Many changes greet visitors to Heterick Library, especially the first floor which now has colorful seating in many configurations---open seating for individuals or groups, cubicles for small groups, and, yes, there still is a circulation desk.

Libraries have renovated to meet the modern times. No longer are there stack and stacks of books facing you when you enter the building since so much information can be accessed digitally.

No. 18-ranked Ohio Northern opened its 2016 season with a tough 34-30 loss at Utica (N.Y.) on Saturday afternoon at Gaetano Stadium.

The Polar Bears (0-1 overall) were in control for most of the afternoon and led 30-13 with seven minutes left in the game.

But the Pioneers (2-0) scored 21 points in the final 6:35, including an 8-yard TD pass with 15 seconds to play, to post the improbable win.

Northern had one final chance as sophomore Will Freed completed a 35-yard pass to junior Chad Rex to put the ball at the 25-yard line with three seconds left.
