The Eastern men's and women's track teams had impressive performances as they hosted the 'Friday Night Special.'

The Eastern women's swim team led wire-to wire at the Midwest Classic Championship this weekend in Indianapolis to win their first title in more than 10 years.

Eastern had an idea of what it was getting into when it was scheduled to wrestle No. 15 Purdue. Saturday at the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility, the team got it.

At the beginning of the season, I had doubts about the Eastern men's basketball team. Who will help Henry Domercant carry the load on offense? What will the Panthers do if Domercant gets hurt? What if Henry isn't able to carry the team like he did last year? (Sense a theme?)

On Senior Night at Lantz Arena, Eastern was able to stay close to the conference leading Austin Peay Governors, but in the end could not hold on in a 68-56 loss. After holding Austin Peay against the ropes for most of the first 20 minutes, the Governors overall athleticism took over in the second half.

Thursday's Senior Night game against Murray State will go down in Eastern men's basketball history.

So There learned this week Rick Samuels and Justin Timberlake of boy-band fame have something in common.

Both Eastern teams will be back in action this Friday as they host the 'Friday Night Special' at the Lantz Fieldhouse.

On a night where senior guard Henry Domercant picked up Panther head coach Rick Samuels during Senior Night celebrations, his fellow teammates carried the nation's third-leading scorer.

Eastern men's and women's swim teams will end their season this weekend at the Midwest Classic Championships held in Indianapolis. The men will be looking to erase the bad memories of their last performance Feb. 8, when they were defeated by the Saint Louis Billikens 125-112.

Eastern head coach Rick Samuels is not as confident as he usually is before the Panthers play a home game.

Ohio Valley Conference women's basketball has few questions remaining in the closing weeks of the season.
