EIU SEARCHING FOR END TO WINLESS STREAK: The Panthers are currently O-for-October, compiling a 0-6-2 record this month. The current eight-game winless streak represents the program’s longest since an 0-9-1 stretch to end the 2003 campaign. Eastern has also lost four straight games for the first time since October 2004. The Panthers have been shutout four times during their current winless streak. ENGLISH CONNECTION: Two of EIU’s three Englishmen teamed up for the Panthers’ lone goal in the loss against Evansville. Freshman Ryan Child tied the game at 1-1 with his first career goal, with Alex Harrison setting up the score for his team-leading sixth assist. Jeff Kupiec and Jeremy Maubach also scored their first career goals in Valley games last season. MABEYA OFF THE BENCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ‘08: Patrick Mabeya did not start the Evansville game, coming off the bench for the first time since the IPFW game on Sept. 28, 2007. He had started 26 consecutive games, a streak that was the second longest on the team entering the UE game. Nick Bonacker, Alex Harrison and Brad Peters are now the only Panthers that have started every game this season. HOWARTH FAMILY WELCOMES A NEW MEMBER: Eastern head coach Adam Howarth and his wife Laura welcomed their third child into the world Tuesday, Oct. 28. The couple named the 7 lbs, 5 oz baby boy Simon. The moniker of choice keeps with the S-name theme in the Howarth home, as Sophie and Sebastian got a new brother this week. GARTNER’S STREAK ENDS: Adam Gartner picked up his fifth yellow card of the season late in the Oct. 18 game at Drake and was forced to sit out the subsquent match at Butler, ending his team-long consecutive games started streak at 57. The senior had been in the starting lineup for every game since the Oct. 30, 2004 game against Vanderbilt. Coincidentally, he missed that game due to a red card suspension... Since coming to EIU, the only game Gartner has played in but not started was Sept. 4, 2005 against Bowling Green – the second contest of his collegiate career.

GOING THE DISTANCE: Adam Gartner has played the entire game in 14 of the first 16 games this season. The UMKC game on Aug. 31 represents the only contest that he played in which he left the field. Chris Pearson, meanwhile, went the distance in each of the first six contests this season. He has played the entire game on 10 occasions. Among the field players, Brad Peters (12), Patrick Mabeya (10), Nick Bonacker (8), Darby Kehoe (7), Alex Harrison (5) and Evan Philpott (3) have also gone the distance on multiple occasions this season. GARTNER A CLASS FINALIST: Adam Gartner has been chosen one of 10 finalists nationally for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. He’s the first soccer player from the Missouri Valley Conference (men’s or women’s) to be a finalist. Panther fans can vote for Gartner at www.SeniorClassAward.com or via text message by sending S5 to 839863... Gartner’s all-around excellence as a student-athlete led to him being named a finalist. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the award was launched during the 2001-02 school year in response to the trend of college basketball players leaving college early to turn professional. In 2007 the sport of soccer was brought into the fold. In September, Gartner was named one of 30 candidates nationally. FIRST GOALS IN SPECIFIC SETTINGS: Darby Kehoe and Alex Harrison have accounted for EIU’s goals in the losses at Bradley and Drake, respectively. Kehoe’s goal was the third of his career, but first away from Lakeside Field. Harrison’s score was his 11th as a Panther, but first in Valley play... Kehoe’s goal ended a stretch in which Brad Peters and Harrison had accounted for each of EIU’s last seven scores. Everybody in on the Action: With Jeff Phillips registering his first assist of the season on Darby Kehoe’s goal at Bradley, 14 of the 18 EIU field players that have seen action this season have recorded a point. While Brad Peters and Alex Harrison have accounted for 15 of EIU’s 25 goals, the assists have been distributed more evenly. Twelve Panthers have registered at least one helper thus far. Giving up Three: A tough start to MVC play saw the Panthers surrender three goals in both losses at Bradley and Drake the opening week of Valley play. Eastern had not allowed three-plus goals in consecutive games since losing both ends of a Missouri State-Evansville weekend road trip in 2004. SCORELESS DRAWS RARE: Eastern’s scoreless draw against Oral Roberts was the program’s first since a 2006 game at Drake. The last double clean sheet at Lakeside Field for the EIU men was in 2003 against Vanderbilt. The Panthers have now played in six scoreless draws in their Valley years (1996-present). However, all of those results have occurred since the 2000 season.

played in consecutive draws for the first time since 1998. That year saw EIU close out the regular season with a 1-1 tie against No. 7 Creighton and battle Western Kentucky to a 2-2 draw in the opening round of the MVC Tournament. However, the Panthers advanced thanks to a shootout victory against WKU.
Consecutive Games Started
KEY SAVES in SCORELESS AFFAIR: With Mark Essary getting his first chance to start in the draw against Oral Roberts, Mark Hansen’s consecutive games started streak ended at 16. The senior did play the second half and both overtime periods, making a season-high six saves for the third time this year. He also got some help from his teammates. Jim Adee and Mike Lewis both accounted for a key second-half team save.
TEAM LEADERS IN MINUTES PLAYED
Peters Provides the Offensive Punch: Brad Peters scored twice in the Oct. 8 draw at Western, recording his seventh career multi-goal game. With 32 career goals, he has moved into fifth place on the EIU all-time list. Despite having played WIU each of his four seasons at Eastern, his two goals in Macomb Oct. 8 were his first against the Leathernecks. With one more score this season, Peters will become the first Panther in the program’s MVC era (1996-present) to record three doublefigure goal totals.

Long Time Since an East-West Draw: The 2-2 draw that Eastern and Western Illinois played to in Macomb Oct. 8 was the first since 1992 in the longstanding series. However, of the five draws that have gone into the record books in the 47 all-times meetings between the two schools, four have ended in 2-2 fashion. Dating back to last season, four of EIU’s last six draws have also ended with 2-2 scores. LATE START: With only five conference matches and the league opener not until Oct. 15, Eastern and Bradley were among the latest Division I schools in the country to open conference play. Only two schools start their league schedule later than October 15th. Adelphi (Oct. 18) and Howard (Oct. 25) of the Atlantic Soccer Conference both begin league play later. However, the ASC is only a fourteam league this year and has only three conference matches. Additionally, the ASC champion does not receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Coincidentally, Bradley defeated Howard in Peoria on Oct. 4.

Tough Week: Not only did EIU drop both of its games the first week of October, but the Panthers were also shutout at IUPUI and 21st-ranked Ohio State. The consecutive non-conference losses represent the program’s first since 2004. Eastern was last shutout in back-to-back games in 2006, against Creighton and Bradley. However, EIU had not suffered consecutive non-conference shutouts since 1997 (at Notre Dame and vs No. 18 Bowling Green)... One of the most impressive aspects of EIU’s 12-win 2007 campaign was the Panthers did not lose back-to-back games. 1-0 REVIVAL: The 1-0 loss at IUPUI Oct. 1 ended EIU’s fivegame winning streak in games ending in 1-0 fashion. The Panthers’ last 1-0 loss was against Creighton in October 2006. The program’s last 1-0 defeat in a non-conference game came against Detroit in the ‘06 season opener.
For Real, A Red Card?: Mike Picinich received the first straight red card for a Panther since 2006 in the 50th minute Sunday at Ohio State. He was sent off after colliding with the OSU goalkeeper on a 50-50 ball at the top of the 18-yard box. The red card came out after the ‘keeper took the brunt of the collision. A scoreless game at the time, the call swung the momentum in the home team’s favor and the Buckeyes went on score three times during 11-on-10 action... The red cards for Alex Harrison (at Evansville) and Chris Pearson (Bradley) last season were the result of two yellows. Brad Peters received the last straight red card, getting sent off at Bradley two years ago. HANSEN’S STREAK ENDS: Goalkeeper Mark Hansen recently posted a shutout streak of 259 minutes of game action. After surrendering a first-half goal (35th minute) in the draw at Northern Illinois on Sept. 14, he didn’t give up another one until the 45th minute of the loss at IUPUI. Wright State’s late goal in EIU’s 4-1 victory on Sept. 26 came with Mark Essary in the net... Hansen’s longest shutout streak last season was 436 minutes. CONFERENCE SUCCESS: Every Missouri Valley Conference team has put itself to the test, putting together challenging schedules from start to finish. As of Oct. 28, only Bradley’s opponents featured a combined winning percentage below .500. Eastern’s 2008 opponents feature the second best combined winning percentage of the six MVC teams. Valley teams, meanwhile, have combined for a 45-35-11 (.555) record.

Hats off to Peters: Brad Peters’ second career hat trick provided the majority of the offense in EIU’s 4-1 victory at Wright State Sept. 26. He scored his 30th career goal and 12th career gamewinner in the process. Peters has recorded two of EIU’s 12 hat tricks in program’s Valley era (1996present). His first was at IPFW in 2006... Alex Harrison, meanwhile, assisted on Peters’ second goal and scored himself in the second half, registering a goal and an assist in the same game for the third time this season.

PETERS EARNS HIS FIRST PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Brad Peters’ hat trick in the victory at Wright State was the second of his career, but it led to his first MVC Player of the Week award. Despite leading the Valley in goals each of the last two seasons, the senior forward had never received the weekly award from the conference office. He was also selected to the CollegeSoccerNews.com and TopDrawerSoccer.com National Teams of the Week for his three-goal effort... Stellar performances by his teammates were one of the reasons why Peters had yet to receive POW recognition. Twice last season, Mick Galeski one-upped Peters and took home the award. Earlier this year, Alex Harrison did likewise. Eastern has now had 10 MVC Player of the Week recipients since the start of the 2006 campaign. From 1998-2005, a Panther was honored 11 times. Five Goals at Home: The Panthers erupted for five goals in their first-ever meeting with Central Arkansas Sept. 20. An 8-0 victory against Illinois-Chicago in 2002 marked the last time an EIU team scored five goals in a game at Lakeside Field. The Panthers had scored five times in a game on three occasions since then but all three big efforts had come on the road, including at IPFW earlier this month. Five different EIU players – Mike Lewis, Alex Harrison, Mike Picinich, Darby Kehoe and Mitch Welsch – recorded an assist in the UCA win. NIU TOURNEY RECAP: Eastern Illinois was unable to pick up a win but did salvage a draw against Northern Illinois at the rainy NIU Invitational in DeKalb Sept. 12-14. The Panthers were done in by a second-half hat trick in the loss to Northwestern. Goalkeeper Mark Hansen responded with a seasonhigh six saves against NIU. The Panthers also withstood NIU’s 18 corner kick opportunities. Chris Pearson and Brad Peters represented EIU on the All-Tournament Team. Gartner Joins the Top 10: Adam Gartner assisted on EIU’s lone goal at the NIU Invitational, registering the 17th of his career and moving into 10th place on the program’s all-time list. Prior to last season when the now-graduated Mick Galeski also joined the Top 10 assists list, those career leaders had remained stagnant since 1993. Another Pearson Score in Tourney Play: Center back Chris Pearson has not only played all 560 minutes of the first six games this season, but also found time to score the game-tying goal in the draw against Northern Illinois Sunday. It was his fourth career goal, three of which have come in tournament games. As a freshman, he scored against Missouri State at the MVC Tournament and accounted for EIU’s first goal of last season at Bradley’s City Centre Classic. Burned by a Hat Trick: Matt Eliason scored all three of his team’s goals in 14th-ranked Northwestern’s 3-0 victory against the Panthers Sept 12. It marked the first time since September 2004 that an opponent posted a hat trick against Eastern. Nowaf Jaman of Western Illinois accomplished the feat in Macomb that season. During that time frame, an EIU player had accounted for three hat tricks: Jimmy Klatter vs. Longwood and at Evansville in 2005, and Brad Peters at IPFW in 2006. SCoRING STREAK ENDS: Northwestern’s shutout victory against EIU ended the Panthers’ regularseason scoring streak at 14 consecutive games. It marked the first time EIU was blanked in a regularseason game since Sept. 25, 2007 vs. Western Illinois. The 14-game streak was the longest of the program’s MVC era (1996-present). Previously, the longest MVC-era streak was 11, posted in 1998 when EIU scored in the first 11 contests of the season. Eastern compiled a 9-3-2 record during its 14game streak. In 2004, the Panthers scored in eight straight games but went just 2-6.... Eastern scored in each of the last 10 regular-season contests of the 2007 campaign. A shutout loss to Bradley in the ‘07 MVC Tournament ended the overall scoring streak at 11 games. HARRISON PLAYER OF THE WEEK: After scoring three times and setting up another goal as EIU swept its weekend road trip to Western Michigan and IPFW, Alex Harrison was named the MVC Offensive Player of the Week. The sophomore forward accounted for EIU’s final goal in the 2-0 win at WMU and two of the team’s first two scores in the 5-2 victory at IPFW. The Englishman currently leads the team with three goals and three assists, recording a point in each of the first four games. He also leads the league in points (9) while ranking second in goals and assists. Harrison scored three minutes and 31 seconds into the IPFW match, the quickest goal by a Panther since Brad Peters scored in the first minute against Valparaiso last year. He scored again 24 minutes later to record his second career multi-goal game. FRESHMAN’S FIRST GOAL A GAME-WINNER: Freshman Jeff Phillips scored EIU’s first goal in the win at Western Michigan and it proved to be the game-winner after the Panthers finished off the shutout. Phillips joined teammate Alex Harrison as active EIU players whose first career goal turned out to be the game-winner. However, when Harrison accomplished the feat last season, it was an overtime score in the first game of the year... In other freshman news, Mike Picinich has now started each of the first seven games of the year. Goalkeeper Mark Essary saw his first regular-season action against IPFW, playing the entire second half and being credited with two saves. He made his home debut in the Central Arkansas win. PETERS NAMED TO HERMANN WATCH LIST: Brad Peters has been named to the preseason Watch List for the most prestigious award in collegiate soccer, the Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy. The initial list is comprised of 48 NCAA Division I players, including the 2007 recipient, O’Brian White of the University of Connecticut. The Hermann Trophy winner is selected by DI head coaches that are members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The list is reduced to 15 semifinalists by a coaches committee in November, from which the three finalists are later chosen. The Missouri Athletic Club will announce the winner Jan. 9 in St. Louis... Peters was one of three Missouri Valley Conference players selected to the preseason Watch List, joining Creighton’s Byron Dacy and Andrei Gotsmanov.

EIU SEARCHING FOR END TO WINLESS STREAK: The Panthers are currently O-for-October, compiling a 0-6-2 record this month. The current eight-game winless streak represents the program’s longest since an 0-9-1 stretch to end the 2003 campaign. Eastern has also lost four straight games for the first time since October 2004. The Panthers have been shutout four times during their current winless streak. ENGLISH CONNECTION: Two of EIU’s three Englishmen teamed up for the Panthers’ lone goal in the loss against Evansville. Freshman Ryan Child tied the game at 1-1 with his first career goal, with Alex Harrison setting up the score for his team-leading sixth assist. Jeff Kupiec and Jeremy Maubach also scored their first career goals in Valley games last season. MABEYA OFF THE BENCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ‘08: Patrick Mabeya did not start the Evansville game, coming off the bench for the first time since the IPFW game on Sept. 28, 2007. He had started 26 consecutive games, a streak that was the second longest on the team entering the UE game. Nick Bonacker, Alex Harrison and Brad Peters are now the only Panthers that have started every game this season. HOWARTH FAMILY WELCOMES A NEW MEMBER: Eastern head coach Adam Howarth and his wife Laura welcomed their third child into the world Tuesday, Oct. 28. The couple named the 7 lbs, 5 oz baby boy Simon. The moniker of choice keeps with the S-name theme in the Howarth home, as Sophie and Sebastian got a new brother this week. GARTNER’S STREAK ENDS: Adam Gartner picked up his fifth yellow card of the season late in the Oct. 18 game at Drake and was forced to sit out the subsquent match at Butler, ending his team-long consecutive games started streak at 57. The senior had been in the starting lineup for every game since the Oct. 30, 2004 game against Vanderbilt. Coincidentally, he missed that game due to a red card suspension... Since coming to EIU, the only game Gartner has played in but not started was Sept. 4, 2005 against Bowling Green – the second contest of his collegiate career.

GOING THE DISTANCE: Adam Gartner has played the entire game in 14 of the first 16 games this season. The UMKC game on Aug. 31 represents the only contest that he played in which he left the field. Chris Pearson, meanwhile, went the distance in each of the first six contests this season. He has played the entire game on 10 occasions. Among the field players, Brad Peters (12), Patrick Mabeya (10), Nick Bonacker (8), Darby Kehoe (7), Alex Harrison (5) and Evan Philpott (3) have also gone the distance on multiple occasions this season. GARTNER A CLASS FINALIST: Adam Gartner has been chosen one of 10 finalists nationally for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. He’s the first soccer player from the Missouri Valley Conference (men’s or women’s) to be a finalist. Panther fans can vote for Gartner at www.SeniorClassAward.com or via text message by sending S5 to 839863... Gartner’s all-around excellence as a student-athlete led to him being named a finalist. An acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School, the award was launched during the 2001-02 school year in response to the trend of college basketball players leaving college early to turn professional. In 2007 the sport of soccer was brought into the fold. In September, Gartner was named one of 30 candidates nationally. FIRST GOALS IN SPECIFIC SETTINGS: Darby Kehoe and Alex Harrison have accounted for EIU’s goals in the losses at Bradley and Drake, respectively. Kehoe’s goal was the third of his career, but first away from Lakeside Field. Harrison’s score was his 11th as a Panther, but first in Valley play... Kehoe’s goal ended a stretch in which Brad Peters and Harrison had accounted for each of EIU’s last seven scores. Everybody in on the Action: With Jeff Phillips registering his first assist of the season on Darby Kehoe’s goal at Bradley, 14 of the 18 EIU field players that have seen action this season have recorded a point. While Brad Peters and Alex Harrison have accounted for 15 of EIU’s 25 goals, the assists have been distributed more evenly. Twelve Panthers have registered at least one helper thus far. Giving up Three: A tough start to MVC play saw the Panthers surrender three goals in both losses at Bradley and Drake the opening week of Valley play. Eastern had not allowed three-plus goals in consecutive games since losing both ends of a Missouri State-Evansville weekend road trip in 2004. SCORELESS DRAWS RARE: Eastern’s scoreless draw against Oral Roberts was the program’s first since a 2006 game at Drake. The last double clean sheet at Lakeside Field for the EIU men was in 2003 against Vanderbilt. The Panthers have now played in six scoreless draws in their Valley years (1996-present). However, all of those results have occurred since the 2000 season.

played in consecutive draws for the first time since 1998. That year saw EIU close out the regular season with a 1-1 tie against No. 7 Creighton and battle Western Kentucky to a 2-2 draw in the opening round of the MVC Tournament. However, the Panthers advanced thanks to a shootout victory against WKU.
Consecutive Games Started
KEY SAVES in SCORELESS AFFAIR: With Mark Essary getting his first chance to start in the draw against Oral Roberts, Mark Hansen’s consecutive games started streak ended at 16. The senior did play the second half and both overtime periods, making a season-high six saves for the third time this year. He also got some help from his teammates. Jim Adee and Mike Lewis both accounted for a key second-half team save.
TEAM LEADERS IN MINUTES PLAYED
Peters Provides the Offensive Punch: Brad Peters scored twice in the Oct. 8 draw at Western, recording his seventh career multi-goal game. With 32 career goals, he has moved into fifth place on the EIU all-time list. Despite having played WIU each of his four seasons at Eastern, his two goals in Macomb Oct. 8 were his first against the Leathernecks. With one more score this season, Peters will become the first Panther in the program’s MVC era (1996-present) to record three doublefigure goal totals.

Long Time Since an East-West Draw: The 2-2 draw that Eastern and Western Illinois played to in Macomb Oct. 8 was the first since 1992 in the longstanding series. However, of the five draws that have gone into the record books in the 47 all-times meetings between the two schools, four have ended in 2-2 fashion. Dating back to last season, four of EIU’s last six draws have also ended with 2-2 scores. LATE START: With only five conference matches and the league opener not until Oct. 15, Eastern and Bradley were among the latest Division I schools in the country to open conference play. Only two schools start their league schedule later than October 15th. Adelphi (Oct. 18) and Howard (Oct. 25) of the Atlantic Soccer Conference both begin league play later. However, the ASC is only a fourteam league this year and has only three conference matches. Additionally, the ASC champion does not receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Coincidentally, Bradley defeated Howard in Peoria on Oct. 4.

Tough Week: Not only did EIU drop both of its games the first week of October, but the Panthers were also shutout at IUPUI and 21st-ranked Ohio State. The consecutive non-conference losses represent the program’s first since 2004. Eastern was last shutout in back-to-back games in 2006, against Creighton and Bradley. However, EIU had not suffered consecutive non-conference shutouts since 1997 (at Notre Dame and vs No. 18 Bowling Green)... One of the most impressive aspects of EIU’s 12-win 2007 campaign was the Panthers did not lose back-to-back games. 1-0 REVIVAL: The 1-0 loss at IUPUI Oct. 1 ended EIU’s fivegame winning streak in games ending in 1-0 fashion. The Panthers’ last 1-0 loss was against Creighton in October 2006. The program’s last 1-0 defeat in a non-conference game came against Detroit in the ‘06 season opener.
For Real, A Red Card?: Mike Picinich received the first straight red card for a Panther since 2006 in the 50th minute Sunday at Ohio State. He was sent off after colliding with the OSU goalkeeper on a 50-50 ball at the top of the 18-yard box. The red card came out after the ‘keeper took the brunt of the collision. A scoreless game at the time, the call swung the momentum in the home team’s favor and the Buckeyes went on score three times during 11-on-10 action... The red cards for Alex Harrison (at Evansville) and Chris Pearson (Bradley) last season were the result of two yellows. Brad Peters received the last straight red card, getting sent off at Bradley two years ago. HANSEN’S STREAK ENDS: Goalkeeper Mark Hansen recently posted a shutout streak of 259 minutes of game action. After surrendering a first-half goal (35th minute) in the draw at Northern Illinois on Sept. 14, he didn’t give up another one until the 45th minute of the loss at IUPUI. Wright State’s late goal in EIU’s 4-1 victory on Sept. 26 came with Mark Essary in the net... Hansen’s longest shutout streak last season was 436 minutes. CONFERENCE SUCCESS: Every Missouri Valley Conference team has put itself to the test, putting together challenging schedules from start to finish. As of Oct. 28, only Bradley’s opponents featured a combined winning percentage below .500. Eastern’s 2008 opponents feature the second best combined winning percentage of the six MVC teams. Valley teams, meanwhile, have combined for a 45-35-11 (.555) record.

Hats off to Peters: Brad Peters’ second career hat trick provided the majority of the offense in EIU’s 4-1 victory at Wright State Sept. 26. He scored his 30th career goal and 12th career gamewinner in the process. Peters has recorded two of EIU’s 12 hat tricks in program’s Valley era (1996present). His first was at IPFW in 2006... Alex Harrison, meanwhile, assisted on Peters’ second goal and scored himself in the second half, registering a goal and an assist in the same game for the third time this season.

PETERS EARNS HIS FIRST PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Brad Peters’ hat trick in the victory at Wright State was the second of his career, but it led to his first MVC Player of the Week award. Despite leading the Valley in goals each of the last two seasons, the senior forward had never received the weekly award from the conference office. He was also selected to the CollegeSoccerNews.com and TopDrawerSoccer.com National Teams of the Week for his three-goal effort... Stellar performances by his teammates were one of the reasons why Peters had yet to receive POW recognition. Twice last season, Mick Galeski one-upped Peters and took home the award. Earlier this year, Alex Harrison did likewise. Eastern has now had 10 MVC Player of the Week recipients since the start of the 2006 campaign. From 1998-2005, a Panther was honored 11 times. Five Goals at Home: The Panthers erupted for five goals in their first-ever meeting with Central Arkansas Sept. 20. An 8-0 victory against Illinois-Chicago in 2002 marked the last time an EIU team scored five goals in a game at Lakeside Field. The Panthers had scored five times in a game on three occasions since then but all three big efforts had come on the road, including at IPFW earlier this month. Five different EIU players – Mike Lewis, Alex Harrison, Mike Picinich, Darby Kehoe and Mitch Welsch – recorded an assist in the UCA win. NIU TOURNEY RECAP: Eastern Illinois was unable to pick up a win but did salvage a draw against Northern Illinois at the rainy NIU Invitational in DeKalb Sept. 12-14. The Panthers were done in by a second-half hat trick in the loss to Northwestern. Goalkeeper Mark Hansen responded with a seasonhigh six saves against NIU. The Panthers also withstood NIU’s 18 corner kick opportunities. Chris Pearson and Brad Peters represented EIU on the All-Tournament Team. Gartner Joins the Top 10: Adam Gartner assisted on EIU’s lone goal at the NIU Invitational, registering the 17th of his career and moving into 10th place on the program’s all-time list. Prior to last season when the now-graduated Mick Galeski also joined the Top 10 assists list, those career leaders had remained stagnant since 1993. Another Pearson Score in Tourney Play: Center back Chris Pearson has not only played all 560 minutes of the first six games this season, but also found time to score the game-tying goal in the draw against Northern Illinois Sunday. It was his fourth career goal, three of which have come in tournament games. As a freshman, he scored against Missouri State at the MVC Tournament and accounted for EIU’s first goal of last season at Bradley’s City Centre Classic. Burned by a Hat Trick: Matt Eliason scored all three of his team’s goals in 14th-ranked Northwestern’s 3-0 victory against the Panthers Sept 12. It marked the first time since September 2004 that an opponent posted a hat trick against Eastern. Nowaf Jaman of Western Illinois accomplished the feat in Macomb that season. During that time frame, an EIU player had accounted for three hat tricks: Jimmy Klatter vs. Longwood and at Evansville in 2005, and Brad Peters at IPFW in 2006. SCoRING STREAK ENDS: Northwestern’s shutout victory against EIU ended the Panthers’ regularseason scoring streak at 14 consecutive games. It marked the first time EIU was blanked in a regularseason game since Sept. 25, 2007 vs. Western Illinois. The 14-game streak was the longest of the program’s MVC era (1996-present). Previously, the longest MVC-era streak was 11, posted in 1998 when EIU scored in the first 11 contests of the season. Eastern compiled a 9-3-2 record during its 14game streak. In 2004, the Panthers scored in eight straight games but went just 2-6.... Eastern scored in each of the last 10 regular-season contests of the 2007 campaign. A shutout loss to Bradley in the ‘07 MVC Tournament ended the overall scoring streak at 11 games. HARRISON PLAYER OF THE WEEK: After scoring three times and setting up another goal as EIU swept its weekend road trip to Western Michigan and IPFW, Alex Harrison was named the MVC Offensive Player of the Week. The sophomore forward accounted for EIU’s final goal in the 2-0 win at WMU and two of the team’s first two scores in the 5-2 victory at IPFW. The Englishman currently leads the team with three goals and three assists, recording a point in each of the first four games. He also leads the league in points (9) while ranking second in goals and assists. Harrison scored three minutes and 31 seconds into the IPFW match, the quickest goal by a Panther since Brad Peters scored in the first minute against Valparaiso last year. He scored again 24 minutes later to record his second career multi-goal game. FRESHMAN’S FIRST GOAL A GAME-WINNER: Freshman Jeff Phillips scored EIU’s first goal in the win at Western Michigan and it proved to be the game-winner after the Panthers finished off the shutout. Phillips joined teammate Alex Harrison as active EIU players whose first career goal turned out to be the game-winner. However, when Harrison accomplished the feat last season, it was an overtime score in the first game of the year... In other freshman news, Mike Picinich has now started each of the first seven games of the year. Goalkeeper Mark Essary saw his first regular-season action against IPFW, playing the entire second half and being credited with two saves. He made his home debut in the Central Arkansas win. PETERS NAMED TO HERMANN WATCH LIST: Brad Peters has been named to the preseason Watch List for the most prestigious award in collegiate soccer, the Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy. The initial list is comprised of 48 NCAA Division I players, including the 2007 recipient, O’Brian White of the University of Connecticut. The Hermann Trophy winner is selected by DI head coaches that are members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. The list is reduced to 15 semifinalists by a coaches committee in November, from which the three finalists are later chosen. The Missouri Athletic Club will announce the winner Jan. 9 in St. Louis... Peters was one of three Missouri Valley Conference players selected to the preseason Watch List, joining Creighton’s Byron Dacy and Andrei Gotsmanov.
