Hungarian Delegation At VU Agricultural Center

0

VINCENNES, Ind., September 2, 2022 - President Dr. Chuck Johnson welcomed a delegation of 19 agriculture officials and experts representing Hungary to Vincennes University on Thursday, Sept. 1.

Parliament member Győrffy Balázs who serves in the National Assembly of Hungary, is president of the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture and is vice president of the Committee on Agriculture was among the delegates who visited the Vincennes Campus.

“It is good to see so many things at Vincennes University that are part of the future of agriculture,” Balázs said. “The students here are at a very good university because of what we saw. We are jealous because Vincennes University has everything here. This infrastructure is very good.”

Another delegate was Béla Kocsy, Agricultural Attaché to the Embassy of Hungary in Washington D.C. He is also a Purdue University graduate.

Balázs, Kocsy, and the entire delegation were impressed by VU’s agriculture degree programs, facilities, industry partnerships, and apprenticeship programs with companies such as John Deere, Cummins, Toyota, and Amazon.

“We always try to keep our eyes open to what we can learn, and it is a very good possibility to realize something new,” Balázs said.

The delegation’s first stop was at the 45,000-square foot state-of-the-art VU Agricultural Center on Highway 41. The stunning and modern facility opened in 2019 and is home to the University’s John Deere Tech, Agribusiness, Horticulture, and Agriculture programs, in addition to the Purdue Extension Food Safety Training Hub.

The visit could pave the way for possible future partnerships.

“I really hope we can create a connection between the Hungarian Chamber of Agriculture or Hungarian universities to make more ties and relationships between Hungary and Vincennes University,” Kocsy said.

VU President Johnson said that hosting the delegation aligns with VU’s efforts in recent years to enhance its international relationships and expand VU’s reputation elsewhere in the world.

“Hosting visits like this are one way of establishing relationships that could lead to faculty and student exchanges, joint programs, and new enrollments for VU. We have been fortunate to create such partnerships in China, Japan, and Taiwan. The opportunity to develop similar partnerships in Hungary is exciting.”

Following the Agricultural Center, the group toured the main campus, which included a stop at the gorgeous Red Skelton Performing Arts Center. They also enjoyed a magnificent lunch prepared by and served by VU Culinary Arts majors. The meal featured an abundance of locally-grown produce and decadent desserts.

Kocsy has visited the Vincennes on multiple occasions. He said he is blown away each time he sets foot on the Vincennes Campus.

“Every time I come here, something is added, or something new is coming,” he said.

According to Kocsy, “One of the most important takeaways from the visit is a lot of my colleagues are asking me, “How can I contact Vincennes University if I want to send my son or daughter here?”

Another Strong Start Not Enough As USI Falls In Physically Intense Battle, 3-1

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer fell in a physical match with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on Thursday, 3-0. The Screaming Eagles fall to 0-3 on the year while the Phoenix go to 2-0-1.

USI played an incredible first half, staying with Green Bay the entire way. Both teams finished the half with four shots while goalkeeper Alec Meissner (St. Charles, Missouri) made two saves in the first 45 minutes. Both teams were physical in the half as there were 12 combined fouls by both teams.

While both teams played pretty even at the start of the second half Green Bay was able to capitalize with a goal from Chris Album at the 62:04 mark. The Phoenix continued to add on to their lead, scoring at 66:47 and 79:34 from Luca Contestabile and Andrew Paolucci. Assists for Green Bay came from Josh Johansen, Michael McDougall, and Kajus Kontautus.

The Eagles tried to spark a rally in the last ten minutes after Brian Winkler (Philpot, Kentucky) won a penalty in the 89th minute. The penalty was saved by Tobias Jahn, but Winkler was able to tap the rebound into the bottom right corner to save USI from being shut out. Winkler led the way for the Eagles with three shot attempts and two shots on goal. Zach Barton (St. Louis, Missouri), Colten Walsh (St. Louis, Missouri), and Luke Lindsay (Plymouth, Minnesota) were the other Eagles with shots while Barton had two and the others had one each. Walsh was the other Eagle with a shot on goal.

UP NEXT FOR USI:

The Eagles head back on the road for a three-game stretch starting with a trip to Edwardsville, Illinois to take on Southern Illinois University Edwardsville on Monday, September 5th with a 7 pm kickoff time.

Volleyball welcomes Tennessee State

0

Match set for 6 p.m.

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Looking to remain perfect at home, the University of Evansville volleyball team will face Tennessee State at 6 p.m. on Tuesday inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Facing crosstown squad USI in last week’s home opener, the Purple Aces finished with a 3-0 victory.  As a team, UE hit .409 with the defense holding the Screaming Eagles to .236.  Alondra Vazquez led the way with 13 kills while Giulia Cardona and Melanie Feliciano recorded 12 and 11, respectively.

Feliciano led the way with 10 digs while Kora Ruff finished with 38 assists and nine digs.

Over the weekend, UE competed in the Golden Eagle Invitational in Cookeville, Tenn.  Without the services of Vazquez, the Aces dropped their three matches in the event.  Evansville put up an impressive fight in Friday’s match against Big Ten foe Northwestern.  Six kills by Cardona helped UE earn a win in the first set before the Wildcats were able to fend off the challenge.

UE also picked up a set victory in Saturday’s match against Tennessee Tech.

0

FLORENCE, Ky. – The Evansville Otters concluded their 2022 regular season with a doubleheader split with the Florence Y’alls, falling 7-1 in game one and winning game two 11-1.

The Otters kicked off the scoring in game one when Elijah MacNamee drove in J.R. Davis with a double down the left field line.

From there, the Y’alls took over. Following a pair of leadoff base hits, Brennan Price brought in the Y’alls’ first run while grounding into a double play.

Immediately after, Taylor Bryant and Ray Zuberer hit back-to-back solo home runs to kick the lead to 3-1.

The sides exchanged scoring opportunities in the second and third, but the Y’alls’ advantage grew once again in the fourth. After three men reached with one out, Bryant walked in a run, causing a pitching change from Evansville.

Directly after Jacob Bowles entered the game, a sacrifice fly from Zuberer added a fifth run to the Y’alls total.

In the fifth, the Y’alls added runs once again. After Florence began the inning with back-to-back singles, Rodney Tennie brought in a run with an RBI single.

Within the next at-bat, Luke Harper brought in the seventh and final run for the Y’alls while grounding into a double play.

The loss fell to Ryan O’Reilly while the win went to Jeremy Ovalle.

In game two, Florence again put up first-inning offense, grabbing the lead on a sacrifice fly RBI from Ray Zuberer.

From there, the Otters took over. Evansville took a lead in the second with a pair of runs, the first coming on a sacrifice fly from Andy Armstrong. Shortly after, George Callil grabbed a second run with an RBI double.

The lead grew in the third as Zach Biermann drove in Elijah MacNamee with an RBI single. Biermann then scored on Justin Felix’s two-run home run.

The 5-1 lead carried into he fifth when the Otters’ offense awoke once again. Felix kicked off the inning with a solo home run, his second of the day.

Following a walk to Armstrong, Tanner Craig hit a two-run home run to dead center, the 100th home run for the Otters in 2022.
