College Star contestant Devon Da- vis promised his grandfather he would not perform sensual music at the Col- lege Star talent show. However, to the audience’s delight, he started performing sensual songs and dancing during the later part of his performance. Davis ended up winning first place at the College Star talent show, which took place Saturday night in the Grand Ballroom of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. College Star showed the talents of seven performers, ranging from Rhythm and X-tacy dancing to a mash-up of different songs, a cover of “Rather Be” on the ukulele and singing by Alexa Gallione and tap dancing and singing by Keyana Latimer. There was also a gospel rap per- formed by Roosevelt and Russel Mar- tin and singing by a group called The Heartbreakers and a solo artist named Taleiya Baker. The performers were not the only ones having fun during College Star. Before the show, students danced to rap music while they waited for the show to begin.

By Maher Kawash Volleyball Reporter | @DEN_Sports

It was all or nothing for the Eastern volley- ball team the past few days as it wrapped up the final weekend of non-conference play for the season. The Panthers showed two sides in the tour- nament, winning one match in straight sets but also losing two in straight sets. The tournament took place in Starkville, Miss., and the Panthers faced off against Troy, Florida International and a Power 5 conference opponent Mississippi State. Eastern had most of its success in the tourna- ment against Troy and FIU but still gained plen- ty of experience facing off against a top dog such as Mississippi State. The highlight of the tournament came Satur- day morning as the Panthers pulled away with a sweeping victory over Troy. Not only was it Eastern’s first win of the tour- nament, but it was also the first win against Troy in program history, as the two teams have never faced off before. Although it was a sweeping win, all three sets in the match came down to the wire.

A late goal from Western Michigan downed Eastern 3-2 in the Sunday af- ternoon match. With the loss, Eastern falls to 2-3- 1 on the season, while Western Mich- igan improves to 6-1. The Panthers were able to answer when Western Michigan took the lead twice in the game. Western Michigan opened up the scoring in the 23rd minute by Jay McIntosh. His second goal of the season started from a corner kick by teammate Edu Jimenez. The corner kick was sent to the penalty box and was handled by Connor McNulty who passed it back out to McIntosh for the score. The Panthers answered back in the 35th minute with a goal by se- nior Miguel Carillo. Carillo shot the ball from 20 yards out and was able to beat the Broncos’ goalkeeper. The goal made the score 1-1 and it stayed that way going into halftime. Junior goalkeeper Mike Novot- ny got the start for Eastern and made two saves and gave up one goal in the first half.
