Pence, Albright hit Columbus area

Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine to visit on Wednesday NICK ROLL Campus Editor roll.66@osu.edu If he or she wanted to, an undecided Columbus voter could have started the morning by seeing former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright stump for Hillary Clinton in neighboring Westerville, then pop over to see Mike Pence, the Republican nominee for vice president, speak to supporters in the afternoon, and then top it off with an evening debate for one of Ohio’s seats in the U.S. Senate. And if somehow one’s political appetite wasn’t satiated, Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine is set to visit the Columbus area on Wednesday for a canvassing event. For those who are more into policy than politics, Democratic Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown is set to host a nonpartisan event at Ohio State on Tuesday afternoon. Pence’s and Albright’s visits were part of a slew of high-profile political visits to Columbus: President Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, and GOP presidential

OSU seeks to stop student stampedes Construction creates unexpected detours through campus green spaces

MITCH HOOPER | ENGAGEMENT EDITOR

Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence speaks to a crowd at the Greater Columbus Convention Center on Oct. 17 in Columbus. candidate Donald Trump all have visited Columbus since Oct. 10. Incumbent Republican Sen. Rob Portman debated Democratic challenger and former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, in Columbus on Monday night at 7 p.m. During his rally at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Pence spoke calmly and cooly on security abroad and at home, and also went on to address the economy.

The Indiana governor stuck to his script, even when those in attendance interrupted him with cheers. He spoke positively of Portman, and urged the several hundred audience members to vote for a Republican majority in Congress. This was in contrast to his running mate, Donald Trump, known for his off-the-cuff remarks and self-written tweets railing against PENCE CONTINUES ON 6

Students have created their own route to get between Smith Lab and McPherson Lab. PATRICK WILEY Lantern reporter wiley.221@osu.edu You’ve probably seen them, you may have even contributed to them: green areas at Ohio State that have been reduced to muddy walkways. “We call them cow paths,” said Paul Walsh, the assistant director of landscape services at OSU.

For the past year and half, since the 18th Avenue construction began, students have sought to find alternative routes to their classes in the area. For many, that has meant cutting across the university’s many lawns. And with nearly 60,000 students roaming campus this semester, those detours have quickly turned into the occasional “cow path.” COW PATHS CONTINUES ON 2

OSU transportation director recognized Portman, Strickland for leadership in alternative fuel use square off in debate KATHLEEN SENGE Lantern reporter senge.1@osu.edu Beth Snoke, director of Transportation and Traffic Management at Ohio State, was recently honored with the inaugural Municipal Equipment Maintenance Association’s inaugural President’s Award to recognize her leadership in alternative-fuel adoption. The award was given for Snoke’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of transportation at OSU through projects including the development of a

compressed natural-gas fueling station, the transition to a fleet of primarily CNG- and electric-powered campus vehicles, and the introduction of a campus bike-sharing program. “(The goal) is to reduce the carbon footprint of the university’s fleet by 25 percent by 2025,” Snoke said. Snoke was nominated by the board of MEMA’s Ohio branch. The group works to promote environmentally responsible, safe and efficient public services, with chapters in Ohio and California. Kelly Reagan, chairman of ME-

COW PATHS FROM 1

Walsh said that the resulting landscaping and mobility needs are factored into construction projects when they are carried out. “When construction occurs on campus, the resulting challenges of people walking around it are the responsibility of the project itself,” he said. “One of the last things the project will do is identify the problem areas caused by the construction.” Samy Hassen, a fourth-year in computer science and engineering, said he walks across the “cow paths” instead of the sidewalk, citing the principle that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. He went on to call the paths “shortcuts” and expressed confusion in regards to the walkways being dubbed “cow paths.” “What does that say about us?” he said. “Shortcuts definitely sound better, calling them ‘cow paths’ is a little degrading.” Nicole Holman, spokeswoman for OSU’s Office of Administration and Planning, said her office, along with the Office of Student Life’s Disability Services and the departments of Transportation and Traffic Management and Public Safety, works to ensure that that official detours are compliant to the federal Americans with Disabilities Act, and encouraged their use over unofficial paths. “Approved detours are signed accordingly and all (students) should follow the directions of those detours for safety and to avoid the creation of unpaved pathways through landscaping,” Holman said. “To encourage the use of existing pathways, we may use plantings or ‘post and chain’ to make sure that pedestrians are walking along designated areas.”

Beth Snoke, director of Transportation and Traffic Management at Ohio State, speaks at an event announcing OSU’s compressed natural-gas fueling station project. TRANSPORT FROM 1

One of the most notable steps Snoke took toward alternative fuel adoption is the compressed natural-gas fueling station. Transportation and Traffic Management broke ground on a CNG fueling station in July, intended to serve university and city of Columbus vehicles. The university operates four CABS buses that are fueled by compressed natural gas, which currently use a city of Columbus CNG station. There are six more CNG buses on order by the university. The station is set to be completed in early 2017. Snoke said that when other university vehicles need to be replaced in coming years, they will be replaced with either CNG or electric vehicles. The only vehicles that the university will not be able to replace are the charter buses used to transport athletes and other groups across the country, because the CNG infrastructure across the country is not in place for reliable fueling.

The university also has a partnership with the Stark Area Regional Transit Authority, a public-sector transit agency serving Stark County, Ohio. SARTA recently received a grant for hydrogen fuel cell buses, and has allowed OSU to operate one these buses. Engineering students have the opportunity to study the bus at the OSU Center for Automotive Research. The award also was given for the bikeshare program introduced at OSU last year. There are 15 stations across campus and 115 bikes available to encourage alternative means of transportation. “Sustainability is important to the university and it’s important to us as we move forward,” Snoke said. “These efforts demonstrate our commitment to reducing transportation’s impact on the environment and also highlight the university’s continued efforts to advance sustainability across campus.”

OSU Theatre puts on ‘Romeo and Juliet’ LINDSEY CAPRITTA Lantern reporter capritta.3@osu.edu Audience members attending the Ohio State Department of Theatre’s production of “Romeo and Juliet” should not expect a traditional performance of the classic play. The production will be an abridged version of William Shakespeare’s text adapted by guest director Alison Bomber. Bomber is an English director with a background in voice and speech. Her work has primarily focused on Shakespearean language, and she is the former senior text and voice coach for the Royal Shakespeare Company, an England-based organization that presents modernized Shakespearean productions around the world. Bomber previously collaborated with the OSU Department of Theatre, directing its 2011 production of “Othello,” as a part of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s partnership with OSU which lasted from 2009-2016. “Words have always been the center of everything for me,” Bomber said. “There’s something Shakespeare does with words that’s the same as music — it cuts

straight to the human soul.” “Romeo and Juliet” tells the tragic story of two star-crossed lovers who come from warring families. The five-act play, which typically lasts around three and a half hours, has been reduced to 100 minutes. “It’s really painful,” Bomber said of cutting down the text. “There’s no way you can get all the bits you love. What I tried to do is allow the story to hang there clearly. Then there’s a process of cutting back, finding what you can live without.” Other than some reduced lines, there are not many changes to the piece, said Zack Meyer, a second-year graduate student in acting, who plays Mercutio and other characters. The main change, he said, was the speed. “It has a very fast pace to it, there’s no intermission,” Meyer said. “Through that application of cutting it down, the audience really feels the pace and speed in which actions take place in a week in the world of the play. So it keeps it moving, it kind of pulls harder to the core of the play and issues in the play.” Much like in Shakespeare’s time, the play is performed by a

small acting troup of nine actors for OSU’s production. Between them, the cast portrays 20 roles. “We have some crazy costume changes. We are in a life of debt to the crew backstage helping us,” Meyer said. “But we also have to apply different acting nuances between characters to make them

more distinguishable. We have a hefty task ahead of us to make sure all of that is well-defined and people can grasp onto those switches more easily.” Joe Kopyt, a graduate student in acting who plays Romeo and Abraham, said the show requires a lot of energy and athleticism.

“Some emotional turns are so extreme because we’ve cut within scenes and sometimes between sentences,” Kopyt said. “There’s no time to languish in thoughts and emotions. You move on and sometimes it’s a 180 (degree turn), sometimes you’re happy in

Students bring ‘Survivor’ to campus SARA STACY Lantern reporter stacy.118@osu.edu Ohio State students who are fans of the CBS reality show “Survivor” will be able to tune in to a campus version of the show next semester. “Survivor: Time and Change” kicks off on Jan. 15 and will feature 16 student contestants. Episodes will air on YouTube as the show progresses. Greg Friedberg, a third-year

in neuroscience and president of the student organization with the same name as the show, said he and his planning team are currently looking for competitive contestants who will be committed to their concept. “The goal of this is to get people excited about ‘Survivor,’” Friedberg said. “I want these people to be best friends, I want them to be best friends who vote each other out, but I want them to be best friends.” The deadline for applications is

Friday, after which the planning committee will screen contestants and will then conduct interviews to choose the cast. A large part of the original “Survivor” is the grueling living conditions contestants must face, but in the group’s edition, students will simply compete in weekly challenges while living in their typical conditions. Aaron Shifrin, a fourth-year in anthropology and film studies and media director for the organization, said the social and strategic aspect of the original

game will remain the same. “We want to integrate the social aspect of the game into college life, and on a college campus there is a very social atmosphere,” Shifrin said. “Logistically, it would be hard to separate the tribes outside of events but we don’t really want to do that.” Together with their planning committee, Shifrin and Friedberg spent much of the summer solidifying challenges and working to become an official student organization. “I want to have it be as authentic and immersive as possible,” Shifrin said. Another notable part of the original show is the $1 million prize awarded to the winner. “Survivor: Time and Change” will not be giving away a prize on that scale, but Friedberg said the game itself is more important than the reward to most applicants. “Monetary donation-wise, we haven’t gained as much momentum as we may have wanted to, which is OK,” he said. “A lot of people who have applied so far are not in it for the money.” Yoga Six, a sponsor of “Survivor: Time and Change,” has offered a month membership as a prize to the winner, and a free class to every contestant on the show. Shifrin and Friedberg said much of their inspiration was from University of Maryland graduate Austin Trupp, who ran a popular

college campus version of “Survivor” during his time there. “Having Survivor Maryland makes everything really so easy,” Friedberg said. “There are a lot of fan-made Survivors out there, but Survivor Maryland is commonly regarded as one of the best because of how well (Trupp) did it.” Trupp ran five seasons of the show at the University of Maryland before graduating in 2015, and his concept has been adapted at several universities around the country. Although they drew much of their inspiration from Trupp’s concept, Shifrin said the committee is getting inspiration for aspects of its show from OSU itself. “There are a couple of challenge aspects that may touch on some things that have to do with the culture here at Ohio State,” Shifrin said. “But we’re also getting our ideas from a lot of different places and it’s going to make for a really nice fun slate of events.” Before working together on “Survivor: Time and Change,” Shifrin and Friedberg originally pursued working on the project individually. Shifrin ran his own season with just friends and acquaintances last spring, hoping one day to do a campus version of “Survivor” on a larger scale. Simultaneously, Friedberg was looking into creating a “Survivor” fan club when he discovered Trupp’s show and deSURVIVOR CONTINUES ON 5

Knowlton set to welcome award-winning architect MARIA FERNANDEZ Senior Lantern reporter fernandez.198@osu.edu Robert Livesey, professor and section head of architecture at Knowlton School of Architecture, said that the school only brings the most distinguished architects to lecture at Ohio State, including Ryue Nishizawa. Based in Tokyo, Nishizawa has award-winning buildings there and around the world. He has two firms and is the youngest-ever recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, the architectural equivalent of the Pulitzer. Nishizawa is this semester’s Herbert Baumer Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Knowlton School. In the recurring event, the school invites distinguished architects to come to the university to educate both architecture students and the general OSU community. “We chose him for a number of reasons,” said Ashley Schafer, professor and Graduate Chair of the Knowlton School of Architecture. “He’s a prize-winning architect. In his work, he engages in both intellectual issues and a high degree of refinement.” Schafer said that while she normally doesn’t call architecture “beautiful” she has to break her rule with Nishizawa and his firm’s works. “It’s really, exquisitely, very re-

fined, and incredibly crafted, detailed and created,” Schafer said. She said Nishizawa and his team work with hundreds of study models before they decide how they are going to build a structure. With myriad options, it allows them to devise inventive concepts. Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates, a firm Nishizawa co-founded with fellow architect Kazuyo Seijma has completed several well-known works around the world, including within Ohio. His team recently completed a glass museum in Toledo. Livesey said the lecture will be a great opportunity to hear Nishizawa talk about the building, and then go see it for themselves and see how it relates to themes in his other work. He added that consistent themes in Nishizawa’s work include transparency and integrating outdoor and indoor elements. Schafer said a lot of themes of Nishizawa’s work have to do with humans’ relationships with nature, ecology and how people interact with their city. “His work has really been influenced by Tokyo. The city is really interesting in its extreme size and density,” Schafer said. “In that way, it’s almost a chaotic, old city in its layout, and a new city in its architecture. There’s an interesting embrace of contradictions in Nishizawa’s work as well.”

Grace Farms is an artistic community in New Canaan, Connecticut, designed by Ryue Nishizawa. While both Schafer and Livesey said they think Nishizawa has much to teach Knowlton’s students, they also agree that his lecture is valuable for the entire OSU community. “Architecture isn’t about the building,” Schafer said. “It’s about its relationship to the city, to the environment, and issues of the natural, social, cultural and political environment. And I think these are issues that are interesting and

applicable to all of us, as citizens of the world.” Nishizawa will lecture at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday in Knowlton Hall’s Gui Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to the public.

with her made Shakespeare less intimidating. She made it relatable and easy to understand and didn’t take as long to get in character. We found energy from her energy.” Linnea Bond, a graduate student in acting who plays Friar Lawrence and other characters, said she fell in love with Shakespeare after seeing a production by the Royal Shakespeare Company in England as a child. She said working with Bomber has been phenomenal. “Her connection to Shake-

speare’s language is amazing,” Bond said. “She’s constantly pushing us to embody words and sounds. We focus not only on what a character is saying but how — what words they’re choosing. She showed us the power of consonants and vowels and how they use consonants and vowels to tell a story. It’s been great to work with her in that way.” Bomber said this production of “Romeo and Juliet” is an example of what theater education can create.

“Because it’s a learning institution, we can experiment,” Bomber said, “We’re engaging in a theatrical experience.” Ultimately, Bomber said she wants to make people feel the same way audiences did when they first saw the show 400 years ago. “This is when 20 percent of people don’t read and write,” Bomber said. “Language is all hearing then. You couldn’t just look up a word in a dictionary, you speak them aloud.”

“Romeo and Juliet” will be performed in the Roy Bowen Theater in the Drake Performance and Event Center, beginning Wednesday. The show runs through Oct. 30 with performances Wednesday through Sunday at 7:30 p.m each night with a 3 p.m. matinee on Sunday. Tickets are $20 for the general public; $18 for OSU faculty, staff, Alumni Association members and senior citizens; and $15 for students and children.

as a collaborator right away and it was immediately something that I wanted to do.”

PENCE FROM 1

Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, speaker of the House. Portman told The Columbus Dispatch that, after Trump’s comments on groping women surfaced in a 2005 hotmic recording, he “can no longer support (Trump).” Pence still hit common areas on the GOP presidential platform — trade, foreign policy, lowering taxes and repealing the Affordable Care Act — and criticized what he called a biased national media. “It’s not exactly a fair fight out there,” Pence said of the media. Pence also touched on his economic platform, which he said would include less taxes and regulations, attacking what he called “the war on energy.” “Any progress you’ve made in Ohio has been made in spite of what’s coming out of Washington, D.C.,” Pence said. “Day One of the Trump and Pence administration, the war on coal comes to an end.” Carson Evans, a second-year in finance at Ohio State who attended Pence’s rally, said that although Pence didn’t say anything he wasn’t expecting to hear, he enjoyed the rally. “I was very impressed, I didn’t know a lot about him before this,” Evans said, saying he hadn’t seen much of Pence besides the vice-presidential debate. “And I thought it was good that he supported Portman.” Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who was campaigning in Westerville on Monday morning for Clinton, used that opportunity to speak out against Pence and Trump. “I think that Trump says whatever occurs

to him, and it causes huge problems,” Albright said. “He has basically said NATO isn’t going to work. I have gotten so many calls from my friends in the Baltic countries saying, ‘What’s going to happen?’” Albright also defended Clinton’s foreign policy record, bringing up her experience and the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, which Pence criticized during his speech. “She worked very hard in terms of dealing with Russia,” Albright said. “She also set the real background on talks with Iran … (making) what is the most dangerous place in the world — the Middle East — safer.” Carson Evans, a second-year in finance at Ohio State who attended Pence’s rally, said that although Pence didn’t say anything he wasn’t expecting to hear, he enjoyed the rally. “I was very impressed, I didn’t know a lot about him before this,” Evans said, saying he hadn’t seen much of Pence besides the vice-presidential debate. “And I thought it was good that he supported Portman.”

HUBBARD FROM 8

fensive tackles last season, the use of a bull rush to drive the tackle backwards into the opposition’s pocket and running lane is another weapon in his repertoire. Against Wisconsin, Hubbard put the newfound talent on display, barreling over the blocker in front of him en route to the quarterback, as well as the ball carrier. All plays like these did not result in a sack or a tackle for loss, but the skill showed and Hubbard said it’s been something he has worked on. “That’s definitely something I’ve been working on,” Hubbard said. “I needed to develop that power rush to really become more dynamic. That was just a long year in

the weight room and working with coach (Larry) Johnson on how to accomplish that. Still got work to do, but it’s developing.” Joey Bosa, a first-round pick of the San Diego Chargers, has earned two sacks in the first two games of his rookie season. Along with six combined tackles, the first-round hype behind the Florida native has yet to be fulfilled at the NFL level due to an injury keeping him out for four weeks. However, his college career was nothing short of spectacular. Hearing his own name mentioned along with such a special athlete has made Hubbard work that much harder at his game, without causing him to play tight.

“It gives me confidence for sure, and I wouldn’t say it scares me with the expectation,” Hubbard said. “It’s just motivation. I’ve seen the best with Joey, and it’s a place I want to get to. I know what it takes and how to get there. I just need to keep working, keep grinding and keep making plays.”

has been the player that has been a catalyst for the Rushmen. Only a year removed from surgery to repair an anterior cruciate ligament, Bosa has been moving along slowly under the regimen of Johnson to ensure no further injury. The freshman from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has primarily been on the field for pass-rushing purposes, giving the interior defensive linemen the chance to stop the run and Bosa the opportunity to stay fresh; something that paid off in the end for he and the Buckeyes. “Coach J told us that it was going to have to be a heart win,” Bosa said after the game. “That’s what he preached all week and we pulled it from our heart and came through.” Each of the four Rushmen registered a sack against Wisconsin, marking a teamhigh four sacks in a game this season for the

Silver Bullets. Making it more impressive, each sack came at a time of need for OSU. The Rushmen have been a notably dominant force all season, but when the lights were the brightest, they stole the show. “As we have more success, the brotherhood is going to be stronger and stronger ... This does nothing but help us,” co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell said after the game. “I don’t know if there’s a guy out there that thought they played their best game they could’ve, but they know they fought together, climbed together and it makes them realize they need one another.”

RUSHMEN FROM 7

“We pride ourselves on not letting them score so we just put it all out there and we play together as a unit,” Holmes said. Meyer said during Monday’s media availability that attitude isn’t adjusted by any speech any of the coaches make, whether it be at halftime, before or during a game. He said that the units on the team build that trust in the offseason, and no group trusts one another more than the Rushmen. “The best I’ve heard is when Larry Johnson and his guys get together. That’s a brotherhood. That’s why they play hard now,” he said. “That’s not something that’s said at halftime. It’s something that’s been in progress really since you walk foot on campus.” Holmes, Lewis and Hubbard have spent at least three years in the program, but Bosa

OSU Rushmen unit deserves respect after Wisconsin JACOB MYERS Assistant Sports Editor myers.1669@osu.edu Ohio State redshirt freshman Nick Bosa, redshirt sophomore Sam Hubbard, junior Jalyn Holmes and redshirt junior Tyquan Lewis were all on the field for the final play of OSU’s 30-23 overtime victory at No. 8 Wisconsin. The four defensive ends collectively known as the Rushmen looked at each other and decided, as a unit, the game was on them. At the snap of the ball, Lewis, Holmes and Bosa bull-rushed Wisconsin redshirt freshman quarterback Alex Hornibrook and sacked him to end the game before he had a second to get rid of the ball. Lewis was credited with the sack. Hubbard said the message from defensive line coach Larry Johnson has been very clear. The Rushmen mantra is “R2X,” meaning rush to the “X,” with “X” be-

Johnson even has the three-letter adage in his Twitter handle. “You can see on that last play all four of us were at the ‘X’ like we’re supposed to be. That’s what we do,” Hubbard said on Monday. Long before overtime was in the realm of possibility, the Buckeyes

found themselves down 16-6 at half and had allowed 313 yards in the first half, including 170 on the ground, on defense. Both surpassed OSU’s average per game. Coach Urban Meyer came into the locker room and said he was looking to tear into his players. However, the score could have

been much worse. The Rushmen kept the score tight early in the game, with multiple third-down stops earlier in the game for OSU. On the first drive of the game, Bosa sacked Hornibrook to halt the drive at the OSU 21-yard line and forced a field goal. In the second quarter, after a 28-yard run by Wisconsin redshirt junior Jazz Peavy that put the Badgers at midfield, Hubbard sacked Hornibrook to end the drive. Then, right before the half, when the Badgers had first-and-goal from the five yard

line, the Rushmen got into the backfield, forcing errant throws from Hornibrook and stopped the Wisconsin offense from leading by more than just 16-6 at halftime. “It’s a party to the quarterback,” Holmes said. “It’s a race, whoever gets there first. We just celebrate when we get there. We just get to show our talent and speed. We can play anywhere on that defensive line.” The Rushmen are a large reason as to why OSU ranks first in the country in red zone defense at 62.5 percent. When the OSU defense can suppress chunk plays and get its opponent to third or fourth down, the four men across from the ball often deliver to get redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett and the offense back on the field. Holmes said coach Johnson deserves much of the credit for the success of the unit. He76985 said the sky is the limit for the group.

NICK MCWILLIAMS Sports Editor mcwilliams.66@osu.edu The start to redshirt sophomore Sam Hubbard’s football career was unconventional at best. Now, just a few years after a fateful recruiting trip by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer to Archbishop Moeller High School, Hubbard is hearing his name mentioned alongside San Diego Chargers de-

fensive end Joey Bosa. To think, the entire journey began when OSU coaches watched him play dodgeball. In the winter of 2012, Meyer and cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs found their way to Archbishops Moeller on a recruiting trip. After watching the big-framed body move around the basketball court with ease, Meyer wanted to see what he could do on the field. “Who is that big freak running

around on the gym floor?” Meyer jokingly said during a radio show in 2014. He was an average football player, but a great dodgeball player.” Hubbard was a skilled lacrosse player, who just so happened to be a first-team Associated Press Division I all-state safety in 2013. After considering playing lacrosse in college, a football scholarship offer from the Buckeyes landed Hubbard in Columbus.

Hubbard redshirted the 2014 season and spent the year experimenting with playing at linebacker and tight end with OSU coaches. With a full season under his belt last year, the Cincinnati, Ohio, native is blossoming in his pass-rushing role. With six games down in 2016, Hubbard has 17 tackles, 2.5 sacks and is a key member of the Rushmen package that has been brought in for thirddown passing scenarios.

“Oh, the defensive line is walking on — they’re walking around here like they’re king of the hill,” Meyer said on the Monday following the Indiana game. “Like all elite warriors, you wait for your next mission, and that’s what those guys are doing.” Hubbard is one of those warriors, and he has been proving it all year.

Cardinal conflict: OSU battles No. 4 Louisville on Tuesday GENE ROSS Lantern reporter ross.1275@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s soccer team is looking to continue its recent improved play as it hits the road to face off against No. 4 Louisville on Tuesday night. The Buckeyes looked revitalized during their two-game home stretch, as they dominated Oakland 3-0 and battled No. 7 Indiana to a 2-2 draw. “It started really with the Maryland game where we played really well,” coach John Bluem said. “We lost 2-0, but the spirit of the guys and the desire to fight right to the last minute started in that game and carried over.” Despite not coming away with the win against the Hoosiers, the draw did have an effect on OSU’s confidence going into the game against the Cardinals. “Louisville is a team we know is very good,” said junior forward Nate Kohl. “We should have beaten Indiana. I think we had the chances. But they beat Louisville last week so it helps us to know it is totally doable to beat Louisville tomorrow.” At 9-3-2, Louisville has had a very impressive season. They have beaten a number of highly ranked opponents, including 1-0

The Buckeyes won 4-1. victories over No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 3 Syracuse. Much like Maryland, the Cardinals have dominated opponents when it comes to scoring. Louisville has outscored its competition 26-8, which averages to 1.86 goals per games. Louisville is led by forward Mohamed Thiaw. The 6-foot-2 junior from Lexington, Kentucky, has found the back of the net nine

times this season, while adding an assist to give himself a team-leading 19 points. The Cardinals come into the game on a two-game losing streak, with losses to Indiana and at No. 7 Wake Forest. The Indiana game was Louisville’s only loss at home this year, playing to a 6-1-1 record at Dr. Mark and Cindy Lynn Stadium. For the Buckeyes, guys will

continue to have to step up to fill the shoes of a couple of starters who remain sidelined with injuries. “There’s a lot of guys on the team now who are seeing minutes that didn’t really in the beginning of the year,” said senior forward Ben Fitzpatrick. “With a team of only 23 guys, depth can be an issue, but I think we have done well with finding roles for everyone. It

is going to be important for everyone to make an impact on the game.” While the season has not gone all too well for OSU, the team continues to stress it is better than the record indicates. The team feels that if a few bounces go its way Tuesday night, it can upset the Cardinals. “This season we have needed a bit of luck,” junior defender Niall Logue said. “It has been on our side, and it’s also not been on our side. We feel like we can take anyone in this league. We just need the luck and the confidence.”
