Life in brief SPORTS Rawls scheduled for sentencing Tuesday Running back Thomas Rawls will be sentenced Tuesday for one count of attempted larceny in a building after an April 8 theft at the Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort.

The high court misdemeanor charge is punishable by two years in prison or a $1,000 fine.

He will be sentenced in Isabella County Trial Court at 3 p.m.

According to Tribal Police, Rawls and a friend used a credit card stolen from the purse of a 62-year-old Holly woman and purchased sub sandwiches and gasoline. The total purchase was $33.75.

Rawls pleaded guilty to the larceny in September.

Rawls signed his own name on the credit card receipt.

Police said Rawls denied going through the purse, although he did testify to moving the purse to the floor so his friend could steal it.

CRIME Freshman arrested for phone thefts A Chesterfield freshman was arrested on multiple charges of larceny from a building at Wayside Central.

Bar staff gave information to the Mount Pleasant Police Department who identified Kenntel Watson as the suspect.

Watson was taking cell phones from customers at the bar on Oct. 14.

Jeff Browne, MPPD public information officer, said staff members contacted officers who apprehended Watson at the McDonalds on Broomfield Street.

When officers found Watson, he had four cellphones in his possession that belonged to other people.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department was investigating incidents of pick-pocketing at the Wayside Central Bar after receiving pickpocketing reports last week.

Watson was taken into custody for possession of stolen property and larceny from a building. He is also charged with one count of receiving and concealing stolen property, four counts of larceny in a building, and one count of minor in possession of alcohol.

Watson is currently lodged at the Isabella County Jail and is being held on $35,000 a bond.

MPPD returned the stolen phones to their owners.

Watson is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday at 8:15 a.m. at the Isabella County Trial Court.

! o o h Ac ow to avoid h n o s p ti s re a sh r o ct o d s u p Cam

By Karissa Lutz Staff Reporter

Flu season has arrived once again, and Dr. Mike Deaton, medical director for Central Michigan University’s Health Services, suggests several tips for students to

avoid the flu and what they should do if they do contract the virus.

“Because our students are in such close quarters, you go to class together, you eat together, you live together,” Deaton said. “If one person gets it, because you’re in such close proximity, a lot of

1. Get your flu shot. Deaton said that it is recommended for everyone six months and older. As of Oct. 15, University Health Services had 1,200 flu shots available to students, faculty and staff.

2. Wash your hands frequently, especially when you’re around a lot of people. Around 80 percent of all infectious diseases are spread by touch.

The best protection against this is washing your hands.

Fans and members of the Central Michigan University football team watched as a 55-yard field goal sailed through the uprights and handed the Chippewas their fourth loss of the season.

Scott Secor’s booming kick with 17 seconds remaining sealed a 3229 victory for Ball State Saturday night, and landed the Chippewas at 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the MidAmerican Conference.

“I thought it was short,” said head coach Dan Enos. “(Overall) we made too many mistakes today. Every week it is going to be close like this in this league and we just did not make enough plays to win.”

Secor’s kick nullified a 12-point second half comeback by the Chippewas.

people are gonna get it.”

If you do contract the flu, Deaton said there is medication available that will make the duration of the virus shorter and less severe if treated within 72 hours of contracting the virus.

“Really, truly, we’d like to see

everyone come in for a flu shot,” Deaton said.

The main clinic is located in Foust Hall 200. Flu shots are available from 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary to receive a shot.

3. Keep your hands away from your mouth, nose and eyes. When a person comes in contact with a germ, that is when the infection begins. Touching your mouth, nose and eyes gives contact to the germ.

Just stay home and rest.”

5. Keep a balanced diet.

Make sure to include vegetables and fruits in your diet, and make sure you get plenty of Vitamin C.

6. Exercise. Students can use the Student Activity Center for free with a student I.D. The SAC is open 6 a.m.midnight on Monday - Thursday, 6 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday, and noon-midnight on Saturday and Sunday.

7. Stay hydrated. Try to drink strictly water.

Caffeinated drinks can lead to headaches and insomnia in some people. Water is the best option to stray away from these side effects.

8. Get a full night’s sleep.

The recommended hours of sleep according to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute is seven to eight hours.

Hot plates of Kabsu, a specialty from his homeland in Saudi Arabia, united Faisal Alaradi with his new friends in Mount Pleasant.

“We have this saying that guys who share the same plate are like brothers,” Alaradi said.

Coming from the eastern region of Saudi Arabia, Alaradi has been at Central Michigan University for almost two years, working toward his Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. After graduating from a school in his home country with a degree in industrial engineering and design, Alaradi decided to go to CMU on a scholarship and further his education and career.

Many international students that transfer to CMU run into challenges. Language proficiency and social support are two of their toughest issues.

“Many students will seek support from fellow transfer students,” said Assistant Professor and Counselor Chun-Fang Frank Kuo. “There are many student organizations that offer support as well as actual support groups for students that the counseling center offers every semester.

Central also has the English Language Institute for students that need to improve their English.”

Alaradi isn’t part of any special organizations but he participates in an intramural sports league, where he competes with other amateur teams in sports such as soccer. He also enjoys going to the Student Activity Center, cooking with his friends and going to downtown Mount Pleasant to check out car shows in the summer.

Along with hobbies, studying also plays a major part in his life as he tries to balance between friends, sports and exams. Back in Saudi Arabia, he said the major courses were more based on labs where hands on skills were most important. Here, Alaradi said, students have to learn

the basics and go through required courses.

“Many Saudi students that transfer to Central must take English language classes to become proficient,” said Tracy Nakajima, director of International Student and Scholar Services. “After they do that, students move on to the academics and start toward whatever degree they want to pursue.”

There are three choices for Saudi students to choose from when deciding to further their education. They can use their own money, get a government job and be on scholarship through them, or work for a company and become a delegate and go to school.

Alaradi started out as a company delegate and then got a job with the government. His dream job, he said is to work for Ford Automotive Industries as a designer.

“Although we do help a lot with getting students acquainted and providing cultural advising,” Nakajima said. “It takes a university to educate a student and I believe the campus really embraces every single student.”

While Alaradi has been working very hard on his education, he said he makes sure he has time for recreation.

He loves to travel and has been all over the state including Detroit, Grand Rapids, Dearborn, Lansing and Muskegon. He also enjoys just spending time with his friends, camping and going on picnics.

“I have a code of life that I follow daily,” Alaradi said. “To make a lot of friends, and be kind. Our attitudes toward others are their attitudes toward us. A smile and a greeting goes a long way and I believe it’s the key in being happy and making new friends wherever you are.”

the fourth quarter.

Rush found Kroll for a twopoint conversion and tied the game at 29 with two minutes and twenty-two seconds remaining on the next play.

The Chippewa defense could not keep the Cardinals offense from crossing midfield on the proceeding BSU drive, and Secor sealed Ball State’s first MAC victory of 2014.

“We beat ourselves,” Davis said. “The turnovers, penalties and everything. We can’t let that happen.”

CMU committed five turnovers in the game and was penalized a season-high 10 times for 91 yards in the loss.

“It is very uncharacteristic of this team,” Enos said.

“We talk to our guys all the time about being disciplined.

I don’t know why that changed today.”

Senior running back Thomas Rawls fumbled twice in the game. Rawls’ second fumble hit the ground

in the red zone with CMU down by one score with under five minutes remaining.

“He’s the one that got us to the dance,” Enos said of Rawls. “He’s human too. We all made a lot of mistakes out there today.”

Rawls finished the game with 32 carries for 167 yards and one touchdown.

The game fell out of the Chippewas control when Rush fumbled inside CMU’s red zone late in the first half.

Ball State scored a touch-

down on the next drive en route to a 26-14 lead at halftime.

“The ball got stripped. I don’t want to put too much of that on (Rush) just yet,” Enos said. “The one interception he threw, it was an under throw.”

Rush completed 20-of-32 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns in the loss.

The Chippewas travel to Buffalo next weekend for a matchup with the 3-4 Bulls.

He started his tiny business this summer, never knowing that it would take off so quickly.

“It started off as more of a hobby than a job, but now it’s turned into a job,” he said. “I didn’t expect to do this well.”

Between 9:30 p.m.- 2 a.m.

Thursday through Saturday, the stand is open on the corner of Michigan and Main streets.

“I make enough to make 2 a.m. worth it,” Prill said. “It’s enough to give up my weekends.”

With a happening party atmosphere around town on the weekends, Prill has experienced a fair number of drunk college students

looking for a snack. Drawn in by the inviting smell of warm food on a cold night, passersby often stop for one of Prill’s walking tacos.

They are $3 for a small serving and $6 for a large serving.

“I get all the drunk people, well, usually inebriated,” Prill said. “It makes for some great stories.” ­– Sydney Smith Assistant Student Life Editor

To top it all off, Prill adds Fritos.

Customers have an array of options to dress up their walking taco. These include sour cream, salsa, jalapeños and other taco favorites.

Damon Brown presents “I’m Gonna Love You Through It - A caregiver’s journey through the highs and lows,” tonight from 7-9 p.m. in the Bovee UC 221 Rotunda.

The Brown family lived through five separate cancer diagnoses, surgeries, and treatments for seven years. Not allowing cancer to control them, this family continued to live, laugh and love as this disease tried to tear them apart.

Students, faculty and staff are invited to spend an evening with Brown as he relives his family’s journey through cancer and how faith and love can help anyone through the darkest hours.

After choosing the meat, Prill adds beans. Throughout the night, Prill is constantly running back and forth to his car to grab more supplies to cook for the downtown masses.

Served in a Chinese carry-out container, the base of Prill’s walking taco is rice. “It’s sort of like a concession stand walking taco, but beefed up,” he said.

“This guy knows how to capitalize on life. He sells a product as needed and doesn’t take advantage of people. Drunk people need to eat.”

Islam, a Pluralistic Society

Waitlists must be reduced by hiring more staffers

H. Talat Halman Guest Columnist

Photo Illustration by Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Depression can come from many sources and affect individuals in different ways. Locations around campus, such as the Campus Health Clinic in Foust Hall, offer solutions to improve health and topple challenges.

Waiting game C

entral Michigan University’s Counseling Center has recently been strained by an increase in students seeking its services. The increase in demand has been attributed in part to this fall’s

freshman class, which grew by 27 percent since last year.

It is clear that CMU must find a way to accommodate students by increasing staff and services.

Last year, officials were adamant about limiting the number of incoming freshman, as to not admit more than the university can comfortably handle.

Vice President of Student Enrollment Steven Johnson relayed this sentiment clearly and succinctly to Central Michigan Life in two sentences.

“I am not going to admit more than the capacity we have to handle,” Johnson said. “3,500 to 3,600 students for an incoming class would probably be the max I would want to see.”

With the official freshman enrollment count at 3,773, CMU has surpassed that limit by nearly

200 students. We are beginning to see the challenges associated with admitting more students than the university has the capacity to handle.

Students – especially freshmen and transfers not used to university life – face myriad challenges throughout the course of an academic year. Projects, final exams and homesickness are only a few reasons that compel students to feel strained.

CM Life has spent the last year voicing the opinion that the counseling center has done much for many students with very few resources. Yes, the emergency help is always available, yet the problem of long waitlists for people in need must be fixed now, and quickly.

Nearly 200 students seek help from the Counseling Center each week, and those wishing to speak with a therapist will ultimately be put on an ever growing waitlist.

That means they will wait in silence and suffer longer.

Yes, our students are always met with compassion and a helping hand when visiting the Counseling Center, but a long wait for serious issues should not accompany that.

CMU’s counseling team must certainly be commended for its commitment to struggling students. Most of all, we appreciate that the services are free, as healthcare costs are yet another unneeded hurdle.

If our administrators care about the overall health of the university, they must first address the mental

health of its students, effectively, efficiently and at a quicker pace.

They can do this easily by hiring more counselors, expanding the hours they meet with students and by providing the department with the quantity of staffers it needs to serve a growing number of clients.

CMU once made a promise to its students on tuition, and there are many who feel that promise was not kept. We challenge CMU to make us a new promise, one that has our health in mind as opposed to our wallets.

We ask for them to promise our student body quicker access to mental health; to fortify an existing avenue that has proven itself to work – not only for their own advantage, but for our peace of mind in stressful, uncertain times.

Letter to the editor

Citizen’s Climate Lobby tax not bad for business, American families TO THE EDITOR: I know that many students and community members are very concerned about Global Warming and the future of the health of our planet.

The non-partisan group Citizen’s Climate Lobby has offered a revenue neutral carbon tax proposal that has been shared with the U.S. Congress.

There is concern that this carbon tax would place American businesses at a competitive disadvantage, however, CCL’s Carbon Fee and Dividend proposal calls for border tax adjustments for goods imported

from nations lacking an equivalent price on carbon.

These adjustments do comply with World Trade Organization rules. A recent study from Regional Economic Models, Inc. shows that we can reduce emissions and add jobs to the economy, provided we put a rising fee on carbon-based fuels and return the revenue from that fee to households. This REMI study found that with a fee on carbon starting at $10 per ton of CO2 and rising $10 per ton each year, in 20 years we can reduce emissions to 50 percent below 1990 levels. By giving

all revenue back to households, the fee-and-dividend solution provides an economic stimulus that adds 2.8 million jobs to the American economy over those 20 years.

Pleasant Citizens Climate Lobby meeting on Nov. 1 at 4 PM at the Veteran’s Memorial Library Annex at 301 S. University Ave. The Citizens’ Climate Lobby is a nonpartisan group that is building a national movement to address climate change with a graduated, revenue-neutral

Dr. Robert Lindahl Professor of Music, CMU

When I was a youngster, I researched the Ottoman Empire (the Islamic lands centered in what is now Turkey). I discovered to my delight that the Ottoman Empire had a 500-year history of respecting and protecting Jews and Christians.

In fact, fleeing from the Christian persecution of the Spanish Reconquista, many Jews had resettled peacefully in the Ottoman Empire.

As I continued to research Islamic history, I learned that the standard of practice among Muslim empires had been to accept and grant religious freedom to Jews and Christians. The Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad had set the precedent and pattern: Jews and Christians and potential others are “People of the Book” and thus also “Protected Peoples.” In crafting the Charter for the pluralist city of Medina, the Prophet established that the Jews and Muslims are one community. As Islam spread, the Prophet Muhammad hosted a delegation of Christians and allowed them to pray – their Christian prayers – in the mosque in Medina.

So the respect for and protection of Jews and Christians is an essential element of Islam as based on its two sources: The Qur’an and the example (sunna) of the Prophet. So anyone who professes to rule “Islamically” is Islamically mandated to co-exist with Jewish and Christian communities.

Recently, a so-called “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS),” or now the so-called “Islamic State,” has persecuted and killed Christians and a (monotheistic) minority group called the Yazidis. In so doing, this entity is by definition what I would call “NISIS,” the “Nonislamic State in Iraq and Syria.”

Here’s why: The Qur’an is addressed to “...those who believe in Judaism, Sabians, Christians, Zoroastrians and polytheists” (Qur’an 22:16-17). The Qur’an is explicit that multiple religions are meant to co-exist, saying that “if God had so willed, He would have made you a single people. But He means to test you in what he has given you: So strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of all of you is God” (5:48).

Yes, there are other quotes less favorable to the ideals of religious pluralism. But I have presented the quotes that have defined and describe how – in 1,400 years of actual practice – Muslims treated Jews and Christians. And while Jews and Christians were restricted from proselytizing, the Jews in Muslim lands experienced none of the persecution and oppression their fellow Jews experienced in Europe.

So what this means is that the so-called “Islamic State” has overturned 1,400 years of a history of respectful treatment of religious minorities according to an Islamic pluralistic mandate.

And so we have to ask: In what way(s) is this so-called “Islamic State” really Islamic?

The practice of Islam is based on two questions: What does the Qur’an say? And what is the example established by the Prophet Muhammad? The Qur’an and the Prophet’s example point to a pluralistic state in which especially Jews and Christians share a place at the table.

CMU alumnus to release interactive community guide map application

By Erick Fredendall Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students will be able to fire up a new app in Feburary 2015.

The mobile app, created

by Bizdom supported startup Guidesmob, will be an interactive map of Central Michigan University and the surrounding community, providing information on transportation options, food, basic services, nightlife and more.

CMU alumni and Chief Operating Officer Jay Peitsch collaborated with the CMU chapter of the American Marketing Association last fall to discuss ways to engage students and market the app to local businesses.

Peitsch graduated from CMU in 2009 with a major in sports management and a minor in business. He

said he drew some of his inspiration for the app while in Mount Pleasant. He said the experiences here at Central inspired him to bring back the project to his alma-mater.

“I participated in the Make-A-Pitch competition in 2008. I pitched a website at the time, but at the time, cellphones weren’t as advanced as they are now,” Peitsch said.

Former advisor to CMU’s AMA, Jeff Hoyle, said the that the students were challenged with this project, but overall, the idea was great.

Guidesmob launched it’s first app for MSU in August 2012. Over 27,000 devices have download the app, with 5,000-6,000 users accessing the app daily.

Dan Kerbel, founder of Guidesmob, said the primary function of the app is exposing students to expe-

riences available in their campus community.

“The orientation in college is usually geared more towards academics, and a little bit of information on how to get around town, but there’s so much left for the students to discover,” he said. “There’s been no real tool to help them discover that and keep them engaged with what they discover.”

The app is only available on IPhones iOS, but Kerbel said Guidesmob is raising funds to make the app available on Android.

Peitsch met Kerbel in early 2013, and after sharing their ideas with each other, they chose to work together to create Guidesmob.

Kerbel said the company intends to expand to the rest of the Big Ten next year.

The Spartan App is one of two Guidesmob products available for iOS devices for free.

The apps connect people with attractions in the community like banks, stores, gyms and theaters.

The interactive map lists all local restaurants arranged by food type. The app also features nightlife events, bars and drink specials and has schedules for bus routes.

Three CMU Baja teams place in Top 25 at University of Louisiana

By Rachael Schuit Staff Reporter

Students in the Society of Automotive Engineers Baja team brought the mayhem of do-it-yourself racing vehicles to the University of Louisville with flare and a defining win.

All three Central Michigan University cars ranked Top 25 at Louisville Midnight Mayhem Race. CMU ranked higher than every other Michigan university and placed second in the country.

Team Chippewa Performance will compete against more than 100 schools at the 2015 Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series in May. CMU’s Baja team will participate in races in Maryland, Alabama and Oregon.

While the Baja races are rewarding and fun for the students who participate, they can also be very challenging, as they require a great deal of work.

Benjamin Ritter, advi-

sor for the Baja team, said a minimum of 20 hours a week is required to build the vehicles. The student-created cars withstand four hours of endurance on the track.

“A lot of (the challenge) is the time constraint of trying to build a car and go to school full time,” said Farmington Hills junior Derek Donovan.

The vehicles are all powered by a 10-horsepower Intek Model 20 engine donated by Briggs & Stratton Corp. Using the same engine creates a rigorous engineering design test for the students involved.

Ritter said getting involved is as simple as showing up but it takes persistence to stay involved. Only those who are dedicated can stick it through to the end, and the experience students gain is invaluable.

“Our group is fairly tight knit,” said Virginia Beach senior Walter Robertson. “We function very well as a team both in the building process

and the events themselves”.

Participating in Baja allows students a chance to put their engineering skills into practice.

“We get to apply knowledge to a real world problem,” Donovan said. “It’s valuable work experience in the engineering field.”

The competitions simulate real-world challenges, giving student members the chance to experience planning and manufacturing tasks they would see in the consumer industrial market.

“It forces you to be a wellrounded person,” Robertson said. “You have to problem solve and critically think and above all else you have to persevere because above all else at the end of the day you’re representing yourself and the school.”

The Baja team is preparing a new off-road vehicle for the 2015 SAE Baja Collegiate Design Series competitions.

Senior Day Showcase Soccer splits weekend series at home against Buffalo, Akron »PAGE 7

MONDAY, OCT. 20, 2014 | MOUNT PLEASANT, MICH. | ISSUE NO. 24 VOL. 96

Greg Cornwell | Staff Photographer Ball State defensive end Michael Ayers reaches for the end zone after a Chippewas turnover Saturday at Kelly/Shorts Stadium. The Chippewas dropped to 4-4 on the season with the 32-29 loss.

Dead giveaway Numerous penalties, turnovers in the red zone cost the Chippewas during 32-29 loss to Ball State

By Taylor DesOrmeau Senior Reporter

They handed the Cardinals free yards. They handed them the ball early and often. And from there until the end of the game, nothing else mattered.

The Chippewas won the yardage battle Saturday against Ball State 426-287, but lost the game 32-29, falling to 4-4 overall and 2-2 in Mid-American Conference play.

“We didn’t make enough plays today,” said head Coach Dan Enos. “(We) turned the ball over too many times, too many penalties. It cost us the game.”

Central Michigan University football came into Saturday 12th best in the nation committing 4.43 penalties per game for an average of 38 yards per game.

On Saturday, the team had 45 penalty yards in the first three minutes of the game, leading to a Ball State touchdown on the Cardinals opening drive.

“(We) turned the ball over too many times, too many penalties.

It cost us the game.”

Dan Enos, Head Coach CMU finished the game with 10 penalties for 91 yards, 63 of which came in the first quarter.

Five turnovers for CMU were the most they’ve had in any game this season.

The Chippewas had only 11 turnovers through their first seven games of 2014.

All of the Chippewas final five drives began promising as they were within one score of Ball State, but four of those drives ended in a turnover or failed fourth-down conversions.

Down by eight points for much of the third quarter, the Chippewas coughed up the football on the Cardinal 12-yard line on back-to-back drives.

The first turnover was a fumble by senior running back Thomas Rawls, the second was a turnover

on downs when Rawls couldn’t convert on fourthand-one.

“There’s two drives,” Enos said. “That’s 14 points we left out there.”

With 4:04 to play, CMU got the ball back after forcing Ball State to go threeand-out.

“Despite the turnovers and us beating ourselves offensively. We came out and put emphasis on it to score. We wanted to score and we were going to score,” said senior wide receiver Titus Davis.

A 37-yard Rawls run, an eight-yard Davis touchdown and a Rush-to-Jesse Kroll two-point conversion tied the game 29-29 with 2:22 to play.

Davis caught the game-tying touchdown with less than five minutes remaining in CMU’s loss.

Head coach Dan Enos was personally penalized 15 yards for sideline interference during the loss.

the Cardinals had gained a total of eight yards in the fourth quarter before their final drive.

Nine plays and 29 yards later, Ball State senior kicker Scott Secor faced a 55-yard field goal, with his previous high being from 49 yards. His extra-point attempt in the first quarter was blocked.

His line-drive kick squeaked through the uprights with 17 seconds to play.

“I’m speechless,” said sophomore defensive end Joe Ostman about the miraculous field goal.

Enos said a tailwind played a role in the kick.

“I thought it was well short, it just kept carrying,” Enos said. “I just thought the kicker, man he pounded that ball, it was a great kick.”

Davis’ two touchdowns in the game tie him for most receiving touchdowns all-time with wide receiver Bryan Anderson in CMU history with 28 career touchdown catches.

The Swift Kick of Karma In both football and life, you get what you deserve.

For the second time this season, the Central Michigan University football team has followed up a statement victory with a deflating loss.

After the team went to Purdue and claimed the largest margin of victory over a Big 10 school in program history, they came home and were spanked by Syracuse.

Following last week’s upset of Northern Illinois, the Chippewas received another punch to the gut on Saturday.

A booming Ball State field goal sent a dagger through the heart of a valiant second half comeback handing the Chippewas their most heart-wrenching loss of the season yet.

Saturday’s loss created the most dangerous feeling a football team and its fan-

base can have: Doubt.

Can this team handle the pressure that comes from winning consecutive games? More importantly, will this team win the games that it should?

With no teams with winning records left on CMU’s schedule, suddenly nothing is certain anymore.

Make no mistake about it: The Chippewas beat themselves on Saturday.

Five turnovers and nearly 100 penalty yards are not ingredients for a Mid-American Conference Championship team.

Even head coach Dan Enos was penalized for a sideline interference call against Ball State.

This is the man that preaches to his team about keeping “complacency pills” out of their mouths and what a standard of discipline should be.

Senior running back

Dominick Mastrangelo Sports Editor

Thomas Rawls fumbled twice in the loss. The second came with CMU driving in BSU’ red zone and the Chippewas down by one score.

It was a crucial mistake that allowed BSU to have the final possession of the game and pull off the upset.

Losing in a powerhouse conference is unfortunate, but understandable.

Nothing about Saturday’s loss was explicable.

If the Chippewas continue to play the way they did against BSU, they won’t win another game this season. A 12-point second half comeback is fun to watch, but Saturday, it meant nothing.

Ultimately, the Chippewas should not feel upset or shocked by what happened at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

When you play as poorly as they did, losing is not just likely. It is absolutely deserved.

Soccer wins on Senior Day, still alive in MAC Tournament race

By Neil Rosan Staff Reporter

Scoring three goals against Akron on Senior Day, the Central Michigan University soccer team kept their conference tournament hopes alive.

Junior Kaelyn Korte scored two goals Sunday in CMU’s 3-0 win over the Zips.

“We know we have to win the rest of our games,” said senior forward Emily Cooksey.

“It feels good to get a win that will give us good momentum going forward.”

After being outshot 17-4 and losing to fellow Mid-American Conference team Buffalo on Friday, the women bounced back in front of their home fans.

Outshooting Akron 14-12 the Chippewas recorded season high numbers in goals and shots.

“We could have played better,” Cooksey said. “We had a few chances we could have finished, but we didn’t. It was still a good building block.”

Korte was the biggest standout during the match.

She only needed two shots to score her two goals and was

strong on defense.

“She has really embraced the number six role,” said head coach Peter McGahey. “She bossed the game today. She shut down their attack with her tackles and interceptions.”

The win gives CMU six points in the MAC standings.

CMU now sits four points out of the final conference tournament spot, which is currently occupied by Western Michigan.

With nine points still available through their last few games of the season, the Chippewas said all of their goals remain in front of them.

“Our ability to leave points on the table at any point does not exist,” McGahey said. “We have to get strange results to go our way. We have to run the race all the way until the end. If you don’t, you never know how you would have finished.”

Senior Day Showcase

The Chippewas celebrated the legacy of three seniors on Sunday afternoon. Laura Gosse, Jennifer Gassman and Emily Cooskey all played their final Sunday match in Mount Pleasant.

Cooksey said the fact she is playing in her senior season has still not fully set in.

“It’s kind of weird,” Cooksey said. “It doesn’t seem like it was too long ago that we were freshman setting up signs for the seniors.”

The seniors are making the most of their final season with the program. The group has combined for 22 of CMU’s 38 points and have all scored goals at crucial points during various games this season.

“Not everyone makes it through college soccer,” said forward Laura Gosse. “It is a testament to our character because we have been able to stick with it the past four years.”

McGahey said the 2014 senior class has done a solid job of laying the foundation for future generations of CMU soccer players.

“This senior class’s legacy will leave behind a base of family, championship culture and hard work,” McGahey said. “When you look at the last chapters of these three seniors, you are very proud of the legacy they are leaving for the younger ones.”
