UE set for pivotal weekend on the road

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – A pivotal road trip awaits the University of Evansville volleyball team this weekend when the Purple Aces travel to Illinois State and Bradley.  UE opens on Friday evening against the Redbirds at 6 p.m. before traveling to Peoria to take on the Braves at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

Last Time Out

– Giulia Cardona recorded 18 kills, 13 digs and 5 service aces to lead the Aces to a 3-1 win over SIU on Monday evening

– Melanie Feliciano had 15 kills while Alondra Vazquez recorded a double-double with 10 kills and 15 digs

– A stellar outing saw Taya Haffner set career marks with 4 kills and 4 blocks while adding 37 assists and a pair of aces

 

Top Freshman

– After adding five service aces to her season tally against SIU, Giulia Cardona moved into the top ten in the nation in that statistic

– With a conference-leading 0.52 aces per set, Cardona now ranks 9th in the nation and is the top freshman in the country with her average

– Cardona won three consecutive MVC Freshman of the Week honors between Oct. 11 and 25 and was the first player to win three freshman awards in a row was Illinois State’s Stef Jankiewicz in 2017

 

Contributing in all Facets

– Monday’s win over Southern Illinois saw freshman Taya Haffner set career marks in a pair of categories – kills and blocks

– She posted 4 kills and 4 block assists – her top season tally in both

– Her assist numbers continue to add up as she continues to pace the league with 11.00 per set while sitting 14th nationally

– After reaching 50 helpers for the first time in the contest at Drake, Haffner reset her career high with 56 in the home match versus Loyola

– Averaging 10+ assists on 15 occasions this fall, Haffner has recorded at least 37 helpers in 10 consecutive matches

 

Moving On Up

– Madisyn Steele continues to rack up assists at an impressive level, totaling a solo block and 9 block assists over the last two matches

– Steele’s season average has jumped to 0.86 per set, which is second on the team

– Over her previous 59 sets of work, Steele has registered 4 solo blocks and 51 block assists

 

Those Interested In Scholarships And Paying For College Are Encouraged to participate in one of many free events at Vincennes University and Vincennes University Jasper

VINCENNES, Ind., November 2, 2021 – Vincennes University is continuing its mission of making higher education accessible and affordable to students from all backgrounds by hosting several events that will help individuals and their families learn about financial aid opportunities and navigate the process.
Individuals and families who need advice or information can participate in a Virtual Financial Aid Night hosted by Admissions on Tuesday, Nov. 23; Wednesday, Dec. 8; and Thursday, Dec. 16. They are invited to talk with a Financial Aid Representative to discuss scholarships, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, generous financial aid packages, and more.
The virtual sessions begin at 6:30 p.m. (ET). Reservations are required. VU Admissions counselors can be reached by phone at 812-888-4313 and email at vuadmit@vinu.edu.
VU is also holding College Goal Sunday events at the Vincennes Campus and Jasper Campus on Nov. 7 at 2 p.m. (ET).
Financial aid professionals will provide free FAFSA filing help to college-bound students and their families. Most colleges, universities, and vocational/technical schools throughout the U.S. require students seeking federal financial aid, including grants and loans, to complete the FAFSA.
The Vincennes Campus College Goal Sunday event is at Updike Hall: Center for Science, Engineering, and Mathematic SEM Learning Lab, Room 132, 1251 N. Chestnut St. The VU Jasper event is in the Jasper Campus Classroom Building. A complete list of sites is available at CollegeGoalSunday.org.
Students should attend College Goal Sunday with their parent(s) or guardian(s), and parents should bring completed 2020 IRS 1040 tax returns, W-2 Forms, and other 2020 income and benefits information. Students who worked should bring their income information as well. Students age 24 or older may attend alone and should bring their own 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 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.
Making a college education affordable and accessible is at the foundation of VU’s mission. Reducing financial barriers will help more students fulfill their dreams of obtaining a college degree.
VU is the lowest-priced residential college in Indiana, and it has the state’s second-lowest tuition rates.
The University extended its pledge to ensure a college education is within reach and announced last month it is further expanding its support of students and families affected by the pandemic and other current challenges by offering additional scholarships to students. VU is continuing its Residential Opportunity Scholarships for Vincennes Campus students to help make a VU education even more accessible for students and families. Newly admitted students in 2022-23 will receive up to $2,500 per year, for a total of up to $5,000.
Last spring, VU reduced the cost of attendance for a student living on campus by as much as 28 percent through Residential Opportunity Scholarships.
Please check out our University Events Calendar. It is a valuable resource that allows current students, future students, faculty, staff, alumni, and members of the public to find out about upcoming events and other exciting happenings at VU.

0

Two $25,000 State Farm Neighborhood Assist® grants will be presented to Youth First, Inc. and Hangers by local State Farm agents on Friday, November 5, at 11:00 am. The check presentation will be held at Roger’s Academy of Hair Design, 221 Main Street, Evansville. The media is invited to attend.

Nationwide over 3 million votes were cast in support of favorite causes through the State Farm Neighborhood Assist® program, a crowd-sourced philanthropic process that empowers communities to address issues in their neighborhoods. Thanks to the many supporters who voted, Youth First and Hangers both finished among the Top 40 vote-getters nationwide, with each organization receiving a $25,000 grant.

Youth First will use their grant toward embedding Youth First Social Workers and prevention programs in 12 additional Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation (EVSC) schools. Youth First partners with 105 schools across 12 Indiana counties to provide skilled social work support and prevention programs that build resiliency and strengthen the mental health of youth.

Hangers serves 3,000 EVSC students annually with clothing and basic hygiene products. Specifically, the organization will use this grant to fund coats, shoes, and uniform clothing for 250 students. This level of funding will have a ripple effect, leaving a positive impact on student families, school educators, and staff.

 

 

UE To Host First-Ever Meet At Deaconess Aquatic Center November 6

0

The University of Evansville swimming and diving teams will make Tri-State history on Saturday, November 6, as UE will host the first-ever competition at the new Deaconess Aquatic Center in Evansville. UE will host Saint Louis University and Arkansas-Little Rock in a triangular meet which will begin at 1 p.m. and is open to the public, with admission being $5.

The $30 million state-of-the-art facility opened to the Evansville public on October 4, 2021. It features a stretch 50-meter competitive pool, plus a separate diving well with one-meter and three-meter springboards. The Deaconess Aquatic Center features raised spectator seating for just under 1,000 people, with the ability to accommodate over 1,000 bleacher seats on the pool deck, to make it one of the top competition pools in the region. It is located at 1700 North Main Street in Evansville and is adjacent to historic Bosse Field.

“The City of Evansville and the Deaconess Aquatic Center are thrilled to roll out the red carpet for the University of Evansville swimming and diving teams, as well as its competitors from Saint Louis University and Arkansas-Little Rock,” said Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. “This showcase facility will give swimmers and divers a venue in which to perform at the highest possible competitive level.”

“We’re thrilled to begin hosting important local and regional competitions like this,” said Jennifer Brown, COO of the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana.  “Ongoing partnerships with organizations like UE are crucial in elevating awareness and interest of all things aquatics within our local community, which has always been our goal.”

“I am excited for UE, the team, and our fans to get a chance to swim and host our meet at the Deaconess Aquatic Center,” said UE swimming and diving head coach Stuart Wilson.  “The community is really going to enjoy watching the first meet ever to compete in the facility.  With it being our ‘Senior Recognition Day,’ it will also be a great way to thank our seniors for their sacrifice and commitment to competing for UE.”

“We are excited to be able to make this meet a reality for our swimming and diving programs, and for the opportunity to compete in this new, world-class venue,” said UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer.  “It will be especially fun to be able to share this experience with our fans, family and friends in such a wonderful facility in a safe manner.”

UE was originally scheduled to host Arkansas-Little Rock on November 5 and Saint Louis on November 6 on campus, but the meets were combined in order to be a part of Evansville history. Every first-place time in the triangular meet will be the new pool standard at the Deaconess Aquatic Center, which will begin hosting more competitions at various levels this winter.

The November 6 meet will also be “Senior Day” for the UE swimming and diving programs, as the Purple Aces will honor eight senior males and seven senior females prior to the meet. The meet will be open to the public, with admission being $5.

Big Ten Awards Burns, Tyler for Dominant Weekend Performances

0

 

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – After helping No. 5 Indiana men’s swimming to three ranked wins at Ohio State over the weekend, IU student-athletes earned a pair of Big Ten weekly awards as announced by the conference office Wednesday (Nov. 3).

 

Junior Brendan Burns was named the Big Ten Men’s Swimmer of the Week and freshman Carson Tyler was selected as the Big Ten Men’s Diver of the Week for their contributions to the IU men’s sweep in a double dual meet Friday and Saturday (Oct. 29-30), beating No. 11 Ohio State, No. 12 Virginia Tech and No. 25 Penn State.

 

Each student-athlete earned his second Big Ten weekly award of the season as both earned awards on October 20. For Burns, it’s the third of his career.

 

Burns dominated over the weekend, contributing four wins and six total top three finishes to the men’s score. Four of his times were NCAA B cut qualifying times and all six of his times rank top 10 in the nation and top five in the Big Ten. Burns won the 200 Backstroke and 200 Butterfly and was part of IU’s victorious 400 and 200 Medley Relay squads.

 

Tyler swept the 1-Meter and 3-Meter dive competitions, totaling three wins in four events this season. In both events, Tyler earned NCAA Zone Qualifying scores and has collected qualifying marks in all four events this season. In the 3M, Tyler scored a 440.65 and in the 1M a 362.00.

 

UE men host Kentucky Wesleyan in final exhibition

0

Aces and Panthers meet on Thursday evening

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In its final tune-up before the start of the 2021-22 regular season, the University of Evansville men’s basketball team will be back at the Ford Center on Thursday evening to face Kentucky Wesleyan.   The exhibition contest is set for a 6 p.m. start time.

 

Last Time Out                                                                                                           

– On Saturday, the Purple Aces pulled away for a 74-45 victory over Mount St. Joseph in the first preseason contest

– Shamar Givance and Emmette Page led the way with 14 points apiece while Antoine Smith Jr. added 13

– A back-and-forth battle early on saw the Lions wrestle away an 11-10 lead just over seven minutes into the game before Evansville retook control with a 10-0 run in the final two minutes of the first half to lead by a 40-22 tally at the break

– Preston Phillips tied Givance for the top rebound tally with five while fellow newcomer Blaise Beauchamp added nine points in his first on-court action at UE

 

Scouting the Opponent

– Kentucky Wesleyan is coming off of a 10-6 campaign that saw them win 9 of their 14 Great Midwest conference games before falling in the first round of the league tournament in March

– The Panthers lose top scorers Tre Cobbs and Zach Hopewell, who combined to average 30.3 points per game but will look to Wyatt Battaile and Jamil Wilson to pick up the slack

– Battaile recorded 12.1 PPG a season ago while Wilson finished with 8.8 points

 

A Brief History Lesson

– Thursday’s exhibition game will mark the next chapter in a rivalry that has been going since 1948

– While Thursday’s game does not officially count towards the all-time records, the teams have met on 58 occasions with Evansville taking 36 wins

– The teams have met just once in the regular season since 1986 with that game coming in 2018

 

New Guys Chipping In

– Exhibition games provide the opportunity to try out multiple different lineups while newcomers are able to work their way onto the floor

– Antoine Smith Jr. was in the starting lineup and finished with 13 points and 3 rebounds in 26 minutes of action

– While technically not a newcomer as he played two games last season, Emmette Page was 5-of-6 from the field on his way to 14 points…he led the team with three steals while adding a rebound and an assist

– Blaise Beauchamp was a perfect 4-for-4 from the line on his way to a 9-point game while Preston Phillips tied for the UE lead with five boards while dishing out two assists

– Blake Sisley scored three points in 13 minutes of work while Grant Tichenor recorded a helper in the final minute
