Journalism and public relations students meet IUP alumnus, Warner Music Nashville CEO

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

Sixteen journalism and public relations students filed into the lobby of Warner Music Nashville Wednesday morning.

The students, led by chairwoman Dr. Michele Papakie, drove to Tennessee to meet with Warner Music Nashville’s chairman and CEO, 1978 journalism graduate John Esposito.

“It is fun for me to see students understand that the only thing that can ever hold them back is themselves,” Papakie said.

During the meeting with Esposito, the students learned about the music industry and his career path.

“I’m intelligent. Not the most intelligent, but I’ll work harder than anyone you know,” Esposito said.

Esposito’s first job in the music industry was at Polygram, which he called “one of the former music giants.” He made connections through Polygram and was later offered a position at Warner.

“It was a really good learning

“It just goes to show that you can do whatever you set your mind to.”

Esposito said when he first arrived at Warner, the company was in bad shape.

He quickly dumped the roster of country music performers, with the exception of Blake Shelton.

At the time, he said, Shelton had “star quality and talent.”

Warner is an admirable company because they won’t give up on

their clients easily, Esposito said.

He and his staff will work until their artists are chart-toppers.

Esposito attributed most of his success throughout his life to working harder than his co-workers.

He said he was quickly promoted within a record store for his attitude and willingness to work hard.

After managing the record store, Esposito worked as an electronics salesman for Macy’s and as an electronics purchaser at Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi later offered him a position as their regional president, but Esposito said he just couldn’t accept.

“I eat, live and breathe music,” Esposito said. He said he knew his heart was — and would always be — in music.

Donald Trump’s presidential victory makes history

By KRISTY SHEARER Contributing Writer K.A.Shearer@iup.edu

Donald Trump was elected to be the 45th president of the United States of America when our very own swing state, Pennsylvania, was called in favor of the Republican nominee.

The long-awaited results of the presidential election were made available at approximately 2:30 a.m. after a long night filled with uncertainty.

“The anxiety level of this election was overwhelming; to know that, in a few short hours, you will have a new leader, and political systems will change for better or for worse,” Lloyd Shakespeare (junior, computer science) said.

Following the announcement, the vice president-elect, Mike Pence, gave a brief victory speech at the Trump Headquarters before introducing the president-elect.

“Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to this country,” Trump said in his acceptance speech early Wednesday morning.

“For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people, I am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify

(TNS) President Barack Obama shook hands with the president-elect, Donald Trump, Thursday in the Oval Office of the White House.

I am reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our country.

-Donald Trump (president-elect) our great country.”

Although Clinton did not offer her immediate concession in a speech, she spoke later Wednesday morning in New York City.

“I know how disappointed you

feel because I feel it too,” she said.

“Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead.”

Republicans also took control of Congress, with 51 to 47 in the Senate and 239 to 192 in the House. Republican Pat Toomey was reelected over Democrat Katie McGinty as the senator of Pennsylvania.

State voters also voted to raise the judicial retirement to 75, which allows judges to remain in their positions for an extra five years.

IUP alumnus Dave Reed was also reelected as the majority leader of the Pa. House of Representatives.

Senate Committee Hilton Garden Inn opens in Indiana on Student Affairs discusses budgeting

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Lead News Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

By SETH WOOLCOCK Staff Writer S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

The Senate Committee on Student Affairs (SCOSA) discussed the future of the Military and Veterans Resource Center (MVRC), students’ emergency contact information and Whitmyre Hall at their meeting Tuesday in the Monongahela Room of the Hadley Union Building Cory Shay, director and U.S. military veteran, gave a presentation regarding the MVRC and their data, history and future endeavors.

The organization began in 2014 when Dr. Michael A. Driscoll, IUP’s president, approved a grant for its funding.

Two years later, the center’s “total interaction between itself and the military-affiliated students is through the roof compared to previous years,” according to Shay.

Shay said that the center has started a new work study program

that greatly benefits students.

The center also has started the MVRC Newsletter to inform the public about its mission.

IUP’s vice president of student affairs, Kate Linder, also touched on the school’s request for students to update their emergency contact information.

“It’s a great thing to bring awareness to, as it can greatly help reach out to someone if a student is presumed missing,” Linder said.

Linder also discussed the upcoming renovation of Whitmyre Hall for the 2018 fall semester.

“Many things will be improved upon, including the classrooms as well as the living area,” Linder said.

The graduate student assembly speaker, Wesley McMasters (graduate, English), said the group’s focus at the presumed time is to keep people coming to meetings and participating.

The Senate Committee on Student Affairs is scheduled to meet again in February.

After beginning construction in April 2015, the Hilton Garden Inn Indiana officially opened to the public Nov. 1.

The hotel is located adjacent to the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex and is one mile from downtown Indiana.

The main reason for building the hotel was to provide a hotel within walking distance of the KCAC. Because the KCAC did not have a hotel, it automatically prevented them from holding several bigger conferences.

The general manager of the Hilton Garden Inn Indiana, Briana Tomack, mentioned another benefit.

“It is nice for parents and alumni to be able to walk around town and not have to rent a car or find alternative transportation,” Tomack said.

The hotel has 128 guest rooms,

an indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a 24-hour business center and banquet and meeting spaces. Additionally, the CH Fields Craft Kitchen is a fullservice restaurant that is located within the hotel and is open to the public. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served every day with the exception of Saturday brunch and no lunch option on Sundays.

A bar and lounge also offers guests or members of the public

craft cocktails, beer and wine. The restaurant is open 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Tomack said the restaurant’s name is a combination of “crimson hawks” and a “reaffirmation of the restaurant’s goal to serve fresh, farm-to-table food.”

IUP alumnus Josh Truitt, of the IUP Academy of Culinary Arts in Punxsutawney and the hospitality management department, is the head chef for the CH Fields Craft Kitchen. Tomack said the hotel is working with IUP students from both the culinary school and hospitality management department, including one intern.

“We have a superior product,” Tomack said, citing “the fact that it is new and we have a lot of additional amenities that none of the other hotels have. Being a Hilton hotel, people know what to expect.”

Tomack anticipates that they will still have some rooms available for graduation in May.

student spotlight Military science professor looks to earn master’s degree while teaching full time

By JEREMY STOUT Staff Writer J.W.Stout@iup.edu

Like most students at IUP, Captain Charles Dunlevy, an assistant professor in the military science department, has a lot on his plate.

While teaching a full course load, Dunlevy is pursuing his master’s degree in adult and community education.

Dunlevy’s path to IUP started out different from most.

When he started in the military 12 years ago as a combat medic, Dunlevy said that he initially had no interest in being an officer and that it was something that he

Most of the career paths for a PhD in psychology aren’t available to me because they require a full-term residency.

Once an officer, Dunlevy shifted around to different positions and moved through various leadership roles until he was asked what he wanted to do.

“I was asked by our branch

manager where I wanted to go,” Dunlevy said.

“I said, ‘Send me to the best ROTC [Reserve Officers’ Training Corps] program on the East Coast.’”

Dunlevy’s drive to get into the classroom comes from a post-army and post-graduation goal of getting into higher education.

“I’m not exactly sure which way I want to go, but I do want to be in the classroom,” Dunlevy said.

“I thought the best way to get exposure was to volunteer on the ROTC side of things.”

Although he already has a mas-

ter’s degree in psychology, Dunlevy said that going further down that path to get his doctorate wasn’t really what he wanted.

“Most of the career paths for a PhD in psychology aren’t available to me because they require a fullterm residency, which I can’t do as an active duty military member.

“But, the ACE program here at IUP — being fully online and being very well-accredited in the adult and community education field — just kind of struck me as a win-win.

“It was an opportunity I couldn’t really pass up.”

Dunlevy said that the material he learned in the ACE program has paired well with what he does in the ROTC program.

He attributed his successes in these departments to time management.

“One of the things the army has taught me is how to manage my time,” Dunlevy said.

“Time is the second most valuable thing that an army officer will have, with the first being the soldiers under his command.

“We take it very seriously. We learn to maximize it.”

Dunlevy said family is also important to him, and that spending time with his kids, six and two years old, is exceptionally important to him.

Electronic duo brightens up the night

By CHRIS HAYES

Copy Editor C.T.Hayes@iup.edu

The Hadley Union Building Ohio Room was home to an electric atmosphere Wednesday night as 3OH!3 took the stage to perform some of its greatest hits.

The concert was presented by the IUP Student Activity Committee (STATIC).

Before the duo from Colorado let loose, the night began with DJ Petey C, a Pittsburgh-based artist, playing a variety of tracks to get the audience warmed up.

After about 45 minutes and several teases and pleads for the ladies in the audience to make some noise, DJ Petey C finally gave way to the main event.

Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte, the duo that is 3OH!3, sprang up from the side of the stage to the awe of the crowd and performed their first few songs.

The energy radiating from the audience, which took up about half of the allotted space in the Ohio Room, was palpable from the start.

After performing a couple of their signature hits to start, including “STARSTRUKK” from their 2008 album “Want,” the duo took a few moments to talk to the audience.

“I heard out here, Wednesdays are like Saturdays for you guys,” Foreman said. “You guys seem so real. You’ve got a dude with his shirt off.”

With that, the majority of the audience glanced over at the front of the stage where,

indeed, a man was laughing without a shirt.

In addition to their own works, 3OH!3 also performed a couple of classic hits from other artists, including Foreman’s solo rendition of “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.

Motte tried to relate to the crowd by asking about Sheetz.

“How many of you guys had most of your meals this week at Sheetz?” he asked.

An audience member joked that he had eaten gas at Sheetz.

“Someone said they eat gas,” Motte said. “I’m really scared for you right now. We should call poison control.”

To round out the performance, 3OH!3 performed some of its classics such as “My First Kiss” and “Streets of Gold.” The duo also performed “HEAR ME NOW” off their

new album “Night Sports.”

While some IUP students seemed to enjoy the night, dancing around and screaming song lyrics, others left disappointed.

Emily Coll (senior, safety sciences) was one of them.

“I’ve definitely attended better concerts at IUP,” she said. “This one was not great in my opinion.”

“It was kind of a waste of $10 I feel like,” Tiffany Carper (senior, dietetics) said. “They didn’t even sing their songs or good songs.

They just kind of messed around.”

Regardless of what students thought of the concert, 3OH3! was grateful that people came out for a night of music.

“We sing what we feel,” Foreman said.

“We sing whatever we want.”

Charity student group to perform Ken Ludwig’s ‘Leading Ladies’

Colonizers’ legacy

By TYLER SCHEFFLER Staff Writer T.R.Scheffler@iup.edu

The student-run theater organization, Temperantia Operas Scholar Theatrique (TOST) and Turned will be performing Friday in the Indiana Playhouse located on Philadelphia Street.

The show, written by Ken Ludwig, is titled “Leading Ladies” and will begin at 7 p.m.

Directors Gabrielle Reed (senior, English) and Mike Van Etten (senior, natural science) have been overseeing the progress of TOST and Turned’s fall play along with the organization’s president, Alyssa Long (senior, English).

“We had a couple of different ideas for the show that our members suggested, so we voted and ended up picking ‘Leading Ladies,’” Long said. “After we pick our show, then it's a process of scheduling, holding auditions, casting everyone and starting the rehearsals.”

two Shakespearean actors who try to inherit a dying woman's inheritance by posing as her nieces.

However, things do not go smoothly for the con-artists, and they are caught up in wild situations.

Reed described the play as a “wonderful farce, full of humor and unpredictable happenings.”

“The cast has worked very hard on this show,” she said, “and I couldn't be more proud of them

and the crew for what they have produced.”

The show will have a second performance on Saturday at the same time. Both shows are free with donations encouraged in lieu of ticket pricing.

Half of the donations will be given to the Indiana Players for usage of their stage, and the rest will be donated to a local charity of Tost and Turn’s choice, such as iCap and Four-Footed Friends.

This piece contains opinion.

I have had the overwhelming privilege of living in different countries on different continents.

Born to Ghanaian parents in the U.K., I lived in India, the U.K. and currently reside in the U.S. I was never truly aware of my ‘blackness’ until around the tender age of 6 when I lived in India. I came to the realization that I was different.

I came to the realization that my brothers and I were different.

From getting called a “monkey” and being stared down, I was confused and had to ask my dad, “Daddy, why didn’t God just make everyone the same?” A question he was never able to truly answer.

It is not unprecedented that blacks worldwide, on the continent of Africa and diaspora, seem to share in the experience of a particular kind of universal suffering and dehumanization. The worst way in which this suffering is known to be manifested into the lives of black people around the world is notably perpetuated systematically and traced down to one main source – White supremacy.

The oppressor has been able to systematically and psychologically force notions of “white is better” into the psyche and lives of blacks in the diaspora, the continent of Africa and peoples with generally darker-melanated skin tones. Such indoctrination has found its way to impede on the common human need for self-actualization of many black people.

Remnants of colonization still remain in many African states. The arbitrary division of countries by colonizers has led to continuous

conflict(s), including failed and unstable states. Upon leaving colonized African countries in a state of complete and utter socio-economic and political tatter, the West continues to infiltrate African states through imperialist motifs. The people of Africa are consistently told they are in desperate need of stable ‘democratic societies’ in order to be successful. But how can this be achieved when the political and socio-economic status of these countries is what is needed in order to truly achieve democratic modes of governance? The attempted transition into democracy after colonization for many African states has led to – and continues to lead to conflicts. The only true way to establish stable forms of governance is through stabilizing the political and socio-economic burdens that were imposed by colonization. Africa is laden with an abundance of rich resources.

However, the pillaging of these resources by the West via neocolonialism is what continues to impede the continent’s upward mobility. Africa must ditch the superficial need of “foreign aid” and invest in their own resources to reach economic and institutional stability. An ahistorical account of Africa’s modes of governance is superfluous.

Traditional African modes of governance have shown to embody mechanisms of democracy where Chiefs meet with elders to reach a consensus.

The only true way for African societies to re-establish this way of life in a modernized way is to take control of their rich resources and build the necessary institutions for general upward mobility.

Crimson Hoax – this is a satirical column Senator Sanders could be the next president of the U.S.

By NIKKI SANTIAGO Staff Writer N.Santiago@iup.edu

Bernie Sanders could be considered for the presidency once again as of Tuesday night.

According to an NNC report, a scandal has revealed that most of the electoral results for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were fabricated.

The number of “real votes” has been recorded as fewer than those that were write-ins for Bernie Sanders, therefore making him the true president-elect.

The oddity of the scandal

doesn’t stop there, however.

According to the report, the truth about the electoral college manifested itself in the form of wishes.

Despite Sanders repeatedly discouraging his Democratic millennial base from voting for him, the senator from Vermont had enough students wishing for his win at 11:11 a.m. Friday (11/11) that it actually came true.

The government, while baffled, has no choice but to accept these new results and allow Sanders to take office in January.

Multiple demonstrations have been planned across the country

Rapper, actor to perform after Thanksgiving recess

By SAMANTHA BELL Lead Culture Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

Joey Bada$$ will be performing at 8 p.m. Nov. 30 in the Ohio Room of the Hadley Union Building.

Jo-Vaughn Virginie Scott, sponsored by IUP’s Student Activity Committee (STATIC), is a hip-hop artist from Brooklyn who donned the name Joey Bada$$ when he became a founding member of the hip-hop group “Pro Era.” The artistic collective consists of rappers, photographers, producers and designers. They were part of Wiz Khalifa’s “Under the Influence” tour in 2013.

Scott’s buzz began in 2010 after a Cinematic Music Group representative discovered one of his freestyle videos on “World Star Hip Hop,” a popular entertainment website.

Scott released his first solo album, “1999,” in June 2012. The album received immediate praise and recognition and made it to No. 38 on Complex Magazine’s best album list in 2012.

orated with big-name artists such as Pittsburgh native Mac Miller on the song “America” from Miller’s mixtape, “Macadelic.” He has also worked with artists such as Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar and Yelawolf.

“It's a very rewarding feeling when we get to bring popular acts to campus for the students,” said Danielle Redding (senior, biology), STATIC executive chair. “It’s because of their positive reactions to them, and their eagerness to

want to come to the shows.”

Beyond his rapping abilities, he also made his television debut in July in the USA Network series “Mr. Robot.”

Some of Scott’s hits include “Devastated” and “Front & Center,” which features a sample of the theme song from the Netflix hit “Narcos.”

Tickets for the show are $10 for I-Card holders and $20 for the public. They can be purchased in the HUB box office.

Washington, D.C. Lawyers from both the Republican and Democratic sides plan to counteract this miracle by

scheduling wish-making sessions at 11:11 p.m. Friday.

The White House and President Barrack Obama have remained silent on the matter, though witnesses saw Sanders enter the Oval Office Friday.

Trump supporters have been arguing about the rigged election since the news broke.

According to various sources, college students across Pennsylvania are among those responsible for the write-in votes.

Students at IUP are also planning a parade in Sanders’ honor to take place Saturday in the Oak Grove.

Together, we can make America great for everyone The election has officially passed, and the United States of America has elected its new leader.

In probably the biggest and most controversial race in this country’s history, Donald J. Trump has been elected as the 45th president of the United States. This may have come as a shock to many, a blessing or a curse depending on what side you were on, but the American people have spoken.

Although the election has passed, the craziness is far from over. Protests have been occurring all over the country, as many have opposed the decision of the American people.

Hillary Clinton spoke Wednesday morning conceding the election and addressing her supporters following her defeat. Clinton discussed her campaign’s disappointment in the results, but offered some words of wisdom to her supporters and any American citizen who tuned in to her speech.

To many, Trump offered fresh, appealing message

By JASON VILLALBA

The Dallas Morning News TNS

After a frantic Google search late Tuesday night, I quickly determined that there is no recipe that would make my morning’s breakfast more palatable. Crow is a dish best consumed with humility and acceptance. And after issuing my comments earlier this year about Donald Trump, it was clear that I was being served a heaping portion.

My initial concerns were, and are still, shared by Republicans of all stripes. Is this man, who has no prior experience in any level of government, capable of leading the most influential nation on the planet? Will his more aggressive and impolite tendencies dilute his temperament or cloud his judgment?

Opinion

But late in the evening on election night, as Trump began to run the table on the swing states, it struck me.

My issues with Trump were about all the things he wasn’t.

What I should have been looking at are all the things he is. To so many people who have become disenchanted with contemporary American politics, Trump is the embodiment of a breath of fresh, clean, unadulterated oxygen.

The paradigm has shifted before our very eyes. Not since the 1980s, during the Reagan Revolution, have we seen a Republican sweep the “blue wall” of the Rust Belt: Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Indiana.

This feat was not accomplished with smoke and mirrors, or even base-level political blocking and tackling.

It occurred because millions of Americans are hurting and experience daily the palpable disconnect of decades of income inequality.

In Trump, they found someone who spoke to them.

Not with the flowery rhetoric of a polished politician, but like their neighbor down at the coffee shop. He talked in frank terms about what they were experiencing. He saw the world like they saw it.

To the establishment, or “cultural elite” as they were called a generation ago, the simplistic talk of a reality TV show host wasn’t worthy of their lofty notions of how the president should engage.

But to the people, Trump was crystal clear: “Things are bad for you. I am going to make it better for you.”

November 11, 2016

the country in this transitional phase of presidencies.

“We are all on the same team,” President Obama remarked in his address Wednesday at the White House.

The President encouraged the American people that this is a time for unity rather than division. He continued that we all should be rooting for President-Elect Trump’s success, because with his success comes this country’s success.

With all the protesting that has gone on the last few days following the election, it is vitally important that we come together as Americans and become a unified nation as we enter this transition into Trump’s presidency.

For Clinton supporters: It is not the time to be sour or cold toward the president-elect or his supporters. It is wise to continue on with an open mind and root for the success of this great nation.

For Trump supporters: It is not the time for “I told you so,” but rather an open mind to unify with all Americans, regardless of whom they supported in this election.

We are stronger as one nation rather than a divided nation. The results are in, and they will not change. The best thing we can do as a country is accept this work of democracy, continue to fight for what we believe in and strive for unity and openness in this transition period.

All eyes will be on coach Joe Lombardi and the rest of the team to see how it fares without the contributions of their All-American swingman Brandon Norfleet, who is now playing professionally for Andrea Costa Imola in Italy, where he is the starting shooting guard. Norfleet was the leading contributor on the offense a year ago for IUP, averaging 22.8 points per game. Teams coached

by Lombardi are usually known for the guard play, and this year should be no different. Anthony

(IUP Athletics) The 2016-17 men’s basketball team posed for its team photo Tuesday. The 2016-17 women’s basketball team has not taken its team photo yet.

Glover (junior, marketing) is the only player from a season ago to start all 29 games, as he averaged 10 points and more than three assists per game. Glover has potential to be “the guy” for the IUP offense, judging by his stellar performance against No. 19 Syracuse University, when he scored 15 points and distributed five assists against a perennial Division I defensive juggernaut. He also had a nice game against Villanova University, a team considered to have the best backcourt in all of college

basketball, adding 11 points and five assists. Glover’s counterpart in the backcourt will most likely be Brandon Spain (senior, communications media), who saw a lot of playing time last season and averaged about 7 points per game.

Another name to keep an eye on is Dante Lombardi (sophomore, business), who found success against Syracuse with a 14-point outing.

The IUP frontcourt is also in good shape entering this season, as Tevin Hanner is the only player

they lost to graduation. They will once again have their rim-protecting center Devon Cottrell (redshirt senior, communications media), who is returning for his sixth season after being granted an NCAA medical redshirt following a season-ending injury early last season.

Cottrell will be counted upon to anchor the Crimson Hawk defense while he looks to become the alltime blocks leader at IUP. He is currently sitting at second place on the list.

Jacobo Diaz (sophomore, economics) is entering this season with high expectations on the offensive side of the ball after averaging almost 9 points per game in his freshman season. Diaz was the only player on the roster to receive preseason All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West honors and has proved himself worthy in the exhibition games, scoring 11 against Syracuse and adding 10 points with eight rebounds against Villanova. A new face that IUP fans should pay attention to is sharpshooting forward Blake Danielak (junior, finance), who sat last

season out after transferring from Drake University. Danielak has displayed his scoring ability after an 11-point game at Syracuse and a 13-point game at Villanova.

IUP is entering the season as the 24th-ranked team in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division II Preseason Poll and is the favorite to defend its Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West title.

It is one of only two teams in the PSAC that is nationally ranked, as Kutztown University comes in at No. 14.

“We’re ranked first in the conference because of the recent success our teams have had within it,” Greg Bearer (redshirt sophomore, education) said. “The torch has been passed on to us to continue this success, and we take pride in carrying out that responsibility.”

The S&T Bank Atlantic Region Challenge will begin at 7:30 p.m.

Friday as the Crimson Hawks will host Lincoln University at the Memorial Field House. They will then face off against Urbana University at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the KCAC.

IUP women’s basketball ready to get back in action as season opener approaches

By SARAH MOLTZ Staff Writer

S.J.Moltz@iup.edu

The IUP women’s basketball squad is officially back in action.

The Crimson Hawk women start their 2016-17 season Friday and Saturday at the Wolf’s Bus Lines Classic, hosted by Shippensburg University.

The Crimson Hawks ended last season with a 21-9 record (16-6 in conference) and a loss to Virginia Union University, 91-72, in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championships.

IUP is coming back this season with seven returning players from last year, with the addition of guards Audrey Stapleton (senior, kinesiology), Ana Hollen (sophomore, kinesiology), Courtney Alexander (freshman, nursing) and Allyson Shipley (freshman, mathematics), along with forwards Maura D’Anna (sophomore, kinesiology) and Alexiss Griggs (sophomore, nursing).

Guard Megan Smith (junior, management), one starter from last year’s squad, averaged 12.7 points and 6.4 rebounds per game in the 2015-16 season.

In addition, she also tallied 50 blocked shots and 25 steals.

Also returning is guard Lauren Wolosik (junior, economics), who transferred to IUP before last year after two seasons at Division I Central Connecticut State University.

Due to an injury, Woloski only started and played in four games last season.

The team concluded its exhibition season with a loss Sunday at

the University of Pittsburgh, 72-40.

Brittany Robinson (sophomore, education) scored a team-high of 13 points for the Crimson Hawks against Pitt.

Before traveling to Pittsburgh, the team headed north to Connecticut for its first exhibition match with UConn (University of Connecticut).

The Crimson Hawks lost, 111-39, to the powerhouse squad. Carolyn Appleby (sophomore, safety sciences) scored a team-high 17 points for IUP against the defending national champions.

The Crimson Hawks will face Bowie State University and the University of Virginia-Wise this weekend. Both teams are members of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) conference.

The Crimson Hawks will continue on the road after playing in the tournament and will battle against conference teams Lock Haven University and Bloomsburg University.

IUP’s first home game will be a rematch Nov. 23 against Bowie State.

The team returns this season with head coach Tom McConnell, who is now in his third season.

His success on and off the court was instantaneous, leading the team to records of 18-10 and 25-4 overall and 8-8 and 20-2 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) during his first two seasons.

According to Ryan Rebholz, IUP’s sports information director, the team has defied multiple expectations under McConnell’s wing so far.

“I think this year is a similar situation, with one returning starter, Megan Smith,” Rebholz said. “But they also have six other players who saw a lot of playing time last year. Not to mention mixing in seven additional players, who I think coach McConnell is looking for all of them to make some sort of impact this season.”

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

The Crimson Hawks remain in the playoff hunt after defeating Clarion University, 3-1, on the road Tuesday.

After defeating the Golden Eagles, 25-13, in the VOLLEYBALL first set, Clarion tied the match with a 25-19 win in set two.

IUP won the final two sets, 2521, and 25-18.

Crimson Hawks head coach Scott Pennewill said that this was the win he alluded to earlier in the year that a team must have to be able to make a postseason run.

“It was a well executed match by our team with some key adjustments made throughout the match, especially in sets three and four,” Pennewill said. “Defensively, we were at our best.”

Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) and Lily McWilliams (senior, nutrition and dietetics) recorded 12 kills each in the contest.

“Lily did an amazing job of playing at a very high level against some very good outside hitters and a very stingy defensive team in Clarion,” Pennewill said. “She then matched her offensive output with some solid net play on the defensive side of the ball.

“Her serving game was extremely tough as well giving us an

We followed our game plan and executed it with passion and pride.

-Lindsay Moeller (senior, early childhood and special ed) advantage, keeping Clarion out of system.

Elora Pittman (sophomore, psychology) led the Crimson Hawks with seven block assists and a solo block.

Lindsay Moeller (senior, early childhood and special education) led the team with a single game season-high six service aces.

“Lindsay has been playing with a very acute focus the last couple of weeks,” Pennewill said. “Her serving game last night was very accurate and caused a lot of disruption in the Clarion offense. Her focus on the line is the reason she had so much success.”

Moeller believes that the team played well as a whole.

“We were all excelling at playing our positions, supporting each other and working towards a common goal,” Moeller said. “We followed our game plan and executed it with passion and pride.”

IUP outhit Clarion, .159 to .089.

McWilliams believes that the team performed well as a whole against Clarion.

“We really came together last night,” McWilliams said. “Everyone shared a confidence and excitement that made us play at a high and consistent level right from

the start. A lot of times we end up depending on a few people that are playing well, but last night we all played well collectively, making the win a real team effort.”

However, there are some aspects of the game she believes need to continue to be improved upon.

“We spread out our offense, which really helped us last night, and I think we will continue to work on having a consistent serve servereceive game as well as having all hitters be available as much as possible,” McWilliams said.

The Crimson Hawks will play their final two contests of the season at California University of Pennsylvania Friday evening and at Seton Hill University Saturday evening, with a playoff berth riding on their performance in those two matches. Pennewill said that the team needs to contain outside hitter Danielle Hayes and middle hitter Sierra Barrett for California (Pa.). For Seton Hill, Pennewill said that outside hitter Cassie Hausfeld and setter Maggie Murray are priorities. “[Murray] is always an offensive threat since she is 6-foot and left -handed and likes to score,” Pennewill said.

Moeller said that it is key to focus on the process.“It can be easy to get caught up in the W's and L's of a season, but with misguided focus, we won't get the outcomes we want,” Moeller said. “We are going to work hard this week to prepare physically and mentally for the weekend. It will be important for us to do our jobs, play as a team and keep a consistent positive energy from the first point to the last.”

Men’s basketball coach Joe Lombardi preparing for another successful season Coach Joe Lombardi is entering his 10th season at the helm of the Crimson Hawks. His teams have made the NCAA tournament seven times in his nine seasons on the bench.

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

(IUP Athletics)

Coach Lombardi and the team celebrated after a big win in the NCAA tournament last season.

Lombardi and this year’s team hope to celebrate again with another postseason berth.

(IUP Athletics)

As the 2016-17 college basketball season is upon us, the IUP men hold only two seniors on their roster.

Despite a relatively young roster, the Crimson Hawks will make up for their youth with a wealth of experience from the coaching staff.

Head coach Joe Lombardi is entering his 10th season with IUP after leaving the University of Pittsburgh, where Lombardi spent three years as an assistant coach under former Pitt coach Jamie Dixon.

Entering the season, Lombardi hopes to lead IUP to his eighth NCAA tournament appearance as the IUP men’s coach.

Not only is Lombardi’s success recognized in the record books, but he also receives high praise from his peers and competitors.

“Coach Lombardi is a phenomenal coach and leader,” assistant coach Chuck Harris said in an August 2015 article in The Indiana Gazette.

Lombardi has even managed to raise the eyebrows of prestigious coaches at the Division I level.

“I think Indiana is a really good team,” said legendary Syracuse University coach Jim Boeheim in a news conference following IUP’s 83-65 loss to the Orange Nov. 1.

“They won their league last year. I think they are really well-coached.”

Lombardi’s has been praised for his postseason performances after leading IUP to Division II men’s basketball championship game

appearances in 2010 and 2015 while at the same time placing himself in the school record books.

Lombardi broke the school record for career wins following a 7264 victory Nov. 27, 2015, over the University of the Sciences.

This victory gave Lombardi his 207th win, allowing him to pass Gary Edwards as the winningest basketball coach in IUP history.

Lombardi currently stands at a 225-85, a .726 winning percentage.

Entering the season, the Crimson Hawks are ranked No. 24 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC), with conference foe Kutztown University in at No. 14. Lombardi plans to prove those rankings wrong and win his fourth PSAC championship, with the previous ones coming in 2010, 2011 and 2013. Although Lombardi has experienced a wealth of success in his time at IUP, he tends to keep the credit away from himself.

“I’m really grateful for the opportunity I’ve had in the last 10 years, the opportunity to be at a good institution with a good athletic department and a great basketball tradition,” Lombardi said in a Gazette article Thursday.

“This program gives whoever is coaching it a lot of help to be successful, and you put that with a lot of good fortune we’ve gotten along the way, whether that was in recruiting or player development, and it’s made for a great run over the last 10 years.

“I’ve also been blessed to have a lot of great assistants to take on a lot of the workload, and they certainly poured themselves into the program to help get it to the level of expectation every year. I hope the next 10 are as good as the last 10.”

Lombardi and the Crimson Hawks will open up the season at 7:30 p.m. Friday here in Indiana against Lincoln University in the S&T Bank Atlantic Region Challenge.

Men’s and women’s teams faced tough tests in preseason

By AMBER BAILEY Staff Writer

A.L.Bailey2@iup.edu

The IUP men’s and women’s basketball teams have been working hard for the last couple of weeks, as each team played two exhibition games.

Coming off of a 21-8 season for the men and 21-9 for the women, both teams are hopeful for another successful season.

The men opened up their 201617 exhibition season on the road at Division I Syracuse University, which is ranked No. 19. The Crimson Hawks fell, 83-65, to Syracuse in their first match despite taking an early lead. Anthony Glover (junior, marketing) contributed two assists and two steals out of the gate to push IUP past Syracuse, 2210, fewer than 10 minutes into the game. Glover later hit two 3-point shots, adding four steals to keep IUP ahead on the scoreboard.

IUP led by 11 points until Syracuse managed to score 14 to take the lead into the second half.

Early in the second half, Syracuse proved it was still in control when it added another 5 points to keep a 10-point gap between them. Not backing down, Dante Lombardi (sophomore, business) was able to add 4 points to IUP’s score.

Lombardi also contributed three 3-pointers, four rebounds and three assists.

After Tuesday’s loss, IUP headed to Philadelphia to take on the defending NCAA Division I champions, Villanova University.

Villanova secured a 94-49 win over the Crimson Hawks after a hard-fought first half. Villanova started the game on top with an 8-2 run, but IUP pushed back with a 5-2 run. A 3-point shot from Ayron Hutton (junior, communications media) and Jacobo Diaz’s (sopho-

more, economics) tip-in further reduced the gap on the scoreboard.

Midway through the half, Brandon Spain (senior, communications media) grabbed a fast-break layup pulling IUP within 2 points of Villanova.The Wildcats broke away with a 14-point lead with fewer than eight minutes left in the half, extending their lead to 51-23.

Villanova led the game shooting 58.6 percent from the field, including a 54.8 percent from beyond the arc. The IUP women’s team was also on the road for its exhibition games, traveling to the University of Connecticut to play the defending NCAA Division I champions, UConn.

IUP trailed UConn early with 132. Megan Smith (junior, human resources) managed to cut the lead 41-21, and Carolyn Appleby (sophomore, safety sciences) clinched a 3-pointer. UConn countered back with a 21-0 run to take a big lead, 68-24, at halftime.

Going into the second half strong, UConn went on a 14-0 run.

The Crimson Hawks grabbed a few 3-pointers, but it was nowhere near what they needed to get back into the game.

UConn went on to outscore IUP, 19-6, in the final quarter, securing the win, 111-39.

Later in the week, the women’s team went on to travel to the University of Pittsburgh to take on Pitt.

Two-and-a-half minutes into the game, IUP trailed Pitt by one point with the help of a layup from Maura D’Anna (junior, nutrition). Not long after, Pitt created a 22-10 lead.

Brittany Robinson (sophomore, early education) and Halle Denman (junior, nutrition) helped to minimize Pitt’s lead to an 8-point gap, 26-16.

Appleby also managed a 3-pointer to bring IUP closer to Pitt, but ultimately Pitt defeated the Crimson Hawks by a final of 72-40.

Matt Murray returns for Pittsburgh, McDavid outshines Crosby in head-to-head matchup

By DENNIS CANIZ Staff Writer

D.M.Caniz@iup.edu

The Montreal Canadiens are off to one of the best starts in the National Hockey Leaague this season with an 11-1-1 record.

(TNS)

The Pittsburgh Penguins have had an eventful week. It started Nov. 2, when they scratched goaltender Matt Murray’s name off the disabled list and put him on the starter’s card, making it his season debut.

In Murray’s return from a broken hand, he saved 32 out of 33 shots as the Penguins earned a 5-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks.

More than a week later, Murray is 3-0 in his first three starts, with a goals-against average (GAA) of 1.87 and save percentage of .957.

Another big story coming out of Pittsburgh this week involved the first meeting between Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and the young Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, both of whom were former No. 1 overall draft picks.

The two faced off Tuesday at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh.

McDavid, the 19-year-old Canada native, looked up to Crosby as a role model when he was younger.

In the first meeting between the two, McDavid put up assists on all three Oilers goals, and Crosby was nowhere to be found.

The Penguins walked away with the victory, however, with a 4-3 final. The Penguins’ next game is Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

With the Leafs coming to town, Pittsburgh fans will get a first glance at the Maple Leafs’ rookie sensation, Auston Matthews. Matthews has six goals and five assists in 13 games played so far this year.

However, Matthews isn’t the only rookie on the team that is starting to become a name to watch.

Leafs rookies Mitch Marner and William Nylander are making their own stamps on this team. Nylander, 20, has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) and Marner has four goals and six assists.

(TNS) Matt Murray made his season debut against the Anaheim Ducks after being sidelined with a broken hand.

Toronto is starting look like a three-headed offensive monster, and is resembling the 1980-81 Edmonton Oilers with Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri and Mark Messier.

The Maple Leafs are currently sitting last in the Atlantic Division at 5-5-3 and 13 points.

They take on another rookiefilled team, the Philadelphia Flyers, Friday in Toronto.

The Montreal Canadiens are taking names with every win they get. With only 13 games played, they are off to a hot start, with an 11-1-1 record and 23 points, which places them first in the NHL. Even with a 10-0 loss to Columbus, and Carey Price out three games with the flu, the team still manages to find wins.

Montreal fans still have the collapse of last season in the back of their brain. They started off hot and were 19-4-3 on Dec. 1 of last season. But, when Price went down with a blown knee, they went 1-100 in their next 11 games and ended up missing the playoffs.

The team has been showing some scary signs, however.

They are committing turnovers by losing puck battles and are struggling on penalty kills.

If these problems get situated, and Price can stay healthy, this team should have no problem making the playoffs this year.

Blackhawks Kane and Toews rekindle their chemistry

The Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane scored a goal on the backhand past Stars’ goalie Kari Lehtonen.

By CHRIS HINE Chicago Tribune TNS

For the last seven games, center Jonathan Toews and winger Patrick Kane have started on the same line.

The Blackhawks have also won their last seven games.

Correlation doesn't always equal causation, but Kane and Toews' union has certainly been a factor in the streak, which has made the Hawks the top team in the Western Conference entering Thursday.

"The last couple games we're getting there, and we're starting to realize whether it's areas to go to or how we want to play coming out of our end different things like that where it takes a little bit of time to get chemistry with someone," Kane said this week. "The last couple games, it has been pretty good."

The line was quiet in the Hawks' 2-1 victory over the Blues, but that was the exception.

Coach Joel Quenneville is hesitant to put them together to keep his lines balanced.

But Quenneville hasn't had to worry about balance with the new second line of Artemi Panarin, Artem Anisimov and Marian Hossa playing so well.

(Anisimov is questionable for Friday's game against the Capitals

(TNS)

because of an upper-body injury he suffered Wednesday.)

"We both understand it's good for our team to have the two of us making lines better, at least being separate it gives our lineup a little more depth," Toews said. "I think it's worked out really well the last couple of years."

The move came while Toews was having trouble finding the back of the net he scored no goals through his first eight games. "I think we know what we expect out of each other," Toews said.

"Sometimes it's just getting the timing down. I think that's there. I think when a couple pucks go in, especially from myself, you start to loosen up and you start to see the ice a little bit better and you realize you have a little more time and start to play more creatively and patiently."

Kane, meanwhile, has three goals and six assists in his last seven games, though one goal and two assists came on the power play when he and Toews only occasionally play together.

For most of these last seven games, Richard Panik was playing the left wing with them.

To start last game, rookie Nick Schmaltz was on that line before Quenneville inserted Panik again.

But it doesn't much matter who Toews and Kane are playing if both are at the top of their powers.

"I think we're going to get better and better," Toews said.

Villanova looks to repeat as season tips off

By SHANNON RYAN

Chicago Tribune TNS

The last time we saw two college basketball teams compete, it was one of the most epic championship games ever played.

The last time a player took a shot that counted, it was the ball slipping off Kris Jenkins' fingertips in Houston to deliver a 3-pointer that beat the buzzer and North Carolina and brought Villanova its first NCAA title since 1985.

It will be hard to follow up on that send-off to the 2015-16 season, but 2016-17 has some intrigue. From Villanova's quest to repeat to Duke's expectations to another strong young class at Kentucky, drama should be plentiful. Here are some storylines to follow as the season tips off Friday.

Youth movement: Last season was the time to appreciate the elder statesmen of college basketball. It's almost a rarity now, but seniors ruled most arenas.

It's back to the new norm.

Freshmen are the kings of the court again. Several of the teams projected to contend for the NCAA championship feature freshmen who probably won't be around for more than one season.

The player drawing the most early NBA draft buzz for next season is on a team that might not even make the NCAA tournament. Washington's Markelle Fultz, a 6-foot-4 guard, is expected to sizzle even if the Huskies might not.

He's not alone as a freshman standout. Duke forwards Harry Giles (knee surgery) and Jayson Tatum (foot) are coming off injuries but expected to make an impact, along with point guard Frank Jackson, for the top-ranked Blue Devils.

No. 2 Kentucky, as usual, has reloaded with four top-15 recruits in point guard De'Aaron Fox, big men Bam Adebayo and Wenyen Gabriel and shooting guard Malik

Monk. Kansas forward Josh Jackson and Michigan State forward Miles Bridges also should be immediate difference makers.

Repeat performance? Villanova isn't a college basketball blue blood, but the Wildcats have the ingredients to become a rare back-to-back champion.

Three starters return from the title team as well as three key reserves.

Sophomore point guard Jalen Brunson of Stevenson needs to continue to progress rapidly now that he must replace veteran leader Ryan Arcidiacano full time.

On paper, there are better teams than Villanova. But we said that for much of last season, too, before realizing the Wildcats' potential.

Valparaiso's Alec Peters, a 6-9 forward, was tempted by the NBA draft but decided to return for a final season under new coach Matt Lottich.

He averaged 18.4 points and 8.5 rebounds last season, and his presence as one of the nation's best big men makes the Crusaders a favorite to win the Horizon League.

At Wichita State, Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet are gone. Next man up? Meet Markis McDuffie.

The 6-8 sophomore forward averaged 7.4 points and 3.3 rebounds in 18.5 minutes per game as a freshman. He'll be asked to do much more.

Delivery date? Kentucky is everpresent in the national title hunt, reaching the Final Four in four of the last six seasons, but the Wildcats won it all only in 2012 during that span.

They will go back to their old formula of freshman phenoms after having some relative experience last season, when Indiana toppled them in the second round. With so much talent the incoming recruiting class was ranked No. 1 nationally with five of six in ESPN's top 100 it's championship or bust, as always, for John Calipari's team.

FIU’s Smith out for season after girlfriend poured boiling water on him

By DAVID J. NEAL Miami Herald TNS

The college career of FIU senior tight end Jonnu Smith, the team's premier offensive player over his four seasons and easily the Panthers' best 2017 NFL draft prospect, ended on Halloween when his girlfriend doused him with boiling water. According to the arrest affidavit, Smith suffered severe burns on his head, neck, back, a shoulder and an arm.

Miami Gardens resident Mary Gaspar, five months pregnant with Smith's child, was charged with aggravated battery. Gaspar has been released on a pre-trial release order.

The early 2017 NFL draft projections have Smith as either a late round pick or undrafted free agent. He made the midseason John Mackey Award (Best College Tight End) watch list in 2014 and 2015 and the preseason Mackey Award watch list in 2015 and 2016.

The arrest affidavit said Gaspar gave this account at Florida International University police headquarters: The two argued through the day over the attention Smith was paying her and their relationship. While in Smith's dorm room and "feeling extremely emotional and stressed," she told police, she boiled a pot of water. Then, she walked over to Smith and poured it on him.

When Smith didn't react strongly enough for her, she started hitting him with her open hands, she told police. The extent of the burns aren't known, but Smith has been seen back on campus even though he's not fit for the football field.

The 6-foot-3, 232-pound Smith finishes his FIU career fifth in career receptions (175), career receiving yards (1,936) and third in touchdown catches (17). He holds the FIU records for touchdown catches in a game (three) and a

season (eight), sharing the latter with wide receiver Thomas Owens.

Smith quickly shined as a freshman amid FIU's dismal, abysmal 2013 offense. While FIU went 1-11 in its first Conference USA season and first under head coach Ron Turner, Smith led the team with 39 receptions for 388 yards. Turner doubly embraced Smith – the offense features the tight end prominently and the coach figured he didn't have to worry about trouble from the low-key, religious Smith.

No tight end in the country owned better numbers in 2014 than Smith, the national leader among tight ends in receptions (61), receiving yards (710) and touchdowns (eight). He had no Conference USA peer for First Team All-Conference honors.

SI.com named him an Honorable Mention All-America. Other national websites lauded Smith's production despite playing with a freshman quarterback and without consistent threats at wide receiver.

In a wild 38-28 win against Middle Tennessee State, Smith scored three touchdowns as FIU came from 21-3 down. Smith barged through two would-be tacklers on a 10-yard touchdown catch; caught a 40-yard "Hail Mary" heave for a touchdown to end the first half; and picked up a teammate's fumbled reception and ran it the rest of the way for another touchdown.

Smith's numbers dropped early in his junior season as opposing defenses made stopping him a priority. That allowed for the emergence of other receiving threats, such as Owens. But Owens’ rise drew defensive attention, thus opening the field for Smith later in the season. He rolled up a career high 10 catches for 183 yards and two touchdowns against Old Dominion and did so partially while playing on a sprained left knee.

FIU lost to Western Kentucky last Saturday 49-21. The loss ended the 3-7 Panthers chances of reaching six wins and bowl eligibility.
