Senior J.J. Fortner (Maumee/Anthony Wayne) scored two first half goals to help lift the Ohio Northern men's soccer team to a 4-0 shutout victory over No. 8-ranked Heidelberg on Wednesday in Ada.
The Polar Bears improve to 9-4-1 overall, and 2-2-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference and handed Heidelberg its first loss of the season to drop the Student Princes to 9-1-1, 2-1-1.
ONU music and theatre arts students will present "Carrie the Musical" at the Freed Center from Oct. 19-22.
The show is adapted from Stephen King's horror novel "Carrie" but has gone through many rewrites from the time the musical was originally produced in England to a limited 1988 Broadway production to an 0ff Broadway revival.
Briefly, here's the story: Carrie White is a misfit - awkward, unattractive, heavy. At school, she’s an outcast who’s bullied by the popular crowd and virtually invisible to everyone else.

How do you keep 70 people in rapt attention for two hours when discussing suicide?
How do you add genuine humor to a talk about suicide?
You speak from the heart, relaying your personal experience of surviving a suicide attempt.
And, you give the talk over and over and over, hoping to save the lives of those who might attempt suicide and save the heart-wrenching grief that comes to family and friends when death from suicide occurs.
