Eastern Illinois Defeats Vanderbilt, 2-1 Nashville, Tenn. — Jeff Stewardson scored his first goal of the season with 28 seconds remaining to lead Eastern Illinois to a 2-1 come-from-behind win over the Vanderbilt Commodores tonight in cool, damp and foggy conditions at Vanderbilt Stadium. It is the first home loss for the Commodores who now own a 6-8-1 overall record, 2-5 in Missouri Valley Conference action, and the first league win for the Panthers who are now 5-10, 1-5 in the MVC. Stewardson’s game winner was from 6-yards out and came after a behind-the-back touch pass from Mick Galeski in front of the net off a feed from Ryan Luckett. Trailing 1-0, the Panthers tied the game at the 85:05 mark when EIU’s leading scorer Jimmy Klatter scored his 10th goal of the season. His header from six-yards out went in the left side of the net off a pass from Galeski and a cross from Luckett. VU goalkeeper Jamie Burns came out to defend Galeski who made a quick pass to Klatter for the score. Junior John Krause collected his 11th goal of the season giving Vanderbilt a 1-0 lead at the 10:59 mark. Krause kicked in a rebound off Eastern Illinois goalkeeper Mike Sims after he deflected a shot by Joe Germanese. Krause and Germanese passed the ball back and forth with Germanese turning a Panther defender around. Sims made a diving save on the right side off Germanese’s 15-yard attempt, but Krause was in position to kick in the deflection. Vanderbilt outshot Eastern Illinois 11-9 led by Germanese and Krause with three each. Sims totaled two saves giving up the one goal, while Burns numbered three saves and allowed two goals.
