UDance breaks fundraising record for childhood cancer research BY CADY ZUVICH & MILLARD ADAM VAUGHN Student Affairs Editor & Staff Reporter

In preparation to dance, junior Dan Defina and sophomore Taylor Dieffenbach, both members of Sigma Phi Epsilon, were on the sidelines of the field house Sunday night in the downward dog yoga pose. Both students, who arrived at UDance at 11 a.m., said yoga prepares them for what was ahead. “Yoga is just a good way to stretch out,” Dieffenbach said. Sigma Phi Epsilon, one of the cofounders of UDance, participate in the dance marathon as a way to gather the fraternity to work for a good cause, Defina said. In its seventh year at the university, UDance is the university’s largest student-run philanthropic organization that raises money for pediatric cancer research.

Defina and Dieffenbach raised $150 and $75 respectively. When the clock strikes 11 p.m. and the total amount of money raised is announced, everyone is very excited, Defina said. “The last hour is always so awesome and so inspirational,” Defina said. The grand total amount of money raised was announced just after 11 p.m as $551,051.16, a record-breaking amount for the group. UDance was founded in 2007 by Jessie Forman and was originally sponsored by the Greek organizations Sigma Phi Epsilon and Alpha Epsilon Phi. The organization has grown since then, after partnering with the Delaware-based Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation in 2009, and other Greek organizations. All donations raised by UDance go to The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation, which honors the memory of Andrew McDonough

by supporting medical research for critically ill children. Last year, UDance raised over $475,000 in donations, more than twice as much as the previous five years combined. To date, the organization has raised over $900,000 for pediatric cancer research, according to the UDance website. The fundraising goal this year was to beat last year’s goal, Joe McDonough, founder and father of Andrew McDonough said. As every year goes by, McDonough said he is more and more amazed to see how massive the event gets, and not just in fundraising dollars. He said he sees more and more students coming out every year from various groups, including Greek Life, student housing and clubs. McDonough said he hopes to see UDance grow in number to the point where everyone at the university participates. By pairing “B+ Heroes,” or Children with Cancer with groups on campus, he said it makes childhood cancer more palpable. “It puts a face on childhood cancer,” he said. “These aren’t just statistics, these are little boys and girls just like my 14-year-old son who died in his sister’s arms.” The potential to touch more lives is limitless, McDonough said. Senior and Executive CoCoordinator of UDance Megan Rudolphi said she has been involved with UDance since her freshman year and has found it to be one of the most rewarding experiences of her college career.

Delaware failed to execute on two key possessions, which sealed its fate.

JMU ends Delaware’s dreams in final seconds of tournament game BY RYAN MARSHALL Managing Sports Editor

RICHMOND, Va. — For the second time this season, James Madison sent the Delaware men’s basketball team home with heads hanging. A wild and controversial finish ended the Hens’ CAA Final and NCAA Tournament dreams. Two free throws by Dukes guard Devon Moore with 3.7 seconds left put the Dukes up 5857. In response, Delaware head coach Monté Ross drew up a fullcourt play where senior forward Jamelle Hagins caught the ball near half court and passed it to junior guard Devon Saddler, who drove as far as he could before taking an off-balance jumper near the foul line. The ball clanged off the rim and the Dukes stormed the court.

Ross said the Hens got the ball in the right person’s hands and Saddler got a good look, but the shot just didn’t fall. Delaware failed to execute on two key possessions at the end of the game, which proved to be the difference. The first involved a contentious play with sophomore guard Jarvis Threatt, who took an inbound pass with 13.3 seconds remaining and dribbled down the side of the court. As the defender approached, the referee blew the whistle and pointed to the line. He ruled Threatt had dribbled out of bounds. All Threatt could muster up postgame was that the referee made the call he saw. “Let me just say he wasn’t out of bounds,” Ross said in defense of his starting point guard.
