SGA votes to fund sustainable projects

BY JAMIE WILLIAMS

HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU

The Student Government Association approved funding for Big Red Bikes and the Community Farmers Market “Double Dollars” Program during its meeting Tuesday night.

The Big Red Bikes program allows students, faculty and staff to rent bicycles for free, as long as there are bikes available. In the past, the program has received the Paula Nye Memorial Education Grant to cover expenses, but the program needed additional funding since the grant has ended.

“There’s no telling what this startup could actually generate in terms of not only the bike-friendly culture on campus, but everywhere else,” Jody Dahmer, SGA senator and an author of the approved bill, said.

The bill will grant Big Red Bikes over $800 for maintenance and upkeep needs for the bicycles, such as brake pads, chains and bike locks.

According to Big Red Bikes mechanic Colton Turley, the program currently has 40 usable bicycles, 35 of which are being rented. The program has an additional 15 bicycles in need of repairs and 70 bicycles that have been donated but are not yet ready to be rented out. The grant will help cover expenses to prepare these 85 bicycles for rental use.

Last semester, Big Red Bikes rented out approximately 50 of 51 usable bicycles and had a wait list within the first week. The program hopes preparing more bicycles for use will keep supply higher than student demand, eliminating the need for a wait list. In 2016, 68 total bicycles were checked out via the program.

“We’re hoping 2017 and this next semester will be the one semester where everyone’s going to be wanting to check out bikes and needing them for transportation, and we can double that [number],” Turley said.

The same bill also provided funding for the Community Farmers Market “Double Dollars” Program. This program allows students who spend Big Red dollars at the Community Farmers Market to effectively double the amount of food they get for their purchase.

LOCAL Lawyers SHED LIGHT ON RIGHTS, IMMIGRATION LAW

ocal immigration lawyers spoke Tuesday night at an immigration law forum organized by a WKU student.

Bowling Green sophomore Francisco Serrano organized, moderated and translated the event into Spanish. A panel of six attorneys answered questions that had been submitted to Serrano and also took questions from the audience.

Panelists were Carlos Bailey, Ryan Schwank, David Funke, Judy Schwank, Heather Brooks and Brett Reynolds. All panelists specialize in various parts of immigration law throughout Bowling Green and Kentucky.

The forum opened up with a pre-submitted question about what would happen to children if their parents were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Funke, Judy Schwank and

Event connects students with career professionals

BY REBEKAH ALVEY HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU Students gathered in Downing Student Union Nite Class for the Connect event hosted by Intercultural Student Engagement Center and Black Leaders Advocating for the community.

The event offered students the opportunity to talk one-on-one with professionals in numerous fields.

Ryan Dearbone, assistant director of college advancement, described the event as a chance for students to network and gain advice from prominent minorities in the community in an intimate setting.

Connect is one of the final events put on by ISEC for Black History Month. Through the other events,

Dearbone said students have been able to see people like them in high positions.

“It’s good to hear what they did when they were in your shoes and get words of encouragement,” senior Adeleke Ademuyewo said.

The career fields showcased at Connect were health care, K-12 education, management, finance accounting, education and youth related programming, psychology/counseling and journalism and broadcasting.

Some students focused on one particular career while others were just exploring options. Freshman Emily Jacoby said she is currently interested in pre-vet but wanted to explore other medical fields and op-

IMMIGRATION Continued from front

Ryan Schwank all offered opinions in response to the question.

“We don’t really know what’s going to happen with children,” Judy Schwank said.

She said her office provides a temporary guardianship document that illegal and undocumented immigrants can fill out that will transfer guardianship of their children to someone else in the case that they are detained.

Ryan Schwank said when people are detained by Immigration Customs Enforcement, they will often be charged with a different crime, such as marijuana possession.

“It’s never a good idea to try to deal with this on your own,” Ryan Schwank said, later adding immigration is an “extremely complex area of the law.”

Other questions, both pre-submitted and from the audience, asked the lawyers what immigrants should do if law enforcement shows up at their house. Judy Schwank advised making sure they have a warrant for someone who is currently in the house.

Judy Schwank said although she has not had issues with local ICE officers, she recommends to her clients who are undocumented “that they put three chain locks on their door,” in order to protect themselves in case

“It helps you find out more about yourself and career,” Jacoby said.

Although there weren’t professionals for every career, students were able to take away general tips. Jacoby said her group emphasized the importance of studying, pushing yourself and connecting with professors.

“It makes a huge impact on a lot of the lives of students, especially because the healthy eating options on campus are pretty limited,” Dahmer said.

According to the bill, approximately 4,000 Big Red Dollars were spent at the Community Farmers Market in 2016, 92 percent of which were doubled through the program. With the

officers try to enter their homes illegally.

Judy Schwank also suggested residents of the home do not open the door if the person whose name is on the warrant is not present. She and Funke both suggested if the person is not present, the resident makes it clear to the officers and asks them to leave.

Funke emphasized the importance of being honest if approached by an ICE officer.

“What you should never do is lie,” Funke said.

Funke continued by saying if asked for your name, the person should give it, but depending on the situation, may not legally be required to reveal more information, such as legal status.

The lawyers also reminded attendees they are protected by the Bill of Rights and due process in the United States.

“Everyone has a due process right,” Bailey said.

Throughout the forum, questions were raised about specific immigrants’ situations. One immigrant, a student from Iran, asked about acquiring a visa in order to stay in the United States after his student visa expires. A woman whose parents are legal residents of the United States and whose brother was protected under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, asked about the easiest way

to help her brother become a citizen.

With most questions about specific cases, the lawyers agreed that it depends on the situation.

The lawyers also said they may need more information on specific cases in order to give the best answer.

At the end of the forum, Serrano thanked everyone for coming and the lawyers for their input.

School, said he hoped to offer any guidance and support. Previously he was recognized by Black Leaders Advocating for Community for his 22 years in education work.

He explained when he was in college and trying to pick a career, he had a lot of questions as well as a lot of support and role models. Jackson said he saw the event as an opportunity to become a supporter and role model for the students.

Sophomore Jada Jefferson isn’t majoring in education but participated in the group with Jackson. She said it

felt like he and kindergarten teacher Brittany Stigall were really listening and giving great advice.

Jackson emphasized passion for your career and explained without it, you can become overwhelmed, especially with a great task like educating.

“If you have a passion for it, that’s what wakes you up in the morning,” Jackson said.

One of the more popular career groups was health care, led by Gloria Merroquin and Yolanda Reid. Reid received her doctorate from WKU in 2015 and is now a nurse practitioner.

program, over $7,700 worth of fresh foods went to students in 2016.

The senate also heard a bill that supported the creation of a scholarship for international students with F1 or J1 visas. The bill, which was ultimately not passed, would have provided $1,000 in scholarships for at least two international students.

One author of the bill, Senator and President of the International Student Diplomats Flavio Chavarri, said he often sees international students who are concerned with how to pay for their studies.

“My main mission is to integrate international students on campus,” Chavarri said. “The number one

question I always receive is ‘how can I apply for a scholarship?’”

Several concerns arose during discussion of the bill, including the cost of the scholarship and its burden on the SGA’s dwindling budget. Senator Lily Nellans said the scholarship would, at maximum, help about four students and would be a high investment for a low return.

“Maybe there’s something we can research in the future that would benefit the whole international student population instead of just four individual students, especially given how tight our budget is,” Nellans said.

Senator Kenan Mujkanovic also expressed concern that the scholarship

She said through her group she could share about a specific path and what it takes to make it in the nursing program, which is increasingly popular.

Reid emphasized the importance of programs like Connect because minorities rarely get to meet African-American professionals in their field. She said seeing people like them motivates students.

Reporter Rebekah Alvey can be reached at 270-745-6011 and rebekah. alvey660@topper.wku.edu. would only be available to F1 and J1 visa holders and not to students who may hold other types of visas, such as refugees. Chavarri said the bill only included F1 and J1 visa holders since those students are usually the ones paying higher out-of-state tuition costs.

After much debate, the bill ultimately failed with a 9-14 vote.

The next SGA meeting will be Tuesday at 5 p.m. in Downing Student Union.

Staff honored for community leadership roles

The Trailblazers Committee honored Martha Sales, executive director for the WKU TRIO programs and the intercultural student engagement center, for her work in higher education. Sales said she was “honored and humbled” by the award. “I wouldn’t be able to do the work that I do without the help from God,” she said. “He is my driving force.” Ryan Dearbone, assistant director of college advancement at WKU, was honored for his entrepreneurship. Dearbone owns a video production business, 823 Enterprises, where he uses the skills he learned as a multimedia journalist. Dearbone said receiving this award is “a charge to do more.” Aurelia Spaulding, communications and marketing coordinator for WKU public affairs, received an award for community service. “[Volunteering] opened my eyes to how we all contribute to this broader sense of community,” Spaulding said. BROOK JOYNER/HERALD

BY EMILY DELETTER HERALD.NEWS@WKU.EDU Four WKU staff members were recognized for their leadership qualities by the Bowling Green Trailblazers Committee on Sunday. Awarded during Black History Month, the Trailblazer distinguishes six local African-American community members for leadership qualities in management, civic engagement, community service, law, entrepreneurship and higher education.

The two honorees not on WKU’s staff are Ronald Lewis and Carlos Bailey, distinguished for their work in civic engagement and law.

The event was held at Eleventh Street Baptist Church in Bowling Green and featured various forms of artistic interpretation by youth and adults demonstrating the achievements and life stories of the honorees.

Martha Sales, selected for her work in higher education, said she was pleasantly surprised when she watched the skit, performed by one of her former students.

“I was filled with tears and laughter,” Sales said. “It was very emotional.”

Sales is the executive director of WKU TRIO programs and the Intercultural Student Engagement Center.

TRIO is a federally funded program assisting first-generation and low-income students to continue pursuing higher education.

Ryan Dearbone, assistant director of college advancement in the Office of Development and Alumni Relations, was also one of the 2017 Trailblazers from WKU, recognized for entrepreneurship. Dearbone said he was humbled when he heard the news.

“I’m one of the new kids on the block, so I was completely shocked,” Dearbone said. “I like to be busy in Bowling Green and find ways to make

it better.”

Dearbone is active in his local community both inside and outside of WKU. He is the president of the Martin Luther King, Jr. planning committee, chairperson for Black Leaders Advocating for the Community as well as the secretary for the Bowling Green-Warren County chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

“I’m passionate about dealing with equality – social, racial and economic,” Dearbone said. “I want to be a part of those discussions.”

For Aurelia Spaulding, communications and marketing coordinator, becoming a Trailblazer gave a special meaning to her work. Spaulding previously served as the second vice president of the Bowling Green chapter of the NAACP, and now serves as the current fiscal manager for nonprofit organization Light of Chance.

Spaulding was recognized for her community service and said she believes her mission in life is to help others by working with them.

“I try to identify different ways I can work with others,” Spaulding said. “My belief is that from the moment I wake up I work to somehow contribute to the greater good.”

Another WKU honoree recognized was WKU’s shipping and receiving manager, Johnalma Barnett, in the area of management. Many of her employees are international students with whom she has formed a connection going beyond the daily workforce.

Barnett said she felt she received the award because of her passion for people.

“I was very surprised, because everyone else has a lot of titles and degrees,” Barnett said. “But I always say, when you succeed, you succeed in all phases of your life.”

SLICE TO SAVOR

Eating greens is the nutritional pot of gold

BY KELLY BURGESS HERALD.OPINION@WKU.EDU

I

consider greens the nutritional pot of gold because of the unique bounty of nutritional benefits in this particularly lucky color of foods.

The color green has many associaKELLY tions, but almost all BURGESS relate to prosperity, health or wealth. For example, green means go, the grass is always greener, and it never hurts to have a little green in your pocket.

“Make sure you eat your greens,” may have been some of the wisest and luckiest health advice you have ever received. Thankfully, the edible greens are as diverse as the shades and hues on the spectrum of the color itself. Choose your favorite shade of green, and there is bound to be a tasty counterpart bearing the color.

The shade Kelly green is one of my favorites, but also because spinach and broccoli are two of my favorite go-to greens!

Other delicious greens include kale, swiss chard and cabbage, just to name a few. While all greens share some of the same nutrients and

health benefits, they do have unique nutrient profiles as well, which may help you decide which ones to focus on adding to your personal diet.

Most all greens contain high levels of Vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. Interestingly, beta-carotene is an orange pigment, but it is still present in green veggies. Chlorophyll masks the orange color but is thankfully not strong enough to take away its nutritional benefits.

Vitamin A is especially helpful for immunity and eye health.

Vitamin C is also rich in most green foods, providing immune protection and keeping your skin looking young and “green” by preventing wrinkling later in life. Greens are also a crucial supplier of Folate, a B vitamin that promotes cell reproduction and differentiation, which is especially important for growing youth and pregnant women.

More specifically, spinach is a great source of iron, which is noteworthy for women and vegetarians. Kale is also a wonderful source of Calcium, which is key to bone health and electrolyte balance. Cabbage, along with the other greens, is a great food source of cancer fighting chemicals.

Luckily there is such a variety of green foods, and equally as many

ways to enjoy them. Some of my favorite ways to enjoy greens are in smoothies, salads and soups, or used as add-ons to other favorite dishes. If you are a little skeptical of spinach, try mixing it with other greens such as romaine lettuce or spring mix in your salad. Spinach can also be disguised in smoothies with berries, bananas and apples.

You will see the color, but hardly taste any difference.

Kale is a little bit more tough and fibrous, so it is great cooked and added to other dishes. Make sure you keep the water from your kale and swiss chard — the cooking process makes the water vitamin-rich, so use that as a base for soup instead of spending money on commercial broths. You can always add some green to your omelets, pastas and sandwiches as well. St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect opportunity to try your hand with cabbage; skillet cooking with a little olive oil and black pepper makes for a perfect side with pork or sausage. In the summer months, eat your cabbage as cole slaw!

Since you were lucky enough to find this pot of gold, don’t forget to stay healthy and keep it green!

WALK IN THE LIFE

Counting down to graduation, seeking Lord’s guidance

BY GINA HATCHETT HERALD.OPINION@WKU.EDU I’ve started a graduation countdown on my phone. I am 72 days from walking in the spring graduation ceremony.

This last semester, in particular, has left GINA me reflecting over my HATCHETT last four years here on the Hill. Some superficial things come to mind like, “I should have taken more time studying for that test… I bet I disappointed the professor” or “Should have probably eaten less Great American Donut Shop (GADS) and more salad.”

But, as important or unimportant

as those things are, there are things that won’t fade with time like asking myself the question, “Did I live out the last four years here to glorify God and make His Name known?” Now, that is the big question I have found myself wrestling with.

The past is the past, and I cannot go back and change my actions.

Yes, I know I should have said “Hi” to that girl who sits by herself every day in Downing Student Union or stopped to ask how that one person was doing and how I could be praying for them rather than avoiding eye contact and walking back. Yes, I still remember those wide, open opportunities I had to share the gospel but rather gulped back the words out of fear of rejection and straight disobedience.

Recently, I feel like the Lord has

been laying on my heart that I have thrived and dived in certain ways.

However, I am not called to just simply look back with wanting and regret, but rather now look forward with fresh eyes and a moved heart to see I have 72 days left on campus.

Days that can be filled with getting caught up in myself and my desires or given to God with open hands and a heart that says, “Your Will, alone, be done.”

1 Peter 3:15 reads “…but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect…”

I am called to be prepared to share my faith and do it from a place of love and encouragement.

So, as these next 72 days pass by,

every day I am internally dedicating it to the Lord’s guidance. Yeah, I still have exams to study for, friends I want to be intentional with and a future to plan for after graduation, but I also know 60 years from now, none of that will matter – only our relationships with our Creator and Good Father.

My encouragement to all of those graduating and even to those who still have some years left, can be found in Colossians 3:1-2, “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on Earth.”

Everything will pass, but one thing will remain.

Trent Marcum, the lead who played Charlie Brown, said “Something of this magnitude has the ability to reach out and shake the lives of others. It’s beautiful and awe inspiring, and it, like any other art form, is vital to our understanding of each other and the world around us.”

Kentucky Museum to host art celebration

BY OLIVIA MOHR

HERALD.FEATURES@WKU.EDU Over 350 pieces of visual art from 188 different artists will be on display at Kentucky Museum on campus on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. for the US Bank Celebration of the Arts’ opening night with an awards ceremony at 7 p.m.

The exhibition will be on display from March 4 to April 8. There are 51 different awards, with artists entering as professional or amateur artists to win cash prizes.

Brent Bjorkman is the director of the Kentucky Museum and coordinates staff in putting the show together. According to Bjorkman, the exhibition supports and celebrates

the work of local artists.

“It’s just a way to celebrate the rich creativity of the artists that are living and working throughout the South-central Kentucky region,” Bjorkman said.

Bjorkman said WKU students are welcome to submit work.

“The US Bank show is a really great stepping-off point for WKU students … that want to share and become validated for the wonderful stuff that they do,” he said.

Bjorkman feels Celebration of the Arts gives artists an opportunity to be appreciated in a safe, non-threatening space.

“I think the art is a way to celebrate really great artists, but I think one of the ways that it benefits both WKU and the community is it allows a safe

space to share your art with so many other people, and I think that’s something especially any new artist needs if they want to have a non-threatening type of place where people can see you and you can be appreciated,” he said.

Local artists within a 65-mile radius from Kentucky Museum can submit their work, so the exhibition represents artists from South-central Kentucky. There are eight different categories of art, including painting, sculpture, photography and cyber art. Artists can enter up to two pieces of art.

Artists have the option to sell their art. The funds from work sold go mainly to artists, and a small percentage is split between Kentucky Museum and the WKU art depart-

ment. The money that goes to the art department goes to scholarship opportunities within the department.

Admission on opening night on March 3 is free. After that, visitors must pay the regular admission fee.

Admission is free for WKU students and faculty with valid ID and children younger than six years old, $10 for adults, $5 for children and $20 for families.

2017 will mark Celebration of the Arts’ 30th anniversary. The exhibit used to be on display each year at US Bank in downtown Bowling Green but moved to the Kentucky Museum in 2004. US Bank is the primary sponsor, along with other sponsors.

Because this year will be the show’s 30th anniversary, the Kentucky Mu-

STORM

“It just came out of nowhere. I’m just glad nobody’s hurt,” said Weaver, who lost two structures on her property and suffered significant damage to her home.

Weaver’s family helped clear her property, even before the first responders had arrived. Damage to the

house included fallen beams, broken windows, roof collapse and water damage.

Power lines were repaired by Pike Electric at 9 a.m., helping to restore power to thousands of affected residents. No injuries were reported in Warren County, according to Tim

Meyer, assistant chief of the Alvaton Fire Department.

Other areas in the Midwestern region of the U.S. fared worse with at least three people killed by the storm cell in Illinois and Missouri, according to CNN.

“It’s very beneficial to the students here as well because they have another opportunity to show their work as well as showing it out in other regional competitions, so it’s beneficial that they have something right here at home that they can put their work in and be recognized,” she said.

Delaire Rowe is an artist involved in Celebration of the Arts. She was born in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. She has lived in Bowling Green for most of her life and was a WKU student in the 1970s. She has been

participating in Celebration of the Arts since it was located at its old location at the US Bank downtown.

“The reason why I have continued to participate in Celebration of the Arts for so many years is because I really appreciate the inclusive nature of the exhibit,” Rowe said. “In other words, even though there are awards given, everyone who submits work has their work shown, and so I like that format.”

She has recently been working with the mixed media category of the exhibit and entered paintings

and works on paper in the past.

She once won an award for a painting she submitted. This year she submitted a mixed media art piece called Tree House Fantasy.

Rowe encourages art majors and non-art majors alike to submit their work to be shown at Celebration of the Arts. Because the exhibit is inclusive, artists who create art professionally as well as people who create art as a hobby are encouraged to submit their work for the community to celebrate.

Continued from b1 seum will feature a special display of art pieces purchased from artists in the show since 2004.

Donna Parker is exhibit curator at the Kentucky Museum, and she is in charge of organizing the show.

According to Parker, the show is beneficial not only to the community because it allows local artists to display their work, but to WKU students as well.

OU (5-4) ventures into Bowling Green following a 12-6 home loss to Alabama State on Tuesday. It was a game in which starting right-handed pitcher Nick Kamrada pitched a scoreless two innings and allowed just one hit, but the Bobcats couldn’t overcome a 10-run inning by their opponent in the third.

WALKTHROUGH Continued from SPORTS

redshirt senior is in contention for her second consecutive Conference USA Player of the Year award and owns the only two triple doubles in program history. Triple Noble, as I like to call her, is undoubtedly worthy of a spot on Lady Topper Mount Rushmore.

For as many highs as the women’s team is enjoying, the other historic basketball program on the Hill is having a year full of quite the opposite.

First-year Head Coach Rick Stans-

COLLEGE HEIGHTS HERALD

The Mid-America Conference club squad is led by Nick Bredeson, who is batting .333 in the team’s nine games played so far on the 2017 campaign.

Along with that number, Bredeson has hit a triple and two doubles to go along with three RBI. On the mound for OU, Gerry Salisbury sports a 2.38 ERA and is 1-0. Salisbury has racked up 14 total strikeouts while giving up just seven hits in 11.1

innings pitched.

As for the Hilltoppers, Wyatt Featherston leads the way offensively with a .667 batting average, but just in three at bats. Featherston has recorded two RBI and has homered once in the four games he has appeared in.

On the bump for WKU, Kevin Elder sports a perfect ERA of 0.00 in four games played in. In the four appearances, Elder has recorded six strike-

outs, walked no batters and only given up three hits in 6.1 total innings.

WKU and OU will begin the series on Friday at 3 p.m. and then meet again at 1 p.m. Saturday before concluding the slate on Sunday at 1 p.m.

bury’s squad has slipped to 13-16 on the season, but even as the Tops are trending further downward with each game, their most productive player is excelling at a meteoric rate.

In nine games since Jan. 26, junior forward Justin Johnson has totaled 146 points and 102 rebounds. His averages of 16.2 points and 11.3 rebounds per game are Fant-like in nature, and he’s doing it all on an injured knee.

Justin Johnson will not go down as a WKU legend. He likely won’t crack the top ten in any major statistical categories. But, for me at least, the Hazard

native will be remembered for the high motor and pure effort he plays with every time he steps on a basketball court in a Hilltopper uniform.

As hard as it can be to watch this WKU team play at times, watch Justin Johnson play while you have the opportunity.

If you think WKU’s current crop of athletes is falling short of making an impact on a national scale, tune in to the NFL Draft Combine today. WKU will have two major representatives present.

Forrest Lamp and Taywan Taylor

will have their first official chance to impress NFL Scouts specifically for the Draft in May. Lamp is widely projected to go in the first two rounds. Taylor is also considered a lock to be selected in one of the seven rounds.

The collection of talent that has converged at WKU at the same time like it has now is rare, and it deserves your appreciation.

BY TYLER MANSFIELD HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU After suffering a 2-1 defeat in its last series at home to Jacksonville State, the WKU baseball team looked to return to the win column on Tuesday afternoon against Lipscomb at Nick Denes Field.

Despite recording nine hits on the day, the Hilltoppers (3-5) didn’t have

enough to escape with a victory over the Bison (6-2), who finished with 12 total hits and four multi-run innings to win 10-4.

Cade Sorrells went 3-of-5 on the day to go along with three RBI and a run while Josh Martinez also finished the game with a showing of 3-of-5, including two RBI’s and a run.

In its loss, WKU was led by Nathan

Methvin, who racked up three hits on four at-bats to go along with an RBI and a run of his own. On the mound for the Toppers, Caleb Bruner gave up four hits and two runs in three innings pitched.

“It was rocky at first, but after I got through the first inning it got easier, that’s for sure,” Bruner said following the game. “But my arm felt great and I’m glad to be back contributing to the

WKU looks to finish strong before postseason

BY SAM PORTER HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU The Lady Tops are just one win away from regular season title.

With just two games until postseason begins, the WKU women’s basketball team is on the brink of a potentially special March. With one win their final two road games, the Lady Tops will wrap up the regular season C-USA title and the No.1 seed in the C-USA tournament for the second time since joining the league in 2014. The only teams that stand in the way of that title are the University of North Texas and Rice University. Neither of those teams currently have more wins than losses in C-USA play.

“These are two teams that we haven’t played, but two teams that are playing very well,” Head Coach Michelle Clark-Heard said. “They’re both very athletic and play two different styles of basketball. North Texas is very quick and athletic team that gets up and down the floor.”

The Lady Tops will face off against the Mean Green tonight at 7 p.m. in the UNT Coliseum. The Mean Green’s 11-16 (8-8 C-USA) record may not come off as impressive, but those 11 wins include road victories over Arizona and Texas San-Antonio, who handed WKU one of its two C-USA losses this season.

Redshirt sophomore guard Terriell Bradley leads the Mean Green in scoring with 12.7 points per game.

Three Lady Tops currently average more points per game than Bradley.

However, North Texas’s defense has been its strength. The Mean Green defense ranks fifth in C-USA, giving up just 64.1 points per game. Tonight, that fifth ranked defense will likely face its biggest challenge in C-USA play as WKU ranks first in C-USA with 75.5 points per game.

“They do a great job of taking away the different things teams do that cause opposing defenses problems,” Clark-Heard said. “What we have to do is focus on the things that we’re supposed to do and continue the things that we’ve been doing.”

Two days after facing UNT, the

team.”

Lipscomb came out of the gates with much to display offensively, as in the top of the first inning Sorrells’ RBI single scored a pair of runners and gave it an early 2-0 lead over WKU. Kevin Lambert grounded out to the shortstop in the bottom of the fourth, but the hit scored Thomas Peter to give Lambert an RBI and helped the Tops cut their deficit to just a lone run at 2-1.

“Our team has continued to work hard, and it won’t come easy,” Head Coach John Pawlowski said. “These guys have a good mindset, the right mentality, we just haven’t been able to put it together and play our best baseball yet.”

An RBI single into right field by Steven DiPuglia plated Methvin in the same inning to even the scoreboard, but the Bison responded by scoring five combined runs in the fifth and sixth innings, respectively, to hold a 7-2 advantage. The score remained the same up until the eighth.

In that inning, Colie Currie hit an RBI double to score Peter, but Lipscomb fired back by adding a trio of runs to their scoreboard to give them a 10-3 lead. Methvin singled down the left field line in the bottom of the ninth to plate Steven Kraft, but it wouldn’t be enough, as WKU dropped its second-straight affair.

The schedule doesn’t get any easier for the Toppers, as they travel to Lexington for a matchup with Southeastern Conference foe the University of Kentucky on Wednesday before hosting Ohio University in a three-game series this upcoming weekend.

As of publication time, WKU and UK hadn’t played.

THE WALKTHROUGH

Talent on the Hill deserves attention

BY EVAN HEICHELBECH HERALD.SPORTS@WKU.EDU

Red shirt senior Kendall Noble (12) drives for the basket past Old Dominion guard Gianna Smith (5) during the Lady Topper’s 79-73 win over Old Dominion on Saturday in Diddle Arena. BRENDAN O’HERN/HERALD Lady Tops will travel to Houston where they will cap off the season against another tough defensive team. Similar to UNT, WKU has three players currently averaging more points per game than Rice’s leading scorer. However, Rice currently ranks first in C-USA in scoring defense as the Lady Owls are giving just over 60 points per game.

“They just know how to hold people defensively and know how to guard and do a lot of things,” ClarkHeard said of Rice. “It’s going to be two tough and different games for us.

I’m also just ready for us to be able to do the things we need to do to figure out where we have to be to be able to win.”

With North Texas and Rice currently sitting at eighth and ninth in C-USA, it’s likely the Lady Tops will face off against one of the two teams again in their first game in the C-USA tournament.

If the Lady Tops earn the No. 1 seed as they’re expected to, they’ll get a first-round bye along with the two, three and four seeds. If the season ended today, North Texas and Rice would play each other in the 8-9 matchup and winner would face off

against WKU in the second round.

“We’re taking it one game at a time like we always have,” Clark-Heard said.

“We’re focusing on this North Texas team. After that, we’ll focus on Rice. When the tournament hits, it hits. Whoever we have to play, we’ll play. I think we’ve been preparing our team for that all season.”

After the final two games, the Lady Tops will return to Bowling Green before traveling to Birmingham, Alabama for the Conference USA tournament. The first round begins on March 8.

“You always know what you’re playing for,” junior forward Ivy Brown said. “Right now we’re playing for a regular season championship. Throughout the games, we’re going to keep playing hard because we want that so bad. It’ll be back in of our mind. It’s important to have that number one seed to put yourself in the best position you can for the conference tournament.”

To say that WKU has good athletes is an understatement. It’s an understatement because for a relatively new Division 1 athletics program, WKU has been able to draw higher caliber athletes than most might expect.

Names like Courtney Lee and George Fant will resonate with WKU fans for a long time. And while both Lee and Fant had considerable impacts on the court during their athletic careers at WKU, there are a handful of characters on campus in 2017 that will go down as some of the most memorable athletes in their time wearing the red and white.

Athletic Director Todd Stewart hired Michelle Clark-Heard five years ago, giving her the reigns to revitalize a historically successful women’s basketball program that had lost its appeal. What has she done in those five years? Well there’s the five 20-win seasons, two conference championships, two NCAA Tournament appearances and two WNIT appearances. Oh, and ClarkHeard coached two of the program’s 38 1,000-point scorers. Other than all that, there’s really nothing to talk about.

Kendall Noble and Micah Jones – the two guards responsible for over 2,000 points in their careers and a lion’s share of the Lady Tops on-court success – have been at Clark-Heard’s disposal for the entirety of her tenure at WKU. Clark-Heard is quick to compliment her two veteran guards, calling it “bittersweet” that she won’t enter next season with the two most familiar faces to the wildly successful program she has established.

Noble is very much in the conversation to be considered one of the best to ever don a Lady Topper uniform. The
