The inner workings of graduate school rankings LILY MASLIA Outreach & Engagement Editor maslia.2@osu.edu Teacher-student ratio, job placement after graduation and course offerings are just a few of the factors that play a part in ranking graduate schools. Graduate school rankings provide a guide for students to compare programs across the country and examine the factors that contribute to a school or program’s overall score. The U.S. News & World Report education rankings annually rank high schools, colleges and grad-

uate schools in a variety of categories. The U.S. News Best Grad Schools methodologies reflect “the current higher education landscape and what outside experts, such as deans, admissions experts, etc., view as indicators of academic quality,” Robert Morse, chief data strategist for U.S. News, said in an email. “U.S. News recommends that students research course offerings and weigh schools’ intangible attributes, while using the information on the U.S. News website to compare concrete factors, such as student-faculty ratio and job placement success upon gradua-

tion,” Morse said. Each year, U.S. News ranks programs in business, education, engineering, law, medicine and nursing, including specialties in each area, according to its website. The rankings are based on expert opinions about each program and statistical evidence on the quality of faculty, research and students. The methodologies and data that go into creating college rankings differ for varying graduate degrees, Morse said. “In business, U.S. News uses starting salaries and new MBAs’ ability to find jobs upon gradua-

tion or three months later,” Morse said. “In law, U.S. News looks at state bar exam passage rates and employment rates.” Poets and Quants, a news resource for business education, ranks online and in-person Master of Business Administration programs, as well as entrepreneurship programs, by surveying participating programs and recent graduates to obtain their data for their ranking, Nathan Allen, an author for Poets and Quants, said. “The survey is about 40 questions, and they range from anything that is asking about the

Not so #New2OSU Why former undergraduate students chose Ohio State for graduate school SAM RAUDINS Campus Editor raudins.3@osu.edu For some students looking to attend graduate school after receiving their undergraduate degree from Ohio State, the Buckeye doesn’t fall far from the tree. Twenty percent of Ohio State admitted class of 2018 graduate students have bachelor’s degrees from the university, Alicia Berton, vice provost for graduate studies and dean of the graduate school, said. Some graduate students receive financial assistance, which may create an incentive to continue their education at the university, she said. Bertone said the university now offers 12 fellowships only for Ohio State students through the graduate school’s pilot program called “OSU Direct,” as well as general enrichment fellowships, which recruit students to represent diversity in the different programs. “We are putting half a million dollars towards new fellowships that are specific for inclusive excellence of students, and we’re identifying these by reaching out to programs that have already

because he was offered a fully funded graduate assistantship. “I was fully funded to continue my master’s here at Ohio State, and most social work programs don’t offer full funding for their master’s students,” Haynes said.

‘Fishing’ for sponsorships Some employers will pay for graduate business degrees

including the Master of Business Administration for working professionals, Master of Human Resource Management and specialized Master of Business and Analytics.

“I am aware that Fisher has two master programs that are funded by employers — one is with Chase, and one is by Honda — and they fund to have those students come and get their master’s degree.” ALICIA BERTONE Dean of Ohio State graduate school

Fisher College of Business has many company sponsored students attending graduate programs at Ohio State.

CORI WADE Assistant Photo Editor wade.493@osu.edu The hook, line and sinker for some Ohio State business students is the lure of employers sponsor-

ing their graduate degrees. Over the past three years, 36 percent of all graduate students enrolled in any program at the Fisher College of Business have been sponsored in some form by their employer, according to data

from the college obtained by The Lantern. “Fisher is at the high end because that’s what they do. They’re the business school, working with business partners on a regular basis, so they are probably at the

forefront for that,” Alicia Bertone, dean of Ohio State graduate school, said. According to the data, 82 percent of company-sponsored students are enrolled in one of Fisher’s part-time or hybrid programs,

“I never even really realized it because of how easy that transition was, but Ohio State really does have really top-rated graduate programs.” STEPHEN POST President of the Council of Graduate Students

scope of the institution, the resources it provides, how the institution’s missions and strategic plan align with his career goals and faculty in the departments he is interested in studying. In terms of getting current undergraduate students to consider Ohio State as a graduate school option, Bertone said some Honors and Scholars programs in the graduate schools identify students who would be a good fit for graduate school early on. “[The programs] essentially let them know that it’s a pipeline for them to get into their graduate program,” Bertone said. Bertone said she recommends that any current undergraduate students at the university considering graduate school should reach out to Graduate and Professional School Fairs and faculty from different programs of interest for more information. Stephen Post, president of the Council of Graduate Students and graduate student in applied clini-

cal and preclinical research, said his transition to graduate school was easy due to his previous undergraduate experience. “It is really part of building on your community and your network you already had built here while you were in undergrad,” Post said. Post said that in the process of researching Ohio State graduate school, there is something he did not look into: rankings. “I never even really realized it because of how easy that transition was, but Ohio State really does have really top-rated graduate programs,” Post said.

to understand that degree of separation between your time here as an undergrad and your time here as a graduate student, and I think if you ultimately set those boundaries and kind of separate yourself from those two different experiences, then it could pan out very well,” Haynes said.

Of the part-time and hybrid programs, the MBA for working professionals accounts for the highest percentage of graduate students — at 69 percent — who have been sponsored in some way by their employers over the past three years. In comparison, the next highest sponsored degree is the Master of Accounting, for which 16 percent

of graduate students were sponsored over the past three years. Fisher partners with companies to help encourage employers to fund students, so they can go back to school and get their master’s degree, Bertone said. “I am aware that Fisher has two master programs that are funded by employers — one is with Chase, and one is by Honda — and they fund to have those students come and get their master’s degree,” Bertone said.

“These employers are willing to invest in their staff and understand the great value that ongoing, higher education can provide in retaining and promoting employees.” PAUL NORTH Executive director of graduate programs office at Fisher

Paul North, executive director of the graduate programs office at Fisher, said in an email that employers have different views on how much time and money should be invested in their employees going back to school for their master’s degrees. “Some employers may have a training or tuition benefit that

will pay for part of a program and allow their employees to go to school part time or after hours, while others may allow a leave of absence to attend a full-time program,” North said. “These employers are willing to invest in their staff and understand the great value that ongoing, higher education can provide in retaining and promoting employees.” Data from Fisher’s Executive Education Programs Office shows that of the 26 students who have been admitted or have interviews scheduled for the Master of Business Operational Excellence, 58 percent reported they were receiving full employer funding. Of the 26 students, four reported they will not be receiving any employer funding at all. Within the Executive MBA degree program, 12 of the incoming students reported financial information to Fisher, according to data from the executive office. Of the 12 students, half reported receiving full employer funding, while two reported no funding at all. For students who do not receive employer funding, Bertone said there are many ways students can have graduate school paid for through Ohio State. “A large number of our graduate students are funded through GRA-ships, what we call our graduate appointments, fellowships, through some of our stipend match programs, and right now we have 4,044 doctoral students who are on one of those forms of support,” Bertone said.

MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

LYDIA WEYRICH Lantern reporter weyrich.4@osu.edu Graduate school comes at a cost, but that cost changes across the Big Ten. The Lantern compiled cost comparisons for programs ranging from a Master of Business Administration to law degrees at Ohio State, University of Michigan, Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison — universities of comparable size.

n MBA is offered at all four universities, but the price varies significantly across institutions. The MBA at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business costs $31,139 in tuition and fees per academic year for Ohio residents and $53,643 for out-of-state residents. In comparison, the MBA at the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business costs $66,048 in tuition per academic year for

Michigan residents and $71,048 for out-of-state residents. University of Michigan offers its MBA for nearly double the amount of Michigan State University’s resident tuition, which is the second-most expensive. Michigan State University’s MBA at the Broad College of Business costs $33,098 in tuition per academic year for Michigan residents and $52,458 for out-ofstate residents. The MBA at the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Wisconsin School of Business costs $21,166 in tuition per academic year for Wisconsin residents and $42,704 for out-of-state residents.

MASTER OF A PUBLIC HEALTH

Master of Public Health degree can be obtained for less than $7,000 a year for state residents at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but out-ofstate and in-state students are treated the same at Michigan State in terms of cost. An MPH at Ohio State’s College of Public Health costs $13,257 in tuition and fees per academic year for Ohio residents and $35,761 for out-of-state residents. Stephen Post, president of the Council of Graduate Students at Ohio State, completed his undergraduate public policy and management degree at Ohio State and is now getting his master’s in applied clinical and preclinical research at Ohio State. Post said he chose to stay at Ohio State because of the consistency in in-state tuition.

“I really chose OSU because it was where I was at,” Post said. “I knew that the cost of in-state would be relatively similar to what it was in undergrad.” An MPH at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health costs $14,861 in tuition per academic year for Michigan residents and $24,548 for outof-state residents. Michigan State University’s MPH at its Division of Public Health/College of Human Medicine costs $11,880 in tuition per academic year for both Michigan and out-of-state residents.

Pints and pixels: Video game art comes to BrewDog TAYLOR SMITH Lantern reporter smith.11164@osu.edu Video games will get the gallery treatment on BrewDog Short North’s walls this weekend. BrewDog will host an exhibition of video game art Saturday during October’s Short North Gallery Hop, with a portion of the night’s beer sales going to a good cause. The exhibition will be presented by Video Game Art Gallery, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that fosters appreciation for video games and their cultural importance through exhibitions, educational programs and a scholarly publication called VGA Reader, according to the organization’s website. “Our mission is to support artists who create video games,” Chaz Evans, VGA Gallery co-founder and director of exhibitions and programs, said. The exhibition at BrewDog will display a fine art print collection, comprised of a combination of concept art and screenshots from video games that VGA Gallery has collected since 2013, Evans said.

COURTESY OF TNS

BrewDog Short North will host an exhibition of video game art from VGA Gallery Oct. 5.

VGA Gallery’s goal is to “show the audience something that could have been missed while playing the games,” Evans said. He added that VGA Gallery reaches out to video game artists that provide interesting visual displays and deserve attention. The exhibition will “try to communicate and understand our

lives and our everyday worlds,” Evans said. Evans said the exhibition has previously traveled to Kentucky and the Twin Cities region of Minnesota. Evans, a gamer who began playing at a young age, said video games helped him find a different

view of the world. “I wasn’t satisfied with finishing them or winning them. Competition was interesting but I realized there was something else going on,” Evans said. “Different kinds of ideas, particular messages, even frameworks for how to view the world were coming out of the products.”

Michael Reed, managing editor of the VGA Gallery Reader, said video game art differs from other fine art forms such as paintings because the audience is able to interact with the final product in a more direct way. “You’re actually holding a controller, controlling the action, controlling the narrative,” Reed said. According to its Facebook page, BrewDog will donate $1 for every draft beer sold between 5 and 7 p.m. Saturday to VGA Gallery and Extra Life, a charity based in Utah that works to support Children’s Miracle Network hospitals through art exhibitions and gaming marathons. Evans said VGA Gallery also supports artists by allowing art displayed at the exhibition to be sold. VGA Gallery’s exhibition will be hosted from 5 to 11:30 p.m. Saturday at BrewDog Short North on North High Street. VGA Gallery is open to the public.

Amorous archives: 150 years of love at Ohio State AUBREY MAZEY Lantern reporter mazey.44@osu.edu JACK LONG Special Projects Director long.1684@osu.edu Ohio State love stories jump from page to stage through a project from the Ohio State dance and theater departments. Graduate students from the dance and theater departments are creating a stage production this year to celebrate Ohio State’s 150th anniversary. It will incorporate traditional and abstract dancing, singing and acting. Nadine George-Graves, professor of dance and theater and director of the production, said she and the students are tasked with writing their own script and conducting research on the university’s history. “One of the first assignments was to go to the archives,” George-Graves said. “We were thinking about how to find a topic narrow enough that it’s interesting, but allows us access to 150 years.” George-Graves said they settled on the idea of love stories. “There are stories of pathos, of unrequited love, stories of interracial love and stories of controversy,” she said. George-Graves said the production will bring together visual projection, sound design and

physical movement to tell the stories. Twenty graduate students and production technicians are enrolled in a yearlong class taught by George-Graves. She asked each student to find an Ohio State love story, then create and perform a piece that expresses the lovers’ tale. “They can either perform it verbatim, gesture for gesture,” George-Graves said, or interpret the story, “abstracting it into something that might not look anything like the original.” Students will work together to build a complete script, GeorgeGraves said. It will be ready for staging in January. “It’s definitely daunting because it could go in so many directions,” Jess Hughes, a graduate student in theater and production creator, said. “Right now, I’m trying to allow the piece to reveal itself, instead of saying, ‘This is what it is.’” George-Graves said the piece will be “unapologetically lovely” and examine the university’s role as a place for lovers to meet. “I want folks to come and not only think about the 150 years of Ohio State’s history but also think about the deeper missions of the university,” George-Graves said. Graduate and undergraduate students will perform the anniversary piece in April at Roy Bowen Theatre, George-Graves said.

Student-written book teaches saving skills

I’ve researched thoroughly,” Holmes said. He said he wished he was taught money management in high school before entering college. Holmes’ book covers topics about his personal experience with money management, budget balancing, savings accounts, investing, retirement funds, taxes, debt and extra ways to make money — such as Post Mates, Lyft driving and other jobs in the community — that could earn students more than $1,000 a month.

MICAHIAH BROWN-DAVIS Lantern reporter brown-davis.3@osu.edu Ronald Holmes didn’t need a background in financial literacy to write a book about how to save money. Holmes, a fourth-year in film studies, is the author of “Finance 101: What They Didn’t Teach You In High School,” a newly published book that acts as a guide for students to learn about money management. Holmes self-published the book in mid-August through Blurb, a digital platform for book design and promotion, and sold copies in person. On Sept. 19, the book was released on Amazon and Barnes and Noble online. Holmes said he noticed in December he was spending money on unnecessary things, which led him to research ways to save money. When Holmes shared the information he learned with family and friends, he said they encouraged him to write the book. “I’m not claiming to be something I’m not.

COLUMBUS’ OWN

Zoo Trippin’ brings sound of Columbus

OLIVER BOCH | ARTS&LIFE DIRECTOR

Local band Zoo Trippin’ poses after performing its Columbus’ Own set in the Lantern newsroom Sept. 26.

EMMA SCOTT MORAN Lantern reporter scottmoran.1@osu.edu Zoo Trippin’ finds a piece of home on every stage. The local band, so named for an old pastime of psychedelic excursions to the Columbus Zoo, got its start playing wild and explosive after-party shows, guitarist Lynn Roose and drummer Steve Hatmaker said. “We’d have after-parties. We’d have wild events. Our shows were very energetic, very wild,” Hatmaker said. “And I think we kind of built the name Zoo Trippin’ around that.” Today, the band maintains its high-energy reputation with music that vocalist Tony Casa said he hopes will make people feel like they could start a revolution. “I want people to realize that they can individually inflict change,” Casa said.

This translates to a sound bassist Alex Kessis said bounces around blues, funk, hip-hop and rock ‘n’ roll. “We try to not stick to one genre, but if you have to put an umbrella term on it, I just call it rock ’n’ roll,” Roose said. He said the genre-bending nature of the group’s music reflects a sound that is specific to the Columbus music community. “There’s this thing in Columbus where the sound is almost always groovy, and it’s a lot of pieces, and there’s horns, and it has a funk aspect to it almost all the time,” Roose said. “It’s all a big sound with a catchy melody.” This Columbus-based sound is exemplified by local favorites such as Mojoflo, George Barrie Band and Doc Robinson, Roose said. Listening to these bands inspired Zoo Trippin’ to expand its instrumentation, he said. “We would just kind of piddle

around with general rock songs and simple structures,” Roose said. “But after hearing that sort of stuff, it made me want to write with horns, with some organ, write with all these pieces.” Columbus-based bands collaborate and pull ideas from one another, Hatmaker said, giving a tight-knit, unified quality to the local music community. Despite the cutthroat nature of the music industry, he said there is a brotherhood among local bands. “Music’s competitive no matter how you slice it, but I think in this city, the bands who are working together kind of lift each other up and kind of pull from each other’s influence a little bit,” Hatmaker said. Zoo Trippin’ will embark on its first U.S. tour in November, Casa said. Whether the crowd is 10 or 10,000, Roose said the band feels at home on stage and brings the same level of energy to each per-

formance because ultimately, the members of Zoo Trippin’ play for themselves. “It feels like home,” Roose said. “There are shows where we are playing to basically nobody in a town where they’ve never heard of us, and we’re still having a blast because it’s not necessarily about how they’re feeling. We are making that energy for ourselves,” Roose said. When on the road, Casa said he appreciates the little things that remind him of Columbus. “There’s so many cities that are just the same — it’s the same Pilot station, same Wendy’s, the same type of venue. But every now and then, you’ll find a city, and you’re like, ‘This makes me think of home,’” Casa said. The band said it gets this homey feeling when eating together at Moe’s Original BBQ in Newark, Ohio, or performing for crowds in Dayton and Yellow Springs,

before. Holmes said the biggest challenge while writing the book was finding credible sources, due to the massive amount of information online. Holmes said he hopes more financial courses will be offered in high schools and colleges where his book can be used as a guide. “The U.S. doesn’t have a financial education requirement, and you need to be financially literate to understand finances,” Holmes

said. “The school system leaves it up to the parents to teach their children, but how can parents teach if they’ve never learned? This is why the cycle keeps continuing.” Holmes said he has sold 25 copies through Blurb and in-person sales. He said he will not know the total sales from other retailers until the beginning of November. “Finance 101: What They Didn’t Teach You in High School” is currently sold on Blurb.com,

Amazon and Barnes and Noble for $14.99. The book can also be purchased in person by emailing Holmes at holmes.784@buckeyemail.osu.edu.

Ohio, where Casa said people know how to “get down” like they do in Columbus. “I like finding those cities on tour and experiencing that with my best friends and being like, ‘Even though we’re not home, we find these little things that are like home,’” Casa said. Zoo Trippin’ will play Oct. 14 at Strongwater Food and Spirits at 401 West Town St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and tickets are free.

because I never learned that,” France said. Holmes said his book is different from other financial literacy books because it is simple enough to understand without getting too simple. “It’s not one of those textbooks you get from class and have to reread a paragraph to understand what was said,” France said.

CASEY CASCALDO | MANAGING EDITOR FOR MULTIMEDIA

Head coach Ryan Day talks into his headset during the first half of the 2019 Spring Game April 13. Gray beat Scarlet 35-17.

GRIFFIN STROM Sports Editor strom.25@osu.edu Ahead of the 2016 football season, Ryan Day and Jeff Hafley needed jobs. The pair of 37-year-old position coaches landed in San Francisco, interviewing for posts on the 49ers staff amid a regime change. The team went 2-14 with Day as the quarterbacks coach and Hafley manning the secondary, and Day departed for Ohio State following the season. It would seem their chapter would close as two ships passing in the night, a brief stint together as assistants coaching on opposite ends of the ball who found marginal team success. That’s not how they saw it, though. “I told him on Sunday, we were going to coach together,” Day said. “I didn’t know I’d be the head coach here, and that’s how it would work out. But I always knew I’d coach with him again.” Now the head coach and co-defensive coordinator of the No. 4 college football team in the country, respectively, Day and Hafley are writing new chapters together, but their story began almost 20 years earlier. Day and Hafley’s collegiate careers ran nearly concurrently, with Day playing quarterback for New Hampshire from 1998-2001 and Hafley playing wide receiver for Siena from 19972000. Their coaching careers began immediately after, as Day coached tight ends for his alma mater and Hafley coached running backs at Worcester Polytech before ending up as a defensive assistant for Albany in 2002. With New Hampshire and Albany less than four hours apart, it was working summertime football camps on the East Coast where the young coaches first took notice of each other. Even when Day left for Boston College in 2003, Hafley said the two hung out and talked football at camps. From there, both worked up the ranks –– Day becoming an offensive coordinator for Boston College after stints at Temple and Florida, while Hafley took defensive backs coach positions at Pittsburgh and Rutgers –– before breaking into the NFL in 2012 for Hafley and

2015 for Day. The end of the 2015 NFL season saw both Day and Hafley’s head coaches fired, and job openings in San Francisco found the pair reunited. Hafley said they even interviewed together with former Oregon and Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly. When the season began, Hafley and Day found themselves frequenting each other’s offices with schematic questions, seeking perspective from the other side of the field. Their relationship wouldn’t end there. “On a lot of the road trips, being that we were on the West Coast, we’d leave two days before, so we would spend a lot of time together in a hotel, just picking each other’s brain, talking football, sharing thoughts,” Hafley said. “I think there was a mutual respect, and I think we just kinda clicked.” In Hafley’s first year, the 49ers pass defense jumped from No. 27 in 2015 to No. 14, but five consecutive losing seasons in the NFL and no playoff appearances began to take a toll, and he said he wasn’t having fun coaching anymore. It was then that the coaches began discussing their future in football. “We had several conversations about coaching in college, and that’s where we both wanted to end up,” Day said. That transition happened quickly for Day, who was hired as former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer’s co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2017. Hafley remained in Tampa Bay for another two years, but Meyer’s retirement after the 2018 season left an opening for Day to take over the Buckeye program. Suddenly, the 17-year assistant coach was in a position to assemble a staff of his own. “I had a list of guys that I was colleagues with and people I respected, but you just never know where people are at in their careers and where things are at, and you try to piece it together the best you can,” Day said. “But [Hafley] was always a guy that I obviously wanted to have on staff.” After five blowout wins to begin the 2019 season, Day’s offense is No. 7 in the country in total yards, and Hafley’s DAY CONTINUES ON 13

defense is giving up the second fewest yards in the nation. Not only is Hafley winning games again, but his passion for the job has returned. “This is the most fun I’ve had coaching in a long time,” Hafley said. “I feel re-energized, I love the staff, I love coaching for coach Day, I love these players, I love coming to work every day and I haven’t been able to say that in a long time, but I mean that. This is fun.” They met as 23-year-old aspiring coaches, but now that both are 40 with multiple kids, their priorities have shifted. Day’s accommodation for family enhanced what Hafley called a special culture at

Ohio State. “He respects our family and our time so much, and in this business, that’s very rare to have a head coach that truly respects that,” Hafley said. “What do I mean by that? You guys could see my daughters running up and down the hall any time you want. My wife can come in here and feel comfortable any time she wants.” The type of tight-knit relationship Day and Hafley have formed is what the first-year head coach said he hopes to be exemplary of his program from top to bottom. “Our team can feel the staff chemistry,” Day said. “If we love each other as coaches, then they’re going to feel that, and that was just as important as any.”

biggest difference for me.” Hitting her stride in the 2018 season, Franklin led the team with 39 aces in her junior season and was ranked No. 4 in the Big Ten with an average .32 aces per set. Carlston said he’s seen these differences in game play affect his players’ comfort on the court in their first couple matches, but time changes all things. “It’s almost like I came full circle,” Franklin said. “Now as a senior, I’m so comfortable, so confident in myself and my team so it reminds of how I played back home. I feel more like myself than ever.”

The traditions during the holidays are all so different. How we dress, how we act, how we talk. But I’m excited to keep on learning.” In her first year in the program, Rocafort has been training with fellow setters freshman Mac Podraza and junior Becca Mauer to grow in her abilities and become more comfortable with Buckeye volleyball.

This year, Franklin said she wants to exemplify the treatment she received from the seniors during her freshman season. Rocafort, from Puerto Rico, said Franklin and the other seniors have done just that. Though this group has aided Rocafort’s transition process, she said the cultural differences con-

Bukilic and Franklin do after their transitions to Ohio State. “I hope to grow to my full potential as a volleyball player, and I wish to learn a lot from what this university and the courses have to offer me and grow as a person with this university because it’s truly amazing,” Rocafort said.

much better this year. If I can get him in on his left foot, he’s deadly with his left foot,” Etling said. Holland said knowing his teammate’s tendencies allows him to set up Etling in places he is most effective. “Knowing that Devyn is so good in the air, maybe with my crosses to him I can find his head versus his feet,” Holland said. Etling’s penchant for high-wire acrobatics was proven with the first of two goals against the University of South Florida on Sept. 17, when he scored a header on a pass from senior defender Osman Fofanah. However, Etling can also dish out the ball if he finds a teammate with an opportunity to score, as he did setting Holland up for the game-winning goal against Bowling Green. Maisonneuve said Etling’s adept body control is an asset to the team. “His ability to put his body in some really unique situations makes him a handful,” Maisonneuve said. “He’s willing to put himself in some dangerous spots to score goals.” When Etling finds success, it boosts the team’s morale and overall chemistry. “He just works super hard, so it is really easy for me to feed off his energy,” Holland said. “You see him in the games, and he is just nonstop getting knocked down, throwing his body around, so it fires me up when I see him do that.”

Ohio State players celebrate then-redshirt freshman forward Devyn Etling’s (9) goal during the first half of the Ohio StateRutgers game in 2018. Ohio State lost 3-2.

Ohio State is 5-1-0 so far in the 2019 season, a stark contrast to the 1-4-1 start it had a season ago. Since then, the team has lost to Penn State and West Virginia and tied Northwestern, but Etling and Holland are out to prove that

2018’s 1-15-2 record was an aberration. “Hopefully in the end, we will be able to do well and be one of the better duos and lead the team to being the best,” Etling said.

It’s a small world for Buckeye basketball Aranaz’s national teams played against each other almost every summer, in what became a rivalry.

“You don’t feel so alone. You know that they understand you, how you feel.” MEGHAN CARROLL Lantern reporter carroll.677@osu.edu For Ohio State forwards Aixa Wone Aranaz, Rebeka Mikulášiková and Dorka Juhász, the phrase “It’s a small world” could not be more accurate. Though they hail from Spain, Slovakia and Hungary, respectively, freshmen Wone Aranaz and Mikulášiková and sophomore Juhász have all crossed paths over the years while representing their national teams.

“I’m really excited to see my European girls that came,” Juhász said. “It [is] really exciting to play together now.” None of them are new to a higher level of basketball. Wone Aranaz played for several of Spain’s junior national teams, Mikulášiková played for the highest league in Slovakia on Piestanske Cajky and Juhász has played on Hungarian national teams since 2015. Juhász hasn’t forgotten competing against her new teammates prior to their arrival in Columbus. She said her and Wone

Aixa Wone Aranaz Ohio State freshman forward

In 2015, Spain and Hungary faced off in the U16 FIBA European Championship and Hungary obliterated Spain 81-6. Juhász had 27 points in the game. It was in European league play that Mikulášiková and Juhász first squared off. Though they all have years of experience playing in Europe, adapting to the American style of play has remained a chal-

lenge. Mikulášiková said the American game features more one-onone play and physicality than in Europe. She said having Wone Aranaz and Juhász on the team is vital because they have the same culture and can read each other’s games due to their similar playing styles. “[Juhász] is really helping me with everything, we are really close friends,” Mikulášiková said. “I’m so glad that she’s helping me.” Head coach Kevin McGuff said Juhász is leaning into her newfound leadership position in her second year, helping a team with seven new additions get acclimated to play at Ohio State. The trio may be a part of a 13-person roster at Ohio State, but as the only three international players in the program, they share a bond like no one else. “We have become better friends, and you have them on the court so it’s different,” Wone Aranaz said. “You don’t feel so alone. You know that they understand you, how you feel.”

A home away from home ALLY WILLIAMS Lantern reporter williams.6177@osu.edu Leaving home and coming to college can be one of the hardest things for a person to do, yet millions of first-year students do it every year. However, traveling from another country to attend a school with new customs, a new language and a different culture is a whole new game. But it’s a game worth playing for Ohio State women’s volleyball players senior outside hitter Ana Beatriz Franklin, sophomore opposite hitter Vanja Bukilic and freshman setter Cecilia Rocafort, who all came into the program as international students. “In Brazil, after you finish high school, you either go to college or you go on to play pro. You can’t do both or it’s very hard to do both,” Franklin said. “I just wanted to give myself the best opportunity to still go to school and get a great degree and play volleyball at the highest level in the Big Ten.” When recruiting international players, head coach Geoff Carlston said he makes it a priority to meet the players and their families and provide an opportunity for them to meet the team. Even with this layer of preparation, the difference in gameplay can still prove challenging for international players, Carlston said. Bukilic, from Serbia, grew up playing a stoic and straightforward game, but when she joined the Buckeyes, the coaches and players

knew they needed her to get out of her shell and show more enthusiasm on the court, Carlston said. Now in her second year in the program, Bukilic said she has adapted to many of the challenges she faced as a freshman. “Last year I was more confused, scared with how the playing goes,” Bukilic said. “This year I know what to expect from different teams, from my team, from my school perspective, from my life.” This confusion, though, did not stop her from having a stellar freshman season. During the 2018 season, Bukilic led the team with 358 season kills and ranked No. 3 among Big Ten freshmen with three kills per set. As with any LANTERN FILE PHOTO transition pro- Sophomore outside cess, a support hitter Ana Beatriz system helped Franklin (17) serves Bukilic through for Ohio State during this period of Ohio State’s match change. She said against Purdue at St. the team provided John Arena on Oct. that for her even 27, 2017. Purdue won the match 3-0. during the recruiting process.

“The first reason I came here was the team and the coaches. When I was being recruited, the team was just taking my breath, they were so honest,” Bukilic said. “They didn’t fake it like some teams do when recruits come. But I felt with this team it was actually true and now being here, it just supports my first thoughts.” Having a member of the team who could understand the perspective of being an international player furthered Bukilic’s com-

fort with the team and game. “Bia [Franklin] helped me a lot. She’s one of my best friends. She knows how culturally things are different in the U.S. and home,” Bukilic said. “We go and have small coffee dates where she would help me out and support everything I do. It’s just easier when you tell people how you feel, and she would listen and give advice.” Franklin, who grew up in Brazil and played for the youth national team, found she could overcome challenges through her teammates’ support. “I spoke very little English but I had a really awesome class of seniors when I came in, so it was never that big of a deal. I always felt very accepted, and I adjusted pretty quick,” Franklin said. Even with this support, she said the differences between the way volleyball is played in the U.S. took some adjusting. “Physically we’re very different — Brazil is a lot shorter so I would say the game’s a lot faster and a lot looser,” Franklin said. “There there’s a lot of tactics and a lot more structure [here] so that took me a while.

Moving forward: Etling and Holland

Green and white ready to fight

JACBOB BENGE For The Lantern benge.30@osu.edu Ohio State men’s soccer scored eight goals in 2018 –– the fewest in the Big Ten by 10 scores. Halfway through the 2019 season and Devyn Etling and Jack Holland alone have already combined for eight goals. The pair have put the Big Ten on notice, as the Buckeyes are tied for the conference lead in goals thanks to the acrobatics of redshirt sophomore forward Etling and the left foot of senior midfielder Holland. “As two really good attacking, creative players, they work their tails off,” head coach Brian Maisonneuve said.

Michigan State senior defensive end Kenny Willekes (48) tackles Arizona State junior running back Eno Benjamin (3) in the second half of the game against Arizona, on Sept. 14. Michigan State lost 10-7.

ANDY ANDERS Assistant Sports Edior anders.83@osu.edu Ohio State’s lowest point total in the 2019 season is 42, which it collected in a shutout win against Cincinnati. Forty-two points is more than all but 12 teams in the country average per game. No. 4 Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) has been prolific on offense so far this year, but No. 25 Michigan State (4-1, 2-0) rolls into Columbus allowing 254 yards per game — seventh-fewest in the nation and 282 less than Ohio State gains per game. “We’re up against one of the best run defenses in college football in the last two decades this week, so we’re going to have to bring our A-game,” Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said. Ohio State mounted 368 yards on the ground against Nebraska, which ranked a respectable No. 41 in rush defense entering the game. Michigan State is No. 4, the only current top 40 rush defense the Buckeyes have faced so far. It works both ways, however, as Ohio State’s No. 7 rush offense will be the first top 40 attack the Spartans have faced. Ohio State junior running back J.K. Dobbins is second in the country with 654 rushing yards, accrued at a blistering 7.1 yards per carry. Against the pass, Michigan State fairs slightly worse, allowing 198 yards per game — No. 7 in the Big Ten. When Michigan State does have success against the pass, it’s often because it’s pressuring the quarterback. The Spartans are No. 2 in the Big Ten with 16 sacks this year. Ohio State is No. 1. Sophomore quarterback Justin Fields is placing an emphasis on quick decision-making, hoping to avoid sacks on Saturday.

“I have to get a better feel of throwing the ball away and when to try to make a play,” Fields said. “Some of the sacks this year, they were really on me. I should’ve just thrown the ball away and moved onto the next play.” Leading the Spartan defense is senior defensive end Kenny Willekes, a first team AllBig Ten performer in 2018. Seeing a defensive lineman attain more than 50 tackles is abnormal, with no Buckeye frontman accomplishing the feat since 2016. Willekes accumulated more than 70 in both 2017 and 2018. He’s on pace to do that again in 2019, with 34 stops through five games. He’s consistently in the backfield, too, with six tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks this season.

“We’re up against one of the best run defenses in college football in the last two decades this week, so we’re going to have to bring our “A” game.” RYAN DAY Ohio State head football coach

“I feel like he’s in on every play when I watch a clip of film,” Day said. “His hands, he’s got to be really, really strong because he gets off blocks better than anybody I’ve ever seen in the last couple years on film in this conference.” Backing him in the front seven is senior linebacker Joe Bachie, another 2018 first team

All-Big Ten selection. Bachie is looking for a third consecutive season with 100 tackles, leading the Spartans with 47 this season. The team captain adds 5.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and an interception to that total. Day said that when scheming against great defenders like Ohio State junior defensive end Chase Young, Bachie or Willekes, it’s important to devote some time to it, but not too much. “I think that’s kind of the art of coaching, again, is how much do you spend time on a great player?” Day said. “There’s a couple great players on Michigan State; how much time are we going to spend figuring out how to neutralize those guys? Because they are the difference makers.” Day said what stands out most about Michigan State’s defense, however, is its simplicity, adaptability and versatility. “They’re not super complicated, but they have answers to everything that you do. So the minute you run a play, they’re on top of it, and they’ve got it defended the next play,” Day said. “These are guys who have played in this system for a while, and there are coaches who have coached in this system for a while, so it’s a tremendous challenge.” The Michigan State defense also does well in generating turnovers. Fields has yet to throw an interception in his collegiate career, but the Spartans are tied for No. 8 with several teams nationally with six picks this season. Even against a team with a plus-6 turnover margin, tied for No. 2 in the Big Ten with the Buckeyes, Day said Ohio State hasn’t been playing conservatively, and it doesn’t plan to Saturday. “I think you have to be aggressive,” Day said. “You can’t not be aggressive. That’s kind of the way we are. We like to be aggressive.” Ohio State and Michigan State kick off at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

“Hopefully in the end, we will be able to do well and be one of the better duos and lead the team to being the best.” DEVYN ETLING Ohio State redshirt sophomore forward

— Holland from Dublin, Ohio, and Etling from Ashland, Ohio — the two knew of each other prior to coming to Ohio State. In high school, Holland played club soccer with the Ohio Premier Eagles, and Etling played with the Columbus Crew Academy. “We had one game where we played against each other. It was like a friendly kind of scrimmage,” Etling said. “I didn’t know [Holland] was going to Ohio State at the time, and he came up to me and was like, ‘Hey, I’ll see you at Ohio State.’” After three years of practicing and playing together, Holland and Etling are producing results. Etling’s five goals and 11 points lead the team, and he is tied for the conference lead in scores. Holland is fifth in the conference with three goals, and his four assists are the most on the Buckeyes. Etling said both players try to find specific aspects of the other’s game to mesh with and inculcate into their game routines. “We are moving the ball so SOCCER CONTINUES ON 13
