UE Game At Kentucky To Be Televised By SEC Network

Aces Make First Trip To Rupp Arena in November

For the second time, the University of Evansville men’s basketball program will be featured on the SEC Network when the Purple Aces face the University of Kentucky on Tuesday, November 12.

UE makes its first trip to Rupp Arena to take on the Wildcats in what will be a 7 p.m. ET tip.  The SEC Network will have live coverage of the contest.  It is the second appearance on the network for the Aces.  Evansville was featured on the network in 2015 when the team took on Arkansas in Fayetteville.

“This is an excellent opportunity for our program in every way possible,” Aces head coach Walter McCarty said.  “To have the chance to play against a program like Kentucky and be featured on the SEC Network are both things that will increase the visibility of our program and help us to continue moving in the right direction.”

The Aces have officially started practicing for the 2019-20 campaign.  UE faces USI in an exhibition contest on October 28 before opening the home schedule on November 9 versus Ball State in a 6 p.m. game.

Juenger named GLVC Offensive Player of the Week

0

University of Southern Indiana junior defender Madelyne Juenger (Columbia, Illinois) was named the GLVC Women’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week after helping the Eagles a weekend sweep in league action. The Player of the Week Award is the first of Juenger’s career.

Juenger started the week by assisting on the match-winning goal versus Lindenwood University, before finishing the weekend’s league action with a goal in the 6-0 shutout of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. She tied for the team lead offensively last week with three points on the goal and assist.

The junior defender also led the USI defense that posted its fourth and fifth shutouts of the season. Juenger and the USI defensive back line limited Lindenwood and UMSL to 13 total shots on-goal for the weekend.

Juenger and the Eagles (5-2-0, 3-2-0 GLVC) return to action this week on the road when they travel to Southwest Baptist University October 4 for a 3:30 p.m. match in Bolivar, Missouri, and Drury University October 6 for a noon match in Springfield, Missouri. The USI trip Southwest Baptist and Drury is the start of a four-match road swing to the Show-Me State.

Melanie Feliciano earns third MVC Freshman of the Week award

0

Feliciano paces the MVC in kills once again

 

ST. LOUIS – A great start to Missouri Valley Conference play saw Melanie Feliciano earn MVC Freshman of the Week honors for the third time in four weeks when she averaged 5.75 kills per set to lead the University of Evansville to a weekend split.

“Melanie does not act or play like a freshman,” Purple Aces coach Fernando Morales said.  “She keeps getting better and better every day and it is not by chance – she has worked for it.”

Aside from her kill tally, Feliciano led the team hitting.279 in the two matches in Iowa.  In the opener against the Panthers, Feliciano led the team with 22 kills and two block assists.  She added 14 digs as the Aces gave the Panthers all they could handle in a 3-1 match.

On Saturday, Feliciano hit an impressive .389 with 24 kills in 54 tried to lead Evansville to a 3-1 road win over Drake.  She added nine digs, an ace and block.  Her season total of 4.84 kills/game has her back in front in the MVC ahead of a tie between teammate Rachel Tam and Karlie Taylor of UNI.

Feliciano was the league’s Freshman of the Week on two other occasions in 2019 – September 9 and 16.

Faas named GLVC Defensive Player of the Week

0

University of Southern Indiana junior goalkeeper Justin Faas (Carmel, Indiana) was named the GLVC Men’s Soccer Defensive Player of the Week after leading the Screaming Eagles to a pair of victories last week. The award is the first of the year for Faas and the third of his career.

Faas started the week by posting a shutout over Lindenwood University and led the Eagles to their first victory of the season. He faced 13 shots and made five saves in the win.

The week concluded with Faas posting a second shutout, a 2-0 victory over the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Faas blanked the Tritons with four saves after facing nine total attacks.

Overall for the week, Faas had a 0.00 goals against average, made nine saves, and recorded a pair of shutouts. The junior goalkeeper has 10 career shutouts, moving into fifth all-time at USI and three away from fourth.

Faas and the Eagles (2-3-2, 2-2-1 GLVC) return to action this week on the road when they travel to Southwest Baptist University October 4 for a 1 p.m. match in Bolivar, Missouri, and Drury University October 6 for a 2:30 p.m. match in Springfield, Missouri. The USI trip Southwest Baptist and Drury is the start of a four-match road swing to the Show-Me State.
