Balanced attack lifts Eagles to 10th win

0

INDIANAPOLIS—Six University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball players reached double-figures in the scoring column as the Screaming Eagles earned an 89-78 Great Lakes Valley Conference road win over host University of Indianapolis Saturday afternoon at Nicoson Hall.
 
The Screaming Eagles (10-2, 4-0 GLVC) forced the Greyhounds into 29 turnovers, including six in a game-altering 19-9 run during the final seven minutes of the opening half that saw USI turn a three-point deficit into a 43-35 halftime advantage.
 
USI extended that lead to double-digits three minutes into the third period and led by 12 with three minutes to play in the third frame before a UIndy run closed the gap.
 
The Greyhounds (4-9, 1-4 GLVC) outscored the Eagles 9-2 throughout the final two minutes of the third period to cut their deficit to 62-58 heading into the final 10 minutes of the contest.
 
USI, however, got a free throw from junior forward Hannah Haithcock (Washington Courthouse, Ohio) followed three-pointers from freshman guard Vanessa Shafford(Linton, Indiana) and junior guard Addy Blackwell (Bloomington, Indiana) as the Eagles scored seven points in a 40-second span to push their lead back to double-figures less than two minutes into the fourth quarter.
 
UIndy stayed within reach of the Eagles throughout the next few minutes, but a pair of Shafford layups put USI up by 12 with five-and-a-half minutes to play, while fifth-year senior guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) sandwiched a pair of three-pointers around two free throws to put USI up, 83-69, two minutes later.
 
The Eagles, who turned UIndy’s offensive miscues into 39 points, finished with 16 steals while committing just 12 of their own turnovers.
 
Haithcock, who came off the bench to help USI’s reserves outscore UIndy’s bench players 36-19, led the Eagles with 15 points and six rebounds. Shafford added 14 points, a team-high tying seven rebounds and three steals, while DeHart and Blackwell each had 14 points.
 
Sophomore forward Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) added 12 points and seven rebounds, while senior forward Ashlynn Brown (Perrysburg, Ohio) chipped in 11 points to go along with a team-high tying three assists and three steals. DeHart also had three assists.
 
The six players USI had score in double-figures marked the most players they have had reach double-digits since they had six reach double-digits in a 92-73 home win over the University of Missouri-St. Louis January 22, 2009.
 
UIndy, meanwhile, was led by sophomore guard Marissa Knobloch and senior forward Liz Alsot. Knobloch led all scorers with 26 points, while Alsot had 18 points and a game-high nine rebounds. Sophomore guard Ilani Williams-Harris made headlines by breaking a 37-year old school-record with 15 assists.
 
USI returns to action Monday 5:30 p.m. when it hosts McKendree University in men’s and women’s doubleheader at Screaming Eagles Arena. The Bearcats (2-10, 1-3 GLVC) saw their game against Lewis University Saturday canceled due to health and safety protocols within the Flyer’s program.

Braun, Ernst Introduce Bill To Streamline FDA Inspections

0

Senators Mike Braun and Senator Joni Ernst introduced the Creating Efficiency in Foreign Inspections Act, which would eliminate the lead time that foreign pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities receive before FDA inspections to even the playing field between foreign and domestic manufacturers.

This legislation would create an incentive for drug manufacturers abroad to bring their facilities back to the U.S., leading to a stronger domestic supply chain.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed vulnerabilities in our supply chain and has forced us to reevaluate our reliance on foreign countries for the production of critical drugs. The Creating Efficiency in Foreign Inspections Actwill help bring drug manufacturing back to the U.S. to create a more reliable and robust pharmaceutical supply chain for the benefit of American patients.”— Senator Mike Braun

“Giving foreign drug manufacturers in countries like China a ‘heads up’ before facility inspections, while putting our own domestic producers at a disadvantage, makes about as much sense as relying on the CCP to make these critical goods in the first place. This bill will put American producers on a level playing field with foreign competitors, help bring manufacturing back to the U.S., and reduce our reliance on Communist China.”— Senator Joni Ernst

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.”

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.
case2000     A display case for the Indiana Constitutions was dedicated at the Statehouse.  Among those at the rotunda ceremony were Governor Frank O’Bannon, Chief Justice Randall Shepard, and State Senator James Merritt.  A special guest was Jacqueline Graham Burton, great-great granddaughter of Jonathan Jennings, the state’s first Governor.
