One woman, who sat in the back of the room, said she felt Eastern should have more mul- ticultural aspects and courses, which then garnered a consensus of a need for more events direct- ed toward minorities. Mona Davenport, the director of minority affairs, and Lambert disagreed. Both mentioned to the stu- dents that there were many mul- ticultural offered on campus such as Latin American Heritage Month and Black History Month. Shamerea Richards, a senior communications major, said Af- rican-American students should also go to some of the other mul- ticultural events put on by the other organizations. Richards said many of the oth- er minorities on campus may feel the same as African-Americans, so speaking to them would be a great experience for the incoming freshman. “Get cultured.

The Eastern women’s soccer team registered a season-high 10 shots in Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Louisiana Tech at Lakeside Field. Senior forward Meagan Radloff led the way with four shots. She had an assist in Eastern’s only goal of the match. Red-shirt junior Chris Reed, who scored the goal, had two shots, as did junior Briana Hickman. In the Panthers’ previous three matches, they recorded less than five shots, with four each against North- ern Kentucky and Marshall and five against Indiana State. Eastern head coach Jason Cherry said he was happy to see the team tak- ing more risks offensively and hopes that continues. “I’m happy we finally got some shots because I think we’ve been holding back, attacking-wise,” he said. “It was good to see them taking some more risks.” Radloff leads the team with five shots in her first four matches. She finished the 2013 season with 45 to- tal and three in her first four matches, all coming in the team’s season open- er against Oakland, which ended in a 5-1 loss. Radloff’s highest single-match shot performances of 2013 came against Ohio Valley Conference op- ponents Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky, with five in each of those matches. She had two goals against Tennessee Tech and one against East- ern Kentucky. Eastern won both JASON HOWELL | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS matches.

By Aldo Soto Sports Editor | @AldoSoto21

The Eastern football team wel- comes in-state rival Southern Illi- nois-Carbondale for the Panthers’ first home game of the season starting at 6 p.m. Saturday at O’Brien Field.

The series Last year, Eastern played in Car- bondale and after getting out to a 14-3 lead in the first quarter the Pan- thers had to go into double overtime to win 40-37. The three-point win was the closest game that Eastern played in last sea- son not including its two losses. With the victory, the Panthers clawed closer to the Salukis in the overall series, but Southern still has a 41-26-1 record against Eastern all- time. Southern also has a 16-15-1 re- cord in Charleston. Eastern head coach Kim Dameron was the defensive coordinator in 2000 for the Panthers, but did not face the Salukis that year.
