Garzon leads Cowgirls
more.”
It was a morning time matchup with Loyola Marymount for OSU, and through physical inside play, and marksmanship from downtown, the Cow girls came away with a 86-65 win.
Early in the game, OSU took an approach they rarely have this season; they got the ball to the paint.
While the Cowgirls place an emphasis on threes, layups and free throws every game, they took the layup part of that equation to the next level Tuesday, as they made just four threes in the first half.
Coach Jacie Hoyt put an emphasis on shoot ing since she arrived in Stillwater, but she has seen some growth from the team recently in understanding the time and place to take a more physical, paint-orient ed approach.
“Our team is always going to shoot threes,” Hoyt said. “And I think our team is starting to kind of feel and understand when we’re not making our threes, and when to go into that second layer and see our post play, or maybe put the ball on the floor and go to the rim
Despite their lack of success from behind the arc in the first half, OSU was able to make 13 out of 20 shots inside the three-point line, which was enough to give them a 39-31 lead heading into the break.
In the second half, the Cowgirls looked more like themselves, sinking eight threes, including six from Lior Garzon, who caught fire in the third quarter.
“That’s just kind of the ups and downs you go through as a shooter and a shooting team, you can go cold and you can get hot real fast,” Hoyt said. “All of our kids have the confi dence, we talk about having a short-term memory, so if you didn’t make the last shot, just take the next one.”
This game was not the first example of Garzon coming out of the half time break scorching this season. In an earlier game against UT Rio Grande Valley, the Villanova transfer had a similar per formance, as she made five three-pointers in the second half of that game.
“Lior came out on fire for us, and she’s earned that, the kid lives in the gym, she shoots all the time,” Hoyt said.

Victor Voinovich Q&A:
Cheat
meals, wrestling, second season
Rowdy Baribeau Staff Reporter
OSU’s new 149-pounder eats, sleeps and breathes wrestling.
Victor Voinovich was a highly touted wrestler in the 2021 class. Voinovich was ranked as the No. 15 wrestler in the country according to FloWrestling. Voinovich wrestled in open tournaments last season, going 16-1. Now, Voinov ich is gearing up to be the starter in duals for the OSU Cowboys at 149 pounds.
The second-year man out of Brecksville, Ohio, is a softspoken, humble and impressive wrestler, much like a guy he’s looked up to on his squad, Daton Fix. The O’Colly had a chance to do a Q and A with Voi novich and found that he’s a wrestler to the bone.
Q: What were some
takeaways from your first year wrestling at OSU?
A: “Honestly just how collar wrestling works, the season, making weight and stuff,” Voinovich said. “The guys that you have to wres tle are obviously tougher. Like in high school, you can have an easy weekend whereas in college, every weekend you need to expect to have a battle, so I’m super excited for the season that’s coming up.”
Q: What’s it like wrestling with a tough room consisting of Jordan Williams, who’s new to the team?
A: “Oh it’s definitely nice, I go with Jordan a lot,” Voinovich said. “There’s guys like Luke Mechler who I go with all the time. It’s just awesome being challenged because in high school, my last few years, it was hard to get guys that could push me. But now,
I’ve got every day that I can be pushed in the room.”
Q: What’s your goal for this upcoming season?
A: “Just becoming the best possible wrestler I can be this year and If I do what I think I can do, I feel like I’m gonna have a good year.”
Q: What are some hobbies that you have, or anything you do outside of wrestling?
A: “Honestly, I don’t have that many other hob bies but wrestling, hon estly,” Voinovich said. “I watch TV shows and stuff, but, I just enjoy wrestling and love Wrestling.”
Q: What’s your favorite cheat meal?
A: “I love pizza. Most of the time it’s just like pep peroni. Pepperoni, sausage, bacon.”

Club Q shooting suspect charged with 305 counts, including murder, hate crimes, assault
DENVER — The suspect in the mass shooting at an LGBTQ bar in Colorado Springs last month was charged Tuesday with 305 criminal counts, including first-degree murder, bias-motivated crimes and attempted murder.
Anderson Lee Aldrich, 22, had been arrested and held on suspicion of first-degree murder immediately after the Nov. 20 mass shooting at Club Q, but prosecutors did not bring formal criminal charges until Tuesday, which is normal under Colorado’s court pro cess.
Aldrich now faces 10 counts of first-degree murder, 86 counts of at tempted first-degree murder, 48 counts of bias-motivated crimes and 90 counts of assault. The charges against Aldrich also include 71 sentence enhancers, online court records show, which allow prosecutors to pursue harsher penalties should Aldrich be convicted.
Fourth Judicial District Attorney
Michael Allen said in a news confer ence after a court hearing Tuesday that the number of charges reflects the seriousness of the crime.
“Obviously when you file 305 counts in a case, that tells the public, this community, this state and this nation that we are taking this case as seriously as we possibly can and we are going to prosecute this case to the full est extent of the law,” he said.
Aldrich is accused of killing five people and shooting 17 others in the attack. Five additional people were injured during the attack, but not by gunfire, police have said. The suspect was beaten into submission by club patrons who stopped the mass shooting within minutes.
Those killed in the attack were Daniel Aston, 28; Kelly Loving, 40; Ashley Paugh, 35; Derrick Rump, 38; and Raymond Green Vance, 22.
Aldrich appeared in a Colorado Springs courtroom for Tuesday’s hear ing shackled, handcuffed and wearing a jail jumpsuit. The defendant is non binary and uses they/them pronouns, their public defenders have said in court filings.
During an initial court appear ance shortly after the attack, Aldrich’s face was heavily bruised and they sat slumped over; on Tuesday they ap peared more alert and the bruises on their face were healing. Aldrich did not speak and sat still during the hearing.
El Paso County District Court Judge Michael McHenry ordered the arrest affidavit in the case be unsealed by the end of the day Wednesday, over the objection of Aldrich’s defense at torneys.
After the hearing, Allen would not say what evidence led prosecu tors to bring the bias-motivated crime charges against Aldrich, but said he believes there is enough evidence to support those crimes. He said he would not have been able to charge the bias-motivated crimes without a recent change in the state’s law.
“The wording was changed to allow (a crime) to be committed ‘in whole or in part’ based on bias,” he said.
He added that the charges against Aldrich could change should more victims come forward.
Aldrich was not charged with gun
or weapons violations. Allen declined to explain that decision Tuesday or say whether the suspect legally bought the guns used in the attack.
“That gets too close to the heart of the investigation,” he said.
A two-day preliminary hearing in the case was set for Feb. 22 over the objection of Aldrich’s attorney, who said that date did not give the defense team enough time to review evidence in the case and prepare for the hearing.
If the case goes to a jury trial, it may not do so until 2024, Allen said. In other recent Colorado mass shoot ings — including the Boulder King Soopers attack in 2021 and the Colo rado Springs Planned Parenthood clinic shooting in 2015 — the cases have been stalled for months and years by questions about the defendant’s mental competency.
Allen acknowledged that such delays are common but declined to speculate about whether the issue of Aldrich’s mental competency would be raised in future court proceedings.

Cowboy spotlight: Students share their thoughts on finals week
Kennedy Thomason Staff Reporter
Perhaps the two most dreaded weeks of the semester are here.
Dead and finals week, Dec. 5-16, notoriously leave students stressed about their academic performance. The entire semester leads up to the fi nal weeks, where students push to end the semester on a strong note.
The experience is different for everyone, from the freshmen’s first finals week to some seniors’ last.
Garrett Pool, a December gradu ating senior majoring in psychology and philosophy, said he is excited to experience his last round of finals.
“I’m very excited,” Pool said. “I’ve put in a lot of time and effort over these four years, and it’s finally paying off. I’m going to miss Oklaho ma State, but it’s time for me to move
on and move forward. My time here has been very beneficial for that.”
Freshmen, who are navigating their first finals week, are unsure of what to expect.
Kennedy Seals, a freshman biochemistry and molecular biology major and McNight Scholar, said she is taking advantage of dead week.
“Dead week has been relatively productive so far, and is helping pre pare me for finals week,” Seals said. “I am feeling pretty well prepared as a freshman. I’ve had really good professors and TAs who are devoted to helping us succeed in and out of the classroom.”
This sentiment was echoed by Kyla Schultz, a freshman and applied exercise science major, who said she is feeling prepared.
“I’ve been going over notes I’ve written in class this semester,” Schultz
said. “Dead week has honestly been pretty good for me. I only have a few exams. It will probably be more stressed next week.”
The stress of the last two weeks of the semester can leave students feeling burnt out. Students manage their stress in different ways to keep a productive mindset.
“I try to continue my daily routine and exercise to help maintain some normality during the high stress environment,” Seals said.
Stress reduction techniques like this can help students stay focused.
Regardless of the stress, school work continues. The irregular sched ule of dead and finals week can be an obstacle, but students persevere to finish the semester.
There are lots of recipes for suc cess, but everyone has to discover their own.
“When I prepare for my finals, I go back and print off past practice ex ams and exercises and complete them to help refresh myself on the topic I am being tested on, and what areas I need to focus most of my energy on,” Seals said.
Strategies like these are help ful in review and preparation of finals week.
Graduating senior Pool said he has found time and effort to be impor tant in success.
“My best advice for younger students is to become invested in your classes early,” Pool said. “A lot of stress over tests comes from not being prepared. If you put in the time needed for each class, which usually isn’t as much time as you think it is, you’ll do fine.”

The Game Awards 2022 Predictions
Hope”
Payton Little Staff Reporter
The eighth Annual Game Awards are back, bringing in new an nouncements and coveted honors.
On Thursday, the annual Geoff Keighley hosted award show, The Game Awards, is coming back. With so many great games releasing in 2022, the fans of their favorite games eagerly await to see which game will take the prize of game of the year. Here are a few predictions for how The Game Awards will pan out.
Best Family Game Nominees and Predictions
“Kirby and the Forgotten Land”
“Lego Star Wars: The Skywalk er Saga”
“Mario + Rabbids Sparks of
“Nintendo Switch Sports”
“Splatoon 3”
This is essentially the Nintendo category, as they have dominated this category since its inception. In fact, four of five games on this list are Nintendo exclusive, with “Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga” being the outlier here. It’s close, as each game brings something to the table, but overall, “Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga” has much more broad appeal than the rest of the titles on this list. “Kirby and the Forgot ten Land” comes in at a close second, although there’s no real way to know until the show.
Game Awards 2022: Best Indie Game Nominees and Predictions
“Cult of the Lamb” “Neon White”
“Sifu”
“Stray”
“Tunic”
“Cult of the Lamb” is like if “Animal Crossing” took a sadistic, dark turn. “Tunic” is a nice love letter
to the 2D Legend of Zelda adven tures of the 90s. “Sifu” is a unique action/fighting game that has great mechanics and fun gameplay, yet the clear winner of Indie game of the year has to be “Stray”. Released for the PS5, PS4 and Windows, “Stray” is an adventure game that follows a cat in a world taken over by robots. Its charming, unique and the main character is an actual cat. It has all the indie charm with a Triple A look to it. “Stray” deserves to win for indie game of the year.
Game of the Year
Nominees
“A Plague Tale: Requiem”
“Elden Ring”
“God of War Ragnarök”
“Horizon Forbidden West”
“Stray”
“Xenoblade Chronicles 3”
Being entirely honest, this cat egory is mainly a toss up between two titles. One that released early in 2022, and the other releasing much later within the year. Of course, I am talk ing about “Elden Ring” and “God of
games. Despite Elden Ring’s buzz, “God of War Ragnarök” is garnering much praise at the moment. A PS5 exclusive, it follows the story of Kratos and his son Atreus. Many are praising the game for its incredible story, beautiful visuals and addictive combat, being seen as one of the best game sequels ever made.
With both of these games gar nering such high praise, which one will come out on top? With “God of War Ragnarök” having such a late release date, it may have been delayed in building up hype for this type of event. For this reason, I believe that “Elden Ring” will barely beat out “God of War Ragnarök”, but do not find it surprising if Kratos manages to pull through and win the esteemed award.

Reindeer bring holiday cheer to OSU
Bella Casey Staff Reporter
Two North Pole na tives joined OSU to cel ebrate the holidays.
Grace and Rose the reindeer partnered with the Off-Campus Student Association to raise student morale as finals week ap proaches.
Lexie Lenderman, a graduate assistant for the Off-Campus Student As sociation, helped organize the reindeer’s visit.
Lenderman said the reindeer “not only moti vate students but get them excited for the holidays.”
Rose and Grace waited for excited students outside of the Classroom Building with their owner, Nick Ledbetter. The rein deer and Ledbetter are part of the Reindeer Club of Oklahoma, a club that pro vides reindeer for Christ mas parties and events.
Rose and Grace are the main reindeer that travel with Ledbetter. He said the two reindeer travel well as a pair because they live together on the farm.
Rose performed a trick for students as she stood on a small square bale. As Rose performed, Grace lied on the ground to sunbathe.
“Rose is a complete ham,” Ledbetter said. “She’s gonna stand up; she’s gonna do magic tricks.”
Although a sleigh was available for students to take photos in, the reindeer had to travel more incon spicuously to reach OSU. The reindeer’s star status has made traveling difficult in the past.
“If you pull into a gas
station with reindeer during the holiday season, you’re gonna be there for 30 or 45 minutes showing off the reindeer.” Ledbetter said.
The reindeer were originally hauled in a stock trailer, which made it easy for others to notice that Ledbetter was hauling reindeer. Now, the reindeer are hauled in a trailer that makes transporting them more discrete.
“We switched to a big box trailer in order to sneak the reindeer into places and then let people experience them and sneak them back home,” Ledbetter said.
The Reindeer Club of Oklahoma displayed reindeer pelts and antlers for students to view as well as a board that shared a few fun facts about reindeer.
The board explained that although Rose and Grace have antlers, they are still females. Female rein deer and their racks tend to be smaller than male reindeer but are similar in appearance otherwise.
Reindeer such as Rose and Grace eat fresh clover, willow leaves, oats, hay and an occasional sweet treat. Rose’s favorite treat is animal crackers.
After visiting the reindeer, students were of fered hot chocolate and free scantrons in preparation for finals week testing.
To get in touch with the Reindeer Club of Oklahoma or book Grace and Rose for an event, visit their Facebook page or website.

Geology professor receives distinguished award
Kennedy Thomason Staff Reporter
Todd Halihan, a professor in the Boone Pickens School of Geology (BPSoG), received the Charles V. Theis Award on Nov. 9.
This award was presented by the American Institute of Hydrology (AIH) as a recognition of Halihan’s work in groundwater hydrology. Halihan ac cepted the award at the American Water Resources Association conference in Seattle.
“This award is the highest groundwater research award presented by the AIH and is similar to the Hol lywood Walk of Fame, but for ground
water research,” Halihan said. “Clean water has provided the biggest differ ence in human health over any other achievement, and should be celebrated.”
AIH frequently awards indi viduals for their work in the fields of groundwater, surface water, water qual ity and institute development.
Patty Walker, an OSU geology alumni and retired chief geoscientist for ExxonMobil, said this award reflects well on the BPSoG.
“To have Todd receive this award continues to confirm the outstanding quality and commitment of the profes sors in the BPSoG,” Walker said. “The respect and recognition that Todd is receiving from his peers in the hydroge ology community speaks to his position as a thought leader in the industry, his
well respected research, the quality of the students he educates and sends into the workforce, and his commitment to the mission of a land-grant university like Oklahoma State.”
Jim Puckette, an associate profes sor in the BPSoG, said Halihan is an excellent scientist and professor.
“He is also dedicated to outreach and service and does not hesitate to give back to his students, CAS, OSU, the state of Oklahoma and the profes sional societies and organizations he belongs to,” Puckette said. “His impact at OSU is difficult to measure because beyond being an outstanding teacher and researcher, he has for almost two decades carried the torch for the hy drogeology and environmental geology subdisciplines at OSU.”
Halihan shared OSU has been integral to groundwater and subsur face fluid research since BPSoG was founded. The school collaborates with the National Ground Water Association along with various state businesses and organizations.
“With more than 98% of our available freshwater in the ground, groundwater has to be the focus of our efforts if you are going to sustain hu manity,” Halihan said. “Helping people find clean water or remediate dirty water is the most rewarding career you can find.”

What to do with your leftover meal plan
Michael Clark Staff Reporter
We’ve all been there.
The semester is wrapping up, people are getting ready for their Christmas getaways and finals week is rapidly approaching. With all this, it’s easy to forget that your meal plan still has a massive balance with only a few weeks left to spend it. All that money can’t go to waste, but thankfully, there are quite a few ways you can put the rest of your meal plan to good use.
The most popular trend among students is to go to the Ranchers Club inside of the Student Union and order a nice meal with friends or maybe a
special someone. Whether it’s a date night, a quick dinner with friends or if you’re just indulging in a nice steak by yourself, The Ranchers Club steakhouse is an excellent resource to dwindle down that leftover money.
Alternatively, check out Twenty Something at Kerr-Drummond din ing. With the semester wrapping up, and plenty of students visiting with money to blow, Twenty Something has been selling food and snacks in bulk. Get massive packs of drinks, enjoy an excessive amount of candy and restock on any supplies you may be low on while you’re at it. Some may not know that essentials such as toilet paper, shampoo, and detergent are all covered with your OSU meal plan.
However, if you’re looking for
a more ethical and altruistic way to spend your money, look no further than donating to Pete’s Pantry in the Student Union. This week, the folks at Pete’s Pantry are taking donations for any food or supplies you would like to donate to them with that leftover meal plan. Pete’s Pantry can be found in the basement of the Student Union. It is also worth noting you could donate these items to other food banks and charities in Stillwater such as Our Daily Bread, the Salvation Army, and so on. These places are always in need of extra donations, so any help is ap preciated.
While these are all great ways to bring your meal plan down substantial ly, it is always good to stay nourished and energized during these final weeks
of the semester. With deadlines always approaching, it can be quite easy to forget to grab a snack or a meal on the way to your next class. It’s never a bad idea to eat out a little more, perhaps at Chick-Fil-A in the Student Union, B&B in North Dining or Linguetti’s at Kerr-Drummond. Over time, these quick stops should add up to a solid dent in your budget.
This can be a stressful time for students. So whether you spend your outstanding meal plan balance on donations, snacks in bulk or just a nice meal, make sure to take good care of yourself and get well rested during these final days of the fall semester.
