An Amtrak train struck a stolen truck in the 3100 block of Hillsborough Road in Durham at about 7:45 a.m. Sunday. According to investigators, a person broke into Talbert Building Supply Saturday night and stole a delivery truck. The suspect drove the truck through a fence and onto the train tracks. When the train hit, the truck was abandoned. No injuries were reported.

Donald Trump has been using Aerosmith’s hit “Dream On” as the soundtrack for his campaign, and the band is not happy about it. Representatives of Aerosmith’s lead singer Steven Tyler sent a cease-and-desist to Trump’s campaign Saturday telling him to stop using the song at events. The letter claims that this is the second time Trump has been warned about using the song for his campaign. “Trump for President does not have our client’s permission to use ‘Dream On’ or any of our client’s other music in connection with the Campaign because it gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump’s presidential bid,” read the ceaseand-desist letter. The letter said the band is unaware of any public performance license granting Trump for President the right to perform the song in connection with the campaign. The letter said, “If Trump for President has any such license, please forward it to our attention immediately.”

NC State professor investigates VW scandal Andrew Cochrane Correspondent

NC State professor Chris Frey started a private study testing Volkswagen diesels in real-world conditions because of the recent Volkswagen emissions scandal.

The German car manufacturers recalled about 500,000 cars in the United States, and millions more worldwide, after lying on their emissions tests. Certain Diesel Volkswagen models were fitted with devices that were triggered during tests conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency. After the device was triggered, the car’s performance was lowered, thus producing less amounts of nitrogen oxide gas (NOx).

The emissions of these vehicles ranged from 10 to 50 times higher than the allowed standard of emissions, which is 0.05 g of NOx per mile according to Frey, a professor of civil, construction and environmental engineering and former chairperson of

“It’s like the terrorists in a bad action movie put microchips on my car to distribute poisonous gas” -David Robertson, sophomore studying finance

EPA’s Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee.

NOx gas is harmful in three ways: (1) it is harmful to humans, especially those with asthma, when inhaled; (2) it reacts with sunlight to form the dangerous gas: ozone; and (3) the nitrate matter can cause cardiovascular disease and premature death, according to Frey.

Frey has recruited four vehicles so far for his study and plans on recruiting more.

assess their case from a student perspective.”

Jessica White, associate director of the Office of Student Conduct said the Student Conduct Board is a great way to get involved on campus, and students can find the application through the Office of Student Conduct’s website.

“One of the main things we are looking for when selec t i ng students for the board is diversity,” Pulliam said. “Sex, race, gender identit y — but also in terms of major, background, affiliation w it h dif ferent student organizations, such as [Fraternity and Sorority Life] and athletes. Getting people on the board that have different expe-

riences is very important to us.”

Students interested in becoming a part of the board need to maintain a 2.5 GPA and must be enrolled as a full-time student. Applicants also cannot have a disciplinar y histor y, including academic and nonacademic infractions, and they cannot be involved in any other Student Government role. Members of the Student Conduct Board are unpaid.

According to White, the number of board members who will be accepted this year depends on the applicant pool. “We are looking for quality over quantity,” White said.

The Of f ice of Student Conduct encourages firstyear students to apply because the training process takes a year to complete.

“During the selection pro-

cess, we will have certain tasks and be able to assess how well they will be able to function on the board —and that is really what the selection comes down to, their ability to critically think and communicate those ideas effectively,” Pulliam said.

Throughout the year, the Student Conduct Boa rd hears cases regarding academic misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism in addition to cases of nonacademic misconduct such as violations related to alcohol, marijuana and other drugs. “[Serving on the Board]

has really helped me be able to empathize with all sorts of students,” Pulliam said. “A lot of these hearings are really personal, so being able to empathize with people I normally wouldn’t necessarily interact with, for various reasons, helps me understand the community as a whole.”

So far, there have been about 20 active members on the Student Conduct Board.

Once you are on the board, as long as you are able to uphold the standards and expectations, you are allowed to keep your position indefinitely.

about the time commitment of serving, there is a pre-set schedule for the fall.

Hearings usually take place Mondays and Thursdays starting about 3:30 p.m.

Students are also required to attend regu lar meetings; however, according to White, being on the Student Conduct Board is something that is manageable.

“I don’t think any of our Student Conduct Boa rd members do it for the prestige,” White said. “I think they do it because they are really involved in our community, they care about our community and they are invested in our community.

I think they do it because they have a vested interest and really care about our community holistically. I really view their role as an integral part of the student experience.”

“I do an over-the-road test where I instrument the car with an emission measurement system,” Frey said. “I also log data from the electronic control unit.

I use GPS receivers with optimeter to get a position and change in road f low.”

Frey said his research assistants are helping him analyze the data and create an emission summary for the vehicles in his study.

“I believe these vehicles have the ability to be low-emitting,” Frey said.

Frey plans on measuring these

vehicles once more in the coming months to see if Volkswagen’s recall will be effective. Frey’s previous involvement with the EPA is not affecting his study.

“I have communicated with some colleagues at EPA, but they are not ready to say much publicly,” he said.

Frey has seen similar scandals before, but said, “[What Volkswagen has done] is an egregious violation that borders on stupidity.”

In his time with the EPA, Frey ran an emissions test on a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta that was 14 times higher than the allowed standard.

Frey noted that there was a

similar scandal in 2005 where t r u c k m a nu f a c t u re r s pr o grammed their electronic control units to recognize when they were being tested.

“The tests are public to everyone, so it was easy to cheat,” Frey said.

After being caught and fined, the German manufacturers entered a consent decree with the EPA. This new regulation required Volkswagen to test its engines in the lab and on the road.

The engines also had to operate under multiple conditions that were different from the test, according to Frey.

“It’s like the terrorists in a bad action movie put microchips on my car to distribute poisonous gas,” Robertson said.

According to Frey, it is still unclear why Volkswagen chose to lie on its emissions tests.

“The punishments far outweigh any possible benef its,” Frey said.

While Volkswagen is paying more than $7 billion to reclaim the vehicles, the company could face up to $18 billion in finesfrom the EPA.

Do we want a cleaner future?

R

ecent movements in our less-than-stellar state legislature call for the curtains on North Carolina’s renewable energy sector. Several weeks Bryan ago, the NC General AssemMaxwell bly passed the state budget.

Correspondent One item not covered by the new budget? The NC Renewable Tax Credit, a 35 percent tax credit for homeowners or companies who want to develop a renewable energy project. North Carolina will no longer provide the roughly $125 million per year for renewable projects in the state under the idea that the renewable industry in North Carolina has “matured.” Once again, it seems like our state legislators have dropped the ball.

To be fair, North Carolina’s renewable industry has gone through a boom since the tax credit was implemented. In 2011, we had virtually no renewable sources. Four years later, we’re fourth in the nation for renewable energy. Just recently, North Carolina became one of only four states to surpass 1 gigawatt of energy from renewables, about enough power for 200,000 homes.

The boom isn’t just bringing solar companies to the state. Companies including New Belgium Brewing, who recently wrote the NCGA protesting anti-renewable legislation, have been attracted here for the state’s good business sense and commitment to clean energy.

Apple, Facebook and Google have similarly spoken out in support of renewables. Why? Because it makes sense. Not just environmental sense, but business sense. For every dollar the state puts into the renewable energy, it’s received $1.54 in returns to the state through investment, enterprise or cost savings. A freshman in economics could tell you it makes no sense to bail on an investment with positive returns.

Furthermore, the renewable industry is helping support some of the poorest parts of the state.

In eastern North Carolina, solar companies are paying farmers to lease out a portion of their land for solar farms. Principal Solar has plans to complete a 100 megawatt facility in Cumberland County. Not only are many farmers diversifying their businesses by doing this, but solar is paying five to six times the profit per acre and is helping insure farmers against price fluctuations or risks in agriculture.

Many farmers out East have vocalized support for renewables because they’re bringing in money. It’s strange then that the NCGA wants to handicap the industry, especially when earlier this year they voted for a measure that would redistribute money from sales taxes from thriving urban centers to struggling rural counties.

What better way to support rural economies than letting them make money off of land and light, something they have a ton of?

The industry is booming in North Carolina, but does that mean it has “matured”? Hardly.

Yet, the state seems to feel it no longer should receive subsidies. This is surprising considering our country still heavily subsidizes oil and gas.

Last year, NCGA aimed to provide subsidies to the less-than-savory fracking industry.

As Elon Musk said, “If I cared about subsidies,

I would have gone into oil and gas,” (Musk being the same entrepreneur who built a billion-dollar empire on the backs of SolarCity and Tesla electric cars. Oh, and space travel). On the contrary, the renewable energy industry is just getting started, and as it’s catching its wind, our state legislature just kneecaps it. We can only hope it survives the assault.

Republicans claim that renewable companies shouldn’t get any special treatment. If we take away the subsidies, the free market will take over. Right? Unfortunately, there is really no free market in North Carolina for power, as it’s largely controlled by a monopoly in the form of Duke Power.

How much of a monopoly does the company have? This year it sued a company for trying to sell power to customers generated from panels it put on their houses. Third-party sales are prohibited in only four states in the country.

North Carolina is one of them. An upcoming bill would allow third-party sales to happen, but, no surprise, the state’s primary utility, Duke, is fighting to kill it.

Republicans also contend that subsidies to renewable energy hurt the poor because it makes utilities and energy more expensive. This is wholly false. Renewables in the long term reduce the overall energy costs to tax payers. Our state’s Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard only charges 50 cents on utility bills, and taxpayer money invested in renewables is coming back to the state with returns. Not only that, but the benefits to cleaner air and water are almost priceless and even further make the economic case for moving to renewable. The REPS program has saved the state $162 million since 2007.

It seems that, like the decision to privatize the state’s Medicaid, the NCGA is intent on killing programs that are working for North Carolina.

I’m all up for new solutions to reoccurring problems, but why change things when they’re working and working for a better future for North Carolina? It seems inevitable that the tax credit will expire, but there is hope.

Our state’s REPS program has plans to expand requirement for 6 percent of the state’s energy to come from renewable to 12.5 percent by 2025 in order to grow the industry. House Bill 332 presented by NCGA wants to freeze the requirement at 6 percent, further hindering the renewable industry.

If you feel passionate about a better, cleaner future for North Carolina and our continuing to be a leader in renewable energy, there are some people in our legislature who would love to hear from you, namely: Rosa Gill (the NCGA House Representative for District 33 that includes NC State, who voted for HB 332 to freeze the REPS at 6 percent); Bob Rucho (NCGA Senator who passed HB 332 through the Finance Committee despite a controversial voice vote that seemed to fail the bill); or even Mike Hager (the House Representative from Rutherford Co. who introduced the bill and conveniently used to be a manager at Duke Energy). NCGA members’ phone numbers and email addresses can be found on its website.

First Impressions, Part XII

Sarah Ishida, graduate student studying technical communication

Racism still plays a role in politics I

recently came across an article in The Hill, a political newspaper, in which Bernie Sanders conveyed that nothing was going to come in between himself and his presidential campaign. One commenter replied, “Really? Not even Kathleen Hitler?”

Maxwell Aside from the inherCorrespondent ent inappropriateness of referencing Hitler, those words are particularly insulting when one understands who Sanders is. Sanders is Jewish and the grandson of a Holocaust survivor.

Aside from becoming victim to anti-Semitic attacks from various Internet commenters, Sanders has also fallen victim to anti-Semitism from journalists. National Public Radio host Diane Rehm said Sanders has a dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship — an untrue statement. She claims she based that assumption off of a secret “list” of U.S. policymakers with Israeli citizenship.

Assuming that Jewish lawmakers, who make up a majority of the “list,” cannot fully support the U.S. and must somehow be working for Israel is anti-Semitic. This implies that people’s ethnicity or religion causes them to automatically prioritize those sentiments over American interests. Yet, this same judgement is not something that white, Christian candidates face. Donald Trump is the son of a Scottish immigrant, yet no one is asking him whether he holds a Scottish dual citizenship.

Indeed, racist statements and beliefs have been focused on candidates in recent elections. When looking through our history of candidates, and especially winning candidates, most have been white, Christian males of affluent background. Only very recently have candidates who break those molds moved to the forefront of political elections.

It was only in 2008 when the U.S. elected its

first president of a non-white race: President Barack Obama.

After his election, many questioned whether Obama was actually an American citizen, and many used racial slurs against him. In fact, there was a point in time when typing in a racial slur on Google Maps would direct you to the White House. Even today, many continue to question Obama’s citizenship. In a poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, only 29 percent of Republicans polled thought Obama was born in the U.S. However, 40 percent thought Ted Cruz was born in the U.S.—even though he was born in Canada.

The responses to these diverse candidates are markers of biases in American society.

In the 2014 National Demographic Survey of American Jewish College Students, 54 percent of Jewish respondents had experienced some form of anti-Semitism in college. The survey also reported a higher rate of 18-29-year-olds who had been called an anti-Jewish slur in the past year than those 65 or older. Biases against African-Americans and Hispanics are also prominent. In an Associated Press survey released in 2012, the percentages of people openly admitting to disliking AfricanAmericans and Hispanics increased slightly between the 2010 and 2012 polling.

The rise of racially and ethnically diverse candidates has given racists and anti-Semites figureheads to mock and abuse. The amount of “birthers” who believe Obama is not a citizen as well as the creation of secret “lists” concerning Israeli citizens in Congress are both part of a larger, racially biased society.

The racist attacks Obama and Sanders have faced, and will face, are not just isolated incidents from isolated people. They are part of a culture that still does not equally value those who do not fit the expected mold of a true “American.”

The Kunduz airstrike: another United States war crime O

ct. 3, Doctors Without Borders stated, “Today the U.S. government has admitted that Chase it was their McLamb airstrike Guest Columnist that hit our hospital in Kunduz [Afghanistan] and killed 22 patients and MSF staff. Their description of the attack keeps changing — from collateral damage, to a tragic incident, to now attempting to pass responsibility to the Afghanistan government.”

The United States military has admitted to bombing the hospital. However, Gen. John Campbell had this to say: “We have now learned that on Oct. 3, Afghan forces advised that they were taking fire from enemy positions and asked for air support from U.S. forces. An

airstrike was then called to eliminate the Taliban threat and several civilians were accidentally struck. This is different from the initial reports, which indicated that U.S. forces were threatened and that the airstrike was called on their behalf.”

According to CNN, 12 medical staff members and 10 patients, including three children, were killed by the U.S. air strike. An additional 37 others were wounded.

Doctors Without Borders also reported that the hospital had provided its GPS coordinates to all fighting parties in the area. Furthermore, the attack was a sustained bombing, meaning that the hospital was hit several times and was very badly damaged, according to the organization.

T he Wa sh i ng ton Post said, “Afghan officials said Taliban fighters were in the hospital at the time of the airstrike, but that is in dispute.”

Taking into account that the U.S. military knew the location of the hospital and still ordered the bombing indicates negligence of the civilian population in the area. According to The Washington Post, “Campbell’s revised account does not clarif y whet her t he clinic was targeted in error or whether U.S. military personnel followed procedure. They are required to verify that the target of the requested airstrike is valid before firing. Asked about those procedures, Campbell said he would not discuss the rules of engagement

The U.S.’ attitude toward harming civilians must have changed since decimating Fallujah during the Iraq War and the 2013 drone strike on a marriage procession in Yemen.

As for investigating the hospit a l bomba rd ment, there will be three investigations conducted by the Department of Defense, a U.S.-Afghan Military cooperative effort and NATO respectively. When asked if there were a need for some outside party not directly related to the massacre to perform its own independent investigation, Earnest replied, “The president obviously has confidence in these three investigations to provide that full accounting that he seeks.”

If the U.S. military were required to validate the target before launching the attack, there should have been a way to see that the coordinates given to it by the hospital fell inside the strike zone. Moreover, the U.S. military is trying to blame the Afghans for calling in the strike, but this cannot excuse them for being the ones who actually fired on a hospital and killed 22 people.

Keeping avian flu at bay on farms and in the backyard Alexandra Goodfred Correspondent

Fear of any kind of inf luenza has been prevalent in human society for ages, ranging from the incredibly deadly Spanish influenza of the early 1900s to the more recent fear of swine f lu and bird f lu. But inf luenza can also have an indirect effect on humans, as it spreads and affects local chicken populations including both backyard pets and industrial animal agriculture facilities where most of our eggs and poultry products are produced.

In an attempt to stop the spread of avian f lu, state officials announced in June that North Carolina would ban public shows and sales of live poultry from Aug. 15 to Jan. 15—which means this year’s State Fair will not include the popular poultry exhibit.

The North Carolina Department of Agriculture recently released an advertisement requesting that people register their chickens, even if they are just in backyard coops. There was only one problem: People weren’t doing it. The goal behind registering chickens is to monitor which birds contract avian f lu, which is spread through the feces of wild birds who carry the disease.

All wild birds are carriers of the disease, and the arrival of migratory season should be a major concern for the spread of avian f lu, though the spread to humans is not direct from diseased birds, according to John Brake, a William Neal Reynolds professor of poultry science, physiology and nutrition in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.

“In South China and places like Vietnam, what happens is the pigs, chickens, ducks and people all live in the same house,” Brake said.

“The pig has the receptor for human and for bird inf luenza, and the pig picks it up, and that’s where the recombination [of the virus]

A broiler chick is weighed by students in a lab in Scott Hall in February. Farmers and researchers must be constantly aware of the spread of disease in the poultry industry. If one bird on a commercial farm is infected, the whole coop may have to be killed to prevent contamination. John Brake, a professor of poultry science, physiology and nutrition, has a 17-point contract he makes his students sign before they can come to a poultry farm.

occurs. And that’s why those things become infectious to humans as well.”

Brake said bird f lu is also present in countries such as India and Indonesia, but because people in those countries are less likely to keep pigs, fewer instances of bird f lu are reported.

The tendency of family farming and organic freerange farming, where all of the animals are mixing and interacting with not only each other but also with wild species, also contributes to the spread of bird flu.

Brake gave the example of Thailand as well, a country that exports a large amount of chickens to Europe, developing a problem with bird flu that prevented them from exporting. According to Brake, Thailand made people keep their livestock and birds in barns separate

from other birds to limit the spread of the f lu. A major problem with the disease is that by law, there is no option to vaccinate because once a chicken has been vaccinated, it is not possible to determine if it has been exposed to the f lu or not.

“Where your problem is, the way we produce eggs for instance, like in the Midwest where we had this problem, we used to have one chicken house, and you’d have anywhere from 20 to 100,000 birds in it,” Brake said. “Now we have 1 million birds in a total of 10 houses. One bird gets infected, they kill them all.”

Brittney Danehy, a senior studying history, shares the concern about the spread of avian f lu. In total, Danehy has 30 chickens, four turkeys, seven peacocks, a number of ducks and a

parrot, in addition to nine goats, one llama, five dogs, t wo cats a nd f ish. The spread of avian f lu has affected her already, though fortunately not through the death of her birds. Wicked Chicken Auction, a place in Clay ton, North Carolina where she used to go to buy and sell chickens and goats, has closed due to the fear of the spread of disease.

“The state banned after mid-August any public auctions and shows until January,” Danehy said. “At first, Wicked Chicken was just going to close until Jan. 1, but they were still going to have goat auctions and rabbits. The first auction lasted 30 minutes because not everybody has goats to sell, and after that they made an announcement that they were closing indefinitely.”

Danehy is worried about

the spread of avian f lu to North Carolina because it is highly contagious, and there is a high mortality rate associated with it. In addition, Brake said he is worried about the high financial cost associated with a dying bird population.

“The poultry industry for this state alone is $4 billion,” Brake said. “Generally, if you look at money in a farm, you multiply it about four to five times if you look at the economic effect — that’s $20 billion.

That’s bigger than the state budget. That would devastate this state’s economy.”

Though the risk is great, there are ways to prevent the spread. In fact, Brake has a 17-point contract he makes his students sign before they can come to the poultry farm. In the plan, there are statements about shoe

removal at certain points in the journey to the farm.

According to Brake, the biggest problem for the spread of avian f lu is tracking wild bird feces on shoes and tires.

“You can control it in many respects,” Brake said.

“It’s not that difficult to do, but you can’t be tracking things around. You have to break the tracking, have to limit the number of tires and cars and you have to know where they go. There’s nothing perfect, and you can’t do it with disinfectants. We’ve seen for years people use disinfectants, and it just makes it worse because disinfectants really don’t kill very much. It’s all about controlling your traff ic f low and keeping the wild birds and domestic birds separate.”

outshooting the Demon Deacons 9-7, after being outshot 5-1 in the first half.

Redshirt senior forward Philip Carmon and freshman right back Simon Blotko had successive chances midway through the second half, both of which came within inches of hitting the target, and both of which could have dramatically changed the outcome of this game.

Despite the misses, the positive signs shown by the Pack brought the crowd into the game, and the team rode that energy until the end of regulation.

The Wolfpack’s back four were phenomenal in overtime and the game as a whole, not allowing a single shot in OT and never showing signs of breaking down against an offense that has scored 31 goals so far this season.

Senior Holden Fender, who has forged a tremendous partnership with his former club teammate and fellow senior Reed Norton, had more chances than

anyone on the team, with all three of his shots placed on frame.

“In the past we’ve gotten results against teams like this, but it’s been against the run of play,” Fender said.

“This year I think we’re playing with a lot more confidence and a lot more belief that we actually are good enough to beat these teams.”

NC State almost won it with six minutes remaining when Taiwo received the ball in Wake’s half and took on three defenders, but he rolled the ball just a little too far, allowing Wake Forest keeper Alec Ferrell to close down the angle and block his shot, and the match ended without a tally for either side.

Wolf pack senior goalkeeper A lex McCauley contributed one of his finer performances of the year, making six saves, one shy of his season record set Aug. 28 against Furman. The shutout was his third of the year and ninth of his career.

The Wolfpack will face South Carolina at home in its next match Tuesday at 7 p.m.

the team committed nine fouls for 81 yards, five of which resulted in a f irst down for the Hokies.

Doeren attributed some of the penalties to inconsistency in calls across games.

“Some of t hat stuf f is called in some games, in other games they aren’t,” Doeren said. “Pass interference has gotten pretty hard to understand. It’s nothing they’re doing wrong; there’s just no simple way it’s called from crew to crew.”

On the opposite side of the field, State quarterback Jacoby Brissett had an underwhelming performance, passing for just 113 yards with a 48 percent completion percentage, the senior’s season-low in both categories.

“I have to do a better job of getting the ball out of my

hands faster, making more plays in the passing game,” Brissett said.

No Wolfpack wide receiver posted more than 30 yards on the day. Despite Brissett’s troubles, including his first interception of the season, Doeren said he had “complete faith” in his starter going forward.

“I’m not concerned,” Doeren said. “He’s a tough guy; he’s going to play hard.”

Junior running back Matt Dayes posted a season-low 66 yards on ground after breaking 100 yards in the team’s first four games.

Jaylen Samuels saw some touches at half back, racking up 29 yards on three handoffs. Doeren said the sophomore just needed more experience on the field.

Before the team’s secondquarter collapse, State had all the momentum, scoring on two of its first three drives.

However, after taking the lead at the start of the second, seven of the Pack’s final nine drives lasted six plays or fewer.

“We have to do a better job of finishing,” Brissett said. “I have to find a way to make more plays in the passing and running game.”

With the last year’s 0-4 start to ACC play fresh on the team’s mind, Doeren emphasized the importance of the Pack’s upcoming bye week.

“We’ll sit down as a staff and look at everything we’ve done,” Doeren said afterward. “We’ll look at us first.

We’ll bring the kids in and talk to them, man-to-man, then get to work, start doing those things and get ready for Wake Forest.”

Following the bye, State will take on the Demon Deacons on the road in Winston Salem, where the Pack hasn’t won since 2003.

Pack holds Deacs to scoreless draw Cole Bass Correspondent

Women’s soccer falls in Florida The NC State women’s soccer team suffered a pair of losses in Florida during the fall break, falling 4-0 to No. 2 Florida State before dropping a heartbreaking overtime contest to Miami, 3-2. The Pack struggled to mount any kind of challenge on the home turf of the defending national champions Thursday. In Miami, the Pack ran out to a 2-0 lead in the first half thanks to goals from redshirt sophomore Jackie Stengel and junior forward Rachel Cox, but the Pack would concede twice in the second half and concede the winner in the second period of overtime to record its sixth ACC loss of the year.

Softball sweeps Campbell Wolfpack softball dominated Campbell Sunday, recording two shutout wins in the doubleheader at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium in Buies Creek, North Carolina. NC State defeated the Camels 10-0 and 2-0 to open the fall season in style. Junior Tyler Ross and redshirt junior Hanna Sommer hit home runs, and junior Courtney Mirabella and sophomore Harli Hubbard combined for the shutout in the first game. In the second, junior Hannah Yeager batted in a runner to give the Pack the lead before Ross homered to double the advantage. Freshman Brittany Nimmo pitched four scoreless innings. Hubbard added another two, and Mirabella finished the win in the seventh. The Pack hosts Pitt Community College Thursday at Dail Stadium.

Jordan Beck Sports Editor

The No. 22 ranked NC State men’s soccer team held No. 4 Wake Forest to a 0-0 draw Friday night at Dail Soccer Stadium after two scoreless overtime periods.

In its last three games, the Wolf pack (6-2-3, 1-1-3 ACC) has come away with just as many draws, with this tie against the Demon Deacons (9-1-2, 3-0-2 ACC) being the most notable.

Wake Forest has not lost on the road this season and has only lost once at home, against Elon. NC State has yet to lose at home this year and was looking to keep this record intact and potentially break Wake’s unbeaten road record.

Although the Pack failed to break the Demon Deacons’ unbeaten run, it nearly stole the match late when sophomore forward Ade Taiwo broke in on goal in the second overtime period, but his shot was blocked by the keeper. However, a shutout against one of the nation’s hottest offenses has the Pack perfectly positioned to finally grab a spot in the NCAA Tournament.

“We shut out the No. 1 RPI team in the country and got another point in the ACC,” head coach Kelly Findley said. “We’ve

been telling our guys this is the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Everybody we’ve played in the last two weeks will be there, including us. This is what it looks like.”

From the opening whistle, Wake started on the front foot. The Demon Deacons looked composed, keeping possession in their half and looking dangerous in the final third, propelled forward by the power of sophomore Kris Reaves on the right and the pace of fresh-

man Jack Harrison on the left.

The Demon Deacons’ talented midfield was heavily involved in the first half, and if not for a few key Wolfpack steals, the game could have been put away early.

The most decisive moment came late in the first half from a Wake attack down the right side when a pass into the box led to a shot off the inside of the post by junior midfielder Ian Harkes. The ball rolled perilously across goal and was eventually cleared out of the

danger area.

However, NC State settled down as the half went on, and the senior-led defense repelled most of the Deacons’ attacks before springing the Pack’s forwards on the counter attack. At halftime, however, neither team had an advantage, with the game knotted at 0-0.

The Wolfpack looked a rejuvenated side in the second half,

Redshirt senior quarterback Jacoby Brissett gets hit by multiple Hokies after scrambling past the line of scrimmage. Brissett went 12-for-25 passing and 133 yards with one touchdown and one interception. The Wolfpack lost to the Hokies 28-13 at Virginia Tech in Lane Stadium Friday.

The NC State football team fell to 0-2 in the ACC for the third consecutive season with its 28-13 loss to Virginia Tech Friday night in Blacksburg, Virginia.

The Hokies (3-3, 1-1 ACC) used a 21-point second quarter to pull away from the Wolfpack (4-2, 0-2 ACC), which is now 0-2 in the month of October under head coach Dave Doeren.

“Disappointed is an understatement,” Doeren said following the loss. “Very disappointed in our second quarter. Their response was good, and ours wasn’t.”

Redshirt junior quarterback Brenden Motley found sophomore wide receiver Isaiah Ford three separate times in the second, giving Tech an 11-point advantage heading into the half.

“It’s like basketball when you can’t miss,” Ford said. “I couldn’t not get open, and Mot was finding me.”

The first of the Hokies’ second-quarter scores came on a 27-yard toss to the back corner of the end zone, one of five 10-plus-yard passes completed by Motley in the second.

Coming off his worst performance of the year against Pittsburgh, Motley rebounded against a shaky Wolfpack secondary, recording a passer rating of 132.8, the junior’s third-best of the season.

The Hokie quarterback was a late selection, as starter Michael Brewer was scratched from the lineup less than an hour before kickoff after suffering a broken collarbone against Ohio State in the season opener.

Sophomore linebacker Airius Moore identified his defense’s sloppiness on third down as a large factor in the team’s poor play.

Volleyball falls in two conference games Rachel Clark Correspondent

Taylor Peers Staff Writer

The NC State volleyball team fell twice in the last week in ACC play, losing Wednesday to UNC-Chapel Hill and Saturday to Virginia at Broughton High School.

With the losses, the Pack moves on to 12-6 (1-5 ACC) on the year but has the bulk of the conference schedule still to come.

Wednesday night’s “white out” marked the first midweek contest of the season for the Wolfpack, which faced off against the Tar Heels. UNC-CH entered the contest 6-7 (3-1 ACC) but emerged 3-0 victors, defeating NC State 25-18, 25-19 and 25-22.

“We battled hard until we got close to the end, and then we made errors,” head Coach Bryan Bunn said. “We made serve receiving errors; we made attacking errors.

At the end, you can’t do that against a good team like that.”

Sophomore Kaitlyn Kearney had 11 kills, freshman Becky Porter had 28 assists and junior Rachel Eppley had 17 digs to lead the Pack.

“I think as a team we learned that we really need to push in crucial points at the end,” Kearney said.

The issues came down to not executing the fundamentals, for Eppley.

“I think we did well defensively,” Eppley said. “We just didn’t pass the ball, and our outsides couldn’t take care of our system passes, and that just starts with the first ball contact, whether it’s the serve or the pass.”

Saturday night, NC State pressed to get back to winning ways in conference play but fell to the Cavaliers (12-5, 4-2 ACC).

Junior Maggie Speaks returned from an injury after missing the UNC-CH and Duke matches. She collected 20 assists, three kills and two digs in the match.

The Pack tied the score with Virginia 21 times throughout the game.

Freshman Becky Porter started again as setter for the Wolfpack and, with a kill, brought the early score to 4-3. Fellow freshman Blayke Hranicka had a kill to bring the score to 10-7. Virginia tied it at 11 before NC State pulled away to 17-14, forcing a Cavalier timeout.

Sophomore Julia Brown tallied her fifth kill of the set to bring the score to 18-14.

Hranicka’s third kill had the Pack at 20-18

before Virginia tied it at 22. Despite having control of the first set, a three-point run allowed the Cavaliers to take it 25-22.

The Cavaliers came out to an early lead 3-2 in the second set. Hranicka tied it at 4 with a kill. Sophomores Kearney and Perry Ramsey blocked Virginia at the net to tie the score at 6. NC State took a timeout at 8-15 before Ramsey blocked the Cavaliers to edge the Pack to 12-17. The Wolfpack prevented a set point several times, but Virginia pulled away to take it 25-18.

NC State and Virginia tied it early at 1 in the third set. Speaks and Hranicka blocked the Cavaliers to tie the score again at 2.

Speaks had a kill to bring the Pack up 3-5.

After a Wolfpack timeout at 7-10, NC State had back-to-back kills to trim the lead 1012. The score tied at 14 before a back and forth rally ensued. Virginia continued with the lead until the Pack took a timeout at 16-19. A kill by Brown, a block by Kearney and senior Morgan Cormier and a kill by Ramsey brought the score within one, 2122. Virginia took the third set 25-23.
