Students have an opportunity to develop their network skills and meet employers at the upcoming Career Network & Diversity Fair.
The fair is from noon until 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. Universi-ty Union.
The career fair is for students to in-teract and meet potential employers who are looking to fill positions in their company.
This can be an internship in the upcoming summer of 2015 or even a job for the following year after grad-uation.
This career network fair happens twice a year.
With a luncheon before the fair, it is for students who are members of panther recruiting plus, which is an online membership and database where students can have their resumes up online, and have their names out first to employers if there is employ-ment available.
All companies attending are avail-able online at eiu.edu/careers.
Along with the list of employers, it also lets students know which compa-nies have internship opportunities.
Students can expect to get a possi-ble internship or even a job, said Talia Persico, who works at career services.
Interviews with employers are Thursday and Friday through career services.
It is free and open to all students.Bring multiple copies of your re-
sume and look presentable in busi-ness attire.
“The Career Fair is a perfect expe-rience for future employment. This is
a great opportunity to put your foot in the door with various employers all under one roof,” Persico said.
There will be a job fair workshop from 5 p.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Union.
At the job fair workshop, students will learn how to build relationships
and stand out to employers, Persico said.
Reservations are required and can be done by calling career services or registering online.

The HOPE center of East Central Illi-nois will host a benefit at 5 p.m. Friday at Jackson Avenue Coffee.
HOPE, which stands for Housing, Outreach, Prevention and Education, is a non-profit organization that runs a shelter for victims of abuse.
HOPE provides housing for battered women as well as many programs with the goal of decreasing violence in the local community.
These programs include education in lo-cal schools along with counseling designed to empower those affected by domestic vi-olence.
HOPE helps those victimized by do-mestic violence by providing them with ed-ucation, legal assistance, and more.
Dano Reible, the owner of Jackson Av-enue Coffee, said this is the eighth year
that they are having the Night of Hope at the coffeehouse, and that it has been their “busiest night of the year” in the past.
He said they always get lots of support and have been getting a lot of bids on art-work.
The event will include music, food, art and a raffle.
The raffle prizes include a night’s stay at the Trump Tower in Chicago and a sailboat party on Carlyle Lake.
Raffle tickets can be bought in advance or the night of the event.
A silent auction will be going on throughout September.
The silent auction is a part of the Night of Hope where people can bid on pieces from the art gallery.
The Night of Hope will be the last night people can bid in the silent auction.
The evening will begin with music from various artists, starting with Irish Music Circle at 5 p.m.
The band will be followed by The Ex-Bombers at 6 p.m., Jenna Jackley at 7 p.m.
and Motherlode at 8 p.m.Reible said he hopes the Night of
HOPE will have a large turnout at this year’s event and bring awareness for the cause at hand.
“A lot of people who are in abusive re-lationships don’t know that they can get help,” Reible said.
The organizers are attempting to solve this problem by getting more people to know about the HOPE Coalition Against Domestic Violence.
“The Night of Hope is always great for awareness, and we always receive great sup-port from a great community,” Reible said.
The Night of HOPE is open to the public and admission is free.
“Everyone is welcome, and every-one will be working together to celebrate [HOPE],” Reible said.
ROCFest kicks off with a splashBy Luis MartinezStaff Reporter | @DEN_News
Coming out on top Monday at the an-nual ROCFest boat relay race across the Campus Pond, after a five-year dry spell, was Douglas Hall’s silver and pink boat.
Participants had to rush across the pond in boats made exclusively out of cardboard and duct tape, whether it was to stay afloat or just to win.
While the teams managed to paddle across the hall during their first run, one by one boats started coming apart, as the wa-ter made its way into the cardboard.
The race quickly changed when pad-dlers had to improvise to continue the race, while their boats fell apart. Many re-sorted to using their arms as paddles.
The teams had to get their residence hall boats across the campus pond three times, with two members pushing the boat into the water and one paddling across the pond. Once a team member made it across the pond, a new member had to paddle back.
Thomas Hall’s team said they spent a few hours during the past few days in or-der to prepare for the race. The Douglas Hall team experienced difficulties with their boat at the start of the race.
“The only problem we had was the start when we went down to push and it wouldn’t move,” a Douglas team mem-ber said.
Despite their boat difficulties, members said things went better than they expected.
“It actually felt like being in a real boat,” one of the members said. “It was better than last year when our boat fell apart halfway through the first lap.”
Kadie Peterson, the Residence Hall Association vice president, said she felt ROCFest was off to a good start with the boat relay race.
“It went pretty well, we didn’t have to use lifeguards,” she said. “Most of the boats finished, with the exception of three but it went really well.”
Peterson said she was surprised by the outcome. “I did not expect Douglas to win,” she said. “It was a great turn around.”
Peterson said she hopes to see a good
turnout at this year’s ROCFest. “If atten-dance is anything like what happened to-day, this ROCFest is going to go amaz-ing.” Roughly 100 people circled the pond to see the various teams either sink or to cheer their hall’s boat on.
The winner for the best-looking boat will be announced during the
next RHA meeting.ROCFest will continue with a bingo
game from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday in the Lawson Hall basement.

We’ve probably all been in these situ-ations before, where you’ve either been granted the authority to be the house par-ty DJ or you really really wish you were because man, this music sucks.
There need to be some guidelines in place for house party DJ etiquette and that’s hopefully what I can accomplish here today, but before I continue, I have to say: we are lucky to be alive at this time.
Can you imagine what college was like before mp3s? How did they do it? I’m just imagining stacks and stacks of CDs in broken cases, mismatched with their cor-rect case, scratched beyond belief, many of them probably ended up becoming coast-ers.
We live in an age where we can literally hold Ludacris’ discography in the palm of our hand. It’s a beautiful thing. We need to cherish it.
So, it’s 2014 and we need to start living like it. I’m talking to you, guy DJing an entire party off YouTube from his phone.
If you’re in charge of the music for a party, it should definitely be preload-
ed, meaning played from an MP3 file from your iPod or phone or even laptop if you’re crazy enough to bring your laptop to a party (pro-tip: don’t).
Pandora is bad enough with advertise-ments— we don’t need to hear one before every song, and we definitely don’t need to hear the song stopping and buffering every 12 seconds because you’re streaming it from YouTube. C’mon. Have some respect.
Second, I’m a big believer in respect-ing whosever’s space you’re in, so if there’s already a DJ in place, either listen to their music until they give up their post or politely make a request.
If you are going to make a request, you should ask the DJ if he or she has whatev-
er song you’re looking for, not hand them your greasy iPhone with whatever (proba-bly terrible) song you want to hear. It just makes things easier that way.
The third point is to do as the scouts say and be prepared. If you’re doing it right, you should have a playlist already ready to go that should at least last a few hours.
If you’re doing it on the fly, you should know as soon as you press play what song is going to come next and maybe the next few after that. Nobody wants to hear a song, followed by a minute and a half of silence, followed by a song, followed again by a minute and a half of silence.
The transitions should be smooth and seamless. Can you imagine me reading you my column over the phone, but stopping after every three sentences so I could think of what I was going to say next? Sounds nauseating, and your party will be just that if you don’t follow these guidelines.

The Summer days are drifting away
As Tuesday officially marks the start of the fall season with the autumnal equinox, Charleston weather is about to see its prime.
The autumnal equinox means the day will comprise of a nearly equal amount of day-light and night.
While the equinox signals the transition of less daylight than we were used to in the summer, what we gain from the drop in tem-peratures is worth it.
Maybe you have already noticed the tran-sition.
Do you take a deep breath as you leave class and feel at ease?
Do you find yourself in awe at the notice-able amount of people roaming campus that were not there weeks before?
In a place such as Charleston, where the summers hit heat indexes and the winters produce what can seem to be non stop snow-fall, fall is the season to thrive.
I am most excited to take the first couple of mild weathered weeks to explore the cam-pus and Charleston.
Even with a hectic schedule, students can take advantage and appreciate the beauti-ful campus we attend. Spend any and all free time outside.
A favorite is to grab lunch take it to the Doudna steps. Or spend any free time at the steps.
There you can eat, read or people watch, all while taking in the now less-offensive sun-shine.There is more than the Doudna steps, however.
Too often I see no one spending time on the North and South Quads of campus.
The quads are for student use. Students should be using the green space as more than a route to get from one class to the next.
Bring a Frisbee or football to pass around with friends.
Buy a kite and re-live your elementary school days. The possibilities are endless.
If you do not have free time, turn a task into one. Make studying more bearable by bringing a blanket and sitting under some shade.
I think the best part of the season is hav-ing fun with the most simplistic hobbies.
Studying, walking and exploring can all be fun when you add fresh air and sunshine.
Yes, there are certain stereotypes that asso-ciate with fall (I’m sure my bank account will suffer with the amount of pumpkin spice lattes I purchase). Even so, they are stereo-types for a reason.
This is one of the times I say jump on the bandwagon. Go apple picking. Carve pump-kins. Watch football. Plan a ton of coffee dates.
The stereotypical experiences are not bad if you can create lasting memories from them.

If ever there was a perfect microcosm of the problems with American politics, it’s likely the continuous fights over raising the minimum wage, both federally and in Illinois.
Here, we have an issue that is both moral and economic; has been convoluted by misinformation (or, as we should really call it, propaganda); has given fair balance and credence to two oth-erwise unbalanced and unequal sides of debate; has produced essentially two talking points from two sides of the aisle; and has, since becoming a national issue, largely been marked for death by deep pockets and private lobbyists.
And so, because of all these factors, the debate over minimum wage increases (again, both at the federal and state level) has been framed as one of moral, economic and political gray areas, of extremely complex and unpredictable consequences.
And while the extent to which we should extend the mini-mum wage is absolutely a complicated question, there’s some-thing we feel bears repeating: not paying employees a livable, decent wage is not just morally unacceptable, but it’s also finan-cially ruinous. The difference, of course, is that those who can afford to weather such financial ruin are rarely the ones who feel such blowback.
We feel raising the minimum wage should not even be an issue anymore.
At it’s current $7.25 rate, the annual income for a full-time employee working at the minimum wage is a dismal $15,080 —less than $4,000 above the national poverty line. That means that, in a country that prides itself on the idea that “every person can make it if they’re willing to work,” a single fast-food employ-ee working a standard workweek of 40-hours would barely quali-fy as having an economically livable life.
For a country so proud of its work ethic, of its “we can all make it” promotions, that’s embarrassing.
Coupled with the fact that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, an increased federal minimum wage to just $9 an hour would reduce employment by less than .01 percent, it becomes increasingly clear that even a minor increase would be wholly-beneficial to the working force.
And yet, politicians and voters alike continue with this fight, the same tired and baseless points recycled over and over, claims like “minimum wage jobs are only supposed to be temporary,” or the oft-touted “this will kill jobs.”
The latter, we feel, speaks volumes to the increasing corporat-ism of America, placing the wallets of business owners over the basic necessities, livelihoods and survival of the same workers who help them turn profits in the first place.
It’s a line of reasoning that, unfortunately, seems to paral-lel a growing trend of income inequality in this country. That, at a time when inequality is at its highest rate since the Great Depression, at a time when 1 percent of Americans own 40 per-cent of the nation’s wealth, we still place blame on the worker, is a testament to just how easily the powerful and privileged can buy public opinion.
That we care more about a Walmart CEO, who makes more in one hour than most of his employees make in a year, than we care about a single mother trying to feed our child through a job at Walmart, isn’t just extremely disturbing, it’s morally con-founding.
Wage increases should not even be a debate

For three years, about 35 faculty mem-bers from various departments have been meeting and forming reading groups in order to take part in discussions on how to better their teaching and communica-tion skills.
The reading groups, which are part of Eastern’s faculty development office, gears itself toward promoting faculty morale and facilitating timely responses to situa-tions.
Dagni Bredesen, the director of facul-ty development, said once the groups de-
cide on when and how often they want to meet, members then decide on how much they want to read and their choice of books.
Faculty development members also participate with Making Excellence Inclu-sive for the first time this semester.
Making Excellence Inclusive deals with identifying how not to stereotype people and ways of inclusion — both in and out of classroom settings.
Reading group members spend an en-tire semester on one book, which is pro-vided to them, and many of the books chosen are related in someway to teaching and institutional concerns, Bredesen said.
Bredesen said the reading groups gar-ner positive feedback. She added the groups add ideas to instructors for teach-ing.
In the past, the members have read “Teaching Naked,” by José Antonio Bow-en, “The Courage to Teach,” by Parker J. Palmer and a few others.
Currently, members of the reading groups are reading the “Whistling Vival-di,” by Claude M. Steele, which teaches others of how not to stereotype those who may be different.
Early on in the novel, there is an ex-cerpt about an African-American male who noticed whenever he walked near
those who were white, they seemed to tense up.
In order for them not to be scared and see him as a threat, he would whis-tle classical music. The male instantly no-ticed how whites would relax after hearing that he wasn’t a threat; he did this so they would know he was harmless — even though he was more frightened of them.
Bredesen said similar groups at North-western Illinois University and Elon Uni-versity in North Carolina have also used the novel.
“I felt like this would be a great book for our campus.” Bredesen said. “What we thought was important was forming
inter-disciplinary dialogue about shared interests and concerns.”
Bredesen said there are ways individ-uals affect one another that goes unrec-ognized and how stereotypes can impact faculty influencing how they react to stu-dents in classroom settings.
From this novel, faculty members will be able to be a little more sensitive to those who are different, Bredesen said.
“(It’s) a shared language for discussing fraught topics like stereotype threat and micro aggressions,” Bredesen said.
For sidewalk parties, stations will be set up throughout campus with differ-ent RSOs manning the stations.
Each station will have different games and activities that students as well as staff and faculty can partake in.
Not only attempting to grasp sup-port from the campus, Knoechel and
the homecoming committee will be at-tempting to reach out to the Charles-ton community through the their first ever coloring contest.
The contest will start on Oct. 13 and will go throughout the week be-fore homecoming. Charleston Ele-mentary School students from kinder-
garten through third grade are the tar-geted crowd for this contest, Knoechel said.
“EIU is really trying to reach out to the community, we want people to know that we are not just a universi-ty here,” Knoechel said. “We actual-ly care.”
The contest will give kids a chance to win different prizes and the board will announce the winner at the home-coming game.
Knoechel said her vision of home-coming is just to strengthen the unity between the students, staff and faculty through homecoming festivities.
“I just want to unite the students as one big body, so they can have a good time and they can celebrate Eastern because that’s what homecoming is all about.” Knoechel said.

The Eastern rugby team had its game against Southern Illi-nois-Carbondale canceled Sat-urday because the Salukis did not have enough players to fill out their roster because of in-juries.
Eastern coach Frank Grazia-no said the Panthers plan to re-schedule this game on Nov. 2, as a home game at Lakeside Field.
This is the third time this season the Panthers have had a game canceled. The first
two were because of schedul-ing conflicts and those have no plans to be rescheduled.
Graziano said the Panthers were told on Thursday about this cancelation, so the team had enough time to tell parents who had made plans to head down to Carbondale.
Graziano turned his Satur-day into a three-hour practice, which he said was the best of the season.
“I was really happy with the attitude the girls brought,” he said. “Initially they were a little disappointed they didn’t get to play, but we put that behind us
and had a great practice. It was intense. It was fast and the kids were in a good mood. Oth-er than playing a game, we got the next best thing.”
The team still watched film on Sunday for three hours, which is the normal after a Sat-urday game.
The Panthers will open its home schedule at 3 p.m. Sat-urday at Lakeside Field against Tennessee.
The Eastern women’s basket-ball 2014-15 schedule was re-leased on Thursday.
Eastern will play 13 home games, five of which are non-conference games and one in-cluding the return of Katlyn Payne, who transferred from Eastern to Northern Illinois over the summer for non-bas-ketball reasons.
Eastern will host Northern on Nov. 26 at 2 p.m.
The Panthers will also par-
ticipate in two tournaments, including one in North Texas on Nov. 21 through the 23rd, where they will face Florida State and North Texas.
Eastern will also participate in the Arizona State Wells Far-go Holiday Tournament De-cember 21 and 22. Those matchups are to be announced.
Eastern will kick off its sea-son and home schedule against the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Nov. 15 at 2 p.m.
Other non-confe rence games include home against
Nebraska-Omaha on Decem-ber 5, Illinois-Chicago on Dec. 14 and St. Louis on Dec. 28.
The Panthers will travel to Indianapolis to take on IU-PUI on Nov. 18, also head to Loyola-Chicago, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Western Illi-nois to finish their non-confer-ence road schedule.
The Panthers will have 16 conference games this season, eight of which are at home.
Eastern’s conference games will be played normally on a Wednesday, Thursday or Sat-urday.
The will kickoff the confer-ence schedule on New Year’s Day against Tennessee Tech at home at 1 p.m.
Eastern finished last season with a record of 12-16 and a conference record of 7-9.
The Panthers season ended with a 75-52 loss in the Ohio Valley Conference tournament quarterfinals against Western Kentucky.
Last season, Eastern lost to North-ern Illinois, which is also in the MAC, 43-39.
The Bobcats are 2-2 and are com-ing off a 36-24 home win against Ida-ho. Ohio scored more than 17 points for the first time since its season opener on Aug. 30, when the Bobcats beat Kent State 17-14.
Ohio head coach Frank Solich said his team is preparing the same way this week as it would against an FBS-level opponent.
“We know the quality of the pro-gram and the quality of the play-ers (Eastern) has,” Solich said. “We’ll prepare for this one the same way we prepare for all of our football games. Every game, if you’re not playing your best you can be defeated.”
Since 1989, Eastern has five wins against FBS programs, with four of those coming against teams from the MAC. The latest win over a MAC team for the Panthers was on Sept. 25, 2004, when they defeated Eastern Michigan 31-28.
The Panthers lost 42-20 to Min-nesota to start their season this year. Eastern is 1-2 in its last three games against FBS schools.
Around the OVCSoutheast Missouri defeated
Southeastern Louisiana 24-23 Satur-day in Cape Girardeau, Mo., as Paul McRoberts caught a two-yard game-winning touchdown pass with four seconds left.
McRoberts and quarterback Kyle Snyder led the Redhawks defeat the school’s highest-ranked opponent in program history as Southeastern Lou-isiana entered the game ranked No. 3 in the FCS.
McRoberts finished the game with seven catches for 89 yards and two touchdown receptions. Snyder com-pleted 16-of-31 passes for 141 yards to go along with his pair of touch-down passes. He also carried the ball 17 times for 95 yards.
Snyder’s biggest run came with the final seconds ticking off the clock. On 3rd-and-10, 17 yards away from the end zone, Snyder rushed for 15 yards up the middle of the field down to the two-yard line. The next play he delivered the game-winning touch-down pass to McRoberts. Both play-ers were named co-OVC Offensive Player of the Week.
The Redhawks improved to 2-2 and begin conference play at Tennes-see-Martin at 6 p.m. Saturday.
Eastern Kentucky remained unde-feated, as the Colonels beat Tennes-see-Martin 49-24 on the road to be-gin OVC play at 1-0 and improved to 4-0 overall. The Colonels are the only team in the conference without a loss.
Running back Dy’Shawn Mob-ley scored three rushing touchdowns, running for 183 yards for Eastern Kentucky. He had 11 carries, averag-ing 16.6 yards per attempt.
Mobley had touchdown runs of 14, 68 and a career-high 75 yards, which came in the third quarter. He was also named co-OVC Newcom-er of the Week along with Eastern’s Whitlow.
Both Whitlow and Mobley were teammates at Kentucky for the previ-ous two seasons before transferring to their respective schools in the OVC.
Johnson came in for the last three innings and threw three scoreless in-nings. She allowed no hits, five strike-outs, and two walks.
She did have some nerves com-ing in to pitch because it was her first time pitching against a college team, but said after a few pitches she was able to relax.
Eastern had 13 hits with Johnson leading the way going 3-for-4. O’Dell went 2-for-3. Junior Haylee Beck, se-nior Hannah Cole and freshman Ash-ley Tokarski each contributed 2 RBIs.
Nicholson was most pleased with how the team hit this weekend.
“Our hitting was phenomenal,” she said.
Nicholson said she was really im-pressed with how consistent the hit-ting was, but knows not every game will be perfect
“Of course we made some young mistakes, which I did expect, but the fact that we are able to see those mis-takes no and correct them is what the fall is all about,” she said.
Johnson led the team with a .769 batting average going 10-for-13 over the weekend.
“I was really happy with how I was hitting helping contribute to the team,” Johnson said.
Johnson also said that there is a big difference from high school to col-lege.
“The level of play in high school is totally different from college, where in college you have to focus and be thinking two plays ahead of time,” she said.
The Panthers will be back at Wil-liams Field on Saturday and Sunday to finish off their fall season.
They will host Illinois Central Col-lege at noon and Wabash College at 4 p.m. on Saturday.
Eastern will take on Lake Land College in a double header Sunday at 11 a.m., with the second game sched-uled for 1 p.m.
Aubuchon had a goals against av-erage of 1.37 last season, making 101 total saves. Aubuchon was a first team All-OVC selection.
The Redhawks do return second team All-OVC selection Natasha Mi-nor, who finished with a team-high 12 points. Minor started 16 matches last year as a true freshman. So far, she has just one goal this year.
Also returning are sophomore
Christina Rohde and senior Bre-ana Beine, who were members of the OVC All-Newcomer team last year. Rohde started 18 matches last year as a true freshman and was twice named OVC Player of the Week.
Beine, who sat out 2012 after transferring from Evansville start-ed 17 matches and registered a goal against Eastern last October. A na-tive of St. Peters, Mo., Beine attended
Francis Howell Central High School in Cottleville, Mo., the same high school as Eastern’s Lindsey Marino and Cassie Willhite.
Eastern and Southeast Missouri open OVC play at 3 p.m. Friday at Lakeside Field.
The Eastern women’s golf team fin-ished in last place out of seven teams in the Saluki Shootout in Carbon-dale during the weekend at the par-72 Hickory Ridge Golf Course.
The Panthers finished with a team total of 644, which was 28 strokes be-hind the sixth-place finisher Evans-ville.
Senior Tiffany Wolf led the Pan-thers with another impressive two rounds.
Wolf shot a two round total of 158 (78,80) for a second-consecutive top-20 finish for the season.
Freshman Chloe Wong finished six strokes behind Wolf, shooting a 164. Fellow freshman Hannah Magda fin-ished 32nd overall as an individual for Eastern.
Magda shot a combined score of 167 for the two rounds.
Alex Pickens and Annie Getzin fin-ished with a 170 and a 172, respec-tively for the Panthers.
The host, Southern Illinois-Car-bondale, won the team title with rounds of 299 and 302 as a team. Mattie Lindner led the Salukis with rounds of a 1-under 71 and a 3-over 75 and also tied for the individual ti-tle with a two-day score of two-over par.
Lindner was also the only golfer in the tournament to shoot an under-par round.
The Salukis also had two other players in the top-10. Brook Cusama-no finished fourth with scores of 76 and 73. Kris Grimes tied for seventh
with scores of 76 and 75 for the two rounds.

JASON HOWELL | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WSJunior quarterback Jalen Whitlow runs with the ball down field against Austin Peay Saturday at O'Brien Field. Whitlow set an Eastern record, with 137 rushing yards by a quarterback, as the Panthers won 63-7.
By Aldo SotoSports Editor | @AldoSoto21
Eastern quarterback Jalen Whit-low was named co-Ohio Valley Con-ference Newcomer of the Week, fol-lowing the Panthers’ win Saturday over Austin Peay.
Whitlow, who transferred from Kentucky, set a new Eastern rushing record from a quarterback, carrying the ball 15 times for 137 yards, while scoring two touchdowns and throwing two more.
The junior started his third game this season and for the first time, East-ern head coach Kim Dameron kept
Whitlow into the second half.
In the Pan-thers’ first three games, Whitlow and red-shirt se-n ior Andrew Manley shared playing time. Dameron said the main reason Whitlow played
the majority of the game against Aus-tin Peay was because of his running ability.
“I felt we didn’t do much of the QB run play in the first couple games
and we felt that we’re in league (play) and this was the week to break it out,” Dameron said.
Whitlow also passed for 159 yards on 13-of-15 pass at-tempts.
Eastern de-fensive back Antoine Johnson also earned conference honors, as the ju-nior defensive back was named OVC Specialist of the Week.
Johnson blocked Ben Campbell’s
punt at the 12-yard line in the third quarter, with the Panthers leading 42-7. As players scrambled to locate the ball, Johnson raced toward the end zone, where the ball landed after he blocked it.
He secured it for an Eastern touch-down that gave the Panthers a 49-7 lead with 9:37 remaining in the quarter.
Next opponentEastern heads into its second game
against an FBS team, as the Panthers play Ohio of the MAC at 1 p.m. Sat-urday in Athens, Ohio.

The Eastern women’s soccer team’s 2-0 win over Chicago State on the road Sunday marked a number of firsts for the team heading into its Ohio Valley Conference schedule this weekend.
The win was the first non-confer-ence win since Sept. 7, 2012, when the Pan-t h e r s b e a t Evansville 2-1. It’s also the first non-conference win for head c o a c h J a s o n Cherry, now in
his second year at the helm.
Hannah Miller’s two goals make her the first Panther to score multi-ple goals in a match this season, and the first player to score multiple goals since Sept. 29, 2013, when Meagan Radloff did it against Tennessee Tech.
Miller, a 2012 selection to the OVC All-Newcomer team, scored two goals last year, including the team’s second goal of the season against Val-paraiso in 2013. Miller had two goals in her freshman season as well, both during OVC play.
Preparing for Southeast Missouri
Southeast Missouri, the first OVC opponent on the list for the Panthers, beat Eastern 4-0 last season. Miller and Radloff had one shot each in that match on Oct. 27, 2013. It was the Panthers’ worst OVC-loss of the year.
So far in non-conference play, Southeast Mis-souri is an even 3-3.
T h e R e d -hawks opened the season with a win over Divi-sion II Missouri-St. Louis of the Great Lakes Val-ley Conference. Southeast Mis-souri competed in the Falcon In-vitational hosted by Air Force and came away with a
2-0 win over Big West opponent Cali-fornia-Davis. Southeast Missouri con-cluded its Colorado road trip with a loss to Northern Colorado of the Big Sky conference.
The Redhawks dropped a 3-0 loss to Illinois State on Sept. 12 and a 1-0 loss to Evansville on Sept. 17. Illinois State, a member of the Missouri Val-ley, is 6-4 this season, while Evans-ville, also in the MVC, is 7-2-1.
Southeast Missouri’s most recent match was a 3-0 win over Arkansas State of the Sun Belt conference. Ar-kansas State is 3-6 so far this season.
Like the Panthers, Southeast Mis-souri was eliminated in the first round of last year’s OVC tournament. The No. 3 seeded Redhawks gave up a goal in the final five minutes to No. 6 seeded Austin Peay to lose 1-0.
The Redhawks are without last year’s OVC Defensive Player of the Year in goalkeeper Ashton Aubuchon, who graduated.

Angie Nicholson began her second season as Eastern softball coach with a perfect 4-0 record in the preseason.
Eastern hosted two double-headers at Williams Field against Olney Cen-tral College and Parkland College on Friday and Sunday, respectively. The Panthers outscored their opponents 36-1 in their four wins.
Without her top two pitchers from last year, Nicholson was able to see several freshmen play for the very first time in college.
Freshman Michelle Rogers, in her first collegiate softball action, threw seven shutout innings with seven strikeouts, one walk on eight hits. She picked up the 6-0 win in Eastern’s first game Friday against Olney.
Eastern freshman Taylor Miokovic went 2-for-3 at the plate, along with juniors Katie Watson and Kylie Ben-nett and freshman Tori Johnson. Bai-ley O’Dell led the Panthers with two RBIs.
In game two of the double-header on Friday, Eastern won 9-0.
The Panthers got another com-plete-game shutout from freshman Jessica Wireman against Olney. Wire-man had nine strikeouts, giving up only two hits, allowing no walks in her collegiate softball debut. At the plate, Wireman went 3-for-4.
Eastern recorded 15 hits, including a two-run home run from Bennett, who finished with three RBIs. Junior Jennette Isaac was 2-for-2 and ended the weekend 6-for-11. Freshman An-drea Roberts went 2-or-3.
In game one of the double header against Parkland College, the Panthers won 9-1 with the only run coming off an error.
Freshman Michelle Rogers pitched all seven innings, striking out nine, walking three and allowing only one hit and one unearned run.
Eastern recorded 12 hits with John-son leading the way going 3-for-4. Isaac went 2-for-3 with 2 RBIs and O’Dell went 2-for-4 with two RBIs.
The Panthers got another shutout
winning 12-0 in the second game of the doubleheader.
Rogers was on the mound again and threw four shutout innings with
four strikeouts, no walks and only one hit allowed.
