Drones and dogs employed in search for Lumberton teen Federal, state and local law enforcement continue the search for 13-yearold Hania Aguilar of Lumberton, NC and have now enlisted the use of drones and dogs to try to locate the teen. On Saturday, the FBI issued a statement that authorities are also following investigative leads. Residents of Robeson County have been asked to search their yards for anything out of place. Aguilar, who went missing Nov. 5, was seen being forced into an SUV by a man in black wearing a yellow bandana, neighbors say. Aguilar is 5 feet tall, 126 pounds, and has black hair and brown eyes.

Search efforts in California fires revved up as rain is forecast
OPINION
Those who have been searching the wreckage left behind by the Camp Fire in Northern California for human remains have ramped up their efforts as rain is anticipated later this week. The rain may help control the blaze, but the mud produced will likely make it more difficult for remains to be found. As of Saturday, 76 bodies have been recovered, but the list of those unaccounted for has increased to almost 1,300. Authorities has stressed that the roster does not mean that all the individuals named are missing. The Camp Fire is 55 percent contained.

Pack the Polls leaders reflect on Talley one stop early voting site
Early voters cast their ballots on Tuesday, Oct. 30 at Talley Student Union. Early voting occurred in Talley room 3285 through Saturday, Nov. 3.
Emily Waddell Correspondent
As midterm elections have come to a close, the Pack the Polls coalition and student body reflected on the use of Talley Student Union as a one-stop voting site. In August, when the State Board met to deliberate on the early voting sites, according to a previous article from Technician, “board members’ main point of contention for the Talley site was the access the public would have to the site with its gates on Dan Allen Drive and other spots throughout campus.” The site was approved in a 5-4 decision. “A lot of it had to do with the Board of Elections and their preferences,” said Andrew McDonald, a senior studying aerospace engineering and co-chair for the Pack the Polls coalition. “It’s a convenient location for our student body. It works out really well that that building is
used so widely.” While campus partners advocated for the site, the decision was ultimately up to the State Board of Elections after the Wake County Board of Elections failed to decide on the one-stop voting site in July. The Board collected measurements and data, and ensured the building is accessible and Americans with Disabilities Act compliant. Brian Mathis, the associate director of Leadership and Civic Engagement, and other co-chair of Pack the Polls, talked about his role in getting Talley as an early voting site. “The appointed political board members decide which site will be the voting site,” Mathis said. “Part of my role was to go to the board of elections meeting with Jess Errico, the student body president, and we spoke on behalf of supporting a site at Talley Student Union.” According to Wake County Board of
Elections, in total 14,491 ballots were cast in Talley. However, Mathis said that they will be using Clear House Data, a nonprofit that tracks student data by providing them with a report with the tallied votes and demographics, though that is yet to be completed. McDonald said that while many came out to vote, they were hoping for an even higher turnout. “We saw a lot of alumni come out,” McDonald said. “As co-chair of Pack the Polls, we were and will be committed to engaging the student body to be involved in the democratic process. It’s part of the education that we want NC State students to get.” Throughout the election season, Pack the Polls worked to increase voter education and participation among the student body. “We do that through consolidating information on the Pack the Polls website, going to RA programming, speaking at other events on campus,” Mathis said.
CONNOR SMITH /TECHNICIAN
“Advocating for an early voting site was also part of that strategy to include and enthuse the student body by having a voting location right here, in the heart of campus.” Mathis said that that centrally located spaces on campus would be ideal for upcoming elections as voting sites. “I think we have proven this year that, logistics-wise, we’ve been able to come together to provide a great voting experience to voters both affiliated and not affiliated with the institution.” Mathis said. McDonald said that the goal for the next election is that Talley will be a one-stop voting site. “That is why we pushed students so hard to the polls,” McDonald. “The great benefit is that 30,000 plus students going through it every day. It was our goal to solidify our case in the future. We’ve already had some debriefing meetings to help with the process next time around.”

UNC-Chapel Hill student appeals honor court decision
COURTESY OF TARYN REVOIR/THE DAILY TAR HEEL
Staff Report
UNC-Chapel Hill graduate student Maya Little, who was found responsible for damage to the Silent Sam statue that previously stood on the school’s campus, filed an appeal last Wednesday against the panel’s decision. According to the News & Observer, the Ph.D. student studying history has
appealed the decision that was made in October by the student honor court panel. Little claimed three reasons for the appeal: insufficient evidence, violations of rights and the severity of the court’s sanctions. Little walked out of her hearing in protest, citing that her trial was not fair and impartial because of the presence of a panelist who openly sup-
ported the upkeep of the Confederate statue. Organizations such as the UNC-CH’s chapter of the National Lawyers Guild came out in support of Little’s decision to walk out. On Oct. 26, the court voted 3-2 that Little was responsible for damage made to the Confederate statue back in August during a demonstration. The damage to the statue included
Little pouring red ink on the base and smearing her own blood on it. Little was punished with a warning letter along with 18 hours of community service over a three-month span. In the past, Little has publically spoken out against the actions of UNC-CH towards black students at demonstrations and town halls at the university.

NC State’s oily investments threaten our future I nst it ut iona l d ive stment from fossi l f uels is ga i ni ng moment u m among college campuses. Universities like UNCAsheville and the University of Massachusetts are Amanda McCloskey two examples of colleges that are actively working Guest Columnist on divesting their endowment funds or have succeeded in withdrawing financial support of dirty fuels, respectively. At NC State, the Climate Reality Project is leading a campaign to urge our administration to divest from the fossil fuel industry. While it once seemed prudent to invest in fossil fuels, now that we know the true cost of these investments, it is clear we must change. According to the publicly available information on NC State’s investment fund, NC State invests about 6 percent of our $1.6 billion endowment in the “Energy & Natural Resources” sector. This percentage represents nearly $10 million of annual destruction of our natural habitat and threatens the air and water safety of countless North Carolinians. The Climate Reality Project here on campus has gained over 1,000 student signatures opposing investment in dirty fuels, met with the Chancellor, gained an endorsement from the student body president and created a research team to search for solutions. We are looking for the administration to make a commitment towards a better future through more thoughtful investing. When we meet this divestment goal, it will be easier for other universities to follow and collectively, that impact can revolutionize the future. Fiduciary responsibility is often used by university administrators as an excuse not to divest. Fiduciary responsibility is a legal obligation that binds investment institutions to make decisions that are for the benefit of their client. For the managers of the NC State Investment Fund, it is their responsibility to do what is best for the students and future students at our institution. It is a matter of putting our best interests first. However, it is hard to use fiduciary responsibility to justify investing in fossil
fuels, since according to publicly available information on NC State’s Investment Fund, environmentally responsible investments have been outperforming the endowment. Furthermore, fossil fuels are contributing to the destruction of our planet, where students will be expected to work and thrive. It is widely acknowledged by the scientific community that climate change will cause significant disruptions in human migration, resource availability and the global economy. NC State’s investment decisions are, at present, exacerbating the dangers we will face in our future. Furthermore, it is essential that our financial actions are in line with our mission statement: “NC State promotes an integrated approach to problem solving that transforms lives and provides leadership for social, economic, and technological development across North Carolina and around the world.” Investing in sustainable energy sources is one way to contribute to social, economic and technological development, particularly as North Carolina boasts a robust renewable energy industry, according to the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association. Socially, we can use our status as a leader among public institutions to make it easier for others to follow. Economically, the oil industry is in decline, having lost global share in the electricity mix 15 years in a row to cleaner options, according to the International Energy Association (IEA). The IEA also predicts that renewables will outperform oil, gas and coal in electricity generation as soon as 2030. Given the scope of the climate crisis, it is time we speak with our money as well as our actions. We have the ability and the obligation to show those in the fossil fuel industry where our priorities lie. This is a cause that impacts all of us on and off campus, we must outgrow the old dialogue and habits of our past generations. It is time we speak for ourselves. Amanda McCloskey is a sophomore studying business administration with an HR concentration and a member of the Climate Reality Project at NC State.

Escaping social media, not escapism, is the key to time management How of ten have you messed up with your assignment deadlines? How often did you have time on your hands, but wasted it only to have to manage a crisis later? Most Paritosh importantly, how many Gaiwak times have you thought Staff Columnist of being a better time manager in the future, only to realize that wasting time and then managing a crisis is a vicious cycle? We often try to escape from doing what we should do when we should do it, and then crib about how life is so busy but mundane. But what are the causes of this escapist tendency? In my peer group, I find very few people who can manage their time well and approach things meticulously (myself included). Most of us end up being at the whim of our desires and end up wasting crucial time when we have it, only to regret it later. In such a situation, eit her a st udent comprom ises on t heir hea lt h or comprom ises on the quality of their work. Ma ny st udent s complain t hey don’t have t i me for leisure or some passion not directly related to the degree they are pursuing. In my opinion, it is the mismanagement — not the lack of availability — of time, that leads to such escapist tendencies which ultimately cause frustration and anxiety. One problem, which I think all the youngsters of my generation face, is our fascination with social media, and the numerous social media platforms available to whittle away time. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are some examples. Some might find it hard to believe, but one study shows that teens spend nine hours every day consuming media. That is almost 38 percent of one day. The temptations are often too hard to resist: you can see pictures of your favorite celebs on Instagram or follow their tweets. The advantage of social media is
that for many people, it is a form of social expression of their feelings and desires. But surely, the time spent on these things can be reduced? More importantly, it is not only the time one wastes on these platforms, but the distraction it causes over a much longer period. You are watching a video and keep thinking about it even when you are done watching it, which hinders your ability to concentrate on more important stuff. Social media has infiltrated our lives so deeply that it is impossible to control its usage, even if for our own good, simply from someone else telling you to do so. The answer, then, is self-discipline. However, if it was so easy, we would not have this problem. Self-discipline requires a tremendous amount of dedication and willpower. But it is also not as difficult as it looks. Applications like Space, App Detox and Off the Grid allow you to track screen time, usage of soc i a l me d i a app s and even block you f rom u si ng you r phone when you shouldn’t be. One way to improve fo c u s a nd thus reduce wastage of time, which ultimately reduces escapist tendencies, is through meditating. Meditation is an ancient art and has multiple health advantages, according to the National Institutes of Health and Harvard. It does not require much exercise, but it requires consistency. Not only does it increase focus and calmness, but if done properly, it can improve the quality of sleep too. There are many techniques for mediation, so anyone can find one that suits them. I am a practitioner of meditation and can vouch for its positive impact. As students, we are wasting a lot of time on things which are essentially distractions to our career path. These distractions lead to escapist tendencies and ultimately cause anxiety. We need to build our discipline to combat these trends, which will definitely prove to be beneficial in the long run.

Ruby Shah Correspondent
For the past two weekends, University Theatre has put on performances of their latest play, “The Rainmaker.” “The Rainmaker” is about a young con artist named Starbuck coming to a small household in a state overrun by drought. He promises to bring back the rain but ends up bringing hope and love to a young girl named Lizzie Curry. This play was presented to the audience with incredible passion and performance. The cast members presented their parts with realism and confidence, making the audience feel everything from happiness to fear. “I think The Rainmaker’s performance was my favorite, because it was realistic and the actor [for Starbuck] was very enthusiastic when performing him,” said Elizabeth Hughes, a second-year studying social work who came to see the performance. The performance of “The Rainmaker” shows that the cast members had studied these characters very deeply and that their understanding of it was enough to make this production an emotional rollercoaster. “I think it was the chance that we got to sit down and focus on the characters themselves,” said Austin McClure, a fourth-year studying psychology who played the character H.C. “The relationships between the characters, figuring out those small quirks about each other and figuring out how to play them on stage was the best part of everything.”
The Rainmaker, Starbuck, took on many forms throughout the entire play, ranging from con artist to love interest and had the audience experiencing many emotions to the end. Carl T. Staub, a third-year studying communication who played Starbuck, spoke about his character and why it was his favorite experience when rehearsing the play. “[My favorite experience] would have to be breaking down the character that I’m playing,” Staub said. “Not only is he a con artist but he’s also a real person. I’m an actor acting as a man who acts. It’s multi-faceted and it’s having to make the choices of just saying conman material or does he really feel this way.” Carson Smith, a second-year studying elementary education, played Lizzie Curry and spoke about her experience with theatre. “I did theatre in high school,” Smith said. “It was sort of an off-and-on thing, and I didn’t do anything last year so I wanted to try it out. I knew it was a super fun show, and I loved the idea of it.” McClure also spoke about his time with the theatre department. “I got my start at college theatre at NC State,” McClure said. “I really just fell in love with this program, and when I read the script I realized how wholesome and enjoyable the story was. I couldn’t stay away.” The cast members of “The Rainmaker” certainly showed their passion for theatre, and they shared that passion with the audience through their performance. “The Rainmak-
er,” as a play, was a great presentation of how the department works together in order to make an enjoyable experience for the entire audience. Showing such an incredible performance would inspire anyone to do theatre and show what they have on the big stage. Staub shared their advice on how people who are interested in theatre can get involved. “Audition … try out [for performances],” Staub said. “We offer Intro to Theatre and Intro to Acting classes that are just three credit hours apiece, so, if you want a little more experience, feel free to try it. And you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don’t take, so if you want to be a part of it, come try.” “If you ever feel the need to get on stage, behind the stage, or be a part of the community, we encourage you to come out because we’re always looking for new faces and new voices,” McClure said. “We want as many people to be a part of this and to share this experience with. If that fear of rejection is holding you back I would encourage you to not let it, simply because this is one of the most accepting communities that I’ve ever been fortunate enough to meet and interact with.” Though performances of “The Rainmaker” have concluded, keep an eye out for University Theatre’s performances during the spring semester, with their next one being “Cabaret,” which will be showing in February 2019.

Wolfpack’s offensive leaders step up in bounce-back win
NICK FAULKNER/TECHNICIAN
Graduate quarterback Ryan Finley throws to the sideline on Saturday, Sept. 8 at Carter-Finley Stadium. Finley had 370 yards through the air during the 41-7 win over Georgia State.
Andrew Schnittker Sports Editor
“Adversity creates opportunities as a leader.” That was NC State football head coach Dave Doeren at his Monday press conference last week. The Wolfpack was looking to bounce back from a home loss to Wake Forest that derailed the team’s New Year’s Six bowl hopes. It did exactly that with a 52-10 win at Louisville. That was a game the Pack should have won handily against a terrible opponent, but making the layups is something this team has struggled with in the past. NC State didn’t let the crushing loss linger, and after Louisville took a 3-0 lead in the game, they never looked back. “I love when our seniors play like that,” Doeren said. “The sand is running out of the hourglass for them. That urgency to play the right way and have fun playing is one thing. I thought our guys really just cut loose and relaxed, didn’t make mistakes and had fun. They really did. Those guys had fun today and I’m glad we were able to create that environment and they went out there and did that.” NC State’s blowout victory, as Doeren
had hoped for, started with the leadership, particularly on offense. “Best players have to be your best players” is a cliché, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true, and the Wolfpack’s best led the way against the Cardinals. Here’s a look at some of the top performers from the game. Graduate quarterback Ryan Finley Finley came through with a strong game after a rough outing from the offense the previous week. He completed 26 of 36 pass attempts for 316 yards, four touchdowns and no picks. After NC State ended its first drive with a punt, Finley moved the ball down the field with authority, spreading it around to his receivers as three pass catches had over 70 yards for the Wolfpack. The Wolfpack’s second offensive drive saw Finley go 6 for 6 for 59 yards, ending with a 25yard touchdown to junior receiver Kelvin Harmon. That moved Finley past Jamie Barnette for second all-time among NC State quarterbacks in passing yards. Finley was ready to answer Doeren’s challenge to bounce back from a tough loss. “His challenge was to get everyone go-
ing, stick to the process and focus on the preparation side of things,” Finley said. “That would lead to the results that we want.” Junior receiver Kelvin Harmon Harmon isn’t a senior, but he participated in the senior day festivities against the Demon Deacons, and is a good bet to leave for the NFL one year early. After a week in which he tied the school record for catches in a game, Harmon caught seven passes for 100 yards and a score to guarantee a finish with over 1,000 receiving yards for the second season in a row. He’s the first player to do that for the Wolfpack since Jerricho Cotchery in 2002 and 2003. “It’s a blessing,” Harmon said. “Just being around the guys that made it happen two years in a row. My coaches trust in me from last year to this year to put me in position to make it, everybody. [Graduate receiver Stephen Louis] for one, [Wide Receivers Coordinator George McDonald], everybody. It’s just a blessing.” Harmon continued to be a chainsmoving weapon for the Wolfpack, going up over defenders for tough catches and critical yardage. He scored the first
touchdown of the game and set the tone on offense for NC State. Senior running back Reggie Gallaspy After the Pack ’s rushing attack put up just 47 rushing yards against a woeful Wake Forest run defense, it bounced back with 164 on 36 carries against the Cardinals. Gallaspy led the way with 73 yards and two scores on 11 carries and added a receiving touchdown. Gallaspy was big part of the Pack’s improved red zone efficiency as well. After going just 1 for 5 scoring touchdowns inside the 20-yard line against Wake, NC State finished 6 of 7 in that regard against Louisville. Three of those scores came from Gallaspy. “Just executing,” Gallaspy said. “That’s all it takes. Just go out there and do your job; don’t try to be a superhero. Just go out there, do your job and it’ll come to you.” Executing has been an issue that has led to NC State losing to teams it shouldn’t in the past, and as recently as the week before this game. Those issues were nowhere to be found against Louisville, and that started and ended with the Wolfpack’s leaders on offense.

Wolfpack stays strong to defeat Highlanders behind Cunane’s 23 points Shrijan Tallury Staff Writer
&
Kailee Jurnak Staff Writer
The No. 17 women’s basketball team outplayed the previously unbeaten Radford Highlanders by a score of 75-58 on Sunday afternoon in Reynolds Coliseum, behind 23 points from freshman center Elissa Cunane. The Wolfpack (4-0) used the height of Cunane and the playmaking ability of graduate guard Kiara Leslie to stay poised in the face of adversity. The Wolfpack went up by 13 at one point before letting Radford (2-1) back in to tie the game. The experience of Leslie, and junior guard Aislinn Konig and redshirt junior guard Grace Hunter were keys to the Wolfpack staying focus. “I think all three of those guards, Aislinn, Kiara [and] Grace,” head coach Wes Moore said. “They all have a lot of confidence and they probably didn’t waver a whole lot there. We are kind of young inside, so those players were struggling a little bit.” The Pack came out slow, taking almost two and a half minutes to get on the scoreboard. Radford meanwhile took advantage to get out to a 7-2 lead, using their strong finishing inside to take advantage of the Pack in the paint. Moore subbed in the 6-foot-5 Cunane to counter the Highlanders and she provided some much-needed defense down low. Cunane’s impact was immediate, with her coming in and getting an assist, scoring a bucket and forcing a turnover with her defense. The Pack continued going to her in the quarter as she finished with five points and had a much bigger impact than the box score shows. “It felt good, I was making my free throws which was very satisfying to me, because I’ve been off on those a bit and just my guards feeding me,” Cunane said. “It felt really good that they were able to feed me, because they were closing out on them so much.” Radford cooled down after Cunane checked in, shooting just 36 percent from the field, but finding themselves only down 14-12.

Freshman center Elissa Cunane makes a move past the defense to go in for a quick layup on Thursday, Nov. 1 in Reynolds Coliseum. Cunane recorded 12 points, three assists and four rebounds during the 83-57 exhibition win over Anderson University.
The second quarter saw Cunane continue her dominance, going head-to-head against the Highlanders best player, redshirt junior Savannah Felgemacher, who finished with 15 rebounds. The two traded buckets on multiple possessions, with Cunane pouring in five more points before being subbed out due to picking up her second foul. Then, the Highlanders got hot from beyond the arc, hitting back-to-back 3’s to take a 24-19 lead. Before halftime, the Pack used a balanced scoring attack that saw five different players score to come back and retake the lead 31-25. Hunter and Leslie were key factors in the Wolfpack’s ability to stay in the game during the first half. Hunter grabbed five rebounds and dished out three assists while Leslie scored seven points and dominated the paint with eight boards. The Wolfpack came out of the gates strong in the third quarter getting a variety
of buckets including a Konig 3-pointer that extended her streak of consecutive games with a 3-pointer to 37. This gave the Pack a nice cushion at 38-25, but Radford wasn’t going to give up so easily and went on a 10-0 run to bring them within three at 38-35. Cunane checked back in to provide the Pack some much-needed scoring and got to work straight away, getting to the line and bullying the Highlanders under the basket. She recorded eight points, going a perfect 6-of-6 from the line in the quarter. “The third quarter we let them make a run and get back in it,” Moore said. “But we got Cunane back in there and made them match up with us. Thought she did a great job.” Konig heated up as well, hitting three 3-pointers in the third, and finishing with 14 points on 4-of-7 shooting from distance. The Pack was only up eight at the begin-
ning of the fourth quarter, but the combination of Cunane and Leslie was too much for Radford as NC State was able to go on a 14-2 run capped by a Konig 3-pointer that gave the Wolfpack a 20-point lead. “Elissa Cunane just put on a show obviously in the second half,” Moore said. “I’m really proud of what she was able to accomplish, but it’s going to get a lot tougher now. We’re going to have to put together a full 40 minutes to compete at the level we want to.” The Wolfpack will be heading to Mexico for the Cancun Challenge to face off against Michigan State and George Washington. “We are going to have to play a lot better,” Moore said. “Now you’re playing someone from a Power Five conference that is picked to finish pretty near the top, so I think it’ll be a pretty big challenge for us, first time on the road, without our fans. We’re going to have to be creating our own energy.”

Flaming hot start pushes Canes past Devils

Carolina Hurricanes captain and forward Justin Williams fights to keep control of the puck against Tampa Bay Lightning center Anthony Cirelli on Wednesday, Sept. 19 in PNC Arena. The Hurricanes beat the Lightning 6-1.

It took just 30 seconds for the Carolina Hurricanes to get all the goals they would need Sunday afternoon, as the Canes beat the New Jersey Devils 2-1 after scoring twice in the opening half-minute of the game. It was the fastest two goals to open a game in Hurricanes’ (9-8-3) franchise history, and also made Carolina just the sixth team in NHL history to score twice in the first 30 seconds of a game. It was a much-needed win for the Canes, who were coming off a blowout 4-1 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets the night before. “That’s the game,” head coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We talk about it all the time how you can have a good game, but that one shift or you take a breath and it will cost you. I thought it was the other way tonight.
We got lucky that they had their two worst shifts of the game to start the game. It benefitted us, obviously.” Canes’ captain Justin Williams scored the game-opening goal on the Devils (8-9-2) just 22 seconds in, and forward M ichea l Ferland ta l lied eight seconds later to make it 2-0. New Jersey fought back with a strong rest of the first period, which included the Devils’ lone goal from forward Pavel Zacha. “I mean, who would have thought that that would be all the scoring just in the first period, and certainly just in the first 30 seconds,”
Williams said. “Every game is a surprise, and not all are the same. That was a battle and a grind. It’s good for us to play some close games like that to have some confidence later on in the season.” In net, Curtis McElhinney had a great game for Carolina. McElhinney stopped 33 of 34 shots faced and made a number of good saves to keep the Devils from tying things up. “The biggest thing is when your team sets you up for some easier reads versus the twoon-ones, the breakaways and stuff like that,” McElhinney said. “The odd-man rushes are where things get hairy. I thought we did a

great job overall, and I was able to see the puck and make the saves.” For the Devils, Cory Schneider was impenetrable for the final 59:30 of play. However, the two early goals against Schneider were enough to give the Devils’ net-minder his 17th straight loss dating back to December of last year. Williams’ goal came 22 seconds after the puck dropped, on the first shift of the game. Williams slotted the puck through Schneider’s five-hole after receiving the puck in open space from forward Jordan Staal, who made a great play at the blue line to keep possession, draw defensemen and get a pass away. For the Canes’ captain, it was just his second goal of the season. “Hopefully that can springboard me to have some better offensive stats,” Williams

Pack men place 11th, women 13th at NCAAs Alec Sawyer,
Assistant Sports Editor
Led by junior Elly Henes’ second straight All-American finish, the NC State cross country teams both finished in the top 15 of the NCAA Championships at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course in Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday. The Wolfpack women finished in 13th place, picking up 367 team points. The NC State men finished in 11th with 342 points, six places better than the Pack men finished last season. For the women, this year saw a slight regression as the Pack finished eighth in 2017. Henes had by far the best finish for either team, placing 16th in the women’s 6k to earn All-American status for the second year in a row. Henes finished 32nd in 2017 but ran the race in 20:11.6 Saturday to jump up to 16th. Behind Henes was senior Nell Crosby, who crossed in 20:44.6 to finish 54th. Sophomore Dominique Clairmonte came in just two seconds after Crosby, placing 62nd. Freshman Heather Holt earned a 146th-place finish at her first NCAA Championships, finishing with a time of 21:25.3. Sophomore Nevada Mareno rounded out the Pack women that contributed to the

said. “Our line certainly hasn’t contributed a lot offensively lately. We had a lot of chances tonight.” Eight seconds later, Ferland made it 2-0. Defenseman Dougie Hamilton intercepted a pass in the neutral zone immediately out of the faceoff and fed it to forward Teuvo Teravainen. Teravainen made a great pass across the ice to Ferland, who rifled it past Schneider. Despite the strong start, the rest of the first period was an absolute rollercoaster for the Hurricanes. New Jersey controlled the puck and the scoring chances throughout the rest of the opening frame and made it a 2-1 game six minutes after Ferland’s goal. The Devils got out quick in transition, and a great pass from forward Jesper Bratt through the Canes defense found the stick of Zacha, who baited McElhinney with the forehand before firing a backhanded shot into the roof of the net. The Canes took the 2-1 lead into the first intermission, but it easily could have been a different story. New Jersey had a number of good looks that didn’t find the back of the net in the first period, including one shot that got past McElhinney but didn’t cross
team score, finishing 172nd with a time of 21:36.6. Those five scores saw the Pack finish with 367 team points, finishing 23 points behind 12th-place Portland. Colorado won the women’s national championship, finishing with 65 points. On the men’s side, sophomore Ian Shanklin was the best finisher with a time of 30:10.9 in the 10k race, finishing 54th. Sophomore Joe Bistritz was next for the Pack, finishing in 88th with a time of 30:32.9. Right behind Bistritz was sophomore Gavin Gaynor, who finished just one place and one-tenth of a second behind his teammate. Senior Elijah Moskowitz finished not far behind Bistritz and Gaynor. Placing 96th with a time of 30:35.6. Sophomore Edwin Rutto rounded out the Pack scorers, placing two spots behind Moskowitz with a time of 30:36.5. The Pack’s 342 points was actually the same as 10th-place finisher Boise State, but the Broncos won the tiebreaker to finish in the top 10. Northern Arizona won the men’s national title, finishing with 83 points. The Wolfpack’s season now comes to an end, with NC State’s runners shifting their focus to the indoor track and field season that will kick off on Dec. 1. the line before the Canes netminder was able to recover. Carolina looked much better in the second period than it did to end the first, as the middle 20 minutes went by without either team adding to the scoreboard. For the Canes, the story of the second period was strong penalty killing, which is something that hasn’t been the case all season. Carolina killed off three penalties in the second period alone. The Canes finished the game out in the third period, playing arguably their best frame of the game. While the Devils couldn’t get much going against the Canes, Carolina also struggled heavily to create chances after its initial offensive onslaught. “[Last night] wasn’t our game, but tonight wasn’t our game either,’’ Brind’Amour said. “I really didn’t like this game for a lot of it. I did like that our guys were competing. We didn’t give up a ton, but we didn’t create very much.” The Canes will now have a couple off-days, before returning to the ice Wednesday to host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Now a quarter of the way through the season, the Hurricanes have spent the year straddling that .500 line. “Winning is a lot more fun, isn’t it?” Williams said. “A better attitude and just a lot more fun around the dressing room. We need to start something rolling here. We need to get it going soon.”
