Letter From the Editors

A New Horizon for The Cornell Daily Sun HERE AT THE SUN, our foremost task is to serve the public by producing quality, comprehensive reporting.

What this mission means has changed over the years. Increasingly, the most informative news is not published a day later, in next day’s paper issue, but rather continuously updated online. Additionally, without the time or space constraints of a print paper, stories published digitally are becoming more comprehensive and drawing on multimedia and graphical elements to tell more thorough narratives.

As a result, more and more Cornellians are finding our stories through social media and our website than in the newsstands. We strive to provide the stories you want to read on the platforms you use, and for the past semester, we’ve closely examined how we can do that better.

So, starting in the fall semester, The Sun will print three days a week — on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. By freeing ourselves from the constraints of a daily print model, we are pushing ourselves further to pursue top-quality, around-the-clock journalism. Fueling our decision to restructure the print production is an ambitious vision for The Sun. We aspire to bring you breaking news, sports updates and arts coverage as soon as

possible. We aim to provide more investigative reporting, in-depth opinion pieces and dynamic multimedia on the issues you care about. We endeavor to actively and

we will work with persistence and determination. Over the coming months, we will expand and strengthen our website, incorporating more graphic and interactive fea-

thoughtfully showcase the diversity and complexity of this campus. Ultimately, we are fully dedicated to improving the quality and depth of our journalism.

Pursuing these goals is no easy task, but

tures. We will put more thought and effort in recruiting, training and mentoring our staff in order to build a more collaborative community of writers, editors, photographers, designers, videographers and busi-

ness associates.

We will also rethink our print paper — which remains integral to our coverage — and use it to showcase more in-depth stories from all sections. Our three print publications each week will evolve to feature long-form features and polished, extensive stories. With stronger pieces from news, opinion, sports, arts, dining and science, we will give you more compelling reasons to pick up The Sun’s physical copies.

We’ve reached a pivotal moment in history of The Cornell Daily Sun. Excited as we are to lead The Sun in this new direction, we also know we’ll be making mistakes. In the midst of this exciting progress, we want to hear your thoughts and feedback. Please never hesitate to email us at editor@cornellsun.com, find us on Facebook, or stop by at our office at 139 West State Street.

More than just being a daily, The Sun is becoming a 24/7 publication — your goto source for Cornell news and opinion at any time of day, in print and online.

Thank you for joining us on this wild adventure, and stay tuned.

The ongoing construction in Collegetown has had significant negative impacts on local businesses in recent years, according to store owners.

There are currently six con-

struction projects underway in Collegetown, according to Phyllisa DeSarno, Deputy Director of the Economic Development Department of the City of Ithaca.

“Some of them [the constructions] started in the fall of 2015, so it’s been ongoing,” DeSarno

said. “We are right now getting to the height of things and there will be other projects in the next few months, so it will be going on for probably in the range of another year up there, whether it be roads or new buildings.”

Students Raise $4K to Fight Malaria

Local Tompkins Sees Record Setting Voter Turnout Tompkins County saw record voter turnout for the April 21 primary, according to The Ithaca Voice.

This turnout was also the highest of any county in the state. The Tompkins Board of Elections certified the results of the primary on Thursday, reporting that record numbers came from both the Republican and Democratic parties. The overall turnout was 57 percent, The Voice reported.

Ithaca Man Steals Merchandise, Injures Store Employee A robbery that occurred on the Ithaca Commons last Thursday night led to one arrest, according to The Ithaca Voice.

One store employee was left with minor injuries. The crime happened at 7:15 p.m. at the Benjamin Peters clothing store. Donald T. Hicks, 24, stole more than $500 of merchandise from the store.

Hicks was charged with felony third-degree robbery and misdemeanors for obstruction of governmental administration and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, The Voice said.

Auction Cornell’s ‘bachelors’off to friends, attendees at charity event

By JENNA RUDOLFSKY Sun Staff Writer

NETwork Against Malaria — an organization that works to raise awareness about malaria in Uganda — raised almost $4,000 at their annual Bid Night for Bed Nets event Friday, where they ‘auctioned off’ 29 Cornell bachelors to over 120 attendees, according to Nora Rabah ’18, NAM marketing and publicity chair.

“It was definitely a fun experience. I thought the idea of having a bachelor auction was hilarious.”

ence. I thought the idea of having a bachelor auction was hilarious.”

The event — which is NAM’s biggest fundraiser of the school year — was sponsored and hosted by Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, according to Rabah. Other sponsors included Delta Gamma sorority, PSE Business fraternity, the Global Health Student Council and the Interfraternity Council.

NAM hopes to expand the auction in the upcoming years to offer a greater diversity of events, according to Rabah.

“We might want to have food vendors there,” she said. “It would also be good if we

could have some performances, like an intermission with an a capella group or a comedian. It would create more variety in the event.”

Rabah added that she believes the auction “went very successfully” and succeeded in spreading awareness about NAM and its cause.

“A lot of people came, and a lot of people were becoming more aware of the organization, which is really great,” she said.

Jenna Rudolfsky can be reached at jrudolfsky@cornellsun.com.

Louis Caiola ’17 Rabah said the funds will be used to purchase bed nets, which form a protective barrier around beds to prevent mosquito bites at night.

“NAM raises money through different fundraising efforts in order to purchase and send bed nets for mosquito prevention and ultimately malaria prevention in African countries,” Rabah said.

Bachelors hailed from various organizations and fraternities and were presented on stage to be bid on by friends and attendees.

Louis Caiola ’17, one of the bachelors, said he appreciated learning about NAM’s initiatives through the event.

“I didn’t know what it was at all beforehand until I got nominated and got to meet a few of the members of the organization,” Caiola said. “It was definitely a fun experi-

Reception Honors Cornellians Who Earned National, International Awards

By GRACE SANTARELLI Sun Staff Writer

Over 50 students, family and faculty members attended a fellowship reception on Friday, which recognized decorated undergraduates for their work in and out of the classroom.

“These are the people I’ll see when I open up The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal some day,” said Prof.

Thomas Ruttledge, chemistry and chemical biology, while introducing a fellowship recipient.

All students received nationally and internationally distinguished awards, and were introduced by a faculty member who had mentored them.

Ruttledge highlighted the importance of generosity in a scholarship recipient, expressing his admiration for students who “give up [their] immense talents because there are people who need those immense talents.”

He used Shivansh Chawla ’17 — a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar, who offered to T.A. one of Ruttledge’s classes for free — as an example of one such student.

“Everything [Chawla] has he gives to other people, and I’d like to think that the people in here who will be leaders one day will not forget that

lesson,” Ruttledge said.

Charles Wan ’17 — also a Goldwater Scholar — added that in a chemical engineering class, he heard from many

accomplished students who said they owe their success to mentorship from professors or alumni.

“A common thread in the talks is that they found a mentor who has supported them throughout their career,” Wan said.

me with not only the [scholarship] application, but also to understand what I want to do in the short and long term,” Van Doren said.

Lovette said Van Doren has a passion for ornithology and is “a joy to work with.”

“He’s embedded within this institution in so many ways,” Lovette said.

Marcos Moreno ’17, who was awarded the Morris K. Udall Scholarship — which recognizes a hard-working

Native American or Alaskan native student — also credited his mentors with contributing to his success at Cornell.

“The Udall Fellowship is something that is just as much a recognition of my mentors and supporters as it is a recognition of myself,” Moreno said.

Juliana Batista ’16, who was named a Schwarzman Scholar, said the scholarship will fund her studies of women in the Beijing workforce, which she would not have been able to explore otherwise.

“I didn’t think I’d ever get an opportunity like this to pursue my passions,” Batista said.

Another Schwarzman Scholar, Andrew Schoen ’12, praised his experience at Cornell and the bonds he has made.

“I think that at Cornell there’s a unique ability to stick together and form these bond that last a long time,” Schoen said. “Coming back here after four years, I realized just how special this place is.”

Three students received awards in absentia, and dozens of others were recognized as scholarship finalists or contenders.

heard back was that she was really incredibly touched and grateful,” Saldaña said. “She very much gave her blessing.”

Saldaña said the initial goal of raising awareness for colon cancer changed after Garrett’s death.

“It became really a way to celebrate what President Garrett meant to the student athletes,” he said.

Wherry added that the race “became that much more important to each of us after [Garrett] passed away.”

“We were even more determined to honor her with this event,” Wherry said. “Our goal was not to have another memorial service, but rather to celebrate her life and her impact on the community.”

The race’s name — “A Moment of Grace” — was a tribute to Garrett’s speech to student athletes at the beginning of fall semester, in which she urged them to “carry themselves with grace both on and off the field,” Saldaña said.

In a speech at the beginning of the event, Wherry emphasized that the race’s purpose was to remember Garrett, rather than grieve for her.

Joel Malina, vice president of university relations, echoed Wherry’s message in his speech, saying that Garrett would have enjoyed the race.

“It was a festival atmosphere,” Malina said. “Beth would have been so pleased to see everyone exercising and having a good time.”

Malina added that the event aligned with Garrett’s vision of Cornell.

“Today’s event was a terrific example of Cornell students coming together to support each other and a great cause,” Malina said. “It very much reflected Beth’s spirit and love for our University and our community.”

Proceeds from the race will be donated to student scholarship and colon cancer research funds created in Garrett’s memory, according to the event’s website.

Graap stressed the importance of teamwork and support when it comes to the benefits of timeouts.

“It is not the ideal way to develop freshmen, guys that are new or really anyone,” Pepicelli said about the condensed schedule. “They are competing with me for the first time so they are hearing things from me that I am looking for, or changes that I want to make. So I

am trying to install that on the fly during games.”

Pepicelli believes some of the young guys such as freshmen Josh Arndt and Mark Fraser fell victim to the schedule’s brevity.

“We had a couple of freshmen that from the time the season started, they really worked their way into their positions and making progress, and then suddenly [the season] is over,” Pepicelli said.

The end result is frustrating because of how close the Red was at times, according to Pepicelli.

“I am more disappointed for them than anything because I

It was not a spectacular season, but a fine opening chapter for the coach.

Cavs Escape Hawks,Move to Next Round ATLANTA (AP) — Kevin Love scored 27 points, LeBron James hit a huge shot with 39.2 seconds to go and the Cleveland Cavaliers finished off their second straight playoff sweep, beating the Atlanta Hawks 100-99 Sunday to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

The Hawks had one last chance to extend the series after James missed

a 3-pointer with the clock winding down.

Atlanta got the rebound and put the ball in the hands of Dennis Schroder, who led the team with 21 points.

The speedy point guard drove into the lane but was surrounded by James and Tristan Thompson. Schroder slipped and James tied up the ball, forcing a huge mismatch of a

jump ball with 2.8 seconds left. With a seveninch height advantage, James flicked the ball toward the sideline.

Paul Millsap tried to get off a desperation shot, but it was after the buzzer and didn’t go in anyway.

The Cavaliers, who opened the playoffs with four straight wins over Detroit, made short work of the Hawks as

well in a series that mirrored last year's conference finals.

In that one, the Hawks were the top seed but lost four straight to Cleveland. This time, the Cavaliers were healthy, seeded No. 1 and simply too much for Atlanta down the stretch in three of their four wins. They improved to 12-0 against the Hawks in the postseason.

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT The American Family Veers Off-Road: The Detour

BY PEGAH MORADI Sun Contributor

As someone who watches comedy TV a lot — and I mean a lot — I’ve found that there’s one key ingredient in creating a successful TV comedy: don’t make your show based on a funny plot; make it based on funny characters.

Write good characters, and the good plots will come.

The Detour, created by The Daily Show power couple Samantha Bee and Jason Jones, completely fails this litmus test for a sustainable, quality TV comedy. The new TBS series follows a family of four attempting to drive to a relaxing beach vacation, finding themselves embroiled in misadventure after misadventure. To make things more complicated, father Nate Parker (Jones) recently lost his job at a nefarious biopharmaceutical company and keeps this hidden from his family, paving the way for even more clandestine antics as he tries to frame his exemployer for unethical behavior. The first few episodes enter into a similar pattern: a typical road-trip activity goes awry, disaster ensues, Nate reveals another element of his plot to destroy Big Pharma to the audience, and — without any real resolution — the family pursues on.

The Detour is so plot-heavy that it initially seems like nothing other than a classic road-trip comedy. On the surface, The Detour is almost identical to the 2006 film RV, except without the quippiness of Robin Williams and with way more cable-TV raunchiness. But despite relying largely on its terrifically horrible plot to move itself forwards, The Detour somehow manages to turn its initially banal concept on its head, finding more nuance hidden beneath the gruesome physical comedy. The Detour, initially appearing solely as an edgy anti-family comedy, ultimately becomes a lampoon of the stereotypical white American family somewhere along its journey.

Nate and his wife Robin (Natalie Zea) are the quintessential liberal, upper-middle class parents, outwardly perfect but painted as dysfunctional for comedic effect.

Although The Detour still falls prey to the hackneyed tropes

W

that nearly every flawed family on TV employs (questionable alcoholism, a lackluster sex life, secret reversions to irresponsible activities, among others) it manages to latently break ground in lesser-charted discussions of the liberal white family. The Parkers constantly attempt to be “woke” white people in situations that beg political incorrectness, trying to defensively demonstrate their moral principles. In the episode titled “The Restaurant,” the family stops at a roadside restaurant named “Conquistador’s,” and Nate desperately attempts to make it clear to everyone that he finds

this blatant commercialization of the immoral conquest of indigenous peoples disgusting. Ironically, Nate ends up using a racial slur out of context, and gets ensnared in a big dispute with multiple restaurant employees. The scene is excellent; Nate is beautifully confused, aggravated and defensive all at once, perfectly summarizing the internal commotion of the white liberal.

This critical look at the liberal white family extends past race relations and enters the contradictions of liberal parenting. Nate and Robin end up having to teach their kids about sex and alcohol throughout the roadtrip due to sheer circumstance, often doing so out of pure misunderstanding. What the parents think are their children’s sexual explorations are actually innocent, non-sexual shenanigans, such as when son Jared (Liam Carroll) rubs lotion on the

television in order to warp the image on the screen, then wipes it off with tissues, leaving a supposedly masturbatory mess behind. Regardless of whether or not they are warranted, the parents’ attempts to explain mature concepts to their children are often riddled with inconsistency and dispute, accurately portraying the implicit conflict between showing children the often gruesome realities of the adult world and simultaneously trying to act as responsible, welladjusted role models. The result is a well-executed parody of parenthood and perfection, juxtaposing politesse with anger to illustrate the frustration inherent in maintaining balance in a family.

While The Detour novelly tackles the TV family with subtlety, its comedy still doesn’t quite hit home, leaving the audience with few laugh-out-loud moments.

Although the show has its occasional wellwritten quip, it generally resorts to physical humor and crudity in order to extort laughs from the viewer. The few moments of absurdity are often those with the most comedic zing: a hotel employee refers to Nate Parker Jr. as “Mr. Parkerjer,” an old man with a wine-stained shirt follows the family and speaks in a quasiShakespearean tongue and a Russian woman sings a song about Russia annexing every surrounding nation. Perhaps the COURTESY OF TBS only supplement to the show’s heavy reliance on the disaster-driven comedy is each episode’s lack of a fulfilling resolution. In a manner similar to Seinfeld or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Detour doesn’t ever truly resolve the problems it creates.

The family ends up back in their car, moving on with their trip, en route to their next adventure.

In a way, the lack of explicit conflict resolution is reminiscent of the show’s authentic portrayal of parenthood and family. The Detour ultimately gives the viewer a simple suggestion: Things don’t always come to a neat end.

Sometimes, you’ve just got to get back in your minivan and drive on.

This Is The End, My Only Friend, The End ell, here we are. It’s been quite the ride, hasn’t it?

To be quite honest, I don’t even know what to say.

I’ve read countless farewell columns in my four years of reading, writing for and editing the Arts section of The Sun. Everything worth saying has been said, and more eloquently, by a talented stable of friends and writers that I should have gotten to know better. Sorry about that. I can’t say that you missed much. So it goes.

I don’t measure my time at Cornell in GPA or prelims taken or parties attended or daylights or sunsets or midnights or cups of coffee. I remember the plays I’ve attended, movies I’ve seen, alone, at Cinemapolis on a winter’s afternoon and hours spent watching Game of Thrones (at least 200). I remember the people who have moved me with their art, the writers who have shared the things that moved them, the sprawling conversations on Kiarostami and Breaking Bad and R.E.M. What do you remember? I encourage you to share these memories with your friends and acquaintances in the coming weeks, senior or no.

It’s all we really have at moments such as this.

Last semester, I got mad as hell and wrote a column about the state of the arts at Cornell. In general, I was met with a generous outpouring of support from friends, family and people that I never even knew exist-

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

ed until they made themselves known. And yet, as much as my ego hates to admit, I don’t think anything’s changed. There hasn’t been any widespread movement on campus, no #FeelTheArts or anything like that.

Most people never even read the article, let alone took it to heart; in the immortal words of one Daily Sun commenter, “Stop being pretentious.” In those of another, “Hold deez nuts.” Truer words have yet to be uttered.

I’m not mad as hell anymore. Now it’s your turn.

Now, I charge once more unto the breach of The Real World, beating on, boats against the current of bad literary references and arts appreciation. We’ve got it easier, better, here in our Ithaca, than out There. Where else are we surrounded by the beauty of thought and creation, bolstered by our peers of equal brilliance? It’s frightening to leave, knowing I’ll never have accomplished anything of real meaning while I was here, and Pulp especially knowing FictSean I’ll never accomplish anything Elsewhere. If only I had started sooner.

If you find yourself once again at Cornell next semester, I’d once again encourage you to do everything you can to make yourself happy. Truly, unabashedly happy. It took me far too long to realize

that. I won’t repeat my old column. Read if you care to; I hear it wasn’t so bad. I’m looking to the future now, when opportunities to experience real art are few and far between. I’ve settled on looking toward a career in the theatre — selling out in marketing, not acting — so that I can continue to tangentially contribute to arts and culture for as many people as possible. I hope many of you choose to follow similar career paths with integrity, doing something you’re passionate about. We need more enthusiastic people doing what they love, and not taking the path of least resistance toward a future of guaranteed success. I don’t intend on or expect to make much money, but I think being happy will be enough. Look me up in a few years, maybe I’ll be able to get you some tickets to Hamilton.

Of course, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention at least one name in my retrospection. To my dearest comma Kaitlyn (Tiffany ’15), my greatest teacher and partner, thank you for not thinking I was a total weirdo when I awkwardly hid from you in The Daily Sun offices on our first day of work. I was worried you wouldn’t like me then. I don’t worry about that anymore. I can’t wait to join you in the big city and pretend to be an adult with you. It should be pretty tight.

Farewell, my brave hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

OPINION

Aditi Bhowmick | Abstruse Musings

Epilogue I

have often dwelled on what my last column for The Sun would entail. Often, before falling asleep, I have constructed entire columns in my head. It’s a shame I did not write them down and gave into sleep instead. Because here I am, with so much to say and without a clue about where to begin.

I guess this final edition of Abstruse Musings will be a brutally heartfelt and untempered reflection. To begin, I am so thankful that The Sun exists in the first place. I have often heard people in my various social circles resent The Sun and point out its flaws. Granted, The Sun can improve; it can do more, or do less. But it has endured, and remains relatively independent and student-run, which makes it unique. It is the product of sleepless nights and unconditional dedication of a new board of people every year. They are great with words, but can never explain to you why they lose so much sweat and sleep every single day of the week for The Sun. So, here’s a fellow Sunnie thanking the people who have been toiling away at The Sun’s office for months upholding a remarkable Cornell tradition.

This column has experienced everything — I refer to it as an open journal at times. There have been at least 10 articles on how much I love Cornell. I am not even joking when I say that I wrote my first Cornell nostalgia column during my freshman year. One can only imagine how well I am internalizing the countdown to graduation. There were successive columns on Trump, rants against career fair when I was running up against

It is humbling and reassuring that our experiences are not isolated and unique after all. My last column was for my father. This final one is for some incredible people who have changed my life forever. various walls, reflections as I got involved with social justice circles on campus, mortally depressing breakup columns and delightful discoveries that I make even today as an international student in America. To say the least, it has been a good run with this open journal that somehow always resonated with someone.

The most rewarding facet of writing this column has been receiving emails from alumni, parents, friends and classmates from my Freshman Writing Seminar about how they shared my experience. It is humbling and reassuring that our experiences are not isolated and unique after all. My last column was for my father. This final one is for some incredible people who have changed my life forever.

I guess I can start with my best friends, Nick and James.

Thank you for challenging me to redefine what I think my best can be and for really making my college experience unpredictable and full of adventure, to say the least. Thank you, Naomi, for being a source of sunshine not only for me, but so many people across the years at Cornell. Thank you, Deeya, for always reminding me how wonderful home is throughout these tumultuous years. Thank you to the exceptional faculty of Cornell who have encouraged me and shaped my aspirations in so many ways. If I had to give one advice to incoming freshmen or sophomores still looking for inspiration, I would say do not underestimate the hackneyed classroom. If you ask at Cornell, you will receive more than you asked for. Last year, a graduating senior advised me to make the most of my classroom experience, and it was the best advice I have ever received. Thank you to the Intergroup Dialogue Project for introducing me to new possibilities for personal growth, and for challenging me till the last week of my last semester. Thank you to Libe Café for being the nexus of my life at Cornell. Thank you to the Slope for comforting me on nights when I was homesick. Thank you to all of my roommates who have kept up with my wild stories and experiences. Thank you EARS for helping me hold it together during the very last months. Thank you, Ithaca, for being a rebel, be it with the weather or your quirky community.

Thank you for countless breathtaking sunsets, runs around Beebe Lake (when I still had motivation) and for the memories no one can touch. Thank you to the Clock Tower for watching over us little people while we toiled, failed, complained, gave up and at some point, picked ourselves up again. Thank you Cornell, for a lifetime. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for trusting Ithaca and letting me go four years back. Thank you Cornell, for letting us go now. And finally, thank you to the Class of 2016, for raising the bar, and for inspiring me in so many ways.

As I wrap up this column, the closing line of the Vagina Monologues comes to my mind. I remember the silence in Bailey Auditorium, the curtain closing as the cast looked at the audience, and said in unison — “Go Ahead... Love.”

WOMEN’S LACROSSE

Red Captures First Ivy Tournament Championship

By JEFF ASIEDU Sun Staff Writer

CAMERON POLLACK / SUN PHOTOGRAPHY EDITOR

Cornell is now home to the top dogs in the Ivy League. This weekend, the women’s lacrosse team traveled to Philadelphia to play in the Ivy League tournament, and today the Red earned a victory over rival No. 12 Penn to win the tournament and bring the Ivy League Tournament trophy to Ithaca for the first time in program history.

On Friday afternoon, the Red faced off against Princeton, one of only four teams who managed to defeat Cornell during the team’s phenomenal spring season, and both teams were out for blood. Scoring went back and forth between the Red and the Tigers all game, and at the end of regulation both teams had nine goals, forcing overtime.

However, once the whistle blew to start the overtime period, the Red won the draw and never looked back.

“Princeton was definitely back and forth, [but] we had a decent amount of control,” said senior co-captain Emily Tripodi. “We went into overtime, we got that draw and we knew that we had that momentum, and Catherine Ellis just tossed it away. It was an amazing win, just a great game.”

Ellis’ goal was the finishing touch in the game, and ended the Tigers’ quest for an Ivy League Tournament Championship, but the weekend continued for the Red. After a day of rest on Saturday, the women’s lacrosse team got up early for the championship showdown against Penn, the only Ivy other than Princeton who beat the Red. The

Cardiac Cornell | Two one-goal victories helped the Red win its first ever Ivy League Tournament Championship.

Quakers topped Cornell last week when they came to Ithaca, winning the regular season conference title.

Cornell jumped out to a big lead in the first half, getting an 8-3 lead before halftime on goals from sophomore Taylor Reed, junior Kristy Gilbert, sophomore Joey Coffy, junior Amie Dickson, junior Catherine Ellis and senior Olivia Mattyasovszky. In the second half, Penn

came roaring back and was able to cut the lead to just a one goal, but the Red maintained control of the game and came out with the victory, 11-10.

“We started really well in the first half and built the lead, which was excellent, but Penn is a very experienced tournament team, and they definitely mounted a comeback,” said head coach Jenny Graap ‘86.

The Red watched its lead evaporate as

Penn methodically worked its way back into the game.

“The tide definitely turned a little bit in the second half and Penn started to come back on us,” Graap said. “But I think it was really very pivotal that Cornell’s team stayed composed and honestly I think the leadership on the field and particularly the senior class did a great job in keeping everyone settled down and able to withstand that comeback.”

With the victory, Cornell earns the title of Ivy League Tournament Champions and recieves an automatic bid into the NCAA postseason tournament. Additionally, the game was special for Graap, who earned her 200th win with the Cornell women’s lacrosse program. Graap was a member of the team when she attended Cornell and is now in her 19th year with the program as a coach. Once an outstanding lacrosse player an All-American herself, Graap’s experience still shapes her team’s performance. Twice in the second half, she called timeouts at pivotal times that allowed her team to refocus themselves and maintain their lead.

“Some of it is just reminding them of the game plan and giving them good information and powering each other,” Graap said.

“A great part of timeouts is that we get to come together as a team, and that’s our strength, our strength is being a team and the girls on the bench get to slap everybody on the back and bolster them up, and help out, and that’s really been the story of this squad for 2016.”

Women in Sports Cornell Baseball: A Year in Review BASEBALL

Head coach Dan Pepicelli reflects on his first season with the Red

By JACK KANTOR Sun Assistant Sports Editor

It was a disappointing end to the Cornell baseball season, with the Red finishing in last in the Ivy League.

First-year head coach Dan Pepicelli’s team managed to stay close with the rest of the conference until the final stretch, when the team fell short of expectations.

Pepicelli said he had high hopes for this squad and was disappointed the season ended the way it did. “[I am] disappointed with how we finished,” Pepicelli said. “We just had to play well the rest of the way and

just couldn’t get a big hit or a big pitch.”

The Red (14-24, 7-14 Ivy) won only two of its final 12 games of the season, 10 of which were Ivy League matchups.

“We are just better than that,” Pepicelli said.

Half of Cornell’s losses in the final 12-game stretch were decided by three runs or fewer. This was a team that went out every night and put up a fight, Pepicell said. But the Red was not able to come out on top in those close games. “[We could not] close games out,” Pepicelli said. “Three of the games, in

the eighth inning we gave up the lead.

We just did not have enough depth in the bullpen. Then add in that we played a boatload of extra inning games … and part of that is because of the toughness of our kids.”

This team, while resilient, certainly has its flaws and has a lot of room for growth over the offseason.

“Across the board there wasn’t any area that I felt doesn’t need improving,” Pepicelli said. “We are trying to figure out not just how to hit for a better average but to build an offense.”

If it feels like the season went by quickly, it is because it was a quick season. The Red played its first game of the season on March 5, and its final game on April 30. This Ivy-unique nuance is something that surprised Pepicelli.

The season is less than two months long and can be a challenge for team that is trying to improve.

“It is a real short season,” Pepicelli said. “Development happens in two ways with freshmen. It happens by playing games, which certainly is great. But then also when a season has some length to it, it gives them a chance to kind of play, go practice, evaluate what they need to work on and go back and play again. Those opportunities don’t exist with us.”

The other day I saw an article on The Huffington Post’s website about how Olympic beach volleyball player Kerri Walsh Jennings responded to critics of the apparel that the women wear during their matches. Apparently, when it comes to the topic of women’s beach

fabric, but they are suited for the climate that they are made for. These women are playing on the beach in over 100-degree weather, what else do you expect them to wear?

And, not to mention, their tops are more like sports bras than bikini tops, just in case people

Coming from a sport that also requires tight spandex, let me tell you it would be more than a little annoying to kill yourself training 25 hours a week to then only receive feedback on your appearance. That is not what the sport is about and not what should be the topic of discussion.

I’m sure everyone remembers the comment made by London Mayor Boris Johnson at the 2012 London Olympics during the volleyball match. He stayed that “semi-naked” women players were “glistening like wet otters.”

Obviously, to say something like that on such a large platform about See SCAZZERO page 5
