USI Baseball announces 29 roster additions for 2025 Story Links

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball and Head Coach Chris Ramirez announced the addition of 29 players to the 2025 roster. The 29 players include five Division I transfers, five Division II transfers, two NAIA transfers, and 17 NJCAA transfers. By position, the 29 new players include 16 pitchers, seven infielders, five outfielders, and one catcher.
 
“This will go down as one of the more memorable recruiting classes of my coaching career,” said Ramirez. “Stepping into the program with only 14 players on the roster in mid-July, I can’t say enough about the work our coaching staff did to build this team. 
 
“We were able to sign players from all over the country,” continued Ramirez. “The JUCO route was our sweet spot, as we targeted guys with a track record of success at winning programs. We also dipped into the transfer portal to add some high-talent players from the D1, D2 and NAIA level that should make an immediate impact as Screaming Eagles!”
 
The new Screaming Eagles are:

UE men’s soccer goes for fifth straight win at Lindenwood

0
The Purple Aces return to the road for two games
 
ST. CHARLES, Mo. — The University of Evansville men’s soccer team will look to match its best start since 2008 on Friday night.
The Purple Aces continued their perfect start to the season on Wednesday night with a 1-0 win over Eastern Illinois. UE took 29 shots throughout the match but only found the back of the net once, as EIU’s goalkeeper kept the Panthers in the game. But Evansville kept the ball far away from its own goal for its fourth straight victory. The 29 shots that the Aces took on Wednesday night against Eastern Illinois was the most by a UE men’s soccer team since the 2017 season. In 2017 Evansville set a program record for shots against Anderson with 46 in 90 minutes.

Lindenwood comes into Friday’s match still searching for its first win of the season. The Lions return home after having their first road loss to Wright State. Lindenwood surrendered four unanswered goals after scoring the first goal of the match in the 4-1 loss. The Lions are led by two different players, senior midfielder Josh Francombe and freshman defender Anel Kafedzic with a goal apiece.

UE now becomes one of only 17 teams across Division I with a 100% win-loss-tied percentage. Evansville is also alone atop the Missouri Valley Conference standings as the only team with four wins on the year. The Aces also lead the MVC in save percentage (85.7%), shots per game (16), shots on goal per game (7.5), and team goals against average (0.5). UE is now Top 10 in the nation in goal differential coming in at number 10.

With his second clean sheet of the season, freshman goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill. / Elk Grove HS) now leads the Missouri Valley Conference in shutouts. Mroz also leads the conference in goalkeeper minutes played with 360 minutes so far. Along with leading two categories, Mroz is second in the conference in several statistical categories including goals against average (0.500) and save percentage (85.7%).

Chuck Whobrey President of Teamsters Local 215 Have served the Membership With Class, Dignity, And Honor

BY CHARLES L.  BERGER, ESQ

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024

Dear CCO Editor

The recent announcement of the retirement of Chuck Whobrey as President of Teamsters Local 215 takes me back to when he first became the President. An article appeared on December 13, 1992, in the Evansville Courier, profiling Chuck as the new President of Teamsters Local 215. When you review that article and you consider his career since that time, he is a person who never wandered from his path as a strong and forceful labor leader in our community. Chuck’s influence has been one of a very positive influence upon our community. He helped create many different forces for change in the betterment of the working folks in our community, who he has represented and even those who he did not represent have benefited from his leadership and courage. He has made possible better health benefits for many individuals who never would have seen them but for his leadership and negotiating savvy.

He was instrumental in creating a scholarship fund to help individuals, who are without all of the necessary financial means, to provide a higher education for their children with an additional source of funds to do so.

Chuck has always stood up for his members and for the importance of improving the conditions of the working men and women in our area of the state. While Chuck’s influence will continue, his presence will be dearly missed missed

Sincerely,

BERGER & BERGER
