EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer picked up a 1-1 tie in its home opener against the University of North Alabama on Sunday. The draw moved both teams’ records to 0-1-1 on the young 2023 season.
Â
The Screaming Eagles started out with early pushes into the attacking third. In the 7th minute, USI came within inches of scoring an early tally. Freshman midfielder Greta Ohlwein (Chicago, Illinois) crossed a pass to the middle of the box toward sophomore midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana). Murphy sent a low shot that went off the post.
Â
With the match still scoreless, USI jumped onto the scoreboard in the 21st minute. Sophomore midfielder Emma Thurston (Leawood, Kansas) sent a long throw-in pass into the box, which deflected off a defender toward junior midfielder Maggie Duggan (Defiance, Missouri). The captain buried the opportunity into the lower right corner of the net for her first career goal. USI carried its 1-0 lead into the intermission.
Â
North Alabama knotted the match at one in the 58th minute after a wayward pass led to a break toward the goal. Later, Southern Indiana nearly retook the lead in the 73rd minute when freshman midfielder Grace Bamber (Chesterton, Indiana) dished a cross to redshirt freshman defender Abby Rhoutsong (Newburgh, Indiana), who headed it inches above the crossbar.
Â
In the last few minutes of the contest, the Screaming Eagles organized a couple of attacks in the final third of the field, but the Lions’ defense was able to clear the ball out of danger to hold the match to a 1-1 draw.
Â
Southern Indiana outshot North Alabama 7-6 in the game, as each side placed three shots on goal. While Duggan had USI’s goal and Thurston with the assist, Murphy led the Screaming Eagles with two shots. Between the posts, sophomore keeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) made two saves.

103 historic farm families presented Hoosier Homestead
INDIANAPOLIS (Aug. 19, 2023) — Recognized for their families’ longstanding commitment to agriculture, 103 Indiana family farms were presented the Hoosier Homestead Award at the Indiana State Fair from Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Indiana State Department of Agriculture Director Don Lamb.
“The Hoosier Homestead ceremony is always a highlight of the Indiana State Fair for me,†said Crouch, Indiana’s Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development. “Celebrating these longstanding farming families and their ancestors for their work and commitment to our state and Indiana agriculture is a true honor.â€
To be named a Hoosier Homestead, farms must be owned by the same family for more than 100 consecutive years, and consist of 20 acres or more, or produce more than $1,000 in agricultural products per year.
Based on the age of the farm, families are eligible for three different distinctions of the Hoosier Homestead Award. They can receive the Centennial Award for 100 years, Sesquicentennial Award for 150 years or Bicentennial Award for 200 years of ownership.
“Keeping a farm operational for 100 years or more is no simple task,†Lamb said. “Each passing generation has certainly had to adapt and evolve their farming practices and techniques to ensure their farms continued success.â€
Since the program’s inception in 1976, over 6,100 families have received the award. Often, a Hoosier Homestead farm is easily recognized because most recipients proudly display their awarded sign on their property.
During the ceremonies, three Indiana farms received the Bicentennial Award for 200 years of continuous ownership: the Craig / Day family from Lawrence County, the Harry Goss Dow & Bessie M. Dow family from Morgan County and the Wise/Hobbs family from Madison County.Â
The following list includes the August 2023 Hoosier Homestead Award recipients.

- Eligibility for the On My Way Pre-K program now includes low-income families who live within 150% of the federal poverty level.
- A new law established the Science of Reading grant fund to help Indiana school corporations deploy literacy coaches and implement Science of Reading curriculum in elementary classrooms.
- All eligible students are now automatically enrolled in the 21st Century Scholars program during their seventh- and eighth-grade years of school.
- All students who graduate in 2028 or later and attend Indiana public schools, charter schools or state-accredited nonpublic schools must pass a financial literacy course.
- A new law expands eligibility for the Next Generation Hoosier Educator Scholarship.
Educating and supporting our future leaders is critical to Indiana’s long-term success, which is why expanding educational opportunities for students remains one of my top priorities.
