Former football player sues Tech for Title IX violations

By ALEXA BOUTWELL Sports Editor

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

There are animal shelters and care programs spread throughout the Lubbock area that members of the community can volunteer with.

Brenda Wilbanks, founder and executive director of the Haven Animal Care Shelter, said the shelter began in her and her husband’s house on one and a half acres of land before it expanded to seven and a half acres and multiple buildings.

“When we built that house,” Wilbanks said, “a little fuzzy dog named

Snooty came and moved in there before we were even through building it, and she had puppies. So, that was our start.”

The shelter focuses on quality over quantity, Wilbanks said. The purpose of the center is to find dogs and cats good homes in order to take in more.

The shelter has a no-kill policy when it comes to its animals. Christine Carter, a volunteer at the shelter, said the policy does, however, limit the number of animals it can take in, but many are adopted regardless.

A Texas Tech football player, who chose to remain anonymous, is requesting a reverse of decision by a Title IX hearing panel that found him guilty of violating the university’s code, according to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

The student was found guilty of violating the university’s code on sexual conduct by having sex with an incapacitated woman who could not consent, according to the AJ. Tech defines sexual assault as non-consensual sexual intercourse, according to the AJ. The university defines consent as mutually understandable words or actions, actively communicated both knowingly and voluntarily, that clearly convey permission for a specific activity.

The African-American freshman football player, who is under the pseudonym “John Doe,” filed an appeal after the Sept. 15 hearing that resulted in a two-semester suspension, according to the AJ. According to the lawsuit, Doe is suing the university as well as Tech President Lawrence Schovanec, declaring his rights to due process were violated as well as stating procedural and substantive errors significantly impacted the outcome, according to the AJ. The guilty verdict was appealed by the student on Nov. 4, but the lawsuit was filed Nov. 30, according to the document provided to the AJ. “This is the first time we’ve been sued on one where they weren’t happy with the resolution, and they’ve actually taken that step.

So, it’s really new for us,” Ronny H. Wall, associate general counsel for the Texas Tech System, said last month, according to the AJ. “That’s probably going to make us even more guarded (than) normal because we don’t really know what we’re in for.”

Police search for hit-and-run culprit Tech looks to break losing streak, hosts Baylor today The Lubbock Police Department is still searching for the person responsible for killing 21-year-old Alcadio Estrada Barron in a hit-and-run incident near the Marsha Sharp Freeway at around 12:30 a.m. Friday.

Early Friday morning, a motorist flagged down a Lubbock police officer near the Marsha Sharp Freeway and Avenue Q and said he saw a man walking in the middle of the eastbound access road, according to a LPD news release. The officer began to drive around the area, and as he approached the 1900 block, he saw Barron lying dead on the road.

LPD was able to identify Barron as the victim around noon Friday, according to the release.

Investigations into the incident are still ongoing, but Barron was hit, possibly more than once, with a vehicle, according to the release. The driver of the vehicle did not stay on the scene or render aid,

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team is coming off a two-game losing streak in which both games were decided by one possession.

The Red Raiders fell to TCU on Tuesday, 62-61, and No. 3 Kansas on Saturday, 80-79.

After being handed two losses in a row, Tech’s overall record for the season stands at 16-9. In the Big 12 Conference, the Red Raiders have a 4-8 record, keeping them at No. 8 in the conference, according to Big 12 Sports.

The Red Raiders will attempt to capitalize at home as they host No. 5 Baylor at 6 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

In the loss to the Jayhawks, junior guard Niem Stevenson went

8-17 from the floor to put up 22 points for the Red Raiders. Junior forward Zach Smith was third in points with 21. He trailed junior guard Keenan Evans, who had 25 points, according to Tech Athletics.

“I think it was great,” Evans said. “I think it’s really awesome that Niem (Stevenson) worked on picking it up in the Big 12 play.

We just want that to continue for him. Zach and I, it’s a given that we have to play well every game to get the win, and next time, we want to have the same stats but just come out with the (win).”

Tech grabbed a 12-9 lead over Kansas early in the first half. The game was back and forth until Kansas made the free throw to grab the win.

Tech students discuss Black Lives Matter

By REECE NATIONS Staff Writer

Black Lives Matter is a movement that began in the wake of the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012 and has since evolved from a social media hashtag to a fullfledged social movement.

BLM is an ideological and political intervention in a world where black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise, Alicia Garza, creator of the movement, wrote on the official BLM website. It is an

affirmation of black people’s contributions to society, humanity and resilience in the face of oppression.

Since 2015, 1,954 people have been shot and killed by police officers in the United States, according to The Washington Post. Of those fatalities, 491 were AfricanAmericans and 495 of the people killed had reportedly shown signs of mental illness prior to the altercation.

“I think people with racist tendencies are very quick to dismiss the term Black Lives Matter because they don’t fully understand the point of the whole movement,” Decorian Morgan, a freshman sports management major from Houston, said.

“The protests that were being held were about bringing the hardships that black people face to the light.”

Morgan said he and many other black people have been the victims of racial profiling by members of law enforcement in the past. One of the main objectives of the BLM movement is to target and root out systematic discrimination by law enforcement.

“If people don’t see (discrimination) happen every day, it can be easy for them to

The weather seemed unusually warm over the weekend. In fact, Saturday’s high of 91 degrees set a new record-high temperature in Lubbock for the month of February.

All of that is set to change starting today, as the high is supposed to reach 35 degrees with a 90 percent chance of rain or freezing rain, according to the National Weather Service website. That percentage for precipitation will last all day today, and snowy weather is predicted for the evening.

Tuesday seems about the same, but the chance of precipitation coming down as rain or snow goes down to around 80 percent, according to NWS. Temperatures are predicted to go up Wednesday with a high of about 50 degrees, and little precipitation is predicted for the rest of the week.

“University officials are aware of potential winter weather and have begun following forecasts,” Chris Cook, director of the Office of Communications and Marketing, said in an email. “The university

works closely with the National Weather Service, Texas Tech Police Department and the City of Lubbock to make informed decisions.”

Since Friday afternoon, city officials have been preparing for winter weather by pre-loading salt and sand trucks, according to a City of Lubbock news release.

Trump has yet to comment on the allegations against Flynn, and a top aide dispatched to represent the administration on the Sunday news shows skirted questions on the topic, saying it was not his place to weigh in on the “sensitive matter.”

policy adviser Stephen Miller said it wasn’t up to him to say whether the president retains confidence in Flynn.

“It’s not for me to tell you what’s in the president’s mind,” he said on NBC. “That’s a question for the president.”

A White House official, who was not authorized to be named and requested anonymity, said in a statement Friday the president had full confidence in Flynn.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) — After years of sliding downhill, energy producers have increased plans for drilling in a major basin in northwest Colorado.

As many as eight rigs could be operating this spring in the Piceance Basin, said industry officials who spoke to The Daily Sentinel.

Industry officials,

however, also note that drilling activity is tightly tied to the price of natural gas. While they might have made drilling plans for a period of years, they now are making them on tighter schedules that are more tuned to costs and the prices that natural gas can fetch, the officials said.

Laramie Energy is now running one rig and will go to two rigs in May. “If gas prices hold up, we may add two more rigs in the fall,” said Robert Boswell, Laramie chairman and chief executive officer.

Terra Energy Partners plans to continue running two rigs in northern Garfield County, company spokeswoman Susan Alvillar said. “Attitudes are changing already,” Alvillar said.

Ursa Resources Group II LLC has one rig working in Garfield County, and it might bring in a second for Rio Blanco County, said Don Simpson, vice president of business development.

Caerus Oil & Gas LLC operated a rig in Garfield County during all of 2016, and plans call for that to continue, said Michael Rynearson, operations manager.

Encana, once one of the major players in the Piceance Basin, has shifted its focus to Texas and Canada, but it does plan to drill two wells this year, company spokesman Doug Hock said.

The Piceance Basin once was the domain of major energy players that could plug in multi-year drilling programs, but those companies have largely been replaced by smaller, closely held companies that take into account immediate pricing trends and costs when they decide whether to drill a well, said David Ludlam, executive director of the West Slope Colorado Oil and Gas Association.

FMLA hosts performance of ‘The Vagina Monologues’

By KIRBY WARNER Staff Writer

Texas Tech’s Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance raised more than $1,000 for Women’s Protective Services during its performances of “The Vagina Monologues” in the Student Union Building’s Escondido Theatre this weekend.

“The Vagina Monologues” was written as a play in 1994

by Eve Ensler, who based the play off 200 interviews she conducted with women, according to Tech’s Women’s Studies Program website.

Mahnaz Ashoori, FMLA’s public relations chair and a junior global studies major from McKinney, said the themes of the play include sexuality, self-love and acceptance. The play also includes the acknowledgment of womanhood and gender inequalities.

“It’s women empowerment, women appreciation, vagina appreciation,” Ashoori said, “removing the

stigma from the word itself.”

The performance began at 7 p.m., but a resource fair was hosted an hour beforehand with tables setup representing different student organizations.

Annika Conrick, FMLA president and a junior history major from Fort Worth, said some of the organizations included within the fair were Gay Straight Alliance, Not On My Campus, the Roller Derby Girls and the Risk Intervention & Safety Education Office.

“We do a lot with all of these other different groups,” Conrick said.

“We’re kind of all within the feminist community.”

The doors opened at 6:30 p.m., with the show officially beginning 3 0 m i n u t e s l a t e r. T h e play consisted of different monologues from the perspectives of different women and centered on topics relating to vaginas and womanhood.

One monologue performed was from the perspective of a group of transwomen. It focused on what it was like for them coming to accept themselves and some of the violence they faced.

Catherine Ragsdale, FMLA’s vice president and a senior marketing and Spanish dual major from Austin, said the play originally excluded transgender individuals.

“As time has gone on,” Ragsdale said, “we’ve tried to make it more inclusive, and it’s just kind of like an evolving production as feminism evolves.”

Ragsdale herself participated in “The Vagina Monologues” and performed a monologue about the experience of a woman coming to appreciate her body.

The overarching connection between many of the monologues was how the vagina essentially is the woman, deserving of re-

One of the last monologues performed was from the perspective of Ensler herself. It described her memory of wi t nes s i ng her grand daughter’s birth, equating the vagina to a heart in being able to provide life.

The play ended when each member of the cast got up on stage and, one by one, read what their revolution would be in regard to gender equality.

The best thing the audience can gain from watching this performance is accepting the meaning

of womanhood for themselves, Ashoori said.

“I really hope that not only the women but the males too,” Ashoori said, “come out of this with a sense of empowerment, of accepting every part of who they are.” @KirbyWarner_DT

SHELTER

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 Carter said her favorite part of working at the shelter is watching an animal find a good home.

“Especially when you see a dog that comes in that has been through a rough start in life,” Carter said, “and you see it go to a good home, it’s very rewarding.”

Carter said her responsibilities as a volunteer include taking care of the smaller dogs, cleaning the buildings and providing the animals with whatever is needed.

The group that volunteers at the shelter on a consistent basis is small, but a lot of organizations come to volunteer and do projects, Wilbanks said.

The most recent group f r o m Te x a s Te c h t h a t helped with the shelter was Beta Theta Pi, Anthony Ha, a staff member at the shelter, said.

The organization showed a few of the dogs from the shelter around at the event, which was helpful, Ha said.

“Visibility is a huge thing for any shelter,” Ha said. “So, letting people know where we’re at, letting people know what kind of dogs we have, that is a huge thing for any shelter.”

The publicity helps the center’s purpose of finding these animals a place to be loved and cared for, Ha said.

A Tech student who

works on the shelter ’s permanent staff is Storm Huckabee, a junior history and general studies dual major from Lubbock.

Huckabee’s job responsibilities include paperwork, intakes, veterinary transportation and posting for Haven on Facebook. Huckabee said her favorite part of the job are the animals themselves.

“If I had time, I would just sit out and play with the animals all the time,” she said.

Sometimes, the dogs are fearful when they first

arrive, but seeing them develop during their time at Haven is interesting, Huckabee said.

The most important quality of Haven is compassion, Ha said. At the same time, knowing its limits is equally necessary.

“We have the ability to say, you know, we’re full,” Ha said, “and the only reason we would ever do that is if we take in too many animals (and) we can’t provide the type of care to all of them that is required.”

At times, it can be hard

to balance compassion and knowing one’s limits, Ha said. But, the smaller towns around Lubbock opening up their own shelters help with that.

It is important for any shelter to have a love for the animals, including the ones with special needs, Wilbanks said.

“You would never go into this,” Wilbanks said, “you would never do it if you didn’t have a love for animals because it takes a big part of your life.”

Extreme political beliefs threaten diversity in US

L

ately, there’s been a lot of news coverage about the far-left liberals. Since Donald Trump took office, we’ve seen the highly liberal left orchestrate demonstration after demonstration.

But, there’s another side to the spectrum just as extreme as those liberals: the far right, also known as the “alt-right.”

I hadn’t heard much about the alt-right until last year when I met a man who subscribes to those alt-right ideologies.

I knew white nationalists existed, but I had never imagined sitting down with one and having a political conversation.

I had heard alt-righters had extreme views, but a part of me didn’t want to believe there were people out there who really believed this stuff.

He was a friend of a

friend, and I decided to sit down with him to hear what he believed.

I imagined myself as a high-profile interviewer getting the scoop of the year. I could see the headline: “An inside look into the mind of an alt-righter.”

He started out talking about immigration.

He was so forceful with his words. They felt like venom in my ears.

He said United States is a white country, and it’s supposed to be for white people. I stared at him blankly, wondering what his rationale could be for that.

I remember him trying to explain — so matter-offactly — that white people don’t have their own country, and this used to be a

white-person country.

I responded with the truth that when I think of white people, I think of Europe. What about Europe?

But, there’s another side to the spectrum just as extreme as those liberals: the far right, also known as the “alt-right.”

He argued Europe has even more of minorities than we do here. He continued with the point that he wasn’t saying there can’t be any of minorities here, but we need to make sure it’s below a certain per c ent age, s o we c an keep them in the minority.

I think my jaw dropped at this point in the con-

versation. I just couldn’t believe someone who believed this stuff was sitting two feet away from me, that he was sitting in my own house.

Just as I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did.

He started talking about how he is attracted to people who look like him.

I suppose he meant people who are white.

So, I told him to date someone who looks like him, then.

His response was that if everyone is mixing, there won’t be any pure white people left.

This is where it got really weird for me. He said something like, “What if my kids want to be with someone who looks like them?” To which I responded, “White people aren’t going anywhere.

Don’t worry.”

He rebutted with the

suggestion that “down the line,” his concerns might prove valid.

Now, this is where I j u s t c o u l d n ’t w r a p m y head around what he was saying. I couldn’t take it anymore. I was trying to sit quietly and hear him out without judgment, but I just couldn’t listen any longer.

I told him I found it extremely weird that he was worried about the sexual preferences of his greatgreat-great-great-greatgreat-great-grandkids.

He looked at me in complete disbelief. He couldn’t believe that I didn’t see his side or understand his point. He had grown agitated at my reaction, and it seemed to boil over at this point.

He exclaimed in frustration that I must want my own people to go extinct.

I couldn’t hold back a

laugh. I told him I was already mixed. The conversation ended there.

Now, this is not to say that all conservatives, or even all alt-righters, align with the ideology of this one guy I had the misfortune of wasting an evening with.

H o w e v e r, t h i s d o e s show me that these fractured mentalities are still lurking in the minds of, at least some, Americans.

I learned a lot that night.

I saw a part of the world that I never expected to see.

I heard racist, sexist and xenophobic rhetoric that I had only ever pictured in my mind as coming from beneath a white hood.

There were no hoods, signs or symbols indicating his extreme beliefs.

And that was the scariest part about it. opinions@dailytoreador.com

Do not over train, under plan one’s weekly workout

T

o pick up a weight, causing one’s muscles to contract as we’re moving said weight against a field of gravity is a process known as resistance training.

However, this simple explanation of it is just the beginning.

Immediately set in motion is a physiological series of events that, if we play our cards right, will result in larger and stronger muscles.

This activity of intentional weight lifting seems even more popular today than it has been in the past.

Gyms are popping up all around us with eager humans rushing in, hoping to transform their lives and bodies. However, not everyone embracing this muscle-building process reaps the benefits.

As a fan of meritocracy and the school of thought that claims, “You get out what you put in,” it would be easy to turn down my nose at those who fail to achieve their goals.

Yet, it is not that simple. Effort does not always correlate to benefit in the gym world.

Being a personal trainer and group exercise

Austin Martin is a graduate student studying kinesiology from Dallas.

instructor, I see all kinds of people coming through the gym.

I cannot touch on all of the common gym-goer tropes because there are simply too many, but there is one type of person who always saddens me: the chronic over-exerciser.

These are the people who want to achieve their goal so badly that they never give themselves adequate time to recover.

You will see them training the same muscle group multiple days in a row, sometimes multiple times a day.

The effort is completely present for these people, but the structure and programming of their workouts is lacking.

Doing a proper “split” could solve a lot of these people’s problems.

They just need some help programming their workouts. Now, programming a workout is really not difficult if you follow a few guidelines.

First and foremost, you

need to rest each major muscle group for at least 36 to 48 hours after working it.

With running and cardio, this is not the case.

However, it is for resistance training. Give the muscle more than just one day to rest.

A split, as I mentioned earlier, is when we split our focus between a few certain muscle groups to work each day.

The most common split is working back muscles with the bicep muscles of the arm, and working the muscles of the chest with the tricep muscles of the arm.

This is because back exercises also activate the biceps as a secondary muscle. It’s the same deal with triceps and chest.

There is a plethora of ways to split up your workouts. Experienced bodybuilders may have a day in which the calves and forearms are being worked.

As ridiculous as that sounds, you have to commend them for being disciplined enough to give their other muscles a day of rest.

Wi t h p r o g r a m m i n g , you have to know what you want: strength, endurance, or hypertrophy, which are all interrelated.

Strength — the ability to generate force — is often trained by interacting with heavier weight for six or fewer repetitions and performing two to six sets.

When strength train-

Hypertrophy — an increase in muscle size — is trained by using medium to heavy weight for six to 12 repetitions and performing three to six sets.

Muscular endurance — the ability to repeatedly exert force against resistance – is trained by performing 12 or more repetitions for two to three sets.

For both endurance a n d h y p e r t r o p h y, y o u should rest for around 30 seconds between sets.

The National Strength and Conditioning Association further lays out these guidelines in “Essentials of Strength Training and Conditioning.”

Remember, these concepts are incredibly interrelated. Therefore, a standard bread-and-butter program during which you lift three sets of 10 repetitions with a relatively heavy weight will address all three facets.

You may wonder which is the most important — hypertrophy, strength or endurance? It depends on what you want to gain, but most programs have a little bit of each at some point.

If you can’t keep up with counting your sets and repetitions very well, just rely on your watch.

Time your rests. On some days, do 30-second rests, some days do oneminute rests.

Over the past few years, timing rests has helped me avoid plateauing, and in my opinion, it is the most important aspect of an exercise program.

WOMEN’S GOLF

Page 5 Monday, Feb. 13, 2017

Barker, Mason record even-par rounds The Texas Tech women’s golf team members comprised of junior Gabby Barker and redshirt junior Lauren Mason hit evenpar rounds in the opening round of the Lady Puerto Rico Classic.

Following 18 holes at the Rio Mar Country Club, the Lady Raiders are in second place, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Tech leads eight schools that are ranked higher in

the latest Golfweek poll: No. 6 Georgia, No. 10 Arkansas, No. 13 Purdue, No. 15 Kent State and No. 23 Baylor, according to the release.

“I thought we played well today,” coach JoJo Robertson said. “The team looked great out there. We have two more days, and we will just try to improve where we can.”

The Lady Raiders hit 12 birdies in 18 holes. Barker, Mason, sophomore Mami

Ya m a m o t o , s o p h o m o r e Emma Ballard and freshman Sofia Garcia each had a hand in those 12 birdies, according to the release.

This is the second straight year the Lady Raiders have opened play in Puerto Rico with a low round. Tech recorded a 5-under 283 to start the tournament.

Barker and Mason both hit 72 cards to lead the Lady Raiders to a 4-over-par 292 opening round, according to

the release.

Tech finished the first day with one stroke ahead of third place Kent State and two strokes higher than TCU and Georgia, which are tied for fourth place. Tech is also two strokes behind first place Furman, according to the release.

Barker birdied on her final hole at the par-3 10th.

Ballard also did the same at the par-4 13th. These birdies boosted the Lady

Raiders up late.

Both Barker and Mason are tied for eighth individually, while Yamamoto, who carded a 1-over 73, is tied for 17th, according to the release.

Ballad finished Tech’s card with a 3-over score to tie for 29th overall. Garcia is tied for 56th after coming in at 6-over to finish off the day, according to the release.

Haylee Hartford of Furman and Maria Vesga of

Baylor led for the first round after hitting 2-under cards.

Barker and Mason trailed the five-way tie for third place at 1-under par, according to the release.

Tech will be paired with Furman and Kent State for second round that is set to start at 7 a.m. today.

SOFTBALL

Tech closes off Century Link Classic with loss The Texas Tech softball team finished its final Century Link Classic game with a loss, making it 3-2 on the season so far.

The Red Raiders fell to Texas A&M Corpus Christi, 2-0, making it the first game in which Tech has not scored a run this season, according to Tech Athletics.

The Red Raiders also registered no hits against the Islanders. This has not happened since April 12, 2013,

when the Red Raiders failed to register any hits against No. 1 Oklahoma, according to Tech Athletics.

The first and last score of the game came in the top of the sixth when freshman Islander Kandance Johnson hit a home run to left field, allowing her and her teammate senior Mackinzee Griebel to score.

This put Texas A&M Corpus Christi up late in the game.

Tech’s final chance to score was in the bottom

of the seventh. Freshman outfielder Raina O’Neal was the first to step up to bat but flied out to right field. Then, senior Kierra Miles grounded out to third base. Finally, sophomore Jessica Hartwell stepped up to the plate and struck out swinging, ending the game, according to Tech Athletics.

Senior infielder Ashley Fultz and O’Neal each walked once in the game.

Junior infielder/catcher Al-

lison Knopp had one sacrifice bunt in the game.

Tech cycled through three pitchers, including senior right-hander Dominique Alcocer, who started the game; freshman right-hander Hannah Broseman; and freshman right-hander Kassidy Scott. With Broseman on the mound, the Islanders hit the home run that brought them up to the 2-0 lead.

With the loss to the Islanders, Broseman is 1-1 on

the mound this season.

Islanders’ pitcher senior Liz Carter pitched a no hitter, which was her first of the season. Carter is 1-2 on the season with the win against Tech being the first for Texas A&M Corpus Christi.

Up next, Tech will participate in the Puerto Vallarta College Challenge that will take place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

The Red Raiders will play Cal-State Fullerton at

4 p.m. Thursday and then Florida Gulf Coast at 7 p.m. the same day, according to Tech Athletics.

On Friday, the Tech will play Mississippi State at 7 p.m., which will be followed by a 9 a.m. re-match game against Cal-State Fullerton on Saturday. Then, Tech will have another 9 a.m. game against Fresno State on Feb. 19 to cap off the challenge, according to Tech Athletics.

BASKETBALL

“Our guys are veterans.

There’s five seniors in the locker room and five juniors.

I don’t worry about (mentality). Our guys compete, and they will be back in the gym later today.”

According to Baylor Athletics, the Bears have an overall record of 22-3 on the season with a conference record of 9-3. On the road, Baylor has a record of 5-2.

The Bears are coming off a two-game winning streak over Oklahoma State, 72-69, and TCU, 70-52.

As for the one-point loss to Kansas, Smith said it is time to look forward and leave the games played in the past.

“It hurts,” Smith said regarding the loss to the Jayhawks, “but we have another game coming up on Monday. So, we just have to

move forward.”

Despite the home loss to Kansas, the Red Raiders have protected home court with a record of 14-2 when playing in the USA, according to Tech Athletics.

The two-game losing streak puts the Red Raiders in an unlikely spot to move on to the postseason. Beard said he will do everything in his power to help the players rise above adversity.

“My job is to do everything I can to help our players win,” Beard said. “Nobody cares more than I do about getting these guys over this hump.

But, this isn’t my time, this is these guys’ time. This season, it doesn’t have much to do with me. I’m living in the moment. It’s the precious present that matters to me.”

TexasTech junior guard Justin Gray gets back on defense during the men's basketball game against Kansas in the United Supermarkets Arena on Saturday. Tech was defeated by No. 3 Kansas, 80-79, and will aim to break its losing streak when it hosts No. 5 Baylor at 6 p.m. today in the United Supermarkets Arena.

The Big 12 is a tough conference to compete in, coach Chris Beard said, but he knows his team has what it takes to get those wins in close games.

“We are getting better.

There’s no question we are a better team than we were a couple of weeks ago when Oklahoma State hammered us at home,” Beard said. “Just in this league, it’s so brutal.”

With two losses in a row, one would think that moral would be low, but that is not the case for the Red Raiders, Beard said.

“I have a lot of things to worry about, and that’s not one of them,” Beard said.

WOMEN’S TENNIS

Tech sweeps No. 3 Pepperdine in consolation match After falling to No. 1 Florida in the ITA National Indoor Championship quarterfinals, the No. 12 Texas Tech women’s tennis team defeated the No. 3 Pepperdine Waves on Sunday in a consolation match in New Haven, Connecticut.

Tech picked up its highest-ranked win in school history with this defeat, according to a Tech Athletics news release. Tech is now 5-2 on the year.

Tech got off to a good start by picking up the doubles point.

Sophomore Felicity Maltby and junior Gabriela Talaba picked up their second

ranked win on the weekend as they defeated No. 28 Luisa Stefani and Jean Runglerdkriangkrai, 6-2, for Tech’s first court victory of the match.

However, Pepperdine duo No. 4 Christine Maddox and Mayar Sherif Ahmed earned a win against Tech’s No. 23 junior duo Sabrina Federici and Sarah Dvorak, 6-4.

The Lady Raiders were able to gain the doubles point with a win by freshman Alba Cortina-Pou and sophomore Alex Valenstein, 7-5. According to the release, this was the duo’s first win.

In singles play, Valenstein

increased the Tech lead to 2-0, which was also her first win over a ranked opponent.

Ta l a b a t h e n e a r n e d Tech its third point and notched another topschool honor, according to the release.

Talaba defeated No. 7 Stefani, 6-3 and 7-5, to pick up the second-highest ranked singles win in school history, according to the release.

She picked up the school’s top-ranked win when she defeated Miami’s Sinead Lohan, who was ranked No. 6 at the time, in the Miami Spring Invitational on Jan. 21, according

to the release.

Up 3-0, Pepperdine’s Dzina Milovanovic was defaulted by a referee, according to the release, giving Tech the 4-0 sweep. She was matched up with Federici, who was leading the match, 6-3, 2-0, when the match was called.

“I can’t say enough about this group’s fearless approach to the match,” Tech coach Todd Petty said in the release. “I am so lucky to get to work with such an amazing group. Everyone was the MVP tonight. They deserve it.”

LAWSUIT

of disregarding witnesses’ statements based on a bias because the complainant is Caucasian and “John Doe” is an African-American, according to the AJ. According to a court document provided to the AJ, the lawsuit has yet to be served to Tech and has the possibility of being dismissed during a hearing in March.

The student’s representative, attorney Brian Roark, would not confirm or deny his client’s name to the AJ. “I am not going to comment on that one way or the other,” Roark said in a phone interview with AJ Media.

The sexual assault allegations were brought to the attention of the university by the complainant, according

to the AJ. In the lawsuit, the student alleges that the “witnesses from that night remember the (woman) being awake, alert, talking, walking and otherwise behaving like a person who had capacity to consent, at all times immediately leading up to (them) having sex,” according to the AJ. It also states that the com-

He alleges the university used unreliable methods to determine if the complainant was unable to consent as well as accuses the panel

If the case goes to trial, the student requests a forensic toxicologist to testify in court that the intoxication scale used in his hearing was “unscientific and unreliable as an investigative tool,” according to the AJ. Tech used the intoxication scale in the hearing and called for witnesses to rate the woman’s level of

intoxication from a scale of one to 10 in regards to their recollection of the woman’s behavior that night, according to the AJ. The student’s objective is to clear his name in what is alleged as an unfair hearing because the decision was based on bias and false accusations made by the complainant, according to the AJ. It is unclear if the lawsuit will be settled outside of court or if it will go to a civil trial, Tech officials said to the AJ. @ABoutwellDT

ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jordan Spieth breezes to big win at Pebble Beach PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Jordan Spieth soaked up every step of scenery on the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, one of the prettiest places in golf and even more spectacular on a Sunday when the only work left is to hoist the crystal trophy.

All that was missing from the AT&T Pebble Beach ProAm were the highlights.

That’s just how Spieth wanted it.

Staked to a six-shot lead, Spieth never gave anyone much of a chance by putting for birdie on all but one hole. The lone highlight was his 30-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole with the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop, and by then it was already over.

“Played a lot of boring golf today,” Spieth said, “which was exactly what we needed.”

He closed with a 2-under 70 for a four-shot victory over former U.S. Amateur champion Kelly Kraft, a close friend from Dallas who couldn’t get a putt to fall that might have put a little pressure on Spieth.

As easy and clinical as Spieth made it look, it was no less special.

“This is a bucket-list place to win — here, Augusta National, St. Andrews, there’s only a few in the world. It feels really special. It was amazing walking up the 18th green knowing that we were going to win. It’s just such a unique position. I tried to soak in.”

It was his first 54-hole lead on the PGA Tour since the Masters, where he lost a five-shot lead on the back nine. On this day, Spieth thought back to the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and the way Tiger Woods closed out his record 15shot victory by trying not to drop a shot in the final round. Woods didn’t make a bogey over the final 26 holes in severe conditions. On a course saturated by rain, Spieth played the final 28 holes without a bogey. His longest par putt Sunday was five feet.

“That’s a dream round when you’re leading by a bunch,” Spieth said.

The 23-year-old Texan won for the ninth time in his PGA Tour and became the first player since Woods with that many victories before turning 24. Woods won 15 times. Equally impressive is that Spieth won for the fifth time by at least three shots.
