How They Got Here: Read about how all the Screaming Eagles qualified for this year’s indoor championships and how a couple received a few extra accolades HERE.

 

Day 2, Friday March 12

Men’s 5000m: Senior Austin Nolan will go off first in the 5000 meters and the race is scheduled for 3:05 p.m. Nolan comes in with a seed time that puts him 10th in the 16-man field, but if he can at least move up two spots, he will achieve All-American status. Nolan is accompanied by Blake Jones from the University of Illinois Springfield, the two make up all the representation for the Great Lakes Valley Conference.

Women’s 5000m: Later, Senior Jennifer Comastri is scheduled to compete in the 5000m final which will go off at 8:05 p.m. Comastri is one of three GLVC runners (Claire McCune – Drury & Lauren Bailey – Indianapolis) listed in the 14-person field.

Women’s DMR: The night will be capped of by the latest entry for the Eagles which is the distance medley relay team comprised of Freshman Allison Morphew, sophomore Kaylee Lane, sophomore Emma Brown and sophomore Mckenna Cavanaugh. The gun will go off at 8:45 p.m. as USI is one of two GLVC squads to qualify along with the team from Southwest Baptist in the 10-team field.

Day 3, Saturday, March 13

Women’s 3000m: Last, after running the 1600m-leg in the DMR Friday night, Cavanuagh will come back and tackle the 3000m which is penciled down for a 7:00 p.m. start. The 14-runner field has only Cavanaugh and Bailey again from Indianapolis to represent the GLVC.

Eagles rank 16th nationally following 1-1 weekend at Missouri S&T

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball returns to Screaming Eagles Arena to host another GLVC triangular following back-to-back weekends in Missouri, going 3-1 overall while playing away from home. Following the 1-1 effort in Rolla, the Eagles dropped four places to 16th from the program-high of 12th nationally.

The Screaming Eagles sit 8-2 and earned the national ranking of 16 in the latest AVCA poll. USI recorded only its second loss on the season to then-seventh ranked UMSL on March 6. The poll features four GLVC teams with Lewis taking the top spot nationally and three teams dropping from the last AVCA rankings (3/3/21).

USI is set to take on Southwest Baptist (2-5) and Truman State (7-4), hosting its second GLVC triangular of the season. The Eagles will play Southwest Baptist to begin the day at 10 A.M. and then take on Truman State at 6 P.M. to close out the weekend. SBU is coming to Evansville off of a 1-1 weekend at Maryville, dropping its first match to McKendree and beating host Maryville. Truman State makes the trip with a four-match win streak, beating ranked opponents in Drury (then-No. 16) and Indianapolis (then-No. 25). The Eagles will look to get back on track after dropping only their second match of the season against then-No.7 UMSL.

During the Eagles’ eight-match win streak, USI won five matches in sweeping fashion, beating division rivals Indianapolis, McKendree, and Illinois Springfield as well as conference-foes then-No.6 Rockhurst and Lindenwood. Over this five-match,15-set streak, Southern Indiana hit .264 as a team with 14.93 kills per set and 2.00 service aces per set. Comparatively holding its opponents to a hitting percentage of .153 and only 10.47 kills per set. Over the entire eight-match streak, the storyline was the same with the USI offense bombarding opposing defenses with more than 13.50 kills per set and .223 hitting percentage while also making moves early on with nearly 2.00 service aces per set.

NOTES:
Senior Casey Cepicky moved into fifth all-time at USI in career assists with 2,592, passing Melanie Pund (2007-09), who owned 2,521. Cepicky now sets her sight on fourth in USI history which is currently held by Carly Messman (1997-99) with 2,669 career assists.

Leah Anderson showed out early in the season, posting monster numbers and earning a GLVC Offensive POTW and USI’s first AVCA National POTW award since 2011.

The Eagles’ offense is an across-the-board effort with six players averaging more than one kill per set and five averaging 2.00-plus points per set. Defensively, the Screaming Eagles boast five players averaging 2.00-plus digs per set.

GLVC statistical rankings include Screaming Eagles in the top-10 in multiple categories, including Leah Anderson (service aces – 2nd, points – 4th, kills – 5th), Casey Cepicky (assists – 5th, service aces – 7th), Sidney Hegg (hitting percentage – 4th), Taylor Littken (hitting percentage – 6th), and Abby Weber (service aces – 10th).

The Screaming Eagles have performed extremely well in this unconventional season, earning a program high in national ranking at 12th nationally (AVCA 3/3/21 poll). USI Volleyball earned its first ever national ranking in the February 10 AVCA poll, coming in at No. 18.

Wood named Newcomer of the Week

 

In one of the most impressive series in program history, University of Evansville freshman Marah Wood helped the Purple Aces to a 5-1 mark over the course of six games last week and was recognized with her second-consecutive Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week award.

 

Wood batted an unreal .900 in UE’s home-opening series against Purdue Fort Wayne.  She was 9-for-10 with three home runs, 11 RBI, 5 walks, 7 runs scored and a .933 on-base percentage versus the Mastodons. Evansville opened the week with a doubleheader sweep at Bellarmine where Wood drew two walks.

 

When the Aces headed home to Cooper Stadium, Wood made an immediate impact.  In the 4-game series against the Mastodons, Wood reached base in each of her first 11 plate appearances through three games and did so in 14 out of 15 trips to the plate over the entirety of the series. The opener Saw her go a perfect 4-4 with two RBI and two runs scored.  Saturday’s second contest saw her record the first grand slam of her career, going 2-2 with six RBI, two walks and two runs.  Sunday’s opener saw her add another perfect day, belting two home runs to go along with three RBI and two walks.

 

The fourth contest of the weekend began with a groundout, but she rebounded to go 1-2 with another run scored while adding two more walks.  For the week, Wood batted .563 with nine hits, seven runs scored and seven walks, leading to an on-base percentage of .696.  Wood recorded three home runs and 11 RBI while slugging 1.188.

An Extension For The Safe Haven Baby Law Would Allow Parents To Call 9-1-1 To Surrender A Newborn

An Extension For The Safe Haven Baby Law Would Allow Parents To Call 9-1-1 To Surrender A Newborn

INDIANAPOLIS—The Senate Family and Children Services Committee unanimously approved the Safe Haven extension bill on Monday.

House Bill 1230 passed by a 9-0 vote.

The current Safe Haven law allows parents to anonymously give up newborn babies who are 30 days old or younger to a member of emergency medical staff. Currently, only hospitals and fire departments are the designated areas to surrender a newborn. The law dictates there are no questions asked of those who leave the baby.

HB 1230, authored by Rep. Ryan Lauer, R-Columbus, would extend the Safe Haven program by also allowing parents to call emergency services to retrieve the baby in case the guardian cannot take the baby to a Safe Haven location.

Several individuals testified in support, ranging from the Indiana Public Defender Council to the Fire Department Association and the pro-life organization Right to Life.

“We believe this will become a valuable tool for struggling parents who lack the means to transport a child to a Safe Haven or one of these newborn safety devices,” said Christopher Bandy of the Indiana Public Defender Council. “This is a common-sense solution to a monumental issue in this state that will hopefully save children’s lives and provide them with a loving family and home.”

Additionally, HB 1032, authored by Rep. Randall Frye, R-Greensburg, would extend the locations to drop off a baby to areas that have medical staff on standby. This is in response to rural areas that would otherwise not qualify due to a lack of hospitals nearby.

“If we’re truly pro-life, we have to give mothers and crisis pregnancy an option. This is that option, or we can find children on the sidewalk or in dumpsters,” Frye said.

Of the 60 newborn safety devices or “baby boxes” nationwide, 53 are in Indiana; they’re all located in hospitals and fire departments.

Joseph Kelsey, mayor of Woodburn in northeastern Indiana and co-founder of Safe Haven Baby Boxes, a non-profit organization that installs baby boxes for safe abandonment, testified in support of HB 1032. The boxes are an option for parents to anonymously give up their newborn in a safe way, he said, as an alarm is triggered alerting medical services to attend to the baby.

“I do support this bill as we believe that every mother in distress, even in our rural areas, should have the ability to use a baby box if she so chooses,” Kelsey said. “It has always been our mission to prevent deadly abandonment across our state and across the country.”

According to the National Safe Haven Alliance, more than 4,000 babies were surrendered nationwide under Safe Haven laws between 1999 and 2018. Similarly, according to the Chicago Tribune, reports say that 48 babies have been given up in Indiana since 2008.

HB 1032 will undergo further review before the Family and Children’s Services Committee votes on it. The committee will reconvene to vote and amend the bill with a tentative date of March 22.

USI Announces Plans For In-Person Instruction For Fall 2021

USI Announces Plans For In-Person Instruction For Fall 2021

The University of Southern Indiana has announced plans to move to in-person instruction for the Fall 2021 Semester and migrate toward more normal operations.

“We are excited about the prospect of being together again as a community,” said Ronald S. Rochon, USI President. “Since this pandemic began last March, we have taken unprecedented measures to ensure the safety of our students, faculty, staff and visitors. Now it’s time to consider the return to our beautiful campus while maintaining the vigilance and safety measures that guided us through this pandemic to date.”

Led by a task force of 130 individuals, the University found ways to adapt over the past 12 months, moving from remote instruction to a hybrid model and continuing to pivot and adapt to keep pace with national, state and local guidance—always with an emphasis on safety. The task force continues to meet regularly to discuss policies and protocols to benefit the entire USI family.

USI students and faculty in masks in the LA lobby

This spring, COVID-19 cases, both at USI and in the community, continue to fall. Vaccines have become more readily available to portions of the population, and prospects for a much broader roll out to all age groups are high. As vaccine eligibility expands, the University strongly encourages students, faculty and staff be vaccinated as soon as they are eligible.

“The more people who are vaccinated, the greater our chance of returning to a more normal semester this fall. Vaccinations will be key to our ability to return to in-person classes, events, campus housing and community involvement. Because we want to return to a sense of normalcy, we all must play our part,” said Rochon. “As we have seen, nothing with this pandemic is a certainty. We must remain vigilant and flexible as we move toward the Fall Semester.”

The safety and well-being of the entire campus community will continue to be the highest priority for the University, following guidance from local, state, and national officials. Masks, social distancing and other safety measures will continue on our campus until further notice.

“Because of the ongoing dedication of our entire USI community, I am confident we can successfully return to more normalcy this fall,” said Rochon.
