FINISHING TOUCH Syracuse, Eric Dungey rolled over Boston College, clinching the Orange’s winningest season since 2001

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

More than 600 people have signed a petition supporting the Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment club’s proposal to install a vending machine at Syracuse University which would dispense products meant to promote safe sex.

The vending machines would include products such as tampons, condoms, lubricant and emergency contraceptives. The organization plans to present its idea at a Student Association meeting in December and will apply for SA funding to buy the machine, said freshman Nicole Aramboles, who is the deputy manager for the vending machine project. Once it is funded, she said she believes that the university will allow the machine to be installed on campus.

“It should be a student’s right to have access to (these) products,” she see sasse page 4

Long-term initiatives delayed until 2019

By Gabe Stern staff writer

Several long-term Student Association initiatives to improve issues related to textbook affordability, American Sign Language and the new first-year forum will be implemented at Syracuse University after the 2018-19 academic year.

Ryan Golden, chair of the Academic Affairs Committee and a columnist for The Daily Orange, said the initiatives are not going as quickly as planned because several SU administrators have not responded to his emails. Initiatives to lower textbook costs and make American Sign Language an official language at SU have both been delayed.

The administration’s limited response doesn’t come as a surprise, Golden added. During the 2017-18 academic year, while working on initiatives concerning sexual

ERIC DUNGEY scored six touchdowns on Saturday at Boston College, pushing him to 32 total touchdowns in 2018. Dungey now has the most touchdowns by a Syracuse player in a single season. josh shub-seltzer staff photographer

C

HESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Eric Dungey escaped right outside the pocket. The two chasing Boston College defenders dove and missed at the senior quarterback’s ankles.

After dropping the ball following one of his three rushing touchdowns of the afternoon, he blew a kiss to the BC student section.

Dungey threw for 362 yards and set a single-season program record with his 32nd total touchdown. In No. 20 Syracuse’s (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast) 42-21 win over Boston College (7-5, 4-4) at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, the Orange’s senior quarterback was responsible for every touchdown. In past years this would’ve never happened.

It couldn’t have. In Dungey’s first three seasons under center for the Orange, head injuries and a broken foot prevented him from playing beyond the first week of November and the Orange went 1-11 during those stints. On Saturday, as Syra-

cuse clinched its highest win total since 2001, 2018 continued to be different for the Orange.

“It’s faith,” SU head coach Dino Babers said. “Belief without evidence that this thing’s going to work even though you’ve never heard it before. That’s kind of how this season was.”

In the second quarter, Dungey tossed the ball at a Boston College

defensive lineman’s face after the whistle. The unsportsmanlike penalty forced SU to punt on fourth down. The next series, Dungey barreled over, and injured, a Boston College defensive back during an 18-yard touchdown run. On the first drive of the first half, he threw an interception. Two series later he lobbed a touchdown pass. For the first time in four years, Syracuse finally had what it desperately desired: a quintessential Eric Dungey performance to cap off a winning season.

“When he hot, the whole offense is hot,” wide receiver Taj Harris said. “It’s hard to stop Dungey but I mean when he gets it going and he’s warmed up, fired up, we’re right behind him ready to get it chugging.”

As Syracuse, the team picked to finish last in the preseason ACC Media Poll, made its improbable run to 12th in the College Football Playoff, something had to go wrong. see dungey page 10

40-year-old Rite Aid store to close downtown

By Catherine Leffert asst. news editor

On a Friday afternoon, at least a dozen people walked through the doors of the Rite Aid in downtown Syracuse, picking up prescriptions, buying toilet paper or grabbing a bag of chips on their lunch break from work. In one month, they will have to find somewhere else to buy their necessities. On

The Rite Aid at the corner of Salina and Fayette Streets is the only pharmacy in downtown Syracuse.

The pharmacy, which operates in the back of the store, will close on Nov. 26, and the store will stay open for an additional two weeks to sell the remaining products, said Phil Caruso, a Walgreens spokesperson.

Walgreens, which acquired the store in May, is closing the

Rite Aid and moving all the prescriptions to another Walgreensowned Rite Aid at 522 W. Onondaga. St. Caruso said the other store is about one mile away on the city’s Near Westside.

4 stories you may have missed during break

By Mary Catalfamo asst. digital editor

A fight at Destiny USA on Black Friday resulted in two men sustaining non life-threatening stab wounds, and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) advocated for lead removal programs in Syracuse homes. Here are four of the biggest stories that happened over Thanksgiving break.

DPS interviews show students involved in Theta Tau videos apologizing for skit Syracuse.com last Friday published 17 interviews it obtained that were conducted by Department of Public Safety officers. Students involved in the controversial Theta Tau videos apologized to

A Syracuse man, 56, was arrested on the charge of loitering. when: Thursday at 3:25 a.m. where: 600 block of South Geddes Street

DPS officers during the interviews for skits that eventually resulted in the fraternity’s expulsion.

The department investigated 18 students who were present at the event depicted in the videos in April, according to an April email from DPS Chief Bobby Maldonado. Students involved said in the interviews that the skits at the event were written in less than an hour and they were surprised by how offensive it got, according to Syracuse.com.

The videos, obtained by The Daily Orange in April, showed students in the Theta Tau house engaging in behavior that Chancellor Kent Syverud called “extremely racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic, sexist, and hostile to people with disabilities.�

Schumer pushes for more federal funding for lead removal from homes

The New York senator said he’s advocating for more federal funding for lead removal from homes in Syracuse during a visit to Golisano Children’s Hospital on Monday, WAER reported.

Schumer said he secured $85 million in funding for the office of the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes program for 2018. He also said he’s asking HUD to approve a joint $4.1 million application for Onondaga County and the city for lead remediation, per WAER. County officials said at least 675 children were poisoned by lead last year, as reported by WAER.

Syverud calls for SU review of new sexual assault guidelines

Chancellor Kent Syverud asked several Syracuse University groups to review a recent proposal to alter Title IX guidelines in a letter to the SU community released Tuesday.

The changes proposed by the Department of Education would give additional protections to students accused of sexual assault. The new guidelines may allow sexual assault accusers to be cross-examined by the accused’s lawyers, and schools would be required to hold live hearings.

The definition of sexual harassment would also be limited under the new guidelines to only include “unwelcome conduct� that denies equal see news

initiatives assault, he said SU “was not too responsive” to his emails.

He said he is hoping that he will have appointments with administrators by the end of the semester about the implementation of ASL as an official language. SA President Ghufran Salih said a petition is currently circulating around the student body to gauge interest in having ASL fulfill a language requirement. from page 1

sasse said. “Our main goal is to tell, to let it be known this is something that we want and something that we all benefit from.”

Over the summer, SASSE president Crystal Letona, a senior communications and rhetorical studies major, was in contact with students from other schools, such as Brandeis University, where similar machines are currently in place, Aramboles said.

The Brandeis wellness vending machine stocks free Plan B One-Step, an emergency contraceptive, along with other items for purchase in a gender-neutral bathroom on campus, according to The Brandeis Hoot.

The machines are smaller wall units that also display posters of resources for survivors of sexual assault.

The vending machine at Brandeis, and one at University of California-Los Angeles, primarily dispense cheaper options for birth control. At Brandeis, Brandeis Pro-Choice received a $5,000 grant from Planned Parenthood Generation Action in October 2017 to fund the machine. At UCLA, the administration paid for the products.

University of California, Davis has a vending machine that offers different types of condoms, lubricant, pregnancy tests and Advil, among other products.

Aramboles said SASSE presented the vending machine idea to SU administrators, who said they would not fund it. The point of the petition, which is circulating on Change.org, from page 3

Her goal was to make ASL an official language by the beginning of next school year, a timeline she said was “very, very ambitious.”

Reforms to SEM 100, the new first-year forum, are also being discussed in the University Senate. The reforms will go through a less formal process at the Senate level, Golden said. Administrators are looking at feedback that will inform how they change the first-year forum curriculum. Students and peer facilitators for SEM 100 have said it failed to address issues of diversity and inclusion. is to show interest from the university community, she added.

Though vending machines come at various costs, Aramboles said the organization would try to buy a used machine at a lower cost, though the specific budget has not yet been planned out.

“The campus community urges the administration to install a Health & Wellness Vending Machine that vends cheaper alternative Plan B One-Step, in addition to offering free health items such as menstrual products, condoms, and other wellness products,” the petition said.

Some of the products that would be offered in the vending machine at SU are currently already available in buildings on campus. Free menstrual hygiene products are available in several buildings on campus, funded by SA. Products such as condoms, oral dams, lubricants and finger cots are available for free from SU Health Services.

Health Services offers a plan called the Safer Sex Express, which will deliver the contraceptive products to dorms on campus. The petition said that a vending machine allows students anonymity by not having billed health services visits.

The SASSE petition is currently trying to get to 1,000 signatures, and had 646 as of Sunday night.

“Adopting Health & Wellness Vending Machines would enable students, faculty, and staff to take control over their own bodies in a more comfortable and accessible way,” the petition said.

“For SEM 100, we’ve really increased the number of students that are involved in this discussion,” SA Vice President Kyle Rosenblum said.

Golden, who worked as a peer facilitator for the course, said he had criticisms of SEM 100 but he is glad that SU is taking the necessary time to create a permanent replacement for the first-year forum.

Another initiative that SA has helped facilitate is lowering textbook prices at the university. Increased textbook affordability is still an

ongoing process, Golden said.

Rosenblum said other universities have already implemented textbook affordability programs that SA can use as a guide for creating a similar program at SU. The current focus is to help facilitate the transition with SU administrators and the university bookstore, he said.

“That’s a long-running issue that’s going to take a lot of research and a lot of change to the university,” Golden said. gkstern@syr.edu

rite aid facade with brown metal lining. In 2015, it announced that it would restore the original exterior, including a large clock that used to sit above the door. In 2017, Walgreens announced it would buy many Rite Aid locations nationwide.

Caruso said the store would be closing, along with 600 other Rite Aid locations around the nation. In May, Walgreens acquired 1,932 Rite Aid locations, including at least two in Syracuse.

“I’m shocked and in disbelief. Everything in Syracuse is closing,” said Syracuse resident Alexandra Hervey. “They said we’ll have to go to West Onondaga and I guess I don’t have a choice.”

Caruso declined to comment on why the downtown Rite Aid was closing. All employees, including the manager of the Rite Aid, were instructed not to speak to media, but to refer them to

corporate headquarters.

Walgreens previously announced that it would be converting the Rite Aid locations into Walgreens stores. The two are still completely separate brands under different ownership, Caruso said. He didn’t have any details of the conversion of the location downtown, he added.

“We announced about a year ago that we’d be closing some of the locations that we acquired,” Caruso said. “Our goal is to just really make sure we have the right number of locations in the right markets so we can really serve the best customers.”

Caruso added that Walgreens plans to place many of the Rite Aid’s employees in jobs at other area stores.

environment

Bike path won’t affect Syracuse eagles

A

new trail plan around Onondaga Lake has some people worried about the well-being of bald eagles that reside in the area. And, 30 years ago with a polluted lake, and nationally low eagle populations, even having eagles to protect was a fantasy.

Bald eagles have been important to the United States since 1782 when they were declared the national symbol. But by 1963 there was only one pair of nesting eagles left in the entire state of New York.

The tangible impact of environmental consciousness rescued eagles from extinction. By 2014, the number of nesting pairs of bald eagles in America was 5,000, and that number is on an upward trend.

PETER MORRISSEY

MAKE SIMPLE CHANGE The success of the lake cleanup is not unrelated to the growth of the eagle population. In fact, in the Great Lakes bald eagles have historically been used as a bio-indicator of water quality.

The local concern for nature, and the growth of the Syracuse eagle population, is a sign of overall interest in the environment health of central New York.

It’s understandable that there’s worries about the success of local eagles, but the trail plan won’t pose a threat to them.

SUNY-ESF Professor Shannon

Farrell, who has spent time studying the birds with her students, said the area near the trail is already highly developed. Eagles are hunting and foraging near roads with cars on them, so the impact of human foot traffic on a lake trail is unlikely to drastically affect the birds. Her view is shared by eagle expert Tom Wittig.

Like it or not, the trail is expected to be built. While it’s possible the eagles will be negatively impacted, that seems unrealistic.

ifeSafe has been around for years, but not enough students are taking advantage of its services.

Back in October 2015, the Department of Public Safety partnered with LiveSafe, a mobile app that acts as an extension to the university’s Blue Light System.

With the app, users are able to report incidents in real-time, with the option to include images, videos or audio files. In the event that someone is unable to call DPS, LiveSafe gives them the option to text. The app also features a safety map that locates safe destinations in the area, and it has a SafeWalk feature that uses location tracking to show your cell phone’s location at any given time.

Although safety resources such as LiveSafe are readily available on campus, students tend to neglect them. Bobby Maldonado, chief of DPS, said this may be due to a lack of perceived threats on campus. “It’s not only that (DPS) provides a safe environment, but we also provide our community with the perception of a safe environment. There’s a distinction between feeling safe and being safe,� Maldonado said.

“Sometimes people think, ‘I don’t feel unsafe.’�

And that’s the problem. Students don’t intentionally ignore the safety resources in place, but they don’t realize a need for them.

This makes it easier for them to disregard options for safe living, going about without the knowledge of what to do or who to call in an emergency.

Maldonado added that students often interact with safety resources retroactively. They don’t realize how useful an app like LiveSafe would be, until after they encounter a dangerous situation.

Don’t be one of those students.

Light Work Director Jeffrey Hoone celebrates 36th year at SU

By Hattie Lindert staff writer

J

effrey Hoone first discovered his interest in photography in high school, in a small dark room belonging to a friend’s brother. As he watched a white piece of paper fade into a photograph under a negative light, Hoone was hooked. “I thought it was magic,� he said.

Decades later, Hoone still lives in Syracuse. Today, he’s running Light Work, a photography gallery and lab located in the Robert B. Menschel Media Center at Syracuse University, where he’s been the director since 1982.

During his tenure, Hoone has led the gallery to warrant international acclaim and has helped launch the careers of famed photographers like Andres Serrano and Cindy Sherman.

But Hoone’s work goes far beyond just the gallery — some of his greatest influences occur on young, emerging artists. Hoone’s drive to help less visible artists stems from when he was a young photographer attending the San Francisco Art Institute as an undergraduate. During his time there, Hoone founded a nonprofit arts organization called Xpress Art Center. Its inaugural gallery space was Hoone’s own loft-home, where he said he tried to showcase other artists whose work wasn’t being noticed by established institutions. see hoone page 8

Student songwriters to perform in Schine on Thursday

By Izzy Bartling

contributing writer

In adjunct professor Jeffrey Pepper Rodgers’ honors class, “Inside the Words and Music,� students study the art of songwriting and the creative process. Rodgers tasked the class with planning a songwriter showcase that would feature original music performed by Syracuse University students.

For the past 11 years, the SU

Songwriter Showcase has provided musicians with a space to perform in front of a campus audience. This year’s concert will take place on Nov. 29 at 7 p.m. in Schine Underground.

Rodgers uses his own experience as a musician to teach about the creative process of writing songs and hopes to foster an appreciation for the creative work happening on campus.

The class has worked together to plan the showcase since the beginning of the semester. The process

involved conducting a talent search for songwriters on campus, selecting the students to perform at the event and publicizing the show through social media. “We have some fantastic shows with musicians who have a lot of experience in performing and others who have just been writing songs privately and are practically playing their original songs in front of an audience for the first time,� Rodgers said.

This year’s performance will fea-

There will also be three to four sets where select musicians will take the stage and perform alongside each other. “You get to hear a lot of different people,� said Brian Buseck, a sophomore television, radio and film major who has helped organize the event and will perform as well.

hoone “I was really interested in the idea of supporting artists outside the mainstream,” Hoone said.

After Hoone left California to return to Syracuse in 1979, he began to use the Light Work lab — which was established just a few years before — for his own work. Hoone eventually got to know the founders and original co-directors of the organization, Phil Block and Tom Bryan. When Block took a year off in 1980 to study bookbinding in England, Hoone applied for the position of director.

Hoone said his position has felt less like a job and more like a lifestyle he has chosen to adopt.

“Artists are artists because they really have to be,” he said. “There’s something about them that compels them to explore things.”

For the last 36 years, Hoone has been helping artists grow through Light Work’s highly competitive Artist-in-Residence Program. The residency program, which offers recipients a $5,000 stipend to produce work, is incredibly competitive — last year, Hoone said there were more than 900 applicants for 12 available grants.

“It’s more competitive than Harvard,” from page 7

showcase styles ranging from alternative and indiepop to folk and pop-rock. He said the show is stripped down meaning a majority of the artists are playing solo — naturally creating a more intimate atmosphere.

Mollie Edsell, a sophomore forensic science and psychology major, will also be performing at the showcase. She said that the audience can look forward to “a collective experience of appreciating art in its most raw form.”

“Acoustic music does that in such a special way,” Edsell said. “When it’s just the singersongwriter, their guitar and the mic, that’s when you get the most truth out of an artist.”

For the musicians showcasing their work, this raw, vulnerable feeling associated with

said Hoone with a laugh.

Mary Lee Hodgens, the associate director of Light Work, said she believes the lucrative nature of the Artist-in-Residence Program is due in part to the freedom it offers recipients. Artists who are awarded the grant are not required to do anything specific with it other than pursue their personal projects, something that Hodgens describes as “unusual in the art world.”

Artists are artists because they really have to be.

There’s something about them that compels them to explore things.

Jeffrey Hoone light work director

Hodgens joined the Light Work team in 1995 as an administrative assistant. She said she was struck by Hoone’s devotion to the goals he wanted to accomplish at Light Work.

“It’s very easy for an organization like Light performing isn’t something to shy away from.

That vulnerability along with the powerful strum of a guitar can connect musicians to their audience.

“When performing, it feels like you’re explaining yourself more clearly than you ever could have,” said Keegan White, a graduate student in audio arts, and performing two folk-based pieces. “I think of it as a way that I’m able to speak to someone in ways that I couldn’t, and I think that’s a really special part of it.”

Sarah Gross, a freshman majoring in sound recording technology, will perform her songs “The Waves” and “Wait for Me.” She said that the reason people are drawn to music is because “those are real emotions coming out of those people.”

“I think anyone that has performed,

Work to get off track, but he is the person that always brings everybody back to the core mission of supporting emerging and underrecognized artists,” Hodgens said.

Hoone has, for the most part, stopped producing his own photography, focusing instead on his directorial role. He said this is in part because of the difficulty of switching hats — to him, it feels odd to one moment be advocating other artists’ work and the next be advocating his own. Supporting other artists’ careers is what Hoone said has led him to remain at Light Work for nearly forty years.

“You can really make a difference in their lives,” Hoone said. “When you have somebody like an artist tell you that you’ve changed their life, I don’t know if it gets any better than that.”

Doug DuBois, a member of the Photo Faculty at Light Work, said Hoone has been a mentor for him during the 20 years they have known each other. DuBois also teaches as an associate professor of art photography at SU and said Hoone has served as an unofficial advisor for many of DuBois’ students, emerging photographers themselves.

“Light Work is, quite frankly, a critical and unique facet of the photography pro-

gram at VPA,” DuBois said.

During the past 15 years, Hoone has taken on a much larger role within the university.

He now oversees all of the art galleries on campus, as well as the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery in New York City and the Photography and Literacy Project. Though the increased responsibility is added work, Hoone didn’t express any desire to leave Light Work.

“I don’t have a clear picture of it in my head,” he said. “There’s still things I’m doing that I’m enjoying.”

The first time leaving Light Work ever crossed Hoone’s mind, he said, was after the gallery was awarded the New York State Governor’s Art Award in 1989. A large and prestigious grant, the art award was also offered to musician Miles Davis and dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov the same year. After Light Work became a recipient, Hoone said people began to ask him: “What do you plan to do next?”

“The more I thought about it, the more I thought: I have the best job,” Hoone said. “I don’t want anybody else’s job in the art world or the photography world. I want to keep doing this and making it better and better.” hklinder@syr.edu

especially their own music, can attest to the fact that it’s hard to get up there and show everything on your sleeve,” Gross said. “It’s a really courageous thing to do.”

For someone who remembers what it was like to start off in the world of music, Rodgers said the concert is a rare and special experience for those attending, as well as those performing.

“It’s a great chance for people to just really tune in, put away the phone and listen to all these very personal expressions coming from these students,” Rodgers said. “It’s a very refreshing, very human experience to see people put themselves out there like that.

Brooke Avery’s father a motivating factor in hockey career

By Tim Nolan staff writer

Deb Avery needed to go to T.J. Maxx. Her husband, Curt, figured he’d tag along but had no intention of actually shopping.

Curt grabbed his skates, two sticks, and a puck. Not far from the retail store in Gilford, New Hampshire is an outdoor hockey rink, right on Lake Winnipesaukee. Deb dropped her husband and two-year-old daughter, Brooke Avery, off at the rink. Long past his competitive playing days, Curt enjoyed every minute of it.

“When you grow up a hockey guy, it’s like the rink is in your blood,” said Curt.

“It’s a place you always go to, and that lasts for life.”

Avery wanted to skate, but she was too small. She could barely walk. Curt figured if he put his skates on his daughter and pushed her, she might relax until Deb came back.

“I would’ve never because my back was killing me, but it was the only way to keep her happy,” Curt said. “She wanted (to be) on those skates instantly, and it’s been like that every day since.”

Twenty years later, that two-year-old daughter is a redshirt senior forward and alternate captain for Syracuse (4-10-1, 4-3-0 College Hockey America). Avery has 10 points through the first 15 games of the season, the third most on the team. But less than a decade ago, it was Avery’s father that kept her from quitting the sport.

“I have to put the pressure on myself to be someone that people look up to,” said Avery. “That’s something my dad has always taught me.”

Growing up, Avery said she was one of the bigger kids on the ice. She hit her growth spurt faster than many of her male teamfrom page 12

engstler time on the elbow, many at SU believe Engstler can become a “game-changing” inside-outside player.

Though Engstler said she feels most comfortable playing the power forward spot, SU head coach Quentin Hillsman said Engstler can play every position on the floor. Her shooting from the outside will be vital for the Orange to elevate to the NCAA championship heights Hillsman expects of his team this year.

“Shooting is about gift first. I think second is about working,” Hillsman said. “She came in shooting the ball, and she’s gonna get better as the year goes on.”

When Engstler was 11, she started playing pick-up basketball at Blackwell Park in Roosevelt Island, a small island on the east side of Manhattan surrounded by the East River.

Though she was always big for her age, Sunday games brought men 18 to 50 years old. At first they didn’t want her to play — games could get rough. There was hand-checking, taunting and rough fouls to stop players who beat you off the dribble. Players had to call their own fouls, but no one wanted to be “soft.” So the then-youngest player on the court had to make her shots from the outside. And she did.

Until she turned 13, when she grew into her from page 12

tournament like “centuries,” and fellow senior Santita Ebangwese tried to pass the time by studying flashcards for an upcoming exam related to her bioengineering major.

But soon, the Orange heard what they were waiting for. When “Syracuse” appeared on the screen beneath “Penn up next State” and “Howard,” the VS Yale at room erupted in cheer. For Penn State the first time in program on Friday, 5 history, Syracuse (18-8, 14-4 p.m., NCAA Atlantic Coast) is headed to tournamnet the NCAA Tournament.

mates and opposition. They began to catch up around middle school, and Avery said the game became frustrating.

Avery was ready to drop the sport after eighth grade. She had no desire of playing in high school and never even thought about college. But her dad refused to see his daughter quit the sport he’d been playing for the past 40 years.

“My dad pushed me to just keep going and keep playing because he knew that I had a lot to offer,” said Avery.

Curt never took it easy on her in anything, from billiards to parents versus player scrimmages. He never let her win.

So Avery stuck with hockey. She attended St. Paul’s (New Hampshire) School from 9th through 12th grade, where she played hockey all four years. She finished her career with 80 goals and 77 assists, earning her the attention of numerous Division I programs, including Syracuse.

Avery ultimately decided to commit to the University of New Hampshire. She was the only player in the 2015 recruiting class not from Minnesota or Canada. But both her father and SU coach Paul Flanagan believe the decision was driven by familiarity.

UNH’s Durham campus is only 30 minutes from her home in Concord. It also gave her the opportunity to go to school with people who she had grown up with.

Not long after her commitment, New Hampshire’s coach Brian McCloskey was fired for physical contact of a player during a heated exchange, per the Boston Globe. Hilary Witt, an assistant on the 2014 U.S. women’s Olympic ice hockey team, was hired shortly thereafter.

Avery didn’t fit Witt’s system. Her scholarship was not honored, and she didn’t see the ice much her freshman year.

Eight games into her sophomore season, it was more of the same. Despite limited game

action, she made the 2015 Hockey East AllAcademic Team and was recognized as one of the conference’s Top Scholar-Athletes. That put the possibility of transferring to Syracuse back in the picture.

“Her decision to come here was driven a lot by (the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications),” Flanagan said. “To be able to be in communications and get a fresh start of hockey.”

With a new start meant new sacrifices, both financially and logistically. Curt and Deb sorted out the merit money, loans, and sent their daughter seven hours away to keep doing

what she loves.

Now in Avery’s fifth year, Flanagan has provided her with more financial assistance.

She’s emerged as a core leader for the Orange and continued to maintain high grades as a public relations major.

Curt attributes her willingness to persevere to an inherent drive and commitment.

Avery points her finger right back.

“My dad was the one that drove me to practice every morning at 6 o’clock in the morning when I was a kid,” said Avery. “He has always been my biggest supporter.”

body and started to add strength to her eventual 6-foot-2 frame, she excelled as a catchand-shoot player.

One of her friends who used to play with her, Hunter Morris, remembered Engstler used to “chuck” the ball at the basket, but it would go in. It wasn’t until Engstler reached high school where it was identified as a problem. DeLuca, who followed Engstler as an assistant coach at the varsity level when she was promoted from junior varsity to varsity halfway through her freshman season, used to film practices and games to go over with players on the team afterward. In one outtake from a game against Archbishop Molloy (New York) High School, Engstler’s shot was low and from her chest. Her arms were in, and her legs weren’t straight. She shot “as if she couldn’t reach,” DeLuca said, and had a pushed delivery.

DeLuca would ask: You want to take a bad picture? You want to look bad?

“You know how you have your own form and you can still make it?” Engstler said. “To an extent if it looks a little too crazy you might need to fix a little bit, because when you go to college you’re going to be televised and (you) want it to look a little decent then.

“That gave me the urge to, like, want to fix my form, but it also helped help me shoot a lot better 3-point wise.”

She worked on her form by shooting with

one hand, stepping back after a few makes from each spot. She practiced in the park, at school and over the summers. The goal was to get her shot up and high as opposed to out and low. At Blackwell, the older men taught her how to tuck her elbow when she shot and encouraged her to keep working on establishing good form.

She picked up the arc on her shot by shooting over a 6-foot-9 Morris — even if he wasn’t always trying to block her. When it snowed, she practiced at the local LA Fitness. Morris remembered walking by Blackwell on rainy days only to see Engstler on the court, still shooting.

Even as Engstler added new combinations to her game — she could go baseline and spin the ball in backward or take flying one-handed shots through traffic — Mackey pleaded steadiness.

“Yeah, that’s nice,” Mackey said. “Okay.

Stop. Take the jump shot.”

Early in her career, due to fear of turning the ball over, Engstler neglected to put the ball on the ground to create her own shot. But as she developed guard skills, her shot became easier to come by. At St. Francis Preparatory (New York) High School, she continued her development through one-on-one drills, working on her step backs and between-thelegs dribble moves. As her level increased in high school, and she arrived to a St. Francis Prep team with less high-level options than Christ the King, she expected to face double

and triple teams, St. Francis Prep head coach Kerri White said. She emphasized using her dribbles to create for herself.

After a while, Engstler hitting shots off the dribble and in the face of defenders became routine.

“She really got a consistent form,” DeLuca said. “She figured out what worked for her.”

Even as she grew taller and bigger, she said she noticed the way the game has progressed.

She watched the NBA and WNBA and picked up skills and shot combinations from YouTube clips and television. Bigs can shoot, Engstler said. When she was younger, her height caused her to get stuck down low by coaches, but her mother Marilyn, said a big part of Engstler choosing Syracuse was the many different roles Hillsman projected for Engstler.

In her first career game at SU, an 85-49 season-opening win over North Dakota, Engstler hit three of her four attempts from 3-point range and tied the team lead with a careerhigh 13 points. When her shot is on, Syracuse is explosive. Many of SU’s most damaging runs have featured an Engstler 3-point attempt and increased scoring from the freshman.

“She’s going to get better as the year goes on, and obviously as freshmen start to figure it out, they get better,” Hillsman said, “so we’re looking forward to her getting better soon.”

hosted by No. 8 Penn State.

After qualifying for the NIVC last season, its first postseason tournament appearance in program history, Syracuse returned six seniors: Witherspoon, Ebangwese, Jalissa Trotter, Mariia Levanova, Anastasiya Gorelina and Christina Oyawale. Syracuse finished fourth in ACC play, with its 14 ACC wins tied for the most since joining the conference in 2013. Still, unlike her coach, Ebangwese wasn’t certain SU was safe entering the night.

“All signs and logic says, ‘yes, we’re probably going to make it,’” Ebangwese said.

“But it’s not real, it’s not official until you see your name.”

Syracuse began its season with three tournaments away from the Women’s Building.

During the Marquette Tournament, it played Brigham Young University, USC, and Marquette, three ranked opponents in three days.

From there, the Orange used a 4-0 start in ACC play, its best since joining the conference in 2013, to reach 14 wins.

On Oct. 28, SU knocked off then-No. 22 Louisville, its first victory over a ranked opponent since 2015. The Orange felt the experience of playing ranked opponents during the preseason tournaments helped prepare it for teams like the Cardinals who awaited it in the ACC. “We didn’t necessarily win the [preseason tournament] games,” junior libero Aliah Bowllan said earlier in the season. “But we learned a lot and we were playing with the best teams in the nation.

“We were playing with them and able to keep up with them.”

And shortly after 8:30 p.m. on Sunday night, Syracuse was rewarded for those early season losses, its five-game winning streak, and everything in between. More than

another appearance in the NIVC, they were rewarded with something that no other SU volleyball player ever experienced.

After Syracuse popped up on the screen and the players erupted with cheers, Yelin remained stoic. As Ebangwese, Oyawale, and others hugged one another, he spoke to a recruit over the phone.

When Yelin ended the call, his phone was already blowing up. For years his teams had searched for a tournament bid, set back by the change from the Big East to the ACC, he said.

“I got so many text messages from former players and they’re so happy,” Yelin said, “and I responded back to them that [this] wouldn’t be happening if you didn’t build this kind of platform for this kind of game, for these kids.”

dungey In 2016, two weeks after an upset win over a ranked Virginia Tech, a Clemson linebacker ended Dungey’s season. In 2017, two weeks after a victory over then-No.2 Clemson, Dungey played through a broken foot week only for a game-tying field goal to be blocked in a loss at Florida State. In 2018, Dungey grabbed his back during the third series of a Notre Dame matchup and collapsed to the ground. Syracuse limped through the rest of the 36-3 loss in a way reminiscent to November’s past, albeit against a top-tier opponent.

But this season, the one in which things have started falling in Syracuse’s favor, Dungey came back. Babers said a play stuck out on Wednesday or Thursday of last week. His from page 12

coughlin As a senior, he set what was then SU’s single-season pass receiving record. He stayed with the program as a graduate assistant in 1969, then returned five years later to embark on a seven-year tenure with the Orange that shaped the coaching style he had over the ensuing three decades as an NFL coach. After he left SU in 1980, Coughlin was Boston College’s quarterbacks coach from 1981-83. Then he left for the NFL, where he’s been ever since.

Coughlin grew up in Waterloo as the oldest of seven children. He spent downtime swimming in the Erie Canal and playing sports.

Because of Coughlin’s talent, high school teammates called him “Ernie,” a reference to Syracuse legend Ernie Davis, the first AfricanAmerican Heisman Trophy winner.

One of Coughlin’s fondest memories of upstate New York occurred 38 years ago — “thank you for reminding me how long it’s been,” he joked — and involved SU men’s basketball head coach Jim Boeheim. Coughlin first encountered the then-tall, skinny guard on the Lyons Central High School basketball

starting quarterback pulled the ball on a read option and burst forward. As another defender came at Dungey, he rifled a pass to a receiver.

Babers remembered approaching his quarterback after the play and asking if his back bothered him. Dungey said he was better.

“All the hair started standing up on my arm,” Babers said. “I knew right then we had a chance to win.”

Trailing 7-0 midway through the first quarter, Dungey capitalized on a defensive miscommunication. As both Boston College defensive backs stayed near the line of scrimmage, Sean Riley broke free down the seam.

With no defender within five yards of him upon the catch, Riley finished off the rest of a 75-yard touchdown pass.

A kickoff fumble and recovery preceded Dungey’s first rushing touchdown. Then came the kiss. Two hands touched Dungey’s

blue facemask and released out into the crowd. It was the first sign that Dungey, the player who started a fight on the Alumni Field sidelines two seasons ago, had his spunk back.

“We like when people try us,” Dungey said after the game sitting next to fellow senior Kielan Whitner. You don’t fold under pressure.

You elevate.”

Most of Dungey’s throws came on simple throws to the outside. Twice, swing passes to running backs hit for more than 10-yards.

Seam routes from the slot led to first downs.

When a snap flew over Dungey’s head in the second quarter, Dungey didn’t dive on the ball more than 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Instead, he scooped it and lofted it safely to the sideline. The next play he completed a 35-yard pass to Taj Harris.

Babers said Saturday he came to Syracuse

for many reasons, one of them was Dungey’s film. Babers thought Dungey as a then-freshman was raw, but he had courage.

“I think Eric Dungey needed us and I think that Syracuse needed Eric Dungey,” Babers said. “And it’s like a marriage together. We’re making this thing work.”

With a little more than nine minutes remaining in the game and SU already leading by 14, Dungey took the snap at the BC 3-yard line. He dropped back with a few short steps and lobbed a pass into the corner of the end zone. Harris caught Dungey’s final touchdown of the afternoon, a perfect timing route.

After Dungey celebrated in the end zone, he returned to the sideline and waved at the BC fans shuffling out the exits.

“It felt great walking off the field,” Dungey said. “We’ve been through a lot here.”

team in 1961, when Boeheim was a senior and Coughlin a sophomore at nearby Waterloo High School. That season, they played twice.

Both times, Coughlin recalled Boeheim “shot the lights out” and Lyons picked up two Section V victories.

At Syracuse four years later, Boeheim became Coughlin’s resident advisor on Sadler Hall floor three. Boeheim remembered Coughlin was unwaveringly self-assured and kind and serious, traits that later helped him lead the New York Giants to two Super Bowl wins over the New England Patriots.

“He’s one of the greats to have come through here,” Boeheim said. “Fortunate to have known him.”

With the New York Giants, Coughlin once fined players for being two minutes early to team meetings, explaining they should have arrived at least five minutes early. At SU, he was a similarly detail-oriented, stern disciplinarian: He measured the steps of running backs in the backfield so he could tell his offensive linemen exactly how long they’d need to hold blocks for runners to get through.

During one game in the mid-70s, a Syracuse running back took off for a long run. But Coughlin fumed. He scribbled on his grading

chart, which he used to evaluate and teach players what went well and what didn’t in a game, a “minus” grade. He’d noticed — in real time, with no replays — that the running back stepped with the wrong foot when he received the handoff.

dium for home games, many of them victories: SU went 23-7 in the three seasons he played.

He developed a reputation for physicality and toughness, which he said came from the coaches he worked with at SU. Coughlin doesn’t have any Syracuse apparel besides an alumni sweatshirt sitting in his bedroom. He jokes with Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone, a former Syracuse player and head coach from 2009-12, about how Syracuse led them to the same place.

Last year, when Coughlin was interviewed for the Jaguars position, he reminisced about New York. Specifically, his years in Waterloo, where he had a paper route and worked at a local grocery store. He became the head coach at the RIT at only 23, when he developed a 5-3 defense. Soon, he was on SU’s staff for seven seasons. He coached alongside Maloney, Nick Saban and others, but learned to forge ahead on his own accord.

“I told them I’d seen a lot of what I’d see there,” Coughlin recalled of his Jaguars interview. “The experience I had in central New York was an opportunity that built me, because I was around top-class players and coaches who showed me the way.”

He’s one of the greats to have come through here. Fortunate to have known him.

“Tough, though not in a bad way,” Maloney said. “No smiling. Just a dogged worker with strong opinions.”

Coughlin’s last collegiate game came against No. 4 UCLA, a 32-14 Orange victory.

He said he’s happy to see the program exceed expectations in 2018. It reminds him of the coaches meetings in Manley, long bus rides and walks past Sadler Hall into Archbold Sta-

Creating a coach Before his NFL career, Tom Coughlin learned to coach at Syracuse

By Matthew Gutierrez senior staff writer

T

om Coughlin couldn’t find his car keys.

It was 1974 and Coughlin, the 27-year-old head football coach at the Rochester Institute of Technology, had to leave his house for the biggest interview of his life. He was a Division III head coach hoping to return to Syracuse, his alma mater, as an assistant. He felt he was ready to make the jump into Division I coaching, so he got ready to head east on Interstate 90 for the job interview — only his keys weren’t

where he’d left them.

Coughlin scrambled. He looked everywhere. About an hour after he was supposed to be in Manley Field House for an interview, Coughlin called then-head coach Frank Maloney. He needed to reschedule. “He felt terrible,� Maloney recalled last month. “Then he told me what really happened: His kids were playing with his car keys.

I had kids the same age, so I understood.�

Coughlin, 72, serves as the Jacksonville Jaguars executive vicepresident for football operations. He lives in Florida with his wife Judy, whom he married in his hometown

women’s basketball

of Waterloo before his senior year at SU. During his time at SU, he worked long hours at a desk in a corner room of Manley Field House, designing drills and studying personnel back when a pencil was still one of a coach’s most important note-taking tools. “I thrived in that environment,� Coughlin said last month. “Syracuse was the only college I wanted to go to. My greatest sense of pride associated with having played and contributing to my university comes from all of the great players we had, guys I had the chance to develop.�

How Engstler fixed her jump shot SU makes 1st-ever NCAA tournament

By Michael McCleary asst. sports editor

Joe DeLuca didn’t realize how ugly Emily Engstler’s jump shot was until Victoria got a hand on it. DeLuca didn’t even remember the defender’s last name. The last player on the junior varsity bench, Victoria made the team, but sometimes ENGSTLER didn’t participate in drills. But Victoria helped DeLuca find the one thing he’d been searching

for with Engstler: something wrong.

Before Engstler brought the ball up the court on the break during the third practice of her freshman year of high school, coaches Joe DeLuca and Bob Mackey had watched in amazement the year prior as she dominated in every facet of the game. Her passing was well beyond her years. She rebounded, blocked shots and put the ball on the floor.

On the other end, she finished with ease. Despite her size, she had the skills of a guard.

So as she dribbled the ball down in practice, she immediately looked to the basket and fired a pull-up 3-point-

er at the top of the key. It’s a shot she’d hit many times in her career. But this time, Victoria blocked it. Engstler looked to DeLuca in shock. “We found your flaw,� DeLuca remembered he laughed.

To maximize her versatility, Engstler has spent much of her development working on retooling her jump shot. Now a freshman at Syracuse (5-1), her ability to shoot the ball from outside has added a dynamic element to the Orange’s 3-point heavy offense.

Engstler has hit just 4-14 3-pointers so far this season on 50 percent shooting overall from the field. Spending little see engstler page 9

SU head coach Leonid Yelin was near certain Syracuse would reach the NCAA tournament.

At 8:29 p.m., one minute before the NCAA selection show was supposed to begin, Yelin strolled into the room in Manley Field House where the Syracuse watch party was being held. After pacing in and

out for about half an hour, he didn’t smile, speak, or show any sign of nervousness. Instead, he started fiddling with his phone. Eventually, he took a seat next to associate coach Erin Little. “Just to know how it works for so many years, I was pretty confident,� Yelin said.

Yet, everyone other than Yelin was anxious. Senior Amber Witherspoon said the wait felt
