Lady Pioneers Three-peat Parrinello captures second individual title Ashley Joers Editorial Staff

For the third time in three years, the women’s golf team has won the Midwest Conference championship for Carroll University. The Lady Pioneers ended the three day meet in Springfield, Ill., with a score of 1005, 141 strokes above par, but 13 strokes below Grinnell College. A combined first-day score of 338, the worst singleday total for Carroll, was lower than the next highest of any team on any other day. Angelina Parrinello led the team by claiming her second individual Midwest Conference championship. She also won back in 2009. Parrinello shot 82, 76 and 79 on respective days to finish with a three-day score of 237, 21 strokes above par, but 8 strokes below Grinnell’s Mallory Messin. “I am very happy to win my second individual championship,” Parrinello said. “I knew it was a possibility if I just went out and played my best and it ended up going my way.” Parrinello wasn’t alone near the top of the leaderboards, though. Four other Carroll golfers joined her in earning All-Midwest Conference honors. Erin Sullivan (252), Morgan Zuleger (255), Lauren Felton (264) and Brooke Berkenpas (267) fin-

ished in the top ten to earn their honors. “The team has grown so much this year,” Parrinello said. “Every

week we would set some kind of record and we would turn around and break it again the next week.” The team will compete in

the NCAA Division III National Championship in May. “Our goals for the 2011 NCAA Division III Tournament are just to

play our best and keep improving,” Parinello said. “There are some amazing teams that get to play and it is awesome to be a part of it.”

In front of nearly 3,000 fans, the Pioneer football team tore apart the Lawrence University Vikings. Lawrence fought the Pioneers point for point for the first 15 minutes of the game, taking a 10-10 tie into the second quarter, but takeaways plauged the remainder of the game. Viking quarterbacks Luke Barthelmass and Sam Kassow combined to throw four interceptions, combined with three fumbles recovered by the Pioneer defense. All but one turnover led to points for Carroll. The Pioneers put up a staggering 34 points in the second quarter to take a 44-17 lead into the half. Most of the second half was spent in Lawrence territory. The Vikings never scored again. The Pioneers threw up another

23 points en route to their highest scoring game since 1976 when they beat North Park University 70-0. In terms of yardage, the Pioneers put up nearly twice as many total yards, outgainining the Vikings 468-237. The score was, perhaps, not the worst part of the game for Lawrence. Lawrence had four rushers combine for only a single net rushing yard. Carroll, on the other hand, nine rushers combine for nearly 300 yards on the ground. With four games left in the season, Carroll sits at 4-1 in the Midwest Conference, 5-1 Overall. They are second in the conference behind Monmouth College, who is currently undefeated in conference play. Carroll has the top ranked defense in the Midwest Conference, allowing under 300 total yards per game. They have the second best rushing defense, trailing St. Nor-

bert College’s ridiculous 446 yards allowed on the ground. In the air, the Pioneers have intercepted more passes than any other team in the conference, but Illinois College is only one behind with 12. Freshman kicker Tyler Raymaker leads the conference in points per game, scoring 7.7. He is also tied with Ripon kicker Jacob Gahart for most successful field goals with seven. Carroll will take on St. Norbert Oct. 15 before playing hosts to the Prarie Fire of Knox College. Oct. 29 will see a MonmouthCarroll matchup at Schnieder Stadium for what could be the deciding match for the Midwest Conference championship. The game will start at 1 p.m. Carroll will wrap up the season Nov. 5 in Iowa when they take on Grinnell College.

Physical Plant wants to hire new director Luke Bennewitz Editorial Staff

Carroll University is currently in the process of hiring a new Director of Physical Plant, which started during the middle of summer. The process for finding the new Director started when the former Director, Chris Pasbrig, left Carroll University. “It was by mutual agreement based on personal matters,” stated Ron Lostetter, Vice President of Finance and Administrative Services. The process for finding a new Director continued when the university formed a search committee to review applications. The search committee received between 50 to 60 appli-

cations which were then lowered down to a top group of about 10 applicants. The search committee then conducted phone interviews with four of those applicants, three of which will be brought on campus for meetings and in person interviews. On campus interviews will consist of several meetings between the applicant and different representatives from areas on campus, such as Residence Life, Campus Services, and Custodial Staff. Additionally, each applicant will be answering questions during open sessions at 11am this Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday which will be open for the entire Carroll campus. On campus visits for the top three applicants will also consist of them giving a presentation on

Waukesha Releases Information on Voter ID Law Waukesha’s website has posted information about the newly passed voter ID law. Identification cards are available for people to pick up, but the time it takes for the cards to arrive prior to election day is quite lengthy, averaging about a “six-week turnaround” according to Deputy Clerk/Treasurer Gina Kozlik. Residents who have moved recently do not need to have an address that is current with the ID in order to get the new identification cards. -The Waukesha Patch

“The reputation is so positive of the university and the Director of Physical Plant position has the same reputation to uphold,” said Lostetter. “I have high hopes for whoever will be the new Director.” The Director of Physical Plant position has many connections to several aspects of the campus community. “So much of what we do and depend on comes from Physical Plant,” said Dr. Theresa Barry, Dean of Students. “The position will be so welcome. The Director of Physical Plant keeps everything moving forward. We are in contact all the time.” Lostetter will ultimately have final say in the hiring of the new Director.

what they expect to accomplish during the first 100 days at Carroll. “The main focus for me is the communication skills of the applicants,” stated sophomore Tonya Palmer, Student Senate’s representative on the search committee. “Work orders are not always properly addressed by Physical Plant and I’m looking for someone who will communicate effectively to the students. I’m also putting consideration on applicants that can prioritize work order requests based on their need and not just the time that they were submitted.” The Director of Physical Plant will ultimately have responsibilities to oversee a crucial service to campus.

Have you ever watched a movie, where the time is running out before the bomb detonates, the hero has mere seconds to save the day and is left in a tension building decision of which wire to cut? Well this is the same high-intensity situation that Minesweeper recreates. You are put in the spotlight, saving the yellow smiley face from certain destruction. The only option is for you to pinpoint and work around all the mines in an allout brain blistering puzzler. Since 1992, Microsoft has packaged Minesweeper with every Windows computer. Now, minesweeper can be found on almost any device. At the beginning of September, Minesweeper for Xbox Live was released for Windows Phone users including extra variation with speed mode which can make it hard to put down. As for the achievement system, there are several unlockable accolades which you can boast to your Xbox friends about.

It is said a person touches their face over a 1,000 times a day. Add in how many times said person touches door knobs, tables, sneezes or coughs and the potential for spreading germs should be selfevident. This is the idea behind the movie “Contagion.” “Contagion” is a drama, thriller movie staring Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne and Jude Law. The plot is, essentially, people around the globe becoming sick from a contagious disease. The movie does, however, delve deeper into the roles of the characters and shows the types of situations that would arise. For example, Laurence Fishburne’s character is a member of the Center of Drug Control and is put into a situation where he is not suppose to tell anyone about the disease yet, but he wants to warn his wife. Matt Damon’s wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, is at the epicenter of the plot after going on a trip to China, the presumed origin of the disease.

Everyone who goes clubbing on a regular basis hears all the top mixes and freshest tracks on the music scene. One of the newest artists lighting up the dancefloor is the Frankmusik. This young British musician is out with his sophomore album, Do it in the AM which hit stores in late September. Right from the start, it is clear that this album has a mainstream and trendy appeal. The music follows right along. Frankmusik has a great underlying electronic dance sound that is identifiable throughout the album. Add on a unique pop sound and it makes for some great ear candy that is fun and energetic to listen to. To put the cherry on top, Frankmusik has several tracks collaborating with great artists including the popular group, Far East Music in the song whose name is the same as the album. Overall, checking out the album is a must have for any dorm party that requires high energy. And why stop there? I’d even suggesst picking up a hard copy.

What do you get when you mix a newly single, slightly dorky female, with three male roommates? Fox’s new hit show, “The New Girl,” that’s what. Actor, Zooey Deschannel stars as Jess, the everyday girl next door who can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to relationships. As the episode continues, all three guys actually start to care for Jess and look out for her. I absolutely love this aspect of the show, they treat her like a sister. So cute. When Jess got stood up, they all ditched the party of the year to hang out with her. I mean, what girl wouldn’t want that? This show definitely has what it takes to be an instant classic. Deschannel is perfect in the role of Jess. Not to mention her awesome dance moves. I think her character is relatable to every girl out there. Her random moments of breaking into song are beyond hilarious. I watched the pilot episode twice and loved it just as much the second time. I’m hooked and I know that I am not alone.

Four inducted in the Carroll Athletics Hall of Fame class of 2011 as part of Homecoming festivities Audrey Ericson Staff Writer

Carroll honored four of its own in its Athletics Hall of Fame brunch Sunday. In the ceremony, Carroll recognizes those who have greatly succeeded at Carroll as an athlete, coach, or supporter. Carroll also honors individuals who have exemplified athletic leadership and commitment outside of school. Among the four honored was Coach Merle “Mase” Masonholder who led Carroll’s football program from 1982-2000. Masonholder also directed Carroll athletics from 1990-2001. In addition, he was Associate Professor Emeritus of Physical Education at Carroll and Central Methodist University. He had the most wins of any Carroll coach with his career record of 83-83-0. Coach Mase also led Carroll to two league titles in two conferences. The team finished 7-1 in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin in 1988 and shared that championship with Augustana College. The Pioneers beat Augustana 24-21 in the regular season.

Carroll lost the 1993 Midwest Conference title game to Coe College but won it in 1997 with a 20-15 win over Grinnell College. But Coach Mase not only led a great team; he led great individuals. Masonholder developed three Conference Players of the Year as well as six All-Americans. Joining Masonholder in the Athletics Hall of Fame ceremony was Doug Wrecke, a 1994 Carroll graduate. Wrecke earned eleven varsity letters and played four sports (football, basketball, track and field, and baseball) during his Carroll years. In football, Wrecke won the school’s Offensive Player of the Year award in 1990. In 1992 and 1993, he won All-Midwest Conference honors as a wide-receiver and kick returner. Wrecke led the Midwest Conference in punt returns and ranked number eight in NCAA punt return average in 1992. In 1993, he captained his team while leading the Midwest Conference in receptions. Wrecke started as a wide-receiver all four years with 158 ca-

reer receptions and 12 touchdowns. In basketball, Wrecke started two years, captaining the team in 1992 and 1993. He earned Honorable Mention AllMidwest Conference honors. In 1991 and 1992, he led the CCIW in free throw percentage (95%). Wrecke scored a career high of 43 points versus St. Norbert College in 1993. In track and field, Wrecke was a two-time All-Midwest Conference performer. He also manned second base and the outfield for one season of baseball. Also inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame w as Steve Harris, a 1995 Carroll alumnus. Harris received All-Midwest Conference in both football and baseball. Harris’s football career ended with season records in rushing yards (1,438), touchdowns (20 in 1994), points (122 in 1994), two-point conversions (5 in 1992), and career yards per carry (6.1 yards). In football, he earned three All-Midwest Conference First Team selections as a running

back. Not only did Harris captain his team in 1994, but he also ranked as the country’s third best running back in scoring and sixth best in rushing. Harris was dubbed the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 1992 and Offensive Player of the Year in 1994. Harris also gleaned Third Team All-American honors in 1994. In baseball, Harris won Unanimous First-Team All-College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin in 1992. In addition to having the best batting average (.388) on the team, he led the team in triples (5) in 1994. He led the team in stolen bases from 1992-1995. This year’s Athletics Hall of Fame final inductee was Marni Lynn, a 2001 Carroll graduate. Lynn ended her career as one of Carroll’s and the Midwest Conference’s most accomplished runners, excelling in academics, cross country, and track and field. She earned Academic AllMidwest Conference for each of her running seasons. She was NCAA division three Academic All-American for track and field in 1999.

While at Carroll, Lynn set 9 school records including the fastest 5K cross country time in Carroll history. She was named Carroll’s cross country MVP in 1998 and 1999 and track and field MVP in 1999. In 2000, Lynn was named Carroll College Female Athlete of the Year. She also held conference records in indoor and outdoor track and field and won 18 individual conference titles while at Carroll. One of these was Midwest Conference Performer of the Meet, which she won 3 times. Furthermore, Lynn was a 9 time national qualifier. Lynn was Carroll’s first NCAA division 3 track and field champion when she won the 1500 meter run at the Indoor National Meet in 1999. She won her second National Title in the 3000 meter outdoor run. She was a 3 time All-American in track and field. Together, these four outstanding individuals set the bar high for Carroll’s Athletics Hall of Fame hopefuls today.

Football 4-1 in MWC Sammie Cavanaugh Staff Writing

The Pios had a rocky start to the first quarter exchanging points with Lawrence. Pioneer football received the ball and kicked a field goal for three points. Lawrence Vikings came back with a touchdown and took the lead 3-7. First quarter ended tied 10-10. Carroll came back tough in the second quarter with five touchdowns. Ending the first half 44-17. There were three fumble recoveries during the game, one for a touchdown by Andrew fix.

Quarterback Ryan Young ran in a touchdown in the third. Drew Volkmann scored the final touchdown of the third quarter putting Carroll at 60 points and holding the Vikings to 17. Nate Soddy scored two touchdowns and Volkmann scored three. Freshman Josh Ruano intercepted the ball for a touchdown in the fourth quarter ending the game at 67-17 for the Homecoming win. Pioneers are currently 5-1 on the 2011 season, and have a difficult test next weekend when they take on Saint Norbert on the road.

Lady Pios play thrillers, stay hot in conference Ashley Joers Editorial Staff

Homecoming week brought joy and disappointment to the Women’s Soccer team. UWWhitewater, UW-Stevens Point, and Illinois College proved heavy competition for the lady pioneers. In their first bout, Carroll’s Pioneers faced UW-Whitewater’s Warhawks with home field advantage. At the half, Carroll trailed UW-Whitewater with a score of 0-1 but the 85th minute, Lauren Demski (assisted by Kelly Moran) would step up to bring Carroll back into the game and tie the lady Warhawks. A stress filled overtime

erupted as the lady Pios and Warhawks fought to defend their respective goals, neither budging till the 98th minute, where UWWhitewater sealed in their victory with a game-ending goal, a 1-2 defeat Whitewater over Carroll. The fight did not stop there for the Lady Pioneers when going up against another big university school, UW-Stevens Point over homecoming weekend. Carroll’s Kayla Pfeiffer would get the game going for the Pios after trailing Stevens Point at half 0-1. Minutes 66 and 68 proved to be the liveliest of the game with the score by Pfeiffer soon matched by a game finishing point by Point’s Angela Gal-

low.

Unable to match their other UW rival, Carroll stood 0-2 with one game to go against Illinois College. The lady pioneers were able to keep their heads up on Oct 9 with the weather being a bright and sunny 85 degrees. Starting off the game with Carroll having 14 shots in the first half doesn’t compare to Illinois College with a total of 2. Carroll’s Lauren Demski scored the first goal in the 38 minute, which was assisted by Kara Delie. Thus ending the first half with the lead of 1-0 Carroll takes the second half with pride and determination to finish what they started.

Carroll’s lady defense falls short in the 63 minute of the game letting Abby West of Illinois College slip a goal in to tie the score 1-1. With the lady pioneers eager to pull a win during homecoming weekend, Lauren Demski sweept down the field and scored within the 88 minute of the game assisted by Carly Herald. Bringing an end to Carroll women’s soccer two game losing streak. Eding the game with a win of 2-1 against Illinois College, Carroll’s Women’s Soccer team ventured back to Carroll with their heads up and ready for the games ahead of them. Carroll’s next match is Oct. 11 against Beloit College.

Carroll unbeaten in Midwest Conference play Ashley Joers Editorial Staff

Men’s soccer has been doing well in the Midwest Conference with a record of 4-0-0 and an overall statistic of 5-6-1. On October 3rd, Carroll University’s men’s soccer team took on St. Thomas University whose prior standing was 4-2. Both sides put up a great fight throughout the 90 minutes. The Pioneers played a strong defensive game, blocking 7 out of the 8 shots in the first half. In the 41st minute the defense broke down and Mark Smith from St. Thomas slid the ball through for the only goal of the game. The game ended with the score of 0-1 St. Thomas, but that did not stop the Pioneers’ determination going into their next

game against Illinois College on Oct. 9 homecoming weekend. Carroll began their homecoming weekend dual with a fervor, taking more shots on goal compared to their opponents, an 11-1 statistic versus Illinois College in just the first period. Their aggressive streak continued into the second half with another 11 shots on goal by the Pios. Although aggressive in the first, it proved to be the second half where Carroll’s men’s team would seal in a victory. Jordan Wickman would be the first to score for the Pioneers with a penalty kick in the 49th minute. In the 55th minute, Justin Gerhartz would seal the victory with an unassisted goal to add to the final game total, 2-0 Carroll over Illinois College. The Pioneers return to action Oct. 11.
