Some movie rental stores have a hard time competing with Netflix and Redbox, especially in a college town where students sometimes prefer a quicker and more conve-nient option when renting movies.For Family Video on South Main Street, its competitive edge comes from customer interaction.

Customer service is key to keep-ing a business alive, said Kevin Pasch, district manager of Family Video.

Family Video opened in July, where Blockbuster used to be locat-ed. Family Video’s different busi-ness tactics will be what keeps it

USG plans to discuss crucial campus issues

The Undergraduate Student Government is taking a new approach to strengthen its senate.

A caucus day will take the place of the usual general assembly meeting Monday, in order for members to brainstorm and share ideas about current issues brought up by the group’s constitu-ents, said speaker Melissa Dzienny.

“We have three solid weeks left,” said USG President Alex Solis, “So I’m really glad we found the time to get in some good discussion before

the year is over.”One issue that will be up for discussion during the

event will be gender-neutral housing, Solis said.A student speaker will be addressing the sen-

ate about the issue before it breaks into discussion groups, he said.

Solis said the senate would discuss the issue and possibly vote on a resolution in favor or against gender-neutral housing in the future, which would then be sent to President Mazey and her cabinet.

Other issues that will be discussed during caucus day will be how the different groups of senators have been doing on student outreach and how to better reach the student body, Dzienny said.

“[We are doing caucus day] so next semester we can really come in strong,” she said.

Snow day policy set for winter By Tara Keller

Pulse Editor

As the snow falls on campus, the calls come in to determine whether or not students have to roll out of bed and face the weather.

The decision to close the University depends on several fac-tors, said Director of Public Safety

Monica Moll.“It’s not an exact science,” Moll

said. “We try to call it early enough that you’re not on your way here when you find out.”

The people who try to call it early enough include the University police, the highway patrol and the county sheriff, all of whom Moll calls when evaluating the situation.

In addition, as a rule of thumb, if the sheriff declares Wood county a Level 3 Snow Emergency, then the University automatically cancels, Moll said.

For senior Blythe Caldwell, energy drinks not only taste good, but increase her focus and help her work.

Caldwell consumes an energy drink about four times a week.

“It helps me focus,” she said. “I feel like I learn better, I have a bet-ter attention span.”

This may be the case for some students, but the energized feel-ing lent by energy drinks may not be the only effect on a drinker’s

body.Caldwell recognizes the benefits and is also aware of the possible negative effects of energy drinks.

and specific recommenda-tions of movies. Blockbuster may have lost sight of that when it tried to compete with Netflix.”

Gremler said Blockbuster focused on online movie selections, which gave it a large volume of movies and better cost efficiency, but cus-tomer service may have been cut out.

Movie rental stores may also still prove to be success-ful with a lot of the compe-tition shifting to an online-

only audience.“There’s an element of

society that is still not ready for the 21st century,” Gremler said. “Many households can use Netflix and stream, but people still like going out the old-fashioned way and buy-ing a movie.”

The experience of shopping and interacting with people is appealing to an audience, but with the new generation being brought up, businesses might have to change their approach, Gremler said.

Besides customer inter-action, Pasch said a wider selection and access to new releases gives some stores like

Family Video an advantage against Redbox and Netflix.

With the holiday season here, new releases with a lot of anticipation like Ted will help stores out too, Pasch said.

Senior Alex Bockey, a film production major, said while he prefers Netflix, he goes to rental stores for new movies.

“You find at movie stores what you won’t find on Netflix or Redbox,” Bockey said. “I can also interact with people in the stores whether they point me in the right direction of a movie or give me good suggestions.”

Bockey said Netflix tries to cater to a person’s interests,

but it doesn’t do that good of job and Redbox may have three movies of interest out of the whole selection, Bockey said.

There is also the novelty of finding random movies that are so bad they are good at rental stores, Bockey said.

In order to retain custom-ers, Pasch said Family Video is also constantly offering promotions as well as a mem-bership deal that allows for 50 percent discounts, which can be refilled for $7 a month.

“Business has been amaz-ing and we have gotten a really good response from Bowling Green,” he said.

does not mean that employ-ees don’t show up to work.

“University police have to show up regardless,” Moll said. “People in food service have to as well.”

Provost Rodney Rogers often times has the final say if the weather conditions are too bad for classes.

“He’s going to have to rely on employees here to tell him about the conditions,” Moll said. “A lot of stuff usually happens overnight.”

That stuff usually includes high winds and snow drifts and makes it difficult to host classes, Moll said.

“Safety is our number one

priority,” she said.That priority is a big moti-

vation for the people involved, said USG president Alex Solis.

“The right people are at the table,” he said. “At the end of the day, they’re making the right call.”

However, sometimes that call is to keep the University open.

In that case, there are sev-eral options students can take if they don’t agree with the decision.

“It’s up to the individual to work with the institution if it’s not safe for them to come in,” Moll said. “As adults, they have to evaluate the individu-al circumstances.”

If students choose not to attend classes, then they should communicate that

with their professors, Solis said.

“From personal experi-ence, professors are usually understanding,” he said.

When it comes to safety, Solis said to always play it safe.

“Having one day off of school is a small cost to hav-ing a student being in an acci-dent,” Solis said.

To help make the best deci-sion possible and avoid those accidents, Moll keeps a close eye on the news before she knows a big storm is about to hit.

“I wake up at 4 a.m. to check,” she said. “Usually the storm comes overnight and we’re trying to dig ourselves out.”

Once the decision is made,

Moll informs the news and also the Alert BG system, which sends out text messag-es to all its subscribers.

“Alert BG and the University website are our primary means of communi-cation,” Moll said.

Freshman Hannah Combs is from Colorado and said she thinks the weather has to be pretty bad before the University will close.

“I don’t think walking to campus in the snow is that big of a deal,” Combs said. “I did it in Colorado.”

As far as the University’s cancellation policy, Combs believes into taking it into her own hands.

“It should be your choice,” she said. “If you think it’s too bad, then stay home.”

as coffee gives her the shakes. Energy drinks are Caldwell’s preference, but she also knows of the pos-sible health effects.

The drinks sometimes cause negative health effects for Caldwell if she doesn’t eat while drinking one.

“I can’t drink one unless I have something to snack on,” Caldwell said.

There is a possibility that energy drinks may even cause death in some cases.

“There’s been now five deaths reported to the FDA,” said Faith Yingling, director of Wellness at the University. “The FDA is just investigating these deaths, there are no direct links to energy drinks. But certain-ly it’s raised a red flag.”

The FDA is investigating “reports of illness, injury

or death of people who took products marketed as ‘energy drinks’ or ‘energy shots,’” according to a post on its website Nov. 16.

Where the danger occurs is in the caffeine, Yingling said.

“We don’t really know the body’s reaction to caf-feine — especially for peo-ple who have underlying issues or things they don’t know about,” she said. “It increases your heart rate.”

The FDA “evaluates other possible causes before deciding whether the prod-uct actually caused the medical problem,” accord-ing to its website.

While there are some-times negative health effects reported after the consumption of energy drinks, that doesn’t neces-sarily mean the products actually caused the health problem, according to the FDA website.

The large amounts of caf-

feine in energy drinks have been known to have nega-tive effects on some peo-ple’s health, Yingling said.

“Caffeine is a stimulant, it’s a drug,” Yingling said. “It affects people differ-ently.”

Consumers also may not know exactly what they’re getting with energy drinks, she said.

“It’s how much of that caffeine you’re consuming and what else you have con-sumed too,” Yingling said. “It’s about how [the caf-feine] combines with other things you’re consuming.”

It’s important for students to learn to be educated con-sumers, Yingling said.

The facts on the con-tainer may come into play with energy drinks. Some of them label the amount of caffeine, and others don’t.

Jeffrey Bryden, instruc-tor in the Marketing Department, said some consumers might not even care about the labels.

“There’s all these warn-ing labels — it’s like, who are we kidding?” he said. “If it’s not good for them, [companies] shouldn’t sell it. There are all these legal warnings so [companies] don’t get sued.”

If the container doesn’t state the amount of caffeine

in the product, it may be cause for consumer con-cern, Yingling said.

“Consumer health is very important,” Yingling said. “People need to really know what they’re consuming, and know these products are not regulated in the way other food products are.”

The makers of ener-gy drinks categorize the drinks as either dietary sup-plements or conventional foods, according to the FDA website.

The FDA regulates both categories but the qualifi-cations differ, according to the website.

Along with FDA regula-tions, the method of mar-keting may also be an issue for consumers when it comes to energy drinks, Yingling said.

The drinks are mainly marketed to youth, Yingling said.

Despite what Yingling said, Bryden hasn’t seen any marketing focused on teens specifically, instead, the marketing is widely focused.

He said the drinks seem to fit the young person life-style. The negative press and rumors of death may even increase the popular-ity of energy drinks, he said.

“Negative press is pub-

licity that might stimu-late sales,” Bryden said. “Teenagers are immortal — not really, but they think they are.”

The popularity of the drinks may also be due to an increasing amount of consumers craving caf-feine, Bryden said.

“It seems to fill the bill right now,” he said. “[Energy drinks are] perfect — they’re fairly inexpensive and readily available.”

There needs to be more research and data on the topic, Yingling said.

“In the future, it would be great if there could be more regulation on these types of drinks,” she said. “More labeling and letting people know exactly what’s in there. In the meantime, consumers should be aware of the risks and be advised of their own health issues.”

While some people may not know much about the effects of energy drinks, Caldwell believes she already knows her limits when it comes to her caf-feine intake.

While Caldwell believes she could give up energy drinks, she plans to con-tinue consuming them.

“To me, energy drinks are like alcohol, you have to know your limits,” she said.

By Ian ZulickColumnist

Our generation’s earliest political memories probably begins when we were all in elementary school after 9/11. We all have subsequently grown up in an America par-tisan to the point of a com-plete breakdown of coopera-tion between the two main political parties.

Therefore, it is fair to say that this generation in par-ticular has not grown up in the most nurturing of politi-cal climates. Nevertheless, this is not an excuse to give way to the systemic impo-tence of congress or the deci-sion making inefficiency of the other high tiers of the federal government.

I’ll be the first one to admit that this past election season was lacking in respect across the board. Whether it was the debates in which candidates from both parties continually interrupted each other, or the Internet and television sound byte ads with which Ohioans were particularly saturated.

The ads were loaded with conjecture and outright lies.

Then Facebook and other media exploded with non-

stop flame wars over message boards about political sub-jects ranging from abortion, immigration and gay rights. Tempers were frequently lost, and I saw many of my friends give way to the temptations of assumption and anger.

The term “mudslinging” was coined long ago, but cer-tainly this election is not the first to witness platform and ad hominem insults from one candidate to another. In this post-election America, it seems that some people are not only unwilling to accept that Obama was re-elected by the will of the majority of the American people, but also unwilling to respect the Office of the President of the United States of America. This prob-lem however is not specific to our generation.

We need only look at cur-rent events such as the peti-tion for the state of Texas to secede from the Union with a signature count now exceed-ing 80,000 (only 25,000 signa-tures are needed to necessi-tate an official response from the Obama administration) to understand the gravity of this situation.

Texas is not the only state. People in Mississippi,

Alabama and Montana have also petitioned for secession.

Now, let me be frank: the number of people is not important to this argument overall because, even with 80,000 signatures, these secessionists are in the vast minority.

The thing that shocks and disgusts me the most is the principle of the matter, which is that these movements for secession, whatever their number constitute a com-plete and utter disrespect for the office of the president because the sole reason for the existence of these peti-tions is the reelection of President Obama.

Although Obama only won the election by a slim margin within the popular vote, he still won the elec-tion. In fact, even if he had won only by one electoral vote and a single popular vote, that is still a majority.

My most earnest hope in this election was, regardless of whom the winner ended up being, people would settle down, accept that the people had spoken, and move on with their lives. Sadly, this seems impossible when the simple result of an election

can cause such an outpouring of disrespect that is frankly un-American.

The phrase “the people have spoken” rings as true as the Liberty Bell, and no amount of venom or dissent can conjure enough discord to muffle it.

Just like the Civil War, these secessionists would fight again if it came to violence; the election is over.

If you are unhappy with the results, if you don’t like Obama for whatever reason, if you don’t like his policies for whatever reason, that is your right.

But what we all must do is respect the office of the president, regardless of who occupies it.

Respond to Ian [email protected]

For a week, let’s step away from my usual subject mat-ter. I would like to talk about my experience working my first Black Friday — an eight hour (2 a.m.-11 a.m.) and a four hour shift (8 p.m. - 12 a.m.) with two hours of sleep Friday. But first, a little back-ground about my history as a stock hand. I work at an out-let mall outside of Cincinnati when I’m home on breaks.

I’ll have had this job for a year next month, mean-ing I missed Black Friday last year, but I’ve seen the mad-ness that is the week before and after Christmas (the day after being worse), Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. But nothing prepared me for the hell I worked with on Black Friday, even though I’m sure my experience in full is nothing compared to other people’s experiences.

The store opened at 10 p.m. Thursday and my shift started four hours later. When I got to the mall, the line to get into the store was wrapped around the

corner of the building. When I got into the store,

it was completely trashed. Clothes were scattered on the fixtures instead of hung up, along with being thrown on the floor and the cash register counters were full of rejected clothing.

The first hour I was on the clock, I was one of the only employees on the floor. My task was to get products off the ground and hung up. It took me an hour to clear one small area because of how high the traffic in the store was. Or, in this case: a woman paused to look at a rack of clothing, took a jack-et off the hanger, glanced at it and tossed it on the ground instead of putting it back on the hanger.

These jackets are roughly in the $200 - $300 price range without the discounts the outlet offers, which brings the price down to $150 or less per item. While these items are pricey, people treat products like trash left for someone else to pick it up and take care of instead of what it really is — a decent winter coat or high performance running gear.

While I’m paid as a stock hand to get items onto the floor, sales associates are paid to help the customer, not pick

up after the customer. One of my fellow associates kicked someone out after watching them toss clothing onto the floor. He asked the customer to pick it up. The customer did so, but threw the clothes on the fixture, prompting the associate to ask them to leave.

Another problem I ran into: I was asked many times, regardless of the store name tag I was wearing and when I was carrying around a store ladder, if I worked there or not. I was not the only employee that was asked this.

No, I like to go into stores, pick up the ladders and steal them. Sometimes, I pretend to work there to do so.

And no, this is an outlet. Often times, we do not get certain high profile items in, but when we do, these items go fast and they usually come in the warmer months. There is no point in getting huffy with an employee if certain items are not in stock or if the store carries only one certain color or size.

My store manager slept four hours in a forty-eight hour period, with a fam-ily that surely wanted her home for Thanksgiving. But instead, she spent the whole time doing her job. Thank you, Melissa. I’m not sure

what we would have done without you.

Also, thank you to the store team, especially those who worked two shifts. It was great seeing all of you again, along with meeting the new associ-ates. I’ll be seeing you guys next month for Christmas! (And sorry I took my coffee pot back ... I need it more than you’d think.)

I would like to apologize to my professors if I did not do any of your work during the break; I worked to keep my job, for the paycheck, both for selfish purposes. I surrendered family time, sleep and homework for just not my own greed, but along with others’.

To Black Friday shoppers, I would like to yell at you and also thank you. I would like to tell you how disgusted I am with how you cannot clean up after yourselves or how all manners are for-gotten. People have died because of your actions at places like Wal-Mart.

But from a business standpoint, I would love to smile and say “thank you” for your business.

The Falcons seemed to have brought the famous Bowling Green wind as they trav-eled to Columbus and defeated Buffalo 21-7 Friday.

The wind was a huge factor in the kicking and passing games for both sides as the weather was chilly and bitter inside Columbus Crew Stadium.

The game titled The Black Friday Bash was the first Division I college football game to be held in the soccer-specific stadium. Despite that both teams had to travel to the game, BG was technically the home team based on proximity.

Buffalo has been looked down on in Mid-American Conference play due to its 4-7 record, pushed the Falcons to their limit despite the score-line. The Bulls, who had a tough schedule losing games to Pittsburgh, Georgia, as well as the best of the MAC in Ohio, Kent State, Northern Illinois, Toledo and now BG.

“I thought it was a great bounce-back win,” Head Coach Dave Clawson said. “I was certainly concerned after last week; that was a devastating loss and our guys invested a lot in this season.”

The wind was whipping in Columbus, which was the site for the Falcon “home” game, and it was evident in the passing games.

BG scored thanks to a John Pettigrew 1-yard run early in the second quarter. Pettigrew would take the bulk of the running after Anthon Samuel left the game early with injury. Samuel, who was just 30 yards from finishing the season with 1,000 rush-ing yards, fell short and will look forward to a bowl game to break that mark.

“That guy [Pettigrew] had a great year for us,” Clawson said. “He was a guy two years ago that I didn’t think would ever play a down for us. He just didn’t seem real engaged and then last year it was the 12th game of the year before he played a game. It was against Buffalo and he stepped in and had a really good game. I think that game motivated him to step in and work hard and he has been invaluable to us. We would not be 8-4 right now if it wasn’t for John Pettigrew.”

Quarterback Matt Schilz would add a 48-yard touchdown to Shaun Joplin, who made a great catch despite the wind. Schilz would run in a touchdown of his own in the third quarter from seven yards.

The wind was a large factor in Friday’s game. Schilz, who threw for 228 yards, had three costly interceptions and almost four. The first came on BG’s very first drive of the game. The following drive, Schilz threw another, which was returned more than 80 yards; however, it was called back and given to BG due to a Buffalo penalty before the interception. Schilz’s second came in the third quarter as he vastly overthrew his receiver to the wide-open Buffalo safety that caught the ball with his thighs.

None was more costly than the last interception Schilz threw. The ball was thrown to a Buffalo lineman that picked off the screen pass on the BG 19 yard line. Buffalo would score two plays later to give the Bulls hope late in the game down two scores.

“I felt like we had to put it all out there,” Pettigrew said. “Especially for the seniors who have come so far, working four years and with all the work and preparation we have been going through throughout our college careers, we just

Michigan scored three second-period goals and freshman goal-tender Steve Racine blocked 15 of 16 shots as the Wolverines defeat-ed BG 3-1 Wednesday night.

Michigan outshot the Falcons 38-16 and put double-digit shots on goalie Andrew Hammond in each of the three periods.

“[It was a] poor effort, poor,” said BG Coach Chris Bergeron. “We have a tough time getting it going if we don’t have it right away.”

“[We have a] 1-0 lead after the first period, Andrew Hammond is standing on his head,” he said. “We’re getting beat … but still, we’re winning. And then the first shift of the second peri-od, we come out and give up a breakaway.”

BG got on the board first with two seconds left in the first period on Bobby Shea’s third goal of the season. He received a pass from Adam Berkle at the point and

threw a shot through traffic that beat Racine over the left shoulder.

It was the first time this sea-son, in four games, that BG lost a game in which it led after the first period.

Michigan would up the pressure in the second period, putting 15 shots on Hammond and scoring three times.

“They weren’t really anything that we didn’t expect, but we didn’t play up to what we expect,” Hammond said. “I came down to them, mak-ing a few more plays around our net and taking advantage of some of our defensive lapses.”

Despite that, Hammond made countless big saves to keep the game within reach for BG. He stopped 35 of 38 shots.

“I thought I played very well,” he said. “I battled hard and that’s kind of the one thing to getting my game back on track; that’s a good place to start, just making sure I’m working hard out there and I thought I did for the most part.”

Bergeron was complimentary of the way Hammond played. He was

also complimentary of the way Michigan responded to the late first period goal by taking over the second period.

“They handled their adversity like a championship program does,” Bergeron said. “They had a little bit of a skid [at the end of the first] and then they came out and took it to us.”

BG had a chance to set the tone midway though the first period on the power play. Travis Lynch was given a five-minute major for checking from behind.

However, in those five minutes of power play time, BG put only one shot on net. In three power play opportunities, the Falcons had only three total shots.

“I thought that was our worst power play, the five minute one,” Bergeron said. “After that, I thought we had some decent chances. But we’re just not sharp enough on the power play, not enough guys playing intense.”

BG will have a bye this week-end. The Falcons return to action Dec. 7 at Alaska.

Falcons lose to Robert Morris, defeat Alabama-HuntsvilleBy Alex Krempasky

Reporter

The BG men’s basketball team is returning to the Stroh Center on Tuesday to take on Detroit after a win and loss in the con-solation round of the NIT Tip-Off Tournament.

After losing the first game of the consolation round to Robert Morris, the Falcons took charge in the second ga me aga inst A laba ma-Huntsville. BG defeated the Chargers 68-54.

The dynamic duo of seniors A’uston Calhoun and Jordan Crawford were responsible for 30 of the team’s 68 points, and made ten of their 11 possible free throws.

Sophomore Chauncey Orr recorded a career best 11 points against Alabama-Huntsville. Calhoun and sophomore Anthony Henderson led the team in rebounds with ten and seven respectively.

“We had good offense and we played in and out,” head coach Louis Orr said. “But our defensive rebounding was the difference.

The Falcons are begin-ning a five-game home stand on Tuesday when the Titans of Detroit come to the Stroh Center. They will also host Youngstown State, Wright State, Samford and No. 15 Michigan State during the home stand.

The Titans of Detroit are 2-2 on the season with wins against the Division II Northern

Michigan Wildcats of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (88-53) and the Drake Bulldogs of the Missouri Valley Conference (85-79).

Their losses came against the St. John’s Red Storm of the Big East Conference (77-74) and the Miami (FL) Hurricanes from the ACC (77-62).

This game will mark the six straight year that the Falcons and Titans will face each other. The Falcons are 3-2 in the past five meetings but the Titans are ahead in the all-time series, 23-14.

Last year, the Falcons defeat-ed the Titans 67-61 in the Progressive CBE Classic. In that game, Calhoun recorded 14 points and 6 rebounds and Crawford had nine points and three steals.

BG w il l face the Detroit Titans on Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the Stroh Center. The next game wil l be on December 1 when the Falcons take on the Penguins of Youngstown State.

ALEXIS ROGERS, junior forward, fights for position to make a lay-up in a game this past season. The Falcons lost to Villanova in the Lady Rebel Round Up Saturday.

Women’s basketball falls at Villanova

SPORTSBRIEF

F00TBALL From Page 4

By Max HouseholderReporter

BG women’s basketball failed to put a complete game together en route to its 53-42 loss to Villanova on Saturday. BG was com-peting in the Lady Rebel Round up tournament at UNLV.

The Falcons were good defensively, out-rebound-ing the Wildcats by a margin of 43-34, but they lacked on the offensive end by not shooting the ball well. BG only had one play-er putting up double fig-ures, and that was junior Jillian Halfhill with 15.

The Falcons shot just 24.1

percent for the game and had to endure long scor-ing droughts Villanova was able to capitalize on. BG was scoreless for the first four and a half min-utes until freshman Bailey Cairndruff found Halfhill for a lay-up at the 15:29 mark of the first half.

The Falcons also went on a drought to close the half too, as they made their last bucket of the half, as Jasmine Matthews threw with 6:27 left in the first half. It was those long scoring droughts, coupled with a stellar per-formance by Villanova’s Laura Sweeney that made

it hard for BG to get ahead.Although Villanova

shot just 37.3 percent for the game. Sweeney had 16 points on 8 of 12 shooting.

The Falcons were able to get some well-needed play-ing time to sophomore’s Jasmine Matthews and Deborah Hoekstra.

Mathews scored the Falcons’ first points while Hoekstra was given some well-deserved minutes. In her first action of the sea-son, Hoekstra the sopho-more from East Lansing put up three points on 1-2 shooting with one free throw. She played just 11 minutes, but in that time

she made some good plays and even gave an assist to Halfhill, who knocked down a three pointer.

In the second half, the Falcons never really got close. After two free throws by Danielle Havel, the Falcons trailed 49-36 with just 5:28 remaining in the ball game. After a steal and a three-pointer by Halfhill, BG trailed by seven with 1:01 to go.

Yet the Falcons could not muster up enough late-game heroics and fell to the Wildcats by 11. The Falcons did win its consolation game on Sunday, beating UNLV by 10, 64-54.

had to put it all out there.”BG’s defense held strong,

holding Buffalo to 2-14 on third downs and 0-3 on fourth downs. The defense

allowed 200 yards total and had a season-high seven sacks on the day. Defensive tackle Chris Jones moved his season total to 12.5 sacks and added a forced fumble. Dwayne Woods earned his first two sacks of the season as well as earning 3.5 tackles for a loss.

“Today was just about clos-ing the deal like we always say,” Woods said. “We just had to finish.”

The game was the finishing mark for the Falcons season as they move to 8-4 and will likely play for a bowl game to conclude the season.

Volleyball earns first NCAA bid since 1991

The Falcons volleyball team received its first round game Sunday afternoon.

The NCAA volleyball selec-tion Sunday took place to decide all 64 teams to compete for the national title, and as winners of the MAC tourna-ment, BG earned its birth.

First up for the Falcons will

be Yale. The Bulldogs won the Ivy League to earn their birth. The first round is set for Nov. 30 at 5 p.m.

The bracket this year con-tains reigning NCAA National Champions Penn State, as well as the second ranked Stanford. If the Falcons defeat the Bulldogs they will play the winner of the Penn State and Binghamton match set for the same day. That game will take place at 7:30 p.m.

This marks the f i rst appear-ance by the Falcons in 21 years. The Falcons have f in ished their 2012 season winning 17 of their last 20 matches earning a 21-10 (13-3) record.
