USI splits SEMO in the OVC opening weekend with a 3-1 victory

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana Volleyball (6-8, 1-1 OVC) rallied to win three straight sets after dropping the opener against preseason conference favorite Southeast Missouri State University (4-9, 1-1 OVC). USI splits the two-game weekend series in their Ohio Valley Conference opener.
 
The difference from Friday’s loss was the Eagles cleaning up their own mistakes and creating less errors with a season best .291 hitting percentage. USI committed 37 errors on a .122 attacking percentage on Friday compared to their 21 errors and .291 percentage on Saturday. The Eagles also attacked from a variety of different directions with five different Eagles tallying double digit kills.
 
Set 1: SEMO 25, USI 23
The Redhawks came out of the gate strong taking the first five points. Junior Keira Moore helped the Eagles dig out of the hole with two straight aces giving her a team leading 17 on the season. Sophomore Ashby Willis and senior Paris Downing both tallied three kills to stay within four down 18-22. Three kills from graduate senior Jasmine Green and four impressive digs from Moore helped the Eagles mount a late five-point run. However, the early SEMO lead became too much to overcome. Both teams cleaned up their errors from Friday night with only nine combined in set one. The Redhawks hit a set high .342 hitting percentage.
 
Set 2: SEMO 18, USI 25
Senior Carly Sobieralski spread the wealth to five different Eagles as USI led 13-12. Sophomore Leah Coleman took her turn at the end of the set with three huge kills. USI finished SEMO with 5-1 run capped off by a Downing rejection. Sobieralski finished with a massive 17 assists on nearly every Eagle attack. USI committed a set low three errors looking more like themselves.
 
Set 3: SEMO 23, USI 25
USI struggled to start the set with seven errors falling behind 15-6. However, USI charged back on a 16-5 run with the help of three kills from Willis and Coleman each, along with five from junior Bianca Anderson to make it 22-19. Coleman smashed two more kills to give her five on the set as USI finished the Redhawks.
 
Set 4: SEMO 20, USI 25
The Eagles jumped out to an early 8-2 lead as senior Abby Weber and Moore continued to frustrate the Redhawks offense digging attacks. Anderson added five more kills from different angles confusing SEMO as the Sobieralski to Anderson duo was deadly tonight leading 19-14. USI closed the match on five straight points from Coleman and Downing to earn their first Ohio Valley Conference victory of the season. USI smashed a set high .375 hitting percentage.

Anderson led the Eagles offensively again with 15 kills, but four different Eagles trailed right behind her with double digit kills. Sobieralski finished with a monstrous 58 assists nearly breaking her season high of 59. Willis played a big role defensively with 19 digs and Moore and Sobieralski trailed right behind with 16 and 14, respectively. Anderson swatted a team high three blocks, while Moore placed three perfect service aces.

As a team, USI finished with 69 kills, 65 assists, 72 digs, four aces, six blocks, and a .291 attacking percentage. The Redhawks earned 52 kills, 51 assists, 64 digs, four aces, 11 blocks, and a .242 hitting percentage.

 Senior finished with 21 against the Flames

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – There is a new all-time kills leader in University of Evansville volleyball history – Giulia Cardona.  With 21 kills on Saturday against UIC, Cardona now has 1,916 in her career.  She passed Alondra Vazquez’ mark of 1,911.

Cardona’s tally led all players as the Purple Aces dropped a 3-1 contest to UIC.  She also led the team with nine digs while Ainoah Cruz finished with eight.  Lexi Owen finished with 27 assists, seven digs and three aces.  UIC was led by Zahria Woodard’s 13 kills.

Set 1 – UIC 25, UE 16

From the outset, the Flames had the momentum, scoring the first five points of the night and would extend their lead to 11-4.  A kill from Giulia Cardona helped the Aces rally to make it a 19-14 game, but UIC proved to be too much as they took the set and a 1-0 lead.

Set 2 – UE 25, UIC 19

Following a quick 2-0 start by the Flames, Evansville came back to tie it at 4-4 on a Jenna Heidbreder kill.  UIC wrestled away an 10-8 lead before Evansville countered with five in a row to go up 13-10.  Cardona had two more kills while Blakeley Freeman added an ace.

Madisyn Steele and Angelica Gonzalez assisted on a block while Lexi Owen registered an ace to extend the lead to 20-15.  The Flames did their best to rally, but a solo block by Chloe Cline was followed by Cardona’s 13th kill of the night to seal the set and tie the match.

Set 3 – UIC 25, UE 10

Lexi Owen opened the third with an ace, but the Flames quickly assumed control as they reeled off the next eight points.  Following a kill by Gonzalez, UIC continued to add to their lead before cruising to a 25-10 win.

Set 4 – UIC 25, UE 17

Another quick start saw UIC open a 3-0 lead.  Another ace from Freeman highlighted a 3-0 stretch that tied the set.  The Flames answered each time and made their move in the middle stages.  Hanging on to a 13-11 edge, UIC scored the next three before completing the game on a 12-6 margin to win the match.

MVC road play opens next weekend when the Aces travel to Belmont and Murray State.

How to Help Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

0

If you are looking for how you can help people who Hurricane Helene has impacted, here are some suggestions for assisting:

Give Money

It’s the most efficient way to provide help. Charities often get bulk discounts, giving them more buying power for items needed by the people in the area. The funds can be spent locally to support businesses that need help.

Good-hearted people often clean out closets to send used clothing or other physical items. The items are loaded into a rented truck and hauled to a distribution center in the disaster zone, where exhausted, overwhelmed volunteers struggle to keep up with the supplies arriving. In the end, piles of clothing, toys, blankets, and other supplies end up in a landfill.

Who is accepting donations?

American Red Cross: One of the first relief agencies that we think of, the Red Cross offers food, shelter, and supplies to people in disaster areas. Click here to donate.

Samaritan’s Purse: Franklin Graham’s Christ-centered relief organization has relief teams on the ground all along Helene’s path. They provide assistance with cleanup and rebuilding after the storm. Click here to learn more about what they are already doing and how you can donate or volunteer. 

The Salvation Army: Responding quickly to the disaster, the Salvation Army provides food, drinks, shelter, and emotional and spiritual care.  Donate to their efforts here. 

GoFundMe: For people who want to contribute to assisting individuals and families, GoFundMe has a dedicated hub of vetted Helene requests. Check it out here.

This list is not meant to be complete, and we do not recommend any particular relief agency. The need in these areas is great, and there will be a need for assistance for some time to come.

One more tip: do not just show up to try to assist. Volunteer through one of the established agencies to avoid becoming a burden. The established agencies have contacts with locals to determine the community’s needs.
