USI’s Winders claims GLVC weekly honor

0
University of Southern Indiana sophomore All-American Titus Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Cross Country Runner of the Week following his effort at the Lewis University Crossover this past Saturday.

Winders battled cold, windy and wet conditions to finish fourth out of 423 competitors with an eight-kilometer time of 25 minutes, 17.0 seconds. His helped the No. 8 Screaming Eagles to a fourth-place finish in a 34-team field that featured 10 nationally-ranked programs.

The weekly honor marks the second GLVC Runner of the Week award for the Eagles this year and the second of Winders’ career. Senior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana), who was 19th at the Lewis Crossover, earned GLVC Runner of the Week honors two weeks ago, while Winders last claimed the honor to end the 2018 regular-season.

Winders, who also is the last GLVC Runner of the Week honoree for the 2019 season, also was named the GLVC Indoor Track Athlete of the Week last December.

USI returns to action October 26 when it hosts the GLVC Championships at Angel Mounds. The Eagles are in search of their 15th straight conference title.

In celebration of Children’s Health Month, EPA releases America’s Children and the Environment report and booklet

0

Protecting children’s health by minimizing environmental impacts on children is a high priority for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). EPA researchers are working to stay ahead of emerging children’s environmental health challenges by providing data and information on the environment and children’s health. In collaboration with partners, EPA researchers are leading interdisciplinary, novel research that holistically considers the complex interactions that link the environment to children’s health and well-being. In celebration of Children’s Health Month, EPA is releasing the updated 2019 America’s Children and the Environment Indicators Report and a corresponding booklet that highlights a selection of the indicators that were updated in 2019 with newly available data.

“In conjunction with Children’s Health Month, EPA is releasing its first update of America’s Children and the Environment since 2013,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “This booklet provides the latest data for EPA and the public on the progress we’ve made to protect our nation’s children, such as reducing the median concentration of lead in the blood of children between the ages of 1 and 5 years by 95 percent from 1976 to 2016.”

Background

The 2019 America’s Children and the Environment Indicators Report presents data on children and environmental health, bringing together information from a variety of sources to provide national children’s environmental health indicators.

Environmental contaminants can affect children differently than adults, both because children may be more highly exposed to contaminants and because they are often more vulnerable to the effects of contaminants. This report is motivated by EPA’s belief that the public should be made aware of trends in children’s environmental health.

The purpose of America’s Children and the Environment is to compile – and make available to a broad audience – information that can help identify areas that warrant additional attention, potential issues of concern, and persistent problems. EPA hopes that the development and presentation of these indicators will motivate continuing research, additional data collection and, when appropriate, necessary interventions.

USI Women’s Hoops picked to finish 4th in GLVC

0

Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Basketball coaches have predicted a fourth-place finish for University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball in 2019-20 according to the GLVC Preseason Coaches’ Poll, which was released this afternoon.

USI, which has finished in the top three of the GLVC regular-season standings in each of the last three years, received 178 points in the poll. Defending league champion Drury University was a unanimous choice to win the league in 2019-20, while Lewis University and Bellarmine University were picked to finish second and third, respectively, with 190 and 181 points.

League newcomer Lindenwood University rounded out the top five picks with 175 points, while Maryville University (1 first-place vote) and Truman State University were each picked to finish in a tie for sixth.

The top 10 teams were rounded out by McKendree University (119 points), the University of Missouri-St Louis (102 points) and William Jewell College (89 points), while the University of Indianapolis (87 points), Southwest Baptist University (74 points), Rockhurst University (71 points), Missouri University of Science & Technology (50 points), the University of Illinois Springfield (41 points) and Quincy University (20 points) rounded out the predictions.

USI, one of two GLVC teams positioned in the Women’s Division II Bulletin Preseason Top 25 poll, went 20-9 overall and 13-5 in league play a year ago. In the last three years, USI has gone 70-19 overall and 45-9 in the GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles return five players from the 2018-19 campaign, including a pair of starters in senior guard Ashley Johnson (Louisville, Kentucky) and junior guard Emma DeHart(Indianapolis, Indiana).

DeHart was fourth on the team in scoring a year ago with 9.6 points per game, while Johnson was fifth with 9.1 points per contest.

Also returning for the Eagles is senior guard/forward Morgan Sherwood (Charleston, Illinois), 6-foot-4 junior center Audrey Turner (Fishers, Indiana) and sophomore forward Ashlynn Brown(Perrysburg, Ohio).

Sherwood battled injury a year ago after playing an important role off the bench as a sophomore during USI’s run to the 2018 NCAA II Tournament. Turner saw her role off the bench expand a year ago and figures to continue that expansion into the 2019-20 season; while Brown averaged 3.1 points per game despite playing just 8.5 minutes per game as a freshman in 2018-19.

USI welcomes six newcomers into the fold in 2019-20, including 5-foot-9 senior guard Kiara Moses (Urbana, Illinois) and 6-foot-1 junior forward Chyna Anthony (New Albany, Indiana).

Moses averaged 4.3 points per game as a junior for Arkansas Tech University a year ago after racking up 152 assists and 131 steals as a sophomore at Kankakee Community College during her sophomore year in 2017-18. Anthony played in 22 games during her first two years of collegiate basketball at Division I Northern Kentucky University.

The Eagles’ freshman class includes 5-foot-4 guard Addy Blackwell (Bloomington, Indiana), 6-foot-0 forwards Hannah Haithcock (Washington Courthouse, Ohio) and Tara Robbe (Wildwood, Missouri), and 5-foot-11 guard/forward Lexi Thompson (Lafayette, Indiana).

Blackwell was a two-time All-State honoree at Bloomington South High School, while Haithcock was a first-team Division II All-Ohio performer after averaging 17 points per game as a senior at Washington High School.

Robbe was a three-time All-Conference and All-District honoree at Lafayette High School (Missouri), where she averaged 15.3 points and 6.5 rebounds per game as a senior in 2018-19. Thompson was an All-Hoosier Conference honoree after averaging 13.1 throughout her four years at Lafayette Central Catholic High School (Indiana).

USI opens the 2019-20 exhibition season October 30 when it travels to Lexington, Kentucky, to take on the University of Kentucky. The Eagles, who also visit Purdue University for an exhibition November 3, begin the regular-season November 13 when they host the University of Central Missouri in the first-ever collegiate basketball game at Screaming Eagles Arena.

USI holds off Christian Brothers to capture Don Morris Invitational title

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s golf team finished first of eight teams on Tuesday at the Don Morris Invitational, hosted by Union University.

USI posted a strong 288 in round one Monday eleven strokes better than the next best team, giving the Eagles the tournament lead heading into Tuesday morning.
The Eagles held off Christian Brothers to ultimately capture their first team victory of the fall season.

Sophomore Zach Williams (Mt.Vernon Illinois) led the way with a tied-for-first finish for the Eagles as he carded a 70 and 72 for a two-under-par for the tournament. Williams was edged out by Jaime Jalve of Bethel University in a one-hole playoff to narrowly miss his first collegiate victory.
Senior K.O. Taylor (Madisonville, Kentucky) rounded out the top five individuals with a respectable four-over-par for the tournament.

Junior Nate Caudle (Wayne City, Illinois) also landed inside the top ten nabbing tied-for-sixth place with an eight-over-par tournament total. Caudle led the tournament field after posting an opening round three-under-par 69 which was also the best individual round for USI.

Up next, with the fall season for Eagles concluding Tuesday, USI will shift their focus to the spring season in the upcoming months.

USI takes sixth at the Music City Invitational

0

The University of Southern Indiana women’s golf team came away from the Music City Invitational with a sixth-place finish Tuesday afternoon at the Old Fort Golf Club. The Screaming Eagles posted rounds of 314 and 303 in the two-day, 13-team tournament hosted by Trevecca Nazarene University.

Junior Brooke Moser (Leo, Indiana) led the way for the Eagles after posting back-to-back rounds of 74 for a four-over effort. Moser’s 148 total performance landed the junior eighth out of the 72 participants.

The Eagles notched two top-40 finishers to follow Moser. Junior Kiley Swisher (Williamsport, Indiana) and sophomore Hannah Herma (Demotte, Indiana) posted totals of 153 (+9) and 157 (+13), respectively. Herma’s second-round card of 75 and Swisher’s second-round 76 both represent their respective low-rounds of the 2019-20 season.

Senior Abbey Leighty (Mt. Carmel, Illinois) and freshman Kelci Katterhenry (Newburgh, Indiana) rounded-out the five Eagles on the trip with totals of 159 (+15) and 162 (+18), respectively.

USI Women’s Golf closes the fall schedule on Monday when it visits the Fair Oaks Golf Club for the McKendree Fall Intercollegiate.

CAN-AM LEAGUE AND FRONTIER LEAGUE ANNOUNCE HISTORIC MERGER

CAN-AM LEAGUE AND FRONTIER LEAGUE ANNOUNCE HISTORIC MERGER

New Alliance Will Create The Largest Independent League in Professional Baseball

Starting in 2020, The 14-Team League Will Play A 96 Game Schedule

WASHINGTON, Pa – Today the Can-Am League and the Frontier League are announcing a historic merger resulting in the creation of the largest league in all of Independent Professional Baseball. The newly formed Frontier League will begin to play in 2020 with a soon to be revealed 96-game schedule spanning from mid-May through September.

The all-new league will be comprised of all five Can-Am League organizations and nine members of the Frontier League, totaling 14 clubs in two divisions. The former Can-Am League clubs – including the New Jersey Jackals, Quebec Capitales, Rockland Boulders, Sussex County Miners and Trois Rivieres Aigles – along with the Washington Wild Things and Lake Erie Crushers of the Frontier League will play in the Can-Am Division. The Midwestern Division will consist of the Evansville Otters, Florence Freedom, Gateway Grizzlies, Joliet Slammers, Schaumburg Boomers, Southern Illinois Miners, and the Windy City ThunderBolts.

“I couldn’t be more proud of everyone’s efforts behind making this historic merger a reality,” Can-Am League Chairman of the Board Al Dorso said. “It’s been a long time coming and yet the final stages came together overnight. I can’t wait for what will be our first Frontier League meetings as we implement our vision of fostering exciting baseball and expansion into new markets.” 

Through this groundbreaking pact, the Frontier League will bring together strong ownership groups, teams, and facilities from each league. Plus the league will feature some of the longest-running teams in the industry’s history. The Evansville Otters began to play in 1995 and the New Jersey Jackals were born in 1998. Plus several major markets will be well represented through this landmark accord such as New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Quebec City, and St. Louis. As a result, the newly formed association will be an even more attractive beacon for cultivating and developing professional baseball talent.

“It has been my honor to be a part of this groundbreaking deal and I can’t thank all parties involved enough for getting us to this historic moment,” Can-Am League Executive Director Kevin Winn said. “I look forward to seeing where our newly formed alliance heads next and all the Independent Professional Baseball history that’s yet to be written.”

Frontier League Commissioner, Bill Lee, who has held that position since 1994, will continue in that role. He states, “I am extremely excited about this merger announcement. Not only does it strengthen the Frontier League, but it strengthens Independent Professional Baseball as a whole. I want to thank everyone from both Leagues that have worked so hard to make this happen.”

The oldest Independent Professional Baseball League in the country, the Frontier League began to play in 1993 and just finished its 27th consecutive season. Over this remarkable span, more than 1000 players have been sold to MLB teams and 38 of those players have advanced to play in Major League Baseball.

The Can-Am League’s predecessor was the Northeast League that began play in 1995. Prior to the 2005 season, the Can-Am League name was officially adopted. During these years, 137 players have been sold to MLB clubs and 16 of them played in Major League Baseball. In addition, two Can-Am League umpires have reached the Majors.
