Winders All-American at the NCAA Division II National Championships

0

University of Southern Indiana freshman Titus Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) earns All-American status at the NCAA Division II National Championships on Saturday en route to a 19th-place team finish at Schenley Park.

Through sloppy conditions, falling runners, and a restart, the Eagles were led by Winders, the Midwest Regional champion, in 30th-place crossing the line in 33:13.5 through the 10-kilometer course out of 261 runners. Winders becomes the 23rd individual to earn All-American honors, the first since Noah Lutz and current USI assistant coach Chase Broughton in 2016.

Junior Austin Nolan (Evansville, Indiana) was close behind Winders in 75th with a total time of 34:12.6. Junior Nathan Hall (Springfield, Indiana) closed the gap in 35:08.5 as the Eagles’ third runner to cross in 143rd-place.

Rounding out the top five for USI were sophomores Grady Wilkinson (Mt. Carmel, Illinois) and Wyat Harmon (Fredricktown, Ohio) in 174th and 186th with times of 35:33.7 and 35:49.3, respectively.

Freshman Evan Sorensen (Evansville, Indiana) and junior Javan Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee) round out the top seven for the Eagles in 234th and 250th.

Grand Valley State, the Midwest Regional team champions, won their first-ever national championship with 89 points. Colorado School of Mines came in second with 99 while Western Colorado was third with 117, Adams State was fourth with 175, and Sioux Falls was fifth with 214 points.

R & G Furniture Company by Pat Sides

This photograph, dated December 8, 1937, was one in a series recording Santa’s visits to various local retailers in the weeks before Christmas.

The series appeared in the Evansville Press, perhaps to perk up sales slowed by uncertainty in the Depression years. The frigid weather was also not cooperating, with temperatures hovering just above zero, the lowest in nearly a decade.

Here Santa adjusts the dial of a Silvertone console radio in the R & G Furniture store at 114-122 Main Street. The popular brand, introduced by Sears & Roebuck, was on sale for fifty dollars, promising dependability and “worldwide reception” to consumers.

The R & G firm, founded in 1901 by Ignace Rosenthal and Ferd Gumberts, was a downtown fixture until it closed in 1967.

Eagles Hold Off Knights In GLVC-Opener

Box Scores: Printable Box Score | Sortable | Postgame Comments

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Junior guard Ashley Johnson (Louisville, Kentucky) scored nine second-half points as University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball held on for a 77-70 victory over visiting Bellarmine University in its Great Lakes Valley Conference home-opener Saturday evening.

After leading by as much as 14 late in the third quarter, the Screaming Eagles found themselves clinging to a 66-64 lead with less than four minutes to play in the game. USI, however, responded as Johnson scored four of those nine points in a 7-1 run that gave the Eagles an insurmountable 73-65 lead with less than a minute left on the clock.

The late surge gave the Eagles a wire-to-wire victory over the Knights, who found themselves in a 10-0 hole early in the contest.

USI (7-1, 1-0 GLVC) dominated the early going as it kept the Knights off the scoreboard for the first four minutes of the contest.

Bellarmine (5-1, 0-1 GLVC), however, rallied throughout the remainder of the opening period as it outscored the Eagles, 10-2 throughout the final five-plus minutest to cut USI’s lead to 14-12 heading into the second frame.

The Eagles extended their advantage on multiple occasions during the second period, but the Knights were able to trim USI’s lead to 29-28 late in the opening half.

USI, however, scored six straight points and led 35-30 at the intermission; then continued what turned out to be a 23-10 run throughout the first six minutes of the third quarter. Johnson scored five points in the run to lead the Eagles, who went 10-of-18 (.556) from the field and had scoring contributions from nine different players during the nine-minute stretch.

Johnson was one of four Eagles to finish in double-figures in the scoring column as she contributed 11 points, four assists, six rebounds and five steals. Sophomore guard Kennedy Williams (Marshall, Illinois) and senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) each had 13 points to lead the Eagles, while senior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana) added 12 points.

USI also got nine points and a team-best seven rebounds from sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana).

Junior guard Mikayla Berry had 18 points to pace the Knights, while senior center Liza Tibbs finished with 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.

The Eagles, who forced Bellarmine into 25 turnovers, return to action Tuesday at 6 p.m. when they host NAIA competitor Lindenwood University-Belleville. The Lynx (3-7) are coming off a 67-53 setback to NAIA No. 4-ranked Columbia College Saturday afternoon.

Evansville Men Defeat Albion, 65-49

0

Four Players Registered 11 Points For The Aces

 Four Purple Aces tallied 11 points apiece on Saturday as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team earned a 65-49 victory over Albion inside the Ford Center.

Marty Hill, K.J. Riley, Noah Frederking and Dainius Chatkevicius recorded 11 points apiece to lead the Aces (4-3).  For Chatkevicius, it was his second double figure game in a row and his season-high in points. He added nine rebounds. Evan Kuhlman was just behind with 9 tallies. John Hall tied his career mark with 12 caroms. With the win, UE moved over .500 for the season while improving its home record to a perfect 4-0.

“I thought we got off to a better start in the second half and played with more pace.  We did not play with any fire or purpose in the first half. I knew if we played with more energy, we could get it going,” UE head coach Walter McCarty said.  “Our guys like playing basketball together and look for each other. We’re getting there, it is a slow process. We are grateful that we were able to win the basketball game and just need to keep working at it to get better.”

Albion (4-2) saw Jamezell Davis record 15 points.  They attempted 34 3-pointers, the highest total an Evansville opponent has taken at the Ford Center.

The lid was on the basket for both teams in the opening minutes as the squads combined to miss their first 14 shots. Albion missed its first six shots before hitting one to take a 2-0 lead. After going 0-for-14 in the opening seven minutes, Evansville got on the board when Noah Frederking drilled a three.

On the next possession, Dainius Chatkevicius hit a layup to tie the game at 5-5 before a free throw by Jawaun Newton gave UE its first lead at 6-5.  Evansville continued to hold the lead for the remainder of the period, pushing its advantage to as many as eight points as a pair of Frederking free throws gave the team a 23-15 lead.  Over the final 2:14 of the period, the Britons hit two treys, going on a 7-1 run to cut the UE lead to just one at the break – 24-23. Frederking had six points in the half while John Hall grabbed seven boards.

UE’s offense came out better in the second half, knocking down its first two shots to push its lead back to five.  Just over seven minutes in, Shamar Givance found K.J. Riley for his third bucket of the game to push the lead to double figures for the first time at 39-29.  Albion continued to fight back, getting with seven points before the Aces took control. Up 41-34, UE scored 11 in a row to extend its lead to 52-34 with eight minutes remaining.  A triple by Milton Barnes ended the streak.

Evansville’s double figure lead held strong in the final minutes with the Aces taking the win by a final of 65-49.

After starting the game 0-for-14, UE improved to finish the game at 37.9%.  In the second half, Evansville hit 51.9% of its tries. Albion finished the game at 27.1%.  Points in the paint made a huge difference as UE finished with a 32-4 advantage. Evansville also finished with a 10-0 final in fast break points and 17-7 in points off turnovers.

Next up for the Aces is a road game at Arkansas State on Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.

NATIONAL HAND WASHING AWARENESS WEEK

0
Personal hygiene begins and ends with our hands. And though we’re taught as youngsters to wash our hands before dinner, it’s important to remember that germs don’t care what time of day it is. Clean hands prevent sickness. So it’s especially important to learn the basics about hand hygiene.
  1. Do it right. Experts recommend washing your hands with soap and clean water for at least 20 seconds. Be sure to get a good lather going and clean the back of the hands, between the fingers and under the nails. Dry them using a clean towel. There is a lot of science behind these recommendations, so be sure to follow them each time you wash your hands.
  2. Memorize the five steps. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention call hand washing “a do-it-yourself vaccine” and suggests remembering five easy steps: Wet, lather, scrub, rinse, dry.
  3. Learn the Four Principles of Hand Awareness. Endorsed by the American Medical Association and American Academy of Family Physicians, the four principles are: 1) Wash your hands before preparing food and eating; 2) Do not cough into hands; 3) Do not sneeze into hands; and 4) don’t put your fingers in your eyes, nose or mouth.

The University of Evansville’s RN to BSN Program is now offering an all online format. This new option brings additional flexibility to a program that is already designed to provide adult learners and working nurses with an accommodating, supportive academic experience. 

Two online courses are being offered this spring: NURS 484 Dynamic Integration: Health Issues and NURS 463 Nursing Professional Leadership.  

The RN to BSN Program’s curriculum teaches advanced critical thinking and leadership skills and in-depth knowledge of health care issues, research, and quality improvement.

We have a long-term collaborative relationship with hospitals and community agencies in the Evansville area.”

The RN to BSN program offers a competitive reduced per credit hour tuition rate, and students may qualify for financial aid.
