Aces Record Third Consecutive MVC Shutout in 0-0 Draw at Drake

0

DES MOINES, Iowa – For the first time since 2017, the University of Evansville men’s soccer team earn a road result in Des Moines, playing the Drake Bulldogs to a 0-0 draw on Saturday night. Goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) and the Aces defense recorded their third consecutive shutout in MVC play, marking the first time since 1990 that Evansville has opened their conference schedule with three clean sheets.

Mroz began his night with a leaping stop in the 16th minute, taking a goal away from the Bulldogs. The sophomore made two more saves throughout the rest of the first period, keeping the match scoreless into the halftime break.

The best chance of the night for the Purple Aces came in the 57th minute, as Tancredi Fadda (Monza, Italy, University of Milan) ripped a strike from the top of the box, but his shot hit the crossbar and the Aces were left empty-handed.

Mroz made another huge save in the 69th minute, turning away a shot on goal to keep the clean sheet in tact.

Nacho Garcia (Zaragoza, Spain/UNIR) tallied Evansville’s first shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but his shot was saved by Drake keeper Tomas Butkovic.

From there, the defensive battle continued, as the night ended in a scoreless draw.

“It was a tough battle,” said Head Coach Robbe Tarver. “They probably created a few more chances, but we defended well. To be on the road again and get a result, not allow a goal, there are a lot of good things we can take away.”

“This is our first result here since 2017, we haven’t allowed a goal in conference, and we are guaranteeing ourselves to at least be tied atop on the table after the weekend’s matches, so I’m happy with the result and we push for more.”

Mroz made three saves on the night to post his fifth clean sheet in the last seven matches. Evansville remains the only MVC team to not allow a goal in conference play.

With the draw, Evansville moves to 4-3-6 overall and 2-0-1 in MVC play, remaining atop the conference table with seven points. UE returns to action on Saturday, traveling to Chicago to take on UIC.

In A Word 120, The Devil Will Sift You!

The Devil Will Sift You! by Jerome Stewart

What does it mean to sift wheat? It means to be shaken up. You are going to go through an ordeal. To sift wheat means to separate the grain from the chaff. In the account of Luke after Judas betrayed Jesus, the Apostle Peter denied Him. In Luke chapter 22 vs. 31; Jesus says to Peter; “Simon Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you that he may sift you as wheat.” 

For those unwilling to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, there is a great likelihood that Satan will sift you as wheat. Back to Peter, who had been with Jesus many times and knew Jesus very well! How did Jesus respond to Peter before he denied Him? 

Vs. 32 Jesus says; “But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” Mankind has always betrayed the Lord because of sin and Peter was no different. 

Vs. 33 says; “But he said to Him, “Lord, I am ready to go with You, both to prison and to death.” Peter lied! Jesus responded vs. 34; “I tell you Peter, the rooster shall not crow this day before you will deny three times that you know me.”  That’s exactly what happened.  

John chapter 21 vss. 14 thru 17 the bible says; “This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He had risen from the dead. So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.” 

He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes Lord; You know I love You.” He said to him, “Tend My sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord you know all things: You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.” 

Jesus forgave Peter. God’s word allows for the redemption of mankind or else none of our sins could be forgiven. When Peter messed up Satan was in details. The devil is so busy today! Philippians 3 vss. 17 and 18 Paul says; “Brethren, join in following my example, and note those who so walk as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross.”

Indiana Department of Correction to begin jail payments; $6.1 million owed to 41 counties

The Indiana Department of Correction will begin sending payments to dozens of counties on Monday to cover costs for housing state prisoners, ending months of delays that left local jails without reimbursements.

“In recent months, the Indiana Department of Correction has been working to ensure calculations of any money owed to the counties are accurate,” DOC spokesperson Annie Goeller said in a statement to the Indiana Capital Chronicle.

She explained that two separate streams of payments are at issue: funding tied to Level 6 felony diversions, and per diem reimbursements for state prisoners held in county jails awaiting transfer.

Level 6 offenders used to be sent to state prisons until a criminal justice overhaul in 2013. After that, low-level felons were kept in local jails at state expense.

Goeller said the outstanding costs associated with Level 6 diversions were governed by a funding formula established by the General Assembly in 2019.

“This formula has since become outdated and no longer reflects current data, resulting in overpayments to several counties,” she said.

To resolve that, DOC will forgive those debts rather than seek repayment, Goeller said.

In total, the department will forgive about $7.7 million in overpayments across 51 counties, including large amounts in Kosciusko County, which was overpaid nearly $599,000; Greene County, which was overpaid more than $254,000; and Clark County, where the overpayment was about $264,000, according to a DOC payment summary provided to the Capital Chronicle.

 

The department will also resume reimbursements for jail holds, where inmates who have been convicted of state crimes remain in county jails until DOC picks them up.

State law requires pickup within five days, but counties are reimbursed at a daily rate for each additional day an inmate is held.

The General Assembly raised that per diem earlier this year, and Goeller said DOC currently owes counties “approximately $6.1 million to 41 counties for these holds.”

“The department will begin reimbursing these counties immediately,” she added.

The largest payments are set to go to several northern Indiana counties with high numbers of state holds.

Elkhart County is owed more than $638,000 for 34,024 days of holds, while St. Joseph County is owed nearly $397,000 for 21,910 days. In Lake County, where 13,463 hold days were recorded, the reimbursement totals just under $178,000.

Additionally, Delaware County will receive roughly $216,000 and Vigo County about $290,000 — both for more than 10,000 days of holds. Hendricks County, meanwhile, is set to receive more than $171,000.

Other counties are owed smaller amounts, such as Monroe County at about $53,000; Jennings County at nearly $27,000; and Fountain County at about $39,000, the DOC summary shows.

Goeller said the reimbursements will come in a single distribution next week, and that “money will come from IDOC’s budget, which includes funding for jail payments.”

USI splits series at SEMO

0

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo.- University of Southern Indiana Volleyball drops the second five-set match Friday night at Southeast Missouri State University to split the series 1-1. The Screaming Eagles now move to 3-3 in Ohio Valley Conference play, and 7-11 overall for the season.

Set 1: USI 25, SEMO 22
Building on the momentum of the game one win, the Screaming Eagles take the first set of game two of the series. Freshman Carley Wright and junior Leah Coleman led the offense in the first frame with four kills each. From the back row, Aysa Thomas, OVC Setter and Freshman of the Week, picked up seven digs to lead the team, starting her career-high defensive night.

Set 2: SEMO 25, USI 15
After a push-and-pull start, the Redhawks grabbed the lead at the eight-point mark and maintained control for the rest of the set. The Screaming Eagles struggled to put together a side-out point during SEMO runs. Libero Audrey Small picked up nine digs, followed by Thomas with another five. Junior Ashby Willis led the Eagles’ front line with four kills.

Set 3: USI 25, SEMO 21
The USI offense came back for the third set with dominance, hitting their most efficient at a .220 percent with 18 kills on just seven errors. Willis and Wright each added five kills to the board, while Coleman and senior Bianca Anderson added three each. Senior Keira Moore checked into the game to tally six digs for the defense.

Set 4: SEMO 25, USI 20
Willis hit for her best set of the night with six kills and a .312 hitting percentage. Wright reached a new career-high after adding two more kills, bringing her total to 13 for the night. Thomas continued her defensive high, adding seven more digs, along with libero Small.

Set 5: SEMO 15, USI 12
In a game that was very evenly matched, the Redhawks and Eagles started the tiebreaker set with some more back-and-forth scoring before SEMO managed to pull away. Willis led the USI side of the net with four kills, but the Screaming Eagles struggled to put together more of an offensive attack.

As a team, the Screaming Eagles picked up a team high 101 digs, matching the last time a USI team reached triple-digit digs in the 2024 season opener against St. Thomas. This effort was led by five different Eagles who recorded double-digit digs for the second game in a row.

Willis finished the night with another double-double, marking 21 kills and 13 digs. Thomas also finished in double-double territory with 46 assists and a career-high 26 digs.
