You really don’t want to just do all that work and leave it at Big Lens,” DelVecchio said. “They’ll be applying to multi- ple festivals and will be trying to see what happens.

WSU film students showcase their creative work at the Big Lens Festival
After months of work creating films, several
Wright State film students were given the opportunity to show their films to a packed house at the Big Lens Festival, hosted by the WSU Motion Pictures program.

Wright State Univer-sity’s Raj Soin Col-
lege of Business has officially opened the doors to its new Data Analytics and Visual-ization Environment (DAVE) Lab, designed to give WSU students and faculty a leg up on one of the world’s fastest growing fields of research.
The field of data analyt-ics is ever growing in cor-relation with the increasing amounts of data that tech-nology yields. Ninety percent of the world’s data has been created in the last few years, according to IBM.
Professor and Chair of In-formation Systems and Op-eration Management Dr. Shu Schiller suggests that it’s imperative for students to be taught analytics skills to compete in today’s interdis-ciplinary job market, regard-less of major.
“Every single modern or-ganization today has lots of technology, has lots of ap-plications. Now, how can we teach the students, train the students in the right way, to use a little more of a busi-ness mindset and have a few more analytical skills?” Schil-ler said. “We don’t expect our students to be Computer Science Ph.D’s, but we do ex-pect them to work alongside them.”
The College of Business created the DAVE Lab to give
As many students pre-pare for their midterm
exams, the end of the semes-ter dwells in the near future. With this sudden realization comes a feeling of relief, it also brings with it the ac-knowledgement of what is to come, such as the infamous spam emails from fraudulent sources posing as Honor So-cieties.
These spam emails are sent throughout the student body indiscriminately and are usu-ally accompanied with a web-site with a nice, slick design. These flashy webpages are designed to give a false sense of credibility in order to coax mislead college students into giving them money.
It is unknown how these spam groups are able to get ahold of student email ad-dresses, but an interesting theory was proposed by Ryce Powell, who works at Com-puting and Telecommuni-
Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine present-
ed WSU police officer Kurt Holden with the Mark Losey Distinguished Law Enforce-ment Service Award at the annual Ohio Attorney Gen-eral’s Law Enforcement Con-ference on Oct. 9 in obser-vance of Holden’s dedication to the community.
The Mark Losey Distin-guished Law Enforcement Service Award commemo-rates individuals who have contributed to law enforce-ment and the communities that they serve. Holden was honored primarily for his work with Wright State’s In-dependent Scholars Network (ISN), a program that assists emancipated foster youth integrate into university life outside of the foster care sys-tem.

students and faculty the abil-ity to foster these skills in-side the classroom.
Construction on the DAVE Lab started this past sum-mer and concluded in early September. The 1,000 square foot space, used for both teaching and research pur-poses, features a three-by-four matrix video system wall and two server racks capable of storing 100 tera-bytes of information.
The room’s furnishings are also designed to provide a collaborative, hands-on en-vironment for students, fac-ulty and business partners. Among the capabilities that the Dave Lab exhibits are data mining, data visualiza-tion and predictability mod-eling.
The space will not only lend the university oppor-tunities in research, but it will also be used as class-room space for new analytics courses, which the College of Business is heavily encour-aging all Wright State stu-dents to take. These courses include Business Analytics (MIS 4300) and Introduction to Data Science (MIS 4800).
“Having analytics on your resume will get you much more attention than those who don’t, so I’m hoping that our resources will be able to give our students the skills to put that on their resume,” Schiller said.
cations Services (CaTS), on how these groups are able to get student information and in turn send them a high vol-ume of emails.
According to Powell, an Algorithm could be created to find combinations of stu-dents’ names and numbers using a set naming scheme specific to Wright States email set up. This process is cheap and extremely effec-tive to use.
“Criteria for selection to the honorary should be based on clear academic achievement. It is unlikely that a qualified student would just receive an unsolicited email that asked the student to click on a link and pay a fee to join,” Director of the University’s Honors program Susan Car-rafiello said.
With many of these honor scams popping up, it’s impor-tant for students to be able to distinguish what a real invite looks like to a prestigious Honor’s institution and what is just a scam.
means. Every child in care I look at as my brother and sister,” Holden said. “When I was moved from one home to the next, we had to depend on each other. If it was not for my foster brothers and sis-ters, I may not be here telling my story, or I could be telling a completely different story.”
While he puts in his share of work on-duty, much of Holden’s community service also happens off the clock. His off-duty work was also noted when he was present-ed the award.
Wright State Chief of Police David Finnie believes that Holden was worthy of the recognition. “Officer Holden goes above and beyond his scope of responsibilities in the police department,” Fin-nie said.
The Mark Losey award isn’t the first under Holden’s belt during his seven years at Wright State. The 2014 Diversity Advocate Award,
According to the Associa-tion of College Honor Societ-ies, if a program’s site has the following three indicators then it is most likely a fake:
1. Vague eligibility standards, most Honors’ in-stitutions require a high GPA with a 3.2 or lower not being permissible in most cases
2. An online applica-tion, certified honor societ-ies issue invitations to all qualified candidates from institutional chapters.
3. The Chief Executive Officer’s contact information missing
“One great resource that students can use is the Asso-ciation of College Honors So-cieties [www.achsnatl.org]. It lists many of the legitimate groups,” Carrafiello said. “Please note, however, that some of the oldest and most prestigious societies are not members of ACHS—includ-ing Wright State’s most pres-tigious honorary, The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi.”
presented by WSU’s depart-ment of Multicultural Affairs and Community Engage-ment (MACE), The 2014 President’s Award for Excel-lence in Leadership and the Knights of Columbus’ 2014 Blue Coat Officer of the Year award are just a few of Hold-en’s accomplishments.
Holden has also received several commendations from Finnie, letters from the com-munity and recognition from other agencies for his work.
Holden credits his wife, children and the work of the entire Wright State Police Department for his accom-plishments.
“It is nice to be recognized for your work, but at the end of the day, I work with many officers who are just as de-serving of this recognition,” Holden said. “Each day, We all have a common goal, and that is to provide the highest level of service to our cam-pus community.”

possible and Rapid Fired Piz-za fits the bill with everything made to order and cooked in only three minutes.
What sets this store apart from any other is not only the fast service, but also the menu, which includes op-tions of over 35 toppings and 12 cheeses. When ordering, one can find the usual chees-es and toppings like mozza-rella, pepperoni and olives listed right alongside goat cheese, meatballs, artichoke and tofu. There’s even a glu-ten-free crust option.
“The coolest thing is that you can walk in, custom de-sign your pizza and get it in under three minutes,” said co-founder Ray Wiley.
Wiley said that amidst their menu of items like the “Smokin’ Ghost” and “Magic Mushroom” is their most
popular dish by far: the “Triple Bypass Pizza,” a dish loaded with sausage, pep-peroni, bacon, olives and ja-lapeños.
Rapid Fired Pizza hasn’t been in business long, but the concept of craft pizzas, salads and beers that can be served in less time than it takes to get a coffee has clear-ly taken off. Even the price is just as low as the cook time: neither their pizzas nor their low-calorie salads are more than 10 dollars, making it a reasonable stop for the aver-age college student.
Wiley has intentions of carving out a place in the market, which is already sat-urated with both chains and singular pizza stops, for his brand new store. As a Dayton resident who holds 30 years of restaurant experience with chains like Skyline Chili, Subway and Hot Head Burri-tos, Wiley has confidence in where the brand will be go-ing in the future.
“In a year, we plan to have 100 stores in development,” Wiley said. “We’ll be a na-tional brand.”

If you’re looking to get spooked down a haunted
trail without leaving campus, the Residential Community Association (RCA) has you covered with Nightmare on Springwood Lane, a campus haunted trail on Thursday, Oct. 22 from 7-10 p.m.
Nightmare on Springwood Lane will begin in the Woods residential community and lead students through a wooded path. Admission for students is two canned goods and a third canned good for free Hot Chocolate. Canned goods will be donated to the Friendship Food Pantry on campus.
Students have gone to Nightmare on Springwood Lane for the past seven years, but for Chelsey Handy, junior accounting and finance ma-jor and director of internal affairs for RCA, this year is her first for planning the fes-

tivities.“Every year the trail chang-
es: we have new scarers, new themes and new ideas,” Handy said. “The general theme of the trail stays the same: Halloween in your own backyard.”
Though it’s her first time organizing the Nightmare on Springwood Lane, Handy has participated in the past as a student.
“In the past few years there has been a steady increase in students attending,” Handy said. “I remember last year I had to wait in line for almost an hour before I got to go through the trail.”
It was started by Josh Fos-ter, a former community di-rector for RCA, so students without cars can still enjoy Halloween.
“It stemmed from a passion for all things Halloween and he wanted to bring that to the students who live on campus in a safe and fun way,” Handy
said. “We want our students to have a safe, fun, free way to celebrate Halloween. Since the trail is on campus, stu-dents don’t have to worry about driving, as they would with other haunted houses.”
Handy’s favorite part of Nightmare on Springwood Lane is watching the stu-dents go through the trail.
“My favorite part of the event is seeing the student’s reactions to the event,” Handy said. “Whether they’re scared by every noise on the trail or they’re there for the adrenaline rush, it always makes for an amusing reac-tion.”
the business, Wiley’s assur-ance is not unfounded.
Though they don’t deliver, Rapid Fired Pizza’s new-est store will be located just across the street from WSU and the founders plan to have
multiple locations within and around the Dayton area opening soon.
Rapid Fired Pizza’s first place of business is on 1008 Miamisburg-Centerville Road.

Mark Zuckerberg an-nounced in Septem-
ber that Facebook will soon include six emoji reactions when users post a status. The emoji reactions will in-clude empathetic faces to show emotions from likes to dislikes. Despite rumors cir-culating that a dislike button feature would be included, this will substitute that fea-ture instead.
According to Techcrunch.com, this feature will be tested in two markets inter-nationally, Spain and Ireland. This will show the company whether the feature will progress or not. Adam Mos-seri, Facebook’s director of products says these two countries were chosen be-cause of the large national user bases that do not have extensive international friend networks. Because of this, these two countries are the best test subjects accord-

ing to Mosseri.“I think it will be interest-
ing to express yourself with this feature and for me, I love using emojis to express my emotions,” Lauren Hersh-berger, a nursing major, said. “A lot of people use emoji when texting so this will be a fun feature for users.”
While this feature may be fun for the test subjects abroad, there are some is-sues for those using mobile devices. With the ability for users to now use stickers as a reaction, it is also time-con-suming for users to find the right sticker reaction. This feature will make it easier for users to express their emo-tions according to Mosseri.
There is no word of when and if this feature will appear in other countries includ-ing the United States, but for now it is being tested to see if this will become a popular trend and it is used for page admins and publishers to collect data to monitor activ-ity of Facebook users.

Students are taking the parking issue into their

Wright State students point out the concern that their grades hang in the balance in regards to attendance.

An online petition [go to: goo.gl/2zHi6R] was adver-tised on students’ cars this past week; one which stu-dents, parents and alumni alike have signed. Student Michael Granai started the petition two weeks ago and has already garnered sup-port of over 1,000 signatures. Some of the demands listed on the petition site include:
1. Offer students a re-fund on their parking pass
2. Move some daytime classes to the evenings to al-leviate parking
3. Open faculty and staff-only parking lots to stu-
dents4. Sell a finite number
of passes on a first-come, first-serve basis
5. Expand parking“I think that coming to-
gether in solidarity over this device and letting the cam-pus know that it’s not right the way we are being treat-ed,” Hamilton said. “More and more it feels like we are just a number on an Excel spreadsheet and not an ac-tual student.”

Our story starts with a group of astronauts having to scrap their Mars mission, after a martian windstorm threatens their safety. The storm presumably kills Mark Watney (Matt Damon), leav-ing the crew to grieve as they leave their comrade behind.
Of course, he’s still alive and we spend the next two hours worried about how he survives Mars and not if—a different type of conflict not always represented in films but is done masterfully in “The Martian.”
The film is filled with tre-mendous actors, accurate depictions of space and pre-sumably real-life struggles at what it would be like to be the only person on a planet.
This movie is also very pre-dictable in that we know who the semi-antagonist is, that Watney is going to live and that bad things will happen when we expect them to be-cause: space.
COLUMN: (Spoilers!)Review of “The Martian”
Director Ridley Scott does a great job at dumbing-down the science in a way that 2014’s “Insterstellar” never really could, making it easier for the audience to watch without having to wrap their heads around space travel and the like.
Jeff Daniels, Sean Bean and Chiwetel Ejiofor are great as individuals, but are even bet-ter when they share screen time.
It’s Damon though, who re-ally sells this film. Imagine being marooned on a barren planet with no way to com-municate to anyone you’re alive and where if one thing goes wrong, you’re dead. Now imagine you’re a genius botanist/astronaut where not even your wit can save you from space.
All of that seems pretty hopeless and taxing—and that’s where Damon nails his performance. Even though the outcome is predictable, watching Damon’s charac-ter struggle to maintain op-timism (and sanity) in the most hopeless of situations is really all the conflict you need.
Dancing isn’t just a hobby for Elizabeth
Ramsey. It’s her past, her fu-ture and her career.
“My mom told me that as soon as I wore under-wear and stopped wearing diapers, I could take dance classes,” Ramsey said. “I’ve been dancing for as long as I can remember.”
Through childhood and ad-olesence, Ramsey found her-self branching out into con-temporary and lyrical styles of dance, until at last dance led Ramsey to Wright State, giving her the four years she needed to grow up and get serious about her craft. Sur-ounding herself with serious dancers, artists and past pro-fessionals helped her under-stand herself as an artist, as well as a person.
“I’m a very internal per-son,” Ramsey said. “I like to explore my mind a lot and ask a lot of questions.”
Ramsey’s inquisitive na-ture is part of her character as a dancer. “Once you’re on stage, nobody can tell you what to do. You let go and

any emotion can come out. It’s such an exposing expe-rience and itsn’t something that can be faked.”
Moving to Europe and join-ing a dance company is one of Ramsey’s dreams, as much of her inspiration originates from across the Atlantic.
“I am very inspired by cer-tain choreographers, many of them from overseas. My style when I set work is very scien-tific. I really like the feeling of the movement, creating lines, making pictures and the process of creating move-ment based on researching your body,” Ramsey said.
Dancing took the back-burner last spring as Ramsey underwent surgery to clean scar tissue from a joint in her ankle. With a quick re-covery promised by the sur-geon, Ramsey was confident she would be dancing again soon. The reality left her dis-appointed.
“When I got out of the [medical] boot, I couldn’t do anything,” Ramsey said. “I couldn’t point it, couldn’t circle it, couldn’t do anything. I am still recovering from that.”
Knowing her limitations due to her injury involves
limiting how often she jumps and the amount of time she spends dancing in general.
“It’s been an emotional roller coaster, but I have learned so much from it,” Ramsey said. “I’ve learned how to take care of my body, how to warm up properly, how to dance safely and that I can still live without dance and be happy.”
For the meantime, howev-er, Ramsey is working hard to make a comeback after a long summer off her feet. Some-times that involves shedding the shoes and dancing bare-foot.
“I like the ruggedness of it,” Ramsey explained. “Some-times you lose skin on the floor and you feel like you’re really dancing with nature. There’s no barrier between you and the floor.”
Those interested in view-ing Wright State dance per-formances can attend the December Studio Dance Performance on Dec. 11-12, or the Emerging Choreogra-phers Dance Concert in Fe-burary of next year. For more information, visit the Col-lege of Liberal Art’s Theatre, Dance, and Motion Pictures website.
Ramsey’s love of dancing started from a young age, translating into a successful career in Wright State’s dance department.
“We always go to California to go to the Redwood Forest. When I first got there, I was twelve and the trees were huge. When I realized how big nature is, with the
leaves changing colors, I knew it was my favorite place.”
“I liked pumpkin carving when I was a kid, especially stabbing the pumpkins. It was fun, I used to carve scary faces I
found on the internet.”
“The first time I ever shot a gun was when I went out to my uncle’s farm in the fall. My dad got out his old rifle and we shot
it. It felt exhilarating. I was a little kid then, so that big bang was awesome. ”
“I love how all of the leaves change colors. I’m color blind, so all green looks the same to me. The green on these trees all looks the same,
but when they turn orange, I can see it like a normal person.”

The Wright State wom-en’s soccer team hon-
ored eight seniors during senior day at Alumni Field on Saturday, Oct. 17 as they dominated Youngstown State 3-0.
“It was a special day so it felt really really good,” senior goal keeper Halle Pyle said. “Especially to score more than one goal and get the shutout.”
After falling behind early in their previous two games, the Raiders found the goal early and often in the first half with a 3-0 lead.
Sophomore mid-fielder Bryce Hueber got things started with a goal just 22 minutes into the game after an assist by senior mid-field-er Ashley Gogolin. Ten min-utes later Hueber found the goal again off of the crossbar after an assist by freshman Aaliyah Patten. The goal marked her fourth of the

season which now leads the team.
“She’s dangerous,” head coach Pat Ferguson said. “Not only scoring goals but creating chances. She had a really good chance to hit a third one but it hit off the pole.”
WSU continued to find suc-cess in the first half as sopho-more forward Savannah Car-mosino scored her first goal of the season off of a corner kick.
The three first half goals to-taled the number for the pre-vious eight games for WSU as they have struggled offen-sively in conference play.
Pyle collected three saves in the game to give her 48 on the season and 128 for her career at WSU. Senior forward Natalie Sedlock is ranked second on the team with three goals this sea-son with nine for her career. Senior mid-fielder Kalee Thompson has not scored this season but has scored six goals and seven assists in her
time at WSU.“This is an unbelievable
class,” Ferguson said. “The soccer, they’re good players and everything but I think they’re fantastic people and have done a lot for the pro-gram.”
The Raiders (5-7-1) will host Cleveland State on Wednesday, Oct. 21 at Alum-ni Field for their final home game of the season. The game will begin at 7 p.m.
Volleyball falls on Senior Day, lost nine consecutive sets
The Raiders battled until the end in a match con-
sisting of 32 ties and 11 lead changes but could not finish their sets to get a victory over Oakland on Saturday, Oct. 17.
“You can see that we’re right there with the competi-tive teams at the top we just have to get more consistent,” head coach Susan Clements said.
WSU found themselves down 12-4 early in the first set but battled back to tie the score at 17. Oakland would go on an 8-5 run to close out the set and gain a 1-0 advan-tage.
The second set was a nail biter consisting of 19 ties and seven lead changes. The Raiders had four opportuni-ties to close out the set but could not post back to back points to get the win.
“That second set was tough,” Clements said. “That would have been a big mo-ment for this group.”
After the break, WSU trailed two sets to none which has become a trend in their Horizon League match-ups. The set consisted of nine
ties and four lead changes but Oakland edged out a vic-tory to close out the match in three sets.
“It’s tough,” senior blocker Marissa Aiello said. “It’s hard losing those tough matches but we’re really right there. I think the second round of conference will be a lot dif-ferent than this first round.”
The Raiders honored their two seniors Katie Glass-meyer and Aiello before the match with a brunch.
Glassmeyer has 138 digs for an average of 2.09 per set this season and a career total of 1,119.
Aiello has collected 190 kills on the season with 58 blocks and 237 points. In her career she has 718 kills, 257 blocks and 929 points.
“My time here at Wright State was awesome,” Aiel-lo said. “I can’t even put it into words. We’ve definitely made a lot of changes culture and performance wise and I see it growing.”
Volleyball will be back in action at Valparaiso (17-4) on Friday, Oct. 23 for a Hori-zon League matchup against the Crusaders. The match will begin at 8 p.m.
After a three-game stretch that saw Wright
State lose two games and tie with Green Bay in a scoreless match, the Raiders are back streaking, winning their last two matches.
The Raiders (8-3-1, 3-2-1) won the match on the lone goal of freshman and Hori-zon League’s Player of the Week Jackson Dietrich. The goal came in the first half at the 36th minute and was Dietrich’s third goal of the season. With six assists on the season, that ties him with forward Peguy Ngatcha for the team lead in points.
Austin Polster was credited with the assist on Dietrich’s goal.
“Tonight was a huge team road win for us,” said coach Bryan Davis, according to
Wright State’s men’s soccer team looks to be back on track
WSURaiders.com. “Milwau-kee is a really good team and really well coached. Kris (Kelderman), in my opinion, is one of the best coaches in college soccer and his young group gave us all we could handle.”
Milwaukee certainly did, as they outshot the Raiders 16-9, 11 of which came in the second half. Goalkeeper Tyler Blackmer notched his sixth shutout of the season, good for second place in the conference.
“Our guys tonight met the challenge and we came away with a very important conference win,” Davis said. “We will enjoy it for the ride home and tomorrow we start preparing for another tough test at Belmont.”
The Raiders travel to Bel-mont Oct. 21 for their next road game before coming home for three-game home stand. Wright State is cur-rently third in the Horizon League standings.
This multi-joint multi-muscle exercise is possibly the best free-weight exer-cise of all time. The deadlift works the entire body so you get more bang for your buck in the gym. This move also strengthens the lower back, reducing the risk of injury when you bend over to pick something up.
Do: 5 sets of 5 repetitions. How to: 1. Stand with feet hip
width apart with shoe laces under the bar.
2. Bend knees, grab the bar hands shoulder width apart, arms straight.
3. Lift your chest. Straight spine.
4. Pull.5. Lower the weight in a
controlled manner. 6. DO NOT DROP or
THROW THE WEIGHT. You are not in a strong man com-petition! By lowering down in a controlled manner you are strengthening your mus-cles in a dynamically differ-ent way.
Tips: Keep the core tight. This
will help protect the lower back.
Lift chin and find a focal point, maybe a spot on the wall.
Drive through the heels.
COLUMN: Doing the Deadlift
Wright State is look-ing to rebound from
an 11-20 season fueled by injuries that decimated the lineup.
The injuries to Wright State forwards JT Yoho and Stephen Davis suffered along with former Raider guards Reggie Arceneaux and Ken-dall Griffin proved to be the most painful.
“Your enemies will say it’s excuse making, but it’s not,” Wright State head coach Bil-ly Donlon said. “If any team in the country did not have their best four players they wouldn’t have done very well.”
The impact of the injuries was the most visible when the Raiders only had 7 active players on the floor. Donlon is looking to return to the 9 or 10 deep lineup he was ac-customed to when Wright State made two consecutive runs to the Horizon League championship game.
The voids in the lineup last season gave guards Grant Benzinger and Justin Mitch-ell the opportunity to play more minutes than expected in their freshmen campaigns. While this was great experi-ence for the two guards, no spot in the starting lineup is currently safe if the Raiders keep their depth, Donlon ex-plained.
Raiders look to recover from plaguing injuries
“Your level of play and at-tention span increases when you know if you don’t get it done there is a guy behind you who is going to come in,” Donlon said. “For those guys that will be an adjustment because they didn’t have to go through that last year. There is no starting position that isn’t open right now.”
Wright State center Mi-chael Karena also received additional playing time due to injuries. In league play last season Karena averaged 28.4 minutes and 11.5 points per game. Additionally, Karena and Roderick Davis were the only two Raiders to shoot over 50 percent from the field in league play last sea-son.
“Many coaches in our league feel like he is the best back to the basket player in the league coming back,” Donlon said.
Stephen Davis is recover-ing from a foot injury that has lingered since last December and it is uncertain when he will play. Yoho was sidelined by a knee injury for much of last season, but it is expected he will be playing when the season commences against South Dakota on Nov. 13.
“He was on pace to be an all-conference player,” Don-lon said. “We need that same productivity. We also need great vocal leadership from him, but I expect J.T. to prove he is one of the better players
in our league.” Wright State’s non-confer-
ence schedule will consist of NCAA tournament teams Kentucky, Georgia State and Xavier. The Raiders will also face off against last season’s 29 game winner Murray State, NIT team Charleston Southern and regional rival Bowling Green at the Nutter Center.
“Everywhere you look at our schedule for the most part there is a really hard game,” Donlon said.
With 99 percent of their scoring returning, Valparaiso was voted to finish first in the Horizon League last week. The Raiders were selected to finish fifth.
“There is always a surprise or two based on preseason selections, but it’s a terrific league. If you are a fan of bas-ketball in the area, when it’s conference time you should be excited about who is com-ing into our building,” Don-lon said.
Fans that attend games at the Nutter Center this season should expect to witness a team characterized by fight, according to Donlon.
“I think they can expect the teams that our fans have grown to love with guys that play incredibly hard, play with great effort, and play for the name on the front of the jersey,” Donlon said.

The event began with a meet and greet with key-note speaker and 24 year CBS col-lege analyst, Clark Kellogg

followed by a meet and greet with the coaching staffs and players.
After losing five seniors from last year’s team that fell to Green Bay in the Horizon League Championship game, women’s head coach Mike Bradbury talked about his strong recruiting class, non-conference schedule and leaders on the team.
“With that class gone, this is by far the most talented
freshman class that we have signed so far,” Bradbury said. “The schedule is tough and it will be a challenge for us. Hopefully we’ll be up for the challenge and be excited to play in those games and those atmospheres. I believe we’ll be a team to compete with Green Bay.”
The men’s team battled in-juries throughout all of last season and have 11 return-ing players this season. Head
coach Billy Donlon intro-duced his players and gave insight into the upcoming season.
“The schedule is outstand-ing,” Donlon said. “This year we’ll probably be first or second in non-conference strength of schedule so our guys will have to be ready every single night. With our depth, our players and our focus I don’t think there’s any
doubt we’ll get back to what we’ve done and that’s com-pete for a Horizon League Championship.”
The women’s team kicks their season off at the Nut-ter Center on Saturday, Oct. 31 for an exhibition against Indiana Wesleyan at 2 p.m. The Men open their season at the NIU Showcase in DeKalb, IL on Friday, Nov. 13 against South Dakota.
