THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS I FRIDAY 10.27.()6 YOWYBALL I WEEKEND MATCHES Panther Briefs Rugby looks to keep unbeaten streak alive

Eastern defeated Georgia 37-0 Wednesday in Athens, Ga. The Panthers (7-0) will look to keep its unbeaten streak alive Saturday when it plays Florida in Oemson, S.C. The game against Georgia was an addition to the schedule because of two canceled games earlier in the season. The final game added to the Panthers schedule was a road contest with Loyola (Chicago). The Panthers have only given up 10 points all year and have outscored Its opponents 2 41-0 in Its last lour matches.

WOMEN'S SOCCER Former Panther earns hoDOr Beth Aussin was honored by the Missouri Valley Conference Friday as one of the all-centennial players. Aussin, who played at Eastern from 1995 to 1998, still holds the MVC record for career assists with 44. Aussin was one of 21 players selected by the MVC, which is celebrating its 1OOth year, to the centennial squad. · Aussin finished her Eastern career with 39 goals, 44 assists. nine game-winning goals and 122 points. All of these statistics are still in the top three at Eastern.

Sophomore outside hitter Caitlin Balsam bumps up the ball during the Homecoming game last Saturday at Lantz Arena. "Beth was a leader, especially through her play on the field," said former EIU head coach Steve Ballard in a press release.

Eastern has played in some big CROSS COUNTRY I OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS games in the past. A first-round playoff game last season against Southern Illinois along with a Division II national title game in 1978 and 1979. But for Mark Hutson (above) and his team, Saturday's game at Ohio Valley Conference foe Tennessee-Martin is by far the biggest game of the season. Here are three reasons why the game against Martin is so important for Eastern.

t . OVC dominance - 13 games and counting. That is the Panthers' winning streak in conference play. Four games and counting. That is the Skyhawks OVC winning streak. The Panthers are the trendsetter in the conference. If Martin is able to come away with a win, a new team will be looked up to in the OVC. And that team won't be Eastern.

2. Playoff berth on line - The Panthers didn't come out of their non­ conference schedule unscathed. Two losses to I-A teams are understandable and the loss to Illinois State looks better now because the Redbirds are third in the nation. llOlllE WROILEWSIQ I THE DAILT WTBUI llEWS A loss to Martin Saturday puts an Freshman Erin O'Grady runs during practice Thursday in Lantz Fieldhouse.

Eastern already ran at the course in September and they feel they can use that to their Eastern not in control of its own destiny. advantage. "If we don't follow the race plan, having run there a month ago will do nothing for us," head coach Geoff Masanet said.

3. Moving up the polls - No. 12 Martin is two spots ahead of Eastern in the Sports Network Poll. With three other I-AA games being played this weekend that involve six teams ahead of Eastern, a Panther win Down to one meet should get them into the Top 10. Nthough the coaches say they don't Men expected to contend for championship while women hoping for a top three finish; Eastern pay attention to the polls, there is a little extra motivation because Martin has already ran on site of race and expects to use that aspect tq their advantage is ranked higher than Eastern.
