The 2022 fall semester is here, and so is new information regarding COVID-19 on campus.According to the Raider Respect webpage, the university currently does not require facemasks inside campus buildings or class rooms, with the exception of when visiting the Etter Health Center, the COVID-19 test ing center, if determined by CDC communi ty level or when requested before entering a staff or faculty member’s office. Students who suspect they have COVID-19 and are symptomatic can receive a no-cost test at the Etter Health Center. Asymptom atic students may obtain a self-test kit at the Etter Health Center’s self-care area during normal business hours or in the lobby of the Reed Operations Center. If you test positive, you are instructed to isolate. Isolation guidelines are located on the Raider Respect webpage. For those who wish to stay up to date with their vaccinations, the university will be holding a COVID-19 booster vaccine clinic on Wednesday, Sept. 7, in CUB room 125 (Air port Lounge) from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. The Pfiz er booster will be offered, and students must be at least six months out from completing their primary series of either Pfizer or Mod erna or two months out from receiving their Johnson & Johnson vaccine to qualify. The last day to sign up for the clinic is Sept. 5, and the sign-up page can be found in the link in the email sent out on Aug. 11. Please note that the clinic will be canceled if fewer than 10 individuals have signed up by the close date. More information regarding SU’s response to COVID-19 can be found on the Raider Re spect webpage.
The events featured crafts and games, along with an SU staple, “Mocktails.” There was even an appearance by the bird of the hour, Big Red, as the mascot walked around taking photos in the summer sun. The event was an excellent place for freshman and return ing students to interact with each other as they returned to an in-person world. The event also allowed new students to learn more about student or ganizations such as the campus radio station, WSYC, a variety of fraternities, sororities and student-athletic groups. The party offered many crafts for students to make and take home with them, including things like stone painting, suc culents with pots for decorating, keychain making and coloring pages. WSYC hosted a tie-dye station allowing students to cre ate a personalized Shippensburg T-shirt.Students could also partici pate in a variety of games. The SU Cheer team hosted a big in flatable take on “Hungry Hun gry Hippos” that involved hav ing participants being bungeed to a wall and running forward to collect more dodgeballs than their opponents. Also returning were the toilet bowl races, a race around a small track sitting on toilets made to be mobile with wheels. There was also corn hole for those looking for some thing to do while drinking their mocktails, as well as Spikeball for those feeling energetic in the heatOverwave.by the Ceddia Union Building (CUB), there was a DJ and photo opportunity location for students looking to share their Shippensburg pride. There was also a station where stu dents could leave their mark on campus by drawing with chalk in front of Reisner. Making popcorn and cotton candy, staff and student workers were out in front of Reisner in the heat an hourEventsbeforehand.likethe block party are only the beginning of what is happening on campus this fall. For more information on upcoming events on campus, you can look at the official Ship website or you can go to the in formation desk in the CUB. We can’t wait to attend athletic events, art exhibits, musical performances, poster sessions, recognition ceremonies and all the unbelievable experiences we have at Ship. There is such a rich variety of activities and events on campus and in our sur rounding communities that you can attend and enjoy. So, here’s a friendly Raider challenge: Pick three new things that you will commit yourself to experiencing this semester with others. Perhaps try something new, something different and something maybe you have thought about doing before but never took the initiative to follow through. As the semester begins, I really want to encourage everyone to be an active member of the Ship community. Envision a kind and connected campus where each one of us knows we belong and make a difference. Please reach out to fellow Raiders and be with each other however you are able. It will make someone’s day a little bet ter. Remember, the smallest of gesture can make the largest impact in someone else’s life.
Welcome back Raiders! I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and is feeling recharged as we begin the fall 2022 se mester. Fall Welcome Week has been a blast and you can feel the excitement of being back on campus in the air. A special thanks to Ashley Spencer, director of New Stu dent and Family Programs, and the many staff within First Year Experience, Transfer Student Support, Student Affairs, Academic Affairs, the CUB, Multicultural Student Affairs, the moving crew and all contributing students, faculty and staff. At the end of the day, everyone felt very welcome to be on campus, and a bit happily exhausted. The Ship campus is looking better than ever and none of this would be possible without the hard work of our outstand ing staff and faculty. Everyone has been preparing for your arrival for weeks and we can’t wait to see our Raiders walking along sidewalks, traveling in and out of residence halls and gathered in outdoor spaces, classrooms and labs as the semes terTherebegins.are fewer things that Colleen and I like more than strolling along campus, visiting with our students and talking with them about all their experiences and the remarkable things they are engaged in.

In Friday’s ruling, Cohn Jubelirer noted the state Legislature did not expressly state that ballots lacking a handwritten date on the exterior envelope should be rejected. But other sections of the election law do require certain defective ballots to be invalidated, such as those that reveal a voter’s identifying information, she wrote.
The Pennsylvania Department of State, which oversees elections, said that election results from the three counties would allow it to certify the results of the May primary, in cluding for governor and Senate.
The Slate staff is happy to welcome both returning and new students to Ship pensburg University’s cam pus. We hope that you are just as thrilled as we are to be spending the fall at Ship. The fall 2022 semester is an important one for our campus, as it is the first fall semester where activities on campus are nearly back to “normal” following the worst of the COVID-19 pan demic. Our new students will be having a full fall wel come week and our classes will be in-person. For some, this may seem small, but for those of us who have not experienced a “regular” se mester of college this is an exciting change. This year, the Slate will be managed by me, Piper Kull. I am a junior English major at Shippensburg and, in addition to the Slate, am involved in the campus lit erary journal, The Reflector and the campus radio sta tion, WSYC. I am an avid artist, writer and musician. Also managing The Slate are managing editors, Eliz abeth Peters and Paige Shope. Peters is a junior communication journal ism and media major with minors in art and biology. She is also a student am bassador, where she helps get new students oriented with the campus commu nity and represents the uni versity at admission events. Shope is a senior commu nication, journalism and media major with a graphic design certification. She is the flute section leader for the Shippensburg Univer sity Marching Band and the public relations director for WSYC.Our team has many ideas and events planned to keep The Slate true to its goals while hopefully improving upon the organization that has been left in our hands. We are working to put to gether workshops for com munication journalism stu dents and those who want to learn more about how to operate in a newsroom. These will be open to any one with an interest in the media.Shippensburg Universi ty’s student-run newspaper was founded back in 1957 and since then continues to honor its core values of integrity, webreathingtrulytheingpustheslateonline.com.everyfoundeducation.accountability,responsibility,serviceandTheSlatecanbeinnewsstandsalmostTuesdayandonlineatWevowtoservethecamcommunity,highlightthegood,thebadandugly.Wealsovowtoencapsulateourliving,university.Whilecertainlyaimtouplift our school and surround ing community with all the wonderful things happen ing here on campus, we must also provide an honest look at ourselves.

Jubelirer’s decision said the require ment that voters date the return envelopes of their ballots had no obvious purpose. After filing suit against the three counties, state officials learned that a fourth county, Butler, failed to include undated mail-in bal lots in the election results it certified to the state.The Wolf administration chose not to add Butler County to its lawsuit because the state’s top elections official had already cer tified the county’s results and “balanced the need to have accurate results with the need to have finality in these already-certified elec tions,’’ the judge wrote.

A Pennsylvania judge has ordered three Republican-controlled counties to add about 800 contested mail-in ballots to the results of the May election, ruling in a legal dispute that stalled statewide certification of the primary results for governor and U.S. Senate. The Republican judge sided Friday with the Democratic governor in a lawsuit over whether mail-in ballots that lack handwrit ten dates on their return envelopes should be counted. The suit is the latest in a series of le gal battles over the state’s 2019 election law, which greatly expanded mail-in voting. The law requires voters to date the enve lopes. But Commonwealth Court President Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer agreed with Gov. Tom Wolf’s administration that the lack of a date was a minor irregularity and should not result in those voters’ disenfranchisement. The 2019 law eliminated straight-party voting, a provision favored by GOP lawmak ers, but also gave Democrats a broad expan sion of mail-in voting. Since the pandemic, Pennsylvania Democrats have voted by mail in far greater numbers than Republicans. Berks, Fayette and Lancaster counties were ordered to count the undated mail-in ballots, and the judge gave the counties a Wednesday deadline to certify their primary election re sults, including the undated ballots, and re port back to state election officials.
“The dating provisions at issue do not ex pressly provide that such ballots should not be counted, unlike other provisions of the Election Code,’’ the judge wrote. “When cer tain provisions of the Election Code do not expressly provide for a consequence of non compliance, the courts have found that, with out something more, such as fear of fraud, the ballot should not be invalidated.’’
“We believe this ruling means that coun ties must henceforth include undated ballots in the totals they submit to the Department of State for certification,’’ said Amy Gulli, the department’s spokesperson. The ruling came more than a month after the Wolf administration filed suit against the counties’ election boards to force them to count the undated ballots and certify their results.Berks County is reviewing the decision and has not made a decision on an appeal, said spokesperson Stephanie Weaver. The Lan caster County board of commissioners de clined comment. An email was sent to Fayette County officials seeking comment.
The 2019 election law requires voters to write a date next to their signature on the outside of mail-in return envelopes. But the handwritten dates do not determine whether voters are eligible or if they cast their ballots onCohntime.

Opinion B1Tuesday, August 23, 2022
Coming to college for the first time can be very intimidating. Maybe this is the first time you’re acting independently, or you’ve never been this far from home. While your freshman year can seem scary, there are many things you can do to make the transition into higher education easier. Below are some tips and advice for incoming freshman adjusting to life on campus.
This may be something you’ve heard before, but if you care about deadlines, use a planner. A planner is a great way to keep track of as signment due dates, and even plan your day-to-day activities. Time management is one of the biggest skills to learn in college, and a planner can help you stay prompt. Many also find it helpful to read due dates for significant projects, due dates in the syllabus and write that down ahead of time. You nev er know how busy you might be two months from now, and you want to make sure you stay on top of your Groupwork.work can be a large part of your classes. When working on a group project, be sure to communi cate. If no one steps up to organize meeting times or open the door for discussion, then weeks might go by before you all get something done. Take the initiative, and encour age yourself and others to clearly communicate. If something unfor tunate happens during the period of a group project, such as one of you gets sick, be honest with your groupmates.Beasopen as you can , and usu ally people will understand and work something out with you. You don’t want to end up with a project that doesn’t have your name on it and a zero. Don’t be afraid to com municate with your groupmates and even make friends!
Speaking of making friends, if you want to meet new people out side of your classes, sign up for some of the clubs or groups on campus. There is a wide variety of communities and groups on campus that may interest you. It’s much easier to break the ice when everyone is there because of a com mon interest. Even joining a student involve ment organization that you only have slight interest in may allow you to explore the kind of things you like to do. Finally, make time for yourself. It’s easy to let your mental health slip if you’re staying heavily in volved in your classes. Give yourself a break every once and a while. Whether it’s sleeping in on that day off, or if it’s just a few minutes to step away from your homework and take a breath. You’ll perform much better on tests if you’re well rested, have a clear head and a confident mentality.

The inaccessibility of Broadway hurts everyone Adam Beam Assistant Opinion Editor
When COVID-19 shut down the whole of the world, many fans of musical theater found themselves living with uncer tainty: the uncertainty that Broadway may never return, or even live theater in general. Thankfully, though the inter mission was long, Broadway did return. Musicals whose openings were long overdue finally got to see the light of day, and beloved favorites got to start right where things left off.Unfortunately, one thing that also returned with Broad way is how financially inacces sible it is. However, this is a problem with live theatre that has always been present. The pandemic has only magnified this issue. To give an idea of how Broadway prices have changed over the years, according to a statistic done by Statista.com, the average price of a ticket to a Broadway musical was $78.94, but as of the 2018-19 season the average price was $122.73. Even after the pan demic, Broadway prices still sit at an average $113.29 as of May 2022. It’s important to set these prices against the backdrop of the pandemic, a time that financially hurt ev eryone. Broadway producers have to recuperate the massive budgets they put into these productions, but it becomes a double-edged sword when it becomes harder and harder to make it inside a theater. What makes it worse is that it’s clear Broadway producers have very little understand ing regarding the constant increase in ticket prices. The Tony Awards — easily Broad way’s biggest night — served as a prime example for this lack of common sense. For this year’s 75th Annual Tony Awards, the ceremony was of fering student rush tickets to attend. On paper, what a great idea. The catch? The tickets were $250 and only accessi ble to NYC students. On top of that, the tickets would have to be picked up in-person with a valid student ID days before the event was to take place during hours when most stu dents would likely have class. Not only were producers ex pecting college students to drop $250 on top of a $6 facil ity fee (Playbill.com), but were also anticipating that many students would skip class to get them. I must reiterate, Broadway productions aren’t cheap to produce. On top of the actors, orchestrations, lighting, sets, and costumes, there’s even just general maintenance of the theaters that causes those budgets to skyrocket. “The Lion King” opened on Broad way with a budget of $27.5 million (SuccessStory.com). However, the Broadway com munity struggles to survive because the door to accessing it closes more and more every year. As inflation hurts more and more people every day, it seems less and less likely that people are going to spend the money on gas, parking, and then ultimately putting in $200 or more for two and a half hours of entertainment. It’s important to note that this comes from a massive fan of musical theatre, one who would give anything to see shows like “The Book of Mor mon” and “Hamilton” live on a stage, but this is also coming from someone who wakes up in a cold sweat at least once a week thinking about student loans and the million other debts that pile up on a yearly basis. I want to make the time for Broadway, but Broadway clearly doesn’t want to expand its fanbase, rather its wallet. Arriving to a new school and going to the cafeteria for the first time can be an intimidating moment. You might wonder: where do I sit? What is there to eat? Who do I sit with? However, you can rest easy, because this is not your average high school cafeteria. This is Reis ner, the campus dining hall. The first thing anyone needs to know is that the dining hall is generally open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; how ever, meals aren’t normally prepared until their assigned time. These are the same hours for your meal swipes (7–10:30 a.m. for breakfast, 10:30 a.m.–3:30 p.m. for lunch and 3:30 p.m.–8 p.m. forNowdinner).that we have the ba sics out of the way, on to my personal guide to this deli ciousFirstlabyrinth.andforemost, get there early, but not too early. As I mentioned earlier, there are only a few hours through out the day that you’ll be able to get the most out of this experience. Though this is common knowledge, the dining hall tends to get busy during this time. While there is usually some food for ev eryone, there’s going to be less of However,it. I’m rarely early to anything myself. So for those late risers and class room sprinters who have enough on their time plate as it, I suggest you have a go-to food. You’ll figure out what yours is quickly, trust me. Personally, I’m always mak ing a beeline for that pizza, although not everyone’s taste buds welcome greasy cam pus pizza with open arms. It is especially helpful to be friendly to staff and at the very least use the basics of please and thank you. They’re people just like us, too, and some are even stu dents. You never know, you might end up late to dinner and not have any pizza left, only to be saved from the jaws of hunger at the last minute by the awesome cam pus pizza guy going the extra mile to make sure you’re fed before closing. All purely hy pothetical, of course. Though it has been said that an ounce of a cure is worth a pound of prevention. Therefore, it may be best to plan when you’re going to eat ahead of time, especially if you’re on a meal plan of two meals a day. I know I’d rath er not have a vending ma chine pop tart for dinner, but I wouldn’t mind it during the morningBesides,rush.maybe some friends are free at the same time as you and can join you. As obvious as it may be, eat ing with friends is usually better than eating alone. However, there isn’t any thing wrong with eating alone. It’s something that happens to everyone on cam pus at some point. Either your friends can’t make it at the same time as you, or you just want to relax and have a bite on your own. Whatev er the reason may be, don’t worry; most people are too busy doing their own thing to think anything of it, and those that do (on rare oc casions) aren’t the people whose opinion you’re going to value.

In the media, Greek life is often portrayed as a major part of the college experience. However, the typical media rep resentation of Greek life — especially with sororities — does not represent it as a whole. In fact, it leaves out the most im portant aspects of being in a sorority, which are sisterhood, advocating for their philanthropy and giving back to the com munity.Amajor part of being in a sorority is rooted in supporting women and contributing to the betterment of society. Wheth er it be through raising money and awareness for their philan thropy or by doing hours of community service, sororities are actively working to better their communities. With recruitment approaching soon, it is important to keep in mind that sororities are more than just social organizations that have fun. They are groups of women who come together because they are passionate about what their sorority advo cates.Shippensburg University is home to seven sororities: Alpha Omicron Pi, Alpha Phi, Alpha Sigma Tau, Delta Zeta, Kappa Beta Gamma, Kappa Delta Phi NAS and Phi Sigma Sigma. Although all the sororities often give back to the community together, they each advocate for their own philanthropies and values as well. Alpha Omicron Pi has been an active chapter at Shippens burg since the 1980s. Its national philanthropy is juvenile ar thritis, and its local philanthropy is Sister’s for Soldiers. Many sisters of Alpha Omicron Pi are very passionate about these philanthropies, as they have sisters who are directly affected by these causes. Alpha Omicron Pi members are known to val ue college loyalty, scholarship, leadership, service, character and dignity. To be eligible to become a member of Alpha Omi cron Pi at Shippensburg, one must have an overall GPA of 2.5. Alpha Phi is an active chapter on campus with approxi mately 26 members. Their philanthropy, the Alpha Phi foun dation, focuses on raising awareness for heart health for wom en. Their values are sisterhood, scholarship, service, loyalty, and character development. The minimum GPA requirement to join Alpha Phi is a 2.5. Alpha Sigma Tau was founded on Nov. 4, 1899, at the Michigan State Normal school, which is now Eastern Mich igan University. The sorority invests in women by installing the skills necessary to navigate life and inspire members to enrich their lives and communities. Alpha Sigma Tau actively works to extend their commitment beyond its own member ship through the Women’s Wellness Initiative, the chapter’s national philanthropy. Alpha Sigma Tau empowers women to excel in life through its five core values: intellect, respect, ex cellence, graciousness and connections. The campus chapter was founded in 1971 and is currently home to 15 active mem bers with a minimum of a 2.5 GPA to join. Delta Zeta is a sorority whose core values are friendship, curiosity, generosity, citizenship, empowerment and belong ing. Their philanthropy focus is hearing and speech, and they raise money for those in need of hearing aids under the Star key Hearing Foundation. Along with this, Delta Zeta works to support and educate families of children who are hard of hearing through their partnership with the Painted Turtle Camp. This experience allows children who live with serious illnesses to partake in fun experiences. This fall semester Del ta Zeta is starting off with 22 girls in total and require a mini mum of a 2.7 GPA to join.
Kyler Alexis, who plays baritone, said that being in the SUMB is one of the best experiences she has had at SU. “I was able to adapt to college life a whole lot easier. The band also gives students chances to travel and ex tracurricular activities. It feels really good to give back to others and represent the university by playing music.” Julia Baumgardner, who plays tenor saxophone, echoed similar sentiments about SUMB.

“I’ve been involved in music en sembles for most of my life, and joining the SUMB has been one of the best experiences for me mu sically,” Baumgardner said. “I’ve grown into a better person and mu sician since joining.” The SUMB community feels like a big family. Everyone comes to gether to support each and Ship pensburg University as a whole, Baumgardner said. The SUMB will make its 2022 season debut on Sept. 10 at the foot ball game against Seton Hill in Seth Grove Stadium.

This summer was a very exciting season for rap. Many big artists dropped albums after a long hiatus. The following albums were my “Comefavorites.Home the Kids Miss You” – Jack Harlow While this album brought out mixed emo tions with online commu nities and fans, this album is far from horrible. Harlow has a talent for making ra dio hits and certainly does that here. Songs like “First Class” and “Dua Lipa” have been topping charts since release. While some of the album felt contrived, the rest seems to be exactly what was to be expected from Harlow’s sophomore “Irelease.NEVER LIKED YOU” –Future“INEVER LIKED YOU” is a clean album through and through. Future really tapped into his roots on this one. This album features big names such as Drake, Kanye West, Young Thug and more. There isn’t one vibe to describe this album, as it jumps from a “late night drive” to the “club on a Friday.” All around, a great release with tracks that will be played for years to come. “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” – Kendrick LamarAsLamar states in the opening track “United in Grief,” 1855 days have passed since his last album release. This long-antici pated project built upon the legacy Kendrick Lamar has created, while bringing fresh sounds and voices. Lamar has never been afraid to tackle harsh topics in his music, and it’s no different this time. “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers” offers lyrics and instru mentation that speak to the heart, and a few of the big gest, loudest tracks of the summer all in one album. “Vinyl Days” – Logic This album marks this Maryland rapper’s second release post-retirement and his final album signed to the label DefJam. While a 30-song album might seem excessive, some of the tracks are skits or interludes. The tracks that are songs are certainly not lacking. Every song features a fresh presentation of Log ic’s bars and unique beats. Logic sampled everything on this album from his per sonal vinyl collection, and the result is semi-nostalgic. Overall, “Vinyl Days” is a fantastic close to Logic’s commercial music career, and an excellent throwback “Singtape. Me a Lullaby, My Sweet Temptation” - $ui cideboy$Thissummer marked an important release for the once-underground rap duo, known separate ly as “Scrim” and “Ruby Da Cherry.” Fans of the group had mixed feelings on the singles that were released, but many were pleasantly surprised upon first listen of the album. The $uicideboy$ provide a dark and realistic take on finding wild success in the music industry. This album features fantastic production and a plethora of memorable lines and will go down as one of the duo’s most loved. You can find my high lights from these albums and The Slate’s pop culture jams of the summer in the playlist below.

Kayla Ostriche is a first-year art educa tion major. She is technically a sophomore because she has a year’s worth of credits completed due to being dual enrolled with Shippensburg previously. Ostriche is a decorated artist with many awards and mentions. Her achievements include placing third in a statewide art com petition at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 8896, winning the Gettysburg Times design competition twice and an honorable mention for the Scholastic art and writing competition twice. “Ever since I was a kid, I was always artsy,” Ostriche said. “I liked to create and make things.” She had been exposed to art at a young age because her mom is an artist herself. “She draws and I was always around that,” Ostriche explained. In high school, Ostriche began to take her art career seriously. Her “sole inspiration” was her high school art teacher, Ms. Rob inson. Before her first year of high school, Ostriche was doubtful of her talents and making a career in the art field. “She [Ms. Robinson] taught me and showed me how to create art, how to make a career out of it,” Ostriche said. Her favorite medium to work in is a tossup between acrylic paint and a ball-point pen. “They are my go-to mediums,” Os triche said. Her favorite 3D project she has made is as explained, a concert-like diora ma made of recycled materials, nuts, bolts, nails and music mementos during her soph omore year of high school. Her favorite 2D piece is her colored pencil drawing of her father’s dog tags. Ostriche also had an AP Studio portfolio based around the LGBTQ community, their rights and the discrimination against them. “Being OK with being yourself and not being afraid to show who you are was the theme behind my thesis,” Ostriche said. Os triche translated it into art because she and her friends are a part of the community and have witnessed the hate and discrimination. “I want to do something about it. I want to advocate for it and the only way I know best to do that is through my art.”

At this point in her life, notorious as sassin Celaena Sardothien found herself in the last place she expected. “She’d al ways been so sure she’d make it. But, if she was being honest with herself, Cel aena wasn’t so sure anymore” (pg. 159). After being in a criminal labor camp for the past year, she is given an oppor tunity by the Crowned Prince of Adarlan for her freedom. But, as all things in life, it comes with a price. She must compete against 23 other criminals, ex-soldiers and assas sins for the title of Champion of the King of Adarlan.The13-week competition does not go as planned. Within the walls of the Glass Castle lurks an ancient evil that is killing the other competitors one by one. Celaena, Captain Chaol Westfall of the Royal Guard and Prince Dorian Havilliard of Adarlan must work togeth er to not only overcome this evil alone but also help Celaena win the Champion title.Will these three be able to create a bond of friendship? Is her being an as sassin something that the Prince and Captain can look past to form that rela tionship?Throne of Glass begins a series of ad ventures across lands, and uses magic to tell the readers that family does not meanNo.blood.1New York Times bestselling au thor Sarah J.

The internal struggle the main char acter goes through is one where I want to reach through the pages and give her a hug and tell her everything will be al right.Not only is it emotional in that way, but it is also hilarious with the banter between the three main characters.

Although that challenge will not come without adversity as the Raiders have only 11 returning starters from the 2021 team, losing 17 players from last year’s team. Last season the Raiders finished 9-2, which is the best record the team has posted since 2017 when they made the NCAA playoffs. The Raiders only loss came to Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) foes in Kutztown University and Shepherd University. The Raiders also finished 2021 Ranked No. 8 in The Super Region One Rank ings.This year the Raiders were voted fourth in the 2022 PSAC Preseason football coaches polls. The Raiders were voted in front of division rivals such as Shepherd, Kutztown and West Chester University. However, the Raiders did not receive any first-place votes in the poll.The Raiders return three players who were named All-PSAC players from last season. One of those players is sopho more wide receiver Ian Sheehan. Shee han had a phenomenal first season with the Raiders and led the team in receiv ing yards with 727 yards and six touch downs. The Raiders also bring back defensive tackle Jacoby Sherard and sophomore All-Region place kicker Jax sonOneMontross.ofthe biggest questions for the Raiders this season is who is going to start under center. The Raider’s quar terback room has a lot of new faces after last year’s starter Brycen Mussina grad uated. The Raiders received multiple transfers into their quarterback room over the offseason. Redshirt Freshman Ryan Orr transferred to SU after a red shirt year at Clarion University. Also in the running for the starting quarterback job is Sam Johnson III. Johnson trans ferred into SU from Boston College. Freshman Joey McCracken transferred in from Maine and took the majority of the snaps under center in the team’s Red-White spring game. Leading the Raiders this year is head coach Mark Maciejewski. Coach “Mac” returns as the head coach of the Raiders for his 12th season. Mac ranks second all-time at SU in career victories. This season the Raiders have five home games at Seth Grove Stadium. The Raiders will open their home schedule on Sept. 10 against Seton Hill Univer sity. The Raiders will also host Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Shepherd and PSAC Eastern Division rival Kutz town and East Stroudsburg.

Shippensburg University’s women’s soccer team is seeking to bounce back after a lackluster 2021 campaign which saw it post a 5-11-2 record. This season the Raiders will be trying to achieve their first winning season since 2016. They will have the experience to do so as SU will be returning 23 players from its 2021 roster, including eight seniors. The women’s roster will also include 10 new faces as the team will feature seven first-year players and three transfers. In the annual Preseason Coaches’ Poll, the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) coaches ranked Shippens burg sixth. The Raiders placed above teams such as Shepherd, Lock Haven and Mansfield universities, but behind Kutztown and West Chester who each received first place votes. Returning to the team this season will be junior goalkeeper Kendra Barlow who last season was named to the All-PSAC Eastern Division Second Team. Barlow had 107 saves and two shutouts with an 84% save percentage in the 2021 season. She was the first SU goalkeeper to be named to an All-PSAC team since the 2008 campaign. SU will, however, be losing forward K.K. O’Donnell who was named All-PSAC First Team last season. O’Donnell had six goals and 15 points last season, including a game winner. The Raiders will need someone to step up and replace O’Don nell’s production. The Raiders will begin their season on Aug. 26 against Frostburg State University at the Maryland Soccer Plex. They will open league play on Wednesday Aug. 31 vs West Chester University.SU’shome opener will be on Saturday Sept. 3 against Kutz town University at David See Field.
