Coach Paul Rhoads drops down in reaction to a would-be fumble from Texas in the fourth quarter. The Cyclones lost 31-30 to the Longhorns on Thursday at Jack Trice Stadium.

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Paul Rhoads has always been known for his emotional postgame victory speeches. But he has never given one like he did after Iowa State’s loss Thursday night.

With 1:08 remaining in the game against Texas, ISU linebacker Jeremiah George emerged from the pile at the goal line with an apparent fumble recovery, which would have sealed an ISU victory.

It wasn’t until George was 30 yards down the field in the opposite direction with the ball that he knew the play had been blown dead.

Instead, the officials ruled Texas running back Johnathan Gray was down, and the Longhorns scored two plays later with 51 seconds remaining to take a 31-30 lead and the ultimately win after the Cyclones couldn’t counter.

Rhoads didn’t hold back on the call following the loss.

Offense emerges, but big plays cripple Cyclones

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com Once you look past the controversial fumble where Jeremiah George potentially ripped the ball from Johnathan Gray’s hands in the middle of a pile, it was Texas’ big plays in the first half that were a momentum-killer for the Cyclones. “[Rhoads] told us he felt for us,” said George, linebacker for Iowa State.

“He understood how bad we wanted this game. He said we did everything he asked us to do.”

For the Longhorns, 14 of their 17 first-half points came on two plays.

Early in the first half, Gray scampered on a cutback run, knifing through

the Cyclones defense for a 45-yard score to silence the 52,762 fans in Jack Trice Stadium.

“We knew he was going to cutback all night,” George said. “He found the cutback lane, and I was cut, and he ran right by me.”

After answers from Iowa State in the second quarter in the form of two field goals by Cole Netten and a touchdown pass by Aaron Wimberly from Sam Richardson, Texas had a chance to steal momentum back from Iowa State.

Texas quarterback Case McCoy threw a desperation pass into the end zone where four ISU defensive backs couldn’t stop Texas’ John Harris from snatching a touchdown to

end the half and with it, Iowa State’s momentum.

“We should’ve batted that down, that was a big change in momentum, but we came back and responded in the second half,” said ISU safety Jacques Washington.

Aside from those two deflating plays from Texas, the Cyclone defense held the Longhorns to a mere 97 yards on offense in the first half.

Offense’s emergence For the secondstraight game, Iowa State received strong input from the three major points in their offense — Richardson, Wimberly and Quenton Bundrage.

In order to create a open environment for students who identify as LGBT, Safe Zone 101 trains faculty and staff members on how to respond to situations these students might face.

A placard that reads “Safe Zone” is given to those who complete Safe Zone 101. Students who see the signs will be able to know that the staff or faculty member has been through training, and their office is a place where they are safe to talk about problems they might be facing.

“Our students are looking for Safe Zone stickers,” said Brad Freihoefer, coordinator of the Office of LGBT Student Services. Freihoefer told the training audience that he wants them to be empowered to help create massive change across campus.

“But if we can identify who the person is with the IED tucked in the backpack or wearing the suicide vest, then we can prevent some of the IEDs from being implanted.”

Sweet said her research is about what can be done to train law enforcement officers and military personnel to be better equipped to ensure the public’s safety and their own safety.

Sweet’s research has been a collaboration with the ISU Police Department and the ISU Army ROTC. During her research, Sweet used Army ROTC cadets. The cadets were separated into pairs, one person carrying a bucket of water in a backpack and the other partner not.

was used to represent a payload.

The cadets were video recorded as they walked across campus concealing the bucket of water.

Their goals to carry the bucket of water without being identified as the threat.

Sweet wanted the cadets to come up with a plan that would help them not be identified as the person with the payload.

“My goal was to walk smoothly to prevent any signs from the backpack, as well as to walk casually and be conscious as to what I was doing,” said Raymond Kiemen, Army ROTC cadet and senior in interdisciplinary studies.

Isabella Hamby, senior in psychology, was one of the 18 cadets who participated in this study.

“It really made us aware of our actions and how we move when we walk around strangers in a crowd and what we should be looking for when people are acting suspicious,” Hamby said.

ISU Police asked other law enforcement officials across Iowa to participate in the study.

Of the 55 officers from the five different departments, Sweet’s research showed that 50 percent of them picked the right cadet.

Predictors that helped the officers spot the target cadet included stiff posture, an unnatural stride in walk and touching of the backpack.

Sweet found that officers with less than 16 years of experience outperformed officers with 16 to 40 years of experience.

Female and male officers with one to six years of experience were 55 and

50 percent accurate.

Female and male officers with 16 to 40 years of experience were 48 and 45 percent accurate on determining the person with the payload.

Sweet stated that because these officers have more experience, they tend to rely on past experiences to inform the decisions about the immediate time.

She also said this maybe due to confirmation bias.

“Confirmation bias occurs when we search for evidence or interpret evidence in a way that supports our beliefs,” Sweet said. “An officer with more experience has certainly spent more time identifying a potential threat, but there may be a big difference between what behaviors they think are associated with suspicious behavior and which behaviors actually are.”

Kent Kroeger, coordinator for statistical consulting, helped Sweet collect data for this research.

“This is the first step in a much longer process of doing research,” Kroeger said, “We wanted to put together a simple design that will use as an insight on a much larger design.”

For a long-term plan, Kroeger hopes to involve more real world scenarios that can be used for training.

“Ultimately, our research shows just how difficult it is to identify suspicious behavior and that researchers need to continue working with law enforcement officers to truly understand which behaviors are associated with suspicious behavior,” Sweet said.

Ex-presidential adviser talks politics, ‘CEOs’ of leadership

By Mackensie.Moore @iowastatedaily.com A former U.S. presidential counselor gave her audience an optimistic view on leaders in America and even brought a few laughs during her speech as the new Mary Louise Smith Chair for the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics.

Karen Hughes was invited to speak about “The CEOs of Leadership: Clarity, Example and Optimism” on Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

“When students ask me for advice I say follow your passions, in keeping with your priorities, do what you love and do what you want to do at the time you want to do it,” Hughes said.

After Hughes started out as a journalist and a TV reporter, her career quickly grew as she became a strategic adviser and counselor to President George W. Bush. Hughes credits her career changes for always doing what she wanted.

Working for Bush taught Hughes a lot about leadership and helped her to realize the three aspects that, in her opinion, every leader should have: clarity, example and optimism.

She referenced conversations she had with the president, especially on the topic of clarity.

Hughes said that to achieve clarity of a message, a leader must have clear communication and follow that through with their actions and to stay consistent.

“Great leaders have clarity, and they share it with their team,” Hughes said.

The second aspect of “The CEOs” is to lead by example. Hughes used timeliness and humility to illustrate this precedent,

saying that it sets a larger standard for all, as well as a tone of respect.

“It’s vital for a leader to set the example that he or she encourages honest opinion, welcomes disagreement and expects the truth,” Hughes said.

Last was the topic of optimism.

Although it is hard to stay optimistic in a polarized time, Hughes said Americans should turn it into action for the greater good of all.

“You can develop clarity; you can harness the power of example and optimism, and I hope you will use them to make a difference in the lives of others,” Hughes said.

Following Hughes’ lecture, she answered of the audience’s questions about her experiences in the White House and how to remain optimistic in a cynical environment.

“I think our politics would be a lot better off if, instead of demonizing our opponents, we tried to look for something good that they were doing,” Hughes said.

Hughes was introduced by ISU President Steven Leath, who spoke of how important lecturers like Hughes are for a university like Iowa State. “[Hughes] is adding tremendously to the experience of our students while they’re here,” Leath said, “especially the young women that are here at Iowa State.”

Hughes’ lecture was the 24th lecture sponsored by the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics through the Mary Louise Smith Chair in women and politics.

The Women’s Leadership Series and Committee on Lectures, funded by the Government of the Student Body, were also sponsors of the presentation.

University makes Qualtrics available to all students

By Natalie.Whitis @iowastatedaily.com ISU students now have a new way to complete and make online surveys.

The university recently obtained a campuswide license to use a survey program called Qualtrics. Many colleges and departments have been using this program already, but for the first time, the entire university can access it.

Mike Lohrbach, senior systems analyst for Information Technology Services, played a large role in obtaining the license. He said Qualtrics will give students many options for making or taking surveys.

“The tool has a lot of capabilities,” Lohrbach said. “It’s got a lot of templates built in. The ability to survey using multiple choice questions, satisfaction sliders, you can even display three imag-

es and pick your favorite image.”

Lohrbach also said Qualtrics has superior reporting compared to other survey tools.

“It integrates with other tools we have on campus, and it is single sign-on so you can use your regular student ID and password,” Lohrbach said.

Many colleges and departments have been using Qualtrics already.

“The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences was moving from a departmental license to a college license; the College of Agriculture and Life Science had a license; [the College of] Business had a license, and there were a couple small licenses here and there throughout,” Lohrbach said.

All together, these individual college licenses cost approximately $30,000.

Because the university was already paying for several Qualtrics licenses, Lohrbach and

his team negotiated with the company to get reimbursement before buying a universitywide license. Although the total cost of the license was $53,000, the university received $13,000 in credits to help pay for it.

Karla Embleton, program coordinator for human sciences administration, has experience

using Qualtrics.

“We have three different reasons for using Qualtrics,” Embleton said. “One is for classes, and one is for forms. ... If you want to apply for a program, somebody wants an exit survey, those kind of forms. And the third kind would be research projects.”

She noted that one advantage of Qualtrics is its accessibility.

Not only can everyone on campus use Qualtrics, but also “you don’t have to be a computer programmer to use this. It’s very nice,” Embleton said.

Lohrbach imagines the software having many applications.

He said student organizations could use it to poll their members, IT Services could use it to assess the level of interest for a particular kind of software and colleges could use it to discover what students want done each year.

Embleton also highlighted the help services Qualtrics offers to users.

“There’s a help tutorial, which goes back to the company’s website,” Embleton said. “[You] can all phone the number if you have questions. If they can’t answer you right away they phone you back. So it’s there, if you’re trying to figure out how to do something at 11:30 at night on your own.”

Although Qualtrics is currently being used for surveys and peer evaluations, Embleton can see it being used for homework and tests in the future.

“There are ways to generate a unique URL for each person so I can invite you to take it,” she said.

“The way we’re using it right now, we haven’t been worried about that security, but that’s one of the strong points about Qualtrics: ...

If you want to use those kinds of tools, you can.”

CyServe Day provides time to find volunteering opportunities

By Brian.Day @iowastatedaily.com CyServe Council will be holding its main fall semester volunteering activity, CyServe Day, this Saturday.

The main goal of CyServe Day is to gather student volunteers and make them aware of volunteering opportunities in the ISU and Ames areas. It also serves as a representation of the volunteer work that ISU students do for the Ames community.

“One of CyServe’s main goals is to aid in linking the Ames community to Iowa

State students through nonprofit organizations,” said Mike Stewart, events co-chairman of the CyServe Council.

In order to accomplish this, there will be a number of volunteer events on the ISU campus and throughout the Ames area available for students to participate as a part of CyServe Day. Such events include Keep Iowa State Beautiful, where students will split up into groups with each group covering a different section of campus and remove any trash they find.

Cards for Kids, another

popular event, allows students to help put together coloring books for children in need.

Food at First uses volunteers to help with a local food drive, these activities are only a few of the events that students can volunteer for.

“CyServe has done such a great job putting this event together over the past few months,” said Danielle Paris, graduate assistant for the Student Activities Center service programs.

“The student response to CyServe Day has been amazing.”

Along with the Food at First food drive, there is a second food drive event being put on with the help of the Daily called Stuff the Bus. For Stuff the Bus, three different CyRide buses will be placed at different grocery stores throughout Ames. People can buy groceries and donate them to a food drive by putting them on the bus. Eventually, the goal is to “stuff” all three buses with groceries, which will then be donated to Mid-Iowa Community Action Inc, a local food pantry.

Other events that might not draw as many volunteers, but are still important to the success of CyServe Day are ACCESS and Heartland Adult Day Center.

The Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support is a care center that provides support for victims of abuse. Volunteers will be assisting the staff of the care center with cleaning and organizing the kitchen, as well as doing general maintenance work outdoors.

Similarly, for Heartland Adult Day Center vol-

unteers they will be washing windows and helping clean the property of Heartland Senior Center of Story County.

CyServe Day provides students with volunteering experience that can benefit them in more ways than one.

“We’re going to make an incentive plan, so the more hours you volunteer, the more rewards you can get,” said Benjamin Jacobson, co-director of CyServe Council. “Getting outside and helping people out is always a great opportunity.”

>>LOSS p1 “I’ve got the privilege as the head football coach of this football program to face my players win or lose and look them in the eye and feel how proud I am of the work they put forth — the effort they gave tonight,” Rhoads said. “To make a play on the 1-yard line with their backs against the wall clear to everybody and have it taken away from them — that’s hard to express.

“You don’t just put an arm around a guy and tell him it’s OK when that happens to him. I’m so proud of the effort my kids gave to win this football game tonight.”

“He was trying to score a touchdown,” George said. “As a defender you don’t stop until you hear the whistle; the whistle never blew. The whistle never blew until I had the ball in my hands, and I was 30 yards down the field.”

Iowa State fell behind Texas 10-0 in the first quarter, but used two field goals from Cole Netten and an 11-yard touchdown reception from Aaron Wimberly to take a 13-10 lead. With four seconds to play in the first half, Texas quarterback Case McCoy found receiver John Harris in the end zone on a 44-yard desperation pass to take a halftime lead.

The Cyclones moved back ahead with 6:34 to play in the third quarter when ISU quarterback Sam Richardson found receiver Quenton Bundrage on a 97-yard touchdown, the longest passing play in ISU history. Texas responded, but Iowa State used a 20-yard run from Wimberly and another Netten field goal for a 30-24 lead.

Society tends to put people into a binary system of male or female when they are born, but biologically there is a spectrum between the two, called intersex, Freihoefer said. Intersex people have characteristics of both male and female. The Intersex Society of North America’s website, www.isna.org, has details on intersex persons.

Gender is the societal expectations put on people based on their biological sex, Freihoefer said. Gender and gender expression also falls along a spectrum as opposed to the binaries that society tries to put people in.

Angela Garrison, counseling intern said she did Safe Zone 101 because she thinks it is important to create a safe space for LGBT students on campus.

During the second half of the training, Freihoefer led the trainees through six scenarios that either ISU students or students who attend similarly sized schools have faced.

“I wanted more knowledge to be able to help them,” Garrison said. The training gave her good ideas on how to help LGBT students and pointed out the complexity of the problems they face, Garrison said.

Schneider said the training helped her be aware of resources for LGBT students.

Tattoo bearers deal with unfair discrimination from employers

By Zachary.Neuendorf @iowastatedaily.com

File: Jonathan Krueger/Iowa State Daily

While many ISU teams, such as gymnastics, don’t have the audience of football, those smaller sports offer just as much excitement.

Small sports also deserve our affection No amount of school spirit can change the fact that, sometimes, our beloved ISU football team doesn’t do so well.

It is admirable that, despite wins or losses, we continue to flock to Jack Trice’s parking lot to tailgate each game day. We shouldn’t stop doing so, for what is a football team without its dedicated fans?

However, as a student body, we need to acknowledge that there are other ISU teams that deserve our devoted attention.

Our gymnastics team gets attention when the Olympics roll around, but many students forget about it soon after.

Cross-country and track teams (for men and women) are similarly disregarded; even women’s basketball could do with a larger fan base. Additionally, it is probably a safe bet to say that some students don’t even know we have men and women’s golf teams, let alone women’s tennis, swimming and diving, and softball.

With more students than ever, there was a frenzy once football tickets for the 2013 season went on sale. Those tickets, as well as tickets for men’s basketball, sold out almost immediately.

But football and men’s basketball are just two of our 16 ISU varsity sports.

You can save a lot of money by choosing sports that you actually enjoy watching and cheering on, rather than simply the most popular sports. Most women’s volleyball games have free admission for students, and the price for nonstudent adults is as low as $5 per game. Surely this is an affordable amount for the majority of the Ames community.

If football and basketball are your cup of tea, then by all means don’t hesitate to cheer them on. But volleyball, for example, doesn’t receive the publicity and glory that football does, but the team definitely deserves it. Our team’s season record currently sits at 7-4, having already defeated rivals like Iowa and Nebraska.

The recent successes of the team have definitely drawn a larger crowd, but Hilton Coliseum is by no means full. And to any fan of team sports, the games are exciting: Volleyball has all the fast-paced action and aggression that appeals to spectators of sports like basketball and football.

Another minimally supported sport doing well this year is women’s crosscountry. For those whose passions lie in the long, even strides of the runner rather than the quick action of team sports, crosscountry is the team to watch.

ISU golf is equally in need of support. Though early in the season, it looks as if the men’s team could do great things.

These sports, whether successful or not, could do with a little more student passion.

We have many teams that are more successful than our football team. And whatever your interests or your passions, there is surely an ISU sport to draw you in. The wild elements of tailgating are fun, but there are countless other sports which have unique charms of their own.

Remember that having pride in ISU sports doesn’t mean just supporting the football team or supporting the teams who consistently win. The lesser-known sports at Iowa State are just as entertaining to watch, and you can support your school while lessening the burden on your bank account.

“D

on’t judge a book by its cover.”

Adults tell kids this at the beginning of elementary school to teach them they cannot determine whether they will like the story that the book tells from the cover. As children grow up, this phrase becomes a metaphor for how skin color, height, weight and other appearance factors are no way to determine the character and value of a person.

It is illegal for employers to fire or not hire an individual based on race, sex and religion, but there is no such guideline for one particular characteristic: tattoos. Before I get branded for extreme ignorance for even comparing race, sex and religion (all pardoned, or at least federally protected traits) to tattoos — yes, I know the apparent similarities are slim to none, but what they represent is not all that different.

Even though nearly impossible to change, inborn characteristics — or whatever someone chooses to take place of those traits — represent a part of an identity. In an ideal world, this identity fragment would be met with self-acceptance and pride.

Skin ink symbolizes a similar aspect of someone’s identity; it is just done in a louder, more focused fashion.

Yes, a tattoo has the ability to sew a piece of some-

one’s soul on to their flesh, but even then it can be used as a weapon against him or her. I am not saying this is unfair, for it all is within the context of the tattoo. If the design is offensive or vulgar without proper defense explaining otherwise, then yes, that should permit employment limitation.

However, in more cases than not, the design is a harmless form of expression that many workplaces require be hidden by clothing or makeup. Even more disheartening, corporations can still cite this as a reason not to hire an individual, regardless of other markers of proficiency.

So, why the stigma?

Throughout various eras of history, tattoos have been seen as strictly for sailors or menacing, leather-clad biker dudes. Since then, the view for some has barely shifted.

For those people, tattoos of any conviction are still seen as a stamp of immaturity, immorality, and disrespect to the body that will be regretted once the age of wrinkling is reached and gravity forces the former masterpiece to take a completely different configuration.

What tattoos have actually grown to represent — to me, most of my generation, and a fair amount of adults — is nothing short of beautiful. They can display a vulnerability we are too timorous to reveal through spoken word. They can document milestones we

Jonathan Krueger/Iowa State Daily

Despite the increasing popularity of tattoos, many employers still discriminate against potential employees who have tattoos.

value too much to risk to be forgotten. They can be mysterious to make the host an enigma, who becomes accustomed to others curiously asking: “What exactly does it mean?” They can even be silly reminders that life is not all that serious.

A rising trend is for brand-new 18-year-olds to get inked up, not in an act of rebellion against the system, but as a way of shedding old skin. For many, the tattoo allows a buried part of identity to finally rise to the surface.

I will admit to partial bias on the subject, for I have taken part in my generations’ movement in biting the stick and suffering the needle for a little bit of external expression.

For me, the immortality of the imprint presented no anxiety; it was instead the fact that this small, inoffensive triangle tattoo could possibly cost me a job. After considering the potential consequences for a

bit, I boldly settled that if an employer were to discriminate against my rudimentary shape and thus, against me, then that work environment wouldn’t be a good fit for me anyway.

Though still fresh, I could not be prouder of my ink. I love explaining to bewildered bystanders the complex concept of getting a triangle because it represents minimalism and through that simplicity it actually represents everything in the world, but then turning around and telling my close friends I got a triangle because they look cool.

Hopefully, a majority of tattoo owners view their designs as extensions of themselves and adore the tale they tell, whether silly or serious.

Remember what you learned as a kid — don’t judge a book by its cover.

But if the cover happens to be intriguingly decorated, you might want to pick it up and learn the story.

Writers need readers to fuel discussion

By Alexander.Maxwell @iowastatedaily.com

I

want to express gratitude for the recent column published in the Daily explaining why articles such as this are written. I am certain this appreciation is shared by all individuals who were fortunate enough to have read it.

I read the article twice, not only because I knew how important it was, but because I knew it would change the way I act. It will be surprising to most readers to learn this about me, but I am not just someone who writes articles, I am also someone who reads them. This allows me to understand how difficult it is to be a reader of the Daily, and that article was a sobering reminder of how we sometimes fail to keep our promises to those who possess the gift of using words to create sentences that express thought.

Though we try our best,

life as a common reader can be challenging. For example, to show appreciation to writers, readers have the duty of replying to the things they read. Usually, more response from readers can be considered an indication that the piece was enjoyed by many people. Unfortunately, sometimes readers do not make many comments on an article. While this might seem to indicate no one actually cared about (or even read) the piece, it is sometimes because it was so incredibly well-written they have been silenced by the raw power of the writer’s wisdom. It is simply impossible to argue with perfect writing.

However, there are times when readers do actually fail to maintain their place in the writer-reader relationship.

Papers that have been picked up by potential readers are later forgotten all across campus, and sometimes replacement copies are not obtained.

This is why written newspapers are losing popularity.

Luckily, due to the generous hard work and compromises the Daily has made, these careless readers are still able to give worth to the words of writers by reading their compositions online.

Leaving a newspaper behind is a minor infraction when compared to other acts of neglectful readership.

On rare occasions, readers can surprisingly forget the responsibility they have to understand the writer’s perspective. It is common for us as writers to forget to remind readers that they are expected not only to read whatever we write, but to care deeply about the subject matter. As a writer, I am fully aware that if my opinions and ideas are not heard by others, they are invalid. Simply put, readers have no right to deny us their attention. Once they start to read the article, they have made a commitment to read it entirely, regardless of how interesting it is.

Not only do bad readers act unethically, they might

actually cause themselves serious intellectual harm.

Being a less-than-perfect reader denies a person the chance to learn and think better. Without writers expressing their viewpoints, we would not understand others’ perspectives. Reading what others have to say educates us, and most new ideas are from writers. If a writer is willing to share his or her opinion with us, that is a gift we must not refuse.

In the end, writers do not write for their own enjoyment; they write because they rightfully expect their words to be read and appreciated.

Readers must never forget this. As I read that article, I realized that it was meant to make me feel ashamed as a reader — and it did. After finishing it, I realized that the feelings I had of annoyance and anger should be directed toward myself, and not, as I and many others had originally assumed, the author. He was only reminding us of how we have failed him as readers.

Letter to the editor

Our consumption changes with technology Hao Yu and Shane Christenson are both seniors in finance.

Within the last decade, our society has seen a tremendous increase in consumption of information technology. New innovations and improvements in the products that we purchase have much value to us as consumers.

Technological advancements add convenience to our lives and make difficult tasks easier to accomplish.

A significant component of our increased technology consumption, especially recently, is the development of smartphones. These devices have multiple capabilities and are able to download thousands of applications that increase

their functionality. Smartphones allow users to access endless amounts of information from their pocket at any time. Whether it is email, social media or surfing the Web, it is all accessible within seconds.

Recent progress of smartphone apps has led to apps that assist people with disabilities live their lives more fully. One example of this is an app that helps blind people shop by taking a picture of the product and then reading the product’s name to the user. Clearly, this kind of innovation is helpful for people with disabilities and leads to an inclusive society.

However, consumers are checking their smartphones so often throughout the day that technology might actually be consuming us. Users of smartphone

technology feel a need to be connected to the world around them, and be immediately notified of digital communication. Consider this quote from John Dyer in his blog “Don’t Eat the Fruit”: “Specifically, one area that I often struggle in properly disciplining is avoiding unnecessary email and social media checks when I’m home with my family.

Sometimes when I pull out my phone ‘just to check the time,’ I find myself wanting to check various apps and clear out unread items.”

Smartphones offer many capabilities to the consumer, and like any other technology, they add convenience to our lives. However, smartphones could actually be a detractor from living a more enjoyable life.

Iowa State attempts rebound after tough loss

Brian Achenbach/Iowa State Daily

ISU forward Hayley Womack maneuvers inside Western Illinois’s 18-yard box Aug. 27 in Ames. Womack said the Cyclones will use their recent losses as motivation for their two-game weekend.

By BeauBerkley @iowastatedaily.com Two losses on the opening weekend of conference play might look bad on paper, but Hayley Womack can look past that.

After being down 2-0 against Texas Tech last Friday, the Cyclones (6-6, 0-2 Big 12) bounced back with less than 10 minutes left in the second half after Haley Albert put home a header off of a Jennifer Dominguez corner kick. In the end, the Red Raiders held off the ISU attack, which ended the match with 11 of Texas Tech’s 12 shots on frame.

“There was a big crowd, and we were all pumped up to play, so it was a hard loss to take, and we’re still kind of pissed off about it, so we just want to go in and get

Weekend matchups Kansas vs. Iowa State ■■ When: 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4 ■■ Where: Cyclone Sports Complex ■■ Who: Kansas (5-5-1) Iowa State vs. Drake ■■ When: 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 6 ■■ Where: James W. Cownie Soccer Park ■■ Who: Drake (2-7-2)

a win in the conference and just kind of build to the last couple of games,” Womack said. “We have to try and put it in our past, but we can also use it to take out on Kansas a little bit.”

Putting last weekend in the rearview, Iowa State is set to welcome Kansas on Friday at the Cyclone Sports Complex. The Cyclones have not defeated the Jayhawks (5-5-1) since 2010, losing by a combined score of 10-2 in the last two years.

Against Texas Tech, ISU coach Wendy Dillinger said the unorthodox formation gave her team some problems early on and is something she will try not to let happen against the Jayhawks.

“They really utilize the space and stretch the backline, so the key for us is to force play to one side of the field, keep it compact and don’t let them switch it on us,” Dillinger said. “Also knowing who their key players are, shutting them down and counterattacking when we win the ball.”

Also on the weekend slate is in-state

rival Drake. Last season, Iowa State took home a win against the Bulldogs 3-0.

Since Drake is a smaller school than Iowa State, it can be easy for a Division I team to overlook a Bulldog team that has only notched two wins this season.

“They’re a smaller school, but never take a team lightly,” Womack said. “They’re from Iowa, so we want to make sure we get all the wins we can against Iowa teams and show them that we’re from the Big 12.”

Last season, Drake earned 11 wins en route to the Missouri Valley Conference Championship game.

“This year, they are doing well, but they aren’t getting the results they wanted,” Dillinger said. “In our sport, anything can happen, and it’s not always the best who wins.”

Momentum to carry ISU in matchup with Oklahoma

By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State Daily

Junior Sam Daley practices at the Cold Water Golf Field. The Cyclones will head to Baton Rouge this weekend to take on Louisiana State at the David Toms Invitational. The team expects many challenging features of the course, including several water hazards.

Team expects challenging greens at tournament in Baton Rouge

By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s golf team is set to compete in their penultimate tournament of the fall season at the David Toms Invitational.

The tournament is hosted by Louisiana State in Baton Rouge, La., and will take place at the University Club Golf Course, at which the Cyclones expect to find a challenging setup.

“It’s very demanding, especially around the greens. You have to have a really good short game, and it really rewards hitting smart shots,” said ISU coach Andrew Tank. “If you put yourself short-sided in a bad position around the greens, you can have a really awkward pitch or chip-shot.”

This tournament will mark the first time this season that the team has played on Bermuda grass, a type of grass prevalent in warmer climates. The difference between Bermuda grass and bent grass, which is more common in cooler climates, is most noticeable on the greens.

Bermuda grass features thicker blades of grass, leading to a grainier surface, which can alter how players read the greens and the speed of each particular putt.

“I’ve played all my golf [growing up] on Bermuda grass, and some of the other boys have played on Bermuda so it’s not too big of a difference,” said junior Sam Daley.

Although the team has yet to encounter Bermuda grass in competition this season, it is highly common in Australia and New Zealand, where three of Iowa State’s five starters call home.

Daley and freshman Ruben Sondjaja hail from Australia, and freshman Nick Voke is from New Zealand.

Daley also has experience at the University Club in 2011, finishing in a tie for 47th place in the LSU Invitational.

Aside from the grass, junior starter Scott Fernandez also mentioned how the course could prove challenging in that it features several water hazards and requires proper ball placement in order to succeed.

“The last few holes are pretty tough; you have to play really smart,” Fernandez said. “I think the team that wins this week is the team that keeps the most patience.”

Redshirt sophomore Collin Foster will round out the starting lineup for the Cyclones, who will be competing against 11 other teams, three of which are in the top 50 of the most recent Golfweek/ Sagarin rankings.

The tournament is named after current PGA Tour professional David Toms, 13-time PGA Tour winner and winner of the 2001 PGA Championship.

“I haven’t seen anything on the schedule saying he’s going to be, but I wouldn’t be surprised,” Tank said regarding if Toms would make an appearance.

Undefeated is a good place to be early in the conference season, and that’s just where the No. 25 ISU volleyball team is right now, and for the third time of the Christy Johnson-Lynch era. The Cyclones (8-4, 2-0 Big 12) have momentum in their favor as they get ready to travel to Norman, Okla. on Saturday for a match against Oklahoma (13-3, 1-1 Big 12).

Earlier this week when talking about both road matches against Texas Tech and Oklahoma, Johnson-Lynch said they would be focusing more on themselves rather than their opponents before each match.

“The other teams we’re going to see are not that unorthodox,” Johnson-Lynch said.

“We’re not going to see anything real different that I think we have to spend a lot of time preparing for. It’s going to be mostly us.”

In their last match, the Sooners were swept

by No. 4 Texas in Austin, Texas: 25-17, 25-21 and 25-19. Texas outside hitter Bailey Webster had 15 kills in the match and the Longhorns had a .319 hit percentage against the Sooners.

Oklahoma middle blocker Kierra Holst led the way offensively for the Sooners with 9 kills, but the Sooners only managed a .174 hitting percentage against the Longhorns. The Sooners were also out-blocked by the Longhorns 8-4.

The Cyclones are coming off of their secondstraight conference sweep with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-12, 25-13) win over Texas Tech in Lubbock. ISU sophomore Mackenzie Bigbee

No. 2 Mackenzie Bigbee spikes the ball during Iowa State’s 3-2 win against Northern Iowa on Sept. 4 in Cedar Falls. The Cyclones, 2-0 in Big 12 play, face Oklahoma this weekend.
