The Screaming Eagles go to 13-4 overall and 5-2 in the GLVC, while the Cardinals are 8-11, 2-5 GLVC.The Eagles wasted little time in taking command of the game during the first 10 minutes, racing out to a 17-point lead, 29-12, with 11:08 left to halftime after sophomore forward Josh Price (Indianapolis, Indiana) connected on a pair of free throws. USI shot 76.5 percent (13-17) to begin the contest and was led by junior guard/forward Kobe Caldwell (Bowling Green, Kentucky) with 11 points during the offensive surge.The first half saw the Eagles extend the lead to as many as 19 points twice (47-28 and 49-30) before going to the locker room with a 51-35 advantage. Caldwell finished the half with 18 points on eight-of-12 from the field, while senior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) posted 14 first stanza points on a perfect six-of-six from the field and two-of-two from the line.In the first nine minutes of the second half, USI had to withstand William Jewell’s 28-14 run that saw the 16-point halftime advantage shrink to two points, 65-63, with 11 minutes to play. The Eagles rebounded and methodically rebuilt the lead before sealing the 98-79 victory once and for all with a 21-8 run. Senior guard/forward Nate Hansen (Evansville, Indiana) led the USI run to the finish with 11 of the 21 points.

For the game, USI shot over 50 percent for the third time in four games, hitting 56.9 percent from the field (37-65). The Eagles also dominated the glass with a plus-20, 41-21, advantage.

Stein followed with 21 points, marking his ninth game this season with 20-or-more points. He was nine-of-12 from the field, including the six-of-six to start the game, and three-of-three from the line.

Hansen rounded out the double-digit scorers with 18 points, scoring 14 in the second half. The senior, who has reached double-digits off the bench in each of his last three games, was six-of-12 from the field, three-of-six from downtown, and three-of-four from the line.

USI senior forward Jacob Norman (Evansville, Indiana), who had four points during the game-sealing run in the second half, tied a season-high with six points and dished a team-high and career-best six assists.

JANUARY 18TH, 2019 KATELYN PERRETT EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

A new counseling center is open in downtown Evansville to help those struggling with addiction and mental illnesses.

N.O.W. Counseling services has dedicated its new outpatient clinic location to Judge Wayne Trockman. They say it was dedicated to Judge Trockman for his work improving the way addiction is treated in the criminal justice system.

N.O.W. Counseling includes individual and group therapy, relapse prevention groups, case management services, and meditation opportunities.

Clinical Director Leslie Hagedorn says, “Create an environment of acceptance where everyone that comes through the door feels welcome, they feel respected,  they feel important and where all of those principles of recovery are really dedicated by the staff. It’s not just a building, it’s a culture that we are trying to develop.”

The next project is opening a low-intensity residential program for men and women, and a specialized outpatient program for parents in recovery.

Eagles Surge Past Cardinals For Third Straight Win

Box Scores: Printable | Sortable | Postgame Comments

LIBERTY, Mo.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball rallied from an early nine-point second-quarter deficit to earn a 65-51 Great Lakes Valley Conference road win over host William Jewell College Saturday afternoon.

The Screaming Eagles (13-4, 6-1 GLVC) trailed 25-16 less than two minutes into the second period, but a 16-5 run to end the period put USI in a 32-30 lead heading into the intermission.

USI used a 15-3 surge throughout the final three-and-a-half minutes of the third quarter to break a 36-36 tie and take a 51-39 lead into the final period. Senior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana), who recorded her first-career double-double with a game-high 17 points and career-high 13 rebounds, began the run with a three-point to put USI up, 39-36.

The Eagles got free throws from sophomore center Audrey Turner (Fishers, Indiana) and wrapped three-pointers by sophomore guards Kennedy Williams (Marshall, Illinois) and Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) around a bucket by sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana) as they went up 49-38.

Senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) put the exclamation point on the period with a bucket at the buzzer to put USI up by 12 heading into the fourth quarter.

In all, the Eagles outscored the Cardinals 35-14 throughout the final eight minutes of the first half and third quarter to break the game open.

William Jewell (9-6, 3-4 GLVC) scored a pair of quick baskets to begin the fourth period and cut USI’s lead to eight, but back-to-back three-pointers by DeHart, who scored eight of her 15 points in the fourth period, put USI up 57-43 with seven minutes to play.

USI built its lead to as much as 18 points late in the fourth as it held the Cardinals to 0-of-13 shooting during a game-clinching 8-0 run that took five minutes off the clock.

What Changed?
After allowing the Cardinals to make 8-of-14 (.571) from the field, 4-of-5 (.800) from three-point range and 5-of-8 (.625) from the charity stripe in the first 12 minutes of the game, the Eagles held William Jewell to 11-of-43 (.256) from the field, 0-of-16 (.000) from three-point range and 4-of-6 (.667) from the free throw line throughout the final 28 minutes.

USI, on the other hand, was just 4-of-14 (.286) from the field, 2-of-6 (.333) from three-point range and 6-of-8 (.750) from the free throw line in the first 12 minutes. In the final 28 minutes, USI went 17-of-40 (.425) from the field, 6-of-15 (.400) from behind the arc and 9-of-12 (.750) from the free throw line.

Bench Production
USI’s bench gave the Eagles a big lift Saturday as the Eagles’ reserves outscored the Cardinals’ reserves 17-2. Turner paced the Eagles’ bench players with six points.

Up Next
The Eagles host Missouri University of Science & Technology Thursday at the Physical Activities Center to tip-off a two-game homestand. USI also hosts No. 2 Drury University next Saturday in a game that could have a determination on the GLVC regular-season title.

COA: Sports Bar Owed Duty To Man Punched By Drunk Patron

0

Katie Stancombe for www.theindianalawyer.com

A Lake County sports bar lost its appeal against a patron suing for personal injury when the Indiana Court of Appeals found it was foreseeable to the bar that one of its drunk patron’s was looking for a fight.

After being thrown out the back door of Buddy & Pals sports bar for fighting inside, a drunken William Bailey rounded the corner to the front entrance, where he proceeded to punch a man whom he thought had shoved him inside. Instead, Bailey broke the jaw of bystander Christopher Falaschetti, who later sued Bailey and Buddy & Pals for personal injury.

Buddy & Pals responded with a motion for summary judgment as to Falaschetti’s negligence claim, asserting it owed Falaschetti no duty to protect him from Bailey’s criminal act. The Lake Superior Court denied the bar’s motion for summary judgment, prompting the instant interlocutory appeal.

In its argument before the Indiana Court of Appeals, Buddy & Pals cited Goodwin v. Yeakle’s Sports Bar & Grill, Inc., 62 N.E.3d 384, 386 (Ind. 2016), in support of the finding that it owed no duty to protect Falaschetti against the harm he suffered from the punch. The Indiana Court of Appeals, however, disagreed.

“Goodwin involved one patron suddenly shooting other patrons inside the bar,” Judge Terry Crone wrote Friday. “In contrast, here, a pugnacious patron ejected for fighting punched another patron exiting the bar by the other door.”

The appellate court found that because Buddy & Pals bouncers had anticipated Bailey would move to the front entrance and knew he was already angry, the bar had foreseeable knowledge of Bailey’s violence.

“In sum, Buddy & Pals, through its bouncers, knew that Bailey was a loose cannon who was not taking his ejection well and was in a fighting mood. As such, Buddy & Pals had a duty to take precautions to protect its other patrons, including Falaschetti, from further violent attacks by Bailey on the bar’s premises,” Crone wrote.

Therefore, the appellate court affirmed the denial of summary judgment to the sports bar in Buddy & Pals III, Inc., Buddy & Pals II, Inc., Buddy & Pals Inc., Timothy Heidbreder, and William Frank Bailey, Jr. v. Christopher Falaschetti, 18A-CT-1811. The court further noted a trier of fact would later determine whether Buddy & Pals breached its duty to protect Falaschetti.
