The Metropolitan Auraria Campus has one of the lowest campus crime rates in Colorado, according to the recently-released 20002001 Campus Crime Report. » The low crime rate is primarily due to the fact Auraria is a commuter campus, and does not house dormitories or student residences, the report said.

Sewing away

Focus groups to

Chris Lawson -The Metropolitan University of Colorado at Denver senior Keith Houston works on sewing a costume in the King Center.

ShorMerm loans available early Students can apply to borrow $210 ,Dec. 10 from SFRC Jenni Grubbs The Metropolitan Spring semester short-term loan processing will begin Dec. 10, more than a month ahead of schedule, according to Arliss Sunderwirth Webster, director of the Student Finance Resource Center.

"We're doing something radically different from what we've ever done before," Webster said.

Webster said one reason for the change is to coincide with the delivery and availablitlity of text books in the Auraria Book Center. The end 路 of fall semester is the best time for students to find used textbooks, and opening shortterm loans up before Christmas will allow financially-strapped students to buy their books early, she said.

Another reason is to spread out the demand for leans at the start of the new semester.

'We hope to have not so much volume all at once," she said.

Also, Webster said, opening up the starting date for processing will give students another avenue for financial relief between financial aid periods. She said many students do not realize financial aid checks are not disbursed until Jan. 12, and an early short-term loan can help out until that check is sent.

In addition to moving back the opening date, the application fee and loan amounts are increasing with the spring semester.

The application fee, which is the sole source of funding for the loans, is increasing $3 from $7 to $10, and the loan amount is being raised from $200 to $210. Webster said this will enable the students to receive the full $200, less the application fee, compared to the $193 students received in the past.

"We're hoping we can buy one half of

one more book for the students," Webster said.

This fall the center processed more than 500 short-term loans, according to

'We're

"I expect that we will continue to exceed each semester's numbers," Webster said.

Leadership program in delvopment by SGA Matt Gavin The Metropolitan

f

A new program to help students gain leadership skills and possibly receive academic credit is being developed by the Student Government Assembly at Metro.

"The goals would be to provide leadership skills and opportunities for the students of Metro and to facilitate more leadership on campus," said Candace Farmer, president of the SGA. SGA members Farmer and Chris Meskow, Vice President for Student Fees, said they are working with campus organizations, including student

activities, to create it.

Farmer said SGA and the other organizations will get together and brainstorm ideas with several select students.

The groups will share their ideas with students to gauge what the campus wants. Eventually, when a more organized plan is developed, meetings will begin with all interested 路p arties.

Meskow said he would like to see students' extracurricular activities appear directly on their transcripts.

Farmer said a long-term goal for the program would be for students to receive academic credit by joining the program.

Farmer said the program would not offer credit retroactively for past activities.

Farmer also said the idea is still in the early developmental stages, but some creative meetings will take place within the next few weeks to try and organize it.

Farmer said she has "many ideas and a lot of excitement, but before we start planning we need to know what the students want."

The first meeting is scheduled for Nov. 14 at 3:00pm at the SGA office.

For mor e information contact either Farmer or Meskow at the SGA office at the Tivoli, suite 307, or call 303-5563253.

On Nov. 12 Metro will host two paid focus groups for students to share experiences at Metro, according to Kate Lutrey, assistant to the vice president of student services.

"The purpose of the focus groups is to find out from the students directly about their academic experiences," Lutrey said.

Any student who participates in the focus groups will receive $30, pizza and pop as well as free parking for one day in the Tivoli lot.

Lutrey said the dinner and $30 are an incentive to get the students to show up.

'We W'ant the students to come," she said. 'We know time is valuable for the students. This is our way of acknowledging that value."

The two focus groups will be held Nov. 12, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The first session is for students who attend daytime classes and the second is for nighttime students.

To sign up for either focus group session, call Kate Lutrey at (303) 556-8043.

Donations needed Metro's Political Science Association will be collecting donations to benefit people in the Dine tribe in Arizona.

Members will be collecting clothing, tools, car parts and bulk foods to help support the Dine.

The association will set up tables for collections by the flagpole Nov. 12, 14 and 15 from 10 a .m. - 2 p.m .. and place donation boxes around campus.

For more 路information, contact Britt Hodgdon at (720) 570-0852 or Tony Deland at (303) 864-0997.

Bulletin boards open for discussion Metro's new online discussion boards are available to students who want to complain about the financial aid office or campus food or announce concerts. Students can create their own topics and find out what their peers are thinking.

In the first seven days of November, the website had 2,305 hits.

"It's an opportunity for people to interact and talk about issues that they're interested in, share ideas and develop community," said Zav Daddabhoy, Met ro's director of student activities.

'1t's a fun exchange of ideas," Metro student Jen Darnell said.

"Considering it's only been up a month or so, it's amazing we've gotten so many people on it."

Follow your love, not money David Hindman Staff columnist I didn't know the temperature would plunge to three-Fahrenheit degrees above zero that night but I knew it was getting cold. The power was running low on my cell phone battery. As I buried myself deep in my army issue down-filled sleeping bag in the sleeper berth of my semi-truck, I was afraid of losing my communications lifeline to the outside world. I could talk to my wife over the phone, but we felt helpless as 20 tons of steel and wheels sat frozen at the bottom of a snowy and insurmountable pass.

It grew quiet. It grew dark. The four batteries that once contained 48 volts of direct current were down to almost nothing. I tried to charge my phone from whatever was left. The feeling of how alone I was grew stronger as the night enveloped me. I began to fear sleep. I longed for it-

but I didn't know if I would wake up in the morning. I just wanted to be home.

During the many times I was awakened by my cold extremities, I found myself praying that God wouldn't let me die. When I awoke the next morning, I noticed the mist from my breath had formed a layer of ice on the ceiling of the sleeper berth. I was alive and glad to see the light of a new day. The military sleeping bag had saved my life. My dad, a former Army captain, had given it to me.

Over the years, Dad gave me other things that could have kept me out of trouble in the first place had I taken them. Advice, for instance.

"Stay m college.

Finish your education or your life is going to be hard," he would say. Those words came back to me often when I would drive at 3 a.m. in subzero weather on ice and snow. I didn't want to swallow my pride and admit it but, Dad was right. And the harder life got, the more profound was my knowledge of his wisdom.

Dad was only half-right, however.

His full counsel was to get a degree in business. He certainly had my best interests at heart but they were short

circuited by the fact that I hadn't been wired that way. I was an arts guy.

I was a writer, not a business person. Nevertheless, I changed my major from English to marketing because I was afraid I would starve without a business degree. I dropped out of college within a semester of that choice.

When I returned to Metro, I declared a major in finance but felt like a round peg trying to fit into a square hole. The classes seemed especially challenging and I really didn't seem to have the talent for it.

Business classes seemed practical as I looked forward to the high-income prize-if I ever made it to the finish line.

It took me a long time to discover that doing what is practical is not always synonymous with doing what is sensible. In pursuing an education and career, chasing the money may be practical. Pursuing the development of your gift is sensible.

The pursuit of what seemed best instead of what actually is best has more or less put me in career limbo for 16 years: Seven and a half in securities and banking. Eight and a half in a truck that kept me from my

family and made me miss my toddler's first steps.

My dear readers, some of you may be making the same mistake I made.

You may be chasing the money instead of your gift.

In my 15 years of marriage, my wife and I have owned five different houses, a four-unit rental, and nine different cars, all without a college education between us. There are opportunities available m this country, even without an education, that will keep you from poverty.

You don't have to listen to my advice, but it is this: Finish your college education, but don't sweat the financial security stuff. If you're not good with money, someday you can get a business major to advise you on what to do with it.

Do what you love. Do what is in line with your giftedness, whether it is acting, painting, writing, computing or managing. If you don't, you may find yourself at the age of 35 or older starting over, only this time with a couple of kids and a whole lot of extra responsibilities.

Yes. Finish college-but do it right the first time.

Be the woman you were meant to be

Jenny Arribau Staff columnist She has applied just the right shade of lipstick, and put on her favorite lowcut sparkly top, a short skirt, and a new pair of platform boots. All week long she is a hard-working college student and employee, but now Friday night has arrived, and she's a sexy dancer in the club. Her professional demeanor during the week comes just as naturally as does her sexy wild side during girl's night out, and her confidence is always projected. Some would say she is a paradox, but she is really a woman just being herself.

Like all people, this woman's personality is complex, and she cannot be labeled with one single term because of her mood or her appearance alone. However, both women and men use labels to describe her everyday, one often contradicting the other.

If she is assertive and powerful, she's a bitch, if she's quiet, she's

strange. If she's silly, she's stupid, and if she's serious, she's rude. If she doesn't worry about her appearance, she's a slob. If she dresses up too much, she's superficial and self absorbed. If she wears baggy clothes, she's too manly or prude, if she wears tight clothes, she is a slut and she is powerless. No matter what she is, she should be something else.

I used to battle these labels everyday, but I now I've given up the fight. I will be what I will be, and no matter what that is, a few people won't approve, so who cares. I'd like to think that feminist philosophy now allows women to be exactly who and what they want to be, regardless of which box others will throw them into as a result. If being one's self includes flowing long hair, extreme make-up, a busty neck-line and a head turning stride, so be it.

Expressing our sexuality and femininity are two of the most powerful resources we possess as strong women. To deny this power is to feed the stereotype that feminists are trying to obtain the position of men in society. This is far from true, as we are really forming a new position, both apart from and together with men.

Now I'm not talking about using tactics for little power trips such as one that a girlfriend of mine calls "charging the booby credit card" in order to get a free drink at the bar, (though many of us have used our appearance to get something at some point.) I'm talking about feeling sexy and proud of it. I imagine that it's the same feeling many men experience when they put on a slick suit with their favorite tie: hot and in control.

Can't we women put on our favorite number, strut into a room and feel just as elegant as we do strong, without silent or muttered criticism hitting us from every direction?

On the other hand, some ladies happen to dress in more masculine attire.

Dressing this way is comfortable, it is not a way to mask female identity. These women do not suffer from penis-envy (as if anyone ever does) but they are just being themselves. Isn't that the first lesson we are taught so that we may communicate well with all people?

Just be yourself. This philosophy should include letting others do the same thing.

Just because I support all kinds of women, from those who don't stress about their appearance, to those who

work hard for a sexy look, I do not condone the media's objectification of women. I am disgusted with images of hungry waif-like creatures with pale skin and stringy hair who are trained to create the popular myth of "ideal beauty" Reaching this ideal is impossible for most of us, as the models portrayed are not true representations of people, but are often digitally altered to fit the high fashion aesthetic. To fall under the media's influence can be very easy, especially if one suffers from a low self- esteem. Such women fight an outward battle of jealousy and anger towards other women, along with an inward battle of self-hatred, both encouraged and applauded by popular culture. These women need confident role models.

More and more women are accepting the differences between each of us to create a female community. It's time that we respect each other, regardless of the barriers that separate us, such as daily moods and appearances.

So ladies, from shocking sparkles to baggy wool, a big spiral curls to a spiky do, a grin to a frown, whatever you're wearing, wear it with pride.

Danielle Haraburda Opinions "Editor In the beginning, there was prayer in school, not because the men who wrote the First Amendment believed in a mingling of church.and state. Far from it. James Madison even argued that having an army chaplain violated the First Amendment. No, there was prayer in school once upon a time because the state did not run schools. They were private and a privilege for the wealthy.

When the state got involved in education, it left the responsibility of religion to the individual's parents. But apparently, parents and individuals are no longer capable of deciding what's best for their children. These days, the state is now deciding when people should worship .

I don't blame the Supreme Court for last week's decision to not hear a case on Viginia's policy on a moment of silence for students before the beginning of each day's class. The policy did not directly dictate the class to "pray." It directed the student to "pray or meditate." The Rehnquist court looks for any good loophole through which they can further their conservative agenda. They were only doing their job.

This ruling is just the first step on the slippery slope to open school prayer.

Hi~dman

Bills requiring mandatory moments of silence are popping up all over the country faster than tent revivals in the Bible belt. "We aren't trying to promote religion," said Rep. Rex Damschroder, ROhio, who introduced House ~ill 394, a bill modeled after the rec(!nt Virginia legislation. C'mon Rex. There isn't a conscious human being in the United States who doesn't understand what conservative efforts to institute a moment of silence is all about. It's about finding a backdoor to introduce prayer in school. At least, if they're trying to improve student's moral condition, they could be honest about it. But, even if we truly believe that prayer is going to save our declining moral climate, do we need this bill?

Well, no. It's sort of well kept secret, but praying in school is already legal.

Surprised? You shouldn't be. Court cases going back to the early 20th century have always upheld the individual student's right to pray. In fact, students can pray before class, before lunch, in the hallways and before games. They can witness to other students during free times, such as lunch or recess, and they can form religious clubs in schools as long as the school allows open format clubs (those not specifically aligned with an academic discipline, such as a French Club, or Math Club). What, before now, wasn't legal was the school's actual enforcing of prayer. Before now, the practice was left up to the individual's choice. Typically, that's called "freedom of religion."

But now the first step has been taken

toward prayer in school. If religious conservatives have their way we won't be able to argue about whether or not we should force students to pray. But hey, that's where the fun really begins.

Once we've established that students cannot decide for themselves when and where to practice their faith, we can all argue over which prayer we should use.

In America, I have no doubt Christianity will edge out most of the others. We can get rid of those pesky "others" like Jews, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikhs and ... of course, Muslims. But we're still not done.

Should we have one set prayer to cover all the children in the nation, thereby watering down the faiths of thousands, or should we make it a state's rights issue and let the local government pick the appropriate prayer? I'm sure the Protestants in predominantly Catholic Louisiana would object to venerating the Virgin Mary by praying the Hail Mary. In the rest of the country, the Mormons can argue with the Presbyterians about whether or not the Bible is the only inerrant word of God, and the Southern Baptists and the Anglicans can hash out which version of the Lord's Prayer we use.

In a nation that was, in part, founded on the idea that religious diversity is a fundamental human right and also something to be decided upon by the individual, it is a tragedy that the state has entered this debate.

Don't kid yourself by believing that state sanctioned prayer in school will eliminate the debate. It's just the beginning.

Capturing the changing of Auraria' s seasons

An Auraria student passes by the "Four Seasons of Auraria," now showing at the Auraria library gallery.

Melanie Bialik -The Metropolitan

Andrea Scott The Metropolitan Even though he earned a degree in meteorology from Metro, photographer Farhad Vak.ilitabar has been studying the art of photography for 10 years.

His first oncampus exhibit four years ago featured photographs taken in France. His second and third exhibits featured photographs of landmarks in Iran, his homeland.

Vakilitabar's latest exhibit, Four Seasons of Auraria, opened Nov. 1 at Auraria Library. It is a collection inspired by the diversity of the campus to unearth the hidden beauty of everyday buildings such as the Mercantile, the Emmanuel Gallery, the Tivoli and other sites, Vakilitabar said.

"It is the artist's privilege to choose which reality he wants to reflect," Vakilitabar said. "I have chosen to share the beauty of our surroundings which we may take for granted."

Vakilitabar's style of photography is 路a process that uses double exposures in the camera, which involves taking a picture and than taking another picture on top of

it. He emphasizes the fact he does not use any digital manipulations m his photographs.

"Usually when I take one image I feel like it is not representative of what I saw, as a result my tendency has been to present more of what I see," Vakilitabar said.

His photographs have been on display in numerous Denver galleries including the Space Gallery and the Littleton Historic Museum. A picture he took in France of a castle's reflection in a lake won the National Geographic Tra veler's contest in 1989.

Vakilitabar's photographs are for sale.

He is donating 10 percent of all proceeds from the sale of his art to the Auraria Campus Library.

One of the photographs on display is of the World Trade Center towers, taken two years ago. The photograph features the twin towers sitting beside a smooth ocean with an image of the American flag and a flying eagle. Vak.ilitabar said 20 percent of all sales of this particular piece would be donated to the Red Cross in support of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.

"It is the artist's privilege to choose which reality he wants to reflect."

Projectionist Steve Kristel sets up a movie reel in preparation to help kick off the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival which runs until Nov. 16 in the Starz Encore Theater at the Tivoli.

Human rights film fest comes to Auraria Chris Ward The Metropolitan

......

Jason Bosch started working to bring the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival to Denver after seeing it in New York last June.

Human Rights Watch hosts annual festivals in New York and London, and has a traveling festival that visits other cities around the world.

This is the first year that traveling festival has come to Denver, at Bosch's prodding. It will play at the Starz Encore Filmcenter at the Tivoli through Nov. 16.

"I just happened to be o~ the Human Rights Watch website, and I noticed they had a film festival coming up in New York," Bosch said.

Using his vacation time, he went to the festival so he could select the films he wanted to bring to Denver, including a few selections not normally included in the traveling festival.

Bosch worked alone organizing the festival, getting the films from Human Rights Watch and sometimes from the film's producers themselves.

He rented the space from the Denver Film Society and handled all the publicity himself.

"It's been a solo thing," Bosch said. "All the posters that have been put up, 90 percent have been put up by me. The flyers that were handed out, 100 percent have been handed out by me."

'Tm hoping for some more help next year," he

added. "It's too much for one person."

While this year's festival will only be screenings of the featured movies, if he can get more help Bosch said he hopes to bring the festival back next year with guest speakers and other events.

"This year was a learning process, but I plan to make it a big event," Bosch said. "I plan on making it every year, and making it grow." Bosch said he wanted more for this year, but couldn't put it together without help. 'Tm hoping to do some recruiting for next year," he said.

Of the nine films Bosch selected, he spoke especially highly of the closing night selection, Promises. "I think it's the best one in the festival," he said One of Bosch's concerns was people would be turned off by the subject matter. "People see 'human rights' and think the movies are going to bum them out, and I don't think that's always the case," he said. "We have some real inspirational films here."

Ideally proceeds from the festival would go to Human Rights Watch, Bosch said, but that may not happen due to his own expenses putting the festival together.

"Hopefully I'll be able to donate to Human Rights Watch, if enough people show up," Bosch said. 'TH be lucky to cover my debts."

Part of organizing the festival alone included paying for everything out of pocket. 'Tm over

$8,000 in debt," Bosch said. 'Tm really putting my ass on the line, but I believe in it."

Bosch said even if he doesn't make enough money to donate to Human Rights Watch, he would be happy if people take away something from the festival.

"I want this festival to inspire people to learn more and to do more."

UCD students organize concert to benefit Red Cross

...

Fiims not shot on film

During the past few years a new option has slowly emerged in filmmaking. Or rather in cinema, as it makes the term filmmaking inaccurate.

More and more firsttime filmmakers are shooting their movies with digital cameras.

There are advantages to the different Chris Ward medium of motion_... on film picture, most notably price; film stock is not cheap. The length of a single shot is no longer limited to how much film can be held in a camera, and directors can review scenes right away, instead of waiting for processing.

However, many film purists will point out that digital cinema lacks the visual depth of film, often appearing flat when compared to its celluloid counterpart.

The visual possibilities of film are exponentially greater than those of digital, which will have to make several technological leaps and bounds if it is Ill( ever to compete to be the dominant medium.

Melanie Bialik -The Metropolitan When it first came out, there were Andy Guererro, Kisha Watanabe, and Tenzlng Shrestha organized a Nov. 2 concert benefit to raise money for The Free Tibet two distinct opinions of digital cinema.

It was either going to take over film as Although he event raised $1 ,300, the majority of that amount went to cover expenses.

"There wasn't any need for the security at all," concert organizer Watanabe said. The event turned out to be peaceful and pictures or it would fall be the wayside quite pleasant. Guerrero made a point that the money they-ended up spending-on security could have gone to a better cause. because of its inferior image quality.

Chris Lawson -The Metropolitan

V olleyball ready for RMAC tournament Eric Ea mes ---,-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-

The Metropolitan Every adventure has a beginning, middle and ·end. For the Metro volleyball team the climax starts now, the resolution will be to the Roadrunners' choosing.

"It is about the journey." head coach Debbie Hendricks said.

For the first time, Metro (25-4 overall; 18-1) will host the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Tournament. This year's expanded eightteam tournament will take place at the Auraria Events Center Nov. 9-11.

Metro enters the tournament as the top seed, but the pursuit to the title it won in 1998 won't come without a significant sacrifice.

The RMAC is the toughest volleybaU conference in Division II, and the only conference with four nationally ranked teams (No. 9 Metro, No. 10 Western State, No. 11 Nebraska-Kearney and No. 12 Regis).

"I don't believe the season would be a failure if we don't win the RMAC," Hendricks said. "We will be incredibly disappointed. Part of the reason is that we have to look at this thing realistically. You have some of the best teams in the country who are going after this thing and a lot of it will depend upon who is playing the best this weekend and who gets hot."

As in all adventures, there is a risk involved. For Metro it starts with setter Devon Herron, who earned Player-of-the-Week honors.

"Devon is a risk taker," Hendricks said. "She doesn't mind forcing the middle attack at times and she trusts her hitters and she is willing to go to them and that's part of the reason why we are so difficult to stop .... As Devon goes so does the team."

Metro's postseason success also depends on its balanced attack of hitters, with seniors Marina Bazana (4.28 kills per game), Diana Marques (3.59) and Mei-Rong Lu (3.33) combining with sophomores Michelle McBurney (3.04) and Jessy Roy (2.70).

"It goes both ways," Hendricks added. "Devon has great hitters to go to right now and that makes the setter look better, just like the setter makes

the hitters look better."

In the first round, Metro faces the No.8-seed of the tournament in New Mexico Highlands (9-12 overall; 9-10). The Roadrunners main threat is senior outside hitter Kehaulani Mataele, who also won Player-of-the-Week honors for the western division Nov. 5 and leads the conference in kills per game at 5.80. Metro swept Highlands in straight-sets on Oct. 12.

The only RMAC team Metro has lost to this season is fifth-seeded Fort Hays State (18-12 overall; -12-7), who takes on No. 4-seed Regis (24-6 overall; 15-4). The Tigers upset the Roadrunners in a five-set match Oct. 20.

Along with Fort Hays, seventh-seeded University of Colorado-Colorado Springs (22-8 overall; 11-8) are the sleeping volcanoes in the tournament.

"They are scary teams to those teams that are seeded higher," Hendricks said.

The other first round matches: No. 3 seed Kearney (26-4 overall; 16-3) faces sixth-seeded Mesa State (15-12 overall; 11-8) and Western State (24-3 overall; 17-2) takes on UCCS. Unless an upset occurs, Metro will likely play Regis in the semifinals.

The Roadrunners have defeated the Rangers in two regular-season match ups, including the home finale Nov. 3.

Historically, the Roadrunners have lost to Regis at least once somewhere along the line, including seven times in the postseason. ''I hesitate to really address trends and streaks," Hendricks said. "To this point we have beat Regis twice, we are undefeated against them this season and to anticipate a third match up with them is looking past the teams we both have to compete with first.

"If we play Regis on Saturday (Nov. 10) I'll probably bring (that figure) up (to the team), but until then it is not really important to us."

If the seeds pan out, top seeds Metro and Western State should face each other for the championship at 1 p.m. Nov. 11. Western knocked Metro out of the RMAC playoffs last year.

"From now on we need to look forward to go to nationals," Bazana said "and any team that steps in front of us is going to get killed."

Sports Briefs

Women's volleyball fin is hes season on high note Eric Eames

Men's soccer

The Metropolitan

Senior midfielder Tony Thomas earned Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Player-of-the-Year honors for the 2001 season.

Senior defender Justin Lowder was also selected second team AllRMAC, and Junior goalkeeper Eric Butler was an honorable mention selection.

On senior night, Nov. 3, the announcer summarized four year's of work by Marina Bazana, Diana Marques, MeiRong Lu and Tiffany Baird in ten minutes. It was one minute too long for Bazana.

"Let's go people; we need to play!"

Bazana said.

Deep down, the impatient Bazana was getting pumped for Metro volleyball's regular season finale, in which she recorded her 18th double-double of the season (15 kills, 23 digs) to help down No. 12 Regis with a 30-18, 27-30, 30-20 and 30-19 win. The night before, Bazana's 13 kills and 14 digs led Metro to victory over Colorado School of Mines, 30-26, 30-13 and 30-19.

With the wins, No. 8 Metro improved to 25-4 (18-1 RMAC) and in turn gained loads of confidence heading into the RMAC Tournament.

Metro struggles were still evident in the first game against Mines (10-18; 513) when the Orediggers jumped to a 2116 lead.

Women's volleyball Sophomore setter Devon Herron received RMAC Player-of-the-Week for the Eastern Division this week.

Herron bad 40 assists in the win against Mines and 56 assists in the victory over rival Regis.

Women's soccer Senior defender Jole Wilson was selected first team All-RMAC. Junior midfielder Jenelle Brandt was RMAC honorable mention.

'1t makes me frustrated," head coach Debbie Hendricks said. "Because you know what the team is capable of, you hate to see them second guessing themselves or starting shaky like that.

It's part of the dynamics of a team, especially in this sport, you have to find a way to work through trouble."

The Roadrunners found a way as the match went along.

First, senior Mei-Rong Lu helped erase the deficit with three straight kills to tie at 23-23, as Metro outscored Mines 13-5 down the stretch to take game one.

Metro was back on top with its upbeat offense allowing them to cruise to the straight-set win over Mines.

"When we dictate our game, our tempo," outside hitter Diana Marques said, "when we do that there is nobody that can stop us."

Regis head coach Frank Lavrisha can testify to that, as his Rangers (23-7; 15-4) fell for the second time this season to the Roadrunners' speedy pace.

"It is hard to stop their system," Lavrisha said, "because they execute really well and the tempo of their offense is quick so you don't really have a chance

to grasp it or recovery, so then you have to hold your own with very little time."

Plus, the seniors had to go out with a bang.

"I didn't expect anything else but a win," Bazana said. "Regis is a big rival and they've been talking stuff about us that we were lucky to win at their place and that tonight they were going to come here and take it from us.

"No way. This is our senior night," she said.

From the outset Metro dictated the .match against Regis, immediately taking a 13-6 lead in game one and showing no signs of let up.

After dropping a close game two, Metro made a slight adjustment in its blocking scheme and cleaned up the errors to storm through the final two games.

With that, the Roadrunners definitely appear primed for the postseason.

"This is exactly what I had hoped would happen for our team,'' Hendricks said. "We turned this corner this weekend as we start to get ready to make our push. There is nothing, really, we can make better about this team, except to continue to gain confidence."
