Podcast: 2013 Softball Preview

We had a chance to sit down with head softball coach J.P. Richards and ask him a few questions about this upcoming season.

The Eagles open up the season on Friday, February 22 at the Finlandia Dome Tournament. Edgewood College's home opener is not until March 30 at Ceniti Park against Lakeland College. 

2013 Softball Preview:

Alumni update: Wisniewski makes professional debut for the Saigon Heat

When Edgewood College men's basketball alumni Ben Wisniewski signed on with the Saigon Heat, he did so as a front office employee and a practice player. He knew he likely wouldn't get a chance to play in a game, unless one of the other two permitted American players on the roster sustained an injury.

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:

Full game video replay

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.

#Tweagles Talk: Moe Baemmert

For #Tweagles Talk we try to pick Eagle student-athletes that make us laugh. This tweet sealed the deal for Moe Baemmert. One we read that, we knew we had to ask. Moe has a private account thought, so you'll have to ask really nicely if you want to see gems like these...

Q. What is your Twitter handle and how did you come up with it?
