Pulitzer Prize-winning author to present at 10th annual USI Shaw Biology Lecture

The University of Southern Indiana will host its 10th annual Shaw Biology Lecture at 7 p.m. Wednesday, March 26 in Carter Hall. A book signing will follow the lecture. The event is open to the public at no charge.

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes will present a public lecture entitled Robert Oppenheimer: The Man, the Making of the atomic bomb, and the consequences. Rhodes received the Pulitzer Prize in Nonfiction for The Making of the Atomic Bomb, and his book Dark Sun: The Making of the Hydrogen Bomb was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize in History. This lecture marks a timely reflection on the 80th anniversary of World War II, exploring the pivotal role that Oppenheimer and the development of the atomic bomb played in shaping the course of history.

Author of John James Audubon: The Making of An American, Rhodes’ most recent work is Scientist E.O. Wilson: A Life in Nature, a biography of the celebrated American biologist.

This lecture is underwritten by a USI Foundation Endowment with the support of the Pott College of Science, Engineering, and Education and the Biology Department.

For questions, contact Dr. Marlene Shaw, Professor Emerita of Biology, at mshaw@usi.edu or Dr. Cindy DeLoney-Marino, Chair of Biology, at crdeloney@usi.edu.

USI Men’s Golf projected to finish fifth in OVC

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Golf is projected to place fifth in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2025.

The University of Arkansas at Little Rock claimed the top spot in the preseason poll with nine first-place votes and 99 points. Southern Illinois University Edwardsville was predicted second with 92 points and two first-place votes after a runner-up season in 2024. The University of Tennessee at Martin rounded out the top three with 79 points.

Morehead State University was selected fourth with 72 points, ahead of USI in fifth with 60 points. Lindenwood University was picked sixth with 55 points. Reigning OVC champion Tennessee Tech University came in seventh with 45 points. Bryant University (39) and Western Illinois University (28) were projected as eighth and ninth, respectively. Eastern Illinois University and Tennessee State University were tied for a 10th-place projection (18).

The Screaming Eagles tee off their spring championship season on March 14 in a match-play event against the University of Evansville before heading to Springfield, Missouri for the Twin Oaks Intercollegiate March 17-18.

Following its mid-March slate, USI will flip the calendar over at the Golfweek/AGT Intercollegiate at Pawleys Island, South Carolina, from March 31 to April 2. The Screaming Eagles will then head to Nashville, Tennessee, April 7-8 for the Big Blue Intercollegiate, hosted by OVC-foe Tennessee State. USI’s final tune-up tournament before the OVC Championship Tournament will be April 13-14 at the Wright State University Invitational in Springboro, Ohio.

The Ohio Valley Conference Championship Tournament is scheduled for April 20-23. The tournament returns to Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, which last hosted the OVC tournament in 2022-23. USI finished third in the stroke play portion of the tournament in 2023 before a match-play semifinal loss to SIUE. Last year’s tournament was held at Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail at Muscle Shoals in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The Screaming Eagles finished tied for fifth.

As part of the OVC’s preseason announcement, USI senior Jason Bannister was named to the OVC Men’s Players to Watch list. Bannister is coming off a solid fall season with five top-15 finishes and two top-five finishes. Bannister best finish in the fall was third at the Wichita State University Grier Jones Shocker Invitational. The senior’s other top five was at the UT Martin Grover Page Classic, where he posted a fall-best six-under par. Bannister’s best round of the fall was a 66 at the SIUE Dolenc Invitational to open the preseason. Bannister recorded a team 54-hole-best score of 209 and a team-best average of 70.88 strokes during the fall. The senior was an All-OVC selection after a USI record-setting season in 2023-24.

2024-25 Men’s Predicted Order of Finish
1. Little Rock (9 first-place votes) – 99 points
2. SIUE (2) – 92
3. UT Martin – 79
4. Morehead State – 72

THUNDERBOLTS RALLY TO EARN POINT AGAINST MACON, FALL IN SHOOTOUT 3-2

0
 
Evansville, In.:  After being held off the scoreboard with well over 30 shots through 50 minutes, Evansville broke through with two third period goals to force overtime and then a shootout, where Macon held on to win 3-2 on Friday night at Ford Center. The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Friday, February 7th against the Peoria Rivermen at 7:05pm CT.
                The first period was almost dead even, with both teams registering 12 shots apiece, however Macon scored the lone goal as Zack Nazzarett scored on a breakaway at 15:05 to give the Mayhem a 1-0 lead.  In the second period, Evansville outshot Macon 13-12, yet again it was Macon scoring the lone goal, scored by Nazzarett on a deflection at 1:23.  Dominating in the third period, Evansville finally broke through against Bailey Brkin, as Logan vande Meerakker scored at 10:53 from Grayson Valente and Matt Dorsey to cut the lead to 2-1, followed by Myles Abbate unassisted at 15:57 off a turnover to tie the game.  Following a scoreless overtime in which Evansville outshot Macon 5-2, the Mayhem won the five-round shootout two goals to one, scored by Yaroslav Yevdokimov and Nicholas Favaro, with Evansville’s goal scored by Abbate.
                Vande Meerakker and Abbate scored Evansville’s goals in regulation, while Ceci finished with 28 saves on 30 regulation shots on goal.  The Thunderbolts and Mayhem meet again on Saturday, February 1st at Macon Coliseum, face-off set for 5:00pm CT.
