Tech’s club ice hockey team kicked off their season with a challenging doubleheader against Florida State University, looking to build on both lessons and momentum from last year. Despite finishing sixth in the College Hockey South Division II, the Jackets impressed with two standout victories over Division I opponents in Auburn University and the University of South Carolina. With over 60% of the roster returning from the previous year, the Jackets entered the season with a blend of experienced players and fresh talent, setting the stage for an exciting campaign.

The anticipation for the season opener was electric — tickets sold out for the bus, and a packed student section got ready to back the Jackets in full force. Third-year CS Pranay Prasanna, a key forward and the team’s public relations leader, captured the weight of the game.

 “Playing FSU was huge for us, especially after the football team’s win two weeks ago. We wanted to make this a statement game,” Prasanna said. The energy and anticipation surrounding the matchup were palpable, heightening the stakes for the Jackets as they kicked off their new season.

The weekend’s action began on Friday, Sept.  6, in a packed arena where FSU quickly asserted their dominance, outshooting the Jackets 13-3 and taking a 1-0 lead in the first period. Tech struggled initially but found their stride in the second period, ramping up offensively and outshooting FSU 11-10. Despite the Seminoles adding another goal, Tech responded just two minutes later with a goal from freshman defenseman Andrew Zhang, closing the gap to 2-1. However, the Seminoles re-established their two-goal advantage just over a minute later, sending both teams to the locker rooms with a 3-1 score.

The Jackets came out determined in the third period, outshooting FSU 12-9 as they turned up the intensity. They capitalized on a crucial power play early in the period, with sophomore forward Cullen Dorcas netting the second goal of the game to bring the score to 3-2. As the momentum shifted in Tech’s favor, the Jackets continued to apply pressure, creating several dangerous opportunities. However, the Seminoles quickly countered, restoring their two-point lead at 4-2. Refusing to back down, the Jackets mounted a final push in the last moments, and Dorcas delivered again, scoring with just 83 seconds left on the clock to narrow the gap to 4-3. Tech pressed relentlessly for an equalizer, but FSU put the game out of reach with a fifth and final goal, resulting in a hard-fought 5-3 loss.

Shaking things up on the ice, Tech took a fresh approach to their lineup for the second game on Saturday, Sept.  7. The Jackets came out strong with an early goal from freshman forward Ethan Mazor, but FSU quickly regained the upper hand, taking a 2-1 lead into halftime. Tech responded with a surge in the second period, scoring twice within a minute to take a 3-2 lead with goals from junior defenseman Jake Kotzian and junior forward Ethan Molnar. The game intensified as FSU tied it up at 3-3 with minutes remaining, leading to an exhilarating overtime. The Jackets and Noles battled it out, but neither could secure a win. The game ended in a 3-3 tie.

As underdogs in many of their matchups, the team is no stranger to close battles. Prasanna encapsulated the team’s fighting spirit, noting, “For most games, we’ve been underdogs, and one thing about us is that we always put up a close fight. We wanna keep that about us.” This mentality has become a hallmark of their play. The team remains optimistic that they can maintain that standard with a new roster featuring several first-year students, adding a fresh dimension to the team’s dynamics. However, this influx of fresh talent presents its own challenges, particularly in terms of building chemistry and aligning defensive strategies.

Fourth-year MSE Ryan Peacock, the team’s president, alternate captain and defenseman, highlighted the importance of chemistry for a cohesive defensive unit. “A lot of the defensive zone comes down to chemistry and getting everyone on the same system. … Everyone comes from different backgrounds, and even small differences can disrupt the whole defensive setup. It takes time and trust to get it right,” said Peacock.

 Despite these challenges, the improvement seen in Saturday’s game was a promising sign for a team still acclimating to one another. Peacock also praised the impact of recent additions, noting, “We’ve added a lot of creative playmakers, bringing in both speed and playmaking ability.” 

The hockey team is gearing up for a busy stretch of games as they head into the upcoming weeks. Their next away trip will see them face off against the University of Central Florida on Sept.  20 and 21, followed by another away matchup against Auburn on Sept.  27. After these road games, the team will return home for a pair of games against Kennesaw State on Oct. 4 and 5.

Looking ahead, one of the most eagerly anticipated events of the season is the Savannah Classic, taking place on Jan. 17 and 18. The tournament is set to be a major highlight, providing the Jackets with a prime opportunity to showcase their skills on a larger stage. Tech will face off against u[sic]GA in the opening game at the Enmarket Arena. With a tournament-style format, a strong performance could set the Jackets up for a showdown against either the University of Tennessee or the University of Florida, promising a thrilling weekend of hockey action.

It’s been a while, and for good reason. Though my diehard fans and loyal readers have grown rabid during this summer cyclist dry spell, I simply haven’t had the time or the wherewithal to keep up with my previous pace. Last time around, I recounted my experience cycling through the majestic Cascade Range in Central Oregon. It was a journey and a battle that my body had never seen the likes of before. But there’s one thing I neglected to mention about my daring glide around the Bachelor loop — a mysterious knee injury.

About three-fourths of the way to my eventual end point, I noticed a sudden jolt of pain in my upper-right calf, located just below the “knee-pit.” Not only did I have absolutely no intention of letting this sudden burst stagger my progress, but I had no choice but to trudge along. I was in the middle of nowhere, and perhaps overly committed to thrusting myself across an imaginary finish line. The pain lingered for the duration of the ride, but it was the least of my many concerns, including dehydration and a growing layer of wildfire smoke threatening my lungs. But, having sustained many injuries throughout my athletic career and everyday life, I knew this type of tweak meant bad news.

That night and throughout the next couple of days, I consistently iced the tender areas of my leg. A float along the Deschutes River and its cool, refreshing summer temperatures added an extra element to the healing process. At the time, everything seemed okay; I had just completed the ride of my life and the pain was starting to fade. It would soon return.

I know what you’re thinking: writing about film, television and biking for the UO newspaper surely must rake in the big bucks. Not quite. I briefly mentioned my new job last time around, but I hadn’t quite put in the hours to understand exactly how taxing it would turn out to be. For my non-journalistic summer side hustle, I work as a delivery associate for the Aloha Fleet — a brand new Amazon driving dispatch stationed in Hillsboro.

The average work day lasts 10, sometimes 11 exhausting hours. When I’m not being ferociously barked at by territorial dogs or yapped at by the unruly and unpredictable citizens of Forest Grove, Oregon, I’m awkwardly twisting, precariously lifting, jumping or sprinting. I’m talking nearly 300 packages and 150-200 stops per day. It’s safe to say, this is not the best job for nursing a knee injury.

Very quickly, during my first day back after returning from vacation in Sunriver, I felt my knee pain begin to reappear. The constant torsion, swift van departing and heavy lifting had me aching for the better half of each day. My competitive nature forces me to deliver as fast as possible, for no reason other than for fun and to impress my colleagues, making it all the more impossible to rehabilitate my injury. So much so, that it even felt like the soreness was spreading north to my proper knee, and even my lower femur (I have received precisely zero medical support during this time). But with the scattered day off and a lack of any more biking, the pain began to hush up a bit.

Bring on football season. With the ducks playing every weekend — some of the only times when I’m not on the clock — I traveled home to Eugene for the past two Saturdays to watch my football team underperform. For the Boise State game, however, I decided to lug my bike down I-5 and put my knee to the test in its old stomping grounds. On a beautiful pregame afternoon in Eugene, I returned to the iconic West Bank Bike Path along the Willamette River — the route that launched this column. What once felt like a difficult accomplishment now felt like a walk in the park. It was nice to officially confirm that my training was paying off despite taking a bit of a break. Better yet, my knee wasn’t really an issue.

I have since given my two weeks’ notice at work and plan to use the remaining time before school starts to reimmerse myself in the world of cycling. Old favorites like the Banks-Vernonia State Trail are on my dashboard, but I’m excited to try out some new routes — ones that feel similar to the eventual Portland-to-Eugene grand finale.

The pain might still come and go, but I’ve proven to myself I can bike without further complications. As annoying as staying idle for so long might have been, I can’t look back now. It’s September. The time is now.

Old Dominion University (0-2) prepares to face the (1-1) Virginia Tech Hokies. Following a recent defeat against the ECU Pirates, Old Dominion aims to even out the overall record of (3-2) in the series by winning its sixth match against the Hokies.

Although this rivalry dates back to 2017, both teams have only secured victories on their home turfs. Last season, the Hokies held the home-field advantage and secured a win in Blacksburg, Va. This time, the Monarchs will host the Hokies at S.B. Ballard Stadium on Saturday at 6 p.m.

ODU 2024 Season (so far):

Old Dominion has had a challenging start to the season, suffering consecutive single-score losses against the South Carolina Gamecocks (23-19) and the ECU Pirates (20-14). While these losses have emphasized the team’s struggle to close games in the late stages, they have also highlighted the Monarchs’ ability to keep the game competitive. The defensive unit demonstrated its strength by causing ECU’s Jake Garcia to throw four interceptions and securing a total of 3 sacks, providing a positive aspect for the Monarchs in week three.

On the offensive front, the Monarchs have failed to exceed 20 points in the last two games, and Junior Quarterback Grant Wilson has not achieved over 200 passing yards. However, the challenge cannot be attributed solely to Wilson; the offensive line has allowed nine sacks, presenting an area for improvement. Despite these challenges, there is hope for the Monarchs, especially as they face a Virginia Tech defensive line that has only recorded four sacks. As a result, ODU fans can anticipate an improved offensive performance.

Key Players to Watch:

Senior Running Back Aaron Young:
Young’s significant role within the team is evident from his 25 carries last weekend, totaling 139 rushing yards and 1 touchdown against ECU. ODU’s reliance on Young as a key player in running the ball signifies his importance in Saturday’s game.

Sophomore Linebacker Koa Naotala:
Naotala has nearly matched his 2023 season total of 29 tackles within the past two games, demonstrating his ability to contribute to the defensive unit. His performance last week, in the absence of Senior Linebacker Jason Henderson, highlights his potential impact against Virginia Tech.

Virginia Tech Season (so far):

Virginia Tech faced an upset against Vanderbilt in week one, recognizing the significance of this upcoming rivalry matchup. Coming off their season-opening loss, the Hokies hosted Marshall last weekend for their home-opener and defated the Herd 31-14.

Junior Quarterback and Baylor transfer Kyron Drones has displayed his ability to drive the team’s offense. It may have been rocky in week one for the Tech offense, but it seemed as though they caught a glimpse of the potential their offense has. To secure a victory against the Hokies, the Monarchs must focus on pressuring Drones, containing Senior Running Back Bhayshul Tuten, who has scored in both games this season, and disrupting the Hokies’ offense. Anticipating a vibrant atmosphere at S.B. Ballard Stadium, fans are eagerly looking forward to Old Dominion’s quest for their first win of the season against one of their rivals.

The game will be held at S.B. Ballard Stadium and broadcast on ODU Sports Radio Network, with television coverage on ESPN+. Kickoff is at 6 p.m. #BeatTech

Colorado State soccer faced off against Denver in a physical matchup that was very defensive between the two teams. 

CSU lost against DU, who outran the Rams in a close match. CSU walked away from this game with a 3-3-1 record. Even though the Rams gave up a goal to DU midfielder Vanessa Murray in the 48th minute, this goal was Murray’s first goal of the season.

CSU still played a great defensive game. CSU was able to fight off 16 shots, only allowing one goal.  The fact that CSU kept this game to one score is a testament to its defense and ability to force bad shots.

“Having this game personally for me seeing that, ‘Yes, I can make these saves, and yes I’m prepared to go into the Mountain West and be there for my team,’” goalkeeper Shayna Ross said. “It was a little bit nice to make those saves and kind of find some security and confidence in what I can do in my position.” 

 The Pioneers gave the Rams no time to breathe, and they threw the ball into play as quickly as they could to keep the Rams on their heels. This helped DU find gaps in the Rams coverage making it easier for DU to stay on the attack in the Rams territory. 

“They were quick,” Kenady Leighton said. “We practiced to match that and they’re a good team with good speed, and it’s a really great look for us going into conference. Because a lot of the teams that we play against will see kind of similar with Denver.” 

The Rams had some great opportunities to capitalize against DU with great positioning. However, the Rams were unable to find the net. Either the ball would sail over the goal or just miss the net and go wide left or wide right. 

“That’s just focus, focus and technique,” coach Keeley Hagen said. “When you get that moment, you look at the pros and they do the same thing. So it’s when you get that moment you gotta execute and keep your head down and run through the ball and we just got a little bit underneath it.” 

The Rams had a great opportunity to score when DU goalkeeper Molly Wissman slipped and fell outside the box. DU was able to rally and keep up its positioning to force a bad shot to give them time to regroup on defense and get the ball back. 

There were many physical moments between the teams, but there was only one yellow card handed out. The player who received the yellow card was CSU’s Sam Cortez. The rest of the time it was physical but the two kept it clean. 

DU controlled the ball for most of the first half. However the Rams were able to keep the ball out of the back of the net with their quick defensive play.

The Rams tried to play a slower and more strategic style of play with long throw ins and taking time on goal kicks. DU insisted on playing fast and physically, hoping to overwhelm the Rams defense.

DU took 10 shots, while the Rams only took five in the first half.  The Rams came out of halftime with a bit more speed trying to turn the tide against the Pioneers. 

DU took three corner kicks in the last 10 minutes, that helped DU take a lot of time off the clock to give the Rams no time to score or develop any kind of play. The cunning and quick play by the Pioneers was what helped them beat the Rams.

The Rams will take on Omaha next at 7 p.m. on Sept. 20 on the CSU soccer field.

Florida Southern College’s men’s and women’s cross country took No. 1 and No. 2 at the Holloway Collegiate XC Opener Sept. 6 on their home turf.

All-South Region juniors held their own in this race, with Christian Giller leading the pack to take second overall in the 6k. His outstanding performance earned him the SSC Weekly Award for Sept. 2-8. Mocs XC Kick-Off. Christopher Colavita followed in third, as Caleb Brady found himself right outside of the top 10, placing 11th.

For the women’s 4.2k, senior and 2023 SSC Co-Runner of the Year Emma Musante captured the No. 2 spot with a 15:17 performance. Graduate student and three-time All-South Region athlete Ellie Fluman finished 15:28 to earn 7th, while senior Mya Stam finished in the No. 11 spot, respectively.

With the first meet out of the way, both teams are preparing for what they hope to be dramatic seasons this fall.

Men’s Cross Country

Ranked No. 1 in the 2024 SSC Coaches’ Preseason Poll, No. 3 in the South Region and No. 26 in the nation, the Mocs have big shoes to fill. While they’re missing key graduates who heavily supported the team’s success at the NCAA II National Championships (Owen Allen, Alex Guy and Bryson Yamnitz), Men’s Cross Country Coach Matt Levassuir is confident the team will persevere.

“It’s going to be difficult for sure,” Levassuir said in an interview with FSC Athletics. “It’s going to be you know what we have. We have a couple of transfers that are guys that I recruited in high school that have come back to me since … and then we brought in some really good freshmen. You know, when you return, you may lose three of your top six, but if you return 17 of your top 20, you’re in pretty good shape.”

Levassuir says to keep an eye out for the “big three” juniors returning this season: Giller, Colavita and Anthony Matthew. Promising sophomores include Dylan Bailey, Connor Brooks, Will Canales, Cameron Raney, Cole Summers and Declan Ziomek – who set the freshman cross country 10k record at regionals which secured the Mocs’ spot at nationals in 2023.

The main goal for the year is to repeat as conference champions and reach for a regional championship. To increase their chances of doing so, Levassuir organized an unorthodox race schedule, competing a lot outside of the region.

“We’re going to go out of region to get some cross competition to help boost our chances in the event that were not in the top three in regionals so we can get in that large spot,” Levassuir told FSC Athletics. “But aside from the mathematical element, just giving our teams a chance to compete against other programs from other parts of the country just makes things better to give a way to challenge us. When you see the same people, you kind of expect the same things…”

However, he is more focused on approaching each race individually. Levassuir strives to keep his runners healthy to “[build] up our volume and our intensity so that we’re going to be able to peak at the right time.” 

Women’s Cross Country

Like the men’s team, the Lady Mocs were polled No. 3 in the South Region, but sit No. 4 in the  2024 SSC Coaches’ Preseason Poll. The team is motivated to claim a spot at the NCAA II Cross Country Nationals after earning fifth place at the NCAA South Regional Championships last year.

According to the FSC Athletics, their No. 5 spot was their highest rank at that meet since 2019. 

“I would say I think we had a really good pack last season, we definitely had some strong freshmen coming in,” Fluman said in an interview with FSC Athletics. “That definitely helped us, we had a lot of freshmen in our top 10, so that was awesome. Then we won the Montevallo Falcon Classic which again was very awesome, our first time winning in a very long time.”

With such improvement, Musante told FSC Athletics that she’s eager to see how the pack pushes for success now that they have “fire under their butts.”

“I think we have a little bit of fire under our butts,” Musante said. “I think we kind of have some big goals of what we can do at conference and regionals, coming off of a year where we thought we could’ve done better at conference. I think we can really work hard this year to do even better at conference than we did the previous year.”

Considering the strong freshmen class, return of last years’ top seven and their confidence boost from regionals, the path to nationals is looking clearer. 

“It’s really exciting that we’re returning every single one of our top seven, not every team is able to do that,” Musante said. “What is even more exciting is our eight, nine and 10, even the ones that are outside of the top seven are all so close, so that really bridges the gap between a lot of other teams, as well. That’s a really strong point of our team.”

This fall, students will have two more chances to catch both teams in action at Holloway Park: The Ed Holloway Collegiate XC Classic on Oct. 18 and the conference championship co-hosted with Nova Southeastern the following week.

Results from the Southern Showcase at Jackson State University on Sept. 13 were unavailable when publication was put online.

Bars, restaurants and college classrooms filled up across Boston to put on watch parties during the presidential debate on Tuesday night.

How to find your face online? It’s possible to search for people from the comfort of your home, and it’s easier and faster than you think.

Contrary to popular belief, facial recognition is far from a new technology. Thanks to decades of refinement, along with the recent surge in AI technology, facial recognition and online face search have become remarkably accurate – and it’s easy to test it yourself.

Facial recognition refers to a range of services that detect facial features. While all such services share the same goal—recognizing facial features—they operate in different ways. Some rely on software to measure the distances between certain features, while others, like Face ID on iPhones, use hardware to measure these distances in real time using infrared light.

More Than Just Unlocking Phones

Facial recognition was initially used primarily for biometric authentication. However, in recent years, its applications have expanded. Today, it’s employed as a security measure in airports and used by law enforcement in many countries for both administrative and criminal purposes.

With this technological evolution, websites offering online face recognition have emerged. These platforms allow everyday users to search for faces, often for free or for a fee below $30.

How Reverse Image Search Software Recognizes Faces

Access Control

Examples like Face ID and Windows Hello use a camera that projects a structured light pattern onto your face, capturing distortions to create a 3D map of your features. Key details, such as your eyes, nose, and mouth, are converted into a mathematical model stored securely on your device. When you unlock the device, it compares a new scan with the stored data to grant access.

Image-Based Search

Platforms like lenso.ai and PimEyes extract features from a user-uploaded image, enhancing clarity and normalizing lighting conditions. Key facial features are identified and converted into a mathematical model. The matching algorithm then compares this data to entries in their index, presenting images that exceed a similarity threshold as potential matches.

How to Find Faces Online

Here’s how you can search for your face using lenso.ai:

1. Visit lenso.ai.
2. On the homepage, upload a clear image of your face with all features visible.
3. If necessary, select the area of your face to search; you can also use the entire image.
4. Choose the “People” category to view exact matches; you can expand it by clicking “Show more” in the right corner of the screen.
5. Click on the matching image to open it on a new page, or follow the link below the thumbnail to visit the website where it appeared.

Tip: Create an account on lenso.ai to save all your results to Collections, making them easy to find later.

Thanks to lenso’s multi-billion image index, almost anyone can find images of themselves online—sometimes even ones they weren’t aware of.

The rapid growth of facial recognition technology brings tremendous potential for advancements in security, both online and offline, as well as education on image usage and propagation. With tools like lenso.ai, individuals can not only locate images of themselves but also take steps to remove them if necessary.

Gophers head coach P.J. Fleck said spreading the ball is the key to success.

Minnesota’s quarterback Max Brosmer found that key at Saturday’s game against Rhode Island when he completed 80% of his passes, leaving Fleck pleased with his performance. 

Another Gophers win meant another postgame crowd surf from Fleck in the locker room.

— Minnesota Football (@GopherFootball) September 7, 2024

Brosmer, the New Hampshire graduate transfer, said the game plan was the main reason for his ability to find different wide receivers.

“The o-line did an amazing job protecting all game and ultimately that allows the pass game and the run game to be efficient,” Brosmer said.

The Gophers quarterback finished the game with 271 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Offensive Coordinator Greg Harbaugh Jr. said Brosmer’s ability to diagnose the defense’s coverage kept the offense on schedule.

“It goes back to what I said the first time I talked about Max is his high-end processing ability,” Harbaugh said.

Gophers running back Darius Taylor posted career-highs in both receptions (4) and receiving yards (48) against Rhode Island.

Taylor returned to the field after missing week one due to injury. After the game Saturday, Fleck said the medical staff had Taylor in the range of 15 to 20 snaps.

The Gophers offense made use of Taylor’s limited plays as he touched the ball 18 times throughout the game.

Minnesota has historically relied on run plays. In each of the last five years, the Gophers finished in the top half of the Big Ten in rushing yards per game. Currently, the Gophers sit 17th in the newly expanded conference averaging 97.5 rushing yards per game.

Left tackle Aireontae Ersery said the Gophers offense missed Taylor and that the offensive line has been working on their ground game.

“If there’s issues with the run game we need to fix it as a unit,” Ersery said. “It has been brought to our attention, so we’ll go out there, go to practice and fix it.”

Minnesota rushed for 116 yards against Rhode Island thanks to 64 yards from Taylor. In week one, the Gophers rushed for 79 yards on 33 carries against North Carolina.

Fleck said the Gophers’ first two opponents did everything to stop the run.

“We were going to take what the defense gave us and we can sit there and be stubborn … or we can do what it takes to win the football game,” Fleck said.

The Gophers aerial attack picked up the slack in week two and the luxury of dominating a game is that more players got onto the field. Fleck said 71 different players were part of the Gophers’ win over the Rams.

Freshman quarterback Drake Lindsey and redshirt freshman transfer and wide receiver Tyler Williams connected for both players’ first collegiate touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Brosmer said he had a blast watching Lindsey play and was his biggest supporter on the sideline.

“Ultimate big brother moment,” Brosmer said. “He’s worked so hard and to see him have success on the field today was an amazing feeling.”

Whether you’re into astronomy, astrology, space travel or are simply looking for a fun activity to do on a Wednesday night, the weekly public planetarium shows at the Michael and Kimthanh Lê Planetarium return on Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. 

ODU’s planetarium can be found inside the new chemistry building – which finished construction in 2021 – located at 4501 Elkhorn Avenue. It is the second largest planetarium in the State of Virginia, after the Space Museum in Richmond. 

The first show of the semester, “Forward to the Moon!” is about creating an attainable future in space. It is narrated by Kari Byron, best known for the Discovery Channel’s “Mythbusters.” The show will introduce NASA’s Artemis program – cleverly named after the goddess of the moon, who happens to be Apollo’s twin. This will be the first crewed mission to the Moon’s surface since Apollo 17 in 1972, and it will land the first woman, the first person of color and the first international partner on the moon. The mission’s goal is to learn more about living on another planet, with the hopes of one day making it to Mars. 

Tickets start at $4, and can be bought using cash, credit, or debit at the door. Doors open thirty minutes before the show starts. “Forward to the Moon!” is open to the public and recommended for ages 10+. Seats are first come first serve, so get there early to get the best seat! 

Don’t fret if you miss this first event, public shows happen every Wednesday at 7 p.m. Upcoming shows include “Mars: The Ultimate Voyage,” on Sept. 18, and “The Sun: Our Living Star,” on Sept. 25.
