Chris Jans to be announced as Men’s basketball coach The BG men’s basketball team will announce the filling of its head coaching vacancy later this week. The athletic department confirmed that Wichita State University assistant coach Chris Jans will fill the position previously held by Louis Orr and that a press conference for the official announcement will be hosted this week. Jans’ Shockers fell earlier Sunday afternoon to The University of Kentucky ending their perfect season and road to the Final Four. He was the assistant and right hand man to head coach Gregg Marshall and was an important piece to the puzzle that took the Shockers to the Final Four last season before they lost to Louisville. Jans got his first head coaching job in 1996 at Kirkwood Community College. In his second season he took a struggling team and won the NJCAA national championship and also won NJCAA national coach of the year honors. Jans will bring experience from Wichita State that will be instrumental in the building of the basketball program. He was Marshall’s assistant since he arrived in 2007 and was an important figure in building that mid-major program to the level it is now. He leaves a team that finished the season 35-1.

GET ANIMATED UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

AT 12TH ANNUAL CONVENTION By Marissa Stambol Reporter

The president of the student body gets paid about $10,000 a year to represent the student voice. He gets paid from student general fees, which then go through the University to the student government budget. President of the Stipends for this year: Undergraduate $10,606: President Alex Solis Student Government $3,500: Vice President David Alex Solis gets paid the Neely equivalent of full in$3,500: Speaker Katie Post state tuition, $10,606 $750: Chief of Staff- Danielle Parker [She is paid less because she and Vice President stepped in for someone else halfway David Neely gets paid through the year, would have been $3,500 for the full year. $1,500] To compare, Bowling Total: $19,106 Green city council members make $5,000 a year, according to earlier BG News report. This amount could create a conflict of interest if they have to oppose the University for the students. USG Adviser and Dean of Students Jodi Webb insists the USG members don’t have that conflict. “[USG is] a key part of our campus,” Webb said. “So while they do receive that stipend, they are respected as the student voice, not a University employee.” The way Solis and Neely get paid is through the USG budget.

On Saturday, an estimated 3,700 people packed the Union to celebrate one thing: their love of anime at Animarathon XII. Thousands of colorful and eccentric costumes were just a small part of the convention, which was organized by University organization Anime in Northwest Ohio and welcomed anime fans of all ages. Senior Rachel Gast, marketing director of ANO, said the convention went smoothly and the club had a positive reaction from both attendees and presenters. “I think it was the best [convention] I’ve been a part of,” Gast said. “This is my fourth and final year.” More than 50 vendors and artists came to sell their work, including senior Chloe Rose, who sold her art in the convention’s Artist Alley. “I have a combination of digital and traditional prints that are fan art from preexisting series,” Rose said. Other vendors included student creations, anime themed items and even chainmail made by the local Dragon Brothers

Updated classrooms:

While increasing technology may be good for learning and sustainability purposes, it’s not for the University’s budget. It cost the University an estimated $2.5 million to update 15 classrooms in four buildings during the past three years with technological advancements, said John Ellinger, chief information officer of Information Technology Services. Before that, most of the larger lecture halls hadn’t been renovated in more than 20 years. Four buildings during the past three years have been updated with smart boards, TVs, projec-

To be updated this summer:

•Fine Arts Building - 1012, 1040 •Olscamp Hall - 113 •Math Science Building - 210, 220

By the numbers:

This technolog y advancement has sparked some concern among the University’s administration. This advancement has challenged the administration to come up with other ways to lower the budget while remaining sustainable. To offset the costs, techniques include keeping rooms at standard temperatures, turning lights off when unoccupied, instating a “bring your own laptop” program and considering geothermal and solar energy in the near future, Vice President of Capital Planning

tion,” Gast said. Manning, a horror comic writer, was another of the speakers. Manning, usually a speaker at comic conventions, is also a University alumnus. Manning told Gast that he enjoyed speaking at his first anime convention at his alma mater.

USG From Page 1 The organization receives a certain amount every year to spend on stipends and other projects the group works, said Treasurer Ebonee Johnson. “What Alex and David do are considered full time jobs, because neither can have real jobs with how much they do for USG,” she said. “So the dean of students and USG thought it was appropriate to compensate them for their work.” Johnson said the stipends for members in USG make up about 50 percent of the budget, which is about $40,000 this year. See the full break down in the factbox. Solis and Neely said they work hard every day for USG. “I’m averaging about 40 to 50 hours a week at times, about 40 just with the meetings I attend,” Solis said. “Just a few I have are University council, ex-officio, four standing committees, general assembly and two projects.” Neely feels like his job takes the place of a parttime job. “I’m working for USG about 20 to 30 hours a week, meeting with students, administration, standing committees, general assembly and more,” Neely said. “The stipend helps subsidize the work I do because I don’t have the time do work a parttime job.” They both said they have never felt pressure to agree or side with the administra-

because of how much fun it adds to the atmosphere but she did attend some of the panels. “The Equestria panel was the only one that I saw that I was interested in,” Hacker said. Other events throughout the day included a c osplay c ompet it ion, a burlesque show a nd a rave t hat ended t he convention. Gast said the convention would not have been possible without the help of her fellow ANO members, the gaming society and the union staff. “You should go and explore things like this to discover a different side of popular culture,” Rose said.

tion because they are paid from the University. “I don’t see it as getting paid from the University, I see it as I’m getting paid from the students through their money and the general fees,” Solis said. “The general fees get allocated to our budget, which we get paid from. It’s a misconception that we are only for the [administration]. Look at our track record. I can tell you countless times we have gone into battle with the administration to represent the students.” Junior Katrina Adams sees how a bias for the University could occur for Solis and Neely while they are getting paid. “If they focus on the students and their hours are put to good use, it’s alright for them to be paid the amount they are,” she said. “I feel like it’s a lot of money, but it might be worth it for all the work they do.” However, sophomore Valerie Skorupski feels they are paid too much. “It seems like an exorbitant amount,” she said. “They are students and I am too but I work two jobs and don’t get paid that amount.” Neely uses the money to work for the students. “There has been no decision that I have made where I thought about me getting paid by the University,” Neely said. “I only do it for the students. I’m getting paid to represent the student body, so it allows us to give 100 percent day in and day out because we don’t have to put our efforts elsewhere to make money.”

Greek Weekend allows fraternities, sororities to bond, create new members By Alex Traczyk Reporter

RON ZEISLOFT | THE BG NEWS

Ladies of Sigma Kappa compete at Greek Sing on Sunday evening at the Stroh.

Chapters from each council of Fraternity and Sorority Life at the University came together on Sunday to celebrate the ending to Greek Weekend at the lip syncing and dance competition Greek Sing. Greek Weekend is all about different fraternities and sororities coming together in randomized teams with a specific theme and celebrating being Greek together. Groups were chosen at random to be partnered

together to compete in the contest. Coming together as a community was a big reason why students were interested in participating. Vice President of Sta nda rds for t he Pa n hel len ic Cou nci l Chani Fordyce said that Greek weekend reminds them why they chose to be Greek. “My favorite part of Greek Sing is the energy,” Fordyce said. “You can literally feel the energy from everyone in the room.” Greek Sing began with

the head members of Greek Fraternities and Sororities recapping the whole weekend and explaining the rules of the competition. Before the actual competition began, the Greek house directors showed off their own moves for the audience to get the ball rolling. Throughout the evening of enthusiastic dances, awards were also given. Awards such as the New Member of the Year Award, t he Facu lt y/Chapter

Fanfiction can go too far DYLANNE PETROS COPY CHIEF

I love “Harry Potter.” Anyone who knows me knows I have read the books more than five times each. They know that “Prisoner of Azkaban” is my favorite, tied with “Order of the Phoenix” and “Deathly Hallows.” They know I have done Pottermore and that I am a Hufflepuff. They know I have read multiple fanfictions that include Harry/Ginny, Harry/Hermione and even Harry/Bellatrix [weirdest story ever] and Harry/Draco. I love Harry Potter fanfiction. Heck, I love fanfiction in general. I was one of those girls in middle school [and part of high school] who had their noses pressed in a notebook, writing stories about characters that I didn’t create; characters I was “borrowing.” What I don’t like, though, are the fanfics that get a lot of attention. Why, you ask? Because the fanfics that get all the attention are turned into actual novels with subpar characters. Let’s take “Fifty Shades of Grey” for example. How many of you knew that it was actually a “Twilight” fanfic? Well, it was. It was first published on fanfiction.net and titled, “Master of the Universe.” By and large it was a BDSM Edward/Bella fanfic, which I could see since the Edward/ Bella pairing is so … controlling and manipulative. After receiving some bad reviews on fanfiction.net, E.L. James took it down and published it on fiftyshades.com. After publish-

ing it on her own site, she then reworked the series and changed Edward to Christian and Bella to Ana. The book became a hit and was called, “Mommy Porn.” The book became such a hit that Hollywood is now making a film starring Jamie Dornan [Christian] and Dakota Johnson [Ana]. “Twilight” isn’t the only book series to be plagiarized. Even my beloved “Harry Potter” has been plagiarized. The book series, “The Mortal Instruments” was originally a Draco/Ginny fanfic. The fanfic was apparently a trilogy. Cassandra Clare, the author of “The Mortal Instruments,” received a lot of hate for many reasons back during her fanfiction days. Even today she is receiving hate for the fact that she plagiarized “Harry Potter” by using Draco Malfoy and Ginny Weasley. Hol ly wood even turned the first “Mortal Instruments” book into a film in 2013 starring Lilly Collins [Clary] and Jamie Campbell Bower [Jace]. As much as I dislike “Twilight” [yes, I have read all of the books] I cannot believe that E.L. James is profiting from her fanfiction work. As much as I love “Harry Potter” I am furious that Cassandra Clare is profiting from her fanfiction work. If you want to write a novel, go ahead. If you want to write fanfics, go ahead. But don’t write fanfics and then change a couple of things around and then claim it is an “original work” and profit off somebody else’s characters.

Lent is time to step away from negativity, make a difference ABIGAIL KRUSE COLUMNIST

For those keeping track at home, Lent already started. Almost three weeks ago, in fact. Perhaps you noticed people walking around with ashes on their foreheads, or perhaps you were one of those people. I was. I have been observing Lent my whole life, and by now, I’m in need of fresh ideas beyond the chocolate thing. So I started nosing around on sites like Lifeteen.com Some of the ideas I found were legitimate, and some were misguided at best and downright foolish at worst. Whether you observe Lent out of earnest or grudging obligation, or see it as a spring cleaning for the soul or simply a second whack at your New Year’s resolutions, there are some things to avoid. You are, of course, free to do whatever you want, but allow me to share some caveats. My f i r st c ate gor y i s r o c k s . Mo s t i nc ident s i nv ol v i n g r o c k s c omi ng i nto c ont ac t w it h t he hu m a n b o d y a r e bad ne w s. The same is true during Lent. Don’t kneel on rocks. Don’t sleep on rocks. And for Pete’s sake, don’t walk around with rocks— or popcorn kernels— in your shoes.

T he ner ves i n you r feet are strong but sensit ive, a nd mist reat ing them is no way to care for your body. Second on the list is cold showers. Most of us are luck y enough to have reg ula r access to water heaters. If you feel the need to remind yourself how blessed you are compared to many others, at least ease yourself into it by turning the water temperature down a little each time. Yes, it might give you a hearty sense of selfdenial, but it’s a shock to your system and your heart must work harder to pump the same amount of blood in order to keep you warm. Lastly is fasting. Some are bound by religious rules to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I admit I have never been a huge fan of fasting, but being a little hungry on fast days doesn’t hurt; it’s a reminder of how lucky I am, going without voluntarily while millions do not have that choice. I have never been one to do extreme fasts, the kind where you don’t eat for days at a time, and I do not recommend it. Try fasting from negativity. Fast from not smiling. Fast from reposting gossipy links and share the good stuff. Whether you are religious or not, use Lent to make the world a better place in doable ways.

and Campus Operations Steve Krakoff said. Because adding more technolog y has raised expenses, a policy called “bring your own laptop” will be implemented during classes in the future to reduce the use of computers on campus. “T h is is somet h i ng that will take five years, but w ill be ef fective,” Ellinger said. As of now there are 1,700 computers filling the 130 computer labs across campus costing $550,000 in electricity a year, Ellinger said. With the new program, Ellinger said the University will begin to remove some of the computers in labs across campus. Some ot her t hings K r a kof f sa id t he University has done to cut costs is put in sustainable light fixtures, lamps and censored lighting and temperature settings. Daylight sensors monitor when natural light enters through the window in a room, dimming or brightening the light when appropriate, Krakoff said. The temperature censor works similarly, but controls the temperature by occupancy in the room. “If there are a lot of people in the room, the temperature will turn down. It can determine what time of the day it is being used the most and least,” Krakoff said. Krakoff and his team will meet with architects when either renovating or constructing new buildings to incorporate better insulation for the windows and walls, as well. Fi na ncia l ly, t hese

changes have been “good pay back being able to save energy and money,” he said. When the University participates in green initiatives such as these, it receives an electric rebate from the city through Efficiency Smart, which provides discounts for energy saving business practices, according to the Efficiency Smart website. On Feb. 10, the city of Bowling Green renewed the contract through 2016 with Efficiency Smart. The contract began in January 2011, according to their website. “We work [with them] to realize potential savings,” said Matt Rubel, energy management coordinator for Campus Operations. “[For example], if we do the lighting in buildings, we receive a rebate.” There is no limit to how many rebates the University can receive for sustainable actions. However, the project determines the price of the rebate, Rubel said. Besides reducing consumption and getting the University rebates, technology also fosters a new way of learning for both students and professors. When Ellinger first came to the University three years ago, he met with professors who usually teach in large lecture halls for nearly three hours at a time to see what technology they wanted to enhance their teaching experience. After meeting with the teachers, Ellinger made changes in relation to the most common requests. Professors can now preset videos and use Canvas more during class, which is one reason Ellinger said teachers enjoy the

upgrade. “Bringing rooms up to date makes them more active than traditional [teaching on a chalk board],” Ellinger said. “The rooms needed to evolve to help teachers do more while teaching by showing a YouTube video on one screen, putting the notes up on another and the syllabus up on another. It has made a big difference.” Education Professor Tim Murnen said using laptops and other devices “allows my classroom to be really interactive, creative with their work and to save it and work on it later.” Murnen creates interfaces that are user-friendly for his students and allows him to “f lip the classroom.” This concept allows professors to assign lecture notes for homework and work on assignments during the class period, Murnen said. “I get more done when I meet with my students in class, which is easier for both of us if they have questions,” Murnen said. While Murnen is one of the professors who were comfortable with the recent expansion, Ellinger said some teachers have expressed concern. Regardless of the rise in the electric bill or concern faculty and staff may have, the growth in technology is what keeps people coming back to the University, Ellinger said. “It’s something people want when learning because students are constantly using it,” he said. “We have to keep up with it or we are behind, which is why the University is trying to provide solutions everyone’s issues so we are all on the same page.”

don’t win, it’s still very rewarding,” Seibt said. Doing Greek Sing is good for making connections with other fraternities and sororities, he said. At the end of the competition, awards were given for the overall Greek Weekend winners and the winners of the Greek Sing competition. The winner of Greek Sing was the group that consisted of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pi Beta Phi and Delta Gamma Theta. The winner of the overall Greek Weekend was The Final Four group, which were Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Delta Tau Delta, Delta Gamma and Phi Beta Sigma with the theme of Light Up the Night. “No matter what our letters are, we are all Greek together,” Seibt said. “It’s good to show that we have support for everyone, not just our specific chapter.”

Adviser of the Year Award and the Academic Excellence Awards were just some of the awards presented. Senior and active member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity Sean Kennedy said his love for dancing and experience last year were reasons why he participated again this year. “Our fraternity really stepped up with our involvement, so I thought it was a great time,” Kennedy said. Kennedy’s group Team Wilson, which included his fraternity, Omega Phi Alpha and Chi Omega, did not place, but he has no regrets from their performance. “Us, Omega Phi Alpha and Chi Omega didn’t really talk as much as we do now, and we probably wouldn’t have with-

out Greek Sing, so coming together was cool,” Kennedy said. Even though ever y group couldn’t win, all of the people in the audience cheered each other on showing their support. After all of the groups performed, there was a moment where the audience had the chance to pick their favorite performance by texting their number to the council. The people’s choice winner was a team including Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pi Beta Phi and Delta Sigma Theta whose theme was Around the World. Delta Chi member Andrew Seibt, participated both this year and last year in Greek Sing and had fun both times. Seibt wasn’t happy about losing, but he said that the teams that won and placed deserved it. “You work so hard for something and even if you

Women’s basketball to host St. Bonaventure in second-round WNIT game at Stroh Center as the team looks to advance in tournament By Tara Jones Assistant Sports Editor

The Falcons have clinched another home game in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament. BG head coach Jennifer Roos said that unlike most other postseason tournaments, the WNIT’s bracket style allows some of the stress of the unknown to be removed. Knowing the Falcons would face either Charlotte or Saint Bonaventure, according to the bracket, scouts were assigned to look at both teams. It was just a matter of which team the Falcons needed to prepare for. The most stressful thing about the process, Roos said, is not knowing whether the team needed to pack its bags and travel to another location or prepare for another home game at the

Stroh. The location of the next game is not decided until after each game has been played. With the Falcons returning to the Stroh, Roos said those home-court advantages definitely help the team out. “You can’t put a price tag on what it feels like to be playing at home compared to playing on the road,” Roos said. Following its 81-62 victory Friday night against Charlotte in the first round of play, Saint Bonaventure University will now come to BG on March 24 at 7 p.m. to face the Falcons in secondround play of the WNIT. Roos said St. Bonaventure, like her team, is one that could have made it into the NCAA tournament as a very talented 20-win team. St. Bonaventure enters Monday’s matchup with a 24-10 overall record and a conference record of 11-5 out of the

BG places 3rd at MAC Championships Gymnastics team falls short of title, Feely earns MAC freshman of year By Grant Crawford Reporter

The Falcon gymnastics team was defeated this past weekend in the Mid-American Conference Championships this Saturday, placing third with a 194.625. Kent State finished second with a 195.125 and Central Michigan placed first with a 196.475. Following with Northern Illinois, Ball State, Eastern and Western Michigan finishing in that order after BG. Head coach Kerrie Turner said she was pleased with her team’s effort. “We received a difficult rotation starting on floor and ending on beam … [but] this team stayed energetic and focused throughout the entire competition … [and] fought for every tenth and I can’t ask much more from them,” Turner said. For the team, this is the best finish they have had in the MAC championship since the 1991 season when they finished third that year as well with a record of 8-6 overall and a 4-2

conference record. Despite the loss, the team continues to improve to build a stronger program, Turner said. “Our program made significant improvement this season,” Turner said. “Our strong finish is respectable and definitely speaks volumes about the hard work we have put in … the returning gymnasts will have a better understanding of the amount of work it takes to be a great program, and I am thankful for this team for making our program stronger.” Along with the third place team finish, the Falcons had some individual success with Lauren Feely winning MAC freshman of the year. Amanda Lievendag won the individual MAC championship on vault and various top six finishes in several of the apparatuses for the gymnasts. With the team season winding down, Turner said she was proud of what her team accomplished this season.

“What a great season it has been,” Turner said. “All of our stats have improved [and] this team has tried to learn from every experience and just get better … really, when our team was together in a focused but very energized environment, we did our best.” For the Falcons, the team season is over but for some individuals it is not, as several BG gymnasts are expected to qualify for NCAA regionals and compete against the very best around the nation. “I do expect we will have a large contingency qualifying as individual competitors to regionals and we look forward to preparing them to compete well at that event,” Turner said. With little hope of a NCAA team birth, the Falcons will find out on Monday, March 24 what individual gymnasts will be representing the team in the regional qualifying round of the NCAA. The NCAA regionals will take place in about two weeks on April 5.

Atlantic-10. The Bonnies got bounced in the semifinal round of the A-10 conference tournament by Fordham, sending them into the WNIT. Roos said that the is less worried about the disappointment from not making the NCAA tournament and is more concerned about finding their footing in the WNIT. She said only playing one game in 12 days has been an issue for the Falcons, needing additional time to get their feet wet and settle down in each game. The Falcons are excited to be returning to the Stroh, Roos said. She said the team always talks about how much fun it is to play at home in front of their loud crowd, saying they feed well off the crowd’s energy and they need that energy. Roos said right now her team is excited to be playing and are excited to see what it to come next.

Women’s tennis rallies to victory, player sets record Chiricosta breaks school record previously held by sister By Trevor Thompson Reporter

The BG tennis team opened MidAmerican Conference play against Western Michigan University on Saturday. The Falcons were down early but rallied to a 4-3 victory. With the help of sophomore Katie Brozovich, senior Nikki Chiricosta broke the school record for doubles victories, which was previously set by her sister Christine Chiricosta. Chiricosta and Brozovich then won their singles matches. Nikki’s singles win broke the record for career wins at BG now with 179 wins another record that was set by Christine when she recorded 178 wins when she played for BG from 2008-2011. Head coach Penny Dean said she is happy for Chiricosta to break the records. “She is such a fighter, and has a nev-

Hockey season ends with loss

By Corey Krupa Reporter

On Friday afternoon, the BG hockey team lost 4-0 to Minnesota State in the semifinal round of the WCHA Final Five in Grand Rapids, Mich. With the loss, the 2013-14 season ends for the Falcons. BG finished with an overall record of 18-15-6. “We put ourselves in a situation where we were competing for a championship, and we didn’t play well,” said head coach Chris Bergeron. BG failed to score a goal for the third time all season, while goaltender Tommy Burke made 23 saves in the playoff loss. In a defensive battle, the Falcons and Mavericks

remained scoreless at the end of the first period. Burke made 14 saves to keep the score at 0-0 going into the second period. The Mavericks broke the scoreless drought 3:52 into the second period from a goal by Chase Grant. Later in the period, the Mavericks doubled their lead with a shorthanded goal at the 12:24 mark from a goal scored by Bryce Gervais. Minnesota State scored two more goals in the third period to put the game away. A short-handed goal by Johnny McInnis at the 10:47 mark gave Minnesota State a 3-0 lead. MSU then added an empty-net goal at the 18:28 mark when the Falcons added an extra attacker in the final two minutes.

The Mavericks went on to defeat the Ferris State Bulldogs 4-1 in the WCHA championship game to win the Broadmoor Trophy. After the championship game, both Minnesota State and Ferris State were selected to compete in the Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship. The Falcons finished the year with their first winning season since the 199697 season. The Falcons also won their fourth consecutive opening round playoff series and hosted a first round playoff series for the first time since the 2007-08 season. “It felt like we were starting to peak at the right time, here at the end. It just shows how important the whole season is,” BG captain Ryan Carpenter said.

The opening round sweep over Michigan Tech was the first time the Falcons swept a playoff series at home. The Falcons also had their best offensive season under Bergeron, finishing the season with 119 total goals and averaging 3.13 goals-per-game. Friday’s game was the final game for BG seniors Brett Mohler, Jake Sloat, Chad Sumsion, Andrew Wallace, Bryce Williamson, Camden Wojtala, Ryan Viselli and Scott Zacharias. “When we got to the CCHA Finals, I don’t think people thought we were going there to win,” Bergeron said. “When we got on the bus to come to Grand Rapids, our intent was to win this thing and get to the national tournament.”

Softball earns three victories in weekend tournament at Baltimore Falcons to have first home game next to begin MAC play By Aaron Parker Reporter

The Falcons finished their last regular-season tournament of the year this past weekend in Baltimore. They come back to BG with a record of 9-14-1, earning 3 wins during the weekend. The team, which was struggling on offense, turned it around and scored a total of 20 runs in 4 games. The first two wins were a sweep against Mount St. Marys University. The first of the two recorded a 1-0 score, with the only run

coming from a RBI single by senior captain Erika Stratton in the top of the first inning. The second game was an offensive explosion and the Falcons tied their season high in runs with a 9-5 victory to end the first day. Six different players had at least one hit in the game. Freshman Amanda Durham and seniors Katie Yoho and Stratton led the game offensively for the team. Durham was threefor-four at the plate and recorded two RBI’s while Yoho went two-for-four with one RBI. Stratton would

ultimately give the Falcons the win, going three-forfour and hitting a three-run homer in the sixth to give the Falcons a 9-5 lead. The next day the team split the games 1-1 with a loss to Sacred Heart and a win against St. Peters University. The win against St. Peters came with an early dominant performance scoring eight runs after only two innings to give the Falcons a 8-0 lead. The scoring was again lead by seniors Stratton and

TENNIS From Page 6 set, recording a 6-0 victory and gave BG the overall point. Brozovich won a thriller against Meika Ashby as she lost the first set 6-3, but she battled back to win the second set 6-4. With the set tied at five games, Brozovich had the match point on several occasions, but Ashby fought back every single time to keep

the match going. Ashby then made it 5-4 but Brozovich won two straight to win the match and give the falcons the overall win. “This was a great win,” said Dean. “We are a young team, and were probably the underdog today, as Western was picked higher in the league.” Dean has hope for Brozovich. “There were so many momentum swings within

sets, and even within games. But, KB is all heart, and she is a great person to have on the court when you need to win that last point,” Dean said. With the win the Falcons improve to 6-4 and the Broncos drop to 11-6. The Falcons will head to Toledo next weekend to face the Rockets on March 28 before traveling to Michigan to face Eastern Michigan March 29. Both matches are set to start at 1 p.m.

BG Baseball player swings at a pitch in one of the Falcons’ games this past season.

Baseball drops three games during weekend By Brett Creamer Assistant Sports Editor

The Falcons were unable to pick up a victory against the Ball State Cardinals in the three-game series this weekend. The Falcons dropped game one on Friday afternoon to the Cardinals 9-5, then lost a pair of one-run games on Saturday’s double header, 3-2 and 4-3. In spite of Friday’s loss, the Falcons outhit the Cardinals 15 to 12 in the first game of the series. Seven Falcons had multiple hits, but it was left fielder Jake Thomas who led the charge with three hits. Jason Link threw four and a third innings and career-high five strikeouts to keep the Falcons in the ball game, but it was not

enough to earn the Falcons their first Mid American Conference victory. On Saturday’s matinee the Falcons’ ninth inning rally fell just one run short. With two outs in the ninth inning trailing 3-0, the orange and brown mustered up a comeback. Senior Jeremy Shay doubled in Greg Baslayga and Brian Bien to make the score 3-2. With two outs and Shay in scoring position, Losby grounded out to Ball State shortstop Elbert Devarie and the Falcons dropped the first game of the double header 3-2. Despite the tough loss, Falcon pitcher Mike Frank went seven and two thirds innings allowing three earned runs and striking out four Cardinals. Frank’s 178 career strikeouts put him on

Yoho. Yoho had four RBI’s and Stratton had two RBI’s on top of a two-run homer in the first inning. Freshman Trista Mokienko also had a home run in the first inning, giving the Falcons a commanding 4-0 lead. Yoho hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the

eighth for school history. In the last game of the series, the Falcons comeback would yet again fall short. Bowling Green scored one run in the ninth, but it was not enough as they fell 4-3 to Ball State. For the second time in the same day, the Cardinals starter threw eight plus innings. Second baseman Logan Walker finished three for four with one RBI. Even though the Falcons outhit the Cardinals two out of three games this weekend, they found themselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard every game. With a 6-15 record the Falcons are still looking to pick up their first MAC victory this season when they travel to the University of Toledo on Tuesday for a 3 p.m. first pitch.
