Student Newspaper The Volume 115 Edition 4 Prospector March 2, 2017 Frontier Conference Champions Men's basketball claims title outright for rst time since 2005-06 season Carroll Sports Information

It wasn't easy, but nobody expected it to be. In two previous meetings between Carroll College and Lewis-Clark State in men's basketball, the Saints won both, but by a combined four points, the second game went into overtime. Saturday night, Carroll overcame a second-half slump to earn a 63-60 win and earn the outright Frontier Conference title and the No. 1 Seed in the conference tournament. "When you're part of a group that does something like this, you can't help but be grateful," Coach Carson Cunningham said. "I'm grateful for the opportunity to coach these fantastic, moxie-filled young men, for all the members of the coaching staff, coach Carlito Labarda, coach Jesse Repay, coach Scott Menzies and manager Judd Brost. I'm grateful for Carroll Col- lege, which has a huge heart, for the folks who help us put on home and away games and who clean up afterward, for athletic trainer Jeff Birchell. I could go on and on. Shoot I've stolen so much -- actual- ly, Huck Finn calls it borrowing -- from Gene Keady and Brad Stevens, I've got to thank them. I've gotten to learn from a great group of coaches at Carroll -- Coach Rachelle Sayers and Gary Turcott, Coach Mike Van Diest and his incredible staff and more. Fortunately, we've got a lot of hoops in front of us. We'll savor this tonight and get back to prep mode for the conference tourney and then the national tourney." The game was an instant classic, but it didn't start that way. Lewis-Clark missed More BASKETBALL on Page 6

Tegan Lane Student Writer Since the opening of the Hunthausen Activity Center (HAC) in February, 2017, students have been excited to make use of the yoga class, weight lifting, basketball games, and racquetball activities in the new state-of-the-art facility. The new center has so far been a huge hit among students, perhaps justifying the $11 million price tag. “The building is extraordinary and such a gift to all of us at Carroll," said Director of Student Activities, Recreation, and Leadership Patrick Harris. "It really is amazing how many opportunities students and employees now have available to them." The new activities center boasts a Rec- reational and intramural space, including gymnasium and open court space, fitness center with weights and cardiovascular equipment, multi-purpose and movement rooms for fitness classes, a climbing wall and storage space for outdoor activity gear, meeting rooms and lounge, locker rooms, spaces for students to meet for study and socializing, and much more. The HAC is a place for the students, run by the students. It currently has 34 committed student employees. Harris says the employees are great care takers of the building and continue to improve Senior Megan Mullaney makes use of the new treadmill in the Hunthausen Activity Center.

Fort Collins, Colorado Napa, California 16 Thursday, March 2, 2017 BACK PAGE Chapel and apartments add new look to campus Jessica Salmassian Lead Writer Now that the snow and ice has thawed and melted away, construction crews are working long hours to finish the outstand- ing projects on campus, including the new apartments and chapel. “We’re just so excited to have these for our students; when they see the opportuni- ties, whether it be health or prayer life and student life, they’re going be excited,” said Tom McCarvel, the project manager. McCarvel, who retired in December, is staying on campus to see these projects through as Carroll’s Project Manager. “My dream was to help be part of a transformation,” McCarvel said. Carroll has already undergone some smaller improvements, like refurbishing classrooms, relocating the mailroom, and restoring the lobby in St. Charles. Those were only the beginning. “All we can do is keep moving for- ward,” McCarvel said. McCarvel estimates that 27 men are working on the apartments at a rapid pace now that the weather has improved. He trusts the apartments, St. Alfred the Great and St. John Vianney, will be completed and ready for students in late August. He says the biggest challenge for these proj- ects so far has been the cold temperatures Inside view of the chapel in Old North.
