Gabriela Macedo earns second MVC weekly honor

Senior names MVC Defensive Player of the Week

 In a weekend that saw her average 6.86 digs per set, University of Evansville redshirt senior Gabriela Macedo was named the Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week.  It is the second time Macedo has received the honor in 2019.

“Gabi has been working hard to get wins and she knows the more balls she digs the more chances we will have to score points,” Aces coach Fernando Morales said.  “She does whatever she needs to do to put us in position to win matches and she is doing a great job.”

Macedo increased her league-leading dig average to 5.79 per set as UE earned its first conference weekend road sweep since 2000.  Macedo opened the week with 16 digs, three assists and three service aces in a 3-0 sweep at Southern Illinois.

She was even better on Saturday, registering 32 digs and two more aces at Missouri State.  For the week, she averaged 6.86 digs, posting 48 over the course of seven sets.  She had five service aces and four assists.  Her season dig average is now 6th in the nation.

Her efforts helped the Aces earn their first MVC weekend road sweep since 2000.  Next up is a home weekend when UE plays host to Drake and UNI at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.  Evansville takes on the Bulldogs on Friday at 6 p.m. before welcoming the Panthers at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

BREAKING NEWS: JOBS FOR SOUTHWEST INDIANA ANNOUNCES FALL ENDORSEMENTS

0

The Jobs for Southwest Indiana Political Action Committee (JPAC) announced their endorsements for the fall elections today.

JUST IN:  Southwest Indiana Chamber created JPAC in 1996 as a separate organization to support pro-business candidates for local and state offices.  JPAC is a ten-member, bipartisan board co-chaired by a Republican and Democrat member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors. The members use long-established criteria and guidelines to determine support for candidates.

During this election cycle, the Chamber surveyed candidates in the Evansville Municipal races.  The candidate responses to a pre-determined questionnaire can be found at www.swinchamber.com.

JPAC has endorsed the following candidates in contested races:

FOR MAYOR

Mayor Lloyd Winnecke: “Mayor Winnecke has been a true champion of business in Southwest Indiana and for the City of Evansville in his tenure in office. His leadership on our new downtown environment, the Stone Family Center for Health Sciences, Mickey’s Kingdom and the coming Deaconess Aquatic Center as well as his leadership on important regional and national initiatives such as the construction of the I-69 Bridge, has made a real difference in our region’s success.  We continue our support of Lloyd Winnecke’s service as the Mayor of Evansville.”

FOR CITY COUNCIL

The City Council has authority over the regulatory climate of the City of Evansville as well as its budget.  As the center of our region, Evansville’s prosperity and quality of life matter to our businesses, our citizens, and the greater region.  JPAC supports elected leaders that ably represents the interests of their constituents as well as the needs of the larger community and welcomes candidate who demonstrates the skills to do both.

This year, Evansville is fortunate to have many worthy candidates who have stepped up to serve.  JPAC continues its support of Missy Mosby, Jonathan Weaver, and Justine Elpers; each of whom has been receptive to the initiatives we find important for a thriving business environment.  We believe the City of Evansville will be well-served by these individuals:

EVANSVILLE CITY COUNCIL – AT LARGE (3 seats)

USI gets over .500 in the GLVC with 1-0 win

0

University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer pushed its record over the .500 mark in the GLVC with a 1-0 victory over Lewis University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles see their record go to 5-5-3 overall and 5-4-2 in the GLVC, while Lewis goes to 7-5-2, 4-5-2 GLVC.

USI won a rough and tumble first half when senior forward Eric Ramirez converted a penalty kick at the 17:31 mark. Both teams had four shots, one on-goal, and four fouls each. The goal was his team-best fifth of the season.

In the second half, the Eagles’ defense took over and finished off the shutout victory. USI junior goalkeeper Justin Faas completed a weekend shutout sweep by making three saves after facing eight shots.

The GLVC weekend sweep moves the Eagles from 11th to sixth in the league standings, percentage points out of fifth with four matches to play in the 2019 regular season.

USI hits the road next week for its final road trip of the regular season with visits to Truman State University Friday at noon in Kirksville, Missouri, and Quincy University October 29 at 2:30 p.m. in Quincy, Illinois.

The Eagles have a chance to reach the .500 mark against Truman State University (5-6-2, 4-5-2 GLVC), trailing the all-time series, 9-8-3, after the 0-0 double overtime tie last year in Kirksville. USI has had the advantage over the last six years, going undefeated at 4-0-2.

Quincy (7-6-0, 5-5-0 GLVC), also leads the all-time series with USI, 17-7-2, but the Eagles have had the upper hand over the last five years, going 4-0-1 versus the Hawks. USI won at Quincy last fall, 2-0, on goals by senior midfielder Sean Rickey and Ramirez.

USI falls 6-1 in dual against Charleston

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Tennis suffered a 6-1 loss to the University of Charleston (West Virginia) Sunday evening at the Charleston Racquet Club.

Senior Lauren Hambrock (Terre Haute, Indiana) fell in the first set of her singles match 6-2. She fought back taking the next set 6-4 before eventually falling 6-0 in the third set.

The bright spot for the Eagles was Junior Lauryn Thompson (Evansville, Indiana). Thompson dropped the first set of her singles match 6-4 but came roaring back with 7-5 and 6-3 set victories in the second and third respectively.

Freshman Chole Isaac (Fairview Heights, Illinois) and Thompson picked up another victory for USI 6-2 in the doubles.

Up Next, USI will travel to Martin, Tennessee for a dual against the Skyhawks of UT-Martin on Oct. 25-26.

 

Eagles and Flyers fight to 1-1 draw

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer and Lewis University battled to a 1-1 double overtime draw in the annual Kick for the Cure Match Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. The Eagles go to 9-3-1 overall and are 7-3-1 GLVC, while Lewis is 6-5-3 overall, 4-4-3 GLVC.

USI trailed at the end of the first 45 minutes, 1-0, after allowing a goal at 15:16. A very close first half saw the Flyers lead in shots, 6-5, and shots on-goal, 3-1.

In the second half, USI dominated the match by outshooting Lewis, 9-2, and evened the score, 1-1, at 56:39 when USI junior forward Maggie Winter scored. Winter posted her team-high sixth of the season on a cross by sophomore forward Katlyn Andres. The score would remain 1-1 through the end of regulation.

The over-time saw Lewis control the chances, posting a 5-0 advantage in shots, but the Eagles’ freshman goalkeeper Maya Etienne stymied the Flyers with a pair of saves. Etienne was credited with her first career tie after making five saves and allowing one goal in 110 minutes of action.

USI hits the road next week for its final road trip of the regular season with visits to Truman State University Friday at 2:30 p.m. in Kirksville, Missouri, and Quincy University October 29 at noon in Quincy, Illinois.

The Eagles trail in the all-time series with Truman State, 7-3-1, after the Bulldogs won last fall’s meeting, 2-0, in Kirksville. The Bulldogs, who are 6-6-1 overall and 6-5-0 in the GLVC at the conclusion of this weekend, have won five of the last six meetings with the Eagles.

Quincy, which is 5-8-0 overall and 4-7-0 in the GLVC, also leads the all-time series with USI, 16-6-1, and have won the last seven matches versus the Eagles after posting a 2-1 win at Quincy last fall. USI senior midfielder Emilie Blomenkamp had the Eagles’ lone goal versus the Hawks in the loss.
