Givance leads Aces in finale at Drake
Aces set to return home to face Missouri State
Shamar Givance scored 17 points while Evan Kuhlman finished with 16 as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team fell to Drake by a 74-63 final on Monday night at the Knapp Center.
Givance hit six shots and finished with three assists while Kuhlman was 6-of-9 from the field while hitting four triples. Jawaun Newton scored 14 while Samari Curtis had 13. Drake was led by a 36-point outing from Joseph Yesufu.
Shamar Givance got the Aces on the board first, knocking down a triple on the first possession. UE would take a 5-2 edge before the Bulldogs took their first advantage at 7-5 when Garrett Sturtz hit a layup at the 16:34 mark. Evan Kuhlman, who had 13 points in the first half, put his team back in front on a triple two minutes later before Drake reeled off five in a row to hold a 14-10 lead with 13:05 remaining.
With seven minutes left in the opening frame, Drake held its largest lead at 24-19. That is when Evansville fought back thanks to its effectiveness from outside, coupled with solid defense. UE outscored Drake by a 16-7 tally to go to the break with a 35-31 lead. Consecutive triples by Samari Curtis capped off an 8-0 run at the Aces would hold the lead for the final 4:06 of the half.
Kuhlman hit three triples in the half with UE hitting seven as a team. Joseph Yesufu paced the Bulldogs with 18 first-half points following his 32-point effort on Sunday.
Out of the break, the Bulldogs chipped away at the UE lead, tying it up at 38-38 before going ahead by a 41-39 tally over the first three minutes. As the second half reached the midway point, the Bulldogs extended the lead to nine points at 54-45. They continued to apply the pressure as the Aces hit a shooting drought that saw them convert one out of 11 attempts while Drake went up by double figures. A 6-0 run by the Bulldogs was halted by a pair of Shamar Givance free throws that got UE back within 11 at 59-48 inside of the 5-minute mark.
The momentum for UE was short-lived with Drake bouncing back to lead by as many as 15 – 65-50 – inside of the final three minutes. Evansville was able to force two late turnovers and get back within 10 in the last minute but the deficit was too large to overcome with the Bulldogs finishing the night with a 74-63 win.
Later this week, the Aces wrap up the regular season at the Ford Center with games against Missouri State. UE welcomes the Bears on Friday and Saturday with each game beginning at 6 p.m.
Aces Volleyball Battled but Falls to Bradley
Battling throughout, the University of Evansville volleyball team could not fight off the hot streaks from Bradley, on Monday at Meeks Family Fieldhouse, falling 3-0.
GAME 1
Back-to-back kills by Chloe Bontrager set the Aces up with a 4-1 lead. The early barrage of kills saw Melanie Feliciano, Elise Moeller and Alondra Vazquez add one of their own to push the UE lead to 10-3. Feliciano added two more in a run that gave the Aces their largest advantage at 18-9. Bradley never gave up and started to fight back. They cut the lead to five (21-16) but Evansville looked to be in good shape, taking a 24-18 advantage. Unfortunately, the Braves had other ideas. A 6-0 stretch tied it up before they completed their rally with a 27-25 decision.
GAME 2
Bradley broke a 6-6 tie with a 4-0 stretch. Evansville clawed its way back, cutting the deficit to 15-14 on another kill from Feliciano. A BU error tied the game back up at 18-18, but the Braves regrouped in a big way, scoring the next six points before taking a 2-0 lead with a 25-19 win.
GAME 3
In the third set, Bradley jumped out to a 10-1 lead. The Aces fought back to within seven before Bradley broke free finishing the set 25-14.
Evansville will next travel to Springfield, Mo., to take on Missouri State, February 28 and March 1

Rohleder recorded a 78 in the first round before shooting her low tally of 77 in round two. Her 6-over 78 in the final round saw her defeat Alabama State’s Alma Garcia by two strokes. Her 233 was 17 over par. Her efforts helped the Purple Aces come home in second place, six strokes behind Western Illinois. The Leathernecks finished the three rounds with a 965 while the Aces posted a 971.
“I am thankful to have gotten to play after a long break. Playing in a group with the team was different than what we’re used to, but it was a good change due to COVID,†Rohleder exclaimed after the victory. “I’m excited to see what the rest of the season holds and can’t wait for our next tournament.â€
In his first season leading the UE golf programs, head coach John Andrews was excited to get the season started.
“I am very pleased that our ladies had a chance to compete. This event should give them areas in their games to focus and practice. The team is very competitive and focused,†Andrews said. “I am very happy for Sophia. Winning any collegiate golf tournament is a great accomplishment, especially when we have not had a chance to have any practices outside. I look forward to seeing what our ladies can do in early March in Jacksonville Beach.â€
Finishing third in the event was Alyssa McMinn. Her low round of the event saw her card a 77 in the second round before her 80 clinched third place. Tying for 7th was Mallory Russell. The freshman rebounded from an opening-round tally of an 85 to record rounds of 79 and 81 on Monday. Her final total was a 245.
Next up for UE was Caitlin O’Donnell, who tied for 14th with a 257. Her low round was an 82 in the final trip around the course on Monday. Allison Enchelmayer placed 17th with a 266, which included a low round 86. Carly Frazier and Taylor Keating played as individuals with Frazier placing 18th with a 267 and Keating coming home 23rd with a tally of 288.
