Editor’s note: Some sources asked to remain anonymous to prevent retaliation and potential loss of employment and educational opportunities. An asterisk identifies a source’s name has been changed to protect their anonymity. Graduate students in the WSU Department of Psychology are calling for new faculty members to lead the department to recovery after current administrators dismissed complaints of a professor’s acts of hostility and favoritism last spring. Complainants alleged Chris Barry, professor in the department, favored undergraduate students in his lab by directing preferential recruitment toward female students and made some of his mentees feel “uncomfortable” with his behavior and “hostile” emails. The Daily Evergreen obtained over 350 pages of investigative documents through a public records request that show the Office of Civil Rights Compliance and Investigation, formerly the Office for Equal Opportunity, interviewed 17 individuals related to
wrote in an email to CRCI. “I’ve come to realize that your process is not confidential or trustworthy.” Although records indicate multiple allegations against Chris Barry, CRCI closed the inquiry on May 30, which specifically focused on alleged inappropriate conduct violating Executive Policy #15 and Executive Policy #28. EP 15 refers to discriminatory harassment, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct that can harm individuals or violate individual rights. EP 28 is a policy on faculty-to-student and supervisor-to-subordinate relationships. CRCI and Human Resource Services worked jointly, saying in the closing memorandum contained in the records that there was “insufficient information to warrant further investigation or review.” Graduate students in the psychology department said the inquiry only focused on the alleged EP violations and did not adequately address a separate issue: the climate in Chris Barry’s lab, which students described as “hostile” and “toxic.” According to the records, a psychology graduate student also expressed concern that Chris Barry was targeting recruitment toward female undergraduates, not because of sexism against See Psychology Page 6

Local science center uses grant for upgrade Center to use $1,600 for outdoor signage to increase visibility By Shanel Haynes Evergreeen reporter
The Palouse Discovery Science Center will update its outdoor signage for the center after receiving a grant from the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. Meri Joswiak, director of Discovery Science Center, said the center received $1,600 from the Pullman Chamber of Commerce. She said the discovery center works with families and community partners across the Palouse to bring hands-on learning and science education to people of all ages. “This donation will help make sure people can find us and feel welcomed and inspired the moment they set foot on our premises,” she said. The new signage is designed with cool, clean colors and was printed by Fast Signs of Lewiston, she said. Marie Dymkoski, executive director for Pullman Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber of Commerce has been fortunate in terms of finances over the past few years. She said this is partially due to new memberships and investment fundraisers. She said due to the chamber’s recent increase in funds, the board wanted to find a way to invest back into the city of Pullman. “As a board we sat down and talked about how we could give back to the community, and it started with the idea of the initiative Pullman 2040,” she said. She said the board started Pullman 2040 to encourage community members to develop a collective vision to better the Pullman community. She said that as part of the initiative there are many projects in Pullman that need financial

The Palouse Discovery Science Center received a $1,600 grant from the pullman Chamber of Commerce that wil be used for new signs that are more colorful to increase their visibility to the community. assistance to grow. To help those projects get started the board decided to put together a fund of $50,000 a year that would go toward creating a grant for startup funding to help different organizations in the city of Pullman, she said. The grant opportunity is open to organizations in Pullman, Dymkoski said. It’s in some cases open to for-profit businesses that would have an impact on the community through the Pullman 2040 initiative. There is a committee made up of several board members
who receive the grant proposal and determine the impact on the community the funds would have, she said. The board then votes on whether to accept the grant proposal. She said the board has given out several investment grants over the past year to other organizations in the Pullman community. The application for the investment fund is located on the chamber’s website, she said. The minimum amount to apply for is $250 and the maximum amount is $10,000. The application then goes to the chamber and is sent
to the voting committee of chamber members. The group then meets to review the application for approval. She said if the organization applying for the grant is asking for more than $5,000, the organization will be asked to give a presentation to the board. After an organization receives their funding for their project, the Chamber of Commerce asks that the organization makes it known to the community that their project was funded by the chamber. In many cases there are some
small organizations in Pullman that do not have larger investors, but they have great ideas for projects and events that would enhance the community, she said. She said when businesses join the Pullman Chamber of Commerce as members, they want to see that the board is doing something proactive with their money and putting it toward the community. “It’s our pleasure to grant people funding to start, finish or even complete an entire project, it’s our way of giving back,” she said.
Student first to create own Sangiovese wine Wine made in class has developer’s name on every bottle label By Shanel Haynes Evergreeen reporter
WSU viticulture and enology student Noel Perez received a $15,000 Wine Spectator of the Year scholarship after being the first WSU student to create his own Sangiovese wine. Perez said he was surprised to learn that he was receiving the scholarship. He said at that point in time his mind was focused on creating his own Sangiovese wine, as part of the blending learning class taught by Director of the V&E program Thomas Henick-King. “You go to school and you go to work but you don’t expect anything out of it, so I was shocked and absolutely grateful” he said. Perez said after being notified of his award he continued to perfect his Sangiovese wine. He said that this wine would be the first he produced to include his own name on the label. He said he loves the taste of Sangiovese wine in particular because of the wines spicy character and fruity tones. Perez said that growing up in the Walla Walla Valley opened his eyes to the potential career opportunities in the wine indus-
try. He said that being exposed to agriculture at a young age is what led him to pursue a major in viticulture and enology. He said his major allows him to learn how to balance grape growing and winemaking at the same time. Henick-King said Wine Spectator is a magazine that focuses on wine culture as well as rating certain types of wines. He said the magazine actively supports the WSU viticulture program by donating money to support teaching, research and providing scholarships. He said because of the magazine’s donations, staff can nominate one outstanding undergraduate student to receive the scholarship for spectator of the year. Henick-King said nominating Perez for the award was not something that he had to put much thought into. “Noel excelled as a student and works very well with his peers. He also shows a lot of initiative when it comes to wine making,” he said. Henick-King said that after tasting Noel’s wine he really appreciated how well it was executed. It was then decided that Noels wine would be displayed at the fundraiser event Auction of Washington Wines as part of the V&E program last semester, he said. Perez said there were many

He said having his Sangiovese from the program among so many other great wines was a surreal feeling. Perez said that during the auction five cases of his Sangiovese wine was sold. As
part of the fundraiser the profits from the wine sold went toward the V&E program, he said. “Little by little people kept tasting my Sangiovese and they really liked it and from there the positive comments continued,” he said.
Perez said that his future plan is to progress in the wine industry and eventually create his own company. He said he wants to continue getting better at wine making and hopes to one day fund wine projects similar to his own.

Jane Austen novel comes to life on stage
CAROLYNN CLAREY | THE DAILY EVERGREEN
Emma, played by PHS senior Keva Shull, struggles to understand what love is in the play, ‘Emma: A Pop Musical,’ on Friday night at Pullman High School.
Drama club earned $4,000 in show’s opening weekend By Madysen McLain Evergreen reporter
Pop culture music filled the theater as the Pullman High School Drama Club began their performance of “Emma” a colorful pop culture story based on Jane Austen’s novel. The club performed for six showtimes at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8, 9, 15 and 16. The club also held shows at 2 p.m. on Nov. 15 and 16. Andrew Mielke, musical director of the show and PHS teacher, said more than 50 students were involved in the production of “Emma: A Pop Musical.” Students managed the sound system, built the sets and acted. The drama club has experienced huge growth since its beginning four
years ago and seven shows later, Mielke said. Only four guys auditioned for the first show when the play needed four guys in the cast, there were no extras. This year, every part is double cast. “The big thing I’ve instilled in this program is success breeds success,” he said. The opening weekend made about $4,000 in ticket sales. The cost to put on the production totaled to about $5,000, which included about $2,500 for the rights of the musical and $2,000 for costumes, Mielke said. He has his eyes set for “The Beauty and the Beast” as the next production, he said. The PHS Drama Club will perform two musicals and one play this year. The club normally only does two productions a semester. Hunter Clark, PHS senior cast as Frankie Churchill the pop star
stud, started his drama career during sixth grade in the Missoula Children’s Theatre when he was forced to try it out. “I figured out that I actually did enjoy being on the stage and acting out characters,” Clark said. He said the music is different than other musicals because it features modern pop music, such as “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Houston and “Man! I Feel Like A Woman” by Shania Twain which presented a challenge when the club was obtaining rights to the musical. Clark said he will attend the Evergreen State College to study political science in the fall. Michael Woodall, employee for Canopy Salon in Moscow, and three other salon employees said they came to support Clark’s musical performance. Clark has gotten his hair cut
at the Canopy Salon since he was 13. PHS senior Maegan Presley was cast as Emma, a high school girl obsessed with matchmaking. She said the cast practiced every day after school for two hours starting at the beginning of the school year. Presley, performing in her second production, played the female lead for the opening weekend on Friday and Saturday. “We did super well,” she said. “We did better than I was expecting.” Presley said the cast handled all the bumps in the road well. On Saturday, the sound system cut out during a song and everyone played it off as if nothing had happened. She wants to pursue a career in music education after graduation. “Music is something I love and the music teachers in my life have influenced me in a positive way,” Presley said.
Annual craft fair supports arts department Event proceeds will go toward paying for equipment, trips By Carolynn Clarey Evergreen reporter
The Clarkston High School music programs have banded together to create a widespread craft fair that covers every inch of their school. Con Schafman has been the Craft Fair event coordinator for the last two years. In total, she has volunteered at the fair for the past five years. Schafman got involved with the event through the CHS booster club because her children are in the band. Proceeds from the event go to making sure the kids don’t have to worry about paying for uniforms, equipment, school events and trips, Schafman said. Some of the events that are partially funded by the craft fair are the band competitions and the CHS band camp over the summer.

WSU leads against Idaho State

Cougars stay perfect in Beasley, Elleby scored 23 points By Ryan Root Evergreen reporter
The Cougars men’s basketball team (2-1, 0-0) defeated the Idaho State Bengals (2-2, 0-0) 72-61 after a two-way clinic performed by sophomore forward CJ Elleby. Three players scored double digit points for WSU.
Senior forward Jeff Pollard celebrated his birthday with a season high of 11 points. “Credit to my teammates for finding me in the post,” Pollard said. “I just really felt comfortable.” Sophomore forward CJ Elleby lead the Cougars in points, rebounds and steals with 23 points, eight rebounds and seven steals respectively. Seven steals is a new single game career high for him and this is the most steals in a game from a Cougar since 1999. “I was being aggressive in
the passing lanes,” Elleby said. “On defense it [worked out].” The Cougars lead Idaho State the entire game. This is the second occurrence this season. WSU only led by five points at the half, head coach Kyle Smith said the team’s effort to extend the lead in the second half was excellent. “Five points is pretty tight,” Smith said, “[if we] don’t buckle down that could be a one possession game.” Idaho State junior guard Tarik Cool came into the game averaging 19.7 points per game
this season. The Cougars held Cool to zero points in the first half and held him to two points for the entire game. Those two points came from his lone trip to the free throw line. “Keeping him off the foul line, with anyone it’s important,” Smith said. “We emphasize that every day.” Senior guard Jaylen Shead took a fall with five minutes left in the game and injured his leg. He was assisted off the court and benched for the rest of the game. He finished with eight points.
“Hopefully it’s nothing too major,” Smith said. “[We] can’t afford to lose his ball handling.” WSU’s free throw percentage improved from its last two games with 81 percent made. WSU’s field goal percentage was 44 percent and Idaho State’s field goal percentage was 38 percent. The next game for the Cougars is against Omaha University at 4 p.m. Thursday at Beasley Coliseum. The game can be viewed on Pac12 network.
Cougars get one game closer to bowl eligibility WSU football won on Saturday against the Stanford Cardinal By Kuria Pounds Evergreen reporter
Cougar football returned to Pullman for Dad’s Weekend to take on the Stanford University Cardinal on Saturday, resulting in a 49-22 win for WSU in front of a sold-out Martin Stadium. The Cougar offense revived itself after a disappointing showing in Berkeley, and the special teams for WSU struggled early, but managed to fix the mistakes when it mattered. With this win, the Cougars (5-5, 2-5) now sit one game away from being bowl-eligible for the fifth-consecutive year. WSU drove down the field first, finishing with a 29-yard passing touchdown from redshirt senior quarterback Anthony Gordon to Easop Winston Jr., redshirt senior wide receiver, to take an early 6-0 lead. The Cardinal (4-6, 3-5) blocked the extra point attempt for WSU. Gordon completed 44 of 60 passes for 520 passing yards, paired with 5 touchdown passes and an interception. Both Winston and Brandon Arconado, graduate student wide receiver, finished with 255 combined receiving yards and See Stanford Page 6

The student who received the text from Chris Barry said in an interview with CRCI that the message did not stand out to her before, but should have. “It’s a little manipulative. A lot manipulative,” the student said during the interview. “It makes me question all of our other interactions, was there a hidden motive. You don’t know.” Chris Barry said in an interview with CRCI that he did not attempt to ascertain the identities of the complainants. After Chris Barry was notified of the inquiry, a graduate student said in an interview with CRCI he was “nice to [the] point it’s almost manipulative.” “I feel very much under a microscope,” Chris Barry said in the interview. “I don’t know what the right approach is.” Tammy Barry, also a faculty member in the department and Chris Barry’s wife, said in an interview with CRCI that she had students tell her positive things about her husband. There is no reason to doubt that he is an “ethical” and “moral” person, she said. Tammy Barry has a supervisory role over graduate students as the director of clinical training, said Greg Keiser, fourth-year clinical psychology graduate student. She was promoted from this position and began work-
ing as an associate dean of the graduate school on Nov. 1. “Feels like he’s already been convicted in the court of public opinion,” Tammy Barry said in an interview with CRCI. Graduate students avoided addressing their issues directly with Chris Barry out of fear of “professional retaliation,” according to the records. Records show that though CRCI prohibits retaliation, students fear backlash from their faculty mentors because of the inquiry. Alex said some graduate students expressed concerns about their mentors’ ability to write them letters of recommendation for internships, which are required for their degrees. “[I] know we had discussion of retaliation, but [there is] only so much anybody can do,” a graduate student said in an interview with CRCI. “[Chris Barry] does wield a lot of power over our futures if we don’t distance ourselves from him.” Records show that handling of the issue was delegated to department chair David Marcus, who several students mentioned is friends with Chris Barry. Keiser said students saw no follow-up from either Marcus or CRCI, especially any that addressed the hostile lab climate. The department remained “radio silent” on the issue from the time the inquiry was closed in May until August, he said. Alex said efforts to address the issue since the inquiry happened have been student-led. “I feel like [we] all know something is wrong, but not wrong enough for something to happen,” a graduate student said in an interview with CRCI. “We want something to change, but I don’t see that happening.” Mandatory department meeting The psychology department holds a weekly meeting for graduate students on Wednesdays. Meetings are usually recorded for those who cannot make it, but on Aug. 21, Marcus emailed students ahead of time saying there was no plan to record. Marcus called the meeting to address what he described in an email to the graduate student cohort as “professionalism (especially regarding rumors), and bullying.” Ashkannejhad and Lisa Gloss, dean of WSU’s graduate school, stood near tables at the front of the room as students entered. A week after the meeting, the Evergreen reached out to Marcus, Ashkannejhad and Gloss for further clarification. They declined to make a comment and directed the Evergreen to Weiler. More than 25 students from the program who were in attendance at the department meeting whispered questions amongst themselves before Marcus began to speak. After introducing administrators in attendance, Marcus announced they would be discussing — in limited detail — personnel matters that he implied most people already knew of. Marcus said CRCI asked those who knew about the situation not to spread “rumors” or conduct their own investigation and to report any additional information to CRCI. As the department chair, he said his main allegiance is to the program’s success. “If the outcome of that is there’s no evidence to support that, then we have to move forward,” he said in the meeting. “The faculty member who had been the target of those allegations needs to also be able to be successful to be able to continue to contribute to the program.” Keiser asked at the meeting if CRCI recommends students not discuss their experiences. Ashkannejhad said the university would never tell a student not to seek out support from close friends and family but to do so in a way that would “minimize stress and disruption in the workplace.” A graduate student said at
the meeting their cohort cannot access mental health services in the community because most local mental health professionals are in some way connected to their program. Because of this, the students said they often depend on each other for emotional support. “When I say that you could talk to your friends, that includes people within your department or within your program or cohort,” Ashkannejhad said. “It would mean that you’re talking to people that are your close support network.” “We are. Collectively, the graduate students are a close support network,” the graduate student responded. “Am I wrong?” Ashkannejhad opened the floor for questions and several graduate students raised concerns over being discouraged from talking to other students in the department, as their peers also serve as their support network. In response to the concerns, Marcus restated that CRCI did not find sufficient evidence of an inappropriate relationship, and that he was concerned further discussion would perpetuate rumors. Though Gloss and Ashkannejhad repeatedly told Marcus it was best to stop talking and sit down, Marcus continued to push back against what he described as a belief of “guilty until proven innocent.” “The program can’t go forward like that,” Marcus said. “I don’t know how I could work with you guys like that.” Students speak out Keiser said it is impossible for some graduate students to have faith that their advisers will interact with them in an unbiased way. “That’s a scary thing for graduate students to hear, where this person [who] has so much power over them, doesn’t know how to treat them professionally,” Keiser said. It would be difficult for some students to regain trust in some faculty members in the department, he said. “When people aren’t feeling able to share their experiences, abuse can be perpetuated … that is my genuine fear — that there would be a chilling effect here,” Keiser said. “It will block students from feeling like they can discuss these things, report them and get justice for them.” Records show that students confided in some faculty members in the department about issues they have been facing over time, including the alleged hostile climate. “I know a couple students have told me that their biggest fear is to have to come forward and have nothing happen. I can’t tell them what is going to happen. I don’t know how to respond to that fear,” a faculty member said in an interview with CRCI. “I don’t know what you can even tell me.” June*, graduate student in the psychology department, said a lot of her frustration is with CRCI and how it handled the inquiry. The situation did not give a chance for faculty and students to gather and discuss the issue at hand, she said. “They really pitted the faculty against the students,” June said. “It really just divided everybody up.” June said a lot of the frustration comes from CRCI’s lack of follow-up with the department. “I think [CRCI] made a really big mistake really showing allegiance to the university first versus being there for students,” June said. Gemma*, graduate student in the department, said a professor held a meeting in his class to discuss the importance of free speech rights a few days after the mandatory meeting. “It didn’t have to be him,” Gemma said. “I wish it would have been someone in a position of power taking control of the situation.” That professor has since taken medical leave, citing mental health stressors caused by the state of the department as the reason for his departure. Rosie*, graduate student in the department, said Chris Barry
was not receptive to feedback and denied multiple requests to have graduate student-only meetings to discuss specific projects. Rosie said he does not have weekly meetings with graduate students after their first year, which could be difficult because some students need more guidance even after then. “I really found that that was a big struggle for me because his communication style was very unclear and very abrasive because we didn’t have regular meetings,” Rosie said. “It was very unclear what his expectations were.”
“
these things happen,” Alex said. “Every single progress that’s been made has been student-driven.” She said the fallout from the CRCI inquiry could have been prevented. “This wouldn’t be happening if our program had strong leadership,” Alex said. Weiler said CRCI and HRS worked with Marcus, Gloss and the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences to address issues in the department. “There’s a lot of work that has been done and — I think frankly — more work that needs to be
“
men, but because women are “more vulnerable, [and have] that willingness to do things, be involved in things.” A graduate student said in an interview with CRCI that Chris Barry cited a male student from his previous institution as an example of why he does not like to work with men. Psychology, as a field, is generally dominated by women, Chris Barry said in an interview with CRCI. He said he did not direct preferential recruitment to female students. Chris Barry outlined a document for CRCI investigators regarding information about how he recruits students in his lab. “I have [not] and do not target students for any demographic reasons,” Chris Barry wrote in the document. “I ‘target’ good students for recruitment when I have an immediate need for new research assistants.” Students told investigators that Chris Barry had up to 16 students total in his lab, a majority of which were female, according to the records. Preferential recruitment of undergraduates was outside CRCI’s investigative purview, according to the records, because “investigators did not have sufficient information to link that treatment to a protected class.” Though CRCI declined further investigation because the issue was not under its purview, representatives did not deny the possibility of an issue could be present. “There are times where we make a finding that conduct is not based on a protected class, but are not making a finding that the conduct did or did not occur,” Holly Ashkannejhad, CRCI director of compliance and investigation, wrote in an email to a graduate student. Records show that Chris Barry sent the following text message to an undergraduate student on April 12, the day after he was notified of the inquiry, which raised concerns about potential retaliation. Chris Barry was a less credible witness because of this discrepancy and others, according to the closing memorandum.

Annual pumpkin drop teaches science for all ages Physics and Astronomy Club host 15th annual event for Dad’s Weekend By Eurus Thach Evergreen reporter
The 15th Annual Pumpkin Drop hosted by the Physics and Astronomy Club was their biggest outreach event of the year that attracted many attendees of all ages just before Saturday’s football game, the club president said. This year, with the donations from Dissmores and WSU Organic Farm, about 40 pumpkins were dropped at 11 a.m. from the 12th floor of Webster Hall by club members, said Laura Rosen, physics senior and president of the Physics and Astronomy Club. A kit was prepared with the help of Nicholas Cerruti, who has his doctorate in physics and the club advisor, to provide attendees with information on the science behind the pumpkin drop. It is a tradition for the club to organize this event on Dad’s weekends. Because the pumpkin season is ending, this fruit is the preferable choice for the event, Rosen said. Starting with only 20 pumpkins dropped, the Physics and Astronomy Club rapidly gained public attention and interest through the years. The attendees could be anyone from every walk of life who were interested in science or curious about the event. “It’s a really cool opportunity to show off Webster Hall. A lot of people just see it a really tall, ugly concrete brick [Building] but it’s really charming and it’s super interesting,” said Emily Mock, physics junior and secretary of the Physics and Astronomy Club. The 15th Annual Pumpkin Drop began at 9 a.m. with scientific demonstrations, like liquid nitrogen. Attendees could either enjoy pumpkin pies and coffee or get involved in small physics experiments. There were pumpkins available for optional decoration. The attendees could also bring their own painted pumpkins and see them dropped, Rosen said. The club members dropped one pumpkin at a time. There were available seats for the attendees on the courtyard, Mock said. It was important to keep the attendees far enough from the dropping area. She said the highlight of the event was the liquid nitrogen pumpkins drops. The liquid nitrogen made the pumpkins cold and steaming. When they touched the ground, the steam would come out

It was a scary experience for the club members because they had to lean their heads and arms out of an opened window to drop the pumpkins, Mock said. It was also the most anticipated activity of the club for its members. “This is my last year here because I’m a senior. I would definitely [...] drop at least one,” Rosen said. As soon as the dropping activity ended, the attendees were able to experience the laser maze hosted by Graduate Physics Club, said Kartik Krishnan Sreedhar,
physics fourth-year Ph.D. student and the club president. Whenever the players touched the lasers, the sensors would make an alert sound. The Physics and Astronomy Club is hosting the egg drop on Mom’s weekend, Mock said. It’s a competition where egg vessels will be dropped in vessels built to try and protect the egg from breaking. The Physics and Astronomy club meets at 5:30 p.m. every Monday on the 12 floors in Webster hall’s faculty lounge.
Craft Fair | Continued from Page 4 band, are the main volunteers for this event, booster club president Stephanie Lathrop said. They help vendors bring in the equipment and set up booths at 5:30 a.m. and then help tear down at 5:30 p.m. Lathrop said the students volunteer so that they can help their program in the long run. “This benefits their season,” Schafman said. “It behooves them to invest in it. This is their treasure.” Not only did the students have the Craft Fair to work on, but also a concert last week. These students are very busy and them showing up to help shows how much they care, Schafman said. The CHS music program has been hosting the fair for 29 years, and many of its vendors have been with them since the inception of the event. One such group of vendors is headed by Carol Fuhrman and Carol Ulrey. Ulrey started
the booth around the same time the fair started, Fuhrman said. From stocking stuffers and candy to handmade cards and crafts, the two women get together to create each individual item, down to the package it’s in, all by hand. The women start production for next year’s event immediately after the fair. “We sell about 50 percent of what we make every year and this is the only sale that we do,” Fuhrman said. In total, the CHS Craft Fair had 161 vendors and an estimated 2,000 attendees this year, Schafman said. The fair uses every bit of free space as it occupies every hall and gym that the school has to offer. The event has a very limited amount of vendors they can take every year so many vendors are left on a waitlist.

“People have already started calling as of [Friday] to reserve their spot,” Schafman said. “There is a high demand for this event for both shoppers and vendors.” Event attendee, Jennifer Knudsen had previously participated in the fair in past years for inspiration on her own crafts and treats. “We haven’t been for a few years but we decided to come back to see how it’s changed,” Knudsen said. Planning an event like this is a year-round process, Lathrop said. Schafman might even start planning and organizing next year’s fair as early as Sunday, she said.

Cougars make it to the second round of NCAA Junior midfielder makes second half goal against Memphis Jaclyn Seifert Evergreen reporter
It was a packed house on a rainy night on the Lower Soccer Field as No. 24 WSU soccer beat the University of Memphis Tigers 1-0 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. This was the Cougars third-straight season advancing to the second round. “The Pac-12 season and this conference definitely prepared us for tonight,” head coach Todd Shulenberger said. “Super proud of our group, that’s an excellent Memphis team.” This was the first time the two programs played each other. WSU made an appearance in the NCAA Tournament eight of the last nine seasons. After this weekend, only 32 teams will be left in the NCAA tournament. After 12 shots, six shots on goal and eight corner kicks, junior midfielder Makamae Gomera-Stevens scored for the Cougars in the second half to make the score 1-0. This was her first NCAA Tournament goal. “Myself and the team are really excited to make it to the second round,” GomeraStevens said. The goal came after graduate student Averie Collins passed the ball along at the top of the 18-yard box where GomeraStevens found the left side-netting of the goal. “Averie obviously beat her player and I found myself wide open so I just called for the ball and touched it in and scored,” Gomera-Stevens said. Memphis junior forward Clarissa Larisey, who scored 16 goals this season, did not have a single shot on goal during the match. She was named the American

Athletic Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Year and named to the first team. Larisey is tied for sixth in the country for goals scored. She additionally leads her team this season in shots and shots on goal. “We knew that their biggest strength was their number 17,” Shulenberger said. “She’s a great player, 16 goals, but we see that every day, so I don’t want to say we had specifics on her, we were more concerned about the shape,” Shulenberger said. In the first half, the Cougars challenged the Tigers defense with nine shots, four shots on goal and three corner kicks. Memphis had one shot in the first half, leaving graduate stu-
dent goalkeeper Ella Dederick with no action. Within the first three minutes of the match, Washington State has three shot attempts that were stopped by the Tiger defense. Senior forward Morgan Weaver had a chance from a through ball, but it was the Tigers junior goalkeeper Elizabeth Moberg who made two back to back saves to keep the score 0-0. In the 16 minute, junior midfielder Makamae GomeraStevens had a noteworthy shot on goal. She dribbled around three Memphis defenders to slot the ball to the left side of the goal, but Moberg stopped it with her right foot. With only six minutes left in the first half, Tigers sophomore defender Kimberley Smit
received a yellow card after she tripped WSU sophomore forward Molly Myers on a breakaway. At halftime, Shulenberger said he told his team to stay positive and to not get counted. Both teams were eager for a goal at the start of the second half and the rain made the field slick. In the 63 minute, Myers received a through ball at midfield. Then, it was Myers and Moberg one v. one where the Tigers goalkeeper made the stop. Myers again had another attempt to score seconds later where she just missed the right side of the goal. Only minutes later, the Tigers just missed the back of the net hitting the post to keep the score 1-0.
As each minute ticked down to the final whistle for the Cougars, the Tigers gave their best effort as they made a number of dangerous attempts on the WSU defense. Shulenberger said he told his team at halftime winning is hard and to not take this moment for granted, but he is proud of his team’s performance. “We really wanted to win for each other,” Gomera-Stevens said. Washington State will travel to Charlottesville, Virginia for the second round of the NCAA Tournament against No. 3 and No. 1 seed University of Virginia Friday. The time and location of the match are to be determined. “Soccer is crazy and anything can happen,” Shulenberger said.
Stanford | Continued from Page 5 three touchdowns. Head coach Mike Leach said this was the most complete game of the season so far. “We had contributions on offense, defense and special teams,” Leach said. Winston said the defense stepped up the whole game and the energy level has definitely been boosted. “[The defense] put their best foot forward … It was just great to see them come together,” Winston said. Redshirt junior linebacker Jahad Woods collected his 100th tackle of the season with a sack. This is the first 100-tackle season for the Cougar defense since former linebacker Peyton Pelluer collected 101 tackles in 2015. Woods said he was surprised to see Stanford throw the ball that much, but it gave the defensive backs opportunities to make plays. “It was kind of like playing against our offense just continuously throwing the ball,” Woods said. Gordon drove down the field and capped off the drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Tay Martin to extend the Cougar lead to 13-0. To start the second quarter, WSU went down the field and finished with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Gordon to Winston to give the Cougars a 19-0 lead, after redshirt junior punter Oscar Draguicevich III fumbled the hold, redshirt sophomore kicker Blake Mazza
missed the extra point attempt. Gordon threw a redzone interception to freshman safety Jonathan McGill with 6:21 left in the second quarter. The Cardinal answered with a 23-yard passing touchdown from junior quarterback Davis Mills to sophomore wide receiver Michael Wilson to cut the Cougar lead down to 19-14 late in the second quarter. WSU ran the two-minute offense and drove down the field, but couldn’t convert on fourth down, so the Cougars settled for a 35-yard field goal by Mazza to stretch the lead to 22-14 entering halftime. After an 83-yard kick return from sophomore wide receiver Travell Harris, Gordon threw a 5-yard passing touchdown to Arconado to extend the lead to 32-22. An interception from Mills to redshirt junior safety Skyler Thomas resulted in a 2-yard passing touchdown from Gordon to sophomore running back Max Borghi to extend the Cougar lead to 42-22. With that touchdown, Gordon now set the singleseason record at WSU for passing touchdowns with 39 this season. “Right now,” Leach said, “he’s probably playing quarterback better than anyone in the country.” The Cougars’ next game is set for 6 p.m. Saturday against the Oregon State University Beavers at Martin Stadium for senior night.
