Miscues cost USI versus Mercer

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer could not overcome a pair of defensive miscues in falling Mercer University, 2-0, Sunday morning in the home opener at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles start the year 0-2-0, while Mercer ends the first weekend of 2023 1-1-0.
 
USI trailed 1-0 after the first half after following a defensive breakdown at the 11:04 mark of the match. The Bears led the Eagles 7-5 in shots, putting a pair of shots on target.
 
The second half was a back and forth battle until USI senior midfielder Nick Faddis (St. Louis, Missouri) narrowly missed tying game at 63:11. Mercer responded six minutes later, 69:07, when the Bears split a pair of Eagle defenders for second tally of the match to seal the 2-0 contest.
 
Overall for the Eagles, USI was outshot, 15-10, but had a 3-2 advantage in corner kicks.
 
NEXT UP FOR USI:
The Eagles return to the road September 1 when they visit the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for a noon contest. Green Bay started the year 0-1-0 and is playing Western Illinois University at home later this afternoon. The Phoenix opened the year with a 2-0 loss to the University of Memphis on August 24.
 
The Eagles are 1-2-0 all-time against Green Bay after losing a 3-1 decision last season at Strassweg Field. USI took the first meeting of the teams in 1980, 1-0, on the road, but lost, 1-0, in 1992 at the Quincy University Tournament.

Otters drop Bosse Field finale to Y’alls

0

Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Otters closed out the 2023 Bosse Field regular season home schedule, falling to the Florence Y’alls 5-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Evansville was unable to clinch a playoff spot but a Washington loss lowers the Otters’ magic number to one with seven road games left to play this season.

The Otters notched seven hits but never found a run. Gary Mattis led Evansville’s offense with two hits.

Florence starter Ryan Watson tossed seven shutout innings, allowing six hits with a walk and six strikeouts.

The Y’alls scored the first run of the game in the second on an RBI double.

A three-run home run in the sixth extended the lead for Florence to 4-0. Back-to-back doubles added the last run for the Y’alls in the eighth.

Otters’ starter Justin Watland allowed just one run through his first five frames of work but was credited with the loss.

Dakota Phillips hit his league-leading 31st double of the season and extended his on-base streak to 17 games.

Evansville finishes the regular season with seven games on the road. They kick off the road trip against the Gateway Grizzlies in Sauget, Ill. starting on Tuesday with a 6:45 PM CT first pitch. Fans can tune in on the Otters Digital Network with the broadcast simulcast on FloSports.

USI Women’s Soccer has solid performance, suffers unlucky 1-0 loss

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer put together a solid performance on both sides of the field Sunday afternoon, but the Screaming Eagles came up on the wrong side of a 1-0 score against Purdue Fort Wayne University at Strassweg Field.
 
With Sunday’s results, the Screaming Eagles are now 0-3-1 this season, and Purdue Fort Wayne moved to 2-2-0.
 
In the first 45 minutes, both defenses played a strong role in the match. Each offense took some time to settle into a fluid rhythm in the contest. The two sides combined for seven shots in the first half. Southern Indiana’s best first-half opportunity came in the 27th minute when sophomore midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) took a strong rip at goal but was saved by the Mastodons’ graduate keeper Samantha Castaneda.
 
After that point, USI grabbed some control of the momentum and possession in the attacking half. Purdue Fort Wayne had one last look in the first half after a corner kick, taking a hard shot, but USI’s sophomore keeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) made a diving to the lower left corner to keep the contest scoreless at the halftime break.
 
Out of halftime, Purdue Fort Wayne came out on the attack. Following a solid save by Markland, the Mastodons scored a rebound goal to take a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute on an unlucky break against the Screaming Eagles.
 
In the middle of the second half, USI created some momentum in the attacking half, generating a pair of good shot attempts. Freshman midfielder Lydia Bordfeld (Evansville, Indiana) took a crack at the top-left corner of the goal in the 64th minute from approximately 25 yards out, but the Mastodons’ keeper dove to make the save. Bordfeld had another chance a few minutes later that was also saved. USI had a flurry of shots in the latter minutes of the second half but could not sneak one by Castaneda before the final horn.
 
Both programs tallied 10 shots in the game, as Purdue Fort Wayne had six on goal and USI put five on target. Bordfeld put both of her shot attempts on goal, while Murphy had one shot on frame out of two attempts. Freshman forward Pilar Torres (Chula Vista, California) also took two shots in the match. Markland finished with a season-high five saves for Southern Indiana.

The intruder fantasy devotees fear most

All these things happened within a little more than a day.

A private plane carrying Wagner Group chieftain Yevgeniy Prigozhin crashes. Video of the crash shows the plane seeming to stop in mid-air, then tumbling into a freefall.

U.S. intelligence officials say the plane was not shot down by a missile. The leading speculation is that someone placed a bomb aboard the aircraft.

At one time, Prigozhin was a confidant and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Putin’s costly and murderous war in Ukraine divided the two men.

Prigozhin launched an abortive rebellion against Putin in June. Publicly, the two thugs made peace and linked arms again.

Privately, it seems, Putin decided not to let bygones be bygones.

His official statement acknowledging Prigozhin’s death spoke of the departed’s mistakes in life and expressed little sympathy for the man’s passing.

That Putin would assassinate a rival so publicly demonstrates that an already volatile part of the world stands to become even more unstable. Putin’s war in Ukraine has ground to a standstill, leaving him in the position of the man who holds a wolf by the ears.

He does not dare let go but he also cannot afford to hold on.

The fact that a man who has an arsenal of nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction at his disposal feels increasingly desperate should be a matter of grave concern.

Not long after Prigozhin’s plane fell from the sky, though, eight Republican contenders for the presidency of the United States took the stage for their first debate.

These would-be commanders-in-chief actually argued about whether the United States should continue to support Ukraine and work to contain Putin. They focused more attention on poor people crossing the border with Mexico than the mass murderer with a stable of nuclear missiles at his command.

At the same time that the Republican debate started, the platform once known as Twitter dropped an interview former Fox News host Tucker Carlson did with the man who leads the race to become the Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump.

The 46-minute interview was an exercise in both flattery and fiction, a conversation that indulged the two trust-fund-bred self-styled populists’ beliefs that the world somehow has been unfair to them.

This was not out of character for them.

Trump, of course, faces four different indictments on 91 counts, all of them stemming from the man’s inability or refusal to either speak or acknowledge the truth that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Carlson lost his cushy job, big audience and huge paycheck with Fox because even that truth-challenged network no longer could bear the cost of his constant lying. Fox already had been forced to cough up more than $787 million in one defamation suit and likely will have to surrender even more cash in another one the network is attempting to settle.

Then, the day after Prigozhin died, the eight Republicans debated and Trump and Carlson got together to swap lies, the former president surrendered to authorities in Georgia, where he will go on trial for trying to steal the 2020 election.

Trump spent 20 minutes at the Fulton County Jail, where he was fingerprinted and given a number in the county’s criminal justice system. For the first time in U.S. history, a president had a mug shot taken.

Afterward, Trump—who cemented his fame by hosting a TV show in which contestants performed made-up tasks that enabled him to pretend to fire them—conjured up still more fantasies.

He was the victim of a grave injustice, he told the cameras and microphones.

Then, the man who tried to steal the 2020 presidential election accused those working to hold him accountable for his actions of “election interference.”

While a sizable slice of the American public continued to indulge its apparently insatiable appetite for make-believe, the process of clearing the debris from Prigozhin’s plane crash and identifying the human remains began.

And the war in Ukraine—a war about principles all Americans supposedly hold dear—grinds on, stacking up misery and grief hour after hour.

That is the thing about reality.

No matter how hard we try to deny it, it always intrudes.

It always reasserts itself.

Sometimes, all we need is a day to remind us of that.

Gov. Holcomb rolls out first four training sites as part of state-wide fire training expansion 

0

Historic $17.7M for fire training and volunteer PPE was part of Holcomb’s NextLevel Agenda

Aug. 25, 2023 – Governor Eric J. Holcomb was joined by the Indiana Department of Homeland Security (IDHS) and firefighting leaders from across Indiana on Friday to announce the first phase of a large-scale plan to expand physical firefighting training for Hoosiers. Gov. Holcomb prioritized more training site funding as part of his 2023 Next Level Agenda.

“Indiana will always support its public safety personnel, who selflessly risk their lives to protect the communities in which they live,” Gov. Holcomb said. “This plan will ensure that Hoosier firefighters have the skills and the equipment necessary to do their job safely and effectively.”

The first phase of this Hub-and-Spoke training model will include four new physical training locations to be built in Corydon, Linton, Rensselaer and Wabash. These new sites are expected to be completed and ready for use in the first quarter of 2024.  In total, the state will be investing $7.7M in new training sites like the four sites announced today. The goal with these funds is to provide high-quality, physical training structures within 30 miles or 45 minutes of all career and volunteer departments. The new sites will join more than a dozen sites already utilized for state firefighter training.

“When you look at the gaps we have in fire training, it’s primarily in rural areas,” said Steve Jones, Indiana State Fire Marshal. “Volunteers do not have the flexibility to travel for hours to attend trainings. We selected these first sites to address some of these ‘training deserts,’ and there was significant local buy-in for the need for these sites.”

The updated training model includes a live burn training structure on the sites by IDHS, home to the Indiana State Fire Marshal. The sites will be locally owned and maintained, although the state will construct the training facility and help with site preparation where necessary. Any fire department interested in more information and expressing interest in setting up a new training site should click here.

In addition to the $7.7M provided by the General Assembly in the most recent two-year budget, IDHS was also granted an additional $10M to provide new personal protective equipment (PPE) for volunteer firefighters across the state. Of the nearly 870 fire departments across the state, over 600 of these are volunteer fire departments. The goal with these funds is to fully outfit close to 900 volunteer firefighters with essential sets of PPE Volunteer departments often operate with outdated equipment and little funding to replace it as needed.

Volunteer fire departments interested in acquiring new PPE through this program should sign up here. Following the award of a bid, IDHS will reach back out to those expressing interest to determine specific needs, and eligibility and make final awards.
