John Tuite is not able to be at the soccer game tonight against USF, so there is no WHUS broadcast of the game.  The WHUS sports department has really declined in recent years.  It used to be that if Tuite wasn't able to do a soccer game, especially at home , someone on the sports staff would sub for him.   It seemed that about five years ago there were a bunch of students interested in doing the soccer games, so this wasn't a problem. This was a pretty common practice until few years ago when WHUS started having trouble finding student broadcasters who would cover post season tournaments.  Now it seems that no students at all are interested in broadcasting either men's or women's soccer on WHUS.  This mirrors an overall decline in participation and/or interest in the WHUS sports department, as the station had trouble staffing the station to broadcast basketball games and other sports last winter.  It also mirrors a decline in people interested in doing shows on WHUS in general, as large chunks of air time now have automated programming rather than having a live person in the studio.
