‘No one should be happy about this’
Delays continue for UCC renovation, deadline could move back two weeks
Gloria Dickie
NEWS EDITOR
Students counting on studying in the
newly renovated gym this exam
period may need to find another
venue. After months of setbacks,
renovations in the University Com-
munity Centre’s gym have hit anoth-
er speed bump.
The completion date currently set
for the renovations is March 25, but
Ely Rygier, vice-president finance for
the University Students’ Council,
explained, the deadline will probably
be pushed back another two or three
weeks.
“There’s been some discussion
between the contractor and the engi-
neers about the kind of concrete that
can be poured [on the floor of the
loft],” Paul Tomlinson, senior manag-
er facilities and operations for the
USC, said. “The contractor wanted to
use a concrete with Styrofoam pellets
in it and the engineers rejected this.”
Engineers wanted to use slag
instead, a different kind of additive
for the concrete. Discussions
between the two parties and order-

ing slag would take a week and a half
to two weeks, Tomlinson said.
He said he expected to see a new
schedule released next week, which
may include a new deadline.
But this is only the latest setback
in a project riddled with delays since
it was approved in a referendum last
year.
“We anticipated starting in early
July, but didn’t really get a contrac-
tor until August. Then there were
hazardous materials that had to be
dealt with which hadn’t been antici-
pated. Real demolition and con-
struction didn’t begin until Novem-
ber, we got a very late start because
of some contractual difficulties,”
Tomlinson explained. ”
From there, Tomlinson said they
came up against the usual construc-
tion issues, but they became a prob-
lem as the project was already four
months behind schedule right out of
the gate.
“It’s very frustrating to have so
many setbacks,” Tomlinson
expressed. “You always want the
projects to go smoothly, but they
never do — this one in particular.”

LOOKS LIKE A COZY STUDY SPOT. Renovations to the University Community Centre are facing another delay after a dispute
over the type of concrete being used. The project was originally slated for 2010 completion date but could now end in April.
While two or three weeks may not
seem like a big difference, for many
graduating students this will mean
the completion of the project will fall
outside of their time at Western.
“Obviously people aren’t happy,
and they have every right not to be
happy, because I’m not happy,” Rygi-

Endless lineups for ATMs on campus
may begin to diminish since Subway,
Booster Juice, and Williams Coffee
Pub are now accepting debit as an
alternative to meal plan cards and
cash.
“This is definitely a result of stu-
dents requesting it,” Brian Fliss,
supervisor at Subway, explained. “We
have a lot of students coming in ask-
ing if we offer debit, so this gives peo-
ple the opportunity to not have to go
and stand in lines at a bank machine.”
Margaret Eldridge, accounting

the delays and said it was a series of
unfortunate mistakes.
“We have a construction team
working on the project who bid a little
bit lower than they had expected and
then on top of that, just acts of God.”
The final elements of the renova-
tion to be completed are the con-
struction of the stage, concrete
blocks for the washroom, spraying
food,” she explained. “I’m not saying
we are not going to offer it at other
places in the future, but we wanted
to test it out at these locations first.”
Although line-ups for the busier
food retailers can be extremely long
at times, they are not the main rea-
son debit has been introduced.
Eldridge doubts debit will have any
affect on the lines at all.
“The food is prepped at the
beginning and it is very rare that you
see line-ups at the cash registers,”
she explained.
Fliss explained long lines are a
concern when planning and manag-
ing food outlets on campus.
“We have our goal times from
when people start in the line to when
they finish. The technology nowadays
is so fast that it should only be taking
five or 10 seconds extra per person.”

Students’ Council, similar changes
will be made to The Spoke following
demand from the student population.
“Right now there is a dual push
by students,” Rygier explained. “Stu-
dents would like to see debit and
credit introduced to The Spoke and
at the same time they would like to
see something done about the lines.
We are trying to tackle both of these
problems simultaneously.”
However, students should make
sure to keep cash or meal plan cards
on them until at least September if
they plan on purchasing food at The
Spoke.
“If there is going to be any reno-
vation work done, we cannot shut
The Spoke down for four weeks at a

Alumni less likely to donate
Relationship with Western to blame: Goldthorpe
Alex Carmona
GAZETTE STAFF
Western may need to step up its
game if it wants to keep alumni
donations rolling in. In a recent sur-
vey regarding Western’s brand, 57
per cent of alumni respondents stat-
ed they had made a donation to
Western, though only 50 per cent
stated they would donate again.
“These statistics shouldn’t be
misinterpreted. They don’t mean
that we’re looking at a seven per cent
decrease in donations. It’s been a
very solid fiscal year. Donations are
actually up from last year,” said
Kevin Goldthorpe, vice-president
external at Western, who oversees
alumni donations at Western.
“The problem isn’t the actual per-
centage decrease between the num-
bers of alumni who donated and
those who plan to donate again,”
Goldthorpe continued. “The issue is
that there was a drop at all.”
Goldthorpe explained the major
problem these statistics illustrate is
fundamentally connected to alumni
satisfaction. It has been noticed
Western’s alumni seem to be less
and less satisfied with their relation-
ship with their alma mater after they
graduate. This comes despite West-
ern’s rather illustrious reputation
among other universities in Canada
in the realm of alumni relations,
Goldthorpe said.
“As much as we are recognized as
being one the best schools in the
country for alumni programs, our

satisfaction issue,” Goldthorpe stated.
“We’re satisfying parts, but not all
of the alumni community, and that
is showing up in the intent to donate
in the future versus donations in the
past.”
This comes on the heels of a
recent Maclean’s study, which noted
due to increasingly impersonal uni-
versity policies in Canada, young
alumni in particular are less likely to
feel intimately connected with their
university after they graduate. This
in turn affects alumni donations.
“It makes sense,” Nicole Fassina,
communications officer for the Uni-
versity Students’ Council, said.
“I would want to donate to some-
thing I felt personally connected to
and has changed my life in a more
intimate way.”
Fassina added she felt students at
Western do have the opportunity dur-
ing their time here to forge an intimate
relationship with the university.
“There are so many opportunities
for doing that here at Western. You
just need to find your niche,” Fassina
said.
Goldthorpe attended last

cussed how Western could enhance
alumni satisfaction.

engaged for the entire duration of

ty, from the moment you apply

Goldthorpe said.

Campus > March Referendum
WUSC nears referendum
New student fee proposed on March ballot
Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
The Western branch of the World
University Service Canada will
soon see their proposed levy on
March’s referendum. If approved,
it will be the first such fee for a
University Students’ Council club.
The referendum will ask students
if they want approve a 52 cent fee per
student for the campus club. The fee
would support and grow the WUSC
program, which funds refugee stu-
dents’ journey to Canada and com-
pletion of a degree at Western,
according to James Goacher, presi-
dent of Western’s WUSC branch.
Refugee students currently
receive three years of funding from
the club and have many of their
other fees waived.
The USC originally proposed a
referendum for the fee last semester,

Video games played for 40 hours straight
WE CAN’T BELIEVE THE GAZETTE DIDN’T ALREADY OWN THIS RECORD. Two Western students played video games for 40

GAZETTE STAFF
Two Western students now hold a
Guinness World Record after playing
a first-person shooter game for 40
hours straight, putting the long-run-
ning student tradition of staying up
and playing video games to good use.
The record-breaking event,
which raised money for cancer
research, took place in the Univer-
sity Community Centre from
Wednesday to Friday last week. It
was organized by Kurtis Pliniussen
and Matt Belford, who are part of
the group Gaming4Cancer. The two
played Halo: Reach for a record 40
hours straight, cycling through the
campaign, firefight and multiplayer
modes.
The fundraiser also set a new
record for longest time playing a
first-person shooter game, breaking
the previous record of 33 hours set
in November 2010 in the United
but soon reversed its decision, say-
ing they didn’t consider the implica-
tions of giving a club guaranteed
funding.
WUSC proceeded to gather the
necessary 3,000 signatures in order
to create a student-initiated referen-
dum instead.
Marino Felice, president of the
HBAA Students’ Council, was
involved in the decision to can the
original referendum and said he’s
disappointed a new referendum was
granted. He also expressed some
concerns over WUSC’s inability to
produce the breakdown of where
the fee would be going.
“I think it’s a clear indication of
council’s inability to distinguish
social issues from USC structural
issues,” he said.
After the first referendum was
nixed, Felice proposed to continue
WUSC’s current fee structure and
Kingdom.
According to Pliniussen, the
event raised over $2,500. While
some of the money was donated by
businesses, the group was very
happy with the $600 donated by
various students.
“A lot of kids just came up, either
because they like Halo, or they’re
drunk after The Spoke, or they saw
Canadian Cancer Society,” Pliniussen
said. “I didn’t realize it was going to
be like that. I thought kids would just
say, ‘Cool, Halo,’ and walk away.”
Rather than stocking up on inhu-
man amounts of sugar, Belford and
Pliniussen found a healthy diet was
more beneficial for the 40-hour
marathon.
“I ate a ton of candy the night
before, which made me feel really
bad. So we decided to go the other
way and just eat really healthy food,”
Pliniussen explained.
The event was part of the Canadi-
an Cancer Society’s Community Part-
implement a new policy allowing all
clubs to apply for extra funding from
student fees.
“The USC is in no position to
decide which clubs should be
allowed to go to referendum,” Felice
explained. “The only way to prevent
this criticism is by letting all clubs go
to referendum, which will result in
no levy for any clubs, since students
are unlikely to support all of them
and you need a certain percentage
to pass.”
But Goacher explained students
educated about the program sup-
port the fee increase.
“It’s been the same from the
beginning. As soon as people under-
stand what we’re doing, they’re very
supportive. Our challenge has and
will continue to be getting the cor-
rect message to the student popula-
tion.”

“The events vary […] but this one
was definitely a unique one,” said
Krista Kankula, the fundraising co-
ordinator for the Canadian Cancer
Society. “This is one of the first types
of gaming events combined with a
world record.”
According to Pliniussen, the
inspiration for this event came from
the Food Network show Glutton for
Punishment, in which the host Bob
Blumer breaks world records. Plin-
iussen, however, doesn’t think much
of the host.
“I thought if Bob Blumer can
break world records, why can’t I?”
Belford and Pliniussen decided to
make the event a fundraiser, hoping
the hype surrounding the event
could translate into donations.
News Briefs
Attack on the
ethnosphere
The ethnosphere is in danger — or so
says Wade Davis. The noted anthro-
pologist will be speaking on the topic
at Western this Friday, March 11.
Students United in Representa-
tion of Latin America is organizing
the event in association with sever-
al other cultural clubs.
Pablo Rosas, vice-president of
events for SUR-LA, explained Davis
is an advocate for cultural diversity.
“He travels around the world liv-
ing with remote cultures and he
writes about and photographs the
way they live,” he said. Davis uses
these photographs as visual aids to
his presentations, in which he high-
lights the importance of preserving
cultural diversity.
The topic of Davis’ speech is
“Humanity’s Greatest Legacy: The
Ethnosphere.” According to Rosas,
ethnosphere is a term Davis coined
to describe the relationship between
language and culture around the
world.
By bringing Davis to Western,
SUR-LA hopes to remind students
about the importance of maintain-
ing diversity on campus.
“We think Wade Davis is a very
important speaker, to first of all
explain what diversity is all about,
and why diversity is important to
us,” Rosas said. “So I think it’s going
to remind the Western community
of what the real essence of diversi-
ty is.”

Nader coming
to Western
Ralph Nader, four-time U.S. presiden-
tial candidate, consumer advocate
and lawyer, is headed to Western to
talk about Canada-U.S. relations.
Nader will be presenting the
inaugural lecture of the Visiting Fel-
lows Program, which will discuss the
facets of Canada’s important rela-
tionship with the U.S.
The event is sponsored by the
Canada-U.S. Institute at Western —
the first interdisciplinary institute in
Canada devoted entirely to studying
the relationship between the two
countries.
The purpose of the Visiting Fel-
lows Program, according to Donald
Abelson, director of the Canada-
U.S. Institute, “is to bring distin-
guished policy-makers, academics,
journalists, authors and other opin-
ion leaders who can speak and write
about Canada-U.S. relations.”
Nader was named one of TIME
Magazine‘s top 100 most influential
people of the 20th century.
“We felt Mr. Nader would be an
ideal person to speak about the dif-
ferences and similarities between
our two countries,” Abelson said.
The program will be held on
March 15 at 5:15 p.m. in Rm. 145 of the
Natural Sciences Centre. Tickets are
available at InfoSource in the Uni-
versity Community Centre or online

Passionfool displays other forms of Terrorism

‘It’s an examination of real life,’ director explains
Erin Torrance
CONTRIBUTOR
The word terrorism can evoke dif-
ferent sentiments for different peo-
ple. It can inspire scenes of 9/11, and
often connects us to the feeling of
fear. However, Passionfool’s newest
production places terrorism on a
personal level. Passionfool presents
the Presnyakov Brothers’ 2000 pro-
duction Terrorism this month at The
Arts Project in downtown London.
Terrorism is a series of six scenes.
It begins when unclaimed suitcases
found on an airport runway are
thought to be a potential bomb
threat. The passengers of the flight
are then delayed at the airport as
their flight is cancelled.
The following scenes explore an
adulterous relationship, a suicide in
an office, a plotted murder, and an
instance of bullying among cadets.
The final scene reveals a com-
mon thread between the passengers
as they finally prepare for takeoff.
Passionfool Theatre prides itself
on delivering thought-provoking
work and Terrorism is meant to elic-
it self-examination. The interplay
between the audience’s prior inter-
pretation of global terrorism and the
realization about personal terrorism
supports Passionfool’s aim to incite

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT HALLOWEEN COSTUME. Passionfool Theatre presents a thought-provoking and self-examining “As opposed to an escape, it’s an
production at The Arts Project. examination of real life,” says direc-
tor and Passionfool co-founder
Justin Quesnelle. “You don’t need a
plane flying into a building to be a
victim of terrorism. We’ll manipulate
everybody, everyday, all the time to
get what we want. Terrorism is actu-
ally about the ways that we all
manipulate others through fear, how
we are all controlled by fear and
how, if we are not careful, fear can
dominate all of our choices and all
of our actions.”
Terrorism is known for its use of
dark humour and takes a sarcastic
approach to bleak issues.
“It’s very engaging, very thought-
provoking, and very funny — but it’s
the kind of funny where you catch
yourself laughing and then feel bad
for it,” Quesnelle says.
While Quesnelle does not reveal
how The Arts Project’s theatre space
will be used to put on the produc-
tion, he acknowledges that the stage
– which consists of a simple black
room — has never been used the
same way twice in their production
history.
Terrorism opens March 10 at 8 p.m.
with a pay-what-you-can preview
night. It will run until March 26 with
additional matinee performances on
Saturdays. Tickets can be purchased at
The Arts Project for $20. For more

Raising money one outfit at a time

Whitney Slightham
CONTRIBUTOR
It’s 10 p.m. at Rouge on Saturday
night and “Black and Yellow” rever-
berates through the club as guests
wait patiently. The bass becomes
more energetic as the first model
struts down the runway wearing a
chic-looking black, cropped jacket,
an exposed chest and white tapered
pants with black wedge booties. The
show has begun.
The UWO Fashion and Lifestyle
Society’s fashion show titled “Time-
less Fashion” raised money for
Rethink Breast Cancer this past Sat-
urday. The society met their goal of
raising $500 for the cause. The show
featured seven different sets that
presented modern interpretations of
distinct looks from each of the eras.
These eras included military, ‘50s
glam, ‘60s mod, ‘70s Woodstock,
women’s empowerment, lingerie,
‘90s grunge and a prediction for the
future of fashion.
“Fashion and style are two very
different things,” says Katherine
Hope, co-head fashion stylist. “Fash-
ion is an art, while style is an expres-
sion of who you are and what makes
you feel beautiful.”
Both were exhibited at the show
on Saturday.
The military set featured neutral
and navy tones, crisp lines, collared
shirts and loose linen fabrics, while
the ‘60s Twiggy-inspired set exhibit-
ed vibrant warm hues, bold jewelry
and feminine contours. Each model
in the ‘70s hippie-themed set tossed
handfuls of fresh rose petals at the
audience as they posed in baggy
clothing, bare legs, head wraps, thick
belts and earthy tones – a unique
and organic touch.
The “women’s empowerment” set
consisted of tailored power suits
with deep V-neck button-downs and
pencil skirts. One of the most
notable looks featured a half tucked-
in over-sized cropped lace top, a
pencil skirt, a vintage leather
detailed belt, and a backwards pen-
dant necklace which hung gently
down the model’s back. A distin-
guished look for men included olive
green pants, a light blue checkered

button-down and a red tie – innova-
tive, bold and classy.
But according to Sarah Prince, the
Fashion and Lifestyle Society’s vice-
for all
president of communications, the
show wasn’t easy to put together.
“[It was] a huge success, even
artists!
though seven of the models dropped
out of the project within the week
prior to the show,” says Prince.

The Adjustment Bureau surprisingly romantic
Laura Trabucco
CONTRIBUTOR
The Adjustment Bureau
Directed by: George Nolfi
Starring: Matt Damon, Emily Blunt,
Antony Mackie
Does free will exist? How much of
the choices we make are really up to
us? Such are the questions provoked
and tackled by George Nolfi’s ener-
getic new movie The Adjustment
Bureau.
The romantic fantasy thriller is
loosely based on the Philip K. Dick
short story Adjustment Team. The
story begins on the campaign trail
of ambitious congressman David
Norris (Matt Damon). Damon
milks his all-American good looks
and natural charisma to play the
charming politician. By chance, on
election night David meets the
mysterious Elise (Emily Blunt), a
ballerina with a cheeky sense of
humour. Director George Nolfi
effectively capitalizes on the clas-
sic Hollywood cliché of love-at-
first-sight, made strangely con-
vincing by the electric chemistry
between Blunt and Damon.
From the beginning of the film, a

Oatmeal pancakes
with maple butter
Pancakes are a popular breakfast
food, but after a while the usual
chocolate chips and fruit add-ins can
get boring. To spice up your pan-
cakes, you can add oats to your mix.
We found this adds a bit more sub-
stance and will fill you up for longer
than regular pancakes. The Gazette
Oatmeal Pancakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup rolled oats
1 cup flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla
group of dignified men in fedoras
and trench coats lurk in the back-
ground, watching the pair. Their
cryptic dialogue adds an eerie,
supernatural element to the film.
The audience soon learns the group
calls themselves “The Adjustment
Team” and they are there to ensure
something called “The Plan” unfolds
the way it should.
For reasons that are left unclear
for much of the movie, Elise and
David are not allowed to be togeth-
er and are forced to struggle against
the supernaturally powerful Adjust-
ment Team.
The Plan is endlessly tweaked –
phones lines die, traffic jams are
caused – to keep Elise and David
apart. No consideration is made for
the ordinary people around them,
such as those who are forced to
endure the car accidents and missed
phone calls, leaving a hole in an oth-
erwise clever story.
The doom and gloom warnings
that their love will ruin the grandiose
Plan seems contrived given the sud-
denness of their romance, but the
characters are likeable enough that
you want them to be together any-
way. While the action rushes on with
the heroic David running frantically
over Manhattan searching for his
true love, the plot unveils itself –
tested this oatmeal pancake recipe
and found it easy and delicious. To
add a bit of extra flavour you can use
maple butter instead of regular but-
ter to top off your pancakes. It only
takes about 20 minutes to make this
healthy and balanced breakfast.

Directions:
1. Soak rolled oats in milk for
approximately 10 minutes
2. Mix dry ingredients
3. Add wet ingredients and mix with
a fork until ingredients are mixed
through
4. Let batter stand for five minutes
before cooking
5. Serve with butter and maple
syrup and sprinkle with cinnamon
for extra flavour

Making a film in 62 hours
Ashley Perl
GAZETTE STAFF
Sixty-two hours is just over two and
a half days.
In that time many students
would probably go to class, sleep, go
to the gym, do readings, buy gro-
ceries, and maybe spend some time
with friends. But what about creat-
ing a film from start to finish?
It’s possible. The London Fringe
is presenting its third annual 62-
Hour Short Film Festival, which
challenges filmmakers to write,
rehearse, shoot and edit a short film
all within a 62-hour time frame.
Allison Challis of London Fringe
emphasizes the event is open to any
filmmakers – no experience is nec-
essary. Whether you’ve never made

Vulgar, graphic and often
painfully honest, Tyler’s lyrics on

easily lull the listener into a false

Christina Perri –
“Jar of Hearts”
How can such a sad song sound so
pretty?
Christina Perri’s “Jar of Hearts”
sounds beautiful upon first listen, yet
the lyrics are full of heartbreak.
“Jar of Hearts” was written about
Perri’s ex-husband. She posted in
her blog that she wrote the song in
her childhood bedroom about a boy
that her “heart wanted to see but her
head knew better.”
The overall tone of the song is
peaceful and the soft piano is a great
complement to Perri’s beautiful and
strong vocals.

through the OUA East with ridicu-
lous ease — they had a 24-2-2 record
during the regular season and lost a
single game in the playoffs.
They have averaged about five
goals a game all year and they are
pretty good defensively too. In other
words, you can’t give them a two–
goal lead and expect to come back.
You also can’t expect Anthony
Grieco to shut them down if you
decide to take a period or two off.
It gets even tougher at the
national championships in New
Brunswick. Here is a collection of
the teams that will be there: #1 UNB,
#2 McGill, #3 Alberta, #7 Calgary and
either #4 St. Mary’s or #6 St. Francis
Xavier. In other words, the fifth-
ranked Mustangs are, on paper, not
even in the top half of the teams at
the tournament.
And that means, if they don’t find
a way to play a full 60 minutes, then
it’s going to be a very short trip to the
Maritimes.

Mustangs bounce back
Hutzler helps lead team to crucial victory

Exactly one week after their disap-
pointing loss to Laurier, the Mus-
tangs women’s basketball team
rebounded on Saturday at Alumni
Hall.
It was do-or-die for the Mustangs
as they took on the 14-8 Ottawa
Gee-Gees for fifth-place and a spot
in a national championship region-
al qualifying tournament.
With the stakes this high, it was
only fitting Western’s star forward
Matteke Hutzler would dominate by
scoring a game-high 21 points while
grabbing four rebounds and four
steals in the 60-44 victory.
“Matteke is a three-time Canadi-
an Interuniversity Sport champion
[with Simon Fraser University] and
we expect her to lead our team every
game,” head coach Stephen Barrie
said about the fifth-year senior. “She
had no interest in losing such an
important game.”

Western sweeps Gryphons to win OUA West
Failure to play full game doesn’t cost superior Mustangs yet

If nothing else, this past weekend’s
series against the Guelph Gryphons
proved that the Western Mustangs
men’s hockey team is far better than
the rest of the Ontario University
West division.
The only problem is they don’t
always play like it. And it’s something
that will kill them if it doesn’t stop
before this Saturday’s Queen’s Cup —
the OUA championship.
The Mustangs have made a bit of
a habit of starting games terribly.
They almost seem disinterested. Yet
they choose a moment in each game
to suddenly show up and embarrass
their opposition in the process.
“We just try to stick to our game
plan. Get the pucks deep and wear
their defence out. When the D is

the half with an 8-2 run.
Throughout the entire first half
and much of the second, the Gee-
Gees tried to force turnovers with
their full-court press.
“We tried to press them because
we are a smaller team,” Gee-Gees
head coach Andy Sparks said. “We
hoped to create some turnovers in
order to compensate for our lack of
size.”
However, the Mustangs handled
the press with skill and patience,
committing very few turnovers in
the process.
Midway through the third quar-
ter, the Gee-Gees went on a run of
their own and by the 4:19 mark the
Mustangs were clinging to a 37-33
lead.
The Gee-Gees maintained the
pressure to start the fourth quarter.
But after some excellent ball move-
ment, a three-point jump shot from
Mustang guard Laura Dally was the
dagger, putting the Mustangs up by
13 late in the quarter.
“Throughout the season we were
never able to play a full 40-minute
game. We would go on great runs,
but we had a tough time maintain-
ing our momentum,” Sparks said.
“We are a young team and it showed
We played well for 40
minutes. We had a lot
of chances in the first
and second period
where we could have
pulled away from them.

Gryphons head coach
On losing despite playing better
for most of the game
are moving their feet, we are a tough
team to beat,” Mustangs third-year
forward Keaton Turkiewicz said.
If only they played that way for
an entire game. But playing to their
full potential for just a period was a
winning formula against Windsor
and Waterloo earlier in the playoffs
and they were at it again in round
three against Guelph this past week.
In game one, the Mustangs were
awful for the first two periods.
Guelph was by far the better team.
today. But I’m proud of them. We
have a solid recruiting class coming
in next year, so the future of this pro-
gram is in good shape.”
Neither team dominated on the
board, but the Mustangs’ 12 offensive
rebounds gave them some much-
needed second chances. In particu-
lar, Katelyn Leddy and Lacey Knox’s
four offensive rebounds each caused
the Gee-Gees all sorts of problems.
“My job on the team is to do the
dirty work and get as many rebounds
as I can,” Leddy said. “It’s great play-
ing with Matteke because we can
share the workload down low.”
Hutzler was impressed by the
rebounding effort from the entire
team.
“Katelyn did a great job rebound-
ing today. Also, we got solid
rebounding input from our guards,
in particular Knox and Dally,” Hut-
zler added. “Our team rebounding as
a whole was very solid, and definite-
ly contributed to the win.”
It appears the Mustangs put their
loss to Laurier behind them and are
now optimistic about the future.
“I think that we learned our les-
son from the Laurier game,” Barrie
said. “It’s not okay to play timid and
we need to be the aggressors.”
They spent two periods taking
penalties, turning the puck over and
relying on goaltender Anthony
Grieco to keep them in the game.
“We played well for 40 minutes.
We had a lot of chances in the first
and second period where we could
have pulled away from them,”
Gryphons head coach Shawn Camp
said.
But Western finally decided to
play to their capability. They scored
three goals in the third, thoroughly
outplaying the Gryphons. The shot
total difference was 16-7 for the
Mustangs. It seemed to be even
more one-sided than that. Let’s just
say at that point, the Gryphons were
lucky to escape with just a 4-1 loss.
“We got better as the game went
on. I thought we were okay but we
need to be better,” Singer said.
Singer didn’t really get his wish.
The desperate Gryphons came out
on fire against Western. They killed
off an early penalty and then pro-
ceeded to bury two early goals, while
outshooting the Mustangs 9-1 in the
first 10 minutes of the game.
But once again, Western finally
