Raising the Bar

UMC named to list of best places to work University Medical Center was named an outstanding place to work

by Modern Healthcare.

According to Modern Healthcare’s website, UMC was ranked first for providers and insurers and second for providers, insurers and medical suppliers.

The award was given as a result of data from the Best Companies Group, which also supplies information for Texas Monthly’s Best Companies to Work for in Texas.

While UMC has never appeared on Modern Healthcare’s list, according to the website, it was ranked third on Texas Monthly’s list for six out of the past seven years.

UMC received the award for the amount of training and education offered per employee, according to the website, paid time off for volunteer work, the greeter program and quarterly lunches and dinners.

“To be nationally ranked in anything is humbling, but I’m extremely proud because this reflects squarely on our amazing employees,” David Allison, president and CEO of UMC Health System, said, according to a UMC news release, “because this a great place to work, our staff is dedicated, turnover is low and that means better quality and a safer environment for our patients.” ➤➤news@dailytoreador.com

Dean of Texas Tech libraries appointed Bella Gerlich was officially named the dean of Texas Tech libraries and will come to Lubbock from University of Alaska Fairbanks where she serves as the dean of libraries.

According to an email sent to Tech students, Gerlich has served at Dominican University, Georgia College, Georgia State University and Carnegie Mellon University.

“I want to express my thanks to the search committee and committee chair Dean David Perlmutter for their hard work and diligence in bringing together a quality pool of candidates,” Lawrence Schovanec, Tech provost, said, according to the email. “Earnstein Dukes will continue to serve as interim dean until Dr. Gerlich’s arrival and her excellent leadership in this role is appreciated.”

According to the email, Schovanec said he is confident Gerlich will build on Tech’s strengths and continue advancing Tech administration’s goal to become a national research university.

Campus hosts first Olympic weightlifting competition

By ANTHONY ESTOLANO Staff Writer

Chalk-stained competitors formed a line at the indoor soccer court inside the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center as it was transformed to host Texas Tech’s first Olympic weightlifting competition Saturday morning.

The Red Raider Open competition, according to its website, was hosted by CrossFit Tech as a nonsanctioned Olympic weightlifting meet so competitors could gain experience in a less formal setting.

Females competed from 10 a.m. until noon, according to the website, and males competed from noon to 2 p.m.

“I have never actually competed in a weightlifting competition,” Rebecca Antcliff, a freshman engineering major from Lubbock, said. “I have done CrossFit before, but not this (Olympic weightlifting).

So it was fun competing in something like this for my first time.”

It takes hard work and dedication in order to prepare for a weightlifting competition, she said.

Competing in front of the crowd and judges was the most intimidating thing, she said.

“I did not do as well as I wished I would have,” she said. “I did not compete like I usually do when I practice, but it is OK since it was my first competition.”

According to the competition’s website, both male and female competitors had three attempts to get a maximum lift in the snatch and clean and jerk.

At the end of the event, the top three placements were announced for both males and females.

Angie Nhan came in first place for the females, followed by Kasey Rivas in second and Collie Cox in third.

For the males, Joseph Guesnier came in first place, followed by Ty Dooley in second and Cody Settle in third.

“There is a lot that goes behind to preparing for a competition like this,” Guesnier, a Tech alumnus, said.

“It takes a lot of heavy lifting and technique work.”

He said he has competed in similar events for about three years.

Guesnier was introduced to Olympic weightlifting through CrossFit, he said.

RaiderThon hosts 5K Tech students respond for children at UMC to smoking ordinance

By NICOLAS LOPEZ Staff Writer

Texas Tech students are divided in their opinions about a smoking ordinance that was supposed to be voted on Thursday by the Lubbock City Council.

By a vote of four to three, the Lubbock City Council decided to postpone the first reading of the proposed smoking ban Thursday.

Lubbock mayor, Glen Robertson, said “KCBD made it very painfully aware today, to the rest of this council, that it looked like

Texas Tech Operations Division creates social media accounts

By JUSTIN GONZALES Staff Writer

Texas Tech University’s Operations Division has created different social media accounts to allow students to post photos of problems they find on campus.

It is an asset on Tech’s campus that not many students know about, Jordan Vogel, the Student Government Association Campus Infrastructure Committee chair, said.

He said he believes students should know about this because of growing safety concerns on campus, such as lighting. “(We have this) to improve campus safety and to improve the quality of life for students on campus,” he said.

Vogel said he has talked with stu-

dents and realized students are unaware of the services the division provides. If someone has a problem on campus, he or she can conVOGEL tact the division and they can fix it, he said.

Bailey Bryan, an Operations Division representative, said the division established Facebook and Twitter accounts as another way to receive information that can keep students safe.

Operations Division maintains a safe and beautiful place for students, faculty and staff, she said. The divi-

sion is experimenting with social media accounts to keep campus users informed and provide alternative means of communication.

Operations Division also launched 806-742-4OPS to provide one number to contact the division, Bryan said.

“Facebook and Twitter provide another means for students, faculty and staff to keep informed of Operations Division construction projects, safety information, sustainability efforts and other relevant information,” she said.

Vogel said the social media accounts make the division more accessible to students and the process more convenient.

The Campus Infrastructure Committee works with anything aesthetically on campus, anything in buildings on campus and some with parking services,

he said.

“It’s important for the well-being of campus that when students see a problem, that they report it,” he said. “Not just for your well-being, but for all 30,000 students at Tech.”

He said he thinks SGA is underused when it comes to fixing problems on campus because SGA can accomplish changes on campus and have a real impact.

Christina Paraliticci, a senior construction engineering major from Flower Mound, said she thinks it is a good form of documenting efforts of making Tech’s campus better, but is not certain the system will avoid problems that can be common when using technology.

“As handy as technology can be, I expect many requests would be lost in the shuffle due to glitches in the system,”

QUICK INFO

•Connect with Tech Operations Division •Tech Operation Division’s Facebook page •Tweet using the hashtag #TTUOperations •Call 806-742-4OPS Paraliticci said. “I would try it. I haven’t noticed any problems except maybe stopped up toilets.”

An issue is that many people may voice their complaints, Vogel said, but not many actually come forward and tell the committee or division that something needs to be changed.

Audra Coffman, a senior journalism major from Cleburne, said she thinks the division-created social media accounts are interesting and a good way to solve

potential problems on campus.

“Especially since students are so social media-oriented. I think the Operation Division does a wonderful job maintaining the grounds,” she said. “It always looks beautiful and well-kept. If I ever did see a problem, though, I would definitely utilize this option.”

Students can post on Operations Division’s Facebook page or tweet the division at #TTUOperations, Bryan said. ➤➤jgonzales@dailytoreador.com

won’t be good.”

Council Members Jim Gerlt, Victor Hernandez, Latrelle Joy and Floyd Price all voted to postpone any action on the proposed smoking ban.

“I will tell you there are individuals on this dais who are upset because they feel like they are going to lose the way they want this vote to go,” Robertson said. “The next step is going to be a motion to postpone so that they can get their ducks in order. This is poor governance.”

Latrelle Joy, District 6 councilwoman, said the action to postpone the reading was not because some councilmembers had been speaking out of session, but instead because

there was a member that had not had time to look over the resolution as a result of other commitments.

“We felt like, in the interest of everyone, that it would be better served if he had the opportunity to ask his questions and if changes need to be made that they be done,” she said. “So that was the reason for pulling or postponing the item tonight, not because anyone knew how anybody was going to vote.”

The vote to postpone leaves it unclear as to if and when the matter will be brought up again.

The proposed smoking ban would have amended Article 8.17 “Smoking; Tobacco Products” of the city of Lubbock’s Code of Ordi-

nances to prohibit the use of tobacco products and e-cigarettes in public places and places of employment.

According to the amendment, the proposed ordinance would have also banned the use of tobacco products and e-cigarettes in personal vehicles parked in parking garages, banks and fast food drive-thrus, as well as near highway tollbooths.

Maria Tellez, a freshman political science major, said she thinks it is OK to smoke in some locations, but people should be considerate.

“It depends — in your own home and your own car, I think it’s OK to smoke,” she said. “In public places I think it’s fine that they prohibit it.”

“I think it’s probably a good idea,” he said. “I don’t think that other people should be subject to secondhand smoke in public areas if they don’t want to be.”

Raj Paudel, a senior chemical engineering major, said he feels people’s choices should not be limited by government activity.

“People smoke,” he said. “People drink. It’s bad for their health, but people still do it. I don’t think it’s good to ban it. If you stop the smoking in Lubbock, Lubbock County will get less tax money. It

Drugmakers bet on Ebola vaccines, treatments (AP) — Drugmakers are racing to develop vaccines and drugs to address the worst outbreak of Ebola in history. It’s unclear who will pay for their products, but companies are betting that governments and aid groups will foot the bill.

There are no proven drugs or vaccines for Ebola, in large part because the disease is so rare that up until now it’s been hard to attract research funding. And the West African nations hardest hit by the outbreak are unlikely to be able to afford new Ebola vaccines and drugs.

But governments and corporations now are shifting millions of dollars to fight Ebola in the wake of the outbreak that has infected nearly 10,000 people and killed over 4,800. Experts say drugmakers are wagering that international groups and wealthier governments

like the U.S. will buy Ebola vaccines and drugs in mass quantities to stockpile them for future use once they’re deemed safe.

“The political bet is that the U.S. and World Health Organization have been so embarrassed and burned by this event that they will be willing to change the way they do business,” said Professor Lawrence Gostin of the Georgetown University Law School, who studies global health issues.

Drugmakers have benefited from stockpiling before. During the bird flu pandemic of 2009, Western governments spent billions to stock up on drugs and vaccines that mostly went unused. Shelflife varies by product, but can be as little as a year.

Still, it’s unclear who will pay for the Ebola vaccines that are in development, even after a WHO

meeting on Thursday that included government officials, drugmakers and philanthropic groups.

“Something concrete needs to be developed soon,” said Dr. Manica Balasegaram of Doctors Without Borders, who attended the meeting. “This needs to done in tandem for us to prepare for when these vaccines are deployed in the larger scale beyond clinical trials.”

Even with the uncertainty, drug companies are rushing to begin testing in patients.

Johnson & Johnson said last week it will begin safety testing in early January of a vaccine combination that could protect against an Ebola strain that is “highly similar” to the virus that triggered the current outbreak.

The New Brunswick, New Jersey, company is spending up to $200 million to speed up production of

the vaccine, which it licensed in part from a Danish company last month. If safety tests are successful, the company hopes to begin large clinical trials in May 2015.

The two leading Ebola vaccines in the pipeline have largely been funded by government efforts, but their testing is being completed by a combination of corporate and public financing.

Human trials of a vaccine codeveloped by the U.S. National Institutes of Health and GlaxoSmithKline are being funded by the company, its charitable trust and funds from the U.S. and U.K. governments. It is being tested for safety in the U.S., U.K. and Mali.

GSK said it might be able to make about 1 million doses of its vaccine per month by the end of 2015, assuming that some logistical and regulatory hurdles can be overcome.

Infomercials used to promote graduation AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A university in northeast Ohio is lampooning infomercials as a way to push students to graduate on time.

The Finish In Time, or F.I.T., effort at the University of Akron urges students to take at least 15 credit hours per semester to stay on pace. The emailed videos show co-hosts dancing awkwardly and touting side effects of on-time graduation such as “more cash in your pocket” and “a craving for an extremely large burrito.”

They also get across the benefits of graduating with less college debt in a way the school hopes will connect with students.

“It’s a serious topic, but we wanted to do something to get the attention of the audience we were going to,” said Wayne Hill, associate vice president of marketing. “We went for cheeky, not preachy.”

Police, Guard face penalties in British bikini film shoot SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah National Guard members could face career-ending penalties for allowing a risque video featuring bikini-clad British women firing high-powered weapons and riding in tanks to be partially filmed at a military training camp, the agency’s top commander told state lawmakers Thursday.

A separate investigation, meanwhile, has found that a state police officer was on duty while participating in the video shoot earlier this year and that the models brandished three state-owned guns.

Maj. Gen. Jeff Burton told lawmakers Thursday that the handful of Guard members involved could face fines, demotions or forced retirements when an investigation is complete. Those involved, which include combat veterans and Purple Heart recipients, didn’t follow guidelines for private use of military equipment at Camp Williams, he said.

“Obviously, it’s a big hit. It’s a total violation of the values we espouse,” Burton said, according to a recording of the hearing.

“I’m also very concerned about them and their personal state of mind that would have allowed them to do something like this,” Burton said.

Two members of a Utah state SWAT team also appeared in the video in uniform, and one officer’s daily log shows him on duty at the time, said Capt. Doug McCleve, a Department of Public Safety spokesman. Though three of the guns used belong to the state, the ammunition came from Big Shot Ranch, a private gun club where most of the video was shot about 35 miles west of Salt Lake City.

“There will be action taken, there is no question,” McCleve said.

“To what level or extent depends on the information that we find.”

Though officers often give training and information to groups like scout troops and elected officials, the video was not a sanctioned activity, he said. Wearing agency uniforms in the video would be a violation

Davis down in polls, recalls comebacks HOUSTON (AP) — Reminding worshippers of overcoming long odds in her personal life, Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis on Sunday urged reliable Democratic voters at black churches to turnout in the face of predictions that she needs a miracle to win.

“I know that God gave me that blessing of struggles so that one day I could be a voice for people across this state,” Davis told congregants at Galilee Missionary Baptist Church.

“We have so much to do.”

An underdog biography that made Davis her party’s most compelling Texas candidate in decades has become a rallying cry as pundits — and even some Democrats privately — write off her chances with little more than a week before Election Day. Two public polls last week found her trailing Republican

Attorney General Greg Abbott by double digits.

Abbott didn’t campaign Sunday. While Davis popped into a half-dozen Sunday morning church services across Houston flanked by other Texas Democrats, Abbott is whipping up conservatives in a finalstretch tour with actor Chuck Norris, who’s previously done the same for Republican Gov. Rick Perry.

From the downtown church of megastar Beyonce to boisterous Baptist sermons on the city fringes, Davis got cheers when noting that Perry’s record 14 years as governor would end in January. She vowed to end years of GOP defiance and bring Medicaid expansion to Texas, fight to raise the minimum wage and prioritize schools.

Her shorthand version of being raised by a mom with a ninth-grade education before

herself becoming a poor single mother returning groceries in the checkout line resonated in the pews. Abortion rights — the issue that vaulted Davis to national political stardom last year — wasn’t mentioned until one pastor brought it up.

“You know that I don’t believe in abortion,” said Rev. Carl Davis of New Life Tabernacle Church. “But you know that doesn’t mean I won’t support her in other ways.”

Abbott has suggested that Davis hasn’t given him a closer race, in part, because her attacks have turned off voters. On Sunday, she never said his name.

“I’ve been focused on addressing the everyday challenges of Texas while my opponent’s been focused on addressing me,” Abbott said in an interview last week.

Davis’ chances of pulling an upset Nov. 4 rest in getting an unusually large turnout in a non-presidential election year.

Yet the first week of early voting in Harris County — the largest county in Texas and a Democratic stronghold— didn’t bring her campaign good news: turnout is down 20 percent from the last Texas governor’s race in 2010.

Republicans have won every statewide election in Texas since 1994, and Davis said she’s not ready to consider whether her run made a dent for Democrats win or lose.

“If by chance I do not win, I’ll entertain questions like that,” Davis said. “I’m very proud of the campaign that we’ve built.

I’m very proud that we’ve pushed forward a message that people are responding to.”

nentially, meeting a significant other has never been such a frightening and challenging procedure. Mobilization has broken many barriers, its largest reigning among the closed-minded.

I agree that it seems preposterous to rely on a machine to find our better half. However, like all other introduced 21st century inventions, I think it is important to at least try online dating out, and discover whether this strategy works or not.

Meeting “the one” requires one to commit to the search process with an open and honest heart. Most importantly, traversing the dating grounds demands one to adapt an open mind. It is this open mind that makes it possible to touch on the area of virtual dating and exposing oneself to opportunity.

Traditional dating is inefficient; online dating uncovers a new method of finding romance and establishing the notion of forever.

O

nline dating is rapidly becoming an accepted way to meet a significant other. In many cases, online dating has proven to be a large waste of time and reveals trends of our evolving society.

According to online dating statistics on statisticbrain.com, approximately 41 of the 52 million singles in the United States have tried some type of online dating with the male to female population being roughly divided half and half. Largely, this fact characterizes people’s impatience with finding the right one.

Why wait on the right person when there are 20 million people available for you to romance online right now? Here’s one reason — catfish. The person you spend days, months and even sometimes years talking to may not be that person at all — they might not even be the sex you think they are.

You really don’t know who

that person is by looking at their pictures or by what they message you. While a picture may be worth a thousand words, studies reveal that it’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. “Experts say that 7 percent of human communication comes from words, while 38 percent is from a person’s tone of the voice and a whopping 55 percent comes from [their] body language,” according to a UCLA study that indicated up to 93 percent of communication effectiveness is determined by nonverbal cues.

In order to find a long lasting and healthy relationship, physically being with that person is extremely important. If staying inside and dating people you may never physically see outside of megapixels interests you, then maybe online dating is the way to go. You would benefit yourself far more by getting out and investing energy into things you enjoy. Who knows, you might see a real person whom you could possibly date.

Another trend admitted by online daters is taking people at face value. Judging someone off his or her image, height, weight and income fails to be a recipe for success. You would be able to tell much more about a person hearing them say one sentence in person than you could ever get out of countless pictures on the Internet.

It would sure bother me if my girlfriend were to say, “John Smith! I don’t want to hang out with him, his teeth are crooked.” It would be more com-

forting to hear, “Well, I don’t really want to, he’s a little too wild for me.” Basing someone off looks isn’t humane, and while we all admittedly do it, it would be nice to make a conscious effort to not take so much from a person’s physical appearance.

The fact cannot be ignored that online dating gives people access to millions of single people who share similar interests around all parts of the globe. Also, if you’re not generally a socialite, it’s possible the online dating scene could jump start you t o g e t y o u rself out there and meet new people.

If the goal is to find a real and lasting relationship — an offline relationship — why people would choose to start the search online doesn’t make a lot of sense.

For the most part, it seems online dating is a quick, yet dangerous way to stay connected in some type of relationship and to get attention from others.

While I know firsthand that it is near impossible, I hope everyone realizes they are worthwhile and lovable people. Even if they do not see it or feel it now, I encourage them to do things they love and the right person will come along.

For those discouraged by the dating scene, don’t take the easy way out. You might find yourself miserable and settled with the wrong person years down the road. Be the best person you can be by doing things that make you happy. While your special someone might be on the Internet, they are definitely in

“

ten word, has been happening for centuries. The Web has only made it easier. Some experts say communicating online before meeting IRL (that’s In Real Life) can actually foster strong relationships by helping those with similar interests come together over great distances.

Potential lovers overlook superficial turnoffs, and people open to each other faster and more deeply.”

Physically meeting a stranger for the first time is intimidating, leading to the construction of a wall built f o r t h e p u rpose of safeguarding one’s hopes, dreams and passions.

Online dating deteriorates many of these fears, making it safer and easier to share some of one’s thoughts on a profile that would have otherwise never have been done through the first couple of meetings. It is evident that attitudes toward online dating have shifted positively through the years.

According to an article by The Washington Post, “Pew last asked Americans about their attitudes toward online dating in 2005, about 10 years after the sites really started to gain popularity. Since then, the rate of people who find lasting, longterm relationships or spouses on online dating sites has jumped dramatically, from 15 percent of Americans in 2005 to 29 percent now.”

Wide acceptance of online dating serves as an insightful predicament of what all other positive wonders this methodology of finding a mate brings.

According to an article by The Huffington Post, “New research suggests that one in three Americans now meet their spouses online, and that those marriages are more satisfying and less likely to end in divorce than those that begin in traditional, offline venues.”

As populations grow expo-

M

illions of people worldwide can identify with the ambiguous, gray areas that the romance era brings today. Oldfashioned ideals are quickly evolving and being replaced by new processes. Jumping from point A to point B is done in a faster, inexplicable fashion, leading to the abandonment of reluctance, and to the embracement of newly renovated dating avenues of which includes the virtual acceptance of the online dating world.

Ti m e h a s transformed us into digitally fluent beings, becoming more tech savvy and dependent on gadgets such as mobile devices. Cell phone usage can translate into the passage of dating, making it possible and easier to meet a mate through the operation of an app.

According to a Forbes article, “In 2013, the amount of time Americans spent on mobile devices, excluding phone calls, for the first time exceeded the time spent on PCs, according to eMarketer. If people are already using their phones as credit cards, gaming consoles and movie theaters, it stands to reason they’d become matchmakers too.”

Industries have been brilliant in detecting the multitude of prospects and advantages a mobile device brings to an individual. Hopelessness is becoming a thing of the past as more entities are being granted the liberty of utilizing the Internet as a market for online dating and having a mobile device to do so.

In addition to the quick accessibility brought by a portable mobile device, online dating helps minimize many of the time blocks brought when searching for “the one.”

No. 10 Texas Christian Horned Frogs set Big 12 Conference points-scored record in victory over Red Raiders

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY Staff Writer

PHOTO BY ZACK BRAME/The Daily Toreador

TEXAS TECH WIDE receiver Bradley Marquez hangs his head after the 82-27 loss to Texas Christian, making Tech 1-4 in conference play.

The Texas Tech football team allowed the most points in school history in an 8227 loss to Texas Christian in Fort Worth on Saturday afternoon.

The Horned Frogs racked up 785 total yards of offense behind junior quarterback Trevone Boykin’s seven touchdown passes, both of which are school records according to the TCU Athletics website.

Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said TCU was simply the better team on Saturday and Tech has many areas to work on.

“They made a bunch of plays. I saw a bunch of missed tackles. I think we gave them the ball four times on our side of the field as turnovers,” he said. “It’s inexcusable in a lot of areas and we have to keep working to improve it.”

The Red Raiders jumped out to a 7-0 lead less than one minute into the game with sophomore quarterback Davis Webb throwing a 57-yard touchdown pass to senior running back/linebacker Kenny Williams for his first touchdown of the season.

The first quarter turned into a shoot-

out as Tech gained 287 of the combined 512 total offensive yards and ended with TCU leading 24-17.

The Red Raiders were soon plagued by turnovers and special teams mistakes, getting outscored 58-10 after the first quarter.

Despite setting a school record for number of points scored, TCU head coach Gary Patterson said the team still needs to improve if they want to win the Big 12 Conference.

“I don’t think we played well all game.

We still had to kick three or four field goals in the red zone in the second quarter,” Patterson said. “If you want to win a championship, you have to play better.

I’m way happy for them, but I told them before the ball game they weren’t ready after watching them warm up. Fortunately for us, we didn’t play well and we won a ballgame. That hadn’t happened around here over the last two years.”

For the second time this season, sophomore quarterback Davis Webb was forced to leave the game early after he suffered a leg injury early in the third quarter.

Webb threw for 300 yards, including 230 in the first quarter, and two touch-

downs before being knocked out of the game. He has now thrown a touchdown in his first 18 career games as a Red Raider, which is a school record according to a Tech Athletics news release.

There has been no update on the extent of his injury.

TCU senior defensive tackle Chucky Hunter said the defense was just playing the best they could to get the ball back to Boykin and the offense.

“This offseason it was really just about being one unit as an offense and a defense and not just a defense and an offense,” he said. “We really play for each other.”

After Webb was injured, freshman quarterback Patrick Mahomes played the remainder of the game. He finished the game with 45 yards on 5 of 11 attempts, with one touchdown and one interception. Mahomes also ran the ball seven times for 18 yards.

Junior running back DeAndre Washington had his streak of two straight 100yard games broken as he finished with 77 yards on 13 rushes.

As a team, Tech ran the ball 28 times for 101 yards compared to 305 rushing yards on 41 attempts for TCU.

After not being able to run the ball as much because they were trailing, Washington said he was disappointed in Tech’s performance and they have get better for next week.

“They were a better team today.

We’ve just got to come back Monday and come back ready to work,” Washington said. “There is really no excuse for it.

82 points is a lot and there’s no excuse.

We’ve got to get better.”

After Boykin’s historic performance, Kingsbury said Boykin is a frontrunner for the Heisman trophy in his opinion.

“I thought he was a top three Heisman guy, and to watch him live and in person, he’s got to be a front-runner. He’s that good. He’s the best player in the country in my opinion,” he said. “Even when you think you’ve got him, you don’t have him. He creates plays. You play that many snaps and don’t turn the ball over, that’s impressive.”

The Red Raiders are now 3-5 on the season including 1-4 in conference play.

Tech will try to improve its record when it takes on Texas at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. ➤➤jkrakosky@dailytoreador.com

Tech did not post a team score, according to the release, as Red Raider coach Jon Murray rested several of his top runners to prepare them for postseason

play next week.

Sophomore Maggy Mulholland finished the 6,000-meter race in second place with a time of 24:28.00 to lead the women’s team, according to the release.

The men’s team was led by sophomore James McIlwain, according to the release, who finished 13th with a time of 27:58.00. He was followed closely by two other Red Raid-

ers, Wyatt Kieler and Todd Mickey, who finished 16th and 17th, respectively.

“This was a fine tune-up meet in preparation for the Big 12 meet, next weekend,” Texas Tech head coach Jon Murray said. “We were able to clarify our top 10 runners from this race. We’re ready for the postseason to start.” ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com

Red Raiders persevere to win against Bears Staff Writer

No. 19 Texas Tech (13-3-1; 3-31) came out with a 1-0 win against Baylor (8-6-2; 2-3-1) Friday night at home at the John Walker Soccer Complex.

In the 70th minute, junior forward Janine Beckie scored the game-winning goal to put Tech ahead.

Junior midfielder Hannah Devine tried to score the goal first, but senior goalkeeper Michelle Kloss made the save. Beckie then swooped in to gather the rebound and scored.

Tech coach Tom Stone said there is no one else he would rather have in those situations than Beckie.

“It was wonderful seeing Janine score that goal because we are always encouraging her to get in the box and get to that near post,” Stone said.

Beckie is usually in the perfect spot to capitalize on rebounds, he said. She just needs to take advantage of those more.

The opportunity for Beckie resulted in her fifth game-winning goal this season, according to Tech Athletics. The game-winner tied her for the single-season record with senior midfielder Paige Strahan and

former Red Raiders Kristi Patterson and Kristi Frantz.

Tech once again dealt with shots bouncing off the goalposts and crossbar. Heap had a shot deflected into the right goalpost, and Beckie’s free

Beckie said those deflections did not mess with Tech’s psyche. The team made sure to focus on itself because it cannot control when bad breaks occur.

“When those balls don’t bounce our way, you just got to keep running,” she said. “Just got to keep running them down and keep playing them because if you stop then the momentum is going to shift and they’re going to get it.”

Foster scores 3 TDs as Houston Texans beat Tennessee Titans 30-16 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Arian Foster helped the Houston Texans put an end to their threegame skid in time for a signature moment in franchise history.

Foster ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a pass for a score, and the Texans beat the Tennessee Titans 30-16 Sunday for a win in the franchise’s 200th game.

The Texans (4-4) finally got

oped during the first portion of Big 12 Conference play when it went 0-3-1, Beckie said. Of those first four games, Beckie said West Virginia is the only team to outplay Tech.

Following those games, Tech no longer looks at adversity with fear, she said. The team looks at adversity as an opportunity to show what it is made of and it feels special.

This special quality helped Tech earn the victory on a special night, “Senior Night.” Before the game, senior defenders Jaelene Hinkle, Bridgett Jenkins, Taylor Narvaiz and Alex Romanelli were honored for what they have contributed to the team in their time at Tech along with senior midfielder Erin Inman and Strahan.

Hinkle said it was huge to earn this win.

Baylor always plays tough with its size and defense, she said. Not to mention, the atmosphere was electric with 1,468 people in attendance.

“On senior night it is hard sometimes to focus and you want to take it all in,” Hinkle said, “but we had business to do tonight and I’m glad that we took care of it.”

Tech is now on a three-game winning streak, which gives the team sole possession of fourth place in the Big 12 standings, according

ARLINGTON (AP) — Just the prospect of Washington quarterback Colt McCoy playing in his return to Texas was enough to get family and friends buzzing.

The former star for the Texas Longhorns will start Monday night against the Cowboys if the Redskins decide, as expected, that Robert Griffin III needs at least another week to recover from a dislocated ankle.

Even if Washington does the unexpected, the past week has been a refreshing one for McCoy. He was signed by the Redskins in the offseason only because they wanted a third quarterback to absorb some work behind Griffin and Kirk Cousins.

“I was going to get a few tickets before (when) I wasn’t playing and now it has turned into a laundry list,” McCoy said. “I don’t want it to be too big of a distraction, though. I am excited about going back to Dallas.”

McCoy’s return to the site of his last college game in his home state feels more like a revival than a reunion.

The 2010 third-round pick by Cleveland started 13 games for

the Browns in 2011 before he was sidelined by a head injury. He hasn’t started since.

McCoy got the call at halftime last week when Cousins was struggling, and led a fourth-quarter drive to Kai Forbath’s last-play field goal in a 19-17 win over Tennessee.

He’s ahead of Cousins on the depth chart for now, but he’ll never be ahead of a healthy Griffin, the 2012 Offensive Rookie of the Year who won the Heisman Trophy a year earlier at Baylor, just up the road from McCoy’s college home.

None of that will matter if McCoy is under center on “Monday Night Football” in one of the NFL’s oldest rivalries at the $1.2 billion home of the Cowboys.

That’s where McCoy’s pass off the railing with the clock approaching 0:00 led to the officiating crew putting a second back on the scoreboard. Texas kicked a field goal in a 13-12 win over Nebraska for the 2009 Big 12 championship and a spot in the national title game.

Alabama then won the BCS crown after McCoy was sidelined early by a shoulder injury.
