Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity to return to OSU

All-women Greek organization plans to begin recruiting, have a house for Autumn Semester ARIANA BERNARD Station Manager bernard.185@osu.edu This month Ohio State’s Panhellenic Association will recognize a new chapter as Zeta Tau Alpha recolonizes on campus.

ZTA originally colonized in 1921 but decided to close its OSU chapter in 1991 because of low membership compared with other chapters on campus.

“We have been patiently waiting 25 years for the right time to return, and 2016 is definitely that time. We can’t wait for ZTA to be back at Ohio State,” said Brooke Bahlinger, a traveling leadership consultant for ZTA. ZTA participated in the first round of the PHA’s formal recruitment that took place in late January with OSU’s 16 already-established PHA sororities. ZTA presented during the first round of formal recruitment, but promptly dropped out as part of the colonization process, and will continue its own recruitment process in February.

There are currently eight consultants on campus in charge of recruitment, which involves more than three events, said Heather Giovenco, a traveling leadership consultant for ZTA. “The first one is called Experience ZTA, which is pretty much an open house for interested students to learn about the basics of Zeta.

The second is Think Pink, Think Zeta, based on our philanthropy of breast cancer education and awareness. The final event is our prefer-

ence round,” Giovenco said.

The events are set to occur next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and they will run similar to PHA’s formal recruitment of “infoviews,” events in which students can learn more about ZTA, and ZTA can learn more about them.

ZTA’s recruitment process will

wrap up with its bid day on Feb. 11. Bahlinger said the amount of bids the fraternity plans to give out will be “comparable” to the sizes of other chapters.

“We don’t know that number specifically, but it will probably be between 160 and 200 girls,” Bahlinger said.

Although the women’s fraternity will begin anew at OSU, it has a history of being colonized at other Big Ten schools.

“We have 166 collegiate chapters. We are located at all of the Big Ten schools, so we’re really familiar with how Big Ten football is and how academic it is, so we’re super excited to bring that full circle here at Ohio State,” Bahlinger said.

Although the new members will not be welcomed into a house this semester, the women’s fraternity is planning to have a house by next fall.

“We know that housing is a big part of being Greek at Ohio State, and we are not oblivious to that fact,” Bahlinger said. “But the girls will have enough sisterhood activities in the (Ohio) Union and fun stuff planned for them. We will have a house in the fall.”

Some current members of PHA said they feel having ZTA on campus will enhance the Panhellenic and Greek communities at OSU. “Zeta really stands out because of their values and amazing local alumni support,” said Carla Ibarra, vice president of recruitment for OSU’s PHA and a fourth-year in strategic communication. “The consultants that are helping Zeta recolonize are also incredible women, and I would encourage anyone that isn’t currently in a chapter to go through their recruitment process.”

Kevin McClatchy, as Prospero, and Greg Hicks, as Caliban, in “The Tempest.”

The works of William Shakespeare have long been studied for their depth, rhythm and progressiveness, but more recently, actors at Ohio State are using them for drama therapy.

Since 2012, the Shakespeare and Autism Project at OSU has worked with children on the autism spectrum using Shakespeare’s “The Tempest.” Actors create games inspired by “The Tempest” and teach them to the children in order to encourage social skills and establish personal connections.

This particular method of drama therapy, called the Hunter Heartbeat Method, was developed by

Kelly Hunter, a British actress and director, in the early 2000s. Hunter first used Shakespeare as a rehabilitation method for prison inmates in England, but once she saw that it was successful, she adapted her method to help children on the autism spectrum, said Kevin McClatchy, an assistant professor of theater.

Hunter is an ensemble actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, which partners with the university, and she brought the Hunter Heartbeat Method to the OSU Department of Theatre and the Nisonger Center in 2011.

Public Safety debuts new, mobile-friendly website CAITLYN SACK Lantern reporter sack.23@osu.edu The Ohio State Department of Public Safety launched a new, mobile-friendly website with the goal of enhancing communication and safety on and off campus.

The website, which was updated Jan. 22, is designed to be more responsive and mobile-friendly, which in turn will allow students to easily access safety tips and resources, said Dan Hedman, Office of Administration and Planning spokesman, in an email.

“Recent polls have shown nearly eight out of 10 college students use a smartphone on a regular basis, and the focus on consuming news or information from the palm of your hand continues to increase,” Hedman said.

Hedman said that the website has a responsive design and “is tailored to better serve (the) university community.”

The website also features large graphics and buttons with streamlined content that support fast and efficient browsing from smartphones, tablets and desktops, he added.

The mobile site’s home screen allows viewers to almost instantly call emergency and nonemergency telephone numbers. The website also includes short write-ups on each of the departments that make up the Department of Public Safety, and provides the phone numbers of four other police departments in the Columbus area.

Ohio State study follows kids’ food choices SHANGQUAN SHI Lantern reporter shi.719@osu.edu A new research study conducted by Ohio State professors challenged the idea that people who adopt healthy eating behaviors will naturally decrease their unhealthy eating habits.

The research team led by Sarah Anderson, an associate professor of epidemiology, found that preschoolers in a low-income area in Columbus, who regularly eat fruits and vegetables every day, do not necessarily refuse sweets and fast food.

Co-author Gail Kaye, an assistant professor of clinical public health, said that a diet is sometimes evaluated using a composite score that blends how much healthy and unhealthy food a person consumes.

“Healthy and unhealthy aspects of children’s diets may turn out to be independent of one another,” Kaye said. “The assumption that the healthy eating behaviors would displace the unhealthy eating behaviors did not pan out.”

For the study, 290 parents and guardians of 357 preschool children were interviewed. The parents and guardians were asked to reflect on the children’s consumption of various types of foods in the past week.

The article stated that fruits, vegetables and milk were categorized as healthy food while sugar-sweet-

a much larger, possibly national, sample.

“We did this research in a very small sample here in Columbus,” Kaye said. “We’ll see if the same kind of finding holds up on a more representative sample of U.S. children.”

Co-author Carol Smathers, an assistant professor of public health, said that if the conclusion does hold true, parents need to take two approaches to address children’s obesity, focusing on nutrition education on both choosing the “good food” and not choosing the “bad food.”

“A greater emphasis may need to be placed on removing the unhealthy foods and beverage choices from environments where the young children live,” she said.

ened beverages, fast food, sweets and salty snacks were considered unhealthy parts of children’s diets.

The response categories ranged from “none” to “four or more times per day.”

The result showed that about half

the children ate fruit two or more times a day. More than a third of them ate vegetables several times a day. About 96 percent drank milk at least once a day.

However, only 33 percent of the children in the study did not drink

Center, where they help conduct workshops with the children.

While there is no such thing as a typical workshop, McClatchy said each one begins with the Heartbeat Hello. During the Heartbeat Hello, both the children and actors tap out a heartbeat on their chests and greet one another in synchronization. McClatchy said the Heartbeat Hello is a transition into the world of Shakespeare and the games.

instead of making a silly noise, each child says,“I love you.”

“The biggest take away for anyone to learn is that individuals on the autism spectrum can learn, and they can love very well. They just don’t know how to express it, but this program helps them to do so,” Girvin said.

The annual capstone production of Shakespeare and Autism is a performance of “The Tempest,” in which both actors and children play roles. The first capstone production was performed in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, and was directed by Kelly Hunter. Now they continually take place at OSU. “(The production) heightens the workshop experience and it turns it into a theatrical event where the story is told with these incredible games,” McClatchy said.

Most performances have the dual purpose of securing grants; the most recent donor being Patricia Heaton, an OSU alumna and actress from ABC’s “The Middle.”

McClatchy said she hopes the program continues to gain support so the Hunter Heartbeat Method can expand.

“Our ultimate goal is to ripple the work out as far and wide as possible,” McClatchy said. “To continually have teaching artists who work all over the U.S. doing workshops and engaging and helping as many children with autism as possible.”

middle school for two years to work with children with autism. The Nisonger Center tested these children before, during and after the drama therapy, and released the results of its research in May 2015.

“Their research was encouraging in the sense that there was statistically significant improvement in certain targeted areas,” McClatchy said. “For example, social use of language, facial recognition and eye contact.”

Parents, teachers, and caregivers reported significant behavioral improvements, suggesting more than a statistical improvement, McClatchy said. Some parents, who believed their child to be nonverbal, saw their child speaking lines during the games and performances.

Elizabeth Girvin, a third-year in psychology and theater, said she was initially interested in the program because her older brother is on the autism spectrum. She said she believes the games are highly beneficial to the children.

“They are heartwarming and fun and active,” Girvin said. “You can see how for kids on the autism spectrum, who struggle making connections with others, it can be a beautiful thing.”

Girvin is one of eight students in the Shakespeare and Autism course, which has been offered at OSU since fall 2013. The course trains students to be teaching actors before they travel to the Nisonger

“It is a gateway into playing games because it is directly related to Shakespeare’s language, the iambic pentameter, which has the comforting rhythm of a heartbeat,” McClatchy said.

Girvin said her favorite game is Oh You Wonder. During this game, one boy plays Ferdinand from “The Tempest” and one girl plays Miranda. Ferdinand chases Miranda and when they make eye contact, Ferdinand makes a silly noise and turns his fingers into pretend glasses, and Miranda runs away, embarrassed.

Girvin said the children do this two to three times, but on the final time,

Hedman said he believes that the revamped site and communication improvements will resonate with the always-changing student population.

Jacquelyn Gardner, a third-year in marketing, said she first heard of University Police’s website updates on Twitter.

The public safety department website now provides six additional services to students.

The website can be used by students to

request safe rides from Student Safety Services, and it gives Rape Aggression Defense training and registration times. It also provides an event-planning model, which guides event planners through devising a safe, successful event.

YOGA SIX The national chain of yoga studios has opened a new location on North High Street geared toward Ohio State students. ON PAGE 5 COLUMBUS’ OWN

The Bascinets’ break through with distinguishing talents ZAK KOLESAR Lantern reporter kolesar.25@osu.edu

“We’ve met some really amazing, nice people who are probably way too nice to us.”

In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a weekly series that profiles a new Columbus band/artist each week.

The synthesis of The Bascinets, one of Columbus’ latest indie rock acts, is one that reflects destiny.

Four of the members attended the same high school, one member was a superfan of the group and another brought a whole new element that is helping define the band’s contemporary sound.

“We worked for six months just to try to get comfortable with what we had in each other,” said Liam Bailey, drummer and a second-year in data analytics at Ohio State.

The Bascinets’ synergy, though, stems initially from high school friendships dating back more than five years.

While seniors at Grove City High School, vocalists and guitarists Nick Wellman and Tristan Huygen collaborated on songs, recording on an old-fashioned multitrack player. Bailey was a mutual high school friend, and within his first year at OSU he met keyboardist and percussionist Brooklyn Ludlow, a current third-year in jazz composition.

The aforementioned four started working on a five-song demo in the winter of 2014, and from there things progressed rather smoothly.

“Here is a Little Demo” was released in June 2015.

ZAK KOLESAR | LANTERN REPORTER

From left: Vocalist and guitarist Nick Wellman, bassist and backup vocalist Ethan Benton and guitarist and vocalist Tristan Huygen get in sync during a performance of “Lorenzo, Always,” at the Lantern TV studio.

“We were able to hit the ground running in the summer, so we’ve been playing pretty consistently since July,” said Huygen, a second-year in music technology at Capital University.

However, before bassist and backup vocalist Ethan Benton made The Bascinets complete after it mutually parted ways with two members, he was in the audience reciting the band’s songs.

Benton even has a collection of Wellman’s solo work on his iPod that has since been deleted from the Internet by the singer.

“Honestly I was just super excited for them and just crazy jeal-

ous, so jealous I wasn’t a part of it,” Benton said. “It worked out, I guess.”

The current nucleus of The Bascinets took very little time to master old material and begin creating its next project. Benton’s addition to the band was a seamless transition, only taking two to three practices before the newest member was gig-ready.

“Now we’re actually a functioning band, so we’re all working on creating this music together as opposed to us just laying something down and them coming in and learning it,” Huygen said.

The Bascinets aim to keep lis-

teners at attention with the method the members use to create songs.

An inside joke among the band members is how lengthy the band’s tracks can be, but the elongated songs equally feature each member and constantly lead audiences in unforeseen directions.

“There have been times where we’ve thought we’ve written, like, ‘Oh, this is a shorter, poppier thing,’ and then, ‘Oh, it’s like almost five minutes,’” Wellman said.

The most recent road that The Bascinets is traveling down in establishing its position in the Columbus music scene is being navigated by Ludlow’s charismatic

keyboard playing and Wellman’s smooth, folk-esque voice.

“We’re extremely lucky to have (Ludlow), otherwise I always say we’d just be some guitarist-singing a--holes,” Huygen said. “We’d just be another guitar band.”

Beyond keyboard playing, Ludlow also plays percussive instruments, such as tambourine. Bailey described Ludlow’s ability to multitask as almost equivalent to adding two whole members to the ensemble, and “infuriatingly good.”

“For the past month I’ve just been learning all of the parts of the second keyboard player too and trying to play them all at the same time,” Ludlow said.

Wellman’s welcoming voice also bridges the individual talents of the other members. It compliments his confused and lighthearted lyrics, such as, “They tell me but I don’t understand / That somewhere underneath the skin of this boy is a man,” on “I’d Rather Not,” a track from the demo.

The major elements providing each song with multiple textures come from the two most polarizing members of The Bascinets,

Yoga Six offers alternative to RPAC SARA STACY For The Lantern stacy.118@osu.edu This winter, a new yoga studio opened for Ohio State students to warm up and find their zen during the frozen months.

Yoga Six at 1624 N. High St. offers another option for OSU students looking to expand their fitness regimen beyond the free classes offered at the RPAC. But they must be willing to pay an extra fee.

The national yoga chain expanded to OSU’s campus this December with a soft opening during finals week last semester, and began offering a full range of classes on Jan. 4. Unlike the classes that students can take for free with a BuckID at the RPAC, there is a drop-in rate of $20 per class. New members can pay $49 for unlimited classes in their first month of membership, with the cost rising

“While the RPAC is wonderful that they offer free classes, I think at Yoga Six you really know what you’re getting into,” said studio manager Meghan Rolfs.

Program manager Alece Demaray echoed students’ appreciation for the studio’s expertise.

“The feedback I’ve gotten from students who are coming in is that the RPAC is great, but those are often full and we offer more variety,” she said. “There’s an expectation of the classes, and the instructors are well-trained for that.”

Yoga Six offers seven different

types of classes for all different levels of experience. Beginner flow classes introduce students to the basics of yoga, while its Hot Yoga and Bootcamp classes are geared toward people who are looking for a more intensive workout.

OSU students have been taking up the new member offer and trying out these classes for themselves. The variety of classes is what some students, like Julia Mattis, a first-year in art, are looking for in their yoga practice.

“I practiced a lot at a hot yoga studio in my hometown over win-

ter break, and I really wanted to continue hot yoga, and I was able to keep doing it at Yoga Six,” Mattis said.

However, the extra price for a wider variety of classes might not be for everyone.

“I can see for the average person who does it for fun, it probably isn’t worth it,” said Gabby Michaeli, a second-year in public health.

“But if you’re serious about yoga and use it as an outlet for stress, it’s worth the money.”

Despite being a part of a larger national chain, this Yoga Six location is taking strides to connect

Acclaimed architect’s design on display at Knowlton MARIA FERNANDEZ Lantern reporter fernandez.198@osu.edu Architect Jose Oubrerie was strolling through his friend Steven Holl’s landscape architecture park in Rhinebeck, N. Y., trying to find the ideal spot for the meditation pavilion that Holl had asked him to design.

“There were a lot of ponds there at that time of year, and we were swarmed and bitten by so many mosquitoes,” Oubrerie said.

Thus the name for the pavilion, the Chapel of the Mosquitoes, was born. Starting tonight at 5 p.m., Ohio State students can go see the model of this and two other buildings that Oubrerie, an international award-winning architect and professor emeritus of architecture at the Knowlton School of Architecture, has designed. The gallery will also consist of some of Oubrerie’s paintings.

Oubrerie was originally a fulltime painter, but when sales were not going well, he said he decided to study architecture in Paris. That proved to be a pretty smart career move, as his designs have been featured and implemented around the

“When you conceive a design in your mind and then it becomes reality, it’s a fantastic feeling,” Oubrerie said.

Oubrerie is the last living protégé of the notable architect, Le Corbusier, according to Curtis Roth, associate professor of architecture and manager of the Banvard Gallery in the Knowlton School. Roth described Corbusier as one of the most important architects of the 20th century.

While the buildings are Oubrerie’s own work, they are inspired

by Corbusier’s precepts. The main

focus of the exhibit is the design for the Chapel of the Mosquitoes, which combines elements of the other two buildings in the exhibit: the French Cultural Center built in Damascus, Syria, in 1972, and The Miller House, a private home built in Lexington, Kentucky, in 1991.

Unlike the other two buildings, which have already been built, the Chapel of the Mosquitoes is still in the planning and funding stages. It will be about 12 feet tall and 12 feet wide, and it will feature one of Corbusier’s core precepts: detached walls, with three separate but interconnected L-shaped pieces that

connect the roof, floor and walls, according to Oubrerie.

Oubrerie discussed the types of new materials that will be used in the construction of the building.

“We are experimenting with a very high-resistance concrete, which is using small pieces of metal which you mix when making concrete,” he said. “This allows the walls to be thinner. It is also cheaper.”

Oubrerie got inspiration for the building by the pueblos he saw in New Mexico. The roof will be inverted so that water can go into the building through a channel and then be sent out.

Oubrerie doesn’t know when construction will begin, but both the Steven Myron Holl Foundation and Knowlton are organizing funds for the construction of the building. For now, students can go see the proposed design in the Banvard Gallery.

The exhibit will be on display until Feb. 25.

An online model for a Brutus that the Lego Brick Club plans to build.

Two Ohio State students have built their own club, Lego brick by Lego brick.

Jaclyn Camus, a second-year in animal science, and Emma Clark, a second-year in biology, co-founded the Lego Brick Club, a student organization aimed at using Legos to create a social and stress-free environment for students. Meetings will include event planning, as well as building and creating with Legos.

Clark, a lifelong Lego fan, had been looking for a Lego club at OSU, and when she could not find one, she said she decided to make one herself.

“I’ve liked Legos since I was 5, or whenever I could start building, and when I would say my interest (is) Legos to all my friends, they would be like, ‘Oh, that’s so cool. I actually want to see all your Legos,’ so I figured more of the

student body would want to do it too,” Clark said.

Camus, Clark’s roommate, was one of the club’s first recruits.

“I’ve always enjoyed (Legos), but I never really played with them.

But (Clark) really wanted to do it, and I love planning things,” said Camus, who also acts as the treasurer for the group.

Both Camus and Clark said starting a club at OSU has been more work than they expected, and they have had to do things such as write a constitution and find a faculty adviser, who is now Joseph Donnermeyer, a professor in the College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

“I asked Jackie and some of my other roommates who their favorite teacher was, and I just emailed them. We ended up with (Camus’) sociology teacher,” Clark said. “He is really funny and he’s up for anything.”

The co-founders are planning to use their group for service as well.

“We want to go to schools and

maybe children’s hospitals and just teach the kids about Legos and the community and building,” Camus said.

The co-founders hope to make plans for the future of the club at the first meeting.

“We want to get a bigger population interested in Legos, maybe start one service project and in our first meeting figure out what we want to build first as a collective group. We want to start building cool things that we can put in the (Ohio Union) or display around campus,” Camus said.

Camus and Clark said they are excited to see all of their hard work pay off this week at the first meeting.

“It’s just a nice way to let off steam, building things and doing artistic stuff like that. And who doesn’t like playing with Legos?”

Camus said.

The meeting will be Thursday from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Mortar Board Room in Thompson Library.

musical DNA. The modest attitudes are bandwide, and their behavior has been rewarded thus far. Every show The Bascinets has performed up to now was set up by other local bands asking the band to accompany them onstage.

“We’ve met some really amazing, nice people who are probably way too nice to us,” Bailey said.

So the story of The Bascinets thus far seems like one linked with destiny, but maybe its early success is a reflection of Columbus musicians recognizing up-andcoming talent.

Either or, the members of The Bascinets are living in the moment

after finally finding members all on the same wavelength and sharing a similar long-term vision and passion.

“I gotta say this is like the incarnation of the dream right here,” Huygen said.

OPINION

Buckeyes to shine in Super Bowl KYLE MCKINNON For The Lantern mckinnon.99@osu.edu Ohio State’s football season might be over, but a handful of Buckeyes are preparing for the biggest sporting event of the year. On Sunday, five former standouts from OSU will be competing in Super Bowl 50 between the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos.

Wide receivers Corey “Philly” Brown and Ted Ginn Jr., safety Kurt Coleman and left guard Andrew Norwell are suiting up for the Panthers, while cornerback Bradley Roby plays for the Broncos.

All are key contributors and could very well be deciding factors in Sunday’s highly anticipated showdown.

From the looks of it, this Super Bowl has all the makings of a classic, especially in the eyes of the OSU faithful.

Looking at the former Buckeyes, each have played integral roles in helping their conference champion squads to this point. The Panthers had big questions surrounding their

offense before the season began, but those have since been answered in large part thanks to Brown, Ginn and Norwell.

In an offensive system that likes to spread the ball around, Brown and Ginn served as two much-needed playmakers, combining for 75 receptions, 1,186 yards and 14 touchdowns. In the NFC Championship Game, Brown reeled in a career-long 86-yard touchdown catch, while the nine-year veteran Ginn provided an electrifying 22yard run in Carolina’s 49-15 rout of the Arizona Cardinals. Both Buckeye wideouts will try to take the top off the Broncos defense, something the former OSU receivers have been able to do throughout the season.

Down in the trenches, Norwell helps anchor an offensive line that was supposed to be the weakest link on the team. Thanks in part to the much-improved second-year guard, the Panthers have one of the strongest rushing attacks in the league, and it has kept quarterback Cam Newton upright (hit only 61 times, third-fewest in the NFL) and “dabbing” on the way to what should be his first MVP award.

Coleman, in his first year with the Panthers, was signed in the offseason with the goal of reigniting a career that many thought was nearing its end after just six years. Not only did he silence that talk, but

Joining Coleman in the defensive ranks is Roby, who was Brown’s college roommate. Roby has been fantastic for the Broncos since arriving in 2014, collecting three interceptions with 23 passes defended, including a game-winning scoop-and-score in Week 2 this season against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Although he’s officially Denver’s third cornerback, he is rarely ever not on the field. Roby will likely line up across from Brown at times

on Sunday, a matchup that’s worth keeping an eye on.

From the look of it, this Super Bowl has all the makings of a classic, especially in the eyes of the OSU faithful. It’s a rare occurrence to have five starters from one school competing for a championship, and it’s not something that should be taken for granted.

The Scarlet and Gray’s football season might have ended back on Jan. 1, but their season comes back to life on Sunday beginning at 6:30 p.m. thanks to their former star players.

“Our biggest strength is our camaraderie, we’re a close group of guys and it shows on the ice,” Sperli said. “This year we have a more stable system, and we’re more focused and hardworking in trying to get wins and make it to regionals.”

Senior defenseman Peter Myeroff, who serves as the club president, also credits the improved record to the new mentality.

“The biggest thing is the culture change this year. We’ve stressed a lot of being on time, being responsible, everybody playing their role and playing as a team, not individually,” Myeroff said.

However, Myeroff said that club sports aren’t only about winning to the extent that a varsity or professional sport is.

“While we want to compete for sure, we want to go to regionals, we want to go to nationals, we want to win games, guys are here to meet people, have fun, make friends and have a good time,” Myeroff said.

“We try to find a balance.”

In order to reach regionals, the Buckeyes still have an uphill battle.

“Every game is important right now,” Runco said. “We dropped a few games that I don’t think we should have dropped, and that’s just where we’re at. We need to win every game.”

Sperli, who plans to take over as president next season, said that regardless of where the team finishes this season, the future is bright for the club program with Runco guiding the way.

“We’re definitely going to go upwards. In the past, we didn’t have the mentality and the structure of winning games,” Sperli said. “Coach Mark is really helping with that and getting the team under control. I think we’re on the upswing.”

The OSU men’s hockey club is scheduled to participate in an outdoor tournament in Detroit on Friday and Saturday and finish its regular season in an away series against Penn State on Feb. 12 and 13.

though, said she wants to make sure that Prince immerses herself in the emotions of the big moment.

“Any time that you find yourself on a big stage, you want to really enjoy the moment and soak it in,” Walker said. “That’s one of Nichelle’s greatest qualities. Whatever stage she’s on, she plays her best and gives it her all.”

to work, and I’m looking forward to having more trust and assurance from my teammates when I have the ball.”

Coach Alexis Venechanos, in her sixth year at the helm for the Buckeyes, said Dabrowski and the rest of the senior class have always had great leaders above them, and she expects them to carry that quality on to their younger teammates.

“I think Cian is really taking on the leadership role well,” Venechanos said. “She’s taking some of these newcomers under her wing in the attacking end, and she’s working well with our returners and some players who need a little more game experience.”

Dabrowski said having nine teammates in her class brings a sense of variable leadership, which is reflected throughout the entire team.

“Looking at nine of us for leadership is a blessing for our team, because it allows for so much diversity, and that unifies us with the younger girls,” Dabrowski said.

“Our senior class is the most determined, hardworking and passionate group of girls that I am fortunate enough to call my teammates.”

Venechanos said she is excited to see how Dabrowski will influence her team this season.

“In the big stage, Cian is clutch,” Venechanos said. “She will be a person we will look up to both on and off the field this year.”

Growing up in a lacrosse and hockey family, Dabrowski said she has a different perception of the game, which is something that she said she can use to her advantage as a leader.

“I hope to continue to use this to my advantage in the upcoming season by inspiring my teammates to approach things differently,” Dabrowski said. “This is something that the Buckeye lacrosse atmosphere motivates me to do, while continuing with our own traditions, it can be truly humbling.”

Venechanos said Dabrowski is a phenomenal player and an even better person, making her the ideal leader for the team. The hype around the Canadian product led to her being one of three OSU players named to the Big Ten’s players to watch list on Monday.

“She has this great sense of self-confidence and never gets flustered when she makes a mistake,” Venechanos said. “She has this poise around her, and I’m really impressed with her competitiveness and determination.”

Dabrowski and the Buckeyes are set to kick off their 2016 season on Feb. 13 against Detroit at 3:30 p.m. at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

Prince of OSU LUKE SWARTZ Lantern reporter swartz.276@osu.edu

Equipped with a profound respect for the game and a will to do her nation proud, Nichelle Prince will take on the task of representing her country in Olympic qualifying.

Prince, now a senior on the Ohio State women’s soccer team, was awarded one of the highest honors in all of athletics last week when she was named to Canada’s 2016 CONCACAF Women’s Olympic Qualifying roster. The team will compete in a series of matches over the next few months for a spot in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

“It’s a huge honor for me and I am really excited to get to play with some players that I have looked up to since I was little,” Prince said.

“Playing on this level and having a chance to go to the Olympics is something that I am very proud of.”

Prior to her addition to the qualifying team, Prince made seven appearances with the Canadian national team, making two starts and tallying three goals. This, however, will be the first opportunity she has had to be on a team that can qualify for the Olympics.

Born in Ajax, Ontario, Prince has been working for many years to have an opportunity to play on this grand of a stage. She has experience playing against high-level competition, spending years participating in U-15, U-17 and U-20 teams in addition to her seven international spots with the national squad.

When OSU coach Lori Walker heard the news that Prince had been added to the Olympic-qualifying roster, she was able to reflect

Then-junior forward Nichelle Prince (7) dribbles with the ball during a game against Minnesota on Sept. 17.

Ohio State soccer’s Nichelle Prince “very proud” to represent Canada in Olympic qualifiers on her emotions as the coach of the player receiving this special opportunity.

“As a coach, it is a wonderful feeling to know that you have been a part of helping a player to get to the highest stage,” Walker said.

“It’s a very proud moment to know that you have influenced them and helped in some capacity.”

Walker expressed that what Prince brings to her team is more than just on-the-field talent, but a true heart for the game and an ability to fit whatever role is needed to give her team the best chance to win.

Prince has brought both those things and more to the pitch for OSU in her three years with the

team. The scholar-athlete was named to both the Big Ten all-freshman team and the conference’s second team in her freshman season.

She missed time with a leg injury as a sophomore, but fast-forward to last season, when Prince helped the Buckeyes play all the way to the NCAA round of 16.

In the 2015 season, Prince was tied for the team lead with six goals and was alone on top with 19 points.

She said she feels that staying focused on the moment is important, but even so, she is still trying to learn things in her time with the Olympic qualifying team that she can bring back with her to Columbus for her final year wearing scar-

let and gray.

“When I come back in the fall, I want to make sure that I’m being a leader to the team and that I use my experiences that I have with the national team to really get us far,” Prince said. “I’m just trying to improve every single day and be able to impact my team at Ohio State.”

The qualifying matches are scheduled to be held in Houston starting on Feb. 11. The Canadian squad is in a group consisting of Guyana, Guatemala and Trinidad and Tobago. The entire tournament has eight teams consisting of two groups. The top team in each group qualifies for Olympic play.

The pressures from such a big stage can have effects on the mindset of a player, but Prince said she is able to stay focused on the present and remain solely worried about the task at hand. Walker, PRINCE CONTINUES ON 7

MEN’S HOCKEY

Club team commits to culture of success ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Senior Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s club hockey team is learning the power of commitment through second-year head coach Mark Runco.

Just one year ago, the Buckeyes finished in the bottom five of the American Collegiate Hockey Association’s Division II Southeast region standings with a paltry record of 2-17-2. Now, sitting at 116-2, the Buckeyes’ goal of making it to the regional tournament is within reach.

“It’s a lofty goal coming off the heels of a 2-17 season,” Runco said. “But I just felt that we had the talent there, and if we put a little bit of commitment into it, a little more direction and more structure, that we could go that way.”

Runco, who joined the coaching staff in December 2014, is a self-proclaimed competitor who “doesn’t like to lose at anything” and expects the same drive out of his team.

“I don’t want players who approach it as a rec league. I want there to be some serious commitment, because there is a regional tournament to go to, there is a national tournament to go to,” Runco said. “We’re playing against schools that this is their only option for hockey, so we have to approach it that way, too. Our guys battle and they want to win for their school as much as anyone playing a D-1 sport.”

JILLIAN MCVICKER Assistant Sports Director mcvicker.34@osu.edu Senior attackman Cian Dabrowski said she believes the leadership and influence of the senior class will lead the Ohio State women’s lacrosse team to reach new heights this season on the heels of a 13-8 campaign.

Dabrowski enters her senior season coming off a 2015 season for the books. She is the team’s active leader with 69 goals and 25 assists and she scored a team-high four goals when OSU knocked off No. 1 Maryland in the semifinals of the 2015 Big Ten tournament. This broke the Terrapins’ 27-game winning streak and gave the Buckeyes their first win over a top-ranked team in program history.

“That was my favorite moment of my career as a Buckeye,” Dabrowski said. “No one really expected us to beat them, so it made that victory so much sweeter, and we all take a lot of pride in that game.”

“Dabrowski will be a person we will look up to both on and off the field this year.”

Alexis Venechanos Women’s lacrosse coach

Going into the 2016 season, Dabrowski said she wants to continue the success the team has had in the past as different people step up and fill new roles.

“Our team’s goals this year revolve around trying to build off of a great season last year and continuing to grow,” Dabrowski said.

“We proved to be a big threat in our conference, as well as in the country, so continuing with that elite mentality is something we work on everyday.”

Dabrowski said her personal role on the squad has evolved drastically since her freshman year.

“We had some phenomenal players my first few years, so it was my job to learn from them and find a way to complement them,” Dabrowski said. “Now it’s my opportunity to put everything I’ve learned LACROSSE CONTINUES ON 7
