Stevenson mourns beloved member of the Sodexo community
by Kristofer DeJesus
Villager staff writer
A familiar member of the Stevenson community
passed away just before classes began, on Aug. 18, 2015.
Armando Enrique Molock worked for Sodexo, usually
in the Sub Connection space on the Greenspring campus.
He was 32.
He was born on May 22, 1983, to Olen Davis Molock
and Luz Tirado Molock, and graduated from Randallstown Senior High School in 2001 where he completed a
variety of courses focusing on food services, giving him the
necessary skillset to earn a job through Sodexo at Stevenson
University.
At work, he always served customers with kindness and
humor. His supervisor, Marc Chabot, director of operation on the Greenspring campus, had nothing but gracious
words when describing him.
“This was such a loss. At age 32, the people who interacted with him are going to miss him.” Many students
walking down the hallway past Sub Connection will never
feel the same.
Chabot added, “Armando was very helpful, and he
loved playing the piano. He would often play the piano
during his break.”
Along with playing the piano, Armando also enjoyed
broadcasting video games live on the internet. He loved
playing and talking about video games with anybody, no
matter how well he knew them.
He is survived by his daughter Armana Molock, his
parents Olen and Lucy, his elder brother David Antonio
Molock, three sisters, Dana McCready Molock, Nina
Molock, and Luzita “Lulu” Molock. He is also mourned by
his nieces and nephews Dasia, Alecia, Alex, and Damond,
his sister-in-law and brother-in-law Anissa Molock.
AVCD to host its first Artist-in-Residence lecture and gallery on Sept. 30
byKimberly Hahr
Villager staff writer
The department of Art and Visual Communication
Design (AVCD) will host its first Artist-in-Residence of
the year on Sept. 30 in the Rockland Banquet room for a
reception and lecture.
Gabriela Bulisova, a photojournalist who studied at
the Maryland Institute College of Art, will be the featured
Artist-in-Residence this year. Her pieces will be displayed
on the Greenspring campus and she will also speak at the
lecture on Sept. 30 at 6 p.m.
The AVCD’s Artist-in-Residence program began
over a decade ago to bring working artists on campus, said
George Moore, the chair and associate professor. These
artists share their experiences, help critique student work,
and talk with students in the major about possible career
paths, in addition to lecturing to the general audience.
Elena Volkova, professor of photography, chose
Gabriela Bulisova as the first featured artist. Bulisova is
known for her photojournalistic stories that are typically
under-reported. Some of her collections included pieces
on family members of the incarcerated and examinations
of Iraqi refugees.
The act of story telling, in this case using photographs, allows readers to express their creativity through
interpretation of the topic. It also allows for powerful
messages and controversial topics to be addressed, says
Volkova.
Volkova described Bulisova as someone with a “deep
belief in equality and opportunity for all people on
earth.” This perspective is one of the main reasons she
invited Bulisova. Volkova continued to explain that “her
attitude towards the world is contagious” and she hopes
Stevenson students come to feel that from both her photos
and her lecture.
In addition to opening the audience’s eyes to a new
viewpoint on social issues, the Artist-in-Residence program can get students into the professional world in ways
that the classroom cannot, Moore said. Students in the
past have had great networking opportunities at this
event, some even getting internships with previously featured artists.
Students of all majors are welcome and encouraged
to attend this event, said Moore, adding that students and
faculty from other schools around the area often attend
the event due to its reputation of inviting great artists.
Commuter Student Association revives club, offers new opportunities for students
by Alexis Cohen
Villager staff writer
With the new school year beginning, the Commuter
Student Association (CSA) hopes to revive the club and
inform students of all that Stevenson University has to
offer.
The CSA’s main purpose is to be an advocate for
the commuter population and their concerns, while also
providing a place for commuters and residents to meet
one another. One thing the new advisor for CSA, Daniel
Schwartz, pointed out was that CSA is not just for commuter students; it is for any Stevenson student.
On Wednesday, Sept. 2, CSA had its first meeting of
the year in the Ratcliffe Center. This was a time to get
acquainted with one another and nominate a new executive board with elections Sept. 9. CSA will even have two
members represent the club on the Student Senate, according to Schwartz.
The group will meet on Wednesday evenings, every
other week, beginning Sept. 16. Schwartz directs students to the association’s social media pages or resources
on the SU Now Portal in order to remain updated if they
can’t attend meetings.
CSA also offers discounts to Stevenson commuters.

Sodexo is redefining the dining hall
experience for students this fall.
John Lukevic, general manager of
Sodexo at Stevenson, explained what
students can expect this semester.
Sodexo plans to bring back premium
dining nights, during which students will
be able to enjoy a extraordinary cuisine,
such as steak and steamed crabs, on that
specific night. The next premium dining
night will be Saturday, Sept. 19.
Sodexo will also sponsor elite dinner
nights, in which a small number of
students can sign up to experience a night
of fine dining that includes a three-course
meal. The next elite dinner night will be
held on Wednesday, Sept. 16.
These events are listed in Rockland,
in the residential halls, and also online at
Stevenson.sodexomyway.com.
Lukeivic also noted some Sodexosponsored events in which students can
win prizes, such as the half-time kick
contest during the football season, and
the half-court shot contest during the
basketball season.
New digital concession boards have
been added to the Mustang Stadium’s
concession stands. Lukeivic said, “We just
redid the monitors down at the concession
stands to bring the menu boards up to
2015… we are also looking at reinventing
some of the foods down there in the
concessions for a lot of the games.”
Lukeivic added that “the big games,
like football and lacrosse, it’s always fun
to go down to concessions and see those.”
Lukeivic said he enjoys Stevenson’s large
events, such as convocation, homecoming
and acceptance day.
One major trend that Lukeivic has
noticed is that during the peak hours,
from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and 5-6:30 p.m., the
dining has been really busy.
Lukeivic said that one of the
challenges of these first few weeks of
the semester has been that students have
been bringing in water bottles and filling
them up with water. The sanitation risks
prohibit students from refilling water
bottles in the dining halls.
Sodexo has a few goals for this

for this dining hall are Monday-Thursday 7:30am-7:30pm, Friday 7:30am2pm, and closed Saturday-Sunday. Their most popular items are cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, and grilled chicken sandwiches.

company “wants to make students want
to eat in here [the dining hall] with new
concepts… and good customer service.”

The department of Career Services
is busy planning multiple events this
semester that will help students get a head
start on career planning. From career
fairs to the famous Lego Challenge, this
semester has numerous events for students
to enjoy.
Jaqui Goetz, the events and
marketing coordinator for Career
Services, has organized a series of events
for this fall that will allow students to
market themselves and receive oneon-one professional guidance. The SU
Portal page is a resource that provides
information for all the future events.
The staff in the office of Career
Services feels strongly about students
getting the experience they need, said
Goetz, and these events offer resources for
everyone.
Goetz recommends the Employer in
Residence event being held in September.
This event focuses on seniors and allows
them to receive professional help with

resumes, interviews and financing, while
networking and building relationships all
at once, said Goetz.
Another event that is being held
throughout the semester is the Business
Breakfast Hour. From 9-11 a.m., business
students and staff are welcome to stop by
the School of Business and Leadership
lobby to network and learn about
employer opportunities. This event runs
weekly until mid-November.
A series of career fairs will target each
school, including the Accounting Fair, a
Business and Technology Career Fair and
“Students need to know that we care;
that we listen to them, their concerns…
My door is always open,” said Lukeivic.
a Nursing Career Fair. Each career fair allows students to set up informational interviews and gives them an opportunity to
network with other businesses, according
to Goetz. These events will be held from
September to November.
Career Services is also hosting
STEVE Talks on Nov. 5. Students who
attend this event will have an opportunity
to build their professional brand and
market themselves with employers.
The freshman class can’t forget about
the Lego Challenge on Oct. 30. The Lego
Challenge is an interactive competition
that allows students of all majors to come
together and show off their creativity.
Located in the Owings Mills campus
gym, the Lego Challenge gives the
freshman class an opportunity to connect
their majors with Stevenson’s famous
Career Architecture program. Freshmen
will work as a team within their majors
when building and presenting their
creative Lego masterpiece.
Students can find the complete list
of events, times and locations on the SU
Portal page. Also, keep an eye out for fliers
and posters that are displayed on campus.
Commuter Student Asssociation offers discounts and advocacy
(Continued from p. 2)
CSA also offers discounts to Stevenson
commuters. If a student utilizes the MTA
in order to travel to campus classes,
CSA offers a discounted rate of $50 for
a monthly pass, according to Schwartz.
Also offered is a Commuter Card, which
when presented will offer 10 percent off
any purchase at a campus dining facility.
This card can be obtained from the Rock
or the Green Zone, according to the
Commuter page on the SU Now Portal.
Students can speak with Schwartz
about these offers, or their interest in
CSA. His office is located on the second
floor of Rockland, room 217-B. Students
can also email commuter@stevenson.edu
to get in contact with the CSA.
Schwartz advocates for more
commuter involvement and support. The
group created a new tag line, “No matter
how you get here…we are here for you!”
Students can utilize the commuter page on
the SU Now Portal by clicking “Student
Activities,” then the “Commuter” tab in
order to receive more information and
updates.
“[College] is what you put into it,”
said Schwartz, and he is making the effort
to give commuter students more of an
opportunity to get involved.

Make a difference
In Shel Silverstein’s
“The Giving Tree,”
readers are taught
many important lessons; however, the most
important takeaway is
that nothing can bring
more joy than putting
Emma Ragon
a smile on someone’s
Co-editor-in-chief
face.
Throughout the
64-page book, Silverstein details a relationship between a young boy and a tree. As
the boy grows older, he goes from swinging on the tree’s branches and climbing the
trunk to chopping the wood and sitting on
the pruned stump of a once beautiful tree.
No matter what the boy does, the same five
words appear on multiple pages – “and the
tree was happy.”
The opportunity to support others is
something we don’t often consider. Yet making a difference in the lives of others is so
easy.
During March 2015, I had the opportunity to travel to New Orleans, La., with
49 other members of Mission: I’m Home.
The Stevenson service organization focuses
on rehabilitating damaged and destroyed
homes. Although Hurricane Katrina occurred 10 years ago, over 33 percent of
individuals affected by the storm are still
displaced.
As a participant in the 2015 trip, my attitudes were altered. I signed up with the intention of making a positive change in what
I thought was a grief-stricken community. I
didn’t expect to get much out of the experience; I just wanted to try something new.
During my trip, New Orleans changed
me. Volunteering changed me.
I developed my interpersonal skills by
communicating with local residents and
those affected by Katrina. I enhanced my
communication and problem-solving skills.
I created new friendships and formed even
stronger bonds with individuals I knew
prior to this experience. I reflected on and
continue to realize how my contributions as
a volunteer made a positive impact in the
life of an individual I have yet to meet. This
thought alone makes me feel a sense of accomplishment and extreme joy.
Volunteering is the act of giving your
time to a cause with the intent of making
a positive impact. By getting involved, I became a part of something much bigger than
myself. The strength needed to volunteer is
insignificant compared to the strength of
those who persist and overcome such harsh
challenges, such as those faced as a result of
Katrina.
Volunteering reaps numerous benefits,
but unfortunately, not everyone will be able
to see the opportnities to volunteer. However, if given the chance, individuals should
participate; the impact they leave has the
potential to truly make a difference.
As the new semester begins, I encourage the Stevenson community to consider
Silverstein’s message. Here’s to a semester
of getting involved and making a difference!​

Kurdistan provides example of new hope in the Middle East
by Britain Castellano
Villager staff writer
4,000 miles away, in the heart of the Middle East, a new nation is slowly being reborn amidst turmoil and chaos.
After nearly a century of strife, an ethnic minority known
as the Kurds are finding -- or rather building -- a home for their
people. This is good news, because the growing Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) stands not only to promote peace
with the west, but also to spread equality and cultural/economic
growth throughout the Middle East.
The Kurdish people have a troubled history. After World
War I, their nation was disbanded by the European powers, and
divided between Turkey and Iraq. Left vulnerable and without
a home, they were for a long time subjugated and harassed by
both of the nations. At one point, they were even the target of
an Iraqi-led genocide.
Yet, in recent years, surrounded by, and possibly taking advantage of, the turmoil of the region, the Kurds have set up a
near-independent nation. Called Kurdistan (or the KGR), the
significance in this is that the Kurds could be the key to establishing some stability in the war-ridden cradle of civilization.
The first point worth considering is that they among, if not
the most, socially progressive peoples in the Middle East. Almost
entirely Islamic, they have long been champions of equal rights
for women.
Women in Kurdistan can often inherit property (taboo in
the region) as well as fight in the military. When Iran passed laws
in some regions limiting the rights of women, a massive number
of Kurdish men protested by flooding social media with pictures
of themselves in drag.
The KRG has also been very cordial and open politically
and economically. Israel not only supports their cause, but buys
75 percent of its oil from Kurdistan. With many pro-western
policies and attitudes, the budding nation has garnered much
international support, especially from the United Nations.
In addition to many other reasons, this is has made them
perhaps the most significant antagonist to the barbaric and misogynistic ISIS. In fact, Kurdistan seems to be the biggest threat
to the Islamic State.
The two groups are at constant odds, with many citing
Kurdish Peshmerga military forces as the only reason the terrorists have not conquered more of the region. Often, ISIS forces
are being repelled and even crushed by all-women Kurdish battalions.
So successful have they been, that the United States has
promised air support and joint operations to the KRG in recent
months.
And all of this has really just occurred in the last few years.
The eyes of the world are on this growing country. None are
more optimistic than the Kurds themselves, who are finally seeing their dreams of a home reborn come true.

First-year students: Why did you choose to attend Stevenson University?
Pat Najmola
“To play football and
how the school is always
changing, facilities continue
to grow, as well as the
newness of the campus.”
Victoria Asper
“I chose Stevenson because
it was close to home, with an
amazing program. The professors have worked in the area
they teach, and the small class
sizes will allow me to get close
to my professors.”
Chase Cruz
“I chose Stevenson
because of the
opportunity to succeed.”
DeJonna Farrar
“I chose Stevenson
because of the diversity,
the wonderful faculty
and the welcoming
community.”

Harford County’s new Greene Turtle: strong on service and variety
by Jordan Sadler
Villager staff writer
The Greene Turtle Sports Bar and
Grille opened in late May in Bel Air,
Maryland. We visited the new location
recently to chat with the owners and enjoy
dinner.
Upon arrival, we were greeted
with friendly faces at the entrance. Bigscreen television sets were displayed
throughout the restaurant, and the space
was decorated with pictures of Harford
County athletics and Maryland-based
professional sports teams.
The hosts had notified us of the
happy hour specials for food and drinks as
they walked us to our table on the patio.
Patio seating was packed with guestss
enjoying live music.
Our server Lauren greeted us quickly
with a smile. Once we got situated at
our table, she told us about the drink
specials and recommended the crab dip
and raspberry turkey flatbread pizza
appretizers.
Our drinks came out quickly, and
shortly after we received our appetizers.
The crab dip was served in a hot skillet
with warm pretzels for dipping. The
raspberry turkey flatbread pizza was a
flatbread topped with seasoned turkey,
melted sharp cheddar cheese, tomato, and
red onion with a warm raspberry sauce. It
was absolutely delicious.
Lauren kindly interrupted us for
feedback on our appetizers before taking
our orders for the entrée. I ordered the
bourbon burger with french fries and my
friend ordered BBQ ribs with a side of
green beans.
We enjoyed the live band that played
a variety of music some their own music
and covers from other artists. Within a 15
minutes, our food arrived.
Topped with bourbon sauce, smoked
bacon, provolone cheese, sautéed onions
and bourbon aioli, my bourbon burger
was cooked to perfection. My friend
devoured his full rack of ribs smothered
in smoky barbeque sauce. Our fries,
coleslaw, and green beans were great as
well. Lauren periodically checked on us
to make sure we were enjoying our drinks
and entrees.
The general manager, Gina,
casually and asked about our service and
experience at the restaurant. All I could
say was “excellent.”
When Lauren offered us dessert, we
had to decline because we were more than
satisied... although, the list of desserts was
tempting! Once our visit ended, Lauren
said, “Thank you and I hope you come
back crawling for more!”
The Greene Turtle is recommended
for its service, food and atmosphere. It’s
the perfect spot for students and faculty on
any night. For Stevenson students, faculty,
and staff, there is also another Greene
Turtle franchise near the Owings Mills
campus which offers a nearly identical
menu.
Relationship humor, great cameos highlight new comedy by Amy Schumer
by Emily Soller
Villager staff writer
The
hit
summer
comedy
“Trainwreck” has been entertaining
audiences with its witty relationship
humor. On-the-rise comedian Amy
Schumer wrote and stars in the comedy.
This romantic-comedy is not the
typical love story. Schumer’s character,
Amy Townsend, works for an urban
magazine and gets an assignment to write
about sports doctor Aaron Connor, played
by comedian Bill Hader.
Aaron Connor’s best friend in the
movie is NBA star LeBron James, who
helps Connor with his relationship
problems. Townsend, who was raised by
her father was taught from a young age
not to settle down with one person. Her
perspective changes when Connor comes
into her life.
As the film opens, Townsend meets
a lot of different men but does not want
to settle for one boyfriend. After her
boss assigns her an article about Connor,
Townsend interviews him. Soon after, he
asks her out to dinner.
Although the dinner is very awkward
for the two, they end up going to the
bar for drinks where they immediately
connect. A few weeks after they start
dating, Townsend’s father passes away
and Connor tells her that he loves her.
The shock unnerves her, and she does not
respond because she is not used to a man
who treats her with respect and affection.
James holds a dunk contest in New
York with other professional basketball
players and invites the couple to the
event. After sitting next to Townsend,
James asks several questions about the
relationship, trying to learn more. The
slapstick comedy continues throughout
the movie as the pair fight, break up,
reunite, and learn about what they want.
Schumer does an amazing job writing
her first screenplay and starring in it. As a
young female comedian, she emphasizes
what it is like being a woman in society
today.
The beginning of the movie
includes some scenes that could be
considered vulgar and offensive, but
after the opening, “Trainwreck” settles
with romantic elements and engages
the audience. Hader does a great job as
Aaron Connor in a more serious film than
his usual stint on “Saturday Night Live.”
Having professional athletes like LeBron
James and Amar’e Stoudemire was also
great for the film’s publicity. Schumer did
an excellent job in her first film, and we
hope she will be writing or featuring in
more.
Latest release by The Weeknd offers strangely compelling lyrics and offbeat sounds
by Jessica Demko
Villager staff writer
On August 28, 2015, the album
“Beauty Behind the Madness” was
released by The Weeknd, a Canadian
singer whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.
Many know his sound from his hit
“I Can’t Feel My Face” and his feature in
Ariana Grande’s song “Love Me Harder.”
His style of music mixes R&B with punk/
pop.
In a recent interview with the New
York Times, The Weeknd commented on
the music culture today.
“These kids, you know, they don’t
have a Michael Jackson,’’ he said. ‘‘They
don’t have a Prince. They don’t have a
Whitney. Who else is there? Who else can
really do it at this point?’’
The Weeknd wants to bring back
those popular influences. He expresses
that he is trying to give this generation
a unique sound like that of Jackson or
Prince.
One of the most intriguing things
about The Weeknd is that he tells about
his life only through his songs, making
him seem mysterious.
His newest album, “Beauty Behind
the Madness,” is a change from his
other five albums as he has developed
confidence and become more comfortable
with his craft.
The Weeknd’s music is a sound that
cannot be easily categorized. Instruments
including the violin, guitar, drums,
keyboards and beats made from scratch
are all likely to be heard on almost every
track.
He also showcases his producing
skills on the album by merging all of these
sounds together to create a melody that
complements his lyrics and voice. While
the production value is impressive, the
lyrics are what are most inspiring.
To the casual listener, the meaning
and background of his music is unclear,
yet to the perceptive listener, his music
speaks to real-life situations. Though the
sound may be unfamiliar, it draws the
listener in. Particularly in the songs “Tell
Your Friends” and “Losers,” listeners will
be drawn in.
“Real Life” describes his lifestyle of
being famous. He provides listeners with
descriptive lyrical details, which make the
album even more intriguing.
The Weeknd also features different
artists in his album. The song “Prisoners”
features Lana Del Ray, who adds a darker,
lyrical edge to the song. Also featured
on the album are artists including Ed
Sheeran and Labrinth.
The music is absolutely worth
listening to. This album is great for casual
listeners because its sound is soothing and
the beats support a calm and relaxing
atmosphere.
As a fan of The Weeknd, I listen
because the music is different from
mainstream R&B and unlike other artists
of this generation. I thoroughly enjoy his
dynamic sound.
The Weeknd’s album “Beauty
Behind the Madness” can be purchased
on iTunes or at any local big box store.

Stevenson University’s new tennis
coach, Evan Clifton, brings a wealth of
experience to the team and is ready for
this upcoming tennis season.
After leaving his hometown and
moving to the Eastern Shore to coach
the Salisbury University tennis team,
Clifton has finally ventured back to his
Baltimore roots. He says that he is the
biggest Baltimore Ravens and Orioles
fan you will ever meet, and though his
Baltimore pride is strong, his passion for
the Stevenson tennis team trumps all.
While the season may seem far away,
Clifton has nothing but Stevenson tennis
on his mind now. The new coach says that he was blown
away by the first-rate athletic program
that Stevenson offers and knew that this
was the right place for him. His Mustang
pride is already evident and he hopes to
bring that magic to the tennis courts.
“I want to create an electrifying
atmosphere that leaves fans with the
feeling of wanting more,” he said. He is
preparing for a groundbreaking season
filled with increased fan interaction
and intense game-day performances.
Fall practices will begin Sept. 14, which
will give him time to implement a new
regimen.
In addition to more fan interaction,
the new coach hopes to make positive

New tennis coach eager to encourage Mustang pride on the courts
changes on the court as well. While looking at his competition, Clifton is confident
that the Mustangs can come out on top
this season.
Messiah College and Arcadia
University are the current leading
competition on the men’s side, while
Lebanon Valley is a top competitor for the
women.
Arcadia University’s men’s tennis
team has recruited especially well over
the off-season, which will create added
pressure for Stevenson to defeat their
skilled opponent. Although there is
heightened competition, Clifton is not
worried because he is fully confident in
his team.
The upcoming changes will take
place Sept. 14 when the fall season
gets underway and Clifton can focus
completely on his players.

A new team of Mustangs at Stevenson will be led by a highly decorated new
coach.
Dominick Dawes will be SU’s firstever men’s ice hockey coach.
Dawes is a native of upstate New
York, where he played his college career
at Norwich University in Vermont, winning a national championship.
He began his head coaching career
at Neumann University in Philadelphia
where he coached for seven years and
won a second career national championship, this time as head coach. He was also
honored as the AHCA coach of the year
in 2009.
Dawes is currently hitting the road to
fill the team’s roster. The majority of players will be incoming freshmen from Junior
America Hockey, he said.
This year will offer no competition
for the Mustangs, but in October 2016,
the team will have a full schedule. They
will play their home games at the Reisterstown Sportsplex, where Stevenson’s
women’s team currently plays.
The team will compete in the ECAC
West conference, facing competition including Utica, Hobart and Neumann Colleges.
Dawes said his short-term goals are
clear: “find guys that I can build a winning culture with. I want to build a top
program in the country and create something special here at Stevenson.”
Other goals, he says, are “to compete
at the highest levels and to consistently get
better every day.”
Dawes will settle into the area with
his wife Katherine, three-year-old twins,
Lily and Dom, and his six-month-old son
Paxton.

Sophomore Carrie Brighthaupt, a
forensic science major and member of
the field hockey team, is a recent transfer
from Salisbury University.
She explained why she transferred to
Stevenson: “I wanted to play field hockey,
and I wanted to go into forensic science.
Stevenson has an accelerated masters program for my field of study.”
Brighthaupt chose the career path of
forensic science with a dream of working
for the CIA.
“I definitely want to get my doctorate
in forensic science. After that I hope to be
a forensic investigator,” she said.
The transition for Brighthaupt has
been “seamless,” she said, and both her
peers and new teammates have welcomed
her warmly.
Brighthaupt believes that joining the
field hockey team will bring together her
passion for the sport and also will help her
“stay on track” for the duration of her undergraduate years.
Brighthaupt speaks very highly about
the beginning of her time at Stevenson
University, adding that the best part of
Stevenson University is all of the amazing
types of people she has met here.
In the future, Brighthaupt said she is
“looking forward to the support of peers
at all of the home games” and the opportunity for her parents and family to cheer
her on under the lights in Mustang Stadium.
“Being closer to home now means
that I have the chance to have my family
see me play field hockey again, which is a
great feeling,” said Brighthaupt.
Brighthaupt applauded the openness
of both students and staff during her first
semester at Stevenson University.
Her advice to incoming transfer students would be as follows: “Get involved
and find something you love to do. Stevenson has a lot of opportunities in a lot
of different areas. It’s a great way to make
friends somewhere new.”
To those students considering transferring to Stevenson, she advises: “Definitely do it! There are a lot of positive
things about Stevenson that are hard to
find at other schools.”

The Stevenson University cross
country team is excited to return to running for their second year under coach
David Berdan.
“Running in college was a big thing
for me,” he said. Berdan attributes his
love for running to his desire to join the
Stevenson squad. His coach in college was
also a significant influence on his decision
to train the team.
“It was pretty much my college coach
who made me enjoy [running] and want
to learn more about the sport.”
Berdan plans on a great season. He
describes this season as special, as the first
recruit class in Stevenson’s cross country
history joins the team this fall.
His team has a deep love for the sport
and want to help grow Stevenson’s program just as much as he does.
To ensure the team’s success, he has
his own style when it comes to training.
“Every practice is different,” he said,
and talked about the different workouts
the team does to prepare for their meets.
“As far as miles per week, they’re
running anywhere from 40-70 miles,” he
noted, in hopes of being ready for competition.
Berdan’s goals for the team are to
build the program to “win the conference
every year and to win a national title in
four to six years.”
The team opened its season at the
Stevenson Twilight Kick-Off held at the
Greenspring campus course on Sept. 2.
Freshman Sam Mercoli had a 4-kilometer time of just over 13 minutes, and
freshman Jackson Morrow finished at
13:21.28, earning him 19th place.
For the women, freshman Kelly Winklbaur debuted with a 4-kilometer time
of 15:37.62, which earned her 11th place
overall. Sophomore Brittany Appleby ran
the course in 16:20.11, while senior Lanie
Swanhart finished in 16:54.28.
On the men’s side, the Mustangs
finished overall in second place with 59
points, while Hopkins won the meet with
a team score of 16. On the women’s side,
the Mustangs finished in second place as
a team behind Johns Hopkins.
Berdan and the Mustangs will race to
the top Sept. 26 at the Dickinson Invitational in Newville, Pa.

Cross country teams respond to coaching; take second place in season opener
Stevenson’s cross country teams, under the coaching of David Berdan, in
the photo on the far right, have grown in size and strength during his tenure.
Berdan brings coaching experience to the Mustangs from his stint at Johns
Hopkins University, where he was an assistant coach for both the cross country and track and field teams. He was the winner of the Baltimore Marathon
in 2013, and continues to run professionally. He arrived at Stevenson in 2014
and is assisted by Erick Comodeca.
Field hockey looks to fill player void
by Dan Williams
Villager staff writer
All-time leader in points, assists, even
goals. An All-American forward. Caitlin
Dempsey was one of the best players to
ever lace up her cleats for the Stevenson
University field hockey team, and she
graduated last spring. How do you replace
a player of that caliber?
“You don’t just replace a Caitlin
Dempsey. You have to look at the team
and fill that void, and we have that ability.
So we have to focus on finishing with the
forwards we have in place. A freshman
starting along with two juniors, so between those three they have to put the ball
in the net. It won’t be as lopsided as last
year. I think we will have an even scoring
amount among those three,” said coach
Laurel Martin.
“Another thing is that we got to secure penalty corners and finish them. If
we do that, we will find success. We have
the core unit to do that,” she added.
Juniors Holli Eppley and Rosemarie
Neiva are the two upperclass students
asked to fill the void left by Dempsey.
Eppley scored 5 goals last season and
Neiva added 11 more herself. Freshman
Sara McVey will be called upon this season as well.
“She needs to work on her finishing
skills, but she has incredible speed and
good vision,” said Martin.
Last season ended with the Mustangs
winning their first ECAC title in school
history. Martin believes her team is inches
from winning the MAC conference title
and that last year’s ECAC title can be
helpful in that process.
“I think it was huge. We had a disappointment with a very even conference and not being able to make it into
the conference playoffs. Coming into that
tournament as the lowest seed and upsetting the #1 seed right off the bat was a
tremendous thing for our team and to see
their work ethic and see what we are trying to accomplish pay off. Winning that
is the first step to hopefully making an
NCAA appearance,” said Martin.
The Mustangs have had a rocky start
to the 2015 season, facing three opponents as of Sept. 9 with three losses.
The team’s season opener against
#2-ranked Salisbury University on Sept.1
at Salisbury stadium ended in a 5-0 victory for the Sea Gulls. Junior goalkeeper
Gabriella Brooks had a career-high 22
saves, according to gomustangsports.com,
on Salisbury’s 31 shots on goal.
At Lynchburg on Sept. 5, the Mustangs fell to the Hornets 2-1 on a lone
goal by junior Holli Eppley. The following
day, Stevenson faced Roanoke College,
losing 1-0 in an overtime defensive nailbiter. The Mustangs outshot their opponents while at Lynchburg 59-16, but have
collected just one goal.
Fun Fact: Martin’s daughter Kali, a
sophomore, plays for the SU team.
“I thought it would be challenging
[coaching my daughter] but I love it. It
has been a great experience. Kali is a
wonderful addition to the program. She
has a good work ethic and a great humor
so she is always cracking up myself and
the rest of our team,” said Martin.

looking for their fourth consecutive MAC Commonwealth championship.
Women’s soccer sets goal of repeating
Commonwealth conference victory
by Kaala Harrilal
Villager staff writer
The new season of women’s soccer
has begun. Their goal is to win the conference championship for the second consecutive time.
Last season they worked together to
come home with the title of defending
champions.
According to Graeme Millar, head
women’s soccer coach and associate director of sports information, 24 players
returned for the 2015-16 season, including the three captains.
The team also gained seven new
players (six freshman and one transfer)
this season.
The returning players know what is
needed to win both non-conference games
and conference games. Millar noted that
even though they have a tough schedule
this season, there are big expectations for
every game. Ultimately, the team hopes to
place into the NCAA Division III women’s soccer tournament.
Despite being defending champions,
the Mustangs were picked to finish second
in the 2015 Commonwealth Conference
Preseason Coaches Poll, just behind Messiah College.
According to Gomustangsports.com,
Messiah was ranked #1 in the 2014 Commonwealth Conference Preseason Coaches Poll when the Mustangs beat the Falsons on penalty kicks in the championship
to grab the MAC title from the reigning
champions.
Along with Messiah, Stevenson will
also face nationally ranked John Hopkins and Misericordia. The team will be
playing at least six teams that made it to
the NCAA Championship last year. So,
the Mustangs know that every game will
count this season.
Millar said, “If they win the championship this year, they will celebrate with
a team dinner and tailgate, just like last
year.”
The Mustangs’ first game was on
Sept. 1 against Dickenson College, a team
that beat Stevenson last year by one goal.
This year, the Mustangs turned the tables
and defeated the CCC by one goal, 3-2,
getting their revenge from last year.
In the overtime win, the Mustangs
relied on senior Jordan Poretto for two
goals, including the game-winner, and
one goal by sophomore Kellen Wittman.
Assists came from Alexis Siejack, Allie
Ondrejcak, and Ashlyn Hawbaker. Junior
Tiffany McKee had eight saves on the day.
The Mustangs were strong in the overtime
period; they had three shots compared to
none by Dickinson.
Against Eastern Mennonite on Sept.
5 at Salisbury University, Stevenson beat
the Royals 3-0 on goals by Hawbaker, Siejack and Poretto. It was the team’s tenth
shutout in the last 14 games, including in
the 2014 season.
The team faced the Generals of
Washington and Lee on Sept. 6 at Salisbury, and were disappointed with a 2-1
loss. The Mustangs managed only five
shots against W & L, a team whom the
Mustangs had never faced before. The
lone goal was made by Wittman.
The team’s next home game is
against Salisbury University at 7 p.m. on
Sept. 22, according to Gomustangsports.
com. Come out and support our women’s soccer team in their bid for a second
championship.
Coming into the 2015 season, the
Mustangs are looking for a fourth consecutive Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC)
women’s volleyball championship, as well
as a bid to the NCAA tournament.
After coming off a loss to Christopher
Newport University in the second round
of last year’s NCAA tournament, the
Mustangs hope to continue their dominance in the MAC and to push deeper
into the playoffs.
The MAC conference coaches voted
Stevenson to finish as champions for a
fourth year in a row, heaping big expectations on the Mustangs.
“Winning kind of takes care of itself
when you play and practice the way we
do,” said head coach Dave Trumbo.
Though the Mustangs have high expectations and are a unanimous pick to
win the conference, they received only 17
votes in the Division III American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) preseason poll.
“We know how it feels like to be in
the top 25,” said senior Kara Anderson.
“Just receiving votes, teams know that
we’re here to compete.” The Mustangs
embrace the underdog roll, whether they
are ranked or unranked.
Now that All-Americans Samantha
Perillo ’14 and Megan Miller ’15 are no
longer with the team, Trumbo looks towards the future with replacements in
hope of even better results.
“I feel like it’s less of a replacement
but more of a new beginning,” said
sophomore libero Deanna Bradbury. “It’s
going to be different, but it’s going to be
the same intensity.” Bradbury hopes to
be that replacement for Trumbo as she
looks to fill the void that was left behind
by Perillo’s graduation.
The Mustangs returning 14 players
from last season and will be led by Anderson, senior Kelly McKenzie, junior Sara
Bollinger, and junior Kristen Brooks, who
hope to be the voice of a strong team. The
Mustangs have shown complete dominance the past four years, totaling a record 134-16 in their climb to prominence
in the national scene.
Against Marymount University on
Sept. 1, the Mustangs brought home a
three-set victory in the non-conference
came against an opponent who has consistently been a challenge. The Mustangs
squeaked out a 25-22, 25-19, 26-24 win
on the day. Brooks led the team with 11
kills, and junior Annika’s Swartz had 15
digs.
In Philadelphia, for the weekend
Sept. 5 at the Haverford/Swarthmore
Invitational, the Mustangs brought home
three victories, losing only to Haverford
in straight sets and beating Salisbury, City
College of New York, and Swarthmore.
The Mustangs have their home
opener against conference rival Lebanon
Valley College on Sept. 12.
“Every time we play them, it’s a rivalry,” said Anderson. “We both always
finish top three in the conference.”
“We want to prove that we’re number one, and by beating them, we’re doing
that,” added Bradbury.
