MnSCU to raise tuition

Vos to retire as Atwood Director

Andrew DeMars NEWS EDITOR

MnSCU administrators are preparing to propose to The Minnesota House Higher Education Committee to raise tuition costs for students enrolled in MnSCU schools. MnSCU plans to present the proposal to the committee the week of March 11. The budget proposal is focused on maintaining affordability and increasing student success in a number of ways. It will provide funds for internships, giving students hands-on experience that industries and communities want students to have when they graduate. The tuition increase will also allow for purchases of new and improved equipment and state of the art technology for students. The budget proposal calls for shared responsibility, not only calling upon the legislature and the governor to act, but others to contribute to the solution as well. The plan intends to increase tuition $145 a year for full-time college students and $205 a year for full-time university students. MnSCU has 31 institutions, including 24 two-year colleges and seven state universities. MnSCU is the largest single provider of higher education in the state of Minnesota,

Liquor ordinance sets new guidelines Ordinance passes at Council meeting Tiffany Krupke NEWS EDITOR

After weeks of discussion by St. Cloud City Council, stricter rules are now in place for bars that host nights that include underage people. St. Cloud City Council voted to require bars to keep patrons under 21 years old away from liquor sales. The council voted to amend the ordinance that would require a physical barrier between underage patrons and areas where liquor is sold in a 5-1 vote. The ordinance provides an exception for private parties. The change included a sunset clause, which will allow the council to revisit the ordinance in a year. The change is a welcome one for members of Student Government, who took a stance in favor of the ordinance. Days after the ordinance passed, Student Government members Lindsey Gunnerson and Beau Jacobto form an opinion on the

issue. Sen. Jacobson, who served as City Council Representative for SG, attended the council meetings. Jacobson felt that there had been misconceptions about the ordinance. A lot of students felt that the ordinance would prevent people under 21 from being downtown, Jacobson said. “People that are 18-21 have every right to be downtown still,” Jacobson said. “There is no law or rule there.” “It is not punishing anybody at all,” Jacobson added. Jacobson also felt that the ordinance was important for businesses as well, because an infraction can mean closing for a period of time. Both senators were proud SG had taken a stance on the issue. Only two body members voted against the resolution SG passed in support of the ordinance. The resolution stated that, “SG values the safety of all students” and “be-

lieves it is the responsibility of establishments holding liquor licenses and their management to regulate the distribution of alcoholic beverages within the limits of the law,” and was drafted by SG President Hannah Muerhoff. The resolution passed, with many in agreement over the need for stricter rules for bars that host 18+ nights. Gunnerson and Jacobson agreed that the ordinance was important because of one word: safety. current laws were promoting safety for students of all ages,” Gunnerson said. Homecoming was another reason SG pushed for the ordinance to pass. According to Gunnerson, Potter has said that until SCSU has a better 18+ campus, homecoming is not going to come back. They hope it will be a step in the right direction. “I really hope that this will make him a little bit more open in his decision,” Jacobson said.

St. Cloud City Council recently passed an amendment dealing with underage presence in bars downtown. The City Council of St. Cloud convened on Feb. 25 to discuss a proposed amendment to Section 810:30, Subdivision 15 of the 2007 Code of Ordinances, entitled “Underage Presence in Licensed Premises”. The amendment focuses on any social event which may include minors being present in the establishment. After nearly two hours of discussion, hearing both voices of support and those of arguments, the amendment passed with a The amendment will create a legal binding on bars and liquor establishments to enforce a “physical separation” between 18-20 year old patrons and the other 21+ customers.

Other organizations involved with downtown, and with the university, were also in attendance. Hannah Muerhoff, president of SCSU’s Student Government, put forward a resolution passed by the Student Government in support of the proposed amendment. “Essentially, the discussion [by the Student Government] was it’s important to protect people who are wanting to participate in social activities,” Muerhoff said. “And we believe that by enforcing and giving teeth to the laws that are already available, students will be safe.” Nick Barth spoke as a representative of the St.

Cloud Hospitality Association and shared his support of the ordinance. “We aren’t against 1820 year olds being in a bar,” Barth said. “We’re against the illegal activities … and want to create something that works inside the laws.” James Geckstetter, another member of the St. Cloud Hospitality Association, said their support for the ordinance is in no way an attack on bars that do have 18+ events. Personally, Geckstetter believes that not enough thought and decision was put into the passing of the amendment. However, his support was the same. “We are not against

We just want downtown to be safe.” For bars such as RumRunners and Biology 701, the amendment may not be a death sentence for 18+ events. Severson doesn’t feel this amendment is a personal attack on his bar or any other. In fact, Severson has already been contacted by the City Council and one of the downtown organizations in an effort to work with him on making Biology 701 up to code for the amendment.

according to their website. The colleges and universities operate 54 campuses in 47 Minnesota communities and serve about 250,000 students in creditbased courses, according to MnSCU’s website. The system has about 33,500 graduates each year. SCSU cut the aviation department a few years back, along with a few other programs due to budget restraints. New admissions to the programs were no longer accepted after these cuts.

“Closing programs is actions a university can undertake,” President Earl H. Potter III said. The average cost for tuition and fees for a Minnesota resident student to attend a year at SCSU is $7,714 for the academic period of 2013-2014, according to SCSU’s website. The average cost of tuition for non-Minnesota residents is $15,582 for a year. This does not include residence and meal plan fees for students living on

campus. Nor does this include costs students will have to spend in order to purchase textbooks and supplies for their courses. Cuts in state support over the past decade have shifted the costs of education from the state to students and their families. Back in 2002, the state covered 2/3 of the cost of a MnSCU education and students paid 1/3. By 2013, these ratios will have nearly reversed, and students and their families have had to make up for what was once

The dean of the College of Science and Engineering is resigning, effective June 1. David DeGroote has served SCSU as a faculty member and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences, in addition to his work as dean. He started as a faculty member at SCSU in 1985 and served in that role until he took over as the chair of the Department of Biological Sciences in 1996. In 2003, DeGroote became the dean of the College of Science and Engineering

During his tenure at SCSU, DeGroote has worked to strengthen partnerships with science-based business and industry and will continue to serve the university in other roles. Dan Gregory, associate provost for research and dean of graduate studies, will be interim dean. A national search will began in the fall to replace DeGroote.

Nanotech Continued from Page 1 It consists of 27 agencies, including the USDA, with the goal of understanding and controlling matter at the nano level. So far, $17 billion have been invested in nanotech, with the U.S. leading the funding. Wegner said, “one of the greatest problems facing nanotech today is making it commercially viable.” The reason that cellulose nanomaterials are not commercially viable is that it currently costs too much to produce to make it cost effective.

Nanotechnology will play a role in enhancing reservoir survelliance and enhancing drilling accuracy by injecting nano sensors into the reservoirs. The use of nanotech-enhanced wires will also be critical as these wires double the capacity of current energy transmission lines. Lynne Osterman, Executive Director of the NanoVox Project, said that while the previous two conferences were mainly Minnesota based, they have recently “expanded into a 5-state organization

which represents the whole region.” She was also excited for the new Integrated Science & Engineering Laboratory Facility (I.S.E.L.F.) which is coming to SCSU this fall. The new facility is an interdisciplinary project where researchers can learn

Another of the presenters was Atri Rungta, senior production developer for 3M, who spoke on the role of nanotech in today’s energy landscape. Rungta stated that the world’s energy consumption is on the rise. He also predicts that “by 2020 the USA projects to overtake Saudi Arabia as the largest producer of oil and gas.”

However, she has enjoyed every moment of her work. “I’ve been 100 percent invested in this project,” Vos said. “It’s been fun working with the students on ideas and concepts. I’m leaving [Atwood] in a good

place.” There are things in Minnesota and at SCSU that Vos would like to see change, though. One change she would like to see is the state and its taxpayers to believe that higher education is a priority, and should be available to all who want to go to school. She believes in the last 10 years the focus has changed. “This state used to be

thought of as the ‘brain state,’” Vos said. “I would love to go back 10 years and allow all people to attend any university they desire, and make it more affordable.” Vos has a number of plans for what she would do in retirement, mostly involving travel. She has great interest in China, Africa, and Japan, where one of her brothers currently lives. To her, China

Some of the uses of nanomaterials that Dr Wegner lectured on were creating smoother papers to make higher quality prints. They can also be used to make body armor, which is stronger than Kevlar, as well as lighter.

NEWS EDITOR Speaker Joshua Waldman gave a presentation on Wednesday titled “7 Mistakes Job Seekers Make Online”. Waldman is a graduate from Brown University and is an expert with social media. He is also the author of “Job Searching with Social Media for Dummies”. The event had many sponsors, including Alumni Relations, Career Services Center, Herberger Business School and Student Government. Waldman’s presentation brought to light how much employers and recruiters use social media when hiring candidates. “What I want to illus-

trate is the reality you must face,” Waldman said early in the presentation. He had a demonstration where 10 senior class students from the audience came up to the front and held up signs showing average salaries for different majors coming out of college. The demonstration showed an eye-opening statistic. The two lowest salaries were $20,000 a year and were labeled retail for the career. Waldman went on to say two out of every ten college students will fall into an undesirable career after earning a college education. This is where Waldman brought social media into the mix, and described how it can be an effective tool when searching for a career

Since employers use recruiting methods via social media, wouldn’t it be wise to establish whom you are and what you aspire to be through whatever social media you use? Any social media website you have an account with can be viewed and inspected by recruiters for employers. Granted, they can only view photos and information you have set to public. Still, they can get a glimpse of your life via people’s home pages. Waldman played a game with the audience where he showed A and B cruits and we, the audience, had to choose which one we

would hire out of the two. The decisions were pretty obvious for which ones to choose, as some had pictures of people drinking or looking careless on their The thing is, not everyone realizes this. Almost every employer will use social media to get an inside look into lives of possible employee choices. Even if some of the content on panies will still take a look more about them.

Ditch your heroes: they don’t exist

Molly Willms EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Hello, my name is Humanity, and I have a hero problem. I know the concept of heroizing is varying degrees of importance from culture to culture, but many of us have a tendency to idolize and idealize those who do things we deem “good.” Think about it: when it comes to scandals and discussion, there’s little that measures up to the attention we give “good guys” when they do something bad. Tiger Woods. Michael Phelps. Lance Armstrong. All the way back to MLK, JFK, Clinton, Nixon and many others. We may fool ourselves into thinking we don’t do the same with nonathletes, non-politicians, non-celebrities. The unfortunate truth is, Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, Gandhi, Winston Churchill and other oft-quoted inspira-

pretty “bad” things. Charles Lindbergh, the Minnesota boy who did the impossible, was a rabid anti-Semite. We deemed it appropriate to name an airport after him. Margaret Sanger, the courageous pioneer of women’s reproductive rights, was a follower of the pseudo-science of eugenics, which sought to eliminate all non-white people. Our founding fathers, so revered and over-used by modern politicians, crafted a constitution based on the principles of the supremacy of white male land-owners over all others. Sorry folks, but I’ve got to give you my own personal inconvenient truth: heroes don’t exist. They never have. Before the digital age and the time of widespread literacy and philosophical education, they appeared to be everywhere. Anyone who did a good thing for a lot of people was a hero, revered forevermore, immortalized in art and held up as the ideal human. The problem is that doing something good or right doesn’t erase your humanity. You’re still prone to mistakes, you’re still prone to double standards and you may go on to do bad things, even after the good.

What’s more, we’re now aware that no one person, organization or culture has the market cornered on morality. As much as our congresswoman may assert, all cultures are created equal. We can dispute customs that are different from ours and apply universal standards of humanity, but there isn’t one right way to feel, think and see the world anymore. The point is that we, humanity, have evolved past the hero. It’s archaic. demands of human beings. It’s time to move on to celebrating deeds, actions, thoughts, progress and ideas. Don’t put the pressure of heroism on your favorite athlete, or deem the most brilliant scientist in the world a model for all areas of life. Take only the good things and strive to those ideals. We don’t live in a day of forced worship; you won’t be burned at the stake for picking and choosing your morals independent of a role model. Maybe this is all too much for you. Maybe you can’t do without your heroes. That’s your business and your right, but I fear your come-down.

Is sovereignty relevant anymore? was still in its infancy and Twitter had yet to see the light of day. Myspace was all the rage. Social media was still in the takeoff

JP Winters COLUMNIST

I remember when one of my high school history teachers gave a lesson on what are the characteristics of a recognizable country. One of these characteristics was sovereignty. At the time I didn’t think much of it because it seemed like a fairly black and white trait. How can you call an area of land its own country if it has to answer to another country? There is a term for such relationships. Areas that are formerly recognized as countries but are placed under severe pressure by another country are commonly referred to as “satellite states.” As we begin to see the world become increasingly interdependent, I am noticing that all nations are acting more and more like satellite states of each other. If I remember correctly my teacher gave his lesson when I was in tenth grade. This was back in 2007 when Facebook

was going to mean for our generation. It was a bit harder to form an impression of people around the globe, plus I was still only 15, so I cared more about chasing down girls than observing the political landscape. Now though, I’ve observed from following the news and following the Twittersphere that countries in the developed world are ridiculously intertwined, and that it seems like they pick and choose some developing nations to help out, usually because there’s something to be gained. I’m not sure if it’s just the political game, but I feel like the US government enjoys doing its best to view all other countries through what can be exploited from them, and if there is something to be gained their sovereignty is soon compromised in some sort of form. Usually it is economic, but if all else fails we’ll just invade a place and write it off as a the inevitable woes that come along with proudly

claiming yourself as a superpower, or are they simply a revamped and more discrete form of colonialism? It might be necessary to ask the question “Is colonialism necessarily a bad thing?” I would argue that it’s only and somewhat dehumanizing to those outside the circle. Since we are getting so advanced in our ability to communicate, questionable decisions made by the powerful are snapping back to hit us in the face with a quicker and quicker form of instant karma. Maybe I’m being a little too paranoid with my musings of sovereignty is in jeopardy, but at the very least it is undeniable that global politics are getting more and more intertwined and that it is changing how the world operates itself. How good or bad that change is depends on whether you have an optimistic or pessimistic view of the human race.

Clear out the mess, keep out the stress: 4 ways to living an organized lifestyle

Jason Tham OPINIONS EDITOR

You’re working on your papers and getting ready to study for that midterm quiz before spring break. Somehow, you just couldn’t focus. The voice in your mind keeps reminding you that you have to send an email to your professor, take the trash out, feed the cat, trim your nails, and do grocery… Now, take a pause. If you are reading this at home, look around your desk. If you’re cubicle or workstation. Do you papers, books, stationeries, and probably food and other junk?

The messier our living or working spaces are, the more our minds will be bombarded by stimuli – visual, olfactory, tactile – that may cause our sense to work overtime to focus on things that are less important. This explains why we get tired and stressed out easily when we are surrounded by stacks of papers, random post-it notes, and trash that are laying around for no reason. According to Dr. Bourg, clutter constantly signals to our brains that our work is not done. Mess also creates feeling of guilt and embarrassment, hence may inhibit creativity and productivity. So, in order to lift these great weights from our shoulders and to make room from creativity and productivity (quite literally), we should take a few minutes to make these adjustments:

What makes me choose this app over others is simply its clean and uncluttered interface. You may use other means of organization such as a planner, pocket calendar, to-do list, or other creative methods to realign your work. My experience tells me that keeping this habit of persistently

Why not take half an hour today to just clear out the clutter at the place you work and your life less messy? Our society as a whole is moving toward a technologically minimalistic culture. You can tell from the computers and new gadgets design, such as Windows 8 interface and Apple’s composition, that less creates more. For a better living experience, you should, too, lead a cleaner and less occupied lifestyle.

Jake Hagedorn discusses side project, BrakeAway J.P. Winters STAFF REPORTER

This Thursday the blues/acoustic project BrakeAway celebrated the release of its Place for a welcoming crowd. The group gets its name from the core members of the band: Jake “Braking” Hagedorn and Doug Millaway. The two were accompanied by a drummer, bassist, and keyboardist as they played from 7:30 until 10 p.m., ending with a standing ovation from the crowd. After the show I was able to get ahold of Jake “Braking” Hagedorn to ask him a few questions about the music, the project, guitars, and collegiate music education. Q: How often do you play at the Pioneer Place? show on the main stage, but I’ve played for the variety show and a few other things there. Plus I play the veranda lounge too every two or three months. Q: Do you play anywhere else around

the St. Cloud area? A: I play a lot at the Local Blend in St. Joe, and I do a lot of work with Avon Area quilting shop sometimes—Aunt Annie’s quilt shop in Avon. Q: I’m guessing the atmosphere is pretty relaxed at a quilting shop. A: Yeah, it’s pretty chilled out. Q: How many CDs of “Big Surprise” did you guys print off ? A: We only printed about 150 because it’s so hard to sell physical copies these days. We included it with the ticket price, which is kind of a nice touch. People don’t like to spend a lot of extra when they come to show they’re already paying for. Q; How did you and Doug end up collaborating on this project? A: Doug and I just had got done working on my solo CD and he had a concept thing he was working on. He was trying to collaborate with all kinds of different people, but I was kind of the only one that kept showing up so it just worked out that way. We had both been going to open mic

at St. Joe’s at the Local Blend for quite a while and we got to know each other there. Through that I got more involved with Avon Area Arts events, and then eventually he invited me over to his studio to record. He has a lot of people over to his studio to record. Q: How many of the songs did you write and how many did Doug write? A: We decided early on that all the songs on Brake Away were written by both of us. A couple of the songs I did all the lyrics and he edited me, but most of them were him writing the initial concept and then I went and edited him. We have a good trust in rapport. When you collaborate with a person you need it that way. It can be tricky, but generally we don’t have any problems with that. Q: You went to school for music, right? A: Yeah, I went to Gustavus Adolphus for music performance and minored in theatre. Q: What was the most important thing you learned in music school? A: There’s kind of a weird disconnect

between rock music that people actually listen to and the stuff they teach you in school. The stuff they teach you eventually comes around and it’s useful, but it doesn’t feel like it really matters a lot. Still the technique does come back around. I kind of wish schools were a little more up to date about that kind of stuff. I mean they teach music, why not teach the stuff people actually play? Q: What do you think of the music scene in St. Cloud? A: It’s come a long way. I remember when I got out of college there was not much happening in this town. It was rough. Honestly I think the legacy fund has helped a lot. A lot of arts organizations have really made a lot of headway. It’s a lot better. There’s a lot of opportunities for everybody. All in all it’s gotten better. BrakeAway’s next scheduled show is April 27 at the Local Blend in St. Joesph.

Mouse on Mars plays 7th Street, backed by mystery group Christopher Timp STAFF REPORTER

Monday night’s show at Minneapolis’ clothes and vibrate their organs. IDM veterans Mouse on Mars came to deliver this experience with the help of mystery Minneapolis house music project Dreamweapon on Feb. 25. With the doors opening at 7:30 p.m., the pre-show music faded along with the lights an hour later to the audible murmurings of fans speculating who the mystery opening act, Dreamweapon, was. what looked like a spaceship control station less than 20 analogue music components attached to it. Fans were able to surround the men as they played, giving them a point of view that is rarely possible. It turned out to be only the seventh

show for a brand new collaboration project between members of Minneapolis bands Food Pyramid and Daughters of the Sun. “We quite literally just started this new house music project,” said Daughters of the Sun founder, Nick Koenigs. “We are together this spring.” Dreamweapon had a very noisy and industrial set, always supported by a viciously group was constantly in communication throughout the set, occasionally laughing and coordinating with each other to keep their many moving parts in synchronization. Among the instrumental aspects of their songs, Koenigs would pick up a microphone and emit monotone vocals that were put through a series of effects machines. His style recalled that of Liars front man Angus Andrew, who has a very similar approach to vocals within their own

industrial sound. Mouse on Mars came on next to the loud screams of a crowd of over 100 people, according to a loose count done by the 7th Street Entry staff. The crowd, despite being a lot smaller than the packed club venues that the electronic duo are used to, made up for size in enthusiasm. At times, Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner would look up from their performance to see nearly everyone dancing. This would cause the duo to trade glances, smile and almost appear to giggle. Their set, mostly in support of their new releases, left most of their older music behind for a more pop-heavy collection of club-oriented music. There were few open sonic inch of their set with a full spectrum of sounds that would attack your ears with surprising clarity. Electronic music shows are sometimes stereotyped in a negative light. Some will describe these types of shows as a “CD

playing party” where an artist does not do much more than “turn knobs”. However, Mouse on Mars is best known for their intense live performances. “We come into a show with really just a general framework in mind of the songs we will play,” Toma said. “We play these songs manually so that every experience is organic.” a moving video that looked like a malfunctioning Atari game, the two men could be seen dancing wildly to the music they were playing. The group performed an hour long set, and came back out after a break to play a 30-minute encore performance. Mouse on Mars has been around for nearly two decades, and are on tour supporting their 10th studio album, “Parastrophics,” and a mini release named “WOW”.

Bullet For My Valentine continue downward spiral on ‘Temper, Temper’ Jeremiah Graves ALBUM REVIEW

Bullet For My Valentine released their most recent album “Temper, Temper” worldwide on Feb. 11. The album has 11 songs, which produce 44.4 minutes of “metal.” This is the fourth album Bullet For My Valentine has come out with since 2005. Previous albums include “The Poison”, “Scream Aim Fire”, and “Fever”. BFMV is a four-man metal/thrash metal band from Wales, UK who formed in 1998. They’ve sold 2.7 million copies combined with the last three albums. and “Scream Aim Fire” had a metalcore style with a large dose of screaming and a very aggressive tone. “Fever” trailed away from this standard and took on a new sound, which somehow hit No. 3 on the U.S. billboard at its peak. How? I have no clue. “Breaking Point” opens the new album and catches the listeners’ ears with the band’s always-impressive riffs, well-timed pull offs, and solid drumming. The chorus allows the audience to rally behind it and sing or scream along. Heavy shredding the second and third chorus. This pretty much follows all of their previous albums’ opening tracks, hooking the audience, and leaving them jacked to hear the rest of the album. That’s when all hell breaks loose. The majority of the album is a mess, lowing the same blueprint throughout the songs: intro, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus. Lyrics are straight from a depressed teenager’s diary, which isn’t out of the norm for BFMV, but the previous albums

actually showed passion and talented musicianship to back them up. Matt Tuckers’ singing, while good, doesn’t pose much diversity, primarily sticking with the mid range sound. The lack of screaming in the album isn’t surprising, they’ve weaned away from it since “The Poison,” which makes no sense considering that is their most desired and listened to album. Without the passion and talent shown in the true direction of this album was aimed towards. If their goal was to remain on the shelf, mission accomplished. The album found itself tons of criticism because of the band’s early release of single track, “Riot”. This was the downfall of the album, promoting the laziest and least interesting song on the CD. Repetitive and thoughtless lyrics combined with the most intermediate of guitar parts were a major deterrent to any curious in purchasing the album. Take this song off the album and never pre-release it, who knows what this album could’ve done? The most depressing part of the album is the track, ‘Tears Don’t Fall Part Two.” This song is the sequel, obviously, to Tears Don’t Fall, which is widely favored as the best song Bullet For My Valentine has ever released. They decided it wasn’t enough to produce a mediocre album; they must also attempt to ruin one of their all time greats. The guitar is a similar variation of the original, just played in drop C instead of standard, offering a deeper tone yet a recognizable tune. The original blows this song out of the water, with its better vocals nitely falling by the end of this catastrophe. There are two great songs on this album that do deserve high recognition. “P.O.W.” and “Dead To The World” are both genu-

ine masterpieces that could’ve sold more copies together than this whole album. “Dead To The World” is a bright spot on the album, throwing a little bit of everything into the track. The slow and soothing intro has a very “Hearts Burst Into Fire” (“Scream Aim Fire” album) sound to it, with the guitar hitting high-pitched scales and gentle sweeps. This track has the most heartfelt and powerful lyrics on the album like, “Hands around my throat, tighten the grip, bound by my sins so my wings have been clipped.” The guitar breaks out late in the song, amping up the track, yet not taking anything away from the powerful lyricism or natural feel of the song. “P.O.W.” shows the depth and tightness of BFMV, it promotes a simple yet affective guitar part, but really focuses on the voice of Matt Tucker. It doesn’t have nearly the aggressiveness that the band is known for, but this accents

the versatility of this band. The guitar, although not the feature part of the song, plays a perfect role, synchronizing with the singer throughout the song. The high notes and key change in the third chorus send shivers down your spine, and highlight the true talent behind this band. This is the best song on the album, hands down, and it’s a shame it won’t get the credit deserved being on arguably the worst BFMV album yet. Bullet For My Valentine seems to have sold out, something never thought possible, lyrics and singing have fallen far from the tree, and their reputation is hanging by a need of a redemption album, but by that time it may be too late for this once great metal band.

Husky Sports Huskies can’t seal the deal; split with MTU

Friday SCSU (20-12-1, 17-7-1 WCHA) is one step closer to the McNaughton Cup after a 5-3 win over the Michigan Tech Huskies Friday night before a crowd of 4,419 at the National Hockey Center. After Friday night, SCSU had a three-point lead in the WCHA with 35 points. North Dakota (18-9-6, 13-6-6) has 32 points and moved into second place with a 4-2 win over Bemidji State. Minnesota (21-7-5, 13-7-5) stayed at 31 points after losing 2-0 to Denver (12-8-5, 17-10-5). In the opening minutes of the game, the Huskies had an early scare, referee CJ Beauline stopped play period when a Michigan Tech player banged one off the pipe and nearly made it in. The play was put under review, but no goal was awarded. However, the Huskies didn’t let the early scare deter them. At the 6:25 nior captain Drew LeBlanc night on a power play given to the Huskies by Michgan Tech’s Blake Pietila. It was LeBlanc’s 11 goal this season and 43rd point. LeBlanc leads the nation in points and assists (32). LeBlanc is a candidate for college hockey’s Hobey Baker Award, awarded to the best college player in the nation. Freshman Kalle Kossila and junior Nick Jensen assisted LeBlanc on the goal. Although the Huskies were up 1-0, sophomore goaltender Ryan Faragher was the predominant reason the Huskies were able to stay alive for the majority of with 42 saves on the night. “Faragher is the only

reason that the game stayed close. We made far too many mistakes tonight, they had too many quality chances, and hit the post a few times early,” head coach Bob Motzko said of his sophomore goaltender. “We let him down at the end. He was having a great game, it was all his game at 4-0, but then we let him down in the third period. Senior captain Ben Hanowski scored his 14th goal of the season 1:46 into the second period on a breakaway play where he sent a beautiful wrist shot over Michigan Tech’s Pheonix Copley’s left shoulder. “We had a 3 on 2 there and the defenseman just kind of tried to take the pass away and left me open. We knew he went down a lot and I just tried to put the puck up, and fortunately it went in,” Hanowski said about his goal on the night. He was assisted by junior Nic Dowd and Kevin Gravel. This gave the Huskies a two-goal lead early in the second period and the Huskies didn’t squander it. Halfway through the period, Michigan Tech evened the shots on goal at 17 apiece, but Faragher continued to hold strong, making save after save for the Huskies. The Huskies scored their third goal of the game with 5:31 remaining in the period. Freshman Ethan Prow scored on a pass from Dowd. Dowd and senior Taylor Johnson were awarded assists on the play. The assist was Dowd’s second of the evening. It was Prow’s third goal of the season, and it put SCSU up 3-0. The second period still had more magic in its bag for the Huskies though, as freshman Kalle Kossila scored his 14th goal of the season 19:01 into the second period on a beautiful series of passes. LeBlanc earned one of

the assists on the play after making a pass to sophomore Andrew Prochno and Prochno fed the puck to Kossila who sent it easily past Copley. The goal sent the Huskies into the locker room after the 2nd period with a four-goal lead. “It was deceiving when it was 4-0, it was not a 4-0 hockey game. The game ended up kinda like it should’ve been,” Motzko said about his 4-0 lead entering the third period. The third period opened with less intensity than the second for the Huskies. MIU came on strong and fast as soon as the puck was dropped and made the most of each opportunity. Although Hanowski nearly scored his second goal of the night 4:03 into the third period, Hanowski sent the puck zinging directly at the top bar of the net and almost into the net. The play was put under review, but it was decided that there was no goal on the play. MTU didn’t remain scoreless the entire game despite Faragher’s best attempts. Milos Gordic put on the board 9:40 into the third period on an assist from Jujhar Khaira. Exactly three minutes later, MTU got another break on a bad rebound and Bradley Stebner capitalized on SCSU’s mistake, narrowing the score even further to 4-2. Michigan Tech continued to mount their impressive comeback effort. MTU’s David Johnstone added a third goal on the board for MTU at 14:27 into the period, but the Huskies didn’t let MTU hang around for long. “That was a scary situation to be in, Kalle [Kossila] was able to get another goal their and thankfully it ended the way it did,” Motzko said of the situation. Kossila scored his second goal on the evening

15:44 into the period on a bizarre play where freshman Jonny Brodzinski received a pass from Prochno after a that may have caused Copley to become distracted, Kossila drilled the puck home, giving SCSU the 5-3 lead. of the game, Kossila looked to seal the win with an open net hat trick, and narrowly missed. “Yes we made some plays, great we got a win, but that was scary,” Motzko said.

Saturday STAFF REPORT

SCSU (20-13-1, 17-81 WCHA) missed a huge opportunity Saturday night to clinch at least a share of the McNaughton Cup after a devastating 5-1 loss to Michigan Tech (11-17-4, 7-15-4 WCHA). The loss means the Huskies will not clinch the #1 seed in the playoffs and will not clinch at least a share of the WCHA title. Instead, SCSU goes into the last weekend of the regular season against Wisconsin with a two-point lead over Minnesota (22-7-5, 14-7-5 WCHA) and North Dakota (18-9-7, 13-6-7 WCHA). Wisconsin, who the Huskies will travel to face this weekend, are four points behind the Huskies. If the Huskies get swept, it is possible for Wisconsin to win the McNaughton cup. The Gophers beat Denver 5-1 to stay within striking distance and North Dakota tied Bemidji State 2-2 to also remain in the race for the cup. Minnesota-State Mankato split with Colorado College over the weekend to put them at 31 points. MSU-Mankato is now also a viable contender for the McNaughton Cup. MTU jumped out to an early, dominating lead after Tanner Kero scored

another goal at 3:51 of the Khaira. To make matters worse for the Huskies, MTU made it 3-0 with a goal at 4:23 into the period after Riley Sweeney scored the third goal for MTU in The second period was no better for the Huskies, after MTU increased their lead to 4-0 after David Johnstone slipped it by sophomore goaltender Ryan Faragher at the 13:03 mark. The third period went slightly better for the Huskies, but not much. MTU’s Alex Petan game for Michigan Tech at 8:28 of the period. The Huskies started to make a comeback at the end of the game however, freshman forward Jimmy Murray put one goal on the board for the Huskies at

the 17:16 mark of the third period to cut it to 5-1. The Huskies had a goal

of the game, but it was decided that there was no goal on the play. In the game, SCSU outshot MTU 37-27. Faragher had 14 saves and four goals allowed on the evening. On the power play, SCSU was 0-of-7 and MTU was 0-of-2. The Huskies travel to Wisconsin next weekend to try to win the McNaughton Cup. The Huskies have never won the McNaughton cup and it is their last year to do so, as they will be joining the NCHC conference next season. On the bright side, the Huskies are guaranteed home ice during the weekend of March 15-17 for the playoffs.
