Two models walk the runway during Art2Wear 2015 in the Talley Student Union Ballroom. Hundreds of spectators showed up to the annual event to view the work of nine student designers within the Colleges of Design and Textiles.

Nine students will present their original designs at the 2016 Art2Wear fashion show Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Talley Student Union Ballroom. This year’s theme, The Virtue of Obsession, is about the behavioral state of thinking about an object, theme, image or idea constantly. The purpose of the event, which started in 2002, is to challenge the conventional definitions of fashion

and give students the opportunity to gain experience coordinating a fashion show. The wearable art incorporates couture designs, exposing student designers to the broader field of fashion. General admission tickets are available for $30 at design.ncsu.edu/ art2wear/eventstickets.

In order to pay for decades of postponed maintenance, NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill have each asked to borrow up to $500 million over 100 years. Currently, the state has a 30-year limit on debts for universities.

This form of borrowing is called a century bond and has been used in universities such as Yale, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of California and Ohio State University.

In order to borrow the money, the proposal must be approved by the General Assembly.

Although the money could pay for needed repairs, some have expressed concerns about the nature of the proposal.

According to Champ Mitchell, a board member from New Bern, the proposal does not provide enough detail on how the money would be spent.

Other board members are concerned that tuitions would be increased to pay for the debts.

On the other hand, acting now would allow universities to have low interest rates on the borrowed money.

Bar app reveals which fish are in the sea Adam Davis Assistant News Editor

An app startup created by NC State students seeks to help people decide what to do with their nights out. The app, called ShareFish, launched on March 28 and has about 900 users.

ShareFish informs users about bars and restaurants. However, it tells less about the venue and more about the people there.

“For each bar, we can display the gender ratio, the age range and the

percentage of people that are single,” said John Malatras, one of the company’s co-founders.

Malatras is a sophomore studying computer and electrical engineering.

“If you’re a guy and you want to go to a place with a lot of single girls, you can do that,” Malatras said. “Or if you’re in a new city, you don’t know where to go, you’re on a budget, you can go to the cheapest place and see where the people you want to spend time with are.”

ShareFish also displays specials

for restaurants, as well as how far away they are. The app is also linked with Uber to provide easier transportation.

“Whenever you’re drunk and you’re like ‘I don’t really want to type the address in’ or ‘I don’t want to go onto Google and figure it out,’ don’t worry, we’ve taken care of it for you,” said Oliver Walsh, the company’s CEO. Walsh is a junior studying electrical engineering.

In addition, there will soon be a feature called “emoji classification.” Users will select what emojis

best describe them, and the most popular emojis for a given venue at any time will be displayed in the app. The emojis will include the standard Apple library, as well as custom emojis for colleges and sports teams.

Walsh says this feature will help users find people with similar interests.

UNC System President Margaret Spellings, as a part of her get-to-know-you tour, was present at the event. UNC Board Chairman Lou Bissette criticized the approach of the protesters, saying that they are simply screaming vulgarities rather than providing sensible concerns and solutions. Some students were protesting over concerns involving House Bill 2.

Spellings has said UNC campuses will follow the law. However, no enforcement of the law has been planned.

NC State researchers anticipate that this year’s Atlantic hurricane season will be significantly more active compared to averages from the past 66 years.

From 1950–2014, an average of about 11 named storms occurred in the Atlantic basin, which comprises the entire Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. This year, the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, can expect 15 to 18 hurricanes and tropical storms in the Atlantic basin, according to research conducted by Lian Xie, a professor of marine, earth and atmospheric sciences at NC State. Of those named storms, three to five may become major hurricanes.

Two to five named storms may occur in the Gulf of

Mexico, with one to three becoming hurricanes. Xie’s data predicts that two to four tropical cyclones may form in the Caribbean, with one to two developing into a hurricane.

Xie analyzed more than 100 years of data about Atlantic Ocean hurricane intensity and positions to predict the number of storms that will form in each ocean basin. The research also takes into account other variables such as sea-surface temperatures and weather patterns.

Xie’s research is also in collaboration with Joseph Guinness, an assistant professor of statistics; Montserrat Fuentes, a professor of statistics; Bin Liu, an adjunct assistant professor in marine, earth and atmospheric sciences; and Marcela Alfaro-Cordoba, a graduate research assistant in statistics.

“Humans” begin Survive Raleigh as they run for checkpoints at the beginning of the event Saturday. Survive Raleigh was a zombie apocalypse themed run where participants had to reach four checkpoints around campus and “survive” until the end of the event.

Humans, zombies compete in Survive Raleigh game Sooyoung Sohn Correspondent

Survive Raleigh VI-Spring Edition kicked off Saturday at the court in front of Talley Student Union where participants tried their best to survive a zombie outbreak.

Survive Raleigh is a game of tag with two types of players: zombies and humans. The humans must wear black T-

shirts over white shirts, and when they are tagged, the checkpoint monitors spray paint their white shirts with biohazard signs. On the other side, the starting zombies must be wearing white shirts spray painted with black. Once the game has started, the humans can only run to one of four checkpoints around campus in the first hour and half of the game.

“I chose that rule because it gives the game the certain escape and evade feel which forces the human players to stay moving,” said Deshawn Utley, the event organizer for Survive Raleigh.

During the game, if you are tagged by the zombie players, that doesn’t mean you are out of the game. Rather, the zombie

NC State will host the 2016 State Energy Conference April 20 and 21 at the McKimmon Center. More than 75 experts will speak at the two-day conference with a focus on advanced technology, alternative fuels, biomass, economic development, environment, finance, policy,

research, solar, training, wind and more. Architects and engineers are encouraged to attend some of the 25 sessions being held during the conference.

North Carolina has taken several steps toward providing clean energy to its citizens.

“Thanks in part to a USDA grant, nearly 200 new fuel pumps will be

installed around our state,” said Louise Dixon, Carolina PR’s President of Public Relations. “[They will] offer 15 percent ethanol and 85 percent ethanol fuel blends. There are several of these pumps in the Raleigh area already.”

Over 50 exhibitors and sponsors will be in attendance with whom visitors can meet and network.

One of the overall goals of the conference is to examine the impacts of energy technologies, policy and finance on customers at all levels of the energy marketplace. Areas discussed will include clean transportation, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings, power

ShareFish collects its user information using a device called an iBeacon. The iBeacons are placed in bars and can detect whenever a phone enters the venue. If the phone has ShareFish installed, then the user’s gender, age and relationship status are added to the bar’s averages.

However, Walsh assures, the iBeacon technology is completely anonymous. The iBeacons do not collect names, and the company cannot track where users go.

“Ultimately, what we want ShareFish to become is the directory that you go to when you’re trying to figure out where to go,” Walsh said. “You go to a new city, you want to be in your scene, you want to know where your drink is, but you have no idea where to go.”

The game ends with two winners. One is a human player who completed all the checkpoints first. The other is a zombie player with the most kills.

There are no prizes for the winners, but their pictures are taken and uploaded on the Survive Raleigh Facebook page.

“In this game, being tagged doesn’t suck,” said Alex Johnson, a senior studying international relations. “If you get tagged, you get to chase down your friends who ditched you as zombie.”

generation, research and innovation and residential homes.

A student poster session will also be held during the conference.

The information that ShareFish collects will also benefit the participating venues, according to Malatras. ShareFish organizes and sells analytics back to the bars that have the iBeacons.

“On our web app, bars can see when their most popular times were, when certain age demographics are coming in, younger people versus older people, males versus females, single versus in a relationship,” Malatras said.

Looking ahead, ShareFish plans to expand into Chapel Hill, Charlotte and Athens, Georgia. Then, the company wants to spread even further.

“Our goal is to be in 25–30 cities by first week of school fall semester,” Malatras said. “We want to be at every big school in the Southeast.”

While the app is only available on iPhone, the company plans to make a version available for Android users.

CONTRIBUTED BY OLIVER WALSH

In September, Wa lsh won $1,000 for the company at a minute-pitch competition called Entrepolooza. Development for the app began in January.

When Johnson participated in the last Survive Raleigh, he was tagged very early in the game. This year, he participated with the goal of surviving longer than the last time.

According to Utley, Survive Raleigh was initiated by his close friend, Cameron Purser, in 2010. The first Survive Raleigh was a huge success, with Utley estimating about 1,000 participants. Despite the popularity, the game soon faced the possibility of going defunct.

“After the second event, the Survive Raleigh had no one to organize,” Utley said. “Because I had so much fun seeing people enjoying this event, I stepped in to be the organizer, which is a title that I still continue to uphold to this day.”

As the event organizer, Utley cooperates with University Police to provide safety for the participants.

He also works with the members of Talley Student Union to get permission to hold the event.

“The NCSU campus always appealed to me because not only can I easily change the checkpoints each year, but the large size was very appealing too,” Utley said.

So far there are two Survive Raleigh editions, one in the spring and the other in the fall. Although the games are played out according to the same rules, these two events are different.

“The fall edition is pretty epic,” Utley said. “It is around Halloween, and we get more people than spring.”

Utley said he is currently interested in holding the next Survive Raleigh either on Centennial Campus or Fraternity Court.

During primary elections last month, voters approved a $2 billion bond issue, with $1 billion going toward higher education. The bond will pay for two buildings at NC State.

Chancellor Randy Woodson said that NC State is in need of $540 million, according to The Charlotte Observer. Because 60 percent of its buildings are 25 years old or older, UNC-CH estimates a need of $650 million for building repairs and renovations.

College and university students will be allowed to showcase their energy-focused research, capstone and community projects and poster presentations. The presentations will focus on topics related to energy policy, market development, engineering and planning

A response to the response to the Sex Issue M

ost poignant to me during our Opinion section meeting while assigning topics for last week ’s sex issue was the general uneasiness that the idea of writing about sex seemed to summon. Several of us expressed the concern that “my family reads this,” or other reservations, such as the fact that just having opinions about sex out for the world to read is scary because it’s a topic that can’t Katherine be broached when in “polite Waller company.”

Staff Columnist Sex talk, in my experience, has never been an awkward topic among friends. I’ve made more “that’s what she said” jokes than Michael Scott did in 10 seasons of “The Office,” and I’ve spent many a night curled up on the couch, drinking wine and laughing about the crazy stories and realities that sex in college entails. However, even among people you feel comfortable talking about these issues with, anxiety surrounding sex still takes on an insidious form.

In my ex perience, sexua l judgment among women is a method to undercut one another. The stigma surrounding sex is an extraordinarily complex phenomenon in female circles — it’s not awkward to talk about necessarily. Instead, the underlying attitudes about female sexuality are uncomfortable on a different level because they are harsh and carry the weight of generations of imposed ideals.

The discussion is rarely uncomfortable, but the judgment always is. Ever since the precocious years of middle school, handholding and first kisses were analyzed and picked apart, and of course through maturity and into college, sex underwent a similar treatment. If a woman is too much

{

IN YOUR WORDS

of a prude, she is teased and laughed at; if she has too much sex with too many people, she’s inevitably a “slut,” and, yes, while the stories of her many “sexcapades” are certainly entertaining, she often becomes more of the butt of a joke than a respected peer.

Regarding this social minefield that sexuality often is among women, Tracy Moore in the 2013 Jezebel article states, “It’s that I don’t think it’s about sex. I think it’s about power. And I think it’s a symptom of any group that is routinely denied power, or reduced culturally to having only one kind that matters, such as sexual power, and that, furthermore, is conditioned to never express anger or physical aggression, to come up with more indirect ways to express these human things.”

Female sexuality certainly remains taboo — not because of the act itself, but because it is a cruel pawn in a larger social power dynamic.

The power behind sexuality makes it a topic of anxiety. This power causes outspoken people to not want to write about it, and civilized and principled individuals to turn into vicious, judgmental wolves when they have the opportunity to levy this power against someone else.

Sex talk is often shushed, monitored or shamed because it offends people, not because it’s awkward, but because sex is very present and it’s such a huge part of who we are that it carries enormous power and weight. For this reason, I’m glad we dedicated an entire issue of our school newspaper to it, because vocalizing and normalizing the fact that sex is a huge part of the human experience will reduce the level of anxiety that sexuality stirs up in our culture.

Bicycles are the worst mode of transportation T

here is a growing trend in Raleigh and in the United States of people riding bicycles to get around. This is great for a lot of reasons: Bicycles don’t have the same environmental impact as cars and other motor vehicles; they are a healthy way to get around; and they are incredibly cost effective.

For all of these reasons and more, I think bicycles are a Jim Twiddy great way to get from point Staff Columnist A to point B. Unfortunately, these great benefits can come at a great cost when people ride their bikes in the street.

I understand why people ride their bikes in the street; it seems convenient for the most part. On the other hand, I have personally witnessed two instances of people crashing because of riding in the street.

One was a driver’s fault and one was the fault of the cyclist herself.

The first time, I saw a pickup truck rearend the bicycle in front of it. It seems to me that riding a bicycle in the street is very dangerous and not really worth the risk.

Fortunately, in neither of the accidents that I saw did anyone get injured at all, but they could have. I know that especially in Raleigh there have been numerous bike lanes added to the streets to make them safer for cyclists, but they do not make it completely safe. The girl I saw fall over was in a bike lane, and she fell into the street in front of traffic. There is just not enough space even with bike lanes for cars and bicycles

to interact safely.

If it is necessary to ride a bike, it may be a better idea to ride on the sidewalk. If you ride on the sidewalk, then if there is an accident, you are risking hitting people instead of cars. While this is not ideal, riding on the sidewalk significantly reduces the chance of serious injury.

Dangers aside, it seems like riding a bike would be very impractical. I am not trying to deny the benefits of riding a bike, but it seems like a bike is only practical for certain situations. One practical problem with bicycles is the problem of distance.

A bicycle is not a convenient way to travel for long distances. In addition to distance, bicycles can’t carry a lot of things like cars or other forms of transportation. Bicycles also don’t protect the rider from extreme temperatures and weather. There are many practical issues with using bicycles.

The combination of practical issues and the danger of riding in the street seems to be enough to validate looking for other options. There is merit in riding a bike for recreation or exercise, in which case the practical problems would not apply, but if you are riding your bike for those reasons then there is no reason to ride in the street. Riding your bike for other reasons, like to get to work or school, may be a bad idea if you have to travel on roads. There are lots of other options for getting from place to place like cars, walking and public transportation. Using a bike for a main source of transportation is too dangerous and impractical.

“A lot of people just don’t know about current legislation — getting people informed about what the legislation is and what it stands for is always a good route when trying to raise awareness. Talking to your local government is also always a good idea, as many political movements really start at the grassroots level.”

“Keep talking about it — too often issues such as recent legislation are talked about for a week, then the buzz goes away. We need to keep discussing these issues that we disagree with in order to keep raising awareness for them.”

Madison Teeter freshman, political science

Devin Miller freshman, exploratory studies

“I think the most effective thing to do is to raise your voice and have a conversation about the issue at hand.

Oftentimes people don’t take action simply because they are uninformed about current events.”

Raleigh Raw’s journey from delivery to storefront Laurie Howard Correspondent

Raleigh Raw is one of downtown Raleigh’s newest additions, featuring a menu of raw foods and juices. Nestled in a trendy storefront on Hargett Street, it embraces an industrial feel, complemented by bright, local artwork, bar seating and a hip-hop playlist. Raleigh Raw already has the atmosphere of a well-established, popular hub, where new customers feel like regulars and hosting comes naturally to the owners.

This environment, however, did not come without its fair share of complications. Three years ago, Raleigh Raw was only an idea.

Sherif Fouad, the founder of Raleigh Raw, was exposed to the advantages of raw foods when his father’s cancer diagnosis called for a diet change. Fouad began preparing cold-pressed juices and raw foods for his father, who noticed a vast improvement in his health.

“It’s been really exciting to see the benefits of raw foods firsthand,” Fouad said. “We felt it was important for us to bring that to more people.”

Fouad moved to Raleigh in 2013, when he began working as a bartender. He and his girlfriend, NC State alumna Leslie Woods, began pressing and processing juices from home, which wasn’t a pragmatic operation.

They later received permission to use the bar’s kitchen after closing. Typically, they would work nights at the bar and then press, bottle and deliver juice from 2 a.m. until after 6 a.m.

For two and a half years they continued like this — sav ing money by taking funds out of their accounts intended for rent and food.

They sold their product through coffee shops until a mishap with the FDA moved them to an online platform.

“We had just ordered a pallet of 3,000 bottles; it was our first major order,” Woods said. “As it arrived, and we’re breaking down

the pallet and taking the sleeves of bottles one by one to Sherif ’s balcony across the road, we get a call from one of the managers at the coffee shop. He goes, ‘Guys, the FDA is here, they have their badges out, they’ve placed an embargo on your product.’”

Essentially, the product couldn’t be sold through more than one retailer for liability complications.

Under this pressure, Fouad and Woods developed a commercefriendly website for local customers in just five days. Truly a mark of the times, they relied on social media as their sole form of marketing throughout their company’s existence.

“Just being [an online] juice company, we were only able to express our brand through that I n s t a g r a m pl at for m . Pe ople weren’t able to meet us in person,

we couldn’t talk one-on-one about a product, it was just them getting online and seeing who we were,” Woods said.

In fall of 2014, the duo purchased their f irst commercial juicer. Soon af ter, they began distributing and stocking raw juice vending machines. The next step? Finding the perfect location in downtown Raleigh for a complete cafe.

Their search yielded a historical storefront in need of renovation. Unforeseen complications a rose duri ng t he restorat ion process, leading to unexpected costs. Woods and Fouad turned to their customers for support, setting up a Kickstarter campaign with an impressive goal: $37,000 in three weeks. Contributions immediately rolled in from friends, friends of friends and strangers,

surpassing the initial amount.

Three months later, Raleigh Raw held its grand opening.

In addition to cold-pressed juices, the cafe also serves healthy meals for a fast-paced life. The star of the menu is the selection of poké wraps, which are deconstructed sushi rolls. They also serve “crack coffee,” coffee blended with grass-fed butter and coconut oil and Kombucha, a sweet, fermented tea, among other raw drinks.

“We’ve always been more about the experience,” Woods said. “We are not just a juice company, we are a lifestyle brand — we’re selling a lifestyle, not a product.”

Raleigh Raw continues to look forward. Optimally, according to Woods, the cafe will expand to more locations in North Carolina.

They hope to develop shelf-stable

products for commercial sale.

Beyond company-specific goals, Woods wants to share her experiences with others.

“I’d like to go further into the mentoring, speaking and motivating,” Woods said. “Particularly for young women, [to help] get over the fear of going out on their own and doing something different from the norm, doing something that makes your heart sing — and doesn’t necessarily make your parents proud right off the bat.”

Woods said the struggles in the journey to establishing the cafe helped fuel their imagination.

“Failure allows you to be creative,” Woods said. “It leads you down paths you wouldn’t have chosen conventionally, but it always seems to work out for the better.”

New app picks the winner of internet arguments Maddy Bonnabeaux Correspondent

A rg u ment s ma ke for g reat entertainment, whether you’re watching or battling it out yourself. With Yaheard, an app released by NC State students, you can partake in both sides.

Josh Puente, CEO/developer of Yaheard and a senior studying electrical engineering, came up with the idea while watching ESPN’s “First Take.” In the talk show, guests discuss highlights and takes on sports plays. Seeing that the debates escalate to yelling, Puente realized why the show was so exciting to watch.

“Josh said, ‘Let’s make an app where we can argue.’ And that day, we all got together and planned out the app,” said Rob Dates, 2015 alumnus and CEO/developer of Yaheard.

Puente and DomiNick Downing, a junior studying social work, came up with the app name when they went to New York and New Jersey to visit family. The common phrase ‘Ya heard?’ is similar to ‘You know what I’m saying.’

“After they came back from the trip, they started saying it all the time, and the rest of us started too,” said Marcus Spruill, director of communications, software consultant and a senior studying business administration. “It just caught on. It just fit.”

The first of its kind, the app itself revolves around making powerful statements on any given topic. One person posts the statement and argues with another person one-on-one. Others can watch the debate as it happens, but until it’s over, users are unaware of who the opponent is.

“If your friends disagree, they can argue with you and people vote on it,” Dates said. “It sounds a little harsh with the word ‘argument,’ but it turns out to be casual, as if you’re debating with your friends.”

Users create a profile, which shows stats such as one’s argument and agreement ratios. The ratios are contingent on how many people agree with your statements or find you as the superior arguer.

A “Hot Users” page incentivizes posters to improve their content.

According to Dates, the app took 15 months to curate, while tackling full-time internships and courses.

“We’d get off work, get coffee and then work on the app,” Dates said. “That was our whole summer.”

During its development, Dates ra n into prog ra mming bugs, which stalled the process.

“Basically, something happens in the app and you have no clue what happened,” Dates said. “It’s hard when you can’t figure something out. You have to keep going at it and have the willingness to

set it down for a while and come back to it.”

Since its March 8 release, the app has garnered 1,600 downloads and about 1,300 active users, according to Jeremiah Ufot, software engineer and a senior studying agricultural and environmental technology.

“The app came out while we were in Miami over spring break,” Dates said. “It was 8 a.m., and we started celebrating. We woke up screaming.”

The team markets by word of mouth and social media. Eventually, they plan on adding a feature allowing users to invite people from their contact list.

“It’s been crazy,” Ufot said.

“We’ve been at it pretty much every day of the week; days that I don’t work, I’ll be on campus or downtown Raleigh promoting.”

According to Spruill, the second version will be released next week, introducing a call-out feature similar to Twitter mentions

and an improved experience for the user. An Android version is currently in the works.

“We want people to open up their point of views and see others’ perspectives through arguments,” Dates said. “Sometimes it may not be the greatest to argue, but at the end of the day, hopefully, you can hash out your differences and see something differently.”

nings and an RBI. Knizner had two hits, an RBI and scored three runs while walking twice. Palmeiro and sophomore shortstop Joe Dunand each had a hit, plus two and three RBIs, respectively.

Wolfpack starting pitcher Brian Brown performed admirably in the second game, carrying a no-hitter into the fifth inning and holding a talented Yellow Jacket squad to seven hits and three walks, while striking out three.

The tables turned in the series finale as Georgia Tech exploded offensively, and while NC State didn’t struggle to score runs of its own, its pitching was subpar, resulting in a 16-7 Yellow Jacket victory.

Down 5-0 in the fourth, the Wolfpack battled back, loading the bases after a walk, a Dunand double to right and another walk, bringing NC State’s home runs leader, senior designated hitter

Chance Shepard, to the plate.

Shepard delivered with a grand slam — his 10th home run of the year — to tie it.

The Pack wasn’t done doing damage in the inning, as the very next batter, Deatherage, homered to left field, giving NC State its first lead of the game and all the momentum.

But all the work the Wolfpack did to come back and take the lead disappeared in the fifth and sixth innings as the Yellow Jackets scored seven total runs.

A Knizner double and an RBI single from freshman outfielder Brett Kinneman in the seventh made it 11-7, but Georgia Tech answered with five runs of its own in the eighth to win 16-7.

The Wolfpack returns to action Tuesday in Greenville to take on in-state rival East Carolina University.

On the flip side, it may be better to move on and look to add someone new. In terms of free agents, the only really attractive option is James Reimer of the San Jose Sharks, who has put up a strong performance after a midseason trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs. He would be a great add for Carolina but is likely to have a few other suitors.

The team could also make a trade.

It could look to add a goalie at the draft the way it did with Lack last summer. Francis could look to

pry loose a goalie in a timeshare situation, such as Brian Elliott or Jake Allen of the St. Louis Blues or Frederik Andersen or John Gibson of the Anaheim Ducks. Or, as with forwards, as the draft moves closer, a bigger name could become available.

The future is bright for the Carolina Hurricanes, but there is work to be done. The team needs help both up front and in net. If Francis can make those necessary improvements, a return to the playoffs in 2017 looks like a real possibility.

Duke clinched the doubles point and two singles points, but it was Clemson’s comeback singles courts that took home the win. Junior Robert Dudley collected the winning point for Clemson and will be a player to watch in the State matchup.

NC State holds a 4-3 record against the Tigers this season and will look to make it 5-3 after this match.

Whichever team — Clemson or NC State — wins Thursday will move on to face No. 1 Virginia in the next round. After the ACC tournament, the team hopes to move on to NCAA play.

The No. 12 NC State baseball team won the first two of a three-game series against No. 19 Georgia Tech this weekend before falling in the finale, snapping its eightgame win streak.

The Wolfpack (26-10, 10-6 ACC) caught fire offensively the entire series, scoring 30 total runs on 38 hits and was solid on the mound in the first two games before the Yellow Jackets (24-11, 8-9 ACC) broke things open with 16 runs in Game Three.

In the series opener, the Wolfpack fell behind 2-0 early before scoring three of its own in the fifth inning.

Then strong pitching, defense and five more insurance runs proved to be enough to get the win.

With runners on second and third, sophomore center fielder Josh McLain doubled down the left field line, scoring both runs to tie the game at two apiece. After eventually advancing to third, McLain scored to give the Pack the lead when sophomore second baseman Stephen Pitarra hit one to second that was bob-

bled, allowing both to reach base safely.

After adding another run in the sixth on back-to-back doubles, NC State made a Yellow Jacket comeback improbable with a four-run ninth inning, giving Georgia Tech a five-run deficit while down to its last three outs.

With two outs, sophomore third baseman Evan Mendoza hit a routine fly ball to right that was dropped, scor-

ing the runner from first and allowing him to advance to second. After a Pitarra single scored Mendoza, junior catcher Andrew Knizner singled and sophomore right fielder Brock Deatherage reached on a fielding error to load the bases. Junior first baseman Preston Palmeiro then singled to right to drive in two runners, and the Pack won 8-3.

In the second game, the

Wolfpack jumped to an 8-0 lead, and even when the Yellow Jackets closed the gap, NC State kept adding runs eventually winning 15-6 to clinch the series.

Eleven different Pack players notched a hit, led by McLain, who had three hits, two RBIs and scored three runs, and Pitarra, who had three hits in the first three in-

Hurricanes look to return to playoffs next season Andrew Schnittker Staff Writer

Bolstered by the play of its young players — mostly on defense — the Carolina Hurricanes were able to play their way into the playoff race this season. This growth has the team optimistic it can end its sevenyear playoff drought next season, but there is still work to be done to make that a reality. The team will need to bolster itself in two key areas this summer: goaltending and goal scoring.

Need number one, as general manager Ron Francis put it, is goal scoring. The team ranked 27th in the league with 196 goals scored this season. That simply will not cut it for a playoff team.

“The area we fall short in is probably the goal scoring,” Francis said at the team’s end-of-season media availability. “We had 16 overtime losses, between 3-on-3s and shootouts. If we can find more scoring there, that’s a big difference for us.

We need to find a way to score more

goals at the right time.”

In terms of system help comes prospect Sebastian Aho, who torched the Finnish Elite League this season.

Unless they are able to beat the odds and win the lottery for a top-three pick, the Canes are slated to pick 13th in the upcoming entry draft.

So, there are three options to add:

scoring, trades and free agency.

The team could make a trade at the draft for a scoring forward. It seems likely if Francis chooses to go this route, he would be looking to add a young forward who can contribute for years to come. The team could look to pry a young restricted free agent from a cap-strapped team,

much like the way the Columbus Blue Jackets got Brandon Saad from the Chicago Blackhawks last season.

Two options in this regard would be Chris Kreider of the New York Rangers or Alex Killorn of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Both are restricted free agents, and the Lightning and Rangers have their hands tied due to the salary cap. Both are young, quick scoring power forwards who would be good fits.

Of course, if Francis really wants to shake things up, he could go for a bigger fish. With rumors that Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene has fallen out of favor with coach Patrick Roy, the speedy center would be a great fit for Carolina. There are always others such as Duchene who hit the block closer to the draft.

A player of Duchene’s caliber would cost a lot in trade assets, but Francis has the ammunition to pull it off if he chooses. The team currently owns 11 picks in the upcoming draft, including two first-rounders.

Carolina could use these or one of its many prospects in a trade.

Another option would be free agency. The team has a projected $37,000 in salary cap space for the upcoming season and will need to spend to reach the floor.

“We think there certainly will be guys available on July 1 who are interesting,” Francis said. “If we can get the right guy at the right term and money, we’re all about doing that.”

It is unlikely the Canes would be able to lure in Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos, the cream of this year’s free agent crop, but Kyle Okposo of the New York Islanders, Andrew Ladd of the Chicago Blackhawks, Loui Eriksson of the Boston Bruins or Mikkel Boedker of the Colorado Avalanche could all be good options.

Of course, while goal scoring is a huge need for the Canes, one could argue goaltending is even more pressing.

Poor play in net was a big reason for the slow start to the season that cost the team a playoff berth, as both

Men’s tennis falls to Fighting Irish on Senior Day Taylor Peers Staff Writer

The No. 42 NC State men’s tennis team suffered a heartbreaking loss to the No. 43 Notre Dame on senior day at J.W. Isenhour Tennis Center.

The Wolfpack (17-13, 5-7 ACC) lost 6-1 in the final regular season match to the Fighting Irish (1412, 6-6 ACC) before ACC tournament play begins later next week. The loss may have a significant effect on ACC seeding and NCAA selection. While the two teams are ranked similarly, Notre Dame now has an advantage after coming off a three-game winning streak prior to this match.

Before the match, Wolfpack seniors Simon Norenius and Thomas Weigel were honored on the court. The two, ranked No. 49 and 89 in the singles ITA polls respectively, have become a dy-

namic doubles duo to be reckoned with and are ranked No. 54 in the nation as a pair. Both are in the top 10 for total singles wins and top 11 for doubles wins in school history. Weigel needs two more wins to match the school record for most wins in a dual season.

State isn’t the only team looking to fill the shoes of the seniors; Notre Dame will say goodbye to five members of its lineup at the end of the season.

“It never feels good to lose,” Norenius said. “I feel sad that it’s our last home match, but we have ACC now to focus on. I’m looking forward to that.”

Norenius collected the single point for NC State against Notre Dame, which was his 25th win of the year and 18th for the spring season. He is close to being eligible for NCAA play as an individual.

“I’ve changed a lot,” Norenius

said about his time at State. “The coach of Notre Dame just told me that I’ve improved every match since freshman year. I’ve gotten better as I’ve worked harder and harder.”

Weigel put up a fight against his opponent No. 32 Quentin Monaghan but couldn’t pull it off despite what looked like a comeback in the second set of singles.

Junior Nick Horton and his pa r t ner, sophomore Michael Ogden, came close to overcoming their doubles opponents but were cut short after the other courts finished first. Notre Dame clinched the doubles point, starting their lead off early. They continued to dominate with five out of the six courts taking first set victories.
