SHOOT UT GUIDE 2010
GRAPHIC BY PAIGE TIEDE
By Heather Hamilton The Northern Light
School spirit can be shown in many ways. Students can attend sporting events, homecoming activities, wear school colors or clothing with the school emblem, sing along with the fight song or plaster stickers all over your dorm or vehicle. All of the above often have one thing in common: the school mascot usually isn’t far away. Whether wearing university clothing, watching a game or sporting stickers, a university’s mascot is typically plastered somewhere or walking around at a game. It is a brand that tells everyone where you go to school and who you support on the playing field without a shadow of a doubt.
Mascots come in all shapes and sizes, from a living, breathing bulldog in a crown to a giant animal suit of something make believe. They are as varied and unique as the schools they represent and often have interesting histories to match. UAA wasn’t always represented by our iconic Spirit the Seawolf, for instance. Once, back in the 1970’s, we were the Sourdoughs. That’s right, the Sourdoughs. Our mascot was a goldpanner. While being the Sourdoughs had a bit of history and meaning behind it, switching to the Seawolves brought UAA back to Alaska’s native roots. The Tlingit word for seawolf is Gonaqadet. According to “Origin of the Gonaqadet” in Illustrated Tlingit Legends
by Tresham Greg, the seawolf is a mythical creature that brings good luck to those who see it. It lived in a hidden lake with a secret outlet into the ocean. The legend goes that a Tlingit man found it, trapped it and killed it. He then donned its skin so that he could hunt in the ocean and bring food back to his village when no one else had luck fishing. According to Timothy McDiffet, the associate athletic director, the first incarnation of the Seawolf mascot in 1977 was meant to resemble a totem. This version incorporated both the school colors and included red and light blue as well. Its design was also very intricate. The next incarnation, first seen in 1980, was a more wolfish version of the creature
bursting out of the water. The Seawolf itself was yellow, and the “water” was green. Unfortunately, many athletes and athletic workers felt the mascot didn’t quite resemble what it was meant to. “We called it, to ourselves, the Flaming Dog,” McDiffet said. In 1985, the Seawolf finally took on the form used today. The totem style used in the first Seawolf incarnation was utilized once more, but greatly simplified. The colors accurately reflected UAA’s school colors as well. If the longevity of this mascot design is any indication of its popularity, UAA should hopefully be seeing Spirit the Seawolf for many years and many games to come.

Senior Aden comes full circle at UAA as a leader By Taylor Hall The Northern Light
Flashback to the 2007-08 season for the UAA women’s basketball team. It was the first of what would be two straight Final Four appearances and the best record (30-5) in program history. Perhaps you will recall a 5’8” freshman guard who wasn’t hesitant to shoot when given the opportunity. Fast forward back ahead to present day and you’ll now find that same guard in position to break several records during her senior year and lead the Seawolves back to a fifth straight postseason appearance. Nikki Aden, a journalism and public communications major who hails from Portland, Ore., is a mere 14 wins away (at the time when this was written) from being the most victorious Seawolf. She would eclipse the 97 win total from Seawolf great Rebecca Kielpinski, a teammate of Aden’s from 2007-09. Aden is one of the unquestioned leaders on the Seawolf squad this season and will be called upon to help lead a young contingent of new ‘Wolves into the world of collegiate basketball. Aden can recall back to her freshman year when the shoe
was on the other foot and she was taken under the wing by her friend and mentor Kalhie Quinones. “She was my roommate and really demanded a lot out of me and pushed me to be better,” Aden said, who started all 29 games last season for UAA. “I try to emulate what she was to me.” And with 12 newcomers to the team this year, Aden will be looked to for guidance. “This year, we’re going to put some extra pressure on her and ask her to provide leadership,” UAA Head Coach Tim Moser said. “She will needs to hold others accountable, even those who can be frustrating to deal with at times. “Nikki is a tough kid and has gotten better each year so I’m not worried.” Moser also was quick to say Aden will be the go-to girl in many situations this season. “Our team may need some penetration and assists and she can do that, or we may need her to step up and hit some threes and she can do that,” Moser said. “A lot of times, she’ll be called upon to be our best defender. She’ll have to do it all.” However, growing pains as a player may not be as hard to go to as opposed to getting other players to buy in to the team identity.
It’s a struggle to continue to convince someone how tough it will be this season,” Aden said, whose .862 free throw shooting percentage last year was a new UAA record. She took her game to Spain this past summer as part of the USA Athletes International team. The team comprised of select
Division I and II players went 5-0 in the tournament and on average, defeated their opponents by an average of 32.2 points. “It definitely was one of those life experiences you don’t get to have all the time,” Aden said. “It was an amazing time. I got to meet some amazing people, and got to enjoy something new.”
However, as the Seawolves try to continue to find success, they will expect nothing new from Aden in terms of her game. “The biggest thing she provides us is her defense; but offensively, she’s grown into a really well rounded player,” Moser said. “Nikki can beat a team a lot of ways.”

TNL: Favorite meal? Aden: Definitely mom’s home cooked tacos. TNL: Favorite TV show? Aden: Family Guy. TNL: What’s is currently on your iPod? Aden: Got some reggae and
country on there now. TNL: Guilty pleasure in life? Aden: Ice cream! TNL: Superstitions? Aden: If I have a good game, I try to copy the same exact pregame routine before the next game. TNL: When I’m not on the court, I’m…? Aden: Probably studying somewhere at school. TNL: Favorite Athlete? Aden: Brandon Roy for now. TNL: Celebrity crush? Aden: Leonardo DiCapprio. TNL: Favorite sport to play other than basketball? Aden: Soccer. TNL: And to watch? Aden: Football.

Officials are much more than antsy court cops Shootout refs selected from D-II Great Northwest Athletic Conference, D-I Mountain West Conference By Eli Wray
The Northern Light
The Seawolves have been training hard for the Great Alaska Shootout, but they aren’t the only ones. Out of the 18 games that will be played, there are only eight referees that will be officiating. That’s a lot of running. “They put a lot of time into training,” Timothy McDiffett said, UAA associate athletic director. “The rules might change from one year to the next so they have to stay up on rule changes. They have clinics to attend in the summertime, not to mention physical training. They put in a lot of time and energy before games.” The referees for the Great Alaska Shootout work in teams. There are three officials for each game: two from the Division I Mountain West Conference (MWC) and one from the Division II Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC). This method of officiating is called split crews and is very common in college basketball. “Split crews are three person officiating crews with two referees from the Mountain
West Conference and one Alaskan referee,” McDiffett said. “When I say Alaskan, they are actually referees from the Great Northwest Athletic Conference who happen to live in Alaska. So they are already certified and approved by the GNAC, which is the Division II conference that we compete in for men’s and women’s basketball.” That means that Seawolf basketball players have encountered some of the officials for the Shootout in previous GNAC games. What about the MWC referees? “The truth of the matter is, even though the referees are assigned by the Mountain West Conference, some of these referees will officiate in other conferences,” McDiffett said. “They are shared by multiple conferences, so we may have seen other referees before because they work across conference lines. Because a lot of conferences overlap, they share a lot of referees anyways.” With a huge selection of referees floating around, it is up to the coordinator of men’s basketball officials for the MWC, Bobby Dibler. Dibler selects the officials for the
Great Alaska Shootout each year. “Every conference has a supervisory official. They schedule officials, work to develop their skills and deal with issues,” McDiffett said. “They answer to a conference commissioner who is the leader or director of the conference. We contact Bob in the summer time and give him the dates and games scheduled. We’ve been doing this with the Mountain West Conference for years.” Dibler decides which official refs which game by using computers. Thanks to new scheduling technology, all Dibler has to do is put all the games and referees into a program and he gets a schedule for each referee for each game. Dibler does this for every single home game in the MWC; the Shootout is just an extra project for him. Because college basketball is so competitive and fast paced, on average the college basketball official has nearly 10-15 years of officiating experience with the veterans accumulating above 20 years of experience. All that experience is important when making split second decisions that can decide games.
“Everyone loves to boo the officials and yell at them,” McDiffett said. “But they really put a lot of time and effort in and for the most part they are really good guys. We get to see them behind the scenes a lot, and they really take their jobs seriously and all they want to do is create a level playing field. They work hard at what they do.” With all of the negativity being directed towards the officials, why would someone want to referee a college basketball game in the first place? The pay for referees has increased in previous years, but McDiffett thinks it has to do with something else: love of the game. “They take a lot of abuse, but I would say that most of the referees were former athletes usually in the sport they officiate. It is a good way for them to stay associated with the sport and they enjoy what they do,” McDiffett said. So when an disagreeable call is made try to keep in mind that even though these officials are used to the abuse, they work hard and love the game just as much, if not more, than the crowd.
New big man Taylor Rohde can have UAA fans hopeful By Taylor Hall The Northern Light
Junior Taylor Rohde was looking for a change of scenery from the desert and heat of Arizona, where he’d been a standout basketball player. The UAA Seawolves were looking for an experienced big man to be a physical presence down low and free up room for their sharp shooters. It was a match made in hoops heaven for Seawolf fans. The timing couldn’t have been any better when UAA announced this past summer that Rohde would transfer from Pac-10 power Arizona State and bring his game up north. “Basketball is basketball wherever you play it,” Rohde said, who was the 2008 Arizona State High School Player of the Year. “It was fun playing in a big arena
and having lots of fan support but I spent two years there and felt it was time for a change.” Rohde substituted the humid desert heat for the bitter cold Anchorage weather. Talk about your polar opposites. “That’s basically the biggest change you can get,” Rohde said with a grin appearing across his face. “I came up and liked what I saw and am enjoying my experience up here so far.” However, Rohde said it was the city and coaching staff that won him over quickly and made him pack his sneakers and head to UAA. With the Seawolves typically known as a team that can shoot beyond the arc, the addition of Rohde may have some of his new teammates chomping at the bit for kick-outs from him. “He draws a lot of attention with his skill, but he has great

vision too,” Steve White said, a junior guard who isn’t afraid to fire three-pointers one bit. “He’s going to free up people for a lot of good looks.” Of course, the big man has plenty to offer down low if the double teams don’t come. “I like to play down in the post and can take people off with the dribble but I can come out and shoot the 15 to 18 footer too,” Rohde said. “Basically, I like a little bit of everything.” With Rohde, the Seawolves have a double-double threat game in and game out. His senior year at Pinnacle High School saw him put 29.5 ppg and 12.0 rpg on way to being named Phoenix All-Metro Player of the Year. These types of monstrous numbers are something the Seawolves haven’t had since Carl Arts (18.5 ppg and 7.9 rpg) back in the 2007-08 campaign in which the Seawolves were GNAC Champs and made it all the way to the Division II Final Four. Arts wasn’t even a true big man, but for UAA standards, he was more than they were used to at the position. “We’ve struggled with keeping bigs in our program over the years, and it’s good to have another big body this year,” White said. “Having Tay come from such a big program brings something new to the table for sure.” The 6’9”, 255-pound Natural Sciences major admits that his weak point was defense coming into the college ranks. He continues to work on his slides and quick footwork in the paint. However, if there is one thing Head Coach Rusty Osborne’s teams know how to do, it’s playing defense. Last year, the ‘Wolves finished first in the GNAC last season in points allowed per game (64.3). Add in the fact that they also finished with a positive 6.1 rebounding margin on opponents
(also good for first in the GNAC) and you have a pretty good place to learn how to play solid defense. An interesting situation could pan out in this year’s Shootout. Arizona State just happens to be in the field and could be a second round opponent for the Seawolves. When asked about this possibility playing out, Rohde was quick to downplay the whole thing. “Myself and the whole team have to just take it one game at a time,” Rohde said. “If it comes to where we play ASU, we’ll take ‘em as it comes and go through our normal routine and put forth
our best team effort.” Speaking of team, the newest Seawolf was eager to share the team’s expectations soon after that. “We want to go into every game and come out with a ‘W,’ but definitely be successful and improve every night,” Rohde said. With an experienced group of returners, such as senior guards Brandon Walker and Drew Robinson, and senior forward Casey Robinson to work with, Rohde may have put this season’s possibilities into perfect context. “Sky is the limit for this team,” Rohde said.
04 Sports-oriented alumni score in the workforce THE GREAT ALASKA SHOOTOUT 2010 2010| November 16, 2010
By Jerzy Shedlock The Northern Light
Universities aim to shape their graduates into successful professionals. Whether an alumna is pursuing a career in the sciences or business marketing, personal triumphs add to the prestige of universities. Professionals from all fields foster lasting relationships with their schools. Learning does not stop with the attainment of a degree, and university alumni associations encourage involvement from past students. “Alumni are valuable to a university because they really are the spotlight of what the university does. They are the product of our mission as an organization,” Julia Martinez, advancement services director, said. “Their success is our success.” Nine universities are traveling to Anchorage for the 2010 Great Alaska Shootout, and all have garnered a long list of alumni. Notable graduates include a professional basketball player and a marketing coordinator. The success stories of these alumni promote continuing progress and pride. Sports are not a big part of many college graduates’ plans, but career paths can veer into uncharted territories. Kent State University (KSU) 2002 alumna Demetric Shaw spends his postcollege days on a basketball court. Since his graduation, Shaw has been touring the international basketball circuit as a point guard for the Sundsvall Dragons.

The Drake University graduate cannot get you free tickets to a home game. “When people find out I work for the Broncos, the first question they ask me is if I can get them tickets,” Bretzlauf said on Drake’s alumni website. One of her jobs does consist of giving away tickets, but those are usually passes reserved for the team’s biggest contributors, sponsors and other Denver high rollers. Important positions in the world of sports are not the only place university alumni can be found. Continuing involvement with their university can extend to simple actions, such as attending a sporting event. Alumni of UAA will be in the crowd during the 2010 Great Alaska Shootout, cheering with honor. “They remain involved in a number of ways. Alumni give back by giving scholarship moneys; there are college associations they can connect with, which seek to connect, advocate and support the university; volunteer on advisory boards and with surveys,” Martinez said. “There is a number of ways they remain involved and there is a strong segment that appreciate and are proud of their university.”

Sullivan Arena is converted and ready for action Local Arena continues tradition of housing the Great Alaska Shootout; conversion takes less than one day By Logan Tuttle The Northern Light
Nine hours, 225 pieces of hardwood and about 30 people later, the Great Alaska Shootout floor is ready for action. The Sullivan Arena has been home to the Great Alaska Shootout since 1983. Taking place in the middle of hockey season, changes need to be made to the floor area before the first basket is attempted. It takes about nine hours and 25-30 people to get the
“Sully” ready for one of Alaska’s oldest Thanksgiving traditions, according to conversion supervisor Mike Pickens. The conversion crew will start immediately after the UAA vs. St. Cloud hockey game Nov. 20 to ready the floor by 7 a.m. Nov. 21. Normally, there are less people involved with conversions, but Pickens said the Shootout is a different story. “Since this is such a big conversion, and we have such little time to do it, we normally go with 25 or 30 people,” Pickens said.
The conversion to the basketball set-up will allow for about 2,300 more seats to be filled than the standard hockey seating capacity, Pickens stated. The crew will disassemble the boards around the ice rink and install the seats. They use a subfloor to cover the ice to prepare for the hardwood to be put in. The ice is not melted down, but covered by a sub-floor. “There’s about six miles of Freon refrigeration lines that go underneath the concrete that the ice sits on, so the ice stays frozen,”
Pickens said. The most difficult part of the process is making sure the floor is centered and level. But after that, it’s somewhat of an easy task. The hardwood all snaps together, and Pickens says that makes
everything pretty simple. The basketball floor is sent out once a year for so it can be sanded down and refinished, so when the teams step on the court for the first time this year, they will be playing on an almost brand-new floor.
The conversion crew will start immediately after the UAA vs. St. Cloud hockey game Nov. 20 to ready the floor by 7 a.m. Nov. 21.
