Stollings Introduced as Lady Raider head coach

STEPHEN SINGLETON/The Daily Toreador

Marlene Stollings speaks to the crowd during the news conference introducing her as the Texas Tech women’s basketball coach on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, in the City Bank Room of the United Supermarkets Arena.

Stollings previously coached at the University of Minnesota where she led her team to a 24-9 record.

was an important part during her involvement with PFLAG. Rogers and her husband got involved with PFLAG in the early 2000s because two of their four children identify as gay. Rogers, and the other members of the Lubbock chapter, celebrated more and more states legalizing same-sex marriage, but it significantly impacted Rogers when it came down from the Supreme Court.

In a news conference on Wednesday, April 11, Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec and Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt announced Marlene Stollings as the seventh head coach of Tech’s women’s basketball team.

“I have to say, I am so honored and incredibly humbled to be the Lady Raider basketball coach, truly, truly am,” Stollings said. “I want to thank President Schovanec and Kirby Hocutt for their commitment to the women’s basketball program, specifically, and the university.”

Stollings was most recently the head coach for women’s basketball at Minnesota. While she was the head coach at Minnesota, the team posted a 64-47 record overall, with three 20+ win seasons in her four-year tenure, according to Tech Athletics.

Prior to coaching at Minnesota, Stollings was the head coach at VCU and Winthrop before that.

Stollings was an assistant coach at schools such as Ole Miss, Saint Louis, Wright State, New Mexico State and Jacksonville before becoming the head coach at Winthrop, according to Tech Athletics.

Stollings replaces interim head coach Shimmy Gray-Miller, who took over for former head coach Candi Whitaker after her firing. During Whitaker and Gray-Miller’s tenures as head coach, the Lady Raiders posted a 56-98 record since 2013.

The hiring of Stollings is a step in the right direction for bringing the program back to the heights it enjoyed during the 90s, which was a theme during the news conference. Words were not minced on the recent failures of the women’s basketball team, with the aim on bringing the program back to its former glory.

Lubbock, surrounding areas threatened by fire weather

H

igh winds, low humidity and an increase in temperature has created hazardous conditions in Lubbock and the surrounding areas that may lead to fire that can spread easily.

As of early April, Lubbock was categorized to be in a moderate drought and still borderlines extreme drought conditions, according to the National Drought Mitigation Center. This lack of rain along with an increase in dead or dry vegetation means fire hazards are either imminent or already occurring.

The Lubbock County Emergency Management Center has announced a Red Flag Warning to be in place for

Wednesday, April 11, according to a news release. LCEMC has issued this warning for 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. and along with the Red Flag Warning also has Thursday and Friday as a No Burn Day. Weather outlets have also predicted high winds for the remainder of the week, therefore the Lubbock Fire Department has released a warning to Lubbock residents to refrain from any outside burning or not properly releasing smoking material.

LFD has released this warning from Wednesday, as well, but extends the fire hazard period to Friday, April 13, according to its news release.

The National Weather service is predicting winds speeds on Wednesday could reach up to 35 mph, according to its website. Thursday and Friday have the potential to reach gusts of 45 mph, which means a fire can increase in size and spread rapidly.

Static electricity from the winds, burning material or discarded cigarettes could easily turn into a spreadable fire within the coming days, according to LCEMC. KFDA-TV in Amarillo has already reported various fires in the panhandle area of Texas, which is in near the same drought category as the South Plains. @MichaelCantuDT

PFLAG Lubbock chapter celebrates 25th anniversary

By MARY BETH HOLM Staff Writer

In 1971, two young adults came to Reverend Ted Dotts and his wife, Betty, distraught at the thought of being gay.

After visiting with the two young adults, Reverend Dotts told Betty he knew what they had to do for the people of West Texas. They had to study what it meant to be LGBT and listen to more stories from their peers.

Then, in January 1993, Reverend

Dotts and his wife received a call from what was then known as Parents for Lesbians and Gays, asking them to start a chapter in Lubbock.

Tony R. Thornton is the president of the Lubbock chapter of PFLAG and has been a resident of Lubbock his entire life. Thornton said one of the visible effects of PFLAG is the accessibility of different media platforms to help members of the Lubbock and LGBT community.

“I think we’ve helped people in a variety of ways to discover re-

sources,” Thornton said. “Like medical, psychological and community resources that were here, but maybe people didn’t know how to find them.

We’ve been very instrumental at making (resources) accessible to people as a part of our mission.”

One of the biggest successes, Thornton said, was when the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in 2015.

Grace Rogers, the program co-chair for PLFAG, also said the legalization of same-sex marriage

Sessions takes fight on border enforcement to NM LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — As thousands of National Guard troops deploy to the Mexico border, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions brought his tough stance on immigration enforcement to New Mexico on Wednesday, telling border sheriffs that cracking down on illegal crossings and drug smuggling is necessary to build a lawful immigration system.

Sessions ticked off stories about smugglers being caught with opioids and cocaine at the U.S.-Mexico border and legal loopholes that have encouraged more immigrants to make the journey.

"This is not acceptable.

It cannot continue," he said.

"No one can defend the way the system is working today."

Outside the meeting, dozens of immigrant rights activists protested, once again rejecting Sessions' previous characterization of the border region as "ground zero" in the Trump administration's fight against cartels and human traffickers.

They chanted in Spanish, saying the region is not a "war zone," and hoisted signs that protested the proposed border wall and the deployment of National Guard troops to the region.

Sessions was speaking

in Las Cruces at the Texas Border Sheriff's Coalition annual spring meeting with the Southwestern Border Sheriff's Coalition, which includes 31 sheriff's departments from Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

The departments patrol areas located within 25 miles (40 kilometers) of the border.

Sessions' trip to Las Cruces, a small city about an hour north of the border, comes as construction begins nearby on 20 miles (32 kilometers) of steel fencing that officials say is part of Trump's promised wall.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the heightened barrier will be harder to get over, under and through than the old post and rail barriers that line the stretch of sprawling desert west of the Santa Teresa border crossing.

"The lack of a wall on the southern border is an open invitation to illegal crossings," Sessions said.

Dona Ana County Sheriff Enrique "Kiki" Vigil, whose jurisdiction includes Las Cruces and Santa Teresa, doubted that a wall is an appropriate use of resources to combat the flow of drugs in the area — one of the busiest sectors of the U.S.-Mexico border.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I think that was a turning point in the movement,” Rogers said. “And as a result, it impacted me.”

The Lubbock PFLAG offers different educational and support groups, Thornton said. Since his inauguration in 2014, the chapter now offers a Gender Spectrum Support Group. The support group was initially a group for transgender individuals, but Thornton changed the name to accommodate all members on the gender spectrum.

Thornton said he feels he is making a big impact on the

Lubbock community.

“That touches my heart,” Thornton said. “The questions people ask, the really young people who come and ask me questions and thank me, even though they don’t even know me. They just come thank me for the work that I’m doing, which really touches my heart.”

Betty Dotts, who is still acts as the program co-chair for PFLAG in Lubbock said the Lubbock chapter has gotten stronger in the last 25 years through influence and acceptance. Local businesses, for example, welcome and employ members of the LGBT community.

Despite the backlash

Dotts and Betty received from members of the Lubbock community, Betty said it has been a joy and an honor to be a part of PFLAG through the years. Being involved with PFLAG has positively affected her life. Growing up in West Texas, Betty did not know anything about the LGBT community.

“Now, I’ve developed more understanding, a lot of understanding, and compassion for what they have to endure,” Betty said. “The problems that they have. And now, it’s widened my friendship circles. I have gay, lesbian and transgender friends.

And they’re wonderful.” @MaryBethHolmDT

TV host resigns after threatening shooting survivor ST. LOUIS (AP) — A conservative commentator who sent a tweet saying he would use “a hot poker” to sexually assault an outspoken 17-yearold survivor of the Florida high school shooting has resigned from a St. Louis TV station and been taken off the radio after several advertisers withdrew from his shows.

KDNL-TV accepted Jamie Allman’s resignation and canceled “The Allman Report,” according to a brief statement from Ronn Torossian,

a spokesman for the Sinclair Broadcast Group, which operates the TV station. Before the show’s launch in January 2015, KDNL-TV touted it as a nontraditional newscast with a conservative spin.

Allman’s radio show on KFTK-FM has been taken off the air while the company “looks into the matter,” said EstherMireya Tejeda, a spokeswoman for Entercom, which began operating the station last month.

Allman hasn’t responded to messages from the Associ-

ated Press seeking comment.

Several businesses pulled advertising from Allman’s shows after he sent the March 26 tweet targeting David Hogg, who has strongly advocated for stricter gun control since 17 people were killed in the Feb. 14 mass shooting at his school in Parkland, Florida.

Allman’s Twitter account was “locked” shortly after he sent the tweet, restricting access to his account, but a screenshot of it has been widely circulated on social media.

experience as a student. He and I have both been communications students for a while now, and somehow we wandered into a conversation about the alarmingly significant ways the very theories we study apply to our world.

However, we weren’t talking about how these theories help us understand interpersonal interactions or the ways what we learn might help us better convey a message. Instead, we were talking about how communication research exposes the extent to which our view of the world can be intentionally manipulated.

Whether it be by news media, politicians, television, businessmen, movies, or educators — there is no difference. We are subject to the messages of those around us and, at all times, we are at risk of absorbing the ideological projections of those around us. So, what happens when a select group of newscasters, politicians, directors and professors conspire to present an alternate reality which lends itself to a narrative which might be more in line with their own agendas?

In order to control the way Americans operate, we are being presented with intentionally manipulated narratives by those who produce and deliver media and information.

In many ways, we are living in a highly propagandized society. We tend to think of

Avery Aiken is a senior communication studies major from The Woodlands.

propaganda as an explicitly pro-government form of intellectual force-feeding. However, Oxford Dictionaries define it as “information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view.” Simply put, it is the controlled presentation of ideas in order to produce a specific result.

With that said, there are two different communication theories which have helped me reach the conclusion I present you with now.

The first is Richard Petty and John Cacioppo’s Elaboration Likelihood Model. This theory explains the way we process a message, argument or even just new information.

It suggests that people are either motivated to intentionally process something or we simply allow our instinct to sort it out for us. Accordingly, there are two routes through which we might process information: the central route and the peripheral route.

The central route tends to be the more convicting and judicious way to process information of greater sensitivity and/or importance. Things like what to buy, where to vacation or

cal gatherings.

For example, who cares if Hillary Clinton is endorsed by half of Congress? Not too many of us. If she’s endorsed

by Katy Perry, however, that’s a whole different story.

We are more likely to receive and trust Katy Perry’s political message — even though she hasn’t explicitly served the U.S. government a day in her life — than we are a trained politician because we are endeared towards Perry. We trust her. And so we trust what she says.

Let me move on to the other theory I promised to talk about, though. The Cognitive Dissonance Theory provides another interesting piece of insight into how we are being quietly controlled by the media we consume.

Created by Leon Festinger, this theory explains the way we alter our behavior or ideas to decrease the feeling of dissonance, or discomfort produced by contradiction.

This means that we tend to seek out information or ideas which directly compliment the ones we already possess so that we do not have to sort out the uneasy feeling which could be produced otherwise.

Playing into this theory is the Selective Exposure Hypothesis. This hypothesis explains why your grandmother might only watch Fox News. At 80 years old, the last thing she wants to do is have to reconcile the fact that there might be some validity

in what MSNBC is arguing.

News stations, TV shows, politicians and so on know that we like to hear what we already like. We want someone to carefully and quietly help us reach a conclusion and then we want them to confirm our unfailing wisdom in deciding what we’ve decided.

Even more, we do not want to consume media that differs from our believes.

And so we don’t.

Therefore, Congress is able to beat the “Russia is evil” horse long past its expiration date, because it’s a narrative we bought into and one we want confirmed.

They know we won’t notice because we’re too busy drinking their perfectly positioned Kool-Aid. I think we are being far too cavalier about our consumption of media. We are letting everyone else think for us and by the time we figure out all the ways we are being mentally taken advantage of, the damage is already done.

So, I encourage anyone and everyone to take a moment to disconnect from the buckets of strategically developed and delivered information around them and evaluate their own beliefs, values, interests and questions. Take some time to dust off that trust central processing route and allow yourself the freedom to think freely. @AveryAikenDT

Speaker Ryan to retire, leaving big election-year GOP vacuum WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Paul Ryan abruptly announced Wednesday he will retire rather than seek another term in Congress as the steady if reluctant wingman for President Donald Trump, sending new ripples of uncertainty through a Washington already on edge and a Republican Party bracing for a rough election year.

The Wisconsin Republican cast the decision to

end his 20-year career as a personal one — he doesn’t want his children growing up with a “weekend dad” — but it will create a vacuum at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. It will leave congressional Republicans without a measured voice to talk Trump away from what some see as damaging impulses, and it will rob Trump of an influential steward to shepherd his more ambitious ideas into legislation.

PUBLISHING INFORMATION

when to propose are almost always processed through the central route. This route requires high levels of motivation to process and time to focus on that effort of processing. It also tends to be safer from external manipulation.

The peripheral route, on the other hand, handles the role of processing in a much more automatic way. Because we cannot process every decision or piece of data thoroughly without going completely mad, the peripheral route helps us quickly make simpler decisions. For example, it might help us decide how many napkins to get out of the napkin dispenser, whether or not to change the TV channel or if we want to read that new book.

But here’s the thing about the peripheral route that makes it easy to weaponize: the seemingly instinctual decisions characteristic of this route are influenced by trivial things like how credible we believe the deliverer of the information to be and how we feel when presented with that information.

Now, this plays into my aforementioned argument by outlining the way that our minds can be manipulated by those who are seeking to advance a particular agenda or to produce a specific result.

Sophomore earns Goldwater Scholarship

By EMILIEE ENCIZO Staff Writer

Madeline Lockhart, a sophomore math and physics major, has been awarded the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship.

This scholarship is open to sophomore and junior STEM majors who are looking to devote themselves to research in the future. It is also extremely selective; to be considered, someone from the institution you are attending must nominate you.

With the assistance of the Honors College and her instructors, Lockhart became a recipient of the scholarship.

Lockhart is now the third Goldwater scholar from Texas Tech in three years, and the 36th recipient over all.

“It is very competitive, I believe they have over 1,200 applicants nationwide,” Wendoli Flores, the director of national and international scholarships and fellowships, said. “Ev-

ery university is limited to four submissions, so that does give more of a level playing field because you have to limit the number of students that any school can submit. So, for us to gain one of those awards is a huge accomplishment.”

Lockhart grew up with both her parents, her two younger sisters and her family dog in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Los Alamos is a scientific community and home to the Los Alamos Scientific Labs.

In high school, Lockhart played softball, was a part of Key Club and managed the football team her senior year.

She balanced being a student athlete with her rigorous course load.

With Los Alamos being such a science centered town, the high school Lockhart attended did not even rank students because so many had an above 4.0 GPA. “It’s a very scientific community, it’s one of the high-

Nobel board slams turmoil at Swedish literature prize group STOCKHOLM (AP) — The Nobel Foundation Board has sharply criticized the Swedish Academy, which chooses the Nobel Literature Prize winner each year, saying the group has damaged its own reputation and is threatening to tarnish the reputation of the Nobel Prize itself.

The comments came hours after the Swedish king said the resignation of three members from the Swedish Academy was “deeply unfortunate and risked seriously damaging” the body’s “important activities.”

After a Nobel board meeting Wednesday, the foundation issued a statement noting that “trust in the Swedish Academy has been seriously damaged” and demanding

that the group take specific actions to restore that trust.

The Nobel board said that included making sure the Swedish Academy can carry out the 2018 Nobel selection “in a credible manner,” resolving the group’s conflicts of interest and confidentiality issues according to Nobel regulations and referring any “suspected criminal acts” to law enforcement officials.

The prestigious academy has been in turmoil after the resignations Friday of members Klas Ostergren, Kjell Espmark and Peter Englund, who quit after the secretive 18-member academy voted against removing a female colleague whose husband is embroiled in sexual misconduct allegations.

Academy members are

appointed for life and resignations are extremely rare.

In gender-neutral Sweden, it was also a surprise that three male cultural figures would demand that a woman be ousted from a Nobelawarding committee for her husband’s alleged actions.

The men were calling for the removal of academy member Katarina Frostenson, whose husband, Jean-Claude Arnault, has been accused of sexual misconduct and leaking Nobel winners’ names.

Arnault was banned in December by the Swedish Academy from attending a Nobel banquet after the Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter published allegations from 18 women claiming to have been assaulted or raped by Arnault.

3 accusers confront comedian Bill Cosby in court NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Decades after they say Bill Cosby knocked them out with intoxicants and sexually assaulted them, three of his accusers confronted the 80-year-old comedian in court Wednesday, with one woman pointedly calling him a “serial rapist” and another asking

The women’s charged rhetoric prompted several mistrial requests from Cosby’s lawyers — which were denied — as prosecutors built their case that Cosby was one of Hollywood’s biggest predators long before he

Now well into middle age, the accusers spoke of entering Cosby’s orbit as starstruck young women seeking career help or, in the case of a casino bartender from Reno, Nevada, simply looking for a fun time.

Arnault, the head of a Stockholm culture center, denies the alleged assaults, which reportedly occurred between 1996 and 2017.

In March, Swedish prosecutors said an investigation into reported rape and sexual abuse by Arnault during 2013 to 2015 had been dropped, but a probe into other criminal acts would continue. It did not elaborate.

Separately on Tuesday, one of Sweden’s biggest dailies, Dagens Nyheter, cited an internal Academy probe alleging that Arnault leaked the names of winners the Nobel Literature Prize seven times, starting in 1996. The Dagens Nyheter said the names include U.S. singer-songwriter Bob Dylan and Belarus journalist Svetlana Alexievich.

Dark web more dangerous, more accessible than realized

By EMILIEE ENCIZO Staff Writer

Almost everyone uses the internet at least once a day. People get on social media, send emails and search things on the everyday search engines. However, there is more to the internet than the search engines people use daily. The internet is split into three parts that can be described as surface web, deep web and dark web.

The surface web is where people can access common search engines, the deep web applies to websites that cannot be accessed through a typical search engine and the dark web is where things of a more nefarious nature can be found.

“Think of it like how when we go to websites like ‘ttu. edu’, that’s called surface web,” Jeff Barrington, assistant vice president for Information Technology and the information security officer at Texas Tech, said. “Then you go deeper. As you go into things that you have to login to, and down below that, is where the Dark Web is. It is where you can buy and sell

just about anything you can think of anonymously.”

There is no exact time frame for how long the dark web has been around, but a theory is it has been around for as long as the internet has existed. Another theory is while it has been around for some time now, it was not until 2001 that it became popularized and the name became known.

Most people that you see on there are people who have been victims of kidnapping or sex trafficking. Its for the sadistic part of the internet.

JOSHUA KODOSH SOPHOMORE The dark web is different from the internet we use daily.

To even enter the dark web, one first needs a special software. This area of the internet runs on a software called the Torr Browser and uses the domain name “.onion”.

This browser sets up various VPN configurations which makes it difficult for anyone using the dark web to be triangulated. Therefore, high security precautions must be taken if one even considers entering the dark web.

“You can do a lot more criminal stuff with the internet,” Joshua Kadosh, a sophomore biology major from Austin, said. “You can totally avoid having to go buy drugs on the street because essentially, all of that is just online. It’s the same markets and much harder to trace anyone who is doing it.”

Another thing that makes the dark web different is everything is anonymous. There is a login that must be entered to use Torr. When one logs out of the browser, everything is refreshed and all history of an identity even being logged in is erased.

The anonymity that is offered with the dark web is one of the many reasons people use it. That is why many people use it for illegal activities.

The dark web is also the place for hackers. High Tech hacking software can be purchased on the dark web, along with professional hackers. There is even a software that allows people

to watch a person through their computers web camera without them knowing and gives hackers the ability to take over their screen.

“The dark web is just the evil side,” Kadosh said. “There are things where you can pay to watch people get tortured, you can pay for them to do something specific to them.

Most people that you see on there are people who have been victims of kidnapping or sex trafficking. Its for the sadistic part of the internet.”

While the dark web may not have been designed with the intention of evading the law, the access to limitless activities while shrouded in complete anonymity has turned it into a hub of illegal opportunity.

People can buy pure drugs from all over the world, watch games of Russian Roulette live, enter red rooms to watch people be tortured, order hitmen and even purchase children who have been kidnapped and put up for sale.

“There is a lot of illegal activity that goes on there, but really there’s nothing intrinsically illegal,” Paul Koberlein, a senior electrical engineering major, said. “However, because it is untraceable, if you were under investigation and you have Torr on your computer, then you can

SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — The Menendez brothers, who were convicted of killing their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion nearly three decades ago, have been reunited in a Southern California prison.

Erik Menendez, 47, has moved into the same housing unit as his 50-year-old brother, Lyle Menendez, Corrections department spokeswoman Terry Thornton said Thursday.

The brothers are serving life sentences for fatally shooting their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, in 1989.

Lyle Menendez was moved in February from Mule Creek State Prison in Northern California to San Diego’s R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility, after his security classification was lowered.

But the brothers lived in separate housing units and would not have seen each other, Thornton said. The prison houses nearly 3,900 male inmates.

That changed Wednesday, when Eric moved into the same housing unit as his brother, a unit where inmates agree to participate in educational and other rehabilitation programs without fighting or creating disruptions.

“They can and do inter-

act with each other, all the inmates in that facility,” she said, though she didn’t know how the brothers reacted during their reunion.

The brothers had asked two decades ago, after they were sentenced, to be sent to the same prison.

Prison officials said then that they often balked at putting partners in crime together, and the Beverly Hills detective who investigated the slayings argued that the brothers might conspire to escape if they were together. Leslie Abramson, Erik Menendez’s attorney, at the time called housing the brothers separately “exceedingly cruel and heartless.”

Lyle, who was then 21, and Erik, then 18, admitted they fatally shotgunned their entertainment executive father and their mother, but said they feared their parents were about to kill them to prevent the disclosure of the father’s long-term sexual molestation of Erik.

Prosecutors contended there was no evidence of any molestation. They said the sons were after their parents’ multimillion-dollar estate.

Jurors rejected a death sentence in favor of life without parole.

Barker aims to close out senior year strong

By SAMUEL MEDLIN Staff Writer

Senior Gabby Barker is in the final year of her stint playing golf for Texas Tech and hopes to end her college career strong.

Barker started playing golf very early; she mentioned that at the age of six years old her dad introduced her to the game and it slowly became a family-bonding activity. She didn’t always see herself as a college golfer, though, saying she thought she was going to be a college basketball player before she even thought about playing golf in college.

“I always thought about playing college golf in high school but it never really hit me until I got offers from Texas Tech,” Barker said. “Golf is more of a long-time sport, you can play professionally and take it to the next level.”

Barker has had a quite successful stretch while at

Tech, garnering up three first place finishes in her career, according to Tech Athletics.

She most recently placed top-5, in a tie for fifth at the Dale McNamara Invitational in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She also had a tie for sixth place just a week earlier at the Bruzzy Challenge in Dallas, and hopes to keep the momentum going throughout the rest of the season, according to Tech Athletics.

“Individually, I would say I’m improving,” Barker said. “I’ve definitely put more time in, more practice hours in, to try and get back to where I used to be playing good.”

Barker, along with the rest of her team, has faced adversity so far this season, after losing their assistant coach midway through the year, according to Tech Athletics.

“We’re struggling right now at the moment, we just lost our assistant coach so it’s kind of taken

a toll on us,” Barker said about her team’s season.

“But overall I think we’re handling it pretty well.”

Even with losing their assistant coach prematurely and not competing at the level they would like to, Barker is still confident that the Red Raiders have a chance to finish strong in the Big 12 Championships coming up later this month.

“It’s a huge challenge,” Barker said regarding the strength of the Big 12 conference. “But I feel like at some point we’re going to rise to the occasion and win a tournament and feel good about what we did.”

Looking back over the years, Barker has amassed some impressive stats, even being ranked as the number one women’s golfer in the nation for three weeks during her sophomore year. That year she recorded an average of just 72.6 strokes per round, which tied former Red Raider and current LPGA

player Kim Kaufman’s single-season school record, according to Tech Athletics. She was named the Big 12 Player of the Year after her sophomore season, making it the first time a Lady Raider has ever earned the accolade.

“My sophomore year I was ranked number one in the country and you know, I’m not anywhere near that anymore,” Barker responded when asked about her golf game recently. “Kind of hit a rut but after this last tournament, placing sixth, I feel like I’m getting some momentum and hopefully I can get back into the top 100 at least.”

Barker began her junior season on the ANNIKA Award watch-list, which is an award presented to the nation’s top female collegiate golfer, according to Tech Athletics. She finished her junior year with a 73.9 scoring average, 1.6 strokes higher than her sophomore Big 12 Player

With a top 5 finish under her belt this season, along with her sixth place performance in Dallas, Barker has even more of a chance of reaching her goal of breaking into the top 100 individual rankings like she has in the past.

With her senior season slowly coming to a

close, Barker hopes to prove herself in the Big 12 Championships, occurring from Friday, April 20, to Sunday, April 22, in Dallas, according to Tech Athletics. If Barker plays well enough she will get a bid into the NCAA Championships for the third time in her four-year career. @SamMedlinDT

Tigers’ Zimmermann bruises jaw when hit by Kipnis’ liner

Mets rally to beat Marlins 4-1 for 8th straight win

CLEVELAND (AP) — Detroit Tigers pitcher Jordan Zimmermann bruised the right side of his jaw when hit in the face by a line drive off the bat of Cleveland’s Jason Kipnis on Wednesday night and left after two batters in the Indians’ 5-1 win.

Making his third start of the season, Zimmermann retired Francisco Lindor on a fly ball starting the game. The 31-year-old right-hander had little time to react to Kipnis’ line on a 2-2 pitch. Zimmermann was face down on the pitcher’s mound for several moments after being struck and was attended to by head athletic trainer Doug Teter.

Zimmermann sat up and spoke to Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire, then walked off the field while holding a towel to his face. The Tigers said Zimmermann passed concussion protocol tests and was taken for X-rays.

Carlos Carrasco (3-0) pitched a three-hitter, struck out six and walked one in his first complete game this season. He allowed Leonyis Martin’s home run in the sixth.

Carrasco was hit on the face by a line drive off the bat of Melky Cabrera of the Chicago White Sox at Progressive Field in 2015, Cleveland scored four runs in the fourth off Daniel Norris (0-1), who replaced Zimmermann. Yonder Alonso had a two-run single, and Tyler Naquin and Francisco Lindor had RBI singles.

First baseman Miguel Cabrera fielded the ball after Zimmermann was stuck and stepped on the base for the out. An obviously distraught Kipnis crossed the bag and knelt on the first base line as Zimmermann was examined. Several Tigers’ position players also knelt and the crowd of 10,872 went silent.

Norris blanked the Indians until the fourth. Jose Ramirez and Michael Brantley singled and pulled off a double steal. Alonso’s single to right scored both runners.

Naquin and Lindor also had run-scoring hits.

Brantley added an RBI single in the seventh. Kipnis broke an 0-for-23 slump with a seventh-inning double. The Indians, who entered batting a big league-low .158, had a season-high 10 hits.

MIAMI (AP) — Marlins lefty Jarlin Garcia was pulled after pitching six hitless innings in his first major league start, and the New York Mets took advantage of a strong season debut by Zack Wheeler to beat Miami 4-1

Wednesday night for their eighth straight victory.

Adrian Gonzalez’s pinchhit, two-run single off Chris O’Grady in a four-run eighth inning put the Mets ahead and helped extend the best start in team history to 10-1.

Garcia pitched 68 times

Red Raiders to wrap up spring practices with home scrimmage

By JACK DENSMORE Staff Writer

Texas Tech football’s last spring game will have free admittance as the Red Raiders wrap up the spring with a scrimmage at 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 14, at Jones AT&T Stadium.

The scrimmage will have a scoring system for the offense and defense which is different than the past two scrimmages in Midland and Frisco, according to Tech Athletics.

Over the past two scrimmages, sophomore quarterback Jett Duffey has led the position with 318 passing yards, according to Tech Athletics. Junior quarterback McLane Carter has 249 passing yards and three touchdowns, including a 40-yard touchdown to senior wide receiver De’Quan Bowman in Frisco.

Freshman quarterback Alan Bowman has thrown for

173 yards and one touchdown this spring as the quarterback battle continues, according to Tech Athletics.

“We’ve definitely made progress,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “I can see guys handling more reps. I can see, in the scrimmage, as the longer drives went on we weren’t as tired, offensively, had some penalties that were basically due to being tired towards the end but I thought, for the first half of the scrimmage, we were in much better shape.

We gotta continue to work this week and hopefully have an even better showing on Saturday.”

On the defensive side of the ball, junior defensive back Justus Parker had a pick-six in the Midland game and senior defensive lineman Tony Jones had a fumble recovery. In Frisco, the defense caused more turnovers as junior line-

backer Brayden Stringer forced a fumble and redshirt freshman Adrian Frye recovered it. Frye also had one interception in Frisco, as did sophomore linebacker Riko Jeffers, who got the pick after Stringer deflected a pass.

In the 2017 season, Frye was a scout team member during his redshirt year.

He was recruited out of Eisenhower High School in Houston and was a threestar prospect by Rivals, ESPN and 247Sports, according to Tech Athletics.

Frye was also ranked the No. 44 cornerback in the country and No. 73 in Texas

by Rivals. ESPN had Frye ranked as No. 118 in the cornerback position. Entering the 2018 season, Frye said he’s confident.

“I’ve gotten a lot better in man coverage,” Frye said. “I’ve been able to read routes, everything. When

STOLLINGS

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “I would like to thank Hall of Famer, Coach Sharp, who set the standard for this program, and has been a inspiration throughout my career for many, many years,” Stollings said.

Sharp coached the Lady Raiders from 1982-1986, compiling an impressive 572-189 record over her 24 seasons as head coach.

Sharp won five division titles while Tech was in the Southwest Conference, and another three division titles when Tech joined the Big 12.

“I have to tell you, from the minute I met Kirby (Hocutt) I was sold. And the reason I was sold, because we share the same vision for this program,” Stollings said. “We share a vision of winning, again.

In the 2017 season, Tech finished the year tied for sixth with Utah State and Wisconsin for turnovers gained. The Red Raiders

recovered 15 fumbles and intercepted 14 passes for a total of 29 turnovers gained.

With 10 starters and 10 two-deep players returning to the defense this year, Jones said it helps out a lot.

“It’s a hard transition

getting all the plays and all the calls and the fast tempo,” Jones said. “So, with that year under our belt, it gives us a better position just knowing what to do.”

Championship, again. We all know this program has done it, and I took this job knowing that we could do it, again.”

Tech’s women’s basketball team won its sole NCAA Championship during the 1992-1993 season, with Sharp as head coach. Since then, the Lady Raiders have made 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, with their most recent at the end of the 2012-2013 season.

Stollings, a native of Beaver, Ohio, had just signed to play for Ohio State when Tech defeated the Buckeyes 84-82 in the National Championship that year, an experience Stollings remembers vividly.

“I had just signed to play at Ohio State, and I’m in Columbus, sitting there watching the game with my family, and Sheryl Swoopes goes off for 47 points,” Stollings said. “But it’s kind of come full circle, and it worked out. But I

would say that was just an incredible game, I think it goes down as one of the best NCAA Tournament games in history.”

Stollings emphasized her commitment to offense as the new coach of the Lady Raiders, noting that while the old-school style of play was a commitment to defense, Stollings hopes to bring an up-tempo and electric offense to Tech.

“Now this is gonna sound a little different to some traditionalists, but I’m a firm believer in offense generates defense,” Stollings said. “We want to develop an offensive machine that will be high-powered and hard to guard.”

Last season, the Lady Raiders had the ninth worst scoring offense in the Big 12, along with the worst defense in the conference. The Lady Raiders struggles on both side of the ball will be hard to correct, but Stollings is confident in

the program’s future moving forwards.

Stollings has begun the process of building her staff, with several positions expected to be filled within the next few weeks, with an emphasis on building a staff that will help her succeed in her new job.

“Niki Dawkins will be joining me here, my associate head coach. She did coach here previously, with Coach Sharp, she actually came in for coach Sharp’s last year, before she retired,” Stollings said. “People have been joking that she is going to buy her old house back.

Along with some other staff members, that will be joining me, there are four committed at this moment that will be joining us here, in all positions, support staff included.”

“Lady Raider nation, we are going to win again,” Stollings said.
