Ohio State heads west to Indiana to open Big Ten play RYAN COOPER Sports Editor cooper.487@osu.edu Despite a somewhat bumpy journey, Ohio State emerged from its four-game nonconference schedule with its No. 1 ranking in tow. Now as the team shifts gears to its more familiar foes of the Big Ten, senior linebacker Joshua Perry said he and other veterans on the team are trying to turn the intensity up a notch. “We take everything that we do around here seriously, but we’re getting in guys’ heads that this is Big Ten season, this is where we have to start to achieve all of our goals for the year,” Perry said. “We have to go through the Big Ten, we have to play really well. We know that we’re going to face some really good matchups.” The first of eight games on OSU’s Big Ten regular-season docket is a trip to Bloomington, Indiana, to take on an Indiana Hoosiers team that comes into the game with a matching 4-0 record. The Hoosiers are led by senior quarterback Nate Sudfeld, who ranks 16th in the country with 1,143 passing yards through four games, including seven touchdowns and just one interception. “He’s a really good player. He makes those guys go,” Perry said. “He’s a great leader.” The Hoosier offense is also bolstered by junior running back Jordan Howard. The UAB transfer has rushed for at least 145 yards in each

game this season, making him the top rusher in the nation by 34 yards. “It’s always good to have a challenge,” sophomore linebacker Raekwon McMillan said. “We never want to go into a game where we just know we’re going to dominate somebody physically, because when you just know you’re going to dominate someone you get lackadaisical in practice, don’t really prepare like you should.” It has been 27 years since the Hoosiers last topped the Buckeyes — a 41-7 romp in Bloomington in 1988. Still, Perry said the Buckeyes have a lot of respect for Indiana, which always makes them work for the victory. “They’re solid. They come out with something, they give it their all every time they play us … I know that their defense does some things too that can give offense some trouble. They just come out ready to go,” Perry said. Kickoff between the Buckeyes and Hoosiers is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. at Memorial Stadium. Last year’s meeting The 2014 edition of the OSU vs. Indiana game turned out to be a much more dicey affair than many were expecting. Coming off big victories on the road over a pair of ranked teams in Michigan State and Minnesota, the Buckeyes seemed to have hit their stride approaching postseason play. However, the game against a Hoosier team 0-6 in conference play at the time turned into a

In November, Halie Vilagi will become the first undergraduate student in Ohio State history to be allowed a vote at the board level on the university’s Board of Trustees. Vilagi, a third-year in public affairs and political science, was appointed to the board by Gov. John Kasich after a lengthy, three-round interview process in the summer of 2015 and will serve until she graduates in 2017. “I was at my internship when the governor’s office called with the news,” Vilagi said. “I was overwhelmed with both joy and responsibility — I had worked for nearly a year to accomplish this goal.” The trustees serve as the chief strategic and fiduciary body of the university. While many students in the past have served on the board, Vilagi is the first undergraduate to have the same voting rights as the other trustees, Vilagi said. TRUSTEES CONTINUES ON 3

Student-Athlete Development Center set to open in 2018 WILLIAM KOSILESKI Lantern reporter kosileski.2@osu.edu A new athletic training center will be built to replace the existing Biggs Facility at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center on North Campus. The construction is projected to take place from December 2016 to July 2018, with a total project budget of $32 million, which will be paid with development funds, according to August Finance Committee meeting notes. Approved by Ohio State’s Board of Trustees on Aug. 28, the new Student-Athlete Development Center will have new facilities for student-athletes from many of OSU’s sports teams and will provide student-athletes with a new place to train, eat, socialize and learn. “Right now, the (athletes) work out in a variety of different facilities.

Maria’s Miles aims to keep drivers safe in the long run JILLIAN MCVICKER For The Lantern mcvicker.34@osu.edu The Maria Tiberi Foundation is continuing its annual effort to raise money and awareness about driving safety with a second-annual event at the Columbus Italian Festival. Maria’s Miles Three-Mile Run/ Walk, benefitting the Maria Tiberi Foundation to combat distracted driving, will be held Oct. 11 at 10 a.m. The run will begin and end on the corner of North Fourth Street and East Lincoln Street. Maria Tiberi, the daughter of WBNS-10TV sports anchor Dom Tiberi, was an Ohio State student before she died in a 2013 car accident attributed to distracted driving.

Dom and his wife, Terri, started the foundation to fundraise for driving simulators. Each costs about $14,000, Dom Tiberi said, and they have bought 23 simulators so far, one of them being donated to OSU. “My favorite part is partnering with the festival with all the great food and fun times,” Dom said. “I love seeing the participants remember and celebrate my daughter’s life, as well as all those that have lost their lives on our highways.” Dom said that since his daughter’s death, he has dedicated his life to spreading the message to families about the dangers of distracted driving, hoping to save young people’s lives. “We need to fight this epidemic called distracted driving, as it is

taking our youngest and brightest,” Dom said. “It is the No. 1 killer of the age group 9–24, and we must come together to end this.” Kelsey Tiberi, a 2015 graduate in English language and literature, said the race allows for her to see how much of an impact her younger sister’s life had on others. “My family gets an overwhelming amount of love and support from so many people in the community,” Kelsey said. “We want everyone to live long and happy lives, so with our efforts we hope to help others to see how deadly the consequences of distracted driving are.” CREDIT: COURTESY OF M3S SPORTS Brynn Schlemitz, a second-year The Tiberi family at the finish line during the 2014 Maria’s in business, said that she is particMiles event.

Vilagi said she wants to keep transparency alive between the trustees and students. To accomplish this, every Tuesday and Thursday from 9:40 a.m. to 2 p.m. she will be available to discuss matters and obtain student feedback in Room 3070 of the Ohio Union. “It is the greatest gift of my life,” she said. “I have the honor of representing students who have hundreds of passions and hail from all around the world. Every Buckeye is unique.” Vilagi’s experience includes her time as an Undergraduate Student Government senator and serving on the John Glenn College of Public Affairs’ Budget and Strategic Planning Committee. “She has been instrumentally involved in providing a student perspective on some of the major strategic choices facing the college,” said Trevor Brown, dean of the Glenn College. “She is incredibly service oriented, she reflects the university’s commitment of education for citizenship, she is a leader and an exceptional communicator.” Vilagi also is involved in Politics, Society and Law Scholars, the John Glenn Civic Leadership Council and YoungLife.

INSIDE-OUT FROM 1

pus, has taught the class inside the correctional institution in Lancaster, Ohio, about a 45-minute drive from the OSU’s Columbus campus. The course is part of a national initiative called the Inside-Out Prison Exchange Program. The goal is to transform how people think about crime and justice by promoting dialogue between students in and outside the prison, according to the program’s website. Classes are composed of 10 to 15 “outside” OSU students and an equal number of prisoners, or “inside” students, who sit alternating in a circle, to discuss topics ranging from the history of prison to the cause and consequences of mass incarceration. Caitlin Schwartz, a third-year in psychology, took the Inside-Out class in Autumn 2014. She said the first class in prison was terrifying for her and her OSU “outside” classmates, as most of them had never set foot in a prison. “When we first walked in, the prisoners were all sitting there and looked up at once,” Schwartz said. “You could feel the tension.” Schwartz said the biggest surprise for her in the very first class was how nervous the prisoners were before the class started and how quickly they moved from being intimidated to comfortable and welcoming, after conversations about their favorite movies and food. “(When) you think of criminals, you think they are not going to care,” Schwartz said.

thelantern THE STUDENT VOICE OF THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY The Lantern is a student publication which is part of the School of Communication at The Ohio State University. It publishes issues Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and online editions every day. The Lantern’s daily operations are funded through advertising and its academic pursuits are supported by the School of Communication. Advertising in the paper is sold largely by student account executives. Students also service the classified department and handle front office duties. The School of Communication is committed to the highest professional standards for the newspaper in order to guarantee the fullest educational benefits from The Lantern experience.

“But, in fact, they were equally as nervous as we were. They were just very normal.” Lorenzo Vasquez, who was incarcerated for 22 years and three months on murder charges, is a former “inside” student who took the class in 2013. He said he was shocked when he learned the high odds of being imprisoned that is faced by people of color in the United States. “These numbers show how badly we need to change,” Vasquez said. Schwartz said that class discussion about why people commit crimes took a turn toward taking the responsibility away from offenders by blaming extrinsic factors such as stress or lack of education in low-income areas. But Schwartz said some inside students disagreed and said they knew what they were doing. She said conversations helped outside students not only gain a critical perspective of the criminal justice system and related social issues, but also helped them to understand their inside peers in a way they didn’t before. One time, Schwartz was offended by an inside student because he was talking about women being violent toward men in a “very derogatory” way during their group conversation. “As much as I wanted to be offended by his statement, it made me think about how if this cognitive perception on women is something that he holds prior to being incar-

cerated, and how does being in an all-male prison for a long amount of time perpetuate that issue,” Schwartz said. Riane Paige, a fifth-year in criminology who took the class in 2013, said she was less judgmental of prisoners after taking that class. “I started to realize that everyone had a past and everyone’s past is different,” she said. “They are people just like us.” After serving more than two decades behind bars, Vasquez was released in May and got a job in Cincinnati as a welder. He said he will continue his education and pursue a college degree in criminal justice. “I want to help teenagers to make sure they don’t end up in a situation (like) I was in,” Vasquez said. Schwartz said it is a dream of hers to be able to make a difference in the prison system. “My goal is to help prisoners on a personal level because I truly struggle with the idea that there is anything I can do to help the big-picture problem,” Schwartz wrote in her class journal. Bryant said she sees the Inside-Out program as a way to create potential change in the criminal-justice system. “It kind of reignites my own journey for social change activism … I’m very, very proud of everything people are accomplishing beyond Inside-Out,” Bryant said.

Word getting out on the Worst Kept Secret Fest HANNAH HERNER Lantern reporter herner.12@osu.edu The word is getting out on the Worst Kept Secret Fest. This is the second time that the event will be held at Skate Naked, an indoor skate park located at 3790 E. 5th Ave., after having outgrown Dude Locker. The festival organizers were concerned that the location was too remote, but were pleasantly surprised when attendance grew even after the move. “Attendance is always surprising. We always have our doubts. When you do something like this, it’s kind of a big risk and you don’t know if it’s going to pay off,” founder Geoff Spall said. It was estimated that the first festival had around 100-200 in attendance, with it steadily growing up to 500-600 in attendance at the seventh Worst Kept Secret, he said.

What’s up this weekend

This Friday and Saturday will mark the eighth Worst Kept Secret Fest. Spall started the free festival in October 2012. It usually happens twice a year — once in the fall and once in the spring. “When I started a band in Columbus, I was always looking for something like this — like where it is dark and loud and everyone is having a great time like it’s 1991 again,” Spall said of the reason he started the festival. Spall is the lead singer of Columbus band Friendly Faux. He said he believes that Worst Kept Secret Fest’s inclusion of all types of people is what sets it apart from other festivals. “To me it’s one of the most inclusive-type festivals where people can come and practice their craft. Not everybody is in a band, or is a painter, or a drunk, but people can have fun appreciating all three. That’s the ethic behind this and I think that’s what would make us

Joshua Ziegfeld got involved with the Worst Kept Secret Fest after he attended the first one, and is now one of the directors of the event. He has seen the event grow and change over the years. “It was pretty much just heavy garage rock for the first one or two and then it started branching out pretty quickly after that. We have a good mix of everything,” Ziegfeld said. They make a point to include new and more experienced local acts on the roster, and even have more popular bands “sit one out” to maintain that balance. Not even Friendly Faux has played every one of the festivals. “We always like every time to pick some bands out of the scene

that people haven’t heard of because we want our audience to come in and see something new that they haven’t seen before and walk away thinking ‘that’s my new favorite band,’” Ziegfeld said. Columbus band and previous Columbus’ Own feature, Betsy Ross, will be playing at the festival for the second time. Lead singer Charity Crowe enjoyed the last Worst Kept Secret Fest. “You’re playing music and there’s people still skateboarding and doing their thing and it’s really cool, a really nice environment,” she said.

Comic artists and fans to congregate this weekend SADE TAVAREZ Lantern reporter tavarez.4@osu.edu Comics come alive — from campus to downtown — this weekend with the first-annual Cartoon Crossroads Columbus festival. The event was started by Jeff Smith, creator of the popular comic book series Bone. Smith used to create comic strips for The Lantern. When he attended Ohio State in 1982, Smith said there was a cartoon library on the first floor of the Journalism Building. The library has since grown into the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. Lucy Shelton Caswell was the curator for the library at the time. “She kind of became my mentor,” Smith said. “Fast forward to about three years ago, Caswell was retiring and her and the new cuSECRET FROM 4

Hoffman said she hopes that people will enjoy the ambience of the event. “It’s a pretty dark area but we keep the gallery pretty lit so it’s an intimate experience and with all of the local music playing in the background. It’s very unique and special,” she said. “We want it to

They were cartooning festivals and it was not meant to be like a giant Comic-Con, but it was a very well-loved and respected event in the cartoon community.” One of the last events curated by Caswell was the Festival of Cartoon Art that took place in 2007 and was sponsored by the museum. “The idea was simple in concept. If I could just talk to each one of the art institutions in the city and see if I could get them to the same cartooning event on the same weekend, we could turn Columbus into like a citywide event,” Smith said. Due to the fact this is Columbus’s first annual citywide cartoon festival, people might not know what to expect from the event.

about it, though, because we have a really great guest list lined up. Some of the best cartoonists in the world are here this weekend,” Smith said. The cartoonists include Art Spiegelman, Jeff Smith, Kate Beaton, Craig Thompson, Jaime Hernandez, Bill Griffith, Jeff Lemire and Francoise Mouly. The OSU institutions taking part are set to welcome back Smith and fellow artists. The Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum will be hosting talks and offering exhibits to visitors, where artists will discuss specific aspects of their work. “One cartoonist is going to talk about dealing with racial stereotypes. Another will talk about writer’s block or how to manage your collection. So, we’re hosting all that and of course we have exhibits going on, so people will get to see those,” said Caitlin McGurk, associate curator for the cartoon museum. The Cartoon Crossroads Columbus festival will take place Thursday through Saturday. Events will be free of charge, with the exception of some special presentations. Tickets can be bought at the Wexner Center for the Arts.

REVIEW

‘The Walk’ is thrilling, no explanation necessary WYATT CROSHER For The Lantern crosher.1@osu.edu “The Walk,” written and directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has been on my list for a while as one of the most anticipated films of the year. The movie is based on the novel “To Reach the Clouds,” by Philippe Petit, which is about the true story of Petit’s walk on a tightrope between the Twin Towers in 1974. The premise looked interesting, and it is in the hands of one of the greatest directors of all time and stars Gordon-Levitt, so this movie checked all the right boxes coming in.

The Walk (PG) 2015 Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ben Kingsley Dir. by Robert Zemeckis

To start things off, this movie is absolutely worth the price of an IMAX 3D ticket. Even more so than “Everest,” the visuals when it comes time for the actual walk to occur are some of the greatest I have ever seen. This is not a

movie for anyone deathly afraid of heights, because it truly feels as if you are dangling on a little wire over 1,300 feet in the air. Gordon-Levitt pulls off the French accent and has a great performance as Petit, as he gave the film some much-needed comedy and heart. What worried me coming in was how they were going to make a full feature film about a single walk across the Twin Towers. That ended up not being an issue at all, with Zemeckis doing a terrific job at creating an interesting and sometimes hilarious opening to what was to come. The conclusion to this movie is everything and anything that I could have hoped for — with the visuals being beautiful, and the entire event being incredibly tense and suspenseful. When seeing a man walk on a wire from over 1,300 feet up like that, you just cannot help but feel very uneasy about it. And that worked in favor of the movie. There were some choices, however, that I felt were unnecessary — specifically the narration. Right off the bat, we see Gordon-Levitt as Petit is going to be our narrator and guide us throughout this entire journey. For me, it felt completely unnecessary. Every time he speaks, he says something that is either blatantly obvious or something that should have been

Charlotte Le Bon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in “The Walk.” implied rather than said out loud. The narration made sure that every audience member would know exactly what’s going on instead of trusting that the audience is smart enough to figure it out for themselves. For me, some of the emotion also did not work for me. I heard some people saying they were fighting

tears at the conclusion. But I didn’t feel anything close to tears. I was still in awe with what I had just witnessed. Overall, “The Walk” is an incredible story that was handled excellently by Zemeckis. Gordon-Levitt is excellent in the lead, the visuals are mind-blowingly breathtaking, and the end had my heart racing

and paid off in every way I wanted it to. The narration was a bad move in my opinion, and there were some moments that had me questioning how true this movie is being. But it didn’t matter in the end because “The Walk” had everything I wanted. 8/10

SERENA’S STYLE

Upgrading your wardrobe from everyday to runway SERENA XU For The Lantern serenashoes23@gmail.com Hey all you fabulous Buckeyes, Serena is back to give you tips on how to upgrade and diversify your wardrobe. Yes, picking out everyday outfits is fun, but why not make it different or even glamourous or over the top. As undisputed style queens and kings, you have to glamorize once in a while. I had the pleasure with talking with Rebecca Goffe, a fifth-year in environment, economy, development and sustainability. “When making your wardrobe different, wear stuff that is unique and clothes that friends have made for you, even wear accessories that artists have made for you,” Goffe said. Goffe said she purposely avoids the mall, preferring to nab her style from local thrift stores. “Go to the thrift store, because they really have nice clothes, also go to Volunteers of America because their shirts are really cheap and in style,” Goffe said.

She left me with great advice on how and why to diverse your wardrobe. “Keep an open mind and wear a crazy outfit because you will get a lot of compliments,” Goffe said. I also had the pleasure of speaking to Laura Shapiro, a fourth-year in Chinese, who told me to go big with designer labels when upgrading your style. When asked about what specific things she does, Shapiro said she wears bold accessories, such as hats, statement necklaces or rings. She said her favorite day is when she gets up early enough to actually pick out her outfit, do her nails and make herself look cute. Shapiro’s favorite store to hit up for a wardrobe upgrade is Francesca’s. But she really likes Pitaya because their clothes “fearlessly” make statements. Pitaya also makes formal clothes more casual so they can be worn for multiple occasions. “I like Urban Outfitters because it is good quality and a decent price,” Shapiro said. But you can splurge once in a while by going to Coach and Kate Spade, really making your

outfit glamorous by wearing name brands. Shapiro had a great take on giving advice for upgrading an outfit from everyday to runway. “It’s hard for college kids — yes that includes getting up early — but make sure you feel good in what you are wearing,” she said. All it takes though, fashionistas, is the little things. An extra five minutes on your hair, a fresh coat of nail polish and yes, maybe a splurge on a little something designer. But your glamorous, trueto-you self is worth it. SERENA XU FOR THE LANTERN

Battle of the undefeateds Indiana’s record of 4-0 marks the latest in the season it has been undefeated since 1990, when — like this year — it hosted OSU in Week 5. The Hoosiers did not win that game over the 2-2 Buckeyes, but they remained undefeated — with a 27-27 tie. Indiana ended up losing five of its final seven games to finish the 1990 season 6-5-1. No ors about it During each of the first four weeks of the season, the OSU

depth chart released the Tuesday before each game featured an “or” in the starting quarterback spot. Meyer had not committed publicly to starting either redshirt junior Cardale Jones or redshirt sophomore J.T. Barrett in each of the first three games, though Jones started each one. The coach changed that on Sept. 23 by officially announcing Jones would start against Western Michigan several days prior to the game, though the depth chart had already been released the day before with an “or.” Now for the Week 5 tilt, Jones is cemented as the signal caller for his eighth consecutive start for the Scarlet and Gray. On the depth chart, only one “or” appears for a starting role: the placekicker spot between redshirt senior Jack Willoughby and sophomore Sean Nuernberger. The two have been in competition each week of the season, though Willoughby has earned the duties for every kick so far. Up next After their trip to Bloomington, the Buckeyes are scheduled to return home to take on Maryland on Oct. 10. Kickoff is set for noon at Ohio Stadium.

in the coaches’ poll, but they have been receiving votes consistently. “They’re playing with a chip on their shoulder like we are,” Carlston said. “And they’ve had a couple big wins, so they believe. It’s a great combination for a program that’s making a mark nationally

now.” On Saturday, OSU will finally turn its attention to the Cornhuskers, whose only loss this season was to No. 3 Texas on Sept. 4. “Nebraska’s a team that we know they have some of the best players in the country, and it’s going to be an absolute battle,” Mitchell said. The Cornhuskers had a pair of outside hitters named to the preseason all-Big Ten squad in senior Kelsey Fien and junior Kadie Rolfzen. They also boast one of the best passers in the conference in sophomore setter Kelly Hunter,

who averages 11.45 assists per set, the second-best rate in the Big Ten. Senior middle blocker Tyler Richardson said she’s excited about playing a top-five team on OSU’s home floor. “With us beating Wisconsin this past weekend, we just keep pushing for more,” she said. “We’re ready for more.” Big blocks OSU currently ranks fifth in the Big Ten and 42nd nationally with 2.53 blocks per set. In the Buckeyes’ win over Wisconsin on Sunday, they registered a season-high 15 blocks, which helped to slow down a potent Badgers offense. “Having a physical presence on the net does make the hitters worry about not only where your diggers are, but also the block — not just as an area to hit around but an area that we’re going to stop you from even getting a chance to score,” Mitchell said. Despite its success in the blocking game, both Mitchell and Carlston said they feel that OSU can improve. “Wisconsin’s a very strong offensive program, and so to get that many blocks against an offensive unit like that says a lot about our growth,” Carlston said. “(But) our left-side blocking needs to get bet-

ter … and we’ve spent a lot of time focusing on that this week.” Previous matchups Last season, OSU only played Nebraska once and was able to pull off an upset in Lincoln, Nebraska, in five sets. The Buckeyes played Iowa twice, sweeping the Hawkeyes both times. Richardson said last year’s success against the two teams helps OSU’s confidence, but her team still needs to prepare as it normally would. “Knowing that we’ve done it in the past means we can definitely do it in the future, but I think we’re preparing for them like how we’re taking any other team in the Big Ten,” she said. OSU has traditionally dominated Iowa, owning a 59-9 all-time record against the Hawkeyes. But things haven’t been so easy against Nebraska, as the Buckeyes are just 5-10 all-time. What’s next? The Buckeyes are set to head to Illinois for a pair of away games next weekend, facing off against Northwestern on Oct. 9 and No. 7 Illinois on Oct. 10.

Battle on the ice MILES MCQUINN Lantern reporter mcquinn.7@osu.edu Imagine, as a student, that you have to take a test every Friday. You begin preparation each Monday, getting yourself as ready as you can be for the challenge soon to come — but there’s a catch. Your professor tells you that your Friday tests will only be given if he says so. He might give you the test, he might not. You just have to be ready. This has been the case for Ohio State junior goaltenders Christian Frey and Matt Tomkins for the better part of the past two seasons. Frey’s journey at OSU began midway through the 2013-14 season after Collin Olson left the program and Tomkins was injured. The emergency call-up proved successful, as Frey would end up backstopping the Buckeyes to the championship of the inaugural Big Ten Tournament. Heading into the 2015-16 campaign, Frey carries a record of 18-16-5 accompanied with a 2.72 goals against average and a .917 save percentage.

Frey, Tompkins to contend for OSU men’s hockey goalie spot once again Tomkins has had his own shining moments throughout the course of his OSU career. Through 31 games played, the 2012 Chicago Blackhawks draftee has a record of 11-14-3 complemented by a 3.01 goals against average, a .897 save percentage and two shutouts. Since Frey’s arrival on campus, the man between the pipes in Game 1 of the typical Friday-Saturday matchups for the Scarlet and Gray is decided on Thursday after a full week of practice is completed. It’s not an uncommon situation for a collegiate team to utilize two goalies throughout the season. Fortunately for Frey and Tomkins, they’re in a comfortable routine, as this has been the status quo for a while now. “It’s the way things are,” Tomkins said. “It kind of gives you an

opportunity when you don’t know throughout the week to prove yourself. It feels like you have an opportunity to maybe change the coaches’ minds a little bit.” OSU assistant coach Joe Exter is entering his fifth season with the Buckeyes. He coached former OSU goaltender Brady Hjelle to first-team All-American accolades in 2012-13, the first Buckeye to be named to the first team since 1998. A former netminder for Merrimack College and the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL, Exter knows the mindsets of his goalies better than anyone. He said he expects them to be ready to go, playing or not, and he understands their situation from a mental aspect. “We anticipate having a good goaltender once we step on the ice each game,” Exter said. “They’re human. They know that there’s

Coming off its first conference win against then-No. 16 Wisconsin, the Ohio State women’s volleyball team is scheduled to host two more Big Ten foes in St. John Arena this weekend. No. 13 OSU (12-2, 1-1) will play Iowa (10-5, 0-2) at 7 p.m. on Friday before playing its only game of the season against No. 4 Nebraska (11-1, 2-0) at the same time the following day. While a key match with a topfive team looms, OSU is trying to stay focused on Iowa for now. “I won’t even watch Nebraska until Friday night,” coach Geoff Carlston said. “We don’t talk about Nebraska. It’s pretty much a swear word in our gym right now.” Senior outside hitter Katie Mitchell emphasized that OSU can’t afford to overlook Iowa, citing the Hawkeyes’ upset win over Purdue last season. “Iowa is always a game that we really need to stay focused on,” Mitchell said. “They’re one of those dark-horse teams.” Iowa is coming off a pair of losses against Nebraska but went 10-3 in nonconference play, picking up impressive wins against then-No. 25 Texas A&M and Iowa State. The Hawkeyes aren’t currently ranked

one net. We’re not writers, we’re goaltenders. If you want the script to play out the way you feel or the way you hope, you better focus and take care of your job.” Whoever gets the nod for that first game of the weekend welcomes the challenge, but he also knows how quickly things can change. “Obviously you’re hoping to hear that you’re playing every Thursday, so when you do hear that, that you’re going to be the guy going on Friday night, it’s exciting, but at the VOLLEYBALL CONTINUES ON 7 same time you have to keep an even keel,” Tomkins said. “You can’t get too high when you’re playing and too low when you’re not.” Once again, it all comes back to just being ready. “If Thursday comes and you’re not the guy going on Friday, you still have to prepare on Friday and on Saturday as if you were going,” Tomkins said. “You never know.” Either Tomkins or Frey is set to make the first start of the year when OSU opens the regular season at home against Bowling Green on SARAH MIKATI | LANTERN PHOTOGRAPTHER Oct. 9.

Ohio State women’s soccer looks to bounce back at Illinois GABRIELLA DIGIOVANNI Lantern reporter digiovanni.6@osu.edu The Ohio State women’s soccer team (6-3-2, 1-2-1) is preparing to travel to Champaign, Illinois, to face the Illinois Fighting Illini (82-1, 2-1-1) on Friday evening. Junior forward Nichelle Prince said she is leaving Sunday’s loss to Nebraska behind as the team looks to this week’s matchup. “We did not play to our best capabilities, so it is really important that we have a really good week at practice going into Illinois because

“It’s not bad being away, we just need to make sure that we’re prepared and focused.” Nichelle Prince Junior forward

we need that confidence back and need to get back to our basics,” Prince said. This week presents OSU with its third away game in a row, but Prince doesn’t believe the travel will serve as challenge to the Buckeyes.

“It’s just really important when we’re away to get the recovery needs that we need; making sure that even though we’re in a hotel that we’re getting the sleep we need, doing pool recoveries and stretching and foam rolling,” Prince said. “It’s not bad being away, we just need to make sure that we’re prepared and focused.” Last weekend when the Buckeyes were on the road, they had two games with a day of rest in between. The game against Illinois on Friday is the only contest on the road trip for OSU, which pleases OSU coach Lori Walker.

“What I really like about this weekend is it’s a single game, and so our entire focus will go into what we need to do to compete against Illinois,” she said. The last time the Fighting Illini and Buckeyes met, OSU was defeated 4-1. Illinois is 6-0 at home this season, something that Prince said motivates her heading into the game. “I think that’s one of the things that’s really exciting because you get to go to their home and make an upset,” Prince said. “So, being on our game and playing for some-

thing, knowing that they have a lot of confidence, but so do we.” Walker said a key for success against the Fighting Illini is a well-rounded performance from all three lines — the defense, midfield and attackers. “We’ve had segments of games where each line is pretty special, but I don’t think we’ve had a full game yet where we are playing 90 minutes of quality soccer and not having lapses in our concentration,” Walker said. The Buckeyes are set to kick off at 7 p.m. at the Illinois Soccer Stadium.
