Volleyball falls to UNI in five sets
Aces play hard until the end
In another match that went down to the wire, the University of Evansville volleyball team fell to UNI by a 3-2 final on Saturday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.
Evansville (14-7, 5-5 MVC) took the opening two frames before the Panthers (16-9, 10-1 MVC) stormed back to take the final three sets. Alondra Vazquez was the top performer for UE, posting a double-double with 20 kills and 14 digs. Melanie Feliciano added 19 kills and senior Rachel Tam finished the night with 19. Allana McInnis tallied 53 assists while Gabriela Macedo had 21 digs. Karlie Taylor posted 22 kills for the Panthers while Rachel Koop had 61 assists.
Evansville began with a nice spurt in the early-going. With the score tied at 4-4, UE posted the next five points as Melanie Feliciano got it started with a kill before the defense forced three Panther errors in a row. The lead grew to as many as six points at 12-6 with Patricia Joseph adding a kill. UNI made its first big run, registering the next four before tying it at 13-13. The Aces were able to retake the lead and extend back to three tallies at 19-16 when Feliciano notched her third kill of the set. UNI battled back to tie it at 22-22, but Alondra Vazquez took over, posting a kill and an ace before Feliciano had the clincher in a 25-23 win and a 1-0 lead.
Vazquez helped the Aces jump out to another early lead, recording two kills to give UE a 5-1 edge. Evansville kept the pressure on, forcing three Panther errors that made it a 10-2 game. From there, the Aces were able to add to the lead and win by a 25-14 final. Vazquez finished the six kills in the set.
UNI regrouped and opened game three on a 4-1 stretch and was able to hang tough in the set, going up by a 17-10 tally before picking up their first set of the night with a 25-18 victory. After the Aces posted the first two points of the fourth set, UNI scored the next three to take their first lead. The Panthers held three 2-point leads before wrestling away a 16-12 advantage. They went on to lead by as many as nine before winning by that deficit at 25-16 to force a fifth set.
In the fifth set, the Panthers had the early advantage, opening up a 3-1 lead and went up by five points at 13-8. UE had one final rally left with kills by Vazquez and Tam cutting the deficit to three. An error got the Aces within a pair before the Panthers settled back in and won by a 15-12 score to clinch the match.
Up next for Evansville is a road trip north to Loyola and Valparaiso. The Aces are in Chicago to play the Ramblers on Friday at 6 p.m. before heading to Valpo on Saturday for a 5 p.m. contest.

Republic Services Trash Collections Delayed Until Monday
(October 26, 2019) Republic Services is delaying trash pick-ups until Monday, October 28, 2019, due to the continuing strike by the Teamsters union at its Marshfield, Massachusetts facility. Teamsters Local 215 is not on strike; however, striking Teamsters are picketing the local Republic Services operations facility and Republic’s Evansville Teamsters drivers are not willing to cross the picket line.

AG Curtis Hill Joins Bipartisan Coalition Raising Concerns About Illegal Online Alcohol Sales
Attorney General Curtis Hill today joined a bipartisan coalition of 46 state and territory attorneys general in calling on Facebook, Craigslist and eBay to take proactive measures against alcohol sales on their platforms that frequently violate state laws.
“We have rules and regulations for many reasons,†Attorney General Hill said. “When making purchases like these online, you never fully know what you’re getting. It could be extremely dangerous and detrimental to consume alcohol that might not be tested and regulated by the appropriate agencies.â€
In a letter, the attorneys general note that the 21st Amendment invests the right to regulate the sale of alcohol to each state and points out concerns that unlicensed, unregulated, and untaxed alcohol sales are taking place on digital platforms. The consumer may not know that this method of alcohol sales is illegitimate or that these black-market products could pose health risks.
“We believe that everyone has an ethical and moral responsibility to protect consumers, especially those who are most vulnerable to fraud,†write the attorneys general. “Self-regulation and self-policing to prevent illegal and unfair trade practices and ensure consumer safety are minimum responsibilities for your respective companies. You have the technical prowess and power to accomplish basic protections against illegal sales.â€
The letter asks Facebook, Craigslist and eBay to take the following specific actions:
- Review the current content posted to the companies’ websites and remove illegal postings for the sales and/or transfer of alcohol products.
- Develop and deploy programming to block and prevent your platform users from violating state law by posting content for the sale and distribution of alcohol products on their websites.
The attorneys general also invited the companies to join with them to form a working group with stakeholders from government and industry to further explore how to establish practical and effective protocols for preventing illegal alcohol sales.
Social Media, Apps Parents Should Look Out For

Social Media, Apps Parents Should Look Out For By Wendy McNamara |
|||||
|
While technology and social media are extremely useful and powerful tools that help us connect like never before, they can be dangerous — especially for children.
|
|||||
|
With recent arrests made following online predator and human trafficking stings, law enforcement officers around the country are warning parents about potentially dangerous apps their kids could be accessing. Well-known social media and dating apps like Snapchat, TikTok, and Tinder can be used by online predators to interact with children. Apps such as Calculator% allow users to hide photos and their browser history. It is important that we all look out for the young ones in our lives and ensure they are aware of these dangers and use their devices responsibly. Click here to see a full list of apps that police around the country are asking parents to look out for. If your child has a cell phone or mobile device, check out these resources and take some time to understand the risks and implement a few safeguards to keep them protected from online dangers. |
