Eagles shut out Bearcats, complete road trip sweep

0

BOLIVAR, Mo. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer completed its road trip sweep with a 1-0 win at Southwest Baptist University Sunday afternoon in Bolivar, Missouri. The Screaming Eagles, who have won five-straight, go to 7-4-2 overall and 5-4-1 GLVC, while the Bearcats are 2-9-1, 2-8-0 GLVC.

The Eagles and the Bearcats were 0-0 at the end of the first half despite USI having a dominating 12-2 lead in shots. USI also had the advantage in corners, 5-1.

USI wasted little time taking the lead in the second half when sophomore forward Morgan Beyer (Rossford, Ohio) gave the Eagles a 1-0 lead at 46:42. The goal was Beyer’s second tally of the season and was assisted by freshman midfielder Avery Schone (Galena, Ohio).

The USI defense and sophomore goalkeeper Maya Etienne (Midland, Michigan) would make the one goal stand up the rest of the way. Etienne would get her fifth win and fifth shutout of the season after facing six shots and making two saves.

The shutout also is the 26th of Etienne’s career, putting her two away from becoming the USI all-time leader. Angie Gries holds the USI shutout record, compiling 27.5 between 1996 and 1999.

UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI returns to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field next weekend for the final homestand of the regular season. The Eagles are slated to host Maryville University Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Missouri University of Science & Technology Sunday at 2:30 p.m. for Senior Day.

Maryville is 5-6-1 overall and 4-5-1 in the league after defeating Lindenwood University Sunday at home. The Saints are .500 (2-2-1) in the last five matches.

USI has a 7-5-1 series lead over Maryville since the Saints joined the GLVC in 2009. The Eagles have three of the last five match-ups, including a 3-1 win in St. Louis last spring.

Missouri S&T finished Sunday afternoon with a 6-4-2 mark, 5-3-2 GLVC, after posting a 1-0 win over the University of Missouri-St. Louis in Rolla, Missouri. The Miners are 3-2-0 after today’s victory.

The Miners lead the all-time series with Missouri S&T, 11-6-1, but USI has won the last four meetings. The Eagles took last season’s match-up, 5-1, in Rolla.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita Speaks About Christopher Columbus Achievements

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita Speaks About Christopher Columbus Achievements

Attorney General Todd Rokita recently spoke at an event in Clinton Indiana today, a community with a large Italian immigrant population, where he celebrated the contributions of Christopher Columbus, honored the heritage of the nearly 17 million Italian Americans living in the U.S., and spoke about defending American liberties, the importance of religion, a strong family unit, and how we can preserve our God-given rights that are enshrined in the Constitution.

More than 500 years ago, Christopher Columbus bravely, and quite miraculously embarked on a voyage to the New World, where he was responsible for creating a new era of exploration and travels that led to the first settlements on what we now call the United States.

“For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, millions of American students were taught about the significance of Columbus’ discovery of the New World in school, and his contributions were greatly admired,” said Attorney General Rokita. “But now left-wing radical socialists are tearing down statues of Columbus, and diminishing a hero who was greatly respected by millions of Americans.”

Last Friday, Joe Biden signed a proclamation, making October 11th Indigenous People’s Day, in a deliberate attempt to purge Columbus from our history, and forever erase his contributions from memory. “If we want to celebrate the contributions of Indigenous People—and there are many—we can do that on a different day,” Attorney General Rokita said.

It is important that we celebrate what Columbus means to America. As Ronald Reagan once said: “Columbus is justly admired as a brilliant navigator, a fearless man of action, a visionary who opened the eyes of an older world to an entirely new one. Above all, he personifies a view of the world that many see as quintessentially American: not merely optimistic, but scornful of the very notion of despair.”

Indiana Latino Institute Recognizes Daniela Vidal With The Award Of Excellence

by CCO STAFF

OCTOBER 18, 2021

Ivy Tech Community College Evansville Campus Chancellor Daniela Vidal was recognized by the Indiana Latino Institute with the Award of Excellence. Recipients for the 2021 Indiana Latino Institute Award of Excellence were chosen based on their leadership and contributions to the Latino community in Indiana.

The Indiana Latino Institute (ILI) is a statewide non-profit with headquarters in Indianapolis. Its mission is to improve health and advance education for the Indiana Latino community through statewide advocacy, research, and culturally responsive programs. The vision is to be the source of authority and catalyst for change on all aspects of Health and Education that affect the Indiana Latino Community.

At the Hispanic Heritage Month luncheon in Indianapolis, ILI honored leaders and organizations that have stepped up over-and-above their on-going responsibilities to ensure the Latino community had support and thrived. Some leaders have founded organizations, others were elected, and some have contributed resources, their expertise, and their time. During the past year, when Covid-19 disproportionately affected the Latino Hoosier community’s health, education, income, housing and more, some Latino-serving organizations and their leaders increased their efforts, raising Covid prevention awareness, mobilizing the community to get vaccinated, offering boxes of food, advising on housing and eviction threat, and more. 

Almost 20 years ago, Vidal was one of a small group of visionary Latinos in Evansville who created HOLA, a non-profit organization that has evolved as the Latino community has grown. The annual HOLA Latino Festival is now the premier Latino event in the region. HOLA mobilizes the community to volunteer at events, trains Latinos to serve as advocates, and collaborates with the community to raise funds for selected causes. She also served on ILI’s Legislative Advisory Committee and helped create the 2021 policy agenda. Vidal is recognized by the education and business sectors as a leading education, workforce, and economic development voice of the Latino community. 

Her professional experiences over the last 25 years have led to a wide and deep trajectory. Starting as a Chemical Engineer conducting product research for Procter and Gamble in Venezuela (her native country) and later Mead Johnson in Evansville, to various manufacturing roles with GE Plastics (now Sabic), then transitioning to Higher Education spending 10 years at USI and now as the first Latina Ivy Tech Chancellor in Evansville. 

Starting just a week before the 2020 pandemic shut down, Vidal has navigated with strength, optimism, and empathy the strange waters of the post-covid era and leading the come back to classes with great success.
