Aces set for 2-game road trip to Iowa

Aces face Drake on Wednesday

Purple Aces head softball coach Mat Mundell has announced the 2019 schedule for the University of Evansville.

 

In just over two weeks, the season gets under way at the Total Control Sports Invitational in Rosemont, Ill.  Set for Friday, February 8 through the 10th, the Aces will take on Purdue Fort Wayne, DePaul, Detroit, Butler and Green Bay.  DePaul is the top squad in the tournament, coming off of a Big East Championship last season along with 34 wins and a berth in the Fayetteville Regional in the NCAA Tournament.

 

UE is finalizing its opponent for the second weekend of action, details will be announced as soon as they are available.  On February 22, the Aces travel to Chattanooga, Tennessee for the Frost Classic.  Participating squads include Creighton, Eastern Kentucky, Western Michigan, Ohio University and Chattanooga.  Ohio U. won the Mid-American Conference Championship in 2018, going 40-17 and 20-3 in the MAC on their way to the Knoxville Regional, where they won two games.  The Colonels of EKU picked up 45 wins last year and advanced to the postseason, taking part in the National Invitational Softball Championship (NISC).  Creighton won 28 games and played DePaul in the Big East Championship game.

 

Next up for the Aces is the Samford Tournament in Birmingham, Alabama.  Set for March 1-3, UE will face Western Kentucky, Houston Baptist, Samford and Jackson State.

 

Home play commences on Wednesday, March 6 when the Aces welcome Purdue Fort Wayne to Cooper Stadium for a 5 p.m. game.  UE heads back on the road from March 9-11 at the East Tennessee State Tournament in Johnson City, Tenn.  Tennessee Tech, Rutgers, Siena and East Tennessee State will be playing in the event.  On March 13, UE will play a road contest at Tennessee Tech on their way back to Evansville.

 

That is the final non-conference tune-up before Missouri Valley Conference play begins.  The Aces open up the league slate on March 16 at home against Illinois State.  After opening MVC action, the Aces take on UT Martin inside Cooper Stadium on March 20 for a doubleheader.  An 8-game homestand continues on the weekend of March 23 with three games against Loyola before a single game against Butler on the 26th.

 

After the long streak at home, the Aces take to the road for their next six games, beginning with three games at UNI on March 30-31.  The month of April begins in Carbondale with three games at Southern Illinois on April 6-7.  On Wednesday, April 10, the Aces return home for a doubleheader against travel partner Indiana State before welcoming Bradley on the 13th and 14th.

 

Seven of the final ten games will take place on the road, starting with a trip to Springfield, Mo. to face Missouri State on April 19-20.  The Bears won 32 games last year and were 17-8 in the Valley.  Following a single game against the Sycamores on April 24, UE wraps up the home schedule with a 3-game series against Valparaiso on April 27-28.

 

The final weekend of the season will see the Aces travel to Des Moines to take on defending league champion Drake.  The Bulldogs were 45-11 overall and 24-1 in the conference in 2018 on their way to a berth in the NCAA Tournament where they played in the Eugene, Oregon Regional.  The MVC Championship is set for May 9-11 in Peoria, Illinois.

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball returns to the Physical Activities Center this week to host Missouri University of Science & Technology Thursday at 5:30 p.m. and No. 2 Drury University Saturday at 1 p.m.

Saturday’s game against Drury is USI’s seventh-annual Hoops for Troops game to honor members, past and present, of the United States Armed Forces. Veterans, military personnel and their guests will receive free tickets to the USI-Drury men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader with their military identification or proof of service at the front of the PAC. Hoops for the Troops is sponsored by American Legion Post 324 and the USI Student Veterans Association

Both Great Lakes Valley Conference games will be aired on 95.7 The Spin as well as the GLVC Sports Network. Live stats, audio and video are accessible at GoUSIEagles.com.

The Screaming Eagles (13-4, 6-1 GLVC) are coming off their second GLVC road sweep in the last three weeks and have won three straight games after wins at Rockhurst University and William Jewell College last week.

Senior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana) is averaging 13.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game to lead the Eagles this year, while senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) is chipping in 10.9 points and a team-high 7.4 rebounds per appearance.

USI also is getting 10.9 points and 5.7 rebounds from sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana), while sophomore guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) is contributing 10.3 points per contest. Junior guard Ashley Johnson (Louisville, Kentucky) is close to double-figures, with 9.5 points and 3.5 assists per outing.

Saturday’s game against Drury could have major GLVC Tournament implications as the Panthers and Eagles are ranked first and second, respectively, in the league standings as well as the GLVC Points Rating System.

Need to know: Are you at risk for diabetes or prediabetes?

0

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 1 out of 11 people in the U.S. have diabetes, and 1 out of 3 people have prediabetes. And of the adults living with diabetes, nearly 1 in 4 didn’t even know they had the condition.

 

Diabetes is a serious disease that can cause heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, or loss of feet or legs. Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) is higher than normal, but not yet diabetes. However, if not caught early or controlled, 15 to 30 percent of people with prediabetes will develop Type 2 diabetes within five years.

The good news is Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or prevented in people with prediabetes through effective lifestyle programs. “With modest lifestyle changes – including healthy eating and increased physical activity – men and women can decrease the likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes,” said Dr. Vishal Bhatia, Endocrinologist, St. Vincent Medical Group.

Risk factors for diabetes:

  • Being overweight
  • Having a parent or sibling who has Type 2 diabetes
  • Lack of physical activity (fewer than three times per week)
  • Some ethnic groups are at a higher risk for Type 2 diabetes

 

Test your risk:

The CDC’s Online Prediabetes Screening Test is a short, seven-question quiz that allows individuals to see if they might be at risk for prediabetes. To get an official diagnosis as to whether one may have prediabetes or diabetes, individuals should see their healthcare provider. Ascension sites across the United States are participating in the CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program, which seeks to empower individuals in the community to understand the risks of and be screened for prediabetes and diabetes.

 

To speak with a physician at St. Vincent about the risks and screening options for prediabetes and diabetes, please contact me at 812-485-4897.

Indiana Swimming & Diving Earns Scholar All-America Honors

0

Both the Indiana men’s and women’s swimming and diving squads were named College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Scholar All-America Teams on Tuesday.

To be selected as a CSCAA Scholar All-America Team, programs must have achieved a grade point average of 3.00 or higher over the fall semester.

“It is always a good sign when athletic teams achieve at a high-level in the classroom,” Indiana head swimming coach Ray Looze said. “These All-America team achievements come at a good time leading into the championship season. If we perform in the pool like we have in classroom, good things will happen.

A total of 713 teams representing 460 schools earned the distinction of Scholar All-America team for the Fall 2018 semester.

Founded in 1922, the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) – the oldest organization of college coaches in America – is a professional organization of college swimming and diving coaches dedicated to serving and providing leadership for the advancement of the sport of swimming & diving at the collegiate level.
