service.
After sharing his impressive
array of international experi-
ences, Lamontagne primarily
spoke about his largest non,profit
endeavor as a chair member on
Paul Newman's Hole in The Wall
into a global movement of more
than 30 camps and programs
worldwide.
To date, the Hole in the Wall
Gang Camp has hosted roughly
443,221 children since its incep-
favorite meal and song com-
bined," Lamontagne said.
The Director of the Emerging
Leaders Program, advisor and co-
ordinator, Robin Torres, believed
the event was a great success.
"I think Ray LaMontagne's ex-
periences are significant for stu-
dents on many levels," Torres
said. "Through his stories, it is
obvious that pursuing what you
want most and not what you want
in the moment is a key element of
success. His philanthropic work
is evidence that when you give
passion, purpose and intention to
your community, the una·ntici-
pated gifts you get in return are
rich, rewarding, and life-chang-
ing."
Among his other notable
achievements is his involvement
in a plethora of nonprofit organi-
zations such as the Asia Society,
the Japan Society, the Population
Council, and the Agricultural De-
velopment Council.
In 2007, Lamontagne was
granted the John D. Rockefeller
Jr. Founder's Award for a lifetime
of philanthropic a:chievement by
Historic Hudson Valle'y, the mu-
seum of historic sites. Today he
serves as chairman of the New

This past weekend, Marist wel-
comed the masses of guests for its
annual Family Weekend activities.
Family and friends of the student
body enjoyed several on-campus pro-
grams as well as local Hudson Val-
ley attractions. Courtesy of the
Office of Student Affairs, a
full
itin-
erary of events and entertainment
was positively received and amassed
an impressive attendance this year.
The weekend kicked off on Friday,
Sept. 27 with a MCCTA sponsored
murder mystery dinner. This year's
performance was titled "Death on
Broadway'' and it involved an inter-
active performance and participa-
tion from the audience. The Marist
Band, Orchestra and Singers also
provided added entertainment for
the evening in the McCann Center
with performances dedicated to in-
ternational music.
Saturday held a
full
day of activi-
ties, some of which included Hudson
river boat cruises, bus trips to the
Walkway Over the Hudson, bus
service to an apple orchard, wine
tasting excursions and a carnival on
the campus green. Students and
their families had a plethora of op-

based on their attendances.
The wine tasting excursions in-
cluded transportation to two of the
Hudson Valley's acclaimed orchards,
the Clinton Winery and the Mill-
brook Winery. For those who at-
tended the Marist Country Fair on
the campus green, families were
treated to carnival games, free
and old-time photos were some of
the several attractions enjoyed by
those who attended.
A major highlight of the weekend
was the concert held Saturday
evening. Lauren Alaina, former run-
ner-up on Season 10 of American
Idol, took the stage in the McCann
Center Arena. The country star has
2011 album release titled "Wild-
flower."
On Sunday, Sept. 29 families spent
the final day at a community mass
held in the McCann Center. The
final event of the weekend was a
farewell barbeque at Marist's River-
front Park. Games, activities, and
live music were some of the added
elements at the scene overlooking
the Hudson River.
"The boat ride was nice and really
scenic,"said Rebecca Pratt, a Marist
senior who took part in Family
Weekend. "It was a pretty ride and
the tour guide taught us a lot about
the surrounding area in the Hudson
Valley. My parents really enjoyed
the farewell barbeque on Sunday. It
was a nice set up being down by the
riverfront.Overall, it was nice being
able to spend time with my parents
and show them around campus."
Based on social media and up-
loaded photos of students and their
families at the various campus
events, the weekend appears to have
been a success. Many students can
agree that taking part in some good
old-fashioned R&R with their fami-
lies provided some much needed re-
lief from college stress.

Explosive week for Marist students

It's only our second time writing
these briefs and we're already see-

mostly smoke) and alcohol are the
main culprits again this week.
Hopefully, the future will hold
more creative and exotic wrongdo-
ings on Marist's campus, but until
that time ...
this
is what we've got.
From sophomore i:n-eptitudes to

Class
of 2017
inaugurates
$GA online campaigns
By
KATHLEEN O'BRIEN
SGA Columnist
Freshman year serves as the com-
mencement of the next phase of life
for students entering college; a time
and place to experiment and try new
things. The freshmen elections not
only represent that opportunity for
the Class of 2017, but also for the fu-
ture of the Student Government As-
sociation.
These
elections
inaugurated online campaigning,
which also served as a trial run for fu-
ture
elections.
Online campaigning was approved
last year by the DiBlasi-Gelok ad-
ministration. The bill allowed online
campaigning by the candidates, how-
ever the elections commission strictly
monitors it. SGA
will
now determine
if
they
will
continue to use online
campaigning and voting in the spring
semester.
·
Annmarie Morris is the current
elections commissioner. She was re-
sponsible for coordinating the entire
election, and ensuring that all rules
were adhered to. This was Morris'
first year in her new role, and she had
the
_
added pressure of implementing
this new aspect of campaigning. De-
spite this, she considered the online
campaigning successful and drama
free.
SGA was wary about allowing this
form of campaigning due to the in-
crease of cyber bullying in the past
few years. To prevent such activity,
Morris and her commission followed
all of the candidates' sites
on
Face-
book,
Twitter and Instagratii.
In
ad-
dition the commission required that
each candidate sign a spirit clause.
The spirit clause dictated that
if
any
inappropriate behavior occurred, it
would result in immediate disqualifi-
cation. Fortunately, the spirit clause
did not need to be used.
Facebook was the primary social
media outlet of campaigning used by
the candidates, as evidenced by the
Class of 2017 Facebook page. Candi-
dates posted their fliers on the page
as well as the
link
to the voting page
during voting week. Most candidates
didn't start campaigning online until
the week voting took place.
Overall, online campaigning proved
to be a success. Out of the approxi-
mate 1200 students in the Class of
2017, roughly 500 voted, making the
percentage around 40%, a major in-
crease from last year. According to
Morris, the elections were clean and
drama free, and she hopes to use the
online system again in the spring.
"[Online campaigning] had a defi-
nite impact because it gave people the
opportunity to click right on a link
making it easier and more accessi-
ble," said Morris.
Student Body President Deborah
Akinwunmi agrees that the process
was seamless, and open for expan-
sion.
"I
believe online campaigning went
very well," said Akinwunmi. "It
is
def-
initely at the
beginning
stages, but
the Elections Commission did a fan-
tastic job monitoring everything and
ensuring that things went very
smoothly."
However,
the
implementation of the
online factor did not detract from the
human aspect of the campaign. A.t the
information sessions,
Morris
stressed
the use of face-to-face campaigning.
Although it
is
an old tradition, it still
produces results time and time again.
'Talking to people
is
a great oppor-
tunity to put yourself out there and
meet
people,"
said
Morris.
"Face-to-face campaigning makes it
more memorable, and I think that
people took advantage of it."
There were a few problems that
plagued the elections process such as
the absence of an official SGA room
due to construction, technical prob-
lems with speech night and one
dis-
qualification. One candidate was
disqualified for sliding fliers under
peoples' doors. A similar problem
arose during the student body presi-
dential election last year, but no
repercussions followed.
This
year, the
policy was greatly stressed, and the
commission was left with no choice.
However, the particular candidate
re-
mains positive and still hopes to
be
involved in SGA.
According to Morris, positivity and
enthusiasm were common traits
dis-
played among the majority of candi-
dates. It was shown through their
lenient attitudes and creative, ener-
getic speeches.
In
addition, some of
the defeated candidates expressed in-
terest in becoming involved in SGA
despite not being elected.
Twenty five candidates ran for the
eight available positions. The final re-
sults are as follows: Brandon Heard
as resident senator, Eric Vasquez and
Giananthony Damasco as commuter
senators, Brittany Foulds as histo-
rian, Jillian Mooney as treasurer,
Lulu Colon as secretary, Don Luise as
vice-president and Katie Kilgallen as
president.
Kilgallen was vice-president of her
class in high school and knew she
wanted to be involved in SGA in some
capacity. However, she decided to run
for president after listening
to
Akin-
wunmi's speech to the freshman
class.
"Her speech had a huge impact and
I wanted to become involved," said
Kilgallen.
'1
wanted to model my first
year after hers and it
is
a surreal feel-
ing."
In
regard to online campaigning,
Kilgallen utilized the Class of 2017
Facebook page, but relied mainly on
face-to-face campaigning as a way to
meet people and add a personal
touch. Like Morris, she commented
on the easy accessibility to the voting
site that online campaigning allowed.
Overall, the election process was a
great opportunity to meet people, es-
pecially at the speech night event, ac-
cording to Kilgallen.
For her first year in office, Kilgallen
plans to continue the precedent set by
these elections. She plans to imple-
ment the theme of unity by connect-
ing her class through personal
interactions as well as through tech-
nological resources.
"I want to create a bond in our class
and use technology such as Twitter,"
said Kilgallen. "We are the largest
class on campus and it
is
important
to make a home here."

Cheaper world traveling for students abroad
By
ELENA EBERWEIN
Circle Contributor
The idea of studying abroad has
over time, become a given experi-
ence to college students.
It
is an as-
sumption that students will at
least spend one semester of their
college years abroad.
In fact, Europe is the most popu-
lar study abroad destination, for
it's diverse countries and cities to
choose from, and the ability to eas-
ily travel to other countries while
you're there.
While it is possible to travel on
your own while abroad
,
there are
new travel groups emerging that
make traveling stress-free and fun.
Bus2Alps is one of these groups
that makes traveling to new places
while abroad easy and affordable.
Before studying in Florence, Italy
last year, I had heard about
Bus2Alps because of the Oktober-
fest trip they run out of Florence as
well as other locations.
I wasn't really sure how to travel
on my own yet, so I booked the trip
which for 229 euro, included break-
fast every morning, an equipped
tent, a day trip to Dachau, a con-
centr.ation camp u.sed dwing
World War II, and round trip
transportation via coach bus to
and from the festival.
It ended up being one of the most
fun weekends I had in Europe, and
through this trip, I learned of the
other deals and trips Bus2Alps had
to offer.
For instance, on Black Friday of
last year, Bus2Alps held a sale in
transportation via coach bus and
cruise ship, accommodations at the
Pink Palace party hostel, and din-
ner every night. Sales like this
happen a few times a year on the
bus2a ps.com

A

called Bus2Alps helps students affordably travel to other coun-
tries
within Europe while studying abroad.
which trips, ranging from day trips
to entire spring break trips, were
on sale for anywhere from fifty
to
twenty-five percent off.
I scored trips to Austria, Croatia,
Venice Carnevale, and a long
weekend in Greece. The Greece
deal was 135 euro for round trip
website.
On each trip they also offer addi-
tional activities you can pay for
if
you're interested. For example in
Salzburg, Austria I paid extra
to
go
on the Sound of Music bus tour
through the snowy Austrian Alps.
In
Greece you could rent ATVs, or
.
go on a day long booze cruise which
included cliff-jumping and time on
a deserted private beach.
While all of this may sound too
good to be true, there are down-
sides to using a travel group such
as Bus2Alps.
The bus rides are long. So
if
you
aren't gre~t with long times on the
road, it may not be the right choice
for you.
Also, because it is an organized
group, it may have more of a school
field trip feel to it than
if
you were
to plan a trip on your own. Not in
the sense that they monitor what
you're doing, but ha~ng to meet
the group at certain times and also
having to wait around for the
group while in transit.
Bus2Alps also offers job opportu
-
nities for college students and
graduates. It's a great way to

Tips for making some extra cash at Marist
BY BRITTANY

going out, new
clothes, new shoes, gas, food ... the
list could go on and on.
Unfortunately for college stu-
dents, there seems to be a whole
lot of things that need to be pur-
chased ... and yet, not a lot of
money in the bank to purchase
them.
And with so many classes and
extracurricular activities bom-
barding your schedule, going the
extra mile to actually find a job
can seem really daunting.
Luckily, there are plenty of part
time job opportunities for stu-
dents looking to make a little cash
on the side, and perhaps even
boost up their resume as well!
At Marist, there are actually
many on and off campus jobs
available, which can be found
right on their main website.
So instead of spending hours at
a time searching for possible job
openings on Craigslist, students
can just make a few clicks to find
the right job for them.
Finding a job on campus can be
really beneficial for the Marist
student who lives on campus.
It
allows for them to have the option
to walk to work instead of driving.
This can also be really great for
studeJ1ts because it helps save
money on gas as well.
Having a job on campus can also
ma-ke many more jobs available
to
students who may not have a car
on campus
.
If
the jobs that are available on
campus aren't what you were
looking for, there are also many
off campus jobs available too.
On Marist's webpage, there is a
section for student employment.
If
a student is interested in finding
an off campus job position, all
they have to do is click the off
campus job option! Once they do
thiE:i, they will be transported to
the JLD program page.
Once a student is enrolled in
this free program, students have
the opportunity to choose from a
whole list of jobs.
These jobs can range from jobs
in babysitting,restaurants, educa-
tion, hospitality, healthcare, law,
and many more.
Each job gives a detailed de-
scription about where the job is lo-
cated, how much the student will
be paid, how many hours the stu-
dent will have to work, and the
number of available job openings.
Once the student enrolls with
the JLD program, they will then
have to choose four jobs that in-
terested them the most. Then
soon, they will be e-mailed on how
to get in contact with the employ-
ers from those four jobs, and will

finally have a chance to get the job
they desired.
One underappreciated source
for potential jobs for students is
the employment bullitan board in
Donnelly Hall next to the Finan-
cial Aid and Services Office. The
bullitan board is updated regu-
larly with jobs available both on
and off campus that pay well for
college students.
When choosing a job however,
keep in mind to try to choose a job
that not only will give you the
extra cash you desire, but will also
have something to do either with
what your major is, or maybe just
something that you may have
some sort of interest in.
This way, you can learn more
about yourself and do what you
like to do all at the same time.

Inng-distance
relationship survival guide
By
NADIA AHMED
Staff Writer
Balancing schoolwork, activities,
friends and family is a lot to handle.
One aspect of this balance that stu-
_
dents have mixed feelings about is
the long-distance relationship. Long-
distance relationships are not made
for everyone. Whether you are con-
sidering a long-distance relationship
or are already in one, consider these
helpful hints from other Marist stu-
dents with experience on the topic.
Whether your significant other is at
home or at a different school, the bot-
tom line is tha~ you two are apart for
long periods of time. Students gener-
ally go without seeing their signifi-
cant other between two weeks and
two months. It is hard to see each
other often, especially freshman year
when you don't have a
car
on campus
and the cost or time of transportation
is expensive and inconvenient. Even
so, you need to make a commitment
and take advantage of any opportu-
nity you get to see one another. Rela~
tionships require some sacrifice and
compromising.
As
long as both people
are willing to put in effort and work
together, the relationship is off to a
good start. Couple should take
turns
visiting each other.
''When you have the opportunity to
visit.
you should
take
advantage
.of
that and spend quality time together
or do something special because the
time that you have together is so spe-
cial," said Melanie Walsh, a junior
currently in a long-distance relation-
ship.
At the same time, however, be re-
spectful of one ahother's separate
lives. You
go
to different schools for a
reason. Kristen Mateja, a junior in a
relationship .of over four years, thinks
it
is
important to enjoy college and
not be too demanding of one another.
Texting, phone
calls,
Skype and
Snapchat should become your best
friends. Texting
is
the most conven-
ient form of communication. How-
ever, texts do not express emotion
and can
be
staggered throughout the
day. Therefore, you have to take the
time out to
talk
on the phone at least
once each day. Even a simple call be-
tween classes
is
a way to let them
know you're thinking about them.
When you do
talk,
it's important to
keep each other updated and let him
or her feel involved in your life at
school. Talk in detail about your
classes, activities and things you did
during the day. The little things you
do mean a lot and make your signifi-
cant other feel special. Use Skype
every now and then so you have the
chance to see each other's face.
This
is the closest you
will
get to being to-
gether and having the sense that you
are
in the same room. Your best bet is
to
wan
ahead
so you both
have.
time
to sit down and commit
to
the Skype
call.
The number one tip from students
concerning long-distance relation-
ships
is
establishing trust and respect
for one another. Without trust the re-
lationship has no foundation and the
distance between you makes
it
easy
to lose trust
as
well.
"If
you don't have that confidence in
your relationship and there's no pas-
sion or love between you two, then it
probably won't work out," said Alexa
Steinman, a junior in a two-year re-
lationship.
Also,
be careful with social
media because pictures and com-
ments from other girls or guys spark
jealousy and can be misinterpreted.
When you are faced with tough
times and get into an argument,
think before you speak. Your emo-
tions may get the best of you so take
some time to relax and calmly discuss
an issue later before jumping to con-
clusions. Most importantly,
if
a prob-
lem arises, do not avoid it. Issues
need
t.o
be discussed and solved while
they are fresh and new rather than
having them return later.
Sometimes it is difficult to decide
whether a relationship is worth fight-
ing for or ifit
is
time to go your sepa-
rate ways.
If
your boyfriend or
girlfriend
is
always on your mind and
you truly
miss
them, these are good
signs. On the other
hand,
when you
begin to lose interest, communication
becomes a chore, you feel constrained,
you grow feelings for another person
or you begin to change yourself to
make the other person happy then
it's time to re-evaluate the relation-
ship. A relationship should make you
happy and make you feel like a bet-
ter person. Avoid staying in a rela-
tionship for the wrong reasons.
"If
you both really love each other
as much as you think you do, then
you
will
end up getting back together
after some time off.
If
you don't, then
you guys weren't meant to be," said
Steinman.

Deciphering girl and guy codes at Marist
By
AMANDA AORE
Staff Writer
There
is
a common
saying:
you can't
live with the opposite sex, but you
can't live without them. Since the be-
ginning of time, guys and girls have
had difficulties understanding one an-
other. It seems like they talk in
"codes'' that the other sex cannot quite
understand. Girls and guys
are
both
unsure
of how to act in front of one an-
other, unsure of what the other deems
as acceptable and unsure of how to
pursue each other without completely
blowing it.
MTV's series "Guy Code" and
"Girl
Code" help to shed some humorous
light on the way-too-familiar miscon-
ceptions of sex and romance held by
both genders. Participants on both tel-
evision shows offer honest and some-
what insightful commentary on how
one sex feels about the other.
College students often find them-
selves in the same predicaments as
those proposed on "Guy Code" and
"Girl Code". Romantic relationships
on a college campus
are
not simply
black and white. They
are
hard
to de-
fine and not easily relatable because
of the vast gray areas of the term "re-
lationship". Both guys and girls
are
stumped by what it means to be
''hooking up" with someone or what
the implications
are
of "going home
with someone''. Although establishing
and maintaining college romances re-
quire
a great amount of effort and
cause some aggravation, Marist stu-
dents don't give up that easily. The
complications and attempts to deci-
pher guy and girl codes
are
apparent
on the Marist campus.
Six Marist students, three guys and
three girls, were exposed to five topics
relating to the opposite sex. Each stu-
dent gave his or her input on all five
topics, providing insight into the com-
plex world of relationships as seen by
guys and girls.
First, students were asked if they
have ever ''Facebook stalked" some-
one they were interested in. Both ad-
mitted to Facebook stalking someone
they were interested in or attracted to
in order to learn more about the per-
son. Guys and girls wanted to know
more about this person's interests, if
the person was in a relationship, view
their pictures and
see
if he or she had
any mutual friends.
Second. students were asked about
their views on the sending and receiv-
ing a double text, a message sent be-
fore the receiver has a chance to reply
to the previous one. Even within gen-
der groups, people disagreed. The
girls' responses to receiving a double
text varied. Some gave a double text a
good review while another said it was
annoying.
''I
don't mind it as long as they aren't
being too eager," said Cassi~, a Marist
junior. Another said she wouldn't
mind receiving a double text if it was
from a guy they were interested in.
"I
want someone to double text me
if
I like them, but, if not, it's just
annoy-
ing,"
said Rachel, a Marist junior. The
girls' responses to sending a double
text were the same. The girls agreed
they would never double text because
they
think
it looks desperate.
Boys' responses to receiving a double
text also differed from one another.
Ben, a Marist senior, said re<:eiving a
double text
is
annoying while Liam, a
Marist junior said receiving a double
text didn't bother him. Again, boys' re-
sponses to sending a double text con-
flicted. Will, a Marist sophomore, said
that he would send one.
''I
tend to text as I think, so if I think
of more to say, I'll say it," Will said.
On the other hand, Ben said he
would never sent more
than
one text
to a girl
if
they didn't respond to the
first one. Clearly the protocol of send-
ing and receiving double text mes-
sages
are
not clear-cut.
Third, students were asked what
makes an individual boyfriend-or girl-
friend material. Responses were sim-
ilar to each other, although the guys
tended to include more physical at-
tributes. For example, guys stated a
potential girlfriend had to have good
style and there would need to be phys-
ical chemistry. Both responded that a
potential partner would need to be
funny, confident and trustworthy.
Fourth, the participants were asked
about the unspoken "game" that guys
and girls play with one another.
Frankly, both of them had no idea
why we play mind games with one an-
other, but they had some hunches. All
in all, it seems like a power thing.
If
you play the game right, you won't get
hurt in the end. The game entails get-
ting the other jealous and testing
them. Guy~ and girls also play the
game to influence how the other per-
ceives them. Individuals want others
to think
of
them in the best way
pos-
sible, so they play the game to avoid
looking desperate and to gain the
upper hand.
Lastly, the students were asked why
they don't text someone they're inter-
ested in. All of the girls came to the
consensus that they would never text
the guy first.
''I
won't text a guy first because I
want him to make the first move,"
Cassie said. Similarly, the other girls
resist texting guys because it's part of
the g~me. The guys also agreed that
not texting a girl they are interested
in can be part of the game.
Ben
said, "You need to give it time if
you're interested. You don't want to
come off too clingy."
If
interested in a
girl, guys believe that not texting her
is
just p~ of the guessing game.
On
the other hand, not texting a girl can
mean that the guy is just not that in-
terested.
Liam stated, "No one is that busy.
If
a guy doesn't text a girl he is probably
not that interested."
Nothing is certain when dealing with
college romances, but it
is
evident that
the guy and girl codes
are
hard to
crack.

Fall beauty
is all
about personality
By
EMILY HOUSTON
Cirde Contributor
As
summer fades into fall, students
trade in their summer makeup hues
and beach-y hairdos as they begin to
make the transition into the season
of change
.
Summer is a season for soaking in
the easy, natural look but when it
comes to Autumn, beauty is all about
taking risks and trying new styles.
Fall is about new beginnings, and
this is no exception when it comes to
hair and
makeup.
As far as hair goes, this fall is all
about the sleek and simple, but with
an added kick. While styles like the
topknot and sock bun became popu-
lar over the past year, this fall has
been all about taking these styles to
new levels.
Rather than simply
wrapping hair into a bun, sticking in
some bobby pins and spraying on
some hairspray, it is now about mak-
ing the bun stand out. Some ways to
do this include adding in braids,
headbands and flowers. Adding a
classic French side braid to the usual
low bun makes it fun and
interesting,
-1..0'JEMAEGAN/a<Ft
Letting your luscious locks

nature!"
is
a popular hairstyle for
this
fall season.
but still makes the cut for the early 8
a.m. time crunch. Adding a flower
where the braid meets the bun helps
add a personal touch to the hairstyle.
Another way to keep the easy top-
knot as a staple is by adding a head-
scarf or headband. First making a
ponytail then wrapping the hair from
it around the hair tie and pinning it
up with some bobby pins creates the
standard topknot. Sliding on an em-
bellished headband or tying on a pat-
terned headscarf makes the style
quirky and chic.
For those with long, luscious locks
that want to let their hair down, you
are in luck this season. While
flaw-
less and personalized hairstyles are
in, another style besdies the bun is to
let hair
be
"au nature!". While in
previous years, straightened hair
was in, letting hair air
dry
and
morph into its own style is the way
to go this fall.
Although many people can be self-
conscious
·
abouf un-styled hair,
adding a spritz of hairspray or a dol-
lop of mousse ensures a great hair
day for anyone. Embracing one's
natural hair paired with some of this
season's makeup trends helps create
a simple yet chic
look.
Fall makeup is about focusing on
one feature and making that the cen-
ter of attention. Lately, that feature
has been the lips.
Choosing a bold or
bright lipstick color that compli-
ments one's skin tone and hair color
will have the maximum impact.
A timeless color like red is always
trendy and it seamlessly matches
most neutral-colored outfits. For
those times when your outfit is doing
the talking, choose a color that is
fresh and bold to create a more orig-
inal look that helps tie the outfit
fo-
gether.
Colors such as a sheer or bright
pink work well for people from
fair to
·
ivory skin tones whereas coral or
deep plum shades work best for olive
to dark skin tones. When in doubt, a
simple timeless shade of nude lip-
stick is sure to seal the fashion deal.
Another makeup trend is creating
a fierce, sultry eye using eyeliner.
One good thing about eyeliner is that
it can make a statement in many
dif-
ferent ways. Eyeliner can help to
make the eyes the focal point
,
but it
is also not
too overpowering, so it
works
for
girls
with any face shape or
skin tone.
Just like lipstick, it is easy to cus-
tomize eyeliner to match one's mood,
•
outfit or skin tone. By using more
neutral shades of blush, lipstick and
eye shadow, a bold eyeliner color
with black mascara gives the eyes a
nice pop of color.
While beauty is all about bringing
out one's best features, the focus of
this fall is about adding splashes of
personality
through
hair
and
makeup choices that help enhance
one's overall natural beauty and con-
fidence
.
By heading to the store and
pUl'Chaeing a few different shades of
lipstick and eyeliner that compli-
ment your skin tone, hair color and
personal fashion, you can create an
endless amount of fashionable com-
binations that are sure to last
throughout the fall season.
What to do if you are being "sexiled"
By
ALYSSA ROSSI
Sex Columnist
Sexile: The act of banishing a
roommate to engage in sexual ac-
tivity.
One of the biggest flaws of col-
lege life is watching your precious
privacy vanish before your eyes.
Want to dance like you're a back
up dancer for Destiny's Child
without being judged, or warm up
your vocals for those Monday
night shows at Darby's without
anyone knowing, or just enjoy
some time to be au nature!?
Well ... you can't! I mean, unless
you are truly that secure with
yourself, then by all means con-
tinue
.
Don't let me ruin your fun.
Aside from those little moments,
which are so easy to have in the
comfort of our own bedrooms at
home, we strive for a different pri-
vacy at school. Now that we live
in adulthood
,
with no one to an-
swer to, we think it's going to be
so simple to act on our hormonal
desires.
(I
know you're all cringing
reading that. I cringed writing it.
But hey, I have to keep it classy.)
As college students we throw the
term "sexile" around with little re-
alization on how tension-filled and
awkward the actual act of "sexil-
ing" your roommate could be.
Here are some helpful hints to
avoid making the situation awk-
ward for you and all of those in-
volved.
1.
Establish a relationship
with your roommate(s).
_
After your freshman year, you
usually end up living with your
close friends, but you should still
be comfortable enough with them
to ask for privacy here and there
but not every single night.
2. Inform your roommate.
Say you come back before your
roommate, you could do the same
trick your grandparents and par-
ents did and put a sock or tie on
the door knob. Or, just a thought,
you could come into the 21st cen-
tury and shoot him or her a text
saying you need the room.
3. Come up with a system.
If you both have significant oth-
ers, just need a night to yourself,
or plan on making a killing Satur-
day night, just make a schedule.
Indicate who gets the room and
who gets lost on certain nights of
the week.
4. Go somewhere else.
As you're planning your night
upon leaving the bar, quickly
think about your situation when
you get back to your room. Will
your roommate be there?
If so, ask
the lucky guy or girl going home
with you if you can go back to
their place instead
.
5. Be respectful.
No one likes a jerk of a roommate.
Be conscious of how often you're
asking for privacy and how you're
asking. No matter the circum-
stance, always be courteous when
asking for time alone and be will-
ing to do the same for your room-
mate.

WikiLeaks founder blurs patriotism and terrorism
By
SEAN
P.
FALLON
Circle Contributor
Whether you love him, hate him,
or have no idea who he is, Julian As-
sange has gone from a small time
computer hacker and magazine
writer, to one of the most influential
figures on the face of the Earth in a
matter of a few decades.
For the uninitiated, Julian As-
sange is the editor-in-chief of Wik-
iLeaks, a website that is dedicated
to the release of classified informa-
tion to the public. According to
statements on the website, "Our
work is based on the defense of free-
dom of speech and media publish-
ing, the improvement of our
common historical record and the
support of the rights of all people to
create new history." All of these
goals, I might add, are in line with
the
Universal
DeclM"ation
of
Human Rights, a document passed
by the United Nations as a guide-
line for the world to act in regards
to the rights of its people.
Assange has a rather interesting
background. He is an Australian
native who attended 37 different
schools as a child.
During his
youth, he spent much of his time as
a
hacker and
computer
hobbyist,
who, as early as 1991, was the tar-
get of hacking charges after he ac-
cessed the computers of an
Australian telecom company. In
2007, he founded WikiLeaks, the
site that has garnered him a polar-
izing reputation for releasing classi-
fied documents against the will of
the nations from which they were
collected for the public to see.
WikiLeaks has been credited with
many broad-reaching achievements,
such as changing the direction of
elections in Kenya, helping shift
publi;c opinion
on
the United States'
War on Terror, and publishing war
crimes and human rights violations
on over half of the nations of the
world.
In the span of three short years,
WikiLeaks published more classi-
fied documents than all of the
world's new organizations com-
bined, a record which stands in the
millions and continues to grow.
The site operates as a nonprofit,
entirely volunteer organization that
sustains itself, its servers, and its
encryption methods almost entirely
off of public donation. Most of the
funding comes
from
external
sources, as does much of the infor-
mation that the site has published.
''Whistle-blowers," as the news
media likes to call them, come to
WikiLeaks with the information
they have uncovered and give it to
the site through encrypted and se-
cretive ways that range from Inter-
net transfers to encrypted messages
in postal mail.
What does WikiLeaks actually do?
For starters, they provide a location
for, and a means by which inform-
ants might leak classified docu-
ments
anonymously,
through
various methods of encryption and
a dedicated server for the informa-
tion. The WikiLeaks staff also edits
the documents they release, tending
to redact or restrict names for the
anonymity of their informants, to
reduce the personal damages that
the documents might afflict on indi-
vidual people, and to take some
names and hold them for political
leverag~ over the world powers.
Of course, illegally publishing the
documents of world powers doesn't
occur
without
repercussions.
China, along with several other na-
tions, have barred WikiLeaks from
public access over the Internet
(which WikiLeaks continues to sub-
vert with encrypted URL codes and
other methods).
I believe all of us in the United
States have at least heard of
Bradley
Manning
or
Edward
Snow-
den, two "whistle-blowers" that re-
spectively have been, or are
currently being, charged by the U.S.
government for leaking confidential
documents to WikiLeaks and other
media sources. While the effort to
apprehend Snowden and bring him
to court still continues, Manning
has already been tried, and was con-
victed on Aug. 21 to 35 years in
prison and a dishonorable dis-
charge.
The media has had a split depic-
tion of Assange's actions since the
inception of his now infamous web-
site. On one hand, many paint As-
sange as a criminal, whose actions
against the world's governments are
threatening the security of intelli-
gence, especially in the War on Ter-
ror.
Many, including
President
Obama, have noted that the publi-
cation of many documents on the
War on Terror could offer terrorists

A tragic news story comes out of
Portville, N.Y. A high school football
player died several days after suf-
fering a helmet-to-helmet collision
in a football game. Damon Janes, a
16-year-old high school football
player,
suffered
an injury during a
game and proceeded to get up and
walk off the field where he lost con-
sciousness. He died three days later,

and his exact cause of death has not
been made public, and may not even
be known at this time.
The Westfield-Brocton Wolverines
varsity football team decided to end
their football season immediately
after the passing of their teammate.
The school board of education
passed the request from the super-
intendent to cancel the season.
According to Joey Vaillafrank, a
player on the team, the season was
cancelled because "the game is no
longer safe because the referees no
longer throw flags."
This is a very tough situation to
comment on, as I was not in atten-
dance to form an opinion myself on
whether the referees were calling a
safe and fair game.
If
the referees
were in fact calling a fair game,
then this tragedy just gets tallied
into the count of football players
that die in America every year be-
cause of injuries incurred during
gameplay.
However, if the referees were not
calling a fair game in which illegal
hits were properly penalized, it
could be that the referees promoted
a mentality where certain would-be
illegal hits were in fact permissible
to make during the game.
This has been a very sad and con-
troversial issue that has sprung the
debate of football safety to the fore-
front of parents and school adminis-
trators' agendas.
It
might be
insensitive to say, but I think it
needs to be understood by parents
and school administrators that foot-
ball is a very dangerous sport,
which is exactly why NFL players
demand such high prices for their
skills. When high schools decide to
offer football to students, they need
to understand that the gameplay,
even the legal play, calls for very
physical play.
Hard helmet-to-helmet contact is
only the worst-case scenario. Every
player assumes the risk that ensues
during football; every player takes
contact on every play, and there is a
plethora of risks involved. Head in-
juries in football have come under
intense scrutiny in recent years
based on new studies that suggest
that they often correlate to brain
damage later on in life.
Some might wonder why such a
dangerous sport is permitted, espe-
cially among young athletes. Foot-
ball will never be outlawed because
it is simply branded into American
culture, regardless of how danger-
ous it may be. Football represents
Americans' natural instinct of ag-
gression, and projects football play-
ers into a class of their own,
especially among youths.
I believe that parents should un-
derstand the risks involved with
having their children play football.
This death, and every resulting
death, are tragic, but football isn't
going anywhere. Increased technol-
ogy in helmets and protective gear
continue to become more advanced,
but unfortunately can only go so far.
Football
will
always be a very dan-
gerous sport to play, especially
among youths. It is the parents' de-
cision whether to allow such a sport.
It is also a necessity to make sure
coaches teach players the rights and
wrongs of football, as well as the
correct and safe way to tackle dur-
ing gameplay. This will ensure the
safest possible environment on the
playing field for youths and profes-
sionals alike.

The chemistry behind the success of AMC's "Breaking Bad"
By
MATT MCNAMARA
Circle Contributor
"Chemistry ... It's the constant, it's
the-cycle. It's solution, dissolution ...
It is growth, then decay, then trans-
formation." These words were ut-
tered by the unpredictable, and, at
times, insane chemistry teacher
Walter White. Throughout the
course of "Breaking Bad," Walter
has gone through this cycle, eventu-
ally transforming from "Mr. Chips
to Scarface," in a matter of five sea-
sons. But these five seasons were
unlike anything ever seen on TV
be-
fore. "Breaking Bad" has been an in-
tense thrill ride that has captivate<J
viewers since the moment Walt
drove through the desert in his
tighty whities and famous RV, with
two drug dealers clinging to life in
the back, and his former student
Jesse Pinkman passed out in the
front seat.
Fans have cried, cheered, shud-
dered, laughed, and been mesmer-
ized by the insane plot twists,
character choices, and events that
have taken place over the past five
seasons. I hope that 30 years from
now, people look back on "Breaking
Bad" as a show that ignored the
cliche, captivated cinema in televi-
sion, and boosted the careers of
some of the best actors to ever grace
the small screen. However, these ex-
traordinary accomplishments would
not have been possible without the
shows evil genius, creator Vince
Gilligan, who, time after time, has
shocked, challenged and engaged
his audience on the brutal journey
of Walter White.
The ending of "Breaking Bad," be-
sides being bittersweet, was a phe-
nomenal, and certainly emotional
way to wrap up the show. The whole
last half of the fifth season was so
dark, but still intriguing to watch.

sunset, and Walt dying gracefully in
his "kingdom," where he had ex-
pressed his skills and so well. It was
like if Gordon Gekko from
"Wall
Street" died laying in a pile of cash.
In my opinion, there are so many
things that made "Breaking Bad"
the best television show ever cre-
ated, in my opinion. For .one, the in-
credible acting of Bryan Cranston,
who "became" the complex and con-
troversial Walter White and evoked
such emotions that made fans both
love and hate Walt as a human
being. Aaron Paul was just as ter-
rific as Jesse Pinkman, a youthful
spirit who transformed from a_ lousy
drug dealer to a mature and em-
pathic man. Other terrific actors
such as Anna Gunn, Dean Norris,
Giancarlo Esposito, and Johnathan
Banks were huge parts of what
made "Breaking Bad" such a beau-
tiful character study.
Gilligan did two things to really
separate "Breaking Bad" from the
rest of the dramas currently on TV
now. He utilized humor effectively,
and incorporated that with ad-
vanced plot structure. As my drama
teacher says, "Always find the com-
edy in tragedy." Gilligan certainly
did that. From Walter White tossing
the pizza on the roof,
to Jesse sug-
gesting robots to fix the RV, and all
the insane analogies from Saul
Goodman, Gilligan incorporated
humor to ease the emotional dam-
age of"Breaking Bad," and to really
keep the audience's attention, just
like what Scorsese and Tarantino
have done with all of their movies.
Gilligan's effective plot twists, from
Jane's death, to Hank's paralysis, to
Gus's "faceoff," and Hank's realiza-
tion of the truth stunned audiences
and kept us wanting more. Gilli-
gan's beautiful creation has truly
left its mark in TV history, a cre-
ation that is indeed 100

Xbox One or PS4: which one's for you?
By
CHRIS POLLACK
Circle Contributor
After nearly eight years into the
console generation, we are finally
beginning to take the leap into the
future of gaming. With Nintendo's
Wii U failing to gain much traction,
the real battle is between Sony's
PlayStation 4 and Microsoft's Xbox
One. Before you head to your fa.
vorite electronics retailer this holi-
day season, here's what you need to
know:
Xbox One -
Microsoft is seeking
to dominate the living room with its
newest Xbox. Dubbed (somewhat
confu~ingly) "Xbox One," the com-
pany is offering consumers a single
device to seamlessly replace most of
their entertainment system. With
HDMI pass-through, Xbox One can
act as your set-top box. Thanks to
the bundled Kinect microphone and
camera, you can control your TV
and console using just your voice.
Kinect will turn on your TV and
Xbox, change channels, start games
and control all of the apps available
on Xbox. With multitasking capa-
bility, the console can play a show
on Netflix or start a Skype video call
on the side of your screen, while still
playing a game or watching TV.
But don't fret gamers. Xbox One is
still a gaming console, first and fore-
most. Twenty-three titles are ex-
pected at launch, including the
widely-anticipated Forza Motor-
sport 5. Xbox Live is also experienc-
ing a few tweaks this generation,
adding a new matchmaking system
that Microsoft claims to be faster
and smarter.
Xbox One is coming Nov. 22 for
$499.
PlayStation
4 - "By gamers, for
gamers" seems to be Sony's mantra
this year with PS4. Touting raw
power and innovative developer
tools, the Japanese manufacturer is
taking a "less is more" approach by
forgoing the multimedia features of
the Xbox One. PS4 comes in $100
cheaper than Xbox, while still man-
aging to pack in a GPU that's sup-
posedly 30 percent more powerful
than Microsoft's offering (though
whether the difference will be no-
ticeable remains to be seen).
Launching with exclusives like
Kil-
lzone: Shadow Fall, Sony is going
right for the throat of this console
generation with the PS4.
PlayStation 4 is available Nov. 15
for $399.
Comparison •
Both consoles cer-
tainly have their merits. Xbox One
delivers an all-around multimedia
experience with TV, music and
games. PS4 is '.'all gaming, all the
time," with multimedia taking a
back seat like it did with PS3. New
this year is the requirement to have
a paid PlayStation Plus subscrip-
tion to play multiplayer, but PS4
still allows you to access apps like
Netflix with a free account (unlike
Xbox One.)
Both consoles allow streaming of
games to online services and will
see huge titles like Watch Dogs and
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
Both promise more features in the
future thanks to cloud technology.
Both include Blu-ray drives and
offer integration with smartphones
and tablets.
Ultimately, the decision all comes
down to personal preference. Do you
want your entertainment center to
be linked into one responsive sys-
tem? Or do you think Kinect is a
gimmick and want your game con-
sole to function as one, playing tons
of games while keeping your billfold
a little thicker?
Whichever you choose, one thing is
for sure: the real winner here is the
consumer.

Club hockey set to open new season

Staff Writer
Another school year, another
year of transition for the Marist
club hockey team.
In 2012-2013, the Red Foxes
bounced back from a tumultuous
2011-2012 campaign to capture a
Super East Collegiate Hockey
League Division Championahip,
compiling an SECHL record of 12-1-
1, and an overall record of 17-7-4,
including an 87 Challenge Cup vic-
tory over rival Siena.
Representing the Northeast, the
Red Foxes advanced to St. Louis as
one of 16 teams to compete in the
American Collegiate Hockey Associ-
ation's Division
II
National Cham-
pionship Tournament.
By being bounced in pool play,
the Red Foxes fell short of their
goal, but the team desires to get
back there again.
"Last year's trip to Nationals was
a great time, even though we went
0-3," senior Pat Erstling, who is re-
turning as captain for a second con-
secutive season, said. ''The competi-
tion was good, but I don't think we
were overmatched. I believe those
teams had great games when we
could have played better. I think it
came down to experience. Most of
the teams at the tournament had a
lot of national experience, while it
was Marist's first in many years."
The offense, which led the
SECHL in iO$ last season
~~.
will take a hit with the losses of sen-
ior forwards Chris Cerbino (23
goals, 35 assists] and Mike Chiac-
chia (29 goals, 23 assists]. Chiacchia
led the Red Foxes in goals, and
Cerbino compiled many accolades:
SECHL's Player of the Year, First
Team SECHL, First Team North-
east, First Team All-American and
ACHA All-Star Tournament player.
Along with returning seniors
Steven Milanesi, Tom Conway and
Zach Gomiela, sophomores Brett
Kaiser (8 goals, 23 assists] and
Trevor Larkin (5 goals, 8 assists]
will be counted on to step up and
provide secondary production.
This year marks the first time in
15 years that Bob Simmons will not
be behind the bench as head coach
for the Red Foxes. Simmons will
still have an important role as Gen-
eral Manager, taking care of finan-
cials and scheduling for the team.
Replacing Simmons will be some-
body the Red Foxes are very famil-
iar with: ex-captain Cerbino.
''He [Simmons) thought I was the
best _guy for the job," Cerbino said.
Erstling, along with Milanesi,
Conway and Gomiela, have a daunt-
ing task this upcoming season in
supplanting lost leadership. Now
that his responsibility has grown,
Cerbino is looking to make a smooth
·
transition into his new role, em-
bracing leadership from a different
perspective, and trying to reflect it
onto both
his
former teammates and
newcomers.
"We have a lot of potential this
season," Cerbino said. "We have a
lot of core players returning with
some new freshmen talent. I think
we have a lot of depth and a lot of
speed up front. We're also deep at
goalie, which is alwa,ys good to
have."
It helps that an old friend, who's
also adjusting to this change, is
there
to
help Cerbino's transition.
"I
am fully confident that Coach
Cerbino will lead us in the right di-
rection that hopefully takes us to
Massachusetts for this year's tour-
nament," Erstling said. "Expecta-
tions are always high for this team,
particularly on a year following a
trip to Nationals. It's always a pri-
ority to get back there."
Cerbino is ready for the chal-
lenge.
"It's going to be tough in the
league this year because a lot of
teams have a lot of good returning
players and incoming freshmen,"
Cerbino said. ''We're going to have
to be our best at every game."

to get back to Nationals, as they

people this past
weekend, as they were able to come
back to Poughkeepsie with two
more conference wins, holding the
third place spot in the MAAC stand-
mgs.
Their first game was against the
Canisius Golden Griffins. The first
set of the match was going in
Marist's favor at the beginning, as
they started with a 4-0 run. Soon
after, Canisius scored five points of
their own and took the lead.
With help from Courtney Shaw,
the Red Foxes' offense was able to
keep scoring, as Shaw had five kills
on six attacks in the first set. The
take a dominating run with nine of
the last 13 points to win, 25-22.
The second set was more of
the
same for the Red Foxes. Early on,
Marist was down 8-3, but they
would soon take a 9-4 run to get a
hold of the lead.
The lead would yet again flip-flop
and Canisius would take it back
with the score at 17-16. However,
with help from more offensive
power, Marist took another com-
manding 9-1 run to win the second
set 25-18. Shaw, much like the first
set, contributed five kills in five at-
tempts, and Mackenzie Stephens
also added four kills and three
blocks in the set.
The Red Foxes again were forced
to come from behind in the third set,
The lead went back and forth be-
tween the two teams right up until
it was tied at 19.
Each team had their own small
runs to get to that point, and it
turned out that Canisius would take
yet another small 3-0 run to get a
22-19 lead over Marist. But this
whole match, Marist never gave up,
even when they were down late in
the sets_. Forceful authority up at
the net helped the Red Foxes win
six of the next seven points and
sweep the Golden Griffins three
sets
to none with a match score of 25-22,
25-18, 25-23.
Marist would actually keep the
brooms out for their game against
Niagara, as they were also able to
sweep the Purple Eagles three sets
to none (25-18, 25-13, 25-15). Marist
had a series of commanding leads
throughout the match, and ulti-
mately proved to be too much for Ni-
agara. Stephens and Kelsey Lahey
led the charge offensively, with 15
and 10 kills respectively, while
Shaw and Brooke Zwyick led the dig
category with 11 and nine kills, re-
spectively. Audra Brady also had a
match-high 40 assists.
The next game for the Red Foxes
will
take place tonight at Siena, as
they will take on the Saints at 7
p.m. Siena (6-9, 5-0 MAAC) is cur-
rently atop the standings in the
MAAC. Marist (9-5, 3-1 MAAC) will
look to notch their 10th win of the
season, and climb the MAAC stand-
ings.

After essentially doing nothing
offensively in their first two games
and starting 0-2, Marist's football
team came storming back with two
big wins against Georgetown and
league foe Dayton to get back to
.500.
The Red Foxes' offense, coupled
with outstanding defensive play,
outscored their opponents
7
4-43 in
the last two weeks.
On Sept. 14, they defeated Pa-
triot League's foe Georgetown, 43-
23, after six different Marist players
scored touchdowns. The win was the
program's first road victory over a
Patriot League team.
Following a bye week, the team
was back in action last week at Day-
ton, their first conference game of
the season. Dayton held a 13-0 ad-
vantage after the first quarteF, but
Marist then scored 31 unanswered
points and won the game, 31-20.
Marist struggled with turning
the ball over in the first two games
of the year, something head coach
Jim Parady wasn't pleased with. He
feels the recent success is a direct
result of improvement in that area.
"Our turnover margin and penal~
ties have gone down significantly in
the last two games,'' Parady said.
''We're playing smarter football and
protecting the ball better, which is
leading to more possessions and
forcing teams to go a little bit fur-

two weeks."

Despite losing seven of their first
eight games, the 2013 Marist Red
Foxes men's soccer season more or
less starts anew on Saturday after-
noon, when the Foxes travel to
Lawrenceville, N.J. to take on Rider
to
start play against their MAAC
foes. Despite the rough non-confer-
ence slate to start the year, head
coach Matt Viggiano felt it was a
good learning experience.
''It was a rough go in the non-con-
ference (schedule),'' Viggiano said.
''We played a lot of tough teams,
probably the best in conference. We
won't see anything like this once we
hit conference play."
Viggiano has pointed out that the
team has suffered various injuries
that have been detrimental to its
success. The Foxes have lost nu-
merous games due to various ail-
ments, and this has certainly hurt
their scoring chances, as they have
scored only three goals throughout
the season so far.
"Injuries
have definitely taken
their toll," Viggiano said. "They
make it increasingly difficult to win
games. I do believe
if
we had some
of our injured guys, we'd have a few
more wins in non-conference play.
Unfortunately, this is competitive

is still a painful memory, Viggiano
is aware of what his team is capable
of.
In 2011, the Foxes went 4-4-1
against conference opponents, in-
cluding a streak where the Foxes
took home wins in four of their final
six games of the season. The final
win of that streak ended in penalty
kicks, a 4-1 victory in the MAAC
Men's Soccer Tournament Quarter-
finals that sent Marist to the semi-
finals, where they fell 3-1 to
eventual champion Fairfield.

opener will take place Wednesday,

Women's soccer splits MAAC contests
By JOE FITZHENRY
Sports Editor
In
the world of sports, momen-
tum can change in a matter of sec-
onds. This is precisely what
happened to the Marist Red Foxes
women's soccer team on Saturday
afternoon, as they saw Fairfield
net the eventual game-winning
·
goal just 13 seconds after Alycia
Cartica had tied it for the Red
Foxes.
The loss came on the heels of a
1-0
win over Niagara on Wednes-
day afternoon,
a
game that saw
Marist keep their unbeaten home
record intact this season.
With the split of the two games,
the 2011 MAAC champions sit at
4-5-2 overall (2-1 MAAC) on the
season.
On a beautiful afternoon for
soccer last Wednesday, Marist got
out to a strong start by outshooting
the visiting Purple Eagles by a 6-1
margin, but couldn't seem to solve
Niagara goalkeeper Claire
Feiertag.
That all changed in the 69th
minute, as senior Rycke Guiney
took a cross from Cartica and sent
a laser from just outside the box
into the upper right portion of the
net,
giving
the hosts a 1-0 lead.
The final minutes of action
wouldn't come to pass without
some anxious moments, as Andrea
Wicks denied Kiley Titus with a
diving save off a shot from close
range.
It
was one of six saves of the
day for Wicks, as the junior
notched her third shutout of the
campaign.
On Saturday afternoon, in a
game that pitted the top two teams
in the MAAC, according to the pre-
season poll, the Red Foxes came up
just short in a heartbreaking 2-1
decision on the road at the hands
of the Fairfield Stags.
"Overall, I thought the second
half was a step up. We definitely
progressed, but right now the
biggest issue is there seems to be a
drop off in the first and last five
minutes of every game," head
coach Katherine
Lyn said.
"As
a
team, we need to be more consis-
tent and show a bit of urgency
when we know the game only has
five minutes left to play."
The hosts would strike first in
this one, as Ashley Small dumped
it off to Erin Pettersen and the
shot beat Wicks for a 1-0 lead.
That same score would hold
throughout halftime and most of
the second half despite the Red
. Foxes managiµg nine shots to Fair-
field's four in the final stanza.
At long last, Cartica would be
the one to find gold for Marist, as
the Pleasant Valley, N.Y. native
tallied the game-tying goal with
under three minutes to play.
However, the score wouldn't re-
main tied for long. Off the ensuing
kickoff, Nikki Stanton controlled
the ball for the Stags, gave it off to
Pam Coufos, who then fed it to
Small, who managed to slip it just
past Wicks for a 2-1 lead, one that
would hold for the remainder of
the match.
Guiney recorded three shots on
net in the losing effort for the Red
Foxes, while Wicks picked up six
saves in net.
Marist played Wednesday after-
noon against rival Siena at 4 p.m.

The team
will host Rider on
Saturday at
7
p.m. under the lights
at Tenney Stadium.
"Creating the environment
where everyone is supportive of
one another, and allowing people
to remind themselves of what our
go;µs are, and the standard we're
supposed to be playing at is crucial
to allowing the team to keep that
unity while they are on the field,"
Lyn
said .
