Despite high-profile cases, most sexual assault victims stay silent

t happened before she knew what was going on.

On a rainy football weekend last September, Residential College in the Arts and Humanities senior Kary Askew went to a fraternity to watch the game on television and visit with friends.

As the afternoon wore on, it became one filled with cheap mixed drinks and friendly conversation. Eventually, Askew went upstairs in the fraternity to sleep. Earlier that day, Askew had struck up conversation with a brother of the fraternity.

It happened before she could protest.

Askew told him no, wincing in pain, but was met with no relief. When he left the room, she ran away as fast as she could.

Askew’s story is similar to the experiences of many women, including MSU students, who have experienced some kind of sexual assault. Experts say the stigma

attached to many assault victims has led to the emergence of an underlying rape culture, allowing others to place blame on the victim rather than punishing the attacker.

Since Welcome Week, four on-campus sexual assaults have been reported to police, according to the MSU Police Clery Crime and Fire Log. Although numbers for sexual assaults in all of East Lansing were not available as of press time, a case regarding a string of four reported attacks on students is slated to reach Ingham County Cir-

Dantonio faces another tough test at Iowa Murder trial continues,

When Mark Dantonio returned to East Lansing seven years ago as MSU’s 24th head football coach, he looked to Iowa as a model.

In the Hawkeyes, he saw a template for how he wanted to shape his program, one built with modest recruits on a foundation of toughness, discipline and player development.

Throughout his tenure, Dantonio has utilized a similar formula to significantly elevate MSU’s profile as the Big Ten’s winningest program since 2008.

“They can play with anybody, anytime, at any place and that’s who we can be,” Dantonio said.

“That’s what we tried to emulate somewhat, and I think that’s the case.”

Despite his overall success lead-

Hours of police questioning had passed since MSU alumnus Tyler Aho rushed his roommate, nutritional sciences senior Andrew Si n g le r, to the hospital after he was st abb ed on the evening of Feb. 23 — McCowan but Aho still had no idea his friend had died.

It took him about 10 minutes, Aho testified in court Thursday, to drive Singler to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Singler faded in and out of consciousness, groaning in pain and holding a towel

to his chest.

By the time Aho heard the news around 8:30 the following morning, he said it “passed over his head.”

Aho continued his testimony Thursday in the murder trial of Okemos resident Connor McCowan, who is accused of fatally stabbing Singler that night. McCowan, 19, allegedly drove to Singler’s home at Castle Point Apartments in Meridian Township to confront him after his sister, Shay McCowan, told him Singler had injured her during an argument. Singler and Shay McCowan were dating at the time of his death.

MSU POLICE: Sexual assault reported in chem building A sexual assault reportedly occurred between 3 and 4 p.m. on Sept. 25 in the Chemistry Building, police say.

A 20-year-old female student told police on Oct. 1 she met a man while sitting outside of Wells Hall on Sept.

25. The man walked her to the Chemistry Building and allegedly assaulted her in a stairwell, MSU police said in a statement.

When another person began walking up the stairs, the victim told police the suspect ran up the stairs to an unknown location. She told police she did not sustain any injuries.

Iowa has six players from Michigan high schools on its roster. Many of them MSU recruited, and head coach Mark Dantonio probably wishes he had a few wearing green and white.

One of those players is starting wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley, a 6-foot, 205-pound junior from Michigan prep powerhouse Brother Rice High. MartinManley has caught 26 passes for 225 yards and a touchdown through five games this year in addition to a pair of punt return touchdowns.

“Yeah, I’ve been very impressed. (He is) probably a lot like B.J. Cunningham coming out of high school,” Dantonio said of MartinManley. “He’s a very good football player. So obviously wish he was here.”

Rivals.com deemed MartinManley a two-star recruit in the class of 2010 and the No. 34 player in Michigan.

Two defensive starters for the Hawkeyes, tackle Carl Davis and true freshman cornerback Desmond King, also bolted from the Great Lakes State after high school.

Davis is a Sterling Heights Stevenson High product while King hails from Detroit.

Davis and King have played in every game and notched 15 and 18 tackles, respectively.

Dantonio compared the 6-foot-5, 315-pound Davis to MSU’s last All-American defensive lineman.

“Carl Davis, another guy that we recruited.” Dantonio said. “Big, physical, reminds you a little of Jerel Worthy in some ways, the way he’s been playing, especially thus far here this year.”

Assaults

University officials estimate 80 percent of on-campus sexual assaults go unreported from page one

cuit Court next week.

Some are horrifically violent, striking unexpectedly under the cover of night.

Others go unnoticed until it is too late, hidden by a veil of alcohol and false consent.

Either way, few are reported. University officials estimate only one in five sexual assaults that occur on campus even reach officials, said Shari Murgittroyd, program coordinator for the Counseling Center’s Sexual Assault Program.

Aftermath After the fact, Askew felt it was her fault she’d been raped.

“I was feeling that guilt that wasn’t really mine to feel,” Askew said. “I thought maybe I dressed a certain way or acted a certain way, and those were the wrong things to do.”

Growing up among a conservative Catholic family, Askew feared her mother would blame her for her own victimization. Even worse, she feared her father would lose respect for her.

“My biggest fear is that my dad would be so disappointed in me,” she said. “I would never want my dad to think any less of me.”

In the aftermath of an assault, Murgittroyd said it is normal for victims to blame themselves. She said the people victims share their experiences with also run the risk of placing blame on them for what happened if they don’t fully understand the gravity of the situation.

“We (in society) silence them, tell them not to talk about it,” Murgittroyd said. “They’re gonna get blamed anyway, so why just not say anything? The whole silencing thing is part of a larger culture of oppression.”

Over time, sexual assault has become so normalized and expected that its own subculture has emerged as a result, Women’s Resource Center Director Jayne Schuiteman said.

“We live in a rape-prone culture,” Schuiteman said. “We live in a culture where we might say sexual assault isn’t OK, but in reality we don’t do much to discourage it, and in some cases we condone or praise it.”

The blame game In terms of blame, Murgittroyd said the notion of sexual assault plays into gender roles, which children learn from birth.

“Sexism and gender violence is so ingrained in our culture,” Murgittroyd said. “We start teaching boys and girls conceptions of gender at a young age. Boys are aggressive, assertive, entitled for what they want. Little girls are gentle, quiet and pleasing.”

Schuiteman said the confusion also has to do with the conflicting expectations young men and women are faced with.

“Women are supposed to be sexually available, but

searched the apartment. He brought up the 911 call Aho made to police the night Andrew was stabbed, during which he said he found Singler stabbed in his apartment and did not witness the crime.

Aho then admitted he had lied to 911 dispatch, also refusing to give his address, because he did not want to risk getting caught by police.

He also asked Aho if he used drugs recreationally, which Ingham County Assistant Prosecutor John DeWayne openly objected to. Ingham County Circuit Court Judge Clinton Canady III said the information was irrelevant to the case.

Bergstrom then discussed a discrepancy between his initial interview with Meridian Township police and his court testimony. In the interview, Aho told police he did not see a knife in McCowan’s right hand until after he stabbed Singler. In his testimony, he said he saw him walk into the apartment with a knife in his right hand.

Aho said the shock of rendered him incapable of remembering the details of the scene until later.

“This event was obviously very traumatizing,” Aho said.

“When my mind rebooted, I could think more clearly.”

Trial proceedings will resume at 8:30 a.m. Friday.

Staff reporter Celeste Bott contributed to this report.

they’re supposed to be virginal at the same time,” she said.

“Guys are expected to be players, and if they aren’t, they may try to talk a good talk in front of their buddies. There’s pressures on men and women for very different reasons.”

Askew said such ideas ultimately lead to blaming women’s everyday factors, such as wardrobe, for their own assault.

“We don’t often think of men and think of them as victims in the same breath,” she said.

“If they are victim by another man, it’s assumed it must be a situation of being gay …

Which is not necessarily the case at all. If they’re victimized by a woman, oftentimes they’re not taken seriously.”

On the docket Recently, East Lansing has experienced its own set of incidents regarding sexual assault.

MSU police are investigating an attack that allegedly occurred between 3 and 4 p.m. Sept. 25 in the Chemistry Building. The 20-year-old female student did not contact police until Wednesday.

In August, a man suspected of committing a string of four sexual assaults was arrested. Oswald Scott Wilder Jr.,a 26-year-old resident of Vernon, Mich., allegedly assaulted four MSU students while they were walking home at night. He is scheduled to face trial next week.

Last Friday, all four reported victims testified during a preliminary examination. Barely keeping her composure as she spoke, one she said she was unlocking her back door and was struck to

Continued the ground, waking up on her back with her feet in the suspect’s hands. When she screamed for help, no one came.

“Our house has motion lights, and we all have to go to the back door, which is poorly lit,” she said. “The next thing I know, I wake up on the ground next to the shed.”

Another alleged victim said her attacker dragged her behind a dumpster by her hair and hit her head against it, giving her cuts down her face. When she reached out to a stranger, her pleas went ignored.

Wilder is scheduled to appear for his trial Oct. 9 in Ingham County Circuit Court. If he is convicted, he could face life in prison.

Coming forward Askew hid her secret until the following April, when she decided to report the assault to police. For the past few months, she used shopping and partying to dull her pain — but no matter what she did to run, the attack haunted her.

“I had been having these nightmares about the perpetrator calling me and … threatening me,” Askew said. “Even though I know he wouldn’t contact me, I just kept having these terrible dreams.”

East Lansing police Capt.

Jeff Murphy said it is not uncommon for victims to hesitate before alerting authorities of their assault.

“There (are) a lot of vic-

tims that are unsure,” Murphy said. “They’re upset, they wanna talk to family, they’re embarrassed. They feel like they put themselves in a bad situation, and they don’t really know how to handle that.”

Askew also alerted the university’s Department of Student Life, which handles all university-related sexual assault cases involving two students, this past April. She said a report was compiled, her attacker was contacted and she has not heard back from the department since.

Although the likelihood of resolving the issue remains higher when the assault is reported immediately, Murphy said police must treat assaults reported later the same way as timely reports.

Last month, Askew said she was sexually assaulted again. This time, she reported it immediately.

“I might have said while I was drunk that I was okay with having sex with the guy, but I was in no state to be doing that,” Askew said.

East Lansing police confirmed both cases are under investigation.

Schuiteman said the university aims to make students feel comfortable reporting to authorities if they have been sexually assaulted.

“The reporting rate is very low, and we’re trying to change that,” she said.

“We want to create zero tolerance for sexual assault.”

Fresh off their first bye week, the Spartans will bring their No. 1-ranked defense to Kinnick Stadium.

Sophomore quarterback Connor Cook moved on from the lategame benching drama at Notre Dame and remains the starter this week, with the same gang of skill players around him.

Multiple players will continue to rotate among the offensive line, as they have all season, and perhaps newly-converted tight end Jamal Lyles, a redshirt freshman, will find a way to contribute in the passing game after an extra week of practice.

What appears to be a closelymatched game in MSU’s first week of conference play could prove to be monumental if the Spartans hope to contend in the Legends Division.

Regardless of outcome, Saturday’s contest will set the tone for the Spartans’ course through the Big Ten, and it begins with the team most similar to themselves.

“We’ve set the tone, set the standards for championships and that’s what we’re chasing,” Dantonio said. “It goes through Iowa City at this point. That’s all we know. We’ve got to move our football team.”

opener at noon, but it’s the Hawkeyes that appear to be mimicking MSU’s blueprint for success in 2013.

Both programs have long been known for power running attacks, but at No. 7 nationally in total defense, Iowa’s (4-1, 1-0) strength lies on that side of the ball, similar to the Spartans.

The similar DNA between the programs likely has contributed to four of the past six meetings being decided by a touchdown or less.

University officials look to address curious book shop is more than its cover cheating methods in online courses

By Anya Rath

By Justine McGuire jmcguire@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

Offering online courses is relatively new at MSU, and the campus community still is working toward the best solutions for academic problems that can arise, officials said.

Online courses generate increased complaints of academic dishonesty that warrant different kinds of investigation and communication, University Ombudsperson Robert Caldwell told the Steering Committee earlier this week.

The university began offering classes online around 2001 and has a diverse offering of more than 100 online courses, but courses are not available in every subject.

“As a university community we are still learning about the online teaching environment,” said Caldwell.

Office of the Ombudsperson is charged with resolving disputes among members of the university community, among other things, and mostly handles complaints related to academics.

One of the most common problems the office deals with is academic dishonesty, he said.

In face-to-face classes,one potential problem professors face is people taking exams for students. It’s harder to prevent such activity in an online setting, he said. A potential solution involves technology that asks for a thumbprint.

Packaging senior A lyssa Skinner, who has taken several online classes, said it would

be easier to cheat in an online class.

“If you have friends in the class, the professor would need to keep an eye on that because you could just do everything together,” she said. “I don’t know if they could prevent that.”

As far as exam cheating goes, she said notes usually are allowed, but timed exams and programs that don’t let students go back help prevent cheating.

Marketing associate professor Forrest Carter’s online classes mostly involve entrepreneurship projects and although the students could have someone else doing the work, it’s unlikely and not something he’s had to deal with, he said.

The students meet with instructors at least bi-weekly to give reports and do the same with outside mentors, Carter said. That much interaction makes it harder to cheat, he said.

Ralph Putnam, an associate professor of education, has structured his online courses to have emphasis on discussion forums and short essays, which he said gives cheating smaller incentives — although that was not the intention, but a side effect of the class design.

“There’s definitely potential for dishonesty,” he said. “You have the potential that someone else is doing the work for them because they’re not sitting there in class. The only way they could cheat is to have someone else do all the work.

Someone else would be taking the class — we have no way of knowing that.”

In 1969, Ray Walsh began selling books out of the basement of his house on M.A.C. Avenue.

Forty-four years later, the MSU alumnus still is providing a plethora of reading material for students and community members at Curious Book Shop on Grand River Avenue.

Walsh said many people walk by the store without sparing a second glance because it appears to be so small.

Although the book shop is only 18-feet wide, it is 100feet deep and has three floors stuffed with books, com ics, magazi nes a nd posters.

“We have a lot more than people expect,” Walsh, 63, said. “Our inventory is frequently changing. We currently have over 5,000 science fiction paperbacks.”

One summer, he had a lot of free time and spent it reading 50 books. When he was finished, he sold the books through a classified ad.

Soon after, a professor sold Walsh 1,000 science fiction paperbacks for $100, which he sold from his basement in 1969.

When Walsh graduated in 1971, he was offered a position at a record company in California, but turned it

down.

“I didn’t really want to move,” Walsh said, laughing.

“I had too many books.”

After selling books from different spots in East Lansing, Walsh opened the current location of Curious Book Shop in 1973.

Walsh also owned Argos Book Shop in Grand Rapids, Mich. from 1976 to 2006 and opened Archives Book Shop in East Lansing in 1987.

Since then, Walsh has traveled across the country to find material for his stores.

At Curious Book Shop, the value of products range from 60 cents to a few thousand dollars for rarer items.

The name of Curious Book Shop stems back to Walsh’s youth when he lived in Detroit.

“I would take the bus there every day after class,” Walsh said. “That’s the place I bought my first science fiction paperback and (it) got me interested in reading.”

When he’s not selling books, Walsh enjoys writing.

Black heritage on display during events

parts of albert ave. to close for construction

April Jones ajones@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

In efforts to bring together MSU’s student community to address problems often associated with black heritage, MSU’s Alpha Phi Alpha designed an eduactional week informing students on various issues.

Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity created a week of events with a theme of “We the People.”

The topics throughout the week addressed the history of black students in universities, explaining ways to succeed while keying in on unemployment rates for minorities, racial injustice and business startups. The wide variety of events began on Monday and will end on Sunday.

Keyon Clinton, chapter president and electrical engineering senior, said the events were focused on redefining themselves in the African-American community and establishing an agenda to become a proactive race.

Every year, fraternities and sororities of MSU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council Devine Nine greek organization select a week to be their primarily week, highlighting their organizations and focus on national initiatives, said Robert Biddle, MSU’s National Pan-Hellenic Council advisor.

Alpha Phi Alpha stood as a leadership figure for activism throughout the 1900s into the civil rights movement, said Henry Ward, fraternity brother and food industry management senior.

“We started off (the week) with a historical standpoint and

discussing things further back in history and then as the week progresses, it slowly becomes more modernized to raise awareness for today’s young adults in college,” Ward said. “The events are meant to give an overall sense of pride in our students.”

Ward said the point of these events are not to only discuss the fraternity, but to help engage the community.

“All of the programs are open to everyone,” Ward said. “We make sure they’re not limited to one particular group so we wel-

come all MSU students to come and participate.”

Coronal justice sophomore Devante Johnson attended the events throughout the week and said he personally connected with several topics.

Johnson said the fraternity’s Wednesday event, “Blackenomics,” hit home when the topic of refund checks arose.

“It just opened my eyes up to a lot of things that I wouldn’t really realize,” Johnson said. “It really gives you something to think about.”

A portion of Albert Avenue will be closed from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Friday for construction, East Lansing officials said in a statement.

City employees will be repairing sewer lines underneath a portion of Albert Avenue encompassing Gunson, Ann and Durand streets, according to the East Lansing Department of Public Works.

A detour will be in place during construction.

“Students must speak up for future of E.L.” This article is somewhat silly. The students are “tourists” in this town. They come and they go with very little concern for the city that hosts them. Any meeting to discuss anything with students is done as a courtesy and has zero weight in what the elected officials will do. This would be like spring breakers in daytona florida going to meetings and suggesting change to the city, it ridiculous. THIS IS NOT YOUR TOWN!! YOUR TOURISTS! Kizmet Paradigm, Oct. 2

I half agree with this comment. “Any meeting to discuss anything with students is done as a courtesy and has zero weight in what the elected officials will do” is absolutely true.

But students are not tourists. They are residents, even if only for four years. They live, shop, and socialize here, and contribute a considerable amount of money to the city through consumption and taxes (i.e. rents that pay the property taxes for a management company). The city SHOULD care about student input, but they DON’T (and never will). meh, Oct. 3

Munn Ice Arena adds new LED lights, improves sustainability

By Celeste Bott cbott@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

Starting this year, MSU hockey fans will be able to see games with more clarity, Munn Ice Arena will be more sustainable thanks to new LED lights.

Deputy Athletic Director Greg Ianni said the idea of LED lighting came when installing a new ice-making system.

“We realized there was so much heat being given off by the other lights, it was causing us to lose energy,” Ianni said.

LED technology uses less wattage — essentially, less energy is used for the same light output, Infrastructure Planning and Facilities Design Administrator Lynda Boomer said.

Installing the new LED lights cost $575,000 but officials expect to earn it back in 5 -7 years The new lights were installed t h is su m mer a nd shou ld cut dow n the energ y bill significantly.

“When lights in an arena like Munn are on, they’re on a long time,” Boomer said. “That uses a lot of energy. With these lights, clarity for hockey players will be a lot better. And we had set up test fixtures for the coaches’ approval and they like it as well.”

LED creates a brighter, whiter light, and the new lights can be controlled and dimmed, which also saves energy, Boomer said.

“The lights are instant on, instant off, whereas the others had a 5-10 minute warm-up time,” she said. “And if there isn’t a game, you can dim light-

ing for cleanup. So, you’re using about a third of the energy, and with the controlled capability, you can dim and don’t need to have full lighting at all times.”

The cost to install the new lights was about $575,000.

Ianni said with energy savings, they expect the lights to pay for themselves in about five to seven years.

Munn Ice Arena Manager Tom Campbell said he is excited about the new lights because they will make spectators feel like they’re outside.

“I’ve seen a before and after shot of the lights, and you can clearly see that our lights before cast a yellow hue all throughout the rink,” Campbell said.

Campbell expects the new lights to change the experience of the game for fans, helping the Spartan supporters get a better look at the hidden features of the game.

“The lights make everything in the rink whiter,” Campbell said. “The ice is brighter and the scoreboards pop. The dark numbers will pop out of the white home jerseys. You can even see the expressions on the players’ faces much better.”

Student commission talks couch burnings

By Derek Gartee dgartee@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

MSU and East Lansing has had a bad reputation for couch burnings in the past, so this year, the University Student Commission plans to put in extra effort to eradicate the issue.

The University Student Commission is a commission of MSU students who make proposals and suggestions to the East Lansing City Council addressing the problems students face. Their second meeting of the school year was Oct. 1, when members met to outline their initiatives for the semester.

Issues included the rise in tuition costs and the continuation of party litter policy, but the main topic of conversation was couch burnings.

Commission chair Marisa Martini said an unusual number of couch burnings throughout the summer sparked their debate. She sees these burnings as a big safety risk, not as a mode of celebration.

“There is no reason to take part in it.” Martini said.

She and the other commissioners hope to address this issue before the spring, when couch burnings increase in the height of the basketball season.

East Lansing police Capt. Jeff Murphy said couch burnings were a major problem for the police and fire department this summer, but noted the number of burnings has gone down since the fall semester began.

Besides being a nuisance for all residents of the city, another big problem with couch burnings are the misappropriation of emergency responders, Murphy said.

“Police and fire have to deal with burning items in the road — it takes the emergency response out of position to deal with bigger problems,” Murphy said.

Another issue of importance to the commission is dealing with party litter. The city defines party litter as bottles, cans, cups, kegs, food wrappers or contain-

er. Officials consider the waste detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare.

The commission has pushed for changes to city ordinances in order to curb party litter in the past — in 2011, the city made an ordinance that increased the penalties of party litter charges.

East Lansing City Clerk Marie Wicks said the change was a necessity meant to address repeat offenders. The police now have the ability to charge houses

that repeatedly break this law.

So far, the changes seem to be working, she said.

“We have had bad offenders, but the city is looking better,” she said.

With the changes starting to take place, the next step for the city and the commission is education.

“We’ve got an ordinance in place, now its just about reminding people that we have an ordinance,” Wicks said.

lated. She now has about 50 different freshwater species.

There are several of medium-sized tanks in her living room, kitchen and basement, but her bedroom is where the majority of the fish live. Smaller tanks line the edge of her bed, bookshelves and closet.

An entire wall of her room is devoted to housing at least 24 tanks.

Breeding allows her to sell, trade and auction the excess fish to help pay for food and other expenses.

“I really, really wish this were more of a popular hobby,” Burke said. “If you’re keeping fish, don’t give up. … It ’s really rewarding.”

Sibling rivalry coming to East Lansing on hardwood Omari Sankofa osankofa@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

If resuming Big Ten play against Illinois and Northwestern this weekend isn’t enough to motivate senior setter Kristen Kelsay, a certain player on the Illinois roster certainly will provide some additional motivation.

Freshman setter/defensive specialist McKenna Kelsay, Kristen’s little sister, will be on the opposing bench.

And Kristen doesn’t plan on going easy on her younger sibling.

“Def initely on Fr iday night when we step on the court, our game faces will be on,” Kristen said. “Right now, we’re just really excited. It’s a blessing for us to be on the same court together against each other, or really with each other in that aspect.”

It’s sure to be a friendly sibling rivalry Friday night as Kristen looks to lead the No. 9 MSU volleyball team (13-1 overall, 2-0 Big Ten) to their 12th-straight victory.

“She’s still fighting for playing time, as any fresh-

Senior setter Kristen Kelsay serves the ball Sept. 20 at Jenison Field House. The Spartans defeated Eastern Michigan in 3 sets.

Cathy George, head coach

man is,” Kristen said. “So we’ll see whether or not she gets on that court.

“But either way, we’re both on this big court together.”

Though Illinois is unranked, it should be a tough matchup for MSU. The Fighting Illini beat the Spartans at Jenison Field House last year, and made a national championship appearance as recently as two years ago.

“They ’re a ver y talented team, they have a lot of those players still on the team,” head coach Cathy George said.

George complimented Illinois head coach Kevin Hambly, saying he’s done a great job with the Fighting Illini during his time as head coach.

“They’ll be ready to play, there’s no doubt in my mind,” George said.

MSU will take on Northwestern Saturday. Similar to Illinios, Northwestern handed MSU a home loss last season. “(Northwestern is) very, very disciplined, plays good defense

and have some great players on their team as well,” George said.

Illinois and Northwestern will be facing a higher-ranked Spartan team compared to last year, and their desire to exit the weekend with an upset will keep MSU on their toes.

“After beating a team like Penn State, everyone in the nation takes notice of you,” junior libero Kori Moster said.

“Now we’re not able to be this underlying team that’s gonna come out and take people by surprise.”

However, the team understands the challenge of Big Ten season and that upsets can happen with regularity.

They will approach the weekend with the same mindset of last week’s upset over then-No. 1 Penn State.

As George said, it’s not the team’s first rodeo.

“We do know how tough the Big Ten is,” George said. “It’s easy to keep it into perspective and keep it right there.”

MSU will play Illinois at 7 p.m. Friday and will take on Northwestern at 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Saturday ’s game against Northwestern is Children’s Cancer Awareness night. Fans are encouraged to wear paja-

Then-freshman goalie Jake Hildebrand tends the net during the game against the US National Team Development Program on Jan. 22 at Munn Ice Arena.

By Zach Smith zsmith@statenews.com THE STATE NEWS nn

A hot goaltender can make or break a team.

Tim Thomas carried the Boston Bruins to a Stanley Cup in 2011, and Jonathan Quick did the same for the Los Angeles Kings the following year.

For the MSU hockey team, finding its man between the pipes won’t come down to a single game or practice, but will be chosen on a weekly basis based on who the coaching staff feels has the hot hand.

Last season, then-freshman goalie Jake Hildebrand and then-junior goalie Will Yanakeff split time with Hildebrand starting 28 games and Yanakeff in 14.

“They are very capable from a talent and skill level, and I can see a benefit of being able to play two goaltenders,” head coach Tom Anastos said. “If guys play hard in front of both, both guys can win. We are going into it very open-minded, knowing that we have two guys that have proven that they can win.”

Unlike other sports, Anastos said the physical nature of hockey and the back-to-back games throughout the season set up well for a rotating goalie system.

Last year, Hildebrand finished with a 9-17-2 record and a 2.35 goals against average, while Yanakeff ended the campaign with a mark of 5-81 and 3.06 goals against.

Yanakeff spent the summer in the weight room doing

everything possible to get back in the net, and said both he and Hildebrand are ready to shoulder the load for the Spartans this season.

“It means a lot for a team knowing that you can have full confidence in two guys,” Yanakeff said. “Jake played really well last year. He really stood on his head and we relied on him a lot, especially at the beginning of the year when we were trying to find our game and figure things out. But that’s everything for a team when you can fall back on your goaltenders.”

He added the pair are good friends off the ice, but when it comes to practice and competition, it’s strictly business.

Hildebrand was an honorable mention on the All-CCHA Rookie Team his freshman year and had at least 27 saves in 22 of his 28 starts.

He said the healthy competition pushes each to the highest

level, and forces both to be the best goalie on the ice. But after a tough loss, it’s good to have someone who has been there before.

“It’s good to have a healthy relationship with the other goaltender,” Hildebrand said. “You have a tough night and have a lot of shots and bounces don’t’ go your way. It’s nice to talk to somebody about it that knows what you’re going through.”

The Spartans have more experience on the defensive side of the puck this season, but Yanakeff said the team still will rely on the goaltenders to do their job, no matter what team they’re facing.

“They’re expecting everybody to play big, so when we get our chance to get in the net, they want us to play that way,” Yanakeff said. “Our main focus as goaltenders is the puck and stopping the puck. It doesn’t matter how you do it.”

Two early Michigan goals proved to be too much for the MSU women’s soccer team to overcome against the No. 21 team in the nation.

The Spartans (7-3-2 overall, 1-3-0 Big Ten) lost, 2-1, to the Wolverines (8-2-1, 2-1-1) in their second-consecutive loss to a Big Ten opponent.

Michigan got off to a quick start and controlled the ball for much of the game early on. In the 10th minute, Michigan midfielder Christina Murillo sent a hard shot over junior goalkeeper Courtney Clem’s head on the left side from 25 yards out.

Less than five minutes in the 15th minute, Michigan midfielder Meghan Toohey knocked a shot past Clem after getting a rebound from a blocked shot.

The Spartans got a lucky break with a media timeout soon after.

“We had to fix our psychology first of all,” head coach Tom Saxton said.

“We gave up a tough goal to begin the game. I think a lot of people took their heads out of it a little bit, so we coached the psychology during that break and said, ‘Look, you gotta get back in this game it’s only a two goal game.’”

During the timeout, Saxton also made the decision to replace Clem with sophomore goalkeeper Gabrielle Gauruder after Clem gave up the two quick goals.

The Spartans rebounded nicely and both teams went back and forth. Even with a late goal by soph-

omore defender Mary Kathryn Fiebernitz, the Spartans couldn’t overcome the early goals.

“They’re a very good team, so you have to play every minute, I felt very good about how we competed after that first break,” Saxton said. “We told the team afterward you have to play a full 90 minutes, but we got off to a slow start and that cost us the game.”

Gabrielle Gauruder came in after MSU went down, 2-0, in 15 minutes Fiebernitz scored her fifth goal of the season on a header in the 78th minute. Sophomore midfielder Kirsten Evans took a free kick from the right side of the field and crossed it in the box to give Fiebernitz an opportunity to do what she does best.

“That’s been my key and strong point off of corners and free kicks so that was a perfect opportunity to put my team on the board and put us back in the game,” Fiebernitz said.

After the goal, the Spartans had a glimmer of hope, but weren’t able to capitalize. With time running out, MSU pressed the ball downfield and sophomore forward Allyson Krause punted it nearly halfway downfield near the goal, but time expired before anything could happen.

“We knew there was about 12 minutes left so we knew we needed to continue to play the way we were and keep settled down and not just force it because that’s when chaos starts,” senior defender Kelsey Mullen said. “We had our chances we just couldn’t finish.”

The Spartans will travel Sunday to face Iowa (9-2-0, 1-2-0) in Iowa City, Iowa.

If you find a way to have it all, grab it. capricorn (dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5 — Step into more responsibility. Delays and illusions or hidden dangers provide obstacles. This is a test. Work out your problems in private now. Air travel gets more complicated. Take caution.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-feb. 18) Today is a 6 — Pay extra attention. It’s a good thing. Plug a financial leak. Travel and romance both look good for a while. Reduce internal tension through meditation. Encourage self-reliance, and handle your own chores. pisces (feb. 19-march 20) Today is a 5 — Review your budget.

An unexpected development offers new opportunities. A pop quiz could surprise. Anticipate some controversy. Your reasoning gets challenged.

Focus on your work.
