Dribbling Across Demographics
Aside from making up the biggest class in school history, the freshmen on Cedarville’s men’s basketball team bring cultural diversity, talent and humility to the court.
Seven players make up this year’s recruiting class. Center Roshane O’Brien and wing Gregory Wallace come from Jamaica. Forward Robert Okoro is from Nigeria, and forward Gabriel Portillo, a sophomore by credit, is from Italy. Stateside, wing Kwenton Scott hails from Arizona, and guards Colton Linkous and Kyle Laffin ...
After Conference Title, Jackets Come Back for More
“Give somebody a knuckle,” Coach Kari Flunker-Hoffman yells following a pre-practice drill. The Cedarville women’s basketball team bump knuckles on the baseline with each other as practice gets underway.
Coming off a magical 27-win season in which they won their conference and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Division II Tournament, head coach Kirk Martin and his team are back and hungry for more.
Senior forward Kayla Linkous said the team’s goal is to go beyond what they did ...
Cedarville Advances to G-MAC Final
Cedarville’s men’s soccer team defeated visiting Ohio Valley in the G-MAC tournament semifinal Thursday night in a defensive struggle, 2-0. The win advances the Jackets to the conference final to be held 1 p.m. Nov. 7 on the home field.
The scoring didn’t get underway until the 62nd minute, when junior forward Jon Brown took a long ball from junior defender Bradley Schluter and kicked it into the goal to put the Jackets up 1-0.
For the rest of the game, Cedarville’s defense held ...
Bus Tour Increases Civil Rights Awareness
A small group of students had the opportunity to travel to five cities during the last week of September to gain a firsthand experience of civil rights history.
Sponsored by Cedarville University, the Civil Rights Bus Tour was led by Cedarville's senior professor of history Murray Murdoch, who recently reached his 50th teaching anniversary at Cedarville, and Greg Dyson, the university's director of intercultural leadership.
The group began the tour in Wilberforce, Ohio, and then traveled ...
Cedarville Advances in G-MAC Tournament
Cedarville's women's soccer team came from behind to defeat Trevecca Nazarene, 2-1, Saturday, Oct. 31 in the first game of the G-MAC tournament and head coach John McGillivray’s last home game.
The Lady Jackets were down early. Three minutes into the game, the Trojans scored on a corner kick to go up 1-0.
Trevecca controlled the game early on, but with 16 minutes left in the half, Lady Jacket senior Jacoby Ziegler broke a defender’s ankles and had a shot on goal. The Trojan goalke...
What’s Happening to the World?
It’s no secret that the Cedarville bubble is seemingly impenetrable by news.
You may catch a glimpse of FOX News or ESPN as you walk by the SSC Info Desk or work out in the fitness center. You attend chapel and pray for the tragedies that hit close to home, the people who are suffering. You skim Twitter and Facebook, catching the breaking news and click-bait stories composed of cats and GIFs. You may “like” or “favorite” the post, but odds are you do so without reading more than ...
Student Spotlight – Johnathan Coraccio: Dancer, Comedian
Johnathan Coraccio, a senior computer science major, said he dances and makes people laugh for the glory of God.
As a Christian, Coraccio said he draws his inspiration from God, knowing that he performs for God.
“When I dance, in my mind, it is my way of worshiping God to show, ‘Hey, this is something that he has given me a passion for,’” Coraccio said, “so I just want to point this back to him.”
Coraccio is the president of Cedarville’s dance org, Ayo, where he seeks ...
Purity and Redemption
Purity: the word may make you squirm. Physical purity, modesty and the like are emphasized at a young age, perhaps more so for tween and teen girls than for boys. But in a Christian community such as Cedarville University, the purity conversations must not be avoided, said Tara Winter, org adviser for Sanctify Ministries.
“The purity conversation you had when you were 12 or 13 looks a lot different when you are 19 or 20,” said Winter, the licensure, testing and accreditation coordinator ...
