0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indian sophomore midfielder Brian Winkler (Philpot, Kentucky) was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the Screaming Eagles road-trip sweep of Truman State University and Quincy University. The honor is the first of Winkler’s career and the first for the Eagles since Eric Ramirez won the award in 2018.

Winkler, who leads the Eagles and the GLVC in assists in 2021, assisted on all five of USI’s goals last weekend. He started last week by assisting on both goals in the 2-0 win over Truman State and the three goals in the 3-1 victory at Quincy University.

For the season, Winkler ranks third on USI with eight points on one goal and six assists.

Winkler and USI return to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field this weekend when they host Rockhurst University Friday at 5 p.m. and William Jewell College Saturday at noon. The Eagles (4-4-0, 3-3-0 GLVC) have won three-straight matches after starting the year with three-straight conference setbacks.

Auditor Klutz: Indiana Receives Highest Award For Financial Reporting

0

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana has received the highest award for financial reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the 28th year in a row, announced Auditor of State Tera Klutz, CPA.

GFOA awarded the State of Indiana the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the state’s 2020 Annual Comprehensive Financial report (ACFR). The ACFR is Indiana’s financial report for any given fiscal year and is prepared by the Auditor’s office and audited by the State Board of Accounts. The in-depth report accounts for all the state’s financial data for all of Indiana’s funds. The report also includes other financial, demographic, economic and statistical information.

Klutz added that the state’s ACFR is one of the main components used by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations to review and analyze Indiana’s financial condition and assign a credit rating. The state’s credit currently has a AAA rating, which means lower costs for borrowing and that Indiana’s financial health is strong.

“We have a great team that compiles this report which requires attention to detail, accuracy, and persistence in gathering information across state agencies,” Klutz said.  “I applaud their great achievement for so many consecutive years.”

GFOA is a major professional association providing services to nearly 19,000 state and local government officials whose mission is to promote excellence in state and local government financial management. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement by GFOA, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized ACFR that satisfies both accounting principles and legal requirements.

USI wins 3rd-straight, sweeps road trip

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer won its third-straight match and completed a road-trip sweep with a 3-1 win at Quincy University Sunday afternoon in Quincy, Illinois. The Eagles rise to the .500 mark at 4-4-0 overall and 3-3-0 in the GLVC, while the Hawks fall to 4-5-1, 2-4-1 GLVC in 2021.

USI freshman forward Zach Schoenstein (Evansville, Indiana) put the Eagles up early in the first half, 1-0, with his fourth goal of the season at 10:17 Schoenstein was assisted on his goal by sophomore midfielder Brian Winkler (Philpot, Kentucky).

USI would hold the 1-0 lead through the intermission after a very even first half that saw the Eagles outshoot the Hawks, 8-6.

The Eagles wasted little time in adding to their lead to open the second half when sophomore forward Zach Barton (St. Louis, Missouri) scored to make the score 2-0 at 46:36. Barton was assisted on his third goal of the season by Winkler.

After the Hawks cut the USI margin to 2-1 with 16:50 to play, Barton scored his second of the match and sealed the victory at 84:23. He tied Schoenstein for the season lead with four goals on the season and was assisted for a second time by Winkler.

Winker, who had three assists in the win and a team-best six assists on the season, assisted on all five of USI’s goals during the road trip sweep.

UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI comes home to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field next weekend when it hosts Rockhurst University Friday at 5 p.m. and William Jewell College Sunday at noon p.m.

Rockhurst is 4-5-1 overall, 3-2-1 GLVC, after 3-0 loss versus Lindenwood University today in Kansas City, Missouri. The Hawks hold a 21-2-5 series lead over the Eagles after tying 1-1 each of the last two seasons.

William Jewell dropped to 1-8-0 overall and 1-6-0 GLVC after falling to the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 3-2, this afternoon in Liberty, Missouri. USI and William Jewell are tied in the all-time series, 4-4-1, after the Cardinals took the match last spring, 3-2, in Liberty. The Eagles hold a 3-2-0 lead over the Cardinals in the last five matches.

The Cardinals are slated to visit the University of Indianapolis Friday before coming to Strassweg Field.

USI gets 1st GLVC win behind DiTusa goals

0

QUINCY, Ill. – University of Southern Indiana sophomore midfielder Jill DiTusa (St. Charles, Illinois) scored a pair of goals in leading the Screaming Eagles to a 3-2 victory at Quincy University Sunday afternoon in Quincy, Illinois. The Eagles, who get their first league win of 2021, go to 3-4-2 overall and 1-4-1 GLVC, while the Hawks are 3-6-0, 2-5-0 GLVC.

The victory also snapped USI’s six-match winless streak.

The Eagles sprinted out to a 2-0 lead early in the first half. DiTusa put USI up 1-0 with a program-record goal 22 seconds into the match, knocking in a cross from senior forward Keely Thompson (Terre Haute, Indiana). The goal was DiTusa’s second of the season.

DiTusa’s goal was scored 47 seconds faster than the record set by Kristy Weber versus Kentucky Wesleyan College in 1996 (1:11).

USI’s second goal came at 15:14 when senior forward Katlyn Andres (Louisville, Kentucky) knocked in the rebound of a looping shot by Thompson. The Eagles’ second goal was Andres’ first of the season.

The Eagles would have to settle for a 2-1 advantage at the break after the Hawks cut the USI advantage in half at the 40:01 mark on a penalty kick.

In the second half, USI would hold onto the one-goal margin until the 74:14 mark when DiTusa posted her second goal of the match and her third of the season for a 3-1 lead. She put away a cross from freshman midfielder Avery Schone (Galena, Ohio).

Quincy would cut the USI margin once again at 82:32, 3-2, but that would be as close as the Hawks would come in the final seven minutes. The Hawks’ goal was their final shot of the match as the Eagles held on for the win.

Between the posts, USI freshman goalkeeper Zoe Lintner (Wildwood, Missouri) posted her first collegiate victory. Lintner faced seven shots and allowed two goals in the win.

UPCOMING FOR THE EAGLES:
USI comes home to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field next weekend when it hosts Rockhurst University Friday at 7:30 p.m. and William Jewell College Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

Rockhurst is 3-4-3 overall, 2-1-3 GLVC, after tying Lindenwood University, 1-1, in double overtime today in Kansas City, Missouri. The Hawks hold a 14-4-2 series lead over the Eagles after splitting two matches last spring. Rockhurst won the regular season meeting in Kansas City, 2-1, while USI took the GLVC Tournament match-up in Evansville, 3-1.

The Eagles also lead the series, 3-2-1, in the last six meetings since 2018.

William Jewell, 0-9-1 overall and 0-7-0 GLVC, continues to look for its first victory of the season after falling to the University of Missouri-St. Louis, 1-0, this afternoon in Liberty, Missouri. USI maintains a 6-4-0 series lead over William Jewell since the Cardinals joined the GLVC in 2011 and has won the last four matchups, including last spring’s 2-0 win in Liberty.

The Cardinals are slated to visit the University of Indianapolis Friday before coming to Strassweg Field.
