LHU’s president, Michael Fioren-tino, stated in an open forum Tues-day that the Haven will face many changes throughout the upcoming summer, including the demolition of several buildings.
At the end of this spring semester, construction will commence to bring down R u s s e l l H a l l , G r o s s H a l l and the Annex. A f t e r t h e d e m -o l i t i o n of Rus-sell, the university will begin its University Commons Project – which calls for all new landscaping of Russell lawn and the construction of two new pa-vilions.
On top of those projects, crews will also be renovating Woolrich Hall, building a glass addition for Ul-mer Hall and working on the roof of Sloan.
“This will be a very busy sum-mer,” Fiorentino said.
The president warned that the ongoing construction will disrupt the ÁRZ�RI�WUDIÀF�ERWK�VXUURXQGLQJ�FDP-
pus and on the campus itself, and will also impact parking. However, he said, all of the disruptions will be worth the good these changes will do for current and incoming students.
“We’ll certainly do our best in making sure people know far in ad-vance about upcoming changes,” he said. “There will be some inconve-niences. But we’re doing construction that will make our campus more at-tractive and more productive.”
The aesthetic changes are just a few of the
things Lock Haven is doing to try
to improve its a t tendance
and reten-tion rates. S t a r t i n g this fall, incoming will be r equ i red to live on
campus for both their
f r e s h m a n and sophomore
years. Presi-
dent Fiorentino stated that students who live on
campus longer are more likely to stay at that university for the extent of their degree program, and also tend to have higher success rates.
“If there’s something we can do to increase student success and sat-isfaction, that’s very important for us to do,” Fiorentino said.
Another topic of discussion during the forum was Gov. Tom Wolf’s proposed budget and how it may affect LHU’s budget if it passes.
Gov. Wolf’s proposed budget cur-rently intends to restore recent cuts made to higher education within the next two years. If it passes as is, state higher education will see an increase of 11 percent – that’s $45 million. Wolf’s budget also calls for state colleges and community col-leges to freeze their tuition prices for the next school year.
“I think that’s a step in the right direction,” Fiorentino said.Howev-er, due to how complex the proposed budget is, it may not be completed until mid- to late-June.
In the meantime, President Fiorentino said they are working on multiple tentative budgets based on different possibilities – including re-FHLYLQJ�ÁDW�IXQGLQJ�IRU�WKH�WKLUG�\HDU�in a row, “to cover our bases,” Fioren-tino said.

What to look forward to this week:
Assistant professor Gayatri Devi, of the English department, recently re-ceived a grant through the Center for Rural Pennsylva-nia in order to research the “barriers faced by domestic violence service agencies in delivering services in the ru-ral areas,” she said.
Devi stated that Penn-sylvania has “67 counties and 48 of them are rural.” This implies that a large majority of the population resides in a rural area. Ru-ral areas tend to have their own set of rules when it comes to things like domes-tic violence and reporting
and prosecuting said occur-rences, she said.
These particular ser-vices run into the problems that were previously men-tioned along with the fact that many of these areas are isolated by their loca-tion. The idea is that by de-termining the barriers the agencies face, then it will be easier to come to solutions and help people that are victims of domestic abuse in rural Pennsylvania.
Devi isn’t alone in this work, as it will involve a lot RI� ÀHOGZRUN� DQG� UHVHDUFK��She is supported in this en-deavor by associate profes-sor Lisette Schillig of the En-glish department; professor Nicole Burkholder-Mosco of the English department, associate professor Tara
Mitchell of the psychology department; assistant pro-fessor Holle Canatella of the history, political science, in-ternational studies and for-
eign languages department; and assistant professor Katherine Ely of the crimi-nal justice department.
Sara Guthrie, a sociol-ogy major and women and gender studies minor, is part of the research team as well. Student assistants at the HOPE Center will also help with data input and transcriptions.
“We are using two main instruments. We have a sur-vey to collect data and then we are doing focus groups,” Devi said.
This is a good way to get information from the source, which is vital when dealing with such a large number of rural areas. She has also been able to get data from other agencies, such as the Pennsylvania Coalition
Against Domestic Violence (PCADV) and Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), which will work with her on this project and will contribute to the data she and her col-leagues collect.
“Domestic violence is one of those really pain-ful truths that sort of exists out in the open and all com-munities are plagued by it, whether its urban or rural,” Devi said. “It is a serious public health issue. So I am very thankful that the leg-islature is actually funding this research and I am very thankful to the 23 agencies that are partnering with us.”

“The Walking Dead” has been a show that kept people on their seats for
the last few years, constantly coming up with different situa-
tions and scenarios that keep fans watching. “The Walking
Dead”, which was originally created from the original comic
series, has somewhat kept pace with the actual comic with
many of the main characters and seasons having events
that correspond with it.
Currently in its 5th
season, “The Walk-
ing Dead” seems to be
building up to an in-
FUHGLEOH� VHDVRQ� À-
nale which could
be life changing for
all the characters.
Finally at a “safe”
place known as Alex-
andria, the crew seems
WR�EH�WU\LQJ�WR�ÀW�LQ�ZLWK�people who have known
each other for a while. This
proves to be extremely hard and eventually costs
the lives of some.
With Noah killed by the Walkers (which was a scene that left many people
in rage) this could turn out to be a turning point for the last two episodes
of the season. However, more monumental than the slaying of Noah could
be the conversation between Gabrielle and the leader of Alexandria. Where
Gabrielle tells Alexandria that Rick and his people cannot be trusted. In my
opinion, when confronted with this information the group will do something
drastic that will change the dynamic of Alexandria.
The 5th season has been slow but so far it continues to provide twists
DQG�WXUQV�DW�HYHU\�HSLVRGH��7KLV�LV�ZK\�,�EHOLHYH�WKDW�WKH�VHDVRQ�ÀQDOH�will be something people do not expect. If the show continues to follow
the comic, it is believed they will meet a powerful antagonist who
will try to destroy Rick and his crew.
With the deaths of some of the most
liked characters (Noah and Beth) I be-
OLHYH�WKDW�WKH�VHDVRQ�ÀQDOH�ZLOO�FRQWLQXH�to follow its predecessor. Several ac-
tors from the show were quoted say-
ing “have your box of tissues ready.”

“Criminal Minds” has been a successful sea-
soned show, reaching the end of its 10th season.
Fans have seen a few main characters come and go
on the show and have always come to quickly love
the new casting roles.
7KH�ÀUVW�PHPEHU�RI�WKH�FDVW�WR�OHDYH�WKH�VKRZ�was Elle Greenaway played by Lola Glaudini.
A g e n t Greenaway was replaced by Emily
Prentiss played by Paget Brews-
ter. Prentiss’ likable personal-
ity and drive to help the team
resulted in favorability of the
change in casting.
Jason Gideon played
by Mandy Patinkin was the
next character to leave the
team. As the Behavioral

ment, it took him a few episodes to adjust working
with a team but he fell into the routine quickly.
The fact that he never overstepped leader of the
team Aaron Hotchner’s leadership, caused his fan
base to grow more quickly.
Emily Prentiss was eventually replaced by Dr.
Alex Blake. Jeanne Tripplehorn’s character took a
little bit to like, but honestly, she never seem to

Newest member to the BAU on the show is
agent Kate Callahan played by Jennifer Love
Hewitt. Hewitt’s character is replacing Dr. Alex
Blake after she chose to leave the team. Many fans
were a little skeptical in seeing Hewitt in season
10. In recent years, Hewitt has become a sex sym-
bol with her role on the television show “The Client
List”, where she played a prostitute disguised as a
masseuse.

sured as Hewitt’s character
is a positive role model
who is dressed mod-
estly and a mother to
her diseased sister’s
daughter.
Every charac-
ter on the show, re-
placement or not
has been personally
effected by a case,
Hewitt’s character
is not excluded as
her daughter has
been pursued by an
online child preda-
tor.
With the season
coming to a close,
only time will tell
how Hewitt’s charac-
ter will pan out on the
show.

Plant Nanny is a great new app that gets you to drink water regularly by reminding you to water your plant. Once you download the app you choose your plant and pot then start watering it with every glass of water you drink. The app reminds you to stay hydrated; if you don’t drink, you don’t water your plant and it starts to wither. The plant has a cute face and you get to name it so when you don’t drink water, little Frederick will die. It’s an app that combines health with fun and it shows you how dehy-drated you really are. Kiersten Beech-er, a junior Sociology major said, “I feel like I’ve been dehydrated my entire life” after using this app for a few days and drinking 100% of her recommended water intake each day. It’s hard to get used to the sud-den increase of water you’re drinking. Beecher says, “I’ve never gone to the bathroom this much” but after a while you get used to it and you start to feel better. Drinking water helps your body flush out all the unhealthy toxins that
sit in it so if your pee isn’t clear or very light yellow, you aren’t hydrated enough! Hydration is important and if you need a reminder to drink more water each day, Plant Nanny is perfect for you! HINT: To help you remember to drink, carry around a water bottle (the larger the better: 32oz recommended) and keep it in sight. Seeing it, you’ll start to drink more and it becomes a habit. Just remember to keep refilling it. FACT: Most of the time you feel hungry, you’re actually thirsty. All those times wandering around your kitchen not knowing what you want to eat, your body is actually searching for water. If you drink more water, you’ll feel less hungry and stop all the un-healthy munching. ADVICE: Drink WATER. Water is the best thing to put in your body. It’s good for brain activity and actually wakes you up. Download Plan Nanny to start getting healthy and hydrated!

We all know the Earth has one moon. We are so sure of this that we simply call it “moon” rather than the name it was given by the Greek or Roman names, Selene or Luna, respectively. What if I told you that as-sumption was wrong? We have another moon and its name is 3753 Cruithne or just Cruithne for short. It’s true. It was detected way back in 1997 and has a rather unusual orbit.
Cruithne has what is called a horseshoe orbit and so doesn’t have the pretty elliptical orbit our moon does. It makes a strange and messy ring around the Earth in a pattern that looks a lot like some kid drew it with a Spirograph. It takes only a year to orbit the sun while slipping into both
Venus’s and Mar’s territory. Cruithne takes 800 years though to complete its rather odd orbit around us.
So now you know we have a second moon but it is nothing like the familiar one we see every night. It is only a little over 3 miles in diameter and the gravity is so weak that a good jog could launch you into space from its surface. The sad thing about this odd orbital satellite is that it won’t be ours forever. It will eventually get so close to Venus, in about 8,000 years, WKDW�LW�WKH�SODQHWV�JUDYLW\�ZLOO�ÁLQJ�LW�RXW�RI�RXU�RUELW�DQG�RII�LQWR�WKH�UHVW�RI�space.
That will be the end of our second moon but don’t despair. It turns out that Earth may have many more odd orbiting satellites in the future. We have in the past. They latch on to our gravity and orbit in a multi-tude of strange patterns before eventually leaving us and heading off some-where else, perhaps to another celestial body to orbit.

While it is getting warmer out there, winter is still here and the cold wind
keeps a lot of us inside when we should be trekking our way to the gym. But if
you’re someone who doesn’t like the gym or the cold, or are too lazy to put pants on and leave your room, here are some
simple daily exercises for you that won’t take away from your precious time lying around. They get progressively harder as the week goes on to build up your
strength but they aren’t impossible and don’t take very long to complete.

Sign of the Month: AriesKyra [email protected]
Dates: March 21 – April 21
Element: Fire
Personality: Independent and headstrong, Aries are very much like the
ram that symbolizes their sign. Those born under this sign tend to be natural
leaders and often take charge whenever the opportunity occurs. The down-
side of this is that they might not always respond well to authority and not
getting their own way.
Aries are slightly aggressive and will often leap to the defense of under
dogs and friends. Their friends are a huge part of an Aries’ life and helps
focus Aries’ generous and caring nature.
Though driven, an Aries may not complete tasks if they become bored or
impatient. They prefer to initiate, as part of their go-getter personality, and
be at the forefront of new projects or ideas. They also dislike failure and may
face insecurities if it is a possibility. The best way to keep them interested is
to make it into competitions, which are situations where Aries thrive.
Works well with: Leos, Sagittarius, Gemini and Aquarius.
Might have issues with: Libras, Capricorn and Cancer

Advisor: Ramona Broomer- [email protected]
Meetings: Thursday 5:30-7:30 Sloan 321 (The Countdown Theater)
About Dangerously Improv:Dangerously Improv strives to teach about the art of Improvisation
Comedy. The captains run the meetings with a pre-determined game list to
a group of 20-30 members excited to join in on the fun. Cassandra Irvin, a
senior English major, said, “D.I. is fun. Not only because it is a way to relieve
stress, but it is also a way to be in a positive environment around people who
just want to have fun.”
Members are never forced to join in and many members go to the meet-
ings each week simply to watch. This provides experience for the performers
as well to perform in front of a small audience. The weekly meetings also
serve as a rehearsal for the end of the semester show in Sloan Auditorium,
consisting of dedicated cast members.
“Dangerously Improv is a place where I can truly be myself” said Stuart
Harsch, a junior Theater major.

People who complain that they have no money yet who always seem to
have booze, cigarettes or whatever else tickles their fancy really tick me off. It
seems like I always come into contact with these people; for whatever reason,
they are drawn to me just as a bee is attracted to sugar. Naturally, they seem
to migrate to those who have the least patience with people of their kind. I, for
one, have absolutely no patience for these fools.
First off, if you have “no money” then you clearly shouldn’t have luxury,
non-essential items such as cigarettes or alcohol, or my personal favorites, tat-
WRRV�DQG�SLHUFLQJV��7KH�ÀUVW�GHIHQVH�WKHVH�SHRSOH�XVXDOO\�PDNH�LI�WKDW�WKRVH�items are essential for them to unwind and relax. They will say that they
spend money on them as some of the few things that they enjoy.
I support people indulging in things from time to time, because we all need
to, but when it comes down to a pack of cigarettes or dinner, the obvious choice
should be your personal well-being versus a habit.
Secondly, if money is an issue (we are college students; money is always
an issue) then you must educate yourself on what is an essential and what you
can live without. It’s not that hard to keep track of where your money is being
spent. And once you can see on paper where your money is going, you can cre-
ate a budget that is both livable and pleasurable at the same time.
Cigarettes and alcohol are non-essential items and if a large chunk of mon-
ey is being spent on non-essential items, it may be best to cut that spending
and use that money for something else. (People who have a serious habit or
addiction might have to cut those things out slowly so that overcoming their
addiction isn’t impossible.)
I’m not saying we can’t indulge in life and engage in habits or rituals some-
times that may not be in our best interest. I’m just saying that one must know
his or her limit.
Money unfortunately still doesn’t grow on trees, so we must learn what is
necessary and what can wait until another time.

ation. Especially if you are eating Wendy’s, smoking Newport cigarettes and
quenching your thirst with ice-cold Budweiser, I don’t want to hear you ques-
tion why you are so broke. All I can say is don’t gripe and moan in front of me
unless you want to hear the cold, hard truth.

This just in, folks: it’s the most wonderful time of
the year! I beg Mother Nature to hold on to her snow-
ÁDNHV�DV�ZH�FHOHEUDWH�WKH�ÀUVW�GD\�RI�VSULQJ�RQ�)UL-day. Don’t get me wrong—the winter season is great,
but only until about the second snowfall. After that,
my brain becomes as mucky and iced-over as our rug-
ged Pennsylvania roads.
I think I speak on behalf of anyone who prefers
to live in temperatures above 32 degrees by saying
that this bitter winter froze all of the positive ener-
gy I had built up for this semester. Dedicating my
time to working all week, spring break hardly felt
like spring, and was the farthest thing from a break.
Since coming back to school though, my motivation
is slowly starting to return with a little help from my
friend the sun.
As someone who was born on a steaming day in
July, I thrive in the warmth. I long for the mornings
when I’m woken up by the sun beaming through
my bedroom windows, birds singing love songs and
squirrels chasing each other between neighbors’
backyards. One thing I love the most though is be-
ing able to experience the rebirth of vegetation, but
especially people’s spirits.
I lose myself during the cold winter months, but
I, like many others, am able to grow and beam with
positive vibes once spring approaches the corner.
Nothing beats the smell of freshly cut grass, greener
than a gardener’s thumb, the laughter of little kids
that echoes in the streets while they race on scooters
and bikes and the array of sizzling meats and veg-
etables that line Dad’s overused grill.
With all this in mind, there’s no reason not to end
the semester with a bang, despite getting over the
winter-weather blues. There is so much to look for-
ward to during the upcoming months and they will
Á\�E\�EHIRUH�ZH�NQRZ�LW��Unfortunately, I get antsier than ever sitting in
class or while doing homework when it’s warm and
bright outside. If you feel this way too, I strongly
suggest laying out a blanket on the lawn to read or
study—even break up your study sessions by taking
a stroll on the dike.
So many positive, uplifting things happen when
the sun comes out, so why not take advantage of it?
Collect your own happy vibes and run with them. Go
to class, do your homework, enjoy dinner with your
friends, and go for a walk. Get outside and soak up
the sun—live life and appreciate your surroundings.
Life doesn’t always have to be dark and gloomy.
Make the most of being young and invincible; shine
as bright as the sun.

How to beat the Kentucky WildcatsJayson MoyerSports [email protected]
An undefeated regular season is hard to do. The Kentucky Wildcats accomplished that.
An undefeated regular season and a conference tournament championship are even harder to do. Kentucky accomplished that.
An undefeated regular season, a conference tournament championship, and a national championship without losing a game is the hardest of all to accomplish, and well, the Wildcats are on the brink of history.
,I� WKLV� ZHUH� WR� KDSSHQ�� .HQWXFN\� ������� ����� 6(&�� ZRXOG� EH� WKH� ÀUVW�Division-I men’s college basketball team to go undefeated and win a national championship since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers, led by coach Bob Knight.
While it seems like 90 percent of America is picking the Wildcats to win WKH�WRXUQDPHQW�WKLV�\HDU��,�DP�KHUH�WR�WHOO�\RX�WKDW�SLFNLQJ�WKH�UHVW�RI�WKH�ÀHOG�versus Kentucky is a smart play.
Kentucky may very well have the all-around best team in the entire NCAA this season. Currently they rank 29th in points per game at 74.9, and they have the nation’s third-best scoring defense, allowing an average of only 54 points per game.
Their size is incredible. Kentucky has six players above 6-9 on their squad, including two seven footers in Willie Cauley-Stein and Dakari Johnson.
0DQ\�WKLQN�WKDW�WKLV�WHDP�LV�ÁDZOHVV���0DQ\�WKLQN�WKDW�WKH\�DUH�DQ�HDV\�pick to win it all. But, there are ways to beat this Kentucky team.
7KH�ÀUVW�LV�\RX�0867�UHERXQG�²�ERWK�RIIHQVLYHO\�DQG�GHIHQVLYHO\���:LWK�the size and athleticism that Kentucky has, you have to be physical and claw your way to rebounds. Giving up too many offensive rebounds to the Wildcats will end up killing you.
6HFRQG�LV�WKDW�\RX�PXVW�EHDW�WKHLU�GHIHQVH�GRZQ�WKH�ÁRRU�� �*HWWLQJ�RXW�and running after a defensive rebound is crucial. Running in transition is a step towards winning against this Kentucky team.
Last, and the biggest one, is that you have to hit threes. It would take a good eight or more threes to beat Kentucky. No one has shot the ball particularly well against Kentucky this season, and a lot of that has to do with teams not being able to score in the paint against Kentucky, forcing them to take outside shots.
Here is a list of teams that could beat Kentucky: Villanova, Wisconsin, Arizona, Duke, Gonzaga, Iowa State, and North Carolina.
That’s only seven teams. But there are similar qualities between these teams.
They all can score. They all can shoot. They all are big enough. And they all play up-tempo.
If I had to pick one team that has the best chance at beating Kentucky, it would be Arizona in the Final Four. Arizona has great length, can score, and is awesome defensively.
While they are undefeated, and while they are clearly the best team in $PHULFD��VRPHRQH�LV�JRLQJ�WR�SXOO�RII�WKH�XQWKLQNDEOH�²�DQG�WKDW·V�ZK\�ZH�FDOO�it March Madness.
NCAA Tournament Preview: Pallotto’s PicksBret PallottoSports [email protected]
0DUFK� 0DGQHVV� LV� RIÀFLDOO\� KHUH�� 7KH� FRP-mittee members made their choices on Selection Sunday, and while there were some selections that UDLVHG�D�IHZ�H\HEURZV��,·P�ORRNLQJ�DW�\RX�8&/$���the bracket has been set and it’s time to dissect the matchups.
Kentucky, Villanova, Duke and Wisconsin all earned No. 1 seeds after stellar regular seasons. The quartet will look to improve upon the 120-0 re-cord that No. 1 seeds hold against No. 16 seeds since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985.
The real fun of March Madness begins when there are Cinderella teams that make a run deep into the tournament. With that being said, I’m go-ing to stick my neck out there and try to predict where the upsets will happen so you don’t end up with a busted bracket.
Beginning in the Midwest region, the No. 5 West Virginia Mountaineers take on No. 12 Buf-falo, who are lead by head coach, Bobby Hurley. The Bulls come into the game 9-3 in their last 12 JDPHV��ZKLOH�:98�LV�RQO\������:HVW�9LUJLQLD�LV�D�lackluster 2-7 against the top 25, while Buffalo is 0-2 with one of the two losses coming at Kentucky. Buffalo is the lead by two young guards in Shannon Evans and Lamonte Bearden along with PF Justin
0RVV�ZKR�DYHUDJHV������33*�DQG�����53*��:98�is dependent on offensive rebounds and steals, but Buffalo’s trio is more than capable to handle the Mountaineers style of play. I’m taking the Bulls.
My Final Four selection coming out of the Mid-west region is none other than the consensus No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats. They’re outstanding on offense and defense. They’ve got size, they’ve got guard play. In short, they can do it all.
Looking at the West region, the only “upset” pick that I have selected is No. 10 Ohio State over 1R����9&8��'·$QJHOR�5XVVHOO�������33*������53*��5.1 APG) is a stud for the sharp-shooting Buckeyes and as long as head coach Thad Matta has his team prepared for the havoc style of defense that Shaka Smart’s rams play. I see the Buckeyes moving for-ward to the round of 32.
Coming out of the region, I’ve got the North Carolina Tar Heels. Marcus Paige is another explo-sive guard on a team that can rebound and defend the 3-point shot. I’ve got them beating both Wiscon-sin and Arizona to get there.
0RYLQJ� RQWR� WKH� (DVW� UHJLRQ�� WKH� 1R�� ��� 8&�Irvine Anteaters are primed to upset No. 4 Louis-ville. Louisville doesn’t have quality depth and isn’t a good 3-point shooting team (30.4 percent for the season). I believe Louisville could be riding their reputation this season, more than their perfor-PDQFH��8&�,UYLQH��WKRXJK��KDV���IRRW���LQFK�FHQWHU�Mamadou Ndiaye who is getting healthy which will only boost their solid defensive play.
The No. 1 Villanova Wildcats will be the Final Four representative of the East region, though. Jay Wright’s team steamrolled their way through the Big East tournament and have six scorers who can go off at any moment. Sixth man of year in the Big East, Josh Hart, went on to win tournament MVP which only goes to show the depth that ‘Nova has.

Another game to watch for in that region is No. 4 Georgetown against No. 13 Eastern Washington. I’d be more inclined to pick against the Hoyas if LW�ZHUHQ·W�IRU�'·9DXQWHV�6PLWK�5LYHUD��(:8�DYHU-ages 80.8 PPG, but they don’t match up well with Georgetown’s 350-pound center Joshua Smith.
The region will be won by Iowa State after a thrilling Elite Eight game against the Duke Blue Devils.
With all of that being said, my Final Four teams are as follows: No. 1 Kentucky, No. 4 North Carolina, No. 1 Villanova and No. 3 Iowa State. The championship game will see Kentucky attempt to go 40-0, but they will fall short after losing to D�GHHS�9LOODQRYD�WHDP�ZKR�ZLOO�FDSWXUH�WKHLU�ÀUVW�championship since 1985.

The LHU wrestling team is set for 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Cham-pionship action.
The 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships begin tomorrow (Thursday, March 19) at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Action runs through 6DWXUGD\��0DUFK�����QLJKW·V�ÀQDOV�
The trio of Ronnie Perry (133), Dan Neff (149) and Fred Garcia (184) will represent the Bald Eagles. Neff and Garcia are both making their third con-secutive NCAA Tournament appearances. Perry is making his debut on the sports’ largest stage.
Perry, who was second at the Eastern Wresting League (EWL) Champion-ships, enters tomorrow’s First Round with 30 wins on the season. Neff’s last two NCAA Tournament appearances came at 141 pounds and Garcia, who re-cently earned his 100th career win has competed at 184-pounds at the NCAA Championships in each of the last two seasons.
Neff went 1-2 in each of his last two appearances at the NCAA Champion-ships, while Garcia was 1-2 last year, after going 2-2 in 2013.
The 2014-15 season marked just the second season for LHU head coach Scott Moore, who for the second straight year has helped three or more stu-
dent-athletes qualify for the NCAA Tournament. Last season, LHU sent four guys to Oklahoma City.
During the 2014-15 season LHU went 3-3 in EWL action (7-12 overall). The three conference wins mark Lock Haven’s most EWL wins since the Bald Eagles were 3-3 during the 2004-05 season.
