BLUES: Seniors step up to lead young squad Continued from page 9
“When the energy needs to be picked up, I just go out there and try to provide the spark,” said Lambeth. Despite the differences in strengths between them, the seniors have formed a strong bond with each other over the past four years. Among the highlights of their experiences on the team include last season’s invitational in Hawaii and the conference championship win over Central Missouri two years ago. The four teammates have also lived together but have since gone their separate ways and made friends with new people. While it may seem like they’re doing their own thing now, the seniors made the decision with the focus of team chemistry in mind. “We’re still close and we still go out and do things together, but we’re trying to get everyone together,” Lambeth said. “We don’t want them to feel like we’re just here for each other. We really do care about everyone else.” Nicole Stejskal is a junior mass media major. Reach her at nicole.stejskal@ washburn.edu.

LOGO: Ferre says WU paying ‘price of success’ Continued from page 5 Gene Cassell is the Washburn Sports Information Director and with Mike Knipper, his assistant, they’re involved in getting the media guides out each year. Cassell declined comment on the subject. Another change being made in the athletic department is through team equipment and apparrel. The changes to the uniforms began this semester with all three fall sports teams getting updates including the football team getting new helmets and pants, the soccer team getting new jerseys completely, and the volleyball team getting new away jerseys. While the new “W” logo is more present in the football uniforms, the other two fall sports have several other items such as warm-ups and bags with the new logo on them. The main goal in the changes is that all the old “W” logo is removed from everything on uniforms and other athletic apparel. “In the first game of 2010, there will be no Wisconsin-style “W” on any [uni-
forms],” said Anson. Ferre said the Washburn athletic department is fine with the changes made with the “W” logo and they like that it says Washburn on it. He also said this whole thing showed how possessive Wisconsin was. “We don’t ever cross paths,” Ferre said. “We have played some of [Wisconsin’s] Division III schools in football and other sports. But yes, our success brought this out to the forefront. And obviously that’s a positive for us. And maybe when we went to the national championship, and won the national championship a few years back [in women’s basketball], that was really a point where they really recognized it. They felt it was too close to their ‘W.’ You know because I know there are others out there that use it and are even closer, some even the same color as Wisconsin. I guess that’s the price of success sometimes.” Eric Smith is a senior mass media major. Reach him at eric.smith1@washburn.edu.
