THUNDERBOLTS RE-SIGN FORWARD

0
 
Evansville, In.:  The Evansville Thunderbolts and Head Coach/Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Bes are pleased to announce the re-signing of forward Derek Contessa for the 2025-26 season.  The Thunderbolts will raise their President’s Cup Championship banner prior to their 2025-26 home opener at Ford Center on Saturday, October 25th against the Quad City Storm.
                Contessa returns for his second season with the Thunderbolts after joining Evansville as a free agent in the Summer of 2024, after playing his first professional season with the Macon Mayhem in 2023-24.  In the 2024-25 regular season, Contessa scored 5 goals and 12 points in 45 games, bringing his SPHL regular season career total to 13 goals and 33 points in 93 games.  The Freehold, New Jersey native elevated his play in the President’s Cup Playoffs, scoring two goals, including the double overtime game-winning goal in Game One of the final series in Knoxville, and three points in Evansville’s 7 games en route to the President’s Cup.  Prior to 2023-24, Contessa played division one college hockey at Sacred Heart University from 2019-2021 and division three at Endicott College from 2021-2023.  In juniors, Contessa played one season in the NAHL with the Shreveport Mud Bugs in 2017-18, where he won a Robertson Cup Championship, and the Dubuque Fighting Saints of the USHL in 2018-19.
                Reflecting on 2024-25, Contessa commented: “Joining the team last year, I was ecstatic to come to Evansville and play at Ford Center.  I knew how great the town was and how professional of a building the Ford Center is.  Once I got to Evansville and met the team, I knew we had something special.  Winning any championship at any level is a feat to accomplish, and every team goes through ups and downs.  We were really close, and we meshed so well together that we were unstoppable during the playoffs.  We put all the pieces together, with the President’s Cup being the result, and winning the Cup is a memory that I will never forget.” Transitioning into 2025-26, Contessa continued: “(Winning the Cup) it’s something I want to replicate this year, and this year I want to finish in the top four of the standings going into the playoffs, giving ourselves more breathing room later in the regular season.  I want to be unstoppable as a power forward and contribute more consistently in scoring, my training this Summer has been focused on that, and I am excited to see how it plays out during the season.”  In closing, Contessa finished by saying: “My excitement level for this coming season is through the roof.  I can’t wait to be with the team and see our fans again.  The season is around the corner, and I can’t wait!”
                On re-signing Contessa, Head Coach Jeff Bes commented: “Contessa really stepped up last season and especially in the postseason.  He’s a big body who wins a lot of battles at the net-front and along the boards.  He was a dominant force in the playoffs, and we are confident he will bring that consistency throughout the coming season.”

Otters, Frontier League Reveal 2026 Schedule

0
EVANSVILLE, Ind – The Evansville Otters alongside the Frontier League are excited to reveal the regular season schedule for the 2026 season.

The Otters open the 2026 campaign with division rivals Florence and Washington, officially kicking off on the league’s early Opening Day on Thursday, May 7. There will be many opportunities to catch the Otters at Bosse FIeld to kick off the season as 12 of the first 15 games will be played at Bosse FIeld.

One of the most notable changes to the Frontier League schedule is the first 102-game season in league history (51 home games, 51 road games). All teams will play one additional week of games, pushing the final regular season games into Labor Day weekend. The playoff format remains the same, with four teams from each conference participating in the postseason.

The inter-conference slate includes a home series with Sussex County leading into the All-Star Week and a home series with New York at the end of July. Evansville only travels to one Atlantic Conference foe – a six-game series against the Down East Bird Dawgs to close the regular season. It will also mark the first-ever series between the two teams.

The 2026 Frontier League All-Star Game will be played in Florence, KY during the week of July 13-16, providing Evansville faithful a quick trip to see their All-Stars perform.

The Otters will travel to every Midwest Conference foe at least once – and make just one trip to Pearl, Miss. to face the division rival Mud Monsters – a six-game series to aid in travel logistics.

Due to a scheduling conflict for Windy City, there is one abnormality in the 2026 schedule. Evansville’s May 29-31 series at Windy City has been altered to a two-game series to be played on May 29 and 30. The extra game will now be part of a scheduled doubleheader of nine

USI 54th annual Madrigal Feaste returns December 4-7

0

The University of Southern Indiana Chamber Choir will host the 54th annual Madrigal Feaste Thursday through Sunday, December 4-7, in Carter Hall, located in University Center West on the USI campus. Performances will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, December 4-6, with doors opening at 6:30 p.m., and the Sunday, December 7 matinee performance will begin at 1 p.m. with doors opening at 12:30 p.m.

First performed in 1969 and USI’s most enduring musical tradition, the Madrigal Feaste takes guests back to 15th-century Ireland as the Choir entertains with selections of old English madrigals, Irish traditional folk songs and carols, as well as stirring choral selections for the holiday season. Performances combine vocal and instrumental music, dancing, drama, elegant Renaissance garb and fine dining.

For the past 30 years Daniel Craig, Associate Professor of Music and Director of the USI Chamber Choir, has led the Madrigal Feaste and has been an integral part of the College of Liberal Arts. For many years, he has taken students to Ireland to perform in iconic historical churches and New York City to perform in Carnegie Hall. He is planning some extra performances to mark his upcoming retirement.

“A reunion of former Chamber Choir members will take place prior to the Saturday night performance. Alumni will be singing with the current choir at the end of the performance,” says Craig. “It will be a nostalgic moment and a fun way to celebrate my last performances of the USI Madrigal Feaste.”

This year’s menu will include salad, soup of beef and barley, herb baked chicken and vegetables and bread pudding with rum sauce. Accommodations for dietary restrictions and allergies can be made during ticket purchase online or over the phone.

USI and UIW battle to a 2-2 tie Screaming Eagles continue homestand Thursday

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer and the University of the Incarnate Word battled to a 2-2 tie Sunday at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles go to 2-7-1 overall and 1-1-1 in the OVC, while the Cardinals go to 4-3-4, 0-1-2 OVC.

 
USI fell behind in the opening minutes after an Eagle foul in the box led to a UIW penalty kick at 3:18 and a 1-0 deficit. The Eagles had their chance during the opening half despite trailing 8-6 in shots and 4-2 in shots on goal.
 
In the second half, USI got the equalizer on a goal by sophomore forward David Davila off a pass from sophomore midfielder/back Ahiro Nakamae. The goal was Davila’s second of the season.
 
After UIW regained the lead, 2-1, on a goal at 79:53, USI freshman forward Edin Cvorovic knotted the match back up, 2-2, with a tally at 86:54. Cvorovic posted his second goal of the season from 10 yards out in the box after receiving passes from freshman forward Tony Murphy and Davila.
 
The final minutes would count down on the clock with UIW getting one more shot with 23 seconds left and the final buzzer.
 
UIW finished the game with a slight lead in shots, 14-12, and corner kicks, 6-3. USI freshman goalkeeper Jacob English faced six shots on-goal, making four saves.
 
NEXT UP FOR USI:
The Eagles begin the second half of their four-game homestand on Thursday, hosting Liberty University for a noon kickoff at Strassweg Field. The Flames enter tonight’s 7 p.m. match with Houston Christian with a 6-2-2 overall record, 2-0-0 in the OVC.
 
In the first meeting between the Eagles and the Flames, Liberty came away with a 6-1 victory in Lynchburg, Virginia. USI freshman midfielder Tony Murphy recorded the Eagles’ lone tally in the game with a second half goal.
 
Liberty leads the all-time series with USI 2-0-0.
 
The USI four-game homestand concludes October 12 when it hosts Southern Illinois University Edwardsville for a 5 p.m. OVC contest at Strassweg Field. The match is a part of a men’s and women’s soccer doubleheader with the women’s squad hosting SIUE at 1 p.m.
