Staff Writer Waukesha hosted its 22nd Annual Art Fest on Main Street between Broadway and Maple Ave. last Saturday, making this only the third time the show has not been held in Cutter Park, according to Gwenda Helgert, a Waukesha Art Fest board director. The art show was juried, meaning that each artist’s work was critiqued by a panel of art experts before entering the show. “Once the artists are accepted into the show, they are required to pay an entrance fee and donate at least one piece of their artwork to a silent auction,” said Emily Kammerud, a Carroll student and volunteer at the auction. Proceeds from the auction are awarded to senior art students at every Waukesha high school and at Carroll, but featured artists kept their own sales profits. “Carroll’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts has spent many years in charge of the auction,” said Phil Krejcharek, a Carroll art professor and chairman of the department. The auction awards two scholarships to senior students from every Waukesha high school and two scholarships to senior art students at Carroll. “Carroll became connected with Art Fest through Friends of Carroll, an alumni group that no longer exists,” Krejcharek said, “This connection opened the door for Carroll to receive scholarship funds from the silent auction.”

Among the many artists featured in Art Fest was Joan Richter of Muskego. Richter’s art niche is pots, vases, birdhouses, and other such creations handcrafted from gourds grown in Wisconsin, Arizona, and California. She calls her work Black Earth Gourds. “I really enjoy showing my stuff,” Richter said. She maneuverd around orange, beige, and black gourds, many of them carved into ghostly jack-o-lanterns and vases for Halloween. Richter also weaves baskets and teaches basket weaving at East Troy Elementary School every Monday. “But gourds are my main thing,” she said. Richter, except for the help of Gary Wolt, who cleans her

gourds, has been showing her work by herself for 12 years. “People said I should do this show and that show,” she said. “So I did.” Cheryl and Chuck Johnson, of Franklin, also showed their work at Art Fest. But no earthy finish like that of gourds is to be seen in their small booth. Dazzling glass wind chimes, jewelry, flower stands, and coasters are among the various fused glassworks the couple sells. “I heard [Art Fest] was a nice affair, happy, so we came,” said Chuck Johnson. The Johnsons began their home-based business, Genesis Glasswerks, working with stained glass. After two years, they branched out to fused glass

which they have been shaping for seven years. The two are developing a website for Genesis Glasswerks as they grow their business. Artists in other areas like ceramics, fiber, mixed media, painting, jewelry, pen and ink, photography, printmaking, and sculpture donned their masterpieces by the sidewalks of Main Street. In addition, jazz and blue grass artists took turns providing the soundtrack for the throngs that meandered down Main Street. “I’ve loved art my whole life,” said Janet Knapp from Waukesha and program director of Waukesha Creative Art Group. “It’s fun to see what all of these artists bring to the show.”

Editorial Staff Carroll University officially announced Monday that electronica musician Owl City will be playing in Van Male Fieldhouse as part of his “All Things Bright and Beautiful” tour. A four-piece act that hails from Virgina Beach by the name of Days Difference will perform as the opening act. The concert will be Nov. 6 Doors will open at 6:30 p.m, and the show beings at 7:30 p.m. Presale ticket prices, available for Carroll students, will be $5 Sept. 15 and 16. Following the pre-sale, prices will rise to $10 for students, and $25 for the general public. Students are limited to six tickets. Tickets will be available for purchase from the Carroll box office next to the information desk. They will also tentatively be available for purchase online through Carroll’s digital box office. The concert is being sponsored by Student Senate, which, traditionally, funds a concert each year. Past concerts have included CAKE, Death Cab for Cutie and Switchfoot.

Au Bon Pain boasts healthful choices for the price of a meal swipe Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff

Fresh baked goods, healthy choices and unique options are all things to look forward to when visiting Carroll’s newest dining location: Au Bon Pain (ABP). ABP is the perfect stop to get something on the go or to sit down and enjoy a meal outside of the MDR. What makes this addition distinctive is that the students themselves voted for this restaurant on campus and it is not only available to Carroll Students, but the local community as well. ABP is located under Frontier and helps serve the students that are not as close to other dining options. Though it has only been open for a short amount of time, students have nothing but positive remarks for the addition. “I am very impressed with the variety of foods offered at ABP, especially the soups,” stated Brianna Glende, Resident Assistant in Frontier Hall. “The food is incredibly healthy too.” ABP offers up to eight different soups daily, ranging from chicken noodle to a seasonal

squash. They also offer freshly made salads and sandwiches made on the spot. An array of pastries, fresh fruit, yogurt or many other choices they offer separately in a “grab and go” style. Scott Henning, Chartwells Food Services Director,

believes that this new venture is a grand addition to Carroll’s campus and that it represents its growth as well. To accommodate ABP’s customers, calorie counts are listed for all items in the restaurant. There is also a kiosk avail-

able, where people can look up further nutritional information on individual items. There are multitudes of reasons to visit ABP, but the overall environment is enjoyable, making the visit even more satisfying.

Waukesha’s Water Costs to Increase The citizens of the city of Waukesha will be paying an increased price for their water, which expected to jump from $261 to $600 over the next ten years. This increase in water costs comes from the plan to receive water from Lake Michigan, a project to build new water mains and to repay the $75 million in federal grants to obtain the water. Pending Waukesha receiving the grants, the average increase in water per household in the city could triple of the course the next ten years. However, Water Utility General Manager Dan Duchniak told JSOnline that the estimated costs are among the lowest projected based on the increase in water prices that Waukesha currently uses in the future. -JSOnline

Olympic Gymnast Paul Hamm charged with assault in Ohio 2004 Olympic gymnast Paul Hamm was charged with assaulting a taxicab driver in Ohio. Hamm, a Waukesha native resident, was picked up by taxicab driver Abdinasir Elmi around 1:30a.m. in Columbus, Ohio and when the taxi arrived at his destination, Hamm was passed out. When Hamm woke up, he stated that he was not going to pay the taxi fare. Hamm then punched the driver when he tried to open the door to the back seat and then fell onto the ground outside of the car. Hamm then proceeded to punch and kick the driver further after the driver attempted to help Hamm up from the ground. Hamm is awaiting a September 15 arraignment. -JSOnline

Meat theif also arrested for drunken driving A Milwaukee resident that stole over $130 worth of meat from a local Pick ‘n Save store was also arrested for driving drunk. Police had found the man driving on Capitol Drive and was followed into Wauwatosa. The man then proceeded to drive on High way 100 before one of his tires shredded, after which he attempted to walk away from this car before he gave up after seeing the police officer. The police officer tested the man’s blood-alcohol content, which was .16. The driver was not only cited for drunken driving and theft, but also for suspended license plates. -Brookfield Now

Student pledges for community service to honor 9/11 victims and the military Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff

In the wake of the tenth anniversaries of the September 11th attacks, the White House released two pamphlets giving guidance to Americans on different ways which citizens can commemorate the events. The two packets are based on two different ideas: the first focusing on strengthening foreign alliances with citizens all across the globe, the second focusing on Americans and emphasizing

the value of service all across the country. Carroll utilized this initiative by collecting pledges from students to serve a certain amount of hours of community service to benefit the community. The initiative is a way to give back to those in the military for their sacrifices and to bring the nation closer together. One of the key players in collecting pledges of community service hours was Katy Launius, AmeriCorps*VISTA Volunteer Coordinator, who reflected on her own experiences with giving back to the community.

“I was inspired by the unity following 9/11,” said Launius. “My brother made the ultimate sacrifice by joining the military. While I didn’t join the military, I felt that I am doing my duty by serving the greater Waukesha community. I think that service is a way that all Americans can honor the sacrifices and the victims of 9/11 and the sacrifice of the military members by improving the conditions for everyone.” One of the main moments in the volunteer drive was the 9/11 Candlelight Vigil, where Launius was collecting addi-

tional pledged volunteer hours. The event was highly attended and the audience included members of the student body, faculty, staff, and members of the greater Waukesha community. “It was a great time to reflect on what had happened and how much it has impacted our world,” said Kyle Johann, sophomore who attended the event. “It was really great seeing so many people. It was awesome seeing everyone pull together and it showed that people did actually care about it. It was a great experience.”

Former Secret Serviceman shares his experiences at our Nation's capital as we mark the 10-year anniverasy of 9/11 Michael J. Zens brings vigilance and security to the Carroll University Public Safety service Amanda Palczynski

Editorial Staff You may not realize how close you as a Carroll community member are to someone whose service was vital to our nation on the fateful morning of Sept. 11, 2001. Director of Public Safety Michael J. Zens, who has garnered years of experience working as a Secret Ser-

vice agent and Milwaukee police officer, shares his story of what happened that day. “On 9/11, I was a U.S. Secret Service special agent, assigned as a group supervisor Washington field office protection squad, which included the Presidential and Vice Presidential protection divisions,” said Zens. As consumers of intelligence information, Zens and his fellow staff were on alert that day. He remembers that there was no direct, credible threat, but it was nothing less than normal to be on alert everyday in Washington, D.C. Zens was en route to the White House that morning when the call was received regarding the New York City attacks. Zens recalls the horrendous sight as he was on the

way to the White House: “I saw the aircraft implode into the Pentagon; you could see the dark, black smoke and large plume.” Shortly thereafter, he and his squad reported to their emergency operation center at the Washington field office and began to collect information to execute an emergency plan to move Vice President Dick Cheney to an underground bunker in White House while Bush was taken to an air force base in Florida safely. Following that, his squad was prepared with information of a fourth aircraft potentially headed towards the White House or the Capital, which ended up crash-landing in Pennsylvania. Upon the towers’ fall, information was relayed of the New York field office being destroyed and an agent perishing who was once Zens’ student. He was reportedly delivering medical aid to a victim. Zens’ sadness swelled for the people in trouble, as he recalls, but being on the job that day left him little time to think as his mind was moving rapidly. He also acceded to being in disbelief, but he immediately highlighted the anger that arose amongst his team as they asked themselves: “How could we have let them hijack airliners? How could we have let that happened?” He specifically remembers on that day being cross-trained as an Emergency Medical Technician to handle the attacks upon the Pentagon as an order by the FBI; however, the order was revoked because there were no more survivors in the wreckage. Two days later, Zens took part in the advance team that would lead President Bush into a steakhouse where he was to have dinner with the mayor of Washington, D.C. so as to show a united front. He remembers how difficult it was to leave that night as patrons gave the President as well as Zens and his fellow agents standing ovations. “It was a real late night -16 hours-and they wanted to buy us steak dinners, but we took rain checks,” said Zens. “The next day, I was part of motorcade operations that took the President to Ground Zero at the Pentagon; he wanted to observe the scene for himself. We went there 72 hours after the attack, and it was a gruesome scene,” described Zens. Sad,

heart wrenching sights of bodies still in the Pentagon awaited them. Sadness would only layer upon Zens’ experiences later as an assignment took him to Ground Zero at the World Trade Center. His memory trailed back four years to 1997, when he was an instructor for the Secret Service Academy. He conducted weeklong training sessions for the NY and special operations firefighters and paramedics of the FDNY on how to deal with the Secret Service on Presidential movements. During his later assignment, he read the New York Times only to see the photos of students he had taught previously who perished in the attacks. “They were my students, and that was hard, but it’s part of the work we do.” Zens believes Americans have respectfully honored those who perished during the 9/11 tragedy. He plans to attend what he can of the several remembrance services hosted in Waukesha County. Zens’ process of moving on in workplace continues through maintaining security and partnerships with local law enforcement in the private sector of public safety. He also continues to talk to fellow former Secret Service and FBI agents at breakfast events by sharing their experiences, as they once worked on the same assignments. “From a private standpoint, we work very hard on keeping things safe and maintain close contact with the Milwaukee-area FBI,” said Zens. The Carroll Public Safety staff consists of 14 officers, including off-duty Waukesha County sheriffs as well as 60 students who direct traffic, drive the shuttle, and assist officers on patrol. “That’s what I bring to the university as being a Secret Service Agent for 20 years and being a local Milwaukee police officer prior to that: we are very vigilant here with our emergency planning to see that we prevent anyone intending to impose harm on campus. The staff is greatly involved in observing strange behaviors, and they urge students to report them as well. Michael J. Zens would like to honor all the victims and their families, and the people who lost their lives in responding to the 9/11 attacks. He would personally like to dedicate the article to all the people he worked with and to those who lost their lives and worked hard on site to save the lives of their fellow Americans.

Garth Stein’s novel, “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” has been compared to John Groban’s bestseller, “Marley & Me,” but the two novels couldn’t be more different. While both novels focus on dogs, “The Art of Racing in the Rain” is narrated by Enzo, the canine protagonist. Throughout his lifetime, he tells the story of his family and the changes that occur in everyone’s lives. This novel is much more adult than “Marley & Me” – involving a variety of events that shake the life of his beloved owner, Denny. As Enzo watches tragedies unfold in Denny’s world, he longs for nothing more to be human. While Denny leaves him at home during the day, Enzo begins to watch television and is intrigued by a Mongolian documentary claiming that the best dogs would be reincarnated in their next life as humans. The strength of this novel is Stein’s ability to create a true voice for Enzo. While the dog speaks in very human-like thoughts, his animal instincts are present as well – particularly in an instance where he is left home alone and seeks to destroy a stuffed zebra of Denny’s daughter. Readers will laugh at Enzo’s observations of the humans in his life, though a box of Kleenex nearby is highly recommended as well because the book does have it’s inevenitable end. You may never look at man’s best friend the same way.

Like it or not, fall is here ladies and gentlemen, but, along with the drastically cooling temperatures comes the changing of the leaves, apple cider, pumpkin picking and – best of all - a new season of Dancing with the Stars! Starting Sept. 19, thirteen new celebrities dance (or attempt to) on national television. Solme of this seasons dancers include Los Angeles Laker Ron Artest, US Women’s National Soccer Team goalkeeper Hope Solo,, LGBT activist Chaz Bono, signer/songwriter Chynna Phillips, Italian actress/fashion icon Elisabetta Canalis, Iraq War veteran J.R. Martinez, TV legal analyst Nancy Grace and last but not least, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star Rob Kardashian. Bono recently appeared on Good Morning America and when the topic came up, stated the following, “I’m going to be dancing. I’m not up on there talking about anything other than dancing. People who don’t have gender dysphoria aren’t going to catch it by watching me dance on television.” I am predicting that Hope Solo will take the mirror ball trophy this season. This is a woman who did play forward all the way up until. Plus her popularity has sky rocketed since the US team’s second place finish in the women’s World Cup. However, someone like Ricki Lake or Rob Kardashian could pull a fast one on us viewers and steal the show. The fate of these dancers is up to you America. Happy voting!

MONEYBALL

If “Moneyball” has one lesson to teach, it’s that what may not seem like it’s going to work can still work. It was after several directorial changes that the film fell to director Bennett Miller and writers Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian. Following Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, through his experiment with sabermetrics, “Moneyball” used a nice blend of dramatized and reallife footage to keep the film rooted in fact, but maintain an audience’s interest. The occasional black scene screens were a little off-putting, but the movie flowed well otherwise. The heart of the book version lied in sabermetrics, or the objective study of baseball through advanced statistics. For die-hard statisticians, very exciting. To the casual baseball fan, very un-exciting. Sabermetric stats weren’t overdone in the film, but they were definitely noticeable. For better or worse, the overall story seemed to focus more on Beane’s personal life, but there was more than enough sports and sabermetrics to satisfy most. There were strong emotions throughout the movie, but there were moments when the film felt like it was deliberately delaying to build tension. The dialogue, at times, seemed a bit unrealistic, but it was witty and, often, comical. Some characters seemed to follow more stereotypical roles than desired, but the main cast was deep and interesting. The film, coming to theaters Sept. 23, is definitely worth checking out.

Every Avenue, a punk-pop band from Marysville, Mich., released their third album, “Bad Habits” on Aug. 2. The quintet indeed has upped the ante on this album with guitarists Josh Withensaw and Jimmie Deeghan shredding louder than ever a drummer Dennis Wilson pounding harder than ever. “Tie Me Down” then moves into Strauchman pleading for someone to “Rip my heart out/hurt me good before you say goodbye / let’s do this right now.” He seems to be recalling a past relationship or something in the near future. The next track, “Whatever Happened to You” seems to have the carry the same bitterness from track one. “Fall Apart,” may seem slower than the other tracks but the lyrics are just as cynical, “I want you to fall apart like I did / You to hurt for all of this / All the pain you put me through / I wanna hear you say / I don’t deserve you.” Strauchman is more emotional and raw, as evident in his lyrics, “If it hurts you bad, Put it on my tab / I can pay it back tenfold / You’re the only place I’ve ever called my home.” “Watch The World,” the album’s closer, does not live up to standards. It’s almost as if they threw it in last minute. It’s much like their first two albums, and ultimately a letdown. Overall, “Bad Habits” shows the band is maturing as a whole. They aren’t afraid to dig into those heavy and painful emotions. This album was worth the wait, and definitely worth picking up.

Football starts strong, loses late Wrestling club ready Defense holds Lakeland to 94 offensive yards to start practice, compete in NCWA Ashley Joers

Editorial Staff With the first game off to a rough start do to weather delays for an hour and a half , Carroll University’s football team was disappointed but still kept there heads up. It paid off for them in the end, securing a win despite the weather against Lakeland College 13-0. With one win under there belts the football team has been working hard up to their game against Illinois College. A 27- 34 loss against Illinois College on Sep. 10 left Carroll’s football team even more determined to work hard to pull another victory in there upcoming games. Head football coach Mark Krzkowski states, “ Both teams played well. It was a physical game and one we feel we should

have won.” Carroll University and Illinois College were both neck in neck when it comes to the scores throughout the game. Keeping a solid 7-7 in the first quarter and then ending the second quarter with a 14-7 lead. The third quarter started off with a 14-14 scoreboard then quickly changing the pace keeping Illinois College on there toes keeping right in front of them then sneaking past Carroll at the end of the third quarter 26-21. Forth quarter was a mix of emotions going from Carroll in the lead at 27-26 in the start of the quarter, with it ending in devisation for Carroll University losing 27-34. Within a few points of each, Illinois College was able to sneak in one last touchdown in the fourth quarter to secure there victory.

Looking back on the game, there were a few things that could be improved. “As is the case every week, we know how important it is to protect the ball as well as create big plays on offense, defense and special teams.” says Krzkowski. Krzykowski was very happy with Carroll’s special teams units throughout the Sep. 10 game. “Our kicking game has really improved and that will be a big plus as we continue in the season.” While looking ahead at the schedule and upcoming games, Krzkowski chooses to focus on one game at a time. Next game coming up for Carroll is Sep. 17 against Beloit College. Last year Carroll took the victory 33-21 and they are very focused in securing another victory against Beloit again.

Softball cleans nature reserve

The Carroll University softball team volunteered at The Nature Conservancy’s Meyer Preserve near Eagle, Wis., in Waukesha County on Sept. 10, 2001. They cleared invasive species and restored the area to a more natural state.

Staff Writer “Ferocious.” That’s how James Perry, a sophomore, describes the new wrestling team. Carroll University formally recognized its wrestling team as a club sport in 2011 under coaches Ben Tomes, a former Pioneer wrestler and now head coach, and Charles Hammack, who wrestled at Gallaudet University. Although the team will only be competing as a club in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association’s North Central Conference, it is looking forward to the years down the road when active participation could grant them consideration for varsity status and a place in the NCAA. “But we’re not worried about getting into the NCAA right now,” Perry said. “We just want to secure our position in the NCWA and grow as a program.” Carroll’s President Doug Hastad asked Tomes to propose returning wrestling to Carroll in 2007. But Tomes waited to begin forming a program until 2010 when interest in the sport seemed to be peaking. Tomes, along with then-sophomore Tanner Flatland, began rallying interested students. Tomes encouraged interested Carroll wrestlers to compete in the NCWA. Carroll students could compete since the NCWA does not require a team to have varsity status. Thanks to the hard work from both Tome and Flatland, the university recognized the team in 2011. After rousing enough interest in Carroll wrestling to satisfy the Becca Saal, Carroll’s director of recreation, the wrestling club officially became an NCWA member. Carroll University’s wrestling program began as a stu-

dent organization in 1946. The program was successful, earning a College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin team title in 1961, not to mention 15 individual titles in the CCIW and the Midwest Conference. However, shortly after recognition as a varsity sport, Carroll flushed the program. Carroll cut wrestling because the number of men in Carroll’s athletics exceeded the number of women in athletics, violating Title IX of the Education Amendments Acts of 1972, said Nick Seiske, a Carroll alumnus of 2001. The law states that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.” “I couldn’t wrestle when I got [to Carroll],” said Seiske although he wrestled all four years of high school at West Allis Central and was looking to continue in college. Carroll also cut wrestling due to lack of finances. But after gaining a majority of the $40,000 Tomes and Flatland asked from Student Senate, Carroll wrestling could meet such financial needs as transportation and headgear. Aspiring Pioneer wrestlers like Perry meet informally with Coach Tomes to practice at Waukesha Mixed Martial Arts, about a mile from the university, where Tomes trains and coaches. Carroll wrestling is the only college wrestling program housed in a mixed martial arts gym. Tomes also opens his mat to any interested women wrestlers through his Women’s Division. “It’s gonna be a good year,” Perry said. “Should be fun.” Official practices begin October 17.

History favors the Lady Pioneers

Staff Writer The preseason poll released by the Midwest Conference placed Carroll University’s men’s soccer team as the favorite to win the conference this year. Conference play doesn’t start until Sept. 24, giving the Pioneers some time to work out the kinks in their play, posting a 1-2-1 start to their season so far, all matches being played at Schneider Stadium. The Pioneers kicked off their 2011 season at home against a pair of rather unfamiliar foes, Whitworth University and Pacific Lutheran University, two schools out of the state of Washington. The first match against the Pirates of Whitworth ended in a 1-1 tie, thanks to an unfortunate ‘own goal’ by Whitworth. Whitworth (2-1-1) only handed out their first loss of the season this past Sunday, going 2-0-1 in the state of Wisconsin, with Carroll being the only team not to lose to them. Carroll’s next match on Sept. 4 against Pacific Lutheran University did not end as well as the Whitworth battle, with Carroll losing 2-0. Carroll was only allowed two shots on goal the entire game, while Pacific Lutheran got off seven. On Sept. 7, Carroll delivered their first win in a 4-0 rout of Marian University. Steve Koprowski led Carroll with a pair of goals, both coming within the first 25 minutes of the game, followed up by Andy Ksobiech and Dan Czernicki in the second half of play.

Carroll’s offense unloaded 21 shots total, with 13 of them being shots on goal. The defense of the Pioneers stepped up as well, only allowing seven shots total for the Marian Sabres. The last match played so far this season was on Sept. 8 against the Dubuque Spartans, ending in a 2-1 loss. The loss marked an unfortunate end for the Pioneer home stand to start off the season. Dubuque struck first in the 33rd minute with the first of two goals by forward Nick McDonald. Carroll was able to counter in the 68th minute with a strong goal from Andy Ksobiech. It only took 16 seconds after Carroll tied it up 1-1 for McDonald to strike again, putting away his second goal of the night, and, ultimately, the final goal. After their rough start to the season, Carroll looks to bounce back on Sept. 16 with a trip up to Minnesota to square off against Macalaster College. Augsburg College faces the Pioneers on Sept. 18 in Minnesota as well. Koprowski and Ksobiech are both tied for the team lead with two goals a piece. Both are tied for third in the Midwest Conference for goals, two shy of the conference leader. Netminder Tomek Miaskowski has recorded 19 saves. Following the Minnesota matches, Carroll will begin conference play Sept. 24 against Knox College and then an outof-conference, in-state rivalry against University of WisconsinWhitewater the next day.

Editorial Staff Women’s Soccer had a tough game against Alma College Sept. 10. Working hard to get another win under their belts, the team was not able to keep up with Alma College losing 0-2. “It is definitely not a good feeling coming back from such a hard fought game with a 2-0 loss, but we learned a lot from that game about ourselves as a team,” said Leah Wiercinski. The team has not lost hope, working hard now to perfect the areas that were shown within that game. Coming up on Sept. 21, Carroll University will be playing against Carthage College. “Carthage is a big rival game for us and we always want to win, we have ten days of practice before our game so we will be motivated to play them,” said Nicole Latimer, a sophomore on the team. Last year the Lady Pioneers won 2-1. Carroll took the lead in the first half, putting two goals in right away to secure the win early. They are hoping to repeat what they did last year. “There is even a greater motivation this year, because Susie [Foster], our head coach, and Lindsay, our assistant coach, used to coach the Carthage Women’s soccer team.” Wiercinski states. With Wiercinski being a senior, every game is important. “As a senior, I’m definitely motivated to play the best game that I can every time and to help

give my team the best shot at winning” Wiercinski said. Latimer states that as a sophomore she is “motivated to do better to help the team and make it the best it can be.” The women’s soccer team has a common goal from across players to better themselves and better the team. The first conference game for the women’s soccer team is Sept. 24 against Knox College. Knox is 2-2 right now whereas Carroll ranks 1-2 overall. The goals of the team are clear with going for it all and working hard to make it to the top. “As a team our goal is to win the conference, win the conference tournament, and make a turn name for ourselves in the NCAA tournament by getting passed the first round and even further,” said Wiercinski. Lauren Demski leads the team in goals with two, followed by Kelly Moran and Latimer, each with one. Keeper Taylor Mclean has made 16 saves, but surrendered seven goals in four games. The Lady Pioneers are off until Sept. 21 when they travel to Carthage before returning home for the game against Knox. They play Lawrence University, last years MWC Tourney winners, Oct. 1. Carroll has historically dominated the Midwest Conference, clininching Midwest Conference tournament berths several times in the past few years, including several NCAA tournament apperances.
