Audience spends ‘An Evening With Pavlo’ at Doudna By Mercury Bowen Entertainment Reporter | @DEN_News

MERCURY BOWEN | THE DAILY EASTERN NE WS

Pavlo strums his guitar during a performance in the Dvorak Concert Hall at the Doudna Fine Arts Center Wednesday evening.

Music reverberated through the Dvorak Concert Hall as world-renowned guitarist Pavlo performed at the Doudna Fine Arts Center Wednesday evening. The performance was a lively one, with Pavlo tossing guitar picks into the crowd and dancing with audience members. At the end of the performance, as per a tradition he began seven years ago, Pavlo gave away the guitar he performed with to an audience member. Bonnie Buckley, the guitar recipient, said she was shocked when her name was called. “I was just stunned, absolutely stunned,” Buckley said. “I’ve never won anything in my life.” Buckley said she loved the show. “I loved the music,” Buckley said. “I’m going to go back and watch the TV special. I wish more people would come, because they missed a great performance.”

Pavlo said it had been his dream for many years to give what he called “The Gift of Music,” at his concerts. “I just think the world needs more guitars,” Pavlo said. “I think if there’s more guitars in the world, I think that it would be a better world.” Pavlo said he loved playing in a place that has never heard him before. “I’ve been traveling around doing what I’ve been doing for so many years,” Pavlo said. “When I play a city for the first time it really excites me.” Pavlo has written all of his own music, however he said he is not a traditional songwriter. “Generally my music can be considered quite positive and happy, but I’m not a cookie cutter type of writer,” Pavlo said. “I can’t sit in a room and write five songs a day.” Life and emotions are two things Pavlo said inspire his songs.

National Coming Out Day to be celebrated on campus By Corryn Brock Associate News Editor | @corryn_brock The 30th annual National Coming Out Day will be will extend to Eastern’s campus Thursday and will celebrate people in the LGBTQ community coming out. Coming out is when an individual tells or expresses their sexuality or gender identity to someone. EIU Pride will be celebrating the day with a “closet” door (signifying coming out of the closet) for stu-

dents to sign and write their names/pronouns on as well as face painting in front of the Doudna Steps. Siobhan Doherty, president of EIU Pride and a junior sociology major, said that NCOD is important because a lot of people have experiences with coming out, positive or negative. “A lot of people either don’t have a great time coming out, or it’s uneventful,” Doherty said. Doherty said she does not think coming out should have to necessarily be celebrated. “I don’t think it should be as big of deal because it

is becoming a more accepted lifestyle, as some people would say,” Doherty said. However, she said she understands why having a holiday like NCOD is important to people. “It is still a big deal and it’s nice to have a day to celebrate those who are able to come out and those who aren’t able to come out,” Doherty said. Doherty said she thinks people should feel free to decide when or if they are ready to come out and not feel pressured into coming out before they are ready. “I think everyone should know you don’t have to

come out, but if you want to you should,” Doherty said. “Do it at your own pace.” Coming out can be hard for some people, the people they tell may react negatively. In some cases, children are disowned and kicked out of their homes by guardians for coming out. According to a study by Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago, LGBTQ youth are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their non-LGBTQ counterparts.

State and Nation THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

2 cases reported regarding rare nervous system disorder CHICAGO (AP) — A suburban Chicago girl and a girl from Indiana are being treated for a rare condition that afflicts the nervous system. According to her parents, 2-yearold Julia Payne's symptoms at first resembled those of a common cold. She was later diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis, or AFM, and has been undergoing treatment for a month at

Chicago's Lurie Children's Hospital. The father of an 8-year-old from Indiana says his daughter has some paralysis and a partially-collapsed lung. Melaney Arnold of the Illinois Department of Public Health says health care providers in the state have reported nine cases of AFM. She says the findings of health care

providers are preliminary and only the Centers for Disease Control can confirm the diagnosis. Until then, doctors are treating the cases as if they are AFM. Between August 2014 and August 2018, the CDC received information on 362 cases of AFM nationwide. The CDC says little is known about what causes the disease.

Michael crosses into Georgia as dangerous Category 3 storm The National Hurricane Center says Michael's eye has crossed from the Florida Panhandle into southwestern Georgia as a dangerous Category 3 storm, the strongest to hit that part of the state in recorded history. Maximum sustained winds of 115 mph (185 kph) were recorded in Seminole County, Georgia, Wednesday evening. The storm made landfall near Mexico Beach, Florida, as a catastrophic Category 4 hurricane earlier Wednesday afternoon. According to a 6 p.m. advisory, the storm was located 20 miles (32 kilo-

meters) west-northwest of Bainbridge, Georgia, and 50 miles (80 kilometers) southwest of Albany, Georgia. It was moving north-northeast at 13 mph (21 kph). Dangerous storm surge continues along the coast of the Florida Panhandle. Hurricane Michael downed trees and power lines as it began its push inland. The National Hurricane Center said the core of Hurricane Michael will push through southeastern Alabama and southwestern Georgia Wednesday evening.

The Houston County Emergency Management Agency in Alabama told people to stay off the roads. The Alabama Emergency Management Agency said that almost 3,000 people were without power in the state as of shortly after 3 p.m. Some southeastern Alabama cities and counties instituted mandatory curfews to try to keep people at home. Louisiana is sending dozens of emergency personnel, along with boats, ambulances and other equipment to Florida to help with the response to Hurricane Michael.

Supreme Court wrestles with case on detention of many immigrants WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court wrestled Wednesday with a case about the government's ability to detain certain immigrants after they've served sentences for committing crimes in the United States. Several justices expressed concerns with the government's reading of immigration law. The immigrants, mostly green-card holders, say they should get hearings where they can argue for their release while deportation proceedings against them are ongoing.

While members of the court's conservative majority seemed more inclined than its liberal members to back the government, both of President Donald Trump's appointees asked questions that made it less clear how they might ultimately rule. The issue in the case before the justices has to do with the detention of noncitizens who have committed a broad range of crimes that make them deportable. Immigration law tells the government to pick those people up

when they are released from federal or state prisons and jails and then hold them without bond hearings while an immigration court decides whether they should be deported. But those affected by the law aren't always picked up immediately and are sometimes not detained until years later. They argue that unless they're picked up essentially within a day of being released, they're entitled to a hearing where they can argue that they aren't a danger to the community and are not likely to flee.

US increases pressure on Saudis over writer's disappearance WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump demanded answers Wednesday from Saudi Arabia about the fate of a missing Saudi writer as lawmakers pushed for sanctions and a top Republican said the man was likely killed after entering a Saudi consulate in Turkey. Trump said he didn't know what happened to Jamal Khashoggi and expressed hope that the 59-year-old writer, who went missing a week ago, was still alive. But senior members of Congress with access to U.S. intelligence reporting feared the worst. More than 20 Republican and Democratic senators instructed Trump to order an investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance under legislation that authorizes imposition of sanctions for perpetrators of extrajudicial killings, torture or other gross human rights violations. While no suspects were named, and the lawmakers' letter to the president is only a pre-step in taking punitive action, it marked departure from decades of close U.S.-Saudi relations that have only intensified under Trump.

Planned Parenthood plans to protect abortion access NEW YORK (AP) — Planned Parenthood on Wednesday launched a campaign to protect access to abortion as widely as possible even if the Supreme Court, with the addition of conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh, moves to curtail a woman's right to undergo the procedure. Most of the states with the strongest abortion-rights policies are on the West Coast and in the Northeast. Because of that geography, the new plan underscores the importance of Illinois, and envisions an aggressive expansion of Planned Parenthood services there.

Students have 66 chances Pokémon Go lives on to volunteer in October By Sara Maddox Contributing Writer | @DEN_News The Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism offers different volunteering opportunities and service projects to students on campus. Within the last eight weeks of school, the students of Eastern have completed more than 1,700 hours of community service, said Beth Gillespie, the interim director at The Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism. With the shift of student enrollment the last few years, there was no correlating decline in the total amount of volunteer hours logged by students, Gillespie said. “Even though we had less students, the students that we had here on campus were doing more and getting engaged...and still doing good at the same total rate as they had in the past,” Gillespie said. With an increase of student enrollment this year, she said she also looks forward to seeing an increase in the total number of volunteer hours logged. For the month of October, Gil-

lespie said the office is offering students 66 different volunteering opportunities. Most of the projects being offered are available six days a week and usually include two hours of volunteering. Gillespie said approximately 95 percent of the opportunities also provide transportation to and from the location, so volunteers do not have to transport themselves. In efforts to continue to increase involvement from students, Gillespie said The Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism tries, “to make it as easy as possible for students to get engaged with us”, by offering a variety of opportunities and times for the projects. Sam Tompkins, a senior engineering student, said he likes volunteering at Eastern for a couple of reasons. “(Eastern offers) a variety of projects the school offers to its (students) because not only is it important to give back, but it is something that stands out to future employers,” Tompkins said. A few of the more popular projects and opportunities include the Special Olympics, Jump Start, and

Girls on the Run, Gillespie said. The Special Olympics, held at Eastern’s O’Brien Field, has nearly 300 students volunteering for the event, totaling nearly 2,100 service hours, she said. The Jump Start event, which is held at the beginning of the school year, gets all incoming Eastern Illinois University students involved in a service project to give back to the Charleston and surrounding areas’ communities. Girls on the Run, an event held in November that promotes female empowerment with young girls in the community, is also a very popular event. Gillespie called it one of her favorites. To find more information about how to get involved or to see what opportunities are currently available to students, Gillespie said students can go to The Office of Civic Engagement and Volunteerism on the third floor in the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union or they can visit www.eiu.edu/volunteer. Sara Maddox can be reached at 581-2812 or at snmaddox@eiu. edu.

Student senate speaker sets goals; RSO proposal tabled By Analicia Haynes Editor-in-Chief | @Haynes1943 The acting speaker of the senate identified goals and recognized the Senate’s growth as an organization this semester during a meeting Wednesday night. Zac Cohen, the acting speaker, said when only three senators returned at the start of the semester, they were certain

that this would be a rebuilding semester for the senate. He called it an opportunity to start new and steer the ship in the correct direction, and he said now the senate has 21 members and has finished appointing student senators for the semester. Cohen said that direction he wants the senate to move toward is improving retention rates on senate and building

Cohen said with “so many new faces” it is important for the senate to retain as many of them as possible. “So that we can stop playing catch up every semester and finally keep going,” Cohen said, referring to retaining senators.

among senators and executives. Senators also tabled a bill proposal for a new Sustainability Club on campus. Josh Harden, a graduate student and the future president of the club if it is approved by the Senate, said the purpose of the club is to raise awareness on what students can do to be sustainable on campus like using paper cups instead of plastic.

Harden said he is hopeful that the Senate will approve the bill but said even if it does not, he and the people who are slated to join the club will start something regardless. The Senate will vote on the bill at its Oct. 17 meeting. Analicia Haynes can be reached at 581-2812 or achaynes@eiu.edu.

Bringing home the laundry

STAFF EDITORIAL

Fall Break is upon us, so you know what that means: clean laundry and home cooked meals. That’s right, whenever there is a break we all know that along with a bag of books that we lug home with us, we bring a an equally large bag of clothes that started just kind of piled up in a corner of our rooms since the start of the semester. We also stuff our car with as much unnecessary crap that we collected over the semester up until now with the hopes of dumping it in our deserted rooms back home. Then on the actual drive home (for those of us who do drive) we pray to every God we can name that mom, dad, grandma, grandpa whoever does our laundry, feeds us, cares for us, makes us feel like kids again and takes care of the crap we leave behind. The best part: they will. Yeah, some of us here at The Daily Eastern News know how it goes. Of course, this isn’t the case for every student on campus, this is a very stereotypical portrayal of a college student going home during a break but there is some validity in it and there is something all students might have in common. At long last, we finally have a chance to forget the daily grind that is our classes and rest our brains. It’s a great time to unwind after midterms or prep for more exams next week, focus on your other jobs that you do and make that money or even catch up on homework and sleep. Regardless of what you do, some of the junior and senior staff members decided to offer nothing but the best advice that will help ensure a positive and fulfilled Fall Break so pay attention. For starters, as soon as you get home, leave the bag of books and homework and clothing in the car, go to your room or your parents room, because odds are their bed feels great, or even the sofa in the middle of the living room and fall face first on a pillow. After that, get your happy butt up, stumble into the kitchen and tell your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa whoever raised you and is constantly rooting for you that you love them and top it off with a hug, maybe a kiss on the cheek. Then watch as they insist on feeding you dinner and ask you a million questions about school, life, your friends, your partners, your thoughts and dreams and enjoy every minute of it. Hang out or argue with your siblings if you have them and enjoy it, bond with the family pet and enjoy it better yet stay up all night with your best friend from high school and talk about everything and anything and enjoy it. Then on Saturday night and most likely all of Sunday do some homework because it is likely that there are some projects, assignments or general bits of work that everyone needs to do. But before you start that semester-long project that you have been putting off since you got your syllabus in August, and before you start loathing the fact that you have homework to begin with, take that Friday off and just enjoy it because even doing that is productive. Whatever you do Friday, make it a productive day in the way it would mean for you to, and if you do have a lot of work to do Friday, make sure to still take some time to enjoy your time off. Please, be safe this weekend and if you are driving please, pay attention to the road and be cautious. By the way, don’t forget to bring back some winter gear because it looks like we’ll be missing fall all together and going straight into winter.

Break the stigma surrounding mental health Yesterday, Oct. 10, was World Mental Health Day. Lots of people struggle with mental health— I don’t think we need statistics at this point to know that. We’ve been shown the statistics and we know this. What we hardly ever hear about are the specifics of peoples’ struggles. Maybe in a once-andawhile Facebook or Instagram post, we might see it discussed but mental health is not usually discussed on a regular basis. It’s important to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Some people treat mental health either with ignorance, which is fixable, or they treat it like it’s an excuse, which is worse. It’s worse because they’re acknowledging that mental health is something that some people struggle with, but they’re not acknowledging how difficult and debilitating those struggles can be. In the case of ignorance, it can be mended, sometimes. Talking about mental health is vital to breaking the stigma. It seems self explanatory, but it’s easier said than done. When talking about your own mental health, there’s an element of vulnerability. It feels shame-

MEGAN KEANE ful. It sometimes feels dramatic—to me, at least. Shame is a powerful feeling. It can lead to internalizing emotions and conflict, which is not only devastating to your mental health but to your physical health as well. Being vulnerable is the key to helping people understand mental health, and it can ultimately help bring light to shame. Many people have opened up to me in light of my own vulnerability. Then, of course, there are the people in my life who were unaware of my struggles, but upon telling them, they’ve made an effort to understand. Talking about our struggles is difficult, but

hearing about another person’s struggles—at the very least—humanizes that person. People suffering from any level of any duress due to mental health complications don’t realize the impact that they can have. By sharing your personal experiences with depression or anxiety, you can create a link to other people. If people hear your story and feel your struggles or relate to your struggles, they may gain a better understanding of mental health or talk about their own struggles. By sharing your vulnerability, you can help normalize mental health and discard the shame associated with having a mental illness. The most common misconception is that, in order to have an impact, you have to be clinically-something like suffering really badly or being really depressed/anxious/numb. That is not the case. Personal experiences speak to other people, no matter the severity. The conversation has started. The information and language is out there now in a way it’s never been before, but we need to continue it. Megan Keane is a senior English and psychology major. She can be reached at 581-2812 or mkkeane@eiu.edu.

It’s OK to miss out, focus on yourself It is about time I addressed something that has been going on for a long time. I am done hiding it. I have an extreme Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). You may be laughing now, but the severity of my case is nothing to take lightly. I walk the fine line between sanity and insanity as I force myself to try to do it all. It started out simple. I never wanted to miss out on any social event. This consisted of anything from long drives with all the windows down, music loud and friends by my side to nights out in Chucktown. Being the goody goody I am but pretend not to be, I still always made it to class, completed all of my studying and assignments and received good grades. However, it came with a price that I could only pay in the form of all-nighters, cup after cup of coffee and only a couple hours of sleep or the occasional power nap. But the memories are worth it, I told myself. I still think they were worth it to this day. As my college career continued on, I developed other forms of FOMO. I was constantly telling myself I was not doing enough. I worked for three student publications while

also having 16 credit hours, working part time at a restaurant off campus, being an active member of a sorority with multiple positions and of course, making every memory I possibly could with my friends to preserve the “good ‘ol days.” I convinced myself that I needed to be present for everything or else I would be nothing: I would not be a good friend, a good journalist or a good member of the EIU community. But when you stretch yourself so thin, you cannot fully be present for anyone or anything—especially yourself.

While trying to do everything, I forgot the most important thing: doing things for myself. Instead, I used whatever time I did find myself with thinking about what I could be doing rather than what I should be doing for myself. This semester, I have been working as an intern at the Health Education Resource Center. There, I have learned the importance of selflove and self-care. Taking care of yourself is the most important job that you have. Do not worry about missing one night of going out—I assure you, your friends will not forget you. Do not stress about not joining this club or that organization—that opportunity will present itself to you again, I promise. Do not beat yourself up for needing a break—we all need one now and again. Remember you are a priority. “Free time” is called “free” for a reason. Use it to do something you love that will remind yourself that everything you have already accomplished is incredible and that what is to come is waiting for you when you are ready.

Eastern’s N.A.A.C.P hosted a Date Auction with night at the 7th Street Underground of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. N.A.A.C.P Vice President Jawan Emmons and the organization’s health chair Brianna Hogan were the night’s hosts.

Reasons cited for their homelessness included family issues, being forced out of the home, abuse at home, etc. Doherty said she has seen both positive and negative outcomes for people who came out. “I know a lot of (transgender) individuals that come out and feel comfortable expressing their gender identity (who feel like they have) this huge weight lifted off of their shoulders,” Doherty said. “We all have so many things to worry about and (worrying about coming out) shouldn’t have to be one.” Doherty said her advice for coming out is to pick someone who they think will react positively or even a stranger to get it over with, but every situation is different. For those who are not financially stable she suggests getting a support system in place just in case. While tomorrow is a day set aside to celebrate coming out, Doherty said it is important to remember if you are not “out,” “the day is still for you.” “You’re no less valid for not being out,” Doherty said.

PAVLO

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “It’s instrumental,” Pavlo said. “That’s what makes it even more interesting because people’s interpretation could be different every night.” Pavlo said family is another big part of his inspiration. “A lot of my music was inspired by my girls, my daughters,” Pavlo said. “I just think family plays such a huge role in one’s life and I would hate for that to be lost.”

Pavlo also cites this as a reason for doing the guitar giveaway. “If my guitar brings a family together around the kitchen table or a song around the campfire that would be the biggest compliment to me,” Pavlo said. “That’s kind of been my driving force behind all of that, and really my journey in life.” Pavlo said his favorite thing about performing is the ability to bring joy to

people. “When people leave the concert sometimes they’ll say ‘I feel happy,’ ‘I feel positive,’ ‘I’m uplifted,’ or ‘Your music reminded me of my trip to Greece,’ or ‘Your music makes me want to go to Greece,” Pavlo said. “When I hear those kinds of things, it makes me feel like I’ve done something good in life. I feel so blessed for that.” As for what the audience mem-

Panthers to hold ‘Hope for Hannah’ game By Adam Tumino Women’s Soccer Reporter | @DEN_Sports The Eastern women’s soccer team will be hosting their “Hope for Hannah” match on Thursday against Southeast Missouri in what will be their final home match of the season. The match will be honoring Eastern junior and member of the soccer team Hannah Heinz, who has spent the season battling cancer. The match is scheduled to kick off at 2 p.m. at Lakeside Field The team will wear special green socks for the match, and donations will be collected to benefit the St. Jude Clinic in Peoria, where Heinz has undergone treatments. “We have a lot of gratitude towards that clinic for looking after her the way they have,” head coach Jake Plant said. “Anything we can do to help we want to do.” Plant also spoke about how the team has rallied behind Heinz during her fight. “When something like this happens to essentially a sister, it only brings the group together,” Plant said. “(The team) has gotten a massive amount of perspective on what is true resiliency, what is true grit and what is true toughness, which is what Hannah is.” In her sophomore season last year, Heinz was tied for the team lead with three goals and eight points.

As for the match itself, Southeast Missouri is currently in 10th place out of 11 OVC teams. They are 1-3-2 in conference play and 3-7-2 overall. Eastern comes into the match at 4-6-4 overall with a 3-2-2 conference record. They are in fourth place in the OVC. The Redhawks are led on offense by junior midfielder Esmie Gonzales. She is tied for seventh in the OVC with five goals. She is one of just three Southeast Missouri players to score a goal this season. Freshman Morgan McCourt has three goals and junior Jennifer Brien has one. Freshman goalkeeper Bailey Redden is one of three goalkeepers to see time in net this season for the Redhawks, but has been the most productive. She has played in nine matches, starting five, and she leads the OVC with an .824 save percentage. Eastern will depart Lakeside Field after the match. They may wind up hosting a postseason match depending on the OVC tournament standings. They have gone 1-3-3 at home this season, but have played some of their toughest conference opponents there. First-place Tennessee-Martin, second-place Murray State and the two teams tied for fourth place, Austin

Men's tennis team sees good chemistry this season By Vince Lovergine Men’s Tennis Reporter|@DEN_Sports So far, the Eastern men’s tennis team has played in the River Forest College Invite and had its annual alumni match during its fall season. This weekend, the Panthers continue the fall schedule with the Eastern Illinois Fall Invite on Friday and Saturday at Darling Courts. Coming into the season, Eastern welcomed four new players to the current roster, an interim Director of Men’s and Women’s Tennis, as well as an assistant coach.

It came by surprise when previous coach Sam Kercheval left the program for a job at Notre Dame earlier this school year. Looking forward to a new year and improvements from last year, it seems the Panthers are poised to have a big year. The coaches and players are starting to click with one another and striving for a similar goal. Assistant coach Michael Munguia says the players are “gelling” well together and he wants that positive to play a factor all season. “It’s really a family aspect,” Munguia said. “With the new players

happy fall break!

coming in along with myself, I wasn’t able to tell who the younger and older guys were which is a good atmosphere to have for men’s program and inviting to the new guys.” Munguia also said the goal this season is to improve that record and be over .500 and come up with some big conference wins, while also exceeding in the classroom. For returning players Freddie O’Brien, Gage Kingsmith, Braden Davis and Logan Charbonneau it has been quite a difference compared to last year but for O’Brien he can see those changes already.

(The Daily Eastern News will not be published on Friday. )

“We’ve gotten along really well,” O’Brien said. “We’ve got quite good depth this year where our two, three and four positions were iffy but now it seems we have a strong two and three which will help our team a lot. O’Brien said he feels like the coaches have set a lot of “high standard goals,” which he said has been great for the team. “We want to aim high, so it’s been good,” O’Brien said. That same feeling has hit junior Braden Davis. He has noticed the new culture of the team has changed since a year

ago. “Chris (Tolson) wants us to make that big jump, Davis said. “When your setting such high expectations even if we don’t reach them we’re still going to do far better if we’re just trying to get a little better. Tennis is such a game of margins and improve a little bit will make those big strides.” Eastern’s spring schedule does not start until late January, the Panthers wrap up the fall schedule with the Illinois State Fall Invite Nov. 2 and 4.

Eastern falls 2-1 to Valparaiso at home By Dillan Schorfheide Assistant Sports Editor | @Eiu_journalist The rain was not the only thing that put a damper on the men’s soccer team Wednesday. Valparaiso (3-7-2) scored two goals in the second half of Wednesday’s match to get a road win against the Panthers (3-73), after Eastern scored the first goal of the match. Earlier rain in the day made Lakeside Field slippery, and players were sliding it seemed every other step. At halftime, the looming, dark clouds finally came and released their downpour, forcing the second half of the match to be played at the former rugby field. The common sports mantra that the second half is a new game was true for both teams, as that was when all the scoring happened; the players still slid around a lot too, but not as much. Luke Kurili netted his first goal of the season three minutes into the second half and gave Eastern a 1-0 lead. Cole Harkrader played a ball from around midfield to Toby Andrews, who was about 23 yards from the goal, and Andrews tapped the ball forward to Kurili, who chipped it over the Valparaiso goalkeeper at the top of the box. Kurili is the seventh Panther to score this season, and his goal puts the team’s total to nine on the season, just one less than last year’s total for that season. Even though Eastern had taken the lead, Valparaiso free kick play was on point in the second half. Just a minute after Kurili’s goal, the Crusaders were awarded a free kick about 22 yards away from the goal, on the right side of the field. Lucca Lacerda took the free kick for Valparaiso, and his curling cross was headed into the back of the net by Akeem Bradford, from about the penalty kick spot.

Eastern senior Jake Andrews keeps the ball away from a Valparaiso defender in the Panthers 2-1 loss Wednesday at Lakeside Field. The loss dropped Eastern to 3-7-3 this season.

Valparaiso then took the lead with 5:15 left in the match. Simeon Packer committed a foul about 34 yards away from Eastern’s goal, and Lacerda hit a line drive to the upper right corner of the goal to give his team the lead and eventual win. After Bradford tied the match for Valparaiso, not a lot happened for the Cru-

saders, but Eastern had two great chances that almost resulted in goals. With 29:45 left in the half, Kurili once again found himself with a chance to score at the same spot where he scored his goal, when a Valparaiso defender missed the ball on an attempted kick and let it go through his legs to Kurili. But this time, Kurili shot the ball right

at the goalie, who made the easy save. Then six minutes later, David Camacho Jr. hit a shot from 25 yards out when he noticed the goalie was far off his line, but the goalie managed to get his fingertips on the lined shot just enough to deflect the ball off its goal-destined course. Wednesday’s home match was the second-to-last one for the Panthers, and

their last home match will be Oct. 27 against Fort Wayne in Eastern’s secondto-last conference match. The next match for Eastern will be Oct. 20 on the road against conferenceopponent Oral Roberts. Dillan Schorfheide can be reached at 581-2812 or dtschorfheide@eiu.edu.

Panthers face ‘daunting’ task in Jacksonville State By JJ Bullock Sports Editor | @DEN_Sports Eastern’s head football coach Kim Dameron said he had to splash his face with cold water to keep himself from passing out while watching film on his team’s opponent this Saturday; Jacksonville State. That is how good the Gameocks have been this season. Whether or not Dameron literally had to cool himself off while watching film, only he knows. But one thing that is certain is that Jacksonville State, which has won 35 conference games in a row, has been the juggernaut of the OVC this season, and it is now Eastern’s turn to try and slow them down. “We have a daunting task ahead of us to go to Jacksonville State and try to shock the world,” Dameron said during this week’s OVC teleconference. Jacksonville State, now ranked 8th in the FCS, has the OVC’s top offense, averaging 48 points per game and the league’s top defense allowing just 15.8 points per game. To say the least, the Gamecocks have bullied teams on both sides of the ball this season. The offense is led by a tandem of quarterbacks in Zion Webb and Clemson transfer Zerrick Cooper. Webb can damage teams heavily with his legs and is also no sham throwing the ball, while Cooper leads the OVC with a 157 passer efficiency rating forming a two-headed monster that has given the opposition fits all season long. “We always want the quarterbacks

to stay in the pocket, so we usually try to contain them,” linebacker Dytarious Johnson said. “We usually do have a linebacker or someone to just make sure that they are in the pocket at all times, but that is mainly our main priority is keeping them in the pocket. They’re both good with their legs, one is better passing the ball than the other one so hopefully we just make them keep wanting the quarterback in throughout the game, so hopeful-

ly we can manage that.” Jacksonville State also boasts a big, physical offensive line and a receiver in Josh Pearson who is second in the OVC with eight touchdown catches this season. Johnson said the linebackers have been strategizing a lot against their offensive lineman. Three Gamecock lineman were named preseason all-conference players, the team’s center Tyler Scozzaro and both

guards in B.J. Autry and Darius Anderson. “You’re not going to stop this offense, you’re just not,” Dameron said. “Again, we try to make the plays, the plays that they make, not just be totally explosive to the endzone and all that stuff. You just try to manage this team, they’ve got playmakers at every spot.” Tackling came up once again when Dameron talked about what his team

had to do to stop the opposition, the poor tackling by his defense has been a major topic of conversation all season long. “There is no big secret to it, we just have got to do a better job tackling,” Dameron said. “We’ve worked on it really hard this week, the kids have worked really hard, they’ve been embarrassed about the way we’ve done things. Hopefully we are getting better.” There is no secret that Eastern feels they are better than the 1-5 record it holds to its name, something Johnson reiterated on Wednesday. With that said, the Panthers also recognize the team they will meet on Saturday has been top dog in the conference for quite some time, which adds a little bit more fire to Eastern. “We would like to think we have got some pep every week but, yeah, you’re going to go play one of the top teams in the country and it’s a challenge,” Dameron said. “Every game is a challenge in this league and in any league.” At the end of everything that could be said about the powerhouse that is Jacksonville State or Eastern’s 1-5 record, Dameron expressed his happiness with the attitude his players have put forward in the face of adversity this season. “We have had two good days of practice... I cannot say enough good things about the attitude of this football team,” Dameron said. “I wish that our won-loss record was better, but I can tell you this, the attitude of the team, the work ethic of the team and their enthusiasm for the game has not changed a bit.” JJ Bullock can be reached at 581-2812 or jpbullock@eiu.edu.
