ST. CHARLES, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer traveled to Lindenwood University Sunday afternoon, coming away with a 1-1 draw and a point in the Ohio Valley Conference standings against the familiar Lions.
The Screaming Eagles (4-5-4, 0-3-2 OVC) came out of the gates with a flying start. Freshman defender Charli Grafton (Sunriver, Oregon) scored for USI in the third minute, striking one into the top half of the goal. For Grafton, the score was her first career goal in a Screaming Eagles uniform. Senior midfielder Jill DiTusa (St. Charles, Illinois) and sophomore midfielder Adriana Berruti (Berwyn, Illinois) were credited with the assists. Grafton’s goal was the earliest one scored in a match this season for USI.
Lindenwood (5-6-4, 2-1-3 OVC) quickly tried to respond, taking two shots before the 10-minute mark. USI’s senior goalkeeper Maya Etienne (Midland, Michigan) saved both attempts, including one by Lindenwood’s graduate student Jacqueline Baetz. Baetz entered the match as the Lions’ leading shot-taker and scored the game-winner in their last match against the University of Tennessee at Martin on Thursday.
Junior midfielder Morgan Beyer (Rossford, Ohio) took a chance and struck the post in the 23rd minute. She has now recorded a shot in each of the last six contests. USI had two other shots that were saved by Lindenwood’s senior goalkeeper Sam Blazek in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half and before the 55th minute, the Lions tested USI’s defense with two low shot attempts on goal, but Etienne came through two more saves to preserve the Screaming Eagles’ 1-0 lead. USI went back down the other direction of the field for two shots of their own that missed wide.
The middle portion of the second half was a back-and-forth battle. In the 66th minute, freshman forward Shy Iles (Demossville, Kentucky) tallied the first shot and attempt on goal of her USI career, but it was saved by Blazek. After four early-season appearances for Iles, she made her second straight appearance in a match.
Lindenwood found the 1-1 equalizer in the 73rd minute, as junior forward and former Screaming Eagle Peyton Ganz scored her first goal of the season. Neither side could pick up a go-ahead goal before the final whistle.
Besides the 1-1 score, both teams had two assists and eight shots on the day. Lindenwood placed six shots on goal and USI had four. The Lions also earned six corner kicks to USI’s two.
DiTusa and freshman midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) led USI with two shots in the match, including one on goal for each. Grafton was 1 for 1 with her early goal. Between the posts, Etienne finished the match with five saves, bringing the senior within six saves of third all-time in USI history.
USI Women’s Soccer returns to action in a week, facing off against UT Martin next Sunday from Strassweg Field in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. and can be seen live with an ESPN+ subscription. Admission is free thanks to The Women’s Hospital Deaconess.

During Open Enrollment, You Can Make Changes To Your Medicare Health And
Drug Coverage
Indianapolis – The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (open enrollment) starts on Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, 2022. This is the one time of year when ALL people with Medicare can make changes to their Medicare Advantage health and prescription drug plans that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2023.
During the Medicare open enrollment period, you can:
Medicare beneficiaries with income less than $2,116/month and limited assets might qualify for programs that help to pay for Part B monthly premiums, co-pays and deductibles. Some programs even help to pay for prescriptions. The State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) can help with these applications.
The SHIP is a free and impartial counseling program for people with Medicare. SHIP is facilitated by the Indiana Department of Insurance and Administration for Community Living. SHIP is part of a federal network of State Health Insurance Assistance Programs located in every state.
With more than 100 SHIP sites throughout the state of Indiana, a SHIP counselor is never far away from those who need assistance. SHIP offers numerous events and presentations throughout the state of Indiana to assist Medicare beneficiaries. During open enrollment, some of these events include assistance using the online Planfinder Tool that allows beneficiaries to compare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans based on their specific needs. A listing of SHIP events can be found at www.Medicare.in.gov.
All of SHIP’s services are offered at no charge to consumers. SHIP is not affiliated with any insurance company or agency and does not sell insurance. SHIP is staffed by a crew of volunteer counselors who have completed intensive training to offer Medicare beneficiaries objective assistance in complete confidence.
If you or someone you know needs help with their Medicare questions, call the SHIP helpline at 1-800-452-4800 or the TTY line for the hearing impaired at 1-866-846-0139. You also can find SHIP online at www.Medicare.IN.gov.
Proposed Endangerment Finding, if finalized, is an important step forward to address the largest remaining source of lead pollution to air
WASHINGTON (October 7, 2022) – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a proposed determination that emissions of lead from aircraft that operate on leaded fuel cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare. Under the Clean Air Act, EPA reviews information on air pollutants and sources of air pollution to determine whether they threaten human health or welfare. This is referred to as an “endangerment finding†– a first step in using EPA’s authority to address this source of lead pollution.
“When it comes to our children the science is clear, exposure to lead can cause irreversible and life-long health effects,†said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “Aircraft that use leaded fuel are the dominant source of lead emissions to air in the country.Today’s proposal is an important step forward as we work to reduce lead exposure and protect children’s health.â€
While levels of airborne lead in the United States have declined 99 percent since 1980, aircraft that operate on leaded fuel are the largest remaining source of lead emissions into the air. The majority of aircraft that operate on leaded aviation gasoline are piston-engine aircraft. These are typically small aircraft that carry 2-10 passengers. Jet aircraft used for commercial transport do not operate on a fuel containing lead.
This proposed endangerment finding will undergo public notice and comment, and after evaluating comments on the proposal, EPA plans to issue any final endangerment finding in 2023. EPA is not proposing aircraft engine lead emission standards with this action. EPA’s consideration of endangerment is a first step toward application of EPA’s authority to address lead pollution. If the proposed finding is finalized, EPA would subsequently propose regulatory standards for lead emissions from aircraft engines.
Lead exposure can come from multiple sources, including leaded paint, contaminated soil, industrial emissions from battery recycling or metals processing, and the combustion of fuel or waste containing lead. Children’s exposure to lead can cause irreversible and life-long health effects. No safe blood lead level in children has been identified. Even low levels of lead in blood have been shown to affect IQ, ability to pay attention, and academic achievement. In adults, health impacts from lead exposure can include cardiovascular effects, increased blood pressure and incidence of hypertension, decreased kidney function, and reproductive issues.
