Resolution Calls For A Workers Memorial Day

0

INDIANAPOLIS—A 23-year-old woman who was crushed to death working at a Fort Wayne factory as well as others killed in their workplace will be remembered during Workers Memorial Day.

Shacarra Hogue died in 2018 while at work at Fort Wayne Plastics when she was cleaning products from inside the machine and a coworker started it.

Rep. Lisa Beck, D- Hebron, introduced House Resolution 30 that makes April 28 Workers Memorial Day to honor and remember workers who have been injured or died while working. The resolution passed the House in a unanimous voice vote.

Beck said between 2010 and 2018 1,100 Indiana workers died from injuries in their workplace.

“I do think this is a decision between employers, employees and the government,” she said of bettering working conditions in Indiana.

This legislative session Beck also authored House Bill 1213 which aimed to increase the penalties of workers who knowingly violate occupational health and safety laws. That bill died without a hearing.

Shacarra Hogue’s mother, Samantha Hogue, was present as Beck announced the resolution. She said her daughter never should have been hurt at work and should have had more protection.

Brett Voohries, president of Indiana AFL-CIO, said he is proud of Beck’s work to create a bipartisan conversation about working conditions in Indiana.

“We need to come to the point where days like the 28th aren’t needed,” he said.

Beck said workers and employees both need to make sure workplaces are safe for everyone, and that these accidents affect not only the workers but families and communities around them.

EPA Administrator Names Local Government Advisors

0
U. S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler announced the appointment of 12 new members to the Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC). The 31-member LGAC provides advice to EPA on developing stronger partnerships with local governments and building their capacity to deliver environmental services and programs. The Administrator also appointed five new members to the LGAC’s Small Communities Advisory Subcommittee.

“Ensuring the agency is well informed on how its programs impact local governments is an essential part of our decision making process,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “I want to thank our 12 new LGAC members, and five new Small Communities Advisory Committee (SCAS) members, for their willingness to serve in this important role. I also want to thank the returning LGAC and SCAS members for their contributions. The committees provide invaluable insight on how to best work with our local partners to build and maintain strong environmental programs, and I look forward to working with them in the coming year.”

The Administrator also appointed Commissioner Kitty Barnes of Catawba County, North Carolina as the LGAC’s new chair.

“I am honored to be appointed Chair of the Committee and look forward to working with Administrator Wheeler on issues of importance to us at the local level,” said Commissioner Barnes. “As elected and appointed officials of states, tribes, and local governments, we bring firsthand experience from the communities we represent.”

Kitty Barnes has served 21 years on the Catawba County Board of Commissioners, and 12 years as its Chair. She has led the county to the top ranking in North Carolina for curbside single‐stream recycling and biannual household hazardous waste collections. Commissioner Barnes also serves as vice‐chair of the National Association of Counties’ Environment, Energy, and Land Use Steering Committee and Resilient Counties Task Force.

The newly appointment LGAC members include:

The Honorable Gary Ward Black, Commissioner of Agriculture, State of Georgia
The Honorable Bruce Bracker,  Supervisor, Santa Cruz County, AZ
The Honorable Melissa Cribbins, Commissioner, Coos County, OR
The Honorable Eric Genrich, Mayor, Green Bay, WI
The Honorable Evan Paul Hansen, House Delegate, State of West Virginia
The Honorable Ryan E. MacKenzie, State Representative, House 134th District, Harrisburg, PA
The Honorable Bill McMurray, Mayor, St. Joseph, MO
The Honorable Steve Miller, Mayor, Fairfield, OH
The Honorable Cynthia Pratt, Deputy Mayor, Lacey, WA
The Honorable Matt Surrency, Mayor, Hawthorne, FL
The Honorable Paul TenHaken, Mayor, Sioux Falls, SD
The Honorable Eric Thompson, Tehoroniathe (Bright Sky), Chief, St. Regis Mohawk Nation, NY

The five new appointments to the LGAC Small Communities Advisory Subcommittee include:

The Honorable Vincent DeSantis, Esq., Mayor, Gloversville, NY
The Honorable Ella M. Jones, City Council Member, Ferguson, MO
The Honorable Joan Lee, Commissioner, Polk County, MN
The Honorable Gabriel Lopez, Vice-Chair, AK-Chin Indian Community, AZ
The Honorable Ann Mallek, Commissioner, Albemarle County, VA

Chartered in 1993 under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Local Government Advisory Committee provides independent and objective policy advice to the EPA Administrator on a broad range of issue affecting local governments, such as: regulatory innovation and reform, environmental protection tools, pollution prevention, performance measures, and coordinated environmental management and stewardship. The Small Community Advisory Subcommittee was established by EPA in 1996 to advise the Administrator on environmental issues of concern to the residents of smaller communities. New committee members were selected based on their demonstrated leadership experience, proven record of service to their communities, and involvement in effective environmental protection services and programs at the community, state, and national level.

The committees intend to convene in early 2020 to begin their work.

AG Curtis Hill launches investigation of Juul Labs

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today announced the launch of a bipartisan, multistate investigation of Juul Labs.

A 39-state coalition is investigating Juul’s marketing and sales practices, including targeting of youth, claims regarding nicotine content, and statements regarding the risks, safety and effectiveness of smoking cessation devices.

“Vaping poses significant health concerns, and it’s intended only as an alternative to smoking tobacco,” Attorney General Hill said. “Young Hoosiers need to be aware of these risks. We must encourage them to avoid these products, which should only be aimed at adults who want to quit smoking cigarettes and other tobacco products.”

While traditional cigarette use has plummeted among youth, vaping is skyrocketing, undermining national progress towards reducing unhealthy habits. The National Youth Tobacco Survey, conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in 2019, found more than 5 million youth reported having used e-cigarettes within the past 30 days, up from 3.6 million just one year prior.

A recent study from the CDC found that 99% of e-cigarettes sold in assessed venues in the U.S. contained nicotine, which is the addictive drug found in regular cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products. Nicotine is found in Juul products.

Nicotine use can harm adolescent brain development, according to the CDC. Using nicotine in adolescence, the CDC said, can harm parts of the brain that control attention, learning, mood and impulse control.

Young people who use e-cigarettes may also be more likely to smoke cigarettes in the future, the CDC said.

EPA Awards Over $1.8 Million for Innovative, Market-Based Nutrient Reduction Projects in Great Lakes Basin

0
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced more than $1.8 million in Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) grants to five organizations that will use market-based approaches, including water-quality trading, to enhance nonpoint source excess nutrient reduction efforts in the Great Lakes basin. This action supports EPA’s 50th anniversary celebration and its February theme of protecting America’s waters.

“Addressing emerging challenges, like excess nutrients in our waters, requires creative solutions,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This EPA funding will help build on existing state, local and tribal efforts and support innovative tools and technologies that will deliver critical water quality improvements at a lower cost.”

“EPA is proud to offer GLRI funding to promote water-quality trading and other market-based approaches to target nutrient runoff, one of the biggest threats to the health of the Great Lakes,” said Region 5 Administrator and Great Lakes National Program Manager Kurt Thiede. “These innovative projects will encourage cost-effective ways to reduce the excess nutrients that can lead to algal blooms and other water-quality issues.”

Excess nutrients can lead to challenging environmental problems in the Great Lakes, including algae blooms, hypoxic zones and other surface water quality concerns. Under the Trump Administration, EPA is focusing its attention on reducing nutrient losses through enhanced federal and state coordination, stakeholder engagement and the use of market-, incentive- and community-based programs. For more information on EPA’s efforts to address excess nutrients, visit https://www.epa.gov/nutrient-policy-data.

These grants are also part of a larger effort to restore and protect the Great Lakes and mark the first time EPA has requested competitive applications for water-quality trading projects under the GLRI. This larger effort is memorialized in the GLRI Action Plan III, which was unveiled by EPA Administrator Wheeler in October 2019. The Action Plan provides an aggressive roadmap that will guide Great Lakes restoration and protection activities by EPA and its many partners over the next 5 years. The grants announced today include:

$303,181 to the Delta Institute (Chicago, Ill.)

“By implementing a performance-based agricultural conservation program, we will not only reduce pollution in the Kalamazoo River watershed, but we will also strengthen collaboration between agricultural producers upstream and harbor stakeholders downstream,” said Bill Schleizer, CEO of the Delta Institute. “We are excited to continue our longstanding partnership with EPA and GLRI on this important project to create replicable and impactful water quality trading programs.”

The Delta Institute will reduce excess phosphorus loading to Lake Michigan from cropland erosion, livestock access and road and bridge crossings through a market- and performance-based agricultural incentive program in targeted areas of the Kalamazoo River watershed.

$479,782 to the Conservation Technology Information Center (West Lafayette, Ind.)

“This grant will kick start an effort to link farmers who work to reduce nutrient loss with supply chain participants,” said Mike Komp, executive director of the CTIC. “Through this partnership with farmers, researchers, market makers, and nonprofits, we will create the ability to quantify and reward farmers for their reductions in phosphorus loss. With all the issues related to water quality in the Western Lake Erie Basin, we hope to drive improvements through this market-based effort.”

The Conservation Technology Information Center and partners will create a pay-for-performance marketplace in the Maumee and Sandusky River watersheds to incentivize optimized use of phosphorus in farming operations and meet sustainability goals for consumer-packaged goods companies in Indiana, Michigan and Ohio.

$338,438 to NEW Water (Green Bay, Wis.)

“Continued funding for Great Lakes protection yields many benefits for our economy, our natural resources, and for the communities that live and thrive on these precious waters,” said Tom Sigmund, executive director of NEW Water. “We are grateful for this funding, which will allow us to be part of the solution to the vexing water challenges facing our utility and Northeast Wisconsin.”

NEW Water will implement a cost-share program for the installation of permanent vegetative buffers on 35 acres of headwater streams in the Fox River watershed as part of an adaptive water quality trading approach.

$290,000 to the Great Lakes Commission (Ann Arbor, Mich.)

“The Great Lakes Commission is pleased to partner with US EPA and the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative on exciting new market-based conservation investments in the Great Lakes Basin. Conservation Kick builds on the pioneering vision of the Great Lakes Basin Compact to efficiently and responsibly develop, use and conserve the water resources of the Basin,” said Darren Nichols, executive director of the Great Lakes Commission. “We appreciate EPA and Administrator Wheeler’s investment in the next generation of innovation, conservation and Great Lakes stewardship as we build on earlier water quality trading efforts to expand the marketplace for willing buyers and sellers. Conservation Kick will enable motivated credit investors – including water utilities, industries and businesses, non-profit organizations and citizens – to fund conservation improvements on the land, keeping soil and nutrients out of the Great Lakes and protecting drinking water for 48 million North American citizens. This is an innovative win-win-win for farmers, communities, and the Great Lakes.”

The Great Lakes Commission will expand the use of water-quality trading in the Great Lakes basin by creating a new incentive to participate in trading programs through the inclusion of drinking water utilities as potential buyers of water quality credits.

$437,000 to the Dairy Research Institute (Rosemont, Ill.)

“Designing a clearinghouse to facilitate water-quality trading will boost existing water quality programs in Wisconsin resulting in greater market participation, broader adoption of best practices and technologies, and accelerated water quality benefits for all,” said Krysta Harden, executive vice president of global environmental strategy for Dairy Management Inc., and advisor to the Dairy Research Institute. “We are appreciative of receiving EPA funding for this important project to improve water quality across the Great Lakes.”

The Dairy Research Institute will identify and design the functional elements of a market-based, water-quality trading clearinghouse in the Fox River watershed to assist in establishing, promoting and operating a transparent water quality trading marketplace.

USI BB hosts #10 Ashland this weekend

0

The University of Southern Indiana baseball team finishes its six-game homestand this weekend when it hosts 10th-ranked Ashland University for a three-game set Friday through Sunday. Game time Friday and Saturday is 2 p.m., while Sunday’s series finale is set for noon.

Coverage of the Screaming Eagles baseball games this season can be found on GoUSIEagles.com.

SCREAMING EAGLES BASEBALL NOTES #3:

Eagles sweep home opening series. USI successfully opened the 2020 home campaign with a three-game sweep of Trevecca Nazarene Univeristy, posting a pair of walk-off wins, 5-4 and 7-6, and series clinching victory, 4-1. USI senior right-hander Tyler Hagedorn got the win in relief in the opener on a walk-off single by senior rightfielder Manny Lopez, while senior right-hand Jacob Bowles picked up both wins in relief in the doubleheader. Sophomore catcher/infielder Lucas McNew had the walk-off single in the first game of the Saturday doubleheader.

At the plate versus Trevecca. Senior shortstop Kobe Stephens was USI’s top hitter versus Trevecca with a .400 average (4-10), while senior outfielder Manny Lopez had a team-best five RBI and the team’s first home run of the season.

At the plate through 6 games. Freshman outfielder Austin Moody leads the USI hitters (minimum 15 AB) with a .368 average (7-19) and is second with five RBI. Senior outfielder Manny Lopez has a team-best six RBI to start the 2020 campaign.

On the mound to start the year. Senior right-handers Tyler Hagedorn and Jacob Bowles have collected all four USI wins to start the season out of the bullpen. Hagedorn was credited with the first two, while Bowles has the last two.

Archuleta at USI. USI Head Coach Tracy Archuleta is USI’s all-time winningest coach with a record of 480-259 in 13-plus seasons and is 628-383 in 18-plus seasons all-time as a head coach. He has been named the ABCA Division II Coach of the Year twice (2010 and 2014) after leading the Screaming Eagles to a pair of national championships and the ABCA Division II Midwest Region Coach of the Year after leading USI to the regional crown in 2007, 2016 and 2018. Archuleta also has earned a pair of GLVC Coach of the Year awards (2011 and 2014) at USI.

Eagles vs. Ashland Eagles. USI leads the all-time series with the Ashland Eagles, 15-8, and has won the last meeting in the 2018 Midwest Regional, 11-3, in Springfield, Illinois. The Screaming Eagles also hold a 3-2 lead in the last five games, going 2-0 in the Midwest Regional and 1-2 during the regular season at the USI Baseball Field.

Ashland in 2020. Ashland, currently ranked 10th nationally in both the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper/ABCA top 30 and the NCBWA Top 25 polls, are 2-1 to start the 2020 campaign after taking two of three on the road from the University of Charleston (WV).

National Championship always the goal for Eagles. The Eagles have made a habit of competing in the NCAA II Championship over the last 13 seasons. USI has made eight NCAA II Midwest Regional appearances; won five Midwest Region crowns (2007, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018); and captured the NCAA II National Championship twice (2010, 2014). The USI program tied for third in the 2007 NCAA II National Championship series, while finishing fifth in 2016 and eighth in 2018.

Eagles visit Bellarmine, host UIndy for Senior Day

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball closes the 2019-20 regular-season this week as it travels to Louisville, Kentucky, to take on Bellarmine University Thursday at 4:45 p.m. before hosting the University of Indianapolis Saturday at 1 p.m. for Senior Day at Screaming Eagles Arena.

Both Great Lakes Valley Conference games this week will be aired live on 95.7 The Spin as well as the GLVC Sports Network, while live stats, audio and video can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

The Screaming Eagles (17-7, 13-5 GLVC) are looking to rebound from a tough 74-58 home loss to Lewis University this past Saturday. Senior guard Ashley Johnson had 21 points to lead the Eagles, while freshman forward Hannah Haithcock added 15 points.

Johnson currently leads the Eagles with 14.1 points and 3.8 assists per game, while junior guard Emma DeHart is contributing 11.3 points per contest. Haithcock is averaging 10.9 points and 5.0 rebounds per appearance, while sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown is chipping in 6.9 points and a team-high 6.1 rebounds per outing.

USI will honors its three seniors—Johnson, guard Kiara Moses and guard/forward Morgan Sherwood—following Saturday’s game against Indianapolis.

USI Women’s Basketball Notes
• Seniors to be honored. USI Women’s Basketball will honors its three seniors—guards Ashley Johnson and Kiara Moses and guard/forward Morgan Sherwood—at the conclusion of Saturday’s game against Indianapolis. The trio has combined to play 241 games during their NCAA careers, making 77 starts and racking up 4,179 minutes of playing time, 1,299 points, 583 rebounds, 372 assists, 240 steals and 38 blocks.

• Eagles win streak ends at six as USI settles for weekend split. USI saw its season-long six-game winning streak come to an end as the Screaming Eagles were forced to settle for the weekend split. USI began the week by rallying from a 10-point second-half deficit to defeat host Illinois Springfield, 69-61, on Thursday. The Eagles rallied from 14 down to tie Lewis at 45-45, the Flyers scored 29 points in the final nine minutes to hand USI a 74-58 home setback.

• Last week’s leaders. Johnson led USI with 19.5 points, 3.0 assists and 4.0 steals per game last week, while freshman forward Hannah Haithcock added 11.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per contest. Sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown finished with 6.0 points and a team-high 10.0 rebounds per game.

• Another rare loss. USI had just seven turnovers against Lewis, marking the second straight loss for USI when committing fewer than 10 turnovers in a game. The Eagles had nine turnovers in their loss Missouri-St. Louis, marking the first time since March 3, 2017, that the Eagles had lost a game when committing fewer than 10 turnovers—USI was 2-0 this season and had won seven straight games when limiting its turnovers to fewer than 10. The Eagles are now 19-6 under Head Coach Rick Stein when committing fewer than 10 turnovers, including 15-4 since the 2013-14 campaign.

• 11-minute spurts. Johnson had a pair of memorable 11-minute spurts this past weekend. She started by scoring 16 of her game-high 18 points in the final 11 minutes of USI’s win over Illinois Springfield on Thursday. She scored 17 of her team-high 21 points during the first 11 minutes of the second half of USI’s loss to Lewis, helping the Eagles overcome a 14-point deficit to tie the Flyers at 45-45.

• Inside the numbers. The Eagles would rather forget last week’s shooting effort, especially their first-half performances against Illinois Springfield and Lewis. Against the Prairie Starts, USI shot just 29.7 percent (11-37) from the field and were 0-of-9 from three-point range in the first 20 minutes. They were just 8-of-30 (.267) from the field and 0-for-3 from three-point range in the first half against Lewis.

• Comeback warriors. Thursday’s game against Illinois Springfield marked the fourth time this year that the Eagles have rallied from a double-digit deficit to earn a win and the third time they have rallied from 10-or-more points in the second half. Despite losing, USI trailed Lewis by 14 in the first and half 12 at the break before rallying back to tie the game at 45 in the fourth quarter.

• Eagles ranked in region. USI is sixth in the first NCAA II Midwest Region ranking of the year. The Eagles are one of five GLVC teams in the rankings, which can be found on page eight of the printable notes. The next ranking is due out Wednesday.

• Where they stand. Heading into the final week of the regular-season, the Eagles are currently third in the GLVC Points Ratings System (PRS), which determines the eight participants as well as the seeding for the GLVC Tournament. The complete ratings as well as the GLVC PRS details can be found on page eight of the printable notes.

• In the GLVC statistical rankings. Entering this week’s games, the Eagles currently have six players ranked among the league’s statistical leaders. Complete lists can be found on page 16 of the printable notes.
–Ashlynn Brown ranks 11th in defensive rebounds, 13th in blocks and 15 in total rebounds.
–Emma DeHart ranks 16th in minutes played and 26th in scoring.
–Hannah Haithcock ranks 27th in minutes played and 30th in scoring.
–Ashley Johnson is in the top 15 of six statistical rankings, including steals (4th), assists (5th), assist-to-turnover ratio (9th), scoring (13th), minutes played (13th and free throw percentage (14th).
–Kiara Moses ranks 11th in steals.
–Audrey Turner ranks 11th in blocks.

• Roaring 20s. Freshman forward Hannah Haithcock became the fourth different USI Women’s Basketball player to reach the 20-point plateau in a single game. She joins senior guards Ashley Johnson and Kiara Moses as well as junior guard Emma DeHart in accomplishing that feat.

• Double-figures. USI has had nine different players reach double figures in the scoring column this year, with eight different players scoring at least 10 points in multiple games.

• About Bellarmine. Junior guard Breia Torrens averages 13.3 points per game to lead the Knights (15-10, 10-8 GLVC), who had a four-game winning streak come to an end with their 93-70 loss to Maryville last Saturday. Torrens had 20 points in Bellarmine’s 66-45 win over USI in January.

• Previous meeting. The Eagles were held to just 3-of-19 (.158) shooting and 10 points throughout the final 11 minutes of the game as Bellarmine turned a 39-35 lead into a 21-point win. Johnson had 13 points to lead USI, which was held to just 31.0 percent (18-58) shooting and 14.3 percent (3-21) from behind the arc.

• About Indianapolis. Senior guard Laura Thomas averages 16.4 points to lead the Greyhounds (18-8, 11-7 GLVC), who snapped a two-game skid with their 90-75 win over Missouri S&T last Saturday. Thomas had a team-high 15 points in UIndy’s 75-64 loss to USI in January.

• Previous meeting. USI, which trailed 9-0 out of the gates, erased deficits of 23-13 and 43-32 to earn the 11-point road win over the Greyhounds in January. Johnson and DeHart combined for 39 points as the Eagles earned their fifth-straight win over their in-state rivals.

• Record book watch. The Eagles have two players making moves inside the USI Women’s Basketball Record Books:
–Emma DeHart ranks No. 44 all-time at USI with 619 career points;
–Ashley Johnson ranks No. 12 all-time at USI with 223 career assists, No. 15 with 145 steals and No. 41 with 661 career points.

• Magic Mark: 75 points. The Eagles are 419-77 (.845) all-time when scoring at least 75 points. USI is 292-28 (.913) since 1996-97 when reaching the 75-point plateau.

Couple Arrested in Home Repair Fraud Investigation

0

On February 19th, 2020, detectives from the Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post arrested a man and woman in connection with a fraudulent home repair scam that had been taking place in the Bluffton (Wells County) area. Austin Boswell (24) of Hanceville, Alabama, and Candace Prairie (29) of Peru, Indiana were both taken into custody and booked into the Wells County Jail last Wednesday evening, charged with felony offenses related to the alleged home improvement scam.

The investigation began when a concerned family member of the victim contacted the Bluffton Police Department after discovering large sums of money transfers out of the victim’s bank account. The investigation found that from January 8th through February 20th the suspects purported to have done work on the victim’s foundation, driveway, roof, and lighting rods that were attached to the house. The suspects also expanded their scheme by utilizing perpetrators other than just contractors, whom presented themselves as State agents and inspectors. Documents were presented to the victim falsely claiming back taxes were due on his property, and then attempted to collect payment for the alleged back taxes.

Although these two alleged suspects were identified, taken into custody, and charged during this investigation, it is believed that there were several other accomplices involved in the fraudulent activities, and a strong possibility that other homeowners in the region may have been victimized under similar circumstances.

If you think that you may have been the victim of a recent home repair fraud in or around the Wells County area, or if you as a care giver or family member of a person that may have been victimized, you are urged to contact detectives at the Indiana State Police Fort Wayne Post at (260)432-8661. Your information may prove valuable in preventing others from falling prey to these types of scam artists.

University of Southern Indiana senior pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon. Leonhardt went 3-0 with a save, 1.29 ERA, .149 opponent batting average and 26 strikeouts to lead USI to a 5-1 record at the Midwest Region Crossover this weekend in Westfield, Indiana.

The three-time All-American’s week was highlighted by her school-record 35th career complete-game shutout in USI’s 2-0 win over Northwood University. She racked up eight strikeouts and held the Timberwolves to just four hits and two walks to pick up the win.

Leonhardt, who is earning GLVC Pitcher of the Week honors for the eighth time in her career, had a save in USI’s 10-8 win over Ohio Dominican University and fanned 11 batters in USI’s 10-1 win over West Virginia State University. She finished the weekend off by giving up three runs off four hits, racking up six strikeouts, in USI’s win over West Liberty University on Sunday.

The reigning GLVC Pitcher of the Year also helped herself at the plate, hitting .429 with a triple, seven runs scored and five RBIs.

On the year, Leonhardt is 4-2 with a save, 1.72 ERA, .165 opponent batting average and 44 strikeouts. She is currently hitting .432 on the year with two doubles, a home run, a triple and a team-high 11 RBIs.

USI (8-3) returns to action March 6 when it takes on Fairmont State University and Cedarville University at The Spring Games in Winter Haven, Florida.
