Evanston had the second highest police presence in 2012 in Illinois, behind the city of Chicago, according to data from the FBI.

The city reported a total of 223 full-time law enforcement staff, or 29.8 per 10,000 residents. Chicago had 47.1 employees per 10,000 residents.

The FBI’s police employment data was collected from agencies that serve popu-lations of more than 50,000. Employees included sworn law enforcement officers and civilian employees, such as clerks, cor-rectional officers and radio dispatchers.

CPAH begins demolishing 3rd city houseBy Stephanie Kellythe daily northwestern @StephanieKellyM

Eighteen months ago, a 31-year-old Lake Forest resident and her husband bought a house from the Community Partners for Affordable Housing that otherwise would have been too expensive for them to buy. On Saturday they helped demolish a foreclosed and vacant Evanston house so another family

would have that same opportunity.

“People did that for us when we wanted to move back into the neighborhood,” Mar-garet Allen said. “They worked on our house, and, frankly, I think it’s a solid program.”

CPAH buys fore-closed or vacant houses and resells them at a more affordable price.

Volunteers worked at the site on Hartrey Avenue on Saturday for CPAH’s service day and will continue their work on May 31 to complete the demolition.

From there, a contractor will be hired and supervised through CPAH to fix the building.

The nonprofit, which also works in Lake

Forest and Highland Park, decided to part-ner with Evanston last spring. This is the third house in Evanston that CPAH has rehabilitated.

“We go in, we buy houses, we fix them up and we have a really good track record,” said

Amy Kaufman, director of community rela-tions at CPAH. “After some conversation, the city decided they wanted to partner with us to work on (affordable housing) efforts.”

Kaufman said there was pressure to get as much work done as possible Saturday because

the rented dumpster was so expensive. In the end, the volunteers did not finish as much work as they wanted to, Kaufman said.

“Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs,” Kaufman said.

Most of the work done Saturday was in the site’s backyard.

After splitting into groups at the beginning of the day, the group of about 20 took down the pool structure, the shed and rotted wooden structures and cleared broken glass around the lot. They worked for about three and a half hours.

Among the volunteers was Evanston Town-ship High School football player Rei Gaines.

“Coach wanted to find a couple of guys who could come out and give a couple of hours early in the day, so I decided why not,” the junior said.

Gaines said not only would he do it again for the community service, but as a way for the team to bond.

Allen and her husband volunteer whenever they can because Allen said the organization exemplifies what the community is all about. As a homeowner of a CPAH house, Allen said she’s seen what the organization supports.

“It’s just a really nice way to be a part of the community when you otherwise couldn’t afford it,” Allen said. “They really seek people who are interested in the community values, in being a part of the community.”

Police arrest man in connection with residential burglary

Evanston police arrested a man Thurs-day in connection with attempted residential burglary.

Officers responded to a suspicious person call

Thursday afternoon in the 900 block of Asbury Avenue. Police arrived on scene and learned a man had tried to enter a home through a kitchen window.

A witness gave police a description of the 28-year-old suspect. The man, who is from Roll-ing Meadows, Illinois, attempted to elude police but was eventually taken in to custody and iden-tified by the witness, police said. Charged with

attempted residential burglary and possession of burglary tools, he is on parole from the Illinois Department of Corrections for residential bur-glary, police said.

He is scheduled to appear in court May 29.

Burglar steals 3 packages from south Evanston apartment

A burglar stole three packages from the

common area of a south Evanston apartment, police said.

The packages, which contained books and clothing, were taken from a building in the 500 block of Michigan Avenue throughout early May. The burglar most recently took a package on Wednesday.

About 400 Northwestern students, faculty, staff and alumni volunteered Saturday afternoon for the fourth annual NU Gives Back, the largest student-run day of service at NU. This year, a record of about 470 volunteers signed up for the event.

“We were very excited about the turnout,” said Communication junior Jocie Padgen, co-president of NU Gives Back. “It went absolutely wonderfully. Everything went very smoothly, and all of the feed-back we received has been really positive, so we’re really excited about that.”

Participants volunteered in different locations throughout Evanston and North Chicago. This year’s sites included Curt’s Cafe, an Evanston restaurant that employs at-risk youth and The Talking Farm, an urban farm in Evanston.

“Our goal is to both give back in some small way to the Evanston community that gives so much to us, as well as spark a desire to continue to give back in our participants,” Padgen said.

Padgen said one of the goals for this year’s event was to maintain participants’ enthusiasm between registration and the actual event. She said the NU Gives Back team also changed the way they received feedback from volunteers. Site leaders distributed an initial survey at the event and plan to send a follow-up survey as well. Padgen said site leaders also led small discussions where participants could reflect on the day’s experiences.

“I think the change we’re most excited about is to connect it back to why,” she said. “Where can we take this? What can we do to use what we have gained from this experience?”

To kick off the morning, volunteers listened to speaker Sara Schastok, the president and CEO of the Evanston Community Foundation. Schastok talked about the importance of the relationship between NU and Evanston and shared some of her experi-ences to discuss the value of giving back.

Participants then headed to their assigned sites for an afternoon of volunteering. Weinberg freshman

Dorianne Ma said she learned about NU Gives Back through a friend. Ma volunteered at Asian Youth Services, a Chicago organization that tutors and mentors at-risk youth after school. Ma and other team members moved boxes and shelved books for the organization, which is currently changing locations.

Although she has little experience volunteering, Ma said she hopes to participate again next year.

“I think it’s important to give back to the commu-nity,” she said. “It offers you so much in return.”

Weinberg sophomore Dean Meisel echoed Ma’s sentiments. As a first-year volunteer, he said he was drawn to the program by its mission of “inspiring people to get involved beyond just three hours on a Saturday.”

“Maybe these three hours aren’t going to make a very big difference, but it could inspire people to get involved in their community and blur the lines

between Northwestern and Evanston,” Meisel said. “We’re trying to really make people aware there are some really awesome organizations five minutes away from us that are working to do good.”

Padgen said NU Gives Back partners with differ-ent organizations every year. She said each year they try to evaluate which organizations are providing a valuable experience to participants and which are not, and they are always looking for new groups to work with. Because Evanston is limited in size, cur-rently NU Gives Back has had to limit its registration to less than 500 participants.

“We’ve definitely had some difficulties finding enough organizations to work with, but we are look-ing to expand in the coming years to allow more of the Northwestern community to participate,” she said.e

SPEND WINTER 2015 IN WASHINGTON D.C.

Have you ever dreamed of rubbing elbows with the movers and shakers on Capitol Hill? Would you like to learn how D.C. operates from the inside as legislators, the Obama administration and advocacy groups grapple with key issues facing the country?

The Northwestern undergraduate program in Washington is an exciting opportunity for students to gain invaluable knowledge and experience about how DC operates, working as interns in the mix of organizations involved in a variety of important national issues while taking seminars in privacy and civil liberties in an era of National Security Agency scandals, and presidential power versus congressional clout.

The program, which provides four units of academic credit through the internship/practicum and two seminars, also gives students the oppor-tunity to forge ongoing relationships with organizations and companies in D.C. that have yielded subsequent internships and jobs. The program is offered every winter quarter so that students are there to witness either an inaugural address or a State of the Union address. Students work out of Medill’s D.C. Bureau at 1325 G Street, NW, Suite 730, about two blocks from the Metro Center subway stop.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Winter 2015 program, attend a meeting on Friday, May 16, at 11am in McCormick Tribune Center, Room 3-127.

If you are interested but can’t attend the meeting, please contactProf. Ellen Shearer at [email protected].

Page 4: The Daily Northwestern - May 12, 2014

When is the one time where you are cel-ebrated just for being you? What is the only day out of 365 that you get presents and parties and love from everyone? That one time, that single day, is your birthday. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone was able to experience that more than once a year? Yes! While we should be doing this on a regular basis for our loved ones, we often leave it to just one day out of the year. That is why half-birthdays are so fun and important.

Perhaps one of the best reasons to celebrate half-birthdays is because they provide a way to avoid seasonal problems. This allows for fun times that might not be had in other times of the year. For example, my little sister’s birthday is February 1. In the 17 years she has been alive, it has always been cold and snowy during her birthday. Because of this, she has never been able to have a birthday party outside. There are so many fun party activities — like pool par-ties or trips to the zoo or barbecues – that are impossible to do in the winter. Half-birthdays provide an opportunity for people to have the party of their dreams even if their birthdays fall in an unfortunate season.

Conversely, half-birthdays are important for college students with birthdays in the summer who want to celebrate with their friends. For example, some of my sorority sisters’ birthdays

fall during Northwestern’s summer break. This means that I won’t get to celebrate with them because we will be in different towns, states or even countries. By celebrating half-birthdays, we

are able to show everyone, no matter what sea-son their birthday is in, that we value them by rejoicing with them.

Similarly, half-birthdays ensure that people

get the recognition and celebration that they deserve. If your birthday falls on another holiday like Mother’s Day or Christmas or Halloween, other people’s attention is likely to be elsewhere. You didn’t pick your birthday so there is no way to prevent it from falling on a holiday. Half-birthday celebrations provide people with another day that is all their own. If your birthday is on December 25, your half-birthday on June 25 is totally free for people to focus on just you!

Another reason to celebrate half-birthdays is that they offer an occasion for you to enjoy yourself. Often, as people get older and take on more responsibilities, they can feel guilty about buying things for themselves. I know that once I started college and had sorority dues on top of my usual financial obligations, I stopped pur-chasing things for myself. I feel guilty spending any money on myself because I know my money should be used for my bills or saved. By celebrat-ing a half-birthday and a regular birthday, I now have two excuses to splurge and buy myself a little something without feeling guilty.

Basically, half-birthdays are a reason to cel-ebrate life and for others to celebrate it with you. It is important to have more than one day to show how grateful you are for your life and for you to see how much others appreciate you. Half-birthdays promote positivity and a love of life. Is there really anything better to celebrate than that?

The benefits of celebrating your half-birthday

Graphic by Virginia Van Keuren/Daily Senior Staffer

Whether sitting in the back of Harris 107 listening to political science professor Jona-than Caverley talk about the state of the U.S. Armed Forces or scanning CNN headlines, we’re constantly reminded of the country’s status as a superpower. In 2011, 20 percent of the U.S. federal budget went toward defense and security spending, totaling $718 billion; dwarfing the defense budgets of all the poten-tial challengers to the United States. That year the United States spent more on defense than the next 13 highest-spending countries combined.

With all of this power comes the inevitable question of what to do with it. Since the end of the Cold War, when the United States became the world’s lone superpower, four American presidents have grappled with this huge question, each choosing a slightly differ-ent foreign policy path. Both Bush presidents used American firepower to wage war against Saddam Hussein’s autocratic regime, while former President Bill Clinton used it to inter-vene in humanitarian crises in places like the Balkans and Somalia. But in his first five years in office, President BarackObama seems to be charting a somewhat different course.

A recent article in The Economist posed the question “What would America fight for?” making the case that under Obama, the United States has inched back from its highly involved role as the global policeman just when that role is most needed. The article points to recent events in Ukraine, the South China Sea, Syria and Libya as instances of American reluctance to overcommit, with the

result of emboldened autocrats like Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and Syria’s Presi-dent Bashar al-Assad carrying out their per-sonal agendas unchecked by American power.

The article got me thinking about our own generation and the kind of foreign policy that most resonates with us. By and large, I think that Obama’s response to that question actu-ally mirrors the response that we might give to the question “what would millennials fight for?” So I decided to come up with a biased, completely generalized and unscientific list of things that I think we millennials care about most when it comes to foreign policy, as a means of answering that question.

Human rights: Human rights concerns are central to millennials’ foreign policy consid-erations. We closely follow stories about the civil war in Syria, the Boko Haram kidnap-pings in Nigeria and human rights abuses in China. We tweet, post, discuss, decry and debate about America’s moral obligation when it comes to humanitarian intervention.

Military de-escalation: When it comes to actually discussing what that interven-tion would look like, our generation is for the most part cautious about direct military involvement. Having grown up with the United States simultaneously fighting two vast and costly wars, we’re fairly averse to the idea of starting up another war or intervening in an ongoing one.

Social justice: With more stridently liberal views on issues like same-sex marriage, gen-der equality and racial equality, we want the United States to improve its own record and to be a force for social justice abroad.

The American economy: We want jobs and iPhones. This is a huge factor in our for-eign policy considerations, leading us to favor a world order of free trade and globalization. We were born into a decade of relative peace and prosperity while enjoying the fruits of a

booming 1990s economy, and want to main-tain the economic interconnectivity that has produced the material comforts that so many Americans enjoy.

Positive American image abroad: We want the United States to be seen as a positive force, in addition to being one. At Northwest-ern, we make friends from all over the world and want our country to represent a force for good, neither overly arrogant nor jingoistic.

Climate change: By and large, most mil-lennials see the looming threat of climate change as a massively important problem. We want to see real international action on the issue and want the United States to be a world leader in combating it.

So where does this leave us? Given these considerations — which of course aren’t necessarily unique to our generation — the answer to the question “what would millen-nials fight for?” closely resembles Obama’s actual foreign policy. We want to sanction Russia, for example, for its violation of inter-national law and its treatment of LGBTQ Russians, and we want to the stop bloodshed in Syria. But because our formative years overlapped with the peak of two simultane-ous wars in Asia, I think we are too wary of overcommitment to argue for military intervention. In the end, whether or not we agree with his domestic politics, I think our generation would agree with the idea, as Obama outlined in a recent interview, “you hit singles, you hit doubles; every once in a while we may be able to hit a home run. But we steadily advance the interests of the American people and our partnership with folks around the world.”

EPD partners with IDOT, state police to enforce seat belt laws

The Evanston Police Department is working with two state organizations and hundreds of local law enforcement agencies for a campaign to strongly enforce seat belt laws, particularly on Memorial Day weekend.

EPD Cmdr. Jay Parrottsaid the collaboration with the Illinois Department of Transportation and the Illinois State Police helps put more officers on patrol on major holidays like Memorial Day that “tradition-ally have a higher rate of no seat belt usage, injuries and accidents and drinking and driving.”

“It’s a focused effort for these specific types of viola-tions,” Parrott said.

There were three fatalities, two of which were alcohol-related, and almost 600 injuries on Illinois roadways during last year’s Memorial Day weekend, police said.

Even though the campaign runs May 9-26, Par-rott said the IDOT has various programs that run throughout the year.

The Illinois safety belt laws require each driver and passenger to wear a seat belt. The overall seat belt usage rate for rear seat occupants was 77.4 per-cent compared to 93.7 percent for drivers and front seat passengers, according to statewide observational surveys conducted by the IDOT in 2013.

Back seat passengers in Illinois accounted for 46 fatalities, 30 of which occurred when the person was not wearing a seat belt, and more than 5,000 injuries, police said.

The campaign is not limited to Evanston. Other participating communities include Franklin Park and Naperville.

“We received money from IDOT, that’s grant money provided by the state to various police depart-ments throughout the state of Illinois,” Parrott said.

Ciara McCarthy contributed reporting.

Motorcyclist killed in Sheridan Road crash

A man died Saturday morning after he crashed while driving a motorcycle northbound on Sheridan Road, police said.

The man has been identified as Chicago resident Maxwell M. Cronk, 38, Evanston Police Cmdr. Jay Parrott said.

The accident occurred at about 7:40 a.m. near Cal-vary Catholic Cemetery, 301 Chicago Ave., Parrott

said. Cronk was not wearing a helmet and “lost con-trol at a high rate of speed,” Parrott wrote in an email to The Daily.

Cronk was pronounced dead after being trans-ported to the hospital, Parrott said.

Sheridan Road was shut down in both directions between South Boulevard and the Chicago border and was still closed shortly after 11 a.m., Parrott said.

Evanston police and the regional Major Crash Assistance Team are investigating the incident.

conservation about what mental health is. They are seeing us get active and seeing the big group that we are.”

Students began the march at Norris University Center before passing through The Arch and con-tinuing the event going north on Sheridan Road.

Amanda Meyer, the incoming co-president of Active Minds, said she was pleased with the turnout and excited about the response from campus.

“I think the cool thing about the walk is that it

is physically bringing awareness about an issue to campus because we are walking around and we have signs,” the Weinberg junior said. “People are noticing who we are and they are probably going to start asking questions and thinking about it.”

Emily Yau, a Weinberg sophomore and a mem-ber of APO, said the march served to bring mental health to the forefront of people’s minds.

“I think that it is nice for people to get to remind everyone that we all need to keep working to reduce stigma and make mental illness something that can be talked about on campus,” she said.

Stomping out Stigma ary hansen, the incoming co-president of nU active minds, John dunkle, executive director of CaPs, and amanda meyer, the incoming co-president of nU active minds, lead the “stomp out stigma” march Friday. this was the first year the event was held and more than 60 students participated.

a different feel than last weekend’s Philfest, an out-door concert that was a collaboration between A&O and Students for Ecological and Environmental Development.

“Its primary purpose is to kind of be a concert outside and to celebrate spring in a way that’s a little different from Philfest, a little more high energy, in the tradition of kind of more of a festival style concert,” Mowitt said.

Although entry was free, there was a $5 suggested donation. Money was raised through the sale of origi-nal posters as well, which Mowitt said had been selling well throughout the day.

“Every year the poster design is completely differ-ent,” Mowitt said. “It’s a really beautiful poster so it’s kind of a commemorative item for you to take away from the concert, and of course the proceeds go to a good cause.”

DM spokesman Ross Gordon, a Medill junior, said the group also organized small activities during the event to raise money for DM. Between the two artist’s sets, a water pong table was set up as part of the effort to raise funds and to give students an activity during the intermission. Gordon said the event served as a great way to kick off the group’s fundraising efforts.

“We’ve started our canning already and it’s just always a great way to start off the 2015 fundraising season with this great collaboration with A&O,” Gor-don said. “Just trying to get people outside, being active and enjoying the nice weather that we finally have.”

Energy remained high throughout the day as stu-dents continued to trickle in and out of the Lakefill area. Students lounged outside of Norris and crowded up by

the stage as the bands engaged with the audience.A&O concerts chair Morgan Hecht, a Communica-

tion junior, said she was enjoying the band’s set, adding that students had been expressing excitement about the featured artists at this year’s event.

“For concerts, Benefit is one of our favorite shows just because we can bring bands that we love, and everyone may not know them yet,” Hecht said. “Magic Man and Cheers Elephant have a following, and a lot of people came up to us and said, ‘Oh, I’m so excited about Magic Man,’ or, ‘I’m so excited about Cheers Elephant,’ because they’re great performers and people like their music.”

Prior to the start of the concert, an announcement was made at NU Gives Back, a student-run day of service held Saturday morning, encouraging students to attend Benefit.

Weinberg sophomore Dean Meisel said after vol-unteering for NU Gives Back, the concert served as a great opportunity to unwind for the rest of the day.

“It’s a super nice day and the bands sounded great, and we are just relaxing after NU Gives Back,” Meisel said. “This is kind of the perfect thing to do to chill out in the afternoon.”

Mowitt said there was a great turnout, and the co-sponsorship between A&O and Dance Marathon gave the event the added benefit of helping an important organization in addition to drawing students outside to relax and enjoy the weather.

“It’s definitely in the spirit of collaborating with other great organizations on campus. We always really love working with DM,” Mowitt said. “It’s kind of like a concert first and then we also have the great oppor-tunity of it being a philanthropy.”

A bill championed by state Sen. Daniel Biss (D-Evanston) that would broadens existing state regulations on drones passed the state House on Friday.

The bill amends the existing Illinois drone sur-veillance law — which Biss also sponsored — that went into effect at the start of the year. It now moves to Gov. Pat Quinn for approval.

The original law requires police departments in Illinois to obtain warrants before using drones for surveillance, granting exceptions in cases of emer-gency. The amendment would broaden the law to also require a warrant for law enforcement to obtain information collected by privately owned drones.

“I’m confident that the law we are now fine-tuning will protect Illinois residents’ civil liberties but also enable the use of some very valuable tools for law enforcement and disaster response,” Biss said in a news release.

The drones the bill aims to restrict would be small, unmanned aircraft police departments could use to take photographs or record audio or video.

The passage of the bill comes about a year after the Evanston City Council passed a two-year mor-atorium on drone use in the city.

Ald. Jane Grover (7th), who drafted the legisla-tion passed by the council, said the Evanston law would help protect the rights of city residents.

“Many of us are concerned about the lack of regulation for these unmanned aerial systems,” Grover said in support of the Evanston drone ban at a Human Services Committee meeting last year.

The bill passed both houses of the state legis-lature unanimously.

obama hopes to win over votersMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — President Barack

Obama capped a weeklong focus on climate change with a push for greater energy efficiency, a pitch par-ticularly attuned to reaching two groups: big-dollar donors in the green movement and activists once inspired by his 2008 ambition to heal the planet.

Both groups will play a role in turning out Demo-cratic voters in November, a crucial factor for the party’s hope to retain control of the Senate. But Obama has faced palpable frustration among some supporters who had hoped for more progress on his 6-year-old promises.

Although he notched some early accomplish-ments, such as increasing fuel economy standards for automobiles and placing limits on air toxins from new power plants, he abandoned his pursuit of cap-and-trade and major energy legislation because of opposition in Congress.

More recently, though, Obama has pleased the environmental community by again delaying a deci-sion on the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which environ-mentalists oppose.

It wasn’t easy, but with a win Sun-day, Northwestern earned its way to the rematch it craves.

The No. 5 seed Wildcats (13-6) defeated No. 16 Louisville (16-4) 11-8 on Sunday at Lakeside Field to advance to the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in Gainesville, Florida. There, the Cats will meet No. 3 Florida, a team that has already dealt NU two heartbreaking losses this season, one in the regular sea-son and one in the ALC Tournament.

“Obviously, I’m very excited to make it to the next round,” coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said. “We had some really great moments (Sunday).”

The Cats had to work hard to advance to the next game. They trailed 4-5 early in the second half but took over from there.

Junior attack Kara Mupo netted a pair of scores 10 seconds apart in the second half to restore the Cats’ lead, later fol-lowed by a goal from senior draw control specialist Alyssa Leonard and another from Mupo that gave NU an 8-5 lead.

NU maintained at least a 2-goal advantage the rest of the way.

“We wanted to stay aggressive,” Mupo said. “We wanted to keep push-ing in transition. We were really effec-tive because all seven people on offense were doing their job. We played great

team offense.”Leonard — the NCAA’s all-time leader

in career draw controls — dominated the circle Sunday. The senior faced stiff com-petition, Louisville’s Kaylin Morissette, who ranked second in the nation in draw controls this season. But Leonard won nine draws to Morissette’s three, leading the Cats’ possession offense.

“Leonard is excellent on the draw,” Louisville coach Kellie Young said. “Leonard had a great day. Giving their attack possession is going to give them a chance to score.”

NU struck first Sunday, as junior mid-fielder Jess Carroll netted the game’s first goal just over a minute in. But Louisville’s Courtnee Daley responded with 2 scores in the next two minutes and then with another later in the half to give her team a 3-1 lead.

After a flurry of action in the opening minutes, NU slowed down the game and limited Louisville’s offense.

“They are very fast and aggressive and effective,” Amonte Hiller said. “We adjusted to how hard they were going out in the transition. Once we kind of stopped their initial push we were able to cause some turnovers.”

Freshman midfielder Sheila Nessel-bush recovered a loose ball and scored to bring the Cats within a goal, then Carroll tied the game with her second of the day. With 4:18 to play in the half, sophomore Lauren Murray scored to gave NU a 4-3 lead going into halftime.

The Cardinals scored the first 2 goals of the second half, but Mupo and com-pany made sure the Cardinals never truly threatened again.

NU had an answer to every Louis-ville threat the rest of the way. Later in the half, Leonard and senior midfielder Christy Turner scored before Mupo iced the game with her fourth of the day, bringing the total NU goals to 11.

With 12 seconds left and the game in hand, the officials paused the game to discuss a call while NU huddled in its half of the field for the last time at Lakeside Field this season.

“We all took a deep breath,” senior Kerri Harrington said. “I looked at the seniors and I was like, ‘Let’s enjoy this last 12 seconds.’ Who knows what the next round is going to bring, but it was really nice to take a deep breath, look at the setting and really soak it in.”

The Gators beat Denver 19-9 on Sun-day to set up the rematch.

Northwestern’s season is over.Entering the NCAA Tournament

with high hopes, the No. 30 Wildcats (21-11, 7-4 Big Ten) fell in the first round Saturday to No. 38 Mississippi (16-13, 4-8 SEC).

“We wanted a better result in the tournament,” coach Arvid Swan said. “So we’re definitely not satisfied there. But as a whole, I thought it was a good season. I’m really proud of this group. They came to work for us every day and improved throughout the year.”

NU started out 1-4 in conference play, battling a number of injuries, but fought back to win its last seven regular-season matches and the first two rounds of the Big Ten tournament. This included four straight shutouts over Wisconsin, No. 51 Minnesota, Iowa and No. 34 Purdue.

The doubles teams especially improved. The Cats couldn’t seem to consistently win the doubles point in the first half of the season, but they snagged it in nine of their last 11 matches, including against Ole Miss.

Both the duo of sophomore Fedor Baev and freshman Strong Kirchheimer and the No. 39 duo of senior captain Raleigh Smith and sophomore Mihir Kumar nabbed their matches Saturday. The pair of freshman Sam Shropshire and junior Alex Pasareanu led 7-5 when play in their match was halted.

But after gaining a 1-0 lead, NU did not win another point.

“We started off with pretty good momentum in singles,” Swan said. “We won the first set in several spots, but Ole Miss did a really good job in second sets to gain some momentum back. If we could have just maintained the momentum from the first set to the second set, maybe it could have made a

difference at the end of the match.”Although Kumar and Pasareanu

each won their first set, they fell 7-5 and 6-4 respectively in their final set. Fresh-men Konrad Zieba and Kirchheimer dropped their matches in straight sets, handing the Rebels the victory. Meanwhile, No. 49 Smith and No. 107 Shropshire, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, were each in neck-and-neck final set battles when their matches were suspended.

“The final score may have been 4-1,” Swan said, ”but if you look at the indi-vidual scores, that match really could have gone our way just as easily as it went theirs.”

Even with the first-round exit, Swan is proud of his team’s accomplishments this season.

“We have a really young team,” he said. “To finish somewhere around 30th in the country is a significant accom-plishment for such a young group.”

Now, the team focuses on the next year without Smith, the team’s lone senior and captain.

“Our goal is just to continue to try and get better as a program,” Swan said. “We’re losing an outstanding player and captain in Raleigh Smith, so that’s not going to be easy at all. We’re going to need some guys to step up.”

Taking Smith’s roster spot will be incoming freshman Logan Staggs. Staggs is a blue chip prospect according to TennisRecruiting.net and has ranked at times as the fifth highest recruit in the nation.

And with so many returning pieces, the expectations are high. Swan said he plans to bring his team to the next level in 2014-15.

“For us, the season starts in the sum-mer,” he said. “The guys start working out and getting better in the summer to continue to advance the program.”

Cats top Cardinals to set up Florida rematch

By mike marutdaily senior staffer @mikeonthemic93

No. 28 Notre Dame ended No. 16 Northwestern’s season Saturday, edging over NU 4-3 in an NCAA Tournament second-round match coach Claire Pollard called “gut-wrenching.”

After winning the doubles point, the Wildcats (20-7, 10-1 Big Ten) won two more singles matches, while the Fighting Irish (18-9, 8-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) won three other singles matches to tie the match at three points apiece. The match came down to No. 6 singles, with senior Nida Hamilton facing off against Notre Dame sophomore Julie Vrabel. After being down in the final set five games to four, Hamilton fought her way back to force a tiebreaker at six games each.

“Nida played an amazing match at the end,” said senior Belinda Niu, who had won the Big Ten Tourna-ment in similar fashion. “The num-ber of match points she saved while she was scrambling during the point was just amazing. It’s just sad because I know how terrible she must feel now, but she’ll realize, when she’s reflecting back on the match, that she really did perform as well as she could. She fought to the bitter end. We’re all very proud of her.”

Hamilton fought off several match points from Vrabel and forced the tiebreak to go beyond the usual sev-en-point threshold but she ultimately fell 9-7.

“I really feel for her,” coach Claire Pollard said. “It’s tough to be the last one on and the loss is not really your fault. Her tenaciousness, heart and grit at the end really speaks volumes

to her character. We were fortunate to get lucky a few times, but we just ran out of lives.”

Leading up to the breathtaking match, the Cats were denied any breaks, as the Fighting Irish were at their throats throughout the after-noon. At doubles, each court reached the tiebreak, so each played out all 15 games in the one-set contests. After a win for NU at No. 3 doubles, with Niu and freshman Brooke Rischbi-eth overcoming Notre Dame’s Mary Closs and Molly O’Koniewski 8-7, senior Veronica Corning and soph-omore Alicia Barnett fell to Notre Dame 7-8 at the No. 1 doubles court. The pressure fell to Hamilton and her partner, freshman Maddie Lipp, to claim the doubles point once and for all.

“We were playing our game and doing our plays,” Pollard said. “We made a few mental mistakes like let-ting (their opponent) play balls down the line, but it was tight out there. We just did not do a good enough job capitalizing on leads, which would’ve

made the match a little bit easier. We were struggling, struggling and hanging around, but I think it came down to we did not have enough experience against good opponents outdoors.”

Although NU was eliminated from team competition, the season is not yet over for several of the Cats’ top performers. The University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia, is host-ing the NCAA singles and doubles championships along with the team tournament. Niu and Corning, the Cats’ No. 1 and No. 2 singles players, were selected to compete in the sin-gles championships while the duo of Corning and Barnett, who is a Daily staffer, was selected to compete in the doubles championships.

Niu led NU with a singles record of 29-6, while Corning racked up a record of 24-14. Corning and Bar-nett, the Cats’ No. 1 doubles tandem, have amassed a record of 23-12 overall.
