CUPB reviews new enrollment initiatives
By Debby Hernandez Administration Editor |@DEN_News
The Council on University Planning and Budgeting received feedback on enrollment initiatives from administrators Friday. Members also reviewed possible changes to student representation in the council. Mary Herrington-Perry, the assistant vice-president for academic affairs, presented the Root Cause Analysis, emphasizing the amount of competition among institutions as one of the root causes for low enrollment. CUPB member Grant Sterling said the outcomes for enrollment have not turned out as predicted by university members. “The impression that I received a couple years
ago was that we thought what we were doing was going to work.” He said. “We thought (in) 2014 we will at least stabilize; that obviously didn’t happen.” Sterling said an enormous amount of university money has been spent on enrollment consultants and questioned the lack of improvement. “Did no (experts) tell us that what we were doing wasn’t going to work and we did it anyways? Or…did we pay lots of money and they were completely wrong?” he asked. Herrington-Perry said the university received feedback on areas needed to be improved with the consulting. “They told us point blank that what we were doing in admissions was out of date, so there was vast room for improvement,” she said. President Bill Perry said while about $150,000
was invested in consultation, it was useful. “I think it was a worthwhile investment because what we found out was that we were behind the curve,” Perry said. “We are working with keeping up with a rapidly changing environment.” The Root Cause Analysis also provided a brief overview of the frequent reasons why students do not attend Eastern, which includes the appearance of the campus and its residence halls. CUPB member Ann Brownson said residence hall appearance is a big reason to be considered. She said residence halls are not well maintained, and added rooms are often kept empty. Brownson said while single rooms are offered, they are relatively more expensive, and said another form of offering single rooms to students should be considered.
Herrington-Perry said it is a matter of personal preference. “When we talk about students saying they are not coming because of the community, there are students who come because of (it),” she said. “It is very difficult to pinpoint who will love Charleston and who will not.” Director of admissions Chris Dearth said making Eastern more visible among local areas is part of this year’s enrollment initiatives. “Our local area is set at about an hour and half from campus,” Dearth said. “We are doing more on-sight programs.” He said the purpose is to build partnerships with local high schools by visiting them personally.

GLAM uses fashion to focus on October issues By Kalyn Hayslett Staff Reporter | @DEN_News For their first fashion show of the year, GLAM modeling used their organization as a voice to bring awareness to the issues of domestic violence, breast cancer and LGBTQA prejudices. Kendall Jackson, president of GLAM modeling, initially wanted the show to be dedicated to breast cancer awareness. “I wanted to do something to give back, and I remembered it was breast cancer awareness month, but an all pink fashion show would not have been good,” Jackson said. “I wanted to do something outof-the-box by putting all three in one.” Dim lighting, spotlights and surround-sound playing Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” set the tone for the models opening up the domestic violence scene. A female model dressed in black and white with a red accent-patterned scarf posed with a male model complimenting her with black and white attire in the middle of the stage. Their movements depicted a relationship where the male was dominant with attacking stances and angry expressions while the women showed fear through insecure poses. The U-shaped runway extending from the stage gave models space to act out the relationship together, walk away separately, then meet in the middle and exit alone. A common misconception is that only males are the abusers in relationships; however, they showed a couple with a female model taking a dominant role by walking in front of a male model, physically hurting him and acting out arguments. “My favorite part was domestic violence; it was portrayed very well. You could tell they knew what they were talking about and showed what really goes on,” said Joniqua Sanders, a freshman theater arts major. Breast cancer awareness was broken into two separate parts. The first part showcased how patients react to being diagnosed with breast cancer while the sec-
ond part was dedicated to survivors who fought the illness. Five models anchored the stage by striking poses of black and white attire with accents of pink and green. The majority of the models were couplets or singles and represented the breast cancer theme by touching or covering their breasts. Jackson encouraged audience members to get mammograms to detect the illness early on. He also explained that cancer affects people differently, with reactions ranging from hiding it in a state of denial to putting all their strength in fighting. Women models bared all using just their arms and hands to cover their chest with ripped jeans and shorts. The models’ confidence compensated for their lack of tops, showing the pride of all the victims who stay positive and are ready to fight another day. Kristin Jackson, a GLAM model, said she had her nerves under control. “I was very relaxed because I had supporters in the crowd, and president Kendall practiced us enough so I knew I was not going to mess up,” she said. Several models wore all shades of pink, ranging from after-five attire to business casual outfits, all showing the models’ individual style and personality. “My favorite look was at the end. It was a black jacket, white blouse, and hot pink shorts with black, studded sunglasses,” said Miracle Jones, a freshman journalism major. “I liked how the model wore it; she was very confident. I liked her walk.” This first fashion show is reflective of GLAM members revamping their organization. Jackson said the group has reconstructed GLAM to be more like a family than just an organization. “We are truly a family away from home, so if the models don’t think they have a strong family unit, GLAM can provide that for them,” he said.

Review: Big Apple comes to Little Theatre By Samantha Middendorf Entertainment Editor | @Samantha_EE The essence of a big Broadway performance made its way to The Little Theatre on the Square Sunday afternoon when Marisha Wallace stepped on the stage. Wallace, a Broadway performer, returned to the familiar stage in Sullivan, Ill., to perform a concert of both Broadway and pop classics for new and familiar faces. Broadway favorites such as “Don’t Rain on My Parade” from “Funny Girl” and “Maybe This Time” from “Cabaret” were performed by Wallace and enjoyed by the crowded theatre of roughly 80 people. The audience also sang and danced along to popular hits such as “Proud Mary” by Tina and Ike Turner and “Last Dance” by Don-
na Summer. Wallace kept the crowd on their toes throughout her one-woman show by incorporating medleys of different songs between parts of other songs. Crowd participation stole the spotlight throughout the show as Wallace took trips up and down the aisles of the theatre to dance with audience members. A standout moment in the hour-long production was when Wa l l a c e b r o u g h t u p a u d i e n c e members to represent “The Supremes” as they performed “Stop in the Name of Love.” The audience appreciated the extra humor the additional singers onstage provided, but the extra laughs did not stop there. Romance was in the air as the women who portrayed “The Supremes” promptly brought their
husbands up onstage to reenact a performance of “My Girl” by “The Temptations.” The interaction with Wallace and possible embarrassment from those brought onstage sent the crowd into a wave of amusement. These performances in particular were sure to be a crowd-favorite. The audience seemed to be blown away by Wallace’s impeccable range and soaring vocals. Not only could Wallace sing, but she also kept the crowd entertained through storytelling and cracking jokes from time to time. Nothing about the act seemed forced and you could grasp the sense that Wallace was truly excited to be back at the theater where she started her acting career. If you could not tell from her attitude on stage as the curtain rose, you knew by the end of the

Sounds of World expresses culture through dance By Roberto Hodge Multicultural Editor |@BertoHodge Kneeling under a dim spotlight wearing a bright red, translucent dress with gold trim and a matching veil, she slowly rose up, bouncing gently on her feet and waving her arms eloquently. Kalpana Pinninty, a graduate technology major, danced to the Indian song “Des Rangilla,” which is meant to describe the colorful country of India. As Pinninty danced to the music, her dress would flow with her movements; many times the song sped up forcing her to spin rapidly. The performance was part of the annual “Sounds of the World” event Friday, which was hosted by the Association of International Students. “Our country should be colorful in every way, and that’s the meaning of the dance,” Pinninty said. Students from all backgrounds gathered at the event wearing their traditional garb from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. Many times the students would gather on the dance floor smiling, jumping and gyrating to the song of their nation. The students seemed at ease and comfortable in the environment, as they spoke freely in their accent to one another, shouting, whistling and cheering on fellow students who performed. Gracefully moving his body like an elegant ballet dancer, Sunrose Maskey, a freshman psychology major, performed a traditional Napali dance to Shakira’s “Waka Waka.” Posing and moving his body to the song, audience members would clap and cheer on his dancing, as he has done this before in front of the president and prime minister of Nepal and India. In between the dancing and performances, the show was broken up with mini games for audience members to participate in keeping them on their feet throughout the night. Members of the association of international

students would open up the floor to the audience to play games like musical chairs, M&M counting and even a cultural trivia game.
One mini game had audience members dancing chest-to-chest with a balloon in between them. They would move to the beat of
the song without popping the object. Aside from the dances and mini games, there were also performances by students singing and playing instruments. One student sat in front of the audience and played oud, which is a Middle Eastern guitar. Reaab Bukhari, a freshman technology major who performed on the guitar, said he has been playing the oud for 10 years and is selftaught. Bukhari said he plays three different instruments. The song he played is from Saudi Arabia. Bukhari said he loves the feeling of playing instruments and plays from his heart. He said he even performs with his friends back in Saudi Arabia. One the performances had as many as seven women on the dance floor, all wearing colorful dresses ranging from bright orange to violet and flailing their arms, hips and legs to a Bollywood mash-up. Their performance, deceptive with a calm instrument playing, soothed the audience members before a beat drop allowed the girls to be more energetic in their dancing. Many of the women would dance in a circle bending their bodies down and picking them back up clapping; the crowd loved it—especially the men as they would all clap and cheer calling for more. Mellowing out the evening was a Chinese flute performance by Xueting Sun, a graduate accounting major. She played “Bamboo by the Moonlight” using a hulusi, which is a Chinese wind instrument with a gourd mouthpiece. Sun said the performance is a love song about a girl in love with a boy. “They depict their own country’s element and it makes the performance unique,” said Shifa Shamim, the president of the association.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
Rauner can do it best Dear editor: In the recent debate between Governor Quinn and Bruce Rauner, his challenger for governor, Rauner made clear that he is the best candidate for governor. Given his background, he has the skill and judgment of one who can be a good governor who knows what all of the people of Illinois need, a business climate which favors private sector growth in the economy, not government spending, not crony capitalism, but private sector economic growth. Do we want jobs? Go for growth! Do we want higher wages? Go for growth as business leaders offer higher pay to better candidates in a shrinking job pool. Even if Mike Madigen continues as House Speaker, we should remember that the governor has a line item veto, giving him added leverage in legislation. Are some unhappy with Rauner on social issues? Vote for him anyway. We are living in a social climate where Mr. Perfect is not available. People dedicated to the social issues can carry the cause through other avenues. The author Mark Levin has good ideas about amending the Constitution. Sorry, we cannot expect Rauner to do just everything, but he is by far the best candidate for governor, especially about the Illinois economy, the most serious issue in the near and intermediate future for the people of Illinois. Yours, Leonidas H. Miller, Mattoon, Ill.

STAFF EDITORIAL
‘Catfish’ speaker a good call for UB With the annual bullying conference coming up, the University Board booked Nev Schulman, the host of “Catfish: The TV Show,” to present to students the dangers of cyber-bullying. This latest person to come to Eastern shows both good foresight and planning from the UB. While it is hard, given the size of the school and the money we have, to hire big name acts, it is a small comfort when the university is able to land somebody the student body can relate to. Schulman’s show, and his credibility—he will be releasing a book on online dating and cyber-bullying—give weight to the heavy subject and is relatable to the students. Rather than promote a singular event where a professor or somebody of the nature will come and present, the UB were able to get a familiar face to students, and a face with prominence. Beginning with Maci Bookout, star of MTV’s “Teen Mom” and “16 and Pregnant” coming to Eastern to present on the dangers of teen pregnancy, the recent trend of getting celebrity names into Eastern seems to be picking up. Not only were the UB members able to secure Schulman for this particular event, they also realized that they needed someone like him ahead of time. The planning that went into this event should not be overlooked.
When it comes to promoting Eastern and the type of events the university plans, it is easy to say there is a disconnect between what those planning the events and those attending wants. But, given the nearly 600 people who showed up to Bookout last year, sometimes Eastern gets it right. Melanie Kaderabek, the vice chairwoman of the UB, said they are banking on ticket sales to make up the difference because the UB asked for a raise in student fees to accommodate Schulman. She also said the future of speakers such as Schulman will depend on if the ticket sales produce positive results. Despite being the Thursday of Fall Break, and given the amount of people who attended Bookout’s event, it is a good sign it will succeed. However, if it does not succeed, the UB should not give up on trying to get people like Schulman here. Giving the subject matter something that carries weight, and putting a familiar face behind it is a great way to reach out to students in college. It goes a long way to promote Eastern too, especially if the trend of MTV celebrities keeps going the way it is. This is something the people want, and it should hopefully succeed. The daily editorial is the majority opinion of the editorial board of The Daily Eastern News.
Labeling others helps no one In an interview with Oprah earlier this month, childhood star of “The Cosby Show” and “That’s so Raven” Raven Symoné declared her dislike for labels. On the more controversial side, she declared that she was not “African-American,” but simply just an “American.” When Symoné mentioned this opinion, I stepped back to think about why we refer to people by their race, and I could only come up with one reason: people are ignorant to the changes of the world. She backed this statement up by talking about the fact that she does not know much about her roots in Africa or from what country her family originally came. However, she talks about how she knows her roots in Louisiana. Later, after much controversy had passed, the star stated, “What I really mean by that is I’m an American. That’s what I really mean. I have darker skin. I have a nice, interesting grade of hair. I connect with Caucasian. I connect with Asian. I connect with Black. I connect with Indian. I connect with each culture.”
Becky Nelson These statements and opinions struck a chord with me, as since I was a young child, teachers have engrained in me the ideals of how America is the greatest and most accepting place on Earth. However, if it were the most accepting place on Earth, why do we continue to categorize certain groups of people? When people look at me, they do not automatically equate me with EuropeanAmericans or Irish-Americans, nor would I refer to myself as European or Irish if asked of my ethnicity. It seems silly to me to consider myself anything else because all I know of those lands are the stories I’ve been told through
the years. The one thing that ties this country together is the fact that everyone came here seeking a happier life, which hopefully each of our ancestors found. Symoné makes an excellent point when she wants to be referred to as just an American. In America, the “land of the free,” we need to stop seeing categories and colors. Colors are unimportant, and judging people based on their skin tone is just a way of showing one’s true ignorance to the world. Even beyond colors, categories based on sexual orientation and gender work against basic human rights and stomp on the essence of what America has become. Until everyone stops seeing color and just sees others as human beings, racism and categories in this country will continue to exist, and people will continue to be upset with their own home. Becky Nelson is a freshman chemistry major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or rdnelson@eiu.edu.

Thodos Dance Chicago’s performance did not end at the draw of the final curtain. The dance company tied its collection of history-inspired dances together with a group discussion delving into the artistic process. Dancers performed a two-act event, “A Light in the Dark,” to an audience of about 90 people Friday in The Theatre of the Doudna Fine Arts Center. The first act, which the performance is named after, told the story of Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. “A Light in the Dark” portrayed the sufferings and successes of Keller, who was blind and deaf, including how she learned to read and speak from the teachings of Sullivan. The second act was comprised of five dances, ranging in variety of composers and choreography. “A Salute to Old Friends, Agnes de Mile” offered a lighthearted dance set to late ‘40s tunes, while “Lullaby” gave a futuristic feel with intense movement and

strong spotlights. Although the show concluded with “Lullaby,” the curtains rose again to show a dozen chairs placed on stage. All dancers of Thodos Dance Chicago and Melissa Thodos, founder and artistic director of the company, sat for a post performance talkback with the audience. Audience members were encouraged to talk with the artists about the performance, the company and the life of a dancer. “We at Thodos Dance Chicago value all our dancers, and being an active educator is a critical component,” Thodos said. Thodos said there are three components to being an artist for the company: dancers, choreographers and educators. “Keeping all three of these in mind is what keeps the art form alive,” she said. One audience member began the questioning by asking what training was involved in learning to portray Helen Keller. Tenely Dorrill, who played Helen Keller, said there had to be a balance of acting and dancing to give the audience a believable performance.
“A lot of it was very much trying not to look at what you are doing,” she said. “Telling a story and including technique are both important.” The discussion allowed those who were not experienced in dance to ask questions about what they saw. Many of the audience’s questions related to what the dancers thought the theme was to a particular piece. “Lullaby” and “Hopelandic” were two the audience wanted an in-depth look at. Dancer Jessica Miller Tomlinson discussed choreographer Brian Enos’ vision for his piece “Lullaby.” “His music drove the vision,” Miller Tomlinson said. “The beginning was very abstract, but by the end it included controlled movements from his strong ballet background.” It was learned that “Hopelandic,” the second to last piece in the second act, was an ensemble about three powerful women helping each other. “Each dancer represents a different facet of a woman,” Miller Tomlinson said. “The first solo
shows someone strong. The second is a woman who is emotional. The third is one who shows an enormous level of joy.” Another dancer, Lauren Zimmerer, said sometimes a piece is not meant to have personal meaning to every individual. “Sometimes viewing a dance is like looking at a picture and you can like it for something as simple as its colors,” Zimmerer said. “Let it be obvious, but when it’s not, it’s not.” Dwight Vaught, the director of Doudna, said Thodos Dance Company was asked back to Eastern after the success of their spring performance “White City.” “This is the first time a dance company has revisited The Theatre in such as short span of time,” he said. Thodos said performing at Doudna has been a rewarding experience. “You have such a special community,” she said. “It was such a treat to begin our first of many tour shows for the season here.” Megan Ivey can be reached at 581-2812 or at mkivey@eiu.edu.
ENROLLMENT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 CUPB looks at different ways to increase enrollment numbers and student representation on the board. A recent visit from Dearth to Charleston High School brought in 25 students, who made their decision about attending on-sight. Dearth said another initiative for enrollment is reaching out to students and parents much earlier in the process to communicate to them the opportunities Eastern has to offer. He said future plans for enrollment include providing in-state tuition to bordering states such as Indiana and Missouri.
“Moving forward, we are looking at our primary market; we are going to name it the State of EIU,” Dearth said. CUPB members also reviewed the possibility of expanding student representation in the council to graduate students, which in the past has only been offered to undergraduates. Student Body President Reginald Thedford said the goal is to have the best student representation in CUPB.
“By limiting it to an undergraduate student, that limits the best representation,” Thedford said. CUPB member Jack Cruikshank said the number of graduate students is small and some are relatively new to Eastern. “If it is a graduate student that hasn’t been here that long, then that is at the discretion of whoever is appointing him,” Thedford said. CUPB member Mona Davenport said there is the
possibility that many students might not understand the position and as result not apply. “We don’t want to not have representation here I would think, and that’s why they are trying to put in that clause for just in case,” she said. A decision on the issue of student representation will be discussed in the next council meeting. Debby Hernandez can be reached at 581-2812 or dhernandez5@eiu.edu.

Women’s tennis finishes 9-8 at SIU By Sean Hastings Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports
MICHELLE MARBAN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS
Junior setter Marah Bradbury sets the ball during the Panthers’ home volleyball game on Saturday in Lantz Arena. The Panthers lost to Murray State Friday, but had a five-set victory over Austin Peay Saturday.
Volleyball splits weekend matches By Blake Nash Staff Reporter | @Banash5 The Eastern volleyball team wrapped up its first home stand of the season, with a loss to Murray State Friday and a five-set victory over the Austin Peay Governors on Saturday in Lantz Arena. The Racers were able to bounce back after suffering an opening set loss, 25-18, and took the next three sets 26-24, 25-23 and 25-23 for the victory. Reigning Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week, Scottie Diggs, led her team with 20 kills and 12 digs. On Saturday, the Panthers erupted right out of the gate, for an early two-game advantage, 25-22 and 25-17, before dropping the next two sets, 25-21 and 25-23. Then, they took an early 6-1 lead in the final set, en route to a 15-7 victory for the game and
match. Eastern improved to 8-11 overall and 2-4 in OVC play. Following Saturday’s win, Eastern head coach Kate Price said that the final game needed to be finished quickly because of the shortness of the final set. “I think we came out with the mindset of thinking we had come out a little tentative in that (fourth set),” Price said. “That last win needed to happen and if we were going to make it happen, it was going to have to be in a quick, short span of time because of the fact it’s a short game.” Four Panther attackers recorded double-digit kills each day, including Abby Saalfrank and Maria Brown, who recorded double-doubles on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Brown, making her debut in the back row Saturday, recorded 16 kills, 21 digs, as well as three blocks in Saturday’s win. Fri-
day she connected with 14 kills and two blocks. “With the front row, you only get so many digs,” Brown said. “This was my first game playing back row, so there was a really good chance to get that double-double and it felt great to get it.” Junior Chelsea Lee followed Brown with 15 kills and six digs, while newcomers Allie Hueston and Josie Winner followed with 13 and 10 kills, respectively. Saalfrank picked up her 11th career double-double, and ninth on the season, recording 12 kills and 10 digs on Friday. She is currently averaging 3.15 kills and 2.51 digs per set this season. Fellow junior Chelsea Lee led the Panthers that night with 18 kills, one assist, one dig and four blocks. “Murray State definitely picked up their game at the end, especially with how they
were hitting the ball,” Lee said “Also our game definitely dropped. Those two factors combined is what definitely determined the game.” The Panthers combined for 21 total blocks against the Racers, six of which came from Allie Hueston. She also finished with 11 kills, one dig and one assist. “In the first part of the game, we had a game plan, which is the reason we were getting blocks,” Brown said. “But in the second set they adjusted, and started hitting light, and we didn’t adjust to that well.” The Panthers will now hit the road for the next two weeks, traveling to TennesseeMartin and Southeast Missouri State, with 7 p.m. and 5 p.m. start times on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Blake Nash can be reached at 581-2812 or banash@eiu.edu.
Men’s soccer loses 2-1 at IUPUI Saturday By Mark Shanahan Staff Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern men’s soccer team remains winless on the road after losing 2-1 at IUPUI on Saturday in Indianapolis, Ind. Eastern fell to 2-7-1 and 0-2-1 in conference play, while IUPUI improved to 3-6-1 and added its first win in Summit League play. Freshman Uriel Macias scored his fourth and fifth goals of the year for IUPUI and one proved to be the game winner in the 65th minute. Freshman Emmanuel Usen assisted on both of Macias’ goals. Another freshman Joshua Ayala assisted on the game winner. Junior goalkeeper Eduardo Cortes earned the win by making six saves and giving up one goal. Freshman Mike Novotny was in net for Eastern and he made six saves, while giving up two goals. Spencer Filosa just missed giving Eastern the lead in the 14th minute, when his shot hit off the left post from 25 yards out. IUPUI then struck first, when Novotny knocked down Usen’s initial shot and the rebound went to the left side, where Macias was there to kick the ball past Eastern defenders for the goal.

Senior forward Tayron Martin sends the ball in during a free kick in a game against Denver on Oct. 4 at the Eastern practice field. The Panthers tied the game 1-1 in double overtime. The Panthers lost to IUPUI on Saturday 2-1 to drop to 0-2-1 in the OVC and 2-7-1 overall.
Less than a minute before the half Dominic Recca sent the ball to the middle, where Tyler Oliver was breaking for the ball and got a breakaway after an IUPUI defender fell down, Oliver sent a center pass to Victor Krogmann, who then scored the goal for
Eastern. For the game winner, Usen passed the ball out wide to Macias, who took the shot that Novotny deflected into the air, but it came down and took a favorable bounce for IUPUI into the net. Tayron Martin had a good look in
the 83rd minute that Cortes made a save on. IUPUI had a 21-17 shot advantage. Macias and Williams each had five shot attempts for IUPUI, while Filosa had four attempts on the game for Eastern. Eastern head coach Mark Hansen said he would like the team to do some things better. “We have got to show more heart and compete more,” he said. “It was a very winnable game for us.” Eastern is on the road again Monday against Bradley and then the Panthers return home for three straight games. Bradley is currently 4-7 this year and they have lost three of their last four games. Cody Lofgren is Bradley’s leading scorer with five goals and four assists. Lofgren scored against Eastern last year. Logan Ketterer has started seven games at goal and has a 3-4 record. Shay Niemeyer has also played at goalie and has a 1-3 record. Bradley is 4-4 in non-conference play while Eastern is 2-5 in non-conference play. Eastern trails the all time series to Bradley 8-15-2 and defeated Eastern 1-0 last year.

The Eastern women’s tennis team competed at the SIU Saluki Invitational and finished with a 9-8 overall record in Carbondale on Saturday. The match originally started at the University courts, but because of the weather, the match was moved to the Garden Grove Events Center. Only six of the seven women competed for the Panthers on Saturday, as sophomore Maria Moshteva was not available for Eastern. They played a lot of close matches with a very good team, which impressed Director of Tennis and Eastern coach John Blackburn. Eastern freshman Grace Summers was victorious in one of her two singles matches, defeating her opponent, Meagan Monaghan 2-6, 6-2, 10-4, and later dropping her match with Natasha Tomishima 8-3. Also winning in her only singles match was junior Ali Foster, defeating her opponent, Ariadna Cairo Baza 0-6, 7-5, 10-5. The final Panther winning in one of two singles matches was sophomore Kamile Stadalninkaite. She defeated her opponent, Lauren Hoekstra 8-5, and dropped a match to Hannah Wich in straight sets 0-6, 3-6. The Panthers improved play in doubles matches, going a combined 4-2, which Blackburn said continues to be a strength for the Panthers. The pairing of Summers and senior Sephora Boulbahaiem at No. 1 doubles lost to the pairing of Tomishima and Monaghan 6-8. However, the Eastern duo later beat their opponents 8-6. Foster and junior Hannah Kimbrough defeated Baza and Athena Chrysanthou 8-6 at No. 2 doubles in their first match, but then dropped the second match to Tomishima and Monaghan 8-6. Also victorious in doubles play was Stadalninkatie and fellow sophomore Kelly Iden, winning both matches at No. 3 doubles. Blackburn was very pleased with how the pairing played. The sophomores won their first match against the pairing of Gisela Cairo Baza and Polina Dozortseva 8-6 and the second against Wich and Hoekstra 8-3. “The competitive spirit and the doubles play were probably the strengths,” Blackburn said. The next time that the women will be playing will be at the ITA Regional at the University of Illinois that starts Friday and runs through Monday. That will be the final time the women play before the regular season starts in the spring. Sean Hastings can be reached at 581-2812 or smhastings@eiu.edu.

Adam Drake is brought down in the Eastern football team’s home opener on Sept. 7 at O’Brien Field. Drake had a game-high 13 catches, 146 yards and two touchdowns in the Panthers’ 36-33 overtime-loss against Eastern Kentucky at Roy Kidd Stadium in Richmond, Ky.
Eastern fumbles game away at Eastern Kentucky By Aldo Soto Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21 The winning streak is over. Nick Bruno made his fourth field goal of the game, with 9:07 left in the third quarter that gave the Eastern football team a 26-5 lead over Eastern Kentucky Saturday night at Roy Kidd Stadium. It extended his streak, making the Eastern kicker 4-of-4, the Panthers also extended their scoring streak against the Colonels in the red zone. Entering the Ohio Valley Conference game between the two Easterns, Panthers’ head coach Kim Dameron had his sights on his second league win. The Panthers’ conference winning-streak would have been pushed to 15. But the streaks were about to end. After allowing only a field goal in the
first half, the Eastern defense surrendered 28 points in the second half, before they lost in overtime 36-33 in Richmond, Ky. Dating back to their 63-7 home win against Austin Peay on Sept. 20, the Panthers had not committed a turnover. That streak ended near the end of the third quarter Saturday, when Eastern quarterback Jalen Whitlow was hit and then fumbled. The Colonels recovered at their own 28yard line. The comeback was well on its way for Eastern Kentucky. Leading 26-19 in the fourth quarter, the Panthers had a chance to make it a 10-point lead, with a 41-yard field goal attempt. Bruno approached the ball, kicked it, but only saw it reach the line of scrimmage, as Eastern Kentucky blocked the attempt. Bruno’s perfect day was no more. The Colonels proceeded to score a pair
of short-yard touchdowns coming from running back Dy’Shawn Mobley, capping off a 28-0 run in the second half that gave them a 33-26 lead with 4:46 left to play. Eastern had just enough time to respond. On the 11th play of the drive, Whitlow threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Adam Drake on fourth and goal. Bruno’s extra kick was good to tie the game. Regulation ended with Jourdan Wickliffe intercepting his second pass of the game and overtime started with the Panthers on offense. An incomplete pass from Whitlow to Nico Shepherd began the first possession of overtime. The next play, a handoff to Shepard Little ended with his second fumble of the game, Eastern Kentucky recovered, needing only a field goal to win. After three rushes by Mobley, Eastern
Kentucky head coach Dean Hood called his field-goal unit on to the field on third down, with the ball at the 11-yard line. Andrew Lloyd made the 29-yard attempt, giving the Colonels a 36-33 overtime win. The Panthers’ 14-game OVC winning streak was snapped. Eastern is now 1-5 this season, 1-1 in conference play. Following the game Dameron said the most painful part of the defeat was that the game was in the Panthers’ hands and they let it slip away. After winning the turnover battle in the previous two games, Eastern tied 3-3 with the Comoles, but after not making any through the first 43 minutes the Panthers committed three in the last 17 minutes plus overtime. Little’s first fumble came when he could not secure an Eastern Kentucky punt. The red-shirt junior fumbled at the Eastern 18-
yard line, as the Colonels ended up with the ball at the 14-yard line. Mobely rushed in from one yard out to tie the game at 26, with 9:25 left in the fourth quarter. Whitlow, who ended the game with 88 rushing yards, one rushing touchdown, while throwing two passing touchdowns as well, had his fumble near the end of the third quarter lead to a Jared McClain fiveyard touchdown pass to Devin Borders that made it 26-19, with 13:04 left to play in the fourth quarter. Drake had a game-high 13 receptions, 146 yards and two receiving touchdowns for the Panthers, with most of his work coming in the first half. Besides its 26-5 lead in the third quarter, it also had a 23-5 lead at halftime. Aldo Soto can be reached at 581-2812 or asoto2@eiu.edu.
First-half hat trick sinks Panthers By Dominic Renzetti Assistant Sports Editor | @domrenzetti Three goals in the first half by Jacksonville State’s Jackie Rush sunk the Eastern women’s soccer team on the road Sunday, bringing the Panthers’ Ohio Valley Conference record to 1-41. The loss puts the Panthers’ hopes of making the OVC tournament in further jeopardy, giving Eastern just four points with four matches remaining in the regular season. Rush scored her first goal in the 10th minute. Eastern goalkeeper Emily Hinton was involved in a collision on the play while attempting to make a save. Hinton was slow to get up, but remained in the match. The Panthers can’t afford to lose another goalkeeper, with Hinton the only active keeper on the roster. The Panthers lost last year’s starter, Cortney Jerzy, prior to the season with a concussion. Red-shirt sophomore Kylie Morgan suffered an injured shoulder in the final non-conference match of the season against Valparaiso and has
been out since. Rush got her second goal of the match in the 18th minute, with Courtney Hurt and Kelsey Bright assisting. Rush sealed the hat trick in the 32nd minute with an unassisted goal. The Panthers got on the board in the 38th minute when senior Madison Carter scored her third goal of the weekend off an assist from red-shirt senior Lauren Hoppensteadt. Neither team was able to find the back of the net in the second half, giving Jacksonville State the win. The Gamecocks now have nine points in the OVC standings and are currently in a three-way tie for fourth place with Austin Peay and Southeast Missouri. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and Murray State are atop the conference with 12 points each, with Morehead State close behind with 11. TennesseeMartin has 10 points. Belmont has five points, while Eastern and Eastern Kentucky each have four points. Tennessee Tech has one point. The top six teams make the conference tournament. Eastern returns to Lakeside Field for
its last two home matches of the season this Friday and Sunday. Eastern hosts Murray State at 3 p.m. Friday, then Tennessee-Martin at 1 p.m. Sunday. Saturday’s game Two overtimes were not enough to decide Saturday’s match between the Eastern women’s soccer team and Tennessee Tech, as the pair of Ohio Valley Conference teams played to a 2-2 draw in Cookeville, Tenn. Originally scheduled for 3 p.m. Friday, heavy rains canceled the match, turning the Panthers’ weekend road trip schedule of matches on Friday and Sunday to back-to-back matches on Saturday and Sunday. Tennessee Tech, which entered the match winless in the OVC, got on the board first off a corner kick from freshman defender Mary Francis Hoots in the ninth minute. Junior Taylor Blazei was credited with the assist. The Panthers responded with two goals from senior forward Madison Carter. HAT TRICK, page 7
