Obama defeats Republican Challenger Mitt Romney, winning Ohio, Wood County again By Tyler Buchanan In Focus Editor
The people have spoken. Four more years. Incumbent President Barack Obama defeated Republican challenger Mitt Romney, securing at least 300 electoral votes on an election day that marks the end of a long, hard-fought presidential campaign. Obama won the state of Ohio, a crucial swing state heavily campaigned by both candidates during this election. The incumbent also picked up numerous other swing states that brought him to a victory, including Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Before he even made a victory speech, Obama addressed his supporters on Twitter. “We’re all in this together. That’s how we campaigned, and that’s who we are,” Obama personally tweeted. Wood County continued its string of correctly predicting the presidential winner, with Obama winning nearly 51 percent of the vote. Obama also won Wood County in the 2008 elections. Sophomore Morgan Holliger, secretary of College Democrats and a political science major,

said a strong grassroots campaign helped contribute to Obama’s success at the University and Wood County area. With nearly 98 percent of Wood County precincts reporting in Tuesday night as of 1:00 a.m., Obama led by just more than 2,000 votes over Romney, according to the Wood County Board of Elections. “We have had awesome students with the Obama campaign,” Holliger said. “We have a great base of supporters.” Democratic First Ward Council Member Daniel Gordon said the Democrats had an advantage this election due to the strong political presence on campus. “There has never been a more efficient and powerful ground game in American politics,” Gordon said. Gordon, who volunteered for Obama’s campaign in 2008, said this election’s efforts were successful due to the large numbers of student registrations and long lines to vote on campus. Each state is designated an amount of electoral college votes proportional to its populations. While

FACULTY BRIEF
Faculty Senate approves early childhood education redesign The University will revamp its early childhood education program during the next few years, combining it with intervention specialist studies to create an inclusive early childhood program. Faculty Senate approved the proposal at its meeting Tuesday, with 55 members voting for it, two against it and two abstaining. The inclusive early childhood program will be the first of its kind in Ohio, said Dawn Shinew, director of the School of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education and Human Development. It will better prepare University graduates to meet children’s needs in all-inclusive classrooms, where special needs children are integrated into traditional classrooms, she said. “This is the direction we need to be moving in education,” Shinew said. “Classrooms are increasingly diverse ... and that’s a good thing, because it’s reflective of the larger society.” College reserve funds will be used to cover costs of transitioning into the new program, including hiring additional faculty members for new courses. The University will begin offering the inclusive early childhood program in fall 2013. Sue Houston, vice provost for Undergraduate Education, also updated the senate Tuesday on several previously discussed policy changes. The policies addressed class withdrawals, guest students, grade appeals and general education curriculum.

Bob Latta will once again represent Ohio’s 5th district in the U.S. House of Representatives. Latta, who has served as representative for three terms, won re-election for his fourth term Tuesday. “I think the numbers show we won overwhelmingly,” said Matt Reger, chair of the Wood County Republicans. “[It shows] that people want him to be there.” Latta was projected to win against Angela Zimmann 186,473 votes for 57.24 percent to 128,579 votes for 39.31 percent, with Libertarian Candidate Eric Eberly getting 11,258 votes for 3.44 percent of the vote. All precincts in district five were reporting 100 percent except Lucas, Van Wert, Wood and Wyandot, according to the Ohio Secretary of State website. In Wood County, Latta won 51.8 percent to Zimmann’s 44.39 percent. Latta said he is very humble and privileged to be able to represent the people of the 5th district, he said his campaign was successful because of hard work. “I’m a firm believer in grassroots,” Latta said. “We went out and worked hard in the district.” Reger said Latta is a great congressperson. “We won because Bob Latta has a proven electorate and has worked hard in Congress,” Reger said. “It means that a person who has been clearly committed to working hard for them is still there in Congress.” Greg Robinette, the fourth ward councilman Bowling Green City council member and Republican, said he supports Latta. “I think Bob’s a great representative for the district, I fully support Bob and what he’s doing in Washington,” Robinette said. Some students are also happy Latta will continue to represent the 5th district. Mandy Wise, president of Students for Romney and a senior, said she thinks Latta has done a great job and said his plan to improve the economy and create jobs is a good one. “I think part of being a conservative is that we know the economy is number one, you can’t fix anything unless the economy is growing,” Wise said. “Conservatives understand that growing economy has to be central point and everything else can grow from there.

US House Representative understand we have to cut back on spending.” As far as students are concerned, Wise said she thinks Democrats talk extensively about getting people to go to college but that they forget why students go to college — to get a job. “If your goal of entering college is to graduate and get a job in your field of study ... You should vote for [Latta],” Wise said. “I just feel like especially when the economy is in this situation, we need a conservative in there.” Fifty-three percent of college graduates under 25 are either unemployed or underemployed, Latta said earlier this month. Freshman Paige Pitts said this statistic scares her. “I thought that was the whole reason to go to college, to get a degree to be successful,” Pitts said. The problem with liberals is that they talk all about college affordability, but not about why people go to college, Wise said. “Republicans actually want to get in there and fix the problem,” she said. Latta’s policies include making sure Americans have the jobs they want, reducing regulations, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, balancing the budget and revising the tax code, Latta said. Robinette said Latta has policies that help the economy and make jobs, which benefits everyone. “I’m looking forward to a continuation of his conservative, fiscally responsible voice in Washington,” Robinette said. “I think he’s working hard to make sure Washington understands the issues that are important to us in northwest Ohio.” Reger said that even though he had hoped Mitt Romney would become president, he is glad Latta is representing Republicans in Congress. “Bob’s going to continue to be there to fight for things we’re worried about,” Reger said. Latta said he’s looking forward to getting back to Washington, balancing the budget through a Constitutional amendment and passing meaningful legislation that is going to create jobs.

After loss, Zimmann plans to continue serving community as University instructor, Lutheran pastor By Tara Keller Pulse Editor
Although Angela Zimmann hoped she would win a seat in the U.S. House, she is content with continuing on and doing what she loves. “My whole platform was to serve the community,” she said. “I’ve been honored to be a candidate and am overwhelmed by the amount of support I received.” The University instructor and Democratic candidate lost to Republican Incumbent Bob Latta by 57.24 percent(186,473 votes) to 39.31 percent (128,579 votes). All precincts in district five were reporting 100 percent except Lucas, Van Wert, Wood and Wyandot, according to the Ohio Secretary of State website. In Wood County, Latta won 51.8 percent to Zimmann’s 44.39 percent. “I wish we would have had a debate, but that’s all in the past now,” she said. “It was an incredible race.” Zimmann said her future now lies in the opportunities outside of running for Congress. “I will serve in whatever capacity I can,” she said. “It depends on what opportunities comes up.” Those opportunities include continuing to serve as a Lutheran pastor and returning to the University in January to teach General Studies Writing. “I look forward to being back with my students,” she said. Those students, and everyone else who helped out with the campaign, made the loss easier, she said. “Over 100,000 people voted for me

and believed in this,” she said. “I have no regrets.” Although Zimmann will not get a chance to be a member of Congress, she said she enjoyed meeting people around the district and working with her campaign staff. Members of the Zimmann campaign included student volunteers from the University and members of the surrounding communities. Volunteer Nicole D’Agostino said her young son Jonathan had a unique way of showing his support when he went trick-or-treating this past week. “He refused to go into any houses with Romney or Latta signs,” D’Agostino said. Jonathan was not alone in his loyalty to Zimmann. Chuck Massarolo interned with the campaign and said Zimmann would have represented the 5th district well if she had won. “I think she would have been a great fit for the district,” he said. “She would have done a great job in DC.” Going against Latta was a tough job to take on, he said. “When you’re going against the most conservative person in the U.S. House, it’d be a good fight,” he said. Massarolo thought Zimmann fought well and will keep fighting in other areas. “She had a really good fight,” he said. “You got to be proud of what she’s done.” Zimmann said she was proud of herself, but was prouder of her staff. “My entire staff was just amazing,” she said. “We grew really close and we’ve all learned so much.”
term on Jan. 20, 2013. For now, Obama supporters like Gordon may revel in the moment, enjoying the fruits of a months-long campaign which has seen Bowling Green visits from President Obama and Mitt Romney this year. “I think this is a win for the American people, and I’m very
proud of all the young people who poured their hearts out into this,” Gordon said. Holliger said the victory marks a continued growth in the Democratic movement. “We won Wood County, we won Ohio,” she said. “Everyone’s vote at Bowling Green mattered ... it definitely mattered.”

Brown defeats Wicks for seat in Ohio House

TIM BROWN, Republican Candidate (center), speaks to supporters at the Republican watch party at Grumpy Dave’s Tuesday night.
After securing more than half the votes, Brown will represent Wood County By Eric Lagatta Reporter
Republican Wood County Commissioner Tim Brown defeated Democratic candidate Kelly Wicks to secure a seat in the Statehouse for the third district Tuesday night. With all 97 precincts reporting, Brown led Wicks 30,146 votes for 51.7 percent to 25,444 votes for 43.7 percent, according to the Wood County Board of Elections. “I’m honored to have this support,” Brown said. “We’ll celebrate tonight and get to work tomorrow.” Brown expressed relief about t he end of t he campaign. “It’ll be nice to wake up over the next several days and not worry about where I am on the campaign trail,” he said. Brown recognized the hard work his volunteers put forth throughout the campaign. “This was a tremendous amount of work for a lot of people,” he said. “Everyone took every minute of the campaign very seriously.” Campaign coordinator Megan Burke said she is proud of the way the cam-
paign was run. She and the volunteers were able to communicate with many constituents, an important factor influencing the outcome of the election, she said. “I’m very happy of the service I gave to Tim,” Burke said. “[Constituents] giving us five minutes of their time at the door helped a lot.” Brown also further emphasized the grassroots nature of the campaign. “Showing people that I’m there to listen was very helpful,” he said. Mayor Richard Edwards said Brown will bring a real knowledge of local government to the Statehouse. “I frankly think that’s missing in Columbus right now,” Edwards said. “He would bring a new perspective.” Edwards has worked with Brown throughout Brown’s 14 years as commissioner and said his experience will benefit him at the state level. “I’m hoping there will be a stronger voice pointing out the importance of municipal government,” he said. “[Brown’s] worked hard trying to understand the needs of local government and in
that process he’s come to know the needs of Wood County.” Greg Robinette, 4th Ward city council member, said Brown will bring fiscal responsibility to the Statehouse. “He’s been a great commissioner. It’d be nice if he could bring some of that fiscal common sense to the General Assembly,” Robinette said. “He can’t help but build on the great experience he’s had as commissioner.” As a state representative, Brown said he plans to promote business and create jobs for Wood County by reducing government regulations and keeping taxes low. “I’m very happy for Commissioner Brown,” Burke said. “He is going to do a phenomenal job representing the county.” After a tight race, Brown looks forward to his future in Columbus. “We anticipated close races for a lot of us and that’s kind of what we got,” Brown said. “I am absolutely thrilled and honored to have the opportunity to represent you in the Statehouse.”

KELLY WICKS, Democratic Candidate (center), speaks to supporters at the Democratic watch party at Cla-Zel Tuesday night.
First-time candidate keeps race close, falls short in end By Alex Alusheff City Editor
Despite going door-to-door all across the county and meeting more than 25,000 people, Democratic candidate Kelly Wicks came up short to his Republican opponent, Commissioner Tim Brown, in the race for the Ohio House. With all 97 precincts reporting, Brown defeated Wicks 30,146 votes to 25,444 votes, giving Brown 51 percent of the vote to Wicks’ 43 percent. “You can only work so hard,” Wicks said. “I’m a first-time candidate going against a county commissioner that’s been reelected four times; we were underdogs from the start.” While Wicks took a lead with early voting, he soon fell behind when 45 percent of the precincts reported Brown leading Wicks 17,542 votes to 15,174. Mike Zickar, chair of the Wood County Democrats, said Wick’s campaign has been the closest he’s seen in years. “Kelly’s campaign was amazing as a first-time run-
Issue 2 shot down by Wood County
Plans to form nonpartisan committee to redraw district voting lines fails by about 20 percent By Stephan Reed Forum Editor
Ohio Issue 2 was voted down by a significant margin Tuesday. Issue 2 would have formed a 12-member commission to redraw state voting district lines. With 97.9 percent of precincts reporting as of midnight, more than 60 percent of Ohioans voted against Issue 2 and nearly 40 percent voted for it. If approved, the commission would have consisted of four Democrats, four Republicans and four Independent or nonpartisan citizens. The Ohio Appellate judges would have appointed
these members. Because the issue was voted down, previous line drawing methods will continue. “The state legislator draws the voting boundaries,” said Russell Mills, an assistant professor of political science at the University. “The common conception today is that the legislator gets to pick their voters, because every 10 years, after the census, they draw the boundaries.” Ballot issues regarding voting district lines tend to surface after each census. “Predominantly, they don’t succeed that much,” Mills said. “In America, we trust what was done before us.” The idea of a nonpartisan method of district drawing
sounded good, but it wasn’t fool proof, said State Rep. Randy Gardner. “If it were a Republicanonly issue, it would not have gone down to defeat as it did because the Democrats have done well statewide,” he said. “Obviously, it wasn’t just Republicans who voted ‘no.’ There were some Democrats and Independents as well.” Lack of awareness of Issue 2 has also been blamed for its failing. “There could have been more funding and more resources for Issue 2,” said Daniel Gordon, 1st Ward council member. “Not a lot of people knew what it was and the ballot language was really tricky. We need reform and we
need to keep working on it.” The idea of redrawing voting district lines in a nonpartisan way may continue to be amended until politicians figure out a plan that works, Gardner said. “We need congressional district reform,” he said. “The problem is … many people saw that this didn’t take the politics out of the process. Anytime we are going to change the constitution, we need to in a nonpartisan way.” Amending the existing practices seemed problematic, said voter Julie Gutierrez of Tontogany, Ohio. “It was a no-brainer,” Gutierrez said. “I could not see this issue passing this time around. It was just too risky.”

ner, and it was a great team effort against someone who has been on the ballot for some time,” Zickar said. Tim Brown has been Wood County Commissioner for 14 years. “It’s hard to beat that n a me r e c o g n it ion ,” Zickar said. Even though they were defeated, Wicks and Campaign Manager Sam Melendez said they wouldn’t have done anything different. “It’s been a good race,” Melendez said. “We engaged the voters and talked to 25,000 citizens. We did it the right way and did not waste money on annoying TV ads, phone calls or hate mail.” Besides going door-todoor across the county, the campaign also encouraged voting by implementing golf carts taking students on campus to the Board of Elections to vote early, he said. “We knew early voting was going to be important and we wanted to make it as easy as possible,” Melendez said. It was just as much as
Kelly Wicks | Democratic Candidate about raising awareness to vote, he said. Wicks said the support of the community was able to pull the team together and make the race a real game with him as a first-time candidate. “I had a great time and I am proud of the team,” Wicks said. “We were able to put real pressure on [the Republicans].” While the race may be over, the coffee shop owner said he has a good business to fall back onto. “Grounds For Thought opens at 6 a.m.,” Wicks said. “Come in and buy a cup of coffee.”

Falcons, Bobcats battle to control own destiny in race for MAC East title By Ethan Easterwood Sports Editor
If the Falcons want to accomplish their season goal of winning the Mid-American Conference they will have to get by Ohio on Wednesday. “Being in contention is what we work for year-round, for that MAC championship,” defensive tackle Chris Jones said. “And we are getting down to the heat of it.” The Falcons were sitting above the Bobcats in the standings due to an odd play of events when the then-No. 24 ranked Ohio lost to Miami two games ago. Since BG had defeated the RedHawks, the Falcons moved above Ohio despite both teams having just one conference loss. Ohio won this past weekend against Eastern Michigan, whereas the Falcons had the weekend off, which moved them back above BG with both having 4-1 conference records. The Bobcats are 8-1 overall and the Falcons sit at 6-3 due to their current five-game win-streak. Historically, the Falcons lead the Bobcats in all-time matchups 36-25-2 and the Bobcats are undefeated at home this season. The Falcons have all three losses on the road at Florida, Toledo and Virginia Tech. “You could argue that Ohio has been the most successful and most consistent program in the MAC over the past four years and especially in the east,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “They are dynamic and explosive on offense.” Ohio averages over 34 points and over 450 yards a game which is led by quarterback Tyler Tettleton. Tettleton has exactly 1,900 yards passing this season with 15 touchdowns

and two interceptions. The Bobcats’ running back, Beau Blankenship, brings in eight touchdowns of his own. “Ohio has a great offense,” Jones said. “Tettleton is a great play-maker and going against their offensive line the past three years, they are one of the most physical offensive lines I’ve gone against. It’s still going to be a great challenge for ourselves as a defense.” Offensively the Falcons’ quarterback, Matt Schilz, has 1,752 passing yards with nine touchdowns and six interceptions. The offense has been run heavy with Anthon Samuel leading the way. Samuel has eight touchdowns and averages 5.7 yards per carry. Running back John Pettigrew has four touchdowns of his own and Andre Givens added his first touchdown against Eastern Michigan. The Falcons defense have allowed just two touchdowns in the last five games and have held all opponents under 13 points in their six wins. The defense currently sits ninth in the nation in points against with 15.2, and leads the MAC in rush defense, pass defense and overall defense. The defense and the nation have been led by defensive tackle Chris Jones in sacks. Jones was the sole leader with 11.5 until the Falcons bye-week when Damontre Moore from Texas A&M caught up to share the national lead. Jones also sits behind Moore in second nationally in tackles for a loss with 16; Moore has 18. Both Ohio and BG have played Eastern Michigan last. BG defeated the Eagles 24-3 on Oct. 27, keeping the Eagles to

Notes: BG looks for more offense By Ryan Satkowiak Senior Reporter
The BG hockey team has struggled with scoring goals this season. Through nine games, the Falcons average 1.75 goals per game. The number is even lower in Central Collegiate Hockey Association play, where the Falcons have scored five goals in four games. Coach Chris Bergeron says the problem hasn’t been inconsistency, because the team has been consistently not good enough at getting pucks and bodies to the opposing net. “We use 30 shots on goal as a
marker, it’s one of our objectives every game and we’ve probably gotten that objective three out of nine [games] at most,” Bergeron said. “That’s nowhere near good enough.” How that gets fixed has both simple and complex answers. Simply put, Bergeron said the team needs to get better at getting pucks on goal and crashing the net. More complex is the fact that Bergeron feels the team hasn’t been getting completely shut down offensively; rather, that the team is just failing to convert on the scoring chances they have been getting. The fix there could be as menial as simply getting a positive
bounce that leads to momentum. “I’m a firm believer that you make your own breaks,” Bergeron said. “We’re going to have to do things properly to get those breaks, and it starts with getting more pucks on net and getting more people to the net. “Obviously scoring goals has not been easy for us. I don’t think you can get away from those simple things that you have to do to give yourself the best chance to score goals.” One reason for the lack of goal

This year, the women’s cross country team has done well for a team that is so young. Abby Koch, Andrea Alt, Kendra Kezur and Jasmine Redman have picked up the leadership roles and helped this team to a great season so far and a record eighth place finish in the Mid-American Conference Championships. “These four were not even in a Bowling Green uniform last year,” said coach Lou Snelling. “But it has been great for us to have them this season.” Abby Koch is a redshirt junior who attended Stow High School in Stow, Ohio. She is currently majoring in Speech Pathology with a minor in Spanish. She started the year off strong with a seventh place finish at the Mel Brodt season opener and a third place finish at the Buffalo Invitational before not running during the All Ohio Championships. Koch then came back with a 17th place finish in the Bradley Classic and a 28th place finish in the MAC Championships. She has led the Falcons in three out of the four races she ran this year. Alt is a redshirt freshmen who
attended Perrysburg High School in Perrysburg, Ohio. She is currently majoring in AYA Mathematics. She came out in her first meet in a BG uniform well, with two top 10 finishes in her first two meets. She also did not run during the All Ohio Championships, but during the Bradley Classic, she fell a little bit with a 34th place finish, but she picked it right back up in the MAC Championships leading the Falcons with a 23rd place finish. “We are all refocused and ready to hit Wisconsin hard,” Alt said. “If everyone can stay focused in the race we could end up with a top 20 finish.” Kezur is a sophomore transfer from Cleveland State University from Sylvania Southview High School in Toledo, Ohio. She is currently majoring in Allied Health Science. As a freshman at Cleveland State she was the team’s second leading runner she decided to come to BG and she showed that talent right away as she finished with two top 20 finishes in the first two meets. She did not run in the All Ohio Championships, but came out of that break strong with a 26th place finish in the Bradley Classic and a 43rd finish the MAC Championships.

The Attic, One 49 offer Country Night By Renee Swallow Reporter
Country lovers can go out and enjoy a rustic atmosphere at two of Bowling Green’s best-known clubs, The Attic and One 49, with Country Night. Eric Pelham, owner of The Attic and 2002 Bowling Green graduate, said that The Attic has hosted Country Night every Wednesday for the past three and a half years. “The Attic used to be what was called the Junction,” Pelham said. “They started the tradition and when we took over we decided to continue it, so there’s been a country night in this place for over 15 years.” The Attic offers drink specials and pool, however the main event is the line dancing and country music played all night by DJ Mike Treon, who is a senior at the University majoring in high school math education. “I just love the interaction w ith ever ybody,” he said. Treon also decided to create the Twitter account, @BGCountr yNight, so that students could tweet their song requests instead of having to fight the crowd. Pelham said the Attic’s Country Night is growing consistently and has a very laid back atmosphere. “We wa nt it to be t he place to be on We d n e s d a y n i g ht ,” Pelham said. “This is the

BRIEF
Students, staff offer supplies, money for Hurricane Sandy relief
When Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast a little more than a week ago, the University Office of Campus Activities decided to take action. Christopher Bullins, associate dean of students, made calls to the American Red Cross and local non-profit organization International Services of Hope & Impact With God Crusades, Incorporated [ISOH/IMPACT] and asked how the campus community could help. “Knowing our students are often passionate about helping those in need, I thought it would be helpful to try to provide some coordination about how to help,” Bullins said. The Red Cross asked for online donations and ISOH/IMPACT asked for donations of money as well as items, Bullins said. The information was then sent out in a campus update to the University community as well as to leaders of campus organizations. Items, such as toiletries, blankets and cleaning supplies, could be dropped off on the first floor of the Union until noon Monday, when ISOH/ IMPACT picked them up. Bullins said efforts like these are important on a college campus for a few reasons. “When our students are here, we stress that a Bowling Green education is going to be preparation for life, not only in a career but also civic engagement and leadership,” he said. “One way any community demonstrates commitment to others is helping those in need.”

Sleigh Bells duo to perform at Cla-Zel By Geoff Burns Reporter
Sleigh Bells is set to hit the stage Wednesday at the Cla-Zel with opening act Araabmuzik, contributing to its North American Tour that began in October. The band consists of a musical duo with Derek Miller playing guitar and Alexis Krauss singing vocals. The musical group started to write songs in 2008 and has released a self-titled EP, and two full-length albums since then. The newest album “Reign of Terror” was released in February 2012 which landed the group a performance on Saturday Night Live. The duo has been featured in major magazines such as Rolling Stone and Alternative Press and has performed with acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and the punk band Refused. Miller said the band tours all of the time and the college shows are really fun to play because the younger crowd is so energized. “Our show, for me, relies heavily on crowd participation,” Miller said. “There’s nothing worse than playing to a room full of people standing there with their arms crossed.
I don’t think our band works in a live setting like that and when that happens, the show falls flat.” Innovation Concerts in Toledo, Ohio set up the show for Sleigh Bells to perform and president Broc Curry said it’s more difficult to convince larger bands to come out and play at a show in a place they have never heard of or been to before. “We try to do [bring entertainment] once a month, once every six weeks type of basis in bringing something exciting to town and hope that the student body will come out and support it,” Curry said. “We thought BG would appeal to the college crowd a bit more and the Cla-Zel is a great venue. It’s the perfect size and a great atmosphere.” Miller said his favorite song to play during the set is “Born to Lose,” from the group’s latest album “Reign of Terror”, because of the emotional response it creates between the band and the crowd. “Really it’s just that moment and it’s always just really exciting and really tense for me,” Miller said.

Graduate Student and has been a fan of Sleigh Bells since 2010 when the duo’s album “Treats” was released. “I like how the band is different and isn’t something that I would usually listen to,” Kreiger said. “I have been to the Cla-Zel for a show before and it had a great atmosphere.” Tickets are now only available to purchase at the door for $25. “I started writing music when I was 10 or 11 and I don’t feel like I’m any better right now,” Miller said. “I still feel like I’m still stumbling around in the dark and that’s one of my favorite things about music, is that you can never really know it. It has a permanent mystery to it. Music is never finished and it’s pretty fascinating.”

FOOTBALL RUNNERS From Page 5 From Page 5 178 yards of offense whereas the Bobcats won 45-14 putting up 559 yards of offense. Since playing Eastern Michigan, the Falcons will have had 10 days off compared to Ohio’s four. “I think sometimes when you are playing well you want to keep playing,” Clawson said about the long break. “Right now our guys have a lot of confidence and we have been on a pretty good roll and when you’re in that you hate breaking that up. But on the same token we’ve played nine straight games and the rest helps.” The game will take place Wednesday in Athens at 8 p.m. on ESPN2.
HOCKEY From Page 5 production this season has been the abysmal success rate of BG’s power play. The Falcons have gone 24 consecutive power plays without a goal, a span that stretches six games. For the season, BG is 3-for-41 (7.3 percent) with the man advantage. “I feel like we’re doing a better job getting the puck into the zone, but once we get in I feel like we need to swarm the puck more, get the puck on our sticks better and get the puck up to the point,” said BG forward Adam Berkle, who leads the team with six points. “That will open up the power play more, but I feel like we’re having a difficult time doing that and retrieving pucks once we get into the zone.” One thing that has been plaguing the Falcons this season is a lack of continuity with
Bradley Classic and a 55th place finish in the MAC championships. “I am glad we have improved from last year and I think we did alright for having eight of our nine runners never have run a MAC meet,” Redman said. “But, I think we were disappointed about our performance as a team, we were hoping for a better place.” The mixture of youth, experience and talent with these four girls is something special and something every BG fan can look forward to watching in the next few years. “It is big for us to have them gain this experience,” Snelling said. “These girls could be the cornerstone of the program for a number of years going forward.”
“Being a transfer, I had a lot to prove and room for improvement,” said Kezur. “The pressure will always be there; it’s about the way you handle it. Being so young means we have a lot to prove.” Redman is a redshirt freshman from Tecumseh High School in New Carlisle, Ohio. She is currently majoring in Sport Management. In her first meet in a BG uniform, she finished 23rd, but improved over the next few weeks with a ninth place finish in the Buffalo Invitational. After not running in the All Ohio Championships, she had a 31st place finish in the
a team that is still rather young. Often times, the Falcons’ cross-ice passes through the neutral zone go off target, or breakout passes at the defensive blue line get turned over because the players are still learning and adjusting to the tendencies of their teammates. “Pretty much everyone, we’re just not cohesive with each other right now,” Berkle said. “But we’re still working on that, bringing the team together and knowing where everyone is going to be on the ice and how everyone is going to react to certain situations. I think once we get passed that, we’re going to be fine.”
level and a calmness, an intensity to compete not just in games, but everyday in practice,” Bergeron said. “Not to say that Andrew [Hammond] hasn’t done those things, but now you have to execute.” “Now guys are going to have get it done. If one goalie or two of the three goals aren’t getting it done, he’s not going to find himself playing. It’s a good, healthy competition.” This competition was spurned in the wake of Hammond’s elbow injury. Burke stepped in and played well in his absence.
