The Summit League men’s soccer reg- ular season ends with a slate of matches this upcoming weekend, and the stand- ings have plenty of room to change pri- or to the conference tournament. The cream of the conference crop, Denver (12-3-2, 3-0-1 SL) stands alone in first place, but despite a strong season overall, the Pioneers may be in a posi- tion to have the number one seed sto- len. Denver has yet to lose a conference matchup, but a 0-0 draw to Eastern back in September leaves the team need- ing a win to secure the top spot come playoff time with Omaha (5-7-1, 3-1 SL) nipping at the Pioneers’ heels. Denver’s two matches last week came outside the conference, downing Saint Louis 2-1 last Tuesday and falling to Stanford 0-1 on Friday. The Pioneers’ sophomore goalkeeper Will Palmquist was awarded the Sum- mit League Defensive Player of the Week award yesterday after allowing only one goal on 23 shots against Stan- ford. Palmquist has claimed the honor twice this season as Denver now ranks 28th in the nation according to NCAA men’s soccer RPI.

Last season did not go as planned for the Eastern women’s basketball team un- der first-year head coach Matt Bollant. The team lost point guard Grace Len- nox, the team’s main creator on offense, just eight games into the season, and af- ter that, Bollant was forced to play an in- credibly young starting lineup of fresh- men and sophomores. Eastern finished the season just 3-26. With Bollant at the helm of the team, many expected the team led by him and Lennox to put together a season better than three wins, but circumstances did not allow that to happen. Eastern’s 3-26 record last year is likely what is responsible for the Panthers be- ing selected to finish in 11th place in the OVC this year. But, because of the respect many have for Bollant around the conference and the return of Lennox to the team, East- ern thinks it will be better, and even some opposing coaches felt the preseason rankings may have been sleeping on this Eastern team. The main reason for people feel- ing Eastern may be ranked too low is the combination of Bollant and Len- nox. Bollant is viewed as one of the best coaches in the OVC by his peers, and Lennox is considered by some to be a top-five player in the conference. Those two alone, some feel, will be able to lift the team above three wins.
