City increases ambulance fees Costs could range an additional $50 to $200 By Alex Alusheff City Editor
Students and community members in need of an ambulance may soon face a higher cost for services. In order to alleviate costs on the fire division, city council voted to raise the rates of ambulance fees. City council approved the proposed measure Monday night, which increases service charges anywhere from an additional $50 to $200. The increase will go into effect Dec. 1. Basic Life Support calls will rise from $300 to $500. Advanced Life Support 1 calls will rise from $400 to $550, and Advanced Life Support 2 calls will rise from $550 to $600, according to the
legislation. A $50 non-transport fee will also be created for when EMTs treat patients without having to transport them to the hospital. A Basic Life Support call includes basic emergency services provided by the EMTs, such as taking vital signs and bandaging, said Fire Chief Stephen Meredith. Advanced Life Support 1 includes an escalation of BLS services with the start of IV treatment, minor medication and incubation while Advanced Life Support 2 includes heart monitoring and defibrillation, Meredith said. Most of the calls run by the fire

Reverend’s Bar and Grill owners honor fifth anniversary with $5 gift certificates By Max Filby Editor-in-Chief
Griffin Jones and his brother Garrett may serve up “heavenly food and devilish drinks,” but the only thing they’re religious about with their business is appreciation for their customers. Jones, a 2008 alumnus, opened Reverend Chico’s, which was later changed to Reverend’s bar and grill, with his brother and dad in 2007. For its fifth anniversary, Jones is offering $5 gift certificates to the first 50 customers from Monday through Friday. The gift to their customers is how Jones and Garrett chose to say thank you for continued patronage. “We just wanted to give back to them,” Jones said. “Without them, we might not be here right now.” While today marks the bar and grill’s anniversary, the business is still “evolving,” from its name to its drinks, cuisine and atmosphere. “We’re always trying to do new things,” Jones said. “Our menu is just a guide, it will never be set in stone.”
The original menu at Reverend’s consisted of Latin American cuisine and southwestern options, but the business made the switch to focus on drinks and burgers upon shortening its name. With training from a culinary institute in Vermont, Garret now helps to whip up burgers in the back, while Jones helps to make and pour drinks up front. “Some days it’s a lot of work but we balance each other out perfectly,” Garrett said. Customers such as Kellie Evans, the women’s soccer coach, agree that the hard work of the two brothers and their staff is paying off. “It’s really got a good little atmosphere but the staff is what keeps me coming back,” Evans said. In keeping with the staff that Evans has gotten to know, the bar and grill is actually named after one of its staff members. “Reverend” was part of Garrett’s college nickname and became the business’s name since he is one of the “masterminds” behind the operation,

33rd annual music event attracts new age artists, composers from around globe for performances By Christopher Brown Reporter
Composers and artists from around the world will gather to perform this week at the 33rd annual New Music Festival at the University. The New Music Festival will take place from Wednesday to Saturday at various locations on campus, including the Wolfe Center, the Moore Musical Arts Center, the School of Art and a couple of shows at Clazel, said Kurt Doles, festival director and musical arts dean at the University. “This event is always a feather in BGSU’s cap,” he said. The College of Musical Arts will present “Music and the Physical World” this year, with events that will focus on music, the written word, visual art science, nature, sustainability and the interconnectedness of things, according to the festival’s website. Featured this year will be com-
poser John Luther Adams, author Barry Lopez and artist Marina Rosenfeld, among dozens of others, Doles said. Elainie Lillios, associate professor of composition in the College of Musical Arts, said the festival is very significant for new music. New music is exactly what its title implies, meaning it has often been created by living composers in the 21st century, Lillios said. The pieces at the festival will mostly be from the past 10 years, which in classical music terms is like yesterday, said Christopher Dietz, assistant professor of composition in the College of Musical Arts. There will also be a couple of world premieres. The festival is a place where composers can showcase some new work, Lillios said. It’s like going to a car show, where someone gets

Student found dead in Falcon Heights
A student’s body was discovered in Falcon Heights Monday. Roderick Bartlett, 21, died during the weekend and his body was discovered in his room Monday afternoon, according to an email sent to the University from President Mary Ellen Mazey. Bartlett’s body was discovered by University Police after a relative contacted Falcon Heights when unable to reach Bartlett, said Dave Kielmeyer, University spokesperson. The cause of death is unknown as of now, Kielmeyer said. Bartlett, of Detroit, was a middle childhood education major in the College of Education and Human Development, as stated in the email.
Water pipe burst floods sorority house
Students living in the Chi Omega sorority house located behind the Union had to temporarily change their living arrangements after a water pipe burst Tuesday, flooding parts of the house. The pipe burst on the third floor of the sorority house, said junior Sarah Abbey, house manager. The 16 students living in the house were offered rooms in Harshman Quadrangle, Abbey said. Despite this, a majority of them opted to stay with friends off campus. No students lost any personal items because of the pipe break, Abbey said. The students expect to move back into the house sometime Friday, she said.

Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell jokes... and all is set to music. If you liked Bat Boy: The Musical, you’ll love Evil Dead! Adult language, themes, graphic comedic scenes with lots and lots and lots of blood, profanity, body parts and did we mention blood!

division are BLS and ALS 1 runs, he said. “A lot of them are alcoholrelated runs and assaults, which are sometimes a result of alcohol,” Meredith said. These fees won’t apply to everyone; people who use the service will be the ones who pay for it, said Brian Bushong, city finance director. As long as people using the service are insured, they may not have to pay the full cost for an ambulance ride. “It’s just a small piece,” Bushong said about the increase. Depending on a person’s insurance, most of the imposed costs should be covered by his or her policy, said Lori Tretter, public information officer for the Bowling Green Fire Division.
attendance. Serenity Spa will prepare for the walk by providing basic and advanced makeup for $5 and $10 with the contribution of two nonperishable food items at 4 p.m. until 8 p.m, Kill said. There will be a Zombie Hangout at Grumpy Dave’s Pub from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. as well. Kill said there will be more than 30 businesses promoting specials for zombies participating in the walk in designated “zombie quarantine zones.” Raffles and costume contests will also take place, he said. The costume contest will be from 9:30 to 11:30 p.m. and will have various prizes available based on different categories, Kill said. “We scheduled the walk to avoid the bar crowds and around trick-ortreating times,” he said. “While we welcome those who bring their kids,
this is mostly an adult activity.” In order to keep the walk from obstructing traffic or local business, walkers will be given an event schedule containing a map of the “quarantine zones” and “zombie patrol,” volunteers who will help walkers find the activities throughout the evening. According to the walk’s website, the path, or “ground zero,” where the zombies will be walking around, will end at Grumpy Dave’s Pub at midnight. Kill said there will be sponsors such as the Haunted Hydro, a haunted house attraction, at the walk as well. “We want to keep it fun and safe,” Kill said. “We don’t want to alarm anyone unintentionally.” For more Information on the zombie walk can be found at facebook. com /zombiewalkforcharity.
Students enrolled in the Student Insurance Program through United Healthcare Student Resources are responsible for paying a $175 deductible for the service, not including the final medical bill, said a representative for United Healthcare Student Resources. Even if a student or community member has fewer insurance benefits, Tretter and Meredith don’t think the rates will discourage people from calling. “If they need it, they need it,” Meredith said. The city also has a payment plan that can lower the cost of the service or incur payments throughout time, Tretter said. “It’s a sliding scale that is based on income: if you make ‘x,’ you pay ‘x,’” she said. In 2011, the fire division made 2,903 ambulance runs, 2,280 of which were Rescue and EMS runs, according to the
2011 Annual Mayor’s Report. Each ambulance run in 2011 cost the division $1,858 per run, adding up to a total of $5,394,035, Bushong said. This cost includes the cost of salaries, gas, supplies and maintenance to the ambulance. The estimated revenue from ambulance fees in 2011 was $374,408, while the estimated revenue for 2012 is $395,000, he said. This method is just one way to help balance the fire division’s budget, which is connected to the general fund, Tretter said. Despite the raised rate, the fire division still has cut back on two staff members by not refilling vacancies left from retirees, she said. While the city is not looking to alter anything else with the fire division, Tretter said the city continues to look at different strategies to balance the budget elsewhere.

National Science Foundation funds ‘citizen scientists’ University receives $7.28 million grant to aid students at Sandusky, Perkins school districts By Eric Lagatta Reporter
The University recently received a $7.28 million grant to fund a proposed project aiming to allow students in grades three through eight to take on the role of “citizen scientists.” The grant, called Inquiry and Engagement to Invigorate and Optimize Learning for Everyone with STEM, will allow the University to partner with nearby Sandusky City Schools and Perkins Local Schools to further students’ education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. IEvolve with STEM, received in September, is funded by the National Science Foundation, a federal agency that funds basic research in STEM projects. Bob Midden, an instructor in the chemistry department, serves as the project leader and principal investigator. He organized the grant proposal and is ultimately responsible for the project. Midden attributed the receipt of the grant to a number of factors, noting one factor stood out from the others. “We proposed to do something that’s never been done before,” he said. “The students are going to become participants in national and international research projects as what is called ‘citizen scientists.’” This means students

from Sandusk y and Perkins schools will be able to function as scientists without an advanced degree, he said. “Even at the third-grade level, it’s possible for people to function as scientists,” Midden said. Throughout its five-year implementation, iEvolve with STEM will start with students and teachers in grades three through five and then add students and teachers in grades six through eight as the project continues. The project, which is connected to the schools’ curriculum and focuses on environmental science, requires students use “simple and reliable” scientific methods to study their local area, Midden said. “They’ll be in a sense measuring the environmental health of their area and reporting that to an international project,” Midden said. The project’s funding will go train teachers, buy materials and pay professional scientists leading the projects, he said. Jim Gunner, Perkins Local Schools superintendent, said the projects will not only increase the students’ science and math skills, but also their language arts and social studies skills. “It’s going to integrate all four core areas,” Gunner said. The project will increase language arts skills since
students will be reading science manuals and journals, and it will integrate social studies since students will need to know the history of the area they are studying. “We see it as an extremely valuable opportunity for professional development and growth for our students and faculty,” he said. Eugene Sanders, superintendent and CEO of Sandusky City Schools, recognizes the benefits available to students involved in such a project. “I thought how neat it is to connect citizen science with the practical application of science,” he said. “That element for our students and faculty and grades three through eight ... will give us the opportunity to advance science achievement.” This gives students the opportunity to connect what they learn in the classroom to the real world, a quality Sanders said may appeal to students who may be turned off by science. The students will also be motivated by the fact that they will be benefitting their community, Midden said. “When students are learning by participating in projects that have real benefits, they find that more rewarding,” he said. “It also deepens their understanding by seeing how their work relates to the surrounding community.”
Midden said as they continue to finalize the details, the project will begin this April and they will be looking for ways to apply this elsewhere. The University is one of five schools that received a similar grant, including John Hopkins University, Georgia Tech, Alabama A&M and City University of New York. Sanders started at Sandusky City Schools in August and has been involved with the grant since. “I realized how challenging and difficult it is to secure a math and science grant,” Sanders said, emphasizing the distinct and unique quality of such a grant. Gunner said he has worked on the grant for the past year with Midden. “I was ver y pleased t hat Bob’s ha rd work on the grant paid off,” Gunner said. While the grant was awarded to the entire University, faculty and staff from the College of Education and Human Development and the College of Arts and Sciences will have the biggest role in the proposed project’s implementation. Gunner said the goal is that in the future, the project will be able to continue without grant funding. “Our anticipation is that this will become such a part of what we do that it continues beyond the grant,” he said.

Caution, awareness keep colds at bay
Recreation and Wellness offers ways to stay healthy By Geoff Burns Reporter
As the leaves and temperature start to fall, students and faculty are starting to take proper precautions and safety measures. Faith Yingling, director of wellness in the Department of Recreation and Wellness, said there are many practices that can keep people from getting sick, such as keeping up with basic hygiene, frequently washing your hands, getting eight hours of sleep each night and bundling up appropriately with the weather. “You’re out and about on campus all day,” Yingling said. “Making sure you’re properly washing your hands and sanitizing, these types of things can prevent germs.” Even though the weather is getting colder, it’s impor ta nt for people to stay hydrated and to drink plenty of f luids, Yingling said. “When you become dehydrated it lowers your immune system, so don’t think just because it’s not 90 degrees out you don’t need to stay hydrated — your body still needs to stay hydrated all year long,” she said. “The same thing goes with getting enough sleep because not getting rest also lowers your immune system, and getting sleep is hard for college students due to stress being a factor.” Fleming Fallon, distinguished teaching professor in the Department of Public and Allied Health, said how the individual takes care of their body will determine if he or she becomes sick. “If a person’s body is healthy, then they should not get sick,” Fallon said. “If they eat reasonably and get plenty of sleep then they should be OK.” All of the practices contributed in living a healthy lifestyle can serve as a way to prevent from getting sick too, Yingling said. “Making sure that you’re coughing or sneezing in your arm or elbow so you’re
not spreading those germs can serve as a great preventative action,” Yingling said. “Not sharing glasses like drinks, which people like doing at parties, and not sharing utensils are other good precautions.” Sophomore Aa ron Melnek said he gets sick at least once each year and takes preventative measures to try and not get sick. “I basically try to eat a lot of vegetables and a lot of fruit,” Melnek said. “I eat a lot of foods that are based off of either one and meat because you can get vitamins and minerals from eating these types of foods.”
“If a person’s body is healthy, then they should not get sick. If they eat reasonably and get plenty of sleep then they should be ok.” Fleming Fallon | Professor Melnek said one of the biggest practices he focused on is getting enough sleep each night. “I have a pretty healthy sleep schedule of about seven to eight hours each night,” Melnek said. “If you don’t get enough sleep, you’re going to feel pretty bad, sick or not.” Even though people should keep themselves away from most germs, there are still some germs people need, Yingling said. “We are exposed to so much every day and our bodies adapt to bacteria and germs and that’s how our body builds up immunity so we have to be exposed to a certain amount of things,” Yingling said. “I think it’s all in how people protect themselves from those things as far as becoming ill or not.” Students can now get flu shots at the Student Health Service for $25 and can also use an insurance card if available.

uphill battle but it was new and exciting.” Among all of the “characters” Jones and Garrett serve in Reverend’s, the business’s regulars are the ones who have helped to keep the place open for five years, Jones said. “They’re more than just our customers,” Jones said. “They’re the one’s who will help make sure we’ll never fade way.

JEFF KORZENIK, chief investment strategist of Fifth Third Bank, gives a presentation and offers career advise to students Tuesday in the Business Administration Building.
Strategist offers career advice By Tyler Buchanan In Focus Editor
Jeff Korzenik, chief investment strategist for Fifth Third Bank, did not sound like a stereotypical banker in a presentation to University students Tuesday night. “Stereotypes are,” as he said, “stereotypes.” The finance expert advised students to build networks and prioritize morality over profits, giving personal anecdotes alongside a multitude of charts and data in his PowerPoint presentation about the current and future state of the American economy. Korzenik was joined by numerous other Fifth Third Bank employees, many from
the Northwest Ohio branch in Toledo. While acknowledging the struggling economy of the past few years, Korzenik said that financial data supports that a recovery is taking place. “It’s finally a good time to graduate,” he said. When meeting with students, Korzenik is able to focus more on the career aspect of the industry to finance majors. “Anyone in my position has been helped along at some point,” he said. These talks, which provided opportunities for students to meet him personally afterwards, gives him an opportunity to help out others. Reputation is everything,
Korzenik explained, and it can make or break a person’s career in many cases. He also told students to give compassion to those out of work, both for networking purposes and because many in the crowd would someday be unemployed as well. “Careers are made not in the good times, but when things go wrong,” Korzenik said, citing his own experiences with companies that had gone out of business. “It never hurts to do the right thing ... always put doing the right thing ahead of money.” Following his talk, he answered questions from several students in the crowd. Senior Travis Harbauer, an accounting and finance
major, said Korzenik gave an excellent presentation. “I thought the speaker hit on a lot of points that have been in the media lately and he explained it well,” Harbauer said. Although the night focused primarily on investment banking and careers in finance, Korzenik and other speakers gave a wealth of advice for all students looking for work. Jane Marie Rahe, a wealth management advisor for Fifth Third Bank’s Toledo branch, said having a sales job at a place like Best Buy would benefit students. “You don’t have to be a bang-up salesperson,” she said, “but it’s important to have sales experience.”
Group reaches out to LGBT women
Women Who Love Women provides safe environment, encouragement for students By Danae King Campus Editor
Women Who Love Women is an organization on campus that covers women’s and lesbian issues but offers community for everyone who attends. The organization’s mission is to “offer a safe and encouraging environment for selfidentified women who love women and allies to be their authentic selves.” Secretary and Historian Liz Grabski broke down the organization’s purpose even more. “It’s just to reach out and find people who need [help],” Grabski, a sophomore, said. “Just touching people in a way that they can feel more comfortable.” The group meets every Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in Olscamp 120, where members discuss issues chosen by the executive board.
Grabski said this approach allows for interaction, discussion and activities. The organization has discussed topics such as coming out and queer women they admire, she said. “It’s like a fun, more intimate environment,” Grabski said. “A safe space to be yourself and hang out with people like you.” The group isn’t only for women who love women. Allies and others are also welcome, said Maddison Prether, WWLW president. “Anyone is welcome as long as you are there to be safe and respectful,” Prether said. Grabski said the group is open to anyone who is curious about the topics. “We love it when allies do come,” she said. The atmosphere of the meetings are very open, safe, free flowing and honest, Prether said.
The organization has been around for three years and was founded by a core group of students, said Megan MacDonald, the group’s faculty adviser and an Ethnic Studies instructor. “[The members] are constantly learning from each other because all of these women come from a different place,” she said. “They get support from one another, education about community based issues, they get camaraderie.” Prether likes the group because of the people in it. “I think everyone comes there with a completely different story and want from the group and it helps build on the outcome,” she said. “You always have the opportunity to say something and to have a good time.” Grabski said she likes being in the group because it gives her the opportunity to be

someone people can come to if they want to ask questions or need someone to talk to. “Just because I came here and I was out already, I can help people who haven’t had that experience yet,” she said. For Grabski, WWLW is a place where she can be like an authority figure while still being herself and being goofy. “I still have people look up to me,” she said. “I’ve made a lot of friends.” Prether said the group wants to be there so that no one feels alone on campus. This year, the group has welcomed a surge of freshmen members. Grabski said it hopes to reach at least one of them. “If we get one freshman who didn’t feel comfortable coming out and by the end of the year comes out to her parents, I think we’d be happy,” she said.

CAM WOJTALA, BG center, races Union College defenseman Greg Coburn for the puck during the Falcons’ 5-3 loss to the No. 10 ranked Dutchmen at the BGSU Ice Arena on Friday night. Wojtala was held pointless in the game and won 12 of his 23 faceoff attempts.
Notes: Falcon hockey looking to improve special teams play By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
Special teams were the Achilles heel for the BG hockey team this past weekend against Union College. While the Falcons went a respectable 2-for-10 on the power play in the two games, untimely penalties ultimately were their undoing. Union scored five power play goals during the two games set, including a perfect three-for-three showing in Friday’s game. Those totals aren’t including the two shorthanded goals the Dutchmen scored in the third period of Friday’s game. Coach Chris Bergeron wasn’t upset with the volume of penalties taken. The three penalties BG took in Friday’s game were lower than the 4.6 penalties it took per game last season. “If you say we’re going to take three penalties against Union on Friday, I would’ve taken it,” he said. “It was more so our execution on the penalties we took. You can’t ask these kids to play as hard as we want them to and not expect them to take a penalty.” Rather, he was disappointed in the execution of the penalty kill. “Union’s power play is awesome, so you can’t give them second and third opportunities,” Bergeron said. “We had the puck on our stick on three of those [goals], and we weren’t able to get the puck out [of the zone]. When you give a power play like that opportunities, they’re going to score. We would fight for pucks, and we would win pucks, and then not get them out because we turn off for a second.” Bergeron said the struggles this team has had early in the season have been more mental than physical. He said it’s much too early in the season for the team to be at a panic mode, but added that things need to change quickly. “We want to make sure that we don’t need to learn the same lessons that we’ve already learned before again this year,” Bergeron said. “I
don’t want to get to the holiday break and have guys go home and reflect and say, ‘I don’t want this anymore.’ What we’re saying is, ‘let’s put a stop to this right now,’ and remember what we’ve been through; remember the lessons we’ve learned.” Putting a stop to that starts in practice. Bergeron conceded that the team did not have good practices in the middle of last week leading up to the Union series, which might have led to some of the lack of execution. However, the team believes that they are on the right track so far this week. “We had a good practice today, pucks weren’t jumping off our sticks and everything was pretty fluid,” said defenseman Bobby Shea. “If we make our plays I think we can beat Colgate [this weekend].”
Leadership In past years, Bergeron said the team at times lacked leadership. With the team starting 0-2-1, he said the team does not have a lack of leadership, but rather the team is going through “leadership development.” “We’re helping these young guys understand that you can’t always look at the
“I have to be the guy to set that example on the ice so that everybody tries to do what I do.”

GORDON From Page 4 of “pink products” on the market has prompted organization Breast Cancer Action to create an informative website called “Think Before You Pink” to teach consumers about the hidden dangers that come with certain corporations pushing pink products, or what they call “pinkwashing.” According to the website, the pink ribbon symbol is not owned by anyone, so any company can slap one on a product, making the consumer think they are
SCOTT From Page 4 help you slim down by curbing your appetite and replacing excessive amounts of fat and sugar in your life. An important thing you can do to lose weight is eat breakfast. Eating breakfast jumpstarts your metabolism and gets your body going at the beginning of the day. If you skip this meal, your metabolic rate will not be as efficient as it could be. Another way to keep from overeating is to learn the difference between when you’re hungry and when you’re dehydrated. Dehydration causes your body to crave liquid. Since most food we eat has liquid properties, you might take this hankering for water as a desire for food. However, this is not the
donating to breast cancer research, even if sales from the product do not, in fact, donate to the cause. Other companies may have a set cap on the amount of donations it will give, no matter how many of their pink ribbon products are sold. When the maximum amount has been raised, they will continue to sell the product, gaining profits. And, possibly most alarming, is the reality that many companies sell “pink products” that are actually linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. The site describes as an example a perfume from
Susan G. Komen for the Cure called Promise Me that contained “unlisted chemicals that are regulated as toxic and hazardous, have not been adequately evaluated for human safety, and have demonstrated negative health effects.” This product should never have hit the shelves. I urge any consumer to do a bit of research before buying a “pink product.” Find out what organization your money is going to, how much of it will be donated to them instead of profiting the seller and see if the seller is actually doing more harm than good.
case. Learning the difference between a need for water and a need for food will save you quite a few calories. Personally, I make sure I stay hydrated constantly. In order to do this, I looked up online how much water I’m supposed to drink (at least 64 fluid ounces a day) and I drink at least that much. If I do a lot of strenuous activities, though, I drink more to balance out the water I lost. It is advised you do workout a little bit. If you don’t do anything at all, then there is a chance you can become unhappy with your life. Your life satisfaction will dwindle if you sit around all the time and do nothing. Exercise really does make you happy, so it really isn’t that much to go on a walk or do sit-ups every other night. Light exercises will aid you in maintaining a good physique, too. One of my favorite light-
weight activities is hula hooping. It’s extremely convenient and makes multitasking a simple feat. I can read, listen to music, watch TV and even have a nice chat while I’m working out. There is no panting or sweating involved; thus, you don’t even feel like you’re truly working out. Simply put, losing weight isn’t impossible; it merely requires determination and patience. If you set your mind to it, you can lose weight and also maintain a healthy weight through minor tweaks in your life. Small changes can create a huge impact. If I can do it, so can you. You just have to find what works for yourself and run with it. Good luck!
Also, Google the product and see what kind of work the organization is actually doing for people with breast cancer. Whatever you do, don’t blindly buy. Make sure your money is going to a good cause. Buying pink products made by actual breast cancer survivors and making a direct donation to a charity of your choice are also good ideas.

Arnold leads the way for BG with a two-round score of 152 at The Preview By Clay Leser Reporter
The BG women’s golf team concluded the first half of its season with a second-place finish at The Preview on Tuesday, completing one of the best fall seasons the in the history of the program. Fellow Mid-American Conference member Ball State won the tournament with a 36-hole score of 621, three shots ahead of the Falcons. Eastern Michigan (625) finished third, followed by Toledo (627) and Akron (634). Other MAC schools included Western Michigan (636) in seventh, Northern Illinois (648) in 10th and Ohio (652) in 11th. A total of 15 teams competed in the two-day event, hosted by Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio. The Falcons entered the final round one shot behind
HOCKEY From Page 6 coaches for a, ‘tell us what to do coach, give us a reason this is happening,’ because there may not be a reason,” he said. “Sometimes the guys in the lineup have to say, ‘this isn’t going to happen, and I’m going to lead the way.’” Bergeron also pointed out the youth of the team’s cocaptains and that they’re still learning things about being leaders. “You can’t teach those kids to be seniors,” he said. “It’s an opportunity, and that’s what I’m looking at it as.”

Akron and tied with Ball State. On Tuesday the Falcons carded a 309 to surpass Akron’s 320, but Ball State shot the lowest round of the tournament (tied with Toledo), finishing with a 306 on day two. BG’s 309 was the fourth-lowest round of the fall season. The second-place finish snaps BG’s win streak at two straight tournaments. The Falcons entered this week’s action with back-to-back wins at the Cleveland State Invitational and Butler Fall Invite. Bailey Arnold finished two shots off medalist honors, shooting a 152 (77-75), to finish tied for third among the 82-player field. In five tournaments this fall, Arnold has finished in the top six in four of them. Freshman Lily Bartell finished tied for 13th with a score of 157 (78-79). It is her second best tournament score of her
young career. Shelby Wilson was most improved in the second round. After opening with an 84, she carded a 76 in round two. The sophomore ended the tournament tied for 25th with a score of 160. Patricia Holt, the reigning BGSU Pizza Hut Female Student-Athlete of the Week, matched Wilson’s total. The sophomore finished the tournament with a 160 (78-82). Rounding out the Falcons’ lineup was senior Amy Ruthenberg, who tied for 32nd with a score of 161 (82-79). BG ended the fall season with a team scoring average of 310.3. The current school record for lowest team scoring average is 318.57, established last season. All of the MAC schools in this tournament, along with Kent State, will compete in the MAC Championships on this same course on April 26-28.
One of the players who has stepped into a leadership role is Shea, who is the most experienced member of the defense. “I’ve been there, so I have to set the example out there every day,” he said. “I have to be the guy to set that example on the ice so that everybody tries to do what I do.”
Ryan Carpenter and Cam Wojtala center the team’s top two scoring lines, meaning those two receive the majority of offensive zone faceoff chances, where gaining puck possession is vital. Collectively, those two have struggled on faceoffs, combining to go 57-70 through BG’s first three games. “We put a lot of emphasis on faceoffs … they’re one of those things that you can take ownership of and get better at,” Bergeron said. “I know both Ryan and Cam want to be better and they’re both taking ownership of that. They’re watching tape, they’re practicing … but it’s a concern, no doubt about it.”
Faceoff The Falcons’ performance in the faceoff circle has been of concern to the coaching staff so far this season. With the exception of Andrew Wallace, who has won 38 of 53 faceoffs this season, the Falcons are below .500 as a team in the circle.
