From the Editor
I hope you all had a good break from school and are coming back to class
rested and ready to go. I had a lovely break, but will not be returning either
rested or rejuvenated. For me, classes began on January 5th. I started doing my
student teaching internship at Clarkston High School. While you guys were
sleeping in and watching Netflix, I was waking up at 5:30am and learning the
names and interests of 120 teenagers.
People don’t understand teachers. From the question “why would you
want to be a teacher?” to such delightful comments as “you know that teachers
don’t make much money right?” Yes. I know that teachers do not make very
much money. Nobody goes in to teaching to become a billionaire. People
don’t understand the job stress. They don’t understand the demands or the
motivations or stresses.
If you happen to catch a glimpse of me on campus this semester, I will
probably be frantically running to and fro, with my hair a mess and a general
air of panic around, because I have essays to grade and things to do. I apologize
in advance if I am short with you. It is not intentional.
Lindsey Keatts
Well folks, we’re back.
Hopefully you all had a safe and enjoyable winter break. It always
seems difficult to come back after a month off, though I’m sure most
of us are happy to start the semester with a clean slate.
It can be a stressful time, with the new schedules, financial necessities,
and the like, but it can also be kind of exciting. Some may think I’m
weird, but I love planning my schedule, and organizing things to get
ready for school. I’m a planner. I like to be prepared. Some of you may
not be like me, and that’s perfectly acceptable. If you are content to
show up to class the first day to figure out what you need, then order
your materials, be all means do! I, unfortunately, cannot allow myself
to do that. Maybe it’s a little bit of an OCD thing. Who knows?
Welcome back, and enjoy the first week of the semester.

I am a very busy person. Between
my classes and work, I spend roughly
27 million hours on campus each
week. Then, like most other students,
I go home and I have responsibilities
there too. It doesn’t leave much time
for anything else.
My hectic schedule was the reason
that several months ago I decided to
try online dating in my search for the
elusive “one for me”. I downloaded
the apps and uploaded the pictures.
I have forgotten how many apps I
downloaded, each with features I did
and did not like. I filled out countless
“about me” boxes. I did all the things
that the little tips section said to do.
Finally, my efforts paid off.
Somebody messaged me. I went
to my inbox, all excited to see this
wonderful guy who liked me. He was
63 and lived in Australia. So upon
deleting the message unread, I asked
myself what about my profile would
interest a man so much older than
myself.
I looked at my pictures. I was
sensibly dressed, not showing too
much skin. I scrolled down. My
profile talked about the importance
of my family, which activities I enjoy,
and listed some of my favorite books
and movies. I saw what had attracted
the older man.
So I changed it. I uploaded some
pictures wearing cute dresses or lower
January 21, 2015
Opinion
cut blouses. The messages started
rolling in. Men covered in tattoos or
piercings telling me in not so polite
language what they would like to do
with me.
Now don’t get the wrong idea
here, I am not saying that all guys
with tattoos or piercings are weird or
perverts or anything else, but what
happened to respect? Romance?
Trying to get to know a girl as a person
instead of as a physical object?
Apparently these are not common
on online dating sites. So I changed
my profile again, for the last time. I
put back up the pictures that I was
comfortable in, regardless of which
ones were “sexy” or “old fashioned”.
I was honest in that little paragraph
about my likes and dislikes, and also
about my expectations.
Then I uploaded one more picture.
One of me holding my hedgehog,
Rue. Apparently that was the trick
all along. Now I get several messages
every day. “Is that a hedgehog?!?!?!”
Why yes, yes it is. So we chat about
my hedgehog and their pets and
my skydiving experience and their
bucket list.
Apparently the trick to getting
attention on the web (of course, this
depends on what kind of attention
you are looking for) is to have pictures
with pets. If you have a crazy weird
pet like me, that’s great, but Lassie
will work too.
Now every morning I sit with my
steaming mug of hot chocolate and
flip through my matches. It is really
quite amusing. Sometimes I know
the people. Sometimes they are
strangers. Sometimes they live close
(I have a distance filter set usually).
Sometimes they live far away.
Honestly, some of the profiles
are so overdone as to be amusing.
It can be cathartic, like reading the
Sunday comics. It is fun to see the
snap judgments that I make, and
that I know others make as well. I
scroll through the list of “eligible
bachelors”. Too old. Too young. Too
many divorces. Hey, that’s a mug
shot, he must be a winner.
And then there are the deceptive
profiles. The silhouette of some guy
riding a horse, or skiing down a hill,
face fully covered in a mask. More
often than not, upon seeing better
pictures of them, I wish they would
put the mask back on.
Some people have told me that I
am too picky about too many things.
But I don’t think I am. After all, I
am looking for a soul mate. I want
to spend the rest of my life with this
person; I don’t want to feel like I’m
settling. I have some very specific
things that I want in a partner, but at
the end of the day I think we all know
that the heart works independently

Professor Profile
Featuring Kimberly
Tolson

of the Pathfinder
This week’s professor profile
spotlight is on Kimberly Tolson,
adjunct instructor here at LewisClark State College, where
she works in the Humanities
Division, teaching English 101
and 102.
Kimberly Tolson is from a
military family. She attended
high school in Kansas and after
graduating, Tolson went on to
Oklahoma State University in
Stillwater, Oklahoma. Tolson was
working towards an architecture
major before she took a films class
which got her thinking. Changing
her direction of study, she went
in to Film Studies and Modern
Literature, loving anything to do
with pop culture. She also wrote
for her school newspaper.
Tolson wasn’t on the course to
become a teacher, but after taking
a job as a teacher’s assistant,
all in the hopes to help with
grad school, she found her love
of the profession. She didn’t
immediately become a teacher
though and found a part time
job working for a board game
company, traveling to trade
shows to sell the games. It wasn’t
until her partner, Louis Sylvester
(also a teacher here at LCSC),
applied for a teaching position in
Lewiston, Idaho. The two came
down for the interview and fell in
love with the area right away.
There is a saying that ‘one
learns something new everyday,’
and, despite the title, this cannot
be more true for teachers. Tolson
believes herself to be a perpetual
learner, more so for her time spent
among the students. She loves
finds 102 to be more of a favorite.
She states, “The student’s have
completed 101 and know what
to expect in 102. They have
gone through the learning curve
and have become more focused
and they have more confidence
in themselves.” Tolson loves to
learn from her students, finding
the work engaging and fun. As
an adjunct teacher, Tolson also
teaches classes as Walla Walla
Community College at the
Clarkston campus.
Tolson has many hobbies on
the side of her teaching career.
She loves to read, watch movies,
and play video games. She has
also become active in the Lewiston
Civic Theatre where she performs
two shows a year, her recent one
being “Young Frankenstein”. She
and Louis also still travel to trade
shows on the side.
Tolson can be found in the art
building, room 200, and you can

Book Review
A thief, a sorceress, and the
girl who would be queen
By Moriah Hale
of the Pathfinder
Hoping to be rid of a decaying
world and be free of modern
technology, a group of people set
off to find a new world, but the
intended new beginnings didn’t
last long.
In Erika Johansen’s book,
“The Queen of the Tearling”,
three hundred years have passed
since the crossing. A feudal
society has arisen with the land
split into three fearful nations
who pay tribute to a fourth: the
powerful Mortmense, ruled by
the cunning Red Queen. Kelsea
Raleigh, the next queen of the
Tearling, hidden away until
her nineteenth birthday, even
thought to be long dead, must
return to claim her throne.
With an escort to return her to
New London, Kelsea finds herself
taken from the people who raised
her, to never return. The journey
is perilous and there
Photo courtesy of HarperCollins
are those who do not wish her
to be crowned. In an epic battle
between light and darkness,
Kelsea must claim her throne,
learn to become a queen, and
combat a malevolent sorceress.
After months of extreme
busyness, this book was like
a breath of fresh air for me.
The first thing that caught my
attention before I even started
reading was the intriguing plot.
The idea of the modern world
crumbling isn’t very original, but
the thought that life might be
capable of going backwards to a
time of feudalistic ideals is very
creative.
Erika’s way with words and
storytelling kept me riveted to
the book. The story is in third
person, looking through Kelsea’s
eyes, but the author took some
moments to stray and make
account of transpirings among
other characters. This concept is
not always in the interest of the
author, but Erika made it work,
giving the reader a broader view
of the story and the other people
who live amongst the pages.
I would recommend this book
to anyone, and since the story is
in the production of becoming a
movie we shall see if it lives up to
the praise.

Senate Summary
Music Review
Listen to 1989 today
By Sam White
of the Pathfinder
Taylor Swift’s newest CD,
1989 drops the pretense of
falling into the category of
country music and accepts
pop as its new genre. The
thirteen songs are three to
four minute flash-fictions
that give the audience a way
to channel their emotions.
Swift’s 1989 released in
October of 2014 and though
well-received, also rubbed
many the wrong way. The
artist has faced controversy
for removing her entire
discography from the online
music sharing website Spotify
upon the release. Despite this
decision, and the backlash
from many who believe music
should be free (me among
them) her newest CD is
worth the purchase. Even for
people who are not hardened
“swifties,” the music is highly
uplifting and self-assuring.
The songs are a little more
mature, with lyrics like “You’ll
see me in hindsight / Tangled
up with you all night” from
“Wildest Dreams.” Also with
phrases such as “Tossing,
turning, struggled through
the night with someone new
/ Lantern, burning, flickered
through the night only for
you” from “This Love,” Swift
connects to her older fans.
Still, many accuse her of
writing too many teenage
love songs. I would argue
that despite her media-spun
reputation as a promiscuous
heart-breaker, this album’s
theme is less romantic
love than self-love. Songs
“Welcome to New York,”
“Shake it Off,” and “Blank
Space” discuss new chapters
in life and how to disregard
negative influences.
Though the songs “Blank
Space” and “Shake It Off” are
the two most well-known and
radio-blasted songs off the
album, they are not the only
ones worth a listen. The fifth
song on the track “All You
Had to Do Was Stay” throws
the listener into a whirlwind
of retrospect, confusion
and wishing for what
is lost. “I Wish You
Would” focuses on
regret, insomnia and
hopelessness.
With 1989, Swift
has shown she is not
a passing pop-star,
but someone who has
planted her feet in the
music industry, and I
expect her to stay for
a while. For those who
know Taylor Swift’s
music, this is a more mature
version than we have seen
as of late, yet much more
relatable. For people who

This Week in Science
One man against the odds
By Samantha Gump
of the Pathfinder
Hello and welcome back LCSC students! I hope that all of you had a fantastic winter break as I do know
at least one gentleman did. Leslie Baugh.
Many years ago, Baugh was in an accident that requires both of his arms be amputated at the shoulder.
He never thought in his wildest dreams that he would once more have the ability to use them again.
Thanks to a very special science team that has worked tirelessly over the past ten years at Tom Hopkins
University, Bough is now equipped with two robotic arms.
Getting Bough ready was not an easy process. He was required to undergo several surgeries to reroute
several of his nerves so the nerves could then work in conjunction with the pattern recognition algorithms
that would allow Bough to use his new limbs as we would our own.
After a mere ten days of training Bough was able to move objects and for the first time in history,
simultaneously work each limb individually with just his thoughts.
John Hopkins University is now hoping to be able to issue Bough a pair of his own robotic arms to
take home with him so that this work can continue.
With this breakthrough comes hope. Many individuals living with loss of limb now have the possibility
to choose whether or not they would like to be fitted with robotic limbs and have the ability to continue
their lives in the manner that they see fit.

LCSC selected for President’s Higher
Education Community Service Honor
Roll
Lewis-Clark State College
Press Release
For fourth year in a row, LCSC
selected for President’s Higher Education
Community Service Honor Roll
For the fourth time in as many years,
Lewis-Clark State College was selected
for the President’s Higher Education
Community Service Honor Roll in the
category of General Community Service.
The formal announcement was made in
a press release from the Corporation for
National and Community Service earlier
this week.
The honor roll recognizes higher
education institutions that reflect the
values of exemplary community service
and achieve meaningful outcomes in their
communities. Lewis-Clark State College
Service Learning Advisor Charlette
Kremer said LCSC’s application focused
on three projects.
Social Work students in the Mental
Health and Mental Illness in the 21st
Century class are matched with a
community member living with chronic
and persistent mental illness. Community
member participants are considered
“Citizen Companions” and identified
and treated as graduate assistants because
they teach the students about facing
and overcoming the stigma attached
to living with a mental illness. “The
Citizen Companions receive socialization
beneficial to their mental health and
become empowered to speak as experts on
their lived experiences,” Kremer said.
The school’s Positive Psychology course
incorporates elder care as a means of
understanding psychosocial development.
Working with the Area Agency on Aging,
pairs of students are matched with
isolated elderly. Through their weekly
conversations, students are challenged to
learn about all eight stages of psychosocial
development while maintaining the
elder’s mental and emotional good health
as the top priority. At the end of the
course, students write a “celebration”
of the elder which incorporates the
narratives collected from the elder, data
from personal observation, and a critical
analysis of the theory of psychosocial
development. Kremer said the class has
been so successful, there is a waiting list
of elders hoping to be included in the
project.
In spring 2013, students in the LCSC
Engineering Club and Introduction to
Engineering class considered the idea
of designing, building, and installing
solar lighting on the baskets of the
community’s only disc golf course. “The
students conducted research on solar
panels, photocells, and LED lights,” said
Kremer. “They conducted experiments
to determine which lights provided good
visibility without disturbing neighbors and
formed partnerships with local businesses
and the City of Lewiston. The end result
is a ‘green’ recreational opportunity made
available to all who want to test their disc
golf skills under the stars.”
Kremer said honorees are chosen based
on a series of selection factors, including
the scope and innovation of service
projects, the extent to which servicelearning is embedded in the curriculum,
and the school’s commitment to long-term
campus-community partnerships.
Kathy Martin, LCSC Dean for
Community Programs and Governmental
Relations, said the efforts that contributed
to the school once again being named
to the honor roll are part of an overall
effort to ensure that connections with
the community remain strong and
purposeful.
“Service Learning initiatives are
part of LCSC’s Strategic Plan goal to
strengthen and expand collaborative
relationships and partnerships,” Martin
said. “We’re very proud to be recognized
for the contributions our faculty, staff, and
students make to serve our community.”
Boise State University and the University
of Idaho were the
only other Idaho
higher education
institution
named to the
2014 honor roll.

Warrior volleyball signs NCAA D-I transfer
Lewis-Clark State College
Press Release
Kennadie Clute, a transfer from Montana State University, has signed with the Lewis-Clark State College
volleyball program, Warrior coach LaToya Harris announced.
A 6-foot-1 outside hitter, Clute spent two seasons playing for Montana State, an NCAA Division I school.
She will be a junior when she begins playing for the Warriors this coming fall.
Upon arriving at Montana State in 2013, Clute made an immediate impact, producing arguably the best
season by any Bobcat freshman ever. She posted 513 kills, the second most in school history, and led all
freshmen nationally in kills. She was 18th overall, averaging more than four kills per set.
Clute played in all 31 of MSU’s matches as a freshman, tallying double-figure kills in all but one of those
contests. She had six matches with 20 kills or more and notched a career-high 31 in an upset of Northern
Arizona. She led the Big Sky Conference in kills and points.
Clute also finished her rookie campaign with 46 total blocks and 22 service aces, which ranked second
on the team. The Big Sky recognized Clute’s efforts, naming her Freshman of the Year and giving her AllConference Honorable Mention kudos.
“I am excited to add Kennadie to our roster,” Harris said. “She impressed me with her athleticism, heavy
arm swing and all-around play.”
Following her sterling debut season in Bozeman, Mont., Clute had to deal with a nagging ankle injury as
a sophomore. She still appeared in 21 matches, starting all but two, and led the Bobcats with 242 kills.
Clute prepped at Mt. Spokane High School, where she led the Wildcats to a 75-16 record during her four
years. She averaged 5.24 kills per set as a senior and set school records for kills in a match, with 29, and for
a career, with 935. She also finished with 585 career digs.
In addition to earning Washington Class 3A All-State honors while at Mt. Spokane, Clute also played
for the Sideout Volleyball club. She excelled in other sports, too, garnering four varsity letters in track and
three in basketball.
“Kennadie is a competitor and a leader who wants to get the job done,” Harris said. “With her experience
at the Division I level and her competitive nature to win, she has the ability to play a vital role in our
program and impact our conference.”
Movie Review
“The Grand Budapest Hotel” is worth the watch
by Freddie Means
of The Pathfinder
I never thought the life of a
concierge or the intrigue behind
a hotel could be entertaining to
anyone other than an 80 year old, but
after watching “The Grand Budapest
Hotel,” I now assume that all “oldtimey” hotels have a wonderful,
quirky and delightful story behind
them.
Set in Zubrowka (a fictional
country) during 1968, “The Grand
Budapest Hotel” tells the story of
hotel concierge extraordinaire Mr.
Gustave and the series of strange
events that would eventually lead
to the hotel’s ownership falling into
the hands of the mysterious Zero
Moustafa. I won’t spoil anymore of
it since I definitely think this one’s
worth watching.
From the moment the movie
begins, you can tell Wes Anderson
is its director – long horizontal
shots that show the interior of
hotel rooms and the lives of their
inhabitants, characters who are for “The Grand Budapest Hotel,”
charming and immediately likeable the cast does a fantastic job.
and his trademark humor is present
If I were to name off a top ten
throughout. The movie is covered movie list, I’m sure a Wes Anderson
with Wes Anderson’s fingerprints movie would be in there somewhere.
and, thankfully, unlike the awful If you’ve never seen a Wes Anderson
“Moonrise Kingdom,” the direction movie, then “The Grand Budapest
isn’t overwhelmingly heavy handed Hotel” is worth a watch. Really, I’d
(though at times it can be).

star cast which includes Adrien it’s pretty good. Definitely check out
Brody, Willem Dafoe, Bill Murray “Rushmore,” “Bottle Rocket,” “The

Law and Harvey Keitel, amongst “The Royal Tenenbaums” if you
several others. The acting in “The end up watching and enjoying “The
Grand Budapest Hotel” is great and Grand Budapest Hotel.”
I never found myself groaning at
terribly delivered lines. It makes
me a bit sad though to see that
Luke Wilson was nowhere to
be found and Owen Wilson
made only a brief appearance;
when I think of Wes Anderson
movies, I think of Bill Murray,

Sports Commentary
Patriots vs. Seakhawks Super Bowl
By Taylor Marshall
of the Pathfinder
The Seattle Seahawks and New
England Patriots will both be in
Glendale, Arizona on Feb. 1 to
battle it out for the Super Bowl.
For the Hawks it will be their
second consecutive year playing
in the NFL’s championship game.
The Pats, led by Tom Brady, will
be playing in their sixth Super
Bowl in the last fifteen years,
quite a feat.
However the two teams will
arrive in Arizona coming off
two entirely different games.
New England absolutely overpowered the Indianapolis Colts
in the AFC title game, the final
score 45-7. Tom Brady threw for
three TDs, Lagerratte Blount ran
for three TDs and the Patriots
defense played great holding
Andrew Luck and the Colts to
only one score on the evening.
Seattle on the other hand
played in one of the most bizarre
and entertaining games the NFL
has ever seen, battling the Green
Bay Packers all the way into
overtime. The Hawks were down
16-0 at the half, and were down
by 12 with less than six minutes
left in the game. Russell Wilson
played a disastrous game throwing
four interceptions.
A quick scoring drive late in
the fourth quarter capped by
a Russell Wilson TD run cut
the Green Bay lead to five. The
Seahawks recovered an onside
quick and quickly scored again
as Marshawn Lynch broke free
and scampered into the end zone
untouched sending the ruckus
Seattle fans into a frenzy.
Aaron Rodgers led the Packer
offense deep into Seattle territory
and Mason Crosby converted a
field goal to tie the game at 22
and send the NFC championship
into overtime. Seattle won the
coin toss moved the ball down the
field inside the Green Bay thirtyyard line. Wilson took the snap
dropped back deep into a clean
pocket and fired a high-arcing
spiral deep down the middle to
Jermaine Kearse who fought off
his defender and made the catch
in the end zone.
The crowd erupted and the
celebration was on in Seattle.
The Seahawks were returning
to the title game to defend their
crown
This seasons playoff games have
all been competitive and have
provided plenty of excitement,
and I expect the Super Bowl to
follow suit. Undoubtedly these

Warriors can’t bury Orediggers in overtime
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
It took 10 ties, 17 lead changes,
and an overtime, but the 19thranked Lewis-Clark State College
men’s basketball team couldn’t
overcome the surging Montana
Tech Orediggers on the road on
Saturday night. The Warriors fell
by a final score of 74-66.
When junior Nick Emerson
hit a jumper and was fouled on
the shot with 10 seconds to go it
looked like LC State was poised
to put an end to Tech’s sevengame win streak.
“I think that our guys competed
tonight,” said LCSC head coach
Brandon Rinta, “and that was
a big push there at the end of
regulation to come back and give
ourselves a chance to win it.”
However, Emerson missed
the free throw, the game went
into overtime, the Warriors were
outscored 12-4 in the extra five
minutes of play, and Montana
Tech (3-0, 12-5) has now won eight
straight and remains undefeated
in the Frontier Conference.
To say Saturday’s game was
close is an understatement as the
lead never went above six points
during regulation, and the largest
lead of the night was the final
score.
“It’s going to be very difficult
to win on the road when we
shoot 4-for-18 from three and 20for-37 from the free throw line,”
Rinta said.
The Warriors, now 1-2 in the
Frontier and 15-4 overall, went
without a field goal in overtime
to shoot 37.5 percent on the
night. Montana Tech shot 45
percent and was 9-of-18 from
3-point range.
“I give Montana Tech a lot
of credit,” Rinta said. “They’re
a solid team, they’re good
defensively, and they’re playing
well together right now.”
Sophomore Jacob Wiley did
much of LC State’s scoring,
turning in a double-double of
22 points and 10 rebounds. The
6-foot-6 forward also had three
blocks.
Erick Diouf, who fouled out
early in overtime, also had a solid
effort of 14 points and seven
boards, Emerson ended up with
12 points and seven rebounds,
and Rich Tesmer had seven
points and seven rebounds.
Montana Tech saw three
players score in double figures
including Brandon Ryberg (18),
Chase Haack (16), and Antonio
Snow (12). Haack came off the
bench to lead the Orediggers
with a 4-for-5 night from beyond
the arc.
“We’ve got good shooters,
we’ve just got to make shots,”
said Rinta. “The difference in the
game is that they were 9-for-18
from three.”
The Warriors had a 46-38
lead in rebounds, including a
16-8 advantage in ones on the
offensive end.
After three road games to
open league play, Lewis-Clark
State returns home for a pair
of conference contests at the
Activity Center next week. It’ll
face Carroll College (2-2, 13-5) on
Thursday and Rocky Mountain
(1-3, 12-6) on Saturday. Both
games tipoff at 7:30 p.m.
Photo courtesy of thesportsquotient.om
are the two best teams in the
NFL and most people saw this
match-up looming. Both teams
were the number one ranked
squad in their conference and
both seem to be extremely
balanced and tough in all
aspects.
Personally I think New England
is on a roll and has the advantage
in this match-up. Tom Brady is
playing as good as he ever has
and his skill players and defense
compliment him very well.
I could see the game being very
close but I think New England
will win 31-21 or something
similar to that. Obviously I can’t
guarantee anything but I can
almost assuredly say that this will
be a close game, both teams will
play well and Super Bowl XLIX
will be a night to remember.
LCSC climbs four spots in
national rankings
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
After splitting a pair of taut
games on the road to open
Frontier Conference play this
past weekend, the Lewis-Clark
State College men’s basketball
climbed to No. 19 when the
national office released the NAIA
Division I Coaches’ Top 25 on
Tuesday.
The Warriors, making their
third consecutive appearance in
the Top 25, received 107 points
from voters. This is their highest
ranking since the 2012-13 season,
when they finished the year rated
19th.
LC State is coming off a
demanding road trip, which began
with a 79-73 setback to Great
Falls on Friday. The Warriors,
however, bounced back to top
Montana State-Northern 80-76
the very next day to improve their
record to 15-3 overall.
Frontier Conference foe
Montana Western, which has won
12 games in a row, moved up one
spot to No. 9 after earning 181
points. The Bulldogs are the only
other FC team currently ranked,
however, Great Falls is the first of
nine teams that are perched just
outside the Top 25 in the othersreceiving-votes category.
Campbellsville (Ky.) claimed
the top spot for the second
straight week after receiving six
of 10 available first-place votes
and 247 points overall. Hope
International (Calif.), the only
undefeated team in the Top 25,
came in second after earning the
remaining four first-place votes.

LCSC’s Wiley named Frontier Player of the Week
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
Jacob Wiley
photo courtesy of LCSC
After leading No. 21 Lewis-Clark State to a pair
of wins over Walla Walla University, Jacob Wiley
earned Player of the Week honors from the Frontier
Conference on Monday.
A sophomore from Newport, Wash., Wiley
averaged 17 points, seven rebounds, 2.5 blocks and
1.5 steals per game in the Warriors’ wins over Walla
Walla last week. The 6-foot-6 forward also made 73
percent of his shot attempts, going 16-for-22 from
the field, while leading the Warriors to a 68-59
victory on the road and a 96-77 triumph at home.
This is Wiley’s first Player of the Week award, and
the second for an LCSC player this season. Fellow
classmate Erick Diouf earned the honor Nov. 10.
Orlandi hits game-winning free throw, Warriors
weather Tech storm
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
It’s often said that basketball
games are won and lost at the free
throw line, however, the saying
took on a whole new meaning
for the Lewis-Clark State College
women’s basketball team on
Saturday night against Montana
Tech.
With time winding down and
the score tied at 69-69, LCSC
sophomore Caelyn Orlandi
drove to the basket and was
fouled on the shot just as the
buzzer sounded. She went to the
line and made the first attempt to
hand the 14th-ranked Warriors a
70-69 win over the Orediggers in
Frontier Conference action.
“Every possession became
crucial and we just survived,” said
LCSC head coach Brian Orr,
“and I think that’s going to be the
league this year.”
The exciting yet anticlimactic
finish ended what was a relatively
straightforward
game—the
Warriors ruled the first half with
superb passing and defense and
led 40-22 at the break, while Tech
owned the second thanks to a
7-for-12 clip from the outside.
“The first half I thought we
defended pretty well, the second
we couldn’t stop them,” said Orr.
“Definitely a game of two halves.
Obviously, their 3-point shooting
is what got them back in the
game.”
The deluge of 3-pointers
quickly washed away the 19-point
gap as Tech tied the game at 5757 with just under six minutes to
go. From here it remained close
and again knotted up at 67-67
after Kabri Emerson hit a 15-foot
jumper with 52 seconds left.
LCSC’s answer on the next
possession was a drive by Natahnee
Spencer. She was fouled by a late
defender and hit both free throws
to put her team back on top by
two. Tech responded with a putback from Martha Dembek and
this setup the final drive and foul
of the game.
Orlandi made the gamewinning free throw look easy,
though it did come with a few
added difficulties including the
absence of anyone under the
basket, the red buzzer light still
aglow above the backboard, and a
booing crowd in the background
still upset about the foul call.
“On the road you’ll take
anything you can get,” said Orr.
“Fortunately we got the call at the
end—I think it was the right call,
but it was a gutsy call. You don’t
see a lot of referees making that
call at the end.”
The Warriors, who rank
ninth in the nation in free throw
percentage (73), were outstanding
from the foul line, making 21-of25 attempts (84 percent).
“That saved us,” Orr said of his
team’s performance at the line.
“If we don’t make nine out of 10
there at the end we don’t win.”
Both teams had four score
in
double-digits.
McKenzie
Heaslet (14), Tanis Fuller (12),
Brooke Litalien (10), and Megan
Risinger (10) led LC, while
Mandy Machinal (16), Martha
Dembek (15), Kayla DeWitt (13),
and Kabri Emerson (11) led the
Orediggers.
Fuller, who leads the team
with 17 points per game, was
constrained by early fouls (had
four with 13:47 to play) and
ended up fouling out with 2:38
to go. Heaslet was also slowed by
early foul trouble.
“I thought Tanis was playing
really well, but we couldn’t keep
her on the floor,” Orr said.
Dembek
and
Machinal
accounted for all of Montana
Tech’s eight 3-pointers, making
four apiece. The Orediggers were
just 1-for-8 from the outside in
the opening half. Tech ranks
sixth in the nation in 3-pointers
made this season.
“They did a good job of finding
an open player,” said Orr. “In the
second half, there were about
eight 3’s that weren’t contested
and about five of them went in …
I think foul trouble changed our
whole defense.”
LC State, which never trailed,
was outshot 43 to 37 percent
on the night, but committed
just 9 turnovers to Tech’s 17.
In rebounding, Tech led 43-35
thanks to 15 from Emerson and
10 from Hattie Thatcher.
The victory improves LC State
to 16-3 overall and 2-1 in the
Frontier Conference. Montana
Tech now stands at 8-10 and 0-3.
After three road games to open
conference play, the Warriors will
happily host their league home
opener on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
against No. 19 Carroll College.
Then on Saturday, they’ll open
the Activity Center doors again
for a 5:30 p.m. tilt with Rocky
Mountain.
Lewis-Clark State tied for 14th in
latest poll
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
The Lewis-Clark State College
women’s basketball team tied for
14th when the national office
released the NAIA Division
I Coaches’ Top 25 Poll on
Tuesday.
Ranked No. 12 a week ago,
the Warriors received 127 points
from voters to tie Shawnee
State of Portsmouth, Ohio. The
Warriors, who have appeared in
every poll this season, are coming
off a weekend in which they split
a pair of Frontier Conference
road games.
LC State is one of four Frontier
Conference teams to appear in
the Top 25. Westminster, which
is 11-2, slipped one spot to No. 5
while Montana State-Northern
(17-1) and Carroll College (11-4)
are ranked 11th and 19th,
respectively.
Freed-Hardeman of Tennessee,
last season’s national runner-up,
collected nine of 10 available firstplace votes and 219 points overall
to claim the top spot in the poll
for the third consecutive week.
Oklahoma City, which bested
Freed-Hardeman in last year’s
national title game, earned the
other first-place vote.
Warriors fall to Eastern Washington
in tennis opener
Lewis-Clark State College
press release
The Lewis-Clark State College
women’s tennis team opened
its 2015 campaign with a loss
to NCAA Division I Eastern
Washington
University
on
Saturday afternoon. LCSC fell to
the Eagles 7-0 at the Boas Indoor
Tennis Center.
The Warriors, who advanced
to nationals last season for the
14th time in 15 years, take the
loss in stride as they have grown
accustomed to playing one of the
toughest schedules in the NAIA.
Last year the program went
5-17 with 11 of its losses coming
against D-I opponents and four
at the hands of teams ranked
in the NAIA’s top 16. Despite
the rugged regular season, the
Warriors took two of three
matches at the national qualifier
last year to advance to the national
championship where they were
edged by Davenport (Mich.) 5-4
in the first round.
This season, counting Eastern,
the Warriors have 12 NCAA D-I
teams on their schedule as they
look to return to nationals for the
fourth straight time.
In Saturday’s match, LC State
came closest to getting on the
board in No. 3 doubles and
No. 4 singles. In the doubles
match, Bryn Oliveira and Mikela
Kowatsch were outdone 6-3, while
freshman Hannah Uhlenkott put
up a good fight in singles, falling
6-3, 6-4.
