HANCEVILLE, Ala. – The Vincennes University volleyball team had an excellent start to the weekend slate Friday night, winning over NJCAA Division II No. 12 Enterprise State C.C. 25-27, 26-24, 25-16, 25-22 before closing out the night against Snead State C.C. 25-19, 28-26, 25-14 at the 2024 Wallace State C.C. Fall Bash.

Vincennes opened their weekend against a very tough, nationally ranked Enterprise State team from Enterprise, Ala.

VU was able to rebound after dropping the first set to the Boll Weevils and close out the match in four sets 25-27, 26-24, 25-16, 25-22.

Sophomore Isadora Dias (Rio Grande de Norte, Brazil) led the way for the Blazers offensively with 14 kills, nine digs, two blocks and a pair of aces.

Sophomores Laura Tavares (Merida, Venezuela) and Elisa Dalla Pozza (Vincenza, Italy) followed this lead with seven kills each, with Tavares adding three blocks, two digs and an ace, while Dalla Pozza shined defensively with a team-high seven blocks to go along with two aces and one dig.

Freshmen Martyna Sadowska (Pila, Poland) and Paulina Fister (Tuszyn, Poland) also had big games for the Blue and Gold with Sadowska adding five kills, six blocks and one dig and Fister recording four kills, 12 digs and one block.

Sophomore setter Libby Mehringer (Jasper, Ind.) continues to control the VU offense with 18 set assists, six digs and three kills, while fellow sophomore setter Dylan DeCoursey (Montgomery, Ind.) added 13 set assists and seven digs.

Sophomore Allison Czyzewski (Louisville, Ill.) got in on the block party at the net in the first match of the day with three blocks and one dig.

Sophomore libero Grace Flexter (Oblong, Ill.) controlled the VU back row defense with a team-high 15 digs and six set assists.

Freshman Karen Kodi (West Carrollton, Ohio) rounded out the VU box score, recording one dig on the night.

“What a big win for us and what a big comeback,” VUVB Head Coach Gary Sien said. “We had a very hard time stopping their middle, so we put Laura in there to block. Talk about a game changer. They were not as effective attacking there as before.”

“Our serving game was effective in taking their middle attack out as well and the block picked up too,” Sien added. “After a slow start, our offense kick in and found ways to put the ball on the floor.”

Coffee Creek Farmers Market is a weekday farmers market (Wednesdays from 3 to 7 p.m.). Its mission is to promote and develop a local sustainable food system.

Indiana Grown Director Caroline Patrick is excited for the Chesterton community.

“Coffee Creek is a wonderful farmers market and this recognition is well deserved,” said Patrick. “Farmers markets are an integral part of Indiana communities’ economies. We were thrilled to have so many great nominations for farmers markets and it is great to see consumers supporting them.”

Use new dashboard to compare health care prices, quality

Use new dashboard to compare health care prices, quality 

You likely compare prices before buying a car, home or other major purchases, so why not medical care? Now, you can use the state’s newly launched All-Payer Claims Database to compare healthcare prices and quality, so you can make more informed decisions.

[Click here to get started or visit apcd.idoi.in.gov.]  In 2020, I supported a law establishing the Indiana All-Payer Claims Database, which is overseen by the Indiana Department of Insurance, to help increase transparency in healthcare costs.

The new website collects insurance claims data from public and private health care payers to track the cost, utilization and quality of health care across the state.
