Volleyball sweeps weekend slate

The Eagles disposed of both the College of Holy Cross and the Army Academy in four sets on Friday and Saturday, respectively. AU beat Holy Cross Friday night 25-14, 19-25, 25-14 and 25-11. They also went on to be Army 25-22, 25-22, 21-25 and 25-21.

Correction

In “Kerwin’s salary in middle of pay list” published Dec. 8, 2008, The Eagle incorrectly reported that AU President Neil Kerwin’s salary was $573, 206 for 2006-2007. In fact, his salary was $573,306. The Eagle then used this incorrect statistic in “Kerwin’s salary tops U.S. list,” published Nov. 5, 2009. In that same story, The Eagle incorrectly used the word “salary” in place of “compensation.” President Neil Kerwin received compensation over $1.4 million during 2007-2008. The Eagle regrets the errors.
