‘Hounds battle back after losing in Florida, bringing record to 12-9 _ _ ~ Julie Anderson. Feature Editor The ‘Hounds have played to a 12-9 record as of March 17, since their season began over a month ago. The baseball teamtried to continue their winning ways as they played a doubleheader on Saturday, Feb. 23, against Indiana Tech and started off strong. Senior pitcher Rick Hummel threw a complete game, allowing only two hits and striking out 11 Warriors in seven innings. Senior right fielder Josh Fuller secured the ‘Hounds win in the first game with a single in the fifth inning, brining the final score to 2- 1. Fuller also had a single in the fourth inning. The second game of the day gave the ‘Hounds a 7-3 win. Junior center fielder Tarron Acuff scored three runs and had one RBI, going 4-4 for the game. Junior catcher Justin Haire had two RBIs and went 3-3 at the plate. Senior third baseman Dennis Nisbet also had two RBIs. Outfielder Matt Guamieri, a junior, hit a home run and a triple in three at bats. The following day, the ‘Hounds managed a 9-8 win over the Warriors. It took seven innings to tie the score at 8. Junior shortstop Jeremy O’Neill scored twice and drove in two runs. O’Neill also hit a home run and a double. Acuff scored once, and had one stolen base and two sacrifices. Guarnieri went 2-3, hit a double and scored two runs. Fuller also scored two runs, hit an RBI and another double. Sophomore second baseman Erik Peterman had one home run. Nisbet, showing his versatility, got the win for the ‘Hounds. He struck out two and did not allow any hits. The ‘Hounds traveled to West Alabama for another three game series on March 2 and 3. The team didn’t fare quite as well against the Tigers; the ‘Hounds lost all three games. The first game ended 2-9, with Hummel pitching his first loss of the season. In his first game pitched this year, sophomore Chase Huotari could not fend off the Tigers, who won 2- 1. Senior Blake Wyatt also pitched his first losing game of the season in the 3-5 final game of the series. A doubleheader at home against IPFW on March 6 brought a pair of disappointing losses for the ‘Hounds. Sophomore Kenny Mattner and freshman Gary Maurer each pitched with 4-6 and 1-7 losses, respectively. These games also brought Mattner and Maurer their first losses of the season. The ‘Hounds had a chance to recoup from their losses when they headed to Florida for Spring Break. They returned from the Sunshine State with an improved 10-8 cumulative record. Their trip began with a 6-9 loss to North Dakota on March 9.

He arrived at the start of the second semester from Tel Aviv, Israel. Ferber is the first swimmer to come to U of I from Israel. He was originally supposed to start, his college career three years ago, but had to serve in the army first. Every- one in Israel is required to serve in the army once they reach the age of 18. After 3 long years in the army, Ferber finally arrived in America and has started his academic and athletic pursuits. Ferber found U of I after searching on the Internet for Division I1 schools. Ferber decided to come to U of I because of its “small size, good programs and because [he] got accepted.” TRACK He spoke to Gary Kinkead, head coach of the men and women’s swimming teams through e-mails and over the phone and decided that this school was a good fit for him. He received an athletic scholarship after being cleared to compete in NCAA athletics and started to swim for U of I. The day Ferber arrived from Israel was the first day of competition at the U of I Invitational. Ferberls. majjpr is computer infor- mation systems, and he plans to go back to Israel after receiving his degree. Ferber has been to America twice before when he was younger. He visited both New York and Orlando to go to Disney World. Even though he has been here before, he still was not sure what to expect. Now that he is here, he thinks that he has made a good decision and likes the school. He likes his teammates and feels that he fits in well with the other swimmers. Swimming here was hard for him at first because of the difference in the length of the pool. He was used to swimming meters back in Israel, and in America competitor’s swim yards. It was hard to adjust at first because his “turns were off and his stroke count was different,” which is very important in order to hit the wall properly when turning. He feels he has swum well this year, considering he just started near the end of the college season. “It was hard since I only had two weeks of training before we started to taper.” Ferber’s best time in his best event, the 200-meter backstroke, came at Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament, where he won the event with a time of 1:55.74. He has enjoyed swimming and was close to making a NCAA Division 11 national standard. His goal is to“make nationals and place in the top five in the 200-meter backstroke at nationals next year.” Track teams compete at GLVC tourney and indoor nationals Jessica Roberts News Editor Three athletes from the men’s and women’s track teams competed in the NCAA I1 Indoor Nationals in Boston on March 8 and 9. The GLVC Indoor Championship Meet that took place at Lewis University on Feb. 23 was the final chance for athletes to qualify for the national competition. At Lewis, junior Tiffany Turner earned All-GLVC honors with her second place finishes in the 55 meters and the 200 meters. Her times broke university records and qualified her for nationals. According to Giles Davis, the Greyhound track coach, Turner was the first athlete in U of I history to represent the university in a sprint event at the NCAA championships. “Tiffany is a fierce competitor and has a good shot of making the finals and earning ‘All-American’ honors,” Davis said before Nationals. Unfortunately, at the NCAA competition Turner had a false-start in the preliminaries of her 60-meter event and was unable to compete in finals. “It was simply a mental error, she just got a little excited,” Davis said. Back in February at Lewis University, sophomore Reggie Cross was voted “Athlete of the Year” by-league coaches after winning conference championships in both the 200 meters and the 400 meters. On March 8 and 9, Cross made his second consecutive trip to the NCAA Nationals. He finished in fifth place in the 400 meters, which was an improvement from his eighth place finish last year. Junior Dameion Smith was this year’s GLVC champion at Lewis in the weight throw. He won with a 57’8” meters throw. Last year, Smith finished 12th place in the hammer throw at the outdoor 2001 NCAA Championships. At this year’s Championships, he finished seventh place in the weight throw and earned All-American honors. In finals, Smith’s best attempt, 17.91 meters, was only one centimeter off his personal best. His performance at nationals made him the second athlete in university history to earn All-American honors in the 35-pound weight throw. The coaches were happy with both performances. “I thought Reggie and Damieon really stepped up and competed well,” Davis said. “Their efforts reflect their determination and commitment.” The men and women Greyhound runners began their outdoor season on March 23 at the U.S. Coaches Chal- lenge at Saint Joseph’s College. Results were not available at press time. The next day brought a win against Alderson-Broaddus [WV]. Senior pitcher Blake Wyatt improved his record to 3-1. The ‘Hounds split a doubleheader with Southwest State [MN] on March 11, losing 3-5 in the first game and winning 17-12 in the second. The winning pitcher for that game was Maurer. The ‘Hound’s last loss in Florida came in a 4-8 game the next day against Ashland. They ended their trip on a better note, however, when they won their last three games of the trip. Games against Edinboro [PA] and West Liberty State [WV] on March 13 gave the ‘Hounds 10-9 and 11-5 wins, respectively . The team spent the last weekend of Spring Break in St. Louis, where they took on the University of Missouri-St. Louis Rivermen. The ‘Hounds won 6-3 in a single game on March 16 and split a doubleheader 2-5 and 4-3 on St. Patrick’s Day. Wyatt allowed only two earned runs in eight innings in the first game. Hummel, pitching in the second game of the day, struck out five Rivermen and allowed one hit in 5 1/3 innings. On Wednesday, March 13, the ‘Hounds traveled to GLVC rival Lewis to begin their seven game intercollegiate road trip. The ‘Hounds showed no mercy as they defeated Lewis 2-0. Wyatt pitched a complete game and improved his season record to 5-1. Guarnieri hit a double to lead off the top of the fifth inning, while McCollum added another double to bring in the first run of the game. The ‘Hounds will continue their success as they begin their nine game homestand on March 29.
