RICHMOND, Ky. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer came up just short in the front end of its two-game road swing Sunday afternoon, falling 1-0 at Eastern Kentucky University.
Southern Indiana (0-2-1) caught an unlucky break early on, as an Eastern Kentucky (1-3-0) shot near the penalty spot tipped off the glove of redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama), off the post, and into the goal.
The Colonels, a high-volume shooting squad on Sunday, continued to pressure and challenge USI. The Screaming Eagles’ defense stood up to the challenge to keep the score a one-goal difference.
USI gained possession and flipped the field position into the attacking third in the 25th minute. Senior midfielder Maggie Duggan (Defiance, Missouri) put up USI’s first shot of the game just before the hydration break, which was saved by EKU’s senior goalkeeper Marah Krick.
Later, the Screaming Eagles had another good opportunity when junior defender Brynn Quick (Cottage Grove, Minnesota) sent a free kick from near midfield that went straight toward the goal and forced the Colonel’s netminder to make a diving save. Following an impressive save on the other end by Markland deep into the first half, Quick had another free kick on target and saved. Sunday was the second consecutive match that Quick recorded two shots on goal.
Looking to build on its 1-0 halftime advantage, Eastern Kentucky continued its aggressive attack with many shots in the second half. USI’s defense continued to be stout by blocking several shots.
Markland and senior keeper Zoe Lintner (Wildwood, Missouri), who entered the match in the middle of the second half for the last 26-plus minutes, also continued to stand in the way of EKU’s attempts toward any insurance with multiple saves.
Despite the solid defensive effort to keep the Screaming Eagles within reach of the 1-0 difference, a breakthrough reward would not come for USI. Southern Indiana had another potential tying chance on a corner kick in the middle of the second half when a header by junior midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) could not find an opening across the goal line.
Southern Indiana faced 22 shots on the defensive end from Eastern Kentucky but held the Colonels to eight shots on goal. USI finished with eight shots and four on target. Junior forward Payton Seymour (Louisville, Kentucky) tied Quick with a team-high two shot attempts in the match. The combination of Markland and Lintner between the posts totaled six saves, four and two, respectively.

Demo Governor
Party: Democrat
Hometown: New Castle
Occupation: Former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction (2017-2021)
McCormick comes from an education background and was a Republican until flipping parties at the end of her term as state schools superintendent. But the Indiana GOP has considered her a Democrat since 2020, when she started endorsing a slew of Democratic candidates ― including opponents to House Speaker Todd Huston and Holcomb. She entered the race criticizing the state Republican supermajority’s “divisive politics,” particularly when it comes to schools, where debates have centered around LGBTQ issues and “parental rights.” She views these debates as a distraction from other “common sense” issues like ensuring quality public education and supporting rural communities. But she faces stiff odds: Indiana hasn’t had a Democratic governor in 20 years.

UE men’s soccer continues road swing at Memphis
The University of Evansville men’s soccer team hopes to build a road win streak on Sunday night at Memphis.
AUGUST 26
The Purple Aces renewed a 2000s non-conference series on Sunday night by returning to Memphis for the first time since 2011. UE and the Tigers regularly played one another from 2003 to 2007 after occasional matches in the late 1980s and mid-1990s. But the two programs have not seen each other in 13 years with Evansville returning to the Bluff City for the first time since 2007. The Aces currently hold a 6-3-2 series lead and won the most recent match-up 2-1 in overtime.
The Memphis Tigers come into Sunday evening’s match having dropped their season opener to the Lipscomb Bison 2-1. The Tigers fell behind early in their home opener against the Bison and were never quite able to get back within striking distance despite a goal in the 59th minute. Memphis was tabbed third in the American Athletic Conference preseason poll coming off one of its most successful seasons in program history. In 2023 the Tigers finished 11-6-2 on the year and earned a 2nd-consecutive at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Aces picked up their first season-opening win in five years on Thursday night in a 2-1 victory over the Bellarmine Knights. UE’s win on Thursday was also the program’s first season-opening win at a road location in 20 years. Evansville last opened the season with a true road win beating Wisconsin 2-1 on September 3rd, 2004.
Sophomore midfielder Baraka Tarleton picked up his first collegiate goal along with the first Aces goal of the season against Bellarmine. In the 58th minute, Tarleton followed up on a shot rebound from senior forward Edward Mendy that made it past Knight’s goalkeeper Tudor Iordan. UE’s game-winning goal came from senior forward Nacho Diaz Barragan just minutes after Bellarmine tied up the match. Graduate forward Sami Owusu (Denver / Dayton) dropped off the ball to junior defender Nacho Diaz-Caneja (Coruna Spain / Oregon State) near the left sideline, and his cross found the head of Diaz Barragan near the back post for the go-ahead goal.
Indiana’s Adult Education Program can increase your skills

According to the Indiana Department of Workforce Development, participation in adult education programs statewide increased 25% over a two-year period from July 2023 to July 2024. Preliminary numbers show enrollment topped 25,000 students between in-person and online classes, career training and workforce programming. The Indiana General Assembly approved $4 million in additional funding for adult education programs in the state’s current biennial budget. Clearly, that investment is paying off. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates a secondary credential improves wages by about $8,900 annually. With over 4,000 Hoosiers earning their High School Equivalency Diploma in the 2023-2024 program cycle, it’s expected to boost Indiana’s economy by over $35 million. |

The Indiana Adult Education Program helps Hoosiers earn high school credentials, increase skills and get high-value certifications in industries like advanced manufacturing, building and construction, health and life sciences, IT and business services, and transportation and logistics.It’s never too late to earn your high school diploma and continue your education.

Can rethink our war policy, please?
Freedom, Indiana – Author Andrew Horning is the Libertarian Party of Indiana’s candidate for Indiana’s US Senate seat in 2024.
With my mother’s side of the family long disregarding some genealogical and DNA evidence to the contrary, I allege that I am not at all Jewish. I certainly wasn’t raised in any way to make me claim hereditary ownership of Palestine, or maintain enmity toward the sons of Ishmael. I’ve in fact read a lot of history about Zionism, and the many prophetic warnings from T.E. Lawrence about western meddling in the Middle East. So perhaps this disqualifies me from saying that we citizens, voters and taxpayers of the US of A, should stay the !@#$ out of the Middle East, and stop serving that shyster Netanyahu’s desire to cajole every nuclear power on the planet into war.
After all, these days, only some people are allowed to speak on particular subjects.
But I nevertheless have what I think are good reasons for my disinclination toward WWIIIand self-immolation, no matter the geographic spark of the conflagration: We’re past-broke, falling apart in every way, and on the verge of a very ugly multi-faceted civil war over, among other things, illegal aliens and partisan idolatry. In other words, We The People are a hot mess, are in no condition, and simply cannot afford, what is already a rapidly escalating global war with a growing number of BRICS block nations who’ve tired of our global hegemony. Besides, we’ve not finished our war on Russia yet.
However, I can offer instead, proven solutions to our internal problems that would set us on a course toward peace, prosperity, security, justice, as well as political and economic freedom such that none of us alive today have ever experienced. I suggest we consider this offer, instead of serving the ravenous greed and power lust of the Malthusian eugenicist puppet master psychopaths pushing the world toward Armageddon.
Once we have, as suggested by our Declaration of Independence, righted ourselves by opposing the political forms to which we are accustomed, then we can go ahead and discuss blowing up the planet.
Does that sound reasonable?
Liberty or Bust!

Intramural field renovation complete ahead of 2024-25 school year
Intramural field renovation complete ahead of 2024-25 school year
$1.2 million project created a new turf field
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Construction is complete on a $1.2 million intramural field renovation on the University of Evansville campus. In a collaboration between campus and Purple Aces athletics, the project is highlighted by a full turf field on the north side of campus.
This is the latest in a number of projects that have been completed on the UE campus. The new field is already being utilized by the Aces soccer programs and is set to be used by intramural squads moving forward. It also provides an open recreational campus area for the general student population.
“With the completion of new turf field, we are continuing to enhance the experience of each student at the University of Evansville,” Vice President for Student Affairs & Dean of Students Dr. Rachel S. Carpenter exclaimed. “It is special to partner with athletics in a way that has a positive impact on the wellness of the entire university!”
In total, the turf measures at 308’ x 282’ with the lined playing field being 292’ x 225’. The facility is the first outdoor on-campus turf field that will be open to campus. It will be available for use on a year-round basis. Funding for the field was completely covered through the sale of UE’s property on Division Street to Wesselman Woods in June of 2023.
“One of the most important goals within our athletics department is to enhance the relationships we have with the campus community. It is exciting to be able to collaborate on a project like this, which positively benefits every member of our campus community,” UE Athletics Director Dr. Ziggy Siegfried stated. “Our soccer programs have already been able to utilize the field for practice and we look forward to the entire campus utilizing its benefits.”
