The story behind John Alexander

a familiar face at Auraria Campus

By Joella Bauman jbauma17@msudenver.edu

It’s a familiar childhood tale, but John Alexander tells it differently.

Once upon a time, a foul creature drew air into its large brooding chest and — with a huff and a puff — shattered a pig’s wooden abode. Just like that, the little pig

was homeless.

“Show me a homeless character, and you’ll see someone dealing with circumstances outside of their control,” said Alexander, local vendor of the Denver Voice, public speaker and mentor.

The story of the wolf and the pig is one which Alexander has told many times as part of his goal to educate people and humanize

the face of the homeless experience. He told it once more as three cameras rolled and Alexander spoke about his life and connections to white-collar crime, which led to drug addiction and homelessness.

Beer Comes Home

MSU Denver becomes nation’s first university with its own brewery, beer programs together

By Cassie Reid creid13@msudenver.edu A pub is not the image that comes to mind when envisioning a classroom. Yet, Auraria Campus has welcomed back the Tivoli Brewery as a resource for students in the school’s Brewing Industry Operations program, making it the first campus in the nation with an active brewery.

“This old place has great bones,” said Dieter Foernster, head brewer for Tivoli Brewing Co. “A lot of people from a lot of trades were brought in to rebuild this place, and it’ll bring a lot of people - students and alums - back to the Tiv...to sit and have a beer.”

President Stephen Jordan officially announced the two new majors — Brew Hub Operations and Brewery Operations, at the grand opening, Aug. 22. Students in the programs will work in the

brewery if they are studying beer science and manufacturing and in the pub if studying distribution.

“Technically, in front of the glass, we are Tivoli distribution,” said Scott Kerkmans, Brewing Industry Operations program coordinator. “Behind we have the brewery, but customers will get to see the very inner workings of brewing.”

Customers will be able to see both elements in play, as the 30-barrel copper brew kettle is boxed in by floor-to-ceiling windows. One of the eight screens adorning the pub’s walls will be dedicated to live-streaming what is behind the kettle that normally blocks customers from seeing around it, including pH levels of the brew, temperature controls and output measurements. The cellar will also be accessible for watching students monitor equipment and transport kegs.

“It’s what we call secondary

education,” said Corey Marshall, CEO and founder of Tivoli Brewing Co. “We educate the students working, yes, but people can see all of the processes outside. There’s more going into brewing and more science-involved than people think.”

Microbreweries recently established themselves as part of Colorado’s cultural identity. The success of microbreweries can be traced back to the ever-present groundbreakers at Tivoli-as they were the very first brewery in the state.

The Brew Pub itself is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday. While only a few students are currently in the program and employed by the brewery, the students are eager for this opportunity to put their education to use.

“We are in a shifting industry,” Marshall said. “We have a responsibility to educate the next generation of brewers and distributors.”

At last! New ConnectU intergrates student experience

By Justin David Tate jtate15@msudenver.edu For years, students new to MSU Denver’s ConnectU portal have found themselves puzzled and lost.

For hours, students try to decipher the web of clicks and links necessary to get of information on registration and financial aid.

“If you have to find a page, you have to go through like 20 different pages to get to it,” said hospitality major Lauren Johnson about her

first semester at MSU Denver.

Today, MSU Denver Chief Information Officer James Lyall believes that time of confusion will cease to be.

“For the first time, students will be able to log into MSU Office 365, Blackboard and financial aid, banner related-things with one username and password instead of having multiple usernames and passwords,” Lyall said.

Lyall formed a vision and a team roughly one year ago with a small goal in mind: Make students’

lives easier.

One of the ways they are doing that is by creating a brand new version of ConnectU that serves as a one-page dashboard for most if not all necessary online services a student may need to access.

The new ConnectU is currently available for students to try by visiting the ConnectU login and entering their Net ID. (The first part of the student email before the @ sign and their Net ID password.)

Since students have started adopting the interim ConnectU,

Lyall said he’s already seen positive results.

“We’re seeing a dramatic decrease in the number of calls and contacts to the help desk for password resets,” Lyall said.

Computer science major Armand Sadozai has taken a look at the new interim ConnectU and finds it to be a more enjoyable experience for him as a student.

“I think it looks a lot easier to navigate than the other one,” Sadozai said. “The other one was kind of cluttered. This one seems

more direct.”

The new interim ConnectU will become permanent in “the coming weeks” according to Lyall as the old one is phased out.

Lyall said he is pleased with the progress of the new site, but maintains that this is only the beginning.

For now, he believes the new ConnectU is helping serve the purpose of why he came to work for MSU Denver: helping students have a more comfortable experience in school.

50-YEAR REVIVAL

tivoli celebrates the return of its brewery, restaurant Story and photo by Justin David Tate jtate15@msudenver.edu

Stephanie Rayman, manager of the Tivoli Brewery restaurant expected at least the 800 guests who RSVP’d to show up for the reopening on August 22.

Over a thousand people, hungry for the traditional salty indulgence of pub food and thirsty for the kind of craft beer that gets natives of the brewery hotspot of Denver excited, arrived opening day.

“Everyone is really excited that we’re bringing back this pre-prohibition style beer as well as this historical brewery back into action and bringing it into the 21st century,” Rayman said.

seemed to leave an impression as well.

Customers at the beer trying the mushrooms and asadero cheese had wide eyes and slowed their mouth to a near-stop in order to absorb what they loudly exclaimed as, “delicious,” “yummy,” or simply, “hmmm.”

For the cooking staff, the Tivoli brought on a veteran staff from Tom’s Diner that was led by executive chef Rick Prow, a chef with 25 years of experience. He had a simple goal going into the day and according to the reactions of the patrons inside the restaurant, he achieved it.

“I want big, bold indulgent food that every time you take a bite, you want to drink a beer whether that’s spicy, sweet or salty, any of those things that make you thirsty,” Prow said.

During the festivities, bands played and speeches were made in the Turnhalle room down the hall from the Tivoli restaurant, including a recitation of the “beer prayer” by Tivoli CEO Corey Marshall.

“Give us this day our foamy head and forgive us our spillages, as we forgive those who spill against us,” recited Marshall, unable to hide his persistent smile. “And lead us not into incarceration but deliver us from hangovers, For thine is the beer, the bitter, and the lager, forever and ever.

Starbucks beats Dazbog in student poll for best coffee

jtate15@msudenver.edu Dazbog has long been a prominent source for the coffee needs of the students on Auraria Campus. Located near the Student Success Building, Dazbog went unchallenged until now. With the opening of Starbucks this month, competition is brewing.

With Dazbog’s position as the top supplier of cups of joe for the campus at stake, we here at the Metropolitan conducted a poll of 77 students to see whose coffee reigns supreme.

If someone were to come in with a sleeping bag or pillows, Phibbs said that type of activity would catch their attention.

Flirt with failure: Cultivating tools for success ideas that society has conditioned in you since your birth. Along this journey you will face a mountain of challenges, fears, heartaches and failures. This all sounds scary and can convince you to remain as cautious and calculating as possible in the hope of avoiding such pains. If you take the route of cautiousness, you may come out unscathed, but you will lack something important to your being, your essence. You will lack life experience that is your own.

By Aaron Atencio aatenc11@msudenver.edu This is not a promotion for lack of effort in your academic career.

Instead, it is a gift from life that if you chose to accept it, you will transcend the person you are now and reinvent yourself. The path you are about to embark on is a journey, it is a moment in your existence that will set the tone for how you will come to navigate your way through life.

You are entering a new world, a world where you carry a load of self accountability and selfguidance, along with the load of

You have welcomed a storm upon yourself, a storm essential to the creation of your essence. born, you have been the product of your environment and the ideas imposed upon you by society.

These ideas tell you that there is a blueprint to achieving success.

Society tells us that if you choose to follow this blueprint, you too can be successful. You can have the big house, the fast car and a “hot” significant other. You can live the American dream.

For some of you, this may be the dream in your heart.

If so, pursue it with undying commitment. Though, for others, your gut and heart may be telling you otherwise. Your friends may urge you to do one thing and your family may be pushing you down another path, while society and its “norms” are pulling you in a different direction.

For those of you struggling with this, turn off your brain, it is simply processing past information. Feel your gut and follow your heart, it is rooted in this moment. When you do this, you are creating something brand new. During this experience, you have removed yourself from the arena of comparison, this narcissistic, neurotic feedback loop by which society tells us to gauge our success with the success of others. You’re creating your own life experience, you are creating your own dream.

You have welcomed a storm upon yourself, a storm essential to the creation of your essence.

Within this storm you will face obstacles that will test your bravery and resolve. On this journey, you will fail over and over again. So

what do you do when faced with this storm? You stay resolute on your journey, you go deeper into your storm and fail over and over.

In the face of this failure, you will grow. The growth you experience creates the foundation in which you earn the tools to cultivate success for yourself.

It will give you something that can’t be measured by our social standards --the big house, the looks of your partner or the price of your car -- instead it gives you the two most important tools in conquering life. It gives you faith in yourself and courage.

These obstacles, these fears that life will throw your way will have no choice but to move aside because you have stepped out into the world with faith in yourself and shown true courage. You have done the bravest thing a person can do, you have taken ownership of your heart and to paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson, you stayed true to yourself in a world that is trying to change you.

So live dangerously. Create your own dream and experiences.

Bask in your new found courage and enjoy the moment that is yours right now.

The ugly model: The crazy costs of college textbooks

MetStaff

industry doesn’t subscribe to the traditional mode of commerce.

A widely customary format is the “manufacturer to consumer” model, which is the simple concept of one party provides a product, and a second party buys that product. There may be third parties involved which will transport the product from point A to point B, which drives up the price.

However, this basic model of commerce, which applies to nearly every transaction you made today, does not apply to the college textbook industry.

The publishers of college textbooks are the manufacturers, but we students are not technically the consumers, our teacher are.

Accordingly, the faculty should take this responsibility seriously.

In this deformed consumer model, the faculty is essentially the one “buying” the book with money from the student’s pocket. Students are basically forced to buy this book to fulfill the requirements of

the class, and the publishers know this. Thus they are able to slap that three-digit price tag on the textbook you — literally — need.

The bookstores claim that their profit margins are very slim, and they do offer some helpful purchasing alternatives, like renting the book for the semester or buying the online version, but every college student knows that when it comes to buying textbooks, you will just have to pay the price you find.

Students are the most important piece in this predominantly capitalist chain of commerce.

It’s not fair to the student and it’s not right for the industry to fleece college students who already pay escalating tuition costs and inflated interest rates on their student loans.

Students are the most important piece in this predominantly capitalist chain

of commerce. We are the final destination, with the end game being to get our money. That is capitalism. That is commerce.

I don’t take issue with that per say, but this also involves the college education of thousands of people — even just on Auraria campus. The prices being slumped upon the backs of college students for textbooks is unjust.

Not every college text book is priced like it’s printed on medieval, gold leaf paper and hand scribed by monks. In fact, one text book for a Cultural Anthropology class was found online for only $6, but the other required textbook for that same class was being sold on campus for $180 (and that was the used price.)

Is college an industry or an institution which strives to serve the public good? Is the goal to make money or to educate those who desire knowledge? The answer seems to lie somewhere in a gray area, but the dominant color lately seems to be green.

A voice of Denver starts with the Denver Voice

<<PAGE 1

This story for television was not a story of defeat or sadness, but one of triumph.

It was a story of a man who has become a fixture on the Auraria campus where it meets the Colfax light rail station.

His story will be one of the 10 volumes in a series called “The African-American Voices of Denver.” Each will contain a story told by a notable African-American from Denver and is set to air next February on PBS. Alexander did not begin his journey in Denver. This was a home he found as he traveled across the country, following any scheme that could lead to a pay out. . Denver was also the birthplace of his addiction to cocaine. Talking with Alexander, it was apparent that he was not eager to recall his life of crime and addiction.

“I went from being a married man with a house and kids to bouncing checks, losing the house, my wife, my children.

Everyone has left you, and you kind of know that you’re lost and in another world,” Alexander said.

Alexander became eager when he talked about the actualization of his potential and what he saw as the solutions to chronic homelessness. This involves educating the public on the causes of homelessness. Engaging with others will allow for the cultivation of understanding, and once people understand these experiences, the seed for change can be planted.

“It is really interesting how open and honest he is,” said Laura Thompson, executive director of the Denver Voice, a newspaper sold by homeless vendors. “I have heard him tell his story about growing up and how he got to where he is in life, and it’s amazing that he can have the attitude that he does.”

Thompson has only been with the Voice since July 2014, but she said that Alexander is very well-known and admired not only in the homeless community but beyond. For those who know Alexander it’s difficult to mention him without speaking highly of him and his accomplishments.

“It is definitely notable that he has made so many relationships and has an impact on people,” Thompson said.

“He was dubbed the honorary mayor of Stapleton about a year ago because he does a lot of work with people there as well as on Auraria Campus. We keep his plaque on the wall.”

His position at the Voice was the catalyst that began the changes in his life. He’d heard about a program where homeless people could earn money. The program helps homeless people create income and self-sufficiency by allowing them to buy their newspapers at a fraction

“Everything in life is a chapter — no one chapter makes a book. No matter how long it is, the chapter will end, but that doesn’t mean the book ends.”

John Alexander of the price of the suggested donation amount of $2. Alexander was told he could start by getting his first 10 papers for free and so started his journey with The Voice.

This paper would eventually introduce him to people from all different walks of life and a love of writing.

Not only could he distribute the paper and make money, but it funded his ability to create artwork that he could sell at the same time. The art cost a few dollars to make but sold for more, and initially helped to fuel his drug habit. This was all the Voice and his artwork were at first: a means to an end. But, while homelessness

was still his reality, things began to change as he stood on street corners in the metro Denver area selling his paper. He began to meet all those people from different walks of life that he never realized he would meet, and to his surprise they treated him much differently than he expected.

“They treated me like the person I wanted to be, should be and could be,” Alexander said .

For a while he lived a double life. He worked all day for the paper — then spent all night getting high, unable to shake a feeling of shame. Alexander finally decided that he was going to kick his drug habit

and become the person advocating for homeless rehabilitation.

“I never cut my lifeline with God,” Alexander said. “He gave me an attitude that I wasn’t walking around for twentysomething years thinking, ‘Why me?’ And that’s how I was able to rehabilitate myself.”

Alexander wrote a story published in the Voice called “All Roads Can Lead to Homelessness” that won a 2010 award from the North American Street Papers Association. He explained how homelessness is a condition, not a disease, and can be reached from any road in life.

The problem, Alexander said, is that the world of the homeless is a mystery and misunderstood by society as a whole. That world is not a kind one, he conceded. It is one that most people do not escape from unscathed, if at all.

His perseverance for a better life gave Alexander the courage to find his escape in selling papers at the light rail station at Auraria and Colfax. Though he’d gotten permission to make this a hub for selling his papers, Alexander received a lot of guff from the campus police when he first arrived. Students came to his aid, and they defended his presence on campus.

That very spot is where he met Lupe Martinez, an associate professor of education at MSU Denver.

“I enjoyed talking with Johnny,” Martinez said. “I thought his story of how he became homeless, what inspired him to get off of drugs, how he stabilized himself with a consistent job with the Denver Voice and selling his art was a human interest story.”

David Jackson, associate professor of African studies and curator for “The African-American Voices of Denver” project, stopped to speak with Alexander just as Martinez had, and he realized that Alexander was a special man with a powerful story that needed to be told.

Jackson aims to identify people from the African-American community who have stories that need to be heard.

“John is an exceptional man with an exceptional story,” Jackson said. “We have a responsibility to preserve and protect the history of the African-American people here in Denver.”

After airing on PBS, “The AfricanAmerican Voices of Denver” will be permanently housed in the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library in Five Points. As for Alexander, you can find him in his usual spot on Auraria campus selling his papers, for now.

“Everything in life is a chapter - no one chapter makes a book,” Alexander said.

“No matter how long it is, the chapter will end, but that doesn’t mean the book ends.”

Titillating Tivoli munchies prove worth the half-century wait

By Justin Tate jtate15@msudenver.edu The Tivoli Brew Pub, which closed in 1969, reopened at the Tivoli Student Union in grand fashion Aug. 22. Hundreds of VIP guests gathered and a full restaurant serving delicious, salty food and smooth beers.

For appetizers was a breaded baby portobello mushroom topped with Parmesan cheese and truffle oil. It was served hot and sinfully good. One bite into the fungus is enough to know that something special is on your plate.

Next came the queso fundido, a gooey mixture of chorizo and asadero cheese covered in a burnt and bubbly cheese coating. It was served with crunchy corn chips to pierce the coating surface and plow into the cheesiness, forming a crunchy cheeseball that delivers greasy, stomach-filling goodness. Oh the gluttony!

The What the Buck Bavarian pretzels were a traditional large salted pretzel, but with an amazing pub mustard that zinged and creamed just right.

The sweet hot Brussel love was essentially Brussels sprouts mixed with a honey Sriracha dressing that provided just the

right amount of kick to bring taste buds to a spicy tingle. It was a pleasantly palatable kale like chip, without the greasy residue.

However, these were only the appetizers. The main course was their Southern Pub Burger. The succulent patty hits the palette with a spicy, salty mix of caramelized onions. It was truly a yummy indulgence.

The cheesecake and its caramel sauce may have been baked

by Jehovah himself. Best not plan on sharing, lest you forfeit the delicious treat to your partner.

The service was excellent, showing a lot of patience toward the indecisive menu-clingers.. The Tivoli brew pub experience is excellent.

This restaurant is a good time and a great belly-filler.

“Changing My Major” — Cassie Reid, features editor

“I Can” — Erik Kemp, reporter

What is college without some form of sexual awakening? Yes, the song from the Best Musical Tony-winning “Fun Home” is not in fact about finding a new field to study.

Rather, it encompasses the awkwardness, exhilaration and hilarity of your first time while reaching a deeper level of self discovery than most post-coital tunes. In any case, the many academic-themed euphemisms for sex are enough to bring a smile—and a little blush—to your face.

“My Sweet Summer” — Melanie J. Rice, web editor

“My Sweet Summer” (is gone),

by Dirty Heads, is the perfect backto-school song.

I’ve appropriated the lyrics to mean the summer season, which swept me off my feet like a summer romance, only to disappear before I knew what hit me. It left me panting for more as I was launched back into life without summer, AKA, the fall semester.

“Another Year” — Trevor L. Davis, managing editor

By Dawit Wolday dwolday@msudenver.edu We all have that one album in our playlists that we’ve never listened to, and I’m here to tell you, that album you routinely skip, could be a great gem.

For me, that album was Sean Leon’s 2013 debut project, “Ninelevenne, The Tragedy.”

Sean Leon, a Toronto rapper who also goes by the moniker Maui Slim, has polished lyricism and a flow that is tailor-made to each beat he raps over. Maui Slim’s lyrics begin with themes of braggadocio and misogyny, but toward the latter parts of the album, expand to display the cracks

in Leon’s psyche and what success means to him.

Leon speaks about women and love through “The Tragedy,” which might seem misogynistic at first listen. However, the female whose love he craves the most is actually a car, a Porsche 911, named Madonna. He explains that he craves Madonna so passionately because she represents his success and goals of perfection.

The fancy objects are more symbols of his work ethic than just shallow flaunting. The continuity of the story sonically is the work of Jordan Evans, a Grammy-Award winning producer who has worked with Eminem and Drake.

There is only one word to describe Jordan Evans’s production: cinematic.

You are effortlessly being guided through the story and

“I Need A Dollar” — Deanna Hirsh, asst. news editor The first time I heard “I Need A Dollar” was during the opening of “How To Make It In America,” a show about a young guy in NYC trying to make it. As a New Yorker myself—and someone who knows the struggle of trying, to make their dreams come true, while also making the rent—I related to both the show and the song. The show is no longer running, but “I Need A Dollar” remains an anthem for those of us who still feel that the struggle is real.

For those who get bored with simple 4/4 time signatures while studying or writing a paper, the recently released the album “The Joy of Motion” by the group Animals as Leaders is a must have. The fourth track on the album, “Another Year,” will help you keep your energy up on those long study sessions.

‘Ninelevenne’

Featuring the hook from Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Für Elise” and the drumming bounce from The Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” Nas creates his own powerful message of staying in school, working hard, and being what you want to be. Simple, positive and motivating, Nas’ “I Can” is an ongoing reminder that your personal educational grind can turn your dreams into reality.

don’t even realize that the track has advanced. The instrumental progressions and silences cleanse your palette and prepare you for the next taste.

For a debut project, Leon shines and has already carved his individual path creatively. This project is filled with diversity that allows you to listen to it at the club or the library.

If you want to be the person that is on up-and-coming artists before they explode, Sean Leon, and his debut album “Ninelevenne, The Tragedy” is a great bet.

Roadruckers make comeback after 5 year hiatus

By Mike Tolbert mtolber3@msudenver.edu Men’s and women’s soccer aren’t the only European pastime generating talk on campus as the fall sports season kicks off.

The Metro men’s Rugby club is having a breakout preseason in their first year back as an official club in years.

“This isn’t the first time rugby has been on our campus,” club President Austin Cagaanan said.

“They terminated the program about five years ago and we’re bringing it back.”

The man who initiated the resurgence is affectionately known as Coach Taffy. He is the head coach for the Roadruckers and has over 40 years of experience as a player and coach. He, along with two of his assistants, made the decision to bring rugby back to Metro after seeing an increase in involvement all across the country and state.

Metro eventually found themselves in the Frontier League of the National Small College Rugby Organization. The FL has a field of six other teams, some of which are familiar foes of the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference. Schools like UC—Colorado Springs, Mesa State and Colorado State—Pueblo will see the Ruckers at some point

during their six games of league play.

The Roadruckers recently had 36 students participate in one of their practices — the most since its return. Usually held Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer, the team plans to add another practice day to its schedule now that the fall semester is underway and participation is up.

Experience is no factor as they take all walk-ons. Phil Sevier, a Roadrucker member said, “We have guys who have never played rugby before and we have guys who have been playing since they were kids.”

Not only is no experience required, but whether you attend UCD or CCD — as long as you’re a student on the Auraria campus, you can join. Although the league tournament is for men only teams, your gender doesn’t necessarily disqualify you from playing either.

“We welcome everyone to come out and practice — male or female — and hopefully we’ll be able to field a women’s team soon,” Sevier said.

Players who join will learn basic rugby techniques, one of which has helped keep injuries minimal in this high contact sport.

“The tackle,” a technique that teaches players to take their head out of the play was created by

ATAVUS, a company dedicated to growing the game of rugby.

The near-shoulder to near-hip tactic better known as “cheek to cheek” is a form of rugby tackling that allows the defender to safely tackle the opponent in a restricted area.

Another reason why injuries are less likely to occur is due to the equipment each player has or lack thereof. The league law states that anything hard plastic or metal is prohibited on the field of play. “The closest we get to wearing plastic is our cleats,” Cagaanan said, who is also an ATAVUS intern. “And there’s still restrictions on those.”

Sevier agreed when he said “As soon as you put on plastic, it’s a weapon. If you don’t have anything on your head, you won’t try to hit with it.”

The Roadrucker’s next game is a friendly match against the Northside Mauradrers Aug. 29 in Thorton.

Pending approval from the University, the Ruckers have high hopes that they’ll be able to call The Regency Athletic Complex home before their first scheduled home game against Mesa State on Oct. 3. For practice locations contact Austin Cagaanan at acagaana@msudenver.edu as they vary.

Men’s soccer ready to kick-off season

By Nick Reilly nreilly19@msudenver.edu

With Metro’s fall sports fast approaching, men’s soccer have been training hard for the start of their upcoming seasons.

The Runners tied with Regis University at third place with 74 points, trailing behind Colorado School of Mines with 96 points and Fort Lewis with 79 points in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason poll. The teams were voted on by head coaches from each team in the conference.

Juniors Dustin Berg and Josh Belfrage, and senior Danny Arrubla were all named preseason all-RMAC. These awards have given the Roadrunners motivation to work hard every day in practice

and strive for greatness.

Men’s head soccer coach Jeremy Tittle, who was appointed interim head coach in July said, “A big area we’re good at is team environment, and it’s the best I’ve seen in my six years of coaching, and it’s continuing to grow.”

Watch for the Roadrunners’ teamwork skills this season as a game plan for success. Team environment has been emphasized in all practices and is one of the main focuses for the future.

With the return of ten starters from last season’s team, the Runners have been able to mature together.

“We are a veteran team with 13 juniors and only one senior, with six new players that will play an important role in the season,” Tittle said.

The maturity level rose since

last year and will make an impact on the field during this season for the individual players and for the team.

Countdown to men’s soccer has been going on for months now, and the wait is finally over.

They will host their alumni game on Saturday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m., as part of alumni day.

The women’s soccer and volleyball teams will also play alumni games that day.

We will see the first regular season home game at The Regency Athletic Complex on Friday, Sept.

11 at 4:30 p.m. when they play Newman University.

With the improvements made in the offseason, the Roadrunners are eager to start their season off strong.

Roadrunner volleyball prepared for play

The Roadrunners have been picked second in a Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference preseason coaches’ poll.

Head coach Debbie Hendricks is entering her 16th season with the Roadrunners.

“Preseason polls are always funny to me because nobody has played a point of volleyball and yet, we’re trying to predict who the best team is,” Hendricks said. “I think they’re probably basing that on our history and tradition. It’s a complement to our program,

and we certainly take it as such, but it’s just a piece of paper.”

Under the leadership of Coach Hendricks, the Lady Runners have a record of 333-136 with 15 consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and six RMAC tournament titles.

Among the returning starters are senior outside hitter Kylie Haun and junior middle blocker Vasati Fiatoa. “We try not to focus on rankings and try to just keep on progressing and get better every day throughout the season,” Haun said. “I think the poll was fair. It brings on a lot of pressure, but it’s also a new challenge for all of us to take on as a team,” Fiatoa said.

The Lady Runners lost five graduating seniors last year. “We lost a lot of leadership, and right now, we’re looking to see who is going to jump in there and assert themselves,” Hendricks said.

“After seeing what this team is capable of and the new skills that we’ve acquired, I’m excited for this season,” Fiatoa said.

The Roadrunners will see their first bit of action during the alumni scrimmage on Saturday, Aug. 29, at the Auraria Event Center.

Their first match will be on Friday, Sept. 4, in Big Rapids, Michigan against WisconsinParkside.

Sports Shorts » Have you met Grant?

A press conference and meet-andgreet was held Aug. 26 with newlyhired athletics director Dr. Anthony Grant in the athletes lounge at The Regency Athletic Complex.

Dr. Grant is the seventh director of athletics in school history. He has over 10 years of experience in collegiate athletics, including the past seven at NCAA Division II Millersville University in Pennsylvania.

» Tennis acquires 8 Head tennis coach Daniel Hangstefer announced the additions of eight student-athletes for the 2015-16 school year. Six were added to the men’s team and two to the women’s roster. Both men’s and women’s tennis will have their first match against Nebraska-Kearney on Sept. 11 in Pueblo.

» Ice Hockey holds open tryouts The Metro club ice hockey team will be hosting tryouts on Saturday Aug. 29th and Thursday Sept. 3rd at the Edge Ice Arena in Littleton.

Tryouts are open to all current Metro students and cost $20.00 per skate (payable at tryouts). Individuals with future plans to enroll may also tryout.
