USI Cross Country Notes
• Winders captures another title. Great Lakes Valley Conference champion Titus Winders won his second consecutive NCAA II Midwest Region title on November 9. Winders, who became the fifth runner in program history to win a regional cross country championship, joins USI and GLVC Hall of Famers Jim Nolan (1982-83) and Elly Rono (1996-97) as the only runners in program history to win back-to-back regional titles.

• Eagles’ men making another trip to nationals. USI Men’s Cross Country is making its 15th straight appearance at the NCAA II Championships following a third-place effort at the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships. The Eagles, who earned an automatic bid with their regional finish, are making their 27th trip to nationals. They have recorded eight top-10 finishes at nationals, including a third-place showing in 1982 and a fifth-place finish the following season.

• USI women returning to nationals. The Eagles’ women are returning to nationals for the first time since 2016 and the 12th time in program history following a sixth-place performance at the NCAA II Midwest Region Championships. USI was one of eight NCAA II Midwest Region teams to qualify for nationals and one of five to earn an at-large bid. The Eagles have placed in the top 10 at nationals four times, including a program-best fifth-place showing at the 2016 NCAA II Championships.

• All-Region honorees. Sophomore Titus Winders garnered All-Midwest Region honors in addition to Midwest Region Runner of the Year accolades with his first-place finish at the regional meet. Junior Jennifer Comastri and senior Hope Jones were 13th and 18th, respectively, in the women’s race to earn All-Midwest Region honors.

• Double Trouble. USI Men’s and Women’s Cross Country both won Great Lakes Valley Conference titles on October 26, marking the 11th time in school history that the Eagles have captured both the men’s and women’s GLVC titles in the same year. In fact, the Eagles have now accounted for 11 of the 13 times in league history that the same school has won both the men’s and women’s crowns in the same season.

• Make that 15! USI Men’s Cross Country’s win at the GLVC Championships marked its 15th consecutive conference title and the 26th in program history. Both of those marks are league records regardless of sport.

• Eagles retake conference title. USI Women’s Cross Country returned to the top of the GLVC mountain after a brief hiatus in 2018. The Eagles, who had won seven straight GLVC titles prior to 2018, have won the conference championship 10 times in the last 12 years and a league-best 13 times overall.

• Winders named GLVC Runner of the Year. Sophomore All-American Titus Winders was named the GLVC Runner of the Year after winning his first GLVC title at the league meet. Winders, the 2018 GLVC Freshman of the Year as well as the 2018 Midwest Region Runner of the Year, is the ninth different USI men’s runner to capture a GLVC Cross Country title. USI men’s runners have won a total of 17 conference titles, including eight of the last nine. Senior Austin Nolan had won the previous two conference championships.

• All-GLVC honors handed out. In addition to Winders, USI had four men’s runners and five women’s runners earn All-Conference honors thanks to their top 15 finishes at the GLVC Championships. Nolan joined Winders in earning All-Conference honors with his fifth-place finish, while senior Nathan Hall (8th) and junior Gavin Prior (14th) rounded out the men’s All-League contingent. Junior Jennifer Comastri (5th), senior Hope Jones (6th), freshman Presley Warren (9th), junior Doriane Langlois (13th) and freshman Mckenna Cavanaugh (15th) represented USI’s women on the All-Conference team.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the rest of the federal government, released the Fall 2019 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions and Regulatory Plan (Fall Regulatory Agenda and Annual Regulatory Plan), which provides updates to the public about regulatory activity.

“EPA’s Fall Regulatory Agenda and Annual Regulatory Plan continue to advance the agency’s core mission of protecting human health and the environment through regulatory reform and modernization,” said EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler. “Under President Trump, EPA has finalized 47 deregulatory actions, saving Americans nearly $5 billion in regulatory costs. By creating a climate of regulatory certainty, we’re able to breathe new life into local economies around the country.”

EPA’s Fall Regulatory Agenda includes information on the agency’s regulatory and deregulatory activities under development within the next 12 months. The Agenda includes 56 actions that are expected to be deregulatory and 37 actions appearing for the first time.

The Annual Regulatory Plan includes EPA’s statement of regulatory priorities and additional information about 34 priority actions that the agency plans to propose or complete in the coming year. Among those are multiple actions focused on emerging contaminants, including Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). Other priority actions include the following:

  • Revised Definition of “Waters of the United States” (Step 2);
  • Oil and Gas NSPS Reconsideration; and

So What Needs to Happen?

– There are several ways the Aces can clinch a spot in the first MVC Tournament since 2008

Top Rankings

– The top four schools in that statistic are all from the Missouri Valley Conference

– Led by Gabriela Macedo’s 6.06 digs per set, the Aces average 18.37 per game

– That total is 4th in the NCAA and second in the Valley

USI is 13th in NABC poll; 15th in D2SIDA poll

 The 13th-ranked University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team wore down a pesky Ohio Valley University squad Tuesday evening for a 91-68 victory at the Screaming Eagles Arena. USI goes to 4-0 overall, while OVU is 0-4 in 2019-20.

After trading buckets and leads for the first six minutes of the game, the Eagles took command with a 13-0 run to lead 23-11 with 9:58 left in the opening half. USI junior forward Emmanuel Little, junior guard Braden Fitzjerrells, and junior forward Josh Price led the run with four points each as the Eagles hit six-of-nine from the field during the surge.

USI extended its lead to as many as 13 points, 28-15, when Little hit a jumper with 8:38 left in the opening 20 minutes. The Fighting Scots, however, were not done as they went on a 20-9 run to cut the Eagles advantage to two points, 37-35.

The Eagles rebounded in the final two minutes of the half to re-extend the lead to seven points, 45-38. Freshman guard Chance Coyle led USI offensively in the opening half with 14 points on a blistering five-of-seven from the field and three-of-five from beyond the arc.

In the second half, USI’s lead shrank to two points, 55-53, before the Eagles exploded on an 18-3 run over the next five minutes to extend the margin to 17 points, 73-56, with 8:13 remaining. Price and junior guard/forward Clayton Hughes led the explosion with six points each as the Eagles put the game on cruise control.

The Eagles would go on to lead by as many as 26 points, 89-63, before settling for the 91-68 final.

Individually, Price led five USI players in double-digits with a career-high 25 points. The junior forward, who also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds, was nine-of-14 from the field and a perfect seven-of-seven from the line,.

Little followed Price in the scoring column with 22 points on 10-of-15 from the field and two-of-two from the stripe. Coyle was next with a season-high 15 points, while senior guard Joe Laravie and Hughes rounded out the double-digit scorers with 12 points and 10 points, respectively.

USI concludes its three-game homestand November 26 when it hosts Oakland City University for a 7:30 p.m. contest. OCU is 1-3 to start the campaign after breaking its season-opening losing streak with a 96-89 win over Welch College last weekend.  The Mighty Oaks are slated to play at KWC (November 20) and at Wilberforce University (November 23) before visiting the Eagles.

The Eagles hold a 36-10 all-time record lead against Oakland City University after posting an 82-63 win at the old Physical Activities Center. USI also has won the last 13-straight over Oakland City.

Note: USI is 13th in the first National Association of Basketball Coaches Top 25 poll and 15th in the first D2SIDA Top 25 poll that was released today. The Eagles were as high as 13th in the preseason polls.
