• COD paves new way to earn bachelor's degree

  By Christopher Placek Nine students will walk across the stage Sunday at Lewis University's commencement ceremony to receive bachelor's degrees in criminal justice. Yet, these students never took classes at the school's campus in Romeoville. Through a so-called 3+1 program partnership between Lewis and College of DuPage, the students earned their four-year degrees from Lewis by taking all their classes at COD's campus in Glen Ellyn.

• Metea Valley's Wieland shows he belongs

  Updated May 21, 2013 11:15 PM

  The libero never seems to belong. They play defense. They even wear different jerseys. But Metea Valley defensive specialist Tom Wieland was a key component for the Mustangs during their 25-21, 25-14 sweep of Glenbard East in a regional semifinal match played Tuesday night in Lombard. Wieland had 5 digs, but his biggest came late in the first game with Metea Valley holding a 23-20 edge. Wieland popped up a powerful attack from Glenbard East’s best outside hitter Joey Farrell, which allowed the Mustangs an opportunity to attack. Martin Krasuski turned Wieland’s dig into one of his 17 kills, giving Metea Valley a 24-20 lead.
