Compliment Mondays used to create ‘sense of belonging’ on campus By Abby Welsh Reporter
YourFellowFalcon members are yelling at people something you wouldn’t expect to hear. To yourFellowFalcon members, Monday’s at the University are now called, “Compliment Mondays.” Sophomores Quentin Michael and Deanna Niese, along with the eight other yourFellowFalcon members, hold signs around the campus that say “Compliment Mondays” while yelling out compliments to students, staff and faculty. Michael and Niese, said they decided to put the idea of complimenting people into action after watching the inspirational YouTube video yourFellowFalcon members discovered. The video was about two men from Purdue who said they simply “like to make people’s days” with genuine compliments. “The video with the Purdue guys definitely sealed the deal for me,” Niese said. This video sparked interest for yourFellowFalcon members to make this a permanent part of the University. “We strive to create a ‘sense of belonging’ for each student on campus,” said Brandi Barhite, adviser of yourFellowFalcon. She said yourFellowFalcon’s main purpose of Compliment Mondays is to “make people feel good on Monday, which is typically a ‘blah’ day.” The nice thing about these compliments is
that they are only said if meant. “We only compliment what we truly like. Our compliments are genuine,” Barhite said. Compliment Mondays have been put into action since Sept. 26. Whenever Michael or Niese along with the others have time to yell out compliments, they scatter around campus with their signs and yell happiness to students for about 15 minutes. Michael, the yourFellowFalcon in charge of Compliment Mondays, said he was inspired to start this at the University because the thought of complimenting people with generic compliments would “make everyone smile.” Michael is usually out with his partner Niese whenever they have time but now have a set time at 4:30-5:30 p.m. by the seal and encourages anyone and everyone to join in on spreading the smiles around campus. Michael said they are trying to formulate a schedule for everyone who shouts out compliments throughout the day. “If anyone is interested in participating in this, they can find me on Facebook if they can spell my name right,” Michael said. YourFellowFalcon likes to emphasize how this will be a yearlong effort, Barhite said. No matter how bad the weather may be, the compliments will still be coming your way. “I would really like to see more people take

We the Kings, Andy Grammar play at Cla-Zel Performers offer free show in the city Tuesday By Leslie McGriff Reporter
Andy Grammer and We the Kings are no strangers to touring in Ohio. “Ohio is probably in the top five states we play every year,” said Travis Clark, lead singer of We the Kings. According to the S-Curve Records website, We the Kings released its first album in 2007. The band sparked in popularity with its first single “Check Yes Juliet.” Clark loves live shows because “it’s just fun to play in a crowd and get the response from everybody.” If you are unfamiliar with the band, Clark requests you listen to three songs; “Say you like me,” “Check Yes Juliet” and “ We’ll Be A Dream”.
Clark said those songs show a great variety of the band’s music. We the Kings will be performing for free at Cla-Zel along with Andy Grammer on Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. “Free shows are amazing.” Clark said. “None of [We the Kings] had money growing up, so to be able to go to a free show was amazing.” Grammer enjoys playing live shows because the people who are coming really want to see what the performer has to offer. “I’ve been [playing music] for a while, I just feel so lucky,” Grammer said about his music becoming pop-

STEP TO IT
Future construction could cost nearly $200 million By Alissa Widman Managing Editor
Although current construction on campus is nearing its completion, more could soon be approaching. Focus will shift to academic buildings, through what University officials are describing as a “regeneration of the academic core.” The Board of Trustees unanimously approved Friday spending nearly $10 million to plan and design the next phase of the University’s master plan. Steve Krakoff, associate vice president of Capital Planning and Design, outlined the project at Friday’s meeting. “We continue to make aggressive strides with campus development,” he said. “We consider it, essentially, a good start ... This will have direct impact on the academic mission of the University.” The project could cost nearly $200 million, he said. There is currently
CAMPUS University Homecoming
no timeline in place for the project. A priority is significant restoration of the “traditions buildings” — Hanna, Moseley, South and University halls — into “next-generation teaching and learning spaces,” as well as constructing a new building for the College of Business Administration, Krakoff said. After those buildings are completed, several others are slated for eventual demolition. These include West and Memorial halls and the Education, Administration and Family Consumer Sciences buildings. “The amount of money we would spend renovating [these buildings] would reach 40 to 50 percent of their replacement cost,” Krakoff said. “Focusing on gutting and updating the traditions buildings would be a much more cost-effective use of space.”

It’s Thursday afternoon and I am standing in the middle of the on-campus cemetery. Fortunately, the death of a loved one didn’t warrant my presence at one of the University’s least populated areas (by the living, that is). No, I was compelled to
explore a place that few others dared to. Every morning, as I hike to my classes from the far-distant Balkan regions, otherwise known as Kreischer, I see the graveyard.

‘The pill’ grants equality to women Phil Schurrer’s article (‘The Pill’ Brings Negative Consequences) in Wednesday’s issue of The BG News is a good example of the important difference between causation and correlation. He claims the attitudes of men have changed because women now have control over whether or not they get pregnant. He claims the advent of the birth control pill causes men to treat women poorly.
ence a day makes. In 1968, the Bowling Green campus was a hotbed of anti-war sentiment, and the ROTC cadets were taunted as “ROTZ Nazis.” Me and my ROTC buddies tried never to wear uniforms to class as we were ridiculed by the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) instructors. We would schedule our classes so as to allow an hour before ROTC classes to change into uniform. People would throw trash at us when we would hold our annual review.
Fast-forward to 2011, and the last commencement speaker was a Staff Sergeant E-6 Air Force Active Duty type. Back in June ‘68 when I was commissioned, Medal of Honor recipient Lew Millet conducted the ceremony, and nobody besides us cadets were even aware of his presence on campus. Now the campus reveres an E-6 AF dude. How did we get here from there? Why is there no notable student protest against our Phony Wars on Terror? Don’t say you don’t have
time, because student dissent helped stop the Vietnam War. Why is a low-ranking enlisted man elevated to commencement speaker and an anti-war advocate ignored? It feels like I’m out of time, out of place, a stranger in a strange land. When a formerly liberal college is not even interested in “fair and balanced,” we are traversing strange terrain.
His claims stem from a Pope Paul VI paper from 1968. However, what Pope Paul VI’s paper appears to predict is a pattern of behavior that predates the birth control pill by thousands of years. It is very easy to be right when you can hide the fact that what you’re predicting has already happened. Long before women had the power to dictate the terms of their reproduction, men took multiple women, married them, made more little women and traded them away (to other
men) for goods and livestock. Men have seen women as sexual commodities since men and women have existed together. What the birth control pill correlates with is a movement to grant women equality. In regards to sexuality this gives people of all genders the right to express their bodies. It is more valuable to promote an open discussion, to inform people on how to build nurturing relationships and practice safe sex. Men are not having more sex
because there is a birth control pill. Rather, because there is a birth control pill, fewer women are having to raise families without fathers. If a woman has the desire to express her body, there should not exist gender barriers that prevent her from doing so. Even though I am a man, I think that what we do and with whom we do it should be something we are all free to decide. Even women.

Tax proposal may Contraceptives have consequences weren’t created to defer sex PHIL PHI SCHURRER SCHUR FACULTY FACUL COLUMN COLUMNIST
Herman Cain seems likable enough; however, his 9-9-9 tax proposal is not. His tax plan proposes a 9 percent flat federal individual income tax rate, a 9 percent flat federal corporate tax rate, and a 9 percent federal sales tax. The flat tax on both corporations and individuals is touted as a solution to the tax complexity problem, but it’s a solution to a problem that doesn’t truly exist. Of greater concern is the proposed federal sales tax. First, a few facts: The tax rate schedule for individuals and corporations is one of the easiest parts of the American tax code to understand. Anyone with a modicum of spreadsheet capability can construct a lookup table in less than an hour that will give the correct
amount of tax for a given level of taxable income, whether for an individual or a corporation. No, the problem isn’t with the multiplicity of tax rates. The problem of tax complication is exemplified by, among many other things; the interplay of tax credits, the special treatment given to specific types of income, the problem of determining dependency status and, lest we forget, the fact that much of the tax code’s intricacy is driven by political and lobbying considerations. Another thing seldom considered: from an economic standpoint, corporations pay no income tax. They include the tax into the price of goods sold or services provided, just as they would the light bill, advertising expense and rent charges. The ultimate customer pays the tax. Sales taxes are regressive. They impact the poor to a greater degree than other groups.

CASSANDRA COLLIER GUEST COLUMNIST
On Wednesday, I was intrigued that such bold statement was in the headlines. I’m of course referring to the article by Phil Schurrer, “The ‘pill’ brings negative consequences.” As I was reading, I was aghast at some of the claims that this faculty member was making: largely value-laden statements that shouldn’t have a place in a debate, along with some audacious comments that had no support. There was much going on in that article that I took issue with, but I’ll try to keep it brief. In his first remarks, Mr. Schurrer offers that the pill
causes men to see women as ‘sexual playthings.’ While I realize Mr. Schurrer comes from a previous generation where male-female interactions were dominated by idealizations (Leave it to Beaver, anyone?), I highly doubt that an oral contraception completely divested men of their ‘inherent’ interest in being a committed partner and loving father. In fact, there is overwhelming evidence that throughout the course of history, there have been men that were unconcerned with the consequences of unprotected sex: Genghis Khan (circa 12th century) and Giacomo Casanova (circa 18th century), to invoke a couple more famous names. The ‘pill’ was definitely not even in mind in those times,

Feminism, “the pill” need clarification ABBEY HILBORN GUEST COLUMNIST
As a modern day woman, when I first considered going on the pill, I obviously turned to a 43 year-old, Vatican published paper as my guiding light. Wait. Now that I think about it, I didn’t do that. I actually talked to my gynecologist. Silly me. Despite my sarcasm (and a little snark), this is no laughing matter. The fact that women are still facing the same anti-birth control rhetoric is unbelievable. This same article is being published every other month in The BG News. Mr. Schurrer is doing nothing more than fear mongering and trying to scare women into what he believes is the “right” lifestyle choice. Not only is his argument completely outdated, but the whole article is completely ignorant and stereotypes at every possible moment. Example #1: Feminism. There is a difference between “acting like men” and challenging traditional gender roles. We don’t want to be men; we want to be respected
COLLIER From Page 4 and yet they had no problems with enjoying carnal pleasures as the mood struck them. Most troubling of all Mr. Schurrer’s remarks was his arbitrary linkage of the pill to the feminist movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Wow, I’m pretty shocked. As a women’s studies major and a history enthusiast, I hadn’t realized that the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 had nothing to do with feminism, or the larger suffrage push in the early 1900s before the 19th Amendment didn’t matter either. I suppose Mr. Schurrer also hadn’t heard of Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique. Most people who have at least begun a cursory look at feminism usually credit that book as the catalyst for second-wave feminism. However, I can understand that as a faculty member busy with primarily accounting-based information wouldn’t have the background knowledge off-hand. (Our library is fabulous and a great way to learn about something new). I’m also concerned with the
as women because women are people too. If you don’t know what feminism is, I suggest you stop by the Women’s Studies Department. Unless of course you want to spout off untrue stereotypes as old as the pill. Example #2: The idea that the pill makes women “promiscuous” is dumbfounding. There is no secret drug in the pill that triggers a woman’s mind into believing that she can start having a crazy amount of sex that she wasn’t having before the pill. To insinuate this is the only lifestyle choice the pill caters too is another attempt at fear mongering. Women who are married are on the pill, women who are single, women who are in committed relationships, and women in open relationships are all on the pill. The pill isn’t made for the sole purpose for women to jump into a different bed every night. That was happening way before the pill came around and there is nothing wrong with that. This is a lifestyle choice and just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t make it any less valid. Example #3: The last lines of the article are the most disturbing as he declares women to be selfish, irresponsible, and ill-prepared for the conse-
quences of the pill. Isn’t the reason that the pill was invented was to avoid the consequences of sex, i.e. babies? However, Mr. Schurrer’s ideas of consequences are marital infidelity, loss of love and intimacy in a relationship, etc. The pill doesn’t turn women into sex-fiend robots who are unable to love. You can be in a loving relationship and be on the pill, simply because you are capable to do so. Also, if my hypothetical husband’s reason for cheating on me was because I was on the pill, I would drop him like a bag of dirt for not keeping it in his pants. In addition, a woman on the pill who is sexually active is extremely responsible. Making decisions for yourself and deciding what you want to do with your own body without anyone else’s influence is a huge sign of maturity. Although there is so much more I want to say, I don’t have the time to get into it. I will leave you with the following words: if a woman is on the pill and is sexually active, no matter the personal situation, it is nobody’s business but her own.
statement about giving women an ‘excuse’ to act like men. It sounds like Mr. Schurrer has some pretty low opinions of his gender. It also strikes me as ‘do as I say, not as I do, ladies.’ Both are troubling — it’s against the egalitarian spirit of feminism to engage in male bashing, or to expect anything but a level playing field from anyone. Yet again, Women’s Studies isn’t Mr. Schurrer’s forte, so I’m more than happy to provide that voice. Mr. Schurrer also claims the ‘pill’ would increase selfishness, marital infidelity and pleasure without consequences. It is a physiological reality that the human body orgasms in response to sexual stimulation. If it is innately ‘selfish,’ is this an argument to teach our bodies not to receive pleasure from sexual behavior? I believe “Lie Back and Think of England” represented dark days in terms of female sexuality. And considering there are provisions from the dawn of time to handle adulterous behavior, including in the Bible, which the author of Humanae Vitae must have been familiar with, it’s safe to say that even some married people were unfaithful to one another
before oral contraception. Mr. Schurrer ends his thoughts of what he believes should accompany sex with trying to establish the ‘pill’ as a cause for the ‘rise of relativism,’ inclusion of outdated and disproven information regarding the pill and breast cancer, etc. In BG1000, when we teach critical thinking, we implore students to stay away from ideology-driven claims, since they’re largely unfounded and based on personal beliefs that individuals have. The facts are simple: using birth control does many wonderful things for women such as menstrual regulation and providing the tools to control one’s own body. Using condoms is an extremely responsible act that not only provides contraception but protection from STI’s. Why are we discouraging people practicing critical thinking based on one religion’s values system? I strongly encourage everyone to check the facts, talk to a doctor, and form their own opinion rather than relying on such baseless claims.

KELLER From Page 4 we walked around, regrettably paying more attention to our conversation than our surroundings. After we left, I felt the urge to go back. I vowed to return. My revisit was delayed by school work and life in general, but I made it nonetheless. Accompanied by another friend who understood that this was a fact-finding mission, we ventured off. As we entered the Oak Grove Cemetery, we were welcomed by a charming lily pond equipped with a soothing waterfall. Perhaps places like these weren’t as spooky and intimidating as often portrayed. We spent about an hour meandering up and down the various stones. Colorful flower arrangements dotted the fall landscape. Some graves, like the one expertly carved in the shape of a tree and one
PHIL From Page 4 The money paid by a poor family in sales taxes takes a greater portion of their wealth than the same amount from a wealthier family, even though both purchased the same items and paid the same sales tax. Some would say that the solution to this would be exemptions in the proposed federal sales tax for life’s basic necessities. But, based on the experience of the states that impose a sales tax, exemptions lead to mind-numbing intricacy. For example, if the proposed federal sales tax would exempt “food,” the very term “food” would have to be defined. Anything fit for human consumption and needed to sustain life? What about soft drinks and chewing gum? If a proposal is
with iron hands folded in prayer atop it, stood out from the others. I felt sorry for the older stones that were too weathered and diminished to read who lay beneath. We contented ourselves with brushing off the wet grass and leaves nature had left behind. Our interest was sufficiently piqued when we approached one the two stony mausoleums. The metal door was locked by an orange, rusty chain that hadn’t been opened in years. We stood on our tiptoes, wishing for just a peek inside, and wondering about the lives of the people resting inside. We walked back exhilarated by all we experienced. Because of horror movies, people’s reactions to cemeteries are more skewed to favor the supernatural. When they visit, some believe they are likely to spot a malevolent ghost rather than have a nice time appre-
ciating the grounds. Cemeteries are literally a portal into another time. Some of the older plots have been around since the early 1800s; a hundred years before the University was even established. These places are a history lesson all their own. However, if you decide to explore, remember to be respectful. Cemeteries do hold many sad memories for those who have loved ones resting there. The scary season of Halloween is fast approaching and instead of regarding the cemetery with fear, walk inside. Take a look at the stones and watch as BG’s history unravels before you. This week, I urge you to find yourself standing in the middle of the cemetery, and discover what historical mysteries await.
made to deny the exemption for these two items, expect to see intense lobbying from their respective industries. What about food consumed on or off the premises? In many states, food consumed on the premises of a fast food eatery is considered restaurant food and thus taxable. But the same food ordered from the same fast food place and taken off the premises is considered the equivalent of food purchased at the local grocer. Some states exempt food purchased in bulk from sales taxes. One state defined “bulk purchases” as the purchase of more than six similar items. What followed was a classic example of American ingenuity defeating the tax collector: Dunkin Donuts’ customers would order seven doughnuts. Tax-free. These are a few examples of the complexity that would
result from “tax simplification.” Not mentioned is the impact of the proposed federal sales tax on large purchases (such as cars), or the fact that Cain’s proposal makes no mention of any payroll taxes. What will happen to Social Security and Medicare? Additionally, each business owner would be required to be a tax collector for Uncle Sam in the same way that many perform that function for the state and possibly a city. One of Herman Cain’s main selling points is that he has no background in politics. So much the better, but someone should speak to him about the Law of Unintended Consequences.

BG hockey sweeps Alabama-Huntsville for second straight season, out to 3-0-1 start By Ryan Satkowiak Sports Editor
The BG hockey team continued its strong start to the season this past weekend, sweeping a pair of games against Alabama-Huntsville. The Falcons won 2-1 Friday night and followed that up with a 3-0 win Saturday. Junior goaltender Andrew Hammond started both games in net for BG and was outstanding. He stopped 50 of 51 shots on the weekend, picking up his third career shutout in Saturday’s win. Freshman Ryan Carpenter continued his hot start to the season, scoring a goal in each game. He has a team-high six points (three goals, three assists) in four games for the Falcons (3-0-1) this season. After missing the exhibition game with an injury and having a rough first weekend against UConn, Brett Mohler hit his stride during the series, picking up an assist in each game with a couple of slick passes. “It was long overdue,” Mohler said about finally getting his first point. “It was just nice to get back on the scoresheet.” Another freshman, Dan DeSalvo, picked up the game-winner for BG on Friday with a goal early in the third period. He took a pass from Ian Ruel and buried a wrist shot from the left circle. “It was a three-on-two across the blue line and Ruel gave me a quick pass,” DeSalvo said. “At first I was looking to take a shot off the far pad, but sure enough it went in.” Hammond and the Falcons were able to survive a late barrage from
the Chargers, who scored mid-way through the third to tie the game. Hammond stopped 10 of 11 shots in the final frame to help BG hold on for the win. The Falcons got off to a quick start Saturday, as Carpenter found the back of the net just 1:47 into the game. The goal came with BG shorthanded after Ian Ruel took an interference penalty. The Falcons scored in each of the final two frames, with Cam Wojtala scoring on the power play mid-way through the second period, and Andrew Wallace icing the game with a goal late in the third. “We just got off the penalty kill ... and Mike Fink made a nice pass to the middle of the ice, then [Marcus] Perrier stepped up and picked up the puck and made a nice, no-look pass to me that gave me all the room in the world,” Wallace said. “I saw the goalie sliding and just took the shot.” Hammond was stellar all night for BG, stopping all 21 shots he faced. Through four games, he has a 1.61 goals-against average and a .931 save percent. The Falcons are without a loss through the first four games of the season, as shootout losses count as ties. The last time BG went without a loss through four games was the 1996-97 season, when the Falcons finished 17-16-5 and tied for fifth in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. “It’s huge for us, we’re trying to build confidence and have a young group of guys,” Wallace said. “We’re trying to get better each week ... we TOM NEPOMUCENO | THE BG NEWS didn’t play our best be we got good MIKE SULLIVAN, BG defenseman, passes the puck during BG’ s exhibition game against Ontario Institute of Technology earlier this season. results.”

Falcons struggle to stop run, fall to Toledo By Ryan Satkowiak Sports Editor
It was the ultimate back-and-forth game, but the Falcons could not get momentum in their favor during crunch time.

level throughout the game,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “What this game boiled down to was critical plays in the fourth quarter that [Toledo] made that we did not.” The Falcons were only able to get 343 yards on offense, compared to Toledo’s 456. Of those yards for BG, 123 came on the ground, well below their previous season average of 161. “I thought that they were able to control the interior of the line of scrimmage, especially in the red
zone,” Clawson said. Mistakes, as well as high winds, disrupted the Falcons throughout the game. In the second quarter, the Falcons finally put together a drive, going 11 plays and 74 yards after going three-and-out on their first four offensive possessions. However, after stalling inside the 10-yard line, Stephen Stein missed a

BG dropped two more Mid-American Conference matches at home this weekend to Central and Eastern Michigan University, a continuance of its inconsistent efforts since conference play began four weeks ago. Friday’s match against Central went the distance, with BG coming up short in the fifth set resulting in set scores of 28-26, 24-26, 20-25, 25-23, 12-15. Danielle Tonyan led the Falcons with 15 kills, but middle Emily Kauth was most efficient with 10 on .529 hitting. Kauth also led the team with five blocks. Her counterpart, Kari Galen, was another offensive force for the Falcons against Central, with eight kills on .333 hitting. Libero Ashley Dunn posted a match-high 17 digs, and setter Erica Fullenkamp earned a double-double on 14 assists and 11 digs. Neither team hit particularly well in the first set, with BG posting a .194 to Central Michigan’s .135. The Falcons posted one more kill, serving ace and block than the Chippewas, enabling them to take the set, which was capped with kill from Kauth. After Central took the second and third sets, the fourth became a winor-go-home situation for BG. Despite being outhit by the Chippewas and posting fewer kills and blocks, the Falcons took the set. The largest lead in the fourth set

was just three points when BG led at 7-4 and 9-6, and the teams were tied on six occasions. Back-to-back errors from Central — a Kelsey Detweiler service error and a Val Deweer attacking error — allowed BG to take the set; coming after a Paige Penrod attacking error tied the score at 23. Kauth posted four kills on just five swings in the fourth set. The Falcons could not keep up with a .500 hitting effort from Central in the fifth. Both teams went out swinging, as after the score was tied at 9-9, the next eight of nine points were decided by kills – two from Penrod. But Kaitlyn McIntyre would close out the match for the Chippewas with three kills in the last four points. The outside hitter had a set-high four in the fifth set and hit .571. Saturday’s homecoming match against Eastern was a bloodletting, with BG going down 25-22, 25-18, 25-16. Despite the team’s shortcomings in the match the student section was in it throughout.

BG tennis team has strong showing in Rocket Invitational By Vince Meloni Reporter
The Falcons women’s tennis team continued their fall season success this weekend by going 22-5 in their matches, with only one doubles loss and no player losing twice in singles competition. “The girls have a lot of inner-motivation and they want to play and improve in practice and in tournaments and work on the things they can struggle on,” said coach Penny Dean. “And that motivation is turning into great play and wins.” The Falcons unofficially won the tournament by taking home three singles and
two doubles titles on the weekend. Emily Reuland won the third flight singles, while co-captains Maddy Eccleston and Jessica Easdale won the fourth flight for the Falcons. Katie Grubb won her two matches on sixth flight, while Easdale won the other match to win the final singles flight for the Falcons. In this tournament, Dean was allowed to move players up and down singles flights and change up doubles partners. Reuland and Grubb won all three of their matches in doubles, two on third flight and one on second flight. Nikki Chiricosta and Mary Hill won the other two
Emily Reuland Won the third flight singles match for BG matches in second flight, and Hill and Easdale teamed up for the other third flight victory. The Falcons won both of these flights.

Women’s golf concludes fall schedule with tournament in Akron By Ethan Easterwood Reporter
The women’s golf team will be heading to Fairlawn, Ohio to compete in the Zippy Classic Monday. The Falcons come off a midtable finish at The Preview last week against many MidAmerican Conference opponents, including this week’s host, Akron. Ohio University will join the Falcon’s and Zip’s as the only other MAC team competing at the Zippy Invitational.
LOSS From Page 6 24-yard field goal. That missed kick significantly changes the Falcons’ decision making the rest of the game. With seconds to go in the first half, instead of trying for a field goal, BG opted to throw a Hail Mary pass to the end zone, which was caught by Kamar Jorden for a 27-yard touchdown, the only score of the first half. Then, early in the third quarter, with the Falcons facing a fourth down and 10 on Toledo’s 25-yard line, BG once again opted to try to convert instead of attempting a field goal. This time, Matt Schilz was sacked for a short loss. “At the end of the first half, [the decision] was based all on weather,” Clawson said. “At that point we had the breeze going against us, and that would have been a very long field goal and I did not feel good about our ability to hit it.” That defensive stop by the Rockets provided momentum for their offense, which was moving the ball against

BG in the first half, but unable to get any points. Toledo scored 14 unanswered point in the third quarter, thanks to strong, downhill running from backs Morgan Williams and David Fluellen, who each scored a touchdown, to take a 14-7 lead. BG answered early in the fourth, with Jordan Hopgood taking a direct snap and scoring on a one-yard touchdown run to tie the game. At that point, Toledo’s run game once again took over. Williams ran for two more scores, one with just under 11 minutes to go in the fourth, and another with 1:34 to go in the fourth, a drive which was preceded by BG failing to convert a crucial fourth down deep in Toledo territory, to seal the game. After Williams’ third score made it 28-14, Jerry “BooBoo” Gates made things interesting by running the ensuing kickoff back 88 yards for a touchdown. “I was just trying to give us life,” Gates said. “The kickoff return team blocked good and I just had to execute and finish the play.”
Last year the Falcons finished ninth in this event, with Bailey Arnold, Amy Ruthenberg and Paula DiFrancesco finishing in 50th, 55th and 55th, respectively. This match will mark the final match of the fall season. The Falcons won’t be in action again until March when they will be traveling to Hilton Head Island, S. C. This Spring will showcase the Falcons’ home tournament, the Dolores Black Falcon Invitational in April.
BG would fail to recover the onside kick without having much attempt at it, as Kyle Burkhardt’s kick sailed out of bounds. While the Falcons’ offense and defense each had moments of strong play, they could never get both teams playing well at the same time for more than short spurts. The Falcons failed to pick up a first down their first four drives of the game, allowing Toledo to hold a 2-to-1 time of possession edge in the first quarter. Conversely, BG dominated the second quarter, picking up 10 first downs, to Toledo’s one, which allowed the Falcons to have a 2-to-1 possession edge in the second quarter. However, BG’s inability to get touchdowns in the red zone ultimately cost them in the game. “We had too many opportunities that we didn’t capitalize on,” Schilz said. “That’s what cost us this game.” Now losers of three games straight, BG will face a red-hot Temple team next week, fresh off a 34-0 win over Buffalo.

to, as outside is slower and the indoor courts we practice in also play slow,” Dean said. “But we stepped up, adjusted our game and played well.” Through the three fall tournaments, Jade Johnson has eclipsed last year’s fall win total, Grubb has stayed undefeated and Chiricosta, Eccleston and Reuland only have one loss. The team has one more tournament in the fall, but before that Chiricosta, Eccleston, Hill and Reuland will go to Columbus this upcoming weekend to play in the ITA Midwest Regional, the first step in qualifying for nationals.

Notes: strong attendance for Battle of I-75 By Ryan Satkowiak Sports Editor
Moving the Battle of I-75 up six weeks to the middle of October proved to be a good decision for BG. The announced attendance of 22,406 was the first time since September 2009 against Boise that the Falcons had more than 22,000 fans Doyt Perry Stadium. It was also the highest attended BG home game since 2008, when Minnesota of the Big Ten defeated BG 42-17. “I just want to thank all of our fans and students for packing the bleachers today,” head coach Dave Clawson said following the game. “It was a great atmosphere for college football today.” While there were a large number of Toledo fans in attendance, the entire west side grandstand was full, including the student section, which remained full throughout the course of the game.

Samuel went over 100 yards rushing for the fourth time in six games he has played this season on Saturday, finishing the game with 105 yards on 25 carries. “Right now he’s our starting tailback,” Clawson said. “He’s a very good player, and I think he’s only going to get better.” Samuel’s emergence help keep defenses honest so they cannot solely focus on stopping BG’s pass game. “Anthon’s just a very fast guy and he runs hard,” quarterback Matt Schilz said. “He has great vision and the [offensive] line is doing a great job sticking their guys, and Anthon is finding those holes.” His increased role on the offense has also resulted in diminished playing time of Jordan Hopgood, who started the season as BG’s starter.

a serving ace. Dunn had a match-high 16 digs two serving aces, and Tonyan posted 12 kills on .476 hitting. “I just knew someone had to put the ball away,” Tonyan said. “I didn’t go up scared. The game plan was to put the ball in the right-back; that’s what I did and I scored.” With Miami also losing its two matches this weekend the Falcons are still tied for second in the MAC East with the Miami RedHawks.

The Falcons have now lost their last three games, and need to get it together with matches against divisional leaders Ohio University and Ball State coming up at the end of the month. “We need to win the next two matches (against Oakland and Toledo),” Dunn said. “Those wins are going to be really important so that we’re confident and ready for the two against Ohio and Ball State.”

Early in the fourth quarter with the game tied at 14, Schilz was picked off by Toledo’s Taikwon Page, which set up a quick Rockets’ score. “I was kind of hit during the throw, but it was a bad read on my part too,” Schilz said.
