While most students are with their families for the Thanksgiving holiday, some Eastern Michigan University teams will be in action, so here is this week’s schedule:
The Eastern Michigan University volleyball team won its quarterfinal and semifinal matches of the Mid-American Conference Championship over the weekend – a five-set thriller over the University of Toledo Rockets on Friday night and a straight set sweep over Western Michigan University on Saturday.
After scoring six points against Cleveland State University, Ray Lee responded with a vengeance by scoring a career-high 38 in EMU’s 74-69 win over the University of Texas at Arlington on Saturday night at the Convocation Center to move to 5-0 for the first time since the 1996-97 season. Lee was on top of his game as he went 5-for-5 from three-point range, 12-for-15 shooting and 9-for-12 from the foul line.
Eastern Michigan University’s 65 total yards was 495 short of Bowling Green State University’s total on Saturday. Only four of those yards came from the Eagles’ passing game in a 58-7 loss to BGSU on Senior Day at Rynearson Stadium. “We tried about everything we had,” interim coach Stan Parrish said.
The Eastern Michigan University wrestling team kicked off its 2013-2014 season Saturday in East Lansing, led by redshirt–senior Phillip Joseph who finished third-place in the 184 lb. weight class.
Eastern Michigan University men’s club hockey snapped their six-game losing streak this weekend with two games against the Rochester College Warriors. The Eagles dominated both nights with scores of 5-2 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday. Andrew Duff was solid in net all weekend, allowing only five goals on seventy shots.
The Eastern Michigan University volleyball team headed into Mount Pleasant on Thu. Nov. 14 to take on the Central Michigan University Chippewas. The Eagles swept Central Michigan, 3-0.
The Eastern Michigan University volleyball team headed to Kent, Ohio, on Sat. Nov. 16, with a Mid-American Conference Championship tournament spot on the line. The Eagles defeated the Kent State University Golden Flashes three sets to one.

For Eastern Michigan University, stringing wins together has been a challenge over the past two seasons. The last time the team won back-to-back games was in 2011, over Central Michigan University and Western Michigan University.
When the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball team needed it a boost in the second half, Karrington Ward stepped up and delivered in the 81-69 victory against the Cleveland State University Vikings at the Convocation Center on Mon.
Behind 19 points from redshirt junior Olivia Fouty, the Eastern Michigan University women’s basketball team moves to 3-0 for the first time since the 2009-10 season with a 84-70 road win over the Cleveland State University Vikings at the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio. Fouty scored 19 on 7-of-14 shooting, 1-of-3 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the foul line to go along with five rebounds and four assists. “I am not as hesitant to get my shot blocked,” Fouty said about her willingness to go after the ball more on WEMU Radio’s Postgame. Freshman guard Cha Sweeney added 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting and 7-of-10 from the charity stripe to go along with four assists and three steals in 32 minutes. Off the bench, Jamaica Bucknor put a solid effort together with nine points and eight rebounds in 18 minutes. For Cleveland State (1-2), juniors Imani Gordon and Cori Coleman each scored 15 points. Junior guard Kiersten Green scored 13 on 4-of-11 from the field, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 1-of-3 from the foul line to go along with four rebounds.
With a 2013 MAC Regular Season Championship and a bevy of individual accolades, one would think the women’s soccer season was a rousing success. But when you talk to head coach Scott Hall about the season, you can’t help but feel that they believe something is missing.
With Thanksgiving break on the horizon, here are some chances to see EMU Athletics in action:
Following a Mid-American Conference regular season title, the Eastern Michigan University women’s soccer team earned an array of individual awards, including six All-MAC team honors, both Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year awards, as well as the Coach of the Year award.
