University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball announced that 5-foot-10 point guard Lexie Green (Indianapolis, Indiana), 6-foot-0 guard Kenna Hisle (Evansville, Indiana) and 6-foot-0 forward Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) have signed national letters of intent with Head Coach Rick Stein‘s Screaming Eagles for the 2020-21 campaign.

Green is a senior at Southport High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she earned All-State honors as a junior in 2018-19. A two-time All-Conference honoree, Green has averaged 13.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.1 steals per game during her prep career.

Currently a senior at North High School in Evansville, Indiana, Hisle is averaging 21 points, seven rebounds and four assists through four games of her senior season. Hisle, who earned first-team All-Southern Indiana Athletic Conference honors as a junior, has averaged more than 11 points and five rebounds per game during her three-plus years in a Husky uniform.

Raley is in her final year at Gibson Southern High School in Ft. Branch, Indiana, where she has garnered All-County, All-Conference and All-Southwest Indiana honors. She set single-game (40) and single-season (531) scoring records for Gibson Southern, while averaging nearly 20 points and more than eight rebounds per game as a junior in 2018-19. Her older sister, Maddie, is currently a senior on Missouri S&T’s women’s basketball team.

“We are excited to have Lexie, Kenna, and Meredith join our Screaming Eagle family here at USI,” Stein said.” All three are in the middle of outstanding High School careers and all are excelling again this year in so many ways.

“It is always great to have players that can affect the game in more ways than just scoring, and I definitely think these three student athletes are showing how well rounded their games are night in and night out,” Stein concluded.

USI (2-1) returns to action Friday at noon (CST) when it takes on the University of Tampa at the Bellarmine Thanksgiving Classic in Louisville, Kentucky.

 The 10th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team hit the gas and never looked back as it posted a 121-58 victory over Oakland City University Tuesday evening at the Screaming Eagles Arena. USI goes to 5-0 overall, while OCU is 1-6 in 2019-20.

USI used an 11-0 run midway through the opening half to pull away from Oakland City and built a 12-point lead, 22-10, at the 10:56 mark when sophomore forward Tyler Dancy connected on his fourth point for the run. The Eagles would continue to pull away from the Mighty Oaks, leading by as many as 28 points (49-21) before taking a 51-28 lead into the intermission.

USI junior forwards Josh Price and Emmanuel Little led the Eagles in the opening half, reaching double-digits with 12 points and 10 points, respectively.

Eagles’ senior guard Darnell Butler ignited a 34-11 run to start the second half as USI built a 46-point lead, 85-39, with 11:51 to play. Butler led the USI run with 10 points as the Eagles were a blistering 14-of-20 from the field, four-of-five from beyond the arc, during the surge.

USI would increase the lead to as many as 65 points, 121-56, before OCU got the final bucket of the game for the 121-58 final.

The 121 points marked the first time the Eagles had reached 120-or-more points in a game since they scored 125 versus Judson College on November 21, 2007. The USI record for points in a game is 153 versus Maryville University set during the 2009-10 season.

USI tied a school record with seven players in double-digits, led Price with 23 points. The junior forward was a blistering 10-of-13 from the field and three-of-six from the line, while completing his second double-double of the season with a team-high 10 rebounds.

Butler followed with 19 points in his USI regular-season debut on eight-of-12 from the field, two-of-four from behind the arc, and one-of-one from the stripe. Dancy, registered a season-high, and sophomore forward Glen Rouch, posted a career-best, with 15 points each, while Little dropped in 14 points.

Senior guard Joe Laravie added 12 points and tied for a team-high with freshman guard Chance Coyle with six assists. Junior forward Clayton Hughes rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points.

USI is idle through the Thanksgiving holiday before opening the Great Lakes Valley Conference slate December 3 at McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois. The Bearcats are 3-2 on the season and will have had nine days off before the Eagles come to visit.

The Eagles hold a 12-7 all-time record lead against McKendree University after posting a 102-60 win in Lebanon, Illinois. USI also has won the last seven games versus McKendree.

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball used runs of 14-0 and 18-1 to roll past Midwest Region foe Hillsdale College, 63-41, Tuesday evening at Screaming Eagles Arena.

USI (2-1) began the game with a 7-0 run; but found themselves facing an 18-15 deficit midway through the second period thanks in part to an 11-0 Hillsdale rally.

The Screaming Eagles, however, countered with a 14-0 run of their own to take a 29-15 advantage into the intermission. USI went 3-of-6 from the field, 2-of-3 from downtown, and 6-of-8 from the free throw line during the surge, all while holding the Chargers to 0-of-6 shooting.

USI extended its lead to as much as 16 points in the third period, but a 12-4 Hillsdale run trimmed USI’s lead to 41-33 with just under eight minutes left in the contest.

Sophomore forward Hannah Haithcock, however, scored eight of USI’s next nine points to begin an 18-1 run. Haithcock scored 10 points during the surge that left USI with a comfortable 59-34 cushion. USI went 7-of-8 from the field during the stretch, including a three-pointer from senior guard Kiara Mosesthat put the Eagles in front 53-33.

Haithcock finished with a game-high tying 13 points to go along with six rebounds for the Eagles, who led by as much as 26 before settling on the 22-point win. Senior guard Ashley Johnson added 13 points and two assists, while junior guard Emma DeHart had 11 points and four assists.

Sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown added nine points and a team-high 10 rebounds.

Hillsdale (2-5) was led by sophomore guard Lauren Daffenberg, who finished with eight points, while senior center Julia Wacker had five points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

The Eagles return to action Friday at noon (CST) when they take on the University of Tampa at the Bellarmine Thanksgiving Classic in Louisville, Kentucky.
