BENGALS PLAYER MOVE
The Bengals today cleared fourth-year LB Vontaze Burfict to resume practicing with the team. Burfict may practice without counting against the 53-player roster limit for a period of up to 21 days. He remains on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list, where he was placed Sept. 5 due to need for continuing rehab of a knee injury.
Burfict could be activated to the roster at any time during the 21-day period, per club decision.
Burfict was the Bengals’ leading tackler in both 2012 and 2013, and he was a Pro Bowl selection for the ’13 season. He played in five games last season. He was placed on the Reserve/Injured list on Dec. 9 of last year, due to a knee injury suffered Oct. 26 vs. Baltimore.
DePauw (12-4, 11-2 NCAC) took control by scoring three first half goals. The Tigers would stretch their lead to five with two goals in the first ten minutes of the second half.
Junior Megan Hut used a pass from freshman Maite Turlings to score Earlham’s lone goal in the 64th minute. DePauw added the final goal 90 seconds later.
Earlham fired three shots in both the first and the second half for a total of six shots. DePauw had 15 and nine on net. The Quakers did earn seven penalty corners compared to five for the Tigers.
Senior goalkeeper Kate Korobkina made three saves in the loss.
Earlham sits at 4-12 on the season and 3-10 in NCAC play. The Quakers finish their 2015 season with Saturday game against Wittenberg. The game is slated to begin at 11 a.m.
The Quakers got off to a fast start in the first set winning five of the first six points of the match. The Yellow Jackets soared back, however, and took set one. After a dropping set two, Earlham found itself tied 8-8 in set three. Defiance won six of the next nine points to take a 14-11 advantage, but the Quakers cut the deficit to two points by forcing the Yellow Jackets into three consecutive attack errors. Ultimately, Defiance used aggressive serving to keep the Quakers out of system and pull away for the set three victory.
Defiance had 13 service aces compared to just four errors on the day. Earlham won the block game, however, with four team blocks compared to three for Defiance.
Individually, freshmen Ashleigh Burton and Denisha Mataia each tallied eight kills with Burton hitting a .294 clip. Mataia, sophomore Kayla Morris, and freshman Jessica Dammeyer each added seven digs to bolster the Quakers’ back row. Senior Britney Ware added three digs in the final home match of her career.
Mereidth Shank led Defiance with nine kills.
Earlham plays the final match of its 2015 season on Saturday at Manchester. First serve is slated for 1 p.m.
