THOUGHTS Wicks looks to capture seat in Ohio General Assembly By Alex Alusheff City Editor
Grounds For Thought Owner Kelly Wicks decided it was time to stir things up in Columbus by running for a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives. “I decided it was time to step in and do something different in Columbus,” Wicks said. “If you follow politics, they have a way of thinking they speak for small business owners, but as one, I feel I’m being scapegoated for policies that affect big business, not small business.” Wicks, the democratic candidate, is running against Republican and Wood County Commissioner Tim Brown and Nathan Eberly, the Libertarian candidate. Wicks, 46, decided to run last November after he had the opportunity to travel to Columbus and oppose Senate Bill 5 through marches a few times earlier in the year. Senate Bill 5 reduces collective bargaining rights for all public workers, according to a Nov. 2, 2011 article in The BG News. “My sister is a nurse and my friend is a teacher who has been laid off because of budget cuts,” Wicks said. The call-to-action Wicks felt along with the economic stability of Grounds For Thought, present-

Music festival hosts variety of artists 33rd annual event features theme “Music and the Physical World” By Zach Knapp Reporter
Where music starts and nature begins was the big question that John Luther Adams, the featured guest composer, was addressing at the 33rd annual Bowling Green New Music Festival: Music and the Physical World. Kurt Doles, festival director and musical arts dean at the University, said the festival, presented by The Mid-American Center for Contemporary Music, featured contemporary music and lectures by guest composers, artists and writers, centered on the theme of “Music and the Physical World.” Highlights of the festival included performances and lectures by the three featured guests: Adams, Marina Rosenfeld, artists, and Barry Lopez, author, Doles said. Along with the feature guests, other guests made up the festivals. “We were very pleased to get the guests that we did,” Doles said. “This is the first year we were able to get a composer, artist and writer—and the first year we were able to get a writer.” The diverse group of featured guests was important to Adams, who helped organize the event with Doles and suggested the theme around the “Music and the Physical World”. “We are all kind of doing the same thing in different forms of media,” Adams said. “We are just trying to share our gift to a troubled world.” The theme for this year’s festival was intended to be very broad in order to make for a unique festival experience. Adams’ music has been influenced by his connection with nature and its sounds. It has been performed in the Anza-Borrego desert, the New England woods and the tundra of the Alaskan Range, Adams said. The University Lawn was scheduled to be the next outdoor venue for Adams’ experimental music undertaking, with a performance of his piece “Inuksuit” on Friday. Whether the music students hear is the planned, the eccentric beat of drums or the melody of birds chirping in the background, the unpredictable influence of nature is what the piece is all about, Adams said. “The music is a vehicle for hearing and reconnecting with where we are at the time,” Adams said. “The piece is intentionally porous, so you do not know where the piece begins and where it ends, what is music of the place or piece.” However, due to inclement weather, the performance

Event kicks off historical center’s Halloween tradition By Amber Petkosek Reporter
The Wood County Historical Center and Museum will host its second Folklore Friday of the year at the Infirmary tours this Friday. The Museum has been hosting the tours for more than 10 years. The museum is located at 13660 County Home Road in Bowling Green. David Gill, a volunteer at the Wood County Historical Center and Museum, said when the tours first started, they were part of its Halloween Folklore and Fun Fest.
The tours became so popular the museum decided to extend them into the Folklore Fridays at the infirmar y about five years ago. The 90-minute guided tours take place Oct. 19 and 26, with tours beginning at 7 p.m., 8 p.m. and 9 p.m. Gill has been volunteering for the museum for several years and has found that visitors are very curious about the tours of the paranormal. “People love asking about the paranormal,” Gill said. “It’s the

big mystery of life. People want to know about the afterlife.” The tour consists of five stops. Each stop has a “story stop” volunteer who tells the history of the building and the ghost stories from volunteers at the museum. Each story stop has a covered shelter for visitors and the museum provides snacks and drinks part way through the tour. The five stops are the infirmary, the log cabin, the pestilence “pest” house, the asylum and the pauper’s cemetery. Each stop includes different aspects to bring the stories to life. The tour begins in the main infirmary building: visitors walk through some of the old infirmary building and hear stories of the former residents. The stop at the log cabin includes two actors dressed in traditional clothing from the 1800’s, telling stories about the War of 1812. The pestilence house stories were told about the sicknesses of the time, while the asylum gives a history of treatment of mental illness. Paup er ’s c eme t er y offers a spook y setting for the final stor y stop.
More ghost stories with long-time museum volunteer Dick Gill conclude the tour. “There are at least 355 people buried here,” Dick said. “Most of them did not have a happy ending to their lives.” Gill told stories of ghost sightings on the property. Some stories included visitors, but most stories were from workers and volunteers of the museum. “We’ve lost more volunteers because of ghost sightings than any other reason,” Gill said. Some volunteers at the museum say they hear a lot of good things about the tours, Dick said. “People’s opinions seem pretty favorable,” Dick said. “People enjoy it and we try to make it fun and informative.” Some visitors to the Wood County Historical Center and Museum are already considering a trip back to the museum for next year’s folklore tours. “It’s very creepy, and very cool,” said Kelly Lane a visitor to the museum from Adrian, Michigan. “I think I’ll be back next year.” The tours are $10 per person or $8 for Historical Society members and students with a college ID. To attend one of the tours, reservations must be made by calling the Wood County Historical Center and Museum at (419) 352-0967.

Broadcast alumna finds success in perserverence By Alissa Widman Senior Reporter
A recent University graduate, who now appears on a TV station reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers, credits her success to being a pest. But before she landed the job, University alumna, Maia Belay, 23, found herself in a depressing position many college graduates experience. “I foolishly didn’t apply for jobs after graduation,” said Belay, a 2011 broadcast journalism major. “I was discouraged. I cried a lot that summer.” Her bedroom served as a job application assembly line, where she compiled more than 100 copies of her resume, references, cover letters and demo newscast footage. She would take the materials to the nearby post office daily, where friendly employees greeted her by name. Although Belay’s applications spanned the country, she didn’t need to travel too far to land her first gig in Toledo as a weekend assignment editor and web producer at WTOL and Fox Toledo. In less than a year’s time, she transitioned from a behindthe-scenes assistant to an onair personality. “I just kept trying my hardest to get better every day,” she said. “Anytime there was a job opening for a reporter, I was always talking to my news director.
MUSIC From Page 1 had to be moved to Kobacker Hall, Doles said. Prior to the performance, Roger Schupp, professor of percussion and project coordinator for the piece said the University will try to host the festival outdoors this spring. “Our students and other guests, who traveled here to perform, put a lot of work into the performance. Obviously we wanted to do it outside, but it is better to do it in a place that may not be ideal, than to not do it at all,” said Schupp. Schupp set the tone for the performance in his introduction to the audience. “This is not a piece where you will be sitting down in your chairs,” Schupp said. “I want you to move around, lie on the floor and sit on the stage during the performance ... You are an interval part of this performance.” The audience followed suit. As the performance slowly built momentum, progressing from the atmospheric sound of conch shells, to the clanking of rocks and, finally, the thunder of percussions, the audience spread around the hall. Performers and audience members were behind the stage, up in the balcony, and amid the medley was Adams, quietly sitting with his eyes closed.

Maia Belay
Looking back, I was probably a pest, but I knew that was what I wanted to do.” Today, Belay covers news in Hancock County, including corresponding from Findlay, about 26 miles south of Bowling Green. Impressed with her skills, channel executives promoted her to an editor who also takes photographs for weekend assignments. “I just feel so lucky, so blessed,” Belay said. “I feel so young to be called a ‘success story,’ but I already have a job in my field, so that’s success, right?” Participating in both on- and off-campus organizations and internships provided Belay the vital experience necessary to land a professional job. Among her roles while a student: resident adviser, WBGU reporter, BG24 News director and National Association of Black Journalists President. In addition to interning at WTOL during summer 2010, Belay also interned at a large market TV station in her hometown of Detroit. “We always tell our students ‘those who get hired the fastest have extensive student-
media experience,’” said Kathy Bradshaw, chair of the Department of Journalism and Public Relations. “Maia took advantage of every opportunity here. She experimented and took risks to learn, and when she did, she learned quickly.” Belay’s peers also noticed her motivated work ethic. “She was always trying to get better and I admire her dedication,” said senior Kaila Johnson, a broadcast journalism major who served as Belay’s vice president in the National Association of Black Journalists. “It’s inspirational to see someone make it that you worked closely with. It makes you feel anything is possible.” In retrospect, Belay contemplates whether she could have done even more. “I wish I would have done a third internship for more experience — something even bigger,” she said. “I can’t stress how important it is to get that hands-on experience, because that’s how you make connections and get jobs.” Her advice to current students and recent graduates: apply early and often, stay persistent and seize as many internship opportunities as possible. “Never give up on yourself, especially when you face rejection,” Belay said. “The only time you’ve lost completely is when you stop believing in yourself.”
“I try not to think in that moment,” Adams said. “I am just trying to listen. Our heads are always full of thoughts. The music is reminding us to pay attention to where we are, and remembering we are part of a bigger world.” The message that Adams and other guests presented was very moving, junior Christine Wehr, jazz studies, said. Wehr attended the performances of guest composer Meira Warshauer’s “Ocean Calling 1: Waves and Currents” and “Inuksuit” at the festival. “The whole festival is enlightening and inspiring. [Ocean Calling 1: Waves and Currents] was a good mix of classical pieces, like Charles Ives and totally new and original com-
positions. It added dimensions to my thoughts about the Ocean and what it really is. ” The collaborative effort between the students, faculty and festival guests to take a broad theme and make it a reality is what set the festival apart from other similar festivals put on by other universities, said Doles. “Some people will put on a festival and call it a university festival, but a majority of the performances are by faculty and guest performances,” Doles said. “The students are left out. At our festival, the students put in a lot of time and effort. They are the majority of my performers and volunteers. It would not happen without them.”

ed the opportunity for him to run for office. Standing up for small business through effective policies, fighting for more funding for education and access to higher education are some of Wicks’s main platforms. Wicks, who has been a Bowling Green resident since he was 4 as well as a University student, is familiar with the problems students face such as higher tuition costs and lower state funding. “Students need a representative who understands what they deal with on a daily basis,” he said. Understanding students is something Wicks is no stranger to. “Working the counter for 20 years, he commu n icates w it h st udents ever y day and also employs t hem,” sa id Sam Melendez, Wicks’s campaign manager. Grounds For Thought is a hangout and study spot for students, giving Wicks an ear for what students care about, said Mike Zickar, chair of the Wood County Democrats. With a son nearing college, Wicks will go through the process of having to pay for tuition, which is what we want all politicians to go through, Zickar said. As a small business owner, Wicks is very down to earth, personable and treats students with the same care as other voters, said Colleen Ryan, president of College Democrats. From a student perspective, Ryan said Wicks is a good candidate because, as a former University student, he understands solu-
tions to making college affordable. As a University student in the mid 80s, Wicks said the University was subsidized by the government at 75 percent and now has dropped below 25 percent. “I don’t feel that’s a wise investment,” he said. “We need to invest in young people: It’s a wise and cheap investment that will yield tremendous dividends in job creating and makes the community a better place.” Making the community a better place also starts with being friendly to small business, Wicks said. “Businesses look for strong schools, a good infrastructure and a vibrant downtown, which come from small business owners,” Wicks said. While Wicks has no previous experience in politics, he is an invested member of the community. Aside from running Grounds For Thought, Wicks is the cofounder and musical director of the Black Swamp Arts Festival and served as the president of the downtown business association while he has also help fund and start the downtown farmer’s market, renovate Radio Park and underwrite the University’s radio program. Aside from his business and politics, music is also a passion of Wicks which led to his involvement in the Black Swamp and the radio program. Wicks said he grew up with music from browsing in Finders Records, being a disc jockey at WBGU and arranging the performances at the festival. “It’s not just my involvement with music, but as a producer
and promoter,” he said. “I get to listen to music and share new groups through Black Swamp and the shop itself is an outlet of creativity with the concerts it hosts.” While Grounds For Thought hosts creative outlets for the community, Wicks said it also tries to give back through volunteer opportunities and donations. Wicks’s family opened Grounds For Thought in 1989, getting the idea from encountering other small coffee shops at vacation spots throughout the years, he said. Wicks later bought the business from his family with his wife Laura in 1991 and aimed to contribute to the community. “We are fortunate to be successful and people have supported Grounds for a long time, but without their support, none of it would have been possible so we try to give back in as many ways as possible,” Wicks said. Wicks’s business background may be his strong point. “He knows what it takes, not in just the political sense, which gives him the best sense of compass,” Zickar said. “He’s a fresh face in politics and knows what it means to navigate legislation, pay the bills and motivate people.” Wicks’s managerial skills may also come in handy when dealing with a bipartisan House. “As a small business owner, success comes from getting different people to work together and that’s a skill I have,” he said. “Columbus needs fresh ideas and I’ll be able to do that as a business owner, not just a politician,” he said.

Then I read something in the news that really shocked and saddened me: some sick individual took chalk and wrote “white power” and also drew a swastika

on BGSU’s basketball coach Louis Orr’s driveway. Since I really don’t know the facts, initially I chalked it up to a group of students with a sick sense of humor, but this incident has really made me reflect on things I’ve seen on campus over the years as far as graffiti goes. Especially infamous is the Olscamp men’s bathrooms where racist emblems and slogans are tragically common. Of course, bathroom graffiti
of any kind is quite common, but it begs the question: Is the drawing of racist symbols in a bathroom any less despicable than the drawing of racist symbols on a coach’s driveway? The answer is no. This made me realize the folly of my own way of thinking; that it’s just something that will always be. Our society prides itself on political correctness and politesse, and yet, things like this happen
again and again and again. Do we think ourselves so enlightened that we are impervious to ignorance? This is a dangerous notion. I urge the University community and the City of Bowling Green to think about what this says about our community, and our nation as a whole.

Haters will hate, winners will keep winning PHILLIP MARTIN COLUMNIST Quite frankly, as LeBron James put it while interviewed during the Larry O’Brien Trophy presentation on his home court, “It’s about damn time.” The NBA finally crowned King James in this past season’s Finals in June, but the King’s enemies still grind their teeth in disgust. Although some fans and commentators were happy seeing James finally boast about winning his first title, his haters will remain hating. The bitterness of “The Decision” still stings in the hearts of James’ haters. I shake my head as I see these haters’ foolishness. I remember that fateful night of July 8, 2010, as I stayed in a Findlay hotel. I had summer orientation at the

University the following day. No rational-minded person could honestly say they felt the outcome would be good as the spectacle neared. This may seem blasphemous to some, but I still say James had every right to make his “decision” to join the Miami Heat. Notice I didn’t say he was right to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers the way he did. But, no one should be upset with his free, entitled choice. James is just an outspoken superstar who was a little immature at the time. Most haters overlook the fact that some good did come out of James’ program that night. Vain or not, he donated money to the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, Conn. I’ll also never understand the burning of jerseys. No need to burn a future collectable. Most appalling, I will never understand the words of disrespect and disgust from James’ biggest haters.
I can understand words of frustration, but not words that over-embellish or even defame James’ attitude towards the Cavs. He entertained the idea of possibly returning to the Cavs once his tenure with the Heat ends. And doggone if those same fans who hate him now wouldn’t take him back with open arms! His haters will continue to hate until that day comes. I, for one, am proud to say I am happy to see James finally win his first NBA title. He pleasantly surprised me this past postseason. I figured the Heat would return to the Finals and James would flat-line in the moment once again. I was prepared to see him come short and see him wither away in the fourth quarter as he did in the 2011 Finals against the Dallas Mavericks. Yet, James literally bore his head down to defy my
expectations. The aggressiveness he displayed in the paint towards the rim was very reminiscent to his Game Seven of the 2007 Eastern Conference Finals. He and his Cavs defeated the Detroit Pistons en route to their first berth in the NBA Finals. That game was the last time I had ever seen James attack the rim with such ferociousness prior to this past postseason. How about this? With the exception of the New York Knicks, James defied a lot of people’s expectations. He and the Heat fought back, down at least a game, in the following three series against the Indiana Pacers, Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder. I give you this: There may have been a different defending NBA champion this year

Free market needs Research facts, women deserve a choice more regulation PHIL SCHURRER FACULTY COLUMNIST
How about a rousing cheer for free markets? No? That’s understandable, considering the amount of confusion about the nature, advantages and limitations of free markets. Some of the ignorance is excusable; some, however, is the result of deliberate misstatements by those who oppose the very notion of economic self-determination, with its focus on the individual. A free market economy is one whose prices are set by supply and demand rather than by edict. Some professional economists may quibble with the details, but it’s a workable definition. Some confuse “free markets� with “capitalism.� The latter term describes a system of private ownership of property and the production of goods and services for a profit. The two are often considered synonymous, but, in fact, are distinct. For prices to be freely set by supply and demand, an “armslength� exchange must exist. Both buyer and seller must be free to engage, or not engage, in an economic transaction and both must be knowledgeable about all the relevant facts. Thus, a free market transaction employs some of the highest faculties a human being possesses: intelligence and free will. A free market has the potential of allowing humans to exercise some of their most ennobling traits. The two biggest advantages of a free market is its ability to most efficiently allocate scarce resources as well as the tendency for prices to decrease and the quality and volume of goods and services to increase. This is due to the free market’s pricing mechanism being influenced by millions of buyers and sellers, rather than by the dictates of government or a monopoly. Any entity having a monopoly on the supply of a good or service and, therefore, of its price, can potentially disrupt the market
pricing mechanism. Examples are banks “too big to fail� and labor unions. Most of us would rather trust our own wisdom and instincts. No one person, company, government or small group of people or firm is so intelligent as to discern our individual wants and needs as well as we can. The free market is largely impersonal and does not operate with any pretense of altruism. As Adam Smith wrote in the “Wealth of Nations,� “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest.� Any economic system has “winners� and “losers.� Not all will succeed, because it’s beyond the capability of a free market to care for the weakest in our society, that task falls to individuals and institutions. The remarkable, yet overlooked, fact is that free markets produce the greatest prosperity that enables people to better care for the less fortunate more effectively than under any other economic system. The free market does not control greed. Indeed, greed itself is the driving force behind profits. But excessive, unregulated greed can be the undoing of free market and, by extension, a free society. It is the responsibility of government to regulate greed. If government fails in this area, events such as the recent housing bubble can occur, which has contributed to the current Great Recession. People were induced to purchase property and sign mortgages for which they were manifestly unqualified. There was no “arms length� transaction. If the government overreaches its regulatory function and attempts to impose its judgment in place of the free market, failures, such as Solyndra, occur. The free market is similar to fire: a good friend, but a bad master. It needs to be encouraged and strengthened – and regulated. The abiding question is: How much?

As I opened up a copy of the paper last Monday, an advertisement greeted me with a question: “Do you have an open mind?� Generally thinking that I do, I opened the text to find some close-minded people. While I’ll not be questioning why this “Anti-Choice propaganda� was distributed, I will be refuting some of the misinformation, false content and blatant lies “Anti-Choicers� promote as truths. One of the primary facets this document explores is the effect an abortion has on a woman who undergoes one, suggesting devastating results on the person’s psyche. An analysis of studies exploring the relationship between abortion and longterm mental health outcomes, completed by the Department of Population, Family and Reproductive Health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, found that well executed studies showed no difference between the mental health of women who had abortions and those who did not, whereas poorly completed studies did. Furthermore, a 2011 report from the Guttmacher Institute

states, “The highest-quality scientific evidence available has led to the conclusion that abortion does not cause mental health problems for most women.� The study goes on to explain the most commonly reported feeling after an abortion is “relief� and that “evidence [suggests] that stigma around abortion, rather than the abortion itself, can have negative mental health consequences.� Therefore, I think it’s fair to say documents such as the one distributed by the Human Life Alliance are based off of poorly conducted studies and have a greater negative effect upon a woman’s mental health than an actual abortion would. The Anti-Choice manuscripts also declare abortions are dangerous to the physical health of the mother, yet a 2012 study in The Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology finds that the risk of death in natural childbirth is 14 times higher than with an abortion. The piece makes a horrifically incorrect analysis of birth control, propagating that it can cause abortions, but science tells us one of the most effective ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies and, by extension, abortions are contraceptives. A study at Washington University in St. Louis found that when contraceptives are provided, rates of unintended pregnancies drop dramati-
cally, effectively preventing one abortion for every 79 to 137 women. These findings are being described as “an amazing improvementâ€? by the President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In addition to these findings, a New York Times article reports that emergency contraception is not abortifacient. The Times states, “studies have not established that emergency contraceptive pills prevent fertilized eggs from implanting in the womb. The article explains that suggesting pills like Plan-B or Ella (both falsely labeled in the ad) are abortifacient “is probably rooted in outdated or incorrect scientific guesses about how the pills work.â€? The advertisement says a lot about the type of woman who has an abortion, specifically drawing a conspiracy theory about the systematic ethnocide of marginalized women at the hands of eugenicist doctors. As laughable as that notion is, apparently it is necessary to disprove. The conclusion of a 2008 study regarding the characteristics of abortion patients in the United States carried out by the Guttmacher Institute found, â€œâ€Śincreased restrictions on abortion services would disproportionately affect poor and low-income women, black and Hispanic women, and young adults,â€?
and suggests, “ ‌ increasing access to a broad array of reproductive health services, including abortion. Groups overrepresented among abortion patients also have aboveaverage rates of contraceptive failure and unintended birth. Increased public funding to expand access to contraceptive services‌could help reduce levels of unintended pregnancy and improve the lives of many women.â€? Regardless of your views on this issue, I think it’s easy to see that women are not incubators to be expected to carry to term and dedicate their lives to a child of an unintended pregnancy. bell hooks explains, “If women do not have the right to choose what happens to [their] bodies [they] risk relinquishing rights in all other areas of [their] lives.â€? Propaganda like this that is rooted in extremist ideals intending to impose a very narrow view onto women controlling their bodies and lives. Using pseudo-science and cognitive dissonance the Pro-Life/Anti-Choice movement backs up their claims with confirmation bias. A quick overview of the science tells us they’re wrong. Morality informs us a woman’s body is her own; women have the right to choose.
San Antonio Spurs if OKC had come short in the West. Nevertheless, beginning this season, I now expect more consistency from James and the Heat in the long run, especially now that they’ve added recognized veterans to their bench this off season. It’s hard to say who could
be James’ biggest threat to a repeat, three-peat or (dare I say) a seven-peat because of the post season moves by the Association’s other 29 teams. But, I feel like James will win at least another championship until he finally hangs up his jersey forever. He may not win that sec-
ond with the Heat. He may not win one for the Cavs. In the end, I feel like at least the animosity of his haters will eventually fade away. I’m crossing my fingers.

THOSE GUYS WERE

” UNBELIEVABLE. Falcons score on offense, defense and special teams to defeat UMass 24-0 By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor
Paul Revere wouldn’t be happy if a visiting team came into Massachusetts and raided them for everything they had. Bowling Green traveled to Massachusetts Saturday and took all the spoils in a shutout win 24-0 for UMass’ homecoming game. The defense stole the show for the Falcons in front of 10,846 away fans, as they put up their first shutout since 2004 when the Falcons shutout Western Michigan 52-0 and the first on the road since 2001 at Ohio 17-0. Despite the score-line and the shutout, the offense struggled. The offense only managed 282 yards with 94 of those in the rush game, but it was enough to move running back Anthon Samuel into a tie for 18th place in all-time school history. Samuel, a sophomore, didn’t have a touchdown in the game, but quarterback Matt Schilz had two. Schilz completed touchdown passes of 16-yards to receiver Shaun Joplin and 2-yards to tight end Alex Bayer all without an interception. The Falcons took advantage of the Minutemen’s penalties. In the third quarter, only up by a touchdown, Massachusetts contributed two-straight pass interference calls, which resulted in Bayer’s touchdown reception. The flags were flying for the Falcons, too. BG had 15 penalties, resulting in 130 yards lost. “I’m really disappointed in all the penalties and that our offense got off to a really slow start in the first half and never really got into a rhythm,” Head Coach Dave Clawson said. “We certainly did not play as well up front on offense as we have the past three weeks.”

Hockey splits with Colgate, loses goalie By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
The BG hockey team picked up its first win of the season this past weekend against Colgate, but in the process, sustained a huge loss. The Falcons won Friday’s game 3-1, but lost 4-2 on Saturday. However, the team lost junior goaltender Andrew Hammond, who had started the team’s previous 55 games in net, 29 seconds into the first period of Friday’s game with an apparent elbow injury. Hammond will be re-evaluated this week to determine the extent of the injury. It is not yet known if he will be available to play this weekend against Ohio State. Freshman Tommy Burke relieved him Friday, picking up his first collegiate win by stopping 24 of 25 shots. “My coaches have confidence in me and my teammates have confidence in me. I got a few long shots early to get into the game and our defense played real well and everyone played well defensively; I didn’t have too many
SPORTS BRIEF
Men’s soccer ties Northern Illinois 0-0
The BG men’s soccer team tied the Northern Illinois Huskies this weekend, 0-0. The game went into double overtime, but neither team could manage to score a goal. Junior goalkeeper Michael Wiest collected eight saves during the match and earned his eighth shutout of his career.
offensive chances [against me],” Burke said. The Falcons responded well to get Burke a cushion early, with Dajon Mingo scoring less than three minutes into the game. BG played well in the first, putting nine shots on Colgate goalie Spencer Finney. Mingo added an assist to stretch his point streak to four games. That streak ended in Saturday’s game. “I just want to be relentless out there and play hard with the team,” Mingo said. “How coach says we have to go out and play relentless and that’s what I did today.” Cam Wojtala made it 2-0 just over a minute into the second period. He received a pass from Mingo near the offensive blue line, carried the puck into the zone and fired a wrist shot past Finney. Burke was strong throughout the game, but particularly in the second and third periods. He stopped nine shots in each period. It took Colgate nearly the entire game to figure him out. Jeremy Price cut the BG lead to
2-1 with just over three minutes to go in the game. However, that score held for just over a minute, as Bobby Shea blocked a shot at the defensive blue line, leading to a breakaway goal to bring the lead back to two. The win for the Falcons was their first of the season. “I think it was a character win for the team,” said Assistant Coach Barry Schutte. “It’s no secret we’re a young team and guys are still identifying their roles. I thought they came out focused.” Colgate has developed its game as a team that is aggressive offensively and takes chances with the puck. That risk-reward mentality cost them Friday, but paid off greatly for them Saturday. The Raiders scored three goals in a span of 5:45 midway through the first period. Despite training 3-0 after the first, the Falcons played well in the period, outshooting Colgate 11-9. The Falcons fought back in the second, with Mark Cooper scoring his second goal of the year to cut the deficit to 3-1.
Junior Anthony Grant led the Falcons in shots with 5 and sophomore Danny Baraldi had 3 shots during the match. BG was outshot 18 to 13 but led in saves, 10-4. The Falcons now have a record of 5-7-3 with the draw against Northern Illinois, who are now 3-8-3 on the year. BG will travel to Ann Arbor, Mich. to take on the Wolverines of Michigan on Tuesday. Michigan is currently 5-7-1 on the season and is 2-2-1 in Big Ten Conference play. They are 1-1 in their
past two matches, losing to No. 3 Akron and defeating No. 11 Indiana. Last year, the Falcons defeated the Wolverines, 2-0, in the home opener, which was the first night game in Cochrane Field history. BG will be travelling to Boca Raton, Fla. on Friday to take on the 2-10-1 Florida Atlantic Owls in their last regular season away match and second to last Mid-American Conference match. The next home match for the Falcons will be Tuesday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. at Cochrane Field when the team hosts Wright State.

“It was a great job by [Andrew] Wallace and [Dan] DeSalvo on the forecheck; I was just waiting in the weeds,” Cooper said. “When DeSalvo came out with the puck he found me back door and I just had a tap-in.” Colgate answered late in the period to make it 4-1 entering the third. DeSalvo had two assists in the game. He also assisted on Ryan Carpenter’s late third period goal. DeSalvo has four assists in five games this year. Despite allowing four goals on 27 shots, Burke played well in his first collegiate start. Two of the goals he allowed were off rebounds and another was a Colgate shorthanded goal on a 2-on-1 play. Cooper was active in the game, with a goal and four shots. “We just have to come in mentally prepared every game and every shift,” he said. “[You can’t] give up when a bounce doesn’t go your way, just keep going and stay positive.” BG returns home this weekend for a two game series with Ohio State.

FOOTBALL From Page 6 The Falcons managed to score just 7 points in the first half and punted on several occasions. Bowling Green stopped the run game of the Minutemen limiting them to only 85 yards and forced them to pass the ball. The defense only allowed 118 yards of total offense and had intercepted the Minutemen four times, including Dwayne Woods’ 48 yard return for a touchdown. Boo Boo Gates added an interception and Jude AdjeiBarimah added two. “How can you find any fault with the defensive effort?” Clawson said. “Those guys were unbelievable.” Despite all the defensive success, defensive tackle Chris Jones had his six-game sack-streak snapped but was a key part
to holding the Minutemen to 1-for-16 on third down conversions. Tackle D.J. Lynch led the defense with 10 tackles of his own and a career high. Special teams added some points Saturday as well. Kicker Stephan Stein added a 42 yard field goal in the fourth quarter for a career high: he has not missed a field goal in two games now. “Anytime you go on the road and win a conference game, we’re happy,” Clawson said. “Are we capable of playing better and do we need to play better? Absolutely.” The Falcons now move to 5-3 overall and are on a four-game win streak for the first time since 2009. Bowling Green is now perched third in the MAC East behind Kent State and Ohio with a 3-1 record and will be at home this upcoming Saturday to play Eastern Michigan.

Falcons lose first MAC game to Ball State, regroup against Toledo By Max Householder Reporter
It took a tough and gritty performance by the BG volleyball team on Saturday to stave off Toledo and remain tied atop the MAC East. After losing their first conference match of the year on Friday night against Ball State, the Falcons had to remain focused as they were taking on an underrated Toledo team. With the match tied at 1-1 after two sets, the atmosphere was similar to the game against Ball State the night before. Yet the Falcons held it together and won the next two sets 25-20 and 25-10. While BG had a decent offensive performance against Ball State by posting 60 kills, they were not able to put together
the type of hitting streaks like they did against Toledo. In fact, in all of the three sets they won against Toledo, they hit no lower than .257 and in the final set they hit .433. They did this while still holding their rivals to a mere .077 kills percentage in the fifth set and .164 for the match. BG, after being outplayed on the defensive side of the net against Ball State, got back to being dominant. The Falcons tallied up 11 blocks on the night compared to just seven from Toledo. Leading the way at the net was Leah Shaw, who had six of the 11 BG blocks. Also for the Falcons, defensive specialist Ashley Dunn posted 19 digs to add to her yearly total of 378. In both matches this weekend, the
Falcons had the same three players finish with double digit kills. Outside hitter Paige Penrod, Lindsay Butterfield and right side hitter Danielle Tonyan combined for 87 kills on the weekend. Penrod was brilliant against Toledo as she successfully converted 17 of her 39 attack attempts with just 8 errors. This was a big win for the Falcons as they managed to stay tied with Ohio for the MAC East crown. The Bobcats were 2-0 this past weekend and, since losing to BG back in September, they have won nine straight. The two teams will meet again this weekend as BG takes to the road again to match up against Kent State on Friday night and Ohio on Saturday. Both matches are set for 7 p.m.
