For the first time in four years, Eastern has a chance to play a game on ESPN. The Panthers have been selected as one of the 100 teams to compete for a spot in ESPN Bracket Buster Saturday that is designed to allow mid-major schools an opportunity to showcase their talents a month before Selection Sunday.
The Panthers' volleyball team swept a pair of Ohio Valley Conference rivals last weekend. They beat Murray State University on Friday and University of Tennessee-Martin on Saturday. Midway through the first game on Friday, it looked as if the game would go down to the wire as the teams were tied at 17.
The first thing you learn when you play a game is to be a good sport. I am here to tell you that is the biggest load of verbal garbage ever uttered. Flash to the 2005 President's Cup, where rules are not only meant to be broken but also supposed to make everybody happy.
The Panthers returned from the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic with their heads held a little higher this weekend. While the Panthers may not have won the meet, overall they finished ninth out of 54 teams. The Eastern runners also set several new personal records that included seniors Dan Strackeljahn, who ran a time of 25:32.
