McNew earns GLVC honor as Eagles move up DH
University of Southern Indiana Baseball’s freshman catcher Lucas McNew (Floyds Knobs, Indiana) was recognized as the Great Lakes Valley Conference position player of the week for his efforts in the three-game sweep of Lewis University last weekend.
McNew smacked two home runs and a triple from the Flyers at the plate in his six-for-11 weekend effort to collect six RBI and cross the plate four times. The catcher posted a .545 batting average, .571 on-base percentage, while hitting in the third slot of the lineup for the Screaming Eagles.
The freshman business administration major also threw out two-of-three baserunners and played 27 innings of error-free baseball from behind the dish.
McNew leads USI in batting average (.426), slugging (.936), doubles (7) and home runs (5). He sits second among the Eagles in RBI (15), on-base percentage (.540), walks (14), and fourth in stolen bases (3).
USI Baseball has a quick turnaround this week as its Wednesday GLVC double-up with Bellarmine University has been moved up to Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Then, the Eagles hit the road for their three-game series with William Jewell College this weekend.

Five Tips To Spring Forward With Your Exercise Routine
The clocks have been changed and the weather reports are showing sunnier days ahead. Perhaps the winter months had you feeling lethargic, but the beginning of spring is a fresh opportunity not only for spring cleaning but to jump-start an exercise routine.Â
 Here are five tips to spring forward with your exercise routine: Â
 1.     Schedule a visit with your doctor. Check in with your doctor for your yearly exam and get a clean bill of health before you start to gear up your activities.Â
2.     Start slow and steady. Develop a plan, be realistic and identify the workouts and activities that work best for your lifestyle and fitness level. Â
3.     Start with the basics. Make sure that you warm up and stretch before each exercise. Do not move right away into high-intensity exercise, which could cause muscle cramping, fatigue, and injuries.Â
4.     Drink plenty of water. Proper hydration goes a long way in boosting energy, refueling our bodies for the next workout and aiding digestion.Â
5.     Enlist a support system. Finding a workout buddy can keep you both motivated and accountable.Â
 To speak with a St. Vincent provider to learn more about ways to ease into your spring exercise routine, call 812-485-4000 or visit www.stvincent.org.
