A smoke-free campus could be in the works within the next three years, as Syracuse University has partnered with the Onondaga County Health Department through a state program called Colleges for Change.

November marks the 35th annual Great American Smokeout, during which organizations encourage smok-ers to quit or make a plan to quit.

As a part of New York state’s tobacco control program, Colleges for Change aims to reduce the promotion of tobac-co and lower exposure to secondhand smoke on campus. The age group with the highest prevalence of smoking in the state is 18- to 24-year-olds, according to a Sept. 10 SU News Services release.

Supporters of the satirical SUCOLi-tis blog’s right to free speech say the university has successfully set a precedent for limiting students’ First Amendment rights by calling unwanted speech harassment.

After a student fi led a complaint accusing the blog of harassment, law school members expressed heavy crit-icism and launched a formal investi-gation into SUCOLitis, a WordPress blog poking fun at people and institu-tions within the Syracuse University College of Law. The blog went private Wednesday afternoon, after hitting more than 12,000 views.

As the bagpipe notes of “Amazing Grace” fl oated in the background, 35 seniors stepped up one by one to the Wall of Remembrance to lay a rose in honor of the victims of the Pam Am Flight 103 explosion 22 years ago.

Friday’s Rose Laying Ceremony was the culmination of Remem-brance Week 2010. The ceremony began with 35 chimes at 2:03 p.m., the time of the tragedy. The 35 Remembrance Scholars, seniors chosen for their academic achieve-ments and contributions to SU, hon-ored the memories of the people who died in the Dec. 22, 1988, terrorist attack.

After beginning her tenure in March, Tiffany Steinwert will be officially installed as the sixth dean of Hen-dricks Chapel when she is presented her responsibilities Monday.

The ceremony will take place at 3 p.m. in Hendricks Chapel. All members

of Syracuse University and the greater Syracuse area are welcome to attend.

The service will last for an hour with many officials from SU, the Syracuse community and Onondaga Nation present. Chancellor Nancy Cantor will give Steinwert her official charge as dean of Hendricks Chapel, and Steinwert will give a response to accept her charge, Steinwert said.

Steinwert was chosen last Decem-

ber out of a pool of 70 applicants to fill the position, replacing the interim dean Kelly Sprinkle, according to a Dec. 4 article in The Daily Orange. Steinwert officially began her work as dean of Hendricks Chapel in March, and this installation process is a for-mal recognition by the university.

The installation process, which

occurs for many university officials, is ceremonial and can take place any time after the person has taken his or her position, Steinwert said. The installation celebrates the universi-ty’s commitment to being an inclusive community, Steinwert said.

Don Garber was never a soccer junk-ie. He didn’t play as a kid, and up until the late 1990s, he was less than educated on the sport.

But after attending the 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup as a guest, he took a job as the Major League Soccer commissioner and became hooked on the game. And his goal is to reel in the rest of the country into soccer as well.

“Soccer is an explosive sport here in this country in so many different ways,” Garber said. “From a partici-pation level, from a fan level, from an American player development level. The sport is still in its infancy … with a massive amount of growth in front of us.”

Garber gave an address, “The Cre-ation of a Soccer Nation in America: Why the sport matters here in the U.S. and why it will matter more in the future,” in Kittredge Auditorium Thursday evening. The MLS com-missioner since 1999, Garber is also a member of the USA Bid Commit-tee, which is trying to bring the 2022 World Cup to the United States.

The committee also features for-mer President Bill Clinton, Brad Pitt and U.S. soccer stars Landon Dono-van and Mia Hamm.

They all share the same sentiment Garber relayed Thursday: Soccer is a sport on the rise in America. And bringing the World Cup to the United States in 2022 — for the first time since 1994 — would help soccer grow rapidly.

Garber said it is important to continue supporting the grassroots development of soccer in the United States.

“But if you can bring the biggest sports tournament in the world, with the best players in the world, to our shores, that will give us a jumpstart

Campus Crusade for Christ and Baptist Campus Ministries, said she hopes the charge Cantor gives Steinwert will create a more inviting and educational atmosphere for students at SU to learn about all faiths without the fear of being pressured.

“I hope she can help the tolerance and help open learning so people can talk and decide what they believe and not what they think they should believe,” said Picini, a sophomore photo-journalism and history major.

Steinwert has previously worked as an interfaith consultant and a teaching fellow at both Boston University and Harvard Uni-versity. Her previous work was mostly with graduate level students, and she said this opportunity allows her more access to the entire SU community.

“Someone who has worked with college students before will be much more wildly suc-

cessful than someone who is just as educated and qualifi ed but doesn’t have experience with students,” Picini said. “We’re such a diffi cult generation, you have to be able to get the mes-sage across and be able to hold our attention.”

Rev. Linus DeSantis, Catholic chaplain at SU, said the formal installation of Steinwert as dean will help cement her position and infl uence the SU community.

He said Steinwert’s council will be sought to establish policy, and she will be expected to know the community, DeSantis said.

“Tiffany Steinwert will be viewed as a pivotal infl uence in the life of the university. She will be asked to comment on challenging elements confronting the university,” DeSantis said.

SU appealed to Steinwert for the high priori-tization of the interfaith, she said.

“Hendricks Chapel’s motto, ‘A home for all faiths, a place for all people,’ is taken very seri-ously here,” Steinwert said.

Steinwert’s most recent position before tran-sitioning to SU was as senior pastor of Cam-bridge Welcoming Ministries, an organization

Steinwert founded. The organization advocated for people of all sexual orientations and gender identities to be included in the United Methodist Church.

Steinwert also said she was attracted to the job because the position as the dean of Hen-dricks Chapel at SU is unlike similar positions in other universities.

“At other universities, the dean of the chapel is normally also the Protestant chaplain, but here the dean serves the entire university com-munity,” said Steinwert.

Steinwert said she has hopes to continue the success of Hendricks Chapel in engaging the university and the surrounding community.

“I see this not as an installation of a par-ticular person, but the formal entry of the sixth dean of Hendricks Chapel into an 80-year-old institution,” Steinwert said. “The tradition is ongoing. Now it’s my turn to walk that path for a while. I hope that on Monday we’ll celebrate a moment in the life of the chapel, rather than in an individual.”

“But you have to remember, even though it’s hard. I mean, it could have been any of us on the fl ight.”

Stephen Boland was an advertising major at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communica-tions and chapter vice president for his Delta Tau Delta fraternity for the 1989-90 academic year. He was one of the 270 people killed in the bombing.

Remembrance Scholar Andrew Woodbury is also a member of Delta Tau Delta and spoke

about Boland. Woodbury said he decided to apply for the Remembrance Scholarship because he felt a connection to Boland.

Boland continues to be a big part of Delta Tau Delta. Woodbury said he had the chance to renovate Boland’s room at the fraternity this summer and read through the letters from him and his family.

“It made a real impact on me, and I knew I wanted to represent him,” he said. “I have his fraternity sweatshirt hanging in my room that was passed down to me, and it is a real reminder of how we should all appreciate life.”

Despite the on-and-off rain, more than 200

people gathered to remember the victims. “I’ve stood out here in the snow, freezing

rain and sleet,” said Thomas Wolfe, senior vice president and dean of student affairs. Wolfe has never missed a ceremony, and he does not ever plan to, he said. “You can’t be indifferent to any result of terrorism.”

Despite the painful memories stirred at the ceremony, Wolfe emphasized the Rose Laying Ceremony is also inspirational. It is a sign that existence will not be defi ned by tragedy but by the power within us, he said.

About 30 of the guests were families and friends of nine of the victims, said Judith O’Rourke, director of the Offi ce of Undergraduate Studies in Academic Affairs and Remembrance Scholarship selection committee member.

Many of the guests still felt outraged about the release of Abdelbaset al-Megrahi from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds last year.

George White, a Scottish paramedic who found the body of SU student Suzanne Miazga, said he thought al-Megrahi was guilty.

“Guilty,” White said. “And he should never have been released.”

White is now a close friend of Suzanne’s mother, Anna Miazga, and they attended the ceremony together.

Anna remembered her last visit with her daughter a month before she was killed.

“When we got to the airport, I said goodbye,” Anna said. She said her daughter came back to say goodbye again. “I just want to say goodbye,” Suzanne said to her mom.

“That was the last time I saw her,” Anna said. “I’ll never forget it.”

that nothing else probably could,” he said.Garber spoke to an auditorium at near-capac-

ity, full of sport management majors and soccer fans. His presentation was split into two parts: the evolution of the MLS into a major profes-sional soccer league and the effort to bring the World Cup to the United States once again.

The two topics go hand-in-hand. The biggest step that needs to be taken in building up soccer in this country is the transition from youth participation to adult fandom, Garber said. Too many former soccer players do not stick with the sport as fans after their youth, he said.

The goal is to be more like the four major sports — baseball, football, basketball, hockey — in the United States, rather than a sport with a mediocre fan base, such as swimming or

cycling, Garber said. Soccer needs to be both a participation-based and a spectator-based sport to succeed, he said.

“That’s what FIFA is going to be looking for to bring the World Cup here, and that’s what our league is going to be looking for to continue to grow the overall interest in our sport,” he said.

The MLS was founded in 1993, but in recent years, it has taken its biggest strides under Garber. After the 2006 season, he created a youth development system affi liated with the league in which teams control their own youth clubs. During that same off-season, his desig-nated player rule went into effect, which helps MLS teams sign European stars. The most famous signing occurred in 2007, when the Los Angeles Galaxy signed English veteran David Beckham.

Still, the league is not nearly on par with the top European soccer leagues. And to skeptics,

soccer will not break through.“It can’t really compare to football and bas-

ketball and baseball,” said Danielle Czysz, a junior sport management major. “Once it gets professional, people turn to their home football teams or home baseball teams. Things they grew up with.”

The vote determining the host of the 2022 World Cup will take place Dec. 2. The United States is competing with Australia, Japan, South Korea and Qatar for the chance to host the event.

If the United States wins the bid, Garber said he would get to work right away because it could lead to the breakthrough he’s been looking for.

“We’ll have 12 years to build up momentum and have a long runway to continue to grow the sport,” he said. “What could be better? I’d rather have the World Cup 12 years from now than have it next year.”

M y 6-year-old cousin loves Lady Gaga. Love is actually an understatement. Juliet is

infatuated with the pop star who’s con-stantly winning awards and headlin-ing newspapers, blogs and magazines.

Juliet has been caught many a time strutting her stuff around the house, mumbling every single lyric to “Paparazzi” and “Bad Romance.” When I ask Juliet what she wants to be when she grows up, she quickly replies, “A super singer rock star, just like Lady Gaga.” When it came time to prepare for her sixth birthday party, take a guess as to who Juliet wanted me to dress up as.

Young girls are exposed to a vari-ety of role models in popular culture today. Some are positive influences, yet the majority of powerful females

in the limelight aren’t exactly the most ideal example setters. Within the past few months alone, Paris Hilton went to jail for cocaine posses-sion, Angelina from “Jersey Shore” simply existed on our television screens, and don’t even get me started on Lindsay Lohan (that poor girl just can’t get her act together).

Lady Gaga receives a fair amount of criticism for her fashion choices and rebellious acts, but I couldn’t be happier with Juliet’s decision to make her a role model figure. She teaches young girls to embrace their differences and not to be ashamed of their unique selves.

Not only does the pop star advo-cate uniqueness, but equality as well. Lady Gaga has a handle on political issues she deems important and edu-

cates her fans on her priorities. The “don’t ask, don’t tell” Senate repeal was one of many subject matters for which Lady Gaga demonstrated a passion. CNN reported on her rally for the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal in Maine on Sept. 20.

“The 24-year-old singer also drew cheers by proposing a new law, titled ‘If you don’t like it, go home,’ which would remove homophobic straight

soldiers from the military instead of gay soldiers. ‘If you are not honorable enough to fight without prejudice, go home,’ she shouted.”

This sense of political awareness alone makes Lady Gaga a better role model than her other female celebrity counterparts. She may party and enjoy herself, but don’t say she doesn’t productively contribute to society in true Lady Gaga fashion: distinctively.

Juliet is only in the first grade and will go through many phases throughout her childhood and adoles-cence. But I commend her for looking up to Lady Gaga for at least the time being, because this kind of role model in popular culture inspires Juliet to do her own thing. She dresses differently from her other first grade classmates and has the confidence to

be her own person.Lady Gaga has an agenda, and

her actions are very deliberate. All of her public decisions, from her choice of name to her most recent unicorn tattoo, are purposeful. Lady Gaga uses her celebrity to bring attention to her actions, in hopes that she can positively influence the lives of young women (and men), just like she did for Juliet.

I’m happy with my cousin’s choice of role model, and I hope more public figures follow in Lady Gaga’s footsteps. Young females taking progressive steps forward in the realms of fashion, music and politics all at once is defi-nitely something I could get used to.

k r y s t i e ya n d o l i

not a barbie girl

The article “Rolling In,” by Kathleen Ronayne and Beckie Strum, which appeared in Thursday’s The Daily Orange, is poorly written, biased and incorrect. Firstly, the title is inac-curate. Molly is not “the purest form of ecstasy.” Ecstasy and Molly are two drugs that are said to contain the substance MDMA. Molly is presented as pure MDMA. Secondly, MDMA is not an amphetamine. It is a strong stimulant that is chemically related but not identical to the amphetamine group. Furthermore, the statement that “pure MDMA reduces the serotonin in the brain” is completely false. While under the influence of MDMA, the brain rapidly releases serotonin. That is what makes the drug work. With chronic use, people may experience serotonin depletion, which does not occur while on the drug. Also, that “the user cannot tell if it is real or fake happiness” is a laughable and false claim.

Neurotransmitters act in the brain to make us feel certain ways at different levels, at all times. Sero-tonin makes us feel happy with or without MDMA. It would be interest-ing for the authors and Ms. Erin Mul-vey (who was said to have made the claim) to clarify what distinguishes

“real” and “fake” happiness. MDMA simply increases the

amount of serotonin in the brain, thus making the user feel blissful, ener-getic and open. A drug that decreases serotonin would not have the ability to make anyone feel good. The article is a joke. For a school that has such a focus on objective journalism, “Roll-ing In” is a huge disappointment. By the way, the opiate heroin isn’t spelled “heroine.” Check your facts and do some unbiased research.

In our society, there are countless misrepresentations, myths and lies about mind-altering substances. Like it or not, people and animals have found ways to alter their states of con-sciousness since the beginning of time, and we will continue to do so. Deceptions, such as the ones that appear in The Daily Orange’s article, need to be replaced with factual knowledge in order to decrease harm and support safe use.

“There is no safe level of secondhand smoke exposure. Exposure to secondhand smoke can cause cancer in tobacco users and non-smoking bystanders,” said Katelyn Upcraft, public health educator at the county health department and coordinator for Colleges for Change. “Even separate smoking areas pose a health threat to our students, faculty and staff.”

Upcraft said her group wants to prevent SU students from starting to smoke and becoming addicted to tobacco. She said at least 400 col-leges and universities nationwide have outdoor tobacco regulations.

“Outdoor air acts are becoming increasingly prevalent around the nation at city and state lev-els,” Upcraft said. “Not just on college campuses.”

There are 4.3 trillion cigarette butts littered

annually, and it takes 25 years for them to decompose, according to the Wellness Educa-tion Services at the State University of New York at Buffalo.

“Reducing the environmental impact of tobac-co in the Syracuse University community sup-ports Syracuse University’s commitment to work toward an effective and effi cient plan to ensure a healthy and sustainable lifestyle,” Upcraft said.

Some students said they encourage the move to make SU a smoke-free campus.

“I feel like the only time my lungs get a break on campus is when I get home,” said Stephanie Narvaez, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. “I think the university puts a lot of importance around being green, so why not being smoke-free?”

But some smokers said they feel they are being forced to quit smoking as opposed to quit-ting by choice.

“I don’t think it is right for the campus to

force students to stop smoking,” said Michael Whalen, a fi rst-year law student. “We are young adults and should have the choice to whether we want to smoke.”

The creators of the blog have not come for-ward, and the exact reason for the blog’s privacy is still unknown. But its privacy raises ques-tions as to whether the law school and SU’s Offi ce of Judicial Affairs will continue their investigation into the blog and Len Audaer, a second-year law student, who is the only student suspected of writing it.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Edu-cation has been following the case closely and criticized the law school for limiting students’ expression.

“It looks like Syracuse has achieved the chilling effect on speech that some have been

looking for,” said Adam Kissel, vice president of programs at the foundation. “Syracuse is teach-ing students that they can shut down expression they don’t like, even though it is protected, just by fi ling a harassment complaint. This is a sad day for students’ rights at Syracuse.”

But many critics of the blog claim it did demonstrate harassment and could have been harmful to students’ well-being, especially in light of the damage online pranks have had at other schools like Rutgers University, where a male student committed suicide after his room-mate posted live online footage of that student in a sexual act with another man.

Gregory Germain, an associate professor of law, is leading the school’s investigation into the blog’s suspected writer, Audaer, after a fi rst-year student fi led a harassment complaint. Germain has said the blog is not only offensive but also potentially libelous. He needs neither to prove harassment nor libel to take action against Audaer, as the uni-versity is a private institution that does not need to uphold the First Amendment.

The blog had a disclaimer saying it was satir-ical and all the information was untrue. But posts included fake names as well as real names of students, many of whom had no idea their names were online or that the blog existed.

Germain said he has no reaction to and knew nothing about the blog going private, in an e-mail. He did not say whether its removal would affect the investigation into the blog or Audaer.

Audaer said he has not heard from the school about the investigation since his meeting with Germain on Oct. 18. Audaer neither denies nor confi rms that he is the writer of the blog. He said for whatever reason the blog was removed, he hopes it ends the investigation.

“There are people in this who want me to be a pioneer,” Audaer said. “But I never wanted this

to be a national news story. I also didn’t want the school to look bad. I just want this to stop.”

But Audaer said he feels the law school has dug its feet in and now wants to hold someone accountable for the blog. He said the investiga-tion has strained his relationship with profes-sors and administrators at the school.

“It has put a real barrier between me and my school,” Audaer said.

He also wonders why the university has not stepped in with an offi cial stance, he said. Mem-bers of the university’s administration have kept out of the public discussion about the blog. If Judicial Affairs becomes formally involved, the case will become a university matter just outside the law school’s jurisdiction.

Audaer has been talking with a lawyer about the case, he said. If the law school decides to con-tinue the investigation, he may bring a separate complaint against the school’s handling of his case to Judicial Affairs. Audaer said the school violated due process outlined in its own policies by withholding the evidence against him.

In the meeting with Germain, he told Audaer about the harassment complaint and that the stu-dent who fi led it would be major evidence in the case. Audaer still does not know what this impor-tant piece of evidence against him is, he said.

Roy Gutterman, director of the Tully Center for Free Speech and professor of communica-tions law and journalism, said Audaer might have a case against the school for violation of due process.

In this case, the blog does not demonstrate harassment, Gutterman said.

“Harassment has a specifi c legal defi nition,” Gutterman said, which includes persistent and threatening behavior. “A single reference on a blog is not harassment.”

Removal of the blog from public viewing dem-

onstrates self-censorship, Gutterman said. If the creators of SUCOLitis found it necessary to cen-sor themselves after being criticized by an insti-tution at SU, other students will probably feel the need to limit their public expression, too, he said.

“As far as setting a precedent, it does,” Gutterman said. “If you offend people, you’re going to get in trouble.”

STUDENT RIGHTSSyracuse University’s Policy on Student Rights and Responsibilities outlines a number of rights students have with regards to free speech and judicial affairs. Here are some directly from the policy website.

“Students have the right to express them-selves freely on any subject provided they do so in a manner that does not violate the Code of Student Conduct. Students, in turn, have the responsibility to respect the rights of all members of the University to exercise these freedoms.”

“Students have the right to fundamental fairness before formal disciplinary sanc-tions are imposed by the University for violations of the Code of Student Con-duct-as provided in the published proce-dures of the University Judicial System or other offi cial University publications.”

VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE OF CONDUCT“Harassment, whether physical or ver-bal, oral or written, which is beyond the bounds of protected free speech, direct-ed at a specifi c individual(s), easily con-strued as “fi ghting words,” and likely to cause an immediate breach of the peace.”

“Forgery, alteration, fabrication, or misuse of identifi cation cards, records, grades, diplomas, University documents, or mis-representation of any kind to a University offi ce or offi cial.”

PUSHING TO END SMOKING THIS NOVEMBERStaff at Syracuse University Health Services are pushing awareness of the effects of smoking in November in light of the Great American Smokeout to be held Nov. 18. This year marks the 35th Smokeout. The event is meant to:

• Encourage smokers to use the date as a target date to quit smoking

• Make known the risks of smoking

• Promote taking steps to living a health-ier life

• Make known the available options for helping smokers quit

• Hold parades, rallies, and stunts to get the word out about smoking

“I feel like the only time my lungs get a break on campus is when I get home. I think the university puts a lot of importance around being green, so why not being smoke-free?”

I n an effort to reach its goal of collecting more than 500 pairs of jeans by the end of October, Syracuse University has invited the State

University of New York College of Environmen-tal Science and Forestry to join Cotton Inc.’s college campaign.

ESF launched its participation in the “Cot-ton. From Blue to Green.” campaign with an event in Marshall Hall Wednesday, featuring promotional Frisbees, shirts and informational pamphlets. The national campaign to bring attention to sustainable housing construction will convert the donated jeans into sustainable, natural fiber housing insulation to be used by Habitat for Humanity.

Cotton invited five universities to participate in the campaign. ESF was not included, but SU offered to collaborate with ESF to reach its goal. SU has already collected more than 400 pairs during October through collection events and donation bins located around campus, said Shaylyn Decker, president of Green Campus Ini-tiative and senior environmental studies major.

GCI, a student organization that aims to promote sustainability at ESF, led the effort to bring the campaign to ESF and will oversee the

collection events and donation bin maintenance on campus until the campaign ends Oct. 31.

SU provided the student organization with the promotional products and collection bins, making it easy for ESF to get onboard, said Decker.

“It was so easy it seemed silly not to do it,” she said.

She said only a few people donated at Wednes-day’s event.

GCI will host two more collection events and end the campaign with the “Drop Your Jeans on the Quad” event on the ESF Quad at an as-of-yet undecided date.

It takes 500 pieces of denim to insulate a house. The natural fiber, called UltraTouch Cot-ton insulation, has already been used in 500 new houses in communities in need, said Andrew Dorr, a senior environmental studies major and energy coordinator of GCI.

To convert the denim to insulation, zippers and buttons are removed from the jeans and then shredded to revert the denim back to its original fiber form, Dorr said. The fiber is then treated with a nontoxic solution for mold and mildew resistance and fire protection.

The insulation is made of 85 percent recycled cotton and does not contain carcinogens, form-aldehyde or chemical irritants, according to the campaign’s website. It is the only insulation that contains an active mold and mildew inhibitor.

The campaign was originally launched in 2006 and collected more than 14,566 pieces of denim that year, according to the campaign’s website. The campaign saw a 110 percent increase in 2007, with more than 36,000 pieces collected. In 2009, 270,617 pieces of denim were collected and prevented 200 tons of denim from being sent to landfills. This year, several retail stores, including Gap, are participating in the campaign by offering customers discounts on new jeans when they donate old jeans. More than 270,000 pieces have been collected through

retail efforts alone, according to the website. Autumn Elniski, a freshman paper engineer-

ing major, said the transfer of jeans to insula-tion is a great idea.

“It’s a good substitute for things that aren’t biodegradable,” she said. “It’s a good way to recycle, so we don’t have to keep making things that are bad for the planet.”

Elniski said she hopes more schools and communities will take ESF and SU’s lead and incorporate recycling and sustainable materi-als into construction projects.

“ESF is a role model for environmental responsibility in New York,” Elniski said. “Hopefully, it will be integrated into the com-munity.”

Although the turnout for Wednesday’s event was smaller than expected, Decker said she thinks donations will increase once the cam-paign gets more attention on campus.

“We have about two weeks,” Decker said. “I think once we get the word out and people learn where the collection bins are, things will pick up.”

‘39 Steps’successfuladaptation

Fundraising Zombified students from Cayuga Community College invade

SU to generate money for Red Cross disaster relief fund

By Noah SilversteinContRibuting WRiteR

With expert acting and smart direct-ing, “The 39 Steps” is a hilarious comedy that uses farce to its fullest capabilities.

The play is based on John Buch-an’s 1915 novel and Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film of the same name. Four incredibly dynamic actors take on the many roles comprising groups of characters, unlike the original film’s large cast. Also contradictory of the original film, the serious story of espionage and murder has become a series of hysterical, action-packed scenes.

Set in London and Scotland in the 1930s, the story centers around Rich-ard Hannay and his misadventures with the law, spies and an ever-vary-ing cast of characters that appear along his journey for vindication.

Hannay is self-described as an average single man who rents a hum-ble flat in London. Falsely accused of murder, Hannay is on the run from the police, spies and vengeful assas-sins. The plot kicks into overdrive when he must keep a detrimental secret from being exposed. It is only at the end when the audience discovers the answer to the one question that had been a mystery the whole time: What really is “The 39 Steps?”

With such a complex and innately funny adaptation by Patrick Barlow, director Peter Amster had the huge undertaking of putting this play on at Syracuse Stage. With fast-paced timing and dialogue, Amster does a superb job of elevating the play to a level of humor that is much greater than anticipated.

Scene transitions are completely seamless with a minimalist set and prop use. Thankfully, this puts an extra focus on the performances of the actors. Scenic designer Linda Buch-anan lends a great hand in executing this aspect. Praise must also be given to Tracy Dorman for providing beau-tiful costumes for each character.

The performances were what truly made the piece soar. Nick Sandys’ por-trayal of Richard Hannay was noth-ing short of phenomenal. His comedic timing never lags, and his charm is undeniable. Every move made and word uttered was completely in char-acter. Being the only actor who played one continuous part throughout the play, he had the luxury of focusing on only one mindset. However, his emo-tions came realistically, standing out in many scenes against actors playing various comedic roles.

Blood gushed from their faces, dripping to the ground.

Their shirts were stained crimson red, symmetrically splattered across their chests.

As these visions of the undead limped down Comstock Avenue, moaning and growling with every stumble, the living did not turn and run for their lives.

They laughed.“The people driving by think it’s kind of funny,”

said Amy Rourke, a Syracuse resident.Rourke was one of the 127 people dressed as the

undead for the zombie Walk, which broke out Sat-urday afternoon. The walk, created by the Cayuga Community College Zombie Research Club, helped raise money for American Red Cross Disaster Relief. Brendan McCarey, the event’s creator, said the money might be needed for an eventual zombie apocalypse.

“We figured that would work well with zom-bies,” said McCarey.

Participants were allowed to walk for free, but were encouraged to make a donation to the fund. People who donated $5 or more received a blood-spattered T-shirt that read, “It’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.” Although McCarey said he

was hoping to raise a little more money, the walk made $700 in donations.

McCarey, a student at CCC, raised the dead at Syracuse instead of CCC’s campus in Fulton because he wanted a larger crowd. He said Syra-cuse’s size created the perfect venue for the flesh-eaters to roam free.

With fake chunks of skin hanging from their faces, the zombies lumbered down Comstock Ave-nue to Morningside Cemetery.

“If you see the humans, feel free to attack them,” McCarey said.

Sarah Nealis, who portrayed Annabella Schmidt, Margaret and Pamela, had a master-ful charisma and stage presence. Her charac-ters were completely different in their char-acteristics, and Nealis embodied each of them precisely. Most notable was the accents for her characters, each of different nationalities.

The incredibly dynamic duo of Rob Johan-sen and Joe Foust, who play Clown 1 and Clown 2, respectively, round out the cast. These two

fearless, highly skilled and rather shameless performers take on the responsibility of playing everyone else in the play. From spies to Scot-tish farmers to women, in some cases, these men completely commit themselves to even the smallest parts of the play. To say they stole the show would be an understatement.

“The 39 Steps” reminds us that even when difficulties present themselves in life, it’s OK — and even therapeutic — to just laugh. Some things may seem impossible to endure, but nothing is impossible to overcome.

drivers honked their horns and laughed. Pro-voked, many of the zombies would chase after them for a few yards, before returning to the mass.

“It’s fun doing stuff out of the ordinary and

catching people’s attention,” said Dylan Allen, a sophomore illustration major at SU. Allen, a self-professed zombie fan, said he missed out on the campus-wide zombie game, “Humans vs. Zombies,” last April, but was glad he could find an alternative.

“(We’re) a bunch of zombie fans out there ready to show it,” Allen said.

With no students to feed on in the cemetery, the zombies became cannibalistic. Shaw Dining

Center wasn’t going to cut it. Some chased after one particular victim among the crumbling headstones until they caught a zombie. Tackling the fellow member of the undead, the zombies swarmed him. But zombies can’t eat other zom-bies, so a mauling had to suffice.

Despite the blood and carnage, some zombies were glad others would benefit from the group’s acts of savagery. “It’s a good cause, and it’s great people came out,” said Pat Collins, an Oswego resident who helped McCarey organize the event.

Entering the back side of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry campus, the zombies began look-ing for food. The growls grew louder, the limp-ing legs shuffled faster.

Begrudgingly, these zombies obeyed traffic laws. Crossing the street from ESF to SU cam-pus, the zombies stopped, allowing for traffic to pass through. “Zombies don’t give a s*** about traffic,” said one zombie as she waited to cross to SU.

After roaming through the cemetery and

an abandoned ESF campus, the zombies finally found what they had been looking for: flesh. As students walked to Archbold Gymnasium, zombies would run up to them, snarling and clawing for a meal. When they passed tennis courts, some zombies would sprint toward the fence and shake them.

But even in the face of the undead, SU stu-dents couldn’t help but crack a smile.

“It’s a weird approach, but it’s very unique,” said Guy Campbell, a freshman public relations major. “I just wouldn’t have known it was for the Red Cross unless somebody came up and told me.”

As they left campus, the zombies managed to resist their craving for human brains, and no students were hurt. Wiping the blood from their faces, the zombies later met for a Halloween party at Funk ‘n Waffles. All of the money raised at the party also went to the Red Cross.

“The zombies look great, we’re having fun. That’s what matters,” McCarey said. “We’re doing a good thing.”

The aroma of freshly cooked wings filled Wal-nut Place as Kappa Alpha Theta hosted its first wing-eating contest, Wing It, Friday evening.

“I think it was a huge success,” said Kerry Kindinger, the philanthropy chair of the Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity chapter at Syra-cuse University. She said the crowd was so large she couldn’t see over the spectators’ heads.

The proceeds from the event, around $1,300 total, will go to a local Onondaga County branch of Court Appointed Special Advocates, Kind-inger said. The group works with abused and neglected children involved in county court. The women’s fraternity’s national branch has had a relationship with CASA for around 50 years, Kindinger said.

A tent set up in Walnut Park covered a row of tables and chairs arranged for the participants. The women’s fraternity played Top 40 hits from its house at 306 Walnut Place. Signs covered the front porch, declaring the event name with the assertion “Don’t be a chicken.” Kappa Alpha Theta house’s chef cooked the approximately

3,000 wings on site. All participants were required to wear a

black shirt bearing the design for Wing It: a skull and cross made of wings instead of bones. The shirts were also available to non-partici-pants for $5. There was no limit to the amount of participants per student organization, but greek contestants were limited to five participants per group, Kindinger said.

The tables under the tent were set with a dish of wings, a cup of water for each participant and extra wings in the middle. In total, there were four rounds of wing-eaters: one group of girls and three groups of guys. A Theta sister stood behind each participant and recorded how many wings he or she ate. At the end, the sisters held up a sheet that had the total number of wings consumed by each competitor.

The girls ate first, taking their seats and anx-iously staring at their dish. Ripping the wings apart, they feasted as their friends and the audi-ence cheered them on. About halfway through the round, a chant erupted: “Eat that meat!”

At the end of the round, some girls were only able to get through seven wings, but others, like winner Jessica Wolfe from Phi Sigma Sigma,

ate 22. “I could’ve ate more,” said Wolfe, a sopho-

more fashion design major, after her friends helped her clean up with wipes. “I wasn’t really tasting them, I was inhaling them.”

The guys were the next to eat. Wolfe stayed, waiting to see if the male sitting in her former spot would “uphold the winner chair.” Instead of the lengthy five-minute round, the guys only had three minutes to scarf down all the wings they could stomach.

Tearing into the meat with sauce splashing across their faces and coating the tips of their fingers, the contestants pressed on.

After three minutes of yelling and cheering, the whistle was blown. Results ranged from 14 wings to the winning 44 wings consumed by Joe Scrofani, a junior sport management major from the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He cleaned up, removed his iPod ear buds, from which he listened to music during the competition, and said he “could eat more.” Two smaller groups of guys competed, with winning results of 28 and 18 wings, respectively.

The girl and guy contestants who ate the most wings received a $25 gift certificate to local

restaurant Wings.A Facebook group was created for the event,

and e-mails and text messages were sent out to student organizations. Theta has fundraised for its philanthropy with numerous other events, including a flag football tournament in the spring, called “Theta Bowl,” and a designer jean sale. Kindinger said the jean sale was replaced with the wing-eating contest because of the small funds the sale brought in.

Kindinger said it is a possibility the event will be done again next year because of the suc-cess from this year.

“The most important thing is everyone has fun,” she said.

re-emPhasIze the CharaCtersYes, “Glee” was never extremely plot-driven, but there were some ongoing storylines that fueled viewers’ anticipations. Extend Quinn and Sam’s romance; add some drama to the mix, like Puck or Finn becoming jealous. More tension never hurt anyone (at least not immediately).

no more musIC vIdeosThere must be a reason why MTV stopped airing them so much. The beauty of the musi-cal numbers diminishes when it turns into a full-blown music video found in a bathroom or dream sequence. Let’s go back to singing in the music room.

dIfferent voICesA good thing about this season is that charac-ters other than Rachel get to sing. At the same time, she still overpowers every song. As for Mercedes, her soulful voice is great — just not when she holds high notes for an entire num-ber. How about some variation?

sell the show, not the Itunes traCksWhen “Glee” first started, artists were afraid to have their songs remade. Now everyone wants a “Glee”-done track. That doesn’t mean every-one should get one, though. Only songs that fit in the show should make the cut in. Paramore’s “Only Exception” didn’t need to be redone, but it was anyway. Stick to a plan, not just random tunes.

With Fox’s ‘Glee’ coming up flat, here are the best ways to get the show back in key

By Kelly OutramSTAFF WRITER

T hey’ve done Madonna, they’ve done Britney, they’ve even done “Yentl” (yeah, it was odd). But tomorrow, “Glee” finally tackles a film theme. In

honor of Halloween, this week’s “Glee” episode takes on “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” In theory, the episode should be great — talented singers taking on an old clas-sic — but with the way this season is panning out, it’ll end up being another flop.

The Emmy Award-winning comedy currently suf-fers from a case of good ideas with bad execution. The writers’ grand ideas and commitment to cover every song ever written has overshadowed the gems that made “Glee” special last season. Character development, interesting storylines and the whole idea that “being who you are is good enough sometimes” take backseats this time around.

Finn and Rachel’s annoying puppy love crossed the threshold of cute into disgusting with Rachel’s neurotic

ego taking center stage. The beautiful friendship that blossomed between Quinn and Mercedes never comes up, and now Brittany breaks hearts. One of the show’s biggest selling points, the students’ relationships, feels awkward and disjointed in favor of more songs.

The best episode thus far, “Faith,” felt forced. The sub-ject matter pulled heartstrings, but the actual acting fell flat compared to the monologue Kurt’s father gave when he overheard Finn call Kurt an inappropriate name. The burgeoning romance between Quinn and newcomer Sam has potential. But the fact that they fell for each other, went on a date and became a couple all in one episode weakens the “aw” factor viewers developed watching Finn and Rachel or Tina and Artie come together.

So “Glee” isn’t quite what it used to be, and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” episode won’t cure the sec-ond-season slump. But here are five suggestions “Glee” can use to save this season and avoid the same problems in its third season.

sue meLet’s be honest, Sue Sylvester’s (Jane Lynch) character is a show staple. Her lack of filter and obsession with competitive cheerleading give viewers a lot to laugh about and make them root for those kids in New Directions even more. She needs to refocus on taking the club down, despite her random act of kindness of keeping the club going at the end of the first season

19-14 victory over WVU (5-2, 1-1 Big East) — its first since 2001.

With the win, Syracuse brings back the Schwartzwalder Trophy, given to the winner of this game each year.

“We weren’t playing to (preserve) the win,” junior defensive end Mikhail Marinovich said. “We were playing to attack, attack, attack. … That’s the mindset we went out with.”

After allowing WVU to score touchdowns on two of its first three possessions to start the game, the SU defense clamped down. What started with a Phillip Thomas interception at the goal line, with the Orange trailing 14-10, ended with SU celebrating at midfield after holding the Mountaineers scoreless for the final

three quarters.Thomas’ interception proved to be pivotal,

as were the two interceptions by linebacker Doug Hogue. Overall, with the three turnovers, five sacks, and point total and yardage allowed, the performance was easily SU’s most impres-sive defensively. Especially after allowing 45 points to Pittsburgh just a week ago inside the Carrier Dome.

“Last week, we were very disappointed,” senior middle linebacker Derrell Smith said. “We went down to South Florida two weeks ago, got a win and maybe there was a relaxed feeling. But we took care of it fast after that Pittsburgh loss.”

After a Hogue interception on WVU’s first possession set up a Syracuse field goal, the Orange grabbed some initial momentum. The next three possessions all ended in touchdown celebrations — two by the Mountaineers and

one for the Orange.But with Thomas’ interception, the Mountain-

eers missed an opportunity to go up 21-10, and the Orange kept pounding the ball and taking points. Kicker Ross Krautman made four field goals, the longest of which came from 33 yards out.

The Orange also implemented a few pack-ages that defensive coordinator Scott Shafer had been keeping in his back pocket for such an occasion. That allowed SU to put pressure on Smith and neutralize such an explosive offense — one that entered the game ranked third in the Big East in total offense.

“West Virginia is a great football team,” SU head coach Doug Marrone said. “There is no plan or anything to beating a West Virginia football team. The only way is you go out there and you play your heart out. … And at the end of the day, you hope you can execute better and take advantage of maybe some miscues. And we

were able to do that.”With the win, the Orange surpassed its win

total from last season, Marrone’s first on the job, and allows SU to take one step closer to its first bowl bid since 2004. It also puts the Orange in second place in the Big East after eight weeks.

Until now, beating West Virginia was some-thing the players and coaches had only dreamt about. But stopping a driving WVU offense in the final minute changed all that. And the final sack secured it.

“There was a lot of pressure to keep them out of the end zone,” Hogue said. “But it was amazing. We just played solid football, stayed disciplined and got the job done.

“It’s still settling in on me. It’s just a great feeling.”

By Allison GuggenheimerStaff Writer

Ian McIntyre sat alone at the end of the bench. There was still 15 minutes left to play in Sat-urday’s 3-0 loss to Rutgers, but the deflated coach abandoned his usual post, standing a few yards to the left of midfield for the solace of the

covered bench. So there he sat.McIntyre, the Syra-

cuse men’s soccer coach, had just watched his team surrender three goals to the worst team in the Big East. An SU defense that kept the team in numerous games while the offense struggled had just broken down on three separate occa-sions. His offense, which has struggled to score all season, repeatedly created and then botched all its chances.

“I was tired, I think emotionally and physi-cally,” McIntyre said.

The back four was unable to stay on its men, letting the Rutgers offense slip into the middle almost uncontested. Although the Syracuse (2-8-5, 0-4-3 Big East) defense allowed Rutgers (4-9-1, 1-6-0 Big East) to muster only eight shots,

more than one-third of them found the back of the net.

Despite having a consistently solid defense, McIntyre said he decided to switch things up in search of an offensive spark. He moved senior outside back Justin Arena up to midfield, put-ting Nick Bibbs, who played defensive mid-fielder for most of the season, into Arena’s spot.

“Nick Bibbs is a good defender,” Arena said. “And if I’m going to play up top in a wide posi-tion, someone like Nick Bibbs is perfect back there. He’s a good defender, he’s fast, he’s good with his feet.”

But McIntyre’s decision resulted in the first goal.

Bibbs matched up on the right side of the field with Rutgers midfielder Nate Bourdeau. Bibbs said he was not marking Bourdeau tight-ly enough. So when Bourdeau got possession down the sideline, Bibbs’ tackle did not come off cleanly. The ball deflected off Bourdeau to Rutgers’ Yannick Salmon, who was waiting in the middle of the field. Salmon’s shot went into the upper corner of the goal, nowhere near SU keeper Jeremy Vuolo.

Minutes later, Arena was back on defense.“I don’t think it was working as well as I was

hoping it would,” McIntyre said. “It looked good on paper.”

But even with the back four intact, the defense was still not able to find a rhythm. The second and third goals both came on addi-tional defensive errors. Bourdeau, yet again, caused trouble down the line, getting inside on defender Robbie Hughes and knocking the ball into the middle. The player waiting there was not being covered and tipped the ball in easily.

And the final goal was simply a matter of not marking. Salmon was unmarked in the middle of the box and headed the ball unchallenged into the goal.

“The second goal — I don’t know how their striker was so open to get the toe poke into the corner,” Bibbs said. “Well, he came across one of our center backs. That can’t happen. … We’ve got to be tight on our marks. The third goal was just — you need to have the courage or some-thing to win the ball in the air. He had a free header and just banged it right into the corner. Those types of goals can’t happen.”

The offense provided little support. Although its attacks came close every time, no one was able to finish. Seven corner kicks and a few good crosses left the ball in the center of the Rutgers box, but Syracuse could not settle the ball. The team had 19 shots to Rutgers’ eight and still lost 3-0.

With conference play coming to a close, a win Saturday would have put the Orange in a good position to clinch one of the two remaining Big East tournament spots. A loss, however, means it is clinging to sixth place. With two games remaining this season, the team will need to win both to guarantee a postseason berth. On Wednesday, Syracuse will face No. 2 Louisville, which is undefeated in the Big East.

So with only a few days, after a loss to the Big East’s worst team, to prepare to play the confer-ence’s best team, Bibbs said SU has a lot to work on in practice.

“We need to work on finishing more,” Bibbs said. “And I think individual defending we’ll work on a lot this week before Louisville comes in.”

anyway. They may have known of the explicit cockiness exhibited directly across Mountain-eer Field behind the smoke and mirrors.

They may have orchestrated their own synchronized taking of the field. Whatever the case, the Syracuse players made their official entrance to Mountaineer Field the same way their coach won the game. The same way their coach is quietly making this program one that is already becoming envied across the Big East: Coming straight at you in the face of what you do, whether it be taking the field or with an ambush of an offensive game plan.

Praise from Dave Wannstedt to Bill Stewart in back-to-back weeks in polar situations speaks to that. Prior to Saturday, the envy was mostly because of what was transpiring off the field. Saturday, it was all exhibited on it.

A total team. It was a new SU, peeking out of that own figurative haze and peaking as a program in the land of Appalachia. Led by Marrone, of course, for a national audience to familiarize itself with.

But more than anything else — more than Doug Hogue’s national defensive Player of the

Week accolades and Scott Shafer’s continued ruckus-inducing pressure defense — Saturday was the showcase of Doug Marrone. It was his moment. It was his game. And it was the perfect example of it occurring his way.

No masquerading of Hogue at running back. No last ditch experimenting with Cam Dantley at quarterback. And definitely no dancing after his biggest win yet. He already has two Big East road wins, more than Greg Robinson tallied in his entire tenure.

No, there would be no dancing for Marrone. There was animation, however: Barking at refs, sprints down the sidelines and many colorful instances chewing out his offensive linemen. But it was all real. As was the win. It felt total, and it was.

Saturday, Marrone’s vision swallowed, whole, the tunnel vision that encompassed Morgantown. It’s the same one that included a plan all along to coach at Syracuse. It was one that weeded out the Robinson leftovers that weren’t fit for the kind of total team that played Saturday. One that has maintained every team is the same and every win is the same — West Virginia included. One that says little to the media, and even less after a win the multitude of Saturday’s.

All the animation is saved for his team, his

guys. But even after the win, there was that little from Marrone. Instead, there was the scene of his players’ own SU kind of “Country Roads” celebration. They had earned it.

As they crowded near their tunnel before re-entering it, rejoicing and dancing in front of the sparse Orange fans that had made the trip, Marrone let his players have the spotlight. He stood removed from the stands, behind his play-ers. Still with that stoic, business mindset and emotion draped all over his face.

He has said he doesn’t want to make a big deal out of things — and hasn’t. Everything is a small step.

But re-entering that tunnel before lineback-ers coach Dan Conley ran back again to save some of the emotion with one last look and picture of the scoreboard, Marrone had to know what just happened. He perfected a plan for it, after all.

After nearly 700 days of coaching in national obscurity, the smoke cloud is gone. There is no more hiding.

Doug Marrone is for real.And from now on, everyone will at least try

to be ready for him. Now they know.Tony Olivero is an assistant sports editor at The

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Doug Marrone envisioned his offensive game plan as a chess-board. He would block man-on-man, stacking extra pawns at the offensive line. And Syracuse would run rampant in Marrone’s “Big” forma-tion against West Virginia’s vaunted No. 4 run defense all game.

“It was a chess match,” Marrone said.Checkmate.Marrone’s plan for SU to attack West Vir-

ginia’s 3-3-5 defense with its “Big” two-tight end, two-back formation was practiced to perfection in the Orange’s 19-14 upset. It also helped to manage the game just as Marrone intended. The offensive success put on a show for the rest of the Big East against the supposed brick-wall WVU defense.

It was a show that starred running back Delone Carter for 18 minutes. For the remaining 42, it showcased the entire Syracuse offense and Marrone’s NFL-bred knack to devise in the face of an opponent’s strength.

“Our philosophy is to win running the foot-ball,” Marrone said. “And you have to, because if you get into a passing game against (West Virginia), we would have been in trouble. … So we put ourselves in manageable situations throughout the game.”

Thanks to the changeup in SU’s loaded-line formation Saturday, the Orange attacked WVU with the time-churning, ground-heavy attack. It accounted for 183 yards in the game and 72 percent of SU’s offensive plays.

In the first half, it was about throttling the Mountaineers for 19 points. In the second, it was about keeping the SU defense fresh and preserv-ing that lead over the course of a half with nine consecutive punts.

But it wasn’t Carter’s show, as the starting running back went down with a bruised right

hip at the start of the second quarter — the same side of his dislocated hip that kept him out of the 2007 season. After he left the game with 12 minutes left in the second quarter, having set the tempo with 77 yards rushing on just nine attempts — including a 46-yard sprint — Antwon Bailey would have to carry out Marrone’s plan.

Carter had ripped the air out of Mountaineer Field. Now Bailey had to keep the silence.

“(Carter) came up to me at halftime, and he said he had something going on with him, and he wanted me out there 100 percent rather than him out there the way he was,” Bailey said. “He said it was my show.”

The game started by going to Carter, Cart-er, Carter on first through third downs, with Ryan Nassib handing the senior the ball to bull through the WVU defense. In the second quarter, it just as quickly became Bailey, Bailey, Bailey. The 5-foot-8 running back picked up right where Carter left off, rushing for 94 yards on just 19 carries. In the process, he enabled SU to keep with the “Big” formation for the rest of the game. SU rushed the ball 28 times to just 11 Nassib passes after Carter was injured.

With West Virginia adjusting to SU’s game plan by stacking more bodies in gaps, the Orange responded with its own change of pace.

But it was change of pace that would remain within the ground-heavy game plan. Just when the Mountaineer faithful and the WVU defense were sure it was Bailey exclusively, freshman Prince-Tyson Gulley entered the fray. Gulley, who could barely swallow days ago with swollen tonsils, rushed for 19 yards with a long of 11 in the second half.

Gulley was the last part of a show stamped with the “run the ball down your throat” men-tality for which SU tight end Jose Cruz said the offense fully prepared.

“Everyone went man for man,” Cruz said. “We picked up blocks, and there were pieces on the outside of the defense, and we hit them. They tried to bring different looks in the second half, and we picked them up.”

By the end, SU had run intelligently with the formation, as it became more of a clock-burner than a point-provider. The SU backs were kept out of the end zone in the last half. But the game was one managed by the SU offense throughout.

And because of its “Big” formation, Nassib was able to end the game surrounded by an even bigger one: the victory formation.

“Game plan is great,” Nassib said. “And the rest is history.”

Martina Loncarica has a tendency to step up in big situations. The junior midfielder had four game-winning goals coming into the weekend.

But with the conference championship on the line and No. 4 Connecticut deadlocked in a

scoreless tie, Loncarica proved she still had a few late-game heroics left in her bag of tricks.

Just under six min-utes into double overtime

on Saturday, Loncarica took a pass from fresh-man Leonie Geyer on a penalty corner and blasted the game-winning goal into the right corner of the cage for a 1-0 victory. The goal clinched SU’s third straight Big East regular season title, locked up the top seed in the con-ference tournament and lifted the No. 8 Orange (12-4, 5-0 Big East) to its fifth overtime win of the season.

“We’re pretty much professionals at over-time, so (it’s) like our thing,” junior back Nicole Nelson said. “We’re always really confident when we go into overtime. We really, really wanted this game, so we didn’t think about losing at all.”

Nelson and the rest of the SU defense main-tained that confidence throughout Saturday’s game against UConn (13-4, 3-2 Big East), which averages three goals per game. Sunday, the Orange used that confidence to defeat No. 14 Boston College, 3-2.

Against the Huskies, sophomore goalkeeper Leann Stiver was a wall behind them with 11 saves in her return to the field after missing three games.

The defense stayed strong during a num-ber of UConn’s opportunities, including a key stretch of the first overtime during which the Huskies seemed to be on the brink of snatch-ing the game away. Freshman back Laura Hahnefeldt was sent off with a yellow card for nearly the final five minutes of the period, but several defensive stops and a miraculous diving save by Stiver kept the Orange alive. SU always found a way to come up with a stop, despite being outshot 15-11, and head coach Ange Bradley said that resiliency was the decisive factor in the game.

“I have to give the kids a lot of credit, they stepped up and they competed,” Bradley said. “It was very much a defensive battle. UConn is just such a good team and such a good pro-gram, and it was a matter of who was finally going to break.”

Bradley said the thrill of the victory over a top-five team provided momentum heading into Sunday’s game against Boston College (10-6). But there were negative lingering effects as well. As a result of the length and intensity of the UConn game, fatigue and a lack of focus were potential issues for the Orange.

But despite players performing at less than full strength, the Orange found enough stam-ina to win, again riding the strength of the defenders to a victory over the Golden Eagles.

Sophomore back Amy Kee assisted on a goal by sophomore back Iona Holloway on a corner and added a goal of her own, and Loncarica fittingly provided the game winner on a penalty stroke with 5:11 remaining.

Kee said practice during the week focused more on UConn, but the preparation carried over because BC has a similar playing style. One of the main aspects of getting ready for the Huskies was working exhaustingly on penalty corners, and that made a significant difference on Sunday as SU was able to con-vert in that situation.

“It was a major thing for us because we’ve had a history of not scoring goals against UConn, so we practiced that a lot this week,” Kee said. “We scored the first goal from that today, and obviously it was very important to get on the scoreboard.”

The extensive mental and physical prepara-tion have paid off for Bradley’s squad, not only with the Big East title but also the current five-game winning streak that includes four victo-ries over ranked opponents. Amid the many lineup changes and cloud of questions about the team’s unity, the streak and performance from the weekend have Bradley optimistic about SU’s potential to close out the season.

“I’m really excited about the growth of our team, and we’re really starting to come togeth-er,” Bradley said. “To get back-to-back wins at this time of year against two top teams, it says so much for Syracuse.”

M ORGANTOWN, W. Va. — Chandler Jones glanced up at the scoreboard. Eight years of

waiting, and Syracuse was on the cusp of something big. Through the game’s fi rst 59 minutes, the Orange had played arguably its most impres-sive game of the season to this point.

But with just a minute remaining, No. 20 West Virginia was driving.

“I looked back at the clock and there was one minute and three seconds left, and I was like, ‘This is it, the game is on our shoulders,’” Jones said.

Hanging onto a narrow fi ve-point lead, SU wouldn’t budge. Twenty yards

from the end zone, the Orange rejected three consecutive attempts to gain any positive yardage by the explosive WVU offense. And on fourth-and-22, with just 49 seconds remaining, Jones, Anthony Perkins and a blitzing Sha-marko Thomas reached West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith for SU’s fi fth sack of the game.

Just like that, in front of 58,122 at Milan Puskar Stadium, eight years of Mountaineer domination came to an end. Led by a stout defense that allowed just 99 yards of total offense and zero points in the second half, the Orange (5-2, 2-1 Big East) crashed West Virginia’s Homecoming with a

If only they knew. Tunnel vision is a fi ckle thing.

Minutes prior to the start of a
