Southern Illinois Basketball: 2021-22 season preview for the Salukis--Busting Brackets
Top 5 Valpo Sports Moments To Look For--Valpo Torch
We all know the stories about fifth year seniors coming back one more year to help their teams succeed. However, the NCAA does not hand out sixth year eligibility regularly. If you remember Northeastern forward Alex Murphy and Oregon guard Dylan Ennis, both were sixth year athletes in recent memory. Two Beacon basketball athletes will carry on the title as being sixth year seniors. Forward Caitlin Morrison started her career on the women’s basketball team back in the 2016-2017 season. Morrison sat out in the 2018-2019 season due to injury and was able to retain two years of eligibility. Her career goes back to being coached by former head coach Tracey Dorow and then re-building the foundation under current head coach Mary Evans the following year. She even got to compete for Valpo in the program’s final year in the Horizon League as a freshman. Guard Eron Gordon’s story is a bit different. Gordon started his collegiate career in the fall of 2016 at Seton Hall and played for two years. He transferred in and sat out for the 2018-2019 due to transfer rules. Since then, Gordon has made an impact for the team both as a starter and coming off the bench. With both players having an abundance of experience on their resumes, expect leadership from them on the court as experienced Missouri Valley Conference players.
