Winter already? Snow, deep freeze froill Rockies to East Coast
CHICAGO (AP) - An arctic air mass that brought snow and ice to an area stretching from the RQcky Mountains to northern New England on Monday was poised to give way to record-breaking cold temperatures.
In mid-Michigan, three people were killed in a two-vehicle crash that the Eaton County sheriff 's department attributed to heavy snowfall. And in Kansas, the highway patrol reported that a truck lost control on an icy highway and slammed head-on into another truck, killing an 8-yearold girl in the other vehicle.
In Chicago, where as much as 6 inches ( 15 centimeters) of snow fell, an Envoy Air flight from Greensboro, North Carolina, slid off an icy runway at O' Hare International Airport as it tried to land at about 7:45 a.m. None of the 38 passengers and three crew members were injured, according to the city's aviation department.
Snowfall totals could reach up to a foot or more in some areas oflndiana, Michigan and Vei;mont, according to the National Weather Service. 0th-
er places in the path of the air mass saw ice and rain. Denver saw just a few inches of snow but suffered numerous accidents on icy roadways because the snow fell during the morning commute.
More than 950 flights were canceled at Chicago's airports and officials in the area opened warming centers. In Michigan, some schools closed early, as did dozens of schools in the St. Louis area.
The snow and ice was just the first punch from a weather system that pushed frigid air from Siberia across an ar�a stretching from the Rocky Mountains to the East Coast. Temperatures below freezing were forecast as far south as Texas' Gulf Coast.
"This is an air mass that's more typical for the middle of January than mid-November," said National Weather Service meteorologist Kevin Birk. " It is pretty much about the coldest we can be this time of year (and) it could break records all over the region."
According to Birk, the lows on
Tuesday could drop into the single digits or low teens in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa, with highs climbing no further than the low 20s. The forecast high of 2 1 degrees (-6 Celsius) for Chicago would be a full seven degrees lower than the previous record set for Nov. 12.
In some areas, temperatures plunged quickly. Temperatures in Denver climbed past 70 degrees (2 1 Celsius) over the weekend only to fall to 14 degrees (- 10 Celsius) early Monday.
One area where the low temperatures was particularly concerning was in central Wyoming, where officials were searching for a 16-year-old autistic boy who went missing wearing only his pajamas on Sunday, prompting a search that included certified human trackers, helicopters, dogs, and planes.
The National Weather Service said areas west of the Rocky Mountains would be spared the arctic air, with above average temperatures expected in some of those places.
Two flights return to Miami airport with mechanical issues
M IA M I (A P) -Two American Eagle flights operated by American Airlines encountered similar mechanical issues after takeoff, forcing both planes to return to Miami International Airport.
The Miami Herald reports American Eagle Flight 3422 and Envoy Air Flight 3407 left the airport within minutes of each other and
returned around the same time Sun. day after
.experiencing mechanical
issues. An American Airlines spokesman
says Flight 3422 was bound for McG hee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee, when the pilot had to loop back.
The spokesman says Flight 3407 was going to Greenville- Spartan-
burg International Airport near Greer, South Carolina, when 40 minutes later it returned to Miami for an emergency landing.
The spokesman says both planes had "similar" mechanical issues but didn't elaborate.
Both flights later arrived safely at their destinations.
American. diver survives sha-rk attack off Mexico Baja beach
MEXICO CITY (AP) -A U.S. diver suffered a shark bite on the forearm after being attacked Monday in Magdalena Bay off the Baja California Sur coast.
T he Mexican navy did not release the man's name or hometown,
though it said he is 23 years old. T he navy said the man was div

Widow sues boat owner in fire off California that killed 34
LOS ANG ELES (AP) -The widow of a man who died in a fiery dive boat disaster that killed 34 people in waters off California is suing the vessel's owners.
Christine Dignam, who lost her husband Justin Dignam, filed her claim Monday in Los Angeles federal court.
The lawsuit against Santa Barbarabased Truth Aquatics is the first from a relative of those who died on the boat.
The lawsuit is a counterclaim to a lawsuit filed pre-emptively by owners of the boat, called the Conception, to protect them from liability under a quirk of maritime law.
The fire is the subject of ongoing criminal and safety inquiries by federal authorities. The blaze's cause has not been determined.
Lawyers for the boat company did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the lawsuit.
West Virginia borne explodes, two injured
C HARL E S TOWN, W.Va. (AP) - Officials say a West V irginia home exploded, causing non-lifethreatening injuries to two people.
WTT G-TV in Washington reports the home in Charles Town was destroyed in the Monday blast. Witnesses told the station the homeowners had problems with their propane furnace on Sunday.
Photos and video footage from news outlets show firefighters dous" ing the remnants of a fire at the leveled house. Fire officials said they were t rying to determine what caused the explosion.
Calls to the police department were answered by the Jefferson County emergency dispatch center, which had no immediate information and referred questions to a local fire department. A message left with the fire department wasn't immediately returned.

Mechanics give tips on car care during winter By Analicia Haynes Senior Reporter I @Haynes1943
On Monday, cars did not start, cars slid off the road, people had to drive less than 15 miles per hour, and students had to wear more than their sweatshirts and sweats.
And with the weather taking a turn as winter arrives early this year, there are several tips students should follow when it comes to maintaining their vehicles.
David Johnson, owner of Johnson's Automotive Service, and Rob Myerscough, owner of Myerscough Automotive, offered their advice on how to keep up with a car, especially when temperatures hit single digits.
t • t
Check Your Battery
Myerscough said that regardless of the snow, this is the time of year where students do not routinely go out and start their vehicles.
That becomes a problem, he said, because when they get ready to head home for the holidays, their car will not start.
Their car battery died, and to avoid this, Myerscough said students should start their cars at least once a week and let them run for about 15 minutes.
Johnson said the first thing everyone should do is make sure their car battery is less than four years old. He said regardless of what the manufacturer might say, if the battery is older than four years, then replace it.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Another big thing is to keep an eye
on, Johnson and Myerscough said, is the tire pressure.
Johnson said there is a light on the dashboard of cars that are ten years or younger that lights up when the tire pressure is low.
"Don't ignore that light," he said. Having low or high tire pressure
could be dangerous and could damage tires in the long run.
Myerscough said low tire pressure
could lead to prematurely wearing out the tire tread and by then new tires are needed.
Johnson recalled a time where a young woman came into the shop and her tires had three times more air pres-sure in them. _
With that much air, the tires could explode if they hit the right pothole at the right time, he said.
With the temperatures dropping to
PHOTO COURTESY OF CREATIVE COMMONS
a low of nine degrees Monday night, the tire pressure will also drop about 10 psi, Myerscough said.
Then in the morning, students are in the position they go out to their car and the tire pressure is at 15-20 psi, he said.
Myerscough said that if people are just driving in Charleston they could make it on a lower tire pressure, but if they are going out on the interstate
even if it is just to Effingham or Champaign then their tires will not make it.
But Myerscough said there is wear that happens on the inside of the tire as well and recommends that in general everyone should get their car checked by a mechanic at least two or three times a year to check and prevent any tire problems.

Don't risk the danger if you don't have to
With the heavy snowfall and blustery weather we have recently received, it is safe to say that the roads are rather dangerous.
Local police officers have expressed that it is not worth it for people to be on the roads, unless they absolutely have to be somewhere.
We at The Daily Eastern News agree that no one should put themselves in danger and risk the possibility of a car accident if they do not have to.
Of course, there are people that have to be places, such as work, school and extracurricular activities.
Although we have seen larger amounts of snow and precipitation, this is still enough to cause danger, so we ask that if you have to be at a certain place that you be extremely careful and use caution at all times.
The roads are currently very slick, and several vehicles have collided and crashed because of this. Although certain parts of the roads may not look slick or covered in snow, looks can be deceiving.
They could easily still be slick, especially with the drop in temperature we are about to experience this week.
If you have to be at a certain place, please make sure to start your trek by scraping your windows.
If you do not use a window scraper, you are not going to be able to see the roads or see what is behind you, and this could e asily cause a collision.
After doing this, make sure to drive slow and be aware of all of your surroundings.
Unfortunately, there will be times where you try to stop your vehicle, but you m;iy slide and not be able to properly stop.
If this happens, they say it is best to pump your brakes, rather than push and h o ld down.
It is understandable for anyone to panic when this happens to them, but try to reme mber to pump rather than hold down, and you will safe yourself a lot of misery.
Also, be aware of pedestrians, especially on campus.
There are crosswalks for a reason, and while some of us tend to ignore them and fly through them, we should not do this, especially with the weather like it is right now.
The precipitation can cause us to have a hard time seeing the road, so it is always best to make sure you look both directions and see if anyone is walking before you continue driving your vehicle.
With the heavy snow on the ground, it is hard for anyone to decipher what is a parking spot and what is not.
We encourage you to be weary of this, and do your best to park your vehicle in a proper spot.
With all of this being said, we do not want to see anyone hurt or injured because of the weather, so just be c areful and be smart about your choices on the road.

ion questions, submissions and letters
to the editor.
Please allow a week for us to publish
letters to the editor.

Our dams are in dire need of fixing The only type of crashing water we like to see is in
the form of waves on the shore of whatever beach our f.unily is visiting for summer vacation.
So why is there such an issue in the United States right now where there are thousands of dams across the country that are prone to be broken by the force of such huge buildups of water that can threaten entire communities?
llie Associated Press reported Sunday that a review of federal data and reports identified 1,688 highhazard dams rated in poor or unsatisfuctory condition as oflast year in 44 states and Puertq Rico.
The United States government needs to take immediate action to make dams across the country safer because of the high risk potential weak dams present.
In the country, there are more than 90,000 dams,
and on average, the nation's dams are over a half-century old.
That means that, according to Mark Ogden, a former Ohio dam safety official, many dams that are considered safe may be deficient by current safety standards.
Given the dangers of a crashing tide of water and debris that could result &om a dam that bursts, there needs to be more action taken to keep our communities safe.
On top of that, there are some people who may
DILLAN SCHORFHEIDE
live by themselves near dams, ar;d as it stands right now, we should not forget about those people.
Yes, a person could have chosen to live near a dam,
but they expect that the people who made the dam made it in a way that would protect those near it.
But, there lies the issue: The Associated Press reported that most U.S. dams are privately owned. In fact, 56.4 percent of dams are privately owned, according to FEMA.
This privately owned infrastructure brings to mind a similar situation with prisons being privately owned (a whole different issue), but the same argument made in the private prison situation should apply to this situation: Something this important should not
be privately owned where they cannot be regulated for the better of the public.
Considering the sheer amount of capital needed to repair, or much less build, a dam, some dam owners may not be able to afford repairs.
This is a problem that requires immediate and vast action, as the Associated Press reported that the Association of State Dam Safety Officials estimated it would take more than $70 billion to repair and 'modernize the nation's dams.
· If owners cannot afford to pay these costs, the government should be able to step in and require action to betaken.
This begs the question: Does the government put the safety of its citizens or the freedom of the capitalist market in higher priority?
To ensure our safety, the government needs to take som<i: action.
The government has a direct hand in building and fixing roads, bridges and other infrastructure, so dams need· to be in that group as well because there is potential for many lives to be put at risk due .to those ill power not doing enough to protect them.

Family is the antidote to homesickp_ess There is nothing quite like f.unily time. After being
away at school for a second year, I thought I was immune to being homesick. I was wrong.
I missed home so much that I started to feel like I was falling behind in my classes. I was unable to focus because I was trying to distract myself from being homesick.
After going through the motions of the week, the weekend had finally arrived. I am fortunate to be far enough away from home to haye the full college experience but not so far that a trip home is out of the question. And without question, I found myself packing a weekend bag and heading home.
"
After I had arrived I reallied no one in my family was actually home. They were all at work or in school themselves. But that was okay. While I was awaiting my f.unily's arrival, I finally had the will power to catch up on my homework. By the time my family got home, I was relaxed.
Being surrounded by them helped me calm down and feel at ease. According to "Reasons Spending Trme With Your Family is Important", " ... being able to communicate and bond with your loved ones will

help to reduce your stress". ( https://thevahub.org/reasons-spending-time-with-your-f.unily-is-importantl )
Being home helped focus on all of the things that I needed ·to get caught up on. It helped put my mind at ease and reset properly for the upcoming week. It was just what I needed.
After I had returned to school, I felt ready for whatever was to come next. Sometimes, you just need a home reset. Some people do not have the convenience of being close enough to home but there are
other ways to relax away from home as wdl. Sometimes a phone call to your f.unily to check in
can help lift your spirits and give you enough charge. Another benefit to spend time with your family, as stated in the aforementioned source, states that" ... kids who spend quality time with their loved ones have better self-confidence''.
I may not be a "kid" but this still holds true. My f.unily lifts me up and they could tell that I needed a break. At this point in the semester when projects are loaded on and the homework piles up, it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
With a couple weeks left until Thanksgiving break, I could tdl that I needed something that school could not provide me. While school is my home away from home, nothing beats real home like f.unily.
It is okay to go home for a weekend break to reset yourself. In fact, if you are able, I would recommend it to help conquer the stress.

Johnson also said that basically colder temperatures equal less pressure which equals less gas mileage.
He said students do not have to bring their car into the mechanic to check their tires and fill them, but if they choose to add air themselves they need to have a gage.
The amount of air pressure that tires should have varies from car to car.
Johnson said there is a sticker on the driver's side door that tells you how much air pressure is needed for a certain car.
Once you know how much air pressure is needed, then buy a gage and use that as a guide to filling up your tires.
Also, he said to be aware of how much tread life is on each of your tires.
He recommends using the penny trick, where you take a penny, hold it upside down (Abe Lincoln's head is facing the ground) and if you can see head, then your tires needed to be replaced yesterday.
When the tire tread is worn out you could slide into a curb and do hundreds of dollars in damage to the suspension system, Johnson said.
Check the windshield
M yersc ough said that people should give themselves extra time in the morning to get their car ready.
He said they should clean their entire car in addition to the windows and windshield to avoid snow and ice from sliding off the car and back onto the windshield or in someone else's line of sight op the_ ro�

PHOTO COURT ESY OF THE CHARL ESTON POLIC E D E PART M E N T FACE BOOK
The Charleston Police Department issued a warning on Facebook to the community Monday about slick roads after it snowed in Charleston. The post reads: "Due to heavy ice and snowfall please refrain from driving unless it is absolutely necessary as the roads are very slick!"
He said when there is ice on the windshield the easiest thing to do is turn on the windshield wipers, but he warns against doing that because it will break the wipers.
Check your fluids, yes that means oil too
Myerscough and Johnson said that students should go to places where they can get more than just an oil change, but rather a full service.
That means the mechanic will check the cars fluids, such as. anti-
freeze, the oil, filter, tire tread and tire pressure, tire bearings, front end valves, brakes and the battery for example.
Myerscough also said that even it is needed, road salt is the number one thing that eats up a car. That is why he said it is important to get a car checked out at least three times a year.
Doors freezing?
As for doors freezing .or car not starting, Johnson said the best advice
he can gjve is to walk away from it. He said to not pour hot water
down the door or try getting into the car because he said it could make the situation worse.
"Be patient," he said. "You can't control the elements."
He said at that point, if someone's door is frozen shut, then just take the Panther Shuttle to campus and wait for the car to thaw.

The workshop will start by getting attendees to think about the diversity in the student population, Pichichero said.
"The beginning part is to sort of attune the group to this notion that maybe the student body doesn't look exactly what you think it looks like from your experience in your classroom or who you see at any particular event," Pichichero said.
P ichichero said the event is about how everyone on university campuses are individuals.
"We really dive into a discussion of the fact that the university is not a place where we have human beings that are minds on legs, just walking around," Pichichero said. "We have hearts, we have bodies and identities and we're really affected by the world around us, so we actually bring our whole selves to class every day, to our jobs on campus, to our offices and to our classrooms, and that goes for students and for faculty and for administrators too."
Pichichero said the point of the workshop is to think about not only the space itself but the people who use it.
"I sort of try to put this forward to create the main argument which is that spaces are not just about spaces," Pichichero said. " Spaces are about people, and so in order to think about inclusive space you have to think about the people who are going to inhabit those spaces and that you will be one of those people."

Men's soccer te-am finishes its 2019 season By Blake Faith Men's Soccer Reporter I @BFAITH0024
The men's soccer team's season ended Nov. 9 when Denver won their match against Fort Wayne 3- 1 to clinch the final spot in the Summit League conference tournament.
Despite the Panthers not making the Summit League tournament, this team showed improvement in its record and were just only one point away from being in the tournament.
"I feel disappointed that we didn't make the tournament since I know this team deserved way more than that," said redshirt senior Christian Sosnowski. "This was the best team that I was a part of at EIU, and I wish we could've showed how good we actually are in the playoffs."
The men's soccer team's record this year was 5-9-2. This was the first team since 20 16 that has recorded five wins in a season.
Offensively the Panthers scored 13 goals on the season while having 10 goal-scorers accumulating the goals. Both were improvements on their numbers from 2018.
Defensively, the Panthers recorded five shutouts for the season with the defense of senior Edgar Mesa, freshmen Delphy Sabu and Quinn R e c h n e r, and r e d s h i r t j u n i o r goalkeeper Jonathan Burke.
All of these players provided mo ments throughout the season that helped secure wins whether it was defending their assigned areas, making key stops or working as a collective unit every game.
"I loved playing every game with my backline and especially towards the end of the season," Burke said.
"We all felt very confident and know each other's strengths and wea:Iffiesses a lot more now. It's going to be tough losing Edgar next season, but as one leaves another will step up."
Burke recorded 70 saves, a save percentage of .737 and a goals against average of 1. 5 1. All of those statistics are in the top five of the Summit League statistics lists, with the save percentage being the best in the conference.

"My favo.rite moment for me personally has to be watching the younger guys grow into great players this season," Burke said. "Over such a short period of time we have had so many guys develop and get better. We have a good amount of guys coming back who are going to contribute a lot next season."
The Panthers will return most of their offensive players from 20 19: Their two leading goal-scorers, juniors Davi Girardi and Shady Omar, six other players who have scored a goal in 2019, and their reader in assists, redshirt sophomore Cameron Behm.
On defense, the returnees will be Burke, Sabu and Rechner.
For Rechner and Sabu these freshman stepped up into their roles in a defensive soccer culture and made their imprints early. Throughout the season both players were able to control their areas on defense and were integral pieces in the Panthers' three conference shutouts this season.
"I think defensively this EIU soccer
program is always going to be built in a certain way and they certainly came in and filled some big shoes and did a very good job of being first year players that took on a lot of responsibility and responded very well," said head coach Kiki Lara. "It wasn't always perfect for them, it wasn't always steps forward and there were some steps backward, but the biggest thing for them I think is that they were humble enough to accept where they made mistakes and they got after it the next day and got better."
Lara continued: "They are two personalities that did not accept failure very well, continue to grow everyday, and they played some of their best soccer at the end of the year. We hope they continue on and stay humble."
The men's soccer team will lose their seniors in Sosnowski, Alex Castaneda, Cole Harkrader and Mesa.
They left their mark, whether in practice or in a game, on the men's
·soccer program that Coach Lara "hopes the underclassman paid attention to and hopes mirror these seniors."
"The biggest things these guys brought to the program was their love, care and conc ern for the program," Lara said. "We are so grateful for them to have come into our lives and grace us with their presence these last few years in our program. They moved in it in a positive direction and our goal is to maintain what they've built and grow upon it."
The men's soccer team's season might be over, but its team has goals off the pitch.
The team wants to achieve a team G PA of 3.2, which would be its highest in four years. The men's so<;cer team also wants to win the EPIC award, which ii has won twice in the last. four years.
EPIC is a competition between all athletic teams for community service, team GPA and team success.

Panthers to host first home game Tuesday By D illan Schorfheide Sports Editor I @Dill_DENSports
Perhaps a different path, a very different path, would have landed Xavier Johnson as a Panther on Eastern men's basketball head coach Jay Spoonhour's squad this year.
But Johnson is, instead, the leading scorer for Chicago State after two games, and coincidentally, he will end up in Lantz Arena anyway Tuesday at 7 p.m. when Eastern hosts the Cougars.
After Eastern's 65-52 loss to Wisconsin Nov. 8 , E astern assistant coach Rand Chappell told Mike Bradd, Eastern's play-by-play announcer, in a postgame interview
;. that Johnson was a player Eastern looked at, in some capacity, in recruiting.
Looking at Johnson's performance so far this season, a clear image emerges as to why Eastern's staff may have been interested in him.
In Chicago State's season-opening victory over Judson University, Johnson scored 37 of his team's 1 03 points (more than one -third of the team's total).
He did so efficient ly, too, as he shot 1 3-of- 1 8 overall, 7-of-9 from three-point range. Johnson also tied for the team lead with five assists.
I n the C ou gars' second game, a 9 8 -8 5 loss to Loyola Maryland, Johnson did not shoot well, 5-of- 1 9 overall and l -of-5 from three-point range, but he still led the team with 1 9 points and six assists.
Johnson has shown his ability to score from all-over the half court in those first two games, and what adds to his offensive threat is his free throw shooting.
Against Loyola, despite having a bad shooting night from the floor, Johnson shot 8-of- 1 1 from the free tlirow line.
I n the season -opener, he made 4-of-5, and if he is able to consistently shoot that 75 percent from the line, he could add another level of attack Eastern must defend against.
Last season, Eastern had difficulty guarding and stopping three-point shooting, but that has been better through its first two games, against much tougher opponents.
Johnson, though, is not afraid to pull up from three-point range (shot 8 -of- 1 4 through two games} and

may present a problem in that regard.
Plus, with his free throw shooting, Johnson may expose Eastern's problem of fouling a lot, especially on drives if a player gets around them or goes up for a shot.
That means that, if Johnson is . Chicago State's main ball handler, Eastern will have its hands full trying to neutralize hiS scoring, on top of making sure not to give him the chance to beat them at the free throw line .
The Eastern-Xavier Johnson connection does not stop at recruiting, though because Eastern's Jordan Skipper-Brown played against Johnson twice last year.
Johnson played at Hill College in Hillsboro, Texas, while SkipperBrown played at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, and both teams are in the National Junior College Athletic Association Region Five, in the Northern Texas Junior College Athletic Conference.
In the two teams' first meeting J an. 1 6, Skipper-Brown had eight points, three assists and
.six
rebounds, whi l e Johnson had 1 1 points and one assist.
Skipper-Brown's McLennan squad got the victory on the road, 70-66, but when Hil l College visited McLennan, Johnson's squad claimed the victory, 83-76.
Both had pretty modest games in the Feb. 1 3 meeting, with SkipperBrown scoring six points, along with �wo rebounds and steals e ach, and Johnson had nine points, along with two steals, four rebounds and three assists.
Although Eastern may know what to expect from Johnson, scouting the rest of the Cougars may be difficult.
Chicago State only has four returning p l a yers from last season: Christian Jacob, Noah Bigirumwami, Michael Johnson and Eugene Witherspoon. Of the four, Johnson is the only returning guard.
Furthermore, out of those four, only Michael Johnson and Jacob have scored, as Jacob averaged five points in the two games and Johnson scored six points in one game.
With that, the newcomers have driven· this Chicago State squad so
far. After Xavier Johnson's teamleading 28 points and 5.5 assists per game, guard Andrew Lewis is second with 1 4.5 points per game and three assists.
Forward Jace Colley is the other Cougar who averages double-figure scoring so far, with 10 points per game. Ke' Sean Davis is not a player to downplay, though, as he averages 8.5 points per game and leads the Cougars in rebounding with 7.5 rebounds per game.
For Eastern, newcomers have also been the main scorers, too.
George Dixon has been the standout for Eastern so far, as he has shown his ability to be a flex his guard designation with his 6-foot 5 -inch, 230 lb frame by being able to bang inside with the "bigs."
Dixon averaged 1 2 points and nine rebounds through Eastern's first two games, including a double-double in Eastern's opener against Texas Tech.
Marvin Johnson, Skipper-Brown and Deang Deang round out the leading scorers for.Eastern, averaging 8.5, 8 and 7.5 points per game, re-
spectively. E astern has benefitted from a
well-balanced offensive attack so far, with a lot of players contributing to the scoring.
Other notes for Tuesday's game:
• Mack Smith and Josiah Wallace have gotten off to a slow start, averaging 6.5 and 3.5 points per game, respectively. Smith extended his nationleading streak of consecutive games with a three-pointer made to 5 1 but is shooting 30 percent from deep so far. Wallace is shooting just 1 6. 7 percent from the floor in two games (3-of- 1 8). Despite rough starts, there is a lot of season to go, and the first home game may be the time for both to shake off their performances thus far. To be fair, Eastern's first games were against Texas Tech and Wisconsin, schools with the type of talent Eastern will not face all year long.
• In its first two games, Eastern has fouled 42 times total, compared to opponents' 29. Again, those are games against major college talents, but fouling was an issue for Eastern last year, too. Going forward, the Panthers will need to limit its fouling because more opponents' free throws will only pile on to any other issues Eastern may face.
• E a s t e r n , as a t e a m , h a s scored 39 points o ff threepointers and 1 1 from free throws. That means the other 62 points out of the team's 1 1 2 total from the first two games h ave come off twopoint shots. This may show an Eastern team trying to rely less on three-pointers than it did last season. The Panthers are only shooting 36. 7 percent from the field, though, so converting more shots into points will be key for them goip.g forward.

Eastern volleyball beats Chicago State in 5 sets By Adam Tum ino Volleyball Reporter I @adam_tumino
The Eastern volleyball team recorded its highest hitting percentage of the season on Monday night against Chicago State, hitting .262 in a five -set win over the Cougars in Lantz Arena.
The Panthers' previous se ason high in hitting percentage came on Nov. 9 against Tennessee State.
The victory was the third on the season for Eastern, two of which have come against non-conference opponents like Chicago State. Two conference games remain for the Panthers before the end of the season.
Eastern head coach Julie Allen said she is happy with the te am's performances lately.
"It 's been huge," Allen said. "It not only starts with us serving aggressively, we 're starting to pass good ba:lls, our seHer Bailey Chan-

dler has done a good j ob distributing ba'.lls and making it very .hard
on the opponents." Chandler recorded 50 assists in
the match, her second most this season. Two of the players she set up, Morgan Matusik and Kylie Michael, recorded career-highs in kills with 1 8 and 1 5 respectively. Matusik also had a career-high 20. 5 points.
Matusik had set a season high in the previous match against Tennessee State .
"They've been really fun, " Matusik said 0of the last two matches. "It's been nice to come together as a team, and especially to get a win tonight ."
Allen said that the team's approach to hitting was exemplified by Matusik's performance, as well as others.
"Morgan blocked one time, and the next time we set her the ball and she crushed it down on them," Allen said. "That was exciting to see."
Michael credited the recent scoring success to a strong defense . The
Panthers held Chicago State to a hitting percentage of . 1 09, the lowest for an E astern o pponent this season.
"That gives Bailey a good chance to set whpever she wants and even out ti, offense," Michael said.
Moving ahead to the final two matches of the season, Allen said she hopes the team can continue to grow and fight.
"I just hope this keep building on the co nfidence and showing that all that hard work is starting to pay off," Allen said. "It 's been fun to watch the growth keep going, especially in a season that isn't what we wrote up."
