Women's Hockey
After a very successful 2006-2007 seasons, the UW-S women’s hockey team hopes to use their team’s power and skill to make the national tournament again this year. Last season the Jackets finished 18-6-3 overall and 9-3-3 in the NCHA, in addition the Jackets also claimed the NCHA regular season title as well as finishing runners-up in the NCHA tournament, losing to UW-Stevens Point with a score of 3-2. Last year proved successful not only for the team but also for individual players. Senior forward Erin Kegley was named to the NCHA All-American list for the fourth time in her college career, sophomore goalie Rikki Nespor was named to the list, as well as sophomore defenseman Jamie McClintock, who made the list for the first time in her career. In addition to these girls senior defenseman Susie Crabb was named to the All-NCHA Academic team. This year heavy recruiting has led to many helpful additions to the Jackets’ team. Defensemen including Hibbing native, Allie Pullar, Chelsey Brodeen from Warroad High School, Kayla Chilstrom from Arden Hills, MN (Centennial High School), Teagan Cassan from Medora, Manitoba, Lindsey LeGree from Sioux City, IA, and Shana Katz from San Jose, California will round out a full freshman class this season. In addition to the incoming freshmen this season a UMD transfer from Cloquet, Kristi Hakala, will join the jackets. After graduating seven seniors last year the women’s hockey team hopes to continue the momentum in the NCHA tournament and hopes of winning a national title. According to preseason polls the UW-S women’s team received the nod as the team to beat in the NCHA. < xml="true" ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" prefix="st1" namespace="">Superior just edged out the Steven’s Point Pointers by only one point to be number one in the NCHA coach’s preseason poll. The voting was very close putting Steven’s Point right behind Superior. Rounding out the rest of the list for the season is; UW-River Falls, Lake Forest, Finlandia, UW-Eau Claire, and Concordia-Wisconsin. This year will be a very close competition for the NCHA title. The women have already begun to work towards a successful year, in the form of preseason workouts. Gina Baranzelli was named as captain this year for the jackets with Stacy Anderson and Jamie McClintock as assistant captains. According to Baranzelli, the preseason went great; she said everyone is working hard to get in shape and working together to help each other through the preseason. She explains that because they are a very close team everyone respects each other. She also says about her team, “We hope to accomplish a great season and we hope to take our team all the way this year.” The hopes to upset many teams is a realistic goal for the jackets and the close knit team will work hard to overcome obstacles and make another bid for the NCHA title. So amid doubts the team can be successful after graduating seven seniors and a full freshman class the woman’s hockey team will push themselves and each other to have another successful season.

Positive Outlook for Men's Basketball Season
The University of Wisconsin-Superior Men’s basketball team has high expectations as they enter year two of the Dave Buchanan era. They return a key group of upperclassmen and have welcomed a solid freshmen class who is primed to take the program to the next level. Team co-captain Dwight Hill believes that a WIAC Championship and a postseason tournament run are not only the expectations of the players and coaches but are also attainable goals for the upcoming season. “I think these are very realistic goals, we have a great group of guys, we are very talented and the chemistry is defiantly there.” The key returnees for the squad that finished 7-18 (2-14 in WIAC play) include upperclassmen Hill, David Headley, Jason Proue, Greg Polkowski, and Lucas Tellijohn. In addition are transfers, Michael Landers from Mesabi Community College, Ray Byrns from Cornell College and Josh Fabian from UW-Milwaukee. Rounding out this year’s team is an outstanding recruiting class that includes guards Dan Culy of Rice Lake, WI, Shane Manor of Altoona, WI, Mike Johnsted of Superior, and big men Jake Smith of Rhinelander, Wi, Ben Lindberg of Superior, WI, and Greg Roeder of Mercer, WI. Hill’s optimism for the team and the season stems from the infusion of quality players and people into the program. “The recruiting class is excellent. They are talented, smart and hardworking guys. I think Coach Buchanan did a great job recruiting because we can defiantly use guys like the ones we got.” Head Coach Dave Buchanan shares the optimism of his sophomore co-captain. “We took a calculated risk focusing on a small group of recruits and it was very rewarding to see our hard work pay off.” With only five returning players from the previous year and two new members added to the coaching staff the team has taken on an entirely new look and attitude. Hill commented that the team is a lot closer on and off the court. He attributes spending more time together off the court to the improvement in team chemistry. The team focus is on the overall process and getting better every day. With a lot of new and young faces and not many returning minutes patience is key. “People need to be patient, our roster is made up of many 18 and 19 year old guys, the process will take time and that’s why we are going to take it one day at a time.” The question that looms over the program is how this team is going to overcome the lack of experience to compete in the always difficult WIAC conference? “I expect leadership from my returners to share my philosophy and expectations. Polkowski has been working really hard and has done well leading by example.” Buchanan said. The team will focus on playing tough defense to make up for not being as athletic as some of the other teams in the conference like UW-Whitewater and Stout. Buchanan is counting on the team defense to win games early in the season. The men’s team takes on division II UMD in a preseason scrimmage and travel to the UW-Greenbay on Wednesday for an exhibition game. “Both teams are physical and big, they are similar to the teams in our own conference. Buchanan said.
Three UWS runners finished in the top ten in the 5K Jack's Run October 20. Matt Kramer placed first with a time of 16:59. Jason Lindelof placed second in 17:00 flat. Lee Sims placed eighth with a 18:16 time.

Getting To Know Macie Anderson
Brandon Crowser, Sports Writer
From her first swing with a plastic golf club at the age of three, Freshman Macie Anderson has been in love with the game of golf. The Blue Earth, MN native credits her success on the course to both of her parents, but it was her father who taught her the game since her days of using those plastic golf clubs. She recalls him taking her out almost daily to the golf course in Blue Earth during the summers. Even though she was too young then to swing a real club or understand the game, her dad would have her ride along in the golf cart while he played. Her mother has been another key to her success providing the love only mothers can offer, as well as providing the support on the course to her keep driving to be the best golfer she can be. Since she was seven years old, Anderson has participated in junior tournaments across the region until the age of fifteen. After that she played high school golf, where the competitive edge she had gained from the junior tournaments helped her to earn trips to the Minnesota state golf tournament each of her four years of varsity golf. She took two years off from competitive golf following high school to concentrate on academics while attending South Central Community College in Mankato, MN. She had planned to do this all along, but she knew she wanted to play golf her last two years of college. UWS was a good fit for her since she has family living in the area to provide a home cooked meal every now and then. Plus, she lived in Grand Marais as a child and knew how beautiful the area was. Most importantly though, she was looking for a college with a golf team, and UWS proved to be the school of her choice. After meeting her teammates, they quickly became another reason why she liked the school right away and appreciated how close the team was. “Everyone [the team] gets along, we are like a family, I also like how everyone on the team is passionate about the game of golf” said Anderson. During the golf season, Anderson practices each day on some area of her game and it has reflected on her golf scores. Her persistent practice schedule earned her a fifth place finish at the WIAC championship recently, as well as posting a new school record for the lowest score after two days of competition. She said golfing in a group with the eventual champion of the tournament motivated her to finish with a decent score, even after a rocky start on the second day. She claims she had a little luck on her side on the second day as well. “I wasn’t expecting to place fifth after my first two holes [on the second day], said Anderson, “but I lucked out and sunk some putts on the last four holes from about fifteen feet away that helped even out my score.” Other than playing golf, Anderson likes to travel and plans on doing so next summer where she will accompany her father to Idaho for the entire summer to of course, golf. Another hobby that Anderson enjoys is school, which could very well be the first time I have ever received that as an answer to hobbies, but she really enjoys learning and meeting new people at school. Upon graduation from UWS, Anderson hopes to land a job somewhere in the Idaho or Wyoming area as a Journalist, preferably for broadcast television.

October 29, 2007 Fairchild receives WIAC honors, 'Jackets gearing up for UW Eau-Claire
By Carl Lindquist Sports Writer clindqu4@uwsuper.edu
For the fact that senior Alicia Fairchild was named WIAC player of the week (week of October 8th), is something truly remarkable knowing how small of a school this is compared to other schools in the WIAC. But for Fairchild herself, she couldn't have been more surprised and thrilled. "It's an honor," said Fairchild. "To be put in that spotlight is just amazing. " Volleyball has been in Fairchild's nurture ever since she was three years old, as her mother used to be a volleyball coach. From there on, she has taken the game to a level as a leader of the team, where she does her best leading by example. "She's a big part of the team," said Courtney Stach. "She does her part and is a very good leader. " Whether it's dancing, cracking jokes on and off the court, or telling stories to whatever their pleasure, Fairchild sure knows the ways to help motivate her team. "We like to talk," said Fairchild. Although some teams may quietly meditate prior to games, these 'Jackets sure have found their yap n' yap pre-game niche. "It's our way of relaxing and getting motivated. " On the court, it's all about focus, consistency, and staying sharp which led to Fairchild pursuing her WIAC recognition, as she was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Clarke College Tournament (Iowa), as she compiled 57 assists in the match against No.10 St. Thomas (Minn.), plus accounting overall for 11.10 assists per game, and 4.26 digs per game throughout the entire four-game tournament. Prior to the Clarke Tournament, the 'Jacket's had clinched a playoff birth after beating UW-Stout (which was my mistake for being misinformed) on September 26th. The 'Jackets have been playing some sound volleyball, as they have collected two more conference wins over UW-LaCrosse on Friday October 19th (3-2), and UW-Platteville on October 20th (3-1). "We didn't have to rise to a new level," said Deadrick. "We just played more consistent, balanced and smarter. " Against UW-LaCrosse in game one, the 'Jackets came out on fire, although they let UW-LaCrosse back into it, they were able to contain that lead throughout game one. Game two the 'Jackets had trailed by as much as 7, but were able to challenge UW-LaCrosse with a comeback of their own, but in the end fell short. Game 3 was a see-saw battle in that victory, and in game four, UW-LaCrosse pulled through for that victory. For the crucial game five, Deadrick was most pleased that the team earned that victory, as the 'Jackets tallied 7 kills and only committing 2 errors as they won their second conference game of the year (30-26, 33-35, 30-19, 29-31, 15-13). Against Platteville, the match turned out a little sluggish early on by both sides, as the 'Jackets tallied 14 kills and only committed three errors. Smarter and more relaxed play helped the 'Jackets feel at ease as they pulled out a game one victory. In game two, Deadrick mentioned that in this conference you ".can't ever let down," as UW-Platteville stole game two. Game three and four the 'Jackets continued to hit the ball well as scrappy defense and balanced attack by the front-row hitters that paved the way in the 'Jackets earning their third conference win (30-21, 26-30, 30-25, 30-25). Now the #6 'Jackets played their season finale in the Northland Triangle on Saturday in Ashland (Wisc.), but for now, they are going to go up against the #3 Bluegolds of UW-Eau Claire in the first round of the WIAC Conference Playoffs. Game starts at 7:00 tonight (October 30th) at UW-Eau Claire. October 29, 2007
‘Jacket’s volleyball implements reaching out in the community By Carl Lindquist
Teaching others can be so rewarding. But for the Lady 'Jacket’s volleyball squad, giving back to young girls for someone to look up to, was just their way of giving back to the community. But for a former alumni 'Jacket volleyball player, and a volunteer head coach for the 5th and 6th grade volleyball teams, they couldn't have been more thankful for the events they and their squads were a part of. Carla Welsch, a former alumni player from 1993-96, is now a volunteer assistant leader of 13 girls (7-8 yrs. old) for the Cathedral Brownie Troop 349 here in Superior. After Welsch was told by her 10 year-old daughter, Amber, how much she loved head coach Lynne Deadrick and assistant coach Lori Keute's volleyball camp, Welsch decided to network more with Keute at their church about forming a mini-clinic for the Brownies to earn their sport-and-game trait (badge). Along with Welsch’s colleague Jen Moder, she felt a mini volleyball clinic for the Brownies was the perfect opportunity for them to earn their trait. For that particular badge, they had to learn a sport, attend a game, exercise that sport, learn to make friends while in the process, learn to work together as a team, and have fun most importantly. “We’re just trying to give them successful building blocks,” said Welsch. Senior Courtney Stach and sophomore Kelsey Lesny both felt good for their contributions. “I feel the young girls look up to us big time,” said Stach. As for Lesny, she really liked to see the team do nice things for the younger girls. “They had so much fun with us,” said Lesny. “It breaks up practice a little bit, and gives it that variety.” A mini-clinic was formed on October 15th, as each 'Jacket volleyball player gave one of the Brownie Troops an autographed volleyball, as well as their insight on the game, and most importantly, their place as a role model in these young girls' lives. "They're learning how to get prepared in life," said Welsch. "I couldn't tell you how important it made them feel." After an autographed ball, a team warm up, and getting to watch a scrimmage of the ‘Jacket volleyball team, Welsch felt it became an overall good lesson for the future of the Brownie Troops. It goes to show that there are other organizations out there that are positive,” said Welsch. Even after that clinic, they first hand got to watch a match where the ‘Jackets beat UW-LaCrosse on October 19th. “Hopefully it sparked for them,” said Welsch. As for Shelley Banks, a volunteer coach for the 5th and 6th grade volleyball team (who are based out of Four Corners Elementary School), she was grateful that her team was able to watch a game for free on October 16th when the ‘Jackets defeated Finlandia. After that game, Banks noticed a trend in her players. “They came out with such an attitude about volleyball…that it amazed me!” Banks said proudly. With volleyball a scarce sport to get involved in for youth here in Superior, the YMCA is the only place with a volleyball program here in Superior, as Banks noted about a large dwindle in the community – especially after the Superior Volleyball Association (SVA) ended in 2003-04. But even because of that unfortunate occurrence, Banks is most satisfied that her girls are eager to attend camps here on campus to help better their skills. “Their abilities were up,” said Banks. “It’s nice to see the skills (in a ‘Jacket’s game) that we’ve been teaching them.” No matter what was taught, everyone gained something in the end – whether it was watching and analyzing a game, practicing with a team, or feeling important to younger girls knowing you helped them earn their badge, these experiences seemed invaluable for everyone in the end.

Lady ‘Jackets Shutout Opponent
Ben Hamill, Sports Writer The UW-Superior women’s soccer team shutout Northland Baptist Bible College last Friday, October 12, with a final score of 4-0. The Lady ‘Jackets were in much need of victory, having lost three straight games. The women started off well, going up 2-0 quickly, and just before the half Freshmen Bre Ean blasted a beautiful goal to give UWS a 3-0 lead at the half. The Lady ‘Jackets would add one more goal, and complete their shutout with Senior Emily Cochran between the posts. Consistency has been an issue with the women’s team, but Head Coach Chris Perez feels that fifth year Senior, Elyse Dowdell, has been the backbone for the ‘Jackets. “She brings effort every game, every practice. Elyse does the right things and creates for us offensively and she brings that experience, which is crucial in tough games,” he said. Coach Perez had even more praise for Elyse, “With her being a fifth year senior, she brings great maturity and leads by example.” The UW-Superior women thus far have compiled a record of 6-7-1, and with two conference games coming up next week, (October 17 @UW Eau-Claire and October 20 @UW Whitewater) coach Perez had this to say, “A successful season this year for us would be to get a conference victory, the women have continued to work hard and deserve a conference win. We will continue to improve as we finish up the season.” The Lady ‘Jackets will travel to UW Eau-Claire on Wednesday, October 17 in search of their first conference victory.
Yellowjackets Catching a Buzz
The UW-Superior men’s soccer team sneaked out a victory against Northland Baptist Bible College on Friday, October 12, to make it their fourth straight win. The final score was 4-3. The Yellowjackets had faced Northland Baptist earlier in the season, losing 3-1 on the road, but this time around the ‘Jackets were ready, and played well enough to earn the victory. UWS has continued its stretch of good soccer, and Head Coach Chris Perez had this to say about junior defender Nate Mikle,“He has been our most consistent player this season; he always plays hard and doesn’t make any mistakes. He is fundamentally sound.” Sophomore forward, Gubio Henrique, has begun to pick up where he left off last year with a school record 17 goals. “Gubio has been a wonderful addition to our program; he brings size up front and gives us many options out there on the field,” said Coach Perez. Mr. Perez also had one more thing to say about Gubio, “He’s starting to have fun.” The way the last two weeks have gone, (4-0) the Yellowjackets have much to smile about. UWS has three games left on the season, and are looking to finish strong. The Yellowjackets are currently 7-6-0, and will travel to UW-Whitewater on Saturday, October 20. According to Coach Perez, “We don’t have to win out in order to be successful this season; we will continue improving in every aspect of the game.”
Lindelof earns second WIAC Athlete of the Week at Pine Hill
Don’t plan too early on Friday to go drink, the Lady ‘Jackets volleyball team will need your beer-cheer
Carl Lindquist, Staff Writer
Can’t drinking wait on this Friday? Hopefully you don’t decide to go drink right after class on Friday, that can wait after the ‘Jackets hopefully beat UW-LaCrosse, and clinch a playoff-birth. The Lady ‘Jacket’s volleyball has to really be at their core now that they have to itch a win out of either UW-LaCrosse and UW-Platteville this Friday and Saturday night in order to make a playoff year. After a tough loss on Wednesday night (10/10) to UW-Eau Claire, which I would like to so proudly mention that I needed to go to UW-Eau Claire’s athletic website to get the box scores and stats since – either because the athletic department here can’t seem to find anyone to post the stats online, or they just don’t care to keep up on timeliness. I’m sorry, when the most recent game’s posted statistics are from when the ‘Jacket’s beat St. Scholastica here at home on October 3rd, that’s kinda sad – hate to break it to ya. As a sports/staff writer, let alone anyone student, fan, etc. who wants to keep up on how the volleyball team is doing, and to have to see such untimely material being posted, is quite ridiculous. Please someone just post the damn stats in a timely matter why don’t ya! Yes…so now that that is out of my system after feeling frustrated for so long, I will proceed with the game against UW-Eau Claire. The ‘Jacket’s were unable to get it going throughout the match, as the Blugolds took the lead, and never looked back. The ‘Jackets hit poorly accounting for .51, .64, and -.28 percent in the three games (.33 percent overall). Chelsie Christofferson had 9 kills to lead the ‘Jackets, while Anne LeBard had 13 digs to lead the team. The ‘Jackets have now lost their 24th straight match to the Blugolds, and have not won a game against the Blugolds since 2002. The loss put the ‘Jacket’s record to 13-12 (1-5 in WIAC). Now the ‘Jackets had a big non-conference tournament down in Iowa over the weekend, they’re going to have to really squeeze out their best against UW-LaCrosse on October 19th here at home. For UW-LaCrosse, Katelyn Carlson will be one of their two biggest hitting threats for the Eagles. As of October 12th, she’s been averaging 3.72 kills per game and is hitting a .245. Along with Carlson is Brianne Stankus who is averaging 3.45 kills per game, and is averaging a .291. Carlson and Stankus will be great tests for the ‘Jacket’s to see whether they can get back to a scrappy-style of game collectively. Getting Christofferson, Jessie Ebel, Kelsey Lesny, and Courtney Stach to block these two top hitters will dictate the momentum. I look for Samantha Blake, LeBard, and Kayla Finck, along with the rest of the back row defenders to really watch for setters going for the kill, as the Eagles may put that into play to throw off ‘Jacket front court defenders who may look for the hits coming from Carlson and Stankus. On offense, with how UW-LaCrosse has out-blocked their opponents 183.5-29 so far this season, I look towards Fairchild being more of a scorer in this contest by making those uncommon hits, and hopefully getting kills as a result. This will provide an unpredictable incentive to the Eagles, not knowing what the ‘Jackets will do next. If any of the ‘Jacket hitters are hot, don’t take them out until the Eagles stop her. Fairchild has been doing an outstanding job with the set this season, but timing the set, the jump, and getting it to the right spot will give the front row hitters an edge for how well they (Christofferson, Lesny, and Stach especially) will hit the ball. Not knowing how quick the Eagle defenders are on the block, I would look more to Lesny for her quick-hitting capabilities rather than Christofferson and Stach who possess more of a power hit that can pose difficulty for back row defenders. As a team, the biggest thing for the ‘Jacket’s is desperation. It is about momentum as well, but more-so how desperate the ‘Jackets are to keep the momentum. In any situation where the ‘Jackets lose momentum, I wonder if Coach Lynne Deadrick will make her team play through moments of potential struggle – rather than take a timeout when momentum is shifting to the other side. By far, I’d like to know what will give the ‘Jackets the charge they will so desperately need. I look to the seniors in Fairchild, LeBard, and Stach to provide some inspiration for this team coming out of the locker room Friday and Saturday night. Whether it’s getting the rest of the ‘Jackets angry because they don’t want to feel another failure from missing playoffs, or getting the team to laugh a little bit to calm nerves, they need the emotion if they are going to survive. The problem I see in this team is that there’s no little emotion. If they lose Friday against UW-LaCrosse, how desperate are the three seniors going to get for Saturday’s game – knowing there is no tomorrow if they lose? Hopefully their willingness to win will show for some great execution on the court. But we need you fans for their support! I’m hoping for an exciting battle. That game is at 7 p.m. here at home. Sports StingsSteve Basty, Sports Editor Jungle Rumble 79 (or so): Walters Victory a Safe Bet
If you happened to be walking by Mertz Mortorelli gym this week, you may have wondered what was up with all the beer banners, tables, and trucks. It was the host for Superior Showdown II boxing Saturday night, featuring the usual local stars Zach “Jungle Boy” Walters and Andy “Kaos” Kolle. The campus is no stranger to holding this boxing event, this being the third time UWS has held the event in the last two years. And every time the Promethean covered the event for the paper, whether the venue was Wessman Arena or Mertz Gym, there was one thing in common: it was always packed. There’s also something this bi-annual event has in common with another event we hold each year- Haugfest. And no, I’m not going to take any more shots at Haugfest like this paper has become notorious for. However, observing the crowd at Haugfest is pretty similar to discovering who’s at boxing events sponsored by Horton’s Gym held on campus. The more appropriate observation is who’s not at either of these events: Students! Why would students not want to attend a sporting event that features fighting, beer, and juicy ring girls, all in a heart-pounding atmosphere on their own campus? It’s simply not marketed for college students, just like Haugfest. Admission to Saturday night’s boxing event was $25 for bleacher seats, or $35 on the floor. For most college students, it’s well out of their budget range, but it certainly isn’t for gamblers, which as a rule, is the crowd predominantly drawn to boxing. Since we can reasonably assume that most of Saturday’s boxing crowd was there for more incentive than the sport itself, we can also figure out why the building was packed. And don’t give me “Oh yes, it was packed because of Zach “Jungle Boy” Walters, our local hero!” Give me a break. You’re really there for the loser he’s fighting against, some nobody who everybody in the building knows is going to get pummeled less than midway through the match. I’ll bet you complete strangers are all here only because you’re passionately in love with the sport of boxing. At least you can rake in more cash when Jungle Boy knocks out Joe ‘Wussy’ Schmo for his 57th TKO at UWS. Here’s a suggestion for Chuck Horton, promoter of boxing events held at UWS. Assuming you care about more than money, make it so UWS students can get involved. Give them a special rate for general admission with a valid student ID. Allocate a section for them to sit and watch the action. Put it way up high on the bleachers, if you want to. This way students aren’t preventing you from making the insane $1200 you charge for an 8-seat table to sit near the ring. UWS Director of Campus Recreation Jeff Dupont should also encourage a change like this to help include the campus community. All of a sudden, we’ve actually got an event catered for everyone instead of just the raging folks with large billfolds who I’ll refer to as “boxing enthusiasts”. Let’s consider taking the first step toward smoothing over this whole Jungle Rumble thing. If you’ve got the student body’s support, then you’d have a real event instead of a one-dimensional gong show.
