Alum documentary screens at Loft Victoria Pereira

A

UA alumnus is hosting the Tucson premiere of his eclectic, crazy and all-around fun film, “Giuseppe Makes a Movie,” this Saturday at 9 p.m. at The Loft Cinema.

Mike Plante, the senior programmer at Sundance Film Festival and one of the producers of “Giuseppe Makes a Movie,” graduated from the UA in 1994 with a degree in what was then known as media arts. From there, he worked at several independent film theaters and shops around Tucson, including The Loft, the Screening Room and Casa Video. While working at these places, Plante was publishing a film magazine that he put together and distributed himself.

In order to watch films and find things to discuss in his magazine, Plante said he traveled to a number of film festivals, including BeFilm, a New York underground film festival that had a history of playing films that go against traditional cinema in every sense of the word. While in attendance, Plante said he saw one of Giuseppe Andrews’ films and found his work to be intriguing, so Plante began interviewing him for

his magazine every once in a while.

Later, while working at the CineVegas International Film Festival, Plante said he and screenwriter, director and producer Adam Rifkin met when one of Rifkin’s films was shown in the fest.

Rifkin directed “Detroit Rock City,” a feature film that Andrews had starred in back in the 1990s, and he and Plante began discussing their mutual appreciation for Andrews’ films.

“He was always a very fascinating character,” Rifkin said. “The other kids in ‘Detroit Rock City’ would be off smoking pot or playing video games, but Giuseppe would want to sit on set all day and talk about moviemaking.”

After Andrews began making his own films, Rifkin said he noticed how strange and bizarre they were.

Finding his films and his process wildly intriguing, Rifkin said he asked Andrews if he could document a weekend of shooting. Andrews agreed, and Rifkin collected over 26 hours of footage over the course of the weekend shoot.

At the time he shot it, Rifkin hadn’t been able to find time to edit any of the footage together, but when he told Plante about the tapes, a new project was born. After

the two hired David Nordstrom as the editor and Plante took up the position of producer, it wasn’t long before the pile of raw footage was transformed into a feature-length documentary.

The documentary film chronicles Andrews and the creation of one of his films around the trailer park that he calls home. Featuring his neighbors from the trailer park complex and homeless people that reside nearby, Andrews’ films are not the typical Hollywood production.

Both Rifkin and Plante said they found it incredible that Andrews would make a film with people considered to be on the fringe of society. The cast and crew would develop a tight family atmosphere while working on the movie.

“Here are people who, if they were walking down the street, most people would cross to avoid them, and Andrews is embracing them and working with them as equals,” Rifkin said.

Andrews’ films are outrageous and crazy, as is the documentary that chronicles the making of one of them.

in Toronto, last year and has since gone on to screen at various festivals and at theaters all around the world.

The film has gained incredibly high reviews from critics and has been received exceptionally well by the public. Rifkin and Plante said they believed their documentary would never see the light of day, so they are beyond thrilled with the amount of success the film has seen so far.

Beyond all else, Plante said he hopes that Andrews’ creativity and

Romp and rave at BADLANDS EDM and hip-hop make a music collaboration at BADLANDS festival at The Slaughterhouse on Friday

n the past decade, electronic dance music and hip-hop worked to develop a sheepish on-stage relationship. The two widely popular, contemporary music genres are often prone to playing on-again off-again lovers, usually at the leisure of the electronic dance music scene. However, in more recent history, the genres have been placed on a collision course, forcing a more concrete relationship. This newly envisioned trajectory signals a more equal partnership between the two camps in club and festival scenes nationwide.

This Friday, The Slaughterhouse on Grant Road will host the first-annual BADLANDS mini-festival. The event will combine the works of such EDM artists as Will Sparks with such hip-hop artists as Waka Flocka Flame.

“Shortly after RETURN OF THE DARKSIDE last September, we started developing BADLANDS,” said Jason Sikorsky, BADLANDS event coordinator.

“Knowing that we wanted to do an EDM and hip-hop hybrid type show, we knew we had to look for talent from both genres that meshed well.”

Adopting a “Mad Max,” post-apocalyptic theme, BADLANDS works to construct a desert-esque, Burning Man vibe.

BADLANDS will mesh the sounds of bounce, electro-house and hip-hop to build the young festival’s narrative. Introducing the unique sound of Melbourne bounce to the Tucson scene, Sparks, premiere Australian DJ, will make his first Arizona appearance on his stateside tour.

“I’m really excited to be here for the first time,” Sparks said. “I’ve heard so much about it! At the moment, I have about eight unreleased tracks which I will play, … and there’s plenty of others, too. It’s gonna be [a show] to remember.”

Among international talent hitting the two BADLANDS stages is local artist Cameron Cannon. Born in Denver, Cannon said he relocated to Tucson two years ago to complete his undergraduate degree at the UA. “I got into the music scene when I was 16 years old,” Cannon said. “I began performing at the age of 17 during my first semester of my senior year of high school when I opened for Radical Something during their tour stop in Denver. Since then, I have performed for such acts as Juicy J, Lil Jon and Machine Gun Kelly. I would describe my style as more upbeat and energetic, though I don’t tend to stick

to one style in particular.”

Other local talent includes Michael Godovchik, who performs under the project name “Godovchik.” Tucson born and bred, Godovchik will represent the Tucson progressive house scene at BADLANDS. “I’ve never been so excited for a show before,” Godovchik said. “I’ve played so many now, I’ve lost count, but this is by far the biggest to date. I have about five new songs that I produced that I will be premiering Friday. I’m very excited to just get up there and move people [with my music].”

Utilizing nearly every social media site at their disposal, BADLANDS relies heavily on word-of-mouth advertising. Similar to RETURN OF THE DARKSIDE, Sikorsky and company implemented a campaign of over 100 people working the ground, posting flyers around the campus and other Tucson hotspots to attract their audience.

“We are excited for the turnout,” Sikorsky said. “Will Sparks is definitely at the top of his game when it comes to bounce music, so we’re excited to see how people react to his set at BADLANDS. And as of late, Waka Flocka Flame has found a lot of success with track collaborations with major EDM artists. Both EDM and hip-hop fans will enjoy this genre blending.”

Hopeful for the future of BADLANDS, Sikorsky is optimistic the reception of this new Tucson mini-festival will be widely received.

“If all goes well, we plan on continuing to do BADLANDS as an annual mini-festival here in Tucson,” Sikorsky said. “Next year, we’d like to continue to grow the brand and bring in bigger names. Down the road, we would love to expand BADLANDS into a two-day festival. We have big plans for this brand.”

BADLANDS proudly touts the collaboration of two unique sounds, as well as working to highlight the talent of international and local artists alike. This festival works as the sonic and cultural crossroads of popular American music in Tucson, bringing the many sounds of the two genres under the same roof.

“I want people to walk away saying they had a blast,” Godovchik said. “That’s what this music is really all about — just being with your best friends, forgetting all your problems, dancing and having the time of your life.”

Last call for Don Draper, ‘Mad Men’

L

ALEX GUYTON

oosen your tie, make an OldFashioned, close the door and have a seat. The final seven episodes of “Mad Men” begin Sunday.

Since it’s been more than 10 months since the air date of “The Beginning,” the first half of the seventh season, a refresher is necessary.

Netflix recently released these seven episodes, but if you don’t have access to Netflix or time to binge this weekend, here’s where the men and women of Madison Avenue were last left.

The ominously titled finale of the first half of season seven, “Waterloo,” saw two major shakeups in the “Mad Men” universe. First, Bert Cooper, one of the founders of the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency, lived to see the Apollo 11 mission place the first man on the moon, and not much else. The series mainstay, who would deliver much-needed wisdom in a crunch and required all who entered his office to remove their shoes, died.

On top of that, the allure and threat of McCann Erickson was finally fulfilled. Back in the first season, Jim Hobart, head of rival ad agency McCann Erickson, courted Don Draper to come work for him. Despite the small army of workers promised to him, Don rejected the offer, not wanting to sell out to the much larger firm.

Flash forward and “Waterloo” concludes with the partners of SC&P deciding to sell the majority of their company to McCann for a fat payday,

with Don signing a five-year contract.

Just as Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo and was forced into exile on St. Helena, “The End of an Era,” the title given to the upcoming last seven episodes, will answer the question of whether Don and company suffered their greatest defeat and relegated themselves to the fate of cogs in a much bigger machine.

True to form for the series, the description of “Severance,” the first of the final seven, is humorously ambiguous on details: “Don attempts to track down a friend; Joan tries to solve a problem with an account; an unlikely person sets up Peggy.”

Trying to gather any earth-shattering details would be as much a fool’s errand as trying to find a good bagel in California, according to Pete Campbell.

However, some hints can be gleaned of the overall direction of the final episodes and its protagonist. “Mad Men” creator and showrunner Matthew Weiner analyzed the season’s poster, which shows Don Draper, tie slightly loose, at the wheel, driving forward.

“It’s designed to tell you that Don is going somewhere,” Weiner said in Vulture. “But there is a feeling of, I hope, a little bit of a desperate drive.”

No matter how everything ends for Don, Peggy, Betty, Roger, Joan and Pete, it is, indeed, the end. Probably to the chagrin of the show’s network, AMC, and the show’s production company, Lionsgate Television, there will be

Old-Fashioned Recipe

no “Better Call Saul”-esque spinoff. Weiner has rejected all offers.

“I’m not interested,” Weiner said in an interview with TV Guide. “And I won’t budge on that. I love that this is it. If people are left wanting more, then you did your job right.”

Hopefully, Don and company can continue

moving towards the thing that has fleetingly, and tantalizingly, danced before their eyes. With any luck, Weiner imagines Don happy.

‘Once’ brings audience into the action ANNA MAE LUDLUM

L

eave your preconceptions of musical theater at the foot of the stage to join the cast of “Once” as they sing and play instruments with vivacity and foot-stomping fun.

Before Mumford & Sons, folk music was given new life in the 2006 independent Irish film “Once.” Starring “The Swell Season” musicians, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová also wrote the music for the show, winning a Best Original Song Academy Award and getting an adaptation into a 2012 Tony Award winner for Best Musical.

This production manages to compliment the film and add distinction, rendering it unjust to compare the two. The swift scene changes maintain the electric energy, adding little surprises used to comedic effect.

The stage serves as a common ground between the cast and audience, who can mingle in the on-stage Irish pub serving various Irish and Scotch whiskey prior to show as

the cast make the pub come to life with lively entertainment.

A piano and varied string instruments line the scuffed, checker-tiled pub covered in exposed light bulbs and distressed mirrors, reflecting the distress of the nameless main characters known as Girl (Dani de Waal), from the Czech Republic, and Guy (Stuart Ward), a Dublin native.

Ward takes the stage for the first time without a single word to sing Guy’s raw confessional song “Leave,” immediately striking the right chord for emotional impact; surrounded by golden lighting of nostalgia, he sets the mood of lost love, trepidation and stalled existence.

With eccentrically sweet earnestness, de Waal’s Girl is the model of literalness, bypassing the socially accepted and expected white lies found in the subtleties of one’s native language.

In her own words, “I’m Czech. I’m always serious.” However, she uses her accent to find the wit in dialogue that was once foreign to her.

“Falling Slowly,” the song that at once broke and healed hearts in 2006 is still captivating as

Ward and de Waal make the song their own, reflecting their chemistry as their charming accents seep into their singing.

How quickly the supporting cast disappears when the moment on stage is to involve only Guy and Girl. This is a credit to not only the strong presence of de Waal and Ward, but also to the ensemble’s talent to bounce from subtly enhancing the environment of the storytelling — providing harmony, dialogue and instrumental accompaniment — to hilariously unexpected over-the-top scenes of Girl’s Czech family and friends.

Girl’s candor and immediate validation of Guy’s talent as a singer/songwriter provides her the opportunity to write lyrics for a piece of music he’s written. The lyrics pour from her heart in “If You Want Me,” telling of her sorrows, of her own stalled world, as cast members Erica Swindell and Erica Spyres join Girl wearing headphones in a dance that can only be described as effectively mimicking a person’s physical responses to confusion, heartbreak and

desire.

In five days, an emotional bond develops as Girl pushes Guy to pursue his music career, reconnect with his ex-girlfriend and not fear his potential despite their kindling love.

In “Gold,” Guy’s outlook has clearly altered as he sings in the pub awash in blue light, like a baptismal rebirth. The exposed gold lightbulbs appear as stars in the night sky before the dawning of a new day, bringing new found hope in preparation for his first recording session.

“Once” is beautiful in its simplicity, exquisite in its honesty and bittersweet in little moments of tenderness as Guy and Girl allow themselves the briefest intimacy by lightly touching foreheads — expressing far more longing than, in Girl’s own words, “hanky-panky” ever could.

“Once” can be seen nightly in Centennial Hall until Sunday.

Tai chi, tea and traditional Chinese medicine Chelsea Cook

T

his weekend, the UA Confucius Institute and the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health are presenting Chinese Health Day 2015. The festivities will take place on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the UA Mall.

“The purpose of Chinese Health Day is to promote healthy lifestyles and overall wellbeing and to increase cross-cultural awareness on the UA campus and in surrounding communities,” said Zhao Chen, codirector of the Confucius Institute and professor of epidemiology and biostatistics.

The event is jam-packed with several different performances, lectures and activities that represent Chinese culture. Some events throughout the day will be basic medical activities, such as medical screening and assessments, while

others will teach the public about Chinese medicine. Some events throughout the day include Chinese massage, Chinese martial arts performances, a healthy Chinese food preparation show and Chinese food tasting. Other events — such as a traditional Chinese Lion Dance, a fashion show and a calligraphy exhibition — do not have much to do with health, but display the different elements of Chinese culture.

Two esteemed health professionals from around the world will be speaking at the event — Yong Ming Li, a New Jersey medical doctor and acupuncturist, and Jianping Liu, professor and head of the School of Basic Medical Sciences at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

Both Zhao Chen and John Olsen, professor of anthropology and codirector of the UA Confucius Institute, believe that sharing the special practices and approaches of the Chinese for good health is beneficial to the public.

All of the elements included in the Chinese Health Day — even dance, calligraphy and tea — are considered to be part of the regimen that keeps China’s population fit.

Saying farewell to Tucson’s artisan haven Victoria Pereira

M

aker House in downtown Tucson has been the place to be for the last two years, but its run is coming to an end.

Due to difficulties with making ends meet and unmanageable long hours for the executive staff, the maker space is closing its doors in just one week.

From independent music performances to quirky art shows to eclectic events of all kinds, the Maker House has created a place for people of all different backgrounds to come together as a community and celebrate the fun things in life.

“Maker House is about celebrating life more than anything else, and people of any age can do that,” said Mara McConnell, a freshman studying ecology and evolutionary biology.

McConnell said her mother is involved with Crafting Forward, an arts and crafts group that has held open hack and craft nights every Wednesday at Maker House. McConnell said she has attended the Cardboard Ball and visited the artisan space several times over the course of her freshman year, and expressed her disappointment in seeing it go before she was able to spend more time there.

McConnell’s feelings are

shared by a majority of the community. Maker House was a place for anyone and everyone to feel invited and find their niche.

For many, the house became something of a second home.

“For the majority of 2014, I was at Maker House — it was my home,” said Alex Dittrich, the lead barista. “I’m going to miss having a central place where people can just be themselves.”

Over the years, the maker space has been home to events like Comix It Up, the Deschutes Brewery Keg-Off, the Thrift Store Art Show and the 2015 New Year’s Party that was voted the best in Tucson. The weekly event calendar routinely featured blues and salsa dancing classes, open mic nights, hoop and flow jams, various arts and crafts nights, game nights and tournaments; the list goes on and on.

There was never a night where nothing was happening at Maker House.

For the final event of its twoyear history, Maker House will be hosting Open Source and Out, a last celebration at the artisan space to bring together the community it created. The farewell party will begin at 6 p.m. on April 11, and continue on into the early hours of the morning, as any good Maker House party does.

Many of the local performers that have frequented the Maker House stage will be performing at the

farewell party.

Tickets are already being presold at $15 apiece.

“It’s a culmination of a lot of the events we’ve had over the years,” said John Jacobs, the owner of Maker House. “It’s one final meetup with everybody that’s had an impact and contributed to this space over the last couple years.”

After the party is over, Maker House isn’t simply planning on fading into the shadows and becoming another legend in downtown Tucson’s past. The final party is called Open Source

and Out because the Maker House name, logo and all other copyrights and trademarks will become open for free use.

People anywhere in the country, or potentially in the world, can create their very own Maker House and use the name, logo and concept derived from the original. Jacobs and Matt Rios, the program manager at Maker House, plan to keep the space’s Facebook page up and running to refer people to new maker spaces using similar concepts.

The historic Bates Mansion that

has served as the ornate backdrop to Maker House’s insanity will be changed slightly and reopen as a wedding venue for couples looking to tie the knot with some artistic grandeur.

Despite the open sourcing and the future as a wedding venue, though, the original Maker House is still closing. So farewell, Maker House. Hopefully, we’ll see you again someday.

D&D Pinball gives wizards their fix Victoria Pereira

A

mongst the collection of bars, shops and restaurants that populate the ever-busy Fourth Avenue is the hidden gem of oldschool arcades: D&D Pinball.

D&D Pinball is located inside what used to be a large garage on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Seventh Street and is packed with 30 retro pinball machines of various themes, ages and skill levels. From “Creature from the Black Lagoon” to “The Twilight Zone” and everything in between, the collection includes something for everyone to recognize and play. There’s even a multi-game system where patrons can play one of almost 50 classic arcade games, including hits like “Pacman,” “Millipede” and “Galaga.”

The place is a nostalgic arcade-lover’s dream and every week between Thursday and Sunday, anyone can walk in and play — if they have quarters, of course. All of the machines are coin-operated, with some of the more popular ones that provide longer gameplay running 75 cents a play, while others are either 50 or 25 cents. There’s a coin dispenser in the shop, just in case you forget to empty your piggy bank before visiting.

D&D Pinball has only been in Tucson for a little under a year and a half. Originally, the place was just a venue for the two original owners to exhibit their pinball collection to Tucson. They said they thought it would be fun to run the place for six months, so they set it up and ran it for half a year.

Throughout the beginning of D&D, the popularity of the place grew thanks to pinball players and Tucson residents alike. With its success and the positivity it received from the community, two friends of the original owners decided to take over the place and keep it running.

Constance Negley and Robert Noble took ownership of D&D Pinball last May and have continued to run and improve it over the past year. They each have a history of enjoying

pinball and they said they wanted to protect it, since it isn’t very prominent in Tucson. D&D Pinball is one of the only places in the state that has classic arcade pinball machines, and they said the handful of other places don’t have nearly as nice of a collection as this one.

“I get people coming into our shop all the time telling us that they’re so happy to have found this place when there’s nothing else like it in Arizona,” Noble said.

Negley and Noble said their main priority is to provide classic entertainment to all ages in a family-friendly environment with high-quality pinball machines, and they continue to add things to help contribute to these goals.

People are constantly calling up the pinball partners, offering to sell old machines that they don’t want or have a use for anymore.

Oftentimes, Negley and Noble decline because the machines tend to be those that are in significant disrepair, but on the occasion that they are offered a nice machine, they can add another member to the collection.

Being one of the only pinball arcades in Tucson, many people from around the state and sometimes even out of state stop by to play.

“We’re the only big arcade in Arizona and the second largest in the Southwest,” Negley said. “We have a lot of players who come in and make a day of it, eat down on Fourth and then come play some pinball.”

Negley and Noble also host tournaments at least once each month on the third Sunday of the month, beginning at 10 a.m. The International Flipper Pinball Association also held its state championship tournament at

WHITE AND GOLD The UA’s Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew’s ‘unconventional family’ comes together through dance and performance M S

B

eing a college student is truly a beautiful thing.

Stress, tests and homework may often hide that beauty, but still, its presence is palpable in the air on a college campus — or at least on the UA’s campus. The beauty lies in the freedom to seek out that which inspires and sustains a life of creativity, individuality and fulfillment.

Starting a club is one way to take advantage of this freedom, and that is exactly what Ali Burnette, founder of the Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew at the UA, did. Since 2005 , when her passion and commitment to the art led her to create the group, her legacy at the UA has endured.

Burnette’s legacy has directly impacted Cristina Florez , a nutritional sciences senior and the current president of the Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew. “[Burnette] really wanted to perform, so she got a group of people together who were friends,” Florez said. “They practiced off campus, and they decided the girls would wear black, the guys would wear blue, and it was just a silly thing they kind of put together.”

Florez said the group didn’t perform publicly during its first year of existence. As time went on, Black N’ Blue approached many different people in the community to

find events and venues to perform at. As of today, Florez said the group has certain annual , staple performances that range from sorority and fraternity gatherings to charity events to Spring Fling .

However, every year, there are new places to perform and new people to entertain and spread the joy of dance to. For example, Florez said the crew recently performed for Camp Wildcat , where they also taught the kids the wobble.

“I mean, for me now, 10 years later, it’s easy for me because I get all the emails of all the performances,” Florez said. “I don’t have to reach really out to anyone. If I did, we’d be way overbooked.

We started from the bottom and kind [of ] worked our way through. … [The club] was really just a basis for university students who still had this desire to entertain and wanted to still perform, and so we gave them the opportunity.”

According to Florez, the opportunity to perform and showcase her talents as a dancer makes the club an essential aspect of her college experience. Florez also said the club fosters a friendly and inviting atmosphere and resembles a tight-knit family.

“I think we have a very family-oriented environment,” Florez said. “I thought, after high school, I was never [going to] perform again, and that made me really sad. I still taught, and I took class, but I [wanted] to perform. …

When I came to auditions my

sophomore year, everyone was so nice to me and that’s really important to me — to have people who are just genuine and awesome and there for a good time. I just loved every second.”

Garrett Biselli , a marketing junior and the vice president of the club, said he also found Black N’ Blue to be a special dance refuge.

“It’s where I can go to express myself, more so because in class or in passing, I’m more of a reserved person,” Biselli said. “But when I go to dance, I feel like I can really just open up and let go of anything that’s happening and just share who I really am.”

Similarly to Florez, Biselli stressed the family aspect of the crew.

“Everyone supports each other even if you’re from different studios,” Biselli said.

“It’s all about camaraderie.

And it’s just a lot of fun to see what different people bring to the table.”

By nature, families evolve and grow, and the Black N’ Blue team openly advocates this expansion by holding auditions every fall and $5 master classes every month in the Ina E. Gittings building where the club normally rehearses.

“I’ve really wanted to offer [master classes] as a monthly thing this year, so that people could come and get to know us and see what we’re about,” Florez said. “I think that dance is such a positive thing for anyone really. It’s a stress

reliever. It makes you sweat, and it’s fun. … We have a different member of the team choreograph every single time.”

To see Black N’ Blue in action, fans can attend the 1 Block 1 Day Festival this Saturday .

According to its Facebook page, the festival is a “24-hour block party,” hosted by The Human Project in part with other local partnerships.

“The purpose is to create a space (One Block) where for 24 hours (One Day) our world is a complete utopia, free of crime, gender biases, racial tensions, socioeconomic woes or any other reasons that separate us,” the event page states.

The Black N’ Blue Hip Hop Crew may not be a conventional family, but dance has brought them together to do what they love, and the rest is easy to ignore.

These ideals make the club a pivotal part of Saturday’s festival.

’Cats give up runs late in defeat to USC

BY James Kelley The Daily Wildcat

No. 9 USC beat No. 22 Arizona baseball 4-1 on Thursday night to snap the Wildcats’ six-game win streak in the opening of their threegame series.

The Trojans (23-6, 5-2 Pac-12 Conference) limited the Wildcats (227, 7-3) to four hits after Arizona had seven, 11 and 14 hits in its last three games.

“They did what we did not do [Thursday] night,” Arizona coach Andy Lopez said. “They put three really good at bats together, whack, whack, whack, and that loses us the game.”

USC struck first, scoring on a double play in the first inning.

However, Arizona tied it up off a solo home run by second baseman Scott Kingery in the third inning.

The Wildcats threatened to take the lead in the sixth inning on a squeeze play, but first baseman J.J. Matijevic

was thrown out at home. Arizona loaded the bases on an infield single

by Kingery, but shortstop Kevin Newman flied out with two down.

Cody Hamlin (4-1) got the start and suffered his first loss of the season.

He pitched six-plus innings; gave up seven hits, four earned runs and two walks; and struck out four.

Hamlin said he was pitching well until he stopped hitting his spots.

Brent Wheatley (2-1) started for USC and went 5.2 innings, giving up two hits, one earned run and eight walks and striking out two.

“You have to take advantage of those situations, and obviously, we didn’t,” Lopez said about USC’s walks.

Arizona pitcher Cody Moffett relieved Hamlin with a Trojan on first and no outs in the seventh, but only lasted one hitter, whom he hit.

UA pitcher Nathan Bannister relieved Moffett and quieted the Trojan rally by giving up one hit in 2.1 innings.

triple by second baseman Dante Flores in the next half inning. Third baseman Blake Lacey drove Flores in during the next at bat.

“I thought he was good except for that one inning,” Lopez said about Hamlin. “It was whack, whack, whack. Up until that inning, his pitch count was down, he was doing a good job, it was a 1-1 game.”

Lacey stole second and then Moffett hit USC designated hitter David Oppenheim.

Bannister struck out the next batter after a bunt single, and the Wildcats almost got out of the inning on a double play, but Trojan left fielder Bobby Stahel was safe at first and the

Trojans scored their fourth run.

Arizona center fielder Justin Behnke led off the ninth with a double, but the Wildcats were unable to advance him after lining out, popping out and lining out again to end the game.

USC has now won four straight against Arizona.

The Wildcats swept back-to-back Pac-12 series during their winning streak, including a road trip to Stanford, for the first time since 2005.

“We weren’t concentrating on it too much,” Hamlin said about the win streak. “We knew we’re a hot ball club, but we were trying to keep that rolling.”

The Wildcats continue the early series tonight at 6 p.m. and it will be broadcast on Pac-12.com.

Tonight’s probable starters are leftie Kyle Twomey (4-1, 1.87 ERA) for USC and right-hander Robby Medel (1-2, 3.89 ERA) for the UA. “That’s what a Friday night game in the Pac is probably going to be like,” Lopez said. “It’s who gets it done. If we can get it done in the sixth, maybe we’re the ones that are here talking about, ‘ooh, what a nice night.’ So we’ll get back to work tomorrow.”

Arizona’s offense explodes in victory

BY Roberto Payne The Daily Wildcat

What started out as a back-and-forth affair between No. 18 Arizona softball and Oregon State, quickly turned into a blowout in the top half of the sixth inning for the Wildcats.

Arizona (28-9, 4-3 Pac-12 Conference) went off for seven runs in the inning to break up a 2-2 tie after five innings and defeated Oregon State 9-3 in Corvallis, Ore. UA catcher Chelsea Goodacre started off the inning with a walk and ended up walking again later in the same inning, as the Wildcats went through the entire batting order.

The first big dent of the inning came just a few at bats later when Arizona utility player Mandie Perez knocked a double to left center to score Goodacre and UA infielder Lauren Young. Arizona infielders Kellie

Fox and Hallie Wilson combined to drive in three more runs and another run scored on a wild pitch to make the 2-2 tie a 9-2 Arizona lead.

Oregon State had pulled ahead 2-0, with solo home runs from Mikela Manewa and CJ Chirichigno in the third and fourth innings, respectively. Fox drilled a two-run home run down the right field line to tie the game at 2-2 before that seven-run sixth inning.

Oregon State (23-12, 4-6) starting pitcher Beverly Miller lasted just 1.1 innings before giving way to Taylor Cotton, Heidi Hall and Rainey Dyreson for the rest of the game.

Miller didn’t allow a run and gave up just one hit over her short time on the mound.

Cotton, Hall and Dyreson didn’t fare as well.

The trio combined to allow nine runs, walk eight Arizona batters and throw 154 total pitches.

Michelle Floyd got the start for Arizona

on the mound and went four innings.

Floyd gave up two early runs, walked three and registered three strikeouts in 72 total pitches.

Freshman pitcher Trish Parks came on in relief and pitched three innings of one-run softball. Parks ended with three strikeouts and one walk, in addition to hitting three batters.

Floyd and Parks combined to three-hit the Beavers on their home turf.

Oregon State got more runners on base because of combined walks (four) and HBPs (three) than hits (three). The Beavers and Wildcats each left seven runners on base.

The Wildcats finished the game with more runs (nine) than hits (eight), as Fox led the way by going 2-4 with four RBIs, the two-run home run and a double.

Wilson, Chelsea Suitos and Perez aided Fox in the offensive performance. They

combined to go 4-11 with four RBIs, two doubles and two walks.

The Wildcats were caught stealing for the first time this season when Arizona utility player Ashleigh Hughes was thrown out in the top of the third inning. Arizona went into Thursday’s action a perfect 3939 on stolen base attempts and went 1-2 against the Beavers to bring the season total to 40-41.

Arizona continues the series with two weekend games against Oregon State in Corvallis. After Thursday’s offensive explosion, Arizona coach Mike Candrea surely would take a repeat performance over the last two games of the series.

Sand volleyball hosts Lobos

BY JORDYN OWEN The Daily Wildcat

Arizona sand volleyball will hit the sand again this weekend as it hosts the New Mexico Lobos for two matches on Saturday and Sunday.

After last weekend’s loss to Nebraska in the Wildcat Spring Challenge, which was a first for the Wildcats this season, Arizona coach Steve Walker focused practice on getting better at what he calls the principles.

“Coming off the weekend, there were some things that we just didn’t do very well, certain skills.” Walker said. “I didn’t think our setting or our approaches offensively to either attack or place the ball were as crisp or as good as they’ve been in the past. So those have been some points of emphasis this week.”

Setting has been an emphasis for the Wildcats the entire season thus far. With so many athletes transferring from indoor volleyball to sand volleyball, they have to get used to doing everything on the sand

versus having a more specific role as they are used to for indoor.

“You have to pass, you have to hit, you have to be able to set, and in indoor it’s more focused on, like, your one position,” Arizona indoor and sand volleyball player Taylor Arizobal said. “I was always hitting and passing, and I obviously never had to really worry about setting, so it’s a little different.”

Another area that the Wildcats struggled with against Nebraska was the Cornhuskers’ ability to block. Madi Kingdon said they were just not used to the size of block that Nebraska put up.

When asked if that was an area of focus in practice this week, Walker said they don’t anticipate seeing that kind of challenge against their opponents in the weeks to come.

Suffering the first loss of a season after going undefeated for weeks is a tough blow for any team. The Wildcats responded by taking it as an opportunity to learn from their mistakes and improve their game.

“I think it prepared us a lot,” Kingdon said. “This was

probably the best team we’ve played so far, so I think it’s showed us that we need to elevate our game a little bit, and there are still little things that we need to work on.”

New Mexico is in its first year as a program and is 1-6 so far this season. The Wildcats went 8-12 in their first year as a program last season.

Arizona still holds the No. 10 rank in the AVCA sand volleyball poll and has its sights set on postseason play. The next step in the Wildcats’ season is to take down the Lobos this weekend at the Sand Volleyball Courts at Jimenez Field, which are more informally referred to as “bear down beach.”

The teams will face off at 2 p.m. on Saturday and then again at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

As always, admission to all home games is free of charge.

Blankets or lawn chairs are also recommended since there is no formal seating at the courts.

Gymnastics heads to regionals

BY Matt Wall

The Daily Wildcat

The No. 18 Arizona gymnastics team will travel to Columbus, Ohio, to compete in the Columbus NCAA Regional on Saturday.

The road past the regional will be a difficult one for the GymCats as they will compete against No. 6 Michigan, No. 7 UCLA, No. 21 Central Michigan, Kentucky and Ohio State.

“We’re not afraid of anyone,” Arizona coach Bill Ryden said. “The thing is, we have been everywhere; we’ve been in front of huge crowds, overcome adversity; we’ve lost top point scorers, and they have always come out with a smile and working their hardest. There’s no guarantee of the result, but I can guarantee their effort.”

The event marks what could possibly be the seniors’ final competition in Wildcat uniforms.

But what means even more to the program as a whole is the fact that it is appearing in its 29th consecutive regional.

“It’s a huge eye opener for the program to let everybody know that, consistently, over the years, we have been able to go to regionals,” Arizona gymnast Shay Fox said. “We’re just ready to go to Ohio and be against those teams and kind of prove ourselves.”

The goal is to make it to Nationals, but

first, the Wildcats have to get by some of the country’s best teams in Michigan and UCLA. Luckily for the Wildcats, Ryden has been in this position many times before — 17 to be exact.

“Our biggest thing was the health and getting them enough rest,” Ryden said on this week’s Ryden Show. “The team — I couldn’t be more confident in how they are competing and what they will do. The reality is the team is prepared.

We’re just looking forward to the competition.”

But this will not be UCLA coach Valorie Kondos, Central Michigan coach Jerry Reighard or Michigan coach Bev Plocki’s first rodeo either. Both Kondos and Plocki have been at the head of their programs for the past 25 years, while Reighard has been the head of the Chippewas for the past 29 years.

The Wildcats’ rotation will begin on the balance beam, followed by a bye, floor, vault and another bye, and will conclude with the uneven bars.

“I’m most excited to see this team compete,” Ryden said. “This year has really been a great year for a lot of reasons when you think of all the struggles and obstacles the team has overcome. The team is ready to compete and certainly is not going to be awed or intimidated in any way.”

Senior Allie Flores still believes that this team

has the ability to go all the way, despite being unable to compete after suffering a seasonending injury.

“I think the biggest thing this team has is chemistry,” Flores said on the Ryden Show.

“We [mesh] really well and really get along with each other and have gone through so much this summer, through preseason. We’re working

towards the same things, and I think that chemistry and all of that is really important, and it’s going to take us all the way.”

Ryden had one last motto for his team before they compete: “This team is far from done.”
