‘POWER OF ME’ Women’s Summit seeks to inspire and connect ABBY VESOULIS ERIN GOTTSACKER For The Lantern vesoulis.3@osu.edu gottsacker.2@osu.edu The Office of Student Life Multicultural Center at Ohio State is seeking to inspire up to 200 female students to be “PowHerFul” in both their personal and professional lives during this year’s annual Women’s Summit. Themed “Power of Me,” the goal of this year’s free summit is to connect young OSU women with successful female professionals, teach communication and negotiating skills that can be applied in the workplace and provide an opportunity for women to confidently express themselves in a positive environment, said Makia Kambon, the program coordinator for Women Student Initiatives under the Multicultural Center. “This is the start that will hopefully trickle out into the rest of the world,” Kambon said. “What better place to impact and create change than working with this phenomenal group of women and sending you all out into the world with the necessary skills you need to succeed.” The summit is scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Ohio 4-H Center. The summit will be open to all students who identify as women, Kambon said. Hannah Cedargren, a third-year in marketing and information sys-

KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu A different kind of football is set to come to Ohio Stadium this summer. An international exhibition match scheduled for July 27 at the ’Shoe between two of Europe’s premier clubs, Spain’s Real Madrid and French club Paris Saint-Germain, was officially announced Tuesday morning. The match, which is a part of the International Champions Cup, a soccer series that has been pairing together the world’s top clubs for summer friendlies since 2013, could bring some of the sport’s biggest names to Columbus, headlined by Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid. “We’re very excited to work with The Ohio State University to bring this match here,” said Kwame Bryan, the vice president of stadium

partnerships for Relevant Sports, the New York-based firm that hosts the ICC, at a press conference Tuesday. “We’ve been working for countless months to bring a game here,” he said. Tickets for the match, which is set to be the first international soccer match ever to be played at Ohio Stadium, go on sale to the general public April 5 through Ticketmaster. Exclusive presale tickets are available beginning 10 a.m. on March 29. Fans can sign up for a chance to obtain presale tickets via the ICC’s website, but Bryan told The Lantern the OSU community — students, staff and faculty — will have access to them. Final ticket details are still being ironed out, Bryan said, though he added they will likely start at $35. “We hope there is a price point SOCCER CONTINUES ON 7

Students work with local nonprofits CARLEE FRANK Lantern reporter frank.442@osu.edu Each year, City Year Columbus hosts the Red Jacket Ball, the organization’s largest fundraising event. This year, Kelsie Fields, a thirdyear in international development and Italian, is helping City Year prepare for the event. Fields and her 11 fellow upperclassmen each are paired with one of six local nonprofit organizations, including City Year, through OSU’s Nonprofit Immersion Program. “We are working with City Year Columbus, I Know I Can, American Lung Association and Neighborhood Services Inc., just to name a few,” said Lauren Tyger, the program’s adviser. “They all serve

different areas and purposes within the Columbus community.” Students are paired up with the nonprofits based on their own preferences, as well as organizational need, Tyger said. “We also take into account what the nonprofit needs,” Tyger said, “For example, if they need someone with marketing skills, and we help pair up students in that way, too.” To be accepted into the program, students apply online in the spring. This year’s deadline was March 4. Once selected, students go through an interview process, during which the program advisers get to know the candidates’ strengths and weaknesses. Fields was one of the students selected in the previous spring. She has since completed the first

part of this three-part program: a public affairs course called Intro to Nonprofit Management. She is currently partnering with City Year Columbus and attending biweekly cohort meetings. Fields said that students normally act simply as nonvoting board members, but she desires to work more in-depth with City Year Columbus. “My partner and I try to go a little bit deeper into the organization,” Fields said. “We do a lot of event planning, and we’ve gone to development workshops about grant writing. We have also done graphic-design work for them and attend biweekly meetings.” In the fall, students work to identify a beneficial project for the nonprofit, and in the spring they work on implementing that proj-

ect. Fields said that depending on the size of the nonprofit, students might simply jump on projects already in motion. “One group is making a cookbook for the Broad Street Food Pantry, and we are working on City Year’s annual fundraising gala called the Red Jacket Ball,” Fields said. Fields is working to secure items for the Red Jacket Ball’s silent auction. She said her favorite part about working with City Year Columbus is the people with whom she collaborates. “I get to work with people who are involved and passionate about nonprofit work and who share the same values that I do,” Fields said.

Wexner offers new cholesterol treatment STEPHANIE WISE Lantern reporter wise.1075@osu.edu The Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is now offering a new treatment for patients suffering from extremely high cholesterol. This treatment is especially important for Christian Jacobs, a 24-year-old student at Mount Carmel College of Nursing, who said he suffers from high low-density lipoprotein levels as a result of having a genetic disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia. Jacobs originally had to travel to Cincinnati or Cleveland to receive the necessary treatments for his disorder. “Once a week, I would travel to one of these locations, which usually took one and a half to two hours to get to. Then the treatment takes in total three to four hours, then another one and a half to two (hour) drive back home … It has given me a lot of freedom and has freed up a lot of time to focus on other important things in my life,” Jacobs said. Now, Jacobs receives treatment once every two weeks as opposed to every week. LDL apheresis is a treatment that runs a patient’s blood plasma, containing cholesterol, through a machine that is meant to remove the LDL. The blood is then returned to the body through an IV, according to the University of California, San Diego Health website. LDL, commonly referred to as “bad cho-

lesterol,” is responsible for causing plaque buildup and cardiovascular disease. After one treatment, it is possible that LDL levels can be reduced up to 83 percent and take two weeks to return to its baseline level, according to the same website. Dr. Kavita Sharma, an assistant professor of clinical medicine in the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Wexner Medical Center, spoke about the typical treatment process for high cholesterol. “High cholesterol can often greatly be impacted by adequate diet and exercise. For some people, even with an adequate lifestyle, their cholesterol levels are still high, and in those people we strongly suspect a genetics component; an inherited component. And then they need medication,” she said. The LDL apheresis treatment is meant for specific patients, however, Sharma said. “Those are people who have got severe familial hypercholesterolemia. Familial hypercholesterolemia is one of those examples of a genetic conditions that lead to high cholesterol values,” she said. “Despite lifestyle, these people have very high LDL cholesterol levels. Based on the severity of the disorder somebody has inherited, a treatment like LDL apheresis may be needed.” Jacobs said despite the setbacks that come along with having extremely high cholesterol, he is able to reflect on what good has come out of it and hope for the future now that the proper treatment is so close to him. “I have been treated by doctors all over the

profits have smaller budgets and less staff, it is oftentimes an all-hands-on-deck all-work environment, and she truly enjoys that. Both Fields and Tyger agree that the Nonprofit Immersion Program is a wonderful opportunity to gain experience, and most program alumni, Tyger said, have gone on to work in the nonprofit sector. “Hopefully they would take away skills from the program and the experience they gain with their partnerships so that they can be a really engaged citizen to the community,” Tyger said. Fields said she is excited to move forward with the program and to continue working with City Year Columbus. “I hope that the immersion program gets more attention because it is one of the best things that I’ve done since coming to OSU,” Fields said.

we are. They can give us tools to navigate while still in school and how to continue to use skills as leverage once we graduate.” The summit is just one of the several events the Multicultural Center organized for March, nationally known as Women’s History Month. The celebratory events focus on the progress and achievements women have made, as well as the struggles some women have undergone in trying to achieve their goals. “The cause is so important because we are half of the student body as women, and half of the population as a whole,” Martin said. Kambon said she thinks there are many things that women are not taught growing up that most men are; among those things is negotiation, one of the summit’s foci this year. “I feel most change can happen on the collegiate level because we are sending women out into the workforce,” Kambon said. “Imagine I was able to train 30,000 women on how to negotiate their salaries. Then you have a whole fleet of women going out into the workforce that are able to say that they deserve equal pay.” The seven-hour summit will include complementary breakfast and lunch, a career-oriented fashion show and networking opportunities for the first 200 female undergraduate and graduate students who register. Scholarships will also be awarded to students, courtesy of Fidelity Investments. Registration for the event and information on how to apply for the scholarships can be found at mcc.osu. edu.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Energy privatization attempt lacks transparency Transparent means “honest and open,” according to Merriam-Webster, “not secretive,” “easy to notice or understand” and “able to be seen through.” Up to this date, the Comprehensive Energy Management Project and the facilitators behind it have been anything but. At a series of campus community meetings that I attended regarding the CEMP, numerous objections were raised by a diverse group of people who will be personally affected by this deal. Professors, students, community members and workers at Ohio State are confused and unhappy with the proceeding of the CEMP. At a Jan. 28 Undergraduate Student Government town hall on the CEMP, despite requests from audience members, the panel refused to even name potential partners. They cited that doing so would reveal “trade secrets.” The last time I checked, the name of a corporation is not a “trade secret.” In this same meeting, the panelists shared that current employees will only be offered an interview for their jobs with the potential partners. This is a complete lack of job security. Why can’t the university guarantee their jobs? Facilitators of these meetings continue to stress that the university is writing the terms of the contract, therefore it is ridiculous that the future for these workers and their families is uncertain. The university will not disclose why they refuse to offer these hardworking individuals their current jobs, but you can believe that it is because they are

This is in response to the three meetings held less than one month prior, in which I only heard concern after concern. We simply do not know enough about this deal to move forward. So many questions are left unanswered. How will a private corporation profit from this deal? How will this affect faculty research and teaching budgets or the already sky-high costs for freshmen and sophomores living on campus? How will affinity research affect the academic freedom of worldclass researchers on campus? Why do we think a private corporation can better determine the research agenda than people who have dedicated their lives to knowledge production?

GETTING SOME:

Actors discuss personal experiences, cult movie favorites after Gateway screening

HANNAH HERNER Assistant Arts&Life Editor herner.12@osu.edu If everybody really does want some, they got it. Three of the actors from Paramount’s new movie, “Everybody Wants Some!” came to Columbus on Monday for a screening of the film at the Gateway Film Center and an after-party at the Ugly Tuna Saloona. The film is directed by Richard Linklater, who also directed “Boyhood,” “Bad News Bears” and “Dazed and Confused.” It is set in 1980 at a college in Texas over the weekend before classes start. The character-driven film centers around a house full of college baseball players who are more focused on their sport, partying and girls than their school work. Jake, played by Blake Jenner, is an incoming freshman for the school’s baseball team who moves into the house and learns to navigate his teammates’ personalities and looks to discover what college life is about. Jenner himself graduated a year early from high school, and decided to forgo the college experience in favor of moving out to Los An-

Having worked in the high school setting of ”Glee,” Jenner said that he was always envious of those who had an authentic college experience. “I’d ask people ‘what was college like’ not just for this movie, but even before I’d ask just out of pure curiosity,” he said. Jenner described the experience of filming the movie as “the week-

end before college I never had.” “It kind of did fill a void for me,” he said. Playing one of the leaders of the baseball team wasn’t too much of a stretch for actor Tyler Hoechlin, who played baseball in college. He said there were some parallels to his real-life college experience in the movie. “The chemistry and the comrad-

ery among the guys is what I think was most similar,” he said. Hoechlin added that while he did have just as much fun at the parties as the characters did in the movie, they weren’t as crazy. “There is a little bit more of a sense of consequences for your actions nowadays, especially with camera phones and social media. And just the general sense of the

police being somewhere nearby,” Hoechlin said with a laugh. Will Brittain plays Billy Autrey, who shares a room with Jenner’s character. Having taken on roles in more serious movies such as “The Teacher” and the television show “Lila & Eve” in the past, “Everybody Wants Some!” is the first comedy Brittain has acted in. While new to the comedy scene, he said he did have experience to draw from for his character, a tobacco-spitting, cowboy-boot-wearing, true southern boy with a thick accent. “I grew up in a small town in Texas and I’ve been exposed to a lot of country characters like that, so it just kind of came out naturally when I read the script,” Brittain said. “It seemed to work, all the guys got tickled by it.” In the film, Jenner’s character, Jake, struggles with finding his place after going from being one of the best players on his high school team to being a little fish in a big pond on his college baseball team. Jenner said his move to Los Angeles after high school parallels his character’s move to college in the movie. “Moving out to LA to act, you EVERYBODY CONTINUES ON 6

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Local producer finds solace in beat making ZAK KOLESAR Lantern reporter kolesar.25@osu.edu It was early March, and Toese Satele Brewer had yet to settle into his new double-room apartment. His bed lay on the floor disassembled, leaving the room feeling hollow. Right in the center of his dresser, however, was a makeshift recording studio, consisting of a MacBook, MIDI controller and mixer. It was also one of the few things Brewer, who goes by the stage name of Satele (pronounced sah-tell-lay) bothered to completely construct in his new abode. That’s because the music producer finds solace and an escape in constructing beats. Growing up, the Columbus producer struggled to find an identity for himself. He mentioned that despite his tall, athletic frame, he did not find enjoyment in sports like his siblings did. “This is the only thing that I can actually figure out for myself, and it works for me,” Brewer said. “I don’t have to shoot free throws or anything to make sure that it’s myself.” In 2010, Brewer’s senior year of high school, he discovered a way of expressing himself in the form of a previously unknown talent: a distinct ear for mixing beats.

“What made me sign is that they had a bigger reach than I had,” Brewer said. “It was moreso they were trying to really help me push my brand and push my sound.” O Sharp initially pointed out to Brewer that his sound, an even mix of modest electronic sounds and classic boom-bap hip-hop beats, needed to extend to the foundation of old-school rap beats, which is a staple of the Polar Entertainment brand. This included sampling jazz-rap trailblazers such as A Tribe Called Quest. O Sharp saw that Brewer’s newage electronic beats — heavy on strings and keyboard — could bridge the gap between modern rap and the roots of the genre. “I want to be able to break any barriers, create my own lane and help other producers or other artists or other creatives do things with the platform I’m creating for myself,” Brewer said. Polar Entertainment gave him a boost to do so, providing Brewer with a steady flow of live performances, with a gig at least once every month since October. “BreakOut,” the intro track to Satele’s third project, “iLife²,” is a beat that Brewer said encapsulates what he defines as “his sound.” The high-pitched hits of staccato keys combined with evocative, yet modern, hiccup noises captures how Brewer is attempting to fuse old SATELE CONTINUES ON 6

The OSU Club Dance Team prepares for Daytona MITCH HOOPER Lantern reporter hooper.102@osu.edu Following placing first at the Arnold Classic in the Cheerleading and Dance competition, the Ohio State University Club Dance Team is ready to shine in the Sunshine State. The OSU Club Dance Team — founded by president Julie Domicone, a third-year in operations management — is a group of 15 girls that competes on both regional and national levels in dance competitions. After it competed at the Arnold Classic and earned a first place finish at Cheerleaders of America Midwest Invitationals, the team is in the midst of its preparation as the only club level team in the National Cheer and Dance competition in Daytona Beach, Florida, on April 6. Domicone says she has been dancing for many years now, and after missing the cut for the OSU Dance Team as a freshman, she noticed there wasn’t a club version available on campus.

That’s when she found Gaydos, a fourth-year in sports industry to help with organizational responsibilities in 2014. Domicone and Gaydos agreed the team’s experience in the previous two events were important, as it was the first time some members

on the team had competed. Although winning was a high priority for the team, Gaydos and Domicone were happy for the feedback from the judges. “We can practice as much as we want in a studio, but we won’t actually get the experience of performing in front of hundreds of people,” Gaydos said. “I can watch a number so many times and not see something someone else might, so

it’s a good way to get another set of eyes.” Amanda Coleman, a second-year in visual communications and a member of the team, also felt the experience from performing in front of a large audience has been important for some of the more inexperienced dancers. “Some of the girls haven’t done competitions,” Coleman said. “It’s good for us to get some experience

Satele will be performing at The Summit for the third installment of The Wicked + Divine, an event that mixes live producer sets with performances from singers, bands and groups. The concert will take place on April 23, with doors opening at 10 p.m. and free admission for ages 18 and up.

definitely get that feeling,” he said. “You go out there with the positivity and you’re like, ‘Yeah it’s going to work out, they’re handing out pilots, I’m going to be a stud,’ but then you’re working at a Johnny Rockets or something like, ‘Alright we’ll be patient.’” Brittain added that he related to Blake’s character and was a bit intimidated by the cast at first. “I felt like that when I got casted in the movie, to a degree because I’m looking around like ‘Wow, everyone is so talented,’” Brittain said. But the actors agreed that the movie played well to each of the cast members’ strengths, making it a strong ensemble. “Together we’re kind of like the planeteers in ‘Captain Planet (and the Planeteers)’ and (director Richard Linklater) was Captain Planet. We kind of just saved the world with this movie,” Jenner said jokingly of the cast. The movie is marketed as “the spiritual sequel to ‘Dazed and Confused,’” often described as a cult movie. Time will tell if “Everybody Wants Some!” achieves cult status, but the actors think it has some of the necessary elements. “The fans of the movie are what makes it a cult movie, and just how dedicated those fans are to that movie and the characters

on the floor and competing in front of people because this is what it’s like at nationals in Daytona.” The team does mostly upbeat jazz routines, all choreographed by Gaydos, with a new two-minute routine for each competition. The team has practice two to three nights a week, where they have been rehearsing a new routine created in January and smoothing out any imperfections. From coaching and choreographing an entire performance, Gaydos admits it can be challenging. “It is hard, I spent my entire winter break in a studio trying to figure (the choreography) out,” Gaydos said. “It was even hard choosing the song, you want the best song you can envision art and dance too.” Along with the Arnold Classic and the COA Midwest Invitational, the group has also performed at BuckeyeThon and in the Homecoming Parade. No matter the size of the venue, when people reach out and ask them to perform at their event, they choose a simple response: “That’s just what we do,” Gaydos said.

within it,” Brittain said. “I think this movie has so many cool, fun characters in it that you’re just going to want to stick with them and watch them years from now, like going back to visit an old friend.” Jenner said that what makes a cult movie is its ability to appeal to a large audience. “I think it’s the timeless aspect of it,” he said. “An 18-year-old (could watch the movie) and they’ll be having a good time watching it, or my dad who is the most stoic guy in the world … doesn’t smile for crap and he lights up when he’s watching the movie.” Hoechlin added that the connection between the audience is also important to keeping a movie alive for years to come. “There’s this connective thing where you can run into someone at any point and if you’ve both seen the movie, there are so many different things and people you can talk about,” Hoechlin said. Jenner added with a laugh, “And Tyler in short jean shorts is what will help this movie live on for years and years.” “Everybody Wants Some!” is rated R and opens in theaters nationwide on April 1.

Fans can sign up for a chance to obtain presale tickets via the ICC’s website, but Bryan told The Lantern the OSU community — students, staff and faculty — will have access to them. Final ticket details are still being ironed out, Bryan said, though he added they will likely start at $35. “We hope there is a price point for everyone,” he said. The match is another extension of the university’s push in recent years to bring events to the ’Shoe beyond football games, OSU Vice President and Athletic Director Gene Smith said. To date, that has primarily meant concerts, but Smith said the soccer match allows the school — and Columbus — to showcase itself to the global audience that the sport has. “We feel very comfortable that that particular day, July 27, we’ll have an opportunity to showcase two of the greatest, most valuable teams in this world right here in the ’Shoe,” he said. Both Columbus Crew SC President Andy Loughnane and OSU men’s soccer coach John Bluem praised the match’s capacity to highlight Columbus’ passion for the world’s most popular sport. Loughnane said it is a “landmark match for the city of Columbus.” It will be the first professional soccer match in the ’Shoe since Sept. 30, 1998, when Crew SC played its final game there before moving to its own stadium for the 1999 season. A mere 10,966 fans were on hand for it. The number of fans anticipated for the July exhibition could dwarf that figure. Although Smith and Bryan were hesitant to make an attendance projection, both said they expect it to be more than 100,000. The stadium’s attendance record is 108,975, which was set on Nov. 21 when the Buckeyes played Michigan State. The largest crowd at a soccer game in America was also an ICC match. In that game, 109,318 fans packed in the University of Michigan’s stadium to watch Manchester United take on Real Madrid on Aug. 2, 2014. Smith laughed after being asked if the university was out to top its archrival. “We don’t look at it that way,” he said. “We’re not competing with anyone. Our focus is to make sure that these professionals — and these are the best of the best — have a quality experience. So we want make sure we have a packed house for them, regardless of where our number falls relative to anyone else in the world.” Real Madrid, according to Forbes, is the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Its roster is littered with elite talent, headlined by Ronaldo and James Rodriguez. The Royal Whites have captured the La Liga title 32 times, while also winning 10 European Cup competitions — the most of any club. PSG has won its league title each of the past three seasons and is currently on pace to take the crown again this year. The club is anchored by Thiago Silva and Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, though the latter is rumored to be exploring transfer options. In addition to the match at Ohio Stadium, there are currently seven other ICC matches set to take place in the United States this summer. But for one day, the soccer world will turn its attention to Ohio’s capital city. “Soccer is the world’s sport ... so on July 27, all eyes, literally around the world, will be tuned in to Columbus,” Loughnane said. “No matter what time a day it is in Europe, or elsewhere throughout the world, Columbus will be the focus.”

into our dugout,” Schoenly said. Junior Lena Springer also has performed well, ranking in the top 10 with a 2.17 ERA, while surrendering only four extra-base hits to opponents. More top honors Building off senior Cammi Prantl’s Big Ten and Louisville Slugger honors last month, two more Buckeyes earned conference awards last week. Senior first baseman Erika Leonard earned Big Ten Player of the Week, while second baseman Emily Clark was named co-Freshman of the Week. Leonard and Clark recorded strong weekends in Arizona and California, as both players posted a batting average north of .350. Leonard hit two home runs, while Clark recorded her first-career four-bagger against Fresno State. In late February, Leonard was announced as one of 30 candidates for the Senior CLASS Award, which will be given to one NCAA Division I softball player in May. The award, which focuses on community, classroom, character and competition, encourages players to use their platforms to act as leaders in their community, according to its website. “This team is lucky to have such strong seniors this season,” Schoenly said, referring to Leonard, Prantl and shortstop Maddy McIntyre. “They’re leaders and role models, and I never want them to leave.” Eight other Big Ten players were selected as candidates. Leonard’s nomination marks the first time an OSU player has been selected since the award’s inception in 2007. Coming up After their series with Maryland, the Buckeyes are set to head to Wisconsin for another three-game matchup spanning from April 1 to 3. First pitch is set for 5 p.m. on April 1.

questions to be answered before the start of the 2016 season. New players, new pressure With new faces being pushed into bigger roles, Meyer also spoke to the pressures that will be on those players expected to step up. “We try to put as much pressure on the players now because it’s not fair to put pressure on them in October,” Meyer said. However, he added that the coaching staff can prepare a player as best as it can, but sometimes the player simply cannot handle it once things step up. “There are a lot of great athletes who don’t respond to stress very well,” Meyer said. With only six returning starters, a lot of inexperienced guys will be turned to in an effort to make a name for themselves in the spring. Those names range from true-freshman early enrollees to players who have been on the team for several years, biding their time to step into the spotlight. Confidence at corner Despite losing star cornerback Eli Apple to the NFL draft, Meyer expressed confidence in his defensive backfield in part be-

cause of cornerbacks Gareon Conley, Marshon Lattimore and Denzel Ward. Lattimore, a redshirt sophomore, struggled with a hamstring injury his first two years with the team. Meyer spoke highly of the Cleveland native. “Marshon has to stay healthy, he’s so talented,” Meyer said. Conley is one of the few returning starters for the team, starting all 13 games in 2015 as the No. 2 corner. The redshirt junior knows better than anyone about the importance of putting on a show in preseason practice sessions, as his performances this time a year ago helped cement his status as a starter for a defending national-champion team. Ward, who played in 11 games last season, made seven tackles, including two in the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame. The true sophomore is primed to compete with Lattimore for the starting cornerback spot opposite Conley. Meyer and the Buckeyes will continue their build-up toward OSU’s annual spring game, which is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 p.m. on April 16 at Ohio Stadium.

er. In the second round against Arizona State, Russell brought in 12 points and blocked two shots. She currently ranks seventh in program history for blocks in a season with 66. Junior guard Jordan Reynolds contributed 12 points as well in the Arizona State contest, and is the playmaker for the Tennessee offense. With Reynolds scoring more as of late, the floor could open up for DeShields to do more work, also taking pressure off her shoulders. Elite Eight looms After the Friday contest, the winner of OSU vs. Tennessee will advance to take on the victor between No. 1 seed South Carolina and No. 4 seed Syracuse on Sunday.

The future of Ohio State Women’s basketball awaits showdown with Tennessee football 3 takeaways from Urban NATHAN RUBINSTEIN Lantern reporter rubinstein.24@osu.edu

The top teams in the nation continue to dwindle, and now only 16 squads remain in the field for the 2016 NCAA women’s basketball tournament. One of the last units standing, No. 3 seed Ohio State, is looking to take control in its matchup with the No. 7 seed Tennessee Volunteers. The Buckeyes and Lady Vols are set to tip off Friday at 9:30 p.m. in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to battle for a spot in the Elite Eight. The last time these two teams met was in the 2011 NCAA tournament, also in the Sweet 16, giving Friday’s meeting a bit of déjà vu. The Lady Vols came out on top in that one 85-75, but both programs are in radically different positions now than they were in 2011. For starters, legendary coach Pat Summitt was still at the helm of Tennessee in her 37th season as the head coach. Summitt and the Lady Vols claimed a SEC tournament crown after going undefeated in their conference schedule. The Buckeyes were also directed by a different coach in 2011: Jim Foster, who was in his 10th season as their head coach. Foster and the Buckeyes went into the NCAA tournament winning their third consecutive Big Ten tournament championship, tying a conference record. Tennessee also had a slew of talent, with All-American Shekinna Stricklen and the 17th overall pick of the 2011 WNBA draft, Angie Bjorklund, leading the way. These two players acted as a dynamic duo and were too much for OSU to han-

Nowadays, the Buckeyes and Lady Vols are still known as two of the top women’s basketball programs in the nation, but they lack the hardware to establish their names in the record books. Scorer showcase This season, Tennessee and OSU have arguably two of the top individual players in the country in Tennessee redshirt sophomore guard Diamond DeShields and OSU sophomore guard Kelsey Mitchell. The two high-profile talents have oftentimes showcased their abilities to tear up defenses singlehandedly, but both players are aware that a spectacular individual performance cannot defeat

an all-around team effort. The 6-foot-1 DeShields, who transferred from North Carolina prior to becoming a Lady Vol, has averaged 14.2 points per game this season and continues to be the star of the Tennessee offense. She is coming off a strong performance in the second round in which she scored 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting in the Lady Vols’ upset over second-seeded Arizona State. Mitchell, on the other hand, is entering Friday’s contest coming off a 45-point outburst against West Virginia on Sunday, an OSU tournament record. In her sophomore campaign, Mitchell is averaging 26.3 points per game and shooting 40.3 per-

cent from 3-point land. With her backcourt partner, senior Ameryst Alston, dealing with wrist issues that limit her time on the floor, Mitchell will have to take more control than usual. But that is not a task that is out of reach for the Cincinnati native. Enhancing their arsenal Although the Lady Vols will turn to DeShields as their first scoring option, they have improved as a team and have expanded their offensive arsenal. Redshirt sophomore center Mercedes Russell is another key performer for the Lady Vols, standing at 6-foot-6 and contributing as a powerful and efficient post playBASKETBALL CONTINUES ON 7

Home opener against Maryland on deck ANGELIA HEIMSOTH Lantern reporter heimsoth.1@osu.edu The Ohio State softball team is finally headed home. With 22 games already in the books in 2016, OSU (15-7) has the chance to make a statement on its own field. The Buckeyes, who are coming off a 4-1 trip to San Diego, which included a 9-6 win over then-No. 22 Fresno State, are set to face Maryland (7-20) in their home opener Friday at 6 p.m. at Buckeye Field. The three-game series stretches from Friday to Sunday and marks the beginning of conference play. Up to this point, OSU has seen action in five tournaments since February. “We won, but we aren’t even at our best yet,” said OSU coach Kelly Kovach Schoenly. “Everyone

has been like, ‘Wow, imagine what we will be like when we put it all together,’ which is great.” Maryland at a glance The Terrapins have not had a winning season since 2013, and this season has been more of the same. Maryland failed to tally a winning weekend at any of the six tournaments it attended, including an 0-3 showing at its own invitational last week. Maryland checks in at last place in the Big Ten for both win percentage and team pitching. The Terrapin pitching staff, which is led by redshirt junior Madison Martin, currently owns a 6.08 ERA while allowing 238 hits. Starter Brenna Nation has only 19 strikeouts in her 19 appearances, although the redshirt junior’s slow start might just be an adjustment to a larger role than in her two previous seasons. Sophomore Skylynne Ellazar has

13 RBIs and a .388 batting average, while senior infielder Lindsey Schmeiser leads the team with four home runs, despite having only 11 total hits so far. The Terrapins’ opponents are outhitting them .327 to .281 and

have nearly 60 more RBIs than the younger Maryland squad. The team has only two seniors, but its key advantage is the versatility of its players. Eight of the 20 Terrapins play multiple positions, enabling the team to rotate and increase its endurance. Strength from the mound Unlike the Terrapins, the Buckeyes’ greatest asset is their cohesive pitching staff. OSU still boasts the lowest ERA (2.30) in the conference, and its five pitchers continue to fill both starting and relieving roles. Junior Shelby Hursh continues to dominate from the mound with 69 strikeouts, only 23 behind her total in 2015. The right-hander retains the lowest ERA in the conference. “Shelby’s ability to step in and execute her pitches immediately allows us to take the momentum back SOFTBALL CONTINUES ON 7

ALEXA MAVROGIANIS Senior Lantern reporter mavrogianis.1@osu.edu It might have lost an unprecedented amount of talent to the NFL draft, but the Ohio State football team has begun to look toward the future as it resumed spring practice this week after taking some time off for spring break. Much of the conversation with OSU coach Urban Meyer on Tuesday was a reflection on the future of the program as it looks to withstand the departure of 16 starting offensive and defensive starters to graduation or early entry into the draft. Here are three key takeaways from the coach’s press conference as the Buckeyes continue to work toward the April 16 spring game. Stability on offense While the Buckeyes might be missing big names like Braxton Miller, running back Ezekiel Elliott and wide receiver Michael Thomas, there is still some returning talent, anchored by redshirt junior quarterback J.T. Barrett and redshirt senior center Pat Elflein. Meyer emphasized the importance of their return, saying a team incorporating new players at those positions has no shot. “The fact that those two guys are back, we have a shot,” he said. “And I think we have a decent chance to be good on offense. And it’s mostly due to those two guys coming back.” Meyer also spoke highly of Barrett’s leadership, saying that he’s one of the best leaders the team has ever had. Joining Barrett and Elflein as the only other returning starter on offense is redshirt junior left guard Billy Price. Some players, such as redshirt junior tight end Marcus Baugh, got their feet wet as backups last season and are set to step in as starters. But other groups, such as wide receiver and the right side of the offensive line, have a lot of FOOTBALL CONTINUES ON 7
