Last Time Out: Evansville 11, Western Illinois 10 (10 inn.)

  • EVANSVILLE – Quickly becoming a theme for the Aces, the University of Evansville baseball team battled back to walk-off with an 11-10 win in 10 innings over Western Illinois in the series finale on Sunday afternoon at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville.
  • The win helped secure the second series win of the season for the Aces and moved UE back to .500 at 6-6 on the year.
  • “I’m so proud of our club and our team. In year’s past, our last nine outs of the game, we would’ve just walked through and accepted a split with Western Illinois,” said Aces head baseball coach Wes Carroll. “I was really proud of our club stepping-up from an offensive standpoint and showing a lot of fight.”
  • The Leathernecks got off to a quick start as three of the first batters in the top of the first inning reached base, but Western Illinois was limited to just one run in the inning. In the second frame, WIU added two more runs to open up a 3-0 lead on the Aces.
  • Evansville answered in the bottom of the second as the scoring got started for the Aces when senior Craig Shepherd scored in the midst of a double play.
  • The Aces trimmed their deficit further in the third with freshman Mark Shallenberger scoring on a groundout by junior Mason Brinkley to make it a 3-2 WIU lead.
  • The fifth inning appeared to be the finishing touches from Western Illinois as the Leathernecks pushed across five runs to increase their lead to 8-2.
  • What has been true for the Aces all season is that no lead is safe with Evansville’s offense. After watching WIU put a five spot up in the top half of the inning, the Aces put up their own five spot in the bottom half.
  • Senior Kenton Crews got the scoring started with a base hit through the left side that sent Brinkley and freshman Simon Scherry home.
  • Redshirt senior Troy Beilsmith added a pair of runs for Evansville later in the half inning with a single to left that scored Crews and senior Ben Komonosky.
  • The final run of the inning came off the bat of Shallenberger, who roped a single through the left side, pushing Beilsmith home to cut the Western Illinois lead to just one at 8-7.
  • After some early pitching struggles by the Aces staff, sophomore Michael Parks came in and steadied the team.
  • After a wild fifth inning, Parks struck-out the side in the sixth and came back in the seventh to sit the Leathernecks down in order.
  • “Michael Parks gave us a chance,” said Carroll on the reliever. “He came in there and really threw up some goose eggs when we needed it and gave our offense a chance to scrap by and get some important quality at-bats.”
  • In the eighth inning, the Leathernecks looked to have done it again, pushing the game out of reach with two runs, increasing their lead to 10-7. Down to their final few outs, Evansville delivered the runs it needed.
  • Sophomore Danny Borgstrom opened the inning with a triple and scored the inning’s opening run on a wild pitch. After Beilsmith walked and Shallenberger was hit by a pitch, it was again Scherry who stepped up.
  • The freshman ripped a basehit to right center scoring both Borgstrom and Shallenberger, tying the game at 10 and sending the contest into extra innings.
  • Freshman pitcher Jakob Meyer escaped a difficult situation in the 10th with the international tiebreaker placing a Leatherneck runner at second to start the inning.
  • A sacrifice bunt moved to go-ahead run to third with just one out, but Meyer slammed the door with back-to-back swinging strikeouts.
  • With senior Craig Shepherd opening the inning at second, Evansville got to work quickly. Junior Mason Brinkley led off the inning with a walk before Komonosky struck out.
  • Junior Evan Kahre followed-up with another walk, loading the base with just one out. Looking to follow up his walk-off win 24 hours prior, Borgstrom did just that. The Morris, Ill. native popped a fly ball into left field and as the Leatherneck left fielder and center fielder each tracked the ball a miscommunication led to the ball falling safely to the turf. Shepherd, prepared to take off, sprinted home, reaching safely and earning the 11-10 extra-innings win for the Aces.
  • “Danny Borgstrom’s been on fire all weekend and locked-in at the plate,” remarked Carroll on the sophomore’s weekend at the dish.
  • The walk-off win was Evansville’s second in as many days and the third of the season for the Aces.

Previewing the Matchup: No. 25 SIU

  • Evansville and Southern Illinois are meeting 174th time when the two sides meet on Friday with the Salukis owning a 109-64 advantage in the all-time series.
  • The Salukis swept a three-game series from the Aces the last time the two programs met on May 3 and 4, 2019.
  • SIU enters the weekend on a 16-game win streak, including amassing an 11-0 record this season.
  • Evansville has won back-to-back series entering this weekend for the first time since taking two games each from Bradley and DBU during March 2019.

Infield Duo on Hit Streaks

  • The duo of Simon Scherry and Tanner Craig have been stellar for the Aces both offensively and defensively.
  • Offensively, both Scherry and Craig enter Sunday with team-high eight-game hitting streak.
  • On the defensive side, the two are each fielding over .975 on the season with a combined 102 putouts.

Evansville in MVC Openers

  • Evansville has had recent success in its MVC opening series.
  • Since 2014, the Aces are 3-3 in MVC opening series, including a three-game series sweep of Bradley during the 2019 season, the last season in which MVC play was started.

Eight Women Who Impacted The History Of Indiana

Eight Women Who Impacted The History Of Indiana

March 11, 2021

INDIANAPOLIS—The Indiana General Assembly has 150 legislators for the current session, but only 38 are women. However, women work hard to create bills that will impact all Hoosiers in the state.

Rep. Maureen Bauer, D-South Bend, knows she’s part of a minority group at the Statehouse, but she hopes that will change as more opportunities become available for women.

“With that imbalance of representation, you kind of begin to understand why some policies haven’t been passed this year or in previous years. One in particular that I tried to introduce was the pregnancy accommodations at the workplace, which has been brought to the forefront of debate about three times now, and we still haven’t quite gotten there,” Bauer said.

“That’s just something as simple as asking for a safe working environment and to ensure that a woman isn’t either pushed out of her job or continues to work in an unsafe environment simply because she’s carrying a baby for hopefully nine months out of her long career.”

2020 marked the centennial anniversary of the women’s suffrage movement, but due to COVID-19, some celebrations were postponed until 2021. Therefore, this year’s theme for Women’s History Month is “Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced.”

“I feel like, as a woman, we have an important role to play in representing and speaking for Hoosiers all across the state of Indiana, and it is just an honor to be there, even though we’re in the minority in the Statehouse,” Rep. Joanna King, R-Middlebury, said.

In time for Women’s History Month, learn about these eight women who impacted the history of Indiana:

Amanda Way—Teacher

According to USA Today, Amanda Way was a 23-year-old teacher from Dublin, Indiana, in 1851 when she organized one of the first statewide campaigns for women’s right to vote. Way was known for her advocacy for women’s rights throughout the state and was one of the founders of the Indiana Women’s Rights Association.

Marie Stuart Edwards— Social Reformer

Suffragist Marie Edwards, from Peru, helped create the National League of Women Voters. According to the Indiana State Library, Edwards wanted to create social change, so she took part in women’s clubs, movements, organizations and more. Edwards was president of the Women’s Franchise League of Indiana from 1917 to 1919, which tied to the larger organization of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. While working with NAWSA for the passage of the 19th Amendment, she created the League of Women Voters, which helped women in Indiana understand their rights and how to exercise them.

Helen Gougar—Lawyer

According to the Indiana Historical Bureau, Helen Gougar was a women’s suffrage advocate in Lafayette in 1860. She used her education as a lawyer, writer and lecturer to challenge the injustices of the legal system. Gougar even argued in front of the Indiana General Assembly and U.S. Senate back in the 1880s and the Indiana Supreme Court in 1897.

Albion Fellows Bacon—Housing Reformer

From Evansville, Albion Bacon conducted campaigns to improve public housing in Indiana. She created organizations to collect donations to help those of lower socioeconomic status and worked to end unsafe and unsanitary housing throughout the state. She also served as part of the Indiana Child Welfare Association, helping to create the juvenile probation system and to pass laws that stopped child labor and pushed school attendance.

Sallie Wyatt Stewart—Black Rights Activist

A teacher from Evansville, Sallie Stewart witnessed race riots in her community that left 12 people dead. Stewart created the Evansville Federation of Colored Women’s Club, alongside the first day center for Black children of working mothers and recreation areas for Black women. She went on to become president of the Indiana Federation of Colored Women, where she advocated to improve the living standards of the Black community.

Madam C.J. Walker—Black Businesswoman

Born to enslaved parents in Louisiana, Sarah Breedlove faced a lot of difficulties growing up. She became an orphan as a 7-year-old, then later a young widow. She took day jobs to sustain her daughter and herself while also attending night school. It was during this time she began to experience hair loss like many other women in the Black community and took it upon herself to experiment with the best way to recover, eventually beginning a business, changing her name to Madam C.J. Walker, moving to Indianapolis in 1910 and opening a beauty school.

As Walker continued to groom her business, she supported and donated to African-American organizations throughout Indianapolis. After her death, the sales of her beauty products continued nationwide.

May Wright Sewall—Suffragist 

May Sewall was considered a leader of the women’s suffrage movement. Originally from Wisconsin, she was a graduate of what would become Northwestern University, where she studied science. Sewall was a strong ally for suffrage leaders such as Susan Anthony. Her work involved the founding of more than 50 women’s rights organizations, one of them the Indianapolis Women’s Club and Equal Suffrage Society. Sewall also organized and led Indiana suffrage groups in Washington, D.C. Her work continued as she wrote pieces about women in higher education and the importance of the suffrage movement in Indiana. She died a month before the 19th Amendment, granting women’s rights, was ratified.

Loretta Rush—Supreme Court Justice

Loretta Hogan Rush took office in Indiana’s 108th Supreme Court of Justice in 2012. She was the first female chief justice in the history of the Indiana Supreme Court. She belongs to various boards and associations, including the Commission on Improving the Status of Children as well as the Indiana Conference for Legal Education Opportunity. The IOCS helps minorities, low-income and disadvantaged Hoosiers to be able to pursue a law degree in the state. Rush is also known for representing Indiana at the National Judicial Leadership Summit on the Protection of Children.

Rohleder earns second MVC weekly honor

0

After winning her second tournament championship of the season, University of Evansville golfer Sophia Rohleder has added the second Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week accolade to her list of accomplishments.

The Evansville native opened this spring with a medalist at the ASU Spring Classic and followed that up with another victory on Tuesday at the Don Benbnow Invitational in Jacksonville Beach, Fla.  Rohleder paced the competition for the majority of the event, fending off a challenge by Olivia Loberg of Eastern Michigan to win by one stroke.  On Monday, Rohleder saw atop the leaderboard with a 75 and followed that up with a 5-over 76 on Tuesday.  Her final score of a 151 was one in front of Loberg’s 152.

 

Rohlder finished the event in style, draining a 10-foot putt to clinch the victory.  Up next for Rohleder and the UE women is the Pinehurst Women’s Intercollegiate on March 29-30.

 

BREAKING NEWS: University of Evansville Announces Institutional Realignment Plan

 University of Evansville Announces Institutional Realignment Plan For Academic, Athletic, and administrative adjustments address deficit and position University for growth 

EVANSVILLE, IN (03/11/2021) The University of Evansville (UE) today announced an institutional realignment plan that includes changes to academics, athletics and administration. The plan addresses the unsustainable structural deficit for the University and positions it for strategic growth as a 21st Century institution grounded in liberal arts and sciences. 

The plan, which results from three months of discussion with faculty, students, and other stakeholders, results in fewer faculty and program cutbacks than originally announced. It also ensures that UE will continue to offer 75+ majors, provide strong financial and educational support to students, and remain a part of Division I athletics. All current students will be able to graduate with their selected majors. 

“After dozens of meetings with faculty, students, parents, and alumni, I am pleased to announce that this plan meets our financial goals with far fewer reductions,” said University President Christopher M. Pietruszkiewicz. “The plan puts us on very solid financial footing and will allow us to strategically invest in our students, faculty, staff, and programs going forward.” 

Key academic changes include: 

• The Schroeder Family School of Business Administration and the College of Engineering and Computer Science will merge into the College of Business & Engineering, allowing for synergies in cross-disciplinary programming, experiential education, and engagement with employers. 

• The Department of Music will transition into the UE Music Conservatory, allowing UE to retain all five music degrees (Music Education, Music Therapy, Music Management, Music Performance, and the BA in Music), increase revenue through enhanced and new partnerships, and expand its reach through innovative community offerings. 

• Several majors will be retained as a direct result of adopted faculty proposals that created novel, cost-effective, and sustainable solutions for the future. Majors being retained include: 

o Cognitive Science 

o Computer Science 

o Ethics and Social Change 

o History 

o Physics 

o Political Science 

o Spanish 

• Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Software Engineering will pause admissions of new freshmen for one year as potential options for redesigning these majors are evaluated. The hiring of qualified visiting professors will ensure all current students in these programs will be able to continue their studies through graduation without any anticipated changes to the University’s status with the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) during this time. 

• Art History, Philosophy, and Religion will no longer be offered as majors to incoming students. All current students in these majors will be able to continue through graduation in their chosen disciplines. Religion will remain as a minor. 

As part of the realignment, 19 tenured faculty members elected to participate in the voluntary separation program that includes severance of 12 months’ pay and a one-time $10,000 payment to assist with healthcare costs. These faculty members will teach through the end of the current academic year. Five additional faculty will move into redesigned positions at UE, and three faculty will enter into a phased retirement period. Beyond this, no other faculty positions will be eliminated. This is significantly fewer reductions than the 38 faculty positions originally announced in the draft academic realignment plan and will provide greater savings. 

More than 12 faculty proposals have been incorporated into the plan, including: 

• The creation of the UE Music Conservatory that preserves all music majors and will reach more broadly into the community to teach and introduce young people to our outstanding faculty. 

• The engagement of a faculty member to serve as a faculty recruiting coordinator. This coordinator will lead an Academic Recruitment Team consisting of faculty members who will all receive course releases to serve on this team. 

• A proposal from Biology will work to establish a Master of Science in Genetics and Disease along with a new dual BS/MS option for Biology and related majors.

Key athletic changes include: 

• The elimination of nearly $1.1 million in future expenses through changes to UE’s athletic scholarship program in golf, swimming, and track and field. No current student-athlete scholarships will be affected by these changes. 

• An annual savings of more than $300,000 through an updated room and board policy for athletic scholarship recipients. 

These changes to UE Athletics will make it a near break-even program as our student-athletes continue to compete at the NCAA Division I level. 

The key administrative changes include: 

• The elimination of a total of 12 administrative positions in the Department of Academic Affairs, Department of Fiscal Affairs and Administration, and Department of Student Affairs. 

• Phase-out of Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) plan. Current full-time employees age 40 and over will continue to receive annual discretionary contributions. Eligibility will cease for current employees under the age of 40 and all future hires. 

Members of the University of Evansville Board of Trustees have been fully briefed on the institutional realignment plan. The Executive Committee has recommended approval to the full Board of Trustees, which will meet Friday, March 12, 2021. 

“Higher education is constantly evolving, and the University of Evansville is being innovative and adapting to meet the needs of future students and remain financially strong,’’ said Linda White, chair of UE’s Board of Trustees. “The UE Administration has done an admirable job of managing what we knew would be a challenging process. We are grateful to the entire UE community for their input, their patience, and their support through this time. Our students, faculty, and staff are personally thanked for creating the future University of Evansville.”
