New business model may bring layoffs 4By Owen Price staff writer
The USU Division of Student Services was selected to test and refine a new business model which will be applied to the entire university within the next few years. Vice President of Student Services James Morales said the model will consolidate the currently scattered responsibilities of overseeing business services, such as managing human resources or organizing travel. The changes are meant to increase the efficiency of these processes. “There were approximately twenty-one people across the division across our 17 depart-
ments that were doing some sort of business services work,” Morales said. “Not all of them were doing it as 100 percent of their job, but as some percentage of their job ... We realized that wasn’t an efficient model, and as we’re rolling out this new model, we have a chance to consolidate things and create a new unit.” According to Morales, development of the new model began with USU President Stan Albrecht and the Vice President for Business and Finance, Dave Cowley. Morales had been independently considering implementing similar changes in the division of student services. “So when we realized that the university was heading in the di-
rection that we had already identified was good for our division to head, we jumped right in line and said, ‘We want to be first, we want to be first, take us,’ and so we became the pilot area officially for the university to roll out this model,” Morales said. He said because some of the responsibilities of the 21 employees are being consolidated, those employees will be laid off. “The promise from the president when he rolled out the model and from VP Cowley is that no one would lose their job in this process, and so we as a division have held to that very closely and no one has lost their job,” Morales said. However, the implementation
of the business model was a likely factor in the resignation of two employees affected by the changes. “You know change is change, and people who have been used to doing something a certain way for many years would look at a new model and say, ‘Well, you know, that’s not what I signed up for, and that’s okay,’” Morales said. “They can make the decision and say, ‘It doesn’t work for me.’” The finance officer directing the unit created by the new model, Taya Flores, met with the department heads within the Division of Student Services. “What we noticed when we met with all of the depart-
ments is that we’re growing in every way possible in student services,” Flores said. “So by taking the business transaction part out of their departments and making it more unified, it opens up opportunities for them to pursue other goals and to enhance their programs.” Morales said after the new model is introduced to the Division of Student Services, there will be an undetermined amount of time for the model to be evaluated. Any problems will be corrected before it is implemented to the rest of the university. Although most of the division will not begin to operate under the new model until the first of January, Student Involvement has
already begun to implement the changes. “We have one of the largest departments as far as financially because we have all of our student leaders, all of the Statesman, radio, all of the different accounts in student involvement, and so we are the first to try this within our division,” said Linda Zimmerman, executive director of Student Involvement. “… There’s obviously a transition of people doing different jobs, but in the end, I think it’s going to be a very positive thing.”

Cop security doubles at Halloween bash, so do alcohol arrests 4By Taylor Underwood staff writer
USU/SA hosted the annual Howl Halloween party in the Taggart Student Center on Saturday. All 6,000 tickets were sold. Attendees listened to Luna Luna, Shiny Toy Guns and had their fortune told. Student Klint Cardinal, a freshman majoring in biology attending the Howl for the first time, said it held up to his expectation. “I’m really good friends with Thomas Rodgers, who is the student in charge of the dances,” Cardinal said. “So I expected a lot cause he hyped it up a lot, so I expected it to be the ‘biggest Halloween party west of the Mississippi,’ and it looks like it is.” Sydney Curtis, a sophomore majoring in human and family life development, had a simpler reason for attending. “I like dressing up,” Curtis said. Despite the festivities, police
arrested 30 party-goers. According to Sgt. Travis Dunn of the USU Police Department, the amount of arrests increased dramatically this year compared to the previous two. “In 2011 there was 23 arrests, none of which were students,” Dunn said. “In 2012 there were 22 arrests and three were students, and this year there were 30 arrests, which include some from undercover state police, and eight arrests were students.” In previous years, USU Police and Logan city Police attended the event. The Cache County Sheriff and Utah Highway Patrol joined forces to provide extra security this year. All of the arrests were linked to alcohol. “There were 20 incidents pertaining to alcohol laws, intoxication, MIP with alcohol, disturbing the peace,” Dunn said. “Some of the incidents

Seafood featured for USU Food Day 4By Amanda Grover
USU celebrated its third annual National Food Day on Thursday, focusing on sustainable seafood. Dining Services and 12 seniors in the advanced dietetics practicum class partnered to plan an event aimed at studying seafood. Dietetics clinical professor Tamara Steinitz said this year’s theme, “The Deep Blue Goes Green,” dove into three areas — fishy concerns, fishy choices and fishy cooking. Sustainable fishing is a concern many students on this campus have not considered, according to Alan Andersen, director of Dining Services. “It matters where fish comes from,” Andersen said. “It’s important to us in Logan.” Steinitz said the team hoped to educate students to raise staff writer
awareness. Displays and demonstrations were designed to inform students about how to buy fish, package terms, what types to eat, easy cooking methods and ways to use leftover fish. Steinitz developed the idea of a sustainable seafood theme while spending her summer in Port Orford, Ore., where she met fishermen practicing longfishing. She approached Andersen with the idea and he and three chefs traveled to Port Orford. They met with fishermen and returned home with new cooking methods and an awareness of sustainable seafood. Andersen said the fish served for Food Day included king salmon, halibut, black cod and ling cod — all fished in Port Orford. They were caught on Sunday and frozen and shipped to Logan on Wednesday. “We had fish to feed about
400,” Andersen said. Each hour, Dining Service chefs demonstrated simple cooking methods and had students sample the product. He said it created an opportunity for Dining Services to lend support to the academic side of the college experience and to work directly with dietetic students. Andersen said they perform lab work in the Junction kitchens. Food Day was just another chance to work with the students and to help educate everyone on campus. “I thought it was awesome,” said Nathan Coonen, a senior majoring in environmental engineering. “It’s really great to build awareness of fishing

Flames on Old Main burn worker 4By Taylor Underwood

The USU Police Department and Logan city Police and Fire Departments responded to a report of a fire shortly before 5 p.m. Saturday near Old Main Hill in the rock garden on the north side of the Living Learning Center. Five students were laying down a tar chemical mixture as a service project for a class. The mixture was laid down on top of the existing tar to protect it during the upcoming winter months. “The tar just got a little hot,” a worker at the scene said. The mixture became unbalanced and caught fire, burning a student’s arm and igniting a dry bush. Another other student attempted to put out the fire with dirt but was also burned in the process. Fire crews contained the fire in a matter of minutes. “This turned out to be a pretty small matter,” Dunn said.

USU professor on Gov. Herbert’s clean air task force
Robert Gillies, a professor in the College of Agriculture and Applied Sciences and director of the Utah Climate Center, was recently appointed as a climate expert to Utah Gov. Gary Herbert’s Clean Air Action Team. The team, announced by Herbert Oct. 15, includes 38 experts in diverse areas, including industry, healthcare, government and education. They will meet 10 times during the next year to come up with ways to address Utah’s growing air pollution problem. “The big issue is that this is really affecting the quality of life for many Utahns,” Gillies said. With expertise in climatology of the Intermountain West, Gillies is part of the panel’s academic team and will provide recommendations on how to keep the air clean and not impair health, he said.
Music department releases two albums USU’s Department of Music has released two new albums — “Aggie Songs,” full of USU spirit, and “Devotion,” a collection of sacred choral music. “These albums show the energy and creativity of students and faculty here at USU,” said Cory Evans, director of the choral program in the Caine College of the Arts and associate professor. “I encourage all to purchase these and help us keep recording the music that needs to be heard.” The project brought together various people across campus for “Aggie Songs,” an album featuring the famous songs and chants of USU, ranging from the Old Main tower bell to “The Scotsman.” “Devotion” features the USU Chamber Singers, an ensemble composed of 30 students who perform a wide range of choral styles and periods in appearances locally, regionally and nationally. “Devotion” is available for purchase at the Caine College of the Arts Box Office, located in the Chase Fine Arts Center room 139-B, or through iTunes and Amazon. “Aggie Songs” will be available for purchase beginning the last week of October, as well as on iTunes and Amazon.

USU wins national bike challenge 4By Sarah Menlove staff writer
It took 91,075 miles for USU to win first place in the college/university division of the National Bike Challenge. The competition ran from May 1 to Sept. 30 and required competitors to log every mile they rode on their bikes. USU assistant abilities coordinator Alexi Lamm heard about the nationwide competition and thought it would be a good fit for the university. “It’s a great competition because it’s fun, helps reduce carbon, saves gas money and it’s healthy,” Lamm said. Throughout the five-month competition, USU students and employees managed to accumulate more points than any other university in the country. “I think it shows that we care about our health, our environment and this great city,” said Dayna Berrett, wellness coordinator for USU. Aggie Blue Bikes, the USU Sustainability Council and the Employee Wellness Program collaborated to make the competition possible.
“They helped us recruit people,” Lamm said. “We had more than 200 people sign up.” Berrett recruited employees to participate in the challenge and encouraged them to form teams to add some competition between university departments. “I think because we kind of had an internal competition going on within the university, it drove people to get more miles,” Berrett said. Team AGRS — agricultural science — biked the most miles as a team and the public relations and marketing team had the most miles averaged per person. Aggie Blue Bikes provided prizes for the winning teams and individuals. According to Blue Bikes Program Coordinator Stephanie Tomlin, prizes included new mountain bike tires, grocery panniers, blinking bike-lights, free bike tune-ups and bike tool-kits. “The monthly prizes were to keep people incentivized to keep riding,” Tomlin said. “It was a fun way to keep people motivated.” According to Lamm, cyclists registered on a website called endomondo.

According to Steinitz, about 40 percent of food in the U.S. is wasted. The event encouraged students to spend less on food, waste less and create less waste from eating.

com to track their miles. “Competitors could track their miles manually, or there is a smartphone app that’ll do it for you,” she said. “You get 20 points for every day you ride at least a mile, plus one point for every mile.” According to Lamm, the majority of the participants were employees because most USU students were on summer break. “In the future, hopefully more stu-

dents will register, but I think we’d just like more people to participate overall,” she said. “We don’t care who it is; the idea is to get more people on bikes.” Tomlin said the competition revealed there is a strong cycling community that exists at USU. “I guess it’s one of those things that whether we realize it or not, it’s very present at the university,” she said. “A lot of those miles were commuting miles, so it’s kind of like a silver lining. We have really horrible air quality here, and it’s refreshing to see that people are using carbon-free forms of transportation. It shows we can rally behind something we all care about.” Berrett said USU plans to continue this competition in the future because she believed it was a success. “If we were able to get a few more people caring about the environment and about their health, that means it was a successful event,” she said. “Next year, we’ll just add to it.” – Sarah.Men@aggiemail.usu.edu

Man talks about unveiling of Bernie Madoff 4By Marissa Neeley staff writer
The Jon M. Huntsman School’s Partner in Business Accounting Conference featured Frank Casey — the man who exposed Bernie Madoff — as the keynote speak-
er. Casey told the tale of his nineyear attempt to convince the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme on Thursday at the Eccles Conference Center. He is often featured at events to speak
about how the fraud led to the exposure of many failures in the financial industry. Madoff was sentenced in 2009 to 150 years in prison for what the New York Times called the “largest, longest and most widespread Ponzi scheme in history.” “A Ponzi scheme is a type of fraud where investors put money into a non-existent business or asset in hopes of high returns,” said Dr. Nate Stephens, a USU business professor. “The fraudster promises big returns and usually pays the first investors high returns with subsequent investor’s money.” Stephens said Madoff was lying about telling people he was investing their money — he made it look successful. Casey said Madoff developed the computerized over-thecounter trading systems, became chairman of NASDAQ and traded somewhere between 5 and 10 percent of the total volume of the U.S. stock markets every day. “This man was a monster, a big dog on the street,” Casey said. “You don’t go after this guy calling him a fraudster, let alone a Ponzi operator, without putting your career right on the line.” Dr. Christopher Skousen, asso-
ciate professor in the school of accountancy, said those who invested with Madoff lost a p p r ox i - CASEY mately $18 billion. In 1999 Harry Markopolos and Casey met Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, former president for Credit Lyonnaise USA, a French bank. Villehuchet was one the biggest investors in Madoff’s organization. Casey questioned Villehuchet about who he was giving his money to. Madoff had been researched by Villehuchet’s company and checked out as credible. After diving deep into Villehuchet’s finances, Casey and Markopolos realized there was fraud. The duo submitted eight pages of research to the Security and Exchange Commission and they didn’t respond. “We call every news publication we can think of,” Casey said. “Not one will take it; no smok-

We start looking for an investigative reporter who is willing to risk their career.” Michael Ocrant, an investigative reporter, started looking into the issue and Madoff contacted him. Ocrant assumed Casey was wrong about his assumption because Madoff was calm and collected about his answers. The trading volume allowed on the stock exchange floor at the time wouldn’t support more than $5 billion. When Ocrant asked Madoff if he was running $10 billion through the floor, he admitted to $7 billion. That’s when they knew he was running a scheme. On Dec. 11, 2008, Madoff admitted to a $50 billion Ponzi scheme. Casey asked Villehuchet what would happen with the money he invested with Madoff. “If you are right, then I am a dead man,” Villehuchet said. “I have all my money in it, most of my family money, every private wealth management bank from most of my career and half the royalty of Europe in it.” Villehuchet lost $1.4 billion in 2008 and committed suicide in his office. Casey said he took himself out the way he did to atone for his sins of omission. “It is truly amazing that Madoff was able to make this fraud last as long as it did,” Skousen said. “The government agencies, particularly the SEC, failed to recognize what was in the information that Mr. Casey shared with them.” – marissa.neeley@aggiemail. usu.edu

After becoming one of the 2013 class of Nobel Laureates, Lars Peter Hansen, a 1974 graduate from USU, took a moment to respond to a few questions sent his way by The Utah Statesman. Utah Statesman: What was your initial reaction? Lars Peter Hansen: First I wanted to make sure this was real. I was very surprised and did not expect it. I feel very lucky. US: Who was your biggest influence? LPH: Some of my biggest influences were my former teachers, Thomas J. Sargent and Christopher Sims, who shared the Nobel Prize in 2011. As a graduate student at the University of Minnesota in the 1970s, I was a research assistant for both: Sims became my advisor and Sargent was a member of my dissertation committee. Since then, Sims, who teaches at Princeton University, has had a major influence

He was asked to come peacefully with the police, but the subject tried to run. “We were in a wrestling match prior to that,” Dunn said. “He was under arrest and he tried to run. Resiting arrest is another class B misdemeanor. He just bought a ticket to go to jail. He was just an underage drinker that wanted to try to fight to resist arrest and just run.” Being almost dragged halfway through the TSC tends to get students’ attention, according to Kevin Bial, a senior majoring in technology engineering and education. “I have no idea what he was

I’ve also learned a lot from my colleagues here at the University of Chicago. I’ve had Gary Becker, Robert Lucas and Jim Heckman as role models, and benefitted from the insights of many others. Also, I’ve been very lucky to have a long list of very good graduate students over the years. You might think that graduate students show respect for their advisors.

There’s a lot more drunk people here that probably won’t be caught, you just see it. The cops can’t figure out who’s drunk and who’s not when everyone’s in the crowd. I figure you have to be really, really drunk to get in trouble.” Jacob Scott, a lead volunteer majoring in communication studies, said the biggest difficulty he faced was dealing with the number of students. An incident he dealt with involved a man wearing a Teletubbie suit who had been drinking. Within 40 seconds five police officers arrived, followed by three more officers.
the economy as a whole. The questions that fascinate me look at sets of circumstances where investors have rational beliefs about their choices and where they are uncertain and worried about risks in the future. I’m interested in how that uncertainty and risk aversion gets coded into asset prices. One thing that interests me now is that people are rushing to create policies to regulate the financial system and manage risks to the economy, but we’re doing this without very much information. I’m involved in leading a couple interconnected research initiatives at the Becker Friedman Institute where we’re trying to develop better models and tools to measure and monitor those systemic risks and understand the impact the uncertainty on the nation’s fiscal situation. – zach.oldroyd@aggiemail.usu.edu

It seems like you just get a group of crazy ones every once in a while.” Dunn and many volunteers hoped that seeing both students and non-students being arrested would make an impression on what is and is not acceptable behavior. “I hope it has a good influence on them, because I think most of the arrests that particular night didn’t get put in handcuffs,” Dunn said. “We were very cooperative. We were nice. We asked them to come peacefully. It’s just the uncooperative ones that got put in handcuffs.”

Walking with pumpkins: Continuing a 30-year-old North Logan tradition In 1983, North Logan resident Ida Beutler wanted to create something fun for Halloween. She came up with the idea to display pumpkins on her farm and hold a Pumpkin Walk. She got her neighbors and friends involved. Along with the displays, Ida baked cookies for those who came. Ida continued to display scenes on her farm, but the event got so big, she couldn’t hold it at the farm anymore. The city of North Logan did not want to get rid of the tradition, so they decided to help Ida out.
Now held at Elk Ridge Park since 1991, this tradition still carries on, but Pepperidge Farm now provides all of the cookies each year. There are many volunteers who help make the Pumpkin Walk possible. Gina Worthen, who is in charge of media and publicity for the Pumpkin Walk, said there are about 15 people on the core committee and hundreds of volunteers. Worthen, who has volunteered at the Pumpkin Walk for the past 17 years, said volunteers are used for many different tasks, ranging from setting up electrical equip-
ment and pumpkin scenes to carving pumpkins. “Usually, we have anywhere from 500-800 pumpkins that are set out that are carved and lit,” Worthen said. “So we have hundreds of volunteers.” Worthen said the volunteers make the Pumpkin Walk possible. “The city has become more involved,” said MarLyn Mckinley, a 23-year volunteer. “It grew and grew and grew with the park.” The Pumpkin Walk is a popular activity in Logan each Halloween. Thousands of people attend the Pumpkin Walk each year, and

it is a family tradition for many. Worthen said she’s spoken with families who have scheduled their family reunions to coincide with the Pumpkin Walk. Millville resident Tera Smith said her family attends the Pumpkin Walk every year. “When I was little we would come, and I’m 29,” Smith said. “I’ve brought my kids every year.” – Samantha.sk.behl@aggiemail. usu.edu

From Page 5 at the end of the film. Since it is a spoiler, I will not reveal what it is exactly. I will say it has to do with people pushing Carrie so far that horrific things happen. Another good performance is Ansel Elgort in his debut role as Tommy Ross. Though his performance is not the most outstanding, he does a very good job considering it is his film debut. He has a likeability and charm that reminds me of Shia LaBeouf. Chloe Grace Moretz does a good job in her portrayal as the title character. She is very believable as the broken outcast. When she is at prom, she really seems to be having a good time. When everything goes wrong, she does a great job at making it believable. There are some problems with the direction done by Kimberly Peirce. The most noticeable is the use of instant replay. At least two different scenes showed something happen, and then it happened two more times. I can understand why Peirce does this: it is to emphasize how important this action is. However, it is a little annoying. Carrie’s mom is not the only person who is one-dimensional. The high school students who are in on Chris’s plan to humiliate Carrie are also that way. Their motivations do not seem very fleshed out, and in the end they just seem like rotten kids. This may have more to do with the acting than anything. This movie suffers in that the high schoolers are all beautiful people who were obviously hired because of their physical appearance. It seems like the casting director was not as concerned about their acting talent. I give this movie three out of five stars. It does have its share of problems, but I can understand why.

and some of the actors are fairly new. Despite these flaws, there is a powerful anti-bullying message that comes with the movie. I would have given this movie three-and-a-half stars, but because of the blatant anti-Christian message, I lowered it. For those who want to know if you should see this one in theatres or see the original on Netflix, I watched that version as well. This new version is definitely better. I may be a little biased because it is a much older movie. There are some scenes that are word-forword the same, but the style is a lot more archaic. If you decide to watch the original, be warned that there are at least two scenes of full-frontal female nudity. If that does not bother you, go ahead and watch it. I would not necessarily recommend seeing this movie in theatres, but it is definitely worth a look when it comes to Redbox. Content: Rated R. There is some graphic violence. A couple disturbing scenes depict self-mutilation. One scene shows a couple engaged in intercourse, but there is no nudity. There is a little sexual content besides that. There is some language, including a few F-words.
dating. It’s hard to be comfortable with being single. It’s like we have a satellite full of options, but the dating channel is the only one we watch. Look at the number of internet articles and books devoted to telling us how to behave in front of the girl you like, how to get the guy to call, how to get people to like you and how to not die alone. Sometimes it feels like our lifestyle is created for us by magazines and other media that tell us we’re nothing if we’re not dating someone. But, surprise; it really is OK to be single.

Observatory From Page 4 “I love looking up at the stars and seeing how much is out there,” Dansie said. “There’s still just so much that we can’t see. It’s fun.” Dansie pointed out the constellations of Orpheus, his lyre —a stringed instrument — and the eagle who, according to legend, brought the instrument up to the sky after he died. Dansie also pointed the telescope to a ring nebula, describing it as looking like “the ghost of a small Cheerio.” Many attendees said they really enjoyed having the opportunity to move the telescope around themselves and find their own wonders in the sky. But the largest of the telescopes was pointed at the Andromeda galaxy, the closest galaxy to our Milky Way, made up of 1 trillion stars. Byron Ray, a USU student and member of the Cache Valley Astronomical Society, said he came to the event to take advantage of one of the few nights when the observatory is open to more than just the astronomy students. His organization is dedicated to gazing at the stars and Ray said he looks forward to establishing an on-campus branch. “We’ve had to do some reorganizing, but we just held elections for officers, and we should be

Ray said it’s usually too cold for much outside stargazing during the winter months, but once spring comes, the club takes trips to Beaver Mountain Ski Resort and other locations to get away from all the the light of the city and allow the members a chance to look up at the clear
night sky through their telescopes. The next scheduled astronomy night will be held from 7:30-9:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8. Any interested students are welcome to attend, and any changes or cancellations will be posted on the USU events calendar webpage.

Utah State offense rolls in exhibition win 4By Curtis Lundstrom sports editor
Samantha Behl photo
FRESHMAN JALEN MOORE puts up a shot during Utah State’s 108-88 win over Central Methodist University on Friday at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
The Utah State men’s basketball team came away with a 108-88 win over Central Methodist University in its first exhibition of the season, but head coach Stew Morrill wasn’t pleased. “Obviously, we’ve got a long way to go defensively,” Morrill said. “I don’t remember the last time in an exhibition game we gave up those kind of numbers in points, field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage, number of threes, guys getting beat of the dribble, guys getting threes shot in their face, all of the things that we have emphasized.” The Aggies allowed the Eagles to shoot 56.3 percent for the game, including 65.2 percent in the second half. Central Methodist also shot a blistering 61.9 percent from 3-point range. USU also committed 27 fouls in the contest, which Morrill said is no excuse. “Oh yeah, they’re going to call it tight, but that’s just a cop out,” Morrill said. “You can’t move your
feet, you can’t get a hand on a shooter. They’re going to call it really tight and that’s definitely what’s going on out there, but that’s a cop out for us. That just was horrendous; I don’t know any other word.” Fortunately for the Aggies, an offensive onslaught kept them one step ahead and USU avoided its first exhibition loss in six years. Senior guard Preston Medlin, back from a wrist injury that caused him to miss half of last season, showed why he is considered the team leader with his performance, putting up 22 points and six assists — both team-highs — while committing no turnovers or fouls. “It’s awesome; it was fun to be back in the Spectrum, just to actually to get out there and play. It’s so much fun, and I just love Utah State,” Medlin said. “I started shooting again in the gym in June. It’s just like riding a bike or tying your shoes it comes back, the hand feels great.” Fellow senior Spencer Butterfield also broke the 20-point plateau, finishing with 20 points on 7-of-9 shooting while dishing
out four assists, while Jarred Shaw added 15 points. “I think we’ve got a lot of different guys who can score. I don’t think it always has to be those three. It gives us a pretty good set of guys who night-in-and-nightout might be able to score, but I think we’ve got some depth coming off the bench,” Morrill said. “Offensively we’re OK right now, we’re OK. I think we’re going to rebound the ball pretty well because we’re pretty active on the glass. Defensively though, we’ve got light years to go and not very much time to do it.” Danny Berger and Jalen Moore each finished with 10 points to give USU five players in double-digits. The Aggies return to the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1 against Adams State for their second and final exhibition game. The regular season begins at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 at home against the University of Southern California.

Aggies climb MWC standings after pair of weekend wins 4By Logan Jones staff writer
A balanced attack and a career night from sophomore Elle Brainard led Utah State past visiting UNLV Saturday night for a 3-1 victory at home, extending the Aggies’ winning streak to five straight matches. Brainard registered a careerhigh 21 kills to lead the Aggie offense, with juniors Rachel Orr and Kaitlyn VanHoff and senior Tumua Etimani each contributing double-digit kills in the hard-fought victory. “I thought Elle did a great job with that matchup,” said USU head coach Grayson DuBose. “It was favorable for her and worked out well for her where she could go make nice, high attacks. Especially in the second and third games, I thought she did a really nice job.” Brainard wasn’t the only
Aggie to reach a new career mark; junior Ashlan RogersCourt led the match with 23 digs, becoming the fifth USU player to total 1,000 career digs. Rogers-Court needs four more to be fourth all-time in the school’s history. “She’s a great kid. She’s worked hard to make herself a better passer and a better leader,” DuBose said. “It’s always come naturally for her, so it was only a matter of time. It’s good to have her eclipse that mark. It’s a testament to her work ethic and her teammates. They all have her back and it’s fun to watch.” A season-high 1,268 fans Randy Golding photo were treated to a thrilling JUNIOR SETTER PAIGE NEVES sets middle blocker Alyssa opening set in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum, which fea- Everett during Utah State’s 3-1 win over UNLV on Saturday at the tured eight lead changes and Dee Glen Smith Spectrum. 17 tie scores.

winning a second straight set until the Aggies unloaded a 9-1 run to take the second set 25-22, tying the game at one set apiece. USU squared off with UNLV in a tough third set, which saw the visitors in the driver’s seat early once again with a 13-9 lead. Orr then delivered two straight kills and the Aggies found momentum, igniting a 13-6 run and putting USU up by three late in the set. After several tense volleys and two timeouts, VanHoff ended the set for USU with a definitive spike, and the home team never looked back. The Aggies showed no signs of letting up, opening the fourth set in dominant fashion by building a 7-1 lead with strong offense and a pair of blocks. The Rebels looked flat-footed and unprepared for the Aggies’ re-energized offense, which seemed to spread throughout USU’s entire lineup; five different
players recorded kills in the fourth set. UNLV trailed 21-10 before making its final push to get back in this game, but it proved to be too little, too late. Orr drove home a game-winning kill to seal the victory and preserve the Aggies’ longest winning streak of the season. The victory lifts USU into a four-way tie for second place in the Mountain West Conference after the Aggies also defeated San Diego State on Thursday in straight sets. Utah State improved to 15-7 overall and 7-3 in conference play, with three of its past five wins coming via sweep. USU’s homestand continues at 7 p.m. on Thursday against visiting Wyoming then finishes up at 7 p.m. Saturday at home against the MWC’s top team in Colorado State.

minute. It was the Aggies’ only shot on goal. Both Brooksby and Amber McCalson had breakaways in the second half where they slipped past defenders to have a chance at scoring, but neither got a shot off. “San Diego State was the better team today,” Coach Cairns said. “But I like our chances of them again when we get them in the tournament, if that happens.” Utah State 0, New Mexico 0
assistant sports editor
The Utah State women’s soccer team hosted a pair of matches over the weekend. The Aggies fought to a draw with New Mexico and fell to San Diego State. San Diego St. 2, Utah State 0 Utah State took on Mountain West Conference leader San Diego State on Sunday. The Aggies suffered their first loss in over two weeks, falling 2-0 to the Aztecs at Chuck and Gloria Bell Field. San Diego State’s Haley Palmer scored two goals in the game, the first of which came in the 18th minute from 22 yards out. Palmer’s shot found it’s way past a diving Natalie Stoven in the top left corner. With the goal, the Aggies were playing from behind for the first time in more than 560 minutes. “It’s hard playing down 1-0, but I think the girls fought,” said USU head coach Heather Cairns. “We were a little disjointed. The number of players we have injured changes the way we sub. At the same time, we had some good players step up into some roles.” USU forced two consecutive corner kicks in the 22nd minute. The second corner found senior Mari Miyashiro, who was pulled down in the box before she could get a shot off. The incident resulted in a penalty kick taken by

Rose. Her shot missed wide right and proved to be the Aggies’ best chance in the first half for a goal. Palmer got her second goal in the 54th minute off a set piece from 19 yards away from the goal, hooking it around Aggie defenders and into the net. Stoven had a stellar game,
recording a career-high 12 saves in the game. However, the two goals were the first two shots that found their way past Stoven in her collegiate career. “I’ve gained confidence, but it’s all because of my defense,” said Stoven on her shutdown start to her collegiate career. “They
have been solid, so I haven’t had to do a ton of stuff. They have been really solid the last couple of games and made it easy for me.” USU did have other opportunities. Jessica Brooksby found her way through multiple defenders to rip a shot on goal in the 47th
USU’s women’s soccer team battled New Mexico to a tie Friday in Logan. New Mexico was tied for first in the Mountain West standings with one week left in the regular season going into the match. The Aggies played a sloppy first half with limited opportunities. However, they came back with an added intensity in the second half. “Let’s face it; the first 45 wasn’t our best half of soccer,” Cairns said. “To be able to turn that around and get some confidence and start putting them under some pressure was important.” Junior Kylie Dibb put up the Aggies’ first shot on frame in the 47th minute. USU pressured the Lobo defense from then on. The Aggies had eight shots in the second half, five of which were on target. McCalson fired a set piece from just outside the box in the 76th minute that ricocheted off the goalkeeper’s hands and
hit the cross bar. Senior Shay Haddow also saw her shot hit the crossbar in the 81st minute. “At halftime, I just told everybody that we need to fight,” Haddow said. “That’s what we did in the second half. We just fought. Every single person fought, and we stayed in the game. It was just a good, hardfought match.” Brooksby had a great opportunity off a set piece from 24 yards out from the goal, but the ball was bobbled and eventually smothered by the goalkeeper. The Aggies managed to collect three corner kicks in the second overtime, the last of which found senior Taryn Rose, who put a shot on target as the game was ending. The shutout was the fourth straight for the Aggies and the ninth on the season. It was the fourth for redshirt freshman goalkeeper Natalie Stoven, who collected four saves in the game. “It’s a whole team effort,” said Rose. “The defense has figured it out, but we wouldn’t be able to do anything without the whole team. It starts with the pressure from our forwards to the saves of our goalkeeper.” The weekend took the Aggies’ record to 9-6-3 overall and 5-3-1 in conference play. The Aggies take on Boise State at 3 p.m. in Logan on Friday in their last game of the regular season before the MWC Tournament starts.

Hockey
Sun Devils sneak past Aggies in physical contest 4By Eric Jungblut copy editor
After sweeping the BYU Showcase Oct. 17-19 in Provo, the USU hockey team returned home to face Arizona State on Friday. The Aggies fell to the Sun Devils 6-4. “I thought we really played well. We did,” said USU head coach Jon Eccles. “The score was not indicative of the game and how it ended. We had a good first period. They got a couple good goals, we answered quickly. Some penalties kind of creeped in.” The Aggies have a scrappy history with ASU. The Sun Devils came to Logan last year for a two-game series on Oct. 18-19. The Aggies swept the Devils, but the series was highlighted by a large fight on the ice during the Oct. 18 game. “There was some bad blood last year, and...it was a disci-
pline issue where we needed to be a little more disciplined last year, whereas this year I thought we did much better,” Eccles said. The game got physical early. Aggie defenseman JoJo Chase got into a wrestling match with ASU’s Mitch Lyons in the first period, which got both players tossed from the game. ASU took advantage of the situation almost immediately when wingman Jason Kuta put the puck past USU goalie Bryce Scherschel to give the Devils a 1-0 lead. USU responded with a slapshot goal from defenseman Shaun Gibbons with 5:07 remaining in the first, but ASU put up two more goals before the end of the period to go into the locker room with a 3-1 lead. The scoring got started in the second period with a goal by Aggie center Stu Hepburn, but ASU would pad their lead with a power play goal by

half the game in the box,” said forward Chris Videto. “It’s pretty hard to win when you’re down a man over half
the game. I thought when we were five-on-five we were all over them, dominating them, but I think it’d be a different story if we hadn’t spent that much time in the box.” There were 19 penalties in the game, and the Aggies accounted for 12 of them. Things got interesting toward the end of the third period. Hepburn scored his second goal of the game with 5:30 remaining, and less than two minutes later, defenseman Aaron Ward found the back of the net to pull the Aggies within a goal at 5-4. USU pulled Scherschel to gain a man advantage in the waning seconds of the game, but Kuta turned the puck back down the ice for an empty-net goal to make it a final score of 6-4. “I thought we played great,” Hepburn said. “Obviously we were playing against a very good team, and we’ve been waiting all month to play
these guys. It was a big matchup and we came out hard, they came out hard.” Despite the loss, Eccles was proud of his team’s tenacity and their ability to play with a man down. “I was really proud how we kept coming at them that third period,” he said. “That second period was tough. We killed off, I believe, close to six penalties. That’s 12 minutes. We had eight (penalties) that period, so that’s a lot. Plus, you have your guys on the power plays and your top lines penalty-killing, they’re going to run out of gas.” USU rebounded the next day with an 8-2 win over BYU in Provo. The Aggies return to action on home ice at 7 p.m. on Friday Nov. 1 at the Eccles Ice Center in North Logan.
