Faculty Senate aims to fill open positions

VOL. 101 | NO. 12 W W W . D A I L YE A S TE R N N E W S . C O M

Labor day rituals

By Samuel Nusbaum Administration Reporter | @DEN_newsdesk Faculty Senate will meet Tuesday in their second meeting of the academic year. The last time they met was Tuesday, Aug. 23. The members discussed topics such as revisions for the council on university planning and budgeting need or CUPB and the open committee spots to be filled. Additionally, they talked with Provost Blair Lord about a document that looks at the profits and losses for each department. Faculty Senate Chair, Dr. Jemmie Robertson, and member, Dr. Teshome Abebe, both talked about the Faculty Senate’s work with the CUPB that took place over the summer. The CUPB and Faculty Senate met a few of times over the summer to discuss how to make the CUPB work more effectively. The CUPB and Faculty Senate both had concerns as to how the CUPB was operating, and both decided to focus more on making the CUPB more effective rather than changing bylaws. Another topic the Faculty Senate covered in their first meeting was trying to fill vacant committee positions. Dr. Jeffrey Stowell, a psychology professor, gave a report saying three positions need to be filled on various committees. He listed the positions on each committee and the criteria each candidate has to meet to be eligible to apply for the vacant positions. The last major topic Faculty Senate talked about came up during Lord’s report. History professor and senate member Dr. Bailey Young asked Lord about a rumored sheet that has been floating around campus regarding losses and profits for each department. “It has come to my attention that there is a document circulating that calculates profits and losses for each department. Can you provide details about this?” Young asked. Provost Lord confirmed the document exists and is used to analyze growth in programs, but it is in the draft phase and will not be in circulation for some time because Provost Lord will have to talk to President Glassman about them. The senate also talked briefly about the student enrollment numbers, and how it affects the hiring of faculty and financial concerns. Provost Lord said to the senate that numbers are low but not as low as previously expected; so the school could not bring on many more professors. One senator brought up that professors do not have the same amount of resources they used to and the goals they are expected to meet have not been changed to match the amount of resources the professors have to work with.

Professor is planted with recognition By Angelica Cataldo Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News Not many people can say that a newly discovered species of plant is named after them, but it can be said about botanist and long-time Eastern professor, Dr. Gordon Tucker. Fimbristylis tuckeri, a newly discovered species of the sedge family, was found in the Western Ghats, a mountain range on the coast of the Indian Peninsula. Tucker worked with the botanists in India remotely through email, sending pictures and data of the plant specimens being collected. After receiving help from Tucker, they named the plant after him. The editor of the Kew Bulletin, an international journal for botany studies, and a friend of Tucker’s were the ones who broke the news to Tucker. “It really made my day and I was really excited about it,” Tucker said. “I felt honored and flattered at the same time. It was nice to have some recognition.” Since the 1970s, Tucker has been a professional botanist and has published papers and monographs detailing his study as a vascular plant systematist specializing in sedges. The sedge family contains more than 5,500 species, closely resembling grasses and rushes and is highly common in both Asia and South America. Throughout his career, Tucker has worked with other botanists from Korea, India, China and Illinois. He has also traveled around the world to study Botany in places such as China, Brazil, Mexico and Nepal.

Gordon Tucker, a biology professor, examines samples he had on file in his office. Indian botanists named a plant species after Tucker because of his contribution to their work.

He has had the honor of, not only discovering new species of plants, but also naming them. He said he has named plants after professors and other scientists he worked with. Tucker was not the first Eastern instructor to have a plant species named after him. John Ebinger, a retired professor, had the Elymus ebingeri named after him in 1997.

In 1996, Tucker became a professor in the department of biological sciences and succeeded Ebinger as the curator of the Stover-Ebinger Herbarium.

By T’Nerra Butler Verge Editor | @DEN_News The number of international students on campus has increased this year, according to a press release from the university. Bill Elliott, interim director of international students and scholars, said the international students on campus come from about 42 countries around the world, and on the tenth day of September the exact numbers of these students will be announced. A majority of those students come from India, Saudi Arabia, Nepal and South Korea. “I can say that our international enrollment is significantly higher than last fall,” Elliott said. Elliott said they are expecting to see around 20 or 30 new students, and that should put the numbers at more than 400, which is representative of both undergraduate and graduate international students.

Last fall Eastern had around 290 international students, Elliot said. A number of factors have aided in this increase, one being strategic planning on the department’s part. “We have partnered with many of the offices on campus that work directly with our students,” Elliot said. “This includes new student programs and student life.” Elliott said the Charleston community has a role in the increase as well. He said the community helps to make the students feel at home and welcomed with different churches and organizations within Charleston. “We do see that there is potential to increase international enrollment,” Elliot said. “Any steady growth right now is a good thing and it helps us with our overall enrollment numbers.” This trend of the increasing numbers has been going on for the last three or four years.

“This helps show that Eastern is not only well known in the U.S., but overseas,” Elliott said. “I think it speaks highly to the quality and caliber of academic programming.” Elliot stepped in as the interim director July 1, and currently still serves as the assistant director of the graduate school. Before the former director of international students and scholars, Kevin Vicker, was hired, Elliott started his first job at Eastern as the director of the office. Many of the people working in the international students and scholars office are new, because of the turnovers on campus Elliott said. “We have a whole new staff, but they really came together well and are working together well,” Elliot said. Arun Kumar Nagula, a graduate assistant, has been at Eastern for the past nine months and is from India. He said the university is a good place for students who come from different

parts of the world to improve their knowledge. He said places like the Student Recreation Center, the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union and Booth Library help to make his experience at Eastern better. “I even like my department office,” Nagula said. “I feel like I’m at home here.” In an email, Eastern President David Glassman said the international students on campus help to diversify and bring positivity to the university. “I’m proud that EIU provides a very positive, welcoming and inclusive environment for our international students and we look forward to growth in our international student enrollments in the future,” Glassman said.

New Charleston businesses serve up slices By AJ Fournier City Reporter| @DEN_News Domino’s Pizza, Windy City Pizza and the soon-to-be opened Marcos Pizza will bring to Charleston a total of ten pizza places in the area. Domino’s, which reopened on Aug. 19 after closing back in 2012, has seen great results after opening, even with the surplus of pizza places. “Business has been amazing and better than expected. It is great timing for the Domino’s to reopen,” Sam Duvall, Domino’s manager said. Duvall said he does not see any competition between other pizza places because Charleston is a small town, and Domino’s is primarily focusing on themselves and their customers. According to Duvall, since reopening, not much has changed for their menu and, right now, the majority of their employees are residents and about 25 percent are Eastern students. They are currently hiring more Eastern students. Domino’s is now the fourth pizza place where customers can order after midnight, along with Jerry’s, Chubby’s and Papa John’s Pizza. Josh Nixon, an employee at Jerry’s, said business is going well and does not consider the other businesses much competition. The only challenge the business faced is Eastern’s low new student enrollment for this

Multiple pizza locations have opened in Charleston in the past months, four of which serve after midnight

semester, Nixon said. Aaron Thomas, manager of Pagliai’s Pizza said they have not seen much change either. They usually get slammed with a ton of customers in the summer, but quiet down a little when the school year starts, Thomas said. Monical’s Pizza, which is one of the few pizza places not on Lincoln

Avenue, has seen their revenue go up recently even with all the new pizza places in Charleston. Nick Thomason, Monical’s assistant manager, said because a majority of their business comes from customers dining in, there is no direct competition. Thomason said their primary focus is on making sure customers have

a good dining experience, not on other pizza places. Marco’s Pizza, which is attached to and affiliated with Family Video, is still in the process of being completed and is currently hiring. Marco’s is expected to open on Oct. 2. AJ Fournier can be reached at 5812812 or ajfournier@eiu.edu

New Billy the Panther chosen, former mascot reflects By Kennedy Nolen Contributing Writer | @KennedyNolenEIU Eastern’s athletic department chose three anonymous individuals to sport the ‘Billy the Panther’ costume at events and games throughout this academic year. Rich Moser, Eastern’s sports information director, said two students are mainly responsible for covering most of the athletics games while the third student serves as a backup. However, all the students embody the panther spirit while working. “The mascot represents Eastern Illinois University in a positive and energetic fashion,” Moser said. Billy the Panther has been known as “Billy” since the late ‘60s. Not until 2008 was the mascot officially named “Billy the Panther.” Another version used in the 2000s was named “Prowler,” retired the same year. The identity of the person behind Billy is kept a secret. Changes to the mascot’s appearance have been made because of stolen costumes, updated styles and a need for something new. As far as the gender of the mascot goes, Moser said he is not sure if there is a specific reason why Billy is a male panther. “It may be based on the fact that the mascot was used primarily for male sports and slowly for female sports as Title IX was implemented,” Moser said. Depending upon which event Billy is at, he wears the corresponding uniform to match the players. He has baseball, softball and basketball jerseys as well as a blue Eastern Tshirt. Since Billy the Panther is the face of the school, the identities of the students who wear the costume are kept secret. Lewis Lancaster, a 2007 graduate and former Billy the Panther, said part of the mystique is not knowing who is in the suit. “Of course some of my very close friends knew, but very few,” he said.

BRYAN BUND | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Billy the Panther doing what he does best as he pumps up the crowd and cheers on the players at the women’s soccer game Sunday at Lakeside Field.

Moser said when choosing who will wear the costume, the athletic department is interested in people with previous experience as a mascot at a high school level or from an internship. Prior to getting the role as Billy, Lancaster went to mascot camp for two summers, which ran in conjunction with the Universal Cheerleaders Association’s camp. “I learned a lot there about how to act and build the character,” Lancaster said. The athletic department said they like having energetic and interactive mascots. In the past, some mascots

who can dance will have used their moves with other squads, or have a solo dance session. Since the suit conceals the student’s identity, it allows him or her to have more confidence engaging with fans, Moser said. Ryan Gruebel, a 2015 graduate and also a former Billy, said during his tenure as the mascot, he would go with a few of the players and an assistant coach to County Market to promote the women’s basketball team’s upcoming season. Gruebel, as Billy, took photos, gave high fives and passed out infor-

mation on the sports seasons. “It was a great experience. Everyone recognized Billy and was so happy to see him. It made it more fun and helped us in our promotion,” Gruebel said. When games get too hot, the athletic department ensures Billy has “adequate breaks and water or Gatorade available,” Moser said. If it is too hot, the amount of time someone is in the suit is cut back for safety precautions. Lancaster said he got multiple breaks on hot days, and sometimes even removed the suit completely.

“The trick is finding a place to hide so you can take the head off and avoid the public,” Lancaster said. Both Gruebel and Lancaster said they would be Billy again in a heartbeat. “It is a great resume builder, and it was a very important part of my four years at EIU,” Lancaster said.

Eastern in a Half Shell

Cassie Buchman

Expand the limits of your comfort zone As a fairly shy, timid child in elementary school and even through some parts of high school, I was always told to come out of my shell growing up. Most parents and teachers agreed I could be a pretty nice kid when I actually spoke up in class and in social situations. However, to me, being in new situations with tons of people was terrifying. For some reason, people scared me. I was always afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing or offending others, so during group activities, I would stay as quiet as possible and not participate. Although my shyness has gotten better with time, I was still a bit hesitant when a friend of mine asked me to come home with her for Labor Day weekend. See, going to her house would mean I would have to interact with her family and talk to people I do not know for a whole weekend. However, because I like to travel and I had never been to this girl’s town before, I agreed to go. After a day of being introduced to and meeting her immediate family and hanging around her neighborhood, my friend then decided to tell me, a few hours before the event, that her uncle was having a birthday party. The second she told me this, I started getting nervous all over again. Meeting a few relatives? OK, I had handled that. But a party is a whole different story—there would be more people this time. To make things worse, when I asked my friend if her family knew she would be bringing extra guests to the party in her uncle’s driveway, she looked at me and said, “now they will.” I had two choices that night. I could have stayed in the corner, reverting back to my elementary-age self, not talking to anyone and refusing to dance with anyone who asked. Or I could go out there and have a good time. I chose the latter, and I am glad I did. I spent the whole party dancing terribly and having fun with my friend’s uncle and his friend and talking to her family, who were all very friendly and fun. By branching out, I was able to learn new things, have a good time and give my friend some new pictures for her Snapchat. My friend’s uncle even told me that with a little practice, I could eventually learn to dance better. If I had just been a little wallflower, like I had been in my youth, I would never have gotten these experiences and memories and I would have never learned to dance. Yes, new situations can be uncomfortable and scary. But as cliché as it sounds, and as much as I hate to admit it, the adults of my early childhood were right—coming out of your shell makes life better. Now the next time I happen to come upon a new opportunity or event, I will not be afraid to try it out, and I know I will be a better person for it. Cassie Buchman is a junior journalism major.

Find the charm in local historic landmarks Have you ever seen the oldest women’s dormitory in the state? Or possibly the family cabin that Abraham Lincoln visited during his career as a Springfield lawyer? Maybe, during a trip devoid of educational appeal, you have ogled a two-story outhouse? If you could answer yes to any of the above questions, then congratulations: you have been using your time wisely and have taken advantage of some of the historical oddities and attractions in Eastern’s area. At first glance, it may seem as if Eastern sprouted up in a bland area devoid of any historical value. However, anyone who has spent any time here or delved even at surface level into the area’s historic value would argue otherwise. Charleston may not be near many major, nationally recognized landmarks, but it has its own landmarks, historical and otherwise, that lend a certain vibrance to the area. Some may even argue that the histor-

ic areas in Charleston are more authentic than some other, better-known landmarks. The lack of tourism pressures certainly has helped to preserve the authenticity of some local sites. Knowing the history of an area helps you to understand and appreciate the area at its present state. In this case, knowing the landmarks in Coles county helps in understanding its hidden charms: its tenacity, its steadfastness and its commitment to tradition. For these reasons, the staff of The News suggests that all students take advantage of the landmarks around them. Most residents and students already know about the Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, the reconstructed home of Thomas and Sarah Bush Lincoln: this site offers a realistic look into the lives of Abraham Lincoln and the residents of mid-1800’s Lerna. Of all local historic areas, Lincoln Log Cabin is possibly the most famous.

However, the nearest historical landmarks are our own Pemberton Hall, the oldest women’s dormitory in the state, and Old Main, famed as an “Altgeld castle” commissioned by governor John Peter Altgeld. There are even roadside attractions and semi-historic sites nearby for students willing to travel. The two-story outhouse in Gays is interesting enough to warrant its own trip, but for a full day’s outing, we recommend visiting Casey’s massive wind chime, golf tee, knitting needles and pitchfork (among other things), all of which are the largest of their sort. Get a feel for the spirit of the area while you are still here. If this is your first semester at Eastern, take some time to visit the fascinating features of the area. If you are about to leave soon, treat yourself to a last visit to your favorites. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.

Saving trees may not save our minds In recent years, I have noticed that schools are increasingly becoming paperless: a smart move really, since students spend a lot of their time online anyway. However, I have come to see that going paperless has its downsides, too. This semester, Eastern decided to refrain from giving students paper assignment notebooks. The reasoning for this was that students would have access to an online agenda and it would also save the money previously earmarked for notebook printing. While these are good reasons to make changes, I still remain a strong advocate for having something physical in front of you and being able to write information down. I am the kind of person that cannot remember to do something without actually writing it down. Take this column for example. I actually almost forgot to write because I did not write it down. I like taking time to write information down so that it becomes engrained in my head. It allows me to be able to look back in case I do not remember something. While we would have access to an electronic notebook, I do not use my phone enough to actually make use of an electronic notebook. My agenda would not stay in my head the same way it would have had I written it down. Another reason I do not prefer this method of going completely paperless is because I feel that it defeats the purpose of having a class meet in per-

Alex Bonnot son. There have been many classes that I have taken here and at my junior college that had physical meeting times, but all of our materials and assignments were online. What is the point of coming to class when I can simply print off all of the Powerpoints and not even have to leave my bed? I am not the only person that thinks this way. For some of the people I know, a big reason why they do not go to class is because they can get all of their information online. They find out that as long as they do the readings, they can pass the class quite easily. No need to go to class at all. If I am spending money on a class, I would hope that actually attending would be necessary. The biggest issue that I have come across my-

self is that since I do spend so much time online, it is easy for me to become distracted. The more homework I have online, the more easily I become distracted with YouTube and Facebook. This is not to say that technology is unimportant or entirely distracting in a classroom. I think it is crucial to have technology in the classroom, especially in a society where technology is growing so fast. For example, one way online learning can be useful is by lowering the amount of money students spend on printing. Not every student has a printer, and having the ability to turn in homework online not only decreases paper usage, but it also allows students to spend less money on printing. On the other hand, not every student has stable access to the Internet at home. I also like that if there are longer works that one needs to read for a class, they do not have to have a huge packet to carry around. Having access to technology in the classroom is actually something that I believe to be necessary. However, I do not think that teachers should be going entirely paperless.

Tucker teaches a long range of courses that include plant taxonomy, dendrology and a course studying medicinal plants. His medicinal plants course is a new class for the fall semester. “One of the interesting thing about medicinal plants is investigating new species and determining if they have medicinal values and usages,” Tucker said. Since his start in the field, Tucker has led multiple research projects in association with the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Chinese National Academy of Science. He and Eastern Professor Zhiwei Liu have led and co-taught a study abroad course that studies plant usage and culture in China. Students who attend the course experience the cultures in the different cities they visit, as well as learning about the native plant species and how they are used in certain regions of China. Aside from his international studies, Tucker has also worked with studying native Illinois plant species. He is also involved with writing and publishing for academic journals for botany all over the globe. “I think it’s important that people be aware that we have lots of people here at Eastern that have specialties working with biology and other subject that also have international connections, not just here in Illinois,” Tucker said.

Men’s soccer splits weeked matches Shuts out Green Bay, loses late to Marshall By JJ Bullock Men’s soccer reporter| @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team picked up their first win of the season Friday in a 2-0 win over the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, but failed to secure its second in a 1-0 loss to Marshall on Sunday. It was a trio of substitutes that carried the Eastern offense in their 2-0 win over Green Bay. Junior Tyler Enright made his presence known coming off the bench, Enright delivered the first goal of the game for the Panthers in the 38th minute of play. Receiving a cross pass into the box from fellow substitute Yann Nsoga, Enright gave Eastern a 1-0 lead on a header into the left corner of the net. “We just circulated the ball really well, we were able to move it side-to-side and make them move,” Enright said of his goal. “Once we were able to get them moving, we were able to get the ball wide and break pressure, and from there on it was just a good ball across.” With a 1-0 lead in their pockets, the Eastern defense buckled down to hold Green Bay to just one shot before the half. There were many tense moments in the second half for Eastern, how-

ever. The Green Bay offense controlled the ball on their side of the field for most of the half and accumulated eight shots on goal, but the Eastern defense remained stout and kept Green Bay from finding the back of the net. “There’s going to moments in the game, in any game that’s over 95 minutes where you lose control of the game,” Eastern coach Kiki Lara said. “Fortunately for us it was less than more, and in those moments we just have to be gritty defensively, we have to be organized and aware and we leaned on that and we got it done.” In the closing seconds of the game Eastern substitute freshman Alex Castaneda broke away from the pack after receiving a pass from senior Davis Wegmann, and shot a goal past Green Bay goalkeeper Kyle Ihn, putting away the Phoenix. Lara was not satisfied with his team’s effort in the second half of Eastern’s 1-0 loss to Marshall at Lakeside Field on Sunday, he said. “It wasn’t good enough from us today,” Lara said. “Because in the critical moments of the game we weren’t gritty enough to seal the game off. We played well in possession, we did some things well in going forward and breaking pressure, but defensively in a critical moment we didn’t get it done and we got a loss.” The Eastern defense carried over its strong play from the Green Bay game into the first half of its con-

test against Marshall. The Panthers held their opponent to zero goals and just two shots in the first period. The second half proved to be a whole different story. After playing the first half with very high energy and aggressiveness, Eastern conceded a goal in the 50th minute of play. Marshall’s Carl Diaz-Salcedo headed in the goal. Lara credited the goal to a mental relapse on defense. “It’s just not tuned in, not gritty

enough and not focused. That right there is not being focused coming out of the half and giving a team that didn’t deserve a goal a goal,” Lara said. With 30 seconds to play in the game Eastern’s Trevor Kerns missed a would be game-tying goal in a second half that was full of missed offensive opportunities for the Panthers. “Give credit to them (Marshall); they blocked shots, they battled,

they were tough defensively there at the end, they made it difficult, I’ll give them a lot of credit,” Lara said. “But I also think that from us were not sharp enough in the final third just yet. We are working on that, but in that process of getting better at doing that we were still not sharp enough defensively to seal the game and make it a zero-zero match.” J.J.

Defense standing tall for the men’s soccer team Mark Shanahan Assistant Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports The men’s soccer team lost one and won one this weekend in a pair of home games. The defense was the story for the men, giving up just one goal in both of the games combined. On Sunday, the Panthers defeated Green Bay without giving up a shot on goal. Junior goalkeeper Mike Novotny was able to go the full 90-minutes without having to do much work. The de-

fense shut down Green Bay’s offense attack only allowing them nine shots. Green Bay’s best opportunity came on a turnover by Novotny, but freshman defender Alessandro Corti, who headed the ball back into play with his heels on the goal line, bailed him out. The Panthers also nicely defended eight corner kicks in the game, which generally give teams good scoring chances. This was the men’s first shutout victory of the year. Coach Kiki Lara said the defense was

a team effort on Friday. “Everybody’s committed to get numbers behind the ball,” he said. “Everybody was aware. Everybody was committed to getting pressure on the ball afterwards. It was a team effort there defensively.” Lara went on to explain what the defense has been working on in practice that’s showing off in games. “It been progress for months on just circulating the ball, moving the ball, getting in the right passing lanes, stay-

ing in control of the game,” he said. “We want to be a team that is exciting possession wise, we want to be effective, but was also want to be known for pulling out good defensive performances.” On Sunday, Novotny was forced to make four saves against Marshall and let one get passed him, which turned out to be the difference. Eastern limited Marshall to eight total shots in the game, with six of them coming in the second half. The defense held Marshall in check

for the majority of the first half and the first shot of the game came in the 40th minute that resulted in a save by Novotny. Marshall brought more pressure in the second half, which resulted in the goal that happened in the 50th minute. A strong defense is something that will be vital for the Panthers moving forward.

Young volleyball team finding its way By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports After two more losses to start the weekend tournament in Memphis, the Panthers were 0-6 with one game left and one more chance to find that first win of the season. They responded in convincing fashion by taking advantage of another winless team in Jackson State. Eastern finished its final game of the Tiger Invitational with a straight set win against the Gamecocks, and moved to 1-6 on the young campaign. Although it was another tournament with more losses than wins, Eastern coach Sam Wolinski said she is still confident in the direction her team is headed in. “It’s about the process and as we continue to improve and become consistent in certain areas of the game the outcome will come in terms of wins,” Wolinski said. The Panthers won just one set combined in the first two games of the tournament against Louisiana Tech and Memphis, but the highlight was the game against Jackson State. With such a young team losing streaks can prove to be detrimental, and Wolinski said it was important to come away with that win to end their skid. “ We didn’t win the first two matches but continued to make s t r i d e s i n ov e r a l l g r ow t h a s a team,” Wolinski said. “The win against Jackson State was important because we executed in all areas and won in three straight sets.” Execution certainly was important as the Panthers continued to grow in the tournament and

match against Jackson State. The Panthers got off to a slow star t, trailing 4-0 early in the first set before sophomore Taylor Smith and Freshman Maggie Runge teamed up in what was a turning point of the set and match Smith star ted off the attack with a kill while Runge followed on the next play with a crucial block to cut the deficit in half. The block sparked a little run, a n d t h e Pa n t h e r s s o o n f o u n d themselves with an 8-7 lead in the set. After taking its first lead, Eastern never trailed again in the set and used another 7-0 run to eventually spark the 25-15 victory. It was the Panthers match to lose after that as momentum was on their side, winning the next two sets and coming away with the big win. While the freshmen continue to gain experience on the team, some sophomores and juniors that are proving to be the difference. Sophomore Abby Knight and junior Maria Brown were named to the Tiger Invitational All-Tournament. Smith also still put in another quality performance in what has already been an impressive campaign for the sophomore. Smith finished the tournament with two triple-doubles to add to her impressive stat sheet this season. With seven games in the books and the Panthers searching for consistency, the upcoming games will prove to be important. They begin the search for consistency with a road game against Western Illinois Tuesday night. While Eastern will try for its second win in a row, the Leather-

necks will be searching for their first win of the season. “Western is looking for their first win of the season so they will be hungry for that win especially at home,” Wolinski said. “We need to win the ser ve and pass game, and our blocking has been

strong so we need that to continue.” Western Illinois comes into play at 0-6 this season, and the most recent loss came against Butler. The match tips off in Macomb Tuesday night at 7 p.m., and the Pa n t h e r s f o l l ow t h i s m i d w e e k

Women’s soccer team splits weekend’s games By Phil Delma Women’s soccer reporter| @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s soccer team found the win column for the first time in Friday’s 2-1 win over Chicago State and narrowly missed a weekend sweep before falling 2-0 to Indiana State. Both teams in Sunday’s game had trouble finding the back of the net for large parts of the game, until Indiana State’s Katie Wells broke the deadlock with two minutes remaining of regulation, before fellow Sycamore Pam Silies added another to ensure a 2-0 victory at Lakeside Field in the home opener of the season for the Panthers. The game was scoreless until nearly the 89th minute when Indiana State put away the Panthers with Wells’ goal. Eastern had a chance to build off their first win of the young season after beating Chicago State 2-1 in Chicago on Friday. Freshman Henar Urteaga and freshman Hannah Heinz netted the two goals in the Panthers’ win on Friday, but neither of them or the rest of the team could register a shot on goal in Sunday’s loss to the Sycamores. Caitlin Glascott assisted the first goal for Indiana State after a Sara Teteak was rebounded and knocked in by Wells.

Junior Midfielder Ali Carlson fights for position Sunday against Indiana State at Lakeside Field. The Panthers lost 2-0 to bring their season record to 1-4.

Following the late goal from the Wells, Eastern pushed forward in search of an equalizer straight from the following kickoff. While Eastern moved further up the field, a misplaced pass in midfield presented an opportunity for Pam Silies to break free for a one-on-one chance with Teteak, in

which she capitalized with a scoring finish, giving Indiana State a late insurance goal at the 89:35 mark. Sycamores goalkeeper Brittany Sam Roman essentially had a day off despite playing the whole 90 minutes, with no saves made, as the organizational work of her

teammates made it hard for the Panthers to have clear-cut chances on goal. As well as both teams keying in on a defensive matchup, there were times when it got physical as the game wore on, with both teams doing everything they can to cut one another’s momentum.

In total, there were 21 fouls committed in the matchup. Indiana recorded six fouls, but the Panthers were lucky to have referee Mike Wilson keep the cards in his pocket, as they recorded nearly three times as many as the Sycamores had, with 16 fouls. Indiana State had ten shots, with five being on target. Eastern Illinois recorded four shots, none of them on target. Eastern, for a majority of the first period as well as earlier in the second, enjoyed time on the opposition’s side of the field as they logged five corner kicks to the Sycamores’ lone corner kick, which was taken after 20 minutes in the first period. Wells and midfielder Maddie Orf are the only players of the afternoon to register multiple shots, with all others from both teams just managing a single shot. Eastern is now 1-4 on the season and will be at Lakeside Field again this Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. as they take on the IndianaPurdue University-Indianapolis Jaguars, who currently have three wins and two losses, along with a draw.
