Eagles Return To Softball Diamond Friday

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball returns to the field Friday at 9:15 a.m. (CST) when it takes on Fairmont State University in its first game at The Spring Games in Winter Haven, Florida. The No. 24 Screaming Eagles are scheduled to play eight games throughout five days, including a Midwest Region bout with Cedarville University Friday at 11:30 a.m.

USI’s trip will be highlighted with a Top 25 bout with No. 12 Saint Anselm College Saturday at 8:15 a.m. The Eagles swept the Hawks in the NCAA II Softball Championship Series to win the 2018 national championship, while Saint Anselm defeated USI at The Spring Games last year.

In addition to Cedarville, the Eagles will face Midwest Region foes Northwood University and Hillsdale College as well as a Winona State University that is receiving votes outside the Top 25.

The Eagles’ game against Northwood, which is Sunday at 9:15 a.m. (CDT), is a rematch of USI’s 2-0 win over the Timberwolves at the Midwest Region Crossover two weeks ago. Hillsdale, who the Eagles play Tuesday at 11:30 a.m., has won two straight Great Midwest Athletic Conference titles.

USI also takes on Le Moyne College Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Indiana University of Pennsylvania Sunday at 11:30 a.m. First-pitch for the USI-Winona State game is Tuesday at 2:45 p.m.

The Eagles’ games on Friday and Tuesday will be played at the Diamond Plex Softball Complex in Winter Haven, Florida, while their games on Saturday and Sunday will be played at the Auburndale Softball Complex in Jan Phyl Village, Florida.

Live statistical updates will be available at GoUSIEagles.com, while live video via FloSoftball can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

USI Softball Notes
• Eagles heading to Florida for Spring Games. USI Softball heads to Florida to take part in The Spring Games March 6-10. The Eagles will play two games in Winter Haven, Florida, Friday before playing four games in Jan Phyl Village, Florida, Saturday and Sunday. They close out the trip with two games in Winter Haven March 10.

• USI goes 5-1 at Crossover. The Eagles went 5-1 at the Midwest Region Crossover in Westfield, Indiana, two weeks ago. Senior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt paced the Eagles at the plate and in the circle. Leonhardt hit .429 with a triple and five RBI, while going 3-0 with a save in the circle.

• Leonhardt named GLVC Pitcher of the Week. Leonhardt garnered her eighth career GLVC Pitcher of the Week honor for her effort at the Midwest Region Crossover. In addition to her 3-0 record and her save, Leonhardt posted a 1.29 ERA, 26 strikeouts and a .149 opponent batting average in 21 2/3 innings of work. She also picked up her school-record 35th complete-game shutout of the year in USI’s 2-0 win over Northwood.

• Brown earns win. Sophomore pitcher Elissa Brown earned her first win of the year in USI’s 10-8 win over Ohio Dominican. She allowed just two runs, one earned, in 4 2/3 innings of work.

• Goodin continues strong offensive start. Freshman pitcher/infielder Allie Goodin continued her strong play at the plate at the Midwest Region Crossover. Goodin hit .421 with three doubles and six RBI. On the year, Goodin leads the Eagles with a .452 batting average to go along with four doubles and seven RBI.

• Martinez finding nitch as No. 2 hole hitter. Freshman second baseman Rachel Martinez found her comfort zone as the Eagles’ No. 2 hole hitter at the Midwest Region Crossover. The first-year star hit .381 with two doubles, two triples, six RBI and seven runs scored.

• Ricketts erupts for seven RBI. Senior shortstop Taylor Ricketts had a monster weekend at the Midwest Region Crossover. She hit .375 with a double, triple and team-high seven RBI during the six-game stretch.

• Extra innings. The Eagles played four extra-inning games during their five-game weekend at The Cottrell Foundation Loyal Blue Classic. That total was one more extra inning game than the combined total of extra-inning games the Eagles competed in throughout the last two years.

Rep. Jim Baird Introduces Industries of the Future Act

0

Representative Jim Baird (R-IN) along with his colleagues Reps. Bill Foster (D-IL), Frank Lucas (R-OK), and Haley Stevens (D- MI) introduced the Industries of the Future Act. This bipartisan legislation would increase the capacity for research and development programs of the federal government that focus on industries of the future such as: artificial intelligence, 5G networks, and advanced manufacturing.

 

The United States has the best workforce in the world and to remain being the global leader, it is vital that our country make the necessary investments in research and development programs in future industries, which in return will lead to the jobs of the future. The bill will require the executive branch to prepare a plan to double the baseline investments in such industries by 2022 and a plan to increase civilian spending on future industries to $10 billion by fiscal year 2025.

 

“Our country needs to lay the foundation and make the necessary investments in industries like artificial intelligence, quantum information science, biotechnology, 5G wireless networks, and advanced manufacturing so our workers can continue to lead in the jobs of the future,” Rep. Baird said.   

 

“We must do all that we can to maintain America’s competitiveness and leadership in the global economy,” Rep. Foster said. “We can’t do that if we don’t make significant investments in the research and development that will spur technological innovation and propel our ability to compete in industries of the future. This legislation will give us the ability to do just that.”

 

“I am proud to join Rep. Jim Baird and Rep. Bill Foster, the co-chairs of the House Research & Development Caucus, in introducing this legislation to set a course for the United States to maintain its global leadership in the industries of the future, like artificial intelligence and quantum information science. American investment in in science and technology is fundamental to our economic competitiveness, our national security, and our way of life,” Rep. Lucas said.

 

“As the Chair and Ranking Member of the Research and Technology Subcommittee, Congressman Baird and I have worked together to convene hearings focused on industries of the future including advanced manufacturing, bioengineering, and artificial intelligence,” said Rep. Stevens.“The federal government plays an important role in the growth of these new industries by investing in critical basic research, and I am proud to join Congressman Baird in this effort to ensure that American workers and business remain at the forefront of innovation.”

 

The Industries of the Future Act is supported by companies like IBM.

 

“IBM applauds Representatives Baird and Foster for introducing the Industries of the Future Act of 2020 that recognizes the immense economic opportunity that emerging technologies like quantum computing, AI and 5G hold for our country,” said Christopher Padilla, Vice President of Government & Regulatory Affairs for IBM. “We support this legislation because public and private investment in collaborative research and development will accelerate innovation, sustain our nation’s prosperity and create new opportunities for the U.S. workforce.”

en swimmers from the Indiana University women’s program earned individual qualifying berths to the 2020 NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga. on March 18-21, the NCAA announced on Wednesday.

 

The following swimmers will be NCAA bound later this month: freshman Cora Dupre, freshman Carla Gildersleeve, senior Cassy Jernberg, junior Abby Kirkpatrick, sophomore Mackenzie Looze, senior Maria Paula Heitmann, sophomore Noelle Peplowski, freshman Ashley Turak and sophomore Maggie Wallace.

 

Indiana is one of 12 teams to bring double-digit swimmers to the Gabrielsen Natatorium. Stanford and Virginia lead the nation with 15 swimmers for each institution. Ohio State (12) is the lone Big Ten Conference school to place more swimmers in the NCAA field than the Hoosiers. Michigan is third on the conference list with nine participants.

 

Along with the swimmers, the IU diving team will compete for a spot on the NCAA Championship roster at the NCAA Zone C Championships in Lexington, Ky. The competition runs from March 12-14 at the Lancaster Aquatic Center.

 

Last season at the 2019 NCAA Championships, the Hoosiers tallied 179 points and a ninth-place finish. IU placed inside the top-10 in each of the last five NCAA Championships, the longest streak in program history. In total, IU boasts 10 top-10 finishes at the NCAA level. Indiana has not finished outside the top-15 in the team standings since placing 16th with 66 points at the 2003 NCAA Championships.

UE softball travels to Red & Black Challenge

Aces ready for final non-conference tournament

The final non-conference tournament is set for this weekend when the University of Evansville softball team travels to Louisville for the Red & Black Challenge.  Over the 3-day event, the Purple Aces will take on Northwestern, Illinois and Louisville in single games while facing Oakland twice.

 

UE is coming off of a 2-2 trip to Memphis for last weekend’s Blue City Classic, which pushed the Aces record to 8-9 for the year.  In Friday’s 6-4 win over North Alabama, Jessica Fehr and Eryn Gould posted two hits apiece while Alyssa Barela hit a bases clearing single to lead the offense.  Izzy Vetter was credited with the win, throwing three scoreless innings of relief while striking out five.

 

Haley Woolf was the star of the show in Saturday’s opening game against Northern Illinois.  The sophomore belted three home runs as the Aces finished with a 12-3 win.  Woolf was 3-4 with seven RBI and three runs scored.  Lindsay Renneisen also knocked in three runs.  Emily Lockhart picked up the win while Erin Kleffman earned the save.

 

After beginning the weekend with a 2-0 mark, Evansville fell in its final two games, starting with a 13-3 defeat at the hands of Northwestern State.  Sunday’s game against Memphis saw the teams swap the lead in the late innings.  UE held a 6-2 lead entering the bottom of the fourth before the Tigers scored three runs in both the fourth and fifth frames on their way to the 8-7 win.  Fehr added three RBI in the game while posting two hits.  Katie McLean and Gould also had two hits.

 

This weekend, the action begins on Friday with a 1:30 p.m. CT game against Oakland.  The Grizzlies are 7-6 through the opening three weekends.  Two weeks ago, Oakland enjoyed a 3-2 weekend at the Citrus Classic in Orlando where they defeated Clemson, Villanova and Stetson.  Sidney Rayba has a team-best .333 batting average.

 

Friday continues with a 3:45 p.m. game against Northwestern, who sit at 8-11.  The Wildcats have played one of the most challenging schedules in the country with nine of their 19 games coming against ranked opponents.  On February 15, they earned a 6-2 win over #5 Florida State.  Leading their offense is Gracie Huff, who is batting .308.

 

Just one game is on the docket for Saturday with UE matching up against Oakland for the second time at 3:45 p.m.  Two games will take place on Sunday, beginning at 12:30 p.m. against Illinois.  The Fighting Illini have a record of 8-9 but defeated a pair of ranked squads in the season opener.  They defeated #21 Ole Miss on Feb. 8 before taking down #23 Auburn less than 24 hours later.  Avrey Steiner is batting .382 on the season while reaching base 41.4% of the time.

 

Evansville wraps up the weekend against Louisville, who enter the tournament with a 7-12 record.  The Cardinals have some momentum on their side as they defeated 10th-ranked Oregon by a 4-3 final last weekend.  They are led by Cassady Greenwood, who is hitting .447.

0

University of Southern Indiana Track & Field is sending four individuals to the NCAA II Indoor Championships, two each from both the men’s and women’s side. There were also four Screaming Eagles named All- Midwest Region announced by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Monday afternoon.

Freshman Zach Barton is an NCAA II qualifier in the 60 meters with a season best time of 6.77 seconds, coming at the GVSU Big Meet Invitational on Feb. 14, his USI Track & Field debut. Barton’s 60m time ranked 13th in the nation, third in the region giving him the extra accolade of All-Midwest Region.

Sophomore Titus Winders qualified for both the 5000m and 3000m in the NCAA II Indoor Championships. Winders earned his 5000m qualifier with his season best time at the GVSU Big Meet of 8:08.46, currently sits at ninth in the nation. Winders picked up his NCAA II qualifier in the 3000m at the GVSU Holiday Open with a time of 14:06.19, the first meet of USI’s indoor season and ranked as the 12th fastest in NCAA II. Winders received All-Midwest Region honors for his efforts in the mile (4:07.42 at the Meyo Invitational), 5000m, and 3000m.

Junior Austin Nolan was granted All-Midwest Region status for his performance in the 5000m at the GVSU Big Meet Invitational with a time of 14:19.66.

Junior Jennifer Comastri, like Winders, qualified for both the 5000m and 3000m in the NCAA II Indoor Championships. Comastri picked up her 5000m qualifier in the team’s first meet at the GVSU Holiday Open with a time of 16:31.25. Her 5000m time is ranked fifth in all of the nation. Then, followed it up by earning a qualifier in the 3000m at the GVSU Big Meet Invitational with a time of 9:34.25.  Comastri nabbed All-Midwest Region honors in the mile (4:56.88 at the Indianapolis Greyhound Invitational), 5000m and 3000m.

Senior Hope Jones is an NCAA II qualifier in the 5000m after pacing her way to a 16:57.04 finish at the GVSU Big Meet Invitational. Jones’s 5000m time is currently ranked 16th fastest in the nation.

Brinkley off the Bench
Junior Mason Brinkley delivered in a big way on Wednesday night. Brinkley came in as a pinch hitter for Craig Shepherd in the top of the seventh inning and broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run single down the line that gave Evansville a 3-1 lead.

Starters Lead the Way
As a staff, the Aces’ starters were solid all weekend long. Of 27 possible innings, Evansville’s starting pitchers pitched 17 innings, and allowed just five hits and three earned runs, while striking out 19.

Patience Pays Off
The Aces have showcased their patience at the plate this season, including on Wednesday night at UT Martin. Evansville was out-hit by the Skyhawks, 11-4, but the Aces earned seven walk to just two for UT Martin. On the season, Evansville batters have drawn 59 walks, second-best in the MVC and in the top 75 in the nation.
