Grace Hosts
Congressman’s
Press
Conference
BY CHRISTIAN SHECKLER
Staff Writer
U.S. Rep. Mark Souder, (R3rd) spoke out about health-care
reform during a press conference
held at Grace’s Orthopaedic
Capital Center last Friday.
The congressman voiced concerns about a health reform plan
that would place a significant fee
on Warsaw-based orthopedic
companies like Biomet, DePuy
and Zimmer.
According to Souder, the
plan, sponsored by Senate
Finance Committee Chairman
Max Baucus (D-Montana),
would tax companies 10-30 percent of their profits, for a total of
$4 billion annually throughout
the medical device industry.
“We’re now in the fight of
our lives,” the congressman told
a roomful of reporters and representatives from local medical device companies. Souder
said the tax could “drive a stake
through the heart” of the orthopedic industry, and he urged
concerned Hoosiers to write
letters to their senators and congressmen to voice their opposition to the bill.
Indiana’s two U.S. senators,
Richard Lugar, a Republican,
and Evan Bayh, a Democrat,
have both written to Sen. Baucus
opposing the tax.

It’s been 17 years since a Grace
athletic team has opened the
season with nine straight wins
– the last team to do so was the
1991-92 men’s basketball team.
This year, the women’s soccer
team is off to its best start in the
program’s history, an undefeated
9-0 non-conference start.
“I just feel honored to be
a part of this team right now
because there were people that
came before me and they didn’t
get to come this far,” said senior
Sara Morgan. “It’s really a cool
time to be a part of it.”
The Lady Lancers have dominated their opponents thus far,
cumulatively outscoring them 332. They have 126 shots on goal
compared to their opponents’ 28;
they are ranked eleventh in the
NAIA in shots on goal per game,
averaging 14.0; and the defense
has tallied seven shutouts.
“I was thinking that maybe
we would be better than last year,
but I wasn’t thinking we would
be undefeated,” said junior forward Natalie Anderson. “We
have had a lot of easy opponents
at the beginning, and we will start
seeing harder opponents.”
Grace’s non-conference opponents have a combined record
of 16-46-2 and none of the nine
teams has a winning record.
One of their toughest wins of
the year came over Indiana Tech
on Tuesday, a 1-0 win where
Grace was outshot 6-15.
“These were all against teams
that have been in Grace’s competitive equity the last two
years,” said third-year head coach
Michael Voss. “It’s given them
some confidence going into the
conference schedule.”
In the past, Concordia University never scheduled Grace
because the Lady Lancers weren’t
competitive. This year, Grace
defeated them 6-0.
In many minds, however, the
question still remains: How good,
really, are the Lady Lancers?
“We’ll see (how good we are)
on Oct. 3,” Voss said, referring to
Grace’s conference game against
rival Indiana Wesleyan. “We have
always been below the middle
of the pack in conference play.
Now it’s like, let’s do it. Bring the
conference games. I’d love to see
where we are at.”
In the off-season, Voss
acquired 10 newcomers and built
a 24-player roster.
“Last year, we just had a couple
key parts missing,” said Morgan.
“Now we are just building.”
Anderson emphasized the
roles of freshmen Jocelyn Evans
and Marissa Bo, Grace’s center
midfielders. “They are really
good at distributing the ball,”
Anderson said.

Students Raise Homelessness Awareness at the Courthouse
BY ZANE GARD
Staff Writer
WARSAW— Last Thursday, September 17, students
planned on meeting at the Kosciusko County Courthouse to
raise awareness for the homeless.
Instead, God met with them.
More than 120 people gathered in tents and blankets to
spend the night on the court-
house lawn. Freshmen and
seniors, faculty and students alike
connected through the common
bond of Christ. What started for
many as a night of fun and games
ended in the adoration of Jesus
Christ. “I just brought my guitar. I
was sitting around and they asked
[us] to lead worship,” freshman
Billy Starkey said. “The power of
prayer is unimaginable. It’s exciting to know so many people have
pure hearts. It’s exciting.”
Some students thought it was
amazing to see what a guitar and
open hearts can accomplish with
God’s help. “We are all homeless
in a sense,” said Lance Cartmell,
a sophomore at Grace. “We are
all looking for a place to rest our
heads. We are all hungry and we
are all thirsty, but God can fill
those needs for us.”
“I’m pretty cynical. When
I found out about it, I thought
about the enormous potential for
Grace, but I doubted many would
actually show up. I prayed about
it and God really opened my
eyes,” said junior Curtis Bowden.
During the hour-and-a-half worship service, attendees spontaneously shared stories, testimonies,
Bible verses, and consequently,
their lives.

second in the MCC. Freshmen
Kristin Yocum (four goals) and
Kaala Pauley (three goals) have
also been consistent contributors for the Lady Lancers. 15 of
Grace’s 33 goals this year have
come from newcomers.
“This year, you are seeing
the whole wide gamut of
people scoring and getting
assists,” Voss said. “It’s more of
a system.”
All 33 of Grace’s goals have
been spread among 12 different
players and have been accompanied by 28 assists. As of
Monday, no other team in the
conference had more than eight
players score, and Grace ranked
11th in the nation in assists per
game (3.500).
But none of it means anything on Sept. 29, Grace’s conference opener against Bethel
College.
They start all over.
“This I know: We are good,”
Voss said. “Tuesday at home,
that’s where it all starts. That
will give us a litmus test.”

The Round of Your Life

Michael
Jordan was
inducted
into the basketball hall
of fame two
weeks ago.
And on Aug.
18, just one
month earlier, men’s
golf coach Bo Wright played
a round of golf with him.
Yes, a Grace staff member
played a five-hour round with
the best basketball player to
ever walk this earth.
“I think of basketball, and
watching every championship
game,” said Wright, a diehard Chicago fan. “I’ve been
to the finals and watched him
play. To play golf, the thing I
do, with the greatest at what
he did—that was kind of
neat.”
This is how it happened.
In 1993, Wright landed a
job as an assistant pro at the
Country Club of Decatur in
Decatur, Ill. Wright’s boss,
John, became his mentor and
lifelong friend.
Now John works at Chicago Golf Club, the third
most exclusive golf course in
the country (behind Augusta
National, the site of the Masters, and Pine Valley Golf
Club in New Jersey).

Women’s Volleyball defeats IWU
Andria Harshman, head coach of Grace College’s women’s volleyball team, finally earned her first conference victory at Grace with a 32 win over Indiana Wesleyan. The Lady Lancers had lost nine straight
prior to Tuesday’s win in Marion.
The win snaps a 13-match losing streak in MCC play for Grace’s
volleyball program -- a streak stretching back to a win over Goshen on
Oct. 9, 2007.
Harshman’s win over the Lady Wildcats (4-13; 1-2 MCC) was also
her first over her former coach at Grace, Candace Moats. Harshman
played at Grace from 1998-2001, where she helped lead the Lady
Lancers to three MCC championships under Moats.
Highlighting the game
was Stephanie Lawson
with 19 kills for the Lady
Lancers. Enrica Verret
also recorded 11 kills and
a .308 kill percentage.
Rachel Bult had 42 assists
and 12 digs, while freshman Missy Cooper led all
players with 14 digs.
Head Coach Andria Harshman,

win,” Harshman said. “We
did a really good job at executing our offense. Serving accuracy was
huge. Overall, I was pleased with how we played as a team.”

Men’s Soccer Stays Atop MCC
Grace College’s men’s soccer team
improved to 2-0 in conference play with
their 3-1 win over Huntington University on
Wednesday – marking the first time Grace has
opened with two MCC wins since 2003.
Grace’s Ryan Gerber scored off Matthew
Caldwell’s assist in the third minute of the
game to give Grace a 1-0 lead. Huntington
responded with a goal six minutes later.
In the 61st minute, Huntington’s George
Halim had a breakaway one-on-one against
goalkeeper Adam Churchill. Halim tried to
send the ball into the right corner of the net
from 15 yards away, but Churchill came up Sophomore
with an incredible diving save, altering the Kyle Petty
momentum of the game.
Two minutes later, Grace’s Mike Sauers
sent a deep free kick over the goalkeeper’s
head into the top left corner of the net. Stephen Fowler came off the
bench and clinched the win for the Lancers (5-3-1; 2-0 MCC) with a
loose ball goal in the 85th minute.
Overall, the game was hard-fought and physical, especially in the
second half. Five yellow cards were issued after halftime (three within
a five-minute span) and there were 35 fouls in the game.

Grace Signs 6’5 Greg Miller
The men’s basketball program has landed an impact recruit, Greg
Miller, out of North Miami High School.
Miller is a 6-5 senior who plays power forward. Last year he was
one of Indiana Basketball Coaches Association’s Top 100 players
and has been ranked ninth for the upcoming season by The Hickory
Husker.
Other accolades Miller has earned include being a two-time AllThree Rivers Conference player as well as a two-time Miami County
Player of the Year. “I chose Grace because of the coaching staff and
the great relationship I have with the players,” Greg said. “I am very
excited to gain a Christian education and to continue to help Grace
be successful.”
Miller will play both inside and outside on the court. “Greg is a
perfect fit for Grace College,” said head coach Jim Kessler. “He has a
great work ethic and a desire to help us to continue to be successful
both on and off the court.” As a junior, Miller averaged 24.9 points a
game and made 44 three-pointers.
During his senior year, Miller will try to help the 2A Chargers
improve on last year’s 19-6 season. “My goal for this year is to help
the team compete towards another conference title and sectional title.
I want to improve myself to be the best player I can be, and possibly
break the school record for points in a career, although I don’t put
personal goals very high.”
