EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team returns home on Sunday, hosting in-state rival Indiana State in a key MVC match. Kick-off is set for 6 PM.

Last Time Out
Despite scoring the first goal of the night, Evansville suffered their first MVC loss of the season on Thursday night, falling to SIU by a score of 2-1 in Carbondale.

Following a save by Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) in the sixth minute, Evansville threatened with a pair of corner kicks in the 17th and 18thminutes. After a shot by Emmy Brenner (Arlington, Tenn./St. Benedict at Auburndale) was blocked to earn a second corner, Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) delivered a perfect service to Taylor Wehrer (Las Vegas, Nev.), who headed a shot past the SIU keeper for the game’s first goal. The goal was Wehrer’s team-leading fourth of the season.

However, the Salukis were quick respond, netting the equalizer in the 20th minute.

In the 32nd minute, the Salukis threatened once again, but Lammers was able to deny a shot on goal with a diving save.

The score went into the half even at 1-1, but SIU quickly took the lead with a goal in the 53rd minute.

That goal proved to be the winner, as the Aces were unable to find a second goal and the Salukis walked away with a 2-1 win.

Series History 
Sunday marks the 28th all-time meeting between Evansville and Indiana State. The Purple Aces lead the all-time series 12-11-4, but are looking for their first win over the Sycamores since 2021, when they advanced in the MVC Tournament on penalty kicks.

Scouting Indiana State
Indiana State brings a 4-3-5 record into Sunday’s match and have tied each of their first two MVC matches. The last time out for the Sycamores came on Thursday, a 1-1 draw against UIC.

In Word 120, Hope Will Not Disappoint

Hope Will Not Disappoint by Jerome Stewart

Psalm 14 vs. 1 says; The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”  Do not be a fool! Many people have given up on life and can be counted as “the walking dead,” when it doesn’t have to be that way. God sent Jesus into the world because of His love for mankind. There is always hope in Jesus Christ. He died so that we could live in eternity with the Godhead, meaning the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

In Romans chapter 8 the apostle Paul made reference to the expectation of the redeemed based on hope in Christ. Vs. 24 he says; “For we were saved in this hope, but hope seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.” 

None of us today have seen Christ, but our hope is in Him. For those who know Jesus as Lord and Savior we must diligently try to live a life worthy of our kingdom citizenship every day. The devil is busy today! But Jesus is busier!!!

As to the redeemed strongly consider the words of the Apostle John in Revelations 21 vss. 2 thru 4 which says; “Then I John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 

In the Apostle Paul’s epistle to Timothy in 1st. Timothy chapter 6 vss. 12 thru 16 he says; “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which also you were called and have confessed a good confession in the presence of many witnesses. I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power.” 

So the question is this. Do you know Jesus? If not you need to. He died for you!

USI receives $1 million from The Good Samaritan Home, Inc.

0

The University of Southern Indiana Foundation has received a $1 million gift commitment from The Good Samaritan Home, Inc. to establish the University of Southern Indiana–Good Samaritan Internship Program, designed to expand access to social work professionals and critical services in southwestern Indiana.

The gift will support paid internship opportunities for students enrolled in USI’s Social Work Programs, as well as fund a clinical faculty position for five years in the USI College of Liberal Arts. The program places emphasis on supporting underserved and rural communities, particularly in the areas of mental health, behavioral health, social services and addiction support.

“This gift from The Good Samaritan Home is both generous and visionary,” said Steve Bridges, USI President. “It addresses an urgent need in our region by preparing more students to become highly skilled social workers while also extending vital services to communities that need them most. We are deeply grateful for this partnership and the impact it will have on our students, our University and the people of southwestern Indiana.”

Internship eligibility will be limited to USI students enrolled in USI Social Work Programs who meet prerequisites for generalist or clinical internships and demonstrate an interest in supporting underserved or rural communities.

The USI College of Liberal Arts, in partnership with the Social Work Program leadership, will oversee the program and collaborate with The Good Samaritan Home to establish outcome metrics.

“We are very excited to be partnering with USI to help create more highly skilled social workers in southwestern Indiana and to provide critically needed mental health services in this region,” says Rev. Michael Erwin, Good Samaritan Home Executive Director. “Good Samaritan Home was an innovative outreach of the United Churches of Christ when it was begun 60 years ago. Times have changed, but our focus has not, serving those in need with care, compassion, knowledge and expertise. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to its future.”

The University of Southern Indiana–Good Samaritan Internship Program represents a significant step in addressing the shortage of social workers in southwestern Indiana while offering students meaningful, real-world experience that prepares them to make a lasting impact in their careers and communities.
