The Department of Education confirmed it is reviewing Marquette under the Clery Act, investigating the procedures followed by the university after allegations of sexual assault against several student athletes surfaced last semester. “As it has in other cases involving reports of sexual violence on college campuses, the U.S. Department of Education is conducting a paper program review of Marquette University relative to reporting required under the Clery Act,” said Kate Venne, director of university communication.

The Department of Public Safety released a news brief Monday alerting students to the increased enforcement. The brief warned students of possible fines ranging from $63 to $76 for violations, which include jaywalking and speeding. Director of University Communication Kate Venne advised students to comply with the officers, citing a concern for safety on the road and on crosswalks. “We want students to stay safe and that they follow all

Students helped plan The Hunger Task Force’s flah mob which was held before the first men’s basketball game.

Participants danced to raise awareness for poverty and hunger By Simone Smith simone.smith@marquette.edu

With the holiday season just around the corner, philanthropic organizations are getting creative to garner donations for those in need. Such was the case last Friday night when the Hunger Task Force — an organization that combats hunger in Wisconsin through food banks — performed a flash mob to the Michael Jackson song, “Beat It.” The dance served to launch the Hunger Task Force’s larger “Text Out Hunger” initiative. Dominic Mertens-Pellitteri, a senior in the College of Communication, helped organize the flash mob. He is an intern at Jigsaw, a creative advertising company in downtown Milwaukee. The interns at Jigsaw make up an internled group called Orangeaid, where they lend creativity to various projects. Mertens-Pellitteri said the purpose of Friday’s flash mob was to raise awareness, as well as to help the Hunger Task Force get higher involvement from college students. “As we went along (with planning) we realized that some

Robbery suspect shot dead Milwaukee Police shot and killed a robbery suspect Friday in a parking lot behind a George Webb restaurant on Old World 3rd St. after the suspect robbed the Guarantee Bank in Grand Avenue Mall. According to Anne Schwartz, spokeswoman for the Milwaukee Police Department, Shante D. Alford, 34, was shot and killed instantly by a member of MPD after firing at pursuing of-

ficers. Alford, who was on parole for robbing the same bank 10 years ago, robbed the bank at gunpoint and began to walk down 3rd St. When police surrounded the area and confronted Alford, he fled. Officers pursued Alford on foot and called for him to stop. Alford then turned and fired at officers, who returned fire. Police had been on alert for

activity from Alford after he was suspected in a robbery of the M&I Bank at 7501 W. North Ave. in Wauwatosa on Sept. 28 and the U.S. Bank at 2303 N. Farwell Ave. on Wednesday, Nov. 9. The incident is being investigated by the Criminal Investigation Bureau and the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office, following standard procedure.

West Hollywood bans fur First ban on clothes and accessories in U.S. upsets designers By Andrea Anderson andrea.anderson@marquette.edu

Animal rights activists are 1-0 against high-end retailers in West Hollywood after the city council voted 3 to 1 to pass the United States’ first ban on the sale of fur. Last Tuesday’s vote prohibits the sale of accessories and clothing from the pelt or skin of animals with wool, fur and hair. However, the law exempts leather and fur used in furniture. The ban on fur was first approved unanimously in September 2011 but needed modifications before a final vote. Previous votes were held during two separate council meetings, but after the approval in September, community businesses expressed opposition. Councilman John D’Amico introduced the ban and said few businesses would be affected.

Frontier has lost millions in the last several years and is looking to streamline its flight schedule in Milwaukee.

International Airport. Frontier lost $4 million for the quarter, which ended Sept. 30, due in large part to the $10 million in expenses incurred from a hailstorm in Denver that damaged planes and cancelled hundreds of flights. The airline also lost $5 million in fuel hedges, or the attempt to lock in the cost of future fuel prices, and $4.3 million in expenses related to fleet changes, according to the Republic Airways Third Quarter 2011 Financial Results Report. Patricia Rowe, marketing and public relations manager at Mitchell International Airport, said that while it is never desirable to hear about reductions in air service, Frontier has said the

reductions are necessary to return the company to profitability. “There is continued strong demand for air travel in southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, but Frontier has said it needs to adjust its service level in response to economic pressure,” she said. “There are many changes and mergers occurring in the airline industry as airlines cope with rising expenses and fuel costs while airfares remain as low as they were 40 years ago.” The changes and downsizes can be seen in larger airlines as well, such as American Airlines, based in Texas. “My dad has seen a lot of pilots retiring early, so they can get the most out of their retirement benefits,” said Benjamin Valle, a

sophomore at Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, whose father, Capt. Charles Valle, has been a pilot with American Airlines for more than 30 years. Five years ago, when the failing economy made the future of American Airlines uncertain, Valle’s father sold insurance as a side job to increase his income. He has since returned to flying full-time, unlike many pilots of the younger generation. “My dad has said that airlines are having a difficult time getting new pilots to fly for them,” Valle said, “Many airlines now make it easier for pilots to get their licenses by reducing the number of flight hours needed.”

He said the

university is very careful about documenting and collecting data. “The federal requirements for reporting incidents on university campuses are outlined in the Clery Act,” Venne said. “Marquette fully complies with this law.” Pauly said the university will address any issues raised in the review. “We never know what to expect until we find the final review,” Pauly said. “We’ve tried very hard to be in compliance.”

Bridget’s life skills: Tackling Potowatomi

Fed up with Walker

Bridget Gamble On 11/11/11, Las Vegas received triple the average number of marriage applications. For 11:11, everyone had an epic 60-second plan in place. One New York woman planned to walk into Diane von Furstenberg and ask for a job. Less ambitious women just wanted to kiss their boyfriends. The date was supposed to promise luck, and like everyone else under the spell of superstition, I wanted to reap the benefits. It only took me a few seconds to figure out where I needed to be: Potowatomi. My friend and fellow columnist, Ian — a self-described borderline gambling addict — agreed to show me the ropes. Having just turned 21 in July, and harboring a lifelong disinterest for poker prior to that, my experience with gambling has been limited to sliding crinkly singles into slot machines and never seeing them again. Help was needed — and appreciated. The first order of business was an ATM withdrawal. Per casino trip, this transaction should happen once and only once and should cost no more than $40. Trust me. Once on the casino floor, Ian rushed to a roulette table; apparently over the summer, he bet $100 in a game of roulette and doubled his money. That’s a pretty attractive outcome, especially when the only other possibility is a total loss. But the odds didn’t tempt me, so I just observed. In roulette, you bet on either black or red. Ian swears by betting exclusively on black, because it narrows his focus on “when to bet, not what to bet.” But the table he played at was on a red streak, so the table attendant advised him, to no avail, “play by the streak.” Ian lost. Lesson learned: Take the house advice. Next, I insisted on a round of slot machines. I picked the first machine that caught my eye, one named Kitty Glitter. I lost $8. End of that story. • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV • Watch MUTV •

Blackjack is the game I was most interested in learning, because it seemed to promise better than 50-50 odds like in roulette, and it requires more skill than pressing a button. We hovered over a $10 table long enough for a casino employee to notice and open up a $5 table for us, dealt by Roger, a middle-aged Filipino man. It wasn’t long before every seat was taken. In a matter of minutes, Jean, an elderly woman, was setting her Pepsi down next to me and laying twenties on the table. “Oh, Roger,” she sighed after losing a hand. “You’re so goddamn lucky.” In blackjack, you’re essentially playing against the dealer. With each hand, you can bet however many chips you’d like to either double or lose, and whoever’s three cards add up to 21 first, wins. To no surprise, it’s usually the dealer. I asked Jean how long she’s been gambling. “Today, or altogether?” she asked. “Altogether,” I laughed. “For years,” she said. She’s been to Vegas 25 times. “My friends play the slots, but I don’t,” she told me. “Blackjack is more social.” I hadn’t thought about it, but Jean was right. There’s something sad about sitting alone at a slot machine and squinting at losing numbers flashing in front of you. There’s no human element or illusion of control. So if you must try the slot machines, sit at a nickel machine for no more than two minutes. After I broke even at the blackjack table, Ian and I decided to call it a day, leaving the smoky sphere of ding-ding-dings and dice behind the automatic doors. I was pretty dispirited with my lack of luck, I must admit. “You’ve just got to have a philosophy in place,” Ian told me. “Mine is that everything is in my control, that my decisions determine the game. That may not be true, but it’s nice to think.” You might be able to maintain that philosophy in ordinary places, but casinos are not ordinary places. They are worlds of their own where the only rule is to trust your gut and test your luck — a practice that, as suggested by the popularity of the Vegas wedding chapels on 11/11/11, might be valuable beyond your final fold at the blackjack table. bridget.gamble@marquette.edu

Dear Editor: Wisconsin has long been regarded as a progressive state. Wisconsinites were among the first to champion workers’ compensation, equal employment protections for minorities and collective bargaining for public employees. Even though progressive policies have reigned supreme for years, it is clear that they are under attack by Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature. As students and Wisconsin residents, it is crucial we understand the impact that Gov. Walker’s policies will have on our day-to-day lives. Women are especially vulnerable to attack from Walker and his right-wing cronies. From slashing funding for cervical and breast cancer screenings, to forbidding insurance companies to cover birth control, Walker has waged war on the reproductive health of women and the men that love them. His cuts disproportionately discriminate against women, students, urban residents and people of color, and the Milwaukee area has been one of the hardest hit in the state throughout his terms as county executive and governor. Young adults are not immune from Gov.

Walker’s draconian cuts, either. Those enrolled at state universities and technical colleges can expect their tuition bills to rise drastically as the resources these institutions have long enjoyed are eliminated. Additionally, these cuts will result in the overall quality of public higher education in Wisconsin suffering as high-quality professors leave for institutions with more competitive compensation. Finally, Walker and the legislature recently passed one of the nation’s most restrictive voter ID bills that threatens the voting rights of every Marquette student. Fed up? You should be. Wisconsin and its young people simply cannot afford to continue riding the runaway train that is Scott Walker’s administration. Please join me and hundreds of thousands of my fellow Wisconsinites in signing the petition to recall Scott Walker. The drive starts November 15. Together, we can make Wisconsin a state we can be proud of once again. Bill Neidhardt Member of Marquette University College Democrats Junior, College of Arts & Sciences

Experiences Unite: Interdisciplinary Studies at Marquette Peace, Gender studies offer new academic majors

By Leah Todd

leah.todd@marquette.edu

There are 1,682 business majors at Marquette. There are 1161 undergraduate students enrolled in engineering programs, and the College of Communication’s undergraduate enrollment is currently at 947. But what if a student is searching for a program that is not one of the 210 academic majors established and offered at Marquette? Interdisciplinary majors target this crowd of self-motivated, creative individuals wanting to integrate a number of academic areas into their studies. Two relatively new interdisciplinary programs — Women’s and Gender Studies and Peace Studies — have recently graduated their first majors from the College of Arts & Sciences.

Women’s and Gender Studies: More than just feminism

Amelia Zurcher is the director of the Women’s and Gender Studies program, which graduated its first major in 2009.

Amelia Zurcher, associate professor of English and director of the Women’s and Gender Studies program, emphasizes that WGST has moved beyond mere feminism. “People automatically assume that WGST means eating disorders and sexual violence, but there are very few international issues that aren’t gendered in some way,” Zurcher said. WGST focuses not just on one idea of feminism, but many different feminisms, gender and a variety of disciplines and experiences uniting to examine and address this multi-faceted issue at play in our society, Zurcher said. “We are so far past feminism,” Zurcher said. “We are, like, 30 years past feminism.” As an interdisciplinary major, WGST stresses intersectionality — the intersection of different fields of study to understand our world. “Gender intersects with lots of different categories — religion, class, economic status, age,” Zurcher said. “Everyone has gender. It’s a basic way of understanding the world and our identity and of organizing our experiences. We can’t understand how power operates in our society unless we understand gender issues.”

that they are motivated by social justice issues,” Duffey said. The Peace Studies major includes classes in communication, theology, economics and philosophy. An introductory course exposes students to theories, practices and important figures of peacemaking, and, in a senior capstone course, students summarize the importance of three areas of peace studies: peacebuilding theory and practice; power, justice and human rights; and social and economic development. Duffey, who was a member of the Peace Corps in Nepal and has taught in the subject area of peace and justice for 30 years, said almost every student in the program studies abroad. Marquette alumnus and 2010 peace studies major Mike Ziegler spent the spring 2009 semester in Cape Town, South Africa with Marquette’s Service Learning program. “(My peace studies major) was one of the reasons why I went to South Africa, just because South Africa has such a rich history in the actuality of peacemaking,” Ziegler said. “So it was interesting for me to go there — a place I had learned a lot theoretically about — and have the lived experience.” Ziegler completed his peace studies major with an emphasis in theology, taking about six theology classes, along with courses in economics and political science. “I had such a broad spectrum of interests, but I found the common thread to be what I understood to be acts of justice,” Ziegler said. “There wasn’t necessarily a certain major that addressed everything I was interested in.” So Ziegler worked with Duffey to draft a proposal for a peace studies major. “Dr. Duffey was always very supportive of me and did make sure I had thought out the courses I had chosen,” Ziegler said. An interdisciplinary major was custom-fit to not only Ziegler’s interests, he said, but to his whole person. The peace studies program gave Ziegler the flexibility and broad base of courses he would need “to seek a more creative career path.” “That’s how I came to be where I am now,” Ziegler said. After graduating, Ziegler worked for nine months at a Catholic Worker farm in Sheepranch, Calif. that was also a retreat center for people with HIV. Ziegler currently lives in

Detroit, and is collaborating with a peace studies graduate from Notre Dame and an anthropology major from University of Cincinnati to establish Henry Tula House, a daytime hospitality center for Detroit’s homeless. “After discussions of our personal passions and our backgrounds, (they) thought I’d be a good fit for their organization and asked if I wanted to come on as a founding member,” Ziegler said. “I really believe it was a lot of my peace studies that formed me as a person they were able to approach (for this project).” Ziegler said his peace studies major helped him realize that people were at the center of his personal workings for justice. “My peace studies major taught me how to work compassionately with other people,” Ziegler said. “And now I have the opportunity with Henry Tula to build relationships with beautiful people that will bring about a more peaceful environment.” Duffey speaks just as passionately about peaces studies, saying, “It’s in my blood.”

Michael Duffey teaches the introductory course for the Justice and Peace Studies minor, offered at Marqutte since 2005. The Peace Studies major is expected to be approved this semester.

Like Duffey, Novotny was forever changed by her interdisciplinary Women’s and Gender Studies degree. “It challenged me in so many ways I would have never thought about,” Novotny said. “It exposed me to new and important information, and left me with a set of tools to approach things from a new perspective.” For students like Campbell, Novotny and Ziegler, and program directors like Zurcher and Duffey, interdisciplinary education is, by definition, for the whole person. “We’re recognizing the world needs interdisciplinary expertise,” Zurcher said. “Interdisciplinary studies are especially suited for a Jesuit mission. Social justice issues are extremely multifaceted, and we need lots of different perspectives all at once.” Caroline Campbell contributed to the reporting in this story.

The No. 19/21 Marquette Golden Eagles (2-0) forced 25 turnovers or more for the second straight game en route to a 99-68 victory over Norfolk State (0-1). “We’re guarding the ball first and then being in the right position if one of our men gets beat to the channel,” senior forward Jae Crowder said. “Just being in the right position and playing great team defense is helping us create a lot of turnovers.” The Golden Eagles were led by Crowder’s game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds – Marquette’s second game featuring

a player with a double-double (junior guard Junior Cadougan had 10 points and 10 assists in the opener). Marquette had 46 points in the paint for the game and Crowder was the producer of many of them. “As the game went on we knew that the middle and the paint would be open for our big guys and for us create some driving lanes and finish at the basket,” Crowder said. “We knew it was eventually going to happen so we wanted to execute it.” Not to be left out of the 20 point bracket, senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom added 24 of his own and was three rebounds shy of his preseason goal of five rebounds and assists per game. “He can score in a lot of different ways for us.

Vander Blue understood the scrutiny surrounding him after a disappointing freshman campaign. But just two games into his sophomore campaign, it’s apparent that Blue is out to turn doubters into believers. A highly-touted recruit of of high school, Blue averaged just 5.0 points per game in 19 minutes as a freshman and was nearly invisible on the offensive end during the Big East season. His confidence lacked and Blue admitted his head wasn’t in the right spot during games. But Blue has shown a new focus Photo courtesy of Dylan Huebner

Forcing Badger errors key to Golden Eagle victory Will look to balance offense with inside and outside attack By Trey Killian robert.killian@marquette.edu

The women’s half of the Wisconsin-Madison vs. Marquette basketball rivalry is set for tonight at the Al McGuire Center as the Golden Eagles (2-0) look to beat the Badgers (1-1) for the second consecutive year. “Coming in we know Wisconsin’s going to have a lot of extra intensity because we beat them last year,” junior forward Sarina Simmons said. “This is a big in-state rivalry game for bragging rights.” Wisconsin is reeling after an 80-63 loss to Oral Roberts in its home opener, while the Golden Eagles struggled to pull off a 69-61 win over Mississippi Valley State Saturday. Junior do-it-all guard Taylor Wurtz leads the Badgers in scoring and rebounding with a combined 32 points and 29 boards in Wisconsin’s

first two games, presenting a sizable challenge to an inexperienced Marquette backcourt. “She has big rebounding numbers as a guard, and they’ve outrebounded each of their opponents by double digits,” sophomore guard Gabi Minix said. “That makes her a big focus for us because we’re always looking to out-rebound our opponents with our size.” Against a Badger team that was outscored 32-20 in the paint against Oral Roberts, the Golden Eagles will once again hold an advantage in size under the basket. They will need to improve from their last performance, however, as Marquette scored 26 points in the paint but allowed a much smaller Devilettes team 42 rebounds to its 48. “One of our big focuses in this week’s practices was pushing back and bulking up on defensive rebounding,” sophomore forward Katherine Plouffe said. “We’re going to see teams that are taller than us or as tall as us in the Big East, and we’ve got to work on not giving up easy offensive boards before we get into conference play.” Minix and freshman guard Ar-

lesia Morse will get their opportunities to score as well, as the Badgers’ backcourt struggled defensively, giving up 49 total points against Oral Roberts. Morse is coming off a breakthrough performance after hitting three 3-pointers in Saturday’s game, while Minix dished out nine assists despite committing seven turnovers. “I feel like if we drive and kick we can play to our strengths,” Minix said. “This is a big game where you want to get into a groove to prepare yourself for a taste of the what the Big East will be like.” Another key will be Marquette’s ability to force the Badgers to make mistakes, as Oral Roberts was able to convert 38 points off 31 turnovers against Wisconsin. Marquette surrendered more turnovers than they forced against the Devilettes, which Plouffe described as a “slip-up,” but the Golden Eagles have worked to sharpen their play this week to take advantage of the occasionally sloppy Badgers. “Our defensive focus in general is to not let the offense get comfortable by cutting off passing lanes and pressuring the ball handler,”

Plouffe said. Overall, from an offensive standpoint, Plouffe said the team would take a balanced approach, starting first and foremost with getting the ball into the paint to open up perimeter shooting lanes. “We’re just going to run our plays

and see what they give us. If our shooters are feeling it we’ll definitely feed them,” Plouffe said. “We always have a focus to get those quick post feeds and paint touches so they can collapse on us and we can get good shots outside as well.”

Sometimes sports do more harm than good Andrei Greska Sports are everything to me. And nothing. I have been a fanatic of a multitude of teams in my life, living and dying by final scores since I was old enough to talk. Ask my mom about how I cried myself to sleep at age 4 when Mexico lost to the U.S. in penalty kicks during the quarterfinals of the 1995 Copa America. Ask me about the Cubs’ epic 8th inning collapse to the Florida Marlins in the infamous Alex Gonzalez game of 2003. Ask me about

Maxi Rodriguez’s wonder-volley from 40 yards out to eliminate Mexico from the 2006 World Cup in Germany. I like to think I live sports in a way that few do. Losses crush me to a pulp. Wins lift up my very core. It takes events like the ones that occurred last week in Pennsylvania to put things into perspective. When it comes down to it, sports don’t mean squat. I won’t go into the details of what is going down at Penn State. There are millions of tweets and thousands of stories out there to educate you on the details. There’s also one excruciatingly graphic 23-page grand jury testimony, if you so choose. This column is not about the details. It’s about sports. And how we sometimes make them more important than they should be.

Don’t get me wrong, that’s not to say we shouldn’t root for our favorite teams, or that sports are a waste of time. That’s not what I’m saying at all. What I am saying is that sports should never become larger than life, or we risk them becoming more important than at least eight children who were victims of former Penn State coach Gerald Sandusky’s heinous crimes. It sounds much easier than it actually is, though. Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno knew this better than anyone else. A statue of Paterno outside of Beaver Stadium reads: “They ask me what I’d like written about me when I’m gone. I hope they write I made Penn State a better place, not just that I was a good football coach.” He gave $4 million of his own earnings to the school over that

time and helped raise over $13 million for an expansion to the library that bears his name. He truly lived what he preached and made football just a part of the collegiate experience. A coach as clean as there has ever been, who had been a head coach for 45 years without a sniff of a major violation, made a decision to put sports ahead of the truth by not taking the Sandusky matter into his own hands. He’s gone now. And rightly so. Paterno is not a bad person. He broke no laws. He simply made a decision to protect the reputation of his program and his former coach. The wrong decision, and he will forever pay the price for it. There are a number of young men who will never get a chance to live a normal life because of the mistakes made at Penn State. Let this be a warning to the

Marquette athletic department, which has had its fair share of negative publicity both due to last year’s unsavory sexual assault allegations and the subsequent suggestion that the university mishandled the cases. There is no substitute for the truth. The university did a good job of acknowledging the mistakes it made and how it is working on fixing those errors. It must stay this way. As much as it pains me to say it, Marquette athletics are not the heart and soul of the university. They may be its best public asset, but this institution is and should continue to be a place for l earning, first and foremost. Sports are a great way to escape from reality, but they must always come second — both at this university and in life. andrei.greska@marquette.edu

Home wins give MU best ever Big East record Good enough for No. 3 seed in Big East Tournament By Erin Caughey erin.caughey@marquette.edu

The 2011-’12 Marquette women’s volleyball team has set new standards for classes to come, finishing the season with its bestever conference record, 12-2 in the Big East. “I think we looked at last year’s season and said, ‘We’re breaking all these records, we’re setting these standards for our program,’ and this year we’re meeting and beating those standards,” coach Bond Shymansky said. “That’s a great thing for our program and that’s the whole idea. You get better and better and better as you go. You elevate your program’s status and your standards.” The Golden Eagles downed Notre Dame (15-11, 8-6 Big East) in three straight sets on Friday and repeated the equation in Sunday’s match against DePaul (7-22, 3-11 Big East). The Fighting Irish, ranked No. 2 in blocking in the Big East, struggled with their de-

fensive net presence, tallying only five blocks compared to Marquette’s eight. “I think a big part of the blocking schemes for us is really trying to focus on the correct attacker,” Shymansky said. “They (Notre Dame) had a couple really dynamic hitters, and I thought our blockers did a good job of staying on task.” Senior outside hitter Ciara Jones finished the weekend with 32 kills. She had a career game against Notre Dame posting an unbelievable .739 hitting percentage, pummeling the Irish’s defense for 18 kills in 23 attempts. “I just have to keep swinging,” Jones said. “Refocusing, I guess, is just to keep swinging, keep getting after it and just hit as hard as possible.” Both Notre Dame and DePaul had drastically lower hitting percentages than the Golden Eagles. The Irish finished with a .125 attack percentage and the Blue Demons, even lower, with a .065 average. Marquette holds the No. 2 spot in the Big East for hitting percentage at .254 overall. Sunday, DePaul overcame that deficit slightly, using Marquette’s errors to its advantage. The Golden Eagles had a total of 11 serving

errors to the Blue Demons’ one. “The little lapses of focus, at times, they don’t really frustrate me,” Shymansky said. “I thought our attention and our interest in the match was still super high, even though our performance wasn’t flawless.” Looking ahead to the Big East Championship tournament, senior outside hitter Ashley Beyer and Shymansky agreed the team will look to continue the same mentality. “We know that it’s going to be tough. It’s a tournament, so we all know that we have to come out and give it our all,” Beyer said. “When we play our best and play as a team, then we are ridiculous.” Although Beyer and Jones were honored during Sunday’s senior day, it was not the final game the two will ever play at the Al McGuire Center, as Marquette hosts the tournament this weekend. “A simple way to say it is we’ve got our ‘mojo’ right now, and we intend to keep it as we go into Big East play,” Shymansky said. The Golden Eagles are the No. 3 seed and will host Seton Hall Friday at 6 p.m. to kick off the postseason.

Madigan’s overtime golden goal beats Toledo Will now take on Penn State next in the round of 32 By Michael LoCicero michael.locicero@marquette.edu

Survive and advance. That is the mantra for any team, no matter who the opponent is come tournament time. That is exactly what the Marquette women’s soccer team (18-3-0) did Saturday night with its 1-0 overtime victory against Toledo (14-7-2). A golden goal from sophomore midfielder Taylor Madigan in the 97th minute sent the Golden Eagles to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they will play fourth-seeded Penn State in Winston-Salem, N.C., on Friday. “We’re happy, obviously, that we got the win, and I think on paper you always have to be cautious. But I think we knew how tough Toledo was based on the year that they had and know-

ing them and their personnel,” coach Markus Roeders said. “I thought they were quite efficient in what they were trying to do, but at the end of the day we came through when we needed it, and I think that shows the character of our team.” Marquette had a difficult time finding its groove in the first 45 minutes but came out energized in the second half. It had a few chances to end the game in regulation that were turned away by senior goalkeeper Vicki Traven. Roeders credited the offensive difficulties to a lack of game time. Marqutte has played three games in the last three and a half weeks. “As much as we practice, you can’t simulate game situations or how to do things in the game when you’re practicing,” Roeders said. “We had some decent chances, especially in the second half when we ramped it up a little more. “At the end of regulation, we had one of our best stretches because we settled down again and tried to connect, and out of our build-up came the throw-in that

ultimately led to the goal.” For Madigan, it was her second overtime game-winner this season, with the other coming in a 3-2 win over Notre Dame on Sept. 25. “We were all determined to score, and I just was there and finished it,” Madigan said. “We needed to score to win, and I had the best opportunity. I’m glad I could finish.” The game was reminiscent of the Golden Eagles’ 1-0 win over Central Michigan in the first round of the NCAA Tournament last season. Then-junior forward Rachael Sloan’s goal was the deciding factor in that game. Marquette dominated much of the game in the second half, firing six shots, including sophomore forward Maegan Kelly’s blast from the top of the 18yard box that was turned away by Traven. Madigan also had a chance from point-blank range later in the half but was again stonewalled by Traven. Eventually the Golden Eagles were able to break through, sending them into the second

round of the tournament for the second straight season. It is the sixth time that Marquette has advanced to the round of 32. “We’ve been here two times now (in overtime in the NCAA Tournament) so I was like ‘this is how it’s supposed to be,’” senior goalkeeper Natalie Kulla said. “I kind of knew we were going to score.”

“People have to understand that this is the NCAA Tournament, and you’re trying to survive and play your game and make it entertaining. But more than anything you’re trying to win and move on,” Roeders said. “The games aren’t going to get any easier, so if nothing else, I think this was a great test against a good team.”

Blue: Cements starter role

in Marquette’s first two wins of the season, filling up the box score with averages of 12 points, three rebounds, five assists and two steals. Blue led the Golden Eagles with four steals in a Friday night win over Mount St. Mary’s, beautifully reading passing lanes and deflecting a handful of other passes. Monday night it was his offense that spoke volumes, as Blue filled the box score with 14 points and a career-high six assists. Blue was aggressive on the break, drove to the basket with his mind set on scoring and connected on his first three pointer since Dec. 7 of last year. Williams said this season feels difference because of his guard’s maturity level. “He’s really matured,” Williams said. “I think that as you grow as a human you grow as a player. And as you struggle as a human, you struggle as a player. I absolutely love [Vander]. I’ve spent an incredible amount of time with him during his tenure so far, and I think there are really bright days ahead of him.” Senior forward Jae Crowder said

Blue’s progression began this summer, beginning with a new focus. “He knew he had a lot to improve on, so he just got in the gym and worked on a lot of stuff,” Crowder said. “Confidence wise, I knew it was going to be a great time for him to show everyone what he’s really about. His work ethic has really helped him out confidence wise, so everything else is falling into place for him.” Blue has started the first two games as the third guard with Junior Cadougan and senior guard Darius Johnson-Odom. There were rumors of Blue seeing time at point guard, but Williams said that, regardless of position, Blue’s role will stay the same. Because of Marquette’s “switchable” offense, all players outside of point guards and centers move around enough where Williams said, the description of positions don’t matter. Williams described this by referring to a question he asked his starting five in Monday’s win, asking them what position they played. “But I say, ‘No, you’re just really good players,’” Williams said.

SPORTS “What position has nothing to do with that. Can Vander initiate offense? Yes, but does that make him a point guard? I don’t know.” Still, the combined 10 assists through two games show that Blue’s versatility is shining through. Cadougan has firmly planted himself as the starting point guard and freshman Derrick Wilson has played well defensively, meaning Blue should continue to see time on the wing. Regardless of position, Williams said Blue’s improved focus will continue to have an impact on the team. “He’s a hard playing dude whose competitive aura impacts our team,” Williams said. “And you can see it. When he’s hooked up, not when he’s making baskets, but when he’s hooked up, it impacts, and it ripples down to the rest of our group.” And there’s a big difference between being 17 and 18. Especially when during that year you experience playing at the highest level and for the best league for the country, in your home state, where everyone thought that if the collective bargaining agreement would’ve been different you would’ve went straight to the league.

Crowder: Norfolk State hangs tough kept the lead in single-digits until the 4:21 mark of the first half through 3-pointers, making 5-of11 (45.4 percent) in the first 14:51 of play. Norfolk State finished the game shooting 45.8 percent from three (11-of-24) and 6-of-10 (60 percent) in the second half. In the second half Marquette built as large as a 25-point lead

It helps us out as a team.” It took Marquette 8:49 to build its first double-digit lead en route to its 91-37 victory over Mount St. Mary’s. But Monday, Norfolk State

with 12:20 left in regulation but allowed Norfolk State to break that into a 12 point lead with 7:06 left in regulation. “I thought it got ragged. We made a run, and I probably should have subbed some guys out,” coach Buzz Williams said. “As hard as we play it’s hard to play a long period of time on both ends

of the floor and be able to execute. I should have called a timeout when I sensed it was ragged. “When we’re out of sync on either end of the floor it typically leads to whatever end we’re on, the other end is about to get out of sync too. I know that. That’s how we play. And that’s how we work.” The strong shooting from three prompted Norfolk State

players to periodically sport the “three goggles” Marquette made famous last season. “I think they were mocking us. They usually don’t do that,” Crowder said. “I joked around with the couple of the guys and was saying, ‘you got to hit enough threes to do that. So you shouldn’t do that. You shouldn’t disrespect us like that.’ Just jokingly.”

Men exceed expectations on hill-ridden course Women finish two places behind team goal at Regionals By A. W. Herndon astead.herndon@marquette.edu

The Marquette men’s team surpassed its expectations and conquered a hill-ridden course en route to an eighth-place finish (out of 31) at the NCAA Great Lakes regional in Toledo, Ohio, its best finish since 2007. The men, who entered the race ranked 12th in the region, followed the leadership of seniors Blake Johnson (31:09.7), Peter Bolgert (31:12.6) and junior Jack Senefeld (31:30.8), who placed 37th, 38th and 51st overall, respectively. According to Senefeld, other teams came out running too hard with the extra excitement of a regional meet and he was proud that the Golden Eagles stayed within themselves. “Going into the race we all had the mindset that we needed to continue what we were doing all year,” he said. “Everyone kept calm and cool going into the race, and it worked out. We made sure we did the things that we wanted to do and paced ourselves well.” Coach Mike Nelson said the men’s team had isolated a few key teams that it wanted to beat, and achieved near perfection. Of the six teams it wanted to finish better than, Marquette bested four of them: Eastern Michigan, Michigan State, Purdue and Cincinnati. Butler and Central Michigan were the two that got away.

Nelson called it “the race within the race.” “Mentally, the men had the transition from 8k to 10k and it’s definitely a tougher challenge,” he said. “But we wanted to focus on the men’s side on running a smart, relaxed race … the teams that do well in racing, often times, are not those who pick it up, but those who just do not slow down.” Running focused and consistent was an even tougher challenge considering the conditions of the race. Although the weather was perfect, the uneven terrain

at Ottawa Park Golf Course presented a challenge for both the men’s and women’s races. Senior Carly Windt, who turned in a personal best of 22:11.9 for 79th place, believes that both teams did their best to compete. The women placed 17th in a field of 33 in a slightly more competitive field -- according to Nelson. “Some girls had their best races of the season, so we can’t blame it on the course,” Windt said. “But this was probably the hardest course we’ve had all year. It was hillier and that kind of

plays a bit of a factor.” This is the attitude Nelson has sought to instill in his runners — no excuses. “The course was hillier than I expected to be,” he said. “Combine that with the turns, and what we had all envisioned coming into the race wasn’t what we got. But that could only throw you off if you were weak-minded … we train on all kinds of different surfaces and areas around Milwaukee ... It’s all about competition.” Considering these factors, Nelson was adamant that he believes

that this weekend was the best performance for the women’s team, regardless of its finish. He said this remains the challenge in cross-country: you can run your best race and still have no control over your opponents. “Our goal was to finish in the top-15, but you cannot really control the other team,” Nelson said. “Even though we’re in a race with another team, all we can do is run our best race; and our women did that. We’re definitely on an upswing.”

2011-2012 Basketball Player Bios

4 Arlesia Morse, 5-10 G: Strength: She was a scoring machine in high school (26.3 points per game). In her short time at Marquette she’s displayed a shooting confidence that mirrors that of former guard Courtney Weibel. Weakness: She’s got good touch from beyond the arc, but needs to work on scoring from other spots on the floor. She will also have to improve her decision-making to cut down on turnovers.

5 Katie Young, 5-11 G: Strength: Young is a shooter. That’s what she does. We didn’t get much of a glimpse last year as she suffered a season-ending knee injury in February and averaged only 8.2 minutes per game when healthy. Weakness: We won’t see her until sometime in December or January while she continues to recover from her knee injury. She’s one of four players with previous Division I experience who should play this season.

24 Gabi Minix, 5-9 G: Strength: Strong ballhandler who studied under Marquette great Angel Robinson. Showed the ability to command her team in the exhibition opener and create a position for herself offensively. Weakness: Inexperience is her biggest flaw. She only averaged around 5 minutes per game last season. We don’t know how she’ll handle the grind a full Big East season as a starter.

Get to know. . . Fave Video Game? NCAa Football 12

13 Courtney Thomas, 6-0 F: Strength: Length is Tomas’ hidden gem in the post. At 6 feet, Thomas has the length and athleticism to disrupt shots inside — similar to Simmons, but at a lesser level. Weakness: She will miss the entire season with a torn ACL. It is a big blow to an extremely young Marquette team. Her injury will thrust the freshmen into an even larger role.

32 Lauren Tibbs, 6-4 C: Strength: Does an amazing job of creating position inside and could provide a nice offensive touch. She averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds per game her senior year of high school. Weakness: Finishing and leaping need improvement. In the exhibition against Carthage College, Tibbs shot 2-of10 from the field with all of those attempts coming within the lane battling against shorter players.

35 Cristina Bigica, 5-10 G: Strength: Athletisim like hers is built through experience. Unlike the other freshmen, Bigica has experience beyond the high school level. She was a member of the 2011 U-20 Romanian National team and averaged 11.2 points and 5.0 rebounds. Weakness: Watching Bigica in the exhibition match, her game didn’t flow. That may just be part of the feeling out process and getting used to new teammates.

22 Margeaux Dupuy, 5-6 G: Strength: Speed paired with killer ball-handling skills propells her game. Dupuy will get looks to back up Minix at the point. She leading Marquette in the fast break. Weakness: Confidence, offensively. Dupuy has looked tentative on offense. This is something that should evolve over time as she grows in coach Terri Mitchell’s system.

42 Sarina Simmons, 6-1 F: Strength: Is the best athlete on this Marquette team. She can jump out of the gym and knows how to use that athleticism on the defensive end. She’s a strong rebounder who can play inside and out. Weakness: She’s the most talented Marquette player but she’s also the most inconsistent. She has games where she looks like a top player in the Big East and games where spectators are left scratching their heads.

34 Chelsie Butler, 6-5 C: Strength: Much like Tibbs, she does an excellent job of creating position in the lane. She uses her 6-foot-4 frame to her advantage. Averaged 19.1 points and 10 rebounds per game as a senior in high school. Weakness: Needs to develop her offensive game more for Big East play. What we’ve seen so far is a very raw college talent with a great deal of potential.

21 Katherine Plouffe, 6-3 F: Strength: Can play inside and out, given her background as a guard before coming to Marquette. Is very long and uses that to make herself a talented rebounder. Weakness: Gets bullied underneath by bigger, more physical post players in the Big East. Like Simmons, Plouffe played in bursts last year. She needs to improve her consistency.

Jae Crowder

Fave Album? The Carter iv

Jay-Z or Wayne? Lil Wayne

20 Apiew Ojulu, 6-3 F: Strength: Very long and athletic big who can disrupt shots inside and battle with the best of them. Seems similar to what Sarina Simmons can do: not strictly a post player, but she can also wander outside of the lane to make plays. Weakness: Her free throw shooting has been inconsistent thus far and she has a tendency to foul when playing defense. Confidence and experience should remedy both.

Baseball/Soccer? Baseball MJ or Lebron? Jordan

Nov. 17, 2001 At the beginning of the 2000-’01 Marquette basketball season, my dad told me about a benchwarmer from the previous season. He told me how good he was, and how he was like that season’s best player Brian Wardle (the present-day coach of Wisconsin-Green Bay), except he was much more athletic. That player was Dwyane Wade. On Nov. 17th, 2001, Wade put his name on the radar of every Marquette fan in his first game at Marquette against the Loyola-Illinois Ramblers. The Golden Eagles won

the game 80-70 that Saturday night in Milwaukee, and Wade had a great debut. The future NBA Finals MVP scored 21 points on 7-of-16 shooting, grabbing nine rebounds, dishing out five assists, while blocking two shots and capturing three steals on the defensive end. His four fouls and three turnovers were the only flaws in what was a great debut. At the time, Marquette fans thought he might be a nice player. Instead, he became one of the program’s best players ever. matthew.trebby@marquette.edu
