BLOOMINGTON - In 25 seasons at Illinois Wesleyan, football coach Norm Eash hasn't lost to College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin rival North Park. Plus, the Vikings haven't defeated any CCIW foe in more than a decade (76 consecutive losses dating back to Oct. 7, 2000).
Those figures are impossible to ignore, but Eash will do the best he can as the Titans come off of a thrilling win over 6th-ranked Wheaton to visit North Park on Saturday in Chicago.
