The Lincoln Trio receives applause after their performance Tuesday night in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The group received a standing ovation for their performance.
Lincoln Trio performs at Doudna Fine Arts Center By Mercury Bowen Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News Music wafted over a silent crowd as The Lincoln Trio performed Tuesday night at the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The group opened the performance with an original work called “Silver Dagger” composed specifically for the show by Stacy Garrop. Among the other pieces performed was “Four Seasons” by Astor
Piazzolla, as well as works by Joaquín Turina. Samuel Augustin, a junior music performance major, said “Four Seasons” was his favorite part of the show. “It was fantastic,” Augustin said. “It was amazing.” This was also not the first time Augustin had seen the group perform. “Back in 2013 I was at a big performance at Ravinia,” Augustin said. “I was in a group called Chicago Churches Choir, and we performed with them.”
Marta Aznavoorian, pianist for the trio, said her favorite part of the show was performing the Turina pieces. “It felt good to come back to that piece,” Aznavoorian said. “We haven’t played it in a long time, and it felt like coming back to an old friend.” Ending the concert was the trio’s performance of “En Conversaciones,” composed specifically for The Lincoln Trio by Juan Antonio Cuéllar.

CAA to discuss transfer credit hour requirements By Brooke Schwartz News Editor | @DEN_News The Council on Academic Affairs will be meeting Thursday at 2 p.m. in room 4440 of Booth Library. The CAA has two action items, including a new minor and the reduction of certain credit requirements for transfer students, and three discussion items, one of which is the Passport to Diversity initiative discussed last year. A proposal was made to the council to discuss the possibility of removing the 42-senior-institution-hour requirements for transfer students. The proposal, submitted by Mark Kattenbraker, the interim associate vice president for academic affairs, stated, “EIU
has a standard residency requirement of 42 hours with exceptions for Organizational Development, RN to BSN in Nursing, the General Studies programs and for cooperative degrees. Yet, EIU has an additional degree requirement of 42 senior institution hours (hours earned at a four-year institution).” The proposal stated that those 42 hours matches the residency requirements for all but the programs with exceptions. “I believe EIU should eliminate the senior institution requirement and rely on our residency and upper division hour requirements to assure that our students have a true baccalaureate experience,” the proposal said. A new minor in computer sciences will also be brought before the council, which, according the proposal, is meant to “provide the deepest study and broadest overview computer
science topics that limited course work allows.” The Passport to Diversity initiative, which was brought to campus last year through Making Excellence Inclusive, is a way to offer an official recognition of diversity, as seen through a student’s coursework, essays and attended conferences and workshops. The council will be looking over proposed Passport to Diversity courses for the 2018-2019 school year. Also on the agenda, the council will discuss updates to the Faculty Senate shared governance resolution as well as the general education committee.

RSOs host events, fundraisers for Latino Heritage Month By Coraima Vazquez Contributing Writer | @DEN_News Several registered student organizations and academic departments are bringing National Latino Heritage Month to campus by hosting various events and fundraisers until Oct. 9. The Latin American Student Organization, Esperanza, Alpha Psi Lambda (Latino co-ed fraternity), Latin American Studies, Newman Catholic Center, Sigma Delta Pi (Spanish Honors Society) and other departments are all sponsoring the events and fundraisers on campus. This year’s theme is “Sueño Sigue,” which translates to “the dream lives on.”
"Latino Heritage Month means inclusivity, it means celebration, it means diversity and recognition." -Lina Lopez, treasurer of Esperanza Lina Lopez, a junior business major and treasurer of Esperanza, said this month means the Latino community is active and celebrating the culture. She said it is important to stay active and involved on campus so that students feel included and celebrated. “It shows that EIU cares about our culture,” Lopez said.
Lopez said Hispanics account for a small percentage of students on campus, and to her organization (Esperanza) this means that keeping traditions alive during the month (by hosting events) is a way to grow as a community.

Cosby sentenced 3 to 10 years in prison for sexual assault
Woman says ex pressed for baby, didn't know her plan to kill
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — At an age when other Hollywood stars are settling into retirement and collecting lifetime-achievement awards, an 81-year-old Bill Cosby was led away to prison in handcuffs Tuesday, sentenced to three to 10 years behind bars in what was seen by many of his accusers as a reckoning richly deserved and long overdue. The comedian, TV star and breaker of racial barriers became the first celebrity of the #MeToo era to be sent to prison. He was found guilty in April of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his gated estate in 2004 after being barraged with similar accusations from more than 60 women over the past five decades. "It is time for justice. Mr. Cosby, this has all circled back to you. The time has come," Montgomery County Judge Steven O'Neill said. He quoted from victim Andrea Constand's statement to the court, in which she said Cosby took her "beautiful, young spirit and crushed it." Cosby declined the opportunity to speak before the sentence came down, and afterward sat laughing and chatting with his defense team. His wife of 54 years, Camille, was not in court. Constand smiled broadly on hearing the punishment and was hugged by others in the courtroom. In a blistering statement, Cosby spokesman Andrew Wyatt said the comic was subjected to the "most racist and sexist trial in the history of the United States." Wyatt said all three of the psychologists who testified against Cosby were "white women who make money off of accusing black men of being sexual predators." Cosby's lawyers asked that he be allowed to remain free on bail while he appeals his conviction, but the judge appeared incredulous over the request and ordered him locked up immediately, saying that "he could quite possibly be a danger to the community." The comedian — who is legally blind and uses a cane — removed
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota woman convicted of killing her pregnant neighbor by cutting the baby from her womb testified Tuesday that her boyfriend had pressured her to "produce a baby" after figuring out she had lied about being pregnant. Brooke Crews told the court that she had concocted a phony pregnancy to keep from losing William Hoehn, who is on trial for conspiracy in the August 2017 death of 22-year-old Savanna Greywind. Hoehn has admitted helping to cover up the crime but says he didn't know that Crews had planned to kill Greywind and take her baby. Crews testified that she never "explicitly" told Hoehn that was her plan. Crews said Hoehn appeared surprised when he entered the bathroom in their apartment and discovered she had cut Greywind's baby from her body. Crews said Hoehn then retrieved a rope and tightened it around Greywind's neck, saying: "If she wasn't dead before, she is now." Greywind's daughter survived and is being raised by family.
his watch, tie and jacket and walked out in a white dress shirt and red suspenders, his hands cuffed in front of him. He appeared downcast, his eyes failing to meet the camera, in a mug shot released by authorities. Cosby must serve the minimum of three years before becoming eligible for parole. "For decades, the defendant has been able to hide his true self and hide his crimes using his fame and fortune. He's hidden behind a character he created, Dr. Cliff Huxtable," Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said at a news conference, referring to Cosby's bestknown role. But "now, finally, Bill Cosby has been unmasked, and we have seen the real man as he is headed off to prison." Constand stood at Steele's side but shook her head to say she had no comment. Former model Janice Dickinson, who accused Cosby of violating her, looked at him in the courtroom and said: "Here's the last laugh, pal." Another accuser in the courtroom, Lili Bernard, said: "There is solace, absolutely. It is his fame and his fortune and his phony philanthropy that has allowed him to get away with impunity. Maybe this will send a message to other powerful perpetrators that they will be caught and punished." Cosby's punishment, which also included a $25,000 fine, came at the end of a two-day hearing at which the judge declared him a "sexually violent predator" — a modernday scarlet letter that subjects him to monthly counseling for the rest of his life and requires that neighbors and schools be notified of his whereabouts. A psychologist for the state testified that Cosby appears to have a mental disorder characterized by an uncontrollable urge to have sex with women without their consent. The comic once known as America's Dad for his role on the top-rated "Cosby Show" in the 1980s was convicted in April of violating Con-
stand, Temple University women's basketball administrator, at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004. It was the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era. Constand testified that Cosby gave her what she thought were herbal pills to ease stress, then penetrated her with his fingers as she lay immobilized on a couch. Cosby claimed the encounter was consensual, and his lawyers branded her a "con artist" who framed the comedian to get a big payday — a $3.4 million settlement she received over a decade ago. Five other accusers took the stand at the trial as part of an effort by prosecutors to portray him as a predator. Cosby faced anywhere from probation to 10 years in prison. His lawyers asked for house arrest, saying he is too old and vulnerable to go to prison. Prosecutors asked for five to 10 years behind bars, warning that he could still pose a threat to women. The sentencing came as another extraordinary #MeToo drama unfolded on Capitol Hill, where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh stands accused of sexual misconduct more than three decades ago. Women's advocates hailed Cosby's sentence as a landmark #MeToo moment. Sonia Ossorio, president of the National Organization for Women of New York, credited Cosby's accusers with helping pave the way for #MeToo. "Bill Cosby seeing the inside of a prison cell sends a strong message that predators — no matter who they are, from Hollywood to Wall Street to the Supreme Court — can no longer be protected at the expense of victims," she said. Steele said Cosby could be sent to Laurel Highlands , a state prison for lower-risk inmates on the other side of the state, about 70 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. It serves inmates with special needs and has separate housing units for geriatric prisoners and programs for sex offenders.
Ex-Rep. Dingell is out of the hospital after heart attack DETROIT (AP) — Former longtime Rep. John Dingell is out of a Detroit-area hospital eight days after suffering a heart attack. The 92-year-old former congressman was released Tuesday. His wife, Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell, said he had been released in a statement that also confirmed he had suffered a mild heart attack on Sept. 17. She said wins over the weekend by both the University of Michigan football team and the Detroit Lions "greatly contributed to his healing." John Dingell is the longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history. The Democrat was in office for nearly 60 years. He didn't run for re-election in 2014 and was succeeded by his wife.

What students have to say about Tuesday’s weather By Corryn Brock Staff Reporter | @corryn_brock Early Tuesday morning it began raining in Charleston, leaving Eastern’s campus with standing water and several students wet from the downpour for a part of the day. This is not the first time students at Eastern have dealt with the effects of heavy rainfall, leading several of them to have their own tips and “hacks” to stay dry and avoid the bad weather. One important thing students can do is prepare themselves before the rain or any severe weather is check reliable sources for weather forecasts, according to WEIU Newswatch’s Sky Watch Local Forecaster, Everett Lau. “Keep an eye on trusted apps … the National Weather Service, local media outlets have reliable weather apps, also EIU Weather Centers, and WEIU has website and is on social media. (They are) better than cellphones because they just take model data and don’t really put the science behind it so those aren’t really the most accurate.” said Lau. “Be aware of what’s going on in your surroundings. A lot of apps will send notifications for watches and warnings. If it’s really big and severe, cellphones will automatically send out government alerts, and Eastern will have sirens and voice with instructions of what to do on campus.” Lau said he personally prepares by dressing for the weather. “I just bundle up, have my raincoat, carry my umbrella and try to stay dry as best as I can … which isn’t always the best since the waterway seems to go right down the sidewalk.”
Erica Mangia, a senior sociology major said students should always wear rainboots to avoid getting wet. “Buy rainboots … I have three pairs,” said Mangia.
Carmen Emanuel, a senior communication studies major, said she makes sure she wears a jacket and umbrella when it rains on campus. “I dress for the weather. I wear the appropriate shoes that won’t get wet on the inside,” said Emanuel.
Jessica Stewart, a sophomore English education major, said she bought a pair of rainboots to wear when Eastern’s campus flooded last year. “The south quad is basically a lake,” said Stewart. She also suggests rainboots, umbrellas and ponchos for staying dry.
Doug Michaels, a graduate student studying higher education administration, said he had never walked through as much standing water before Tuesday. “I had to jump over puddles and avoid it as best as I could, although everything around it was very wet and flooded,” said Michaels.
Micheal Carter, a freshman engineering technology major, said he didn’t have any problems with the rain on Tuesday because he likes rain. “It wasn’t too much rain for me, coming from Chicago,” said Carter. Carter said he puts on more than one layer of clothes, wears shoes he won’t have to worry about getting wet and tries to stay inside when it rains.
William Spitler, a freshman physics major, said he did not experience any problems from the rain on Tuesday. “Rainboots and umbrella help me get around (the rain),” said Spitler.

Rough mornings
Listen to victims of sexual assault There is a problem that has been making headlines around the world that seems especially prevalent right now: sexual assault. Even with the talk generated by the ‘Me Too’ movement, it still feels like not enough actual action is taking place. Rapists are still not being prosecuted or held accountable, and rape culture is still alive and thriving in 2018. This is highlighted right now with Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. When a woman stepped forward and said Kavanaugh had assaulted her, the excuses and accusations came flooding in, and not towards the man accused of assault. ‘Why didn’t she come forward earlier? It was so long ago, why does it matter now? She is probably just talking now to get attention.’ To these people, we say, who would ask for this type of attention? What is this woman gaining from lying? We at The Daily Eastern News stand with survivors of sexual assault and support their right to call out their attacker. No matter the victim’s situation, they deserve to be heard, and they deserve the right to be respected when they finally feel like they can speak out and make a difference. If we don’t stop belittling survivors, everything the Me Too movement brought to light will be for naught, as women will still have to fight to be taken seriously about what they endured. For any real change to happen, we have to not only listen to survivors, we have to act. We as a nation need to get better about providing viable rape kits and about not making excuses for those who are accused. Why would any woman come forward when she knows there is little to no chance her attacker will be brought to justice? What’s the point of pressing charges when our legal system does not treat rape or sexual assault as a real crime? We need to change the dialogue surrounding those standing up and talking about their experiences in order to change the process. Until then, we will continue to live in a society that has started talking big talk about ending sexual assault but has not started taking victims seriously when it comes down to actually doing something about it. We stand with Christine Blasey Ford and any other woman who has faced an unforgiving public when accusing a well-respected man of sexual misconduct.

COURTNEY SHEPHERD | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
You learn a lot working in food service Have you ever been the target of someone’s incessant complaining about how their crispy seasoned waffle fries are too crispy and seasoned? Or have you ever been called an idiot because your ketchup-to-mustard ratio on a burger was not quite right? Then you, my friend, have never had the privilege of working in the food service industry. I say “privilege” both light-heartedly and seriously. While it is dehumanizing to get yelled at by a customer for the cheese on their cheeseburger not being “cheesy enough,” it is experiences like that I am actually grateful for. For one thing, these types of complaints and experiences have given me capability the act poise in any dire (or ridiculous) situation. Never underestimate a customer’s ability to find something to complain about. It amazes me that with all of the things going on in the world, a customer can make the complaints about a fast food meal seem like it is neck and neck with all of the injustice going on outside of the door. Nonetheless, it is important to match that customer’s complaint with empathy and patience—even if it is just about a gyro. It has also taught me the importance of hard work. The restaurant I work at is a small business owned by a man and his mother. The
C AROLE HODOROWICZ pair have been running and working at the restaurant every day for over 20 years. Every shift, I am always working with one of or both of the owners, which gives me the opportunity to know who and what I am working for: a family with a strong work ethic and passion for business. I also always have someone to lean on if I cannot handle a customer on my own or if I have any questions. Knowing who my bosses are beyond just their names makes me appreciate and respect their business more than if they were strangers who just popped in once in a while. This job has helped me outside of the kitchen and restaurant—it has helped me with my organizational skills overall. This job has been a part of my schedule since freshman year of
college, giving me not only necessary funds but also structure. I am currently enrolled in my busiest semester yet as I balance an internship, classes, my position as editor-in-chief of the Warbler Yearbook and the positions I hold in my sorority. This job has taught me to have responsibility and accountability. I need a shift covered or switched? It is up to me to communicate with my coworkers and figure something out. I am having an issue that needs to be addressed? I need to be a mature adult and discuss it professionally. These are skills I have taken from my food service job and have been able to apply to every single one of my duties outside of the restaurant. Working in the food service industry is something I recommend every college student or person experiences. The things you will take away from it will teach you not only how to be a decent employee, but also a decent human being in general. It is not always glamorous, but it is infinitely rewarding in ways you would not expect unless you try it out for yourself. Remember to always tip generously and complain with tact. And if you are on the other side of things, remember that this job will benefit you outside of the paycheck. Carole Hodorowicz is a senior journalism major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or at cdhodorowicz@eiu.edu.
False confessions more common than you think Recently I have been reading up on false confessions made by suspects during interrogations by police officers. A false confession is an admission of guilt to crime that is not true. It usually happens due to coercion or mental instability and disability. This is more common of an occurrence then you think. According to the National Registry of Exonerations, 12% of exonerations have false confession as a contributing factor. Also, the Innocence Project states that more than 1 out of 4 people exonerated by DNA evidence made a false confession or a criminating statement. These certainly are shocking statistics. There are many factors that contribute to this type of false admission of guilt like the ones I stated above. However, there are many more factors to know about these confessions. The Innocence Project has many reasons, but the most noteworthy factors are: Compromised reasoning ability due to exhaustion, hunger, stress, substance abuse, lack of an education or mental limitations. Also, police using unethical techniques such as untrue statements about incriminating evidence. This is not an article to attack any police officers; I am just trying to say that this does happen sometimes; the statistics show these facts. Unfortunately some police officers use
these intimidation techniques to get confessions, it is just a question of whether it is a true confession or not. The false confessions plea has gained some media attention in the past. Famous cases/ people such as Brendan Dassey from “Making a Murderer” and Jessie Misskelley from the West Memphis Three (which was later made into a documentary “Paradise Lost”) have brought this problem to the mass media. False confessions can be prevented if the right measures are taken. Make sure to have a full-unedited recording of the interview so there is evidence to back up any misconduct or coercion techniques. Also, the police

need to be aware of the situations/people susceptible to false confession. The New York Times states that young children and mentally disabled individuals are prone to suggestion from an authority figure such as a police officer. Now, this type of plea only became relevant in the past 20-30 years. It will be interesting to figure out past cases had a contributing factor such as false confession. Maybe DNA evidence can shed light on these false confessions from over 50-60 years ago, if they have ever occurred. Spreading information on the facts about false confession may help out people who are currently serving prison time for a crime they did not commit, or it could help out a future individual who was coerced into a confession. People like Misskelley and Dassey are only two of the many instances of a probable false confession. This issue is a serious problem in crime and punishment, and the statistics show the prevalence of this unfortunate factor. Many factors can lead to a false imprisonment, and now this is only one more factor to be aware of and look out for in future criminal cases. Jordan Boyer is a senior history major.

Desirée Ruhstrat, violinist for the group, said the Recital Hall was one of her favorite things about the performance. “The minute we stepped on the stage we thought it’s just such a treat to be in such a jewel box of a theatre,” Ruhstrat said. “It’s the perfect size for chamber music, and to be able to hear yourself and the sound like that so easily and effortlessly was such a joy for us.” Aznavoorian also expressed her love for the Recital Hall. “It’s not just about the instrument,” Aznavoorian said. “It’s about how the instrument works in that hall, so this was actually really beautiful.

Gamecocks win again; Skyhawks stun Austin Peay By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports And then there were two. With the Eastern football team’s 41-40 loss to Tennessee State on Saturday and Tennessee Tech’s 48-20 loss to Jacksonville State, Eastern and Tennessee Tech remain the only two winless teams in the OVC. Jacksonville State knocked around Tennessee Tech in just about every way possible, putting up 544 yards on offense, the exact same total Eastern surrendered to Tennessee State, and dropped 17-points in the fourth quarter to really bury the Golden Eagles. Josh Pearson grabbed five passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns for the Gamecocks in the win, playing the key factor in keeping Tennessee Tech winless. Pearson now has five touchdowns this season, two behind conference leader Alexander Hollins from Eastern. Pearson’s big game earned him the OVC Offensive Player of the Week award. Tennessee Tech’s defense is now giving up a conference-worst 51 points per game this season, worse than only Eastern who is surrendering 49.8 points per game, and the Golden Eagles have also given up a league-worst 2,172 yards. Once again, that total is worse than only Eastern, which has given up 2,096 yards.
Tennesse-Martin delivered the first real shocking game of the season in the first week on conference play, toppling Austin Peay 37-7 at home. Austin Peay took a 7-6 lead into halftime with them, but everything changed after the opening kick of the third quarter was returned by the Skyhawks’ Peyton Logan for a 75-yard touchdown. From that moment, the game belonged to Tennessee-Martin. Skyhawks’ quarterback Dresser Winn completed 21 of 28 pass attempts for 199 yards and one touchdown, but his trouble with interceptions this season persisted as he tossed two of them against Austin Peay. Winn has a conference-high six interceptions this season, he does however lead the OVC in yards and touchdown passes. Austin Peay quarterback JaVaughn Craig struggled all game, completing just 5 of 18 pass attempts for 83 yards and one interception. Much of Craig’s struggles can be attributed to Tennessee-Martin linebacker Garret Wall, who put up 13 tackles and half a sack and hurried Craig once, as he forced one fumble, earning Defensive Player of the Week honors for the conference. The loss is a big blow to Austin Peay on the national scene as they have now fallen out of the top 25. They came into the game ranked 23rd in the FCS poll,
leaving Jacksonville State (ranked 8th) as the only OVC team to appear in the poll. Eastern Kentucky’s defense should be feeling a sense of pride this week after it led its team to a 23-14 home win over Southeast Missouri. Eastern Kentucky’s defense held Redhawks’ running back Marquis Terry to just 58-yards rushing on 12 carries for no touchdowns on Saturday. This comes after a week when Terry, who leads the nation with 232 all-purpose yards per game, ran for a conference record 311 yards against Southern Illinois. The Eastern Kentucky defense not only held Terry in check for the entire game, but also intercepted Southeast Missouri quarterback Daniel Santercanteria four times in the game. It is tough to imagine that the Eastern Kentucky coaching staff could ask for a much better defensive performance against a very good Redhawks’ offense. Austin Peay has a chance to potentially work itself back into the national top 25 and play spoiler to Jacksonville State, who have won 33 straight conference games, when the two teams meet this Saturday on Jacksonville State’s home turf. Tennessee-Martin should move to 2-0 in the OVC this week, as they play a struggling Murray State team, but the game is at home for the Racers and if last week’s OVC results tell us anything, it’s to expect the unexpected.

Eastern safety Raymond Crittenden (4) and cornerback Mark Williams (21) combine to make a tackle on an Indiana State ball carrier in a 55-41 loss in week three at O’Brien Field. The Eastern defense is ranked second-to-last in the OVC, ahead of just Tennessee Tech.
Tennessee State will clash with the SEC’s Vanderbilt. OVC teams have not fared well against the SEC this season, holding an 0-3 record. Eastern and Tennesse Tech will be playing for the rights to not be called the conference’s worst team when the two teams meet in Cookeville, Tenn this Saturday.

Eastern men's golf team finishes in last place Tuesday By Oscar Rzodkiewicz Men’s Golf Reporter | @ORzodkiewicz The men’s golf team could not channel its inner Tiger Woods at the Southern Illinois Edwardsville Derek Dolenc Classic on Tuesday, finishing last out of 17 teams with a team stroke total of 936 in three rounds, good for +84 overall. Freshman Pierce Allord led the way for Eastern in the final round yesterday, recording a +3, 74-stroke outing en route to a 62nd ranked finish at the event. Allord remained just +1 through his first 14 holes of the day, including an even-par front nine, before surrendering two shots in his final four holes to close the round. Allord stepped up in a major way from the team’s first tournament last
"We all have to practice different things, but we'll keep working." -Romeo Perez, junior
weekend, as the Illinois native lowered his total stroke count by seven and finished second on the team. Junior Romeo Perez said it felt great to see his teammates putting in some good rounds. “It’s really nice seeing them playing well,” Perez said. “We all had some bad rounds this tournament though, but it’s good that everyone is capable of having good rounds. That’s how we’ll be more competitive.” It was Perez who led Eastern overall, with a 226-stroke total and a T-57th finish.

Perez posted his worst round of the tournament in the final round, double bogeying two of his final four holes, but the Frenchman still managed to clock in at 77 strokes. A few problematic holes killed Eastern overall, as the Panthers finished 31 strokes back of 16th place, yet they finished tied for 14th in pars made overall. Senior Charlie Adare was not averse to those pitfalls, as he finished the day on a nine-stroke 15th hole, despite beginning the day with a birdie on the par 4 16th.
Adare bounced around over the three rounds, going +10 and +11 in his first and third rounds, respectively, yet posting a 74-stroke second round, tied for the team low. Sophomore Sebastian Olrog had similar consistency issues in the event, opening the tournament on a 76-stroke first round only to fumble into an 87 and an 83 in his last two rounds, respectively. The par 4 second hole created problems for Olrog all tournament long, as he went +6 in his three appearances on the front nine killer. Freshman Nic Nguyen’s first tournament showing of the year went unfavorably, as Nguyen failed to post an under-80 round over the two days. On Tuesday, it was a nine-stroke hole-out on the par 4 first hole that set
back Nguyen from the start. Nguyen rallied, though, birdying both the fifth and ninth holes on the front nine to get to +8 before dropping five strokes in his final six holes. In the end, Perez said the takeaway from the tournament was simple: getting back home and working on the craft. “We need to keep practicing,” Perez said. “We all have to practice different things, but we’ll keep working.” The host of the tournament, SIUE, took the victory overall with an 842team stroke total and a -10 finish. Eastern’s next event begins on Oct. 1 at the Drake Zach Johnson Invitational in Des Moines, Iowa. Oscar Rzodkiewicz can be reached at 581-2812 or orrzodkiewicz@eiu.edu.

Volleyball team beats Chicago State 3-2 By Tom O’Connor Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports As the Cougars growled, the Panthers roared back even louder. Down 2-1 in the match to Chicago State, Eastern sophomore Laurel Bailey and redshirt freshman Kylie Michael showered the Cougars with a combined nine kills in the final two sets to take a 3-2 victory on Tuesday night. Those two sets alone factored into their achievements on the evening, as Bailey notched 15 kills and 13 digs for her seventh such game this season, while Michael, for the first time in her career, completed a double-double, finalizing a match of 11 digs and 10 kills. Just as Bailey and Michael took turns advancing the offense, the match played out much the same way, with Chicago State seizing the first set, before the sets exchanged hands for the remainder of the game. Closing the fifth set with a .389 hitting percentage, Bailey and Michael pitched in three kills respectively. As Chicago State pushed its lead to 9-8 on sophomore Gabby Pearl’s kill in the fifth set, the Panthers, with the services of Michael and Bailey, sounded off on a 3-0 run to take the lead and, in due time, the game. The Panthers conceded only one error in the fifth set and pressured Chicago State
into seven. While the fifth featured a reciprocal affair, Eastern darted out to a 2112 lead in the fourth, acknowledging Lauren Klavitter’s service ace with a 4-0 run, which began on junior Katie Sommer’s kill, to attain its largest lead of the match. Chicago State did, however, stage a 3-0 run to make it 22-16, but their close proximity with the Panthers would not fester. Bailey and Maggie Runge molded a run of their own, steering the Panthers offense to a nine-point win and tying the match at two. After barely edging Eastern in set three, Chicago State entered the set at a lethargic pace, surrendering points to Bailey, Michael and senior Abby Knight. Senior Lauryn Dela Cruz of Chicago State, who is currently second in the Western Athletic Conference when it comes to kills per set, proved ineffective in the set, settling with one kill and a copious amount of attack errors. The Panthers developed a plan at containing Dela Cruz after the first set, when the outside hitter had seven kills. Both offenses were nearly impeccable in the first set, as the teams committed just eight attack errors between the two teams. BRYAN BUND | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Tuesday’s loss hurts Panthers’ ranking By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist It looked as though Eastern’s men’s soccer team grabbed its third win of the season Tuesday evening against Belmont. With only 10 minutes left in the match, Eastern midfielder Cole Harkrader scored his first goal of the season and gave Eastern a 2-1 lead, certainly seeming to give Eastern a needed win, barring any late-game heroics from Belmont. But the Bruins did it. They scored two goals in the last four minutes to rob the Panthers and sent them home with a what-couldhave-been feeling. Eastern (2-5-2) lead twice in the match, with both leads being erased rather quickly by Belmont (2-5-1). Adam Voloder tied the match for Belmont by scoring his second goal of the season with three minutes and six seconds left in the match, assisted by Ares Marlonsson, who had two assists Tuesday. Then 45 seconds before the final whistle, Niccolo Dagnoni scored his first goal of the season to give Belmont its second win on the year. Eastern midfielder Nate Francke gave Eastern a 1-0 lead just over 28 minutes into the match, despite being shorthanded after Shady Omar got a red card just under eight minutes into the match. Belmont answered 55 seconds later when Matteo Bennati scored on a cross from Marlonsson. The shocking and heartbreaking finale to Tuesday’s match took away from a possible momentum surge Eastern needed to ride into this weekend. Tuesday is the Panthers’ third loss in a row, and while there are still eight matches left on the calendar, Eastern has to open conference play
DILLAN SCHORFHEIDE on a three-match losing streak against Denver, who is first in the Summit League and is not showing any signs of slowing down. Tuesday was the chance for Eastern to bounce back from its belowaverage offensive performances from its previous two matches against Wright State and Northern Illinois, in which the Panthers averaged four shots per match, down from the previous season average of 10 per match. While Eastern took eight shots Tuesday, just under the new 8.5 shots per game average, and scored two goals, nothing can make up for the win. While eight shots is not bad, Eastern is boasting a .342 shot-on-goal percentage, compared to opponents’ .49 percentage. If the Panthers want any shot against Denver, it will need to outshoot Denver and them to a manageable amount of shots. And while the offense made a comeback of sorts against Belmont Tuesday, the defense now seems to need to recover before Saturday’s daunting meeting with Denver, which it likely will, considering Eastern prides itself on defense. But Tuesday cannot be looked at as anecdotal evidence to say, “The offense did better and scored twice, what is there to worry about now?” The two goals for Eastern were its only shots on goal. Betting on scor-

ing on your few shots is a recipe for hope, not success. It just so happens that was the case Tuesday. While only Denver and Omaha have played a match in conference play thus far, Eastern currently sits in fifth (tied for fourth) in the conference. The standings are based on non-conference points thus far (save Denver and Omaha), and Eastern is tied with Western Illinois with eight points. The next closest team in standings is Oral Roberts in third, with 16 points; Fort Wayne is second with 18, and Denver leads with 25 total
points. Just to get to Oral Roberts’ current position, Eastern would need to win three matches, with eight left (each win is three points, a tie is one). Only four teams make the postseason tournament out of six, and based on Omaha’s previous season’s performance, it will bounce back to make a run. So Eastern’s only chance is to win and out-run Western and Omaha, and possibly get lucky if Fort Wayne and Oral Roberts take a dive in the second half of the season. The offense did score twice, a
commendable feat considering that is the single-match high for Eastern this season, but only one result from Tuesday would have really, truly helped the Panthers: a win. Now, Eastern will have to chase its conference foes. Without a win Saturday, or even a tie, sniffing the conference tournament will be difficult. Tuesday was a turning point for Eastern; now, the Panthers cannot afford to make any mistakes the rest of the season. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@eiu.edu.
