so it’s very nice how these kids volunteer their time on both high school level and col-lege,” Swiecicki said. “That just amazes me.”
Natalie will be graduat-ing from high school and will become a student at the University in the fall. As a Miracle child, she is really looking forward to getting involved with Dance Marathon, Swiecicki said.
Cathy Dibling also has been supporting Mini and Dance Marathon for the past three years with her son Dylan, who also has Common Variable Immune Deficiency, along with autism and epilepsy.
Dibling said it means a lot to Dylan and the other kids when they are sitting in the hospital all the time to have something like video games and puzzles to play with.
Both parents said they have been really amazed at what Dance
Marathon does every year for the Children’s Miracle Network.
“They make us feel welcome and they do a lot to help us, whether it’s in the hospital or here,” Dibling said. “They do an awesome job and [there’s] never a frown on anyone’s face.”
Bowling Green High School stu-dents Taylor Jackson and Shannon Joseph said they have been partici-pating in Mini Dance Marathon for the past three years and have a great time doing the line dances.
For Anthony Wayne High School students Mary Marzec and Haley Hutchinson, this was their first year coming to Mini Dance Marathon. Both said they heard it was fun, so they came out to join.
The Sidney A. Ribeau President’s Leadership Academy also helped support Mini Dance Marathon with their annual $1 foot sales and they joined in the students with different line dances.
“I’m most definitely enjoy-ing myself,” said PLA member Brandi Stallworth. “This is my first year coming to Mini Dance Marathon and it certainly won’t be my last. It’s for the kids.”

In Friday’s article “University responds to faculty union petition,” the subhead stated methods used by the Faculty Association were called into question by the state. The University has called the meth-ods into question to the state.
The search for a new presi-dent will begin this fall. Sebo said the board hopes to name a new president by next spring. Input from students, faculty, staff, administration and the community is welcome.
Cartwright said she will help the new elect get adjusted dur-ing the transition phase.
But just because her time as the No. 1 administrator is winding down, it doesn’t mean Cartwright won’t care about the University’s future. Cartwright said she remains committed to leading the University into a positive direction during her remaining 16 months.
“It’s been a wonderful experi-ence, both the work at BGSU and the opportunity to live in the Bowling Green community,” she said. “It has been a pleasure and a privilege.”

or 8.11 percent. Standard single and double
room rates in other residencies will increase by 2.93 percent and 3.39 percent. It is estimated that the current price of $2,215 for a standard double will increase to $2,280; singles from $2,950 to $3,050.
Cartwright said the University will continue to be priced competi-tively amongst schools in the area.
If other state institutions
increase room and board by 3 percent, the University will con-tinue to be 6th out of the 13 Ohio four-year public colleges in terms of lowest total cost with $16,728 in fiscal year 2011, according to estimates presented to the Board of Trustee’s financial commit-tee. If the other colleges have no increase, the University will move to the 7th spot.
“If you consider the total cost of attendance, we are clearly right at the midpoint,” Cartwright said. “It is still a very strong value for the overall opportunity and experience, in our judgment.”
RATES From Page 1
to 30 minutes if that’s enough,” Hamilton said. “Sometimes you just need to keep repeating that process for hours or days. In the storm two weeks ago, most of the staff worked 36 hours in a row and they were constantly going over the same places.”
The University also uses a drop-spreader to salt sidewalks. This drops the salt straight down.
Employees only use a broad-cast-spreader, which spins and
throws salt, so the salt will not fall on grass. Just as snow and salt do not mix well, grass and salt don’t either.
The University also uses salt for its dining services.
So far this academic year, the University has purchased 14 cases of iodized salt for dining, which is equal to 546 pounds, said Daria Blachowski-Dreyer, the associate director of Dining Services.
The University also purchased 288 pounds of kosher salt and five boxes of 6,000 salt packets, as well as 336 salt shakers.
weeks. “I just got really annoyed
with buying bottled water,” Moeller said.
If customers bring in their travel cups, Starbucks will dole out a 10-cent discount, on- and off-campus. The discount could be responsible for the increase in travel cup sales, said Jason Hines, off-campus Starbucks manager.
“If a customer buys [a mug], chances are they’ll use it here again,” Hines said.
Unlike the off-campus loca-tion, fewer customers take advantage of the discount.
“People come in here twice a day and they don’t bring their cup,” said Manager Karen Piotrowski.
Matuska said Starbucks is too expensive for his taste.
“You go to Starbucks for the atmosphere, not the coffee,” he said.
It’s not for lack of trying. Customers who buy a reusable cup are told about the 10-cent discount, but some continue to use the paper cups.
“There are a few people who religiously bring their cups, though,” Piotrowski said.

THE LEGEND OF BONES MALONE
KEITH PAKIZ | THE BG NEWS
A union is essential for equal representationBy Marc Simon and Guy
ZimmermanGuest Columnists
The word “union” raises strong feelings among faculty and administrators at the University. We would like to explain why we support collective bargaining and why we believe it would be a good thing for the University, not just for the faculty.
First, we confess to holding a belief that democracy is a good thing. While there is evidence that more democratically-run organizations are also more effective, we support democracy regardless. Collective bargaining creates more democracy in the workplace. Faculty elect their representatives, and at least on some issues, the central admin-istration would be obligated to take faculty ideas into account. It always puzzles us that those opposing unions seem to prefer a more dictatorial model of deci-sion making.
It’s essential that faculty mem-bers have a greater voice in University affairs, because fac-ulty are here for the long haul. Top-level administrators come and go; they have a short-term incentive to build their resume and move on to the next job. Sometimes administrators do a great job, other times not.
In our 20 years at the University, we have worked under three presidents, five
provosts and countless deans. Faculty who make their careers here typically stay 30, 35 or more years. The faculty have insti-tutional memory and a huge incentive to protect the long run interests of the University. While the current administra-tors may be doing a good job, the next group (coming soon!) may not. They will need to take faculty input seriously if they are to do a good job, and that won’t happen unless faculty have collective bargaining.
In our experience at the University, shared governance is broken. A key reason is that at the end of the day, faculty know they have no power. On important issues, their advice is not sought out; if offered, it is routinely ignored by presidents and the board of trustees.
To cite an obvious case: despite years of Faculty Senate recom-mendations for salary increas-es, for 12 years faculty pay has ranked 12th among 13 public universities in Ohio, while the University currently charges the 3rd highest in tuition and fees. Despite claims they are ‘a prior-ity,’ faculty salaries consistently get the “if there is anything left after everything else is taken care of,” and “oh, sorry, nothing left this year, maybe next year” bud-get treatment.
This sense of being ignored and absence of power causes many good faculty members
who care about BGSU to refuse to serve on bodies like Faculty Senate, and this weakens the institution as a whole. It pro-motes a culture where professors see themselves as independent consultants. They work on their research and their teaching and that’s it. If they want a pay raise, they go and get a job offer from another university.
Collective bargaining chang-es faculty incentives, and it would change the culture at the University in positive ways. When faculty have real power, there will be greater incentive for all faculty to participate in service. We’ll need to get to know each other better to make sure we elect outstand-ing representatives. We’ll need to work together, both to hold them accountable and provide input that matters. We’ll need to ensure faculty excellence, because when one faculty member is not doing their share, it reflects badly on all of us. This won’t be a union that tolerates incompetence.
By making us more demo-cratic and giving us a real voice in governance, collective bar-gaining makes faculty mem-bers more professional. And as professionals, we’ll need to find solutions to problems that face the University — no more sitting back and blaming everything on the administration. It will be our responsibility too.
With our years of experience, faculty can provide input vital for
building a university that is aca-demically successful. We’ve seen what has failed in the past and will keep our administrative team from going down those paths. We’ll look for win-win solutions. A good example is Kent State’s recent “shared success” agree-ment where faculty received a $2,500 bonus tied to improved freshmen retention and external research support.
We’re certainly not claiming collective bargaining is a pana-cea; it will only be as good as we make it. We think the advantages will far outweigh the disadvan-tages. The only other alternative being offered is the status quo: flat salaries, increased health care costs, “end-around” poli-cies and curious spending pri-orities. By empowering faculty on important issues, collective bargaining will create solutions that serve the long-run interests of the University better than the current top-down model.
Whatever your opinion on col-lective bargaining, the University is a great place for open, civil debate, and we can do ourselves and our students a great service by engaging in this discussion.

A week ago, I attended an Alumni Day celebration at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. There were over 100 of us “oldsters” in attendance, some in clerical garb, others in suits and ties. Together with our friends, we filled the gym for a great meal, good memories, and the awards ceremony that followed.
An award was given to a woman — gasp! — for her work with the mentally challenged (you need to understand that, until recently, the student body was entirely male.) In her acceptance remarks, she noted that many of her cli-ents learned best from her use of physical props. She brought a loaf of Irish soda bread as a visual aid to emphasize her point that many different ingredients go into a complete and edible loaf of bread. A good deal of her comments focused on that loaf of bread as a metaphor for things we experience in life.
Anyone who has ever tackled bread making knows success
requires more than just ingredi-ents. The water can’t be too hot or too cold, the yeast should be fresh, and the ingredients must be combined in the proper sequence. In addition to the cor-rect amount of ingredients with the proper characteristics, a pro-
cess is involved: combining them, letting the dough rise, punching it and kneading it. It’s really quite an undertaking.
So it is with any human orga-nization. Here at the University, we need plumbers and profes-sors, students and secretaries, maintenance workers and men-tors, deans and delivery people. All have to work toward the same set of goals to make this enterprise truly successful. Although there are rankings and compensation differences at the heart of it, all of us are important, each in his or her unique way.
So it’s somewhat disconcerting to see incidents when members of a society — any society — act or permit actions that distract from the community achieving its goals. The police blotter is filled with the actions of adolescents (or those with an adolescent mental-ity) doing things that degrade our ability to succeed as a University or community.
Each transgression of what is, in essence, common sense requires resources to detect, apprehend, report and process the transgressor. These resourc-es, which by definition are scarce and costly, are thus diverted from being used to enhance our com-munity and bring us one step closer to success.
Those who are not acting as good “ingredients” in making the community “loaf” detract from its quality. Whether it be Tiger Woods, the post-award celebra-tion of the Canadian Women’s Olympic Hockey Team, Bernard Madoff, or the person busted for substance abuse last week-end, all have besmirched their respective communities as well as contributed in some way to the lowering of society at large. They delay the completion of that “good” loaf of bread.
But what of “rugged individu-alism”? None of us want to think of ourselves as a mere ingredi-ent — a cup of warm water — in the “loaf” of any community. We are all individuals, right? We should all be able to “do our own thing,” to quote the some-what hackneyed phrase from days gone by. Right?
Well, yes and no. No doubt, humans have free will and intel-ligence. Without it, our coun-try, our society with its many developments, would not exist. Freedom and intelligence are
absolutely vital to our continued success as individuals, a univer-sity, a nation and the human race in general.
But (and there’s that awful word) individualism or freedom run rampant is as bad as individu-alism suppressed. Our many indi-vidual talents and skills need to be used not only to develop and express ourselves; they also need to be employed in the service of others — our community — to aid in the improvement of the “loaf.” The communities we belong to and who give us support have an ethical “mortgage” on our talents and actions, as well as on our pos-sessions. It’s that careful balancing of free will, tempered with intel-ligence and what the military calls “situational awareness,” that pro-duces success.
A cup of warm water and a quantity of yeast and flour will not, by themselves, produce a loaf of bread — nor will the kneading of Silly Putty or mud. It takes the willing (use of free will) use of tal-ents, applied to a plan (produced through intelligence) that results in a good outcome, whether that be a great loaf of bread, a success-ful university, a rational health care system, or Wooster Street free from drunken students retching on a Saturday night.
The Enlighten Project is a group that started from the passion of several University students and faculty. We are attempting to educate the campus as a whole as to how much of our daily lives are devoted to consuming and disposing. We believe wise pur-chases on every level will help sustain our environment, as well as potentially reverse some of the ill effects already taking place.
Everything Enlighten does starts with the people and their responsiveness. If we can change the minds of a few, it won’t be long before the ripple effect takes place, making individual greener consumption habits a global practice.
Throughout the course of the semester, Enlighten will
facilitate several installations, the first of which begins today. We are encouraging every student and faculty mem-ber to participate in gauging and documenting their con-sumption for one week. The average American produces 4.5 pounds of trash per day. If every University student throws away this amount, we create nearly 79,000 pounds of garbage every day.
In order to gain a better visu-al of how much we consume, Enlighten will be carrying around 100 percent biodegrad-able trash bags filled with any-thing we would normally dis-pose of. We are asking you to do the same.
For one full business week, participants are asked to carry these bags with them through-out their day, disposing of all waste produced in their bag. At the end of the week,w we encour-age participants to weigh the trash bag and take a photograph of you and your bag. That photo can be uploaded to Enlighten’s Facebook group entitled the Enlighten Project.
For more information on this installation and those to come, check our blog at enlighten-proj-ect.tumblr.com/ or e-mail Kevin Pence at [email protected].

Flash floodBG overwhelms Kent to win
sixth straight division titleBy Sean Shapiro
Sports Editor
For the sixth straight season, the BG women’s basketball team are division champs.
The streak started in the 2004-05 season when they won the Mid-American Conference West division en route to a NCAA tournament berth and ever since moving to the East divi-sion the Falcons haven’t been knocked off their throne within the division since.
Saturday the Falcons clinched their most recent divi-sion title with a 69-55 senior day win against Kent State.
“I’m really proud of the kids for hanging tough,” BG coach Curt Miller said. “Both teams played hard, played physical, and I think we just made more plays then they did.”
Senior Tamika Nurse led the way for BG, scoring a career high 24 points and earning her first division title on the court after sitting out last season due
to NCAA transfer rules.“It’s amazing, because I’ve
never really won anything,” Nurse said. “I transferred here because I wanted to win cham-pionships, and today I felt what it really means to be a Falcon basketball player.”
While Nurse is in her first sea-son with BG, Sarah Clapper, Laura Bugher and Tara Breske won their 109th career game, earning the distinction of the second top win-ning players in MAC history.
Former BG forward Lyndsey Goldsberry is first with 116 career wins.
The Falcons took control of the game with a 15-0 run early in the first half, turning a 12-12 tie into a 27-12 lead. From that point on, BG’s lead never dropped below double-digits.
A strong defensive effort led the way for the Falcons as they held Kent State to a dismal 35.6 shooting percentage and only

BG swimmers finish seventh at MAC Championships
Olympics about more than just
medals
What a successful two weeks it was for the United States’ Olympic Team.
But for every Shaun White setting records, inventing tricks, and winning medals, there was the U.S. women’s hockey team, untouchable World Champions as they made their way to the games, defeated by a Canadian team with the hopes of a nation on their shoulders.
For some athletes, the Olympic experience is the only medal they get to bring home. Simply being Olympians and compet-ing on the world’s stage was their moment of glory.
For Johnny Weir, Vancouver was his last chance in a lifetime of Olympic disappointments. Once again his script remained unchanged and his golden moment didn’t happen.
Apolo Ohno also came to the games to say goodbye after already seeing the other side. After Torino, with his per-petual publicity, he thought he could never make it back to the short-track, but he needed to. Sometimes dreams do come true, but as badly as he wanted a gold medal, this was not the happy ending he had expect-ed. His Olympics ended with record-breaking medals of a different kind.
Lindsey Jacobellis came to Vancouver for snowboard cross redemption and Lindsey Vonn came to take multiple golds, and neither truly met their goal and have set their eyes on Sochi 2014.
There’s one place we could delude ourselves in believing happy endings are deserved, and it’s the fairy tale world of ice dancing.

ENOCH WU | THE BG NEWSSPLASH: The BG swimming team competes in a meet earlier this season.
By Justin Onslow Reporter
Several Falcon swimmers had strong showings at the Mid-American Conference Championships, which con-cluded Saturday evening in Oxford, Ohio.
The team finished in seventh place with 241 points.
Senior captain Meg Richardson swam the last events of her career in stunning fash-ion as she broke three individual school records and contributed to a new school record in the 800-yard freestyle relay.
Richardson now shares part of all five BG relay records. She was named Second Team MAC.
Richardson felt the team’s hard work and close bond pro-pelled many of her teammates to a strong finish this season.
“We all came together and we were really behind each other the whole year,” Richardson said. “We really focused this
year on working hard and train-ing hard and I think it paid off for a lot of us.”
Six Falcon swimmers post-ed season-best times in their respective events on Saturday, including sophomore Amanda Rom, who finished sixth in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:17:07.
Freshman swimmer Emily Waller posted her season-best time of 17:22:05 and took 16th place in the 1650-yard freestyle.
Sophomore Megan Bomicino also recorded her season-best time in the 1650-yard freestyle with a time of 17:27:82.
Bomicino was pleased with
how hard her teammates fought. “Our team was tough and
fought every race until the time they touched the wall,” Bomicino said. “We all had so much fun and swam well. It was a great way to end a won-derful season.”
Assistant coach Mark Howard thought the team made a strong push toward being a dominant force in the MAC in the near future.

Men’s basketball falters in Senior Day loss
By Paul BarneyAssistant Sports Editor
Any hope the BG men’s bas-ketball team had of hosting a first round home game in the Mid-American Conference Tournament were put to rest on Saturday as the Falcons lost to visiting Akron, 74-68, on Senior Day.
The loss dropped the Falcons to 14-14 overall and 6-9 in the MAC, putting them in a position to close out the regular season as the No. 9 or No. 10 seed with one game remaining — forcing BG to be on the road for the first round of the MAC Tournament on Sunday at either Ball State, Central Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Miami or Western Michigan.
On the contrary, Akron
improves to 22-8 overall and 12-3 in the MAC, setting up a Friday ESPN 2 telecast with Kent State to determine this year’s MAC Champion and No. 1 seed for the MAC Tournament.
Before they could get to Kent State, however, they had to get past BG, who just three days prior gave Kent State all they could handle in a six-point Falcons defeat.

Wildcats sweep FalconsNo. 16 Kentucky easily takes series in baseball
By Ryan SatkowiakReporter
The BG baseball team con-tinued their early season tour through Kentucky this past weekend, taking on the No. 16 Kentucky Wildcats.
The Falcons did not fare much better than they did last weekend, when they were swept by Louisville, as they dropped the first two games of this series in tough fashion, 6-4 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday, before Kentucky completed the sweep 10-4 Sunday afternoon.
The Falcons’ offense had trouble with Kentucky’s starters in the first two games of this series, as their starters on Friday and Saturday—Alex Meyer and Taylor Rodgers—combined to throw 11.2 innings, giving up four runs—three earned—on 13 hits and three walks, while striking out nine.
Brennan Smith got the start Friday, and had very little suc-cess for his second straight start, as he was unable to make it out of the fourth inning, giving up five runs in 3.2 innings pitched.
Ross Gerdeman relieved him and pitched 4.1 strong innings, giving up an unearned run.
The Falcons were unable to get an offensive outburst, as they put up individual runs in four innings.
First baseman Dennis Vaughn continued his strong start to the season, picking up two RBIs in the game, and T.J. Blanton hit his first homer of the year, a solo shot in the third inning. He fin-ished the game going 2-3 with an RBI and two runs scored.
The Falcons got a run in the
ninth to cut the lead to two, but Matt Little, who pitched the last 3.1 innings for Kentucky, was able to get out of the inning without any more damage.
Things started off great for the Falcons Saturday, as they struck in the first inning on Tyler Elkins’ RBI groundout, after the first two batter of the inning reached.
However Kentucky put together a four-run rally in the second off of starter Michael Frank.
After getting the first two bat-ters out, Frank hit a batter and he allowed a double to Lance Ray, in which the runner scored and Ray moved to third on an error by outfielder Mark Galvin.
Frank then allowed an RBI single, walked a batter and gave up a two-run double.
However, Frank was able to settle down after that, not allowing a run in his last four innings of work.
With two outs in the ninth, the Falcons mounted a rally that nearly tied the game.
Trailing 4-1, Matthew Pitzulo drew a walk, and Blanton sin-gled to put runners on first and second. Jon Berti then singled to load the bases for Logan Meisler, who singled to cut the lead to two.
With the bases still loaded, Vaughn drew an RBI walk, scor-ing Blanton. However, Elkins grounded out to second to end the game.
Berti paced the Falcons offensively, going 3-5 with a run scored. Vaughn’s RBI was his fifth in five games.
On Sunday, the Falcons once again put the first runs on the

board, as they scored a run in the first inning and three in the second.
With the bases loaded and one out in the second, Berti sin-gled to score Blanton and Clay Duncan. Meisler then followed with an RBI single.
In the bottom of the second, bad defense negated the three runs the Falcons had just put up, as Kentucky countered with three of their own.
With a runner on first and one out, a throwing error by Meisler allowed the runner to
reach. After starter Kevin Leady got a pop out, he allowed a dou-ble that scored a run, and then Galvin committed a fielding error, which allowed two more runs to score.
All three runs were unearned.Despite leading 4-3, the
Falcons conceded seven straight runs, including a four-run eighth sixth inning giving them a lead they would never surrender.

allowed their opponent to go to the foul line nine times.
The dominant effort on both sides of the court allowed Miller to get extended playing
time for all four seniors, as each got a standing ovation from the crowd as they left the court late in the second half.
BG finished the season unde-feated at home and now with a win against Miami on Tuesday, they could clinch the MAC reg-ular season title outright.

Tanith Belbin and Ben Augusto have always done what the games have asked: smiled, behaved and worked hard. They virtually changed the face of the sport. Just when the moment was supposed to be theirs in Torino, it wasn’t. And now four years later it wasn’t again.
But the most heartwretch-ing moment of the Olympics came last night when the U.S. men’s hockey team lost to Canada, a goldless 30-year
streak still continues. How could their “miracle” not
come true, with all of North America watching?
Amid the record medal rush of American success these were some moments that didn’t happen. They exist in the blind spot of the joyous games we got to watch.
Though the games didn’t turn out how I thought they would, our record medal count makes me look forward to London 2012. They’re more than two years away, but the moments that slipped away this winter spark a fire for future Olympic competition.

direction,” Howard said. “They’re very determined, goal-oriented and extremely hard working.”
With only one senior on this year’s team, BG will be returning a lot of expe-rienced sw immers next season.
Howard has high expecta-tions for next year’s team.
“This conference has become decidedly faster in the past few years, and we as coaches have set our sights on even harder work and more quality
time spent with the athletes to reach an even higher level than we have achieved in the past,” Howard said.
S ophomore S a r a h Reinink will be returning next year as an experienced leader of a BG swimming team with a desire to con-tinue improving.
“It is apparent that hard work pays off and that if we continue what we are doing, good things will come in the next couple years,” Reinink said. “I am very proud of how much work we put in and how everyone swam this weekend.”

ENOCH WU | THE BG NEWSTWIST: Kasey Fillmore competes on the uneven bars in a meet earlier this season.
By C.J. WatsonReporter
The BG gymnastics five-meet win streak came to an end in Kalamazoo on Sunday afternoon.
The Falcons finished third in a tri-meet featuring Mid-American Conference foe Western Michigan and the University of Illinois-Chicago.
Western Michigan won the home meet with a score of 193.925. The Flames of Illinois-Chicago took second place with 191.150 points, and BG finished in third with a score of 190.675.
The Falcons started out the meet slow on the beam and floor but ended strongly on the vault and uneven parallel bars.
The beam and the floor event were the low points of the day for BG. Megan Chronister was the only Falcon to finish within the top five for the bal-ance beam. Danielle Wishart’s 9.725 was tied for seventh best on the floor exercise and was BG’s highest score in the event. The floor was marred by a season ending injury suffered
by Queenita Gamble as she took a spill, rupturing her Achilles tendon.
The vault was the Falcons highest scoring event of the afternoon. Freshmen Danielle Wishart and Sunny Marchand finished first and second in the event scoring 9.800 and 9.725, respectively.
“Sunny Marchand did a great job on vault and bars,” explained coach Kerrie Beach.
“She was very consistent for us.”Monica Eaton put in her
dues on the bars as she tied for first with a solid 9.850 — her highest scoring total of the season. Also, Breanne Guy did especially well in the event scoring a 9.800, giving her a tie for third place.
“While it certainly wasn’t a perfect meet, it does show their character that they didn’t give up and they kept moving along,” said Beach.
The Falcons will try to regroup and get back to their winning ways this week as the team prepares to travel to Morgantown for a Saturday afternoon matchup with the Mountaineers of West Virginia.

State, their senior night, and BG came out flat, giving up three goals in the first period in an eventual 5-2 loss.
“I’m very disappointed with our team effort. I don’t think we came out with a lot of jump,” said interim head coach Dennis Williams. “We came out hard in the second, but to spot a team like Michigan three goals, that’s going to be hard to come back from.”
Nick Eno got the start for the Falcons and was pulled 18 min-utes into the game after giving up three goals on 13 shots.
The Falcons got on the board 2:58 into the second period, on Josh Boyd’s sixth goal of the year. However, BG could not tally another in the period, and the Spartans were able to get two more against Andrew Hammond, who came in for Eno.
In the third, Marc Rodriguez got his third goal of the year, deflecting Reed Rushing’s point shot past Spartan goalie Drew Palmisano.
Saturday was a much bet-ter day for the Falcons, as they were able to pull a shootout win on senior night, in front of a crowd of 3,027, the largest at the BGSU Ice Arena this year.
Prior to the game, the team’s eight seniors were honored, as was former Falcon and 1980 United States Olympian Ken Morrow, who dropped the cer-emonial first puck.
The Spartans struck first again, as Andrew Rowe deflect-ed a point shot past Hammond eight minutes into the game.
Kyle Page nearly tied the game with two minutes remaining in the first, but his shot rang off the right post.
BG tied the game 3:42 into the second period, as David Solway beat Palmisano from the slot on the power play. The goal started an upswing in momentum for the Falcons, as they out shot Michigan 16-10 in the period, despite getting only one goal.
BG took the lead early in the third period, when Jordan Samuels-Thomas received a pass to the left of Palmisano, decked him as he made an aggressive play for the puck, and tapped it
into the empty net.The score remained steady
until five minutes left in the game, when Hammond made a save on a point shot, lost the puck in a crowd of bodies in front of the net and Spartan forward Chris Forfar knocked it in.
“It was right against my pad, and their guy was right on top of me so I couldn’t really freeze it,” Hammond said. “Then he kind of kicked it to the other guy, and I couldn’t really move.”
Despite the goal, Hammond played well in the game, stop-ping 34 of 36 shots, and he was at his best down the stretch, making several great saves in the last five minutes of the third and in overtime.
“I thought that Andrew held his own for five periods of hock-ey this weekend,” Williams said.
“He’s a kid that, if you just focus on him and not the score, you would never know what the score is because he’s always so calm in net; I thought he did a very nice job and was the rea-son we were able to stay in the game.”
For the second time in their last two series, the Falcons headed to a shootout.
David Solway appeared to give the Falcons a 1-0 after the first round, but the goal was disallowed, as the referee deter-mined that Solway had stopped forward motion on his shot attempt.
Hammond did not have to hold strong in the last two rounds, as both Spartans’ shooters missed the net. After a James Perkin miss, Petruska beat Palmisano five-hold to seal the win on senior night.
“I think it’s special [to win for the seniors],” Hammond said.
“They’ve been here for four years, they’ve been through the ups and downs of the program, and to get that for them on their last night, it’s special.
“You can tell in the room right now, it means a lot to them and it should.”
After both teams had left the ice, the seniors came back out for one final salute to the home fans.
As the 11th seed in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs, the Falcons will head to Nebraska next weekend for a best-of-three series with sixth seed Nebraska-Omaha.
HOCKEYFrom Page 5
After a dunk from senior Otis Polk put BG up 12-7 under five minutes into the game, Akron built a 15-2 run over the next seven minutes to take a 22-14 lead, a lead in which the Zips would never relinquish as they led by 13 at the break.
Rebounding cost the Falcons in the first half, as Akron held a 22-9 advantage on the glass, including 12 offensive boards to outscore BG 17-4 on second chance points.
“We didn’t defend and rebound in the first half,” senior Erik Marschall said. “We knew it was going to be a war on the defensive rebounds. In the first half they beat us and that’s the story of the ballgame.”
Much like in the loss to the Golden Flashes, BG made a strong bid in the second half as they turned a 13-point halftime deficit into a five-point deficit with 7:50 left in the game.
With 0:48 remaining in the game BG trailed by only four, but the Falcons were forced to foul and Akron sealed the game by going 4-for-4 at the
free-throw line down the stretch.The Falcons shot 56 percent in
the second half while limiting the Zips to three offensive rebounds and one second chance point, but Brett McKnight’s 11 of his team-high 15 points in the game’s final 20 minutes paid dividends for Akron in getting the win.
“We had a battle on our hands [and] I thought Bowling Green competed really hard,” Akron coach Keith Dambrot said. “I thought Brett did a really good job at crunch time of really car-rying us.”
McKnight led the Zips with 15 points on 6-of-10 from the floor and Jimmy Conyers followed with 12.
For the Falcons, four different players scored in double figures including Polk, who scored 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in the second half to finish with a game-high 17 points.
Also leading the way for BG was Scott Thomas, Marschall and Dee Brown, who finished with 16, 10 and 12 points, respectively.
Saturday’s game marked the last regular season home game in the careers of seniors Matt Karaffa, Marc Larson, Marschall and Polk.
“I tip my hat to our seniors,” BG coach Louis Orr said. “They’ve been with me for three years. They helped us win a MAC Championship and they helped us do some good things during those three years.”
The Falcons will now have the next few days off before closing out the regular season at Ohio on Thursday.

optimistic about scoring points. In reality you focus on getting the best efforts you can out of each person, and the scoring will come if not this meet, in future MAC meets.”
Wells said the hardest part of the entire weekend was having athletes record career bests but still finish out of the scoring.
For instance, freshman
Tatijana Jacobson recorded a career-best mark of 1.64 meters in the high jump and placed ninth, and junior Autumn Dettmann finished 10th in the one-mile run with a season-best of 5:05.93, fin-ishing outside of scoring by a total of just three places.
The team basically per-formed to its potential, but really the result is what matters.
And so the team will use this meet as motivation in the future.
Wells said she was proud of
the team’s effort but can’t be proud of the result.
“There were some areas I felt we didn’t reach our potential and several where I felt the athletes really rose to the competition and had great efforts,” she said.
“The team learned a lot this weekend and they have to build on that for the future. There is no time to feel down; there is work to be done.”
The Falcons will compete next at the Adidas Raleigh Relays in Raleigh, N.C., on March 25-26.
