Evansville Rescue Mission to Host Eighth Annual Drumstick Dash to Benefit its 97th Annual Gobbler Gathering

The Evansville Rescue Mission’s seventh annual Drumstick Dash presented by TWO MEN AND A TRUCK and TOWNSQUARE MEDIA will kick off Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 8 a.m. It will consist of either an 8K or a 5K mile run/walk.

The Evansville Rescue Mission is tremendously excited to have its eighth annual Drumstick Dash to start and finish at the C.K.

The Rescue Mission is expecting to field nearly 1,000 runners and walkers for the eighth annual Drumstick Dash where participants will have a chance to win a free frozen turkey and a commemorative Drumstick Dash medal and to choose from a variety of food court options.

Proceeds of the Drumstick Dash will offset the Rescue Mission’s annual Gobbler Gathering, which will be held ten days later on Tuesday, November 26th at the Old National Events Plaza (715 E. Locust St., Evansville, IN 47708) where more than 2,300 Tri-State families will be able to receive a Thanksgiving food basket filled with enough food to last through Thanksgiving.

The Drumstick Dash is extremely grateful for the following sponsors who have entrusted the Evansville Rescue Mission to feed literally thousands of Tri-State families through the Gobbler Gathering: TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, Old National Events Plaza, Atlas World Group, TRH Mortgage, Phil Stoll Construction,  Packaging Corporation of America The Hills Church, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, FC Tucker-Briscoe, Berry Global, Deaconess Hospital, Head’s Construction, Solarbron, Old National Bank, Shoe Carnival, Saint Vincent Evansville, 517 Fitness Brewer Direct, Inc., and Zycor Pest Control.

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer advances to the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship game after posting a 3-0 shutout of Rockhurst University Friday morning at Woehrle Athletics Complex in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The seventh-seeded Screaming Eagles go to 12-6-1 overall, while third-seeded Rockhurst bows out of the league tournament at 14-5-0.

The Eagles will be playing in the GLVC Tournament championship game for the first time program history at 11 a.m. (CST) Sunday in Jeffersonville. USI will play the winner of top-seeded McKendree University (14-3-2) and fifth-seeded Bellarmine University (12-4-3). The full GLVC Tournament information can be found on GLVCsports.com.

USI got on the scoreboard early when junior forward Maggie Winter put the Eagles up 1-0 on a goal at 17:48. The goal was Winter’s seventh of the season, tying her for the team lead with sophomore forward Katlyn Andres, and was assisted on by senior defender Loryn Willis.

The 1-0 lead would hold through the intermission before Andres made the score 2-0 with her eighth goal of the season to regain the team lead at 67:11 of the second half. Junior forward Audrey Andrzejewski completed the scoring with the third goal of the game at 73:08 off a cross by Andres.

USI freshman goalkeeper Maya Etienne made the three goals stand up as she posted her single-season record 10th shutout of the season. She breaks the record held by Angie Gries (9) that has stood since the 1998 season. Etienne finished the match by recording nine saves against the 18 total shots. .

Aces earn 89-71 win over IU Kokomo

0

Williams posts first double-double

 Sophomore DeAndre Williams recorded the first double-double of his University of Evansville career to lift the Purple Aces men’s basketball team to an 89-71 win over IU Kokomo on Thursday at the Ford Center.

Williams finished the night with 23 points and a personal-best 13 boards.  He was 9-for-14 from the line.  Artur Labinowicz had his top game at UE (3-0), posting 21 points.  He was an efficient 7/8 from the field, 2/3 from outside and 5/6 from the line.  John Hall also got the job done in every way, notching 16 points, six rebounds and a block.

“It was a classic trap game and we were able to get the win; we competed and did some good things,” Aces head coach Walter McCarty said.  “It has been a crazy few days, but our guys competed and stayed the course.  I want our guys to be focused on every single detail because if you make that many mistakes against SMU, you will not beat them.”

The Cougars (6-2) saw Trequan Spivey tally 18 points while Akil McClain scored 14 and Allante Harper scored 11.

IU Kokomo had a nice start, jumping out to a 5-2 lead in the opening minutes.  Evansville did not waste any time coming back, posting six in a row with DeAndre Williams scoring twice and Noah Frederking adding a layup.  The Cougars continued to play well, tying it up at 10-10 before the triples started to fall for the Aces.  John Hall hit two in a row; his second breaking a 13-13 tie and give the Aces the lead for good.

A Williams trey on the break made it a 19-15 game at the 12:25 mark.  After IU Kokomo got within a pair at 22-20, Evansville began to take control of the game.  An 8-0 run saw the lead reach double figures for the first time.  Freshman Marcus Henderson drained two triples to cap off the run.

Sam Cunliffe found his groove.  With just under five minutes, he hit consecutive baskets to push the lead to 40-26.  Three free throws from Artur Labinowicz in the final seconds pushed the lead to a game-high 18 points at 52-34 before three IUK free throws made it a 52-37 game at the break.

Williams had a game-high 15 points at the break while Hall and Labinowicz also reached double figures.

Evansville continued to pad its lead in the second half.  After the Cougars got within 15 tallies, Williams found Labinowicz on a picture perfect feed for a layup that made it a 60-41 game at the 16-minute mark.  Shamar Givance helped the lead reach 20 (67-47) for the first time with 14:24 remaining

The lead for UE hovered around 20, but with 4:14 remaining, the Cougars got as close as 14 points (77-63) thanks to three Akil McClain free throws.  The Aces fended off the challenge, scoring the next eight to take an 85-63 lead before finishing the night with an 89-71 victory.  Labinowicz and Hall added triples to push the lead back out and avoid IU Kokomo getting any closer.

“Coach wants us to celebrate what we did, but we had to keep the identity that we had against Kentucky every single night,” Labinowicz explained.  “We are trying to be the same team every night that we were against Kentucky.”

After shooting 59.4% in the first half, the Aces finished the night at 51.6%.  IU Kokomo finished at 38.4%.  Evansville took the rebounding battle by a 45-38 total including 34-25 on the defensive glass.  With just a 48-hour turnaround since defeating #1 Kentucky, the Aces got the job done on Thursday and John Hall credited his teammates for their attitudes going into the game.

“After the other night, we celebrated just as much as everyone else, but after that, we let it go,” he said.  “We came back the next day and started preparing for tonight.  We just moved on.  It is only game three, we have done a lot so far.  What we did a few days ago would not have mattered at all if we came out and lost tonight, we knew we had to be locked in.”
