Food Waste is Among the Topics for this Year’s Projects

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – as part of its People, Prosperity and the Planet (P3) Award Program – is now seeking applications proposing to research, develop, design, and demonstrate solutions to real-world challenges. The P3 program is a unique competition open to teams of college/university students working to design solutions toward the mutual goals of improved quality of life, economic prosperity, and protection of the planet – people, prosperity, and the planet.

The EPA offers the P3 competition to respond to the needs of people in the United States —including those in small, rural, tribal and/or disadvantaged communities.

Fall Foliage For Wesselman Woods Nature And Burdette Park

0

Wesselman Woods Nature Preserve

The largest old-growth urban forest in the United States is in the heart of the city and it offers some of the best views of fall foliage in Evansville. But what makes it truly special is the nearly 5 miles of trails you can walk throughout the nature preserve.
You’ll pass under canopies created by the trees and over bridges scattered with fallen leaves. It will be hard to believe you’re on our city’s bustling east side and not in one of our country’s most famed national forests.

Burdette Park

Is the west side the best side for taking in the fall foliage? Fans of Burdette Park would answer yes, and you probably would too after spending the day taking in the 180-acres of scenic rolling hills.
But why just stay for the day? Wind down with an overnight getaway at one of the park’s chalets or full hook up sites for RVs. Some adventurers even choose to pitch a tent and camp overnight, enjoying the spectacular views from sunrise to sunset.

Eagles cede GLVC home-opener to Drury, 3-0

0

The University of Southern Indiana volleyball team dropped its Great Lakes Valley Conference home opener to Drury University Friday night in three sets, 20-25, 23-25 and 18-25. The Screaming Eagles (7-8, 1-2 GLVC) return to the Screaming Eagles Arena Saturday to host Southwest Baptist University at 3 p.m.

USI was held to a hitting clip of .039, though 19 of the Eagles’ 27 errors on the attack were self-inflicted. Conversely, the Panthers (9-7, 3-0 GLVC) scraped together a .216 hitting percentage en route to 40 kills to USI’s 32.

Three Eagles reached double-figures in digs to slow down the Drury attack: freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois), senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana) and freshman libero/defensive specialist Audrey Crowder (Avon, Indiana).

First Set: Drury 25, USI 20

Junior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) and senior middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) kept the Panthers’ attack at bay posting three and two blocks, respectively. Anderson led the back row effort with seven of USI’s 22 digs in the frame. Drury was held to just a .114 attack rate thanks to the combined effort.

The Eagles opened the match with their lowest hitting clip of any set, negative .065, after mustering only eight kills as a unit. Anderson led the way with three kills in the frame, followed by Coleman and freshman right side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) with two each.

Second Set: Drury 25, USI 23

Coleman took a step forward in the second frame to keep things tight, posting four kills, a service ace, and a solo block. Koch’s three kills supplemented the push while making her the fourth Eagle to reach 100 kills so far this season.

The Panthers attack captured the momentum in large part to an eight-kill effort from Regan Dennis in the second set while also committing just one error.

Third Set: Drury 25, USI 18

Stose righted the ship in the third frame to lead USI with three kills on eight attempts after posting a negative .176 hitting clip through two. She also led the Eagles with five digs, followed by Crowder and Anderson with four each.

Three Eagles closed the contest with three blocks each: Coleman, Cepicky and senior middle blocker Amanda Jung (Belleville, Illinois). USI, however, was out-blocked as a unit 8-7.

Koch wound up leading the USI attack with eight kills in the match after keeping pace with Stose in the third frame. Coleman and Anderson followed with six apiece.

Anderson’s 16 digs fell one short of tying her season high from her collegiate debut; Crowder’s 10 digs come just two matches from her season-high 13 digs at William Jewell College last weekend.

Up Next

USI Volleyball returns to the Screaming Eagles Arena Saturday at 3 p.m. to take on the Bearcats of Southwest Baptist.

The Eagles will then hit the road to face GLVC travel partner McKendree University Tuesday before returning to Evansville to host another conference weekend.

Aces remain undefeated at home with 3-2 win over Valpo

0

UE ready for Loyola on Saturday

 The undefeated home streak for the University of Evansville volleyball team in 2019 continued as the Purple Aces showed the heart of a champion as they earned a 3-2 win over Valparaiso on Friday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

UE (12-3, 3-1 MVC) improved its mark to a perfect 6-0 at home this season.  Four of the Aces six home wins have come in five sets. The win gave Evansville its third win in four matches to begin the MVC schedule; it is the first 3-1 start for UE since the 2006 season.

“We were expecting them to be very good defensively and that is exactly what kind of match this turned out to be.  It is great to pull off this victory,” UE coach Fernando Morales said.  “The girls have had a lot going this week with classwork and to be able to see them fight through that against a good opponent is a positive sign.  We have a lot of confidence heading into tomorrow’s match.”

Freshman Melanie Feliciano led everyone with 21 kills; she has recorded at least 20 in all four MVC matches so far.  Rachel Tam had 15 while Alondra Vazquez registered 14.  Gabriela Macedo led the defense with 33 digs while Vazquez notched 14 and Allana McInnis finished the night with 13.  McInnis dished out 53 assists.  Hannah Watkins continued to rack up the blocks, totaling five block assists in the win.

Valparaiso (5-12, 0-3 MVC) was led by Jillie Grant’s 16 kills and Brittany Anderson’s 58 assists.  As a team, the Crusaders had 34 block assists with Anderson and Peyton McCarthy posting nine apiece.

Evansville found its early success in its serving, posting three aces on its way to a 10-3 lead.  Gabriela Macedo, Cecilia Thon and Laura Ruiz had one apiece for UE.  The early lead reached as many as seven at 10-3, but the Crusaders hung around, getting within three at 19-16.  A block assist by Rachel Tam and Hannah Watkins helped UE go back up by seven at 24-17, but Valparaiso had one more stand as they posted the next six tallies to make it a 24-23 game.  UE fended off the challenge and scored the winning points on a VU error.

Melanie Feliciano posted a pair of kills to give Evansville a 4-2 lead before the Crusaders made their way back, taking their first lead of the night at 6-5.  They added to it midway through the set, extending their advantage to 19-11.  A kill by Tam ended the stretch, but the Crusaders managed to take the set by a 25-18 final and tie the match.

Feliciano added two early kills in the third frame as UE posted the first four points before opening up a 10-3 lead.  Valparaiso responded with a 7-1 run that made it an 11-10 game before a block by Patricia Joseph and Allana McInnis temporarily ended the stretch.  The Crusaders kept fighting back and managed to tie it up at 14-14.  UE regained a 2-point lead, but VU tied it back up at 18-18 and took the lead at 22-21.  Evansville rallied back for a 25-22 win.  An Elena Redmond ace along with kills from Watkins and Vazquez clinched the win and a 2-1 lead.

                                                                                                                                  It was the Crusaders who had the early momentum in the fourth set, grabbing an 8-2 advantage.  They continued to hold the lead at 10-4 when the Aces staged a rally.  Back-to-back Tam kills, coupled with an ace from McInnis helped UE get back within a point at 10-9, but VU pushed their lead back to three at 15-12.  After UE rallied once again to tie it up at 15, Valpo staged a run of their own, scoring the next four.  Still down four at 21-17, Evansville never gave up as another ace from McInnis made it a 21-20 contest, but the Crusaders finished with a 25-22 win to force a fifth and deciding game.

UE scored seven of the first nine points to open up the lead before Valparaiso cut the gap to just a pair at 7-5.  Tam got UE back on track with her 13th kill of the night before Vazquez added one of her own to make it a 10-6 game.  Valparaiso got within a pair (11-9) before Feliciano took over in the final moments.  She finished off the match with three consecutive kills as the Aces won by a 15-9 final.

“We won tonight because of our fight; we did not play our best, but in the end, we fought,” Morales added.  “If not for the fight that we showed, we would not have won this match.”

Tomorrow evening, the Aces are back home to face Loyola in a 5 p.m. match.
