UE Cecilia Thon Earns MVC Scholar-Athlete Recognition

SAINT LOUIS – University of Evansville senior Cecilia Thon was recognized with Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention recognition on Tuesday as part of a group of 22 student-athletes named to the 2021 Missouri Valley Conference volleyball scholar-athlete first team and honorable mention team, announced by the league office today.

Thon has excelled in her time at UE, accumulating a 3.96 GPA as an International Studies major.  She has been named to the Dean’s List in every semester at the university.

On the court, she has enjoyed her top season with the Purple Aces.  In September, she earned a spot on the Eagle Challenge All-Tournament Team at Morehead State where she finished with 8.70 assists, 2.70 digs and 0.80 blocks per set.  That weekend saw her total a career-high 34 assists versus defending Ohio Valley Conference champion Morehead State.  Thon wrapped up the season with a total of 23 service aces, an average of 0.24 per set, which ranked 21st in the VC.

The scholar-athlete team is selected by a vote of the league’s volleyball sports information directors, with approval from head coaches. Forty-three student-athletes were nominated for the MVC’s scholar-athlete team. The criterion for the honor parallels the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) standards for Academic All-America voting. Nominees must be starters or important reserves with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale). Also, students must have participated in at least 75-percent of the regular-season matches. Student-athletes must have reached sophomore status in both athletic and academic standing at their institution (true freshmen and redshirt freshmen were not eligible).

UE Rally Falls Short Against Vermont

0

 ESTERO, Fla. – Less than 24 hours after playing a triple overtime game against Rice, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team was right back in action on Tuesday in the first-ever meeting against Vermont at the Gulf Coast Showcase.

After trailing by one at the half, the Purple Aces (2-5) dropped the contest to the Catamounts (4-2) by a final of 58-49.  Jawaun Newton followed up Monday’s career effort with 16 points on 5-of-9 shooting.  He added three rebounds and connected on four 3-pointers.  Noah Frederking added nine points and a team-high seven boards.  Leading Vermont was Isaiah Powell with 17 points.

After completing the first 30-point game of his career, Jawaun Newton came out on fire once again, knocking down two early 3-pointers to give the Aces an 8-2 lead four minutes into the game.  Vermont rallied to tie it up at 10-10 on a 3-point play at the 11:51 mark.

The next segment belonged to Evansville, who outscored the Catamounts by a 9-2 margin to take its largest lead at 19-12.  Noah Frederking got it started with a jumper before Blaise Beauchamp connected on his first basket of the game.  It was Newton who capped off the run, posting the final five points to give the Aces the 19-12 lead with 7:36 remaining in the half.

Evansville’s lead remained at seven (23-16) with 3:41 on the clock, but over the final minutes, Vermont made its way back into the contest before eventually taking the lead.  The Catamounts recorded the final 8 points of the half including a pair of free throws in the final 10 seconds to take the first lead of the game at 24-23.  UE missed its final three shots while turning it over twice.  Newton led all scorers with 11 in the opening stanza.

Vermont scored first out of the half before extending the advantage to eight points at 33-25.  Over a stretch of 9:15, the Catamounts outscored the Aces by a 17-2 margin when the run wrapped up with 14:26 left.  A 3-point play by Newton along with a triple from Gage Bobe helped the Aces cut the deficit to three, but Vermont would slowly extend its lead, pushing the edge to 42-33 as the game entered its final nine minutes.

With two minutes remaining, the Vermont lead reached a game-high 16 points (56-40) before UE was able to close in the final minutes, leading to a final of 58-49.  UE completes the Gulf Coast Showcase on Wednesday at 11 a.m. against either Appalachian State or Akron.

Eagles stung by Yellow Jackets, 101-88

0

– University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball stumbled for the first time in 2021-22 with a 101-88 loss at Cedarville University Monday evening in Cedarville, Ohio. USI, ranked 16th nationally in the D2SIDA Top 25 poll, begins the year 1-1, while Cedarville rises to 2-3.

The Screaming Eagles had the hot hand in the first half, hitting 57.7 percent from the field (15-26), but trailed by 12 points at the break, 55-43.The Yellow Jackets matched the Eagles in the offensive performance by hitting 77.3 percent from the field (17-22), taking advantage of 11 USI turnovers. Cedarville had a 19-13 advantage in points off turnovers during the first 20 minutes.

After the Eagles found themselves down 19 points (53-34) with two minutes left until halftime, USI went on a 9-3 run to cut into the deficit. Senior guard Trevell Cunningham (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) had all nine of the USI points to end the half and completed the first 20 minutes with a team-best 14 points.

The USI surge at the end of the first half extended into the second half as the Eagles cut the deficit to six, 57-51, with 17:17 left on the clock. Junior guard Jelani Simmons (Columbus, Ohio) paced the start of the second half with six of the eight points to get to within six.

The Yellow Jackets responded with a run of their own, re-extending the margin to 12, 66-54, two minutes later. Cedarville would nurse the double-digit lead until after the midway point of the final half on a bucket by junior guard Myles Belyeu (Mason, Ohio) with 4:20 to pull the Eagles to within nine, 87-78. The nine-point deficit would be as close the Eagles would come the rest of the game.

USI sophomore guard Tyler Henry (Brooklyn, New York) led the Eagles’ offensive attack in the second half and the game, finishing with a USI career-best 23 points. Henry, who scored all 23 of his points in the final 20 minutes, was eight-of-11 from the field, including four-of-five from long range, and three-of-three from the striple.

Cunningham was held scoreless in the second half and followed with his 14 first half points, while Simmons and senior forward Clayton Hughes (Jackson, Tennessee) rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11 points and 10 points, respectively.

COMING UP FOR USI:
USI concludes a two-game road swing Wednesday when it crosses the Ohio River to play Kentucky Wesleyan College in the Owensboro Sports Center. Tip-off is slated for 7 p.m.

Kentucky Wesleyan is 3-1 after posting an 86-68 victory over East/West University Saturday at the Sports Center. The Panther started the season with a win over the University of Illinois Springfield and a loss to Lindenwood University in the opening weekend before defeating Midway University in their home opener.

USI trails in the all-time series with KWC, 49-43, but has won the last seven-straight with the Panthers. The Eagles, who have won the last three at the Owensboro Sports Center, defeated the Panthers, 82-63, to open Screaming Eagles Arena in 2019.

SYPHILIS OUTBREAK WORK CONTINUES IN VANDERBURGH COUNTY

0

Indiana Department Of Health Partners With Vanderburgh County Health Department To Provide Free Testing And Treatment In The Community

EVANSVILLE – The Vanderburgh County Health Department (VCHD), with support from the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), is continuing the efforts to reach those who may be at risk of adult syphilis detected in a geographical area in and around Evansville. 

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause serious health problems and can spread to the brain and nervous system if left untreated. To help prevent further spread of disease, the VCHD will offer syphilis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), as well as treatment for syphilis, at no cost for patients and their exposed sexual or needle-sharing partners next week.  

This community outreach plan will include expanded canvassing within Evansville the week of November 22nd.  Information concerning the disease and how someone can get tested and possibly treated will be provided.

The Indiana Department of Health will have two mobile units in Evansville starting November 29th.  These mobile units will be set up in different locations to provide screening/testing and treatment to anyone who might be at risk or are concerned they may have been exposed.

Common risk factors seen in the outbreak include homelessness, exchanging money or drugs for sex, using methamphetamine, injection drug use, using social media/internet to meet partners and incarceration within the last year. Additionally, this outbreak has been linked to exposures to other infectious diseases, including HIV and viral hepatitis (hepatitis A and C). Anyone who has been exposed to syphilis or meets any of the risk factors listed above should contact a healthcare provider for screening and treatment options.

Todd Rokita Announces Expanded Parents’ Bill Of Rights

Todd Rokita Announces Expanded Parents’ Bill Of Rights

Attorney General Todd Rokita today issued an expanded version of his office’s Parents’ Bill of Rights that contains, among other new information, a fresh section on parents’ rights involving medical decisions for their children. Labeled Parents’ Bill of Rights 2.0, it includes new information on:

  • How to file a civil rights claim if your student is being discriminated against;
  • How to better engage school boards and get documents;
  • How to become aware of your students’ medical rights;
  • How to run for school boards; and
  • How to opt out of your student’s curriculum.

“Hoosier parents statewide are embracing their God-given roles as primary providers of their children’s education and upbringing,” Attorney General Rokita said. “So many dedicated moms and dads responded with such appreciation to our Parents’ Bill of Rights when we first released it in June, and they raised many new questions and concerns that we are honored to help address in this Parents’ Bill of Rights 2.0.”

The newly released version contains new guidance on such issues as social-emotional learning, open access to educational records, opting out of curriculum, and filing civil rights complaints. This edition also provides a section on parents’ rights as it pertains to medical decisions for their children, including access to student health records, vaccination requirements, and educational accommodations.

Indiana standards should reflect a holistic approach that is balanced and representative of all viewpoints and consistent with the curriculum approved by the Indiana General Assembly. Standards reflecting various civic and moral instruction must be crafted in ways that reflect equality, inclusivity, and diversity, while not maligning parents, students, and educators.

“Many Indiana teachers are committed, passionate educators who would never contemplate using classroom time to indoctrinate students into specific political ideologies,” Attorney General Rokita said. “But parents have learned they must stay watchful, and they need to understand their legal rights to participate in the part of their children’s education that occurs outside the home, including in government schools.”
