NCAA Bound: Women’s Golf team heads to Washington for regional championship Adam Warfel | @Warfel_Adam

Isabel Miller | @IsabelMMiller The SIU Women’s Golf Team celebrates their NCAA Regional seeding announcement on Wednesday at Copper Dragon.

All eyes were turned to the television screen while fans and members of the women’s golf team waited to see “Southern Illinois” flash across the screen. Cheers erupt and fill Copper Dragon – the team is heading to Washington.

After winning the Missouri Valley Conference tournament last week. the SIU Women’s Golf team earned an automatic bid to the 2019 NCAA Regional tournament.

Jackie Biggs, a graduate student from Englewood, Colorado, said she is looking forward to the opportunity to play on a large stage.”I am speechless, honestly I don’t know how to describe it,” Biggs said.” It still hasn’t even quite hit me yet that

we’re going there even though I just saw on the screen we are.”

Southern was announced as the 18 seed and they are set to play in the Cle Elum Regional in Washington.

The University of Southern California is set as the one seed.

Even knowing that the Salukis had secured their spot in the tournament by winning the conference tournament, Biggs was still curious as to where they would be playing.

“It’s still pins and needles, you don’t know where you’re going to go you don’t know what teams you are going to play,” Biggs said. “The overall excitement of seeing your name up there means that it’s a real thing.”

Isabel Miller | @IsabelMMiller Joe Gomez, of Cobden, runs through the finish line on Friday at Turley Park during the Neighborhood Co-Op Feed your Neighbor 5K. Gomez has been running competitions like this for 30 years, his longest Lee race was a 50K. Gomez says he runs to support everyone in the community. “It takes a village,” Gomez said. Funds raised from the race went to the Good Samaritan House, a charity that gives support to those in need. Gomez runs with the team Red, White and Blue.

“It’s an organization started by a veteran. It’s all inclusive, anybody can join. It’s about enriching people’s lives saying that we are more alike than we are different and everyone has something to offer to their fellow man and woman in terms of positivity,” Gomez said.

Washington C continued from

over

Moyea Russell, a sophomore from Lake Orion, Michigan, described the opportunity to play in the NCAA regionals as “unreal.”

“Honestly, it’s unreal, we won conference last week on Tuesday and today we found out we’re going to Washington for regionals,” Russell said.

“I can’t wrap my head around it – we’ve come a long way from the beginning of the season to now.”

Head coach Danielle Kaufman said she saw the potential this group of women had to win the tournament with the opportunity to advance to regionals as early as the first tournament.

“At the beginning, our first tournament, I could see the determination in their eyes,” Kaufman said. “That right there was a lot of help for me , the kids had the drive so we just had to get them mentally prepared.”

Kaufman credited the short game and how much they worked on it over the season as a primary reason as to how the Salukis now find themselves off to Washington state.

“Some days we would not pick up a driver, we would not pick up an iron, we would just hit wedges for two to three hours,” Kaufman said. “At this level, that’s how you win championships is your short game, that’s what we did all year.”

The team overall is fairly young with a lone graduate student in Biggs and one senior

in Sun Jung and Kaufman credited this young team with determination.

“Very impressive, but that just goes back with the fact that they had the drive,” Kaufman said.

“They listened, they worked outside of practice, they just did whatever it took.”

The team initially thought they would be playing in Alabama, even though Kaufman told the team she thought it would be fun to go to Washington. “I kept telling them, wouldn’t it be cool to go to Washington,” Kaufman said.

“We’re excited about Washington, we all thought Alabama, for some reason that’s just where we thought we were going.”

Kaufman assured now that the team knows where they will be teeing off come tomorrow they will be examining the course.

“That’s what we’re going to do tomorrow, we’re going to start studying it,” Kaufman said.

As far as the 17 other teams in the regional with the Salukis, Kaufman said that there is a lot of good teams in the regional but she has full confidence in her team’s ability.

“They have a lot of great teams, I’m still confident that this team can make that top six,” Kaufman said. “If we continue to do what we have been doing these last few tournaments, I think we can make top six.”

Kaufman, was named 2019 MVC Coach of the Year, in a vote held by all the other coaches in the conference and looking back on this season with the regionals ahead she said the girls have had their goal

in sight.

“It’s just been awesome there is no words to describe how I feel about this season,” Kaufman said.

“The kids are just remarkable kids, we just all clicked, we knew what our goal was.”

Russell said she saw how the team has clicked, especially after coming back from Christmas break and how they came together to reach their goal.

“From the beginning of the season as a team, we were all kind of individualized,” Russell said. “Really when we got back from Christmas break, we all were like in order to win we need to be a team and a family.”

Russell said sge believed the family mindset helped even on the course knowing that no matter what happened each girl would pick each other up.

“We had no worries, we knew if I make a double [bogey] one of my teammates will make a birdie,” Russell said.

Aside from the rain outside, the only water found in Copper Dragon were the tears of joy for the women’s golf team knowing that their season is still ongoing.

The SIU Men’s Golf team also qualified for the NCAA Tournament. This is the first time in school history both teams have qualified in the same year.

Southern Illinois Pagan Alliance celebrates spring ritual Elizabeth Biernacki | Staff Reporter

The Southern Illinois Pagan Alliance held its annual spring ritual, “Beltane,” at Giant City State Park on Sunday.

Nearly 100 SIPA members, the Carbondale community and others from the region came out and danced around the maypole with ribbons in celebration.

The day started with a children’s maypole around 12:30 p.m. while the main event began shortly after 1 p.m.

A potluck and raffle helped fund the event, which is free to the public.

Beltane is time to celebrate the fertility of Earth, Tara Nelsen, SIPA founder, said, “Everything is growing, everything is coming back to life, everything is new and fresh and exciting – winter is gone,” Nelsen said.

The maypole itself symbolizes masculine energy while the ribbons being wrapped around it represent the Earth which is female, Nelsen said. The two together represent fertility, but there are many ways fertility can be interpreted.

“It’s not just physical fertility – it’s not just human babies and creating life – it’s also about money and prosperity, it’s also

about abundance in your life,” Nelsen said.

Nelsen says when dancing around the maypole, many think about the things in their

life they would like to have a larger abundance of.

Erica Hansen, a senior at Carterville High School, said she brought a green ribbon

which represents new life and wealth. “[As well as] going to college in a far away place, I’m excited to start a new life

than three decades ago.

Yehuda Krinsky had called to tell him that his news conference had carried Chabad’s words of hope and peace across the world.

“The message from Poway is reaching millions,” Goldstein repeated excitedly to his younger brother Zalman and son-in-law Schneur Polter.

Spreading the message of light prevailing over darkness was more than a small solace for Goldstein, who has dedicated his life to a leader who “professed and taught us the idea of unconditional love.”

To spread that message further, Goldstein consented to one more interview, fighting sleep and pain to tell his story to The Times.

Goldstein said he grew up listening to the teachings of Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the

leader who elevated a movement started in a Russian village called Lubavitch into one of the most influential Jewish outreach organizations of the 20th century.

The Rebbe, as he was widely known, himself a Holocaust survivor, addressed “a generation of Holocaust survivors and their families who had abandoned their faith due to their suffering, who saw no future in Judaism,” Goldstein said.

“He embarked on a journey to revive the faith, vitality and the observance of Judaism.”

He did it, Goldstein said, by dispatching his students to “farflung corners of the world and United States, to cities that didn’t have strong centers of Judaism.”

They were spreading a message described by the Jewish Journal in

a tribute to Goldstein as “a joyful, positive vibe that seems to be wired into every Chabad rabbi and rebbitzen.”

As a boy growing up amid the Jewish ferment of the Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood of Crown Heights, Goldstein was inspired by the challenge.

“I said, ‘I want to join,’ “ he said. “ ‘I want to go to a city and establish a Jewish presence and attract and an assimilated generation and give them a chance to get back to their roots.’”

That city would become Poway, a San Diego suburb that had a growing Jewish population and no synagogue.

Goldstein’s introduction to the West Coast came in 1981, when he worked as a summer camp counselor in San Diego.

there,” Hansen said.

Nelsen said SIPA is a welcoming organization which allows all people to join in on their rituals and group activities.

“It’s a good way to meet new friends and interact with folks who have maybe a different path. The thing about paganism is that it’s really an umbrella term because there’s a lot of different paths to it,” Pat Jones, a SIPA board member, said.

Paganism itself is an earthbased spiritual practice, Nelsen said.

“Since we’re an earth based spiritual practice, our spiritual identity, what we celebrate is based on the cycles of the Earth,” Nelsen said.

SIPA holds eight public rituals throughout the year, each celebrates one of the eight Sabbats dependent upon the season.

“I found so many wonderful and caring people here and coming together for things like Beltane, it brings me out of dark times. It’s nice to be surrounded by likeminded people,” Hansen said.

Rabbi wounded in synagogue attack becomes global messenger of faith

Doug Smith | Los Angeles Times

He had faced a rifle-wielding assassin and witnessed the death of a beloved member of his congregation.

Hours after leaving the hospital, his own wounded hands wrapped in blue bandages, Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein steeled himself to face the national media, delivering an emotional recitation of the tragedy.

Then he was home at last, in the circle of his family. Taking a moment to himself, he ate a quick meal. Then he returned to the rabbi’s duty. There was a sit-down television interview to do, and as soon as it was finished, Goldstein took a long call from a national official of Chabad-Lubavitch, the international Jewish movement that had brought him to Poway more

“I really enjoyed it,” he said. He came back the following two years.

His path to Poway was blazed by a Kaiser emergency room doctor who had moved there and lobbied Chabad’s San Diego rabbi, Yonah Fradkin, to set up a Chabad center in his community.

Rabbi Fradkin recruited Goldstein for the job. As a 22-yearold, Goldstein jumped at the offer.

They sought permission from the Rebbe, who gave his blessing.

Goldstein and the doctor became fast friends and collaborators.

“Together we built the community,” Goldstein said. “We started in a little storefront, and then we found this piece of property.

We put trailers there first. We put modular homes.”

Guebert: ‘Booksmart’ earns top marks Kyler Guebert | @KGuebert88

Coming of age films are, in my opinion, some of the hardest films to make.

As a filmmaker who just went through nearly eleven months of screenwriting, rewriting and production on a coming-of-age short film, I promise this genre is incredibly hard to perfect – or even do well.

For every successful one, there are dozens more which collect dust. In full honesty, I haven’t seen a really good coming of age film based in high school in a very long time. Enter Booksmart, the directorial debut of actress Olivia Wilde.

The film centers on Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein), two straight-A students who, after learning all of their peers will be attending elite colleges despite their lack of work ethic and love of parties, decide to have one night of partying. What they get instead is an insane night filled with yachts, drugs, turmoil and a lot of self-realization.

The best thing about Booksmart is the performances.

Every single performer in this movie brings their best and embodies each character in a way which makes you understand who they are without having tons of exposition to set them up.

The two standouts, however, are easily the film’s two stars.

Beanie Feldstein is a comedic tour-de-force, delivering each line with almost perfect timing every single time. Feldstein also does an amazing job of showing Molly’s growth throughout the film, allowing the audience to slowly understand her intentions and her interactions as the film progresses.

Her costar, Kaitlyn Dever, delivers one of my favorite performances in a while.

Amy has to balance her social awkwardness with her desire to be with her friend before leaving for the entire summer in a way which Dever absolutely nails.

Amy is also a lesbian, which becomes an important plot point for the film and gives Amy the opportunity for a lot more character development and growth throughout the movie. Also, I gotta give a shout out to Billie Lorde, who is sheer comedic perfection in this movie and never once does one of her beats miss.

The film is also just genuinely funny. The script is incredibly tight with joke after joke hitting at the perfect time for the film (I feel it's worth noting the entire screenwriting team was female). Nothing ever feels out

“Every single performer in this movie brings their best and embodies each character in a way which makes you understand who they are without having tons of exposition to set them up.” of place or rushed, not even an entire sequence where the two leads become dolls.

The film’s two lead characters are strong feminists, and the script never allows that to become the butt of a joke. Instead, it places Amy and Molly in situations which challenge their beliefs and brings humor to societal norms and opinions on certain matters. It’s an incredibly wellexecuted film throughout, and, for me, that all comes from Olivia Wilde.

Wilde’s direction of the actors and the scenes helps to keep the story flowing as well as it does. She also shows her chops at dramatic filmmaking, with the last half hour containing a lot of emotionally charged and important moments which never once fall flat.

Many have criticized Booksmart for being a “female Superbad” or “lesbian Superbad”, as one of my friends, who also loved the film, put it. And, yes, it’s very similar in style to Superbad (which, interestingly enough, Feldstein’s older brother, Jonah Hill, starred in). But what sets this film apart from all of the raunchy comedies share similar ideas is that Booksmart allows for the characters to really grow, and you really feel as if everything you’re seeing is believable.

It’s that very believability which makes Booksmart so good on every level. It feels like high school and it feels like real life. It’s everything a coming-of-age film with this setting should be, and so so much more.

Booksmart is set to be released nationwide on May 24th.

You’re Dumb and Wrong: Calling a movie ‘overrated’ is lazy Jeremy Brown | @JeremyBrown_DE

This final column might come off as a desperate attempt at relevancy. I can assure you I already did that in week 3.

It's easy for critical entertainment audiences to blow off popular movies as either watered-down for the masses or overrated. The latter is an obnoxious blanket statement with immediately less effort than anything the audience is criticizing.

"Overrated" boils down to one basic thought: "Everyone is liking this. Instead they should have my much smarter, more correct opinion."

Alone, this comes across arrogant and pessimistic.

However, it's not like you're not allowed to have this opinion of others' opinions — I still think Red Dead Redemption II doesn't justify being open-world. With a score of 97 on Metacritic, I'm clearly in the minority.

Moreover, understanding you're an outlier isn't the same as calling something overrated, because the former acknowledges the critic as just one voice and the latter conveys the critic is the one voice.

Since this has always been an antagonistic column and I'm graduating in a week, let's use a controversial movie as our main example: Star Wars

Episode VIII: The Last Jedi.

I love The Last Jedi. The praetorian guard fight is awesome, the salt planet at the end is one of the coolest planets the series has ever visited and each of the three protagonists learn specific values which will set them up for their finale this December.

A large portion of the Star Wars fanbase hates this movie and it's their right to do so.

I'd say the ratio for haters to lovers is probably comparable to my reader base.

Yet when disgruntled fans disagree with the praise from critics while still having evidence to back their opinions, it still doesn't negate others' praise or enjoyment.

Granted, irate fans would probably not acknowledge The Last Jedi as overrated, but just terrible.

When critiquing any movie, using "overrated" is just laziness. Critiques aren't just your frustrations, they should be coming from wanting the entertainment to improve, to be elevated. Find your reasons for disliking the movie and understand they are your own, not objective foundations of what makes films good or bad — then, maybe your words will help someone create something better in the future.

"Underrated" is never nearly as frustrating to hear, because it comes from a place of

optimism. But this is typically incorrectly used.

Many times, when someone will say a movie like Logan Lucky or The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is underrated, what they really mean is not enough people saw the movie.

Because in actuality, most people who actually went to see these films enjoyed them.

I'm definitely projecting.

Truly using "underrated" usually gets greeted with backlash — has anyone been respected for liking Suicide Squad? I'm looking at you, Caleb and no you still aren't.

Just like I'll never get respect for liking The Last Jedi by mostly likely anyone reading this.

I could try to end on something more pretentiously intellectual, but this column's been overrated from the start.

Thanks all for reading.

Opinion: If you want to combat rape culture, stop normalizing porn addiction Jeremy Brown | @JeremyBrown_DE

The following discusses sensitive topics of porn addiction, incest porn, and porn's correlation to rape culture. Reader discretion is advised.

By normalizing porn addiction, I think we, as a society, unintentionally enable misrepresentations of sex.

Some of these representations are potentially damaging psychologically.

More studies need to investigate whether porn addiction is a contributing factor to the psychology of rape culture, and to normalize porn addiction is to act as if there is no need to investigate this.

To clarify this point on our "society," PornHub's "Year in Review 2018" statistics have the United States as number one point of traffic, approximately three times the amount of traffic over the United Kingdom in second place.

In his article "Why Do Men Sexually Assault Women," Noam Shpancer, a professor of psychology at Otterbein University, said most offenders don't act because of twisted fantasies, rather because they adhere to the culture surrounding them.

"Men who attack women are usually following either a well-learned social script or the immediate pressure of group norms," Shpancer said. "When the script is violated, those who have internalized it will tend to blame the violator, not the script."

Thus, if the sexual "script" says the end point of flirting is intercourse, then many won't break it regardless of how they actually feel in the moment, Shpancer said.

To change this dynamic, sexual scripts will have to change," Shpancer said.

I argue as part of changing those cultural scripts, we need to question the impact porn has on our collective culture. That impact not only comes from the way sex is misrepresented in porn, but also the accessibility, frequency and genres of porn.

This is not to say everyone who watches porn or masturbates is a rapist, or even has thoughts of sexually assaulting someone.

Many studies, including "Ejaculation Frequency and Subsequent Risk of Prostate Cancer" led by Dr. Michael Leitzmann, show masturbation can be an important part of prostate health.

There is evidence that porn addiction, like drug addiction, creates neural pathways that affect the psychology of

Erin Douglas | Daily Egyptian

viewers, according to the study "Pornography addiction: A neuroscience perspective" by Donald Hilton Jr. and Clark Watts.

But because sex has connections to morality, it's handled less objectively in scientific debate, according to the study."

We believe, however, with the preceding foundation it is time to begin serious discussions of sexual addiction and its components such as pornography," the study said.

and enjoy. Porn treats sex as selfcentered activity, giving only the viewer whatever they want.

When someone's view of sex is shaped by porn's attitude of getting whatever you want, it makes sense they would devalue another person's choice of consent because they haven't experienced a need to value that choice.

Tying back to the sexual "scripts" of society, if young men are learning their viewpoints on sex only through porn at younger

thus possibly irresponsible views of sex, at younger ages.

Frequency and porn genres: When someone becomes addicted to porn they're typically watching or masturbating to it at least once every day. Where this could become an issue once again is the representation of sex in porn, specifically This becomes a bigger red flag when people also watch more graphic misrepresentations of sex each night.

Out of PornHub's 32 most

“I argue as part of changing those cultural scripts, we need to question the impact porn has on our collective culture. That impact not only comes from the way sex is misrepresented in porn, but also the accessibility, frequency and genres of porn.”

Accessibility: As children get internet access through smartphones earlier in life, they can access porn earlier as well.

According to PornHub's "Year in Review 2018," visits to PornHub totaled 33.5 billion in 2018, an increase of 5 billion visits over 2017 and a daily average of 92 million visitors.

By this data, it's clear that porn is becoming more commonplace and the audience is growing.

The major issue of someone discovering porn as their first impressions of sex is it distorts a healthy view of what sex is. It's meant for people to come together

ages, then when they come together their mentality will not suddenly change on how they approach sex.

I would cite another source to confirm this, but there is a severe lack of scientific studies into this possible correlation. And once again, that is exactly my point — because we continue to ignore this, we aren't doing what we can societally to combat rape culture.

The accessibility of porn for our generation is frighteningly simple.

Because we've collectively failed to question the psychological effects, we're normalizing porn addiction and

viewed videos of all time in the US, 19 are of incest or stepincest porn. It seems, perhaps, the biggest trend in porn currently is incest per the site. Additionally, the fourth most searched term on PornHub in 2018 was "step mom," which held the same spot in 2017, according to the Year in Review. This is part of the mainstream of porn.

The argument that these genres are acceptable because they're fake is pathetic – the reason someone watches it over other porn is because they are into the taboo of the context, not because it's fake.

In an interview with Esquire, Paul Wright, an associate professor at The Media School at Indiana University, said as types of pornography that were less common in the past become more common and accessible, consumers get bored by them. “[They] need the extremity and deviance upped a notch to once again become aroused and excited," Wright said.

Personally, my problem with incest porn is it sexualizes the women in a man's life he isn't allowed to normally sexualize: his family. When someone is frequently masturbating to or watching videos of this porn, clearly there appears inherent desire from the viewer to sexualize what they can't have.

There are next to zero scientific studies questioning the possible connection between the genres of porn watched and the social scripts men follow that feed into rape culture and sexual assault.

Like my previous points, this is the issue — how do we know none of this is harmful if we never question whether it is by treating it as completely normal?

The hypocrisy of treating porn addiction as a completely unrelated issue without first studying it needs to change if, as a society, we want to combat the culture that enables sexual assault.

Opinion: Should you own a domesticated fox?

Elizabeth Biernacki | @EBiernacki_619

There’s definitely an intrigue over owning exotic pets and domestic red foxes are no exception.

They’re beautiful animals, but are they really the best companion?

It all depends on you and your experience.

Do you have the knowledge to take care of one correctly and safely?

Honestly, while I love the idea of owning a fox, they aren’t great animals to own as pets, even through years of domestication. However, if you do want to own one, there are a few things to consider when thinking about getting a fox as a pet.

Domestic vs. Wild: Believe it or not, wild foxes and domestic foxes are actually quite different genetically, due to selective breeding over the course of about 60 years.

Researchers bred the most docile foxes to replicate the early stages of domesticating dogs.

Foxes were selected due to their similarity to dogs and the fact they are both canids.

These foxes genetically lost many of their natural instincts, became less shy, more accepting of human companionship and more docile.They were also selectively bred for pelts, which greatly changed the physical characteristics of foxes as well. Wild foxes are actually much smaller and have a less “fluffy” coat.

Domesticated foxes are larger and have extremely thick coats, which make them desirable animals to breed for pelts. Due to these physical and behavioral differences, domestic foxes are not able to be released into the wild and it is actually illegal to do so.

Behavior and Temperament: Despite looking like dogs, domesticated foxes are still more wild than their canine counterparts.

While it’s true they have behavioral and physiological differences make them domestic, they do still have some instincts, such as burrowing and marking, which can make their behavior in a home unpredictable.

The best way to describe a red fox is comparing them to a toddler in the “terrible twos” stage of life; however, the fox will be in this stage its entire life.

In this way they are more like cats; they are very independent and don’t care much to please their caretaker like a dog would. They are also, by nature, solitary animals, another difference from dogs, who are pack animals.

On top of that, when foxes reach about 6 months old, their behavior becomes extremely rebellious.

This time is usually called the “October Crazies” because fox kits are born in spring and reach about 6 months around October.

During this time foxes will be like human

teenagers as they test their authority.

They will rebel by destroying household items, marking what they believe is theirs with urine and scat, pretending they don’t understand what you want them to do...you get the idea.

However, if you can deal with them from 6 months to a year, you’ll be able to deal with them for the rest of their lives.

Red Fox Diets: The diet of a domestic red fox is a bit different than a domestic dog. While they are both canids, a commercial dog kibble won’t cut it.

The reason for this is because red foxes need something called taurine, which is only found in animal tissue. Without it, they can have an abundance of health problems such as seizures and blindness.

In order to mimic the natural diet of a fox, they need a variety of different game animals such as duck, turkey, quail and rabbit.

However, foxes are also omnivores, so supplement their meat with some healthy fruits like raspberries, apples and peaches and veggies like carrots, green beans or peas.

Is it Legal: Every state has its own regulations when it comes to exotic animal ownership and while it might be legal in the state, you also need to make sure it’s legal in your county as the laws may be different.

In the United States it can be legal with very little regulation, legal with permits, restrictions or special experience or completely illegal to own a red fox.

Legal - Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas and Wisconsin.

Illegal - Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.

So if you still want to adopt a domestic red fox, go ahead! Just make sure you have the right knowledge and tools to raise one safely, correctly and legally.

Southern Illinois sweeps UNI Panthers in three game series Tamar Mosby | @mosbytamar

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – Southern Illinois swept the University of Northern Iowa Panthers in a three game series this weekend.

The series marked the 114th meeting of the two teams who hold the second and third place positions in the MVC. The Salukis are in the second place position, while the Panthers are in the third place position.

SIU holds a 75-38 lead over UNI in the all-time series and extended this lead after completing this weekend’s sweep.

Game 1: Game one of the series took place on Saturday afternoon and the Dawgs got off to a good start scoring three runs in the first two innings.

The first was scored on a an RBI single from freshman infielder Ashley Wood with the bases loaded. While the next two were scored in the top of the second on an RBI single from sophomore infielder Jenny Jansen.

This hit pushed the score to 3-0 with Southern ahead.

The next three innings of the game were scoreless in both dugouts.

In the top of the sixth inning, Jansen sounded off for SIU batting an RBI double to left field for SIU to make the score 5-0.

Senior first baseman Jordan Spicer pushed the lead even further in the top of the seventh inning smacking a solo homer out of the park, but the Panthers had the last say as they hit a solo homer of their own in the bottom of the inning.

T h i s r u n h o w e v e r, w a s not enough to take the lead from Southern who g o t o ff t o a v e r y f a s t s t a r t and the Dawgs took the win at 6-1.

Game 2: Game two of the series turned out to be an extremely long battle for SIU as it lasted for 12 innings.

Just like the first game, the Salukis were the first team to score putting a run on the board in the top of the first inning.

After four scoreless innings on both ends, the Dawgs were able to score another run in the top of the sixth inning to make it a 2-0 game.

Tremendous defense on both ends of the field kept the game low scoring and close.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, UNI was able to sneak two runners passed the Southern defense tying the game at 2-2.

After a scoreless seventh, the game remained tied and was forced into extra innings.

It wasn’t until the top of the

twelfth inning when the tie was broken on a solo homer and RBI by Jansen to make the score 4-2 and give the Dawgs the win.

This win marked SIU’s 30th of the season, which was Saluki head coach Kerri Blaylock’s 17th 30 win season.

"It’s all about the players and we have been fortunate to have some really good ones here," Blaylock said. "I just fill out the lineup card. It says the most about the consistency of our program and I guess that's what I'm most proud of.

We haven't gone up and downwe've just stayed consistent."

Game 3: The Dawgs fought hard in game three on Sunday and came back from a two run deficit to complete the sweep.

Once again, Southern was the first team to sound off

scoring one run on an RBI single from junior outfielder Susie Baranski in the top of the second inning.

In the next inning, Spicer hit another solo homer (her sixth of the season) to plate herself and one teammate pushing the score to 3-0.

After this inning the Dawgs seemed to go silent, while the Panthers picked up the pace scoring five unanswered runs over the course of three innings putting them up 5-3.

SIU finally found its footing in the top of the sixth inning when junior infielder Maddy Vermejan smacked a solo homer and RBI to tie it up at 5-5.

After both teams went scoreless in the next inning, the game was extended to an extra eighth inning.

In the final inning the Salukis managed to pull ahead

on a two run RBI from Wood.

UNI (22-22, MVC 13-10) was unable to score and this allowed Southern to clench the win at 7-5 to complete a three game sweep.

"I was just telling the kids that I don't think they understand how tough it is to do," Blaylock said. "It's a long road trip and Northern Iowa is a very talented ball club.

There were all these factors that we could have used as excuses- we played in the UNI Dome, where we aren't use to playing and we have been on the road for 10-straight games, but we just buckled down and played hard. I am really proud of our kids."

The Salukis (31-11, MVC 15-5) will take the field again on Wednesday at Charlotte West Stadium to take on their sister school SIUE. The first pitch will be thrown at 5 pm.

second best slugging percentage.

As for baseball at 1-9 in the MVC and riding a 10 game losing streak, I just want a win at this point and with Illinois and Murray State coming to town this week I hope they take one of the two.

The sport to kick off the fall season for Southern will be the women's soccer team with their first year in action, I set no expectations for those women other than to go out and compete – that's all I ask for in the first year of a program.

Looking ahead to the fall, I expect the football team to look better than last year with the additions of Jason Petrino as the defensive coordinator and Blake Rolan as the offensive coordinator, I believe the

football team will be at best 7-5 and at the worst 5-7.

I expect cross country to still be running strong despite the loss of Josh Maier, junior Megan Krolak will continue on the women's side for that team but another man will be left to fill Maier's shoes.

Turning the eyes to basketball, for the men's team it will be the first year under new head coach Brian Mullins and they have yet to release their schedule but I would expect this Saluki team to finish anywhere between fourth and seventh in the conference.

The contributions of Aaron Cook and Eric McGill in their final season will be key to Southern's success next year, under Mullins' system.

For women's basketball this young team had this season to get

experience, but between junior Nicole Martin and sophomores Makenzie Silvey and Abby Brockmeyer a top three finish in the Valley would not be unexpected.

Regardless of how the golf teams finishes or the softball or baseball team, or track and field, it has been a fun Spring for SIU athletics.

Looking ahead into the fall, I urge all fans of Southern come out and support this women's soccer team on August 17th in their exhibition game against SEMO as they kick off the fall season of sports with a kickoff set for 7:00 P.M.

Southern Illinois sweeps UNI Panthers in three game series Adam Warfel | @warfel_adam

With the spring semester coming to a close, this also means all of the sports are coming to a close as well.

There are five teams remaining playing out the rest of their spring schedule, with men's and women's golf advancing to the postseason, softball, track and field and baseball coming to a close.

Looking at the rest of this season, excluding the golf teams, I expect the softball team to make the NCAA tournament and some of the athletes from the track and field team shattering records as well.

Softball (15-5) sits at second in the conference behind Drake (21-2) and with only Bradley to face, I do not expect the

leapfrog the Bulldogs in the conference standings.

Fans should not be surprised to see a rematch of the Missouri Valley Championship final from last year when SIU fell to Drake, 4-1.

The softball team up to this point has won 31 games this season with four left to play and if you have not had the chance to see this team play there are four home games left in the season.

From mashing the ball with four players on the team to having five home runs or more with freshman Ashley Wood leading the way with eight home runs.

This Salukis lead the conference in on base percentage as well, tag that to go along with the second best average, the
