Cheyene Powell provides veteran leadership for Red Raiders

By NOAH MICIOTTO Staff Writer

The Texas Tech softball team is a young team, but despite their overall young age, the Red Raiders have seen improvement from last season, and part of that success is due to the influence of the senior class.

Out of the three seniors, Cheyene Powell is perhaps the most dynamic for the Red Raiders. The righthanded pitcher from Blanchard, OK started her career at Oregon University in 2015, according to Tech Athletics. In her debut season, Powell’s team at Oregon won the

Pac-12 Conference and reached the NCAA Women’s College World Series tournament.

After playing her first season, Powell decided to transfer to Tech.

“I loved how coach Gregory was so hungry,” Powell said on what drew her to Tech.

Powell also had the same desires as her new head coach, and the relationship became mutual.

“As a transfer, my main goal is I wanted to come in here and build and make this program the best I could be,” Powell said.

In her first season as a Red Raider, Powell made her presence

known by posting a winning record of 7-6 on the year, according to Tech Athletics. Powell started strongly for Tech and continued playing well throughout her career. In 2016, Powell recorded the second most strikeouts with 33 for the Red Raiders through 88.2 innings.

Powell is so effective because of her pinpoint command with her fastball. Powell then uses her fastball to set up her best pitch, the changeup.

Powell has a solid difference in velocity between her fastball and off-speed pitches, throwing a batter’s timing off.

Powell made various adjustments coming from a consistently

dominant program at Oregon to a new and emerging team at Tech.

Powell seemed to be a great fit for Tech, and she bought into the things Tech stood for.

“I think previously at Oregon there was a lot of, I guess, talent.

It’s not they didn’t work hard, it just came naturally,” Powell said. “One thing I loved about being here at Tech is everyone works extremely hard.”

After posting a solid initial sophomore season, Powell had a major injury going into her junior year. In her junior year, Powell made only 14 appearances for the Red Raiders. Tech was supportive

for Powell throughout her injury and rehabilitation.

“If we need to take reps off in the field and take ground balls, then we can do that as long as we can pitch.

That’s been awesome for me because it helps me get my mind right. We all have a different mindset that we’re all on the same page,” Powell said.

With the support of the coaches, Powell’s recovery went smoothly.

Moving into her senior season, the expectations were high, and Powell looked to get back on the road for the Red Raiders.

Parts of the South Plains received much needed rain throughout the weekend, mostly on Sunday, but it was far from what was needed to get out of drought conditions.

But the best chances for rain are concentrated on Monday, April 30, when there will be a 20 percent chance throughout the day and into the evening hours.

The National Weather Service is predicting a 20 percent chance of rain after 1 p.m. on Monday.

It is also predicted there will be severe storms with large hail and damaging winds. The lows will stay around 60 throughout the day and could reach up to 84 degrees.

Monday will be a lighter day for winds as well, with gusts ranging in the 15-20 mph range. The chance of rain in the evening will continue until around 1 a.m. and the breeziness will continue.

Tuesday the South Plains could see a 90-degree day as the high is predicted to be around

89 during the day and the winds will continue to be breezy at 1520 mph.

This will continue into Wednesday with highs reaching near the 90s but winds are expected to play a factor throughout the day. The rest of the week will also stick to the warm-weather trend.

So far the NWS has documented only 1.07 inches of rains in Lubbock, which is near the average for most of West Texas.

Severe storms on Monday do pose a chance to bring that number up, however that is still not enough to take the area out of the current drought.

Half of the eastern portion of the South Plains is in an extreme drought, whereas Lubbock and the areas to the west in a severe drought, according to the NWS. It was also announced last week Lubbock County was put into a burn ban that will last for an indefinite period of time. @MichaelCantuDT

Support animals helpful resource at Tech

By MATTHEW SETZEKORN Staff Writer

For students at Texas Tech who have a disability, whether it be mental or physical, animals can be a great help. These animals can be classified as either a service animal or an emotional support animal.

Tamara Mancini, senior assistant director of Student Disability Services, said the biggest difference between the two is service animals are trained for a job while emotional support animals are not.

“A service animal is covered under the (American

Disabilities Act) and it provides a person with a disability a task that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to do by themselves,” Mancini said.

“An emotional support animal is not trained where the service animal is, and it doesn’t provide a specific task.”

Ashley Melero, a graduate student and owner of a service dog, said her dog has helped her find her way through Tech’s campus in the many years she has been at the university.

“I’ve been here since 2011 and I’ve had my dog since then. I got her two weeks

before I started here at Tech,” Melero said. “She’s pretty familiar with the campus. Her job is to make sure I don’t run into things, trip over things, she’s basically my eyes.”

There are not many service animals on Tech’s campus, Mancini said. She reports an estimate of around 15 service animals, while the amount of emotional support animals on campus is around 45 or 50.

One student who has an emotional support animal on campus is Ashley BennettBryan, a junior animal science major from Amarillo.

She said she has an emotional support animal to help her keep moving forward when she is at a low point.

“It’s something to care for and look after and be able to love on after a really long, stressful day,” BennettBryan said. “People that are depressed feel a lot more obligated to keep moving forward if they have something that needs them. I wanted something that needs me.”

However, getting an emotional support animal is only one part of a bigger task for the students who wish to have their emotional support

animal with them on campus.

For pets to stay with students in one of the residence halls, the student must go through a process to grant their animals permission to stay with them on campus.

D’aun Green, senior associate managing director of University Student Housing, said the process should not take too long, but the steps are necessary. The biggest hurdle facing students is when they must register their pets through Student Disability Services.

“The first things that folks have to do in order

to have either a service dog or emotional support animal, is they have to be registered with Student Disability Services for it to be an approved pet,” Green said. “That has to happen because then Student Disability Services lets us know is that it’s an appropriate accommodation.”

Local early voting to close Tuesday, Election Day on Saturday

By MICHAEL A. CANTU News Editor

Early voting for local city and school elections will close on Tuesday, May 1 at 8 p.m.

The only early voting location on the Texas Tech campus is at the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center, according to Vote Lubbock. That location, like most other Lubbock locations, will be open from 8

a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday and Tuesday.

Once the polls close they will open again on election day, Saturday, May 5 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. On election day, the only polling location on Tech will be at the Library.

This election will decide Lubbock’s next mayor, three city council positions, the school board and the fate of the Lubbock Municipal Auditorium and Coliseum.

Incumbent, Dan Pope, Lubbock’s mayor, will go against Tech student Johnathan Cothran and write-in candidate Stephen Sanders.

Incumbent Jeff Griffith is the only person running for the city council District 3 position and Randy Christian is the only person running for the District 5 position.

There is a three-way race for the city council District 1 position. That race will be

between the incumbent Juan Chadis, Nicholas Muniz and Patrick Kelly.

Citizens will also vote to make a final decision on what the city will do with the auditorium and coliseum. It was in January the Lubbock City Council voted to allow citizens to decide on abandoning the building during the May 5 election, what is now called Proposition A, — an action that is required due

to a city charter.

If the citizens decide to abandon the building the land it is built on will go back to Texas Tech. Then the tech system will cover costs associated with demolishing the building, according to a letter from Robert Duncan, system chancellor, sent to faculty, staff and students on Friday, April 27.

It was also announced in

Duncan’s letter that the system will be flexible in hosting events until a final decision is made.

The land the building occupies is a key part to the university’s master plan and will be utilized for future growth, Duncan wrote.

The entire letter Duncan sent out can be found on The Daily Toreador’s website at www.dailytoreador.com. @MichaelCantuDT

Texas church gunman vowed not to hurt anyone 5 years

Buses carrying Central American migrants roll to US border

AUSTIN (AP) — The gunman in a mass shooting at a Texas church last year told a military judge in 2012 he “would never allow myself to hurt someone” again while admitting to abusing his stepson and a long struggle with anger, according to Air Force records obtained by The Associated Press.

he was shot and chased by two men who heard the gunfire at the church.

“I don’t think adults change. I don’t think people change,” Kelley said during his court-martial at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, according to a transcript. He was convicted of assaulting family members and ultimately given a bad conduct discharge.

The AP on Thursday obtained hundreds of pages surrounding Kelley’s court-martial through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Sprint, T-Mobile agree to combine in deal NEW YORK (AP) — TMobile and Sprint reached a $26.5 billion agreement Sunday to combine in a deal that would reshape the U.S. wireless landscape by reducing it to three major

cellphone providers.

The big unknown is whether the deal will win approval from the Trump administration’s antitrust regulators. The two companies have been considering a

combination for years, but a 2014 attempt fell apart amid resistance from the Obama administration.

Consumers worry a less crowded telecom field could result in higher prices, while workers unions are concerned about potential job losses.

In a conference call with Wall Street analysts, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure acknowledged that getting regulatory approval is “the elephant in the room,” and one of the first things the companies did after sending out the deal’s news release was to call Ajit Pai, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

The companies stressed that they plan to have more employees following the combination, particularly in rural areas, than they do as stand-alone companies.

They also emphasized that the deal would help accelerate their development of faster 5G wireless networks and ensure that the U.S. States doesn’t cede leadership on the technology to China.

And they said the combination would allow them to better compete not only with AT&T and Verizon but also with Comcast and others as the wireless, broadband and video industries converge.

Entertainment media glorifies broken relationships

I

n a desperate attempt to sweep up the messy lives of the characters in the book I was reading, I spent most of my Saturday morning rushing to finish the final hundred pages of Kate Eberlen’s “Miss You.” Perhaps I got too emotionally invested in the main characters, Tess and Gus — who don’t meet until the end of the novel — because, by page 400, I realized how I had internalized all of their poor decisions and tragic turning points. I think my stress eating of chocolate chips as I sped through each page should have been an indicator, but I was too immersed in Tess and Gus’s drama to notice.

As I read, I was made utterly despondent by the unrelenting stream of failed relationships both characters suffered through before finally marrying each other at the very end. Sorry… Spoiler alert. Maybe I should have led with that?

Avery Aiken is a senior communication studies major from The Woodlands.

Regardless, these characters cheated and were cheated on; they were bored by simple relationships and broken by the passionate ones; they watched their parents fail to love each other successfully and then failed when it was their turn; they felt hopeless when they tried to date while in their thirties; and then they were jaded when they finally met each other.

T h a n k f u l l y, E b e r l e n spared our hearts the misery of watching another one of their relationships fail and she gave them the happily ever after we all pray for. But, my goodness. I was their misery’s company up until those final, resolutionbringing pages.

And so now I’m left fear-

ful that this is a reality I haven’t prepared for. Are all relationships doomed, at least in some way?

Marry the passionate man and he’ll become disinterested. Marry the sweet, simple man and you’ll be the disinterested one. Marry the one working long hours and he will probably cheat.

Marry whoever you can find once you’re thirty because, gosh, you don’t want to be an old maid. Marry someone, anyone because y’all will be unhappy regardless; Why put so much thought into it when it will suck in the end no matter what?

See? I definitely internalized Tess and Gus’ experiences way too much. But this isn’t the only place I have noticed this same hopeless message being communicated.

Nowadays, it’s pretty common for love songs to be about toxic, heartbreaking, unhealthy relationships — think of Lorde, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Halsey, Ca-

mila Cabello, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato or any of those pals from 1D. On top of that, it’s common for movies to feature two characters who do nothing but rip each other to pieces but their chemistry keeps bringing them together, like flies to a light. A lot of the examples that come to my mind are based on books — The Great Gatsby, Anna Karenina, and even Twilight.

Now what about TV show relationships? I am a big fan of shows like New Girl and Friends, but if I focus in on the emotional sagas of Nick and Jess, Schmidt and CeCe, Ross and Rachel and even that whole Richard, Chandler, Monica situation, I can’t help but believe that it’s not right unless it’s hard.

However, there’s this part of me that can’t accept that as truth. I refuse to believe that the right relationship is the one that hurts.

In fact, from the real-life examples I see, the relation-

ships that actually last tend to be the ones that glow with love and patience. My friends are getting engaged to men that treat them well and care for them kindly. My cousins are marrying people who make them smile and laugh. My coworkers are telling me stories of their significant others’ thoughtfulness or compassion.

So, I’m starting to think, despite the fact that the high drama, high-caliber heartbreak of entertainment media definitely sells more seats at a concert, movie tickets and Netflix subscriptions, that is not actually love at all.

These examples we see of shame-filled stories and broken hope is not the standard to strive for. We do not need to imitate the struggle for “true love” that we see in pop-culture.

Instead, we need to look closer at those around us. We need to ask our grandparents how they stayed mar-

ried for so long. We need to talk to our engaged friends about dating and, in turn, make sure they’re talking to someone who’s married about the next step.

We need to take notes from those who are actually getting A’s in class, not from those who spend a two-hour feature presentation breaking someone else’s heart.

I suppose my whole point seems rather obvious, but I fear it might not be something anyone consciously recognizes while listening to Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” or while watching Rachel write out her 18-page letter.

These over-dramatizations only serve to entertain.

And that’s fine, as long as we don’t forget that real life should almost always look different than entertainment. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s quite a good thing. @AveryAikenDT

we view women in society. If women have truly achieved equality to men, why is it so bad to be called a woman?

As a woman, it’s difficult to explore these questions. It’s trying, and a brutal reminder of the degrading comments like those above that girls have been hearing since we were playing on the playground at recess.

Comments are thrown around carelessly by the boys, teasing each other for being too “girly” when they throw a bad pass or don’t kick the kickball far enough. I began to question what they saw wrong with being a girl.

It wasn’t until after years of internalized hatred that I realized what was “wrong” with being a

The only reasonable explanation for it is that there is a societal abhorrence of women. This is seen in so many ways — when women are sexually assaulted, they are interrogated and frowned upon for “putting themselves in those situations” or asked what they were wearing that would provoke their assault.

Men aren’t taught not to abstain from sexually assaulting women, rather women are taught to protect and defend themselves. If they wear too

der fluid, or gender nonconforming individuals.

Rather, for the purposes of this column, I will focus primarily on relationship between the two sexes (i.e. male and female) most generally regarded by society.

To reiterate, there are countless examples that depict societies’ view of women. But this view doesn’t only harm women.

Societal norms assigned to the sexes are detrimental to men as well.

Typically, boys are not encouraged to be as creative or expressive, and often teased if they are.

This fosters a hostile environment toward “feminine” activities and attributes.

Boys are expected to play sports, be tough, not to cry. They are taught harmful coping mecha-

nisms, when we have so clearly been told by professionals that expressing emotion is good.

Men are not expected to have a good relationship with emotion and this promotes the development of mental illnesses.

If men are allowed and encouraged to have a better relationship with themselves and whatever “feminine” traits they might have, they would be able to experience a more full, well-rounded life.

This can only occur if we, as a society, destigmatize femininity.

If we stop seeing being or resembling women as undesirable, men will find a better place for themselves as well. @DailyToreador

have not paid Kanye West much attention since his song “Stronger” came out over a decade ago. However, he caught my attention again this week with a number of tweets about his support for President Donald Trump.

His tweets began with support for Candice Owens an African American woman political speaker then ranged from his support for the president, to photos in Trump’s “Make

Jason Jones is junior political science major from Alvin.

America Great Again” hats and a critique of former President Obama.

After the series of tweets West was forced to clarify that he was not in full support of President Trump, which is logical.

But he did this amongst

critics that attacked him immediately and mercilessly for his opinions.

Still Kanye has yet to back down defending his opinions as his own independent thinking and has even received support from fellow musician Chance the Rapper. Chance tweeted out “Black people don’t have to be Democrats.”

I must say bravo to them both. First, one’s political beliefs are not for someone else to change

and should be respected even if they are not mutual. Kanye is absolutely right that we are all endowed with the freedom of thought and by that he is entitled to think anyway he pleases.

Second, the African American electorate has broken hard to the left since the 1964 presidential election that brought us the Johnson administration. Since then neither political party has remained

the same and his critique of President Obama is absolutely accurate.

The Democratic Party brought the United States the first African American president, but has yet to change the issues that plague heavily African American areas like Chicago.

Kanye is absolutely right, think freely and from an opinion, regardless of who disagrees with you. @DailyToreador

Israeli officials says 3 Palestinian infiltrators from Gaza killed JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli troops fatally shot two Palestinians who infiltrated the country from Gaza and attacked soldiers with explosives Sunday night, and in a separate incident killed another Palestinian who tried to breach the border, the military said.

Another Palestinian

was detained in the latter incident, and two more were caught trying to cross the border in a third case, the military said.

The Gaza border has been tense in recent weeks, with the Islamic militant group Hamas that rules Gaza urging mass Palestinian protests there every

Friday as part of a weekslong campaign against a decade-old blockade of the territory. The protests have turned violent and 39 Palestinians have been killed during the unrest, which began March 30.

Israel says that it is defending its sovereign border, including nearby

communities, and that its troops target only instigators. Israel accuses Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, of trying to carry out attacks under the guise of the mass protests.

The military said that “two terrorists who infiltrated into Israel hurled explosive devices” at sol-

diers Sunday night. The soldiers returned fire, killing them.

About a half hour earlier, two Palestinians damaged the security fence and tried to cross into Israel.

Troops opened fire, killing one, the military said. The other was detained for questioning, it said.

Several Red Raiders land on NFL teams following NFL Draft

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

Texas Tech had seven football players either drafted or signed into the NFL following the 2018 NFL Draft, including wide receivers Keke Coutee and Dylan Cantrell, who were taken in the draft by the Houston Texans and the Los Angeles Chargers respectively.

Coutee was the highest pick for the Red Raiders in this year’s NFL Draft as he was selected by the Texans in the fourth round as the 103rd overall pick. In the sixth round, Cantrell was selected as the 191st overall pick by the Chargers.

Five Red Raiders were also signed as undrafted free agents. Quarterback Nic Shimonek was signed by the Chargers, joining Cantrell on the team, and wide receiver Cameron Batson was signed by the Tennessee Titans. Running back Justin Stockton signed with the Seattle Seahawks, defensive lineman Mychealon Thomas

signed with the New York Jets and wide receiver Derrick Willies signed with the Cleveland Browns.

Outside of the NFL, defensive lineman Zach Barnes signed with the Edmonton Eskimos in the Canadian Football League, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

This was the first time that two receivers from Tech were drafted in the same year since 1994, according to the news release.

Former Red Raiders Lloyd Hill and Derrell Mitchell were drafted to the Chicago Bears and New England Patriots that year.

It was also the first time since 2004 that the Texans drafted a Tech player as quarterback B.J. Symons was the last.

Coutee joins with former Red Raider Wes Welker, who is on the Texans coaching staff as the offensive and special teams assistant. Cantrell also joins with a former Red Raider in Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn, a former

running back for Tech, according to the release.

Coutee will also face his former teammate, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for the first preseason game for both teams at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 9th, at Arrowhead Stadium located in Kansas City, MS. Coutee finished the 2017 season with 93 receptions for 1,429 yards and 10 touchdowns, which was a second all-time record in Tech single-season history.

Cantrell had one of the best performances in the NFL Combine as he led the wide receiver in the SPARQ metric, according to the release. Cantrell also had 71 receptions for 816 yards and seven touchdowns in the 2017 season.

For Shimonek, he threw for 3,963 passing yards and 33 touchdowns with 10 interceptions and Batson recorded 59 receptions for 487 receiving yards and five touchdowns. Stockton ended the year with 797 rushing yards and four

touchdowns, and Thomas had 41 tackles, one sack, one interception, two fumble recoveries and three tackles for a loss.

Joining with former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield, Willies joins the Browns after recording 18 receptions for 304 yards and three touchdowns in the 2017 season.

Barnes ended out his collegiate career with nine total tackles, 1.5 sacks, one forced fumble and three quarterback hurries.

With several former Red Raiders entering the NFL Tech fans should have plenty to watch out for this upcoming season. @TheJackDensmore FILE PHOTOS/The Daily Toreador

Cowboys wrapped up offseason with great draft

I

t wasn’t the flashiest offseason they’ve had in years, muddled with controversy regarding two franchise-greats, and it wasn’t their most active offseason, but the Cowboys quietly put together a solid offseason with several strong acquisitions that should improve the team going forward.

After cutting Dez Bryant in a move that left several fans stunned, the already painful offseason was worsened with the surprise retirement of All-Pro Jason Witten, one of the greatest Cowboys in recent history.

Without two of the team’s biggest stars, the Cowboys were tasked with filling the holes left by two franchise greats, and in my opinion the

Austin Watts is a junior EMC major from Sweetwater.

Cowboys succeeded.

At the start of the offseason, the list of needs was widely accepted for the Cowboys. The Cowboys needed a few WRs, LG, DL help, LB help, a few safeties and possibly a TE. Following free agency and the draft, the Cowboys seemed to have addressed most of their needs.

The Cowboys drafted Leighton Vander Esch in the first round, a six-footfive-inch linebacker that was a force at Boise State.

With the struggles of Sean

Lee and Jaylon Smith to stay on the field, the addition of a versatile LB in Vander Esch should provide stability and depth for the Cowboys at linebacker.

To address their receiver concerns, the Cowboys signed WR Allen Hurns, and drafted receivers Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson.

Wilson projects as little more than depth, but Gallup and Hurns should immediately be able to contribute to the Cowboys, giving quarterback Dak Prescott better targets as he continues to develop.

A favorite pick of mine was the selection of Connor Williams at 50th overall.

While guard wasn’t the Cowboys highest need, adding a first-round talent

in Williams to an already strong line shows a commitment to the run, and with Ezekiel Elliott in the backfield, this sounds like a plan for success.

Speaking of running back, the Cowboys actually completely rehauled the running back position, adding two unique running backs with different skill-sets in 7th round pick Bo Scarbrough and former Rams WR Tavon Austin. Scarbrough projects as a bruiser in the backfield, while Austin will likely handle return duties and 3DRB situations.

To bolster their defensive line, the Cowboys drafted DE Dorance Armstrong and traded for former second rounder Jihad Ward. Both

should project as rotational depth, but will likely provide the Cowboys some security regarding their defensive line. To acquire Ward, the Cowboys traded away WR Ryan Switzer, which is fine with me, as the wideout provided little offensively and worked better with former Special Teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia, who is now the Raiders ST coordinator.

Finally, the Cowboys drafted TE Dalton Schultz, who join TE’s Geoff Swaim, Blake Jarwin and Rico Gathers as the Cowboys potential replacements for Witten. While the future HOFers absence will be felt in the years to come, the Cowboys have been preparing for his departure for a

few seasons now, keeping developmental TEs on the roster while they got up to speed on the roles and requirements of the position.

Overall, none of the Cowboys move were flashy and immediate A+ moves, but all of their moves seemed solid and likely to better the team as a whole.

For a 9-7 squad that missed the playoffs, adding some depth and starters without sacrificing too much cap or draft capital is always a good move in my book.

With the reigning champs in the division, I could see this team getting 10 or 11 wins next year, and making a playoff push. @AustinWattsDT

LeBron carries Cavaliers past Pacers Harden’s 41 points lead Rockets over Jazz CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James scored 45 points and got some needed help in Game 7 to stay unbeaten in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 105-101 win over the Indiana Pacers, who pushed the game’s best player to the limit.

James improved to 13-0 in the first round and kept Cleveland’s strange season alive — for the time being.

It took everything James and the Cavs had to hold off the Pacers, who were swept

by Cleveland a year ago and

came in confident after a 34-point win in Game 6.

The Cavs will open the conference semifinals on Tuesday at top-seeded Toronto.

James played 43 minutes, leaving late in the third quarter and heading straight to the locker room to be treated for cramps.

The 33-year-old was going to leave it all on the floor in what some Cleveland fans feared could have been his last game with the franchise.

Tr i s t a n T h o m p s o n made a rare start for the Cavs — Cleveland

coach Tyronn Lue used his 34th different starting lineup this season — and added 15 points and 10 rebounds. Kevin Love made four 3-pointers, and George Hill returned after missing three games with back spasms to score 11 in 19 second-half minutes.

Victor Oladipo scored 30 and Darren Collison had 23 for the Pacers, who were still within four points in the final minute before a cutting James scored on a bullet pass from Kyle Korver with 30 seconds left.

HOUSTON (AP) — James Harden scored 41 points and the Houston Rockets raced out to a huge lead and sailed to a 110-96 win over the Utah Jazz in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals on Sunday.

Houston was up by 25 at halftime behind 34 points combined from Harden and Chris Paul. The Jazz, who didn’t wrap up their firstround series with Oklahoma City until late Friday night, looked sluggish and struggled to keep pace with the energy of the top-seed-

ed Rockets, who haven’t played since eliminating Minnesota on Wednesday.

It was Houston’s fourth straight win by 10 or more points this postseason, and the Rockets have won their five games against the Jazz by an average of 16.8 points.

Harden, who also had seven assists and eight rebounds, picked up where he left off in the regular season against the Jazz when he averaged 34.3 points, led by a 56-point performance in a 137-110 win in November that set a career-high he

has since bested.

The Jazz got 21 points each from rookie Donovan Mitchell and Jae Crowder while playing without starting point guard Ricky Rubio, who sat with a strained left hamstring. It was a significant blow after he averaged 14 points, 7.3 rebounds and seven assists in the first round.

The Rockets had 10 3-pointers by halftime, led by three apiece from Harden and P.J. Tucker. They finished with 17, including seven from Harden.

Curry aims to wrap up senior season with NCAA Tournament appearance

By GABRIELLE TAITE Staff Writer

Texas Tech senior Connor Curry is preparing to compete in the NCAA tournament and the final matches of his collegiate tennis career.

Cu r r y c am e t o Te ch back in 2014 and finished with an 11-17 mark in the singles, 8-10 in dual matches, and a 1-4 record in Big 12 competition, according to Tech Athletics.

He spent the majority of the year in the No. 6 spot for singles during his freshman year.

Curry continued his success in his sophomore year, as he did not lose more

than one singles match at any fall tournament, according to Tech Athletics.

In his junior year, Curry won 12 out of 14 matches between the No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 singles positions. He also claimed a six-match winning streak playing at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles lines.

Curry said he hopes to leave his mark on the tennis program with the changes he and teammate Alex Sendegeya have made on the team.

“I think a lot of things have changed this year with the team chemistry,” Curry said. “We’ve been working with the new guy, team bonding and

just implementing new stuff into the program. I think we (Curry and Alex Sendegeya) set the tone for years to come.”

Tech head coach Brett Masi said he is proud of how far Curry has come since his freshman season.

“I remember recruiting Connor ’s brother,” Masi said. “They’re just great tennis players with good character. They really embrace the fact that they love Texas Tech. It means a lot to them playing for this team, and you can’t ask for anymore than that.”

Curry will also leave Tech with several awards and titles including 2017 ITA Doubles Final Rank-

Cubs sweep Brewers with 2-0 win 14 hits in the sweep by the Cubs. Chicago’s starting pitchers — Hendricks, Darvish, Quintana and Chatwood — allowed an unearned run and 11 hits in 27 innings in the series.

“It’s pretty cool to be part of it,” Chatwood said. “You don’t want to be the guy left behind, so I think everybody’s kind of pushing each other and I think that’s what good rotations do.”

The two runs for Milwaukee marked the fewest allowed by Chicago in a fourgame set since it also allowed two against Pittsburgh from June 2-4, 1919. The Cubs won four in a row with three or less runs in each game for the first time since at least 1908, according to the team.

“They pitched a little bit better than us, they hit a little better than us, they played better defense,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “That led to us getting swept.”

Addison Russell had two hits, a sacrifice fly and scored a run as the Cubs improved to 7-1 against the Brewers this year and moved a season-high five games above .500.

Senior Connor Curry jumps up to return the ball against Tulsa during a doubles match on Wednesday, Apr. 11, 2018. The match was hosted at the McLeod Tennis Center and the Red Raiders won the doubles point en route to a 5-2 victory.

JUMPING FOR SUCCESS

ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO (AP) — For four straight days, Tyler Chatwood, Jose Quintana, Yu Darvish and Kyle Hendricks put on a pitching clinic.

A very stingy show.

Chatwood pitched seven sparkling innings and helped himself with an RBI single, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday and a sweep of the four-game series between NL Central rivals.

“There’s a strikeout in him. There’s a ground ball in him. Those are two great qualities for a pitcher,” manager Joe Maddon said. “He’s going to keep getting better.”

Chatwood (2-3) allowed two hits, struck out four and walked three in his second straight win. Carl Edwards Jr. worked the eighth and Brandon Morrow got three outs for his seventh save in seven chances, finishing Chicago’s second straight shutout and its fifth against Milwaukee — a franchise record for a calendar month.

The Brewers had won eight in a row before they were held to two runs and

ing of No. 18 and an appearance on the 2017 Big 12 All-Tournament Team for singles play, according to Tech Athletics.

Curry said what drew him to Tech was the sense of community. He said he loves how nice everyone is, especially Masi.

Curry said he will miss his fellow teammates and fellow senior Alex Sendegeya. If Tech makes the NCAA Tournament, any loss during the tournament will mark the final match of Sendegaya and Curry’s college careers.

“It’s been a good ride,” Curry said. “Hopefully we can end it on a high note.”

Cole strikes out 12, Astros capitalize on errors to beat A’s HOUSTON (AP) — Astros manager A.J. Hinch couldn’t find just one word to describe the month that Gerrit Cole just put together.

Cole worked into the seventh inning and struck out 12, George Springer and Jose Altuve each drove in two runs and the Houston Astros beat the Oakland Athletics 8-4 on Sunday.

With his performance Cole submitted a recordsetting April, breaking Mike Scott’s 31-year-old franchise mark for strikeouts in the month. Cole struck out 61 batters.

“Whatever word you want

to say probably fits,” Hinch said. “Whether it’s elite or dominant or exceptional or spectacular. It sounds historic with the strikeouts he had in our uniform.”

After Cole allowed the tying run on his 99th and final pitch, the Astros took advantage of two errors in the bottom of the seventh among Oakland’s four on the afternoon - to pull away.

“Defensively, we gave it up,” Oakland’s Jonathan Lucroy said. “We gave them too many bases, too many free bags. You give guys free bags whether from an error or walking people or some-

thing like that, you’re going to get hurt, especially against a team like that.”

Cole gave up three runs on six hits and walked none in 6 2/3 innings. The righthander’s dozen strikeouts were his second-most this season, and he has struck out 10 or more batters in four of his six starts.

He had six double-digit strikeout performances in his five previous seasons, all with Pittsburgh. Cole broke Scott’s mark of 49 set in 1987.

“I made a few subtle tweaks coming over here, it’s playing out,” Cole said

about his start in Houston.

“I think the catchers and the analytics guys deserve a lot of credit for the scouting reports and the preparation.

I just try to go out and execute the gameplan.”

Will Harris (1-1) recorded the final out in the seventh.

In the bottom half, Alex Bregman walked, stole second and reached third on a throwing error by Lucroy. Brian McCann followed with a popup to shallow right field that bounced off shortstop Marcus Semien’s glove, allowing Bregman to score the go-ahead run.

Kingham flirts with perfectoin MLB debut, Pirates top Cards PITTSBURGH (AP) — Nick Kingham accomplished something Sunday that only one major league pitcher had achieved in the past century.

In his big league debut, Kingham carried a perfect game into the seventh inning to lead the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. He joined Johnny Cueto in 2008 as the only pitchers in the last 100 years with one hit allowed, at least nine strikeouts and no walks in his debut.

“That’s how you plan it up, not to let anybody on,” Kingham said. “It’s incredible how it

happened. Just kind of starting from the get-go, it went well. ...

It’s corny, but it took everybody.

I’m really fortunate and really happy about it.”

The 26-year-old rookie right-hander retired 20 straight batters before Paul DeJong singled down the left-field line with two out in the seventh.

The home crowd responded with an ovation before Kingham retired Marcell Ozuna. The fans stood and cheered while Kingham walked off the field and waved. He finished with nine strikeouts on 98

pitches, 72 for strikes.

More than the numbers, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was pleased with Kingham’s poise.

“It was his next start.

Watching him, it was just his next start,” Hurdle said. “It had to be more than that. He compartmentalized very well.”

Elias Diaz went 3 for 4 with three singles and two RBIs as the Pirates won their fifth straight game and completed a three-game sweep of the Cardinals hours after Kingham was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis for a spot start.

Right-hander Luke Weav-

er (2-2) took the loss after allowing four runs on six hits with six strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings. He was impressed with Kingham’s performance but said he didn’t feel any added pressure.

“He’s obviously having a good game, so you have to stay with him and put up the zeros just like you normally would,” Weaver said. “You just try to put that to the side and let him do what he’s doing, and focus on the task at hand. . It was just a well-pitched ballgame from him.”

Lady Raiders finish second in Big 12 Championships

By CONNELLY BOCK Staff Writer

The No. 14 Texas Tech women’s tennis team finished second in the Big 12 Tournament after losing to No. 6 Texas 4-1 in the championship match at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 29.

The Lady Raiders went 2-1 in the tournament with both wins coming against nationally ranked opponents.

Tech faced off against the No. 42 Kansas State Wildcats at 3 p.m. on Friday, April 27, in its first match of the tournament.

The Wildcats entered the tournament 14-9 on the season and 4-5 in conference play, including a 4-0 loss to Tech on Sunday, March 25. Kansas State finished the regular season on a five-match losing streak.

The Lady Raiders got off to a quick start, securing the doubles point and the early 1-0 lead. During the regular season, Tech was 16-1 when securing the doubles point.

No. 21 seniors Sabrina Federici and Sarah Dvorak defeated freshman Margot Decker and senior Carolina Costamagna 6-3 on court one. Junior Felicity Maltby and Gabriela Talaba defeated freshmen Maria Linares and Anna Turco 6-4 on court two to sweep the doubles point.

The victory extended Maltby and Talaba’s winning streak to 13 matches.

Heading into the tournament, the duo had not lost since facing No. 4 Georgia in the ITA National Indoor Championships on Sunday, Feb. 11.

off to a slow start in singles play, with four players dropping their first set, but quickly recovered as the match went on.

No. 97 Federici defeated Turco in straight sets 6-2, 6-3, to extend the Lady Raiders lead to 2-0. No. 21 Talaba brought Tech within a point of the victory after defeating Decker in two sets 7-5, 6-3.

After Linares defeated junior Alex Valenstein 6-4, 6-3, No. 56 Maltby clinched the 4-1 victory for the Lady Raiders by defeating Costamagna in three sets.

Maltby is 4-0 since moving to the three spot.

Te c h h e a d c o a c h To d d Petty said he believes she is one of the best number three’s in the country. “ S h e ’s b e e n p l a y i n g down at three, that’s what (Maltby) should do,” Petty said, according to Tech Athletics. “In my opinion, if she’s going to play three, she’s the best three in the country. There at the end she kind of proved it.”

The victory advanced the Lady Raiders to the semifinals, where they squared off against the No. 7 Oklahoma State C o wg i rl s o n S at ur day, April 28, who Petty believed had a chip on their shoulder after suffering a 4-1 defeat against Tech on Sunday, April 15.

“Oklahoma State is just an unbelievable team.

It’s going to be another tight one, and they’re going to be hungry to come and get us after the last one,” Petty said before the match, according to Tech Athletics. “We want to try and get to that final, so it’s going to be another heated

match, but this is the kind of match you need going into the NCAA’s too kind of fine tune.”

The Lady Raiders clinched a competitive doubles point after Maltby and Talaba defeated juniors Marina Guinart and Katarina Stresnakova 7-6 (119) with the doubles point hanging in the balance.

After straight set victories by senior Katelyn Jackson and No. 56 Maltby extended the Lady Raiders lead to 3-0, No. 34 senior Megan McCray swept Valenstein on court two to keep the Cowgirls alive.

No. 125 Dvorak closed the door on the Cowgirls, defeating junior Sofia Blanco in two sets 6-3, 6-2, advancing the Lady Raiders to the finals.

“I was really proud of the kids. It was kind of one of those wins you need,” Petty said after the match, according to Tech Athletics. “The way it all unfolded, to get Dvorak that clinch is something she really needed.”

The victory captured the Lady Raiders a spot in the Big 12 Championships final for the fourth consecutive season, where they faced the No. 6 Texas L o n g h o r n s o n S u n d a y, April 29.

The Longhorns entered the match fresh off a 9-0 conference record and a Big 12 title. The Longhorns defeated the Lady Raiders 4-2 on Sunday, April 8. “ It ’s s om et hi ng s pe cial, it’s something they’ve wanted to do,” Petty said before the match, accordi n g t o Te c h A t h l e t i c s .

“We’re starting to play some of our best tennis,

and Texas is going to be extremely tough. We just want a crack at them and let it all hang out and see where we go from there.”

The Longhorns started the match by securing the doubles point, the first time in the Big 12 tournament the Lady Raiders failed to win the point.

Freshman Marta Perez-Mur and senior Dani Wagland defeated Malb t y a n d Ta l a b a 6 - 2 t o clinch the double point for the Longhorns. The loss snapped Maltby and Talaba’s winning streak at 14 matches.

No. 125 Dvorak defeated Perez-Mur in straight sets 6-4, 6-1, on court five to tie the match at 1-1.

No. 74 sophomore Petra Granic defeated No. 56 Maltby in straight sets 7-5, 6-2, to reclaim the lead for the Longhorns.

No. 29 sophomore Anna Turati defeated Valenstein in two sets on court two

sets 6-2, 6-4. Valenstein went 0-3 in singles play during the tournament.

No. 1 sophomore Bianca Turati defeated No. 21 Talaba in straight sets on court one to secure the victory and the Big 12 Championship for the

Through 48.2 innings pitched, Powell has recorded 21 strikeouts with the second-best ERA on the team of 4.03, according to Tech Athletics. Powell has started in 14 games and appeared in 20 on the

year. Powell is predominately used as a starter in the circle, but she is also versatile enough to be called upon in relief efforts as well.

Powell, like the whole team, largely relies upon the underclassmen on the squad. Powell greatly values the younger players’ contribution to the team.

“This team would not be the same without ev-

ery single one of them,” Powell said.

Without the freshmen, Powell would lose a large portion of her defense and offense. Additionally, Powell also gets assistance from freshman Erin Edmoundson in the circle.

Powell has helped show Edmoundson composure and offered many valuable lessons by serving as an example and leader on

the team.

Powell also gives credit to the support her fellow upperclassman, junior Jessica Hartwell, brings to the table.

“You always want Jess up to bat, you always trust her in those big situations. Jess has proved herself time over time. She’s worked really hard and it’s shown,” Powell said.
