Swimming & Diving Sweeps First Meet At Deaconess Aquatic Center

0

x

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The first-ever swim meet at the Deaconess Aquatic Center will go down in Evansville city history as an impressive one for the hometown University of Evansville swimming and diving teams, as the Purple Aces swept its triangular meet with the visiting Saint Louis University Billikens and University of Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans.

The UE men held off the visiting Billikens, 154-135, behind first-place showings in the final two events of the meet.  Meanwhile, the UE women posted a 172-128 victory over SLU, while also notching a 153.50-135.50 victory over Little Rock.

“I thought we got a great effort all the way around today,” said UE swimming and diving head coach Stuart Wilson.  “Everyone on both teams contributed to the team effort.

“I really want to thank our seniors for making the sacrifices and commitment to represent UE over the last four years.  A new chapter in their life will be coming soon, and they will take their lifelong experiences in swimming to their new adventures.”

In UE’s “Senior Day” meet, senior Zeke Metz (Topeka, Kan./Seaman) helped the Purple Aces hold off the Billikens on the men’s side, as Metz won the men’s 200-yard IM event, the second-to-last event of the day, in a time of 1:56.66 to win by two seconds over freshman teammate Carlos Souto Vilas (A Coruna, Spain).  It was Metz’s second individual title of the day, as he also won the men’s 200-yard freestyle in a time of 1:44.77.

Then, with the meet hanging in the balance, the quartet of freshmen Daniel Santos Lopez (Madrid, Spain) and Jakob Grundbacher (Long Beach, Calif.), senior Josh Graves (Topeka, Kan./Seaman) and junior Riccardo Di Domenico (Johannesburg, South Africa) posted a time of 1:25.38 to win the men’s 200-yard freestyle relay and ice the victory for UE.  Santos Lopez, Di Domenico and Grundbacher had teamed with sophomore Alon Baer (Gesher Haziv, Israel) earlier in the meet to make Evansville history, as they recorded UE’s first event victory at the Deaconess Aquatic Center in the 200 Medley Relay.

On the women’s side, junior Sage Moore (Lexington, Ohio/Lexington) and freshman Sveva Brugnoli (Rome, Italy) helped power the Purple Aces to a sweep of the triangular meet.  Moore swept the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke events in times of 1:08.47 and 2:25.34, respectively.  Meanwhile, Brugnoli cruised to victories in both the 100- and 200-yard butterfly events in times of 56.94 and 2:08.64.  Her time of 56.94 in the 100 fly is a season-best mark, and ranks her as the eighth-fastest swimmer in UE history in the event.

The UE women were also aided by the job of the female divers, as senior Maggie Franz (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) led the way by sweeping both the one-meter and three-meter competitions.  In fact, UE swept the three-meter competition, as freshmen Val Marx (Evansville, Ind./Reitz) and Kaylee Ivy (Evansville, Ind./Central) placed second and third in the event.

“I was really proud of how our younger divers stepped up today,” said UE diving head coach Dustin Bredemeier.  “We had some people out today, but both Val and Kaylee stepped up big, and I was really proud of how all three women competed this afternoon.”
Evansville will return to the pool next weekend, as UE travels to Carbondale, Illinois to take part in the Southern Illinois Invitational, before beginning its winter training period.

Cardona and Feliciano lead Aces in setback at Bradley

0

UE back home for final home matches next week

 PEORIA, Ill. – Giulia Cardona and Melanie Feliciano recorded 19 and 18 kills, respectively, in a 3-1 setback to Bradley on Saturday evening in Renaissance Coliseum.

Cardona’s match-high 19 kills came along with 14 digs and two block assists.  Feliciano also had a double-double for the Purple Aces (17-8, 7-7 MVC) adding 10 digs to her 18 kills.  Alondra Vazquez was the third UE player to finish with a double-double, picking up 15 kills and 12 digs.  Taya Haffner and Cecilia Thon led the squad in assists (28 and 27) while Thon picked up three aces.

Hannah Thompson led the Bradley (15-11, 11-4 MVC) attack with 12 kills and 14 digs.  Serena Sparks led all players with her 16 digs.

 

Set 1 – Bradley 26, UE 24

Bradley jumped out to a 4-1 lead to open the night and would go up by as many as five points when they took a 15-10 advantage.  With the Braves continuing to lead by five (17-12), the Aces made their move, going on an 8-2 run to take their first lead of the night at 20-19.  Kills by Madisyn Steele and Melanie Feliciano made it an 18-16 game before the run continued with a Vazquez kill that gave the Aces the lead.  Bradley countered with three in a row, but UE fought back once again to tie it at 22-22.  With the game tied at 24-24, it was BU who added the final two points to take a 1-0 lead.

 

Set 2 – Bradley 25, UE 13

Another fast start saw the Braves take a 5-1 lead.  After letting Evansville erase their advantage in the opening frame, Bradley kept the petal to the metal in the second, extending the lead to 13-5.  The Aces were unable to close the gap with the Braves grabbing a 2-0 lead on the strength of the 25-13 win.

 

Set 3 – UE 27, Bradley 25

A Feliciano kill saw the Aces get off to their best start of the night, taking an early 5-4 edge.  With the set knotted at 10-10, the Braves took their biggest edge at 17-12 as they looked to complete the 3-0 shutout.  Evansville had other ideas, scoring the next six points to jump back in front at 18-17.  Vazquez and Giulia Cardona had two kills apiece in the rally.  The squad swapped the lead down the stretch before the Braves had set point, up 24-23.  Down to its final point, the Aces took advantage of back-to-back Feliciano kills to go back in front.  After BU tied it at 25-25, Feliciano and Vazquez forced a fourth set with a 27-25 win for UE.

 

Set 4 – Bradley 25, UE 21

In a close battle early on, the Braves held a 9-7 advantage.  They would gradually add to their lead, going up by eight points at 23-15.  With their opportunity for a win slipping away, the Aces made a final rally, scoring four in a row to make it a 23-19 game.  Following a Bradley point, Vazquez added a kill before Cardona registered an ace to get UE back within three at 24-21.  Unfortunately, the rally came just a few points too late when a kill sealed the 25-21 win in the fourth set and a 3-1 match.

 

The final home weekend of action is slated for next weekend when the Aces welcome Drake and UNI on Friday and Saturday.

New Mountain Biking Trail opens at Brown County State Park

0

The DNR and the Hoosier Mountain Bike Association (HMBA) held a celebratory ribbon cutting on Oct. 8 to mark the opening of Limekiln East, a newly completed 1.6-mile beginner-level mountain bike trail in Brown County State Park.

Limekiln East is the second of three mountain bike trails to be completed in the state park as part of a $200,000 NLT grant to HMBA to develop 7.5 miles of new mountain bike trail. The first, Weed Patch Trail, a 2.4-mile intermediate-level trail, opened in November 2019.

The three new NLT-funded trails will connect with existing trails as well as other park amenities, including the campground, park office, nature center, and Hesitation Point. Once completed, the three new trails will bring the total mileage of mountain bike trails within the state park to 43.5.

More information about NLT is at on.IN.gov/NextLevelTrails.

Brown County State Park (on.IN.gov/browncountysp) is at 1406 S.R. 46 W, Nashville, IN, 47448.

Todd Rokita Challenges Biden’s Unlawful Vaccine Mandates With Lawsuits

1

Attorney General Todd Rokita announced today he is filing legal actions against President Joe Biden to stop unlawful vaccine mandates the administration is imposing on employers and employees across the country.

“We are suing the president because he’s got to stop running roughshod over Americans’ liberties,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It is regrettable that we must take him to court to make him uphold his oath, but it’s necessary to protect our state institutions and fellow citizens from his unlawful schemes.”

Attorney General Rokita and the attorneys general of Louisiana and Mississippi are filing a lawsuit today asking a federal court to overturn the Biden administration’s unlawful COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors.

This particular mandate — issued by executive order with no congressional authorization — affects one-fifth of the American workforce directly and the entire economy indirectly.

The mandate usurps state authority in a core area of state sovereignty — public health — and does so by relying on federal procurement laws that have nothing to do with health.

In addition, Attorney General Rokita soon will file additional lawsuits aimed at stopping two other Biden vaccine mandates. These are: 1) an Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) rule forcing all employers with 100 or more workers to require all employees to be vaccinated (or produce weekly negative COVID-19 tests) and 2) a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) rule requiring vaccination of all health care workers at facilities participating in Medicare and/or Medicaid.

These two mandates together cover at least two-thirds of all U.S. workers.

“Hoosiers and all Americans need effective leadership from President Biden that shows respect for their rights,” Attorney General Rokita said. “Such leadership requires an approach quite different from imposing these intrusive federal mandates that tilt toward tyranny.”

IVY TECH TO PROVIDE FAFSA HELP TODAY

IVY TECH TO PROVIDE HELP FAFSA HELP TODAY

Evansville, IN – Financial aid professionals from this area will be volunteering at Ivy Tech Community College Evansville campus to help college-bound students and their families open the door to financial aid during College Goal Sunday.  The event is set for 2 PM, Sunday, Nov. 7.

The free program assists Indiana students in filing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA form is required for students to be considered for federal and state grants, scholarships, and federal student loans at most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools nationwide.  The FAFSA MUST be filed by April 15 to be eligible for Indiana financial aid. One of many reasons College Goal Sunday is so important is because many families perceive the form to be too complicated and time-consuming to complete.  In less than one afternoon during College Goal Sunday, students and their families can get free help and file the form.

“Filing the FAFSA can seem daunting to Hoosier students and families,” said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. “However, it’s an important step for anyone interested in education beyond high school. College Goal Sunday provides an opportunity for individuals to receive one-on-one assistance from financial aid experts to ensure their FAFSA is completed accurately before the deadline.”

Now in its 33rd year, College Goal Sunday has helped more than 94,000 Indiana students and families complete the FAFSA properly and on time.  College Goal Sunday is a charitable program of the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association (ISFAA).

College Goal Sunday Doubles The Help Offered

“The event on November 7 will be the first of two College Goal Sunday events ISFAA is offering this FAFSA filing season,” said Bill Wozniak, co-chair of College Goal Sunday.  “We hope all Hoosiers who have not filed already, take advantage of College Goal Sunday, file the FAFSA, and get one step closer to fulfilling their educational goals.”

According to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education, programs like College Goal Sunday are reaching first-generation college students.  In recent years, according to CHE statistics, more single-parent Hoosier families have filed for financial aid, indicating programs like College Goal Sunday are reaching high-risk students and their families.

“Students who don’t complete their financial aid paperwork properly and on time are often very disappointed when they find out how much financial aid they lost,” said Wozniak.  “This is why the Indiana Student Financial Aid Association not only continues to provide College Goal Sunday but offers two events during the year.  If our assistance gives students a better chance at education beyond high school and less debt, we’re fulfilling our mission.”

What Students Should Bring

Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parent(s) should bring completed 2020 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms, and other 2020 income and benefits information.  Students who worked should also bring their income information.  Students, 24 years of age or older may attend alone and bring their completed 2020 IRS 1040 tax return, W-2 Form, or other 2020 income and benefits information.  Students and parent(s) are encouraged to apply for their U.S. Department of Education FSA IDs at studentaid.gov before logging in to the event. 

Volunteers will walk through the online form line-by-line and answer families’ individual questions as needed.  All sites offer FAFSA online capabilities and many have Spanish interpreters.  A complete list of sites is available at CollegeGoalSunday.org. 

Attendees May Win A Scholarship From College Goal Sunday

Students may also win one of five $1,000 scholarships.  Students who attend College Goal Sunday and submit a completed evaluation form will automatically be entered in a drawing for a $1,000 scholarship.  The winners will be notified in spring and scholarships will be sent directly to the higher education institution selected by the winning students.

21st Century Scholars Benefit 

21st Century Scholars are income-eligible students who sign a contract in the seventh or eighth grade promising they will graduate from high school, meet grade point requirements, fulfill a pledge of good citizenship, and apply for college financial aid.  Upon high school completion, Scholars who have fulfilled the commitment and demonstrate financial need receive state funds to help cover their college tuition and fees for up to eight semesters at eligible Indiana public colleges or an equal dollar amount at eligible Indiana private colleges. To fulfill their pledge scholars must submit a completed FAFSA form on time, College Goal Sunday can help.

Program Is A National Model

College Goal Sunday originated right here in Indiana and is now a national model.  Following Indiana’s example, College Goal Sunday events organized by more than 34 states have opened doors to higher education for hundreds of thousands of students all over the country.
