Bannister, Newman, and Shafford named ONB/USI Student-Athletes of the Year

July 12, 24

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Athletics announced that Men’s Golf junior Jason Bannister (Laguna Niguel, California) has been named the Old National Bank/USI Male Student Athlete of the Year, while Women’s Basketball junior guard Vanessa Shafford (Linton, Indiana) and Softball junior pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) have been named co-ONB/USI Female Student Athlete of the Year honorees.

Bannister had a record-breaking 2023-24 season for the Men’s Golf team. He earned All-Ohio Valley Conference honors and set the single-season school record with his 71.96 strokes-per-round average.

Individually, Bannister tied for fourth at the OVC Championship, one of three top-five finishes and five top-10 finishes on the year. Bannister was named the OVC Golfer of the Month for the second time in his career and helped lead USI to the best team-average in program history (291.62) as well as a fifth-place finish at the OVC Championship.

Shafford helped lead USI Women’s Basketball to a 25-7 overall record and a 17-1 mark in OVC play in 2023-24. She earned first-team All-OVC honors and helped lead the Screaming Eagles to both the OVC regular-season and OVC Tournament titles. USI also hosted a pair of WNIT games, defeating the University of Illinois Chicago in the opening round before nearly upending the University of Wisconsin in the second round.

Statistically, Shafford led USI in several categories, including points (13.6), rebounds (7.7) and minutes per game (30.0). She also had a team-best 46 steals and was named the co-OVC Player of the Week in January.

Newman earned third-team NFCA All-Midwest Region honors after being named the OVC Pitcher of the Year and first-team All-OVC during the 2024 softball season. She went 22-10 in the circle with a 1.77 ERA and set new career marks for wins, innings pitched (230), strikeouts (230) and complete games (30).

In 2024, Newman led the OVC in wins, innings and strikeouts and ranked in the top three of the OVC in ERA. She was twice named the OVC Pitcher of the Week and was named to the OVC All-Tournament team after picking up three wins and leading the Eagles to a third-place finish in the OVC Tournament.

Previous winners of the ONB/USI Male Student Athlete of the Year award were Duncan Bray (2003, 2004; soccer), Matt Keener (2005; baseball), Chris Thompson (2006; basketball), Melvin Hall (2007; basketball), Paul Jellema (2008; cross country/track), Shaun Larsen (2009; baseball), Jamar Smith (2010; basketball), Trevor Leach (2011; baseball), Dustin Emerick (2012; cross country & track), Michael Jordan (2013; cross country & track), Johnnie Guy (2014, 2016; cross country & track), Tyler Pence (2015, cross country & track), Jeril Taylor (2017, basketball), Alex Stein (2018, 2019; basketball), Josh Price (2021; basketball), Titus Winders (2022; cross country/track & field) and Noah Hufnagel (2023; cross country/track & field).

UE women’s basketball hires Zhaque Gray as Assistant Coach
Gray joins the Purple Aces after a year with Bowling Green
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s basketball team and Head Coach Robyn Scherr-Wells have announced Zhaque Gray will be joining the program as an Assistant Coach.
The Purple Aces add another Assistant Coach with championship experience with the hiring of Zhaque (zhah-QWAY) Gray. Gray comes to Evansville after spending a year as the Director of Player Personnel with Bowling Green following a transition to coaching from a corporate sales career. Gray initially began her collegiate basketball journey at Penn State as a guard from 2008-2012.
 I am so excited to add Zhaque to our staff!” says Head Coach Robyn Scherr-Wells. “Her character and her outlook on life and basketball immediately stood out to me through our interview process. Additionally, I love that she was part of building a championship team as a player at Penn State as well as working under a championship-winning coach last season at Bowling Green State. Her experiences will be invaluable for our program as we seek to build our program and win championships,”.
During her year with the Falcons, Gray was part of a staff that guided BGSU to a winning record and a postseason tournament berth despite dealing with a short bench throughout the year. The Falcons were picked to finish fourth in the Mid-American Conference in 2023-24 and finished the year tied for fourth despite losing an estimated 126 player-games to injury. BGSU also advanced to the postseason with Gray on staff, appearing in the first round of the WNIT.
Prior to her time at Bowling Green, Gray was a graduate assistant at Saint Francis University for the 2022-23 season.
Gray began her collegiate basketball career on the floor as a guard for Penn State from 2008-2012. With the Lady Lions, Gray was a 2012 All-Big Ten Honorable Mention selection and finished her career seventh in program history in three-point field goals made with 149. During her four years in University Park, Gray ranked in the Top 20 in career three-point field goals made and free throw percentage at 78.2%.
Gray played all four years at Penn State, including the Lady Lions 2011-12 Big Ten title season. Gray started in all 33 games that season and was third on the team in points per game with an average of 10.6 points. Gray also hit 48 three-pointers in her final season at Penn State, helping the Lady Lions make a run to the NCAA Tournament Round of 16.
After her time with Penn State, Gray played a season of professional basketball in Wasserburg, Germany, where she helped her team to a league championship. The following year in 2014, Gray made the training camp roster of the WNBA’s Chicago Sky. She was among more than 40 players who attended a Sky open tryout session and became the first open-tryout participant in franchise history to earn an invite to training camp.
Gray is a native of Chicago and is a graduate of John Hope College Preparatory H.S. With the Lady Eagles Gray participated in three Chicago Public League championships and was the only unanimous selection to the 3A All-State First Team in her senior season of 2007-08.
