USI back at Liberty for final homestand
Eagles host Senior Night Saturday
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball returns to Liberty Arena this week for the final homestand of 2024-25. The Screaming Eagles are slated to host Eastern Illinois University Thursday and Southern Illinois University Edwarsville for Senior Night Saturday.
On Senior Night, USI will recognize its four seniors – guards Ryan Hall and Sam Mervis, forwards Jack Mielke and Nick Hittle – before Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. contest.
USI (9-17, 4-12 OVC) hopes to get back on track during the final two games at home and snap a six-game losing streak. The Screaming Eagles had a rough road trip last week, losing at Western Illinois University, 87-62, and Lindenwood University in overtime, 81-78.
Junior guard Jayland Randall led USI on the latest road swing with 18 points per outing. Sophomore forward Stephen Olowoniyi and junior guard Damoni Harrison followed with 16 points per game each.
For the season, Randall leads the team with 15.1 points per outing, while Harrison was second with 15.0 per game. Olowoniyi rounds out the double-figure scorers with 14.0 points per game and a team-best 6.8 rebounds per contest.
Olowoniyi, who had 22 points and 13 rebounds in the loss to Lindenwood, leads the team with five double-doubles this season.
The EIU Panthers (8-19 overall, 4-12 OVC) have lost four-straight games and 11 of the last 14.
USI took the lead in the all-time series, 4-3, with a 64-60 win in the first meeting in Charleston, Illinois. Sophomore forward Stephen Olowoniyi was the only Eagle to reach double digits with 13 points. The series also is tied in OVC play, 2-2.
The Cougars of SIUE (18-9, 11-5 OVC) are on a roll in the second half of 2024-25. SIUE, which won at Tennessee State University, 84-72, Saturday, has won four of its last five and seven of 10.
The Eagles lead the all-time series, 46-24, despite falling to the Cougars in January, 82-76, in Edwardsville. USI, which trails SIUE, 4-2, since moving to Division I, was led in the loss by junior guard Damoni Harrison, who posted a team-high 15 points. Junior guard Sam Kodi and sophomore forward Stephen Olowoniyi followed with 12 points and 11 points, respectively, while junior guard Jayland Randall and junior guard Braxton Jones rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points each.
Both games are slated for a 7:30 p.m. tipoff and tickets for both games are on sale now at USIScreamingEagles.com.
All of the USI Basketball action can be seen live on ESPN+. The game can also be heard on ESPN 97.7FM (http://listentotheref.com) and 95.7FM The Spin (http://957thespin.com).

Aces baseball doesn’t overcome Lipscomb comeback in extra innings
Aces baseball doesn’t overcome Lipscomb comeback in extra innings
It took 13 innings and over four hours to get to a final score
NASHVILLE – The University of Evansville baseball team held the lead twice on Tuesday afternoon but was unable to stop a furious comeback by the Lipscomb Bison in an 11-10 loss in 13 innings.
The Purple Aces bats came alive on Tuesday after a quiet weekend in Little Rock. But struggles on defense and on the mound didn’t get UE across the finish line to its first win of 2025. Starters Ty Rumsey (Evansville, Ind. / North HS), Kevin McCormick (Orland Park, Ill. / St. Lawrence HS), and Drew Howard (Ferdinand, Ind. / Ferdinand HS) all had three hits each for Evansville. While McCormick led the Aces in extra-base hits with a double and his first career home run.
“We clearly need to learn how to win,” said Head Coach Wes Carroll following the game. “Not playing complimentary baseball is all facets of the game.”
UE’s bats got started early on Tuesday loading the bases in the top of the first with two hits and a walk. But a ground out into a double play ended Evansville’s early threat. Lipscomb took the early lead in the bottom of the first scoring two unearned runs on a sacrifice fly and a throwing error from third to first base.
In the second inning, Ace’s lead-off hitter Charlie Longmeier (Seymore, Ind. / Seymore HS) reached first on an error and soon found himself at third after back-to-back singles. UE’s next two at-bats resulted in two outs with the bases loaded. Senior right fielder Harrison Taubert (Casper, Wyo. / Northeast CC) took advantage of the situation with a single to third that scored Evansville’s first run of the game.
The Bison answered back in the bottom of the second with another run of their own to regain a two-run lead. Both teams’ bats were quieter over the next two innings as the Aces went down in order and Lipscomb added a hit in the fourth. UE’s offense returned in the fifth as the Bison put a new pitcher on the mound.
A lead-off walk for Rumsey and a long groundout put the speedy center fielder at second base. Senior second baseman Cal McGinnis (Kimberly, Wis. / Bradley) then placed a long single into center field between all three Lipscomb outfielders giving Rumsey enough time to cross home plate. McGinnis hit would be Evansville’s last of the inning, but the defense took down the Bison in order to keep it a one-run game going into the sixth inning.
The Aces put together their first multi-run inning in the top of the sixth as sophomore Aaron Nehls (Evansville, Ind. / North HS) pinch-hit for Longmeier. Nehls began with a lead-off single to left. He would come home on the next at-bat as McCormick smacked a home run over the right field wall for UE’s first lead of the afternoon. Howard followed up McCormick’s homer with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice hit. Taubert hit his second RBI single of the game shortly after as Howard made it a two-run game.
Lipscomb wasn’t able to respond as Evansville had another big offensive inning in the top of the eighth. The Aces scored three more runs in the eighth as two runners scored on errors, and one came in on a sacrifice fly from Taubert. UE added another insurance run in the top of the ninth as Nehls put together a single and a stolen base early. McCormick would then send him home again with his first double of the season.
Heading into the bottom of the ninth with a sixth-run lead, things began to fall apart for Evansville on defense. The Bison loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth through walks with only one out on the board and capitalized by scoring three runs on a single, a walk, and a sacrifice fly. Lipscomb pushed the game to extra innings with a three-run homer over the scoreboard in right field before the Aces got the third out of the inning.
Neither team found the tying or the winning run over the next three innings. Both teams put at least one runner at third from the 10th through the 12th but neither brought those runner’s home. UE had a strong start to the top of the 13th as Rumsey took first after being hit by a pitch. He then stole his second base of the day to move into scoring position.
Evansville’s next at bat was a strikeout but was followed by a walk to McGinnis. With runners on shortstop Brodie Pert (Markham, Ontario, Canada) connected on his first hit of the season, a single to right center. The throw-in by the Bison was off, allowing Rumsey to score and break the tie. While the Aces two runners got into scoring position with one out on the miscalculated throw. But UE’s next two batters went down in order, heading into the bottom of the 13th leading by only one run.
Errors at short and on a passed ball to start the bottom of the 13th had Evansville facing a runner in scoring position early. Lipscomb’s next batter walked and both runners advanced as the Aces went for the out at first. With two runners in scoring position, UE intentionally walked the next Bison batter to set up a potential double play to end the game.
Lipscomb’s final batter hit a ground ball to third, putting Evansville in a position to get the double play. While the Aces got the second out at second base, an overthrow to first for the final out allowed the Bison to score both the tying run and the winning walk-off run. UE falls to 0-4 after the extra innings loss while Lipscomb improved to 2-1.
Evansville used six pitchers on Tuesday with sophomore right-hander Kellen Roberts (Monroe, Mich. / Monroe HS) getting the longest appearance at four innings with two hits, no runs, and five strikeouts. Freshman right-hander Jack Clevidence (Ankeny, Iowa / Ankeny HS) would be credited with the loss as he pitched all 3.2 extra innings in his first collegiate appearance. Clevidence ended his first outing with two hits, one earned run, two walks, and one putout.
The Aces are scheduled to play their first home game of 2025 this weekend. UE will open at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium on Friday night against Southern Indiana, weather permitting. First pitch on Friday against the Screaming Eagles is set for 6 p.m.

Todd Rokita’s Statement on Immigration Bill Moving Out of Judiciary Committee
Attorney General Todd Rokita responds to House Judiciary Committee pushing forward critical immigration legislation 4
Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued the following response to the House Judiciary Committee passing HB 1531, which would help combat the immigration crisis impacting Indiana communities:
“Today, we testified in support of much needed legislation that directly helps combat the illegal immigration problem our communities are facing.
“From penalizing employers for hiring illegal aliens to strengthening our sanctuary city law, several correct steps are being done in this legislation to stop the “magnet” that’s pulling illegals here who consequently drive-up crime and sex trafficking which strains our police officers and overwhelms our health care services and schools.
“All of this is unfair to the rest of us who have to pay these public safety and health care costs just to then watch as our kids’ education suffers too. All of this is happening while our jobs get displaced…just so the leftists in our communities and schools can feel good about exercising their twisted America last ideology. Enough is enough.
“Law-abiding and taxpaying Hoosiers have been treated extremely unfairly for far too long. Thank you to State Reps. J.D. Prescott, Chris Jeter, Michelle Davis, and Garrett Bascom for leading the charge on this issue.
“It’s time for the General Assembly to join President Trump in putting Hoosiers first.”
