Volleyball Treks North To Warrior Invitational

0

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball is on the road for its second of three consecutive tournament-weekends to start the 2019 season this week. The Screaming Eagles will compete in the Warrior Invitational, hosted by Wayne State University, in Detroit.

The Eagles face four matches in two days during their stay; USI battles fellow Great Lakes Valley Conference member, University of Missouri-St. Louis (11:15 a.m.), and Malone University (3:45 p.m.) on Friday; Ursuline College (8 a.m.) and the host, Wayne State (12:30 p.m.), on Saturday. All times listed in Central Daylight Time.

The Road Ahead – The Warrior Invitational

About the Tritons: Missouri-St. Louis has opened its 2019 season with its first 4-0 start in over 20 years, sweeping the S&T Tournament last weekend. The Tritons finished the 2018 season 14-15 (7-11 GLVC), tying Missouri University of Science & Technology for ninth in the conference standings.

USI v. UMSL: The Eagles hold a four-match advantage over the Tritons with a 22-18 record in the all-time series. The two programs have been deadlocked over the past decade-plus, splitting their last 16 meetings dating back to the start of the 2006 season.

About the Pioneers: Malone took one of four matches at the Eckerd College Invitational last weekend, a four-set battle with the host, Eckerd. The Pioneers went 16-16 in 2018, but posted a 12-7 record in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference before falling to the University of Findlay in the opening round of the GMAC championship tournament.

USI v. Malone: The Eagles and Pioneers have met only twice, splitting their two meetings. Malone evened the series last season when the Eagles visited the Hall of Fame City Challenge, hosted by the Pioneers.

About the Arrows: Ursuline College has stumbled out of the gate with an 0-3 record in 2019 following the Daemen College Tournament last weekend. The Arrows went 12-17 (8-11 GMAC) a year ago, but managed a GMAC championship tournament berth, only to be ousted by Hillsdale College.

USI v. Ursuline: Saturday’s meeting will be the first between the Eagles and Arrows. USI went 3-1 against GMAC squads last season (Loss: Malone; Wins: Kentucky Wesleyan College, Ohio Valley University, Ohio Dominican University), while Ursuline fell to GLVC members Missouri S&T and Maryville University in 2018.

About the Warriors: Wayne State of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference hosts the Warrior Invitational holding a 3-1 record so far in 2019. The Warriors notably defeated McKendree University in four sets to open their campaign. In 2018, Wayne State went 15-13 (10-6 GLIAC), though it went 1-4 against GLVC opponents.

USI v. Wayne State: The Warriors hold a 3-1 advantage in the all-time series that started back in 2009. All three meetings since the start of the 2011 season have come at the Midwest Region Crossover (Formerly GLVC/GLIAC Crossover), in which every match went at least four sets. USI claimed a 3-1 victory in the most-recent meeting in 2015.

How We Got Here – The Capital Classic

USI returned to Evansville with a 1-2 record from the Capital Classic, including a three-set knockout of the University of Charleston. The Eagles dropped a five-setter to Winona State University to open play Friday, before falling to the host University of Illinois Springfield in three sets on Saturday.

Freshman outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois) burst onto the collegiate scene with a 19-kill, 17-dig performance in the loss to Winona. The career-opening double-double led Anderson to finish the weekend with 38 kills, 23 digs and three blocks.

Senior middle hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) made her presence known at the net, taking home 29 kills, a .431 hitting percentage and 10 blocks from the Classic. The fourth-year starter collected six blocks against Winona State, one shy of the career-high set in her sophomore season.

Freshman right side hitter Katherine Koch (Belleville, Illinois) went stride-for-stride with Coleman at the Classic as she collected 26 kills and six blocks, along with six service aces. Koch opened her first-year campaign with a pair of double-digit performances on the attack, including a 10-1-15 attack line against Charleston.

Junior setter Casey Cepicky (St. Louis, Missouri) and senior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana) were each one dig shy of double-doubles themselves against Winona State; Cepicky racked up 45 assists on USI’s 52 kills, 11 of which coming at the hand of Stose.

Week 2 Eagle Notes: 

Eagles start the year 0-1-1: The Eagles started slow in 2019, posting a 2-1 loss at Northern Michigan University and a 3-3 double-overtime tie at Northwood University.

The offense has big day versus Northwood: After scoring a single tally in the loss to NMU, USI found its offensive stride in the 3-3 tie with Northwood, scoring once in the first and rallied to tie the score twice in the second half. Junior forward Graham Miller finished the weekend with a team-high three points on one goal and one assist, while junior defender Justin Raines, sophomore midfielder Ryan Nevins, and sophomore defender Colten Walsh has two points each, all three adding one goal.

USI versus McKendree: USI leads the all-time series with McKendree, 7-4-2, after posting a 2-1 road win in 2018. The Eagles have won the last two meetings, but are .500 (2-2-1) against the Bearcats in the last five years.

The Bearcats in 2019: McKendree started the year 1-1-0 after losing to nationally-ranked Saginaw Valley State University, 2-0, and defeating Oakland City University, 3-0, on a neutral site in Indianapolis, Indiana.

USI versus UIndy: USI leads the all-time series with UIndy, 22-13-0, despite falling to the Greyhouds in 2018, 1-0. The loss was the only conference defeat last year for the Eagles. The Greyhounds have had the upper hand on the Eagles since 2013, winning the last seven meetings, six coming in GLVC regular season action.

The Greyhounds in 2019: The Greyhounds were perfect in their first two matches, defeating Oakland City, 4-1, and SVSU, 2-1, in overtime. UIndy hosts Bellarmine Sunday before coming to visit USI next Thursday.

Santoro begins his 11th year: USI Head Coach Mat Santoro has an 88-75-19 overall record at the helm. Santoro has guided the Eagles to a pair of NCAA II Tournament appearances; the 2018 GLVC regular season crown, and five GLVC Tournament appearances during his tenure.

Return to the GLVC Tournament: USI is looking for its fifth-straight trip to the GLVC Tournament for the first time since 1979-84 seasons.

GLVC leader in championships: USI has 10 GLVC men’s soccer titles since the conference was created in 1979, the most by any program in the league. The Eagles won the conference championships in 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1991.

AG Curtis Hill hosts crime prevention forums in Lake and Tippecanoe counties

0

Attorney General Curtis Hill today hosted crime prevention forums in Merrillville and Lafayette as part of a listening tour that involves visiting 14 cities across the state of Indiana. The purpose of the tour is to facilitate conversations aimed at developing solutions to residents’ crime-related concerns. Merrillville and Lafayette are the fifth and sixth stops on the listening tour with the next stop planned to take place in Bloomington.

“We are one state, but every area of the state has its own unique set of challenges,” Attorney General Hill said. “Not everyone can make their way to Central Indiana to talk about what they’re seeing in their corner of the state, and that is why we are bringing this forum to these various communities.”

The Office of the Attorney General will collect feedback at each forum and present findings at the office’s 10th Annual Drug Abuse Symposium on Oct. 29-30.

Founders, award recipients honored at annual USI Alumni Association luncheon

0

The University of Southern Indiana recognized its founders, supporters and award recipients at the annual Alumni Association Founders’ Day Luncheon, held on September 11 in Carter Hall.

“Think about this for a second: for the men and women who came before us in 1965 to be part of developing a university, it was, without question, nothing but a simple idea. People came together and talked with one another, but all it was was an idea, a possibility,” said Dr. Ronald Rochon, USI president. “And so you talk about the power of an idea? Never underestimate what it can do, how it can transform lives, and how it can propel a community. The University of Southern Indiana does that each and every day.”

The event, which featured remarks from Rochon and a recognition of the University’s past leadership, closed with the presentation of the Alumni Association’s three major awards: the Alumni Service Award, the Honorary Alumni Award and the Faculty Recognition Award.

Alumni Service Award

The 2019 Alumni Service Award was presented to Kevin Hammett ’90, president and chief executive officer of Regency Properties.  Hammett graduated from USI with a bachelor’s degree in accounting in 1990 and has spent his career giving back to the University with his time and expertise.  Since 2008, he has served as the chair of the USI Foundation Board of Directors (2016-2018), president of the Alumni Association (2010), chair of the Romain College of Business Board of Advisors (2016-2018), chair of the alumni division of Campaign USI – Elevating Excellence and as an alumni representative on the 2017-18 presidential search committee.

Hammett is a former member of the USI Varsity Club Board of Directors and the Accounting Circle and has served on steering committees to select members of the Board of Trustees and USI Distinguished Accountant Award recipients. Additionally, Hammett is a current board member for the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville, Youth First, Inc., the EVSC Foundation and Buffalo Trace Council, Boy Scouts of America. He is a former board member for the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce and Patchwork Central, and a member of the Rotary Club of Evansville.

Honorary Alumni Award

Penny Goshert was recognized as the recipient of the 2019 Honorary Alumni Award for her dedication, service and passion for USI. As a volunteer, Goshert began her connection to USI through assistance with heart screenings for student athletes more than a decade ago. This interaction led to the beginning of her involvement with the Varsity Club, where she served as chair of the Board of Directors from 2017-18. Additionally, Goshert serves on the Society for Arts and Humanities Board of Directors and the planning committee for the annual Toast to the Arts fundraiser, and is a member of President’s Associates along with her husband, Mark.

Goshert currently serves as the outreach and access coordinator for Deaconess Hospital. She was instrumental in the launch of the HeartSaver program in 2014, in conjunction with Deaconess Foundation, which strives to place automated external defibrillators, or AEDs, throughout the Tri-state. She also serves as an advocate for the annual Go Red for Women luncheon, which is in part sponsored by The American Heart Association and Deaconess Hospital.

Faculty Recognition Award

Kathryn M. Waters, professor emerita of art, was the recipient of the 2019 Faculty Recognition Award. Since joining the USI faculty in 1981 through her retirement in 2019, Waters has served as chair of the Art Department, interim associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts, director of the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries and interim chair of the Art and Design Department. As a practicing artist, Waters’s drawings and paintings appear in many corporate, university, museum and private collections and have been exhibited widely at the national and regional levels.

Waters is the recipient of the 2019 Mayor’s Art Award from the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, an Arts Midwest National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in Painting, the Clowes Fellowship in Painting at the Vermont Studio Center and two Indiana Arts Commission Master Fellowships. She also has been selected for artist residencies at Yaddo, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Vermont Studio Center and the Ragdale Foundation. She was honored with the 2015 University of Southern Indiana’s Distinguished Professor Award and a Phenomenal Woman of USI Award.
