#Tweagles Talk: Samantha Himmelspach
Are you not getting enough puppy pictures in your daily diet? Well, good news - Samantha Himmelspach will provide plenty. Take a look at the Eagles' defensive specialist in this edition of #Tweagles Talk!
Q. What is your Twitter handle and how did you come up with it?
A: @SHimmelspach, Really not that creative just mashed my name together
Q. How often do you check Twitter?
A: Usually two to three times a day on average, sometimes I forget all about it though!
Q. What would you say is your average number of Tweets?
A: On average I usually tweet about 2-3 times a day! However, I tweet the most after big wins for ECVB (@ECEagles_VB) or if Cute Emergency (@CuteEmergency) is really upping their game on cute puppies for the day! (I retweet those often)
Q. Which of your teammates has the best Tweets and why?
A: I would say that the teammates with the best tweets are Katie Wedvick (@kwedvick) and Jessi Martin (@JessiMartin_11) mainly because all three of our tweets are of cute puppies and the obnoxious amount of food we like to eat!
Q. The people I follow in volleyball are…
Q. Someone who you wouldn’t think I follow is…
A: The entire casts of Scandal (@ScandalABC)and Grey's Anatomy (@GreysABC). However, the people who know me probably aren't that surprised by that!
Q. The people whose tweets you can’t miss…
A: Liz Evans (@MITSUK0_) because all she does is make fun of herself for being tall and awkward; especially around attractive men!
Q. I wish _____ was on Twitter.
Q. What Edgewood College coach or athlete do you wish was on Twitter?
A: Other than Paul, I would have to say Lindsey Swansby, mainly because she's a quiet girl but the one-liners that come out of her mouth are something nobody should miss!
If you have not seen the Edgewood College volleyball team in action this season, get to the Todd Wehr Edgedome this Saturday for a big Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference match against Dominican University! Gametime is at noon. If you can't make it Saturday, take a look at the rest of the Eagles' schedule to plan an outing.

Summer of the Eagles: Summer baseball leagues
 |
| Andrew Lauritzen |
Rising senior pitcher Trevor Koehn played the first half of the season with the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters of the Northwoods League. Koehn made five appearances and got stronger nearly every time out of bull pen. He went 1-1, picking up his first win on June 30 when he threw three innings of shutout ball, which gave the Rafters the chance to rally from behind for an 8-6 victory over the La Crosse Loggers. Koehn had a 3.68 earned run average in 14.2 innings pitched, while striking out seven batters. The Northwoods League is generally considered one of the nation's top wood bat collegiate summer leagues.
Andrew Lauritzen picked up right where he left off at the end of his freshman season for the Eagles. Laurtizen, playing for the Olympia (Wash.) Athletics in the Puget Sound Collegiate League, leads the entire PSCL in batting average (.500) and is third in slugging percentage (.553) as of July 7. Laurtizen's team is currently fourth in the PSCL with a record of 7-11.
Ryan O'Dell, who will be a senior next season, is playing again for the Oswego (Ill.) Cats in the Chicago Suburban Baseball League. Last summer O'Dell and the Cats won the AABC Illinois State championship, the AABC North Central Regional Championship and advanced to the AABC Stan Musial World Series where they placed fourth. O'Dell is currently hitting .291 and is second on the team with 14 runs batted in. O'Dell's team has won 11 of their last 13 games and is in second place with a 13-8 record.
Other Eagles are playing in the legendary Home Talent Baseball League, an adult amateur circuit based in south central Wisconsin that began in 1929. Ben Jennings is playing for Black Earth, who currently leads the Northern Section, Jared Raupp is on the Monroe team and Peter Hefty is playing for Hollandale. Hefty ranks eighth in the Western Section with a .361 batting average.

Summer of the Eagles: Ben Pratscher
Summer is certainly meant to be a time for our Edgewood College student-athletes to take a break from their academics, recharge their batteries and without question, have some fun. For many Eagles, like Ben Pratscher, summer is a chance to give to others who could use a helping hand.
This summer Ben, an Edgewood College men's tennis player, was hired to the staff of the Appalachia Service Project (ASP). ASP recruits volunteers to work with low-income families in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Virginia to renovate sub-standard housing and provide a warm, dry and safe place to live.
You can read all about Ben and his work with ASP on his blog "The Life of a Staffer." Follow the link and read about Ben and his volunteer teams working to put families in need in homes they can depend on.

Separated at birth?
 |
| The Eagles' Carlene DeCoster (left) and actress Ellen Page (right) |
If you attend an Edgewood College softball game this season
for the first time you might hear “Here we go, Juno” or “Come on Juno!” from
the Eagles dugout. Don’t bother looking at your program. There’s no one named
Juno there. Junior Carlene DeCoster (@carlenedecoster) was tagged with the nickname her freshman
year that has stuck with her throughout her time here at Edgewood College.
Where did it come from?
Have you ever seen the movie Juno with the actress Ellen Page? Well, that is her in the picture (on the right) and this is where the pseudonym all began. DeCoster says you can give the
credit to teammate and starting shortstop Jessica Spitzer, who recognized
DeCoster’s looks and even voice to be like that of the talented actress. The
entire year the whole team continued to call her “Juno” and eventually it
stuck.
When asked about the alias, DeCoster replied “If anyone on
the softball team calls me Carlene, it is super weird and I feel like I’m in
trouble or something. Half the time I don’t even respond to Carlene anymore.”
Would she legally change her name? “I might consider it.
I’ve had this conversation with multiple people before. I love the nickname
Juno, however, I’m not really sure what my family would think.”
Now this is not just for the softball team only, but it has
traveled to school as well. “I would say that a decent amount of the people
that I’ve met at school call me Juno and probably half of them think it’s my
real name. Since all the softball girls call me that, other people just think
it’s my real name.”
Even at a summer waitressing job DeCoster tricked her entire
table. “I had a table that was legitimately convinced I was Ellen Page’s twin
or something. The crazy lady called me Juno the entire time they were there and
she kept pulling up a photo on her phone and creepily holding it up to me and
going on about how much I look like her. It was extremely weird.”
Now the next time you head out to Ceniti Park in Verona to
cheer on the Eagles, you can join in the cheers as well. Soon enough, you might
find it difficult to call her Carlene as well.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Tucson Invitational
The Edgewood College softball team traveled to Arizona to play 10 games in five days at the Tucson Invitational this past week. The Eagles battled hard and even though they did not come away with a win, the team found positives in nearly every game. What fans were not able to see was what happened during the time that was not spent on the diamond. Feel free to catch up with the Eagles and ask them about the trip! In the mean time, this video clip highlights some of the players' favorite moments of the Tucson Invitational...
On Friday, after five straight doubleheaders, the team got to relax at Trail Dust Town which was just a short drive from the hotel. Here are a few of the pictures from before dinner at Pinnacle Peak...
After a long non-conference schedule, the Eagles begin Northern Athletics Conference play on March 30 (weather permitting) as they host Lakeland College for a doubleheader. First pitch is scheduled for noon. Live stats and live video can be found at EdgewoodCollegeEagles.com.

Alumni update: Wisniewski makes professional debut for the Saigon Heat
Sometimes it pays to be in the right place at the right time.
Wisniewski made his professional basketball debut on Sunday in Singapore, replacing injured leading scorer Dior Lowhorn in the Heat's lineup. Wisniewski drilled his first shot attempt, a three-pointer, and went on to an 11-point night on 3-for-8 shooting in 31 minutes of game action.
Through the magic of the internet you can see the entire broadcast of the Heat's game against the Singapore Slingers courtesy of the ASEAN Basketball League's YouTube channel:
If you'd like to catch Ben's top moments we've marked off a few time stamps to help you find his highlights:
5:45 - First shot of Wisniewski during pre-game introductions.
17:40 - Wisniewski enters the game for the first time.
24:50 - Wisniewski drills a three-point shot from the corner on his first shot attempt. Broadcasters make first mention of Edgewood College.
42:35 - Wisniewski goes 1-on-3 for a bucket in the paint and a foul. (Make your free throws, Ben!)
48:45 - Wisniewski steps in for a jumper from the elbow.
Other websites you'll find useful to follow Ben's team...

Also, here's the Q&A with Wisniewski from Ben Steele of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel which first tipped us off that Ben had suited up for the Heat.

Alumni update: Wisniewski lands job with Saigon Heat
While Wisniewski will get to lace up the shoes in practice, he likely won't get many chances to dress for games. ABL teams are allowed two foreign players on their roster, and given the lack of height in many Asian countries, those spots are usually held for bigger, post players. However, should one of the American players on the Saigon Heat need to miss a game, it's possible Wisniewski could pull on a uniform once again. In the meantime, he will participate in practice and develop him administration skills in the team's front office.
Wisniewski was a third team All-Midwest Region selection by D3Hoops.com as a senior, and was named first or second team All-Northern Athletics Conference every year of his career. The native of New Berlin, Wis., graduated from Edgewood College in 2012 as the program's second all-time leading scorer with 1,719 career points.
