Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Narbeth Emmanuel announced Monday, Nov. 3, that he will retire in July 2015.

“I think we all get to stages that one begins to reflect where they’ve been and what other opportunities and promises hold for them in the future,” Emmanuel said. “And I think this moment has come for me.”

Emmanuel has served as SIUE vice chancellor for Student Affairs for nearly 20 years.

“I came here initially not expecting to be here as long as I have, and I think it’s a reflection of kinds of family that we have at SIUE,” Emmanuel said.

While there has not been an official announcement by the university regarding the search committee for the position, Emmanuel said he is sure the proper steps will be taken to fill the opening.

“I suspect that the chancellor will very soon be assembling a very capable search committee,” Emmanuel said, “and the search committee will probably start their work some time in the latter part of November.”

When asked about the retirement, Chancellor Julie Furst-Bowe said in an email, “Vice Chancellor Emmanuel has yet to submit a formal letter announcing his retirement. He does report directly to me along with the other vice chancellors.”

According to Furst-Bowe’s secretary, she is not ready to talk.

Emmanuel said the university should have a candidate by the time he leaves in the summer of 2015.

Student Body President Nasir Almasri, who works closely with Emmanuel, will be a part of the search committee, aiding the hunt for a candidate. Almasri said Emmanuel told him about the retirement in person.

“I was sitting… in the Student Government office and typing at my com-

The SIUE Board of Trustees recently approved renaming the Office of International Programs to the Office of International Affairs, making the office under the oversight of Provost Parviz Ansari, who is also the vice chancellor of Academic Affairs.

Director of International Affairs Ronald Schaefer explained the purpose of the name change.

“The chancellor was looking to re-organize and prioritize the Center for International Programs within the university and the name change was a good way to do it,” Schaefer said. “A lot of the issues that affect international students, which is one of our operations, and study abroad, another part of our operations, have to do with Academic Affairs, so it seemed like

Almasri said the new vice chancellor for Student Affairs will need to have an inclination to support students.

“I think what students are going to look for is somebody with a strong voice.

She or he will really have to have a lot of confidence to work within the administration,” Almasri said. “I don’t want to say hiring internally or externally is necessary. They don’t have to have been in the university before, but somebody that can hold their own weight within the administration because — and it’s not the administration’s fault — they see things from a different perspective than students do and it’s our job to show them the students’ perspective. But [he or she needs

puter, and Nobby sneaks by, half stops, and goes, ‘Hey, got a second?’… and so, he pointed his finger and told me to follow him,” Almasri said. “He said ‘I’ve been here a long time, and I think I’m getting ready to retire.’”

Almasri said Emmanuel’s departure will ultimately influence the students, as well as Student Government.

“For the student body — I don’t want to get all pessimistic — but things are going to change,” Almasri said.

“That’s what happens when you have somebody leave and a new person come.

So, I think it’s going to be different. I’m not going to sit here and forecast if it’s going to be better or worse.”

a natural push.”

Schaefer said the name change was needed to expand the office’s purposes as a whole.

“I don’t know that the name ‘Office of International Affairs’ means something more to students than ‘Office of International Programs,’ but in terms of a broader scope, the university is now taking a stance that it wants to reach out to other nations and other universities in terms of having students study abroad and also, reach out to a broader set of institutions in the world to have students from those locations come to SIUE, either as part of a direct exchange or for a degree program or what have you,” Schaefer said.

“To that extent, that greater involvement, that could for instance, allow some of our domestic students in particular, to meet more international students.

“They might have a lab

to be] somebody who can really advocate for the students.”

Emmanuel said he is going to spend his retirement exploring his options to make a change.

“I think I’m going to — at least for the next year — take the next year, the transition year, to explore those options, to understand how best to position myself in ways that I can continue to contribute to our community,” Emmanuel said, “and to enhance and strengthen those agencies that might need individuals to be part of their agency and to make a difference.” " "

international programs, but also broader international affairs.

The name change now makes the purposes and functions of the office more specific to students and faculty members.

“It’s shorter for one, but if you use the word program for instance, then you think of

The name change tells me that it’s not just about international students, but they look at other international affairs also.

ferent places in the world, and thereby learn about those different places.”

Schaefer said the direction the office now follows is not just

maybe just study abroad or just international student services and I think certainly the new Provost and Chancellor, Dr. Parviz, has a broader picture

!

that includes not just study abroad, not just international student services, but also, globalization and internationalization of the campus and also, I would say under that broader rubric, curricular internationalization,” Schaefer said. “All of these kinds of broader elements are what I think they had, at least partially, in mind.”

Public administration graduate student and president of SIUE’s African Student Association Pamela Kodjoe, of Ghana, said the name change is significant to her because it shifts the focus of the office to international affairs.

“The international student office isn’t just dealing with students, but with a whole range of issues. The name change tells me that it’s not just about international students, but they look at other international affairs also,” Kodjoe said. “For in| pg. 3

stance, the world is facing an Ebola outbreak and whether we like it or not, we have to look at how Ebola impacts admissions from West African countries where the virus is an epidemic.

Renaming the office as the Office for International Affairs brings those sorts of issues into light.”

Schaefer made it clear that the name change does not indicate any modification in dealings with SIUE’s current international student population.

“It won’t make any difference,” Schaefer said. “They’ll still be working through this office even with the new name. It won’t affect study abroad; it won’t affect the International Student Services, so in that regard, I don’t see any difference.

If you look at it from the student’s point of view, they will still come to this office in order to get what they need to participate in study abroad and to become integrated in the university as international students.”

Business administration graduate student Sui Chen from Beijing said the name change is more responsible in identifying the activities done in the office.

“The name ‘Office of International Affairs’ is better than the name ‘Office of International Programs’ because it is more specific in the functions that carried out in the office,” Chen said. “The new name is better because it replaces the word ‘programs’ with the word

‘affairs’, which makes it more inviting for students who use the office’s resources.”

Schaefer said he does not forecast any change in enrollment management for SIUE’s international students, simply because of the recent name change, but for what the office itself encompasses for both the present and the future.

“I don’t think there will be a change in services for domestic students participating in study abroad or for international students from abroad, for instance, the extent to which the university might be able to increase the number of international students who are incoming and domestic students who are outgoing for study abroad,” Schaefer said. “These are really positive goals for the university, but I don’t envision any of those aspirations as reducing the services that will be available to those student populations.”

Schaefer said the two primary components to the office that affect students are primarily affairs with International Student Services and students going out to study abroad.

“Perhaps the name change will inspire students to come to the office and find out about study abroad and of course, what we here at the office want to do is provide students with the best information that we have in terms of study abroad and a lot of times that means helping students to debunk myths that they might have about study abroad,” Schaefer said. “There are a lot of students that think, for instance, that if

Southern Illinois University’s president is reporting that acting Chancellor Paul D. Sarvela of the Carbondale campus died unexpectedly Sunday night.

A letter from University President Randy Dunn posted on Facebook praises Sarvela’s service over almost three decades. Dunn had recommended him for the interim chancellor’s job, which Sarvela started last summer.

In the letter, Dunn writes: “Over the past 28 years, Dr. Sarvela has served our university with distinction as a faculty member, department chair, center director, dean, associate system vice president, and since July, interim chancellor. As much as we value his many contributions as a mentor and a colleague, it is his friendship and compassion for those

“

they take study abroad, that will delay graduation. We try to correct that assumption. Other students assume that it’s too expensive, but in most cases, you could do something that’s very similar to what you would pay here for a semester.”

Schaefer said no new programs have been or will be added to the office as a result of the name change.

“I would not say that any part of the office is new. I think that the newness may be the university’s interest in reaching out to the world and reaching out to students and faculty and other places in the world as a way of helping us here in Edwardsville better understand that world that’s out there.”

Schaefer said.

Kodjoe said the Office for International Affairs helped her by teaching her the dos and don’ts of immigration services.

She said the office has taught her a lot about her limitations as a student with an F1 visa.

“I know that I cannot work outside of campus unless it’s an internship, or something related to my status as an F1 student,” Kodjoe said. “They gave me the information to shield me from overstepping my boundaries and violating homeland security rules and regulations put in place for international students.”

Chen said the Office of International Affairs helped him better transition to living abroad in the U.S., where he now helps other international students.

“Before I transferred from my school in the Netherlands to the United States — when I was

in my undergrad years — I volunteered in many activities. The international office gave me the chance to really be involved and helped me to grow as a person and better understand other cultures,” Chen said. “Because I gained different experiences, being involved in different student activities, I was able to get a job as a graduate assistant in the Center for International Affairs.”

Schaefer said the new name better represents the office itself not only in the present, but also changes what it aspires to be in the future.

“From where I stand, it behooves us to learn about other places and other values and other ways of doing things and trying to sift through all of that and measure that to our own experiences,” Schaefer said. “I think we’ll become stronger and more well-informed as people, and of course with the economies around the world shifting to a more knowledgebase, having that information is central to what we will need to survive in the future.” #

around him that we will miss the most,” Dunn wrote.

Among Sarvela’s many roles over the years, he was director of the Center for Rural Health and Social Service Development at SIU Carbondale.

Sarvela was also a tenured professor of health care management. Here is the full text of Dunn’s letter to the campus and community: “Dear Faculty, Staff, Students, Alumni and Friends of SIU: It is with deep sadness that I share with you the news that Interim SIU Carbondale Chancellor Paul Sarvela passed away unexpectedly earlier this evening. Our hearts go out to his wife, Debbie, their son and daughter, and the other members of their family. Over the past 28 years, Dr. Sarvela has served our university with distinction as a faculty member, department chair, center director, dean, associ-

ate system vice president, and since July, interim chancellor. As much as we value his many contributions as a mentor and a colleague, it is his friendship and compassion for those around him that we will miss the most. We will ensure that information about any arrangements will be shared with the campus community when they are available. I would ask that you keep the Sarvela family in your thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Randy Dunn, President” When Sarvela accepted the position last summer, he expressed his affection for the institution and his honor at being selected.

Sarvela wrote the following letter, which is published on the school’s website: “I am honored to serve as acting chancellor after 28 years of service to SIU Carbondale. This university is a very

special place to me, and I hope it is special to you, as well. At SIU, we share a collective commitment to providing a quality education for all of our students.

We are committed to research, scholarship and creative activities that contribute to a vibrant university community. We are especially dedicated to engaging and contributing to our region, adding to the quality of life of the people of central and southern Illinois. We are proud to be a public research university with a global reach and a local mission. Whether you are a student, graduate, friend or a member of our faculty, staff or community, I welcome your support and feedback as we move our university to yet a higher level of greatness. Paul D. Sarvela, Interim Chancellor” ($ ($

All Around the World !

From the U.S. to Russia, Kosovo and the West Bank, Denise DeGarmo, a professor, has seen it all. As chairwoman of the Political Science Department, DeGarmo has various responsibilities that keep her busy during the semester.

“As the chair, I do everything from managing our budget, to scheduling classes, to really doing a lot of recruitment of students and trying to support faculty and their classes. It’s a really big hat … not a big hat, but a variety of hats. It’s a lot of administrative work, which really takes away from my love of teaching and research,” DeGarmo said.

Along with being the chairwoman, she is also an accomplished researcher and world traveler. Ever since she was a little girl, she traveled across the U.S. However, her international travel did not start until she pursued her Ph.D. at the University of Michigan in 2001.

“I was a social worker before I was a political scientist,” DeGarmo said. “I got burnt out and had my kids.

I was working on gang diffusion teams, and it wasn’t feasible for me to be out on the streets with two little boys at home. I went back [to school], got my degree in political science and miraculously got a full ride to University of Michigan’s Political Science Department.

So I moved the family there and got my Ph.D. in International Relations.”

After DeGarmo received her degree in 2001, she was an assistant professor and became the coordinator of the Peace and International Studies minor and revamped the program in Jerusalem. Although she loves traveling, she said one of her favorite places to be is in

the classroom.

“I always wanted to teach. I had magnificent professors at University of Michigan, even though they were brilliant researchers,” DeGarmo said. “I absorbed that. When I graduated, people laughed at me because they go to these big [top] research schools and all I wanted to do was teach.”

DeGarmo’s passion for teaching doesn’t go unnoticed by her fellow colleagues. Political science professor Ken Moffett said he has enjoyed working alongside DeGarmo.

“

There is nothing better than being in a classroom and watching the light bulbs go off in students’ heads...

“I like that she does a lot of different activities with students. I also like her emphasis on the undergraduate education that students receive in terms of lots of research and assistantships to students,” Moffett said. “[She] also offers lots of travel and study abroad with students, and has even selectively taken different students on different trips for her research.”

Political science professor Laurie Rice has traveled with DeGarmo on several occasions. Rice said she, as well as her students, are inspired by DeGarmo.

“She really cares a lot about students and it’s inspiring to see the commitment that she’s had and [to] see the impact that she had had on students over time,” Rice said. “There are students she had in her first year that are still in touch with her.”

Rice travels to Ireland with DeGarmo on a yearly basis with students through the political science department.

“There was one time when we had been warning students about being cautious and we were in an area where we were safe, but there was the potential for issues to happen,” Rice said. “We had just gone through this lecture with the students about things to look for and we were back and relaxing at the hotel, and we heard a gunshot in the distance. We were just so tired that we just sat there, and 10 minutes later we were like, ‘Maybe we should turn off the lights and get away from the windows,’ so we were doing the exact opposite of what we just told students not to do.”

Rice has also had the opportunity to meet up with DeGarmo during a research trip to the West Bank with three students around Christmas time.

“One of the best experiences I had was that I was able to have three students who were conducting research with me come to Bethlehem and Palestine for Christmas. Three very different students, one very religious and audiologically conservative, one who was really interested in political controversies and one who always had a place in her heart for Palestine,” DeGarmo said,“It was such a unique situation to have three young people who had no experience in this area to be able to look at things and experience things for the first time | pg.7

because it reminded me of my first time there.”

According to DeGarmo, the experience of being in Palestine and Bethlehem at Christmas held a whole different meaning for both professors.

“I think spending Christmas at the church and the nativity where Jesus was born was just so special to them. To think that the apartment I stayed in is on the route that Mary, Joseph and the donkey took. To be there, whether you believe in it or not, you can’t help but believe in the power of being at the church and the nativity at Christmas. Words cannot explain that,” De-

Garmo said.

As a travel companion, Rice said she had the wonderment and awe that DeGarmo had.

“It was a really neat experience, and certainly not the typical experience to have, especially being in Bethlehem at Christmas time,” Rice said.

DeGarmo’s accomplishments reach far beyond traveling with students to Northern Ireland and to Bethlehem. She has made several publications and has been named a research associate for the Applied Research Institute in Jerusalem.

“She does a lot of interesting work and she tends to be selfless with students,” Rice said. “She is selfless and

giving with her time, skills and energy to help people around the world. She has done a lot of work with different humanitarian issues and put her research expertise to use.”

As a researcher, DeGarmo has been trained in many areas, which helps her when she travels abroad and works with individuals in others cultures, especially those along the West Bank.

“I am actually trained in nuclear security,” DeGarmo said, “More generally, security, but nuclear security is more of my area of expertise.”

As an individual trained in security, she has worked with many notable people.

“When I first came to Edwardsville, the work I did involved doing a lot of research for, then Senator Barack Obama and Congressman John Shimkus. Using that expertise, [I helped] former atomic weapons workers get compensated for being exposed to radiological materials,” DeGarmo said.

DeGarmo was then awarded a fellowship to travel to Palestine to continue her research in 2011.

“I had an opportunity to participate in the program that takes American academics into Palestine. So I was accepted and went through an application process through the Palestinian-American Research Institute and was awarded a fellowship to travel with them for two weeks in May of 2011,” DeGarmo said.

Because of that opportunity, she has made some significant connections with academics all over the world and travels to the West Bank twice a year.

“I met some fabulous scholars in the West Bank and since 2011, I [have] developed a very good working relationship with them that allows me to travel there on a regular basis,” DeGarmo said.

Between her passion for teaching, her expertise in International Studies and her love of traveling, DeGarmo has made significant strides. Everything she has done, she relates back to her love of being among the students in the classroom.

“There is nothing better than being in a classroom and watching the light bulbs go off in students heads, because you can really see it,” DeGarmo said, “My favorite class by far to teach is Introduction to International Relations because most people come in not having a very good background in anything international and come out of there with a whole new way of thinking. [It really] opens minds and gets people to think outside the box.”

Tournament bound Women’s soccer goes to NCAA Tournament for first time in program’s history The women’s soccer team continued its historic season at the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, winning its first title in the program’s history with two victories.

The conference championship guaranteed the Cougars would be heading to their first NCAA Tournament, where they will compete for a national championship, three years after becoming eligible to do so.

Head Coach Derek Burton said the program was glad to have reached the tournament in a short period of time.

“Personally, it was a goal I set when I got the job here that was basically passed on to the coaches that have come and joined the staff and each player as they’ve been recruited here,” Burton said. “As we’ve gone through season by season, it becomes more visible. When the players start to see it, and start to share that same feeling, it’s a great feeling overall. I’m incredibly proud of all the coaches and players. Not just the ones who are here now, but the ones that have really helped lay a foundation for us to get here.”

On Monday, Nov. 10, the Cougars were told they would be playing No. 3 seeded University of Kentucky (15-6 overall) in their first round match-up.

Burton said the team will not worry about its play as much as it will focus on the mental aspects.

“It’s not about soccer so much as it is about our willingness to step up and continue to raise our level, which our team has done a good job of up to this point,” Burton said. “It’s still soccer. It’s

still the same game. We’re Division I athletes, just like they are. It’s really just about getting our players to realize that’s the case, and it comes down to playing the game and performing.”

Winning the tournament was not an easy task for the team, as it had to grab two o v e r t i m e victories to win the

championship and come from behind in the victories. Burton said the team talked about staying focused in extra time.

“There’s always a little bit of anxiousness,” Burton said. “That was the thing I was talking about before we went out to start the overtime. From the sideline, it was just helping the players stay locked into the small things, especially defensively, so we didn’t give up a goal.”

On Friday, the first goal of the game came in the 75th minute, but it was to the opposing Morehead State University team.

Senior forward Macy Cobb scored her first goal of the season, hitting a shot from 10 yards out that found the back of the net.

The Cougars did not lie down though, and in the 85th minute, equalized off a penalty kick after the Morehead State goalkeeper was given a foul in the box. Senior forward Michelle Auer scored her ninth goal of the season on the play. Auer was not done getting on the score sheet.

In the 95th minute, during overtime, Auer sent a corner kick into the Morehead State box that found the head of junior midfielder Marissa Delgado, who headed home the gamewinning goal past the opposing goalie.

Burton said Delgado’s first goal of the season was nice to see for a player who does not score often.

“She wants so badly for the team to do well,” Burton said. “She never stops.

To see a player like that get a goal in a big moment — the biggest moment at that point — you just feel great for a player that works that hard and is such a great teammate. To get a little light shed on her, even though goal scoring | pg.9

isn’t what she’s about and it’s not what we ask her to be about, it’s always a great feeling when a player does get that moment.”

On Sunday, the Cougars went down 2-0 early against Jacksonville State University, but were helped by a quick scoring spree from Auer and sophomore forward Kayla Delgado.

In the 84th minute, Kayla Delgado scored her fifth goal of the season to cut the deficit to 2-1. A minute later, Auer got to the penalty spot for the second time in the tournament, and put away her 10th goal of the season to even the score.

Burton said the goals helped the team to victory, but it was not guaranteed.

“Certainly when a team scores two goals to tie the game up in the last five minutes of the game to go into overtime, you feel like that team has got the momentum going forward, and we did,”

Burton said. “We hung with it and paid attention to the details in overtime to make sure we didn’t have a lapse and allow them to win it.”

In the 95th minute, Kayla Delgado

the victory set in.

“It was pretty unbelievable,” Burton said. “It was shocking. I couldn’t believe what they just did and what we’d just seen and had been a part of. Then, really

gave the Cougars the OVC Championship and sent them to the NCAA Tournament with her sixth goal of the season. She hit a shot from 15 yards out that went past the Jacksonville State goalkeeper.

Burton said the team is still letting

for the last two days and that evening and moving forward to [Monday], it was just a whole lot of positive feelings and joy about what the team had accomplished and what we were all a part of.”

Both Kayla and Marissa Delgado, Auer and senior defender Samantha

Jones were all named to the AllTournament team. Auer was honored even further for her efforts, being named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.

Burton said the senior’s work ethic led to the achievement. “[It] was a clutch performance by a senior,” Burton said. “That’s what she’s made of. [Auer’s] made for those moments. That’s why we called her number when it’s time to take a penalty kick in a big moment. It’s certainly why she was awarded [Most Valuable Player] because without someone being able to step up in those big moments, we’re not still playing.”

The team’s first game of the NCAA Tournament is 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, when the Cougars travel to Lexington, Ken. to play the University of Kentucky. A full bracket of the tournament can be found at NCAA.com. #

The volleyball team continued to dominate as the Cougars improved their winning streak to a season-high five games.

Friday, the Cougars defeated Morehead State University 2520, 25-21, 25-23.

Junior middle blocker Kristen Torre collected 15 kills and finished the night with a .538 hitting percentage.

Sophomore outside hitter Taylor Held and freshman outside hitter Ashley Witt each collected seven kills on the match.

Head Coach Leah Johnson said the team had a great match and clicked from point one.

“I was pleased with how quickly we jumped on at the start,” Johnson said. “The volleyball wasn’t pretty, but our side of the net was determined to try to control the pace and the feel of the game. We also had a really awesome crowd; we had over 400 people here, and the gym was electric.”

Saturday, the Cougars bested Eastern Kentucky University 25-17, 25-27, 25-17, 21-25, 16-14.

Johnson said EKU was tied for second coming into the

weekend and to beat a team of that level is impressive.

“I think our team is really understanding how to execute game plan, put pressure on our opponents and make them respond to us,” Johnson said.

“That was a game changer in the second half of the season, but specifically on Saturday.”

The team also celebrated senior night, honoring libero Chelsea Colclasure and defensive setter Haley Norris. During the match, Colclasure collected a season-high 31 digs to contribute to the team’s 90 digs, another season best. Norris also lifted the defense, following Colclasure with 12 digs.

Johnson said it was special to honor Colclasure and Norris for their accomplishments. “[Colclasure] and [Norris] have had exceptional careers; they have been incredible leaders and mentors for our program,” Johnson said. “Their mark will be left well beyond their time here, and we are very thankful to them for all they have given to us.”

Torre topped Friday’s performance, finishing Saturday’s match with 19 kills, followed by Witt with 10. | pg. 10

Men’s soccer loses, seeded No.2 #$

! "$#

$ "

In its last regular season game, the men’s soccer lost on the road to Loyola University 1-0 on Saturday, Nov. 8.

Despite the loss, the Cougars have a 4-1-1 record in the Missouri Valley Conference and were given the No. 2 seed in the upcoming conference tournament, tied for the highest seed in program history with the 2012 team.

Co-Head Coach David Korn said his team had a serious chance of winning the game, but a few mistakes led to the team’s demise.

“I thought we did well in many phases of the game,” Korn said. “I thought our build-up play was good. I thought we were able to maintain possession, and we were able to dictate large portions of the game. Where we fell short is we generated a number of chances — we outshot our opponent — and didn’t take advantage of those chances, which for us on another night, we could’ve scored two or three goals.

I give credit to Loyola. They’re a good team and took advantage of their opportunities. We’re happy with the way that we played, but very disappointed with the result.”

The lone goal of the game came in the 33rd minute. Senior forward Brian Bement collected a long pass from midfield and put a shot past senior goalkeeper Kent Kobernus for his third goal of the season. Bement also had Loyola’s second and final shot of the game.

The Cougars outshot the home team 7-2 in the defeat. Korn said the only time the team did not have its best defense was when it allowed those two shots.

“I think the majority of our defensive play was good,” Korn said. “We had two lapses where we allowed them to get behind us.

On one, our goalkeeper made a very good save on and the other one they put away. Our goal was to get a shutout, so we were a little disappointed not to do that. We also need to be more efficient on the attack and maybe that would’ve overshadowed the mistake we made in the back.”

With the No. 2 seed in the MVC Tournament, the Cougars gets a first-round bye, meaning they will need to win two games to win the conference tournament and go on to the NCAA Tournament. Korn said the team has been prepared to take advantage of the day off since the season started.

“One of our goals coming into the season was to have a bye,” Korn said. “For us, it’s a big advantage. It’s proven to be historically in the tournament.

The extra rest goes a long way, along with the chances to observe our opponent and get to make some adjustments to what we do.

By and large, I think physically and psychologically it’s an advantage that now we need to use and make sure we put together a good performance on Friday.”

SIUE will face the winner of the Wednesday, Nov. 12 match-up between Evansville University and Bradley University. The team won its regular season games against both teams, defeating both teams 2-0.

Korn said there is an advantage to facing teams the team defeated in the regular season, but the Cougars cannot rely on that to get them a victory.

“I think there’s motivation on

both sides,” Korn said. “They’re both teams that we are familiar with playing a number of times during the last couple of seasons.

It’s great to have had a win against both teams in the regular season, but conference play, we know, is very different. More than anything, it’s about us performing and playing at the level we know we’re capable of. If we do that, I feel confident that our preparation will lead to the result that we’re looking for.”

With the ability to go on to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the program’s history, there is a lot on the line for the Cougars. Korn said in the days leading up to the tournament, he and the coaching staff will talk about being a coercive unit on the field.

“One, we want to have a defensive performance that relates to our energy and our communication for 90 minutes,” Korn said. “The other thing is that we want to be very focused and manage the game and the emotions of the game over the course of 90 minutes. We know this is the time of year where you have to be tight as a team, in terms of your chemistry. If we do that, I think it’ll translate into our play being very free, very natural. I think because of it, we’ll be able to attack and dictate the tempo of the game, as well as defensively be very organized and tuned into what we need to do.”

The team’s first game is at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 14, in Peoria. If the Cougars win, they will go on to the championship game at 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 16. %
