EIU 3, TSU , 22-25, 25-22, GOING TO BE A CAT FIGHT : The Panthers of Eastern Illinois host the Tigers of Tennessee State in Eastern s home Ohio Valley Conference opener, after starting league play this past week with three consecutive road matches. BOYKINS TABBED FOR FIRST CAREER OVC WEEKLY HONOR: Sophomore middle blocker Melanie Boykins earned this past week s Offensive Player of the Week award following a nice weekend of action. She set a new personal high single-match kill total of 16 put-a-ways at JSU, while also hitting.542 in the match behind just three hitting errors. She only had three errors in EIU s win at TTU as well, smashing 13 kills off a.345 attack. This marks the first weekly honor earned by a Panther volleyball player since the 2006 season, when current student assistant coach Shaina Boylan nabbed the Defensive Player of the Week honor in early September of that year. SCOUTING THE TIGERS: TSU is currently 1-10 overall and 0-1 in OVC action, after recently losing to the Panthers Saturday afternoon opponent, Austin Peay. The Tigers dropped a four-set affair at Peay by scores of 25-11, 19-25, 25-12, Their lone victory of the season was against ULM back on August 29. TSU is led by sophomore Terakka Walker s 93 kills, while setter Yamari Padilla- Collazo not only runs the offense but also sports the best hitting percentage on the team, behind a.301 mark and 44 kills. She also has 321 assists so far in her final year in the Tiger lineup. Defensively, libero Calasia Williams has 115 digs, but Walker is a close second with 110 ups. At the net, junior Vicmari Prospero has 19 total blocks. The Tigers trail their opposition in every stat category except in attempts, as TSU has a 1357 to 1184 advantage in attacks. PANTHERS DOWNED TSU TWICE LAST SEASON: During the Panthers less than ideal 2008 campaign, the only squad that EIU defeated in OVC action was the TSU Tigers, beating them in a five-game thriller at home, STAT COMPARISONS -- EIU & TSU... Team statistical comparisons EIU STAT CATEGORY TSU 649 (12.25)...Kills (kps) (11.13) Hitting % Opponent Hitting % (11.49)... Assists (aps) (10.08) 56 (1.06)...Aces (aps)...52 (1.37) 846 (15.96)... Digs (dps) (12.66) (2.17)...Blocks (bps) (1.24) before taking a four-set match down in Nashville Eastern s secondto-last match of the season. The Panthers pretty much own the all-time series over TSU, enjoying a 21-3 advantage. 31 AND COUNTING: After two consecutive double-double killdig performances this past week, junior outside hitter Alex Zwettler now has 31 career duo-duo performances under her belt, including nine this season. She had 16 kills/18 digs in EIU s crucial sweep of defending OVC champ Tennessee Tech on Saturday, and then registered a 14 kill/16 dig match in Eastern s recent four-set loss at Murray State this past Tuesday night.
