0

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Junior outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) recorded a career-high 26 kills despite University of Southern Indiana Volleyball (1-21, 1-10 OVC) ending the road stint with a 3-2 (29-31, 17-25, 25-11, 25-18, 10-15) loss to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (7-18, 4-8 OVC) Saturday night at Jack Stephens Center. The Screaming Eagles were down 2-0 before forcing a fifth set with a late comeback.
 
Despite holding a late lead, USI watched Little Rock steal an opening set win, 31-29. The Eagles kicked off the frame with a 5-0 run that included four Trojan attacking errors and a kill from Anderson. Little Rock would later threaten USI’s lead after the Eagles had five straight attacking errors to tie the set at 12 apiece. However, USI turned things around after a monster kill from sophomore outside/right side hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) and a service ace from sophomore outside hitter Abby Weber (Fishers, Indiana) to make it a two-point Eagles’ advantage. USI was able to push the lead even further and issued a set point at 24-19 before Little Rock stormed back and scored six straight points and forced extra play. The Eagles could not converge on a one-point lead and watched the Trojans throw down a kill and an ace to take the 1-0 match lead. USI outhit Little Rock in the first game with 14 kills compared to 12 kills.
 
An early Trojans lead ends with a 25-17 Eagles second-set loss. Little Rock went on an 8-3 stint that caught USI off guard before Weber’s kill put the Eagles back in the game. Before USI knew it, Little Rock doubled up the Eagles by taking a 16-8 advantage. USI was able to threaten by cutting the deficit to six before the Trojans tallied five of the last nine points to seal the Eagles’ fate and extend to a 2-0 match advantage. Anderson recorded her 10th double-double in the second frame, finishing the set with 13 kills and 10 digs.
 
The Eagles put on a clinic in the third game, rolling past the Trojans, 25-11. The set started with an 8-2 USI lead that saw six attacking errors from Little Rock. Despite the Trojans cutting the deficit to five, the Eagles went on a 7-0 stint that made it 15-3. Bednar highlighted the run with a pair of aces. With a 16-7 gap, USI went on another run that resulted in a 21-7 advantage. The Trojans were able to add four more points before the Eagles took care of business and earned their first win of the match. USI had 11 kills off 30 attempts which equals a .267 hitting percentage.

Another dominant performance from the Eagles lifts them to a 25-18 fourth-set win and ties the match at two apiece. USI jumped out to an 8-6 lead with the help of a pair of Weber kills and an Anderson ace. From there, the Eagles never gave up the lead again despite the Trojans’ efforts on offense. USI recorded a match-high 15 kills in the fourth game with just three errors to produce a match-high .316 attacking percentage. This was the first time this season that the Eagles came back from a 2-0 deficit to force a fifth set.
 
The final frame ended with a 15-10 loss for USI and ended their miraculous comeback. The set started with a 4-0 Little Rock run until Anderson’s one of four kills in the set to stop the bleeding. The Eagles were doubled up 8-4 before sophomore middle hitter Paris Downing (Avon, Indiana) added a kill that cut the deficit to two. A service ace from sophomore defensive specialist/outside hitter Anna Ballengee (Montgomery, Indiana) kept USI alive before Little Rock tacked on the final points to win the match.
 
Three Eagles nabbed double-doubles in the match. Anderson earned 26 kills and 18 digs while Weber tallied 11 kills and 14 digs with sophomore setter Carly Sobieralski (Indianapolis, Indiana) producing 22 assists and 20 digs. Ballengee led the team with three aces while Bednar and Downing added five blocks each.
 
USI totaled 56 kills, 52 assists, and seven aces, which were all match highs. The Eagles’ defense put up 82 digs and nine blocks. Despite losing the match, USI produced 72 points compared to Little Rock’s 68 points.

Todd Rokita Encourages Hoosiers To Exercise Caution During National Cybersecurity Awareness Month

0

Attorney General Todd Rokita warns Hoosiers of predatory cyber criminals during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

“Cybersecurity has been an important issue for years, but after COVID-19, businesses and schools have relied more and more on technology,” Attorney General Rokita said. “This makes them even more vulnerable to these types of attacks, and I encourage Hoosiers to educate themselves and stay on high alert.”

Implementing appropriate cybersecurity controls has become a necessary part of doing business in today’s economy. The average cost incurred by a business from a data breach is now more than $4 million, and the average cost of a healthcare data breach has skyrocketed to over $10 million.

Cyber-attacks do not only affect schools and businesses, but they also affect individuals and can potentially destroy the lives of hardworking, honest people.

Security breaches involving your personal information, also referred to as data breaches, can create a significant risk of fraud or identity theft if the information is acquired by the wrong person.

To keep you and your family protected, Attorney General Rokita encourages Hoosiers to follow these tips:

  • Monitor your credit. Credit monitoring services track your credit report and alert you whenever a change is made, such as a new account or a large purchase. Most services will notify you within 24 hours of any change to your credit report. Most major credit cards now offer these monitoring services at no cost to the consumer.
  • Consider placing a free credit freeze on your credit report. Identity thieves will not be able to open a new credit account in your name while the freeze is in place. You can place a credit freeze by contacting each of the three major credit bureaus:
  • Equifax: 1-888-766-0008
  • Experian: 1-888-397-3742
  • TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289
  • Place a fraud alert on your credit report. A fraud alert tells lenders and creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before issuing credit. You can place a fraud alert by contacting any one of the three major credit bureaus.
  • Contact Attorney General Rokita. If you believe you are a victim of identity theft, visit gov/attorneygeneral or call us at 1-800-382-5516. For additional tips, you may also visit identitytheft.gov, a site maintained by the Federal Trade Commission.

Kim Smith Named Associate AD For Compliance & Student-Athlete Services

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Dr. Kenneth “Ziggy” Siegfried has announced the hiring of Kim Smith as the Associate Athletics Director for Compliance & Student-Athlete Services for the University of Evansville Athletics Department.

“Kim will be a difference-maker for the future growth of our department in the areas of compliance, student-athlete services, and leadership,” Siegfried exclaimed. “I feel very fortunate that we were able to hire someone with her level of experience, and someone who understands what it means to be a Purple Ace.”

Smith returns to the Purple Aces following a 4-year tenure at DePaul University where she was the Associate Athletics Director for Compliance.  While overseeing the entire framework of the compliance department at DePaul, Smith was on the cutting edge when it came to the changing landscape of intercollegiate athletics.  She introduced policies in fields that included Name, Image and Likeness, Alston academic incentives and more.  As a member of the senior leadership team, she assisted in the implementation of a 5-year strategic plan for the department.

“I am so excited to have the opportunity to come back to UE, where I started my athletics administration journey with all that I have learned in my time away,” Smith said. “I am mostly looking forward to working with our students on their academic success and development while continuing to advocate for an outstanding student-athlete experience.”

Along with her duties within the Blue Demons Athletics Department, Smith was active in multiple facets within the NCAA.  She participated in the NCAA investigation and adjudication of the NCAA Level II infractions case and new processes that were implemented.  Additionally, Smith has participated in committees at DePaul, the Big East Conference, Valparaiso, the Missouri Valley Conference and the Horizon League.

Prior to her time at DePaul, Smith served in the Valparaiso University Athletics Department for over six years.  Starting as the Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance in May of 2012, she was promoted to the Associate Director of Athletics for Compliance/Senior Woman Administrator in April of 2015.  She worked in that capacity until October of 2018.  Along with being the primary compliance liaison within the department, she was a key member of the staff who presented and ultimately made the transition to the Missouri Valley Conference in 2017.

She worked as a sport supervisor for eight programs within the Valpo department in capacities that included mentorship, budget oversight, team development and annual review.

From 2008 through 2011, Smith was the Assistant Director of Compliance at Old Dominion University.  Her initial experience in NCAA compliance came at the University of Evansville where she was the Assistant to the Director of Compliance from 2007-08.  In her first two years at UE, she was a Graduate Assistant Swimming Coach.

Smith earned her Master of Science in Public Service Administration from UE after graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management from Valparaiso University.
