Brussels attacks have global, OSU impact DENISE BLOUGH Senior Lantern reporter blough.24@osu.edu Although the deadly attacks in Brussels on March 22 occurred 4,055 miles away from Ohio State, the community still feels the effects.

The airport and subway bombings in Brussels injured 270 individuals and claimed the lives of 35.

They appear to have been carried out by the same Islamic State network that implemented last year’s terrorist attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people.

One OSU student was in Brussels when tragedy struck: Kate Hartmann, a doctorate student in the College of Medicine’s Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. Hartmann was in the city from March 19 to 23 for a string of meetings with the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer to discuss a research proposal she put in for a Fulbright Scholarship.

She said she was on her way to the same Brussels airport where a bombing had taken place just minutes earlier when she heard news of danger on the radio while riding in a cab. She had the driver turn around and take her to a hotel, where she was able to contact friends and family to let them know that she was all right.

“I left for the airport around 8 a.m., and that’s when the explosion went off,” Hartmann said. “I was very lucky with the timing of things.”

She decided not to make any

During her time in Belgium, Hartmann said she experienced people opening their homes, offering rides and reaching out to one another.

“I would hope that Americans would act the same way I saw the Belgian people acting: with care, concern and a lot of respect for one another,” she said. “This was horrible and tragic and something to be mourned, but it’s also something to move through and be proud of how your community handles that.”

Although it was a frightening experience, she said it won’t make her

wary of further international travel.

“At the end of the day, it’s an active choice that I’m making to not let fear keep me from exploring and knowing the world,” Hartmann said.

Zac Barnett, a fourth-year in political science, also said he’s not hesitant to travel abroad given the current terrorism landscape.

“I think that now more than ever it’s important to travel internationally,” Barnett said. “Right now, many people want to clamp down against this faceless other, and that’s the worst thing we could possibly do. What we should be doing is trying to connect with all people.”

On Sunday, an apparent suicide bomb killed 72 people and wounded 300 at a park in Lahore, Pakistan.

This sentiment was echoed by Hartmann, who said that it’s important for Americans to believe in the goodness of people and to try and not let hatred and anger prevail.

“Lawmakers in the U.S. need to resist the easy temptation that they have to resort to Islamophobia and blame an entire religion for the acts of a very, very small minority,” Barnett said.

He added that most of these individuals don’t deserve to be treated like suspects.

BRUSSELS CONTINUES ON 2

PowHERful, which aims to raise money during Women’s History Month, is one of five campaigns currently listed on the Buckeye Funder website, an online crowdfunding tool Ohio State launched last month.

With only a couple days left to donate, the campaign PowHERful is working to increase the amount of programming Women Student Initiatives can coordinate to impact more women on campus. Donation collection will end on April 1 at midnight.

Buckeye Funder, the website the campaign is using, is based on crowdfunding, the idea of raising money in small amounts from many different people to reach a larger goal.

OSU Dental H.O.M.E. provides oral care to those in need JAY PANANDIKER Engagement Editor panandiker.1@osu.edu When families with little disposable income prioritize their expenses, pediatric dental care often does not make the list. In fact, a report from the American Dental Association said more than half of children aged 12 to 15 suffered from tooth decay. The study said tooth decay is disproportionately common in lower-income populations.

Eighty percent of tooth decay and cavities is concentrated in 25 percent of the youth population, most of whom live in lower-income families. A group of faculty and students in the Ohio State College of Dentistry are working to combat these problems with the Dental

Health Outreach Mobile Experience, a bus outfitted with dental equipment that visits schools in the Columbus area.

The project is led by Dr. Canise Bean, a professor of dentistry, and Rachel Whisler, the program coordinator for the college’s Office of Community Education. Students from a dentistry class staff the bus and provide children with dental treatments. Bean said there has been an emphasis on creating medical homes, or places that provide comprehensive care to patients.

With this project, she hoped to create a home for dentistry, she said.

The clinic began in 2005, when the college was already working with several social service organizations around the city. Bean said at the time, she knew that access to dental care was the largest unmet

pediatric health need in the state of Ohio. She said that this is because of the fact that working parents often do not have the time to take their kids to the dentist during the day. Additionally, dentists might not accept the family’s insurance or allow them to pay a reduced rate for services.

Putting a dentist office on wheels and visiting schools allows the OSU team to go to students directly and always have access to students who are in need of dental health care. Bean said the coach is stateof-the-art with technology, such as electronic medical records, available to the OSU team and TV monitors that allow children to watch educational videos as they undergo dental treatment.

“We felt we could really make an impact,” she said. “When we pull

lows the Dental H.O.M.E. to help more families in need. Bean said her team looks for high-need elementary schools to provide services. In the past, she used the percentage of students on free and reduced lunches to measure the level of need. Now that the program is more established, she works with elementary school nurses to learn if the school is in need.

Whisler said the Dental H.O.M.E. works to provide complete care, but if they are unable to provide the treatment that is needed, they have a referral service where patients can get follow-up care.

When children come on the coach, they receive dental X-rays and are given a treatment plan based on their dental needs. Once these needs are met, the Dental H.O.M.E. returns periodically for check-up exams. While the Dental H.O.M.E. project team works to return to the same kids every six months, children often move between schools, which presents a challenge. Bean said the condition of the children’s teeth can vary a lot.

“It leans more toward multiple cavities, and in many of the older children there is very extensive decay that may require extraction of teeth,” she said. “We’re seeing a lot more disease than we’d like to see, but at the same time we feel we are making a real effort to address the need.”

Bean said one of the biggest strengths of the program is that dental students who work on the bus get exposure to working with

young kids. She said the children who visit the coach often have multiple dental needs, which allows the students to learn in the field.

“It’s a tremendous teaching and learning opportunity for them, and the ultimate goal is that they have enough experiences with children that they feel comfortable working with them when they graduate,” Bean said. “There’s just a shortage of pediatric dentists, and so if the general dentist feels comfortable accepting kids into their practice, that eases the burden for care.”

Bean said she feels that the opportunity to see a different method of dental care delivery from the traditional “four-walled” clinic is valuable. Whisler said some students might learn that pediatric care is not for them, which is also important.

“Sometimes I think that students will take that as a negative, but they don’t realize how much they really learn when they find something they don’t want to do,” Whisler said. “But we have other students who come back and say, ‘I love working with children, I think I’m going to go into pediatric dentistry.’ It can be a life-altering experience to work hands-on in these situations.”

Whisler added that many dentists never have the opportunity to work

in a mobile unit, making the experience something other students can’t say they have had. Bean added that her team learns something new every school year, and Whisler said over the past 10 years of its existence, the program has become more streamlined.

“We say it a lot, but it really is a win-win. It’s a win for our dental students, and it’s a win for the kids in the community, and we are COURTESY OF TNS so thankful we can be visible in the A citizen rally in tribute to the victims of the attacks in community that way,” Bean said.

CROWDFUND FROM 1

Keyes, senior director of Annual Giving. “I think it’s just a really genuine way of getting project ideas out there.”

The official launch date for Buckeye Funder was Feb. 1, and it is managed by the Office of Annual Giving at OSU. To use the tool, project team members have to be a part of the OSU community as a faculty member, staff member or student.

Taylor Cornelius, a fourth-year in public affairs, serves as the project champion for PowHERful, responsible for monitoring the project for Women’s History Month. Cornelius said she feels crowdfunding is the most effective way to connect the Buckeye community and support the women on OSU’s campus.

“With the crowdfunding campaign, people don’t have to give a lot of money,” Cornelius said. “If a lot of people just give $5, it can still raise a lot of money.”

The fundraiser has almost reached its halfway mark of its $10,000 goal, raising $4,950 from 53 donors as of Monday evening, according to Buckeye Funder’s website.

While Cornelius said anything WSI is involved in is inclusive to everyone and encouraged all people of any identity to participate in events through WSI, she stressed the importance of creating a safe space to value and empower women.

“By uplifting Buckeye women, we are uplifting everyone on Ohio State’s campus,” Cornelius said.

Megan Murphy, digital fundraising specialist of the Alumni Association, explained what she feels makes projects most successful in the campaigning process to raise funds.

“The number one ingredient is passion,” Murphy said of the planning and launching of the crowdsourcing projects. “People put so much effort in these projects. It’s amazing.”

Murphy also hosts a strategy session to prepare the project members for the intensive campaigning phases, for drafting a marketing plan and for making sure the project reaches its full potential.

“I think what gets me excited about this platform is that there are so many amazing things here at Ohio State,” Murphy said.

“This tool gives the voice and opportunity to tell the story of the students doing these service projects.”

While project ideas should be compelling, collaborative and philanthropic and mem-

bers should be committed to the project, Murphy said she likes to give all applicants the opportunity to submit an application and be considered for approval.

“We will entertain any ideas,” Murphy said. “The sky’s the limit.”

Campaigning typically lasts for 30 days with the average goal landing between $3,000 and $12,000, according to the Buckeye Funder website.

The site also added that one of the ways crowdfunding works best is if people are personally networking with peers on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, using their own connections and creativity as a way to increase awareness and support for the project.

Murphy said she believes Buckeye Funder will continue to be a success because of the devotion of those working on the projects, which includes both faculty and students.

Donations can be made online at Buckeye Funder’s website or mailed to the Office of Annual Giving at OSU. “Anyone can donate,” Keyes said. “The exciting part is you don’t have to be contributing a huge amount of money to make a difference here, and this tool is bringing that to light. That’s what I really love about it.”

A week of Engineer art contest recognizes likely and importance of creativity unlikely covers LISTEN UP

KEVIN STANKIEWICZ Assistant Sports Editor stankiewicz.16@osu.edu

SAM KAYUHA Lantern reporter kayuha.2@osu.edu A lot of cover songs were released this week by various artists, but the one I wanted to hear the most I couldn’t listen to. Prince covered David Bowie’s “Heroes” at a concert on Friday, but the few fan-shot videos were quickly erased from the web, as the Purple One is wont to do. I guess I’ll have to settle for imagining.

But there are other cover songs out this week that we don’t have to imagine, and they are both as likely and unlikely as possible.

“Touch of Grey” by The War on Drugs There is not a much better band for The War on Drugs to cover than the Grateful Dead, one of the many influencers of its classic rock sound.

The War on Drugs seems to take bits and pieces from old rock bands — reverb-y guitars, harmonicas and singer Adam Granduciel’s Bob Dylan-esque whine. None of those things are “in” among other indie bands, putting The War on Drugs in the strange position of being both totally unique and somewhat of a retread.

But the band still makes emotional and powerful music, much like the great San Francisco jam band.

Members from the National brought together a heap of modern artists for an album of 59 Dead covers, “Day of the Dead.” Along with The War on Drugs, Courtney Barnett, Flaming Lips, Mumford & Sons and many others give their takes on songs like “New Speedway Boogie,” “Dark Star” and “Friend of the Devil.”

While walking to class in mid-February, Claudia McAllister-Peterson noticed a poster tacked to a cluttered corkboard in the hallway of Hitchcock Hall. It was asking for submissions to an art contest for those within Ohio State’s College of Engineering.

McAllister-Peterson, a first-year in engineering, had recently finished an acrylic painting. After seeing the flyer, she decided to submit her newly completed creation.

She was one of roughly 70 people who entered a piece of art into the Department of Engineering Education’s Creative Writing + Arts Contest.

Many of those submissions are set to be on display Wednesday from 3 to 6 p.m. in Scott Laboratory at the contest’s showcase. Winners are slated be announced at the event as well.

“We have this group of really creative people who aren’t traditionally thought of being all that creative, but we know that is actually not true because engineering relies on creativity and innovation,” said Lynn Hall, a senior lecturer within the Department of Engineering Education who is one of the event’s main organizers. “(The showcase) is a way of celebrating that and giving people a place to come look at what everyone else is doing outside of their coursework.”

Submissions, which can come from engineering students, staff and faculty, were entered into three groups: creative writing, visual and music.

Poetry, fiction short stories and nonfiction essays were included under the creative writing category. Visual entries could include 2-D, 3-D and multimedia or digital works.

Musical works, which were added to the contest this year, could be

instrumental or include vocals, as long as they were original compositions.

Some of the available artwork will be displayed at the showcase.

The musical entries will be played through speakers for attendees to hear, Hall said.

Submissions are judged by a 10-person panel from multiple disciplines, ranging from a local writer to affiliates with the Columbus College of Art & Design to a few people within the College of Engineering.

“Taking a break from classes and being able to work art in was my motivation (for painting it).”

Claudia McAllister-Peterson First-year engineering student

The art doesn’t have to relate to engineering, although those are “particularly welcome,” according to the event’s website. McAllister-Peterson’s painting, for instance, does not.

The contest, Hall said, is “imbedded in the notion of ‘STEAM,’ instead of just ‘STEM.’” The added “A,” she noted, represents the importance of arts to form a well-rounded engineering education.

Multiple engineering students who spoke to The Lantern said creating art, whether it is for the contest or not, offers them a chance to escape from the challenging coursework.

“I’ll find myself going to a practice room around 1:00 a.m. just to play (guitar) after doing homework all night,” said Kevin Unkrich, a first-year in pre-biomedical engineering, who submitted an original song, “About You,” to the contest.

“I did it to get away from all the @kevin_stank work in chemistry and things like that,” she said. “Taking a break from classes and being able to work art in was my motivation (for painting it).”

A poetry contest for the engineering community at OSU existed in the early 2000s, Hall said. The last one was held in 2006. A push to resurrect an arts and engineering MORE ON OUR WEBSITE contest eventually surfaced and last year was the first installment of the revamped contest.

Women Aloud! showcases creatives of all kinds CAMERON CARR For The Lantern carr.613@osu.edu On Saturday, female creatives gathered to showcase their crafts for the third annual Women Aloud! performance. The event featured poets, comedians, musicians and dancers at Wild Goose Creative and Rumba Café, just two doors down. Women Aloud!, which takes place at the end of Women’s History Month each year, aims to raise money for Grrrls Rock! Columbus, a summer music and creative-arts camp in the summer.

The evening began in Wild Goose with poetry acts before expanding to Rumba later in the night to allow for multiple performances to take place simultaneously. The artwork-covered walls of Wild Goose enclosed a cozy space with merchandise tables and seats for attendees.

Organizer Su Flatt provided enthusiastic and sincere introductions for each performer with buzz phrases like ‘She will blow your mind’ and ‘You’re about to fall in love.’ The poets covered a variety of topics as Alexis Mitchell-Tremain discussed her family and Kentucky roots, Paula J. Lambert ruminated on birds and Sara Trattner danced between love and sex. As a whole, the poets frequently returned to themes of what it’s like to be a woman, detailing both struggles and triumphs.

Angie Healey performs at Women Aloud! on March 26 at Rumba Café.

Continuing with the night’s diversity, the comedians varied in content and style. Leslie Battle talked about life as a single adult, joking about Tinder, Facebook and living with her 20-something son.

Angie Healey made fun of topics ranging from blow jobs to politicians. Sally Jo, joined onstage by Jane, took a totally different route.

The pair focused on humorous songs driven by ukulele and washboard.

Entering the music portion of the evening, solo acoustic musicians took the Wild Goose Stage while

bands performed at Rumba. A few hours into the event, Wild Goose maintained a sizable and lively audience that happily showed appreciation to each performer. At Rumba, the venue proved appropriate for the smaller but attentive audience.

While not all acts on the Rumba stage were bands, each brought something different to their musical performance. Kate Westfall and Thunder Thighs both manipulated live looping to create full sounds — the former focusing on electronics and the latter blending violin

and electric guitar. The band Scout Ripley took on alternative pop with violin and synthesizers aiding a traditional band. Dominique Larue changed pace with a hip hop performance before genre-bending trio Jemntonic finished off the night.

Back at Wild Goose, acoustic musicians Ashleigh Wilson Vig, Sarah Cooperider and Sierra Mollenkopf strummed songs that highlighted their voices and lyrics. The Ooh-La-Las Burlesque closed the event.

Pranksters go from YouTube to the big screen HANNAH HERNER Assistant Arts&Life Editor herner.12@osu.edu Three pranksters are about to pull their biggest stunt yet: releasing a movie.

Columbus’ own Roman Atwood, along with Cincinnati-based Dennis Roady and Russian transplant Vitaly Zdorovetskiy — professional pranksters who got their start on YouTube — presented their movie, “Natural Born Pranksters” to a sold-out Capitol Theatre on Friday night.

Atwood said they have been pranking since the beginning of their time, a concept that inspired the title of the movie. The trio has a combined total of more than 18 million subscribers and upward of 12 years of experience posting prank videos on YouTube.

Atwood, Roady and Zdorovetskiy met through their shared interests and collaborated on pranks over the past several years. They made an official announcement that the movie was being produced on Atwood’s vlog channel in April of 2014.

Atwood said that even in the time it took to film the movie, the YouTube pranking landscape has changed.

“I think, in the YouTube world, pranks started out so good because there was no level you had to compete with,” he said. “Over time, for you to stand out as a prankster, you had to take it to the next level and then the next level and the next level. It became oversaturated with YouTube pranksters, and now pranks in general have kind of a bad name at this point.”

Even with the reputation following, the trio still wanted to take their videos to the next level.

“The movie is a whole different level of production and creativity.

It’s on a different playing level, there’s not many people who can play on that field,” Atwood said.

Zdorovetskiy added, “The movie has many layers.”

“Natural Born Pranksters” is 90 minutes long and has a series of pranks often requiring elaborate disguises, along with short highlights from older videos on the pranksters’ respective channels.

Many of the segments also use other actors and YouTube personalities apart from the original trio to pull of the prank.

One of the segments — in which Atwood acts as if he is trying to sell dogs to an Asian restaurant for them to serve — has been under scrutiny for racist undertones.

“I think it’s going to stir up even more controversy as well...We give everyone something to talk about.”

Many of the other pranks incited panic in the victim of the prank, with fake threats of incarceration or even death. Other clips are more lighthearted and show the comradery between the trio, with eating contests, shooting each other with confetti cannons and attempting to make art with poop.

Like the pranks they set up, the movie might not necessarily encourage a more positive view of pranking, but it will elicit a reaction from the audience, Roady said.

“I think it’s going to stir up even more controversy as well,” he said.

“We give everyone something to talk about.”

While much of “Natural Born Pranksters” was filmed in Los Angeles, the pranksters agreed that Atwood’s hometown of Columbus is still one of the best places to film

prank videos.

“The temperament of the people are great,” Roady said. “The people in Columbus are probably better than anywhere else … because everyone is a good sport, they’re very supportive, they have the best reactions. A lot of people go to Ohio to make videos, especially videos like we make. Ohio is the best for pranks, I guess. Especially Ohio State.”

Roady and Atwood have pulled pranks in and around campus in the past, but they ran into trouble with the police back in 2014. The pair said they are banned for life from the Thompson Library on OSU’s campus, as chronicled in a 2014 video posted to Atwood’s vlog channel in which they are kicked out by security before being able to perform the prank. They still have a

sense of humor about the incident.

“Will this interview lift our ban from the Ohio State library?”

Roady asked.

Zdorovetskiy joked, “We made a movie to be allowed to go back.”

Even with the occasional conflict, Atwood said Columbus has treated them well.

“We’ve had our run-ins, not that we didn’t provoke it, we’ve had our trials and we’ve always come out on top,” Atwood said. “Columbus for the most part has been really good to us. That’s where we got our start. I’m very thankful to be part of the city.”

Dead’s most famous song, one of the few that the band could condense enough for the radio.

The War on Drugs’ version of the song does not stray too far from the original, but it works so well that it begs the question of why this hadn’t happened sooner. It is soothing music perfect for staring off blankly into the distance.

“Changes” by Charles Bradley Bradley is an old-school soul man, a one-time James Brown impersonator, who, in his late 60s, has become a hit on the festival circuit and released two albums. In other words, he is not exactly a likely candidate to cover a Black Sabbath song.

Still, it is one of the band’s most famous ballads, and Bradley’s worn voice only adds to the heartbroken emotion.

Rising and falling horns and guitars interplay on this slow burner, and it is a tearjerker from the start. Maybe a full album of metal covers should be in store. I, for one, would want to hear his take on “Holy Diver” by Dio.

Even her teammates knew that this was going to be a special season for the player who wears No. 1.

“This is her time,” said senior midfielder Olivia DiCarlantonio.

“Everyone is working for her and she’s our backbone back there. She sees the field. She’s our eyes, she’s our mouth and she’s leading us to victories.”

Frederick and the rest of the Buckeye defense have been doing just that.

After 10 games, the Scarlet and Gray are giving up an average of 8.40 goals per game, while only surrendering 10 goals or more twice.

They have allowed fewer than 10 goals in seven straight games with Frederick in charge on the back end, as she has a 9-1 record with a 7.76 goals against average and a .469 save percentage.

With an arduous schedule ahead, including games against No. 1 Maryland, No. 14 Northwestern, No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 9 Penn State, the Buckeyes can take solace in the fact that they have a strong last line of defense, which, after three seasons, is finally anchored

by Frederick.

“I just wanted to make the most of this year as a team and individually,” Frederick said. “I waited three years for this opportunity, so to be able to go out and be successful with my teammates is really special.”

OSU is set to conclude its threegame road trip with a trek up to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to take on the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday. The Buckeyes will be looking to make their winning streak eight games. Faceoff is scheduled for 3 p.m.

2010 and 2011.

Notable for her long-range shooting touch and quick crossover, Mitchell broke several program records during the season and is on pace to eclipse many more.

Perhaps most noteworthy among the top spots Mitchell claimed in the OSU record books this season is the mark for points in a game (48 versus Michigan State on Feb. 27).

She also broke her own single-season scoring record with 889 points.

The Cincinnati native is fourth in the nation with 26.1 points per game and tied for first with 126 3-pointers, finishing one shy of the NCAA single-season record she set as a freshman.

Ohio State baseball and play up to our capability,” Beals said. “(We have to) make sure we’re ready to answer the bell, even though it’s not a conference game, but it is a road game against an in-state rival.”

A look at Toledo Toledo is amid a tough start to the season, with 22 of its 25 games being played away from home, resulting in a 4-20-1 record. That recipe for disaster could continue, as the Rockets are set to head to Columbus to face the Buckeyes on Wednesday at Bill Davis Stadium, a location where OSU is 6-1 to start the season.

Toledo and OSU have faced off twice already this season, both times during the opening series in the Dodgertown Classic in Vero Beach, Florida. OSU won the first matchup 7-1, while the two teams tied 5-5 in Game 2, as the game was called because of time constraints for return travel.

Freshman outfielder Ross Adolph is one of Toledo’s lone bright spots, as he leads the team with a .294 batting average, but overall Toledo as a team is batting a lowly .196 for the season.

The pitching staff as a unit sports an eye-popping ERA of 5.79, and OSU’s hitters are looking to be able to capitalize on the mismatch.

However, in an attempt to stay grounded, Beals said his team will have to focus on taking games one at a time, as his players have been coached all offseason to not overlook their opponents.

“I think the important thing is that we just stay in the moment and don’t look too far ahead and take care of it one game at a time,” Beals said. “The thing that our guys understand is that these midweek games with two in-state rivals, those are big games. They’re games that these schools look at as marquee games on their schedule playing Ohio State.”

Pitchers’ chance to shine Freshman righty Ryan Feltner (0-1, 6.30 ERA) is scheduled to be on the bump for the Buckeyes against Ohio. He will be trying to improve upon his last outing versus Xavier. The Musketeers chased him after 4.1 innings after he allowed 10 hits and five earned runs.

Beals said Feltner’s inconsistent start to the season can be attributed to his freshman’s adjustments to

the college game.

“I think the thing with freshmen that you always battle is consistency,” Beals said. “(Feltner’s) had really, really good outings, and his last outing he was just up in the zone. I think the thing that we’re talking to Ryan more about than anything is just trusting his stuff and executing his quality pitches.

He’s got good stuff. He’s going to have a great career here at Ohio State.”

Redshirt sophomore pitcher Austin Woodby is lined up to get the spot start for OSU against Toledo. Over his nine appearances this season for the Scarlet and Gray, Woodby has compiled a 3-1 record and a 4.6 ERA, including a 2.5 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

The midweek start for Woodby would be his first of the season, which could lead to an increased role for the Hudson, Ohio, native if Feltner’s struggles continue.

The game against the Bobcats is set to begin at 6 p.m. in Athens on Tuesday evening, while Wednesday’s home tilt against the Rockets is slated for a 6:35 p.m. first pitch.

off against this season: Connecticut’s Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson, A’ja Wilson of South Carolina and Big Ten foe Rachel Banham from Minnesota.

OSU senior guard Ameryst Alston received honorable-mention honors after averaging 18.3 points per contest.

While more awards almost assuredly sit in the future of Mitchell’s time at OSU, a few of those could still come this season. Mitchell is a finalist for the Nancy Lieberman Award for the nation’s top point guard, Dawn Staley Award for the top guard and Wooden Award for the top player in the country.

though, was his biggest contribution to OSU. The Mableton, Georgia, native supplied the Scarlet and Gray with a shot-altering presence in the paint, making it difficult, at times, for opponents to get easy baskets near the rim. He blocked 50 shots this year for an average of 1.5 per game.

Giddens becomes the second member of coach Thad Matta’s 2015 recruiting class bolt from the program, joining Austin Grandstaff, who left the team in December. Grandstaff eventually enrolled at Oklahoma.

With Giddens’ impending departure, there’s a chance that next season the Buckeyes could be without their top two post players from this year.

Redshirt sophomore Trevor Thompson, OSU’s usual starter,

declared for the NBA draft over the weekend, taking advantage of new rules that allow players to test the waters and return as long as they don’t hire an agent.

Although Thompson is widely expected to come back to school, the Buckeyes have two post players committed in their 2016 recruiting class. Both players — Derek Funderburk and Micah Potter — are four-star prospects, according to ESPN. David Bell, a 6-foot-10 redshirt freshman center, will be back in the frontcourt for OSU, as well. He appeared in 23 games for the Buckeyes, averaging 1.1 points and 1.5 rebounds per game. The potentially crowded frontcourt could have been a major reason for Giddens’ departure.

Giddens to exit the OSU program Freshman center requests release to transfer

GIUSTINO BOVENZI Lantern reporter bovenzi.3@osu.edu The Ohio State baseball team is set to play two games over the next two days: at Ohio University on Tuesday before returning home to face Toledo a day later. The Buckeyes are packing their bags with a little extra momentum after a solid start to Big Ten play over the weekend.

On Sunday, the Scarlet and Gray claimed their first conference series win, thanks to a walk-off home run by redshirt junior right fielder Jacob Bosiokovic. The two-run dinger was Bosiokovic’s team-leading sixth of the season, also ranking No. 2 in the conference.

The 2-1 series win over Northwestern moved OSU’s overall record to 14-7-1 on the year. The Buckeyes have won seven of their last eight games dating back to March 12 when they toppled UNLV. Hitting the sweet spot The Buckeyes’ keys to victory over their improved play as of late have been staying out of their own way by playing clean baseball through limiting errors and finding timely hits to win in come-frombehind fashion.

Senior third baseman Nick Sergakis is tied for first in the Big Ten with 37 hits and leads OSU with a .420 batting average. The co-captain of the team on Sunday said OSU has to get a more balanced production up and down the lineup.

“It just seems like we’re ‘live by the long ball, die by the long ball,’” Sergakis said. “That needs to turn around. We need to find ways to manufacture runs without doing it

Daniel Giddens, a freshman on the Ohio State men’s basketball team, asked for his release from the program Monday and is expected to transfer, according to a report from ESPN’s Jeff Borzello.

An OSU spokesman confirmed to The Lantern that Giddens requested to be released.

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

Frederick shining after 3 years of waiting MILES MCQUINN Senior Lantern reporter mcquinn.7@osu.edu Katie Frederick, a senior goaltender for the Ohio State women’s lacrosse team, has been called hard-working, determined and very talented.

Among her other qualities, patience might just be an understatement.

After three seasons in a backup role, at last the net belongs to Frederick, and she has not squandered the opportunity. So far, she has helped guide the Buckeyes to a 9-1 record, currently placing them at No. 15 in the Inside Lacrosse poll.

Frederick’s prolonged wait wasn’t necessarily her fault, though. It was more of a matter of who was ahead of her on the depth chart, which was Tori Descenza, one of the best, if not the best, net-

minders the program has ever seen.

From 2012-2015, Descenza was nothing short of a brick wall. She holds the program career records for saves (569) and wins (43), while also ranking fourth all-time in goals-against average (9.62).

However, Frederick did not hold any hard feelings toward the woman she eventually succeeded. In fact, the relationship between the two is part of the reason why Frederick has been so successful this season.

“Having her the past three years really helped me along the way; she kind of took me under her wing my freshman year,” Frederick said. “I think being able to compete with her every single day at practice has helped me get to where I am today.”

Descenza wasn’t the only mentor Frederick had soon after arriving in Columbus. OSU’s coach, Alexis Venechanos, wasn’t too shabby be-
