0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Athletics is pleased to announce the selection of the 2023 USI Athletic Hall of Fame class that will be inducted during homecoming week in February. The class of five individuals and two teams were selected by an eight-member USI Athletic Hall of Fame Committee.
Any Screaming Eagles fan was eligible to nominate student athletes or teams on the 10th anniversary of their last season of competition, or a coach/administrator who has been separated from the USI Athletics for two years.

This year’s class includes Mary Ballinger ’11 (Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field, 2007-10); Dustin Emerick ’12 (Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field, 2008-12); Shaun Larsen (Baseball, 2008-09); Eric Schoenstein ’93 (Men’s Soccer, 1988-91); Stephanie Wilson Poland ’09 (Volleyball, 2004-07); the 1993-94 Men’s Basketball NCAA Division II National Finalist Team and the 2000-01 Women’s Basketball NCAA Division II Elite Eight Team.

“I continue to be amazed by the amount of outstanding student-athletes and teams this University has had,” said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. “The Class of 2023 truly represents our growing tradition here at USI. The five individuals and two teams that will be honored in February are truly worthy of this extraordinary honor. I know that the entire USI community is proud of this class and what it accomplished while at USI.”

In addition to the induction of the Hall of Fame Class of 2023, USI is inducting Sandy Hatfield into the Athletic Hall of Distinction for contributions to the success of the University’s varsity programs.

Reservations for the February 3 induction ceremony must be made in advance and can be made by calling (812) 464-1846 or emailing Holly Delph at hdelph@usi.edu.

2023 USI ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME CLASS
Mary Ballinger ’11 (Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field, 2007-10): Ballinger became the third female student-athlete in the program’s history to win a national championship when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2009 NCAA II Outdoor Championships. She finished fifth at the NCAA II Cross Country Championships after capturing the GLVC individual title and earning GLVC Runner of the Year accolades in 2009. Ballinger, who won a total of nine GLVC individual titles as well as a GLVC relay championship, concluded her career with nine All-America awards and six All-GLVC honors in two seasons at USI. She also was named the 2009 Midwest Region Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year by the USTFCCCA and the 2010 GLVC Indoor Track Athlete of the Year. The Chesterton, Indiana, native was named the GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year for Cross Country in 2009 and was recognized twice as the USI Female Student Athlete of the Year (2008-09 and 2009-10).

Dustin Emerick ’12 (Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field, 2008-12): Emerick is a combined four-time All-American in cross country and outdoor track.

Shaun Larsen (Baseball, 2008-09): Larsen was a two-time All-American and All-GLVC performer and was dominating in the closer role. He had 33 saves (a career record that is 15 saves better than the number two position) in two seasons and 59 appearances, setting the single-season record for saves (17) in 2008 that tied for first, nationally, in the NCAA Division II.
Eric Schoenstein ’93 (Men’s Soccer, 1988-91): Schoenstein is a four-time GLVC champion, three-time All-GLVC, 1988 All-Region selection, and 1991 Academic All-GLVC performer.

She also was a two-time All-Region and four-time All-GLVC honoree as the team’s setter. Wilson Poland ranks second all-time in assists (holding the single match record), 21st in blocks and 13th in digs. She helped lead USI to the 2004 GLVC regular-season and tournament titles as well as an appearance in the 2004 NCAA II Great Lakes Region Tournament.

1993-94 Men’s Basketball Team: First USI men’s basketball team to advance to the NCAA II Elite Eight and the first to play on national television in the national championship game. The 1993-94 team holds the USI record for scoring over 100 points, surpassing the plateau 18 times that season; points in a season; best field goal percentage in a season; best three-point field goal percentage in a season; and most assists.

2000-01 Women’s Basketball Team: The 2000-01 Women’s Basketball team finished 28-4, the second-highest winning percentage in program history, earning the GLVC regular season and tournament championship. The squad won the Great Lakes Regional Championship on the road before advancing to the NCAA II Elite Eight. The team featured three 1,000 point career scorers.

Changes for Nonprofits

Beginning Jan. 1, 2023, exemption certificates (Form NP-1) will no longer be mailed. Nonprofit customers should no longer use Form ST-105 as the option for nonprofits will be removed. With this change, nonprofit customers will need to go through INTIME to request Form NP-1 as a replacement for Form ST-105. (Previously issued ST-105s will remain valid.) Nonprofit customers who are not registered for INTIME, DOR’s e-services portal, need to create an INTIME account to access their exemption certificates. See instructions on creating an INTIME logon. 

Other changes affecting nonprofits include the revised filing frequency from annual to every five years. This law requires nonprofits to file their 2021 Form NP-20 (Nonprofit Organization’s Annual Report) in 2022 to qualify for the new filing frequency. The letter from DOR specifies the next report filing due date based on the organization’s Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN). This also applies to fiscal year filers whose tax years end before Aug. 1, 2022. New nonprofit customers will need to file Form NP-20R by May 15 every fifth year. 

Note: Nonprofits will not need to file Form NP-20 in 2023 for the 2022 calendar year. Fiscal year filers who file Form NP-20 for a fiscal year ending after July 31, 2022, will not need to file an NP-20 during the 2023 calendar year. Additionally, Form NP-20 is being revised to Form NP-20R. 

  • Effective July 1, 2022, nonprofits must collect state gross retail sales tax after exceeding $20,000 in sales during a calendar year. This includes sales made by all units operating under the organization’s registration with DOR. 

If an out-of-state organization is hosting a conference, seminar, or educational event within our state, they can request temporary sales tax exemption status for the duration of their visit. Form NP-20T, Nonprofit Application for Temporary Sales Tax Exemption, will be published on our website in December 2022. 

For more information, see Nonprofit Changes and Tax Information Bulletin #10, Application of Sales Tax to Nonprofit Organizations.

Federal Filing Requirements May Cause Some Taxpayers to Receive a Form 1098-F

As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the IRS now requires government entities – including DOR – to issue federal Form 1098-F to customers who are assessed certain fines, penalties, and other amounts totaling $50,000 or more. Indiana customers receive this form from the office of the Auditor of the State of Indiana, which issues similar forms on behalf of state government, such as W2s and 1099s.

The form is for informational purposes only. It is not a bill.

As of Dec. 31, 2022, customers who are in receipt of the 1098-F have an outstanding Indiana tax liability. They are encouraged to resolve any outstanding balances owed.

Visit www.irs.gov/Form1098F for more information.

New Form for
Reporting Withholding

Beginning in 2023, if you file your Form WH-3 by paper, you must also complete the new Schedule IN-WH3. Schedule IN-WH3 will also be required for prior year returns. 

Automatic Taxpayer
Refund Information

In 2022, the Indiana General Assembly approved two Automatic Taxpayer Refunds (ATRs). Hoosiers who were not eligible for the $125 ATR issued in 2022 are eligible to claim the $200 ATR as a tax credit in 2023 if they:

  • received Social Security benefits in 2022; and
  • are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.

Eligible recipients must file a 2022 Indiana resident tax return before Jan. 1, 2024, and claim the $200 ATR as a tax credit. Even those who meet the eligibility requirements but do not normally file a tax return due to low income will need to file a 2022 Indiana resident tax return to claim the credit. More information is available on our website at dor.in.gov/individual-income-taxes/automatic-taxpayer-refund. This page will be updated with forms and specific directions closer to tax season.

Upcoming Multiple Wage Statements Form Requirement

A heads up to Hoosiers before the start of tax season includes a required change for multiple wage statements. For example, A W-2 or Form 1099 will need to be listed on a new form, Schedule IN-W. DOR-certified software vendors should include this form in their products. Paper filers are also affected and should include the new form, along with other required forms and schedules, with their tax return.

Haithcock named OVC co-Player of the Week

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball senior forward Hannah Haithcock (Washington Courthouse, Ohio) has been named the Ohio Valley Conference’s Co-Player of the Week. The OVC’s weekly accolades are voted upon by the league’s communications directors.

The player of the week award is the first of the season for Haithcock and the third for USI. Haithcock also represented USI on the 2022-23 Preseason All-OVC team.

In earning the honor, Haithcock posted a career-high 24 points and tied a career-best 13 rebounds last Wednesday against Brescia University (Ky.). Haithcock had a big game, dominating in the paint from the opening tip to lead USI to a 90-48 win against Brescia (Ky.) inside Screaming Eagles Arena and in USI’s first home game since November 23.

The senior forward earned her eighth career double-double with 24 points and 13 boards. Wednesday’s performance was Haithcock’s seventh career 20-point game and third of the season.

Haithcock has been on a roll lately, scoring 14 or more points in four straight games for USI. She was one of five USI players to score 10 or more against Brescia (Ky.). The last time USI had five players reach double figures was January 20, 2022, against the University of Illinois Springfield.

On the season, Haithcock is tied for the team lead and second in the OVC at 14.5 points per game. She is the leading shot-taker this season for USI. The senior is 67-for-136 from the field at 49.3 percent, which is also good for third in OVC. She has also added 5.1 rebounds per contest. Defensively, Haithcock tops USI with 12 blocks.

Haithcock and the Screaming Eagles (6-5) return to action to start the Ohio Valley Conference season Thursday at home against Southeast Missouri State University for a 5 p.m. contest. Thursday’s game can be seen live with an ESPN+ subscription.

Lakes named OVC Newcomer of the Week Eagles open OVC action this week

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball graduate forward Trevor Lakes (Lebanon, Indiana) was named the Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week for his efforts in the Screaming Eagles’ split at the Indiana Classic at Purdue University Ft. Wayne last week. The weekly honor is the second for Lakes this season.
 
The graduate forward started his week with a collegiate career-best 30-point performance in the 87-74 win over Indiana University/Purdue University Indianapolis. He tied a USI and Ohio Valley Conference record with 10 three-point field goals in the victory.
 
Lakes finished the week with a double-double, posting 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds, in USI’s loss to Ft. Wayne, 83-59. The double-double was Lakes’ second of the season with all 10 rebounds coming on the defensive end.
 
For the week, Lakes averaged 20.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game. He also shot 43.3 percent from the field (13-30) and 54.2 percent from long range (13-24).
 
USI (7-6) starts OVC action this weekend when it hosts Southeast Missouri State University Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at Screaming Eagles Arena and when it goes on the road to visit Eastern Illinois University Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. tip in Charleston, Illinois.
 
The Eagles, who have won four of their last five games, have four players averaging in double-digits and led by senior guard Jelani Simmons (Columbus, Ohio), who is posting 14.3 points per game. Lakes follows Simmons in the scoring column with 12.9 points per outing.
 
Sophomore guard Isaiah Swope (Newburgh, Indiana) and senior forward Jacob Polakovich (Grand Rapids, Michigan) round out the double-digit scorers with 10.9 points and 10.4 points per game, respectively. Polakovich also leads the team on the glass with 9.8 rebounds per contest.
 
SEMO comes to visit Screaming Eagles Arena amid a seven-game losing streak and a 5-8 record after non-conference action. Sophomore guard Phillip Russell leads the Redhawks with 16.2 points per game, while senior guard Israel Barnes and senior guard Chris Harris round out the double-digit scorers with 14.8 points and 12.4 points per contest, respectively. 
 
USI trails the all-time series with SEMO, 3-2. SEMO has taken games one, four, and five of the series, while USI took the middle two. The Redhawks have won the last two, including the meeting in the NCAA II Central Regional in 1990 at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. The Eagles are 1-1 in games with SEMO played in Evansville.
 
EIU finished non-conference action with a 4-9 mark and back-to-back wins, including a road victory at the University of Iowa. The Panthers are led by junior guard Kinyon Hodges, who is posting 13.3 points per game, and graduate guard Yaakema Rose, who is averaging 10.5 points per outing.
 
USI is 2-1 all-time against EIU and won the last meeting, an exhibition game 95-92, in 2017. The Eagles have won the last two regular season contests, defeating the Panthers on the road, 72-70, in 1980-81, and at home, 81-78, in the 1982-83 season. EIU took the first ever meeting, 79-67 in the 1978 NCAA II Great Lakes Regional.
