Comastri, Jones lift Eagles at regional meet

0

Junior Jennifer Comastri and senior Hope Jones posted top 20 finishes to lead No. 15 University of Southern Indiana Women’s Cross Country to a sixth-place finish out of 32 teams at the NCAA Division II Midwest Region Championships Saturday morning at Angel Mounds.

Comastri finished 13th out of 223 runners with a six-kilometer time of 21 minutes, 24.7 seconds, while Jones was 18th with a time of 21:36.3. Both runners earned All-Midwest Region honors with their top 25 finishes.

Freshman Presley Warren and junior Doriane Langlois finished 44th and 48th, respectively, to aid the Screaming Eagles, while freshmen Aubrey Swart and McKenna Cavanaugh were 72nd and 73rd. Senior Ashley Lawhorn rounded out the Eagles’ lineup with a 93rd-place finish.

USI’s sixth-place finish means the Eagles will have to wait until Monday’s announcement of at-large bids into the NCAA II National Championships, which are November 23 in Sacramento, California. This year’s NCAA II Midwest Region Championship field was arguably the strongest field in the nation with nine teams ranked inside the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association Top 25.

No. 2 Grand Valley State University won the race with 40 points to punch its ticket to nationals, while No. 19 Michigan Tech University was second with 146 points to secure a trip to the national meet. No. 10 Walsh University (155 points) rounded out the automatic bids with a third-place finish, while No. 9 Hillsdale (156 points) and No. 17 Southwest Baptist University (183 points) will join USI (191) in waiting to see if their names are called on Monday.

GVSU’s Allie Ludge was the individual champion with a time of 20:34.7, while GLVC champion Elysia Burgos of Southwest Baptist was second with a time of 20:44.5.

Eagles run away with 83-56 victory Watson ties Pearl for USI’s all-time leader in wins

The 13th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team raced out to a big lead and cruised to an 83-56 victory over Malone University Saturday evening in the G-MAC/GLVC Crossover in Hillsdale, Michigan USI starts the season,2-0, while Malone opens with a 1-1 mark.

The Eagles’ victory ties Head Coach Rodney Watson with former USI Head Coach Bruce Pearl for the all-time lead in victories at 231. Watson is 231-74 in 10-plus seasons (2009-Present), while Pearl was 231-46 in nine seasons (1992-2001).

USI had command of the game through nearly the all of the opening half after trailing, 4-2 and 6-5. USI senior guard Joe Laravie hit a bomb from downtown to put the Eagles up, 8-6, as the Eagles never looked back.

The Eagles continued to build its lead in the opening 20 minutes, extending the margin to 17 points, 36-19, with 4:06 remaining before halftime when junior guard Clayton Hughes hit a three-point field goal. USI would finish the opening half with a 16-point, 42-26 lead by the intermission.

Laravie and junior forward Emmanuel Little with 12 points each paced the Eagles, who shot 66.7 percent from the field (18-27).

After a slow start to the second half, the Eagles flew out to a 62-30 lead on an 18-4 run that was capped off by a three-point barrage by sophomore forward Glen Rouch. Rouch scored all nine of his points on the three-straight three-point bombs in a span of two minutes.

USI would extend the lead all the way to 38 points, 74-36, with 7:14 to play in the game when Laravie hit his third three-point field goal of the game. The Eagle cruised the rest of the way for the 83-56 victory.

As a team, USI shot 53.6 percent from the field (30-56), 58.8 percent from beyond the arc (10-17), and 92.9 percent from the stripe (13-14). The Eagles also won the battle on the glass, 39-29.

For the second-straight game, Laravie and Little led the Eagles in scoring with 17 points each. Laravie was a blistering seven-of-10 from the field and three-of-five from beyond the arc, while Little was eight-of-16 from the field and one-of-two from the stripe.

USI junior forward Josh Price came off the bench to produce a double-double with 16 points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Price was three-of-four from the field and made Pioneers pay at the stripe, going 10-of-10.

USI opens the 2019-20 home schedule and the new Screaming Eagles Arena November 18 when the Eagles host long-time rival Kentucky Wesleyan College for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The Panthers were 10-16 last season and open the 2019-20 campaign Wednesday versus Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky.

The Eagles trail the all-time series with the Panthers, 49-42, but have won the last six contests. USI took the last meeting in the Small College Basketball Classic in 2017-18, 88-75, at the Ford Center behind the 17 point, 10 rebound performance by Little.

USI gains ground with victory over Saints

0

The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team scored its fourth-straight victory in Great Lakes Valley Conference play with a four-set victory over Maryville University on Senior Day, by scores of, 25-20, 22-25, 25-22, 25-13.

The Screaming Eagles (15-13, 7-6 GLVC) are now in a three-way tie in the seventh spot in the GLVC standings after McKendree University defeated the Missouri University of Science and Technology in four sets Saturday, with USI holding the tiebreaker over the Miners and fellow tied opponent University of Illinois Springfield.

Freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson recorded her third-straight double-double, and fourth in her last six outings, on her way to tying a season-high with 19 kills while tallying 17 digs. The Bloomington, Illinois-native posted six kills in the first, third and fourth sets; the three sets USI claimed over Maryville. Anderson also crossed the 300-kill threshold for the season with her final kill in the first frame.

Junior setter Casey Cepicky hit the 40-mark in assists for the fifth time in 2019, passing Quin Shoultz ’16 for sixth all-time in career assists on Anderson’s first kill of the contest. The St. Louis-native has reached 35-plus assists in each match of USI’s four-match winning streak.

Seniors middle blocker Amanda Jung and libero/outside hitter Mikaila Humphrey produced in their final home match for the Eagles. Jung posted six kills on a .400 hitting clip and six blocks to lead USI in that department. Humphrey led the Eagles with 18 digs, tying her season-best mark set in the Warrior Invitational in September.

Freshman libero Audrey Crowder aided the Anderson and Humphrey’s effort with another 17 digs in the contest. The Avon, Indiana-native has posted double-digits in that category in seven of her last eight matches, including all four in USI’s current stretch.

The Eagles are on their first four-match GLVC winning-streak since November of 2013, where USI claimed five in-a-row to open that month. That streak also featured the last time USI scored back-to-back weekend sweeps in league play.

Supreme Court Weighs Whether It’s Theft To Remove AGPS Tracking Device That Was Placed By Police

0

Brynna Sentel

INDIANAPOLIS—When a GPS tracking device placed on a suspected drug dealer’s vehicle was removed, police obtained a warrant to search his home on the grounds that the small black box was stolen.

That search, which took place in Warrick County in July 2018, led to the discovery of drugs and drug paraphernalia. As a result, Derek Heuring was charged with an array of felony drug charges plus a misdemeanor for the theft of the tracking device, all of which could land him in prison for many years.

But Heuring, through his attorney, Michael Keating, has challenged the warrant that led to his arrest. He argues that the search based on the alleged theft of the tracking device was bogus and all evidence should be thrown out as a violation of the 4th Amendment protection against an unlawful search and seizure.

After losing that argument before the court in Warrick County and again in the state appellate court, Heuring appealed to the Indiana Supreme Court, which heard the case Thursday.

Keating argued that the Class A misdemeanor theft charge and the subsequent drug-related charges from the search were unprecedented because law enforcement had no reason to suspect that that Heuring stole the tracking device.

Keating cited the state code on theft, arguing that Heuring could not have knowingly exercised “unauthorize control” or “deprive” the state of anything because he couldn’t have known the unmarked device actually belonged to the government.

“Any officer should know this is not evidence of a theft,” Keating said.

Jesse R. Drum, supervising deputy attorney general, argued the police followed procedure and gave Heuring the benefit of the doubt prior to the discovery that the device was missing from the vehicle. He maintained that the police were simply trying to get the tracking device back through the warrant.

The judges pointedly questioned both the Keating and Drum about how Heuring could have known the device was the property of law enforcement without any indication on the device itself or notification in person.

Drum said that Heuring had cameras outside his home and could have looked to see who placed the device on the vehicle.

Keating argued there is no proof the cameras were working or that Heuring even checked them prior to removing the device.

When asked who should bear the risk for the loss of the equipment, Keating replied that since it wasn’t clearly identified as the property of the Warrick County Sheriff’s Department, “they should bear the risk of loss.

Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush questioned if any police misconduct had occurred.

Keating said that he doesn’t believe police misconduct occurred but argued again to suppress the drug evidence because there was no probable cause for the search warrant in the first place.

There is no timeline for the state’s high court to decide the case.

New Section of Waterworks Road Scheduled to Open Monday, November 11

New Section of Waterworks Road Scheduled to Open Monday, November 11
The intersection at Veterans Memorial Parkway includes turn lanes, traffic signal

 (Evansville, IN) – The new section of Waterworks Road is scheduled to open on Monday, November 11, 2019, after the morning rush hour around 9 a.m. The project includes a new intersection at Veterans Memorial Parkway with dedicated left-turn lanes and a fully functional traffic signal. The old section of Waterworks Road will only be used as a temporary construction entrance and for access to the Water Filtration Plant, Levee Authority building, and Street Maintenance Department.

The traffic signal at Veterans Memorial Parkway and Shawnee Drive will remain so motorists can safely turn south onto the Parkway. Once a new entrance and driveway to the municipal buildings are finished, the construction entrance off the old section of Waterworks Road will be closed and the traffic signal at Veterans Memorial Parkway and Shawnee Drive will be changed to a three-way traffic signal.

The posted speed limit on Veterans Memorial Parkway has been reduced to 45 mph to slow down traffic as it nears the traffic signals at Waterworks Road and Shawnee Drive heading into the downtown area. Transverse rumble strips have been embedded in the pavement on Veterans Memorial Parkway to alert drivers of the need to reduce speed.

Approximately 1,400 feet of Waterworks Road was relocated to bypass the area where a new pump station is currently under construction at the site of the former Kids Kingdom playground, and to make way for the replacement and relocation of three 36-inch water lines. The pump station is one of many projects planned over the next 25 years as part of the Renew Evansville program, the Evansville Water and Sewer Utility’s $729 million response to a federal mandate requiring the City of Evansville to comply with the Clean Water Act. Upgrades are required to the sewer system to dramatically reduce combined sewer overflows into the Ohio River, Pigeon Creek, and Bee Slough.

“The relocation project was needed to improve our infrastructure,” said Mayor Lloyd Winnecke. “But it will also be the first of many projects that will enhance the gateway to Downtown Evansville.”

The new section of Waterworks Road was built with a level shoulder along the western edge of the road that can be developed in the future as an extension of the Pigeon Creek Greenway, creating more walking and biking space for citizens to enjoy. The new path would provide a connection back to the pump station, which will have a park-like setting with a cascading water outfall at the riverfront.

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility recently opened bids on the cascade outfall that will be tied to a lift station below ground at the pump station. The lift station will pump treated water from the East Wastewater Treatment Plant to the cascade over the levee at the Ohio River.

Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Deputy Director Mike Labitzke added, “Above ground, we’ll have the wastewater laboratory relocated to this site, as well as an overlook on top of the pump station and some other amenities.” Construction on the cascade will begin in 2020 and should take a few years to complete.

“The relocation of Waterworks Road is one of the most visual changes so far in a multi-decade effort to comply with the federal consent decree,” said Evansville Water and Sewer Utility Executive Director Allen Mounts. Future changes include the construction of wetlands along Veterans Memorial Parkway.

Winders Claims Another Title As Eagles Overcome Hurdle To Secure Nationals Berth

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana sophomore All-American Titus Winders captured his second consecutive NCAA II Midwest Region title Saturday with his first-place finish at the regional meet. His effort helped the No. 9 Screaming Eagles to a third-place finish out of 31 teams and to secure a berth into the NCAA II National Championships, which are November 23 in Sacramento, California.

Winders took an early lead in the race and stayed within the top five runners throughout the competition. The reigning Midwest Region and Great Lakes Valley Conference Runner of the Year pulled into the lead in the final three kilometers and put eight seconds between himself and the second-place finisher—Chris Stimpfel of Saginaw Valley State University—by race’s end as he finished with a 10-kilometer time of 31 minutes, 5.8 seconds.

His performance was vital in the Eagles’ effort to secure an automatic bid to the national meet as senior Austin Nolan, who has jostled with Winders as USI’s top performer throughout the year, was dropped out of the competition early in the race.

USI got a huge boost from its traditional No. 3-7 runners as senior Nathan Hall along with juniors Grady Wilkinson, Gavin Prior and Wyat Harmon all finished within 11 spots of each other and inside the top 40 overall. Hall was USI’s second to cross the finish line for the Eagles as he was 28th overall with a time of 32:33.3. Wilkinson was 29th with a time of 32:42.2.

Prior and Harmon finished 37th and 39th, respectively, while senior Javan Winders rounded out the Eagles’ lineup with a 69th-place finish in the 216-member field.

No. 3 Grand Valley State University took home the team title with a score of 52 points, while No. 8 Michigan Tech University was second with 116 points. USI finished with 134 points, while No. 22 Walsh University and No. 14 Saginaw Valley State University were fourth and fifth with respective point totals of 146 and 155.

USI secured its 15th consecutive trip to the NCAA II National Championships and its 27th overall.
