Passing defense 117th in nation

Cardinals’ inexperienced secondary has allowed 338 yards per game

|

EVAN SIDERY FOOTBALL REPORTER @esidery

In the midst of a 1-1 start to the season, one glaring issue has stood out for the Ball State football team. It hasn’t been able to stop the pass.

The Cardinals sit at 117th in passing yards allowed among 127 qualified Football Bowl Subdivision teams, according to ESPN.com.

They are giving up almost 340 DEFENSIVE STATS yards per game through the air.

POINTS PER GAME ALLOWED- 46 “We have to stick FIRST DOWNS ALLOWED- 47 to the plan,” head PASSING YARDS PER GAME coach Pete Lembo ALLOWED- 338.5 said. “We’ve got a PASSING TDS ALLOWED- 7 relatively inexperienced group, so we need to continue to get those guys’ reps and continue to bring them along every day in practice.”

Not only have the Virginia Military Institute Keydets and Texas A&M Aggies thrown with relative ease against Ball State, but they have done it at an efficient clip. The Cardinals’ defense is allowing a 71.8 percent completion percentage and 12.1 yards per completion.

As Lembo points out, the secondary is currently going through a youth movement after last season’s departures.

Two of Ball State’s more experienced defensive backs did not play in the opener against VMI. Darius Conaway, the team’s top returning corner, stood out against Texas A&M after missing the first game.

“We need to continue to bring that group along and create competition,” Lembo said. “We have a couple young corners in Marc Walton and Armani McNulty that have bright futures ahead of them.”

Some money recovered in fraud case SCHLABACH ADMINISTRATION REPORTER | JACQUI jtschlabach@bsu.edu

Ball State has recollected some – not all – of the $13 million it lost in a 2011 investment fraud.

Jason Bartolacci, instructor of fraud and forensics at Carlow University in Pennsylvania, said Ball State is lucky it received any money at all.

“In a lot of investigations I’ve worked on, generally the money is gone,” Bartolacci said. “They generally do this as a lifestyle requirement, spending money on house, cars and other things.”

The university received a check for $694,763 from the U.S. District Court in August. The money came from a Florida investment adviser, Seth Beoku Betts, who is currently serving his fraud sentence of four years and three months.

During the 2011 and 2014 fiscal years, Ball State used money they had set aside from a contingency fund to write off the total amount lost, said Bernie Hannon, vice president for business affairs and treasurer.

The money from Betts was put in the same contingency fund to partially restore the losses, Hannon said.

Bartolacci said it is easier to get back higher amounts of money, such as with cases like Ball State’s. This is because in investment fraud, there is a lot of middle ground.

Darius Norwood and Chris Cammack, both in their early 20s, said they work from 8 a.m. until 3 a.m. on projects like ChirpFest, yet refuse to call themselves busy. Productive is their word of choice.

“I got three hours of sleep last night,” said Cammack, a business administration major. “I’m not tired, because I love what I’m doing.”

The result of their late nights will be a $5 event on North Dill Street stretching from West University Avenue to West North Street and will feature a raffle and eight musicians. Cammack likened it to IU’s Little 500 and Purdue’s Grand Prix.

Muncie looks to enhance downtown, draw students DWNTWN update to improve cultural, economic growth

|

BRIANA LOMAX GENERAL REPORTER bilomax@bsu.edu

Now that DWNTWN, Muncie’s downtown development campaign, has started to show its progress, city officials are hoping it can start to draw Ball State students off of campus and out into the city.

Cheryl Crowder, events coordinator for Muncie Downtown Development Partnership, said downtown Muncie shouldn’t only be for the year-round residents of the city. She said there are many attractions that college students can take advantage of, even if all can’t participate in the bar scene.

“Traditionally, BSU students discover DWNTWN when they turn 21 and can take advantage of the night life,” Crowder said in an email. “In the meantime, we have some great all-

age events: ArtsWalk, First Thursdays, After Hours Art Reels, Three Trails Music Series, to name a few.”

Lindsey Irelan, a Ball State alumna and Muncie resident, said the city is improving and offers more and more opportunities for students and residents.

She said the downtown area provides students with a chance to try new things off campus.

“I definitely think it’s a place for college students to ... go off campus and try a new restaurant,” Irelan said. “We’re definitely taking a step forward for the better just offering a lot more opportunities for the community.”

Crowder said the downtown improvement campaign was created to show how Muncie has grown and to help the city improve.

DWNTWN’s mission is to “create a downtown environment that results in sustainable economic and cultural growth,” according to their website.

Thirty businesses have opened or relocated to downtown Muncie in the

last two years, according to the Muncie Journal. Residential occupancy has reached 99 percent, and commercial space occupancy is at 88 percent.

Crowder attributes this growth in downtown residents to Muncie’s affordable neighborhoods, the accessibility of shops and the multiple housing options.

Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler said both residents and businesses are attracted by the ease of access available in downtown. He said the connectivity draws many people to live and work downtown.

“People want that connectivity,” Tyler said. “[They want] a nice place with that connectivity that you can get to places easily.”

Muncie has improved its accessibility recently, with the rebuilding of Walnut Street and the improvement of sidewalks to be more handicapped-accessible. The Courtyard Marriott hotel, slated to open later this year, will train and employ people with disabilities.

CHASE AKINS FOOTBALL REPORTER @AKINS27_AKINS

Coming into the season, Jack Milas held sole possession of Ball State’s starting quarterback spot.

After the Cardinals’ 1-1 start this season, there is

competition under center.

True freshman Riley Neal entered the game against Texas A&M on Saturday after Milas’ poor start. Neal threw for 116 yards and ran for 64 more. Heading into week three, head coach Pete Lembo plans on getting both quarterbacks some time.

“We’ll have to see how the week goes,” Lembo said. “We’re likely to play both of them.”

Milas took the reigns last year, and led Ball State to a

3-3 record as a starter.

He started this year on a high note, setting a career-high with 338 passing yards in the team’s opening win against Virginia Military Institute.

Milas finished 1-8 passing against Texas A&M with an interception before being replaced by Neal in the second quarter.

Lembo plans on naming a starter before Ball State takes on Eastern Michigan, as he said the coaching staff does

The Cardinals are coming in as five-point favorites.

Head coach Pete Lembo is impressed with what he saw from the Eagles’ offense and thinks it will be a difficult match, nonetheless.

“I think [Bell] did a great job running their offense last week,” Lembo said.

“He’s mobile, he throws very well on the run, he throws a good deep ball, he can throw the field outs.”

Backups for most skill positions may not have as much raw talent as starters, but they can be even more difficult to game-plan against. The limited number of snaps teams get to see make it difficult to figure out patterns and trends which can be exploited.

One of the key match-ups to watch will be how Eastern Michigan performs in the red zone.

Currently, Eastern Michigan is tied for first in the nation in terms of their red zone offense, recording seven touchdowns and just one field goal in eight attempts.

While the Cardinals have had only one unsuccessful red zone trip, Lembo is wanting to capitalize on opportunities a bit more since they have had to settle for field

goals five times this season.

“I’d like to see us get more touchdowns in the red zone,” Lembo said. “That’s going to be important.”

Eastern Michigan is built similar to how Ball State plays; both have a high scoring offenses but allow more points on defense than they should.

Ball State is currently averaging 464 total yards of offense while Eastern Michigan is averaging 475.

While yards are certainly helpful, they don’t tell the full picture.

Ball State is scoring 35.5 points per game while Eastern Michigan is scoring 41, but the Eagles are also allowing 13 points less than Ball State.

Williams has seen what Eastern Michigan has to offer but still feels confident that Ball State will be able to get a win on the road.

“Obviously, I think we can beat anyone on our schedule,” Williams said. “If we come out and execute and do what we’re supposed to do, I think we’ll come home with a win.”

Another key match-up will be Ball State’s running backs, mainly starter Darian Green, against Eastern Michigan’s

not make game-time decisions. Milas is working to stay on top of the depth chart, but said the team’s focus is on its Mid-American Conference.

“We’re just going to compete every day and we’ve got to beat [Eastern Michigan],” Milas said. “That’s a goal of ours and we need to do it.”

Although most teams roll with one quarterback, a committee system can be beneficial in some cases. Texas A&M, Ball State’s most recent opponent, is currently using

CHASE AKINS FOOTBALL REPORTER @AKINS27_AKINS

Ball State will play its first Mid-American Conference foe this weekend when the team travels to Eastern Michigan.

Eastern Michigan is coming off a dominating 48-29 win over Wyoming, while Ball State is trying to move past its lopsided 56-23 loss against Texas A&M. Senior receiver Jordan Williams thinks the best way to move past a tough loss it to forget it.

“Short term memory and learning from the game, learning what you need to do to become a better player [will help],” Williams said. “If we all do that, I think we’ll be good.”

During the Eagles’ game against Wyoming, starting quarterback Brogan Roback went down with an injury. Back-up Reginald Bell stepped up in a big way throwing 12-18 for 117 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.

two different signal-callers.

Using Milas and Neal could allow the Cardinals’ coaches to take advantage of their strengths.

Milas has the edge over Neal in experience, as he has started eight games in his collegiate career. He has shown he can put up big numbers in the passing game, and he improved his arm strength over the offseason.

Neal’s ability to scramble and pick up yardage is an asset that can add an-

other dimension to the Ball State offense.

On Neal’s first full drive against the Aggies, he ran for 29 yards while setting up the Cardinals’ first touchdown of the night.

Both quarterbacks will continue to take first-team reps as Lembo decides who will take the first snaps against Eastern Michigan. “[Neal] is a good player, too,” Milas said. “I’m going to keep competing and keep going no matter what happens.”

While they are only surrendering 108 yards through the air per game, they are allowing a massive 329 yards on the ground.

This should be a game where Green, as well as other Ball State backs, should step up.

Against a stout Texas A&M defense, Green had 11 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown.

Against Virginia Military Institute, Green had 9 carries for 71 yards and two rushing touchdowns, while also catching two touchdowns.

Green himself is averaging an astounding 8.9 yards per carry this season, demonstrating his breakaway speed. Ball State as a whole is averaging 5.9 yards per carry.

The game time is Saturday, at Rynearson Stadium in Ypsilanti. Ball State has a good chance of coming out with a win after a shootout where both teams combine for more than 90 points.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Injuries have also played a role in the Cardinals’ struggles so far this season.

“We had some guys that were nicked up in the first game,” defensive coordinator Kevin Kelly said. “We just have to do a better job overall.”

One player who has returned from injury is redshirt freshman Lamont McPhatter, who can play both cornerback and safety. McPhatter was battling a hamstring injury during camp which hampered his availability, but he has impressed recently in practice.

The coaching staff has high hopes for all three of the underclassmen mentioned.

Ball State begins conference play this week on the road against Eastern Michigan. The Eagles (1-1) come

in with momentum after beating Wyoming 48-29.

After losing their starting quarterback to a broken jaw, backup Brogan Roback has thrown for 411 yards and three touchdowns in six quarters of play. Kelly has noticed Roback’s play on film and is sure he will test the Cardinals’ secondary.

“He’s doing very well,” Kelly said. “He’s completing about 65 percent of his passes and has only thrown one pick. We’re very impressed by his performance so far.”

Lembo recognizes his team’s struggles on defense and said the key will be getting everyone in sync with one another.

“We’ve got to get them cohesive,” Lembo said.

“We’ve got them playing on the same page with everybody else, and we’ve got to keep generating a passrush up front. The more we do that, the better off we will be.”

Coaches’ sibling rivalry fires up women’s volleyball Team makes up for hole left by senior with freshman play

ZACH CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @ZPC1329

The Ball State women’s volleyball team looks to prove themselves in a coaches’ sibling rivalry as they travel to West Lafayette for the Purdue Boiler Box Challenge this weekend.

Cardinal coach Steve Shondell will match wits with his brother, Dave Shondell, the coach of the Boilermakers.

While the siblings prepare

for the rivalry, the players are equally as fired up.

“We hear them talk volleyball a lot, and we want to really win this for our coach and also maybe show that we got the better brother,” redshirt junior Mackenzie Kitchel said jokingly.

The brothers have faced off once since Steve became the head coach of Ball State, and Dave’s Purdue squad walked away with a 3-1 victory.

Despite the intriguing head-to-head matchup with his brother, Steve is focused on the tournament in general and the valuable experience his team will receive in playing Purdue.

“We are getting to play a top-ranked program, so what the players will learn from this match up is really something that they can take with them for the rest of the season,” Shondell said.

Purdue is 6-2 on the season. The Cardinals (65) will also take on Notre Dame (4-5) and South Dakota (4-6) throughout the course of the weekend.

This is the Cardinals’ last non-conference tournament of the regular season, as their focus will shift on Mid-American Conference play starting on Sept. 24.

“It will be great to see what kind of fire we go out with against such high competition,” Kitchel said.

Ball State is coming off a mid-week victory against in-state rival IPFW at home. The Cardinals won the match without senior Alex Fuelling, who is suffering from an apparent knee injury. Fuelling is the Cardinals’ leading attacker this season, but Shondell is optimistic that she will be back soon.

“She gets her brace to practice very soon, so we will know when she can be back on the court not long after that,” Shondell said.

In Fuelling’s absence, players have stepped up to fill the gaps. Senior Kelly Hopkins has led the team on the offensive end with contributions from

TRANS LIVES MATTER MARCH The Ball State Ethnic Theatre Alliance led a Trans Live Matter march, along with Spectrum and Muncie Outreach. The march’s goal was to peacefully raise awareness for transwomen that have been murdered in the past six months.

The University Police Department escorted about 100 participants down McKinley Avenue.

After the march, some participants shared their stories about being transgender. Participants chanted, “Trans lives matter.”

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY Hoosier derby team invites newcomers to try out at clinic

|

CADYN NICKERSON GENERAL REPORTER cmnickerson@bsu.edu

Experience isn’t required at the upcoming skate clinic for Muncie’s local roller derby team, but a mouth guard definitely is.

Members of the Cornfed Derby Dames will teach potential skaters the basics of roller derby and debunk some myths about the sport on Sunday at the Gibson Skating Arena in Muncie.

Roller derby, known for its all-women groups and rock ‘em sock ‘em nature, is a roller skating sport played on a flat track. Teams gain points when skaters called jammers lap other players. Blockers attempt to stop their opponent’s jammers while helping their own. Pivots are blockers

who can convert to jammers.

The Cornfed Derby Dames placed 128 in the Women’s Flat Track Derby Association last year, but new skaters of all types are still encouraged to attend the clinic and try out. It’s a great way to get your foot in the door, said Sarah Gremer, president of the Derby Dames and primary departmental advisor at Ball State.

“It’ll really be a chance to get to know us and who we are, to learn about the sport and to dip your toes in the water in a safe way,” said Gremer, otherwise known as her roller derby name, Aria Kiddenme. “We’re not going to do anything that makes anyone uncomfortable.”

Brittany Chatwin, a Muncie local who goes by Bruisey Ricardo on the track, encourages new skaters to come out just to try it, especially if they want to skate during the upcoming season, which will be their sixth since forming in 2010.

“We’re going to be teaching basic skills - really basic skills,”

DERBY DAME CLINIC WHAT: Cornfed Derby Dames

New Skater Clinic WHEN: Sunday, Sept. 20; Registration - 2:30 p.m.; 3-6 p.m.

WHERE: Gibson Roller Skating Arena, 2610 S. Mock Ave. REGISTER: CFDDRecruitment@ gmail.com BRING: $5, mouth guard Chatwin said. “We’re not doing any contact; we’re not going to hit anybody, that’s totally crazy.

We’ll be focusing on skating, falling, stopping and what kind of stance to use. I don’t even want to hit anybody.”

Team members don’t even have to skate. They can take on other roles, such as volunteer and official positions. Volunteers might coordinate events or give back to the community through charity work.

Roller derby does not require a specific set of qualities or skills, Gremer and Chatwin said.

“Aside from having every type of body, you have every

CHIRPFEST:

Darius Norwood and Chris Cammack, organizers of ChirpFest, have a budget of $25,000 for the festival. Norwood and Cammack had to get approval from the Muncie Board of Works to take over Dill Street.

ChirpFest is actually a merging of Norwood and Cammack’s individual ideas.

Norwood, a public relations major, had entertained the idea of hosting a music festival at John R. Emens Auditorium since coming to Ball State, and Cammack wanted to host one that bridged the gap between the Muncie community and Ball State’s campus.

They were eating at Brother’s Bar and Grill when the ideas sparked.

“Man, what if we just

type of person,” Chatwin said.

Variety makes a good team, Gremer said.

“It’s not about raw skiIl, she said. “I think that’s what makes it unique from other sports where you may have to be tall or you may have to be quick. Roller derby can be

blocked off [Dill Street]?”

Cammack said to Norwood.

The concept of ChirpFest lines up perfectly with President Paul W. Ferguson’s 18 goals, said Norwood.

“He’s looking for young entrepreneurs, he’s looking to bridge that gap between the Muncie community and the Village,” Norwood said.

“We’re able to do any and everything he’s asking.”

Cammack and Norwood have gained support from 16 different sponsors including UPS, MITS, Village Promenade and Greek’s Pizzeria.

Raf Domenech of Greek’s Village location said he will support anything that

anyone’s sport.”

It even holds a place for people who weren’t athletes when they were younger.

“I once was told, ‘Success in derby is not your start but the look in your eye. It’s not about skill, it’s about dedication,’” Gremer said.

can be done to join the students, the Village and Muncie residents whether it be EDM or hard rock.

Norwood and Cammack aren’t the only ones behind ChirpFest. Norwood said around 25 students will help with the festival.

“We have students that go to Ball State that help with branding, help us with the photography, videos,” Norwood said. “So they’re all building their resumes and portfolio while helping with this event.”

Cammack and Norwood’s peers also inspired them to charge a low price for the event. Norwood said he

hopes people come to the event and think the $5 ticket is too cheap, and that they’d be willing to pay something closer to $30-50.

“We went back and forth on that for awhile,” Norwood said. “Hey, we go to school with these people. We want them to come out and have a good time, we’re not here to break their back.”

Cammack and Norwood’s plan is to extend this ChirpFest into a regular fall and spring event.

“ChirpFest is gonna be at Ball State forever,” Norwood said. “When Ball State is no longer here, ChirpFest is no longer here.”
