THUNDERBOLTS SPLIT WEEKEND SERIES IN PEORIA
 
Peoria, Ill.:  Although they were unable to pull off the sweep following their 4-3 win on Friday, the Thunderbolts held their ground and gave Peoria all they could handle, as the Rivermen took Saturday’s rematch in Peoria by a 3-1 score. The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Friday, January 24th against the Pensacola Ice Flyers at 7:05pm CT.
                Down 1-0 following a Peoria goal from Carlos Fornaris at 8:18, Evansville rallied to tie the game in the first period’s final minute, as Logan vande Meerakker scored from Matt Dorsey and Scott Kirton with only 15 seconds remaining.  Tough bounces cost the Thunderbolts in the second period, despite outshooting the Rivermen 15-11 in the middle frame, as Alec Baer scored at 6:09 off a scramble at the Evansville net on a delayed penalty, followed by a power play goal from Jake Vaughan at 14:32 to give the Rivermen a 3-1 lead.  The Thunderbolts were simply unable to find a way to beat Colby Muise in the final 40 minutes, with Matthew Hobbs hitting the post in the fading seconds to no avail, as Evansville fell just short by the 3-1 score, still taking two wins out of the three game road-stand, a pleasant overall result as Evansville returns home for their next three games to conclude their January schedule.
                Vande Meerakker finished with Evansville’s lone goal of the night, while Cole Ceci finished with 19 saves on 22 shots on goal.  The Thunderbolts and Rivermen meet again on Friday, February 7th at Ford Center, face-off set for 7:05pm CT.

USI Men’s Swim and Dive earn historic win over Aces in the final heats

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.– University of Southern Indiana Men’s Swimming and Diving picked up the program’s first ever head-to-head victory over the University of Evansville on Saturday afternoon on the men’s side, 154-142.

The Screaming Eagles and Aces were tied at 130-130 with the 200 IM and 200 freestyle remaining in the rematch of the crosstown rivalry. Freshman Luke Rich gave the Eagles the advantage winning the 200 IM (1:58.73) by the narrow margin of 0.16 seconds.

Screaming Eagles Aquatic Center was on the edge of their seats as the winner would likely be determined by the 200 freestyle relay heat to conclude the meet. The veteran team of sophomore Sam Smith, sophomore Joey Smith, junior Gabriel Groves, and junior Caleb Davis clinched the meet with a blazing time (1:25.10).

Multiple other standout performances led the Eagles to the massive victory including Sam Smith’s record breaking 1000 freestyle performance (9:43.55). The sophomore snapped the previous record by nearly nine full seconds, etching his name into his third individual school best.

Another key USI heat victory included junior Jack Hannon‘s 200 freestyle performance (1:43.81) and freshman Justin Knauf‘s 200 butterfly (1:55.69) victory. Joey Smith scratched out a 50 freestyle (21.63) win by 0.05 seconds, while Rich’s stellar day continued with a breaststroke victory (2:10.99) victory.

Sophomore Nathan Deputy continued to shine brightest in front of the crosstown rival. The Evansville native executed difficult dives consistently, demolishing his own three-meter record (297.23 pts) and placing first. Junior Lane Pollock helped the diving squad sweep by winning the one-meter event (263.55 pts).

UP NEXT
USI will be back in action on Saturday, January 25, as the team celebrates senior day against Eastern Illinois University.

Jerome Stewart – The Word in 120

2

Psalms 119 vs. 105 says; “Your word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.”

As of today, absolutely nothing has changed relative to the word of God. As of today, nothing has changed relative to the meaning of Ecclesiastes 1 vs. 9, which says, “That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.”

There is a reason there is so much darkness in the world today. Yet there is a solution! Learn to place your trust in the wisdom of the living God. The way to confront the darkness of this world is to recognize that God’s word is the most sophisticated spiritual weaponry
available to mankind.

The meaning of the words in Hebrews 4 vs. 12 still holds true today. The Bible says, “The word of God is living, and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword. Piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Which begs the question. What would Jesus say about what is being preached today? The apostle Paul many times reminded the brethren of the power of God’s word which is able to confront the darkness of this world. 2 nd. Corinthians 10 vss. 4 and 5 he says; “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

The main purpose of the word of God is to evangelize the world in seeking to save the lost, and it is not about being politically correct about anything. The gospel of Jesus Christ is not meant to make anyone comfortable while engaged in sinful activities. Unless sinful behavior has taken a leave of absence from mankind, which it has not, repentance which is how to address sinful behavior must be preached because the Lord said so. Read Luke chapter 24 vss. 46 and 47.

Aces women’s soccer alum Emily Ormson signs professional contract

Aces women’s soccer alum Emily Ormson signs professional contract
Ormson played for the Aces from 2018 to 2022
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville women’s soccer alum Emily Ormson signed her first professional contract to play for renowned Club Atlético Boca Juniors.
Former Purple Aces forward Emily Ormson (Folsom, Calif. / Vista del Lago HS) is the first alum to sign a professional contract from UE women’s soccer. Ormson has signed to play with Club Athlético Boca Juniors Femenino in Buenos Aries, Argentina through 2025. Boca Juniors Femenino is part of the Argentine Primera División A, the premier professional soccer league in Argentina. Boca Juniors Femenino is also the most successful club with 28 league titles since the team’s founding in 1990.
“I began my soccer journey at the age of four, growing up playing for San Juan Soccer Club in Northern California,” says Ormson. “I was fortunate to continue my path at the University of Evansville, where I played for five seasons. Following my college career, I pursued multiple opportunities to grow my game internationally to prepare for the next step. Today, I am proud to say that I play professional football for Club Atlético Boca Juniors in Argentina.”
“This journey has been far from linear, filled with both incredible highs and challenging lows. With each step, I have learned invaluable lessons. To now be playing at the professional level is truly a dream come true. Soccer has molded my identity in countless ways. I am beyond blessed by the places it has taken me and the people it has led to me.”
Over her five seasons with the Aces Ormson was a driving force of UE’s offense. Ormson earned three post-season honors for her play from the Missouri Valley Conference being named First Team All-MVC in 2021, Second Team All-MVC in 2022, and the MVC Tournament Team in 2021. During her career, Ormson scored 18 goals and assisted on five for 41 points in 79 games played.
“I am so proud of Emily and her living out her dream to play at the professional level,” says Head Coach Chris Pfau.  “It has been a privilege to coach and watch Emily develop in college.  Her impact at UE was huge and helped lead us to the best start in the history of our program, be ranked fifth in the region, and get to the conference finals.  When she graduated, I knew she still had more in her.  So, to see her now playing and excelling is so exciting.”
Prior to signing with Boca Juniors Femenino, Ormson was in the USL W League playing for her hometown team, the California Storm. She also trained with UNKNWN Athlete in Richmond, Virginia, a well-known soccer development program. Ormson’s first international experience was with FC Malaga City Femenino in Spain where she trained with iconic clubs such as Nottingham Forest in England and Mainz 05 in Germany.
“Thank you to my former coaches, teammates, fellow athletes, professors, and friends who impacted my life at UE. My time there shaped me both as a player and as a person, and for that, I will always be grateful. Each experience has led me to where I am today, representing one of the most historic clubs in the world. It is an absolute privilege and an honor to play at this level. I plan to carry that with joy each and every day! Go Aces!”

BRIDGE invites faith leaders and communities to focus on racial justice

All Tri-State faith communities are encouraged to take part in a Racial Justice Faith Week February 3 to February 9, 2025.

BRIDGE (Building Respect & Integrity in Diverse Greater Evansville) encourages every faith community to emphasize their faith’s teaching on racial equity the week of February 3 to February 9 to motivate and inspire their members to make the Evansville region a place where all races, ethnicities, and cultures feel a sense of belonging.

Faith leaders can focus on race and justice in the message during worship activities. Faith communities may also use racial justice as their theme for other activities, such as prayer groups or Sunday School.

As part of the Racial Justice Faith Week, the University of Evansville will sponsor a Racial Justice Prayer Service at their Eykamp Hall Ridgway University Center on Sunday, February 9 at 2:00 PM  The public is invited for music, prayer, and reflection for justice.

Many pastors and faith leaders have agreed to the common focus on that weekend, or at another time in February, according to Lora Stephens, who is the BRIDGE convener.

Faith communities that wish to participate or want additional information may contact Brenda Meyer at bmeyer@evdio.org or 812-457-5529 or Lora Stephens at bridge.evv@gmail.com.
