Tuition costs and the need for a college degree seem to be directly related as tuition costs have been rising and it is almost necessary to have at least an associate degree for most jobs.

Since 1978, college tuition has increased by more than 900 percent, according to the Students for Educational Debt Reform, and Congress provides six times as many loans as financial aid grants, leaving two-thirds of students graduating college with a bachelor’s degree with more than $25,000 in student loan debt.

Melissa Winton, a freshman nutrition major from Carrollton, said she looks for and tries to get all the money she can to help pay

for school costs.

“Tuition is really expensive,” she said, “and I’m just trying to do what I can to help out my family and pay for my school.”

Pay it Forward, Pay it Back is a plan that was first introduced in Oregon, according to the Students for Education Reform, but has now spread to 17 other states, including Maine and Washington.

The program would pay for students’ tuition, according to SFER, and require students pay back a percentage of their income for the 24 years after their graduation.

“I wouldn’t want to graduate knowing that I have to pay off my tuition for the next 20-something years,” Winton said.

“With loans, I know how much I have left to pay and can work really hard to pay it all off right away.”

The percentages, according to SFER, are 1.5 percent for an associate degree, 3 percent for a bachelor’s degree and 4 percent for a master’s degree.

This program would first operate from outside grants and donations, according to SFER, but would be profitable in its 18th year of existence and would be able to pay for other students out of what graduates are paying back.

“I guess it’s a good program for some students,” she said, “but personally, I don’t find it helpful or worthwhile in my life.”

National student loan debt is currently more than $1 trillion, according to SFER, and companies providing these loans are making profit from defaulted payments.

Under Pay it Forward, according to SFER, students would pay the percentages of their

income, no matter the job, and not have to worry about set amounts to pay off loans that they may or may not be able to make.

“Of course it’s stressful to find the money to pay for college,” Winton said, “but it would be more stressful for me to have to pay bills and things but have to delete part of my income every month and not even use it.”

Larry Seaquist, Oregon state representative who introduced the program to the house in Oregon, said in an Associate Press article this bill will help students find other ways to access higher education.

Barriers have been present for low-and middle class-income families in the last decade, he said, and this plan breaks down those barriers.

Texas Tech HSC professor SGA tries to gain 5,000 receives millions in grant Facebook ‘likes’ during drive

By AMY CUNNINGHAM Staff Writer

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded a grant to Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center for the first time in Tech System’s history.

Afzal Siddiqui, a Grover E. Murray Distinguished professor in the School of Medicine, received $2,849,281 to further his research in schistosomiasis, a parasitic disease, according to an HSC news release.

Of parasitic diseases, only malaria kills more people than schistosomiasis does, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

The disease impacts 74 different countries, Siddiqui said. Currently, 200 million people are infected, with another 800 million individuals at risk of infection.

“Our research is to develop a vaccine which prevents the infection as well as treats the infection,” he said.

“The money is to refine and optimize the vaccine so we can apply for IND approval from the FDA so we can use it in clinical trials.”

Siddiqui hopes it will only be three to five years until phase one of clinical trials, but the entire process takes many ADVERTISING: 806-742-3384

more years. The clinical trials will cost $20 million total, he said.

Steven Berk, executive vice president, provost and dean of the School of Medicine, said SIDDIQUI the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation cares about the overall health of the world and gives Siddiqui’s research credibility.

“This is a great opportunity for Dr. Siddiqui to continue his research that could have an effect at a world level,” he said. “He’s been working on this vaccine for a decade. He’s not the only one in the world trying to develop a vaccine, but it looks like he’s a real leader in the fight against this disease.”

Siddiqui has spent more than two decades working with parasitic diseases and researching for vaccines, Berk said.

In the past five years, Siddiqui has received more than $4 million in funding and is funded as a principal investigator by NIH, according to the release.

The Texas Tech Student Government Association will attempt to reflect voter turnout from this year’s SGA elections through its Facebook “Like” Drive.

The goal for SGA’s drive, which began March 28, is to reach 5,000 likes on Facebook

by April 17, according to an SGA release.

Jill Berger, current SGA internal vice president, said SGA hopes to have a Facebook page reflecting the number of students who voted in this year’s SGA elections.

“This year we had about 20 percent of the student body vote,” she said. “We just want our numbers to reflect the people who voted.”

Luke Cotton, current SGA president, said the social media drive will also facilitate SGA outreach to the Tech student body.

“Before we started the drive, we were sitting at about 3,608 likes,” he said. “We want to increase the number of students we outreach to on Facebook just because it’s such an easy way to get information and quickly.”

The idea to start a Facebook like drive was influenced by SGA members from the 48th legislative session.

“The public relations directors then had a Facebook like drive in the fall semester,” Cotton said.

Students who like SGA’s Facebook page

FAX: 806-742-2434

will enter for a chance to win Kliff Kingsbury promotional merchandise.

“April 17 we will find out whether or not they (Tech students) won a piece of Kilff Kingsbury signed merchandise of either a football or a mini football helmet,” Cotton said.

SGA senators are encouraged to participate in the social media drive. Senators who get the most people to like SGA on Facebook will also receive Kliff Kingsbury signed merchandise.

Cotton said he encourages any students who want to stop by the office and try to get 25 of their friends or get the most likes of anybody. If they do so, they can also win a piece of Kliff Kingsbury signed merchandise.

“Rather than leaving it up to chance, they can go out there and get a bunch of their friends to like the page and win this piece of merchandise,” he said.

Reaching out to the student population on social media is important, Cotton said.

“It’s important students know what we are doing in our office, and they have more of an idea on what is going on,” he said. “We sit on fee committees that make recommendations to the board of regents that affect how much money you pay for your school.”

Students who want to win one of the Kliff Kingsbury signed items must pick up a form at the SGA office on the third floor of the Student Union building.

Students must submit their forms to the SGA office before 5 p.m. April 17. ➤➤dgaytan@dailytoreador.com

“He’s had great success with developing through the National Institutes of Health,” Berk said, “but he’s sort of at the next level where it’s so expensive to do all of the testing. Right now, prevention of the disease has more to do with providing clean water, but through the Gates Foundation, this would be the best opportunity.”

Although it may be years before clinical trials, Siddiqui said he thinks they are on the cusp of getting approval from the Food and Drug Administration for testing.

The foundation noticed his research and invited him to apply for a grant, Siddiqui said. The process took more than two years.

“The process is very, very rigorous,”

he said. “I gave several presentations to the foundation’s officials. I had to send even my raw data so their experts could analyze it.”

After an eight-month review process, Siddiqui received the grant. The foundation likely looks for innovative approaches, he said.

His vaccine targets a particular function of the parasite in order to prevent it from changing its membrane to avoid the body’s defensive system.

“It affects a protein which is very important in the survival of the parasite,” he said. “What happens is that this parasite can live in somebody’s body for 20 years, even if antibodies attack it. The vaccine is against a protein that is very important in the changing of its membrane.”

People obtain the disease through contact with contaminated water, according to the release. The parasite digs

into the skin and eventually moves to the lungs and liver.

Although schistosomiasis is virtually unknown in the U.S., Siddiqui said Texas has the highest rates of parasitic infections in the country and should be a concern.

The U.S. government cares a lot about these kinds of diseases, he said, because schistosomiasis has occurred in nearby Puerto Rico and other places where tourists and military personnel may travel.

“These diseases don’t recognize borders,” Siddiqui said. “We may think we don’t have it, but we do. There are recent papers that show we have almost every parasite you can think of. We don’t see the intensity of it, but we do have all of these.”

For example, he said more than 9 million American women have a parasitic, sexually transmitted disease called trichomoniasis. However, because it

is transmitted through sexual contact, many view it as a taboo topic and do not address it.

Because many national institutes exist that combat parasitic diseases, Siddiqui said Americans pay for the research through taxes and should care about these parasites.

His team currently consists of two post-doctoral scholars, three doctoral students, one technician and several students. The grant will allow the hiring of five or six doctoral investigators, he said.

“When you have that kind of talent added to one program,” he said, “it adds to the whole institution. You’re bringing these intelligent people who will interact with others. It will benefit everyone.”

The grant benefits HSC as a whole because it brings the school’s research to a national and global forefront, Berk said. ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

Army: Fort Hood suspect had requested leave before shooting FORT HOOD (AP) — Army investigators on Monday released a more detailed timeline of last week’s fatal shootings at Fort Hood, describing an eightminute rampage in which the suspect fired 35 shots over an area spanning the equivalent of two city blocks.

Three people were killed and 16 others wounded in the shooting spree before the suspect, Spc. Ivan Lopez, killed himself, authorities said.

During a news conference

Monday, Army spokesman Chris Grey said the shootings at the Texas post followed an argument related to Lopez’s request for taking leave, but he didn’t indicate whether it was granted or describe circumstances behind the request.

A spokesman for Lopez’s family said last week that Lopez was upset he was granted only a 24hour leave to attend his mother’s funeral in November. That leave was then extended to two days.

The shooting spree Wednesday ended when Lopez killed himself

with his .45-caliber pistol after confronting a female military police officer, who Grey said fired once at Lopez but didn’t strike him.

Providing the most detail yet about the second mass shooting at Fort Hood in five years, Grey mapped out how Lopez opened fire in the building where the argument began before leaving and driving away, shooting at times from his car. The three who died were gunned down in separate locations.

Hance deserves praise for work to improve Tech Francis Cobbinah Tech System, is one of such gracious and insightful people whom humanity has been blessed with and is worth celebrating.

I have come to respect him for his invaluable contribution to making Tech a better place to be and for his overall commitment to education.

Hance took office on Dec. 1, 2006, according to the Tech website. From that time, his favorite quote, “Dream no little dreams,” has indeed propelled him to spearhead the transformation of the Tech System. Today we can be proud of him because he has played a significant role in advancing the core values and

the mission of Tech.

Under his auspicious leadership, the Tech System, which once was comprised of just Tech and the Tech Health Sciences Center, has grown into four institutions with the addition of Angelo State University in 2007 and the transition of the Te c h H e a l t h Sciences Center in El Paso into its own independent school within the Tech System in May 2013.

It is overwhelmingly impressive to also note that at a time when the United States has gone through harsh economic crises, Hance spearheaded Vision & Tradition: The Campaign for Texas Tech, the largest and most successful fundraising effort in

Soldiers should be armed on bases

By LAURA MEYERS

The Collegian (Kansas sTaTe U.)

When Voltaire said, “Common sense is not so common,” I wonder if he was talking about U.S legislators.

Between 1992 and 1993, a two-part mandate was enforced under Bill Clinton’s administration. Part of the bill, written and signed into law under the former President George H.W. Bush’s administration is the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 5210.56, which works to “limit and control the carrying of firearms by DoD military and civilian personnel.” According to the directive, firearms on military bases were limited to “qualified personnel,” which included for those “engaged in law enforcement or security duties, protecting personnel, vital Government assets, or guarding prisoners;” basically making it so that only authorized officers and military police have access to loaded weaponry.

I just don’t understand this nonsense. I understand that Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelious isn’t held to the same requirements as the public on Obamacare because the legislation and coverage sucks. I understand former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stayed with her husband after his public infidelity, while still claiming to be an empowering

feminist simply because she wanted to save her own political behind. But I will never understand the hypocrisy behind our legislators not allowing soldiers to carry weapons while on base.

These men and women are trained with their weapons from the very start.

They are deployed with their weapons.

They face combat with their weapons.

They protect the innocent with their weapons. They kill enemies with their weapons. They save their lives with their weapons. They save their fellow soldiers’ lives with their weapons. They maintain our freedoms with their weapons. But after all of this, some legislator with a tie is entitled to tell our soldiers on base that they don’t know how to be responsible with their weapons?

The president that was in term when this mandate was implemented wasn’t even responsible for his own marriage, for starters. But, I digress.

My first question is “Why the hell is this still law?” You would think after the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that resulted in the death of 13 American heroes, someone would say, “Maybe we should provide our soldiers some form of protection from enemies. After all, they did pledge their lives to protecting our country’s freedoms.” But I’m just a kid, what do I know?

At the reception honoring Hance on April 2, I stood in awe as I listened to t h i s e x t r a o rdinary gentleman direct all the praises to his colleagues, supporters and team workers.

“I couldn’t have done this without you all and I am ever grateful for your support,” Hance said.

For me, this was the ultimate act of selflessness, gratitude and humility. For those of us who would have received all the praise without acknowledging

A

nation that does not celebrate its heroes is definitely not worth dying for. Most of the time, we do not appreciate our heroes when they are alive. We wait for them to pass on and then we go to their funerals to eulogize them with endearing words.

As a matter of fact, this makes no point. We have to celebrate our heroes and the very ones who have dared to be different while they are with us and not when they are in the cold grips of death.

Thankfully, this trend of praising people only after they are dead and gone is beginning to change. It is satisfying to see such positive changes occur since it encourages people to strive to be the best they can be. I am pleased that nowadays, exceptional people are celebrated on a daily basis.

other team workers, Hance’s quote presents us with a vital lesson to learn from, a lesson of gratitude and appreciation.

Nelson Mandela, the former president of South Africa, made a perfect statement when he said, “Education is the most powerful tool that can be used to change the world.”

Without any doubt, Hance was under no obligation to serve Tech in the capacity he has, but he chose to toe the line of education and to leave an indelible legacy for the younger generation. In doing so, he has given us the most powerful weapon that we can use to shape our lives and to change our world.

For this, we can all be proud of him as the one who has been a fatherly figure for Tech, a priceless gem who deserves to be on every billboard across the length and breadth of Texas because of his immense contribution to education. However, no amount

We’ve seen genetically modified foods are a controversial topic in news so what if there were to be genetically modified humans? That would surely raise a contentious debate simply due to the questionable ethics and medical implications. There are researchers who’ve founded a new fertilization technique that aims to keep mothers from passing on genetic diseases to their children, a noble purpose reached by unacceptable means.

Of course, no one wants their child to have to a severe disability, but altering the child’s DNA by adding a third person’s is just not biologically correct, not to mention it may have implications on the pro-life argument.

Of course, this is not as simple as whether genetic modification in humans is right or wrong because there are related issues like “designer babies” that need to be considered too.

Researcher Shoukhrat Mitalipov of the University of Oregon defends his research by labeling it “gene correction” and not “gene mutation.” He was present at a Food and Drug Administration conference devoted to deciding whether this procedure of altering DNA should be allowed or whether it should be nixed. Apparently, he had successfully tested his procedure and had produced five healthy monkeys with “corrected” DNA. He explains that since defective

mitochondrial DNA is passed on only from the mother and not the father, nucleus DNA can be taken from a healthy donor’s eggs and can replace the biological mother’s mitochondrial DNA. With this specific technique, only the defective DNA is replaced so the baby will still inherit eye color and other traits from the real mother, just not the mutated genes. This insertion of genes from a third party is where the “three DNA” babies and genetically modified human labels come in along with the controversy.

As mentioned, the purpose of preventing mutated DNA from being transferred to the unborn child makes sense at face value because no parent wants their child to have a disease or something that will keep them from being healthy but this purpose raises a whole other issue. It slightly relates to the pro-life argument because it is altering the child that would have won in the “lottery of life.” If the baby had naturally been conceived from the thousands of the mother’s eggs, it deserves the chance to be born as it is naturally fertilized. This procedure is essentially changing the baby that would have been carried because it is not the fetus that would have naturally been born. Also, what happens to the donor’s eggs? They have genes missing and obviously they are not going to be replaced with the defective genes. So are those eggs just thrown away after use? There goes that potential

was this made law?” I researched like a maniac for the motivation behind the dumb mandate, for this article’s sake, and couldn’t find reasoning anywhere.

My lack of discovery was evidence to me that the “common sense” behind this nonsense law is not so common.

I understand that the traumatic events that our soldiers face can be lifealtering. I understand and accept that post-traumatic stress disorder is a very real thing. I’m also not denying that that there is a potential for violence or outbursts within military bases. It is, for the fact that I accept this matter, that I support the importance of arming on-base soldiers. If a nearby soldier was armed, the deaths in both Fort Hood shootings could very well be decreased from 16 to a single-digit number, or possibly none.

So then, let’s do something about it.

Let us allow the same people that defend us and our nation defend themselves.

A call to action is necessary. President Obama, if you and your administration are truly as “heartbroken” as you told the American people this week, then do something. You can reverse this bill that leaves our nation’s heroes defenseless with simply a stroke of your pen. We all know you’re really good at that, so make something besides your golf game a first priority.

Genetic modification presses against ethical line

of praise or appreciation can even match up to his dedication and commitment to Tech. The least we can all do is send our thanks.

We can all learn great acts of humility, dedication, commitment and service from Hance.

Wisdom, drive, focus and patience are a few of the many qualities that sum up his incredible personality.

I could go on and on writing about Hance, but in short, this hero deserves every bit of honor for a selfless life worthy of emulation.

Hance was brave enough to believe he could impact Tech and talented enough to do it.

For his invaluable contribution to the cause of students and education, we should all be eternally grateful.

child’s chance to live. All technicalities aside, a child is not meant to have the DNA of three people.

The human reproductive model includes a mother and a father, and the child that is made is a combination of the two, mutations and all. The model does not include picking and choosing which parts the parents want to keep or trash. If our grandparents’ generation didn’t have this luxury then we shouldn’t either.

On the topic of our technological luxuries, it is worth discussing designer babies as related to the controversy. This sort of cutting and pasting of genes is flirting with the issue that is designer babies. Designer babies and gene correction are denying certain children from being born because science is catering to the parent’s desires. If the parents want and choose a blue-eyed blondie, then the green-eyed brunette is denied its equal chance at life. So too with disabilities and diseases, it is a slippery slope. Parents don’t want a child that will be suffering a hard life, and it is regrettable that the child has to feel pain, but does that warrant the parents to say “no” to that egg that should become a miracle of life? Going back to our grandparents’ generation, they didn’t have the choice of how their children came out, so should we? And furthermore, children with disabilities and illnesses are just as precious, if not more precious, and this procedure should not be a cop out to avoid hardship. Mutations happen and that’s life.

Got Opinions?

So I think that even though technology is very important, it is also a curse. Just because we have the technology to do this gene swapping doesn’t necessarily mean we should. Readers had a lot of good points on this topic, like the confusion the child will have when it learns that is has two moms or was born of a science experiment. Is it worth the hard conversations and explanations? Will they be Frankenbabies? Besides, there are thousands of healthy, orphaned kids that need to be adopted, if avoiding disease and illnesses are what parents are after. A beautiful solution and no science experiments necessary.

GlobaLinks hosts first study abroad tour

By TAYLOR PEACE Staff Writer

GlobaLinks hosted a study abroad tour from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Monday in the Human Sciences building for students who want to study abroad in Australia.

Steve Luther, director of Specialty Programs Outreach and Development for GlobaLinks Learning Abroad, said this is the first time GlobaLinks set up a tour at Texas Tech, and they are excited to get the opportunity to do so.

GlobaLinks is a study abroad company from West Minister, Colo., Luther said. The company helps send more than 3,000 students every year to study abroad and is proud to come talk to Tech students about the opportunities it offers.

“University representatives from Australia came over to speak to students who were interested in studying abroad,” he said. “Each university caters to a different major, so all students are offered plenty of decisions on where they would like to study.”

Some of the specific universities are Sydney Australia, University of South Whales, UTF Sydney, Australian College of Physical Education and Health and the International College of Management.

Luther said FDA Travel was also cosponsoring the event with GlobaLinks.

“With them, we are going to give students a chance to register and win a $500 travel voucher for their excursions,” he said. “Students will be able to use this money for anything they would like, such as airline tickets, lodging or spending money.”

With Australia being the second most popular study abroad site, he said he believes this will give students a definite insight into what to expect when choosing where to study.

“GlobaLinks strives to raise light on the importance and opportunities of studying abroad for students,” Luther said.

“This is very exciting for our company as well as the representatives involved, and we can’t wait to do this again and again.”

The tour brought representatives from 10 of Australia’s top universities and will be heading to five different university

campuses across the country this week.

Unlike other study abroad fairs, this will be an opportunity for students to talk directly with the representatives from Australian universities to determine which program will best fit their study abroad goals, according to GlobaLinks’ website.

Kyle Roberts, a senior exercise and sport sciences major from Sunnyvale, studied abroad in Australia last semester and said it was the best experience of his life.

He said being in Australia gave him an overall global perspective on what he was studying, which was business at the time.

“It really sheds some light on international economics,” Roberts said. “It showed me everything they do over there and how different the world is outside of our own country.”

He said studying abroad helped him meet people from all different sides of the world, which has helped him gain a whole new outlook on what he wants to do with his career.

Meeting all of these different people showed him there is much more outside of his own world, Roberts said, and it really opened his mind to other people’s thoughts and ideas.

“Studying abroad really helped me expand my mind,” he said. “Meeting all these new people and being in a completely different place really changed my outlook on life and on my future as a whole.”

Roberts said if a student is given the opportunity to study abroad, then he or she should take it up as soon as possible.

“If I hadn’t studied abroad, I wouldn’t

Crockett scores six points in All-Star game Two Red Raiders named Texas Tech senior forward Jaye Crockett finished the Reese’s Division I All-Star Game with six points and seven rebounds as he and the West All-Stars lost 85-75 to the East All-Stars on Friday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

“I was hoping for 30 points and 15 rebounds, but it didn’t work out like that for me,” Crockett said in a news release from Tech Athletics. “Overall, it was a great experience. I made some good friends and had the

opportunity to play in a place l i k e AT & T Stadium on the same court as the Final Four.

AccordCROCKETT ing to a Tech news release, Crockett is one of five players in school history to record 1,000 points, 600 rebounds, 100 assists and 100 steals in a career.

Although his team lost,

Crockett said playing in the game was a great experience.

“This was special for me,” he said. “The outcome wasn’t what I wanted, but it was a great experience and I got to play in this atmosphere in front of my friends and family.”

The West All-Stars finished the game shooting 31.3 percent from the field, but shot 25.6 percent in the first half.

“Shots just were not falling for us tonight,” Crockett said.

“We had good looks, but they

were not going in.”

During his five years as a Red Raider, Crockett persevered through four head coaches and played in 125 career games, according to the Tech news release.

Crockett said he wants to continue playing basketball after leaving Tech.

“My goal now is to get an agent and go from there,” he said. “This was a great way to cap off my college career and represent Texas Tech.” ➤➤rrose@dailytoreador.com

Tech men’s golf finishes third Female golfer places second The Texas Tech men’s golf team finished in third place at the Aggie Invitational on Sunday in College Station, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Junior Clement Sordet shot a 217 and finished third place individually in the tournament, according to the release. He finished just five strokes behind the leader, Brandon Hagy, from the University of California.

Texas, A&M and LSU would tie for first place after a 30-minute rain delay during the final round. No more than five strokes would separate the top three teams during the final nine holes of play, according the release.

The tournament was the end of the regular season for the Red Raiders and they will now turn their focus to the Big 12 Championship April 25th in Trinity. ➤➤tdorner@dailytoreador.com

Wacha pitches Cards past Reds ST. LOUIS (AP) — Home opener hoopla was no distraction at all for Michael Wacha. Neither was the 49-degree chill for the first pitch.

The 22-year-old rookie was definitely excited about the occasion and the opportunity. Just like last fall when he was the breakout pitching star of the postseason, he fed off the atmosphere.

“Huge crowd out there, a lot of energy,” Wacha said after the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-3 on Monday. “It’s a lot of fun pitching in front of your home crowd, 40,000-plus fans.

“I don’t know who wouldn’t thrive

off those kind of situations.”

Wacha outdid Tony Cingrani in a rematch of young power arms, and the Cardinals got a three-run double from Yadier Molina in the first inning.

“I didn’t have my fastball, so what are you going to do? I just tried to battle,” Cingrani said. “One bad pitch and it cleared the bases.”

A standing-room crowd of 47,492, the largest at 9-year-old Busch Stadium, braved daylong rain to greet the National League champions and take a look at the new Ballpark Village.

Hundreds milled about the attached complex, which features five sports bars and rooftop seating.

to official NWSL roster

Sky Blue FC, a National Women’s Soccer League, released its official roster Monday, according to a news release from Tech athletics, and two former Red Raiders made the cut.

Their names are Taylor Lytle and Hayley Haagsma.

Lytle is entering her second season with club based in New Jersey, but before she began playing for Sky Blue FC, she built a résumé in Lubbock from 2008 to 2011. Lettering in each of those years, Lytle recorded a career-leading 27 assists.

Her fellow teammate and Red Raider, Haagsma, may have been named to the official roster, but an injury is keeping her from playing during the 2014 season, according

to the release.

Before Sky Blue FC drafted Haagsma, she scored four goals in her last season, including a HAAGSMA game-winner against eventual Big 12 Conference champion West Virginia. Accolades like this earned the team captain the honor of becoming an Academic AllAmerican.

Lytle will begin the 2014 NWSL season at 8 p.m. Saturday against FC Kansas City at Durwood Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. ➤➤dhaile@dailytoreador.com

Angels rough up Astros 9-1 HOUSTON (AP) — Jarred Cosart pitched a first inning to forget on Monday.

And as is often the case with these young Houston Astros, his struggles early against the Los Angeles Angels provided a teachable moment for manager Bo Porter.

C.J. Wilson pitched eight solid innings, Howie Kendrick and Raul Ibanez each drove in three runs and the Angels beat the Astros 9-1.

Cosart was done in by an opening inning in which he had to use 32 pitches. He was pulled after allowing three hits, five runs and walking four in six innings.

It was a disappointing second start for the 23-year-old who threw five scoreless frames for the win in his 2014 debut against the Yankees.

“I was proud of the job that he was able to do to get us through six

innings,” Porter said. “I told him: ‘If you want to be a front-of-therotation guy in the major leagues you’re not going to have your ‘A’ stuff all the time. It’s not going to go right all the time. But the reason you’re in the front of the rotation is because you’re going to chew up innings even when you don’t have your good stuff.”

Cosart said he felt lethargic in the first inning and struggled to find his groove.

“I spotted them three runs and with a lineup like that and with a team like that you can’t do that,” he said. “It’s hard for our team to play from behind obviously. I kind of had us back on our heels.”

The Angels took three of four from Houston after starting the season 0-3.

Kendrick drove in two with a single in a three-run first inning.
