A Syracuse University graduate student and former women’s lacrosse player has filed a lawsuit against the university and women’s lacrosse head coach Gary Gait, alleging they acted recklessly and negligently in causing her personal injury. Syracuse.com first reported the lawsuit.

Addy Tauro, who is listed in the SU directory as a graduate student at the university, filed the lawsuit on Sept. 29. Tauro was participating in a practice on Oct. 8, 2013, when she suffered a personal injury “caused solely by the negligence and reckless conduct of the defendants,” the complaint alleges. see lawsuit page 7

THIRSTY thursday | zipang sparkling sake

Sake has fruity taste with apricot notes

By Monique Iuster staff writer

While I was scoping out a new type of alcohol to write about, I decided to completely switch it up and try out some Zipang Sparkling Sake, which I have never tried before. Though I don’t hhave enough experience to compare this Japanese drink to anything, I found this beverage extremely delicious and satisfying.

Sake is a Japanese wine made by fermenting rice. The difference between sake and regular wine is the production — sake has a brewing process similar to beer, as opposed to wine’s fermentan process. This particular sake is produced by secondary fermentation in a closed tank.

Zipang Sparkling Sake comes in a short, green bottle with a silver label.

The liquid poured clear with a hint of yellow. A light head sat in the glass for only a few seconds before disintegrating into only a few little bubbles, much like champagne. The carbonation is moderate and the body is light to medium.

On the nose, the drink has a slight rice vinegar scent, reminding

me of the smell of the sticky rice I often order with Thai food. Aromas of pear, apricots, and a hint of alcohol followed the rice vinegar aroma.

The drink is light and fruity with dry, spicy and woody flavors. Initial flavors of apricot and dried tree fruit eventually gave way to a light tannic taste with citric undertones. There was basically no aftertaste.

Sake is not always carbonated, but I chose one with carbonation, as I am a huge fan of light, bubbly aperitifs.

One thing to note about this drink is that this particular sake goes flat very quickly. About three minutes after opening the bottle, I noticed the bubbles starting to die out, and by about ten minutes the bubbles were almost completely nonexistent.

Therefore, I recommend enjoying this soon after opening.

I drank this chilled and paired it with a meal with lots of Sriracha.

The sweet fruity flavors and light carbonation of the sake balance the spicy red condiment perfectly.

Zipang Sparkling Sake is made in Kyoto, Japan but is sold at liquor stores in the United States. It sells for about $7 for a 250 mL bottle and is 7 percent alcohol. mciuster@syr.edu

IN 2014:

With less than three weeks left until Election Day, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump went head-to-head in the third and final presidential debate that aired on Wednesday night. It gradually developed into a series of heated exchanges over issues and personal attacks.

Moderated by Fox News journalist Chris Wallace in Las Vegas, the debate had numerous tumultuous

moments throughout. When Wallace asked Trump to clarify his claims that the election is rigged and whether he would concede if he were to lose the election, Trump said he will “look at it at the time” and refused to answer the question. Clinton called his remark “horrifying.”

Trump also revealed that if he were to be elected as president, he would nominate judges in the Supreme Court and hinted the 1973 Supreme Court Roe vs. Wade decision that protects women’s right to abortion could be overturned.

Clinton, Trump face off in tense final debate asst. news editor

Commemorating the Syracuse University students lost in the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, this year’s Remembrance Week will feature a variety of ceremonies and events.

The week, which will run from Oct. 23-29, remembers the 35 SU students who were killed in the Dec. 21, 1988 terrorist bombing, along with the plane’s 224 other passengers and 11 people on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland.

The annual event serves to remind the SU community of the preciousness of life and the importance of moving on in the face of tragedy.

The Remembrance Week events will begin Sunday with a candlelight vigil honoring the victims of the bombing in Schine Student Center at 7 p.m.

One of this year’s new events will be a panel, on Monday, of scholars discussing the contexts that cause terrorism to arise.

The panel pairs with a lecture later in the week about the effect of modern terrorism on the global Islamic community.

Trump, describing himself as prolife, criticized Clinton for her stance on abortion, saying she permits people to “rip the baby out of the womb” near birth. Clinton responded with expressing her support to the Supreme Court decision and women’s decisions in their health care and reproductive rights.

About 30 minutes into the debate, the candidates began to interrupt each other, including at one point when Trump called Clinton a puppet and “such a nasty woman” while Clinton made fun

of Trump for building a hotel using steel from China while he accuses the country of stealing jobs from the United States. Both candidates also insulted each other’s experience.

Trump told Clinton the one thing she has over him is experience but called it “bad experience.”

“She’s been doing this for 30 years.

Why the hell didn’t you do it over the last 15, 20 years?” Trump said.

Clinton responded, “I’m happy to compare my 30 years of experience, what I’ve done for this see debate page 8

Passionate debate responses work to Clinton’s advantage

H

illary Clinton has finally had enough.

After months of Donald Trump’s scorched-earth campaign aimed at discrediting Clinton’s character, record and policy, the Democratic candidate took a stand when she had little to gain from the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday.

This time around Clinton strayed from the “when they go low, we go high” strategy that her campaign had seemingly employed over the course of the previous debates.

In the shadow of the Trump Hotel — which is built from Chinese steel, by the way — Clinton showed a passion and temerity that she had yet to exhibit. Clinton’s detailed and descriptive policy outlines countered Trump’s talk of “big league” immigration reform and other hyperbole. The specifics of her campaign were eloquently stated, yet the tone with which she delivered these proposals held a slight tinge of anger.

Clinton has been criticized for being too political and not showing enough emotion, yet she held nothing back on this occasion.

Clinton called out her opponent for his failure to bring up “The Wall” in his meeting with the Mexican president, Enrique Peña Nieto, and elicited laughs from the audience when she questioned “Who does that?” in regard to the six-foot-tall portrait of himself that Trump purchased with funds allocated to his foundation.

Most potently, Clinton called attention to Trump’s proposed punishment for women who seek abortions.

This was a defining moment in a night that

RYAN DUNN CHILLARY VIBES

included Trump eliciting audience laughter for saying, “Nobody has more respect for women than I do.” Clinton exposed Trump as the sexist, misogynistic bully that he is.

When Donald Trump leans into the microphone, purses his lips and calls Clinton’s statements “wrong,” it does not discredit what she is saying. When Donald Trump brings special guests to the debates to be used as props, it does not make him appear sympathetic. When Donald Trump bullies his opponent by impersonating her, calling her names, and questioning her judgment, it does not make him strong.

By most measures, Clinton’s victory in the election seems imminent, as evidenced by the Trump campaign’s refusal to state whether or not they will contest the results of the election.

Clinton’s refusal to play out the string into November shows that she has the strength and leadership skills needed to properly carry out the presidential duties this country needs. She was also amiable, genuine and heartfelt.

Ultimately, Clinton eliminated all doubt regarding whether or not she has the character to be president and she did so in spectacular fashion.

Clinton clearly wins by tackling the issues

H

illary Clinton and Donald Trump met Wednesday night in Las Vegas for the third presidential debate. Moderator Chris Wallace of Fox News did little to hide his conservative bias for much of the night, while the candidates completed their final night of unproductive onstage bickering. Here’s how Clinton came out ahead on each of the issues.

Supreme Court Clinton smartly interpreted the opening question on the Supreme Court’s role in terms of upholding women’s rights and income inequality, whereas Trump stuck to the usual conservative position that the Constitution is set in stone. Whenever he falls back into this routine, it’s questionable how much of this he actually believes and how much he works just to appease the Republican base.

Immigration Trump continues to tout his border wall and deportation plan while ignoring the fact his plans are immoral and unreasonable.

Wallace used the opportunity to question Clinton’s push for open borders, something that came from the WikiLeaks release.

But Wallace didn’t question the viability of Trump’s outrageous plans — a disappointing lack of fact-checking by the moderator.

The economy Again, both candidates didn’t stray far from their campaign pledges: Clinton promoted her college tuition plan and Trump focused on destroying NAFTA. Blaming the United States’ sluggish GDP growth on President Barack Obama’s stimulus package, Wallace was unrelenting with his conservative bias.

COLE JERMYN

OUT OF LEFT FIELD by the Clinton campaign did little to endear him to undecided voters.

Trump also refused to say he would respect the outcome of the election with the “corrupt” media swaying the results. This won’t help Trump gain support, as he seems to look more for pity than for votes.

Foreign “hot spots” Although, Clinton has a clear advantage on this issue with her time as Secretary of State, a 15-minute conversation won’t solve the issues as complicated as the Islamic State’s terrorism and the Syrian conflict.

Trump’s most nuanced position on the Syrian conflict consists of repeatedly discussing how bad Aleppo is, and bemoaning the rise of the Islamic State. Trump just flat out does not understand foreign policy and diplomacy, and has shown little progress on this issue.

Debt and entitlements In the final topic of the night, Wallace was right to point out both candidates’ fiscal plans will increase U.S. debt . Trump thinks he can fix this by increasing U.S. GDP growth to 6 percent, which the U.S. hasn’t done in more than three decades.

Clinton needs to do more to decrease federal spending to balance the budget, but at least she doesn’t push for unrealistic economic goals.

Conclusion

Fitness to lead

Overall, the night presented more of what we’ve been seeing for the entirety of this election. Clinton, while not without her own flaws, cannot help but demonstrate how completely unprepared Donald Trump is to be president.

Wallace took this opportunity to go after Trump for the first time, questioning the Republican candidate on his many accusers of sexual assault. Trump’s outrageous claim that the accusers were controlled

Trump falls flat during final debate

J

ust like that early 2000’s JoJo jam goes, it’s just too little too late. Same goes for Donald Trump: The final debate is just too late for you to get your act together.

He rightfully called out Clinton on various issues, including her former support for stricter border control, her senatorial voting record and her flip flop on the Trans Pacific Partnership. But he failed to deliver, just like my 2 a.m.

GrubHub order.

For the most part, Trump and Hillary Clinton candidates kept their cools and even occasionally talked about their policy positions. This may be wishful thinking, but it would have been nice if this was done two debates ago.

Trump in particular would have benefitted more if he had discussed his policy positions early on in the campaign, rather than now. When he and Clinton weren’t battling it out, he raised some firm points and used a few buzzwords that would make any far-right conservative swoon. He spent a solid portion of the first segment of the debate talking about potential Supreme Court

But Trump still had two particularly shining moments during the debate. The first, when he called out the former secretary for pivoting from moderator Chris Wallace’s questioning of a quote of hers in which she called an open border policy a “dream.”

This even garnered some applause from the audience.

The second happened when he strategically called out President Barack Obama, whom Clinton has closely aligned herself to, for his record-number deportations of illegal immigrants.

That shine, however, dulled out toward the end of the debate.

Trump came off as a sore loser when he said he was going to wait to see if he would accept the outcome of the election. And Wallace was right when he called out Trump for his answer, saying it has been proper decorum to concede, granted if Clinton

He also fumbled during his last answer on saving Medicare and Social Security, arguing the key to both is repealing and replacing Obamacare. Trump had a perfect opportunity to say what his position would be, as he has consistently said that he wants to protect Medicare and senior citizens. But he just didn’t deliver.

Playing the blame-game with the topic of the sexual assault accusers against him did not benefit him either. He could have used this opportunity to apologize for his past behavior and say he was looking into it. Instead, he blamed the Clinton campaign.

How Keene State Campus is heating its campus with vegetable oil

K

eene State College is hoping to save both money and the planet in its latest efforts to go green.

The college is in the middle of transitioning from No. 6 fuel oil to a 100 percent purified waste vegetable oil to heat its campus and is the first college to do so in the country, said David Weeks, a Keene State Physical Plant employee.

The vegetable oil is a biofuel sourced from a company called Lifecycle Renewables, located in Marblehead, Massachusetts.

The vegetable oil fuel, also known as LR100, is considered to be carbon-neutral, said Cary Gaunt, Keene State director of campus sustainability.

In addition, LR100 eliminates the school’s dependency on foreign oil, has a less noticeable odor, is a renewable resource, has a lower maintenance cost and is cost-competitive with the oil Keene State previously used, Gaunt explained.

Both Gaunt and Weeks said there are no downfalls to using the LR100 instead of the previous oil, based on what they’ve seen.

LR100 is more expensive to produce than the previous oil, but with federal and state government incentives, the cost drops significantly, Gaunt said.

“We have to think about not only environmental sustainability, but also financial and institutional stability,” Gaunt said.

Lifecycle Renewables receives incentives from the federal government because they produce the vegetable oil fuel, which allows them to be costcompetitive. Keene State would receive incentives from New Hampshire’s state government because it burns a carbon-neutral biofuel instead of fossil fuels, Gaunt said.

Keene State has not seen any money from the incentives yet, as this is still an experimental run with the LR100 fuel, Weeks said.

The switch from fossil fuels to biofuel has been

well-received by the campus community, said Victoria Drake, senior environmental studies major and Eco-Rep at Keene State.

“Students were kind of shocked that we were the first university or college to do this,” Drake said.

“Everyone thinks that it’s great and that we’re setting an example.”

One of the biggest complaints with burning fossil fuels to heat the school was the fumes, Drake said.

“When I did live on campus, I did notice that the burning area was right near one of the dorms my freshman year,” she said.

0 The number of colleges, other than Keene State College, in the country that use waste vegetable oil to heat their campus

Second-, third- and fourth-year students on campus have noticed a significant change in the campus’s air quality since switching to LR100, Drake said.

“When you open a jar of No. 6, you have to leave the room because it smells so bad,” Gaunt said.

“When you open up a jar of the vegetable oil product, it smells like canola oil, so the headaches and the complaints over the No. 6 don’t exist with the LR100 product. It smells clean.”

Thirty-six percent of Keene State’s fuel load for the 2016-17 academic year will be the vegetable oil fuel, Weeks said. The school has been burning the vegetable oil since June and they will burn the remaining No. 6 fuel oil in the winter when the temperature drops, Weeks said.

Keene State, being a large institution, buys its oil in yearly contracts, Gaunt said. For the 2016-17

academic year, the school had already purchased a contract to use No. 6 fuel oil in its burners, but was able to renegotiate the contract so the school can experiment with the LR100 during the year to test its viability as a heating oil, Gaunt said.

“We’re transitioning away from the No. 6 heating oil,” Gaunt said, “but we are obligated to fulfill our contract.”

Lifecycle Renewables gets its vegetable oil from restaurants, hospitals and institutions with commercial kitchens in Boston and all over the Northeast, Gaunt said.

Keene State hopes to use their own waste cooking oil as a source of LR100, Gaunt said. Keene State must wait until its contract with the company that picks up its waste oil ends before signing a contract with Lifecycle Renewables to use its waste oil as a component of the biofuel, Gaunt said.

“With sustainability, you always like to come full circle, and this would be full-circle sustainability,” Gaunt said.

Keene State’s commitment to sustainability is strong, Gaunt said. She said Keene State was one of the first schools to join the American Colleges and Universities Presidents’ Climate Commitment in 2007 and that the college’s strategic plan named sustainability as one of its primary goals.

The college currently works with Second Nature, an organization that promotes sustainability in higher education. Second Nature works with Keene State, Syracuse University and more than 650 other college campuses across the United States, said Stephen Muzzy, senior manager of Second Nature’s climate program.

“We see the higher education sector as being a key component for pushing societal transformation towards a low-carbon and zero-carbon global market economy,” Muzzy said. krose100@syr.edu

gap in transitioning from service member to veteran status to civilian status.

The NVRC will bring together, under one roof, existing university programs. The building will serve as a permanent home for veteran programs including the Institute for Veterans and Military Families, the Office of Veteran and Military Affairs, the Army and Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps and the Student Veteran Resource Center.

“You have all these pockets of military programs that are going to be brought under one roof,” Novack said.

SHoP Architects, the architect for the NVRC, is a New York City-based firm that is currently among seven finalists in the running to design the Obama Presidential Center. Novack said the university wanted a highcaliber architect because it will set the tone

on many levels for the Campus Framework.

SU recently hired Daniel MacDonald, a veteran and owner of MacDonald Engineering, as the first employee to work on the NVRC site. There will be continued efforts to hire veterans to work on the project, Novack said.

“What better way, what would be more fitting than to have veteran owned businesses come in and be a part of the construction of the National Veterans Resource Complex?”

Novack said. “That is certainly a priority.”

The building will be about 100,000 square feet and will house five classrooms, a 1,000-seat auditorium, a cafe, a gallery, a research center and a banquet hall that turns into a lounge/study area, Novack said.

Drumm said the NVRC is designed to be in compliance with ADA. There will be minimal stairs and elevators and ramps throughout. He added that the building will have a flow that will make it simple for a person

“As a former senior associate dean in the Whitman School, Professor Raj is a seasoned leader whose strong institutional knowledge, commitment to shared governance and excellence in teaching and research make him the ideal person to lead the Whitman School in the interim,” Wheatly said in the release. “I am grateful to Professor Raj for stepping into this very important leadership position, and look forward to working with him in his new role.”

Raj, who joined SU in 1978 with expertise in marketing strategy, said he is happy to take over the position.

Tauro’s lawyer, Jim Fleckenstein, who was not immediately available for comment on this story, told Syracuse.com that Gait threw a pass during the practice that hit Tauro in the head, giving her a concussion. She still suffers from the concussion three years later, Fleckenstein told Syracuse.com Tauro is suing for monetary damages of an undisclosed but “fair and reasonable amount,” according to the lawsuit.

Sarah Scalese, SU’s associate vice president of public affairs, declined comment in an email, citing university policy against commenting on pending litigation.

with a disability to get around.

“It not only meets the needs, it exceeds it,” Drumm said. “… If you’ve got a disability, this is going to feel like your home.”

It will not be a “behemoth” of a building, Novack said. Instead, the NVRC will be smaller than a lot of the surrounding buildings, including the School of Education.

The NVRC will be located at the corner of Waverly and South Crouse avenues.

The NVRC is an integration effort, Drumm said. It is a university asset and a university building that is not just dedicated to veterans but also the traditional university demographic, Drumm said. He hopes it will welcome in students who may be unfamiliar with the veteran community because, he said, there is value and learning opportunities coming from both sides.

“When you meld those two things together, I think it makes a much stronger university,” Drumm said. “One university.”

The NVRC building will be a public space.

Floors zero, one and two will be public access while floors three and four will be mostly office space, Novack said.

Drumm and Novack see the complex as a way to give back. They envision public figures using the complex space for their own projects, whether it be the auditorium for when a speaker comes in or a veteran artist looking to showcase their work.

They also said the NVRC will serve as a way to give back to support the local economy. The complex will directly create jobs, the programs housed within it will spark entrepreneurial startups and the hard-dollar impact will be felt when conventions or other events are held and people put their money into expenses including hotels, flights and dining, they said.

“When you come home, you’ve got a place here,” Drumm said. sfern100@syr.edu

remembrance Returning Tuesday to Remembrance Week is “Celebration of Life,” an eclectic performance including poetry, music and other arts exploring the tragedy. Wednesday will include a return screening of “My Brother’s Bomber,” a three-part documentary by Ken Dornstein, whose brother was killed in the attack.

Throughout the week, 35 chairs will be set up on the Quad, each representing where the SU students killed in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing were sitting on the airplane.

Tied to each chair will be a white balloon shaped like a dove. Card-making to thank first responders will be set up in Schine.

Remembrance Week will end with a rose laying ceremony, a remembrance convocation and the release of the dove-shaped balloons.

Remembrance Week is organized primarily by the 35 senior Remembrance Scholars — one for each student lost in the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing — who are given $5,000

Trump accused Clinton of giving amnesty to undocumented citizens, which he described as “a disaster.”

“We have some bad hombres here and we’re gonna get them out,” Trump said.

Clinton fought back Trump’s remarks, saying she will deport individuals who need to be deported and strengthen the border. At the same time, she said she does not want to “rip families apart” and accused Trump of

scholarships for their final year.

The Lockerbie Scholars are two students from Lockerbie, Scotland who study at SU for a full year. All scholars are involved in Remembrance Week and are guided by faculty, said Vanessa St. Oegger-Menn, a Pan Am Flight 103 archivist and one of the program organizers.

The Remembrance Scholars organize the week’s daily principles, as well as the ideals of Remembrance Week, around a philosophy of “look back, act forward.”

One goal of the Remembrance Scholarships is for those involved to form a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the complexities and effects of terrorism and to educate both themselves and the people around them, St. Oegger-Menn said.

“Getting to see how history can be used to teach us something, and how it can be done so well by such an incredible group of young people … is really inspiring,” St. Oegger-Menn said. “It’s one of the best parts of my job, and one of the best parts of what we do at Syracuse.” blmcalli@syr.edu

hen Suzanne McAuliffe reflects on the role Syracuse Stage played in raising her children, she recalls one holiday season when she and her husband took their two kids to see Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”

McAuliffe remembers with a chuckle that when the ghost of Jacob Marley appeared in Ebenezer Scrooge’s bedroom, her 6-year-old son Will grabbed her hand, pulled her out of the theater and said, “You ruined my life.”

Will went on to play Jean Valjean in a high school production of “Les Miserables.”

Syracuse Stage welcomes new artistic director

McAuliffe, who now sits on the board for Syracuse Stage, has been devoted to the Stage since it opened in 1974, when she and her husband, Kevin, received a pair of season tickets from Kevin’s father for their first wedding anniversary. The couple have held season tickets to the Stage ever since.

“I’ve always been drawn to stories,” McAuliffe said. “Theater is as close to stories as you can get.”

Syracuse Stage was born in 1974 when Arthur Storch was invited to not only chair Syracuse University’s Department of Drama, but also to spearhead the city’s first professional theater company. Prior to his SU career, Storch directed and performed in Broadway shows, and also found time to work on films and TV shows.

“He really shaped the drama department into the kind of program that it is today,” said Joseph Whelan, director of marketing and communications at the Stage. “He set the foundation for that.”

That foundation has also been set for the Stage, which was founded see syracuse

ike many people working in the theater industry, Bob Hupp started out as a performer. But unlike many people working in the theater industry, he started out as a tap-dancing bumble bee.

He performed in his first play in third grade, though he said it “wasn’t really” a play. He remembers going up to his teacher and asking to be in the play.

“I guess I’d been kind of performing my whole life,” Hupp said. “But I don’t know that I ever allowed myself the freedom to think that it was something I could do for a living.”

Hupp is now three months into his new role as the artistic director of Syracuse Stage, the fifth person to hold the position in the theater’s

43-year history. The Stage has just started its 2016-17 season with the opening of “Great Expectations” Wednesday night.

Before Syracuse, Hupp served as the producing artistic director at the Arkansas Repertory Theater in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he led the theater’s artistic and managerial direction for 17 years.

“I loved my time in Arkansas. I loved working with the people, I loved being there, my kids grew up there,” Hupp said. “But as an artistic director, I felt like it was time for a change and time to challenge myself in new ways.”

One of the biggest factors in Hupp’s decision to leave Arkansas involved Syracuse Stage’s relationship with the university’s drama department, a relationship he called “unusual and unique” and see hupp page 16

Empow(her) honors women through a cappella music

By Adelaide Zoller staff writer

If you have walked past Crouse College recently, you may have heard Beyoncé’s feminist ballad “Pretty Hurts” emerging from the third floor. This has been the norm the past two months for the two all-female a cappella groups on campus, Main Squeeze and The Mandarins.

The combined group of 28 singers has been practicing between seven and eight hours a week since the beginning of the semester in preparation for Empow(her), a collaborative musical celebration of female empowerment, self-love and body positivity. The stage is set for 8 p.m. Friday in Schine Underground.

The concert was put together in conjunction with other female-run student organizations and campaigns including SASSE, The Girl Code Movement and the It’s On Us campaign, to promote their work and the services they provide on campus. In addition to the a cappella performances, there will be poetry and other presentations by the groups, covering various topics regarding the women’s lives.

“In developing the concept for this concert, we realized that there are so many groups and individuals on this campus who share similar passions for empowering others and helping one another other gain confidence and self-love,” said Katie Conti, a member of the Mandarins.

Members of the groups said they are thrilled to build on the momentum of other

movements that have been happening on campus and want to encourage more people to have their voices be heard.

The idea of a women’s empowerment concert developed between the president of the Mandarins, Shannon Bradley, and the president of Main Squeeze, Bryana Greer.

As leaders of all-female groups, both women said they felt a personal responsibility to utilize their platforms to promote conversations about being a woman in today’s society, as well as help other female-led organizations expand their reach.

Since that conversation between Bradley and Greer, the groups have been rehearsing on their own and together throughout the semester to prepare for Empow(her).

Their girl power-filled setlist was curated by members to reflect their feelings as women in the world on a daily basis. It will feature songs by Sara Bareilles and Little Mix that resonated with the members, and they hope women on campus will identify with as well.

Bradley said that when the groups cover songs by strong female icons, like Beyoncé, or sing about exceeding societal expectations, the members connect better and pour more emotion into the performances.

“We always walk out prouder than ever because of the message, no matter how the performance goes,” Bradley said. “Our goal is to leave everyone feeling empowered, strong and good about themselves.” arzoller@syr.edu

13th annual syracuse international film festival to screen films from

NEAR AND FAR

By Divya Murthy staff writer

F

ilmmakers of countries far and near are flocking to Syracuse for the 13th Annual Syracuse International Film Festival.

Over 40 films, 19 countries and 22 special guests, including a two-time Academy Award winner, are coming together to present a plethora of movies from around the globe. This year’s festival theme is “Music in Film,” and features films with a combination of music and cinema.

Owen Shapiro, coordinator of the film program at VPA and co-founder of the festival has been making movies since 1970.

He was touring U.S. film festivals with his wife when she suggested that something similar could be successful in Syracuse.

“These festivals contributed so much to the community they were held in,” Shapiro said. “They created a lot of excitement, and allowed people to see films they otherwise wouldn’t see at their mall cinemas.”

Both Shapiro and his wife noted the economic and cultural impact these festivals had, and in 2004, they staged the first Syracuse International Film Festival.

“We thought we’d do it just once and see what a festival could do for Syracuse,” said Shapiro. “The success of the festival led to a second one, a third one, and now we’re at the thirteenth.”

The festival runs through Sunday, and will show films in theaters around Syracuse, including the Palace Theater, Oncenter Carrier Theater, Manlius Art Cinema, the Film Hub in Dewitt, LeMoyne College and the Shemin and Shaffer auditoriums on the Syracuse University campus.

It’s a really good way to show our projects. Every film festival is always a great moment to go and watch movies that you usually cannot see in a normal theater.

Donato Rossi third-year graduate student

Filmmakers will be present during their screenings and for follow-up question and answer sessions with the audience.

On Sunday, the festival will close its curtains with a film named “Jazz on a Summer’s Day,” a famous film about jazz released in 1960. Jazz students from Syracuse University and local public high schools will be performing a live master class on stage before the showing.

Shapiro said the event used to take place in the springtime, but they moved it to the fall after realizing many students couldn’t go due to finals. Student attendance is vital to

the festival’s success.

Nancy Keefe Rhodes, an adjunct professor in Transmedia at the College of Visual and Performing Arts can attest to that success: “It’s committed to not just being a once-a-year, blowout event,” she said.

Rhodes has observed a magnetic effect the festival has: the many filmma kers

who come tend to come back. They enjoy meeting and engaging with the different films, and a creative space to meet other filmmakers in an enriching process that they don’t often see in other festivals.

“We’re in the midst of a festival that brings us great riches,” Rhodes said.

The festival was initially designed as a competition, but over the years, they met so many new filmmakers that they had neither the space nor the time to accommodate all the films. After nine years of being competitive, the film festival turned into invitation-only.

The event provides a way to not only foster relationships between established filmmakers, but also to connect them to budding filmmakers and students.

Over the years, many Syracuse students have reaped the benefits of the festival by showcasing their own work. Donato Rossi, a third-year graduate student from Italy, is one of them. His short film “The Day I Began to Love Myself” will show at this festival, among four others he has worked on.

“It’s a really good way to show our projects,” Rossi said.

“Every film festival is always a great moment to go and watch movies that you usually cannot see in a normal theater.”

Connections formed at the Syracuse International Film Festival can go a long way, said Munjal Himanshu Yagnik, third-year student in the film program. Yagnik also did his undergraduate studies in the film program, and volunteered for the festival throughout his four years.

He said the festival offers lots of opportunities for young, undergraduate film students to get involved. He believes it’s in the DNA of the Syracuse community to be so receptive of art and the film festival.

“You end up meeting a lot of filmmakers, and as a result, you end up forming a lot of connections,” Yagnik said.

Yagnik’s short “Caught Between Colours” was nominated for Best Short Film at the 2009 festival.

Shapiro hopes students and filmmakers alike can form a deeper connection with art and films at the Syracuse International Film Festival.

“Every film you show has a cultural, political, social, psychological reading that you can do on it,” Shapiro said. “There isn’t any area of human or experience that can’t be attached to a reading of any film.” dmurthy@syr.edu

unlike the one that ‘The Rep’ had with its neighboring universities.

He said he admired how students can learn from professionals and how the theater benefits from having the support of a large institution like SU. “Students keep you honest because they ask tough, insightful questions. They are here to work and learn, and it shows in the optimism and energy that pervades in this building,” he said. “… The students that are set to be here and attend here are special young artists, and experiencing their passion really energizes me.”

As an aspiring performer, Hupp attended Dickinson College in Pennsylvania and joined the National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York after graduation, touring the country for a year. He then went on to work for Jean Cocteau Repertory before moving up the ranks and becoming its artistic director in 1989.

In 1999, Hupp became the second person to lead the Repertory Theater, where he stayed for 16 seasons.

“This is the first time I’ve been in a new position in 17 years,” Hupp said. “It’s been a whirlwind of getting to know people, but my wife and I knew almost immediately that we had made the right move.”

He moved to Syracuse in July and has already made a home in a downtown Syracuse apartment, living there with his wife,

to things like the crazy schedule,” said Clea, who still teaches online at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. “He didn’t really have to explain that to me because I know what it’s all about.”

Hupp’s office at the Syracuse Stage showcases many of his achievements: framed posters and magazine covers of iconic shows such as “Ragtime,” “Avenue Q” and “Hamlet” line his office walls — some of the productions he’s been involved in over the years.

“Bob has very much of an open door policy,” said Kyle Bass, the associate artistic director of Syracuse Stage. “That’s been really exciting to be around since he’s bring-

to central New York. But the Stage is different from many other professional theaters around the United States because of its close, symbiotic relationship with SU’s drama department — a relationship that’s defined the Stage since its beginning with Storch.

“It really is an incredibly vibrant place to be because you have so many people from early career students to seasoned Broadway veterans, here working together, working

ing new eyes to the organization.

Though Bass is the newly appointed associate artistic director, he has helped a number of positions at the Syracuse Stage and has worked with almost all of the artistic directors that have come and gone throughout the years. For Bass, what makes Hupp different is that he is making that transition from being a visitor to being a citizen of the city.

“He very much likes what he sees and hears, and he’s responding to his own pleasant discoveries about Syracuse by making sure Syracuse Stage is part of what he sees as a vibrant city,” he said.

Like Hupp, Bass is just one of the people stepping into a new position at Syracuse Stage. Hupp said this is one of the biggest challenges of stepping in as the theater’s artistic director — in Syracuse Stage’s history, there has never been such a large turnover of leadership and management.

Besides Bass and Hupp, there are also new members of the Board of Trustees under recently appointed president, Bea Gonzalez. Among the members is also Michael Tick, dean of the College of Visual and Performing Arts, who also started around the same time as Hupp.

Then there’s Jill Anderson, the new managing director of Syracuse Stage.

Like Hupp, Anderson was picked by a search committee and moved to Syracuse in July for her new position. She calls the situation an “arranged marriage,” as she and Hupp have never worked with each other before coming to Syracuse Stage.

“We also complement each other very well, I think. I don’t think of myself as a revolutionary artist, idea generator-type — that’s him,” Anderson said. “I’m more like if you have a great idea, I will stay up morning, noon and night to find out how to make it happen.”

Coincidentally, she added, both of them chose to live in downtown Syracuse just blocks away from each other. For Anderson, it speaks to the appeal that the community has not only to Hupp, but to newcomers in general.

“Bob is not some mysterious artist trapped in his office,” Anderson said. “He’s out among the students, among the faculty, in the community. It’s all a part of who he is and how he approaches art.

For Hupp, this is what artistic leadership is about: bringing the creative voice of theater out of the building and among the streets of Syracuse. He wants to “listen” to the community and figure out its challenges.

What are its hopes, ambitions and dreams — and how can theater reflect that? How can he, as the artistic leader of Syracuse stage, show the greater community the beauty and significance of theater?

“The passion I have for language and words and the storytelling that erupts from those words is the core of what attracts me as a theater artist and director. It’s when you get to live in those worlds and in those words, and see an audience being transported to a time way back when,” Hupp said. “That’s where the real art of our profession is.” clramire@syr.edu | @clareramirez_

in the same building, interacting with each other all the time,” said Robert “Bob” Hupp, the Stage’s artistic director.

Bea Gonzalez, the dean of SU’s University College, was recently appointed as the president of the Board of Trustees. She said the relationship between SU Drama and the Stage is fundamental.

“The success of one contributes to the success of the other,” she said in an email.

During the day and well into the night and wee hours of the morning, students dot

Kyle Bass, associate artistic director at the Stage, is currently working with one of his former students on a more informal, internship-like project. The student is interested in the artistic side of professional theater production, and comes to Bass’s office three times a week to work on various projects that will help her gain experience in the industry.

“It’s really nice when it can be both very formalized and also an informal kind of opportunity that they can take advantage of,” Bass said.

The professional crew at the Stage and SU drama students collaborate each year on the holiday production, which this year will be “Mary Poppins.” Student actors often make up the bulk of supporting ensemble roles, but depending on the parts available and the age and gender specifications for parts, students may score a more central role in production.

The holiday production is one of the most visible manifestations of the relationship between the Stage and SU’s drama department, a relationship Hupp — the Stage’s artistic director — qualifies as the Stage’s most important and defining characteristic.

But the holiday production itself also reflects a crucial facet of the Stage: family.

One of the Stage’s biggest goals for “Mary Poppins” this winter is to bring as many families out to see the show as possible, making the Stage a part of families’ holiday celebrations. Hupp and Bass, the associate artistic director, typically choose holiday shows that are likely to attract a family audience, but plenty of families make it to the show regardless.

McAuliffe, who brought her children to see “A Christmas Carol” at the Stage in its early years, said shows like “Mary Poppins” expose a whole new generation to real-life storytelling as opposed to on-screen and on-air storytelling.

McAuliffe said she loved seeing her children react and become emotionally invested in the shows. She said watching plays and musicals as a child is an incredibly important experience.

Drama students take many of their core classes at the Stage. While at the Stage, they have access to every facility the Stage can offer them. Stage staff members also teach classes, and students can work alongside and even shadow the professionals. Some students take work study or more formalized internships at the Stage.

What Babers, Addazio said on the ACC teleconference

By Tomer Langer and Chris Libonati the daily orange

Syracuse (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) will travel to Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, on Saturday when it takes on Boston College (3-3, 0-3) at 12:30 p.m. Here are three things both coaches said ahead of the matchup.

The win over Virginia Tech could potentially be program changing After beating a ranked opponent for the first time in four years, there’s been a real buzz with SU football. Babers had a postgame locker room speech go viral and appeared on “SportsCenter.”.

“Anytime you take over a new program, there’s gonna always be that game that everyone goes back to that turns the program,” Babers said. “And hopefully, three, four, five years down the road, people will point back to this game.”

In his previous two coaching stops (Eastern Illinois and Bowling Green) Babers didn’t stay for more than two years, leaving for better head coaching opportunities.

Addazio wishes Pittsburgh was in the Atlantic Division Syracuse-Boston College has been branded as a rivalry game since the Orange moved from

the Big East to the ACC. The two teams had played each other in the last game of the regular season since Syracuse joined the league, but this season, they will square up in a game that could determine whether one gets into a bowl game.

The first two matchups between Boston College and Syracuse determined both teams’ bowl eligibility. In the 2013 matchup, Syracuse got its sixth win by beating BC, 34-31. In 2014, BC got its sixth win by beating SU, 28-7.

Addazio said he’d like to see Pittsburgh, who is currently in the Coastal Division move over into the Atlantic Division to increase the number of rivalry games. SU will get its crack at the Panthers in its last game of the regular season on Nov. 26.

“I wish Pitt was on this side. I was at Syracuse at the time and those are all big games,” Addazio said. “Syracuse, BC, Pittsburgh, they were all big contests. I think those are great within the conference when you have some geographic proximity and some history.”

Both coaches have differing opinions about the weather The forecast for SU’s matchup with BC is a high of 55 degrees, a 60 percent chance of rain and 20 MPH winds. When SU played at Wake Forest it got a heavy dose of rain and wind from

Hurricane Matthew, which had touched land on the eastern coast of the state.

SU’s offense struggled in that matchup, scoring only seven points and Eric Dungey was sacked a season-high five times in a 28-9 loss in what was a close game until midway through the final quarter.

“I think those conditions were different. I’ve been in rain games before, I’ve been in wind games before. That was a hurricane,” Babers

said chuckling. “Now, we were on the outskirts of it but the wind and the rain were unusual.

Addazio stressed the Orange’s ability in the vertical passing game, and said he hopes it rains when the two teams meet Saturday.

“I wouldn’t mind a little rain and wind coming in here, but I don’t control that,” Addazio said. “So that’s a little out of my reach.

“If I could, I’d call it in.” tdlange@syr.edu | cjlibona@syr.edu

Weers, Lagerweij turn old rivalry into production on field

By Josh Schafer staff writer

Lies Lagerweij and Roos Weers have not always been best friends. Before coming to SU, the two roommates battled head-to-head in club tournaments in the Netherlands. up next With Lagerweij at forward and Weers AT Boston University at New Balance Field playing back, the Sunday, 1 p.m. now-tea mmates competed directly against each other.

“She was very skillful,” Weers said. “But she was always kind of lazy and my coaches would say, ‘just keep her in front of you and once you get past her don’t worry about her anymore.”

Both Weers and Lagerweij have progressed since their days in the Netherlands.

The Dutch players left their rivalry overseas

and learned to utilize each other’s skill sets.

The two backs lead No. 3 Syracuse (12-2, 4-2 Atlantic Coast) in points. Lagerweij holds the top spot with 23 points coming on 11 goals and one assist, while Weers trails by just a point boasting eight goals and six assists on the season. The Orange travels to No. 13 Boston University for a game on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Weers and Lagerweij use honesty to support each other on the back line. When Lagerweij doesn’t play to her abilities Weers lets her know it. Lagerweij also returns the favor.

As often as they feed off each other when playing well, they also step up at different moments.

In Weers’s two best games of the year, she carried Syracuse with four points against Duke and Cornell while Lagerweij failed to score a point.

Against Bucknell, Weers failed to record a point while Lagerweij tallied five.

“You know I got you, it’s fine,” Lagerweij said to a struggling Weers against then-No. 11 Wake

Forest. A simple gesture, but one that kept Weers focused while her teammate stepped up.

Lagerweij scored the fourth and final goal of the game to seal the 4-2 victory for the Orange.

“We keep each other sharp in practice when one of us isn’t playing well,” said Lagerweij. “… We are really hard on each other I think and very honest with each other.”

The two backs have learned to rely on each other in key situations. Weers is a more power defender. She lacks the close stick handling ability of Lagerweij, forcing her to rely on strength to clear the ball.

With one stroke of the stick, Weers can launch a ball soaring through the air 70 yards downfield. Lagerweij prefers to dangle through defenders sometimes maneuvering through two or three before finding open space. “(Lies) is one of the most skillful players in the country. I am not the skillful in the small area,” Weers said. “So when there’s full pres-

sure I just give her the ball and she will come out of there.”

After starting all but one game together over the last two seasons, Lagerweij and Weers have devolved a deep bond. When faced with adversity, the two frequently find each other as a bail out to avoid trouble.

A quick glance was all it took for Lagerweij to know what Weers was thinking in a 4-3 victory over Bucknell on Oct. 2. As the field shifted to one side, Lagerweij and Weers locked eyes. Without any form of communication, Lagerweij shifted against the flow of defense, finding herself wide open for a rocket from Weers. The ball snuck in between defenders and landed on Lagerweij’s stick, who put the finishing touches on what would turn out to be the game winning goal.

“She’s really good at deceiving passes,” Lagerweij said. “But I just always know where she’s gonna go or where she’s looking to play.” jlschafe@syr.edu

ice hockey

Orange works to limit high penalty minutes, stay physical

By Andrew Graham staff writer

In 245 minutes of hockey this season, Syracuse and its opponents have racked up 128 minutes of penalties — making up up next more than half of the total ice time.

VS Colgate at Tennity Ice Pavilion Seventy of those Friday, 7 p.m. minutes were charged to the Orange, equating to more than 37 minutes playing a player down.

“It’s kind of the nit picky,” Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan. “Maybe you had your stick there and the girl fell down.”

Emily Costales and Dakota Derrer each have four penalties for eight minutes total while five other players have two or three penalties, respectively.

Syracuse (0-3-1) will have to limit penalties while not sacrificing physical play this weekend in a home-and-home series with No. 5 Colgate (4-0). The Orange hopes to stifle its penalties by keeping its feet moving, using good positioning and what Flanagan calls “stick management.”

“If you come up and clip someone, just nick them, it’s a high stick,” Flanagan said. “Manage the stick, stay away from the trips, the hooks and the high sticks so we’ll work on that.”

It has not necessarily been overly physical play or rough play causing the excess penalties for the Orange, but more close calls, according to Flanagan.

Stick management involves keeping the stick below the waist and away from danger areas like opponents hands and ankles.

Though SU has done well on the penalty kill — allowing two goals on 28 attempts for a dauntingly efficient 7.1 percent opponent conversion rate — playing with less than

five players for almost a third of every game disrupts offensive flow.

Flanagan still wants his team to be physical through the penalties, however.

“Take the puck, then the body,” several players mentioned along with being smart along the boards when battling for a loose puck. “(Flanagan’s) not really concerned with the physicality as long as we’re going for the right thing,” Costales said. “We’re purposely trying to take the puck away, not purposely trying to hit the player. So he just pretty much preaches body and puck.”

Players were in consensus that most of SU’s penalties have come when players were being lazy and not moving their feet, causing players to be out of position.

According to Flanagan, positioning is key and when players get caught, often behind a player, is when the stick comes up on the hands of an opponent and a penalty is called. Players echoed

his comments, constantly bring up positioning as a big key to eliminating the nitpicky calls.

“We’ve got to keep winning our battles,” Derrer said, “just have to keep moving our feet so we stay away from those penalties like tripping and hooking. … He just wants us to be all over them so they have no time and space.”

In Syracuse’s first game of the season, fans yelled “swallow your whistle, a**hole,” and other angry phrases at the referees. But the Orange didn’t blame the calls on the officials.

The players said the onus is on them to police themselves.

“I feel like a lot of the reffing was kind of off too, not to blame it all on there. We’re mostly been working on a lot of physical stuff,” Costales said. “We just want to keep being physical, keep playing the puck, keep playing the body because that’s the way we play the game so we don’t want to let down from that.”

Alana O’Neill leads SU in goals despite playing defense

By Matt Liberman staff writer

Susan O’Neill followed her daughter’s game live on Twitter. The streaming site she normally used to watch Alana’s away games wasn’t covering the game, and she was conup next stantly refreshAT Wake Forest ing the page to at Spry Stadium see what was Thursday, 7 p.m. happening against Boston College.

Midway through her freshman season in 2014, O’Neill scored the first two goals of her career in that game.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Susan O’Neill said.

“I was just so happy for her.”

Two years later as a junior, she once again scored two goals against Delaware on Aug. 21.

Even as an outside defender, she continues to play a critical offensive role for Syracuse (8-53, 1-4-2 Atlantic Coast) with a team-high four goals in her 2016 campaign, which will visit Wake Forest (9-6, 1-6) on Thursday at 7 p.m.

But O’Neill has not always played right back. She has played almost every position for head coach Phil Wheddon, spending time at center back, forward, in the midfield, and now on the outside of the back line.

“Alana is a coach’s luxury,” Wheddon said. “She can play a bunch of different positions and she is willing to play a bunch of different positions.

women’s Brianna Butler?

Brianna Butler led the Orange with 129 made 3-pointers last season, converting on 31.1 percent, and holds the SU program record with 373 career 3s. Orange head coach Quentin Hillsman molded the guard into a player with a shoot-first mentality and called her the best shooter in the country at times.

Without Butler, the Orange will have to rely

black Black only started playing football because he felt internally pressured to because his family members played, including his brother and father. There was never any pressure from either of them, Black said.

It was more just his thoughts.

“I never told them I didn’t want to play sports growing up, I didn’t really have the heart to,” Black said. “I always played sports but I never really liked them until I did them in high school. … I just feel like I didn’t have any motivation until my brother told me all that stuff.”

Ben, Black’s brother, is older by four years and is currently a defensive line coach at Robert Morris University Illinois after playing on the line the last four years. The two always had a good relationship but it was never that special a bond until a few years ago.

Black was enjoying football more, but his total commitment wasn’t there. Ben noticed and let his younger brother know, stressing to Black that he wasn’t going to make it far in football without changing his habits.

“I remember going home after workouts, going to the shower, just thinking about that,” Black said. “This is real, I’m trying to go somewhere now. My older brother just told me you’re not going to go anywhere.”

Black slowly developed into one of the

ALANA O’NEILL has played multiple positions during her time at SU and has found success as a defensive wing this year.

Coming into her freshman year, she made the transition from playing forward for her club and high school teams to playing center back in arguably the strongest conference in the country.

The position was foreign to her, O’Neill said. She never understood the tactical awareness that went into playing the position. It was the hardest adjustment that she has ever had to make in soccer.

“I had no clue what being a center back at the ACC level entailed,” O’Neill said. “Come ACC play I realized this was a lot harder than I thought it would be.”

Coming off two years of playing center

back, O’Neill is just happy to be away from that position. Unlike at center back, playing on the outside, she gets attacking opportunities. There are times when she has to bring the ball up the field and generate offense.

During the nonconference schedule, she played a mix of back line and on the wings.

Against Buffalo on Sept. 15, O’Neill was at the base of the Syracuse offense. She put a header on frame coming off a Maddie Iozzi corner and nearly assisted on a Stephanie Skilton goal while threatening in the box. But in the 89th minute, when Buffalo was mounting an equalizing attack, a Jessica Vigna clear-

heavily on senior guards Peterson and Sykes to pick up where Butler left off from behind the arc. One of these two will likely be competing in Friday’s 3-point contest, which will serve as the fans’ first opportunity to see if SU can rely on the deep ball as heavily this season as it did last.

If they decide to choreograph another dance this year, expect it to be one of the most entertaining parts of the night from both sides.

Last year, the team danced to an array of songs including “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)”, “Crank That” and “Hit the Quan,” and the crowd danced and sang along. It was a sharp juxtaposition to Christian rapper NF’s performance at Orange Madness, during which almost no fans sang or danced along.

Let’s dance At last year’s Orange Madness, the SU players gathered at midcourt after their 10-minute scrimmage and entertained the crowd with a choreographed dance.

best offensive linemen in his district. When college recruiters came around his junior year, though, they saw a future defensive end. With the encouragement of his head coach James Morrow, Black played defense for the first time in his life during his senior year at Harlem (Chicago) High School.

He began attending recruiting camps the summer before his senior year to pick up skills. Black would have morning practices with his team, come back home, then work with Ben one-on-one.

Playing a foreign position, Black had to relearn everything. Footwork, hand placement, and getting off the line quickly were all things he tried to work on before his senior year.

“He was very, very raw technically, from a D-line technique-wise,” Ben said. “He just made up for it with his strength, his drive, and just him being relentless.”

One of the biggest plays Morrow remembers Black making as a defender was actually on a punt. As Black remembers it, his team was down and he lined up on the left side, split through a two-man shield and got his hand in front of the ball to block it.

Harlem scored the next play and went on to win the game.

Black wouldn’t be able to rely on his speed and strength coming into the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Over the summer he kept developing his techniques, this time with the SU coaching

ance left O’Neill wide open for a breakaway.

She sped past the Buffalo defense and sent a lofted ball over the outstretched hands of the Buffalo goalkeeper to end the game, 2-0.

“She’s a tremendous athlete and dangerous when she goes forward,” Wheddon said.

“But in today’s game the outside back is an attacking position.”

The level of ACC play, though, requires her to be in the back, Wheddon said. Syracuse needs her athleticism and ability as a one-on-one defender to play on the back line if it wants to be successful.

It’s a position that highlights all her attributes — athletic, strong individual defender, long throw-in ability and a dangerous attacker — Wheddon said.

“The position was tailor-made for her,” Wheddon said.

Wheddon believes that if she continues playing beyond her collegiate career it will be as an outside back. Even though in conference play she has not had the opportunity to move up on offense, and must remain on defense, she still leads the team in scoring.

Despite being tied for sixth on the team with only 13 shots, O’Neill has netted four goals, and been the most efficient scorer of any Syracuse player with at least five shots.

In games when Syracuse is in need for a goal, its first adjustment is moving O’Neill up the field.

“I was naturally a forward,” O’Neill said, “So anytime I play up top it feels more like home.” mdliberm@syr.edu

staff. Sometimes, the staff would gloss over fundamentals while working with the defensive line, assuming everyone knew them. Black had to consistently ask what he should be doing.

“I felt like the coaches didn’t trust me.

I didn’t trust myself,” Black said. “If I was coach and I was going to put myself in that position, I wouldn’t trust myself either.”

But after getting on the field at the USF game, things started to click for Black. His containment on the edge against Notre Dame helped limit quarterback DeShone Kizer to just 1 rushing yard.

There are still things to work on. Black wants to improve on his pass-rushing skill because he feels like his long arms could give him an advantage. Head coach Dino Babers likes his motor but thinks that Black needs to be stronger.

Black kicks himself for not caring about sports as much earlier because he thinks he’d be better. But he’s still a starting defensive end for a Power 5 school as a freshman. “… I feel like everything happens for a reason, and everything fell into place,” Black said. tdlanger@syr.edu | @tomer_langer

on the Carrier Dome floor Friday night is likely to be Syracuse’s newly eligible 7-foot-2 center.

Chukwu transferred from Providence last year but redshirted due to NCAA transfer rules.

He spent the year practicing, polishing himself into the rim protector SU believes he can be. Chukwu’s expected to contribute in Syracuse’s 2-3 zone by now, and Friday offers him the chance to show the fans, if nothing else, he can defend from the interior of Jim Boeheim’s system.

It’s a problem the Orange faced at times last year. A problem that one of the tallest players in program history should be able to help alleviate, not to mention Dajuan Coleman is still returning as the expected starting center.

Chukwu’s still got five inches on him, though.

Finding the next big 3-point weapon Entering this season, SU is without its only three players that attempted more than 200 3s last year. Trevor Cooney made a career out of shooting from 3-point land, cementing that reputation with a teamleading 260 shots behind the arc last season.

He’s now gone, along with Malachi Richardson and Michael Gbinije, who rounded out the Orange’s top trio of 3-point shooters.

There’s intrigue surrounding the 3-point competition. Tyler Lydon is easily the team’s best remaining 3-point option from last season. He actually led Syracuse with a 40.5 shooting percentage behind the arc. Senior transfers Andrew White and John Gillon are likely to give Lydon the most competition.

White converted 41 percent of his 211 3-point attempts at Nebraska last season. At Colorado State last year, Gillon converted 33 percent of his 180 shots behind the arc. Those numbers might not hold up in SU’s offense this

season, but it’ll suffice for Friday’s contest.

Meet the freshmen Similar to last year’s introduction of Lydon, Richardson and Frank Howard, Syracuse is rolling out three more highly-touted first-year players. The public will get its first look at Tyus Battle, Taurean Thompson and Matthew Moyer.

Battle is the likeliest of the trio to get significant minutes this season. He’s a 6-foot-6 guard, and Boeheim has already compared his ability to that of Richardson, who passed up three years of remaining eligibility to begin his NBA career. Thompson and Moyer are likely to play less of a role this year, but that doesn’t matter come Friday’s exhibition.

They’ll all be out there, playing their first game in front of fans in the Carrier Dome. cgrossma@syr.edu

Black emerges at DE as freshman

By Tomer Langer asst. copy editor

When Kayton Samuels went down with an injury early in the third game of the season against South Florida, up next J o s h Black VS Boston College w a s at Alumni Stadium Saturday, 12:30 p.m. where he had been all season up to that point — waiting on the sidelines.

The freshman had yet to appear in a game. When the injury happened, he was put in a position he was waiting for, but one he wasn’t sure he’d get.

“Coach (Vinson) Reynolds came to the sideline and it was Josh and I standing there next to each other,” said Kendall Coleman, another freshman defensive lineman. “And he said ‘you guys’ — and other words — ‘you guys aren’t freshmen anymore, you guys have to step up and show that you’re supposed to be out here on the field.’”

The two have become the starting defensive ends. Black never envisioned becoming a starting defensive lineman at a Power 5 school his freshman year. He didn’t even enjoy football growing up and didn’t play defense until his senior year of high school. Now, he’s developed in to a key player on SU’s (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast) young defensive line, which takes on Boston College (3-3, 0-3) on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. see
