The budgetary ax fell recently on the Edinboro University athletic department, reducing the school's sports offerings to six men's and eight women's programs.

"This is a day I have feared for quite some time," Edinboro athletic director Bruce Baumgartner said following Thursday's announcement by university President Frank Pogue.

Edinboro is eliminating its baseball and men's and women's tennis teams at the end of the spring seasons as a result of the poor economy and a decrease in funding from the state.

The sports were dropped after the NCAA Division II school spent years attempting to make budget cuts without resorting to elimination of athletic programs.
