NeoTraceis very popular for detecting networkproblems and finding net information, it isalso a great tool for Veb developers, spamhunters and anyb,ody who wants to knowwhere the congestion is on the 'Net.

According to their Web site, Neolizce isthe world's most popular Internet tracer, usedby law enforcement, lSPs, and networkprofesionals, yet it is easy enough for homeusefs to use.

In his about.com review of NeoTrace,Chris Sherman states, "NeoTrace is adiagnostic and investigative tool. It traces thenetwork path across the Internet from thehost system to a target system anlvhere onthe Internet. Simply drag a link from yourbrowser and drop it on NeoTrace; all the nodesbetween your computer and the destinationsite are displayed on a map.

'l{long the way, the FoSram automaticallycaptures data about the machines used in theconnection. The route is displayed on a map- placing your cursor over each node on the

map brings up a pop-up box with registrationdeails for the owner ofeach computer on theroute (address, phone, e:mail addres$ andthe nework each node IP is registered to."

NeoTrace's graphical user-friendly mapsare srnilar to those of any online map service.Scalable and zoomable, users with deuiledinformation can pinpoint a computer'slocation within a milel lhe detailed maps,combined with registrant information, make iteasy to see ooctly where trouble spots arepopping up and provide the specific deailsneeded to give to the lnternet rrvice provider(lSP) when calling to complain or reportspammers.

But Neolluce is just cool to watch. Byentering similar sites and requests, users cansee how the Internet handles multiple mskand can take different routes to the samelocation if trafic is heavy.

Animals areresponsibilities,not objects

I recently head a very sad story about a dog namedCain. He's a woyzuold Sib€rian Hus$ He's now living

Reema Al-OmariStaff columnlst

at the Dumb Friends Leagueshelter, waiting for his fate to ukeshape.

Cain's story is an animallover's nighunue. His story beginswhen he was a very small puppy, afew week old. A woman boughthim home to her young son as abinhday present. That womanwould're been better off bulng

her son video games, because that's what he ended upchoosing over Cain. Cain's life was spent monly ouside inthe backyard, chained to a post, survd for affecdon, asthe woman didn t want this big, hJper-active thing in herhouse, . . and fiom the sounds of it, neither did the boy,dut's if he cared at all.

Nei$bon would complain about Cain, for he barked,howH and aied. Bpecially when it rzs cold outside, orat night when he felt exceptionally lonely. People didn'tcall the police because Cain was loud or annoying, theycalled becaur they were woried that Cain was beingneglected and abused, as he was constantly outside, andrvas neler mken on walk... something that oen a lizrdis entitled to.

I0hen Cain reached the age of wvo, my friend heardhis story. Her mother lived nec to the owner of Cain, anddecided to make a difference. My friend wanted a dog, andhere was the perfect oppnunity to rescue a negleaedand abused dog, and get unconditional love in return.

Cain s life wm begnning to look betten People werevisiting him, uhng him for walk to get to know him,

$ving him treas. .. acknorvledging his oristence.'lhe daycame finally when Cain was uken to his new home, wherehe was going to luve a backtard where he could roam ashe wished, a doghouse for shelter and more visis indoon.Vhen most people think ofgening a dog, they always talkabout getting a fence so the dog can run around wheno'erit wants. Vell, that wasn't enou$ for Cain. Cain wanted alot more than room Io move, he wanted love and affecdon,So much love, ttut my friend couldn t $ve hiin enou$.And that is why in the middle of the night, Cain wasdropped off at the Dumb Friends league. . . because trewanted so much love and affection, he almost camethrough a window. He wanted into the house so badly, heended up pushing himself funher ouside. . . in an animalshelter where he could get adopted and thrown backagain, or he may never get adopted at all and be put tosFep.

It's a sad story. Some people may say that it's the factthat he's a tough dog to deal with, being a Siberian Hus$and all. I disagree rvith that, I feel that Cain would be in anice home rvith love, if he wasnt sarving for affection tothe point rvhere he might break a window to be let intosomeone's home. It all began from the day he was broughthome as a binhday present,.. he rvas treated as justanother toy or video game. To be the center of anentionand then throivn arz.v rvhen it's not the stvle anlmore.

Unfotunately, stories like this will repeat agan andagain, unless people hgin to think before thq get ap€t,.. pe$ are not obiects. Thry are living creatures thatneed love and affection... and most of all, anention. Ahean full oflove should come before a fenced backyard.

To Metro'sStudent Body,

On ThursdayApril 25, 2001, yourS tuden tGove rnmen tAsembly is holdingits iinnualinauguration at theflagpole from 2-3

Unfonunately, although you electedme for a second term as Student BodyPresident I will not be able to acceptyour nomination this Thursday. As manyofyou know I am a single parent and amfacing a change lhat musr occur in myliving situation. This situation isrequiring me to work full time and sinceI am also a full time studenr, this newschedule will not allow me to give theStudent Body the time thal you mustexpect from )'our President.

I anr not a person who can doanything halfrray and I so I do not wantto accept the position and let 1'ou downby doing so. This past year has been amagnificent year for studenm and forStudent Government. I have been veryhonored to work with some of the mostpasionate and hardworking people onthis campus and I would recommendthe experience of Student Governmentto any student who has the drive andwillingness to not only enrich their owneducation but to work to better theeducational orperience of all students atMero as well.

This past yeaq your studentgorcrnment. tus conquered many issuessuch as the continuation of the AfricanAmerican Studies Maior, Metro'sIndependent Governing Board, theAuraria Ar.xiliaries Bond Fee and thePublishing of the Faculty Evaluadons for

student use. tffle have also madeinaedible headway in making the GoldaMier Center and fth Street Park betteraccessible for those with disabilities.This year's Student Government hascreated excellent worhng relationshipswith administration, faculty, alumni, thestate legislator and the Board ofTrusteesof the State Colteges Sptem. Ve havemade our office more accesible to you,while having events that were set up tomake ,vou more aware of therepresentation you have and the servicesthat are lvailable to pu.

students it represents. Candacealrerdy has worhng relationshipsvrith administration, facultyand manystudent groups with whom she isactively involved. Candace workedeffectively for you this year onacademic policy and grade appealand I was impressed vrith her workand tireless anrbition to save Metro'sAfrican American Studies !{ajor Inmy mind, there is no one morecapable to lead Student Governmentto another successful y'ear

I believe that Candace and thenewly elected group will push SGA toan even higher level this next year Ilook forward, as a student, to seeingthis group succeed. Again, Iapologize to those who have puttheir faith in me !o lead the StudentBody into this subsequent year. I will

Bush tax plan won't benefit working familiesDear Editor,

President Bush's iresponsiblewr plan offers a luge ta< break to theweahhy, but Intle or nothing to Colorado'sworking families. Nearly one in fiveColorado families. rvith a fifth of ourchildren, wll receive absolutely nothing,the majority of our working families willreceive an average of less than a dollar aday, while the wealthiest of dre wealthyrvould receive il15 a day, or close to{42,ffi0ayar.

ltlorse still, this plan depletathe funds to secure tr{edicare and Social

Security an to provide badly neededprograms. InstEad of President Bush's taxbreaks for the wealthy, here's a moreresponsible alternadve: Colorado couldhire 1,351 more teachers for our state'spublic schools, upgrade the 90 percent ofour schools that are in disrepair, provide aprescripdon drug benefit for our sute's451,000 tr{edicare recipienrs, and bringhealth care to the one in five Coloradanswho are without health insurance. And,with all of these esendal programsfunded, we could still hare enough fortargeted ax relief for state's working

families.Most Coloradans will receive

liule, if any, benefit from President Bush'stax cut proposal. Vhat rve need instead ishealth and education programs for ourstate's children, seniors, and workingfamrlies and a responsible tax cut plan thatwont jmpardize the stability of Medicareand Social Securiry It's time to stop thenew president's "fuzy math" and put fintthings first.

High court erodes Constitutional rights(U-v1lRE) COIUMBUS, 0hio - The

Supreme Court is chipping away at basicconstitutional righ6 agan. This time it is anassault on the Founh Amendment.

''The right of the people to be secure intheir penom, houses, paprs, and effecrs,aganst unreasonable searches and seizures,shall not be violated, and no Varants shallissue, but upn prohable cause, supprted byOath or affirmation, and particularly dacribingthe place to be searched, and the Fnons orthings to be seized."

Gail Amate4, a Texas woman, was ddvingher nwo ki6 home in 1997. A police officerstopped the pickup truck she was driving,hcause the officer noticed that none of thethree were wearing seat belts. Teus law allowsofficem to make arrests over minor traftcviolations, so Atsater was handcuffed and

taken to the police stadon. Thechildren had tobe taken care ofbv a fiiend while the truck wastowed away and impounded. Atwater wasphotographed and released after postingbond. She plead no contest to the offeme andpaid the $50 fine. She and her husband sued,claiming that the arrest violated her FounhAmenfurent righs.

Tuaday, after the usualset ofappeals, theCoun barred Atwater from suing. The decisionwas a 54 split.

'The arrest and booking wereinconvenient to Anvater," Jusdce David Souterwrote in the majoriry opinion. "But not soextraordinary as to violate the FounhAmendment."

So, being hauld arvay in handcuffs fornothaving a seat belt on is perfectly reasonable.Obuously many a desprate criminal violates

mandatory "buckle-up" laws duringcommission of felonies - so often that policede8nitely tuve probable cause to arest theseviolators.

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, wnting forthe minoritv opinion, said that for the maprityof the coun to conclude that Atwater's arrcstserved no purpose and yet say that it passedconstitutional tests is inconsistent. It is aviolation of the guarantee of the FounhAmendment.

Sq allyou studens out there.., Natch out.Mth a full legal praedent from the SupremeCoun, the nen dme you get a traffic ticket, pumay find yourselfat the mercy of the StudentCode of Conduct. After all, you hav'e engagedin an activity that could get you arresrd andhauled in by police, That's all that seemsnecessarv now.

Let's pretend that you've never beep camping. You'd like to try it before heading toa flagship store and surrendering your bank account for the latest, greatest nalure'delving gear that you won't survive the qreekend without. Instead, yoti can rent the gearfrom the Outdoor Adventure Program, so ,vou are not stuck with it when you realize thatyou hate sleeping in a tent on the ground in the middle of nowhere, surrounded byinfested varmints and snlked by killer bugs.

The Outdoor Adventure Program ean also help prepare you for your maiden tripbecause they offer outings, CORE (Cooperative Outdoor Recreation and Education)classes, leadership and team development initiatives and an online learning program.

"Outdoor Adventure is your studeni fee supported, environmentally based outdoorleadership and team development progam, Outdoor Adventure provides opponunitiesto learn new skills, develop leadership and experience adventures with.vour friends,classmates and colleagues," said Bryan Ferguson; Assistant Director of the OutdoorAdventure Program.

They lead the trips for the Eanhand Atmospheric Sciences Depaftment and can certify you for skills needed to apply foradventure races. The multiday trips average $200. The day trips and other series are

t3Gf50."People don't need to be hard-core to come. I've done the Kokopelli trail trip more

than once and I still get off and walk parts of it. That's not the point," Ferguson said.The free CORE classes are about how to not get lost in the wilderness with a map,

compass and sense of direction, a.ka. Global positioning system, They also teach how totie knots, so your bear bag won t hll down from a tree, and menu planning to ensure thebears and you eat well.

"The program depends on student involvement and incorporates interactive, hands-

"lt's a total learningexperience because theparticipants and instructorsare learning, not just aboutskills but about team buildingand leadership."

Outdoor Adventureconducts seminars for classesand organizations to enhancegroup dynamics throughgames. The first year seminarstudents, the InternationalStudent's Organization, PeerCounselors and StudentSupport Services participatedin programs over the pastcouple of months.

"We set up low angle ropecourses, tight ropes and thelike, then get the groups working as a team to get one person from point A to point B.It's using adventure to further communication and team building," said Nick Delmonico,who works for the program.

Ferguson said that they are getting ready to offer courses in rigging for rock and iceclimbing and kayaking that incorporates leadership development, physically challengedsupport and team building, Riggurg is how to attach the ropes to the rock, yourself andothers.

"Rigging is very impofiant to know how to do well because it ensures safety. Manyclimbers get by with shoddy rigging," Ferguson said.

Sitting acros the corner booth from BrianHelgeland, I hardly recognized him. This wasntrhe young filmmaker I had seen in larious pressrelease photos. This man looked worn out andtired. It might have been because he had beendoing interviews like this all morning, but Isuspect it had more to do with the sling holdinghis right arm. "You'll have to excuse myappeannce," Helgeland had said when I urived."l had an accident." I felt bad for the man, eventhough he was behind one of the worst frlms Ituve seen this year

A Knigbt'sTale is a formulaic sports movie setin the 1300s. V/hile the scenery costumes, andevents are all fiaing for 14*r century Europe, itseems Helgeland felt the ule of a would-beknight competing in lousting tournaments wasincomplete without a crowd singing "Ve VillRock You" during the opening scene. There areother anachronisms throughout the movie, theworst of rtrich is a Nike pmduct placement, butthose would alrnost be excusable if there wete adecent script or charactem worth caring about.Instead, the audience subjected to a long line ofclich6s, predictable plot twists, and stockcharacters played by actors who, in some cases,deserved bener.

This ums a surprise, considering Helgeland's

His directing debut came with fuyback, neniryable piece of action noir that he also wrote.After makng these films that were at bestmasterful and at worst enteraining, Helgelanddecided to try something different. Instead of thegood dark movies he had been making, hecreated the light and upbar Knigbt's Tale,proving that he should say in the da*.

"l probably, at the end of the da5 like darkmovies better," he said, "but it's too depresing todo them relentlesly. "

with all those movies is they get very stiff;evervmns s Dut uD on _a pedesul and peopledon't joke with eachother and everything'svery serious. I wantedthe audience [of AKnigbt'sTakl to retllybe able to relate tothese characten in away that you feel likeyou know them andthe problems ttut theyhave and everythingthat's going on."

He used similarreasoning for theanachmnisms, sayinghe wanted tocontemporize theatmosphere. 'A lot ofitis about youth andidentiry and findingyour place in thervorld," Helgelandsaid. "But there's noway to get that acrossjust playing medievalmusic to a modern audience, I thought I wouldput more contemporary music into it to try toinvite the audience into the story a little bitmore."

Helgeland said he plans to continuedirecing his own work. "There's a saying thatwriters ntro dirert direct out of selfdefense," hesaid, commenting on the satisfaction he derivesfrom having control over how his words areportrayed on-screen. He likened being lust awriter to "having kids, but when they tum 12 yougive them to someone else to raise until they're18, and then they dont turn out the way youwant them to turn out."

As for his next project, he's working on anadaptation oi Moby Dick. The basic storylineshould be better, but there may still be remindersof A Knight's Tale. " l'm actually trying to take thecast from A Knigbt's Tale nd put them all inMoby Dick;'

ago where he hoped to be noq he would havetold you about the deli he wanted to own.

"My dreams were muci smdler," he saidduring a recent conference call. "l thought Icould make a pretty good sandwich."

lnstead, he made a pretty good movie on aminimal budget, in the hopes that it would playat a local heater and he could show it to hmilyand friends. It wasn t until Miramax picked thatmovie up to show first at film festivals, then inwide distribution, that Smith considered makingmore films.

"l had an idea in my head to make onemovie, and rlat was Clerks," he said. 1{nd thatjust lead to another movie, which led to the noc

kind of boring," Smith said; "conversations are

silted and they don t flow very well. Vhen pu'rewriting, you're creating a perfect world, or asperfect as the writer wants it to be."

Jay and SilenJ Bfr is the laryest projectSmith has aken on so far. Vith an ensemble castof almost everyone who has been in a priorSmith movie, plus more ttun 200 digial efats(re uid *rey had odginally planned on about25), Smith said this is an expensira movie, "and itloola like it...lt's a big movie. It looh big, andfeels big, and plap big. It's a far cry from C&rfrs."

Smith said he doesn't care how big hisbudget is, as long as he can make the film hewants. However, he said it would be hud onproducer Scott Mosieq who has produced all of

Smith said he is retiring the hmiliar.characters of his past films because they hadbecome too much of a crutch. "There will be nomoreJay and Silent Bob," he said. "From now onthere will be new characters, like Roy and SilentPhil." He said he wants to try some other Senres;after making frve movies that are "a bil on thebombastic side, it will be nice to do somethingquieter."

Throughout the inteniew, Smith keptreturning to how much he enioyed makingmovies. "[ could never be anything but happy,because it beats fucking working at theconvenience store," he said. "Every day I chucklebecause I feel like I've gotten away withsomething...l predict an eady death, because

nothing could go this well for so long."

ctnracter n Loln, Potente's performance as a nurse in an asylumrings true throughout tlre film. Part of this is prohbly due to herworking with Tl,kwer in developing the chancter, but bard on herother work, but her basic talent shouldn t be dismissed.

"lt made me nervous in the beginning, because I don t reallylike it," Potente said about her invohement in the writing process."l like to have a perfect script and then I go fromthere."

"He gives you a lot of space, but at the same timehe has a very clear and strong vision of what thefeeling of the scene is," Fiirmann said of Tykwer'sdirecting style. "One of the great $fu of Tom's is thathe's so incredibly open and willing to just followalong what you have to offer He loves hisactors. . .What's clear is the beginning and the end ofa scene, but what happens in between we dont findout noq let's just do it. Lefs try it like this, let s try itlike that."

"He wants the lines thou$," Potente added. "He

won t let ,vou drop the lines."Both Potente and Fiirmann have n'orked on

German television, but prefer movies, "l went tomovies since I was a kid, and automatically mydecision to become an actor, the desiie to act, cameout of being affected by movies," Fijrmann said.

"l love how movie theaters celebrate movies," Potente said."There's actually people choosing to spend ten dollars to go seethis movie out of a rariety of plenty."

"l'don't want to limit myself to saying, 'l want to do Germanfilps,' or, 'l want to do only television,"' Fiirmann added. "l'm reallyopen. Mth a rript that grabs me or a character that makes me

curious to find out more about him, I d lorre to do it.""l'd love tq" Fiirmann said when asked about worting witrt

Tykwer on futurc projects. "l'd have to say he's an erceptionalfilmmaker who manages to each time make an absolutely personalfilm that really enables me to watch the film each time differently.'

As they sat down at the uble the lvlalan had set up for theinterview, Franka Potente and Benno Fi.irmann both turned theirattention to the west-facing windows acros from them.

"Ve're consandy talking in these rooms, and I see the Rockiesback there. I've never been to this part of the country and I'd loveto go," Fiirmann said. "Nert time, if we come back, let's do [theinterviewl somertere nicer"

"Yeah, we could hold it up in the mountains," Potente added."Vhy not?"

From their rela<ed anitude and fascination with the Coloradoskyline, it would be easy to assume these two are relatively new toacting. Actually, Fotente and Fiirmann are two of the most wellknown actors in Germany, but findhg American moviegoers whorecognize their names is diftcult. Potente gained some fame in

1999 as the sur of Run Lola Run, and is starting to garner somerecognition as Johnny Depp's girlfriend in Bioar, but both have along way to go before they are recognized stateside as well as theyare in Europe.

Potente and Fiirma m star \nThe Princess 6 the Warrior , oneof the best movies I have seen so far this year. Like /o/a, it isdirected by Tom Tykweq and like /o/a, it deals with the ideas ofhte and coincidence - a chance encounter completely alters thecourse of the main characters' lives - but Tbe Pinces & tbe\lhnioihu a much more measured'pace than Tykwer's last film,Hisvisualstyle is still recognizble, as is the alent in his leads.

Apnl?7,2@1 The Metropotitan I 22

Going into spring camp before the 2000season, Metro men's soccer was looking for ananswer,

The question was who was going to take thescoring torch from depaned Jared Zanon, whoset scoring standards for the men's soccerproSrarn.

The answer came in the form of sophomoreDanny Galludq who is The Metropolian's men sathlete of the y2.

Before the sun of the season, Gallardo hadmade a promise to himself to score as many goalsas he could,

He mised his personal goal, but not bymuch: Gallardo posted 17 goals in 20 gama,falling just two shon of the school mark for mostgoals in a season, set in 190 bv Tim Yunger.

"l thought that I would come out of theszuon pretty good," Gallardo said. "l knew that Iwas ready to play my freshman year, I was out ofthe picture for a little bit, but I knew my game wasstrong and I was going to come out and score asmany goals as I could. I was shooting forsomewhere around 18-20 and I was confidentabout making that mark."

with Zanon gone, someone had to step upand fill the scoring shoes.

"Danny is the kind of plaler that netds to bethe man," said Metro men's soccer coach BrianCrookham. "He came off the bench his frahmanyear and played a lot behind Jared, didn't see asmuch time as he probablv wanted to, which ishard for a punger player o develop confidencewithout being on the held."

That confidence that Gallardo may travelaclad irt hrs freshman year didn t seem appuentthis past season.

The Roadrunner offense was more

dangerous this season then any in the past, asthey set the record for most goals posted in oneseason, 45, beating the old record of4l, set twice.most recently in 1991,

As a team, they won 14 gama, the most inschool history, and Gallardo accomplishedsomething that not even Zanon could do:sending iris team into the NCAA Tournament. Theappearance was the first ever for the Roadrunnersin the program's history

"l think that it's a big step in our program,"Gallardo said, "Our first year we came out pretrygood, butwe had a couple ofproblems whichweue going to lx for this past year.

'Y/e trave stepped our game a little, andcreated better opponunities to solve' ourproblems a lot zuier, Ve played rvith a lot morehean and courage this past 1'ear"

1'he erperience in the NCAA lburnament wassomething that was helpful to the team.

"lt was a great orperience, even though wefell shon," Gallardo said. 'Ve phyed our heartsoff that game and it alwap means something togo to the tounument and say you ue a part ofthose top 16 schools in the country but thatmaka you a better team and makes you lookforward to the next season.

Vith the break out yzu Gallardo had lastseason, and with wo more yzus left to play, hecould zuily break all the scoring records thatZanon set before he graduated, if he can repeathis performances in the next two yEars.

"l definitely think so," Galludo said. 'Every

yzu I think that my game is getting even betterand hopefully next se6on I can break all theschool records."

Gallardo will have to score more then 17goals nex season if he wans to break all ofZanon's marls next season.

The record watch will begin Aug. 24th,200t.

Vhen a team loses seven key players,including the all-team leading scorer in theschool's history most of the time that equals arebuilding year.

But not for Meuo men's soccer coach BrianCrookham,

Instead, he guided the Roadrunners to aschool best 14 wins and the team's first erarappeuance in the NCM Tournament. Vith thattype of a performance, is no wonder why he isThe Metropolian's Men s Coach of the Year.

Coming into spring camp last yeu, the idea ofmaking it to the NC,AATournament was not out ofthe question.

"$re had a feel mming out of the spring lastyea4" Crooktam uid. 'There was an acitement,some things tlut kin& gelled.

'$b weredt positira with ttre player we werebringing in, but we had a pretty good fed for acouple of guys to corne in and san ud make thedifference for rs."

The 2000 ss$on was somelhing sp€cial,

something ttut the men's soccer program hadnever seen in its 15 lear odstence,

The Roadrunners surted off the seasonquickly; winning nine straight games thatinduded seven shutouts; four straight to openthe season. Going through the rest of the seasonwith an unblemished record was something thatCrookham felt could not happen.

'You know when you plav in a conferencelike ours it's a battle," Crookham said "Plus 1ouhave to play people 6vice, that we were going tohave dals where its just not going to go that way.

"lt's a long season, very few teams in thehistory of Division II soccer that went a seasonundefeated. tf(le thought that we could competein every game ttut we were in and pu neverknow how it's going to turn out in the end."

Crookham and the r€st of the Roadrunnersknew how thing would usually end, and that wasin their hvor

For the first time since 1990, theRoadrunners swept Fon kwis, who at one pointlast season uras ranked No. 1 in the season.

Metro raveled to Durango, Colo., for the fintmeeting against the Skfuwh. The teams needed

two eritra periods to lind a winner. V/ith 1:33 leftin the contest, Tonv Thomas found the back ofthe net to give the Roadrunnen a 3-2 win.

In the second meeting, this time at theAuraria Fields, Fon Iewis struck fint, scoring Izuthen 10 minuta into the game. But after thar, itbecame the Danny Gallardo show, as he scoredthree dmes in the second half to give theRoadrunners the win.

'\I'e match up well against them, we madesome adiustments at mid-season that we thoughtwould make us more dangerous against ahardworking team like them," Crookham sairl. "ltwas a great result for us, coming off an nationaltitle game, we had to go up against the best andFon lewis was the best.

Except for when they were pkying againstthe Roclcy Mounuin Athletic Conferencechampions Colorado &hool of Mines,

All season, Crooklam could not find theanswer n beating Mines.

The fint encounter with the Orediggen wasone that Crookham and the rest of theRmdrunners would lcne to forgec

After beadng hn tewis tso da)s eadier ro

extend their winning sueak to nine, Metrotraveled to Golden to take on Mines in game thatMeuo should have won.

Metro got off to a quick sun, aking the carly1-0 lead, but Mines responded by scoring fiveunanswered goals and handing the Roadrunnerstheir first loss of the season,

Metro had its chance for redemprion on theirhome field npo week later and still had a chanceof winning the conference title and host theconference ournamenl

The game turned into a wu, neither sidewanting to make the one misuke to lead to theother scoring a goal. But instead of a misuke,Mines rored a unbelierable goal that gave themthe win and the right to host dr conferencetournament,

For Crookham, he only wishes that his teamwould have met up with Mines in the NCM'lbumament so that they could have ctunce torcdeem themselves

Don't worry they will have their chanceSept. 3 qhen tlrey tffvd to Golden to Bke onMine.

Adam tlourman/tlc fcboPdnc,tilfefopofltan's women Coschof-theYear Metto vollyball coach DobHG Henddcks,

lett, and tl|e women's Player{Gth}Y€ar Marlna BotEana.

It's never easy coming into a program that iscoming off its worst season in the school'shistory, losing four starters, and knowing that thecoach that was there the year before was let goafter one year.

For Metro volleyball coach Debbie Hendricla,this was more of a challenge then a problem.

"l like the challenge," Hendricks said. "Forme coming into that situation, it was a challenge,something that was intriguing to me.

"l knew that we had the resources and wehad the staff and then eventually the playerpersonnel to be successful and so that was myperspecdve, I felt very optimistic."

V/ith only three players back from the 1999team and. eight new faces, Hendricks said thatshe had expected a lot from them.

"l still had high expectations, I'm iust thatkind of a person," Hendricks said. "l alwaysexpect my teams to win, I alwap expect that,even uhder what might be perceived as adversecircumsmnces. Espetially with the talent that hadbeen recruited, I knew that we were going to puttogether a positive squad."

The squad that she put together rr?s morethan just positive they were winning again.

And so is Hendricks, as she is TheMetropolitan's women s Coach of the Year,

After finishing 10-21 the previous season,Hendricks was brought in to rebuild theprogram, but instead she turned the programaround in one season.

The Roadrunners finished second in a toughRocky Mountain Athletic Conference EastDivision and earned a berth into the NCMTournament, all things that Hendricks felt theteam could have done even before the seasoristarted.

"lt's a little bit of a disadvantage," Hendrickssaid. "Like this year we can look at what we wantto accomolish this next vear based on what rve

did last year and what we tried to accomplish inspring set goals based off of that.

"Anytime you are setting goals and youhaven t been together that long, it's a litde moredifficult to do, but that is what we were going totry and accomplish, "

Besides making it to the NCM Tournamentand the second place finish, the team won 13sraight games that included wins against thenNo. 10 University of Northern Colorado and No.22 Regis. But for Hendricks, theseaccomplishmens were not the best of the pastseas0n.

'Vatching a really good group of peoplecome together and b€come a team," Hendrickssaid, "So often in this profession, you are addingtwo or three to the mix that you already have tothe core coming into the core four and add sixand watch that that group gel and grow that wasprobably the best pan."

Metro dominated dl RMAC teams this pastseason but one, Nebraska'Kearney. TheRoadrunners lost in Kearney, then went on the 13match winning streak, and it was Kearney thatput an end to the streak.

Hendricks said that a pan of the problem wasthat the team was inexperienced and her teamdid not have the big game experience.

"l think that it waS several things, but I thinkthe most imponant was that their experience inthe big games," Hendricks said, 'iWe had a groupof kids that were not experienced iri the biggames and it showed last year I think that it wasthe only disappointment but it was to beexpected.

"Some of our players have been in statechampionship games or iunior collegechampionships, but it's a whole differentsetting."

The scene will be set for the Roadrunnersnext season and with eight players coming backnext season, they will be ready for the big gameexoeriences.

Vhen you are the new kid on the rcam,and you don't know anyone, your game couldtake a while before it smns up.

Try telling that to iunior Metro volleyballplayer Marina Bazana, The Metropolitan'swomen's athlete of the year.

A transfer athlete from Vestern NebraskaCommunity College, she came to a programthat was in shambles after gohg lG21 theseason before and lost most of the smnen aswell.

Bazna had the chence to go to a DivisionI school, but she didn t want to go to schoolwhere she couldn t help out, so that wes whyMetro was the sure choice for her.

"I was orpecting to do the best that Icould," Bazana said. "Itre things that I couldnot succeed in, my team helped me out.

And she helped out her team.The team finished 2l-9 and 163, good

"But Iknew horv

think I could have done that iust because my well she

teammates and coaches have helped me out' played inllentneBzrntdr|!8.boutb.hrth"*ili?riffi#r* iu n i o r

co l l ege ,becauseher iunior

a good position to do good things."Bazana rvon several individual honors

after the season was ovet She was named tothe RI'4AC All-Tournament team, she was a firstteam AII-RMAC. named to tire AmericanVolleyball Coaches tusociation All-Regionteam,

Other Metro players have won thoseawards before, but Bazana won an award thatno one has before.

After the season was over, the RMACcoaches voted for her to be the RMAC Player-of+he-Year, the first time a Metro player hasbeen given that honor

But Bazana would not uke all the creditfor herself, but rather 8rrrc it back to hettermmates who helped make it possible.

"l wasn't expecting it at all," Buana said."l think I could have done that iust becausemy temrmtes and coaches have helped out.

"I rvas happy and I worked hard for it too.'

enough for second place in a tough Rocky Bazana was recruited by former coachMountain Athletic Conference East Division, Janelle Duvall, so when current coach Debbieand after being absent the year before, a trip Hendricks got to Metro, she didn't know whatto the NCM Tournament. kind of player she had in Bazana.

During the season, the Roadrunners put "Ve knew that Marina was a great athlete,"together a 1J match winning streak that Hendricks said. "l didn't sign Marina, so Iincluded wins against then No. 10 University didn't see her until she got here.o f
