Purple Aces volleyball announces 2019 signing class
Aces add four freshmen for 2020 season
University of Evansville head volleyball coach Fernando Morales has announced his first signing class as the head coach of the Purple Aces. Morales and his staff have added four freshmen who have signed National Letters of Intent will join the team in 2020.
The class consists of Rachel Basinski (Evansville, Ind./Memorial), Elise Moeller (Rock Falls, Ill./Rock Falls), Emilee Scheumann (Fort Wayne, Ind./Bellmont) and Brooke Springer (Henderson, Ky./Henderson County).
Basinski makes the move just a few blocks from Memorial High School to the University of Evansville. The 5-5 libero earned a spot on the 2019 SIAC First Team for her efforts, which included a total of 244 digs, which came out to three per set. She added a total of 18 service aces. Basinski led Memorial to the IHSAA 3A Sectionals and garnered Indiana High School Volleyball Coaches Association Academic All-State honors as a senior.
Coach Morales on Basinski: “Rachel Basinski is a local player that had a great senior season, taking Memorial to Semi-state. She will help fill out the spot Gabi will leave, with her and Laura we are comfortable with the future at that position.â€
Moeller is a 5-10 outside hitter from Rock Falls, Ill. In October of this year, she was named the Sauk Valley Media Athlete of the Week. Moeller averaged 7.5 kills and five digs while helping her team win the IHSSA 2A Regionals.
Coach Morales on Moeller: “Elise Moeller is an all-around player that will give up depth at the OH position. We know that was one of our weaknesses this year – our depth in that position – so we are happy to have her.â€
Scheumann is a Fort Wayne native who starred as an outside hitter at Bellmont High School. Averaging 2.7 kills per set, the 5-10 Scheumann hit an efficient .373. Her squad won the IHSSA 3A Semi-State Title. Scheumann’s personal accolades include spots on the 2019 Indiana High School Volleyball Coaches Association 3A Northeast District Team and the Academic All-State Team.
Coach Morales on Scheumann: “Emilee Sheumann is a combination of power and control. She can play the role of both scoring and passing OH. She can help us cover the points we will lose when Rachel graduates while adding ball control as well.â€
Springer is another native of the area, coming to UE from Henderson Country High School in Henderson, Ky. A 6-2 middle blocker, Springer helped her team to its 5th consecutive KHSV 2nd Region Title. Springer averaged 2.25 blocks per set and 3.34 kills on her way to 2019 KHSV 2nd Region Volleyball Team honors and KHSV 2nd Regional All-Tournament Team recognition.
Coach Morales on Springer: “Brooke Springer is a tall powerful middle that will bring us more offense. With her we will have 3 young talented middle blockers. We are excited about the future in that position.â€

Sale of University of Evansville’s 91.5 Broadcast Frequency is Complete
After an extensive two-year process, the University of Evansville announces that the sale of its radio broadcast frequency 91.5 to WAY-FM is complete.
The University announced the sale in May 2019 and the Federal Communications Commission has approved the transaction. Effective today, programming on 91.5 will seamlessly switch to the WAY-FM broadcast.
UE students will continue to have access to an array of broadcast outlets, such as ESPN3 and the Old National Bank radio network, which provide the full spectrum of experience in preparation for today’s multimedia environment. Additionally, WUEV’s audio production facilities will be integrated into the multimedia resources that UE currently has for students to develop skills that will prepare them for the current digital media environment. These resources include the Mel Peterson Video Production Lab in the newly renovated Hyde Hall. This state-of-the-art lab is complete with green screen technology and post-production editing capabilities that students began utilizing this fall.
The decision to sell the station will save the University an estimated $1 million over the course of ten years, in addition to capital expense improvements. UE will retain the assets that will be impactful for its communications curriculum. The University will invest these savings into strategic initiatives to further enhance the student experience.
Patrick Communications represented the University in the sale, which was first announced in May 2019, and the WUEV call letters will remain with the University of Evansville.
WAY-FM is a national, nonprofit radio broadcasting network. The network currently serves the Evansville area under the 91.9 frequency and will expand upon its local service with the acquisition of 91.5.
The Children’s Museum of Evansville Will Be CLOSED On Thursday
