Flying in the clouds Metro student takes part in Reno Air Show one year after event was cancelled because of 9/11 Ann Trudeau 1

t. 路

The Metropolitan Greg Gedney a Metro and University of Colorado at Denver multi-degree seeking student, looked forward to over a week of highpowered antique air racing, but he was actually going to do his homework.

He was at the 38th Reno Air Race last year participating as a support crew member of "Sea Hawk'', the Race 21 Team in the event. The plane, a 1940 Hawker Sea Fury, is a reconditioned British made fighter-bomber that is piston driven and owned by Joseph H. Thibodeau. He was writing a report for an anthropology class on the psyche of the pilots, the crew, spectators, vendors and others who have attended this race over the years.

Gedney, 42, has been a licensed pilot for I 0 years, and carries commercial, instrument and multi-engine ratings. But by the time he got rated he didn't feel confident in his foundation for safety, so he enrolled in the Aerospace Sciences program.

He said he did it to fill in the voids in his education. " I'm very glad I did," he said.

With his multi-background of anthropology, aerospace, electrical and mechanical education that will eventually include a masters in Archeology, some would say he's a Renaissance Man. Gedney states that he is just well-rounded.

He was certainly prepared to observe the Reno Air Race of200l.

At the Air Race on 9/11 Ground crew and pilots were working to get their planes in the air for the qualifying flights .

"Overhead, I see five Formula Ones in the pattern with more being brought out onto the flight line," said Gedney. "There is nothing quite like the sound of sleek war birds slicing through

During the 2002 Reno National Air Races at Stead Air Field north of Reno its entry number was 'Race 21' and it won the Silver Unlimited Divisi on averaging 388.242 miles per hour over the 56 mile, seven lap course in eight minutes and 56 seconds. In the race, and in the above photo taken over the Colorado San Juan Mountains Sept. 21, 2001 , Sea Hawk is piloted by owner Joe Thibodeau. the air, a few hundred feet above and to the front of you; engines free to run wild, to reach that flat-out, piercing growl that cuts straight through your body."

Two people ran onto the runway in front of the Reno Home Pylon. One person was waving a red flag, the other a black flag. Someone commented that it was highly unusual. It meant all airplanes must land immediately. 路 The Reno Air Race was now affected by

9/1 l.

Gedney's report said, "The vast majority of the crews and the fans all stay at the hotel , the old MGM. Being a casino, there is normally a lot of gambling. On the day after 9/11 there was

virtually no one there. But, from an international standpoint there was an area that has in it a series of large big screen television , 5 by 6 feet,,over 200 seats w ith individual TVs in front of them. They can bet on any sports event any where in the world. And what I noticed that was most interesting, that on Sept. 12th, not only was area completely abandoned, there was not a single sports event on ... anywhere in the world.

Everything was blank; there was nothing going on. There was only one TV screen showing ... replay of the 767 going into the WTC and the fireball that resulted from it. It just struck home to me that it was a world-wide event.

Nobody was playing; nobody was having fun; it was gambling-it was not business as usual.

"Struck me as a metaphor, as a world-wide metaphor," Gedney said. "No one wanted to play. I was looking at a world shut down."

On the flight line they organized and cleaned up the planes which could no longer fly because the sky was shut down to them. " I look around at the pits around me; there is no one to be seen. A small flight of birds can be heard passing between the hangers. The silence is what you feel now," Gedney said.

Gedney also observed 90 minutes after the towers fell some of the people he had been taking notes on. The older WW II-looking vets with baseball hats that declared they were vets were those that were 55 to 65 or older. These vets were the only ones who didn't watch the unfolding events on TV. They were washing the planes, talking, but mostly turning their backs on the TV. "It was: this is your generation's Pearl Harbor - we're gong on with our life," he said.

Gedney thought they may be having a flashback to the self-defense mechanisms they had during the war: 路Terrible things are going on around us. but we still have to continue with our jobs."

"They went to work!" Gedney said.

"Whereas everybody else stopped dead in their tracks and couldn't pry themselves from the scenes in front of them."

At the Air Race one year later Last year Gedney saw a very ill-looking vet who pushed his shopping cart filled with newspapers, selling them. As 9/ 11 unfolded, he refilled his cart and kept selling the papers to those who were starved for any information.

Pushing his heavy cart over and over again.

Gedney said that he didn't see the vet this year and s assumed he has died.

He also noticed a Japanese family that was there taking photos that were walking around with fear in their eyes after the attack. This year the family is back, the dad with a press pass, taking photos as before. Still being part of the Reno Air Race family.

He said that many pilots who race have now lost their job with the airlines. But the outpouring of support of the 230,000 strong family of the Reno Air Race has helped the institution recover from the almost disasterous effects of 9m on the race's finances. They were able to come up with a S800,000 purse to be distributed among the pilots and teams. It doesn't cover their costs, but it helps.

By the way, not only has this international race survived, but Gedney's team plane won in its category by flying a 56 mile-seven lap race in eight minutes and 56 seconds.

Metro's tnost popular Computer information Systems, Behavioral Science lead list of mostgraduated majors

Students can pick from 49 majors at Metro, and some are more popular than others. The top three bachelor's degree programs selected by graduating 2001-2002 Metro seniors are Computer Information Systems, Behavioral Science and Criminal Justice.

The most popular degree, Computer Information Systems, graduated 176 seniors for the 2001-2002 term.

"We have and incredible mix of faculty with various computer information systems backgrounds," said Abel Moreno, Computer Information Systems chair. "They are up-todate on what the latest is, and they attend conferences on the annual basis."

The CIS program also bas a serious business aspect to it. This program is composed of about 30 credit hours of business courses, so the students are exposed to accounting, marketing, management, finance and statistics.

"This component of the degree not only makes them valuable in the sense that they have an addition to a CIS component but they also have a business degree to offer to prospective employers," said Moreno.

Moreno attributed the success of the CIS department to its curriculum and faculty. He said the department tries to offer courses graduates will need when they enter the workforce.

"Students appreciate that," said Moreno.

"They talk to us and they know that by the time they graduate, they need little or no training and they are ready to hit the ground running."

Census gives picture of average students

,

Overall enrollment at Metro has risen 5 percent in 2002, according to the new Fall 2002 census. The census is made up of data collected by the Office of Instituional Research.

The study also outlined the average countries of foreign students, and the ages, gender and status of all students.

"We were just talking about (the enrollment increase)," Metro student Shaqaiq Birashk said, pointing to friend and soon-to-be Metro student Ayah Sasi, as they sat in front of Central Classroom.

"There are a lot of students this semester~' Birashk said, "but the more the better. As long as I get a seat in front of the class!"

Birashk, a native of Afghanistan, lives in Colorado with her family.

Internationa ~ students make up I percent of Metro's population, the census shows. Of that I percent, 29 percent a·re Japanese, 13 percent are Taiwanese, and 11 percent are Australian, filling up the top three spots.

A t\:{etro student who would only say that her last name is "Kim" was not enthusiastic about the population increase.

"Lots of people are late to class because they can't find a parking spot," Kim said. "It takes forever to get to class anyway, because you have to walk around so many people just standing around." .

Kim, 21 , fits into the majority of the student population agewise.

The 7,931 Metro students ag·ed 20- to 24-years-old, make up the most common age group, the census said. Only 3,589 students make up the second biggest category: ages 25 to 29. They are followed, in order, by under-20-yearolds, 30- to 34-year-olds, over-40-yearolds, and finally, 35- to 39-year-olds.

Tina McNally, an accounting major, noticed the population increase.

"But I see it across the board," McNally said, "not just older students coming back because of a bad economy, but an influx of traditional students."

McNally is correct. According to the census, the increase in population for the 19- to 20-year-olds is 5 percent, the same as the overall increase. That age group is considered "traditional" in colleges.

The gender statistics have stayed the same, at 57 percent male to 43 percent female.

"Yes, that's a good statistic," said Rob Henning, a third-year Metro student.

"I've noticed that - it kind of makes my head spin!"

The study also concluded that 58 percent of the student population are fulltime students, whereas last year only· 56 percent were.

Heart disease .can start young It is never too early to get tested, doctors say Travis M. Combs The Metropolitan

(

College-aged students should be screened for heart disease according to a press release issued by the American Heart Association.

Over 4 percent of people between the ages of 20 and 24 have some form of cardiovascular disease.

Screenings should begin for college students as early as 20 years old and continuing on a regular basi s every five years until the age of 35, at which time screenings should take place annually.

"Jn the 2002 release, we are focusing on the younger adults," said Rhonda Whittie, M.D., Master of Science and Public Health at the Health Center at Auraria Campus.

Although the Health Center has only seen a handful of diagnosed cardiovascular cases within two years among 20- to 24-year-old students, early screening could prevent a first heart attack or stroke.

The report stresses that among this age group, multiple areas of slight risk can be a greater factor than any one area of high risk in contributing to heart disease.

"It's not just one big thing, it's a large number of little things," said Whittie.

The Health Center at Auraria Campus offers risk stratifications that screen for cardiovascular disease.

The risk factors include high cholesterol levels, diabetes mellitus and a family history of heart disease.

The lifestyle factors of individual students also have a large impact in cardiovascular heath or illness.

news briefs Speaker to share stories, experiences about China Ernie.Heyman, Metro instructor, delivered an eight lecture series on the American public school system at Huaiyin Teachers' College in Huai'an, China, in May 2002.

Heyman will share stories, pictures and artifacts Sept. 27, in WC 258.

The presentation is open to anyone who is interested in cultural awareness and understanding. â&#x20AC;˘(

San Francisco poet to read at festival -

Poet and physician C. Dale Young will do a reading as part of the Auraria Poetry Festival Sept. 20 in the King Center Recital Hall.

Young, a medical doctor living in San Francisco, is poetry editor of New England Review and has gained wide recognition for his debut volume of poetry "The Day Underneath the Day."

Shannon Davidson -The Metropolitan Student Health Center Certified Medical Assistant Sonja Coleman-Hariss provides Community College of Denver student Irma Linda Gomez with a blood-pressure screening Sept. 9 in our student Health Center. Blood pressure monitoring is on way to help prevent heart disease.

"Smoking is the main thing we advise students to give up," said Whittie.

A diet high in fruits and vegetables coupled with moderate amounts of lean cut meat can also contribute to reducing future risks.

"A French fry every now and then is okay, but fries every day are not good," said

Whittie.

Along with a healthy diet, students are also advised to include regular amounts of moderate-intensity exercise, preferably everyday. Moderate exercise doesn't necessarily mean running or aerobics.

"The American Heart Association recom-

Mr. Bin Laden, Two great quotes from Paci no in Scarface: • "No women, no children."

• "Say hello to my little friend."

Staff Columnist All of the people with whom I've had a long conversation know I'm a sports guy. That's why I am releasing my picks for the college and pro football championships. Now, these are strictly my opinions and no one else's. They are based off schedule and just who has the best players in key positions. If your stars perfonn you should win.

We will start with the pros. The first two weeks will be behind us when this is released. That's cool. it gives me a legit chance to see the majority of the teams pl~y and I can give an almost honest assessment of the league.

Every team has a chance but I'm limiting my picks to three teams from each conference that should be able to pull out from everyone else. I'm also picking two surprise teams that may be able to sneak into the Super Bowl this year. The first team I'll speak on is the Denver Broncos. The big thing with them is if Greise doesn't perfonn, then they don't have a chance of winning, but the defense will get them far this year. It probably won't lose a game for them. The offense has to perform up to par. If that happens, they will be able to beat any team in the AFC. The same rule goes in effect for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their defense is superb and their running game is also good. It also falls into Kardell Stewart's hands. If he falters this year, then expect the championship hopes of Pittsburgh to join him. Oakland is too old and they shouldn't get past the wildcard round. Indianapolis has no defense so they won't be able to win it.

My surprise pick of the AFC is the Tennessee Titans. The return of a healthy Eddie George and a healthy Steve Mcnair means problems for the AFC. The defense lost Jevon Kearse but the have a suitable replacement.

Kearse is back in 6-8 weeks and that means Kevin Carter's spot is in trouble if he doesn't live up to potential.

Regardless I like Tennessee to win the conference.

is over. They had a nice run but Philadelphia is breathing down their neck. You also have Tampa Bay and San Francisco looking extremely good. My pick in the NFC is a little tougher because I believe the NFC is tougher than the AFC. The three teams l mentioned above I like because they all have great

that finished two years ahead of schedeule. The defense is ready as well as the offense. They have Terrell Owens at receiver who is the best receiver not named Randy Moss in the entire league. My surprise team is Minnesota. Randy Moss and Dante Culpepper are the future of the NFL. They are really the present as long as

If Griese doesn't perform, the Broncos won't have a chance of winning, but their defense will get them far. defenses. Tampa Bay's line is a little older now, but I think Groden will instill in them the same attitude he gave the Raiders. The main reason Tampa Bay will win is because of Groden and the improvements he's made at key positions, especially at running back and wide receiver.

Philadelphia has lost Hollis Thomas for the season and they also lost Jeremiah Trotter via free agency and they are still going to be tough.

McNabb is the truth at quarterback and he must be respected. San Francisco has a rebuilding program

the defense doesn't let other teams run amuck.

College is a little more easier. I don't see anybody beating Miami.

However I know that somebody has to. No college team is that good. The only team that can match Miami with talent is Texas. The problem for Texas is that they have to play Oklahoma.

For the first time in a long time it seems like the polls have the teams ranked correctly. My pick to win it all was Oklahoma until they lost their quarterback. My pick now is Texas!

They are just too deep.

Well, we cried , puked, had rippled stomachs, purchased guns and were quite anxious from your little prank a yeark ago. Many of us even thought those Al Qaeda bastards would come back, hunt and haunt us down again. Tough shit. The American resolve exists with the remembrance of everyone who lost their lives a year ago last week .

From the innocent people in New York and The Pentagon to those on Flight 93, who reportedly beat the crap out of their hijackers, you have my heart, Kudos to America and its resolve!

Liberals... go shopping for weapons .

Conservatives, please, historically, remember your party was once "liberal."

There's little time for sitting on the commode. I dare anyone to try to hijack the next bus, plane or vehicle I'm kicking back in towards any destination. (Please, please I dare you to try).

Let us not forget the lives that have been spent defending this great country-currently and in the past. Stand tall: "Kill'em all and let God sort'em out."

And, please, you so-called "Liberals," get off your pansyassed civil disobedience stance. You know where civil disobedience got JFK, Christ, Gandhi and the others. Peace can only come from Chairman Mao's gun.

Myriad of .food, music, culture 2002 Fall Fest allows huge, diverse crowd to become involved A rmando M a nzanares

The Metropolitan Fall Fest, spotlighti ng worldwide diversity, happened this week while hundreds of students, faculty, staff and passers by had the chance to see Auraria's worldwide diversity in motion this week.

Fall Fest

l -路

.:'-....-

..

Fall Fest, essentially, is a cultural festival with food, music, arts and crafts and a variety of performances provided for the students of Auraria. The purpose is to orient the students to services and pro-

grams the campus offers and to provide ways to become involved members of the campus.

Planning the event took a few months. lt started half way through the summer with all the appropriate committees meeting, discussing schedules and approving them.

Several major sponsors from campus were responsible for the event: Metro Student Activities, University of Colorado at Denver Student Life, Tivoli Student Union, the Health Center at Auraria and Campus Recreation.

Brooke Dilling of Metro Student Activities was excited by the turnout.

"Fall fest is a good introduction to the campus," she said. "There 's a lot of student organizations here, a lot of departments here - it's one of the more fun events as well," she said.

"It's the beginning to the year, we want to get people out and mingling and socializing and letting them know being on campus is a fun place to be," she said.

"Raising awareness that there are some really cool events that people can really take part in," Dilling finished, we!-

coming her student employees to the conversation.

Metro, along with the two other institutions on this campus, is configured to accommodate the commuter student.

There is not any on-campus housing, and putting an event together with this in mind is a bit trying.

Timing, performers and booths that suit the student make-up of this campus is like trying to figure how to to get the square block into the circle hole.

"A lot of thought is put into trying to make it inclusive: ethnicity, age ... a lot of effort is put into that," said Erin Mann, Metro student and Student Activities program coordinator.

This is the first time I have seen that many students convene on this campus at one time. It is very encouraging to see the campus organizations, local nonprofits, student life organizations and academic programs from all three schools come together for these two days.

It shows the students that opportunities to become involved and meet their neighbors and become acquainted should be and are a part of the college experience.

This is an annual event. However, last year's festival was cancelled due to the events of Sept. 11.

The 2002 Fall Fest World Friendship Festival offered students, faculty and staff plenty of food, music, shopping and information booths Sept. 17.

Danay Holland-The Metropolitan Metro men's soccer coach Brian Crookham enjoys spending time with his wife Michelle and their five-month old son Connor at their Highlands Ranch home Sept. 14. that information, so I shouldn't. comment. The only thing that I can tell you is, I'm not one that lives off big regrets. Once you simplify your life, the clearer it comes and everybody needs a common dominator.

"I have two things in my life: my family and this profession," Dunlap added, with his feet up on his desk drawer, wearing a polo shirt and gym shorts. "I don't try to confuse it by doing 68 things or by being anything other than who I am.

I like who I am. I live everyday like that, and I know that I need to improve. I don't care ifl had $6 million in the bank, I'd drive the same vehicle, I'd wear the same clothes. It means nothing to me, because those aren't important things. I'm just about the who, and the who in my world are my family and this organization and this institution. It is really easy to be confident and move each day, when you are not constantly confused about who you are and why you arc on this earth.

I don't suffer fools thoughts on any of that."

Dunlap spendS a week with each of his children in the off-season and includes his family with everything he does. He often takes one of his children to road games, enrolls them into the basketball camps he runs for Metro and debriefs with his wife, Mollie, after games. For those looking for a lighter cross to carry, Dunlap offers this warning.

"Don't ever get married, because you will be safer.... The tough~st thing thing th_a t you will

ever do in your life is to be married with one person during the run. There is nothing more difficult and nothing more rewarding, and that's what life is-a contradiction."

Although Crookbam admits he's boastful, grumpy and defensive after a loss, Michelle thinks he does a good job of not bringing his game emotions home. She still roots for a Metro win, just in case his emotions follow him. To her, Crookharn has a more glaring problem. Granted he is new at this, but changing diapers, handling spit-up and slowing down are just not his gig.

"I can't imagine Brian staying home (to take care of the baby)," Michelle said. "He can, but it would be ugly. It's kind of funny to watch him get Connor ready in the morning. It's hilarious.

He'll get him all dressed and then Connor will spit up all over the place and then he has to go change his clothes. And if Connor doesn't eat fast enough in the morning-Connor kind of takes his time and smiles-and Brian is like, 'Hurry. You have to eat. We have to go.'

"And I lay out Connor's clothes, because I'm afraid of what Brian would pick," Michelle added. "He might just throw something together that doesn't match. He can put whatever he wants on himself, but the bady kind of reflects me too, so I'm a little bit more careful about that."

Sometimes a father, just like a player, learns bes_t b:t taking b~y steps.

Women remain unbeaten on road Roadrunners look to grab first place against No. 11 Regis at home Donald Smith The Metropolitan The Metro women's soccer team flexed its dominance by walking into the houses of Mesa State and Fort Lewis to defeat both squads. With the wins, the Roadrunners increased their winning streak to three games and their road streak to five games. They are now 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference and are currently ranked fifth in the Midwest Region, while nationally ranked Regis University, who has the same record, is ranked first in the regional poll. Both teams.square off in a battle for first place in the RMAC at 4 p.m. Sept. 20 on the Auraria Field.

Regis won the RMAC title after an undefeated conference season last year and is ranked 11th nationally.

"They also have a couple All-Americans," Metro head coach Danny Sanchez said, "so I guess everything concerns me when we play them. I'll be interested, just like everybody else, to see how we step and how we play and how we adjust to Regis' higher level of play."

When asked about the recent winning streaks and the fast success after last year's dismal six-win season, neither Sanchez nor sophomore forward Joslyn Brough sounded surprised.

"We have a very good team," Brough said. "We work well

--

r

together and the chemistry of the team involves a lot of skill and the coaching helps as the coach puts the right players on the field at the right times."

The Roadrunners had to overcome adversity in their win over Mesa (2-1; 1-1) Sept. 13. They trailed 1-0 early in the first half and 2-1 with 33 minutes left, before the offensive kicked in.

Sophomore Meisha Pyke and junior Shaunna Stefan each scored three minutes Amy Leich liter apart to give Metro a 3-2 lead and the eventual win.

Brough scored early on in the first half to tie the game at 1-1.

"That was obviously a big win for us," Sanchez said. "Mesa is a very solid team and to get behind twice and come back, especially on the road, was a big conference win for us. We showed a lot of character to respond every time that they scored and to get the result on the road like that."

Although the Roadrunners' offense had to wake up and retaliate in the Mesa game, the same cannot be said for the Fort Lewis game.

Metro's offense was wide awake for this one; a game never in doubt, especially with forward Amy Leichliter providing a hat-trick in the 5-2 victory over the Skyhawks Sept. 15.

As a freshman, Leichliter is already taking control of goalies.

She has scored an RMAC-leading seven goals with one assist for the season thus far. She also is the conference leader in points, is in the

top 10 in several different offensive categories and has helped place the Roadrunners in a tie with No. 11 Regis for first place in the RMAC. "She has a good nose for the goal and she has good chase speed," Sanchez said ofLeichliter. "She is able to get behind defenders and create chances. She is dangerous and that is what you are looking for in a striker."

Leichliter along with Brough, Pyke, Janelle Brandt and Melissa Miller are some of the reasons why the Roadrunners have outscored its foes 21-8 and have averaged a RMAC-best 3.5 goals a game.

All of the goals, however, came in the five road wins. Metro has yet to score on its home turf. They will come into the match against Regis with momentum, but will the high scoring offense make a home appearance?

"I think that if we play our game as well as we have been playing the goals will keep coming and hopefully they' ll come against Regis," Brough answered.

Metro and Regis rank one-two in the conference in offense, but Regis has allowed three fewer goals (five) and the Roadrunners' defense has been suspect at times.

"We've done well, but we've had some mental lapses and we've given up some soft goals," Sanchez said. "Obviously, starting this weekend at home with Regis and Southern Colorado, we can't give up soft goals. We have to make teams earn them and we've been fortunate to get away with it so far, but our margin for error is going to keep shrinking as the season goes on." ' With an upset win over Regis, the Roadrunners will not only take control of the RMAC, but can might jump into the top 25 national rankings for the first time since 1998.

The Roadrunners will finish the weekend home stand against Southern Colorado (2-3-1; 2-1) Sept. 22.

Eric Eames contributed to this report.

Men drop below .500, lose star goalie for year Eddie Culp The Metropolitan The Metro men' s soccer team split its games over the weekend but they lost a key player for the season.

The Roadrunners defeated University of Colorado-Colorado Springs 3-1 Sept.13, but lost a tough one two days later to the University of Southern Colorado 3-2.

Tue real loss was felt Sept. 13 when the team was notified before its game against the Mountain Lions th3t it would be without the services of star goalkeeper, Eric Butler, due to a tear of the articular cartilage in his left knee.

"It was a surprise, but I am excited to get it taken care of and to come back next year," said Butler, who was granted an injury redshirt for the season after playing in only four games. "It was unlucky."

"It's very disappointing," Metro coach Brian Crookham said.

"Obviously, when you lose one of the best players in the conference at that position, it hurts you. We are fortunate we found out the day we did. Ifhe had played one more game, he couldn't have redshirted. So now he will be able to redshirt and comeback, which is positive, if there is anything positive to come out of this."

Metro's record dropped below .500 overall and they find themselves two games back on the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference leader board. They are 2-3-1 overall and 1-3 in the RMAC. Butler allowed the fewest goals in the RMAC last season and recently broke Metro's career record for saves with 222. He also set

a single season record for shutouts with 8.5 in 2000, and holds career records in shutouts (18), wins (29), and goals against average (0.81) at Metro.

Butler was having an uncharacteristically poor season allowing eight goals in four games, but he did have the only win for the Roadrunners this season before its win over CU-Colorado Springs.

"This (injury) is definitely not a set back," said Butler, who is unsure when or how the injury occured. "I think the team will do fine without me.

It's just a little speed bump for me for the next couple months. But I will be back for the spring.... If I played one more game I couldn't have redshirted, so I'm glad that I caught it when I did. It's just a little set back. For the next month I won't be as mobile as I want to be, but I am excited about next year and I'll file photo/ShannOll Davidson -The Metropoliton come back strong next year."

Crookham believes that either Scott Plaskett or Metro's star goalkeeper Eric Butler, shown here during a preseason freshman Zach Franklin will have to step up and practice Aug. 12, injured his left knee and will be out for the season. seize the opportunity for the team. Plaskett played in the second half to score all three of its goals on 15 shots, while holdboth games over the weekend. ing the Lions to only six shots. ln the win over CU-Colorado Springs on Friday the 13th, Metro Against Southern Colorado, Metro was down 2-1 at the half, but displayed an vaunted offensive attack, launcfung 22 shots and getting ·goals from Thomas Lowe, Brett Thomas and Zack Cousins.

:M etro repays uptolVn rival Eric Eames The Metropolitan

•

r

·,...

For the Metro volleyball team the pursuit of perfection and unity has seeped down to the recruits from the veterans, not just through speeches, but through osmosis as well.

Case in point: On Friday the 13th, in a rivalry as old as Elvira, uptown and downtown adversaries Metro and Regis University squared off in the second of three matches this season.

In the first dispute (Sept.7), the 21st ranked Rangers forced fed the Roadrunners some of its own prescription to win in a fivegame match (30-26, 22-30, 30-22, 26-30 and I 5-7) that wasn't as close as the score illustrated.

"Last week we didn't serve very aggressively," Metro coach Debbie Hendricks said. "Offensively there wasn't a mentality of taking it at our opponent aggressively and we kind oflive and die by that. I felt Regis really turned the tables on us last (week).

They served us off the floor and they passed well and ran their offense at will. It was almost like the situation flipped. " Like a clock's pendulum, this time Metro was on the upswing and in "system," dropping Regis in three games (31-29, 30-28 and 30- I 6) at the Regis Fieldhouse Sept. 13. The win moved Metro up three spots in the national poll to No. 16.

It was also the Roadrunners' (7-4) second Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference win in as many matches. They beat Colorado Christian (0-9; 0-2) in the RMAC opener Sept. 10, 3020, 30-20 and 30-25. Regis is 6-4 and 1-1 in the RMAC. Returning letter-winners Jessy Roy, Bonnie DeLaughter and Devon Herron led the way for the Roadrunners against Regis, while newcomers Nicki Fusco, Shawna Gilbert, Beth Vercic, Angela Golesh and Andrea Highstreet offered plenty of support, especially defensively.

Fusco (5.5), Gilbert (3.5) Vercic (2.5), and DeLaughter (1.5) combined for 13 of the teams' 15 blocks, a new match-high for the team since rally scoring was introduced in 2001. Also, with .five players posting double figures, the Roadrunners' 67 digs was a season-high for a three-game match. Roy (13 digs) Golesh (13), Herron ( 12), Fusco (12) and Highstreet ( 11) combined for 61 of those digs.

"We have a lot of new players, and it is hard as returners to try and give the new people that fuel, that fire between the rivals," said senior DeLaughter, who added nine kills. "When they beat us last week they gave us something to fight for. We wantedlo-prove that we could do this, beat them in three (games) and get the others motivated (for this rivalry). But it's harder to

(~ ~~:

do that if you haven't been here before."

Every volleyball coach far and wide talks about the "system," which involves every facet of the game and drives squads to victory. It is the muse of volleyball. To get it is to become flawless. It requires players to be aggressive, yet disciplined at the same; to be excited, yet calm at the same time.

"You have to keep doing the small things," DeLaughter said. "You can't let down and that is part of being consistent.

You have to keep pushing and not look up at the scoreboard and say 'Well, we are up I 0 points, we can relax now.' You can't do that. You play every ball as ifit is the last point."

At odd times, the momentum tick-tocked between Metro and Regis in the first two games. ln game one, the Roadrunners were up five at 19-14, when Regis stormed back to take a 2420 lead. With five straight kill s, Metro took the lead again 2624. Then lost it. Had it. Lost it.

"With this big rivalry between us, both teams always get up to play each other, so it's always going to go back and forth like that," Delaughter said.

With the score tied 29-29, Roy (12 kills) closed the match by spiking Herron 's set down the line. Herron, who leads all RMAC setters with a 13.00 assist average, recorded 30 of her 38 assists in games one and three.

The second game was a reprise of the first. Metro took a seven point led 25-18, before Regis chiseled away.

Boom. Boom. Boom. Three straight kills by Regis, two by Julianna Bayley, tied the match 28-28, before Delaughter nailed a spike down the line and Roy promptly ended it again with an emphatic kill off a miss-dig by Regis. A sharp and well-placed serve from Fusco sent Regis' Holly Yamada sprawling. The junior dug the ball, but it sailed over the net where Roy was waiting, licking her chops.

"The serve and pass game was huge," Regis' acting head coach Michelle Buckner said. "That's the whole part of this game in rally scoring. lfyou serve tough and pass well, you'll have a better chance to win. If you serve weak and pass weak, you can't win."

Metro hit a grove in game three rattling off five and six straight points at a time for a 30-16 win. But it was Metro's defense that stood out, holding Regis to a .070 hitting percentage in the final two games and .114 overall.

"We blocked very well with them and we were disciplined," Hendricks said. "For the most part we ran our system.

We were in system through out the match and we fe lt that was the biggest key."
