Lynch and Gates will face disciplinary action from the team. The incident involving the three players is still being investigated. McKnight was cited for an underage

Both Gates and Lynch played in the Falcons’ 28-27 loss to Wyoming Saturday afternoon. “We had a discipline issue, and the one guy suspended before [McKnight] had a fairly serious issue in our program before,” said football coach Dave Clawson following the game. “He was certainly made aware that if any other issue [happened] he would be suspended. “With the other two guys, we’ve had no issues with them in our program and based on the nature of what they did, there will be team discipline,” Clawson said. “We will handle it, and I think that’s been pretty consistent with how we’ve handled other issues.”

Independent TED event draws 600
Presentations spark conversation among attendees By Danae King Assistant Pulse Editor
TEDxBGSU fulfilled TED’s call for innovation as it was the first event of its kind to be hosted at a university in Ohio. TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, began as a way to bring people together from the three different areas, according to the organization’s website, www.ted.com. The “x” in TEDx stands for an independently organized TED event, which means the event was only associated with TED in its name and format. Friday morning, approximately 600 people gathered in Kobacker Hall for the University’s own TEDx event. There were 18 presentations discussing several topics. “We’ve been really excited with all
our speakers and that’s obviously the primary focus of the whole event,” said Curator Skyler Rogers. “To see the passion they have for what they’re talking about … it’s a really diverse range and each of them hit it right on the nail so I’ve been really impressed.” The event offered the opportunity for attendees and presenters to form a connection and have conversations as well as share ideas. TED is devoted to ideas worth spreading, and TEDxBGSU helped to further that mission, said Lizzie Keller, dining and assisting ability coordinator of the event. “I want audience members to be inspired to go forward with their own ideas,” Keller said. “It’s all about ideas worth spreading and ideas worth putting your time and your passio

University students, faculty analyze pros and cons of social networking tools By Tasneem Almuhanna Reporter
Social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter don’t only generate a new way of keeping up with family and friends, they also have a range of benefits and downfalls from getting one out of jail to getting lost into the virtual world. Dr. Matt Donahue, instructor at the Department of Popular Culture, believes that such sites have both pros and cons. Donahue thinks that sites such as Facebook allow people to stay in touch and bring them together, while Twitter is also useful in allowing immediate communication.

While social networking sites may indeed return one’s freedom, Elizabeth Woronzoff-Dashkoff, a graduate teaching assistant at the Department of American Culture Studies, proves that social networking sites can also contribute to one’s education. “Later this semester, I am missing a class and the professor is letting me Skype in,” Dashkoff said.

“I think, like everything else, moderation is the key to living one’s life,” Donahue said. “It is important to be able to navigate your way through life using the tools that are out there for you, meaning new technologies, which allow for social networking, but at the end of the day it is also nice to hang out with people and friends one on one to continue a personal connection.” Twitter managed to free one person from jail according to Businessweek.com.

The University was reminded of the Constitution this weekend during the 224th anniversary of the Constitution’s signing. Saturday marked the anniversary. On Friday an event to commemorate it took place at the Falcon’s Nest in the Union. The Constitution Day event was sponsored by the Office of Campus Activities and the Office of the General Counsel. It featured faculty and students collaborating to read the U.S. Constitution. University President Mary Ellen Mazey delivered the opening remarks and read the Constitution’s Preamble. “I think it’s really great that we’re reading it,” Mazey said. “We need to renew our belief in our own Constitution.” Constitution Day became a legal holiday in 2004 because of an amendment to a bill by Senator Robert C. Byrd. Along with sanc-

Byrd wrote into the amendment that all primary and post-secondary learning institutions that receive federal funds must talk about the Constitution on Constitution Day. “If you want to receive federal funds … you have to have Constitution Day, a day to celebrate our nation’s history is really what it is.” Some students wondered why the University had the event Friday, since Constitution Day was Saturday. Event organizer and graduate student Jacob Raderer said they did it to get as many people involved with the event as possible. “We’re trying something new and different this year, a little more in-

LGBT Resource Center offers support By Bri Haller Reporter
LGBT student populations and to provide a safe space for those students,” Spears said. Jessica Waterfield, an undergraduate intern at the resource center, said it is effective in offering students a place to retreat. “Students know that they are welcome to the resource center to express concerns, ideas, good news or bad.” Waterfield said, “They are accepted and treated respectfully.” The center also provides programs for students. These include Vision, Safe Zone and Intersections. Students seeking support but want to remain anonymous can attend the weekly program called Intersections. “Intersections is an identity and sexuality support group,”
The newly appointed assistant director of the LGBT Resource Center said he strives to create a safe atmosphere for students to retreat during the day. The center, which is part of the Office of Multicultural Affairs, is geared toward helping University students who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. According to the center’s website, its purpose is to provide service to the entire community through education, support and programming. Tobias Spears, the new assistant director, is enthusiastic about helping LGBT students on campus. “We hope to use this space to increase visibility among
Spears said. “The [meetings] are a really good place for people who are exploring various parts of their sexuality to come and really talk because there is a psychologist there from the counseling center.” Intersections is meant to provide a safe atmosphere for students to talk or observe without fear of having to identify themselves as LGBT, Spears said. Aside from the Universityrun programs, several student-run initiatives have become popular through the resource center. Big Gay Ride is a program that aims to provide students with a safe passage from the downtown area back to campus. “A student was making sure that students leav-
ing the downtown area who were LGBT were taken care of in terms of getting a ride or an escort back to campus,” Spears said. Another popular program in the resource center is Vision. The weekly program became the first openly LGBT club at the University back in 1995, according to the program’s website. “We had around 80, maybe even more, people who came to the first Vision meeting,” Spears said. “That’s one thing I was really happy about is how much student interest these programs and initiatives have.” Students who haven’t participated in any programs at the center are welcome to join as well as participate in upcoming events.
One upcoming event, “Coming Out Week,” will take place Oct. 17. “One of the things we have planned for that week is a suicide walk, which we will probably donate the funds from the walk to a cause around LGBT suicide.” All students are welcome to utilize the center. Some of the resources offered include books, movies, online sources and websites. “The Resource Center is a great service to the students no matter their identification,” Waterfield said. “Whether you are looking for research materials for class, want to find more information on different LGBTQA [lesbian gay bisexual transgender queer and asexual] events and organizations on campus or simply want a
safe space to relax, the center is ideal.” If students just need someone to talk to, Spears works to make himself available. “There is always office hours for [LGBT students] to come in and talk to me individually and privately,” Spears said. “I recognize that students don’t always want this level of visibility in terms of their sexuality.” Whether you are LGBT or interested in issues surrounding LGBT culture, the resource center is open to everyone, Spears said. “I want to keep central this idea that we are all a community, whether you’re in any of [these] organizations, the LGBT Resource Center has a place for you.” Spears said.

Union, and plopped down at one of the smaller tables. As I began to unwrap my sub and uncap my chocolate milk, I felt this sense of calm. I slowly ate my meal without feeling obligated to talk to the person usually seated across from me. I could rinse away the stresses of my day and not have to hear about the latest gossip, worrying that my companion would undoubtedly share. On top of the most relaxing dinner I had experienced in years, not one person glanced my way with a pitiful glance that surely said, “sorry you don’t have any friends. Shame.” I think some of them even regarded me with envy. That’s step one. Be okay with being out in public alone. You might as well get to know yourself. You two are going to be together for a long time. Step two is remembering how to function without someone else sitting beside
you. I often found myself incapable of doing homework without my roommate, or another friend within a poking distance away to ask a question if the need should arise. To shake away this overwhelming feeling of dependency, I took my work to the library and enjoyed three hours of solitary studying. I could confidently get my work done without the distracting and sometimes cumbersome inclusion of friends. People are great. Friends are even better. But I suggest taking at least an hour a day to yourself. Recharge those collegiate-draining batteries, knock some sense back into yourself if you need to, and reflect on the day before you head back into it. I’m all alone again. Jealous?

Straight, white, Celebrate freedom American males are of speech, utilize public forums under-represented PHIL PH SCHURRER SCHU FACULTY FACU COLUMNIST COLUM
It’s truly amazing to review the list of the University’s student organizations. Nearly every conceivable viewpoint, activity and perspective is represented. If diversity is what was sought, it seems alive and well on this campus. However, there’s one group not represented, one part of the student body that has no voice specifically tailored to its needs and wants. I’m referring to Straight, White American Males (SWAMs). According to collegedata. com, there are approximately 1,000 more female undergraduates than males at the University. After considering the remaining constraints of being straight, white and American, it’s easy to see that SWAM’s are a definite minority. It’s only fair that SWAMs
have a seat at the table and partake in the benefits offered to other university groups. To do this, it’s important that SWAMs market both themselves and their cause. First, the SWAM group has to learn the vocabulary. Because words are important, it’s critical that the right words and phrases be employed to advance the SWAM agenda. SWAMs should be grateful to other groups who have pioneered this lexicon and should learn from them. Perhaps the three most important words are “outrage,” “marginalized” and “oppressed.” To be sure, these words have been used so often, they have lost nearly all their impact. Nonetheless, it’s important they be used correctly. “Outrage” should be employed to express any feeling that exceeds mild irritation. The “outraged”

The First Amendment may not protect someone from displaying a banner saying “bong hits 4 Jesus,” but it can protect someone from expressing their opinion in a public forum, like The BG News. In 2002, Joseph Frederick was suspended for flying a banner that read “bong hits 4 Jesus” as a person carrying the Olympic torch ran past the school. Although Frederick’s “promotion of illegal drug use” was not covered by the First Amendment, had he written about his opinion in a local newspaper, it would have been. The BG News is an example of such a public forum and the University‘s observation of Constitution Day on Friday is a testement to the the five First Amendment rights students should take advantage
of at the University. In particular, the First Amendment enables us to help produce a paper three times a week and run a website informing students about what’s going on in the world around them and the important and intriguing opinions of others. Although this column is part of a class project, that doesn’t lower the importance or our appreciation for the rights protected by the First Amendment. We were asked to survey people to see if they knew any of the five rights, with the end result being to inform people about the rights (freedom of speech, religion, to petition, assemble peacefully and of course, the press). As editors at The BG News, we are always looking for relevant content to cover and with our class project in mind, Constitution Day became the perfect opportunity to do so. But we aren’t priviledged

I’m all alone. It’s almost midnight and I’m sitting in my dorm room with the lights off. The multiple fans’ oscillations are my only source of sound. My books are closed, laptop’s deep in hibernation, cell phone is off and out of sight. Finally. This delight of being totally unaccompanied did not come without some serious introspection. The week before my dark dorm room seclusion, I realized that I, like just almost everyone else at the University, am constantly interacting. Whether it be friends, teachers, school work, browsing the Internet or picking up right where I left off in a great book, there is always something or someone occupying my time.
If I go to lunch, I invite someone to tag along. If I’m doing homework, it’s usually in the company of at least one other person. My friends and I even coordinate our shower times to ensure we have friendly voice to converse with the next stall over mid-shampoo. Until now, these habits never once struck me as odd. Isn’t “the more, the merrier” and “two heads are better than one” popular idioms instilled in us from basically day one? Yes, but parents and pre-school teachers should qualify these claims with a “not always” clause. As unusual it may seem, it’s perfectly acceptable to be alone sometimes. Actually, it can be beneficial for you in more ways than one. First, after this realizing that I literally spent no quality time with me, myself and I, I decided to conquer my fear of solo dining.

person doesn’t need to become so agitated that physical restraint is necessary; a good case of pique will suffice. SWAMs should use “marginalized” to describe a feeling of being set apart, of not being part of the mainstream. It really doesn’t matter if they truly are or not; perception is all that really counts these days. “Oppressed” is a somewhat loaded word and should be used in a historical context. When recounting how SWAMs were marginalized in the past and a feeling of outrage was generated, the judicious use of “oppressed” will complete the verbal image. (As can be seen, if all three words are used in one sentence, so much the better.) Once recognized by the University as a legitimate student organization, the SWAM group should set about looking for a headquarters. This central physical place is of critical importance; it conveys an aura of legitimacy. The BGSU Women’s Center occupies a partial floor in Hannah Hall. SWAMs won’t need nearly that much space. A large room with a fridge, microwave, several couches and chairs, a few TV’s permanently tuned to the sports channels, a few video games and the usual assortment of magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Men’s Health, Hustler, etc., should do very
nicely. No point in becoming extravagant. Right? Hopefully, by this time, the reader will hopefully catch on to the fact that the proceeding has been written as over-the-top satire and there is no effort to establish a SWAM group at BGSU. But with all student groups, there is a danger that each could become so involved in their own agenda, they would fail to step back from time to time and contemplate how they can contribute to the common good. It’s easy to become “Balkanized” and fragmented. It seems that it takes a 9-11 commemoration to remind us that really it doesn’t matter if we’re male or female, homo- or heterosexual, white, black or some other color of skin, whether we pray to one God, many gods or no god, or whether our ancestors came over on the Mayflower, a slave ship or an airplane. We all have a common stake in ourselves, our school, our state and our nation. And others have a stake in our success. At the bottom, we’re people gifted with intelligence, free will and special talents, which we must hone and sharpen so that they can be applied to produce benefits for all. Tall order, that.

SOCIAL From Page 1 “Technology can definitely develop and change the learning experience in a positive way. However, there is a downfall too. We all know how distracting these sites can be and playing things like Farmville become an all day activity.” According to CNNHealth. com, a survey was conducted among 500 people, ranging between 18-25 years. The results confirmed that 46 percent have spent three or more hours browsing through peoples profile pages on such social networking sites. By browsing such pages those individuals become disconnected from reality.

“They feel like they are getting to know someone without actually knowing them,” CNNHealth.com reported. “The friends on one’s friends list may not even be a friend. Many do not even see or talk to them after adding them. People try to gather the most friends on their list to look popular. The more hours spent leads to an increase social isolation.” Ashley Davis, a junior, believes that social networking sites have more downfalls. Davis thinks that if one reveals just the right amount of information about their self, someone else may masquerade under their identity and may destroy their credit rating or even access their email or financial information. “Another danger is that
chance to win a Bookstore gift card or gift bag. One such student who answered all three of his questions correctly was freshman Mitchell Peedles. Peedles is studying to be a history teacher. “I’m a nerd,” Peedles said. “I study it a lot. I’m trying to memorize the Amendments, in order, right now actually.” Another successful student contestant, junior Adam Schmidt, said he was happy to see an event like this at the University. “It’s good to see,” Schmidt said. “I wish more people were paying attention, because it’s important information that if you will listen to, you could see just how good America is.” Raderer said Constitution Day is also a day to remember our roots as a nation.
“It’s important to keep in mind where we come from, and for the United States of America [the Constitution] is the foundational document that kind of sets everything out for us,” Raderer said. Mazey agreed with him. “It’s really quite remarkable to think that our forefathers created [the Constitution] and here it is 200 and some years later and we’re still making it work … I believe in it, and if you believe in fairness, and equity, and nondiscrimination, then the Constitution is at the heart of it all,” Mazey said.
FUN FACT: “Established on November 26, 1789, the first national “Thanksgiving Day” was originally created by George Washington as a way of ‘giving thanks’ for the Constitution.”
“Another danger is that scammers use social networking sites to trick people into downloading malicious software.” Ashley Davis | Junior scammers use social networking sites to trick people into downloading malicious software,” Davis said. “For example, you might receive a link from a friend claiming that it leads you to a funny video that you appear in. Following the link brings up a message saying you need to install a video player that is actually a virus or Trojan horse program that can harm your computer. Once your computer is infected, the scammer will use your friends list to try and spread the malware even further.” David Dunn, a senior, also
thinks that such social networking sites may promote one’s career and get them that job they longed for, if done correctly. Dunn agrees that if one uses their online profile to back up claims printed on their resume, such as sharing photos or links as proof, it can help land them a new job. “By the same token, pages containing risqué photos and provocative comments about drinking or hookups can make applicants look immature and lacking in professional judgment, and allow employers to pass on that applicant,” Dunn said.

MATT SCHILZ, redshirt sophomore quarterback, stands alongside his teammates as the band plays the BGSU Alma Mater. Schilz was 34-for-55 passing for 437 yards and four touchdowns in the Falcons’ 28-27 loss to the Wyoming Cowboys.
Falcons spurred in final seconds Six turnovers, two blocked kicks doom Falcons in last-second 28-27 loss to Wyoming By Ryan Satkowiak Sports Editor
Turning the ball over six times is a sure-fire way to lose a football game. Allowing two costly blocked kicks is another. Unfortunately for the Falcons, they allowed both of those to happen in a 28-27 loss to Wyoming Saturday afternoon. One of those blocked kicks was on an extra point with two seconds left in the fourth quarter. “We gave them 35 points on turnovers … we turned it over twice in the red zone, the fumble that they picked up and scored and then two more turnovers that led the them scoring,” head coach Dave Clawson said. “We really had no business being in the game, but we got some stops and drove down the field, and to not
even be able to hit an extra point to put the game into overtime is embarrassing.” Quarterback Matt Schilz was responsible for four of those turnovers. He threw two interceptions, was credited with a fumble on a muffed handoff exchange with running back Jordan Hopgood and had the ball taken out of his hand on a pass attempt in the fourth quarter. “As an offense as a whole we made too many mistakes, and I definitely did not play my greatest game at all,” said quarterback Matt Schilz. “We didn’t come out ready to play.” Despite the turnovers, Schilz had a strong game statistically, throwing for a career-high 437 yards and four touchdowns. It was the first time in his career he had ever thrown for more than 300 yards in a game.
“As an offense as a whole we made too many mistakes, and I definitely did not play my greatest game at all. We didn’t come out ready to play.” Matt Schilz | BG Quarterback However, Clawson stressed after the game that the team turned the ball over too many times to have won the game. “Any time you have a turnover it’s a lack of ball security,” Clawson said. “Occasionally a guy makes a great play, but to have the ball on the 1-yard line and fumble on an exchange, that’s just elementary football. “To not have the ball high and tight coming out and have them pick it up and score, that’s just bad football … it was us just fundamentally not being good.” After falling down by two touch-
downs early in the fourth quarter, the Falcons then began a furious rally to get back into the game, with Jorden scoring his second touchdown of the game with 4:16 to go to pull within seven. The Falcons opted to kick the ball off, instead of going for the onside kick, following the touchdown. That plan appeared to work when they forced a fourth down, but defensive end Kevin Moore jumped offside on the fourth down play to allow Wyoming to get a first down. The Falcons got another stop, but had to burn all three timeouts.
They started the final drive at their own 11, moving 89 yards in 10 plays and 1:15, with Ray Hutson catching a 10-yard pass to bring the Falcons within one point with two second left on the clock. However, the failed extra point would leave the score at that. Early in the game, it appeared that the Falcons were going to come out and move the ball all day. The Falcons received the opening kickoff, and were in the end zone just 2:33 later after a 40-yard touchdown pass from Schilz to Alex Bayer. The Falcons then turned the ball over in the red zone for the first time, and all momentum ceased. Wyoming tied the game early in the second quarter, getting the ball at the Falcons’ 38-yard line after an

BG volleyball out to best start in team history at 12-0 By Nick Marlow Reporter
BYRON MACK | THE BG NEWS
PAIGE PENROD, right side hitter, returns the ball in a match played earlier this season.
BG rolled the competition at the Bucknell Invitational this weekend in Lewisburg, Penn., winning the invitational without losing a set while setting records along the way. The 12-0 start is the best in program history, eclipsing that of a 1990 team that went 10-0 before losing to the Michigan State Spartans, who the Falcons defeated last weekend. The tournament win is also the first time the volleyball team has won all of its pre-conference invites. “I’m really proud of the team,” said coach Van De Walle. “We’re playing hard day in and day out. We’re showing a lot of character during matches when we get pushed hard…we’re answering back in a steady confident manner which is good to see. “We’re deep. Our bench comes in
and does a great job when we make changes. That’s a wonderful thing to have; total team effort every day.” Middle Kari Galen and setter Lauren Avila were both named to the all-tournament team. Named MVP of the South Florida Invite two weeks ago, Galen had 26 kills at a .676 clip on the weekend. Avila had 76 assists, 14 digs and a team high nine aces. It was the first all-tournament selection of her career. The Falcons got things rolling quickly against Stony Brook University in their first match, drowning the Seawolves 25-14, 25-15, 25-23. The Daniel Tonyan-Paige Penrod tandem was in motion again, combining for 20 of the team’s 40 kills. A proficient Galen attacked at a .500 clip on four kills, while Avila was putting it on a platter for the front row throughout the match with 23 assists to go with two serving aces.
BG held Stony Brook to a horrendous .033 during the match. The momentum carried over into Saturday with a dominant 25-17, 25-21, 25-14 victory over Coppin State. The Falcons poured it on the opposition, posting 46 kills to the Eagles 25 at a .353 clip. “Some of the swings we took this weekend were incredible,” Van De Walle said. “Every match had some highlight swings from our hitters. We get better each time we take the floor. We are very strong at the net … because we hit the ball so hard, it was tough to keep up with us.” Tonyan, Penrod and Galen combined for 31 kills on .471 hitting, and Avila posted another three aces. “Laura tried out a new serve this weekend and it was very effective,” Van De Walle said. “She ran the

BG rugby downs Central Michigan, out to 6-0 start By Max Householder Reporter
The Falcon rugby team moved to 6-0 on the season with a 57-6 win over the Central Michigan Chippewas on Saturday, their 31st consecutive victory over the Chippewas. Most of the scoring for the Falcons was done by eight man Mike Zeigler and fly half Max Narewski. Narewski finished with a BG record-tying five tries in a game, while Zeigler tacked on three tries. Lock Bryan Kean added a try and team president Ben Marshall connected on six conversion kicks. The game was tight early on because of a strong showing by the Chippewas defense, but the fact that their only points came off two penalty kicks hindered their efforts. Other than those
kicks, Central Michigan never could get going on offense. Central Michigan was bigger than the Falcons expected. In fact, Kyle Sisler, their scrum half which is a position normally occupied by someone of small stature, was 6-foot-4, 210 pounds. But the Falcons were able to match their physicality, which in turn frustrated the Central offense. This game was fueled by a lot of great individual performances by guys like Narewski and Zeigler. However, if the Falcons want to get back to the top, they need to have more of a team effort. “A lot of our scores were more great individual plays and not necessarily team oriented,” coach Tony Mazzarella said. “To improve the leaders of our team have to step up and encourage the others to play more like
a team.” It wasn’t just Mazzarella, but even the players could sense that this was not a great “team” effort. There was also a question of whether or not the team went hard for the full 80 minutes. “I thought individually we did good but as a team there are still a lot of things that we have to improve upon,” Hooker Mike Brown said. “We must improve our defense and correcting stupid penalties. If that was a tougher opponent those six points would have been crucial and may have cost us the game.” Even though the Falcons were not as impressive as they would have liked to be in their 57-6 victory, there were many positives to take from the game as well. One is that they were playing without perhaps three of their best players in center Dominic
Mauer, Nick Mussara and leading scorer from last year’s team Sam Polzin. All hope to return when the team travels to Purdue next weekend, which should give them more speed on the edge. Also helping the Falcons is that the team has some new plays that look to be effective if executed correctly, according to Junior Ed Luther. But for these plays to succeed, Luther says that the team must work hard to be consistent. “We have some great play ideas to adjust to some of the new players we have, but we have yet to execute them on a consistent basis,” he said. “But with time and effort we should be able to incorporate them successfully.” BG will travel to Purdue next weekend to take on a Boilermaker team that’s coming off a huge upset of Ohio State this past Saturday.
FOOTBALL From Page 6 interception, but a second Schilz touchdown pass — to Kamar Jorden — ensured the Falcons would go into halftime with a lead.

of the game, with Ghaali Muhammad capping a nine play, 91 yard drive with a 6-yard run on the first drive of the third quarter. Wyoming took the lead for the first time in the game just under five minutes after that score, with Marqueston Huff picking up an Anthon Samuel fumble and returning it eight yards for a score. They extended their lead to 14 early in the fourth on a Brett Smith touchdown pass, a drive that started at the BG 22-yard line following a Matt Schilz fumble.
Dwayne Woods, who had 12 tackles in the game, talked after the game about the defense being put in a “backs against the wall” type of scenario multiple times in the game. “I think for as young as we are, we responded to adversity real well,” he said. “[We stress] to get off the field, to get the ball back and get off the field. That’s probably the hardest part of the game, when things don’t go well for the offense and they give you a short field.”

Falcons pick up loss, tie in final pre-conference tournament By Cameron Teague Robinson Reporter
This weekend, the BG men’s soccer team went to Nashville Tennessee for the Hyatt Place Brentwood Invitational, where they lost to Belmont and tied Lipscomb. In their matchup against Belmont the Falcons lost 3-2. After their loss, the Falcons dropped to 4-2-0, as the Bruins improved their record to 3-3-0 on the year.
“This was a tough loss,” coach Eric Nichols said. “I can’t fault our effort today. We competed well.” The Falcons had plenty of chances to put the ball in the back of the net with eight shots on goal, while the Bruins only had five and converted on three of their shots. “We created enough chances to score and we had significant advantages in shots and corners,” Nichols said. “Belmont just took
their chances very well, they may not have had money but they finished them.” Colin Armstrong and Brandon Silva were the two goal scorers for BG. Armstrong scored off a corner from Danny Baraldi about 10 minutes before halftime. Brandon Silva received a penalty kick with about 12 minutes left in the game and converted on

slip-ups in practice and they were not prepared for the game today.” Zuccaro, who only played 60 of the 90-minute match, said, “It is time to get back to training and give 100 percent effort everyday. We need to come back with more effort and more commitment.” Even though it was a devastating loss, the contest against the Crusaders was special to freshman Kaylee Draper. Hailing from Perrysburg, her twin sister, Kelsey, was competing against her as a member of Valparaiso. “It was great to see her and compete with her,” Draper said. “This was the first time we’ve played against each other on different teams.” The loss against Valparaiso marks the last non-conference match during the regular season, and the Falcons start Mid-American Conference games on Friday at Buffalo. “There is a sense of excitement going into MAC play because now each game counts to postseason possibilities,” Richards said. “We are playing in the football stadium and on turf, it will be an exciting match.” “We must come out with
intensity and the will to compete.” Zuccaro said. The Bulls from the University of Buffalo finished 1-16-2 last year, but have started the 2011 season with an impressive 7-1 record, only losing to St. Bonaventure. They beat IFPW 1-0, same as the Falcons, and defeated Niagara 2-0, a team that defeated BG in overtime. “We have the ability to fight and compete,” Richards said. “We cannot make the same mistakes that we did in nonconference play because now they will make or break our chances at the post-season.” Zuccaro added that the team has to remain focused on the task at hand, as the upcoming games for the Falcons will mean the most to their season. “There were games we won and games we lost,” Zuccaro said. “But we need to have good work ethic, drive, and the will to win to compete in the MAC.” The Falcons’ two games this weekend are both away. They will be in Buffalo, N.Y. to play Buffalo on Friday and in Kent, Ohio on Sunday to take on the Golden Flashes. The next BG home game will be on Friday, Sept. 30 against rival Toledo.
that. “Colin gave us a great spark off the bench,” Nichols said. “Not only did he score a goal, but he also created a lot of offense and energy for us. “Brandon did a great job in his first game back after suffering a concussion a few games ago. He was solid for us in the middle, and took care of his PK.”
After putting the loss Friday out of their mind, the Falcons were ready for Lipscomb on Sunday afternoon. The Falcons would tie Lipscomb, 1-1, moving the Falcons to 4-2-1 and the Bisons to 1-52. Armstrong once again scored for the Falcons. “We played well but we just conceded goals to easy,” Nichols said. “We just were not as sharp as we should have been this weekend.” Miguels Rosales started as goalkeeper both games this
weekend instead of Michael Wiest. He was charged with both the loss and tie. “There really was no reason to starting Miguel this weekend,” Nichols said. “We just thought he was the best to start this weekend.” The Falcons will go back to their normal schedule now as all of their in season tournaments are now finished. They will take the field next against Detroit on Wednesday at 4 p.m. in Detroit, Mich.

The Falcons came together to win on Friday against the IFPW Mastodons (1-0) but then fell short to the Valparaiso Crusaders (4-0) on Sunday, defeats described as “embarrassing” by Coach Andy Richards. “We didn’t play well on Friday,” Richards said. “We had a poor practice on Saturday and the team showed that they were happy with how they were playing.” The Falcons were on a two game winning streak as they came into Sunday’s game. “We all need to come out with more passion,” captain Alyssa Zuccaro said. “And we really need to work on our work ethic.” BG won one to nil on Friday against IFPW, with an empty net goal by sophomore Tracy Togba and three crucial saves by redshirt-junior Becca Ison. However, the Crusaders of Valparaiso came into Bowling Green and dominated, scoring three goals in the first half and an additional goal in the second half. “I really don’t know where to go from here,” Richards said. “We warn them about

NETTERS From Page 6 offense well and got the ball to the hot hitters very effectively. She also tipped the ball more than she usually does and scored every time.” The record-setting weekend was capped off with a 25-12, 28-26, 25-20 sweep over the tournament host
Bucknell. With a .380 clip, the Falcons outhit them by over .200. Galen went ham posting 14 kills on a ridiculous .824 clip. Avila would add two more aces to go along with her 25 assists and three kills. “Kari was steady all weekend long but really lit it up in the last match,” Van De Walle said. “Other than the Michigan State match I haven’t seen that
kind of fire in here. Kari is generally a quiet player, but against Bucknell she was on a mission. Everything she hit was a kill.” The Falcons 12-game winning streak is good for third best in BG history. The ’04 team holds the record, going 17-0 before losing to Ohio University. Ironically, BG opens Mid-American Conference play this Friday against the Bobcats.
