USI Men’s Basketball Team Falls In Overtime To UE
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team forced the University of Evansville to overtime but fell 71-68 Monday evening at the Ford Center. USI concludes the exhibition schedule Friday when it visits Purdue University for a 7 p.m. (CDT) game.
The defense was the name of the game for the first five minutes of the game as Evansville was only able to generate a 3-2 lead. The Aces would extend the lead to as many as eight points, 23-15, with 7:57 left in the opening half when the Eagles made their run.
USI cut the deficit to two, 24-22, on a lay-up by junior forward Josh Price, but Evansville responded by re-extending the margin to six points at 28-22. The Eagles scored seven of the last nine points to send the game into halftime tied, 29-29 when junior forward Clayton Hughes slammed home a dunk as time expired in the opening 20 minutes.
Hughes led the Eagles during the first half with nine points on four-of-six from the field, while USI, as a team, shot 40.6 percent from the field (13-32).
In the second half, USI posted its first lead of the game, 33-32, before Evansville used an 8-0 run to grab a seven-point advantage, 40-33, by the first media timeout. The Eagles erased the deficit once more with an 11-4 run to knot the game at 44-44 when Price converted a layup with 9:12 to play.
The Eagles would grab the lead again at 5:17, 54-53, on a steal and a layup by freshman guard/forward Chance Coyle. Both teams would trade leads as the game came down to the wire in regulation. USI junior forward Emmanuel Little tied the game at 59-59 with a pair of free throws before Evansville’s Artur Labinowicz missed three free throws with 0.5 seconds left to force extra time.
USI grabbed a quick two-point lead in overtime, 61-59, on junior forward Justin Carpenter’s layup. The Aces, however, surged with six quick points to retake the lead, 65-61. The Eagles rallied once more, 65-65, on a pair of jumpers by Little with 2:09 left.
The 65-65 tie would be the last one for the Eagles as the Aces scored six of the final nine points to earn the exhibition victory.
Individually, Little led USI with a double-double, scoring 20 points on six-of-15 from the field and eight-of-11 from the line and grabbing 11 rebounds. Hughes joined Little in double-digits with 11 points, on four-of-seven from the field and three-of-five from the charity stripe.
The Eagles, as a team, shot 42.9 percent from the field (24-56) and tied the Aces on the boards, 41-41.
Following the conclusion of the exhibition schedule Friday at Purdue, the Eagles open the regular season November 8 when they visit Hillsdale College on day one of the G-MAC/GLVC Crossover Classic in Hillsdale, Michigan. USI finishes the first weekend of action on November 9 when it plays Malone University at Hillsdale.
Eagles back on track with 2-0
University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer got back on track with a 2-0 victory at Quincy University Sunday afternoon in Quincy, Illinois. The Screaming Eagles go to 10-4-1 overall and are 8-4-1 GLVC, while Quincy is 5-9-1 overall, 4-8-1 GLVC.
With the win, USI is tied with Maryville University (9-4-1, 8-4-1 GLVC) for fifth in the GLVC standings. The Eagles also are percentage points behind Bellarmine University (11-3-2, 8-3-2 GLVC), which moved into fourth today with a tie at Missouri University of Science & Technology (5-7-3, 5-6-2 GLVC).
USI played defense throughout the first half as Quincy finished the half with a 5-2 lead in shots and a 4-0 advantage in corner kicks.
The second half was a different story as the Eagles were able to counter attack and break through the Hawks’ defense for a pair of goals. Sophomore forward Katlyn Andres posted the first goal at 46:51 for the eventual game-winner. The goal was Andres’ sixth of the season, tying her for the team lead with junior forward Maggie Winter.
USI sealed the victory at 70:48 when junior forward Taylor McCormick broke through on a pass from junior forward Audrey Andrzejewski. The goal was McCormick’s third of the year.
Between the posts, USI freshman Maya Etienne blanked the Hawks while facing 13 shots and making four saves in 90 minutes. Etienne posted her 10th win of the season and her eighth shutout.
USI returns to the friendly surroundings of Strassweg Field for the final two regular season matches of 2019, hosting Maryville Friday at 5 p.m. and Missouri S&T Sunday at noon. Sunday’s match with Missouri S&T is Senior Day for the Eagles.
USI leads the all-time series with Maryville, 6-4-1, after a pair of wins last year at Strassweg Field, winning 3-1 during the regular season and 2-0 in the first round of the GLVC Tournament. Overall, the Eagles won three of the last four matches between the two programs.
The Eagles lead the all-time series with Missouri S&T, 10-5-1, after the two teams battled to a 0-0 double overtime tie in 2019. USI also has battled the Miners to a draw over the last five years at 2-2-1.
