Students from all levels of theater experience took their chances in hopes of being cast in the upcoming play or musical. Students were scattered around Doudna to prepare for auditions for the musical, “9 to JORDAN BOYER | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS 5,” and the play, “The Moors.” Students fill out audition forms for the upcoming productions of “The Moors” and “9 to 5: The Musical” Tuesday afternoon in the Doudna Fine Of the group of students gathered in Arts Center.

The men’s soccer team dropped their second and final exhibition match of the season 2-1 as they traveled north against DePaul University on Tuesday afternoon. The game started on a rough note for Eastern as the team allowed two goals in the first 28 minutes of play. Eastern bounced back in the second half and got on the board with a score from sophomore Erik Isaksson off an assist from sophomore Jake Andrews in the 83rd minute but was unable to com- plete the comeback. Head coach Kiki Lara stressed stout defense prior to the game, and despite the loss, he remained optimistic. “Besides the two goals we gave up, there was an effort there to track runners in our box and protect our goalkeeper,” Lara said. “However, the game is a 90-minute marathon which involves ex- treme focus, and even one moment can cost you a match. That is still where we need to improve.” Eastern took a loss to Wiscon- sin, ranked 18th in the NCAA, last Tuesday in its first exhibition match of the season by a score of 2-0. “The matches exposed areas where we need to focus in on the next three to four weeks in or- der to get up to speed for Summit FILE PHOTO | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS (League) play,” Lara said. “The Eastern redshirt-junior Christian Sosnowski heads a ball away from a Saint Francis player in a 1-0 Eastern win last season at Lakeside Field.
