The Eastern Regional Intercollegiate Championships (ERIACs) were held this past weekend (22-23 April) in Williamsport, Pa. According to JMU Coach Bob Ryder, it was ‘the coldest, wettest, most miserable weekend most of us have ever experienced...ERIAC's in Williamsport, PA.’ True to the spirit of archery, they shot anyway.
