As mom to two small kiddos, Chris & Emily, going out to eat is not always the easiest thing to do. However, I still love to sit down at a table and enjoy a great meal that I did not have to prepare. In my six years of parenting, I have found a few favorite local places that manage to make going out to eat with children a wonderful experience.
Just off the Monon Trail in Carmel is Bub's Café. Open for breakfast and lunch, Bub's Cafe has quickly become one of our family favorites. Inside, the restaurant is bright, colorful, and cheerful - so my kids are smiling from the moment they walk in the door. The food is easy, yummy, and inexpensive - but best of all for me, they serve mimosas!
Overlooking the water in our small lake town of Cicero is Alexander's on the Water, a seasonal outdoor ice cream and food eatery. What started as a place to go for special treats has turned into a weekly must have each summer. We sit in the shade, stare out at the water, and gobble up the soft serve.
Also in Cicero is a tiny, small town diner called Erika's Place. Filled with local residents and delicious down home food, Erika's makes you feel like you're sitting in grandma's kitchen. No matter the time of day, my kids ask for the Mickey Mouse pancakes and are thrilled with they are brought out to them, covered in sprinkles, syrup and whipped cream. Every time I go, I get the ham and cheese omelet with shredded hash browns - and eat every. single. bite.
I also asked a few friends if I was missing anything from my list. Here are a few suggestions from other parents.
- Jan's Village Pizza is a local favorite of my family... The staff is friendly and great with the kids. Jan herself takes time to visit with us, she tell us stories about Westfield and even demonstrates how they create their delicious pizza. To top it off, on Thursdays they have a magician and live music on the weekends! - Laurissa, mom of Ava, age 11 and Sophia, age 1
- I love Courtney's Kitchen in Noblesville! They have great food, wonderful service and a family friendly environment. They are customer focused and even remember their regulars names and orders. Not to mention the price is great! - Katie, mom of Danica, age 8 and Zach, age 6

Can it be? It's already the last weekend of February! There's plenty of fun to be had on this milder weekend here in Hamilton County. From beer tasting to seeing local talent shine, there's something for everyone. Read on for 8 great ideas and check our online calendar for even more ideas.
1. Kick off the weekend a bit early with a trip to Prime 47 this Thursday evening. They offer a selection of $5 martinis plus live entertainment. Can't make it on Thursday? Friday they offer select bottles of wine for ½ price- perfect for date night!
2. Enjoy a local theater production! Talented folks will be gracing the stage to perform "Steel Magnolias" with Civic Theatre at the Tarkington. Also this weekend, the Carmel Theatre Company's show "The Dining Room" opens.
3. Or broaden your theatrical and music horizons with a trip to see a national act. Frank Ferrante will be presenting "An Evening with Groucho" on Friday and Saturday that's fun for the whole family. Or see Lee Greenwood live at the Palladium this Friday.
4. Love to try new beers? Don't miss Fishers on Tap this Saturday! 8 Indiana breweries will be serving up samples of their various beers. Plus for those who prefer grapes to hops, Chateau Thomas Winery will be on hand dishing out samples too.
5. There's always something new to learn at Conner Prairie! This weekend there's a historic trade class called Keeping and Raising Chickens where you can learn all about this skill. The Prairie's Livestock Manager will teach class participants about new and old breeds of chickens and how to care for them.
6. Spring is trying its very best to show itself here in Hamilton County! Warmer temperatures may have you in the mood for summer produce, and the Winter Farmers Market is as close as you can get. Seasonal veggies, plus meat, eggs, baked goods and more are all available this Saturday morning at the Indiana Design Center.
7. See the stars of tomorrow perform this weekend at the Carmel Arts Council's Young Performers Showcase! Over 100 mini-musicians will take to the piano stage to perform (and some for the first time) and compete. The winner will take home a hefty scholarship prize.
8. Make your reservations for upcoming activities at Nickel Plate Arts so you can shake off the winter blues and learn a new skill or have some artful conversation. Monday Night Drawing Classes are offered through spring and are open to all skill levels. Or if you're better versed in the art of conversation, RSVP today for the next Stone Soup Supper that will be held on February 27. Not only will you get tasty soup, but also a chance to chat with several local artists.

When I first started not eating meat at the age of 10, my mom kind of panicked. She didn't know how I was going to survive in part because she didn't know what to fix me for dinner. Fast-forward an amount of years that shall remain vague to when my babysitter, now a high school student, decided to go vegetarian. Her mother took a different approach by buying peanut butter and bread in bulk and not sweating it. Suffice to say, we both thrived.
Still, however, when it comes time for my friends and I to choose a restaurant, some worry there won't be any vegetarian options for me. I want to allay everyone's fears: People who shun meat do not need to eat at any special restaurant designated as acceptable by some pretentious vegan association. (Although if one is vegan, the options will dwindle rapidly.) Most of us can find something just about anywhere. Of course, some places have more of a variety than others, and I find ethnic restaurants typically have more to offer, such as:
Amber Indian, 12510 N. Meridian: I love their palak paneer and vegetable samosas.
Thai Castle, 19 East 126th & Rangeline: While a bit disappointed in their pad Thai, which is one of my favorite dishes, I enjoy their crispy tofu appetizer and chef Nikone is just a fun person, so I love going there.
Sichuan, 11588 Westfield Blvd.: Their lunch buffet is a vegetarian paradise.
My current favorite place, which is Italian, is Crust Pizzeria Napoletana, 12505 Old Meridian St. in Carmel.
It's cozy, warm and inviting. "Cozy" and "warm" are due in large part to the large stone hearth oven. Kept glowing at 700 degrees, it perfectly bakes their superb pizzas, which are topped with your choice of fresh (local and organic when possible) ingredients. And, oh, the options. For the carnivores, Amish chicken (from a small Hoosier farm), prosciutto, Italian sausage and homemade meatballs are choices alongside the standard pepperoni. For those of us who prefer pizza without a face, there is no need to limit yourself to cheese alone, although the Quattro Formaggio (mozzarella, parmesan, gorgonzola and ricotta cheeses) is a pleasant, but slightly bland, option. We thought it might benefit from the addition of mushrooms or onions.
Other tasty meatless options:
Margherita: fresh mozzarella, basil, and homemade pizza sauce
Four Seasons: Roasted peppers, roasted mushrooms, artichokes, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella.
Vegetarian: Roasted peppers, artichoke, zucchini, eggplant, squash, and fresh mozzarella.
Sicilian: Eggplant, roasted tomato, goat cheese, olives, and fresh mozzarella.
The Atlantic: Smoked salmon, capers, and cream cheese topped with arugula. (Yes, I know, it has fish, which I also eat. Because you know, it isn't meat. It's fish.)
Pizzas are 12" and prices range from $12 to $16.
My suggestion, however, is to come hungry. Your meal will begin with complimentary hummus. But by all means, that should not stop you from also ordering the amazing baked goat cheese appetizer ($8) Yes, it's a simple dish, but many of the best things are. The pungent, bubbly cheese and warm homemade marinara are just about the tastiest things you could ever spread on garlic bread. And it isn't the only vegetarian appetizer option. There's also bruschetta ($8), mac and cheese ($8), and spinach artichoke dip ($9). Salads are the vegetarian standard, and Crust has plenty from which to choose. Prices range from $6 to $9. Panini as well are a great choice with a couple of meatless options that move beyond the standard tomato, black olive and onion mixture you might be served at other pizza places. Prices are $9 to $9.50.
But don't skip dessert, either! We loved the Nutella, ricotta and coconut calzone. Other options, all priced at $5, include gelato with amaretti cookies , tiramisu and cheesecake.

Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about overpriced flowers and dinner reservations booked weeks in advance. It fact, it shouldn't be! There are too many amazing opportunities for a fun date night in Hamilton County to get caught up in a Valentine's Day cliché.
My husband and I have three small children, and finding time (and energy!) to head out for dates isn't always easy. We've gradually let go of the notion that dates are reserved for evenings, or always involve movies and long meals. We've learned to be creative and flexible with our alone time-grabbing a sitter for weekend mornings to have a brunch date, slipping away for a pre-dinner cocktail while the kids play at the neighbors' house, or even at-home dates with fresh pressed coffee and dessert after bedtime. It turns out, there are endless possibilities for romantic outings, including on Valentine's Day weekend!
This year, why not swap dinner and a movie for cocktails and appetizers? Finding a couple of chairs at the bar is much less of a hassle than remembering to book a table for dinner, and still gives you and your sweetie a nice evening out. Peterson's may be known for their steaks, but have you tried their oysters Rockefeller? They're creamy and rich, and taste just right with a glass of champagne (Why not? It's Valentine's Day, right?) Or head to Petite Chou in Clay Terrace for a French Martini and a few different sweet crepes. Better yet, celebrate on Saturday morning instead and head there for brunch-complete with bubbly mimosas! Pick up your favorite truffles at Simply Sweet Shoppe and pair them with coffee or cocoa for an at-home date, or visit Vine and Table for the perfect combination of cheese and wine to tuck into during a Netflix marathon at home!
This year, my husband and I stopped in Pizzology for a quick-but very delicious-date. We shared a steaming bowl of in a just-spicy-enough broth (you'll want to order extra breadsticks to mop it up, trust me). For cocktails, we decided on the Pimms Cup and the Vesper, both with bright, crisp flavors that cut through the spiciness of the mussels. I have yet to meet a Neal Brown creation I didn't instantly love. Take full advantage of the fact that we have a James Beard Award nominated chef right here in Hamilton County!
For another change of pace, visit Nickel Plate Arts! They'll be offering a Valentine's Day Date Night from 6-9pm featuring poetry readings, the new Love, Lust & Poetry exhibit, live music, beer, wine and desserts.
Whatever you do this Valentine's Day, make it creative and unique!

This winter is a cold, snowy mess that makes you ache for beaches and fruity drinks. Well, embrace it I say. What better way than a Hearthside Supper at Conner Prairie? This candlelight dinner done 1830s style was a great way to really enjoy the cold weather and eat some fantastic comfort food cooked over a fire. We were quickly welcomed inside the Conner House kitchen where a roaring fire complete with a bed of glowing coals perfect for cooking awaited us.
My sister and nephew came along and we learned that our father's use of the word 'receipt' rather than recipe is true to history. I was put to work making biscuits and learned how to mix and shape dough using only a wooden spoon and paddle. My sister was busy putting apple black-cap together, measuring the nutmeg in her hand. My nephew proudly ground the coffee that was served with our rice pudding at dessert.
After we finished helping with dinner preparation, we got a tour of the Conner house that included details of how daily life, including sleep, was different then. Beds were shorter because people slept in a propped up position to help them with their smoke-induced breathing ailments. But-back to the dinner. It was like a Thanksgiving feast with popcorn, cheese and sausage (from the Ossabaw pigs that are raised at Conner Prairie) with hot cider. That's just the appetizer menu.
Dinner began with onion soup with soppets, and continued with rump of beef with forcemeat (a type of bread dressing), roast chicken with herbs, mustard potatoes, carrots the Dutch way, brandied peaches and of course, the apple black-cap and biscuits that my sister and I helped prepare. We used flatware from an 1800s pattern with forks that were only used to hold food as it was cut. Spoons were only used for soup. So how did we eat? With the back side of the broad blade knife, of course!
After dinner we played a flirtatious game of 'Question and Answer' that had my young nephew laughing out loud. By the time we were served our rice pudding with tea and coffee, we were stuffed-both with food and the experience itself. It was still cold outside as we left the Conner House, but we were warmed inside and out with a wonderful evening at Conner Prairie that made us forget about winter for just a little bit.

What used to be a man's enclave, the golf course, is now a more shared world with wives and girlfriends. It is called couples golf and our Stay and Play courses host its many occasions.
It is often said that our play on the golf course shows our true nature. Our inner self is revealed in how we play; react with others, and to both the good and bad shots we hit. This observation might be applied to existing and future golf couplings.
Practicing psychology without a license, I set out to inquire how this might play out in the popularity of Hamilton County's couples golf events.
Ladies surveyed from area courses seemed to affirm that yes indeed, the time spent playing golf with their spouses was rewarding. While significantly in favor of couples golf, some comments came with a bit of qualification. With most starting golf later in life, women enjoyed their play most when the male was more a partner than hovering coach.
Some pointed out the four hours together was more than just golf. Mentioned were the fashions, outdoor settings and the chance to be "a sporty competitive gal" that men find attractive. That sentiment was seemingly confirmed in a men's survey comment, "There is nothing more charming than a pretty girl on a golf course."
The drinks and conversation back at the clubhouse extend the bonding event. "That's all good," said one woman, it blasts the "we don't talk anymore" bogey like a well-played sand wedge. Observing couples at the 19th hole suggests this socializing together-away from busy careers, home chores and kids-adds even more.
The survey of the men on the subject seemed to be a bit more guarded in comments. A central theme was concern on the level of the lady's playability on courses shared with others, perhaps forgetting their own golf beginnings.
"It is a matter of give and take," said one..."do give support to the taking of lessons from a professional." Along this line was the perceptive counsel that play with one's own gender and peers only enhanced the fun when joining together in Mr. & Ms. golf.
"Don't just make couples golf the primary time one plays," suggested a long time golf partner. "Also make use of practice facilities," he added.
Those men that played golf with spouses, and enjoyed it, voiced the same social positives as mentioned above. Interestingly, the benefit of playing more golf and enhanced vacation trips was cited by both our local and Stay and Play golfers.
For existing couples the benefits of golf together can be a shared love of both the person and the sport. It can be a perfect parlay. For Singles looking for compatible love, golf can provide a new approach. With so much of the true person revealed on the golf course, they might best ignore eHarmony or Match.com and sign up for a tee time at the nearest Hamilton County course instead.

The Kingdom of New York
by The New York ObserverFor the last two decades, The New York Observer has documented the Platinum Age of New York, when the city's new elite rose and dominated society, media, business, and culture with an amusing arrogance that redefined the power capital of the world. The Kingdom of New York jauntily chronicles the Rise and Fall and Rise of New York City, as personified by the protagonists and antagonists of the past twenty years, told in archival pastiche--a breathtaking sprint of headlines, great reporting, witty writing, and stories in fashion, ideas, real estate, style, media, movies, politics, sex, and finance. All of New York's major players are here--including Bill and Hillary, Rudy Giuliani, Michael Bloomberg, Graydon Carter, Katie Couric, Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer, Tina Fey, J. Lo, Seinfeld, Tina Brown, Anderson Cooper--as well as essays by Cynthia Ozick, Gay Talese, Woody Allen, and Martin Scorsese. Here, too, are many of the country's finest journalists reporting on the high opulence of the 1990s; the wry irony of the Seinfeld years; the poignant loss of John Kennedy Jr.; and the inconceivable assault of September 11, 2001, and New York's rallying return. Among it all are signature features--from Candace Bushnell's "Sex and the City" columns as they initially appeared to the couples counseling of "George and Hilly"--as the Observer grew into one of the city's most influential papers. Handsomely designed and filled with the paper's trademark attention to politics, status, and wealth, this is a rollicking insider's account of contemporary New York. At once wickedly funny and astute, The Kingdom of New York is a striking tribute to an unforgettable era in the city's history.

Kingdom of the Seven
by Jon LandDr. Karen Raymond has made the medical breakthrough of the century, a vaccine that could halt the spread of our most devastating modern plague, AIDS. But when her laboratory is destroyed and her colleagues murdered, she realizes she's in danger: a conspiracy of proportions she never dreamed possible is out to crush her work. In another part of the country the population of an entire town has disappeared into thin air, leaving behind only half-finished meals, empty offices and schools. Who is responsible? A cabal of power-seeking corporations? Rogue victims of Army medical experiments gone horribly wrong? Who is behind the traitorous plot that threatens to sacrifice our country to the...
Kingdom of the Sun
by Jacqueline MittonChildren take a wondrous tour of our solar system in this stunning new book that weaves mythology and astronomy in magical ways. Jacqueline Mitton's poetic text explores each planet, comparing its features to those of the Roman god or goddess for whom it was named. Although this naming occurred long before humans had accurate information about the planets, the book points out some remarkable coincidences based on what we know today. The veiled goddess Venus, for example, lends her name to a cloud-veiled planet. And the blue, stormy planet Neptune is named for the god of the sea. This intriguing and highly informative book--a sequel to the same team's best-selling Zoo in the Sky--presents the most up-to-date, scientific details about the planets in an artful way that will stir the minds and imaginations of young readers.
Kingdom River (Snowfall Trilogy 2)
by Mitchell Smithsecond book of the Snowfall Trilogy. Tor's summary follows: Several hundred years after a change in the orbit of Jupiter sent the Earth into a new Ice Age, remnants of civilization battle over territory and technology. Kingdom River Sam Monroe is the reluctant commander of a tough-minded warrior people living in what was once northern Mexico. His tiny country is flanked on the northeast by the Middle Kingdom, a vast, trade-driven nation that replaced the southern United States, and on the northwest by the Khanate, an empire of nomads who swept down the West Coast after crossing the ice from what was once Russia. Sam's people cling to a precarious, hard-won freedom. Toghrul Khan, leader of the Khanate, wants the Kingdom's lucrative trade and lush farmlands. To get them, Sam Monroe knows, the Khan's forces will march right over his people's small towns and precious homesteads. His country's only hope is an alliance with the Kingdom-but the far larger Kingdom may simply swallow them up. Unless ...
A Kingdom Strange
by James HornIn 1587, John White and 117 men, women, and children landed off the coast of North Carolina on Roanoke Island, hoping to carve a colony from fearsome wilderness. A mere month later, facing quickly diminishing supplies and a fierce native population, White sailed back to England in desperation. He persuaded the wealthy Sir Walter Raleigh, the expedition's sponsor, to rescue the imperiled colonists, but by the time White returned with aid the colonists of Roanoke were nowhere to be found. He never saw his friends or family again. In this gripping account based on new archival material, colonial historian James Horn tells for the first time the complete story of what happened to the Roanoke colonists and their descendants. A compellingly original examination of one of the great unsolved mysteries of American history, A Kingdom Strange will be essential reading for anyone interested in our national origins.
Kingdom to Commune: Protestant Pacifist Culture between World War I and the Vietnam Era
by Patricia AppelbaumAmerican religious pacifism is usually explained in terms of its practitioners' ethical and philosophical commitments. Patricia Appelbaum argues that Protestant pacifism, which constituted the religious center of the large-scale peace movement in the United States after World War I, is best understood as a culture that developed dynamically in the broader context of American religious, historical, and social currents. Exploring piety, practice, and material religion, Appelbaum describes a surprisingly complex culture of Protestant pacifism expressed through social networks, iconography, vernacular theology, individual spiritual practice, storytelling, identity rituals, and cooperative living. Between World War I and the Vietnam War, she contends, a paradigm shift took place in the Protestant pacifist movement. Pacifism moved from a mainstream position to a sectarian and marginal one, from an embrace of modernity to skepticism about it, and from a Christian center to a purely pacifist one, with an informal, flexible theology. The book begins and ends with biographical profiles of two very different pacifists, Harold Gray and Marjorie Swann. Their stories distill the changing religious culture of American pacifism revealed inKingdom to Commune.

In 1937, as Japan went to war in Manchuria and its relations with the United States deteriorated, Caulfield relocated to Thailand, where she established that nation's first school for blind children. Along the way Caulfield made innumerable friends, adopted a Japanese daughter, and raised her twin grandchildren after her daughter's tragic death. Life in Thailand during World War II is vividly portrayed in this memoir. This is a straightforward account by a woman of enormous determination and ability.
The Kingdom Within
by John A. SanfordBy showing how Jesus' teachings relate to our inner depths, this book guides us toward a more conscious and creative life. The Kingdom Within explores the significance of Jesus' teachings for our interior life -- that inner reality that Jesus called "the kingdom of God." It is Sanford's conviction that contemporary Christianity has overlooked this inner dimension of Jesus' teachings and so has lost touch with the human soul.Illustrated with case histories and dream material drawn from the author's work as a psychotherapist, The Kingdom Within examines such characteristics as extroversion and introversion, masculinity and femininity, thinking and feeling, and sensation and intuition to show how Jesus met the criteria of wholeness or fullness of personhood. Step by step, Sanford helps us to shed the outer mask, to eschew sin, which "means living in enslavement to what we don't know about ourselves," and to follow the road of consciousness, which leads to "a great treasure waiting only to be discovered."

by Richard WhiteFrom the moment he took office as governor in 1928 to the day an assassin's bullet cut him down in 1935, Huey Long wielded all but dictatorial control over the state of Louisiana. A man of shameless ambition and ruthless vindictiveness, Long orchestrated elections, hired and fired thousands at will, and deployed the state militia as his personal police force. And yet, paradoxically, as governor and later as senator, Long did more good for the state's poor and uneducated than any politician before or since. Outrageous demagogue or charismatic visionary? In this powerful new biography, Richard D. White, Jr., brings Huey Long to life in all his blazing, controversial glory. White taps invaluable new source material to present a fresh, vivid portrait of both the man and the Depression era that catapulted him to fame. From his boyhood in dirt-poor Winn Parish, Long knew he was destined for power-the problem was how to get it fast enough to satisfy his insatiable appetite. With cunning and crudity unheard of in Louisiana politics, Long crushed his opponents in the 1928 gubernatorial race, then immediately set about tightening his iron grip. The press attacked him viciously, the oil companies howled for his blood after he pushed through a controversial oil processing tax, but Long had the adulation of the people. In 1930, the Kingfish got himself elected senator, and then there was no stopping him.White's account of Long's heyday unfolds with the mesmerizing intensity of a movie. Pegged by President Roosevelt as "one of the two most dangerous men in the country," Long organized a radical movement to redistribute money through his Share Our Wealth Society-and his gospel of pensions for all, a shorter workweek, and free college spread like wildfire. The Louisiana poor already worshiped him for building thousands of miles of roads and funding schools, hospitals, and universities; his outrageous antics on the Senate floor gained him a growing national base. By 1935, despite a barrage of corruption investigations, Huey Long announced that he was running for president.In the end, Long was a tragic hero-a power addict who squandered his genius and came close to destroying the very foundation of democratic rule. Kingfish is a balanced, lucid, and absolutely spellbinding portrait of the life and times of the most incendiary figure in the history of American politics.From the Hardcover edition.

Eon Decking
Two years ago we made significant changes to our home. One of the items needed was a verandah and walkway to the back of the house. I saw the Eon ad in one of the many magazines I was reading to find products and really liked the looks of the product. We purchased Eon and the last good thing I can say about it is the ads are attractive. This morning I slipped and fell as this product is slippery without the slightest provocation. I would never recommend this product as it is difficult to feel safe except when the temperature is hot during the summer. The contractor who installed the product did not like it as it was difficult to install, difficult to cut and after it is installed it "walks". We now have large gaps because the clips do not keep it tight which requires the need to constantly hammer the gaps closed.
I am always very careful when walking on this product and today's fall caused me to find a site in which I can express my opinion. Not only is this product expensive it is dangerous. My recommendation is take it off the market. Needless to say, I am not sure what I am going to do as it was recently installed but I do not look forward to slipping around and certainly do not want a guest to have an accident. Hope this helps someone else make a choice about using this product. |

Women's Tennis Wins Sixth Straight with Shutout of UIC
GRIFFITH, Ind. – The University of Akron women's tennis team notched its second victory in as many days and extended its win streak to six matches with a 7-0 defeat of Illinois-Chicago on Wednesday afternoon at Match Point Tennis Club.
UIC (9-4) was unable to fully fill out its side of the lineup card, and was forced to give up No. 3 doubles and No. 6 singles by default. In doubles, Akron (13-6) claimed hard-fought decisions at Nos. 1 and 2 to take a one-point advantage into singles where it swept all five positions.
"Doubles was once again a struggle, but I am very pleased with our singles effort today," third-year Akron head coach Brandon Padgett said. "We played a depleted UIC team that fought extremely hard, but we managed to perform at a high level throughout."
The Zips duo of Angelina Jogasuria and Olga Shkundina defeated Kathryn Sharples and Jana Knoppe 9-8 (7) at No. 1, while Prang Pantusart and Angelika Jogasuria bested Natalia Kuvakina at Ann-Sophie Hahn 9-7 at No. 2.
Akron, which won 6-1 at Wisconsin-Milwaukee on Tuesday, went on to take Nos. 1-3 singles in straight sets, with Shkundina topping Kuvakina 6-1, 6-2 at No. 1, Angelina Jogasuria downing Sharples 6-0, 6-3 at No. 2, and Pantusart getting the better of Knoppe at No. 3, 6-3, 6-2.
Nos. 4 and 5 singles each was decided by a third-set tiebreaker. At No. 4, Angelika Jogasuria won 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 (7) over Keti Mebuke, and Ksenia Berestetska edged Hahn 3-6, 6-0, 1-0 (3) at No. 5.
The Zips take tomorrow off from competition, but stay on the road and resume Mid-American Conference play at Ball State on Friday and Miami (Ohio) on Saturday. Both contests are scheduled to get underway at 1 p.m. ET.
Zips Notebook:
The victory was the Zips' third shutout of the season ... Olga Shkundina played at No. 1 singles for the second-straight day and ran her win streak in singles to six matches ... the Zips avenged a 4-3 loss at UIC last season (April 22, 2012) ... along with its six-match win streak, UA has won 12 of its last 13 contests ... UIC was the fifth member of the Horizon League that Akron defeated this season (Cleveland State, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State, Youngstown State).

Wisconsin-Milwaukee (9-5) won three games in two sets and four in another, but were held to one or two games in the nine remaining sets. Andrea Duva won a third-set tiebreaker at No. 6 to close out the day. She topped Maria Zompolas 3-6, 6-1, 1-0 (4).
Akron continues its Spring Break road trip with a match against Illinois-Chicago on Wednesday at Match Point Tennis Club in Griffith, Ind. The Zips resume Mid-American Conference play at Ball State on Friday and at Miami (Ohio) on Saturday.

Bowling Green:
BGSU Wins at Northern Illinois; Falcons improve to 13-2 on the season
The Bowling Green State University tennis team, coming off a loss for the first time in over two months, responded with a conference win on the road. The Falcons defeated Northern Illinois University, 5-2, on Friday afternoon (March 29) in Mid-American Conference match at the Huskie Tennis Courts.
With the win, the Falcons improve to 13-2 overall and 2-1 in the MAC. BGSU had won a school-record 12 consecutive matches before seeing that streak snapped last weekend vs. Eastern Michigan. Northern Illinois dropped to 14-5 overall and 0-3 in MAC action.
For the 14th consecutive match, the Falcons won the doubles point. And, for the third time in as many MAC matches, head coach Penny Dean's four seniors combined for a pair of doubles victories. BG's duos of Maddy Eccleston and Katie Grubb at the second flight and Mary Hill and Jade Johnson at the third level posted wins, with the Eccleston/Grubb team topping NIU's Haley Dekkinga and Arantza De La Torre by an 8-2 count, and the Hill/Johnson tandem dropping only three games in a win over Stephanie McDonald and Cristina Alvarez.
NIU's lone doubles win came at the top flight, where Nelle Youel and Mary Malkin defeated BGSU juniors Nikki Chiricosta and Emily Reuland by an 8-3 final.
In singles play, however, the Falcons picked up wins in the first four matches to finish, building an insurmountable 5-0 lead before the Huskies salvaged a pair of points.
Eccleston made quick work of Malkin at the third flight, dropping only two total matches -- one in each set -- en route to BG's first singles win of the day. Then, freshman Katie Brozovich wrapped up a straight-sets win over De La Torre at the fourth flight. Brozovich won her two sets by identical 6-3 scores.
Brozovich's win extended her streak to 14 consecutive singles victories. She has not lost a singles match since Jan. 18 at nationally-ranked Notre Dame. Overall, the freshman has 20-straight matches (both singles and doubles) since that singles setback.
Chiricosta clinched the match victory for the Falcons with a straight-sets win over Dekkinga. The BG junior captured a close opening set by a 7-5 result, then closed out the win with a 6-2 second-set win at the second flight.
Hill was a winner over McDonald at the sixth flight. Like Chiricosta, Hill won a narrow first set before leaving no doubt about the second set's outcome. The BG co-captain reeled off wins in six consecutive games to capture that final set. Hill has won two of her last three singles matches, coinciding with the beginning of MAC play.
Both of NIU's wins required three sets, as Youel outlasted Reuland at the top flight and Alvarez got past Grubb at the fifth.
The Falcons return to action next weekend, returing to the road as well. BGSU continues a three-match road swing by taking on Akron on Friday (April 5) and Buffalo Saturday (April 6). The Falcons' next home match will be against Ball State on Friday, April 12.

Tennis Falls to Toledo in First Match at Wasik Complex
Eagles went 0-4 in tiebreakers in the 4-3 setback to the Rockets
YPSILANTI, Mich. -- The Eastern Michigan University women's tennis team's team hoped to christen its new courts at the Claudia Wasik Tennis Complex with a victory over the University of Toledo Saturday afternoon, March 30, but the Rockets made sure that did not happen. Toledo was 4-0 in set tie-breaks en route to a 4-3 victory.
Eastern Michigan dropped to 6-11 overall and 1-2 league action, while Toledo evened it record at 8-8 and 1-2 in the MAC.
"This was a tough loss," said Head Coach Ryan Ray. "Going 0-4 in set tiebreaks does not finish the job. Toledo was better than us today in the end. We will recover from this, get ready to work next week, and go on the road to play stronger next weekend."
Dedicated back in October 2012, the Wasik Tennis Complex is named after Claudia Wasik who enjoyed a long and illustrious career at EMU, as a student, professor, coach and mentor during her 32-year professional affiliation with the University. Wasik coached the EMU women's tennis team from 1979-80 through 1990-91 and recorded a 162-108 overall dual-meet record. She was named Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year in 1986-87 when she led the then-Hurons to a second-place finish and was also named league Coach of the Year in 1983-84.
Eastern Michigan returns to the road Friday, April 5, for a match at Ball State University followed by a Saturday, April 6, tilt at Miami University. First serve for both matches is scheduled for 1 p.m.

Tennis Tops Akron 6-1 for Weekend Sweep
OXFORD, Ohio -- Miami avenged its 2012 MAC Championship finals loss to Akron on Saturday, taking five of six singles matches and the doubles point for a 6-1 victory at the Hepburn Courts. Combined with yesterday's triumph over Buffalo, the RedHawks have now won back-to-back matches for the first time this season.
In the teams' first meeting since Akron's epic 4-3 decision over Miami last April, the Zips started strong. They won the first five games at No. 1 doubles and cruised to an 8-1 victory. However, Miami (6-12, 2-1) had a similarly easy decision at No. 2. Alix Thurman and Nimisha Mohan broke a 1-1 tie by taking in six straight games en route to an 8-2 victory. That left the point to the No. 3 pairing, where Christiana Raymond and Ramona Costea opened with a 3-0 lead. But Akron struck back, evening the match at 3-3. The momentum turned, though, as the RedHawk duo won four straight, then answered an Akron game by closing out the match 8-4.
Mohan started out singles play on fire, winning seven straight games for a 6-0, 1-0 lead. Her opponent clawed back to take a 4-3 edge in the second, but Miami's No. 1 was not to be denied. She held serve and broke for 5-4, then gave Miami a 2-0 lead with the 6-4 win.
Christine Guerrazzi added to the scoring with a 6-2, 6-2 victory at No. 4, bolting to 4-1 advantages in both sets. Costea sealed the victory with a 6-4, 6-2 decision at No. 6, her fourth straight win.
The final three matches all went three sets and were decided by super-tiebreakers. Thurman grabbed a 6-2 win in the first set at No. 2, then after falling 4-6 in the second, posted a 1-0 (10-5) victory. No. 3 Raymond went the opposite route, falling 6-2 in the first before rebounding for 6-3 and 1-0 (10-8) wins.
Akron, which fell to 14-7 (2-1) by having its seven-game winning streak snapped, gained its only point in the final match. Ksenia Berestetska fought off Ana Rajkovic's rally at No. 5, 6-2, 6-7 (7-9), 1-0 (10-5).
Miami closes out its 2013 home schedule next weekend when Eastern Michigan and Toledo visit Oxford. The matches start at 1 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Tennis Rebounds for 6-1 Win over Buffalo
OXFORD, Ohio -- Miami rebounded from its first regular-season conference loss in 34 matches last weekend with a resounding 6-1 victory over Buffalo Friday afternoon at the Hepburn Courts. The outcome snapped a six-match losing streak for the RedHawks (5-12, 1-1), while the Bulls suffered their first defeat in 11 dual matches this year.
Playing outdoors for the first time at home this season -- and only third time overall -- Miami claimed the doubles point by sweeping the Bulls. Nimisha Mohan and Alix Thurman rolled to an 8-1 victory at No. 2, before Christine Guerrazzi and Ana Rajkovic won five of the last six games in an 8-4 decision at No. 1. The RedHawks' No. 3 team of Ramona Costea and Christiana Raymond rallied from a 4-3 deficit to win 8-6.
The Bulls (10-1, 1-1) were forced to juggle their singles lineup when their No. 1 player, Tanvi Shah, had an issue with her back during doubles play. Miami took advantage of the change, taking five of the six single matches. Raymond dropped just one game in a 6-1, 6-0 victory at No. 3 and Costea earned a 6-2, 6-1 decision at No. 6.
Thurman clinched the team victory with a 6-2, 6-2 decision at No. 2, while Mohan fell behind 4-1 in the first set before rallying 6-4, 6-2. Guerrazzi posted the RedHawks' other win at No. 4, taking her first set 6-2, then needing to come from behind in the second 7-6 (8-6).
Buffalo earned its only point at No. 5, edging out Rajkovic 6-4, 7-5.
Northern Illinois:
Women's Tennis Drops 6-1 Decision to Western Michigan
NIU's Nelle Youel Continues Winning Ways
DeKALB, Ill. - Northern Illinois' No. 1 player Nelle Youel (Crystal Lake, Ill./Crystal Lake Central HS) improved her singles record to 18-2 on the season to record the Huskies' lone victory in a 6-1 loss to Western Michigan Saturday at the Huskie Tennis Courts in DeKalb.
Youel and the Broncos' Nina Sujashvili split the first two sets, with Youel taking the first set 6-3 before Sujashvili evened the match with a 6-4 win in the second set. Youel outlasted the WMU player in the super tie-breaker, 10-7 to claim her second win of the weekend.
The Huskies played tough in every match on the day. NIU's Stephanie McDonald fell 13-11 in the third set super tie-breaker to drop her match at No. 6 singles, while Arantza De La Torre narrowly missed sending her match at No. 4 singles to a third set, falling 7-6 in the second set.
Northern Illinois also played tough in doubles in the team's second match with its current doubles line-up. The new No. 1 and No. 2 duos both dropped 8-4 decisions as NIU lost the doubles point.
NIU Head Coach Ryun Ferrell was encouraged by what he saw from the Huskies Saturday.
"We played the best we have played so far this conference season," Ferrell said. "We had so many chances, it gives me confidence that sooner or later we will bust through. We will continue to work and train hard and the fight will continue to get easier for us."
Northern Illinois is now 14-6 overall, 0-4 in the Mid-American Conference, while Western Michigan improved to 10-9, 3-0. NIU will take next weekend off before opening the second half of the MAC regular season Friday, April 12 at Toledo.

NIU's Youel and Alvarez Earn Singles Wins

Northern Illinois fell to 14-5 overall and 0-3 versus the MAC with the loss, while Bowling Green improved to 13-2, 2-1 in the league.

The Huskies also got a win at No. 1 doubles as the duo of Youel and Mary Malkin defeated BG's Nikki Chiricosta and Emily Reuland, 8-3. Bowling Green claimed the doubles point as they won at No. 2 and No. 3 doubles.
Northern Illinois Head Coach Ryun Ferrell said with a line-up featuring a freshman, four sophomores and one junior, his young team is learning what it takes to win in the Mid-American Conference.
"We took a big step forward [Friday]," Ferrell said. "Although we lost, we really started figuring out what it will take to compete and win in this league. [Saturday] is a new day and we can't wait to take those lessons and apply them in our next match."
The Huskies take on Western Michigan (9-9, 2-0 MAC) beginning at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Huskie Tennis Courts, weather permitting. In case of cold temperatures or windy conditions, matches will be moved to the Boylan Tennis Center in Rockford, Ill. (4000 St. Francis Drive).

Rockets Win First League Match 4-3 Over Eagles in Marathon
YPSILANTI, MI - The Toledo women's tennis team recorded its first win in Mid-American Conference play this season by defeating the Eagles of Eastern Michigan 4-3 on Saturday afternoon. The first meeting between the two schools this spring was tightly contested and turned into a marathon, lasting four hours and forty-five minutes at the Claudia Wasik Tennis Complex. With the win, UT improves to 7-9 overall and 1-2 in conference play.
"We had such a great team effort today," UT head coach Tracy Mauntler said. "The doubles point was key, but I was so proud of the battle in singles."
The Midnight Blue & Gold gained the early advantage by claiming the team point in doubles competition. Freshman Mackenzie Bowman and sophomore Pia Rygh teamed up for an 8-6 triumph at No. 2 doubles, while freshman Katelyn Nguyen and senior Silvia Carvajal took the third doubles match by the same score.
The teams were evenly matched during singles play, as each squad recorded three points.
Nguyen stepped up in the top flight and notched her first career MAC victory in straight sets, 6-4, 6-1.
"This was a huge win for Katelyn," Maunter said. "Her improvement since the beginning of the season has been steady and she really deserved a big singles win."
Eastern Michigan answered with back-to-back points at No. 2 and No. 4 singles to even the score, and looked as if it would take the lead after gaining match point on UT freshman Emily Mazzola in the fifth position. Mazzola fought back in the third-set tiebreaker and ended up on top for a momentum-shifter, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6.
The Eagles came right back with a three-set win over Carvajal at No. 6 singles, leading to a battle at No. 3 between junior Chrissy Coffman and EMU's Ankita Bhatia for the match decision. Bhatia took the first set 3-6, but Coffman broke through with a pair of tiebreakers in the next two for the match clincher.
Mauntler on Coffman's performance: "Chrissy is definitely someone who you want on the court when the pressure is on. She played really aggressive and that helped her come out on top."
UT continues league play when it travels to Ball State on Friday, April 5 in Muncie, IN and Miami (OH) on Saturday, April 6 in Oxford, OH. Both matches will begin at 1:00 p.m.
Western Michigan:

The Broncos' 3-0 record in MAC play represents the first time since the 2009 season the team has won as many as three matches to open the conference season; that year the Broncos went 4-0 to open the conference slate. That team reached the finals of the conference tournament.
Western Michigan opened the match with a sweep in doubles play, earning wins at all three positions. Kathleen Hawkins and Caroline Aleck earned their team-leading eighth win as a doubles pairing of the season, beating Nelle Youel and Mary Malkin 8-4 in the No. 1 doubles match. Maggie Remynse and Nini Sujashvili won their third straight doubles match as a duo, beating Haley Dekkinga and Arantza De La Torre 8-4 in the No. 2 doubles match, and Jill Pastunink and Kelsey King completed the sweep with an 8-5 win over Stephanie McDonald and Cristina Alvarez.
