downtown for 2019 homecoming.

This week, senate discussed the student trustee application and homecoming attendance.

The application for the student trustee position is now available.

Homecoming was reported to have high attendance and participation numbers. 700 students voted for homecoming king and 726 voted for homecoming queen. 342 students checked in to coronation, though the homecoming committee estimated that there were more in attendance. 37 clubs were represented in the homecoming festivities.

A mandatory accounting training event was available to all clubs on Monday. 35 clubs attended the training. A makeup session will be held today from 11 a.m. to noon.

Senate also opened the floor

for a group discussion on the upcoming Spring Days to get an idea of what they wanted it to include this year.

“The first one was, by far, the best one, ” Senator at Large Cody Cooper said.

Student senate requested $647.00 for a two-day trip to Purdue for the annual NSCA conference. This request was approved in full. $2,500.00 was requested to bring in motivational speaker and retired Chicago Cubs baseball player Chris Singleton to present his motivational speech “Love Your Neighbor-Love is Stronger than Hate.” Senate motioned to approve the full request, but the motion failed upon voting. The senate decided to table the request until further information could be provided to them.

Pre-vet club requested $559.00

in fundraiser seed money to help support their spooky pooch walk fundraiser. The funds would be reimbursed after the event takes place. After a brief discussion, senate approved the amount.

Senate still has $39,237.88 in unallocated funds.

October is adviser month. This is the time for students to meet with their advisors and discuss their classes as well as their ambitions for the future.

“I’d talk to them and not just focus on strictly your schedule.”

President Lukas Klueber said.

The Evil Dead will be performed in Memorial Hall from October 3 to the 6. The show will begin at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and will begin at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Please visit the website to reserve seats.

The Pit will be hosting a spooky sip and paint today at 7 p.m.

Midterm break is a good chance to relax

M

idterm week is here and so are all the looming deadlines. For many students here, this time of the year is nothing we aren’t used to. But, for all the freshmen, this week could serve as their first academically stressful college experience.

The good news is the efforts during your tests will be rewarded with a twoday break. Two days may seem like a short break, but we are only midway through the semester. Including the weekend, four days off is a long time to catch your breath.

Use this time off to recap college experiences with friends and family.

Or take the time to finish priorities that were swept aside by classes.

Regardless of how you use this time, you should consider finding ways to set yourself apart from other students when the break ends.

It’s easy to become complacent after midterm break because the routines you’ve formed during the first half of the semester are put on a four-day halt.

It is also easy to form lazy habits over the break when you don’t have any impending deadlines motivating you to be productive.

Find a balance with your life during the break to ensure you relax, but also do something of meaning. This could be something as small as cleaning your room or organizing future classwork.

This is also a perfect opportunity to catch up on anything you are behind in.

Often times in school we wish for more time to complete an assignment, well, the moment is presenting itself to you.

Take advantage of this time off and you will come back ahead of the curve.

A problem some students face after break is laziness, but you must get over

this vice if you want to get anywhere you want.

It is nice to relax for a moment, but we all signed up for college knowing our minds would be put to the test daily. It’s a harsh reality going from a fourday weekend to the trials of a college environment once again.

We are entering the make-or-break time of year because now you must readjust to your daily schedule once again. Don’t give up on your classes and clubs.

The semester only gets faster, so catching up on all your stuff will suit you well. Soon enough, we will have final exams and the next thing you know, Christmas is around the corner.

However we are here to remind you not to give up before the race is over. The battle is only half won. The end goal is to finish this semester.

As You Said It! We asked: What one study tip would you give someone to get through midterms?

Consumption is fading our souls u By Devin Fulton Opinion Editor

Imagine if for just one day, an alien visited America to see how humans lived. I bet the creature would return to its home planet saying “Dude, those guys are killing themselves in a weirdly comfortable way”.

The extraterrestrial creature would go through one day, experiencing all the consumption it could handle before feeling itself deteriorating. As the day comes to an end, the creature says, “You can’t consume your way to peace and happiness” and once it disappears, we’d say “Well I sure am not taking advice from a hippie”.

We consume too much nowadays, and we are too addicted to overcome it. Corporations have us figured out, hence why we see many items marketed towards emotions and feelings. When tragedy strikes, businesses are the first on the scene to sell their product with a hash tag, col-

lecting most of the profits. Unfortunately, Cause Marketing convinces the consumer they are doing the right thing by buying a product. Instead, people could donate their money straight to the victim or a research center rather than making the rich richer and the sick sicker.

I see the corny joke on social media that says, “Purpose, I thought you said purchase” and Devin Fulton while it generally gets many engagements, so do the wallets of identity of how we hydrate ourcorporations. Every time I see selves. I can’t help but think of that joke, I can hear businessmen President Jimmy Carter’s famous cheering for the fact they’ve in- “Crisis in Confidence” speech in filtrated our sense of humor with 1979 as he states, “Human idenconsumption. We’ve overcome tity is no longer defined by what too much adversity in history to one does, but by what one owns”. allow our lives to be succumbed It is no surprise that business to making useless purchases ev- is the most popular major. In ery day.

2015, 19 percent of bachelor’s High schoolers face the social degrees were in business. This pressure of who has the coolest is not to take away from those shoes and college students are pursuing the major, but in a now representing their stick- world where most of our surviver-loaded Hydro Flask bottles. al needs are abundantly met, we Consumption now dictates the still choose money over passion,

quantity over quality. We would rather have more materials than memories. Your soul hides behind each item you treasure, but your character shines through with actions.

A compliment to one’s smile always holds more value than a compliment to their shoes or jacket because we only bought the item, but the smile is who we are.

History is just a big story of humanity, making us all storytellers and characters in our own stories. If someone were to view your story, how many advertisements would they see placed in it?

Unfortunately, anyone who argues against consumption is denounced as some hippie. This is what society does when their comfort feels threatened, they make the truth sound outrageous.

We feel so compelled to listen to people with lots of money that we elected a businessman/celeb-

rity as our president. We listen to celebrities speak about climate preservation as they fly back to their oversized mansion in a private jet. Sadly, we don’t listen to the person who sees consumption as a way of manipulating our emotions and passions.

We are slowly losing ourselves with each possession, which is why it’s no coincidence depression is quickly rising in our society.

At one point, we were kids with big aspirations to do great things. Now, we are scared adults who rely on the dopamine we get with each purchase.

There is good news though, people hate living this way, but are afraid to go against the flow.

This means you will immediately stick out as a beacon of light by being yourself and pursuing your passion.

Create more and consume less, I promise you, not only does the world need this, but so do you.

Without pressure there are no diamonds u By Devin Fulton Opinion Editor

It’s that time of year when stress takes over as our schedules get filled with an abundance of assignments and events along with deadlines.

This year I am embracing this challenging time , but instead of viewing it as an annoyance, I see it as a special occasion of academic and personal growth.

We should not worry too much about the final stretch of assignments, responsibilities, etc.

After all, this is what we signed up for and getting angry about deadlines is a waste of much needed energy. Wouldn’t it work in our favor to just hammer

out the tough work while enjoying the eventful atmosphere?

That, to me, is the true college experience.

Stress certainly is not fun and charming, but we do forget that it is a critical part of our lives and tend to paint this evil picture of it.

Imagine if you never felt any stress about anything for the rest of your life, would you accomplish the things you want? Or would you remain purposeless and complacent? Stress gives us that internal message that we need to accomplish something and make something of ourselves.

Embrace this stress as an opportunity to become a better person who attacks the challeng-

Devin Fulton es life throws your way instead of dodging problems.

Do take steps to mitigate your stress, but worrying about being stressed is too redundant to be effective.

Try viewing this stressful part of the year as the dramatic

sequence that turns a good year into a great and memorable one.

Every great story has that intense part near the end when someone barely escapes a nerve-wracking situation.

When school is finished up, you will ask yourself the question: Did I put forth my best effort under pressure? Or did I allow myself to fold? Keep this in mind during midterm and final exams this semester.

The point I am trying to make here is that you are going to be fine regardless what happens, but it is important that you embrace this stressful situation as an opportunity to flourish.

It is much better to grind until you shine instead of watching success fly past you. You know

what they say: no pressure, no diamonds.

Stress is what motivates us and we should not run away from it because this is impossible. It seems as an uneasy feeling, so we automatically try to find ways to cover it up with a blanket. This is an internal feeling telling you that something must be done.

Trying to avoid this feeling will only result in future disasters. If you don’t listen to your internal warning, then you will be forced to deal with the external crisis.

Luckily, stress is simple enough to deal with as long as you actually take care of the problem at hand. If you keep ignoring a problem for your comfort, it only grows.

As They See It ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

You are responsible for your growth

u By Rachel Mitchell Columnist

For many of us, this is our senior and final year at Chadron State.

As exciting as it is to be in the final stretch for what ever degree you are trying to finish, it can be very daunting.

A lot of things could be changing in your life right now.

Many of you are applying for jobs, internships, or master’s programs.

This can be very overwhelming because you are beginning to shape your future.

With this future shaping going on many things that were once important to you may be falling to the side.

Whether that be people or interests, you are bound to outgrow some of the things you once were really passionate about. As you get older and have to adjust your focus there are going to be things you are not going to have space for in your life.

Learning to grow up and grow out of some of the immature people in your life is okay.

There are always going to be people in your life that are just enough younger than you that when you are starting to move to the next phase in your life, they are still in the past.

It is okay to leave them behind. Not everyone is meant to be in your life forever. Not everyone is going to want to see you move on and work on your

Rachel Mitchell future.

It is also important to know that life is going to really tear you down. It is up to you to use that to motivate you to keep going. No one else will make you do anything in life besides you.

You are the one who has to rise above everything.

You have to be able to take

what the world does and do your best to learn and move on. Not every day is going to be easy.

Not every situation is going to be desirable.

But when that happens you have to remember you are just building your strength. Whether it’s physical, mental, emotional or professional, you are growing.

Don’t let it bring you down.

It is exciting to finally be able to make your own choices and start figuring out the next step in your life, but it can be very difficult to know you are responsible for your choices.

You are the one who picks the colleges you apply to and attend.

You are the one who is responsible for what jobs you apply for and take.

You are really and truly

responsible for the next step in your life and that can be tough to swallow.

But remember, even though some of the choices are extremely hard, you are doing your absolute best. You are giving your future everything you got.

Yes, some days are going to be harder than others. Yes, some people are going to have to leave your life for you to grow. Yes, you are responsible for your actions.

But with all that said you are the one who is succeeding, trying and making your own way in the world.

Be proud of the tough choices you’re making. Be proud of getting through the tough days.

Be proud of yourself.

STEPPING UP WITH ABIGAIL

Don’t wallow in social atmospheres u By Abigail Swanson Columnist

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a graphic design workshop. Eight of us drove up to Rapid City, South Dakota, and spent all day listening to a wellknown graphic designer. Pro Tip: if you want to read textbooks on the drive, don’t sit in the back of the van, right over the wheel.

Anyway, besides the keys to great graphic design, I learned what it was like to be surrounded by hipsters. This was not an altogether unpleasant feeling, I mean if I were raised slightly differently, I might be a hipster—I think I could pull off the look. Though, I took the Buzzfeed quiz and

scored definitely-not-hipster-inany-way. But being immersed in a single-minded group of people, when you do not quite share their beliefs, is a bit unsettling.

I kept thinking, what if they see that I am not one of them? Was this really the best day to wear a leather jacket? I mean, I got it at a thrift shop, but they don’t know that.

Feeling so out of place made me want to fit in and go unnoticed. I held in comments I may have made in other company. I did not want to show too much of my own personality and clash with the personalities around me. And sometimes, that’s what you need to do, sacrifice your preferences for the peace of the

Abigail Swanson group. I can have conversations with a lot more people if I don’t always have to be right. That’s not to say that there are not things you should stand up for.

Most definitely there are, and each person has to decide exactly which causes they will defend

and fight for, and which ones are less important than a relationship with the person sitting beside them.

In a conversation with my sister, she mentioned that she didn’t think I could ever be pushed into some regulation personality box—even amidst strong social pressure she assured me my personality would peek through.

I am less sure of my strength of personality—in small ways I blend in to whatever personality landscape I wander into. I may not agree with you, but I don’t want to argue about it right now. If you ask me my opinion, I will tell you in blunt terms, but otherwise, I don’t need to share.

Does that mean that I don’t

have strength of character? Not necessarily, there are things I will disagree about even if it singles me out. I don’t like confrontation, most people I know don’t.

But there are things worth going out of your comfort zone for.

The next time you are surrounded by hipsters or are intimidated by how sure everyone else is, don’t let it keep you from expressing yourself. You may want to hold back some politically charged comments, because then you will waste the opportunity to get to know different people. Respect their opinions, they have as much to be wrong as you do, but don’t be afraid to speak up for what is really important to you.

THEATRE, from page 1 The horror-themed musical emulates the 1981 movie led by Bruce Campbell, by having you locked in with suspense, but relieving any fear with comic relief.

Starring as “Ash”, Zackary Wellnitz, senior of Gordon, is the protagonist of the play. Wellnitz serves the role of Ash proudly by wielding a double-barreled shotgun in his left hand, and a chainsaw in his right, yelling “This is my boomstick!” as he shoots a Candarian Demon.

The play begins with a musical number sang by five college students on their way to an abandoned cabin.

But terror awaits as they come across the Necronomicon, or the book of the dead, and a tape recording. Now trapped by an evil power, it is up to Ash to make sure the students not only have a good time on spring break, but

also return home safely. It’s up to you to watch how the crew makes it out of the cabin.

The musical features two acts composed of nine songs each. Various effects like blood splatter and violence are included along with weapon props. Three students perform the entire soundtrack live below the stage as Bobby Pace, music accompanist, plays the keyboard, Ian Meng sophomore of Gordon plays guitar and Kyle Kuxhausen, senior of Scottsbluff plays the drums.

This musical takes you on a spooky adventure from start to finish, but the satirical college student dialogue will have you laughing with fear.

The musical features four students performing for their first time at CSC but display the performance of a savvy veteran in the acting community.

HOMECOMING

C

SC’s 2019 Homecoming King and Queen crowns were claimed by Miles Englebert, senior of Burdock, South Dakota, and Taryn Foxen, junior of Aurora, Colorado.

On Tuesday Sept. 24, the homecoming coronation ceremony and spirit rally, was held at Elliot Field at Don Beebe Stadium. CSS President Randy Rhine spoke and announced the winners for the homecoming court.

The ceremony was followed by the annual Cardinal Key’s lighting of C-Hill. Over 35 clubs participated in this year’s event, which included coronation, window painting and the parade.

“I feel loved by the community of Chadron. I have met so many amazing people,” Foxen said.

“I also love that I was able to represent my club,” she added. Engle-

2019

bert left a message for his peers.

“Have fun, enjoy college while you can, everything is a great experience if you make it one,” he said.

This year’s attendants to the King and Queen are: Joel Schroeder, senior of Paxton, Chaona Radtke, senior of Sidney, Caleb Haskell, junior of Madison, Celeste Cardona, junior of Mitchell, Devin Fulton, senior of Glenrock, Wyoming, Emily Hansen, junior, of Hemingford, Travis Mills, senior of Rapid City, South Dakota, and Paola Rodriguez, junior, of Marquette.

Kim Hernandez, a CSC alumnus and former Homecoming Queen and Kevin Coy, also a CSC alumnus, announced the candidates. At the end of the ceremony, Rhine thanked those present.

“Each of you possess so many qualities that make this institution so special. Thank you for choos-

ing to engage in this organization.”

Rhine said.

Afterwards was the lighting of C-Hill, an annual tradition where students and community members set lanterns along the C on the hill.

They were then invited to a bondfire for s’mores and more celebrating behind the complex.

The parade was met with a dreary morning Saturday with rain and cold temperatures. NSCS Chancellor Paul Turman was not able to join as parade Marshal due to weather.

However, clubs, alumni and other groups all gathered for the homecoming parade which started on campus and went down Main St. and finishing at First St. 2019 Homecoming was wrapped up with the football game at 1 p.m. on Elliot Field at Don Beebe Stadium. The Eagles were defeated by Colorado Mesa 30-42.

Lifestyles Celebrating author R.L. Stine and ‘Goosebumps’ Oct. 8 is famous author Robert Lawrence Stine’s birthday u By Abby White Contributor

At the beginning of October we’re all thinking that Halloween will be right around the corner. For most of us young readers October is significant as the month of children’s horror author R.L. Stine’s birthday.

Robert Lawrence Stine, better known as R.L. Stine, born Oct. 8, 1943, is a best-selling author of more than 300 books including his most popular series, “Goosebumps”. He began writing when he was nine years old after finding a typewriter in the attic, and he’s been writing ever since. His writ-

ing career started with little joke books, when he was known as ‘Jovial Bob Stine’. It carried on to short stories and comic books, and then got scary in 1986 with his first novel, “Blind Date”, where he decided to use his initials, R.L., to better complement the seriousness of the novel.

In 1989 he began the “Fear Street” series before getting into “Goosebumps”. The series began in 1992 and has grown to include over 130 titles, including four published this year. Stine’s personal favorite from his monumental series is “The Haunted Mask”.

When asked why he writes creepy books, he replies that he “just likes to scare people!” and

added that when he and his brother went to see scary movies, they were never scared: they just laughed!

RLA gives students a chance to make a mixed snack. u By Yen Nguyen Reporter

RLA hosted “Trail Mix Night” in the Hub, attracting 75 people, Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m.

The event allowed for people to come and make their own trail mix bag and take home the product. There is a variety of options, including peanuts, cashew, almond, pretzels, dried fruit, marshmallows, and chocolate.

According to RA, Sara Taggart, 22 senior of Harrisburg, Trail Mix Night is a healthy lifestyle event where people can customize their snacks with the provided ingredients.

“Looks like they have lots of creativity and it’s really healthy, too,” said Taggart.

“I just want everything between sweet and salty to unhealthy marshmallow and chocolate. I look at the regular trail mix bag and throw these out separately so people can mix and match the bag of their own,” she said.

The budget for this event was initially $150 but she ended up needing $75 to purchase ingredients for the mix, according to Taggart.

“I tried to figure out how to make non-allergy stuff but there weren’t lots of options at Walmart,” Taggart said.

15 minutes into the event, the ingredients were pretty much cleaned up by students.

Taggart had to regularly fill up the selections because of this high-demand. Taggart said she would bring more options, different things, widen the horizon if she held this event again.

“I like the options, especially pretzels. My least favorite would be the dried banana but there are lots of choices, so it doesn’t really matter,” Chinaza Nwosa, 20, senior of Lagos, Nigeria said.

The coming RLA events are both on Saturday, “Tie Dye Fun Time,” 11 a.m. in the Hub, and “DIY Stress Ball,” 2 p.m. in Edna Conference Room.

Playoffs in jeopardy as Eagles lose third straight u By Devin Fulton Sports Reporter

The Chadron State Eagles lost their third consecutive game, Saturday, a 42-30 loss to the Colorado Mesa Mavericks on homecoming at Elliott Field.

After being ranked in the preseason, the Eagles now sit at 1-3 and are riding a three-game losing streak for the first time since 2016 when the team finished the season 3-8.

“Last week when we lost, it really hurt. It stung” Head Coach Jay Long said of the Eagles’ loss to Fort Lewis the week prior. But this week’s loss wasn’t the same, he said.

“Our guys played hard and we were in the game until the very end,” Long said. “I’m proud of my guys for that.

They represented what we preach, what we do, really well.”

“Last year, we made the play at the end and we beat them in the same type of game,” he said, “This year they got

us at the end.”

CSC quarterback Dalton Holst, junior of Gillette, Wyoming, threw three interceptions, including two in the fourth quarter that were returned for touchdowns.

Down 35-30 with 33 seconds remaining in the game, Chadron’s last hope for a win began on their own 10-yard line, but Mesa’s Justin White, freshman of Aguora Hills, California, intercepted Holst’s pass on the first play of the drive and ran 33 yards into

the end zone to seal the game.

The Eagles led 23-13 midway through the third quarter until the Mavericks scored 22 unanswered points to go up 35-23 in the midway through the fourth quarter. 15 of those points were scored thirty seconds apart after Mesa’s Nick Ciccio, sophomore of Las Vegas, scored on Holst’s second interception of the game.

EAGLES,

Rough stock contestants and steer wrestlers led the way for Chadron State College at the Central Wyoming College rodeo in Riverton, Wyoming, over the weekend.

Kyle Bloomquist of Raymond, Minn., continued his winning ways while riding barebacks. He took top honors by winning both go-rounds with scores of 76 and 77 points. He also tied for first at the CSC rodeo and won the event at the Sheridan College rodeo. That gives him 485 points through the three rodeos and a 165-point lead in the Central Rocky Mountain Region standings.

Bull rider Miles Englebert of Burdock, S.D., also had a good weekend.

After being crowned Chadron State’s homecoming king, he remained in Chadron to ride in the parade down Main Street on Saturday morning.

He then drove himself to Riverton and won the first go-round of the bull riding that night with a 77-point ride.

Englebert didn’t get a score in the championship go-round Sunday morning, but finished second in the rodeo’s final standings and is now third on the regional

list.

Also in rough stock action, Garrett Uptain of Craig, Colo., finished fourth in saddle bronc riding with 71 and 73 points.

Three CSC entries were among the 10 steer wrestling finalists. Cole Retchless of Bridgeport led the Eagles by placing second with 4.2- and 4.0-second runs, Tate Petrak of Martin, S.D., was fifth in 4.8 and 4.2 seconds and Cade Pokorny of Thedford was eighth in 4.7 and 5.2 seconds The only Chadron State cowgirl to place in the finals was Quincy Segelke of Douglas, Wyo. She was fifth in goat tying in 8.5- and 8.4 seconds.

Three more CSC women made the breakaway roping finals. Melisa Cominello of Burlington, Colo., and Brook Jamison of Hyannis tied for third and fourth in the first go-round in 2.8 seconds and Rieley Maier of Bowdle, S.D., shared 10th place with a 3.2-second run.

However, each missed in the championship go-round.

Each of the Chadron State finalists at Riverton is a senior except Pokorny, who is a junior.

Lamar College in southern Colorado will host this weekend’s rodeo in the region.

Following the pick-six, Holst kept CSC’s hopes alive as he marched the Eagles down field for an 11-play, 61-yard scoring drive and found receiver Cole Thurness, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota, for a 12-yard touchdown pass. The TD brought CSC within five points of Mesa with 1:39 left in the game.

The Mavericks scored the game’s first points on their first possession when Aaron Howard, sophomore of Chandler, Arizona, threw a quick pass to Peter Anderson, senior of Centennial, Colorado, who outran CSC’s defense for a 74-yard touchdown. Anderson finished the game with six catches for 168 yards and one touchdown. He is second in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference with 535 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season.

The Eagles’ offense gained 217 yards on the ground with running backs Elijah Myles, sophomore of

Hawthorne, California, rushed for 114 yards and two touchdowns, and Stevann Brown, senior of Casper, Wyoming, with 89 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Holst provided balance on offence with 253 yards and one touchdown through the air. Along with his three interceptions, he was sacked three times by Mesa.

CSC’s defense only sacked Mesa’s quarterback once, but forced four turnovers off three fumbles, two of which were recovered by Demetrious McFadden, senior of Pahokee, Florida, and one interception by Cole Condon, freshman of Temecula, California.

The Eagles travel to Gunnison, Colorado, Saturday to face Western Colorado University. Western is currently sixth in the RMAC standings with a record of 2-2.

Eagle volleyball loses two in Colorado u By Brandon Davenport Sports Editor

After winning their first two Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference matches this season, the Chadron State Eagles’ volleyball team was swept on the road by both the Colorado Christian University Cougars and Regis University Rangers, this weekend.

The Eagles were at their best in the third sets of both matches as they battled to stay alive, but couldn’t pull ahead despite being close at the end. Friday’s loss to the Cougars in Lakewood, Colorado, came 20-25, 20-25, 23-25. Against Regis, in Denver, the Eagles fell 1025, 19-25, 22-25.

The Eagles never trailed by more than two points in their final set against Regis, and pulled to 22-23 on an attack error by the Rangers’ Rachel Siurek, sophomore of Broomfield, Colorado. A kill from Regis’ Caitlyn Burroway, junior of League City, Texas, led to match point and an attack error by CSC’s Karli Noble, junior of Cheyenne, Wyoming, ended the match in the Rangers’ favor.

In the third set against the Cougars on Friday, the Eagles led 4-2 early before falling behind, but rebounded to lead 15-11 mid-set.

A pair of three-point streaks then helped the Cougars pull ahead at 17-16 and Regis never trailed there on.

Tied 23-23 a pair of kills, first from CCU’s Katie Henry, senior of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, then from the Cougars’ Kristy Dick, sophomore of Casper, Wyoming , put an end to the match.

The losses moved CSC to 8-4 this season, while Regis is 10-3 and second in the standings as of Wednesday. CCU is 5-8 after defeating the Eagles on Friday and losing to MSU Denver, Saturday.

Freshman Rylee Greiman of Windsor, Colorado led the CSC attack with 11 kills against the Cougars, but hit just .158 with five errors on 38 attempts. Sophomore Aracely Hernandez of Greeley, Colorado had a hitting percentage of .250 to lead the team. She had eight kills

and three errors on 22 attempts. As a team the Eagles hit just .135.

Freshman setter Tori Strickbine, of Stillwell, Kansas , had 28 assists in the match.

On defense, both Shelby Schouten, senior of Alton, Iowa, and Chandler Hageman, sophomore of Chadron, had three blocks, the most of any player in the match.

Ashton Burditt, senior of Spearfish, South Dakota, led the team with 15 digs.

None of the Eagles hit double-digit kills against Regis, but CSC was led in the category by senior Kelly Murphy, senior of Evergreen, Colorado, who had eight. The Eagles hit just .071 and had 17 attack errors in the match. It was their sec-

ond lowest attack percentage of the season according to CSC Sports Information. Strickbine had 15 assists.

Schouten led the team’s defense with three blocks and Burditt had 11 digs.

“We need to continue to get better in our defensive system and control our side of the net,” Stadler said to CSC Sports Information. “We saw some moments this weekend, just not consistently.”

The Eagles return to their home court this weekend to face Western Colorado University on Friday and Colorado Mesa University on Saturday. Western is 7-6 overall and 3-2 among RMAC opponents. Mesa is 4-1 in the RMAC and 8-5 overall.

CSC freshman Kinsey Smith hits from a sand trap at Ridgeview Country Club during the Eagles’ womens’ golf team’s preseason fund raiser. Weather shortened the Eagles’ latest Invite to just one round on Monday.

When the CSC women’s golf team left Chadron for the West Texas A&M Fall Intercollegiate, they didn’t leave the rain behind. Though the first round of the tournament was played in full on Monday, Tuesday’s day two canceled because of weather and a flooded course, according to CSC Sports Information.

On Monday, CSC combined for a score of 343, earning them 11th place in a field of 13 teams. Sophomore Alpine Hickstein carded 80 to lead the Eagles and tie for 21st. The meet was won by the hosts who carded 299. The Buffs Holly Winter, junior of Hawera, Taranaki, New Zealand, won the individual title with a score of 71.

CSC’s next-best golfer at the tournament was freshman Kenzey Kanno, of Mitchell, who carded 86. Kanno was followed by Kinsey Smith at 87, Brooke Kramer at 91 and Allison Acosta at 95.

The Eagle’s won’t golf again until Oct. 21 at the Fort Lewis Invitational at UNM Championship Golf Course in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
