A program based off of the TV show “Shark Tank” offers University and Firelands stu-dents the opportunity to get their ideas funded by a professional entrepreneur.

The Hatch program is in its third year at the University and is spon-sored by the College of Business. It allows students to apply and pitch an innovative product they believe is marketable. Once accepted into the program, they are matched with a mentor and endure a 10 week process leading up to the night of the presentations.

“This is the third year for the Hatch at BGSU,” said Kirk Kern, director of the Dallas-Hamilton Center in the College of Business. “The idea came when the Dean [of the College of Business] and I sat down and talked. We wanted students to have an opportunity to have experience in a co-curricu-lum outside the classroom to be an entrepreneur and start their own

companies, so we came up with the Hatch.”

The Hatch program gives stu-dents the chance to have their prod-uct funded by an alumnus, provid-ing not only investment opportuni-ties but educational opportunities as well, with students being able to earn three credit hours.

The way the students pres-ent their ideas is set up the same as the NBC show “Shark Tank.” Kern and his team recently pre-sented the Hatch to a conference in London. The Hatch program at the University is one of the only ones structured not only in the U.S. but the world.

“The application process is very simple, with a form and essay,” said Kern. “Once chosen, we match the student with an alumni mentor and they go through a rigorous 10 week process talking about devel-oping their idea into market analy-sis, pricing/financials, blueprint and building a quasi-business plan. They have assignments due each Friday and a 24 step online process called ‘Incubation.’”

The Dean of the College of Business, Dr. Raymond Brown, said that the Hatch is one of the best programs to be featured at the University.

“I came to the school a little over two years ago,” said Brown. “I wanted a program that focused on student entrepreneurs and that’s where the Hatch was born. The first year, the actual presentation night of the Hatch was standing room only. Last year the ballroom was filled and this year we hope to pack the Stroh. We had some cool entries the first year-one guy had a food truck called Bueno Vita and a girl had Cribs on Campus, where students can order micro-waves and dorm items in one pack-age and have them delivered to their dorm. The first year we had 83 applicants. Nine were chosen and three were funded. Last year we had 100 applicants. 12 were chosen and 10 were funded. We had 67 watch parties all across the coun-try and we trended number two on

Students votes Matter

Discussion panel led by keynote speaker Randy Gardner educates voters on election issuesBy Emily Johnson

Reporter

A group of student organizations hosted a panel to discuss local issues and the 2014 midterm ballot Thursday, Oct. 30. The goal of the panel was for stu-dents to be inspired vote and to inform students to make educated choices when voting Nov. 4.

The panel was done as a personal discussion with a town hall setting, with a circle of the panel and audience. The panel was brought from a broad group of individuals to create a non-partisan discussion.

The panel was comprised of senior Kasie Durkit; University professor and founder of the Women’s Center, Mary Krueger; special events coordinator for the Toledo mayor’s office, Alan Bannister, Chairman of the University’s psychology department and chair-man of the Democratic Party for the Wood County Board of Elections, Mike Zickar; and executive com-mittee chair of the Wood Country Republican Party, Matt Reger.

Keynote speaker Senator and University Alumnus, Randy Gardner spoke to the audience about the importance on students’ voters.

“There are more at stake for young voters than there is for others because the decisions are made are going to affect life 5-10 years from now, job opportu-nities, education opportunities,” Gardner said. “Even

though voter participation is lower with students it isn’t logical, because there is so much at stake there is a grater for students.”

The panel covered many issues facing college stu-dents, issue of importance of a college vote, stu-dents who think that their vote doesn’t count, what they can do to help promote students voting in the face of dwindling student votes, students who don’t know what political party they should vote with, and opened up the panel to the audience.

“Students getting behind in certain issues has had a dramatic affect Wood County … and has affected the city just because students have gotten excited about an issue,” said David Westmeyer, University Undergraduate Representative to the Board of Trustees. “These midterm elections, in my opinion, are going to have as much of an effect on them (stu-dents) then the presidential election.”

The panel event also provided different activities available for students, focused in educating students over issues and what is on the ballet. The panel played videos from BG Votes and the Turn Out for What campaign. Booths were set up for to hand out information on general election candidates, voter registration, precinct and voting location with the help of BG Votes, College Democrats, College Republicans, NAACP, Vision and students of service learning.

Twitter.”This year, the new

“Hatchlings” will be announced following the very last event of Global Entrepreneurship Week on Nov. 20.

“This year we’ll be in the Stroh,” says Kern. “We’re also having a high school video contest and those students will have a chance to follow a Hatchling. Our programs is in the ranks of Stanford and MIT. We’re having a trendy growth in this program and to graduate with a degree

and your own business started already? That’s an amazing opportunity.”

Past Hatch winner and senior Loren Branch agrees.

“My product is VITAL Apparel, which is a clothing company designed to help revitalize the city of Detroit,” said Branch. “10 percent of all proceeds got to programs that do just that, such as the Young Detroit Builders and the Motor City Blight Busters. I asked for $7500 and received it as a loan with 10% equity. It was the best deal of the night, hands down. I even had counteroffers written on my hands. The Hatch was such a blessing. I just finished my

Incubation. The most stress-ful part is last 10 days pull-ing everything together. But when you’re extremely pas-sionate about your dream, it doesn’t seem like you’re working. On the night of the event, I made a playlist to get me going and made my roommate bring me my bas-ketball which calmed me down. It was a roller coaster for sure but worth it.”

Senior Morgan Smith, another Hatch winner, has a similar viewpoint.

“I founded U-Mat Laundry and was given the full $8000 I asked for,” said Smith. “The program is structured but you have a lot of freedom as

well. As stressed as I was, I was optimistic that every-thing would get done and I had my mentor by my side. The night of the event, I was nervous but excited because I knew that there was no one in the room, let alone the world that knew my prod-uct as well as I did. I spent roughly 25-30 hours a week on my project.”

Smith and Branch have some valuable advice for future Hatchlings.

“You get out what you put in,” said Smith. “Everyone wants you to succeed and is willing to work with you so never be afraid to ask ques-tions or get help.”

The BG Perspective program is undergoing changes that will take effect for students entering next fall.

The changes, which will not affect current students, are intended to create a more “smaller, more inten-tional” program, said BG Perspective Director Donna Nelson-Beene.

“We want to be sure that the courses that are on the BGP list will really provide a good

solid foundation for students moving into their upper-level courses,” Nelson-Beene said. “That’s what a general educa-tion program should be.”

A general education is com-parable to football players lift-ing weights in workouts, said Steve Boone, a member of the committee reviewing pro-posed courses and an assis-tant professor in theatre and film. Football players don’t actually lift weights in games, but lifting prepares them for games. Similarly, a general education should prepare stu-

dents for the future, even if they won’t directly use all the knowledge they gain from it.

“BG Perspective [cours-es] are the equivalent of the weight room for your brain,” Boone said.

The BGP committee is cur-rently reviewing course pro-posals for courses to include in the program. Many of the proposals are for courses in the current BGP program, but some courses would be new to the program if accepted.

140 proposals have been submitted as of Oct. 30,

Nelson-Beene said.The committee created a

new set of BGP learning out-comes, and are looking at how proposed courses intend to meet learning outcomes. Proposals must include plans for how student learn-ing of these outcomes will be measured.

For most classes, the mea-surement will be through a written assessment such as a final paper, said Marc Simon, another BGP committee

City and University host various forms of entertainmentMedia Review: “Afterworlds”

Scott Westerfeld’s novel follows both an author and her main characterBy Cassie Sullivan

Assistant Managing Editor

Scott Westerfeld, a young-adult author known for his novels like “Leviathan” and the “Uglies” Trilogy is back with a new novel about a novelist writing her first novel.

“Afterworlds” follows two main characters: Darcy, the 18-year-old novelist who wrote her first novel in a month based on her mother’s childhood best friend’s death; and Lizzie, Darcy’s main character in her novel, who is the sole survivor of a terrorist attack in an airport.

In Darcy’s point of view, she signs a contract with a pub-lisher to print “Afterworlds” and write a sequel to the novel, along with doing the rewrites and edits on her first novel. Darcy moves from her parents’ house in Philadelphia to New York City, where she meets other authors [both experienced and new, like

herself] and adapts to the life of being a writer.

While Darcy is working on her novel and eating her way through New York, Lizzie is cop-ing with something completely different.

During the attack, Lizzie was told by the 911 operator she called to pretend to be dead to avoid being killed, which she did. But when she pretended to be dead, she slipped into the Afterworld, where she was given the power to see ghosts and travel to and from the Afterworld.

After that experience, Lizzie finds her mom’s childhood best friend in her home, and finds out the girl had been murdered dur-ing their childhood. Lizzie takes it on herself to find the man who did it and provide closure for the girl.

Based on the month-long National Novel Writing Month challenge, Westerfeld was able to take what could have been two

completely different novels and combine both into one, feeding off characters for both novels. While the reader is reading about Darcy’s time in NYC, the back of their mind is constantly wonder-ing what is happening in Lizzie’s world, and vice versa as the chapters change back and forth.

It’s one thing reading a book separated into chapters based on the points of views of the characters, but it’s something completely different when the novel is about the author and their work as well as the love and sometimes frustration the author goes through while working on a novel.

Westerfeld did a great job get-ting the reader involved with both characters and understand-ing how the life experiences of the author were able to influence her character, while the experi-ences of the character were able to influence the author in ways that she hadn’t imagined before.

By Cassie SullivanAssistant Managing Editor

Sometimes it’s hard to imagine what someone’s favorite childhood char-acters would look like as teenagers.

But sometimes it’s possible to see what that might look like.

In December, Lionface Productions, a community theatre company based in Bowling Green, is putting on “Dog Sees God,” an unauthorized parody of the popu-lar comic strip, “Peanuts.”

As a company, Lionface Productions started in 2009 and is currently in its fifth season, said Michael Portteus, the artistic director.

“It was really started because all of us are performers; all of us are theater practitioners in some way. We were sort of tired of waiting around for people to kind of do the shows that we wanted to do,” Portteus said. “We decided that instead of complaining about it, we should do them.”

Ryan Albrecht, the director of “Dog Sees God” and the vice chair-man of Lionface’s board of direc-tors, said the company stands out from others in the community.

“We are a bit different from all of the other community theaters in town and really in the area and that’s [because] all of our actors are typically pretty young by compari-son,” Albrecht said. “The type of work we do appeals to the college crowd a little bit more. We heavily invest on Shakespeare, both from a

Shakespeare in the park standpoint and with educating young actors and audiences.”

Abbey Casino, the assistant direc-tor of “Dog Sees God,” thinks that by working with Lionface, she has a learning experience that is away from the University that also allows students who aren’t necessarily involved in theater to be a part of the production.

“It’s been a really cool learning experience and that says it all. We do have a younger crowd,” Casino said. “It’s also really nice being in school— I’m currently [working on] my theater major and it’s nice hav-ing a theater outlet that’s not just at the school. It’s also nice having one because you don’t have to be working in theater to do community theater.”

Lionface also provides a space where full, original works can be developed and performed, along with performing theater dealing with topics that might not be per-formed normally.

“We don’t get a lot of Shakespeare in this town. That’s something we focus on. There’s not a lot of places for full original works to be done, so that’s something we focused on,” Portteus said. “Theater that touches on broader, social issues— maybe things that are sometimes difficult to watch or maybe sometimes things are a bit more controversial than what other companies are comfort-able doing.”

Lionface’s next production, “Dog Sees God” is the “Peanuts” charac-

ters in high school 10 years after the comic strip.

“There’s a lot of things people for-get about the ‘Peanuts.’ It’s one of the first times that children spoke like adults and it’s something that is completely taken for granted now, because it’s already happened, because that kind of motif has been used again and again,” Portteus said. “It seems commonplace now, but these were children who for the first time ever, had fully-fledged adult ideas and feelings presented to a nationwide audience. This is taking that same intellect and sort of seeing what happens when they’re allowed to do something they were never able to do decades in comic strips.”

The play deals with heavy top-ics, from suicide, to drugs, alcohol, underage sex and rape, Albrecht said.

“It’s very easy to write it off as another emo teen show ... I think by telling it through the lens of these ‘Peanuts’ characters who spoke with such wisdom and are one of the mainstays of popular culture and everyone has already identified with a couple of them,” Albrecht said.

While the play touches on heavy topics, it is also nostalgic.

“It is really nostalgic because of the idea of the ‘Peanuts’ characters but also because there are issues that almost everyone can relate to in the show. There’s a lot packed into it and I think it’s handed in a smart way,” Casino said.

“Dog Sees God” is Dec. 4, 5 and 6 at 8 p.m. at 123 Court St. Admission costs have not been decided yet.

SHEILA HOEGLER | THE BG NEWS



I can remember very clear-ly a night not so long ago: the first night I truly felt alone.

I had been in a rut; vis-ibly unhappy and dis-traught to such an extent that even those I barely knew could tell something was deeply wrong with me.

I was supposed to be having the time of my life studying abroad in France and enjoying all of the wonderful foods, sounds and memories that went along with it, but on that night of October the thir-tieth, I was heartbroken, somewhat homesick and generally disinterested in living the rest of my life as it was.

Many truths over-whelmed me that night.

I had entrusted my heart to someone I barely knew in a foolhardy attempt to give myself something to hang onto in the midst of my confusion. I had board-ed a plane to a foreign land for all the wrong reasons; leaving behind the bro-ken pieces of my life in an effort to start fresh. I had been feeling incredibly distant from most of my classmates, though most of that was my own doing.

But most of all, I had wrongly assumed that every mile we passed over the glassy surface of the Atlantic, I was getting further and further from my problems.

But as I sat gazing down, teary-eyed, at the bottom of a bottle of Bordeaux, I

realized that I had been so wrong about every-thing. So I got up from my chair, put on my shoes and sweatshirt and went on a walk.

I stumbled past the international school; past all the clubs and shops and sushi bars whose signs glowed all imaginable col-ors in the night, down to my favorite bridge over-looking the Loire River. That night at dinner with my host parents, I was so low that I even felt mocked by the psychotic grins on my smiley potatoes.

So I stood there a while, imagining how my friends and family might miss me if I decided to end it all there.

Part of me would have hated to put that on them and I felt it would have been a selfish decision, but that didn’t matter; not to me, not then, not in that state of mind. I just want-ed the pain to stop.

The somber, melanchol-ic notes of Jerry Cantrell’s guitar and Layne Staley’s gripping, solemn voice haunted my ears as I lis-tened to “Nutshell” for the millionth time that night. That song was my one respite— the one consola-tion I had that someone else, at one point, although

for a different reason, had experienced the same feel-ings as I was at that point.

Knowing that helped me leave the bridge, walk home and approach the next day as best I could.

The truth is that some-times, no one will be there to reach out to us and we have to be able to over-come on our own. Before suicide was ever really talked about the way it is now; before the candle-light vigils, high school gym assemblies and yel-low ribbons, those with nowhere to turn sought solace in the music— whether literal or figura-tive— of others.

Sometimes, sadness itself isn’t necessarily a bad thing and knowing one is not alone in suffer-ing is sometimes the great-est, most human comfort of all.

Respond to Ian at [email protected]

Last Friday, while spend-ing time with some friends in the Union, my iPod kept lighting up in my pocket with notifications from my CNN app about a school shooting.

The shooting happened at Marysville-Pilchuck High School in a town north of Seattle. The shooter, Jaylen Fryberg, opened fire in the cafeteria, shooting four friends— two of which were cousins of his—before killing himself. Of the four students shot, two have died; one at the scene and one in the hos-pital from their injuries.

My first thought when I was reading about this [as details were developing] was, “Oh goodness, another kid got sick of being bullied.” But as the evening went on and more details came in, I found myself being baf-fled by what was being said about the shooter.

Jaylen Fryberg was a freshman at the high school. He was Native American, part of the Tulalip nation and an active member of it. He was on the football team and planned on trying out for the wrestling team.

A week before the shoot-ing, Fryberg was part of the high school’s homecom-ing court and crowned the homecoming prince.

There are two ideas behind his motive to shoot: one is that he was recently bullied by another student for his heritage; the second is that he recently fought with one of his cousins about an ex-girlfriend of his.

Based on knowledge about past school shoot-ings and from the way school shootings and their shooters are portrayed on TV, [the most popular one from television being actor Evan Peters’ character Tate Langdon from “American Horror Story: Murder House”] Jaylen Fryberg does not meet the standards set by previous school shooters.

Your “typical” school shooter is a white male. He is quiet and withdrawn from the people around him. He’s not popular, so not very many students would know him.

And if a lot of students do know him, it comes with a negative reputation.

He’s not athletic and he doesn’t get nominated for school dance royalties [he may not even go to school dances]. Sometimes he is a victim of bullying, some-times getting called a “freak” or even a “psychopath.”

Other times, he is not a victim of bullying. Other times, he sits in the back of the classroom, glaring at everyone, biding his time.

It is time to erase the stereotype television and society have given school shooters. It is time to stop thinking there’s only one way school shooters “are.”

What happened at

Marysville-Pilchuck High School is proof that things like shootings can happen anywhere and there is proof in this shooting that some-one like Jaylen Fryberg can do something like this.

It is easy to look at the kid who sits in the back and doesn’t say anything to any-one and think they could be the kind of person to shoot up a school. But it is not so easy to handle that the per-son you would least suspect to be a school shooter actu-ally is one.

Please do not give in to the myth that there is only one way a school shooter has to look or even act. Please be more mindful that anyone is capable of doing some-thing like this.

Opening your mind and looking past the stereotype could help prevent some-thing like this from happen-ing again.

member and an associate pro-fessor in political science. In larger courses, the assessment might be multiple choices.

The focus on assessing how learning outcomes are being met is “the biggest change from past practice,” Simon said.

Some courses on the cur-rent list are no longer offered, so another goal is to update the list with courses that are regu-larly offered.

“When the student or the advisor takes this list and starts working with it, they’ll know that this course will be taught and it’s a good choice and they don’t have to come through the system to weed out courses that haven’t been taught in a long time,” Nelson-Beene said.

To be part of the BGP pro-gram next fall, courses must be fully reviewed and approved by Dec. 31. Departments can con-tinue to submit proposals after that, but courses approved later will be included in the program in later semesters.

When the new program goes into effect, “The classes should be, in general, designed to meet the average students’ needs better than the courses we have on the books now,” Simon said.

A University professor won on the TV show “Jeopardy!” Monday night and no one is more surprised than him.

“It still feels not totally real,” Bill Albertini, associate professor in the English department, said.

“I was mostly just exceed-ingly surprised and happy that I did well on that day [Monday],” Albertini said. “I was trying to keep my expectations as low as possible.”

Albertini credits luck for his win.

He said, “I just got very lucky that I happened to get questions that I knew the answers to.”

Dave Kielmeyer, senior com-munications director for the University, saw Albertini’s suc-cess in a different way.

Kielmeyer said it was “a dem-onstration of the bright people we have in the classroom,” refer-ring to University faculty.

He added that Albertini’s appearance on the show brought positive attention to the University.

“It’s always great for the University when someone asso-ciated with us is on a national television program and does well,” he said.

Albertini tied on Tuesday to continue on, but came in sec-ond Wednesday night even after almost doubling his money dur-ing Final Jeopardy.

Kielmeyer was still impressed. “He did obviously do very well;

he was on national TV for three days,” Kielmeyer said. “We’re all very proud of him.”

Junior Jackie O’Donnell, a stu-dent in one of Albertini’s classes, said she knew he would do well.

“Some of the things he says in class, you can tell he’s a very intelligent man,” O’Donnell said.

O’Donnell said she had fun watching the episodes Albertini competed in.

“I thought, ‘That’s so cool, my teacher’s on Jeopardy! and he’s doing well,’” she said.

As the show drew nearer to the end, Albertini had a sizable lead on both his competitors, which caused him to adjust his strategy.

Albertini said, “I basically stopped answering questions at that point because I was basi-cally afraid I was going to make a mistake and lose that [lead].”

He said he wanted to “resist guessing” on any of the ques-tions near the end.

Despite having nearly double the amount of one of the other contestants, Albertini still wor-ried that he might lose.

“Even when it went to the final, I knew ... even if I got it wrong I could still win, but I was terrified I had done the math incorrectly,” he said. “I did the math five times before I wagered.”

Before competing on Jeopardy!, Albertini was a long-time viewer. He came to atten-tion of the show by completing an online quiz they offered.

Albertini said he took the

online quiz twice but never heard back from the show the first time.

However, after the second time, “They emailed me and said ‘Do you want to come to Detroit in May and try out in person?’ and then I did,” Albertini said.

After auditioning in person in Detroit, where he took another test and played a mock game in front of the cameras, Albertini was contacted two months later and asked to come out to LA.

For Albertini, the deci-sion to go on the show didn’t happen consciously.

“It was sort of a thing I did for fun and suddenly the ball was rolling and it felt a little beyond my control at that point so I just went with it,” Albertini said.

Albertini described the expe-rience as “very fast.”

“Everything happened incredibly quickly and ... every-thing was a bit of a blur,” he said. “I was probably largely pan-icked during the entire time.”

Despite this, Albertini found being on the show a pleasant experience.

“The people were very nice and all the other contestants were really friendly and fun to talk to. It was a good time,” he said.

Albertini said he would encouraged students to try out for the show, but O’Donnell isn’t planning to.

“I think it’s really neat, but I don’t think I could do it,” she said.

Senior Emma Sales, civic action leader, said “We reached out to student organizations that we felt could give a differ-ent voice then the ones in our panel, I think that’s important for students to know regardless of your demographics, regard-less of where you come from your going to be able to talk to someone … that could provide answers.”

The panel was created to inspire and educate stu-dents on how important the midterm election is to Wood County and Ohio. Although it is not too late for students to learn information and make an educated vote for Nov. 4. There are resources for indi-viduals through the Office of Service Learning’s website tab and BGSU votes to gain more information on the subject.

Cross country team rises in the rankings after last game

Men’s team rebounds with OT victory

Falcons prepare for MAC championship

By Jamar DunsonReporter

Kohl Taberner, Andrea Alt and the rest of the Falcons compete in their biggest meet of the season this Saturday.

The two teams will compete in the Mid-American Championship meet beginning on Friday.

The women’s cross country team will take the stage first in the 6,000 championship race at 11 a.m. The men will go next when they compete at noon in the 8,000 race.

“We’re looking forward to do our best for this meet,” said assistant head coach Eric Thatcher. “At this point, it’s time to get it done.”

Taberner, who also came in first place for the men’s for the last two weeks, is looking forward to improving on his stats as well as beating the University of Toledo.

“I want to try to finish in less than 26 minutes,” Taberner said. “As a team, I want to see us go after Toledo and then bring our team average down.”

The men’s team hopes to improve from their last per-formance, where they fin-ished 27 out of 28 teams in the Pre-Nationals’ meet.

As for the women, they hope to continue their positive run as they came in seventh place out of the 33 teams from the Pre-Nationals.

“The big things we have going for us is our experience and fitness,”

said head coach Lou Snelling. “This is the healthiest team I’ve had since I’ve been here and it should all play well as we head into our championship segment.”

With athletes such as junior Becca Rae, Alt and redshirt soph-omore Mackenzie McMillin, coach Snelling has a lot to be confident about.

“We think we have a shot to be top four in the MAC this year as a team,” Snelling said. “We have accomplished a lot of our training and racing goals up to this point.”

Coach Thatcher, while contain-ing much younger players still gaining experience, believes they will come into their own more at this meet.

“These young men deserve a result that matches their current fitness, and I am confident they will respond with toughness to the challenge that our conference championship meet provides,” he said.

The success of the Falcons from their last meet also put them in the regional rankings. According to the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, BG moved up to num-ber 13, two spots from their last meet and their highest regional-ranking in its current format.

The MAC Championship will be hosted by Central Michigan University at the Riverwood Golf Course.

With just two wins in October, the BG men’s soccer team fin-ished the month with a double-overtime thriller.

Having scored just two goals in their last four games, the Falcons were struggling to put the ball in the net again on Wednesday.

Scoreless for the first 90 minutes, the game headed to overtime.

However, neither team could put the ball in the net until late in the second and final over-time, then the nation’s sec-ond leading scorer, Pat Flynn scored an unassisted goal at the 109-minunte mark.

The golden goal snapped a

four game winless skid for the Falcons securing win number 10 for the season and giving the Falcons their first 10-win season since 1998.

The goal was number 13 for Flynn on the season and first since Sept. 19 against Eastern Illinois where he scored goals 11 and 12.

“He [Pat Flynn] is a confi-dent guy,” said head coach Eric Nichols. “He likes to win and today his goal won the game for us.”

The victory helped the Falcons get out of a near month-long slump, reiterating to the team that it takes more than just good soccer to finish on top.

“The win feels great because winning is hard,” Nichols said. “You have to do more than just

play well and these past few games in particular have shown us.”

The victory came on the play of goalkeeper Ryan Heuton making eight crucial saves. He notched the eighth team shutout and his fourth personal shutout for the season.

With the victory out of the way, BG will look to end the season on a high note beginning with a Mid-American Conference game on Saturday.

“We haven’t looked ahead to Western Michigan yet, but we’ll be business as usual. We’re never holding back,” Nichols said.

Western Michigan comes into the match with an 8-4-4 overall record having won two of their

NCAA leading goal scorer Kevin Dufour and the BG hockey team will look to improve on their 4-1-1 overall record as they face Western Collegiate Hockey Association opponent Minnesota State this weekend at home.

Dufour enters the weekend series with eight goals and has scored at least one goal in every game this season.

The last time these two teams met was last March in the 2014 WCHA Final Five tour-nament. The Mavericks defeated the Falcons 4-0 in the semifinal round and went on to claim the Broadmoor Trophy in the WCHA championship game.

“They’re a team we’re trying to be like, quite honestly and I think we developed a little bit of rivalry last year playing four games in three weeks,” said head coach Chris Bergeron.

Last season, the teams faced each other five times, with four of those games decided by a one goal margin, three of which were decided in overtime.

“This isn’t about redemption for last year, this is about facing a very difficult opponent in our building, a team that we have a bunch of respect for,” Bergeron said.

Forward Mark Cooper recorded a hat trick on Nov. 23, 2013 at the BGSU Ice Arena against the Mavericks. That game also went into overtime, where Cooper scored the game-winning goal near the end of the overtime period.

Both Minnesota State and BG enter Friday’s matchup tied for first in the WCHA in scoring, with an average of 3.50 goals per game. Similarly, the Falcons and Mavericks are first and second in the league with eight and seven power play goals scored thus far, respectively.

The Mavericks currently have an overall record of 4-2-0.Last weekend, they outscored Alabama-Huntsville 7-2 on the weekend to complete a

weekend series sweep of the Chargers. The Falcons had similar success over the weekend, defeating Clarkson University on

the road Saturday night to win the series. Falcon goalie Chris Nell made 30 saves as the

last three games.The Broncos also hold a

2-0-1 record in the MAC, good for first place in the conference.

With the success of Western Michigan and the conference struggles of the Falcons, this game is going to be crucial in determin-ing the length of the season for BG.

Another winless MAC game would almost cer-tainly knock the Falcons out of contention for the conference tournament and therefore prevent BG from fulfilling their goal of a MAC title.

But the Falcons have played better soccer of late, using sound defense and firing off a multitude of shots as the recipe.

While the results have been shaky at best, the Falcons have put together a streak of quality perfor-mances that will guide them against the Broncos.

MEN’S From Page 6

Falcons won 5-4.“The coach in me says

that there is always work to do, but ultimately we were happy with the weekend,” Bergeron said.

The Falcon offense has scored 21 goals through six games this season, with 18 of those goals coming from freshmen and sophomores.

The puck will drop at 7:07 p.m. on Friday and Saturday night as the BG hockey team returns home to the BGSU Ice Arena for the first time since Oct. 10.

BG ends season at homeBy Tobias Flemming

Reporter

After going 2-1-1 in its last four games, the BG women’s soccer team looked to end its season with a positive result on Thursday afternoon at Cochrane Field.

The Falcons, however, fell to the Eastern Michigan Eagles 3-0 in their last Mid-American Conference game of the year.

“I think we came out flat in the first half and made some defensive errors that typically we don’t make,” said head coach Lindsay Basalyga. “I think that comes from being on our heels a little bit and then obviously we are going into halftime trying to find a way to dig us out of a 2-0 hole.”

The Eagles came into this game looking to stay in first place in the MAC West and took the lead after just 10 minutes of play when Chelsie Oddan took a shot from the middle of a crowded box mak-ing it 1-0 for Eastern Michigan.

BG freshman Skylar Fleak scored a goal midway through the first half which would have made it 1-1, yet the goal was called off due to offsides.

In minute 36, Eagles play-er Angela Vultaggio scored the second goal for Eastern Michigan with a shot from the right side of box that went past Lauren Cadel into the back of the net.

The Eagles took the 2-0 lead into halftime. EMU scored its

third goal at minute 57 when Megan Trapp took a shot after receiving the ball off a deflec-tion from a defender making it 3-0 for the Eagles.

Basalyga said her team was competing well and played a good brand of soccer against the Eagles.

EMU outshot the Falcons 19-15 in the game, but the Falcons took 11 of the 15 shots in the second half trying to find a way back into the game.

Despite conceding three goals, Falcons goalkeeper Lauren Cadel made seven saves in goal for the Falcons.

“I think we are defending really well and Lauren [Cadel] was huge for us this year in the back of the net and I think [she] kept a lot of games tighter then they may have been,” Basalyga said. “But for a young team, we are playing six, seven freshmen at a time; I think our defensive disci-pline was really good and the ideas that we are seeing translate from training into games I think is at a better place now than it was at the beginning of the year as well.”

The Falcons end their 2014 campaign with a 4-13-1 over-all record and a 3-7-1 record in the MAC while EMU fin-ished 11-6-1 overall and 7-4-0 in MAC play.

BG will not make an appearance in the MAC tour-nament this year yet the team has improved on its perfor-mance in past seasons.
