TWO CSC ALUMNI INDUCTED TO NEBRASKA AVIATION HALL OF FAME Chadron State graduates Terri Haynes and the late Todd Rickenbach were inducted into the Nebraska Aviation Hall of Fame, Thursday, Jan. 24, at the Nebraska Aviation Symposium in Kearney. Haynes began work as a Certified Flight Instructor in Chadron. She has since taught local students who have later pursued a career in aviation and has expe-

rience in areas like aerial surveillance, fire spotting and aircraft ferrying. Haynes spearheaded the 2018 Nebraska Fly-In. Rickenbach was a student of Haynes and went on to work as a flight instructor and weather observer as well as a captain flying Boeing 737s and the Airbus for Frontier Airlines in Denver.

Club and committee budgets receive widespread approval Shannon Schneider Managing Editor During Monday’s meeting, Senate voted to approve full funding requests for two clubs and two committees’ budgets. The largest budget was allocated to the Events Committee for Spring Days. The $5,800 itemized budget was passed 11-3 abstain, including money for DJ services and decorations. The second-largest budget approval came from Phi Beta Lambda’s (PBL) request for $1,605.16 for their trip to State Leadership Conference in Kearney. A budget breakdown included $845 for registration, $660.16 for rooms and $100 for gas. Vice President Konery Klueber, junior of Rapid City, South Dakota, clarified that although AFB’s trip budget recommendations include options for cheaper hotel rooms, clubs do not have to book in that hotel. “When we approve, or AFB recommends ‘hey, we found a

cheaper hotel’, or whatever that might be, keep in mind that they [clubs] are more than welcome to stay at whatever hotel they would like. However, this is just the amount of money that we’re recommending, so what we’re recommending and therefore providing money for to stay at,” Klueber said. “So if they decide they want to stay at a hotel that’s $180 dollars a night, they’re more than welcome to do that.” Cardinal Key Honor Society received their requested $80.24 for fundraising. CAB Chair Kimberly Hernandez, senior of Scottsbluff, explained that the money will be used for purchasing bracelets to sell for the JDRF 5k, a walk/run that raises Type I diabetes awareness. The bracelets will be sold for $2 each. The Health and Wellness Committee was approved their requested $176.40 for the feminine hygiene initiative, but because of the fluctuating feminine hygiene product prices Senate allocated “no more than $200” for the initiative. Two clubs received 5 percent funding cuts due to missing CAB meetings. $140.48 was deducted from Chi Alpha’s budget, and $25 was cut from the Farm Bureau’s funds.

Sam Klammer, junior of Juanita, announced that the NPAC Committee met with Jeff Turman and “got a lot of questions answered” and will present by-law revisions in Senate’s upcoming meeting. Adviser Megan Northrup reported that The Pit is working on “renovating and doing some different things with The Pit” and will put out surveys regarding The Pit in the next two weeks. Northrup asked students to fill out the surveys in order to see what is valued and what can be added to The Pit. “If you see them (surveys), please stop and take the survey so we can get a feeling for what you guys value or what would add value to the Student Center and make The Pit something you guys want to go to,” Northrup said. “As students change obviously your preferences change, so we want to reflect that in The Pit as well.” Adviser Kurt Kinbacher announced that registration is open for the Fall 2019 semester. Enrollment dates vary depending on class level. For more information, contact an adviser or visit the START office. Senate currently has $30,999.79 in unallocated funds.

Members of sorority Xi Delta Zeta hand out Hershey’s kisses and cancer awareness ribbons, Tuesday, in the Student Center East Hallway.

Members of Xi Delta Zeta and Cardinal Key came together to raise cancer awareness Tuesday and Thursday with the Kiss Away Cancer booth in the Student Center. To commemorate national cancer prevention month, which takes place this February, club members handed out Hershey Kisses and cancer awareness ribbons to students. According to cancer.org, the number of cancer related deaths in the U.S. in 2018 were projected to be 609,640, with 1,735,350 new cancer cases. Since February is prevention month for all types of cancer, the two clubs are raising awareness on campus and reminding students that all cancers, no matter how rare, are important. The clubs spread the word about cancer awareness by asking students to pledge to fight cancer and wear ribbon pins. Xi Delta Zeta also used the opportunity to promote their upcoming Black Heart Black Tie dance, which will take place tonight at 9 p.m. in the Student Center Ballroom.

Abigail Swanson Contributor Hello, my name is Abigail and I am a procrastinator. I put off things, important things. Homework, job applications, doing the dishes, you name it, I’ve put off doing it. It’s not healthy, but procrastination has gotten me this far. In the words of a friend of mine: “If it didn’t work, I wouldn’t keep doing it.” Time’s pressure motivates me to finish my homework. I am not an extreme procrastinator, I don’t leave myself half-an-hour to write an eight-page paper, but I do put off starting until the week the paper is due. My sister tells me I should always eat a frog first thing in the morning. She means I should do the project I hate the most first, then everything else will be easy. I have too many frogs. There is the looming end-of-semester-project frog, the ticking-deadline frog, the ugly frog, the boring frog. I spend days deciding which frog is worst. All that deciding is hard work. I need a Netflix break.

The frog I finally eat is always the soonest-due frog. Then it starts all over again. I waste all the time when I’m not eating frogs by stress-cleaning, binge-watching, eating, and definitely not doing anything productive. Then I am depressed because I was so busy not working on my project, I didn’t get anything useful done. May I propose another idea? Instead of doing the soonest due thing first, start with the homework you want to get done.

MAN ON THE STREET

we asked:

Instead of spending all day putting off the project that you hate by distracting yourself do a little of the nicer work. Fit in some of the activities you enjoy: walking, playing an instrument, reading, writing. Prioritize your tasks not necessarily by deadline, but by how you value them. Instead of working on projects in the order in which they are due, prioritize them by how much you value getting them done. For example: A quiz is due today. Instead of doing the quiz first, I do some of the multitude of Friday projects or start on the long course-culminating-experience paper. I know I will get the quiz done sooner or later today, therefore it is not my priority. During the day, I work on the multitude of projects I want to get done. By not doing the quiz immediately, I refuse to let my brain check out when today’s work is done. We all have different study habits, different priorities for each day. The key to productive procrastination is to use the time putting off the big frog to get a bunch of little frogs out of the way.

Leave political “Good v. Evil” mentality in 2018 Shannon Schneider Managing Editor

Last week, I was scrolling through my YouTube home page and saw a video by Cut, a channel that does a “Divide Us” series where people guess who belongs in what group based on appearances. Given the current political climate, I was intrigued when I found a video titled “Divide Us into Democrats & Republicans”. It was even more fitting that it was posted on Nov. 6, the day that midterm elections were held. I was barely 30 seconds into the video when one of the judges was told they would be dividing strangers into Democrats or Republicans. In response, the man said, “Uh huh, so good and evil?” Fast forward another minute, another judge cast a participant into the Democrat’s side. Her reasoning? “Because he sounds nice.” My first reaction was shock. Next was disappointment. I watched the video in its entirety, and the same theme kept popping up. Once people were divided and then sort-

ed into their correct groups, stereotypes came out. One man judging looked at a participant’s skin color and said with a smile, “I see your complexion going on. I’m going to say you’re a Democrat until proven otherwise.” When the man turned out to be a Republican, who described how he was viewed as a “race-traitor” to some because he didn’t ascribe his political beliefs to his race. At this point, I was disgusted. To me, the notion of “good” and “evil” politics is a long-standing issue, but I’ve been seeing more of it lately. We’ve been conditioned to believe that one side is “good” and ‘evil’, is whoever’s on the wrong side of the aisle is deemed untouchable. We cannot associate with the “other,”

let alone find the common ground to make necessary improvements. If we want to live in a bipartisan country and truly get things done, this kind of ideology won’t work. Deeming people good or bad based on their political beliefs is not only asinine, but also degrading to that person as, well, a person. Once you’ve written them off for their politics, you’ve made a decision to treat that person as lesser and ignore what could be fantastic qualities. This could have been the case for Supreme Court justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the late Antonin Scalia. However, it wasn’t. Though they were on opposite sides of the political spectrum, it turns out the two were great friends and would even vacation together with their families. When Scalia passed away, Ginsburg described him as her “best buddy.” Red or blue, we can all agree that this country is facing divisive times. Now more than ever we need to reach across the aisle with civility, respect and an open mind, but we need to cut the crap. Mutual understanding is attainable only if we put aside labels and focus on matters at hand.

What it means to be feminist Dinema Mate Contributor Feminism, if there ever has been a word that has produced both awe and terror in me it is that one! It has confused me, as an African woman born and bred in the continent I have never quite where to place myself. If I am a feminist does that mean that I hate men? Does that mean that I should not allow men to open doors for me? Or that I should stop wearing my frilly, ultra-feminine summer dresses and stop shaving my legs? What is being a feminist anyway? According to (my personal favorite whenever I am confused about anything from do aliens exist to how many steps should I take in a day to lose weight) Google, yes Google. Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes. This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men. That means if I am a feminist I believe that I am the intellectual, emotional and social equal of a man. Therefore if we are equal, then I should not expect doors to be opened for me

or for dates to be paid by my male partner. Being a feminist means that I have the power to make my choices, whether to be a powerful executive or a stay at home mom, or if I like my doors to be opened for me or not. Both choices are mine to make and neither of them, make me any less of a woman or feminist. Unfortunately, there is a notion out there that to be considered a feminist, you have to be a hard, no-nonsense, type of woman. I have seen many women, especially in the workplace, confuse aggression for assertiveness. We cannot talk about feminism without discussing its ugly stepsister, misandry. Misandry is described as the ingrained prejudice against men. Next time you are out with your girlfriends and someone makes statements like, “All men are dogs,” or, “men are stupid.” Those are classic examples of misandry and do not do the feminist cause any justice. Let’s just take a step back and remember our predecessors and what they were actually fighting for. Women in the 19th century, which was when the feminist ideology was born, were fighting life and death battles, like the right to vote, the right to own land, the right to decide whether or not they wanted children. Serious stuff. Why have we now turned this into a race to discuss whether the control of

women’s reproductive role by men is the rule of patriarchal oppression. Are you kidding me? Why are we wasting time on the obvious? You need a man to make babies, deal with it! The suffragettes and Simone du Beauvoir would turn in their graves. There are real and bigger issues to discuss, things that we can actual change. This was proved by the ‘’Me Too’’ movement in 2017 and the “R-Kelly” scandal in 2018. Women are still fighting real issues, objectification, sexual harassment, campus rape and including other issues that can be resolved if we start raising feminist men and women. Yes, men can be feminist too! A feminist man is simply an evolved being. He is a man who stands for equality regardless of gender, social status or sexual orientation. A feminist man is not a guy who is a savior of women that is just another form of misogyny. Being a feminist man does not mean that you are effeminate or gay. While we are raising these amazing men, let’s do the same for our daughters. Let’s raise strong, independent little girls who wear frilly dresses, lipstick and nail polish but are not waiting for prince charming to come save them at the end of the day. Who know that their carriage will not turn into a pumpkin because they have paid their monthly car payment in time!

On the

Bright Side Stop apologizing for being human Rachel Mitchell Contributor I like to think I am a pretty social person. I know a lot of people and carry on conversations when I have the time to see how they are. I also like to hang out with my friends. With that, I hear a lot about people and I have found a common thread in most conversations. Almost every person I talk to apologizes for something that doesn’t need an apology. Sometimes it’s “Sorry I don’t look great. It’s been a long day,” or “Sorry I didn’t go I wasn’t feeling well.” People even apologize for simply standing when I walk up to say hello. I’m also guilty of apologizing for stupid things like talking. I always apologize because I feel like I talk too much. Why do so many of us profusely apologize for simple things like, I don’t know, being human? One thing a lot of us can work on (I’m including myself in this) is not apologizing for being human. It’s hard to not apologize for things we feel need an apology. But do we really need to apologize for standing with our friends in a public space? Or apologize for not looking our best? Obviously we

don’t, but we feel the need to since we might be aggravating someone. But honestly who cares? If you wore sweats to class and are wearing them all day because you’re not feeling your best, that’s fine. Don’t apologize to people for doing what you need to do to get through the day. It’s easy to become a walking apology when you are aware that something in your life might not be 100 percent. Whether it be appearance or you might be insecure about things. We have to learn to accept ourselves and not be so apologetic for things that really don’t need an excuse. I have a hard time not apologizing for talking or telling a story.

Personally, I have to realize there is nothing wrong with talking. Maybe you are in a similar boat and always apologize for something, like how your hair looks or how busy you are. No one else has to live your life but you. So if you didn’t get around to brushing your hair this morning and it’s up in a messy bun, who cares? At least you had the motivation to get out of bed this morning. If you are constantly busy and have a lot on your plate and apologize for not getting in touch with someone, remember a phone works two ways. We have to learn to trust and love ourselves and not apologize so much. Being strong and confident in ourselves will help give us the courage to not apologize all the time. We don’t need to apologize for being human and living in the same space as other people. This week when you want to apologize for something small that does not need an apology take a step back. Remember what you might apologize for and try not to apologize. Even if you sit there with a stupid look on your face, or you just smile, that’s better than apologizing for those little things we have low self-esteem about.

High Plains

Students from 22 schools gathered on Tuesday night to perform for the 47th annual High Plains Band & Choir Festival at Memorial Hall. After spending Monday and Tuesday rehearsing, high schoolers from surrounding area displayed their two-days worth of work in a final performance before heading home. Under the direction of CSC’s band and choir directors, the groups performed an hour-long concert for an audience of about 250. The evening began with six pieces by the High Plains Honor Choir, which was comprised of 68 students. The opening song was “Cantante Domino” by Hans Leo Hassler, an upbeat Latin piece. Following the quick notes of “Cantante” was “If Music Be the Food of Love” by David C. Dickau, a romantic piece with a slower tempo.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s “Honor and Glory” was the third performance, which Honor Choir director Joel Schreuder, professor of music, described as a “mock feud” between tenors, bass, sopranos and altos. “Fresh and Fearless” by Daniel Elder marked the fourth song. Schreuder explained this song was a “challenge” for the choir due to its swift rhythmic changes. “This was a real challenge for us, with the harmony and rhythm. You’ll hear that it’s in 10/8 time, which is divided 3-3-2-2. It’s kind of like a special dance,” Schreuder said. James Mulholland’s “A Red, Red Rose”, from Four Robert Burns Ballads was the second to last song performed. The final piece, “Praise His Holy Name!” by Keith Hampton, ended the choral performance on a light gospel note. Following an intermission where a student guitar ensemble, directed by Mckay Tebbs, assistant professor of music, and a keyboard ensemble, directed by Brooks Hafey, assistant professor of music, performed, the 77-member Honor

Band took the stage. The band was led by John Wojcik, the newly-appointed Director of Bands and Instructor of Brass at CSC. The first piece performed was “Incandescence,” a high-energy opener by Richard Saucedo. Second was “Sea Songs” by Ralph Vaughn Williams and arranged by Robert Longfield, the fourth movement of Vaughan Williams’ English Folk Song Suite. “Wayfaring Stranger,” arranged by Bill Locklear, provided a slower tempo than the previous songs. “Four Dance Episodes,” a mixture of lively tempos and emotional ballads by Gary Gilroy, closed out the night. Recognition awards were given to students in both band and choir who had participated for three or four years. CSC will hear its third music performance this week on Saturday as guest artists from University of Wyoming join Hafey for a chamber music concert, 7 p.m. Saturday, in the Mari Sandoz Center Chicoine Atrium.

Guest trio performs concert CSC’s first music concert of the semester features jazz group, The Bill Molenhof Trio Donica Enevoldsen Lifestyles Editor CSC students, faculty, High Plains participants and community members came to Memorial Hall’s Auditorium Monday night to hear the music department’s first concert of the semester, The Bill Molenhof Trio. Bill Molenhof, a talented percussionist, has had a long career in music, holding faculty positions at multiple prestigious music schools such as Berklee, Temple and Manhattan. According to his biography, his music has been heard worldwide and he has composed, taught and performed in over 30 countries and has published and recorded over 200 original compositions. The ensemble consisted of Molenhof ’s wife, Gabriela Guala, a third-generation professional musician from Argentina, on piano and vocal, and Joy Harris, a Texas Tech University graduate on bass and background vocals. During the hour-long concert, Molenhof expressed to the audience of about 80 how happy he was to be in Chadron and remarked on how special his time at CSC had been. “I’ll remember this, I guarantee it,” said Molenhof about performing at CSC.

Molenhof ’s trio performed 10 impressive jazz arrangements which included music from different musical periods such as Baroque and Impressionist. Two of the works featured Guala performing excerpts from Bach’s C minor Prelude and Debussy’s “Arabesque” No. 1. “It was a cool experience to hear a different kind of music than we usually get here,” said concert-goer Leslie Hopton, 22, senior of Chadron. “They were really entertaining to watch perform.” Although the trio performed as if they had been together for years, their group has only been together for a little over two weeks. Guala explained that while she and her husband play together frequently, Harris joined them after one rehearsal and they began their tour on Jan. 20. “She (Harris) was the new star of the show,” said Guala, “we met, and we rehearsed once, and we got right together and made this trio.” The Bill Molenhof Trio highlighted each of its performer’s talents with impressive drum, bass, piano and voice solos. The music department’s next concert will feature guest artists James Przygocki and Blake McGee from the University of Wyoming as they join Brookes Hafey in a chamber music concert, 7 p.m., Saturday.

Pool tourney brings students and community together Chase Vialpando Reporter Balls were smacked and pockets were stuffed Thursday night as The Pit held and sponsored a one-on-one pool tournament. Registration began at 7:30 p.m., and competitors began shooting for glory by 8 p.m. The tournament bracket was designed as a double elimination system, allowing each of the 37 registered student competitors to play in multiple games. The Pit supplied chicken wings and dipping sauces, as well as ice water. CSC student and Pit worker Tobe Mbanugo, 23, of Abuja, Nigeria led the event. “Every semester, we have a double or single pool tournament.” He explained that pool is one of The Pit’s major events because it attracts so many players and spectators. The competition brought

about 60 students and community members. “It’s been really great,” Pit worker Konery Klueber, 20, of Rapid City, South Dakota, said of the turnout, “Its nice to see some new faces out here. You know, we always have the regulars down here during the week, but to see some more people come out and play and compete is always awesome.” The third place prize, a $50 gift card, was won by Klueber. The second place prize was a $100 dollar gift card, earned by James Larson, 19, of Hill City, South Dakota. The first prize was a 32 inch Sanyo Roku smart HDTV. Senior Kyle McClaren, 23, of New Underwood, South Dakota, won the tournament. McClaren has competed in every pool tournament the Pit has held during his five-year collegiate career. This was McClaren’s first singles tournament victory, but he has had success in the past. “I’ve won three doubles. I won a speaker every time. This is my first TV.” McClaren said Photo by Chase Vialpando Konery Klueber, 20, junior of Rapid City,lines up a shot while competing in last Thursday’s singles pool tournament with a triumphant grin. in The Pit.

Chadron State hurdler Justin Leman, junior of Douglas, Wyoming, clears his hurdle in the 60-meter hurdles, Saturday, at the University of Colorado Meet, in Boulder, Colorado.

Grimes, Lanier lead Eagle tracksters Brandon Davenport Sports Editor Isaac Grimes, sophomore of Moreno Valley, California, and Javan Lanier, junior of Aurora, Colorado, the Eagles’ sprinting and jumping dynamic duo, led CSC this weekend at the University of Colorado Indoor Meet, in Boulder, Colorado, taking first and third in both the 60-meter dash and the long jump. “Last year (Grimes) didn’t get to sprint as much as I wanted him to because he had a hamstring deal indoors,” CSC Head Coach Riley Northrup said of Grimes, who won the 60-meter dash, Saturday, with a time of 6.76 seconds, “and it was more of a better safe than sorry deal, knowing how good he is in the long jump. “Sprinting puts him at a little more risk. But he’s healthy and he’s strong now, so he’s getting the opportunity to consistently run every week. I’ve been trying to tell him for a long time how fast he his and I think he’s finally starting to realize it.”

Grimes also took first place in the long jump with a leap of 24 feet, 2.5 inches, a jump that won him first place, but was shorter than others he’s had this season. “For (Grimes) to go out after jumping 7.95 (meters) and then jump 7.35 (meters), it was just an off meet,” Northrup said. “It’s going to happen sooner or later where you’re not going to have that huge jump every single week. I’m glad it happened now and not in the coming weeks when it really counts.” CSC’s Lanier took third in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.87 seconds, just .07 seconds slower Northern Colorado freshman Greg Laday, of Port Arthur, Texas, who was second. “Javan ran in the 6.90s both of his first meets,” Northrup said, “and he’s running high 6.80s the first couple meets he’s been out this year so I’d expect him to get down into the low 6.80s maybe this week, maybe next, maybe at conference.” Lanier’s 22 feet, 7.5 inch long jump was good for third place in the event. Also placing at the meet was junior thrower

Ashton Hallsted, of Casper, Wyoming, who took second against tough competition, throwing 61 feet, 6.25 inches. “Her numbers in the weight room have gone up significantly from last year, and in the (weight throw) being a strong person is a pretty good indicator of how well you’re going to be able to move the ball,” Northrup said of Hallsted. Though her throw was short of previous throws this season, Northrup is still confident in her technique, “She was just trying to force things too much instead of letting it come, so she was a little bit down. Obviously she’s still throwing at a high level every week.” CSC junior Justin Leman, of Douglas, Wyoming, also had a good meet, placing fourth in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.22 seconds. Leman set a personal record in the preliminaries with a time of 8.17 seconds. Northrup said overall the meet was similar to last year, with somewhat uninspired first-day performances followed by good second day. Saturday, the Eagles head to Brookings, South

Black Hills State University’s Fraser Malcolm, senior of Falkirk, Scotland, goes up for a basket amid Chadron State defenders. Malcolm was one of three Yellow Jacket players to hit double figures in scoring, Friday. Black Hills defeated the Eagles 82-62.

The Eagles men’s basketball team lost both games in South Dakota this weekend, first against Black Hills State University, 82-62, Friday, and South Dakota School of Mines, 80-59, Saturday. CSC fell behind early against the Yellow Jackets, Friday, trailing 13-4 at about the 15-minute mark of the first half. The Eagle’s would eventually close the gap to 36-32 just as the second half started, but couldn’t slow the Black Hills offense which restored a double-digit Yellow Jacket lead just minutes later. “We really pride ourselves defensively this year and we just didn’t come up with the stops that we needed to come up with this weekend,” Head Coach Houston Reed said. “We are the type of team that our defense really helps create our offense.” Against Black Hills, the Eagles shot just 34.9 percent from the field and just 18.8 percent from behind the arc. Both figures are season lows for CSC. The Yellow Jackets’ Dez Stoudamire, senior of Portland, Oregon led Black Hills in scoring with a season-high 26 points. The Eagles were led by Diontae Champion, senior of Pearl, Mississippi, with 17 points. Brady Delimont, sophomore of Ainsworth, went down with a leg injury and did not return against the Hardrockers Saturday. The exact nature of his injury is unknown at the moment. Against South Dakota School of Mines Saturday, the Eagles trailed by seven points at halftime, but the Hardrockers outscored Chadron 43-29 in the second half. CSC shot 1-6 from the arc in the second half, failing to keep up with the Hardrockers’ offense which shot 62.5 percent from the field and 2-3 from the arc. 6-foot-9 freshman Mitchell Sueker, of Marshall, Minnesota, led the Hardrockers in scor-

Junior center Adoum Mbang, of Chadron, saw limited action this weekend due to an ankle injury he suffered Jan. 16 against Colorado Mines. The Eagles were without starter Jaisean Jackson, senior of Denver, due to a violation of team policy. “He should be back in the lineup this weekend and we are looking forward to that,” Head Coach Reed said. The two losses drop the Eagles’ record below .500 to 10-11 while its conference record sits at 8-7. CSC currently sits No. 8 in the RMAC standings. Friday night the Eagles travel to Golden, Colorado, to take on the RMAC’s top team, Colorado School of Mines, and Saturday, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, who currently sit seventh in the standings.

SD teams slow Eagle women’s offense Nicole Lartey Reporter After winning their final home game last weekend, CSC women’s basketball fell to Black Hills State University 7256, Friday, and South Dakota School of Mines 45-60, Saturday. The Eagles drop to 4-17 overall and 3-12 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Friday, The Eagles led 11-9 with 30 seconds remaining in the first quarter, but had a series of turnovers which allowed the Yellow Jackets to maintain their lead. “Rough weekend. We haven’t impressed on the road this season, and it is well known in the RMAC,” Head Coach Janet Raymer said. The Eagles had better accuracy than the Yellow Jackets, shooting 40 percent to Black Hills’ 36. But the Yellow Jackets capitalized on CSC’s mistakes, scoring 23 points on turnovers. They added 24 points on 32 tries from the free throw line and hit eight 3-pointers. BHSU senior Julia Seamans, of Gillette, Wyoming, led all

scorers with 14 points, scoring the maj o r i t y with four 3-pointers. Teammate Katie Messler, a sophomore from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, led all players with nine rebounds, though CSC got the better of the Yellow Jackets out-rebounding them 11-9 in the offensive zone and 30-23 in the defensive zone. The Eagles’ McKenna McClintic, junior of Burwell, led CSC with eight rebounds. CSC’s Jessica Harvey, sophomore of Morrill, scored a team-leading 11 points. McClintic was close behind with eight. Saturday, the Eagles’ struggles continued against South

Dakota School of Mines. Taylor Molstad, senior of Rapid City, South Dakota, and Sami Steffeck, junior of Fort Collins, Colorado, scored 15 and 14 points respectively leading the Hardrockers against CSC. With 6:20 remaining in the second quarter, CSC’s Harvey hit a 3-pointer to give the Eagles’ an 18-15 lead, but it was the last time Chadron led as the Hardrockers scored the next seven points, going ahead 22-18. CSC shot just 22.2 percent to the Hardrockers 40.9. Harvey was CSC’s highest scorer with 11 points. Jori Peters, freshman of Mitchell, scored nine. The Eagles face Colorado School of Mines and University of Colorado-Colorado Spring Friday and Saturday respectively.
