Brugnoli Breaks 20-Year-Old Record At A3 Invite

0

Day One Results (M/W)

CARBONDALE, Ill. – University of Evansville freshman Sveva Brugnoli (Rome, Italy) led an attack on the UE swimming and diving record book on Thursday, as she broke a 20-year school record in the 200-yard IM as the Purple Aces wrapped up the first day of competition at the A3 Performance Invitational hosted by Southern Illinois University in Carbondale.

Brugnoli finished second in the 200 IM with a time of 2:04.39.  Her mark was over a second faster than Tomes’ school record of 2:05.72 set in 2001.  It marked the 14th UE school record broken in head coach Stuart Wilson’s three seasons at Evansville.

“Today was a great day for the team from start to finish,” said Wilson.  “From Sveva breaking the 20-year-old school record to the relays not being too far off of the records as well, it was a great day all the way around.

“As a coach, I am happy to see the team putting in a total team effort.  We are far from done though this weekend, as we still have two more days of great racing ahead of us this weekend.”

Overall, six different Purple Aces broke into the school’s career Top 10 times on the day.  Freshman Daniel Santos Lopez (Madrid, Spain) became the second-fastest male swimmer in school history in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 20.63, while also posting the sixth-fastest time in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 50.82 as part of UE’s 400 Medley Relay squad.

Junior Riccardo Di Domenico (Johannesburg, South Africa) also became the third-fastest UE swimmer all-time in the 50 free with a time of 20.71.  Both Santos Lopez and Di Domenico passed UE Hall of Famer Nikola Kalabic in the 50 free.  Kalabic competed in both the 1996 and 2000 Olympics for Yugoslavia while attending UE.

Junior Sarah Jahns (Lilburn, Ga./Parkview) moved into third place on UE’s career Top 10 list in the women’s 500 freestyle, as she posted a personal-best time of 4:59.31.

Freshman Marianne Mueller (Aschaffenburg, Switzerland) joined Brugnoli in UE’s career Top 10 in the 200 IM, as she posted the fifth-best time with a mark of 2:06.44.  Senior Jessie Steele (Houston, Texas/Klein) also lowered her own standard in the 50 free with a time of 23.95 to grab 10th place all by herself.

Overall, Evansville finds itself in second place as a team on both the men’s and women’s sides.  Senior diver Maggie Franz (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) played a key role to UE’s second place finish on the day, as she took home first place in the women’s three-meter competition, out-distancing a trio of Southern Illinois divers with a final mark of 252.53.  The mark is Franz’s best of the 2021-22 campaign to date.

“I’m very proud of how well Maggie dove today,” said UE diving coach Dustin Bredemeier.  “She was sitting in third place after prelims, but her consistency on the boards gave her the push to finish on top in the finals.”

Evansville will return to the pool on Friday, as day two of the A3 Performance Invitational hosted by SIU will begin with preliminary round races at 10 a.m., with final round competitions set for 5 p.m.

RAISE A PARTING GLASS

RAISE A PARTING GLASS

GAVEL GAMUT By Jim Redwine

The old Irish folk ballad, “The Parting Glass”, is a favorite Irish drinking song and is almost always sung, often a cappella, to help the dearly departed on their way. Military veterans are also frequently toasted to honor their service as glasses are raised and the ballad is sung. As you will see that tradition was carried from Ireland to America. 

It is Veteran’s Day and as a veteran, I have been thinking of all the service members, those who have served before and with me, and those who are serving now. The United States Air Force was very good to me even though I gave little more than some of my time during a time my time was not otherwise of much value. While in the Air Force I was sent to Indiana University for one year to study a foreign language. Once honorably discharged I received four years of the G.I. Bill. I still receive VA health benefits. If a balance sheet were kept, I would be much more benefitted than contributing. Fortunately, no such accounting is made. So, thank you America.

And it is not just myself in my family who have been blessed to serve. Both of my brothers and my brother-in-law received honorable discharges and veteran benefits from the Army. Our father wanted to serve in World War II but a massive heart attack and his age caused Uncle Sam to say “no thanks.” In my immediate family our son, Jim got his college education at West Point and now receives disability benefits due to physical health problems caused by his active-duty combat service on the front lines of both the Gulf War and the Iraq War. His son, Nick, our grandson, just graduated from Army Ranger School as Jim did about thirty years ago. Nick also got his college education via an R.O.T.C. scholarship thanks to the Army.

During WWII my mother’s three brothers and one of her sisters served as did my wife’s grandfather and two uncles. Each of these honorably serving family members received post-war benefits from a grateful nation. So, once again, thank you America.

Now going back another generation to my grandfather, Adolphus Cash Redwine, who was born in Georgia in 1848 before he moved to southeastern Oklahoma. With grandpa, we find a murkier but perhaps more interesting veteran even if I am not sure which color uniform the Civil War era teenaged soldier wore. All I do know is that a few years ago my first cousin, Paul Redwine, who was the eldest son of one of my father’s numerous brothers living in the Wilburton, Oklahoma area told my sister, Janie, another of our uncles, Henry, received a letter of inquiry from the Veteran’s Administration in regard to our grandfather. 

The letter stated grandfather’s military records indicated he was entitled to a military grave marker. Please remember this was at a time all service, Confederate or Yankee, was honored. The VA wanted someone to guide them to grandfather’s burial site. Paul said our Uncle Henry volunteered and the federal man showed up in Wilburton, Oklahoma with a bronze marker for grandpa’s grave.

Uncle Henry was one of the few people who knew the place where granddad was buried as grandfather was a Baptist minister who was preaching from the bed of a buckboard at a camp meeting in the remote hills of southeastern Oklahoma when something spooked the team of mules hitched to the buckboard. The mules took off and grandfather was thrown to the ground and killed. The congregation, at my grandmother’s request, buried grandpa right there with a board to mark the spot. That area grew into the tiny Bug Scuffle Cemetery outside Wilburton. Uncle Henry knew generally where the Bug Scuffle Cemetery was located among the sparsely populated hills. Unfortunately, Uncle Henry also happened to be a local source of moonshine. Uncle Henry made the gentlemanly suggestion that before he and the federal man placed the marker on grandfather’s grave, they should raise a toast in his honor using some of the family’s pride. The federal man, probably not wishing to offend, readily agreed.

My guess is grandfather’s military service, whatever it was, was still honorable even if his marker is not on his grave. For, as you see, Uncle Henry and the federal man raised so many parting Ball fruit jars to granddad’s service they never found his gravesite and lost the marker during their search. However, to grandfather and all veterans I am raising a metaphorical parting glass to say thank you and well done, and thank you to America for allowing us to serve.

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville freshman swimmer Daniel Santos Lopez (Madrid, Spain) has been named the Mid-American Conference male swimmer of the week after an impressive showing over the weekend in UE’s dual meet against Saint Louis University.

Santos Lopez won two individual events and led off two winning relay teams in UE’s 154-135 victory over the Billikens.  Santos Lopez won the 100-yard backstroke by nearly three seconds, as he clocked in with a time of 51.45.  He also took first in the 100-yard freestyle by two seconds, with a time of 46.74.

Santos Lopez led off UE’s winning 200 Medley Relay team which posted the Purple Aces’ first-ever event victory at the new Deaconess Aquatic Center.  He also went a blistering 20.87 as the first leg of UE’s 200 Free Relay squad which cemented the Purple Aces’ victory over SLU.

Santos Lopez is the first Purple Ace to earn MAC Swimmer of the Week honors since senior Oskar Menkhaus did so on October 2, 2019.  Evansville is currently competing in the three-day A3 Performance Invitational hosted by Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Illinois this weekend.

Defense shines in 60-40 win over IUPUI

Aces improve to 10-1 in Ford Center openers

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – For the 10th time in 11 seasons, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team opened their Ford Center schedule with a victory, taking down IUPUI by a final of 60-40 on Thursday evening.

Four Purple Aces (1-1) finished in double figures with Shamar Givance leading the way with 16 points along with a game-high 7 rebounds.  Evan Kuhlman was 4-for-7 from the field and 3-of-5 from outside on his way to 13 points while Jawaun Newton and Blaise Beauchamp recorded 12 points apiece.  Kuhlman and Newton added two assists apiece while Givance had three steals.  IUPUI (0-2) was led by B.J. Maxwell’s 8 points.

The defensive effort for UE was stellar, holding an opponent to 40 points or fewer for the first time since an 83-39 win over Wabash on Nov. 30, 2016.  It was the first time holding a Division I opponent to 40 or fewer since a 67-35 triumph over Bradley on January 9, 2016.

“It was a struggle in the first half on both ends but we kept guarding and I thought we rebounded very well,” UE head coach Todd Lickliter said following the win.  “We had better ball and player movement (in the second half) and those are things you have to learn and that is what we are doing.”

Evan Kuhlman knocked down the first basket of the evening, hitting a triple on a feed from Jawaun Newton.  Shamar Givance added a layup that pushed the lead to 5-0.  After missing their first four shots of the game, IUPUI scored the next four points.  UE wrestled away an 11-6 edge before a 5-minute scoreless drought saw the Jaguars get back within one at 11-10 just past the halfway point of the period.

It was Newton who got the Aces back on track, drilling a three before Blaise Beauchamp scored four points in a row to push the lead to 18-12.  The game remained within two possessions as the half wound down with the Aces taking a 23-19 lead into halftime.  The Jaguars shot 42.9% in the period but UE had three triples and six free throws to cement the lead.

Out of the break, IUPUI scored the first basket to make it a 2-point game once again, but on the Aces end, it was Iyen Enaruna stepping up.  After hitting a layup to make it a 25-21 game, Enaruna put an inbound pass into the basket to expand the lead.  Newton added a basket of his own to push the lead to 29-21, the largest edge to that point.

The Jaguars closed back within five tallies with a 3-pointer before Evansville took full control.  Up 31-26, the Aces scored 11 points in a row to take a 42-26 advantage with 12:13 remaining.  Kuhlman got things rolling with a triple before two free throws by Newton gave UE its first double digit advantage at 37-26.  Another triple by Kuhlman was followed by a Givance layup that capped off the run.

Evansville kept the intensity over the remainder of the contest, leading by as many as 22 in the final minute before finishing with the 60-40 victory.  UE’s defense held the Jaguars to a final shooting tally of 33.3%.  On the offensive end, the Aces hit 11 out of 17 shots (64.7%) in the final 20 minutes on their way to a final of 47.4%.  The Aces also completed the game with a 33-26 edge on the glass.

 

Another quick turnaround will see the Aces in action on Saturday with a 4 p.m. CT contest at Belmont
