According to society's standards, streaking is considered an indecent act.
Any instance that involves a naked person running through an event (which many people are attending) is generally frowned upon.
However, in certain cases, streaking can be a positive endeavor.
Something that tickles my fancy is Will Ferrell in "Old School," running through the quad and into the gymnasium in the buff. Don't forget to bring your green hat.
The Otterbein women's basketball team has their green hat on right now.
The team is streaking with four consecutive victories and five wins in its last six outings on the hardwood.
My apologies for not putting the spotlight over Laura Roth sooner.
With that aside, it's important to note that the junior from Cincinnati has reached the 1,000 career point plateau, and is threatening to become Otterbein women's all-time leading scorer next year.
With four games remaining, Roth and the OC ladies find themselves in a prime position to gain a top-four finish in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC), as well as host their first-round game in the conference tournament.
Crucial games with Baldwin-Wallace (B-W), Capital and Wilmington will determine the seeding-fate of the Otterbein Cards.
B-W, Capital and Wilmington all hold three of the top four seeds in the OAC as we speak.
Capital and Wilmington are both at home; wins there would place Otterbein in the top four in the conference, giving them that home-court advantage in round one.
After a huge win over the third-place Ohio Northern Polar Bears, coach Connie Richardson's Cards put themselves in the driver seat of their own fate.
The name of the game is pretty simple with this team: don't turn the ball over, and win games.
Games like last week's--which saw Otterbein turn it over 18 and 19 times--won't get it done.
Though the contest ended with the Cardinals on the victorious side, hovering around the 20 turnover mark in a single game will send the ladies packing early and into the off-season.
Consistency needs to be maintained as well.
During this four-game stretch, at least four Cardinals have scored in double figures.
If that offensive balance continues and the defense steadily improves, this team can win the whole darn thing.
We can only hope that the Otterbein ladies continue to wear their green hat and go streaking into the post-season.
