Roughly 75 students showed up to the Union Ballroom on Tuesday night for the University Center for Leadership’s “Leadership Safari,” where speaker Ryan Penneau discussed the impor-tance of “showing up.”

During the presentation, Penneau told stories from his life, connecting them to his lessons in being an effective leader.

“Are you willing to sacrifice com-placency for who you can become?” Penneau asked the audience.

The recurring message of the speech was the discomfort and ben-efit of being ripped away from your

comfort zone. “You’re not just here to get a

degree,” Penneau said. “Don’t be scared that something bad can hap-pen if you take a risk.”

Penneau said his message could boil down to either “show-up,” or “destroy your comfort zone.”

”It’s the challenges that make you more complex, more capable than you are right now.” Penneau said.

Students in attendance had good things to say about Penneau.

“I like that [Penneau] had a lot of energy. It was really helpful if you’re one of those people who are stuck in a shell,” said freshman Zoe Shuki.

Freshman Alexa Busbuy enjoyed the presentation as well, and found Penneau to be engaging and funny.

“I thought he had a really good message ... he presented his infor-mation clearly, and pushed you to go with it,” said Busbuy.

Assistant Dean of Students of the Center for Leadership Jacob Clemens said the school was very excited to get Penneau to speak.

“We had great recommenda-tions from a lot of colleagues,” said Clemens. “Many universities said he was phenomenal.”

Clemens said that Penneau also assisted with the Center for Leadership’s staff training pro-gram for a day, which made a “huge difference.”

Tuition, enrollment and University funding were some of the main top-ics University President Mary Ellen Mazey covered in Tuesday’s State of the University Address.

“Simply put, the current operat-ing model for higher education and Bowling Green State University is unsustainable,” Mazey said to an audience of approximately 400 in the Donnell Theatre in the Wolfe Center. “With student debt on the rise, we can-

not afford to continue to raise tuition to cover our costs.”

Tuition was raised two percent this year, but Mazey said she wants to reverse the trend by lowering costs and increasing revenue.

Under the State Share of Instruction, the formula used to distribute the bulk of state money provided to Ohio’s public universities, 50 percent of University funding is based on the total number of students who graduate. University SSI has declined 30 percent “in recent years,” while it has gone up as much as nine percent for other universities,

Mazey said.To remedy this, the goal, said Mazey,

is to retain students while growing enrollment, whether the students are traditional, international, out-of-state, adult or transfer.

Mazey outlined 10 keys to address-ing these issues, all related to the strategic plan.

Among these keys are innovative pro-gramming, new community partner-ships, co-ops and internships for every

Anti-abortion group sparks conversation,

student protestsCreated Equal believes in age

discrimination, aims to raise awareness

By Alex AlusheffManaging Editor

The lack of student attendance at city council meet-ings encouraged First Ward Council Member Daniel Gordon to bring meetings to them.

“It’s about reaching more of an audience and be as inclusive as possible,” Gordon said, who initially pushed for the Oct. 7 meeting to be hosted in the Union. “If we have it on campus, students can see what we’re doing and speak up.”

The idea spawned from Gordon’s community improvement meetings, hosted before council meet-ings, which focused on issues on the east side of town.

The only thing blocking the city from scheduling a meeting or two on campus this year is the added cost.

Government officials and visitors would have to pay to park at the Union lot to host the meeting on campus as well as have to pay to rent a room and audiovisual equipment, said John Fawcett, municipal

An abortion education group hosted an exhibit in the Union Oval, drawing student interest and protest.

Created Equal has been touring around the country for 2-and-a-half years going to differ-ent college campuses to talk to students about abortion.

The organization puts pictures on display of aborted babies so people who walk through cam-pus can easily see them.

“[Our goal is] to raise awareness on contem-porary age discrimination which is abortion,” said Mark Harrington, the executive director of Created Equal.

The argument of age discrimination is that babies are aborted because they are just babies and cannot speak up for themselves, Harrington said.

“Babies aren’t developed because they are younger; we are discriminating based on age,” he said. “Every reason for abortion is they are younger. They aren’t as developed as other people. We don’t discriminate based on age.”

To get people to stop and talk to them, the Created Equal volunteers offered brochures and asked people’s opinions on abortion.

STUDENTS LINED the sidewalk outside Pita Pit for free pitas on Tuesday afternoon.

PILING IN THE PIT

By Dominic BinkleyReporter

Some students’ bicycles locked to structures other than bike racks on campus might have their locks broken and be taken— but not by bike thieves.

University police and Campus Operations are working together to stop students from locking their bikes to objects such as trees, poles and benches.

The issue came up earlier this month when a bike was locked to a handicap door button at the main entrance to the Wolfe Center, making it difficult to press the button, said Capt. Tim James of the University police.

“[That’s] when folks finally said we’ve got to do something about this and get the police involved to see how we can rem-edy the situation,” James said.

Both the student handbook and city law require bikes to be locked to only bike racks. Failure to do so can result in the removal of the bike at the owner’s expense.

If an improperly-locked bike blocks people from walking or entering a building, then Campus Operations might cut the lock and give the bike to University police, who store it in

administrator, who oversees the day-to-day operation of city functions.

All the amenities are free at the City Administrative Services Building located on 304 N. Church St, where council is currently hosted.

Moving the meetings might also confuse regu-lar visitors who may not be aware of the change, Fawcett said.

“Many people don’t have access to the Internet or computer, but know [city council] is every first and third Monday at city hall,” he said.

Though a future council meeting on campus is still in the works, Gordon sees the potential to include stu-dents and student organiza-tions such as Undergraduate Student Government and Graduate Student Senate.

Some student govern-ment organizations support the possible outreach to the campus community.

“I think it’s a great oppor-tunity to try something new,” said senior Alex Solis, president of USG. “I’m always hopeful we can col-laborate with city council.”

The only downside is city council meets at 7 p.m. while USG meets at 7:30, making it hard for members to attend, Solis said.

While schedules may conflict, Gordon expects increased attendance among students with a future move.

“There are some issues that might attract student attention like fracking,” Gordon said.

Some students agreed with Gordon on student attendance.

“It would definitely bring people to the meeting,” said junior Arielle Beachy. “Especially if you had it on Campus Update so people would be more aware.”

Freshman Emma Read thinks the location itself would bring more students.

“Students like to stay in their own area, so they’d be more likely to show up in the Union.”

Though logistics have pushed back a possible campus city council meet-ing, Gordon hopes the move improves relations between campus and the city.

“It’s a way to bring us closer together,” he said. “There may be a few things to work out, but we’re making the effort.”

a warehouse, James said. If no one claims the bike after a 180 day period, the bike is sold at auction.

Sophomore Michaela McCamey rides her bike on campus and said there are not enough spaces to lock bikes.

“I had to lock my bike to a chair once, when the bike racks were full,” she said.

James said students should register bikes with city police to help identify ownership in case a bike is impounded or reported missing.

City law requires all bikes be registered with the Bowling Green Police Division, said Maj. Tony Hetrick of the Bowling Green Police Division.

“It aids us in getting it back to you if it comes up missing so it’s really a benefit to the bike owner to come up and provide the information and buy the license,” Hetrick said. “It’s like an added level of insurance.”

Nick Hennessy, sustain-ability coordinator at the University and head of the Orange Bike Program, removed several Orange Bikes locked to objects around the Wolfe Center.

The problem is not because of the number of bike racks on campus,

he said.“You see bikes locked

up to the [handicapped] bar and to the physical structure of the Wolfe Center and then you look over at the bike racks, which are not far from the entrance of the building, and there are two bikes there and there would be like a dozen bikes locked up to other objects,” Hennessy said.

The University added 30 recycled plastic bike racks this past year as part of a Student Green Initiative Fund project headed by Undergraduate Student Government and another 50 were added during the summer, he said.

The problem is caused by the increased number of bikes on campus at the beginning of the semester and students not knowing where the bike racks are, he said.

“I think really what you see is in the fall, a lot of people bring bikes to cam-pus and there’s this sud-den population explosion of bikes and it seems like there’s a shortage of space at some of the racks,” Hennessy said. “It’s just a matter of evening out at the beginning of the semester until everybody knows where the bike racks are and realizes that they’re not supposed to be tied to a tree, a lamp post or a bar in front of a building.”

YeaRlY pRObleMs with eMail time to move on from celebrities’ choices in music, stop judging

Charisma makes difference in leadership, separates different types of leaders

Lately it has been hard not to notice Miley Cyrus. Literally everyone is talk-ing about her, both good and bad. With her scan-dalous behavior and release of her new music, she is surely the topic of conversation.

Quite frankly, I am tired of hearing about her. Either you like her or you don’t.

Personally, I like Miley. She is doing her own thing and does not care what others think. She is creat-ing hit music that no mat-ter how much you want to hate it, you can’t.

W hat Miley does is her own business. Sure she is in the public eye and she is subject to specu-lation and scrutiny, but in rea l it y, her act ions don’t direct ly af fect our ever yday l ives.

Why do we pick on Miley and celebrities alike? The answer is simple. They are what they are: celeb-rities. We are fascinated with their lives because they are so much differ-ent from ours and this

intrigues most people.We want what they

have and find anything to pick on them about. We are interested in every aspect of their lives and when they slip up, even just once, we are all over it and want all the latest information.

Now back to Miley. So she made a scandalous video. One that is kind of weird even. And what do we do? We judge her for it. Call her names. But did we ever think that maybe there is a meaning behind what she is depicting in the video? Maybe it is just her form of self-expres-sion, her form of art.

Celebrity singers have been nude in their music videos before and I do not see why Miley being nude in her video is such a big deal.

She displayed nudity in an artistic and classy way, especially compared to some other videos I have seen on television.

She has transitioned f rom her Ha n na h Montana phase and is now a talented female artist expressing herself through her work.

In the celebrity world, any news is good news. Whether people are say-ing good or bad things about Miley or anyone

else for that matter, they are still talking about them. Publicity is public-ity and that is how they make money.

So whatever your opin-ion is regarding Miley, it really is not going to affect her. She is going to do what she wants.

If you don’t like what she is doing then don’t watch her videos or lis-ten to her music. Plain and simple. She is going to be famous and make money regardless of your individual opinion.

However, clearly she is doing something right because her music is at the top of the charts and her new video has close to one million views.

Basically, I just don’t think people trash talking her is going to make a dif-ference in her actions and it is just plain annoying.

It seems like everywhere I go people have some-thing to say about Miley. I think it is time for a new topic of conversation. I am tired of hearing about her new song and her perfor-mance at the VMA’s. It’s done and over with. Let’s talk about something else.

Beware t he Ides of March. This examination in leadership will deal with the anti-Augustus f ig ure l iterature has defied nearly as much as his own countrymen who literally defied him. I am of course speaking of Julius Caesar, Augustus’ adoptive father and a man whom Shakespeare has made as famous as Homer’s Achilles.

While everyone knows who Caesar is, few actu-ally know anything about the man. It is true; Caesar was named dictator for life, which is the essence of the contrast between the Caesar and Augustus’ leadership methods. This example is, however, not the focus of this issue;

instead I will focus on the unique leadership traits Caesar exhibited. As the suggested, Caesar was by far one of the most charismatic individuals in history.

At one moment or anoth-er, we have all known someone in our lives who was seemingly perfect. This individual was prob-ably intelligent, likable, attractive, successful and everyone loved them, except for when they secretly hated them: enter Gaius Julius Caesar.

There is no way to describe him as anything less than perfect and polit-ically untouchable. The man could do anything he wanted and he got away with it. A great example of this being the rumors surrounding Caesar’s pre-ferred romantic endeav-ors. I’ll leave the details to be explained in a differ-ent forum, but the point is that these rumors would

have destroyed any other politician’s career, both then and now. Because this was Caesar, and he was so cool and charis-matic, these rumors did nothing to detract from his likability.

It is fair to want to know what he did that was so “cool.” My favor-ite example comes from an early period in his life. On a return trip to Rome, Caesar was cap-tured by pirates in the Aegean Sea. When these pirates thought to ransom Caesar for 20 talents of silver, Caesar decided to barter the ransom price. Submitting to his request, the pirates agreed with Caesar’s demand to raise the ransom price to 50 tal-ents of silver. Yes, Caesar demanded a higher ran-som price because he would have been insulted if the great Caesar was ransomed for anything less. Further to this point,

while Caesar was a pris-oner of the pirates, he was the life of the boat. Caesar would both dance and sing for the pirates. In one show, the pirates became irate and insult-ed Caesar. Despite being their prisoner, he prom-ised the pirates upon his release that he would raise a navy, capture the pirates, and crucify them all for insulting him.

It turns out Caesar is a man of his word.

Another great example of the “cool” Caesar is in reference to the quote “Et tu, Brute?” Now, unless you respect the literary and fictional writings of a 16th century playwright over the views of contem-porary Roman historians, there is no evidence that Caesar actually said this. Instead, he said some-thing much better when he looked upon Brutus. Before the reveal, there are two things we must

know about Caesar and Br utus’ relat ionship. While Caesar was not old enough to be Brutus’ father, had romantic encounters with Brutus’ mother. While Caesar was being stabbed to death, what he actually said was the Greek phrase “Kai su, teknon?” When translated into English this means “You too, child?” Yes, Gaius Julius Caesar is so cool that he invented the ‘yo momma’ joke.

Caesar was so cool, so charismatic you could not stop the guy by spread-ing rumors; you could not abduct him without him coming out ahead. You couldn’t even shank the guy without him get-ting the last word. These examples I have provided are not only comical, but also extremely relevant to life in politics. The level of charisma needed to brush off both intellectu-al and physical attacks is

an important skill for any great leader. Caesar hap-pened to be the best at it and this was what let him rise to the top of the politi-cal spectrum in Rome.

For the next examina-tion in leadership, we will discuss the only man who can challenge Augustus as the greatest leader of all time. This man may lack some of Augustus’ political savvy, but then again, he may not. The questions that surround this man are so immense and all-encompassing it is difficult to gain a true measure of his qualities. While he may be sur-rounded in a shroud of questions, one truth does exist; anyone that ever lived before the inven-tion of gun powder can be happy they did not meet him on the battlefield.

BG is preparing to take on another Big Ten opponent. The BG Men’s soccer team will com-pete against Michigan State Wednesday at 5 p.m. They have tied the previous two Big Ten opponents: Michigan who they tied 1-1 on Sept. 2 and Ohio State who they tied 0-0 Friday night.

BG hosted Ohio State in front of a record-setting audience in a game that went into double over-time and ended in a 0-0 tie.

They played their best game of the year while taking 35 shots and only allowing OSU to attempt 12 shots, said head soccer coach Eric Nichols.

The Falcons have defended themselves well against Big Ten teams and going into the upcom-

ing game they do not plan on changing their strategies.

“We obviously need to fin-ish our chances,” said captain Joey D’Agostino “We had a lot last game but tomorrow is a good opportunity.”

Michigan State was recently ranked in the Top 25 and head-ing into the game. BG plans on sticking to their game plan and following through on their shots. That is the key to winning against Michigan State, D’Agostino said.

The Falcons do not plan on practicing or preparing for this game any differently because it is against a Big Ten opponent. Playing well against them will only help them prepare for the MAC schedule.

The Falcons have showed improvement in their marking on

all sides of the field since their weekend in Milwaukee and that was shown against Ohio State according to coach Nichols. They look to continue their improve-ment as they finish their run against their Big Ten opponents.

“We might be good against Big Ten teams but we don’t look into it like that,” D’Agostino said. “Every game is its own game, its own champion-ship game so tomorrow we are just focusing solely on that. We are not going to look into what we have done in the past against them,” he said

The Falcons are preparing to go on the road where they hope to get their first win against a Big Ten team this season. This will be their last Big Ten opponent this season and it will bring them one game closer to the end of their stretch against ranked opponents.

Undervalued, overlooked players shine in week 2, kickers

standout for some teamsWeek 2 fantasy football update shows some overlooked players to pick up in waiver wire

SHUTin

theOUT

STROH

By Brett CreamerReporter

Week 2 in the NFL proved to be the week of the underdogs as it featured many players that were undervalued or over-looked during many fantasy football drafts.

After a tough loss in week one to San Francisco, Aaron Rodgers lit up the stat sheet throw-ing for 480 yards and 4 touch-downs against the Washington Redskins. The other two quar-terbacks to throw for over 400 yards this past weekend were Eagles Michael Vick and Chargers Philip Rivers. A sleep-er in week two was Saint Louis Rams Sam Bradford who threw for 352 yards and 3 touchdowns in a game where the Rams fell just short vs. the Falcons.

Although Tampa Bay starts the season 0-2, Doug Martin continues plugging a long. Last week vs. the Saints he rushed for 144 yards leading the NFL. After not running the ball one time in week 1, James Starks had a breakout game rushing for 132 yards and a touchdown. Starks also had 36 receiving yards in the win vs. Washington. Marshawn Lynch also had a big second week after his sluggish open-ing week in Carolina. Lynch accounted for three scores and 134 total yards in Monday nights victory vs. the 49ers. Denver Broncos Knowshon

Moreno looks to be a high radar player on waivers after rushing for 93 yards and two scores vs. the New York Giants.

Four wide receivers had over 150 receiving yards this week. DeSean Jackson led the group with 193 yards, followed by Julio Jones, Jimmy Graham, and James Jones. San Diego Chargers wide out Eddie Royal had three touchdowns vs. the Eagles and now leads the NFL with five touchdowns two weeks into the season. Royal had a total of five touchdowns since the 2009 season back when he was on the Broncos. The six-year Virginia Tech alum looks to bounce off the waivers in many fantasy leagues. Tight end Martellus Bennett was not only an impact for fantasy foot-ball owners, but also for the Chicago Bears when he caught the game winning touchdown pass from Jay Cutler. Bennett had seven catches for 76 yards and two scores vs. the Vikings. Bennett looks to be a new target for not only Cutler, but fantasy football owners as well.

Although kickers usually don’t get much publicity, they can either be the hero or the goat for their team or your fan-tasy team. San Diego Chargers Nick Novak made the game winning 46-yard field goal while going 4-4 on the day. Jay Feely and Sebastian Janikowski also made four field goals for their teams as well.

The Falcon Volleyball team got its second win of the season and its seventh consecutive game against the Youngstown State University Penguins.

BG started out strong winning the first two sets of the match 25-13 and 16-25.

“Erica [Fullenkamp] did a nice

job distributing the ball to our middles,” said coach Tomic. “That is something that we’ve been talk-ing to our setters, especially for the first two sets.”

Tomic credited a large portion of the first set’s success on Kaitlynn Skinner and Kelsey Bates’ high hitting percentages. “That is what we need for them in every match, to really be involved so our offense is harder to defend when our mid-

dles and outside hitters are part of our offense,” she said.

Skinner led the team with a .455 attack percentage.

Bates said the YSU defense struggled against the offensive pressure the Falcons applied in the first two sets. “We were finding the seams and they couldn’t cover it — the defense was struggling a

Penneau was brought in to give students the same ben-efits as the staff.

“We really want our BGSU students to make the most of their college experience,” Clemens said. “To step out-side the box, to take advan-tage of all the opportunity ... BGSU students have a lot of potential and we want to make them exceptional.”

Penneau said he was excit-ed to be asked to speak at the University, as he has history with some of those in the Center for Leadership.

“It’s really an honor to be trusted by an institution that

has a standard for leadership.”After the event, Penneau

said he thought the speech went well.

“I just care about doing everything in my power to make sure the students are engaged,” Penneau said. “Based on feedback and body language, I thought it went really well.”

Clemens said that he wants Penneau to return in the future, next time with an emphasis on freshmen.

“We really think that if our first-year students hear him ... they’re not going to get dis-connected,” said Clemens. “They’re going to be engaged. They’re going to go into that first week of classes with a lot of enthusiasm.”

An opposing view pres-ent at the exhibit were members of the Feminist Organization Raising Consciousness a nd Empowerment.

Senior and president of FORCE, Alexandra Lahey, heard Created Equal was coming to the University so she organized the protest.

“It makes me mad that [Created Equal] manipu-

lates people into thinking the way they think,” she said. “They use a ‘social justice’ way to frame their views when in reality what they are doing is not social justice.”

While the group is for abortion, they do not call themselves pro-choice.

“We want students to get pumped about repro-ductive justice,” Lahey said. “That’s what we real-ly believe in,”

One of the students who stopped to hear both sides was freshman Abby Zerull.

“I talked to the [pro-choice] group and I talk-

ed to the pro-life group because I wanted to see the differing opinions of both,” Zerull said.

Since Zerull talked to both of the groups, she was able to make a clearer opinion for herself and what she believes in.

“I think it’s interesting the boldness that Created Equal has by showing all of these [abortion] pic-tures that aren’t cleaned up,” she said. “They are being truthful about abortion.”

Junior Bill Kennedy protested with FORCE because he said he want-ed to stand up for justice.

Ken nedy bel ieves women should have the right to abortion because if the government tries to control their bodies, soon it will try to control men’s as well.

No matter what side people were on, Created Equal came to the University to help edu-cate people who weren’t sure what to think, Harrington said.

“Our target audience is the folks in the middle, the people that haven’t given it a lot of thought,” Harrington said. “Those are the ones that generally have questions.”

student and the promotion of diversity.

“We can do better. We must do better,” she said. “The challenges we face are not insurmountable. Our future can be very bright.”

Mazey also recognized the accomplishments at the University during the past year. These accomplish-ments range from infra-structure projects, and suc-cess in both the athletic field and academic field.

“We all should be very proud of what we’ve achieved by working togeth-er,” Mazey said. “Now we must move forward together to ensure that student suc-cess is our central focus for BGSU’s future.”

Infrastructure projects included completion of the Falcon Health Center, funded by Wood County Hospital; the Bureau of Criminal Investigation Lab, funded by the state; and the continuing Rec Center reno-vations, all of which were completed without raising student fees, Mazey said.

The Athletic Department saw MAC championships in volleyball and baseball, along with a bowl game appearance for football, Mazey said.

Multiple students and fac-ulty members were praised for their successes, whether they secured fellowships to study in China or to do research in neuroscience.

“One of our goals is to assure greater state, nation-al and international recog-nition for students, faculty and staff,” Mazey said. “Our students are doing some outstanding work with the guidance and support of faculty.”

Julia Grummel, a senior, was one of the students Mazey specifically acknowl-edged during her speech.

Grummel completed two internships with Adobe at the San Jose headquarters. She now works with Adobe part-time.

Grummel came to the address not only because she knew she would be mentioned, but also because she wants to stay informed about updates at the University.

“I’m definitely glad I came,” Grummel said. “It’s really good to know what’s going on in the rest of the University and not just my major.”

Further praise came to those who took part in final-izing the Faculty Association contract and those who secured a perfect reaccredi-tation visit this past spring.

Mazey also announced Simon Morgan-Russell as the new dean of the Honors College, which moved to Founders Hall this year.

She also touted the histor-ic freshmen class, which has the highest-ever grade point average at the University.

Trustee Fran Voll intro-duced Mazey. He expressed his honor to continue work-ing at the University.

“I’ve never seen BGSU so vibrant and energetic as it is today,” he said.

For Mazey, the goal is to “build on our strengths, overcome our weaknesses” by communicating with everyone at the University, especially students, about where the University needs to go from here.

“Change is upon us. We must embrace that change,” she said. “It is important, it is critical, for all of us to sup-port and assist our students and each other in moving forward.”

The BG women’s soccer team lost to the University of Detroit Mercy Tuesday afternoon by a score of 3-0. The winless Falcons now fall to an overall record of 0-5-0. Detroit Mercy advances to 3-4-1 with this win in its home opener.

Detroit Mercy took a 1-0 lead at the end of the first half. They then made two more goals in the second half while BG remained scoreless despite taking three of its four total shots in the second half. The Titans sealed the match when redshirt junior Kylie Briem made an effort to block a Detroit shot and deflected it into the goal.

Detroit had a 21-4 shoot-ing advantage over the Falcons, but BG made eight total saves, all by goalkeeper Lauren Cadel. The Titans recorded no saves.

Head Coach Lindsay

Basalyga acknowledged that implementing a new style of play on this BG team will be a “process” that could allow for some weaknesses, but overall players are making strides in that process.

“Since I’ve gotten here we’ve been trying to imple-ment a new style of play and unfortunately in that style of play we do open ourselves up to get beat defensively, but I think each game we get better on the attacking side of the ball,” Basalyga said. “We just have to continue to be more disciplined on the defensive side of the ball.”

Bowling Green had some new faces on the field for the match. Freshman Melissa Needham made her BG

debut, and redshirt junior Kailey Paszko made a return to the field for the Falcons after battling injuries throughout her career. For BG, Coach Basalyga is look-ing for players who can make big and consistent plays.

“As coaches, we’re going to continue to coach and put players in positions to make plays, but at the end of the day, for us to stay in games or win games, play-ers have to make plays,” said Basalyga.

The Falcons will face Evansv il le at home Sunday, Sept. 22 in their final game before the beginning of MAC play. The match is set to start at 1 p.m. at Cochrane Field.

little bit,” she said. Outside-hitter Lindsey

Butterfield said being at home helped the team win.

“The first two sets we were just glad to be home,” Butterfeild said. “We love playing at home and play-ing for our fans.”

After the 10-minute break period the Falcons looked to be headed for an easy third set, but the Penguins had different ideas.

BG would not have the lead in the third set until they reached their 22nd point.

“I tell our team every time in the 10-minute intermission that when a team is down two sets, they are going to come out fighting for their lives and we have to play even better in that set, and we didn’t,” said Tomic. “So we were fortunate to win especially running out of subs and our defense playing out of our system.”

BG used a lot of players in the third set. Danielle

Tonyan and Laura Avila saw their first action of the night and freshman Madaline Garda saw play-ing time as well.

“We’ve struggled against some tough teams,” Butterfeild said. “And we are still trying to figure out kinks and find who plays well with who, but that’s why we did such a good job recruiting and why our bench is so deep. If we aren’t doing our job or if there is a match-up that coaches see, we are con-fident in who the coaches put out there. We like to see that.”

Tomic said the roster is full of players who are able to play at anytime.

“A lot of players are play-ing better [than the regular starters], we are putting the team that plays best together and into the start-ing line-up,” she said.

Bates said the fans played a factor in the team win.

“You have more confi-dence in yourself and your teammates and it is just more fun,” she said.
