Evansville, In.:  After falling behind early, the Thunderbolts kept pace with the Storm but failed to completely come back, losing 5-2 in a rough-and-tumble game at Ford Center on Friday night.  The Thunderbolts next home game will be on Friday, January 21stat 7:00pm CST as they host the Vermilion County Bobcats.  For tickets, call (812)422-BOLT (2658), buy online at EvansvilleThunderbolts.com, or buy tickets in person at the Ford Center Box Office.

Tommy Stang and Filip Virgili gave Quad City an early 2-0 lead, their goals only 10 seconds apart at 4:52 and 5:02 respectively.  Evansville responded with a power play goal by Cameron Cook at 14:39 from Matt MacKay and Tate Leeson to cut the lead to 2-1, as the Thunderbolts power play has now scored in 4 of their last 5 games.  Early in the second period, Virgili scored a power play goal of his own to re-extend Quad City’s lead to 3-1.  The highlight of the latter stages of the second period proved to be a victorious fight for Evansville’s Charles Barber over Quad City’s Richie Pinkowski.  Zane Jones scored shorthanded at 3:46 of the third period, assisted by Austin Plevy to again cut the lead to 3-2, but the Storm responded only 18 seconds later, and added an empty net goal to defeat the Thunderbolts 5-2.

votes1920     Governor James P. Goodrich called a special session of the Indiana Legislature to ratify the Women’s Suffrage Amendment to the United States Constitution.  Indiana was the 26th state to approve the amendment, which became effective nationwide on August 18, 1920.  In signing the legislation, Governor Goodrich called it “an act of tardy justice.”
wood1928     Marvin Wood was born in Shelby County.  At the age of 26, he coached the Milan High School basketball team to a state championship in 1954.  The victory was the inspiration for the movie “Hoosiers.”  Wood went on to coach at New Castle, North Central (Indianapolis,) and Mishawaka High Schools, as well as Bethel and St. Mary’s Colleges.  His career win/loss record was 329-229.
move1949     The world premiere for Walt Disney’s “So Dear to My Heart” was held at the Music Hall at Purdue University.  Several actors in the movie, including Bobby Driscoll and Burl Ives, were present for the event.  The motion picture, with live action and animation, tells of a boy’s life in Pike County, Indiana, at the turn of the 20th Century.

Hoosier Men Dominate Louisville, IUSD Splits Meet

0

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Fifth-ranked Indiana men’s swimming and diving team continues to roll into the new year as it defeated No. 11 Louisville, 205-95, Friday (January 14) inside Counsilman-Billingsley Aquatic Center.

The Hoosier men improved its season dual meet record to 7-0 while earning its 13th straight dual meet victory, a streak that goes back to 2019.

“I thought our men took care of business against a good team,” head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “Across the board, I was proud of them.”

Indiana diving was fantastic again as the men’s and women’s teams combined for four wins in the 1-meter and 3-meter dives. Senior Kristen Hayden won both events on the women’s side, and freshman Carson Tyler duplicated that for the men.

It was a great start to the new year for the Hoosier divers,” head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “The whole team was happy to be back competing. The work they did in our training camp over break is starting to pay off.”

Missing a handful of athletes, the women’s team fell to the 15th-ranked Cardinals, 182-118, dropping to 5-2 on the season. Diving provided a bright spot for the women’s team, as Hoosiers filled the top five placements in the 3-meter dive and four of the top five spots in the 1-meter.

“We just have to tip our hat to the Cardinals,” Looze said. “They were the better team, and we didn’t have the answers in enough events to make it a competitive meet. We’ll go back to the drawing board, and our goal is to be much sharper against Purdue in a week. It’s nice to have another meet to jump right into.
