University of Southern Indiana Volleyball took visiting Bellarmine University to four sets Saturday afternoon at the Physical Activities Center, falling by scores of 25-13, 21-25, 25-11, and 25-17.
Juniors right side hitter Elexis Coleman (Joliet, Illinois) and middle blocker Amanda Jung (Belleville, Illinois) led the scoring for the Screaming Eagles, with 11 and 10 kills, respectively.
BU 25, USI 13
- Despite the lopsided final, USI and Bellarmine shared seven tied scores and three lead changes early on…An ensuing 12-3 run by the Knights is to blame for the 25-13 score
- Jung dropped four kills on the Knights to lead the Eagles in the opening frame, all four kills coming on senior setter Erika Peoples (Bloomington, Illinois) assists.
- Sophomore setter Casey Cepicky matched Peoples’ assist total, splitting them between kills by Coleman and sophomore outside hitter Alyssa Yochum (Columbia, Illinois)
- No Knight posted more than four kills in the set, though five Bellarmine players posted three or more
USI 25, BU 21
- The Eagles were in control for the entire second set, though Bellarmine knotted the score four times…At a 21-21 draw, junior outside hitter Lindsey Stose (Elkhart, Indiana)  and freshman middle hitter Taylor Litteken (Foristell, Missouri) took control for the 25-21 outcome
- Coleman and Jung led the Eagles with five kills each in this one…Stose and Litteken each posted one of the final two kills, and teamed up for a block to take the final three points
- Cepicky and Peoples each posted seven assists as the offense clicked…USI out-hit Bellarmine .270-.200 in the second set…Peoples added a service ace
- Senior libero Haley Limper (Springfield, Illinois) collected six digs…Jung chipped in with three
- Bellarmine found eight kills from Adams in the set, the most by a single player in one set on the afternoon, by far
BU 25, USI 11
- After the Eagles handled the second, the Knights took control of the third, thanks to an 18-4 run that only featured eight Bellarmine kills
- Sophomore defensive specialist Callie Gubera (Thorntown, Indiana) took advantage of her first action of the afternoon, led the Eagles with three kills, followed by Yochum and junior middle hitter Shawntel James (Elkhart, Indiana) with two each
- Limper, Cepicky and junior defensive specialist Lizzy Gardner (Lafayette, Indiana) each brought in three digs
BU 25, USI 17
- The Knights carried over their momentum into the final set, but had to survive a 7-0 run by the Eagles midway through the set
- After leading USI in kills in the third, Gubera returned to a more natural role, tying Limper with five digs to lead the Eagles…The pair also each posted an ace
- Coleman and Yochum each posted three kills to bring them to totals of 11 and nine, respectively

BREAKING NEWS: Kentucky Family Foundation Have No Choice But To Appeal The Historical Racing Machines Court Decision
Kentucky Family Foundation Have No Choice But To Appeal The Historical Racing Machines Court Decision
LEXINGTON, KY— “After an initial analysis of the ruling, we have no choice but to appeal,” said Kent Ostrander, executive director of The Family Foundation. “We thank the Court for its diligence over the last eight years, but we are convinced the opinion overlooks several critical elements of what it means to have pari-mutuel wagering—specifically, wagering among the patrons. The very definition of the French phrase ‘pari-mutuel’ requires ‘mutuality.’â€
Yesterday, Wednesday, Oct. 24, the Franklin Circuit Court ruled that the Exacta gambling system, a form of historical racing, was legal.
“When a patron is sitting at his own distinct historical horse racing machine, with his own distinct randomly-selected race or races, pushing the button at his own distinct nano-second moment of time, the question is: ‘Who is the wagering with …among …against?’ No one can point to a single other people with whom he is ‘pari-mutually’wagering. That is the crux of this case – there is no mutuality.’ Obviously, absent ‘mutuality’ there is no ‘pari-mutuel.’”
Sadly, the specific reasoning of the decision raises major issues, both within and outside the horse racing world. For example, the opinion states: “Pari-mutuel wagering does not require patrons to wager on the same horse races, nor does it require reciprocity among patrons, or for a pool to remain open for a specified period of time.â€So, should or can tote boards and totalizators be removed from all race tracks?
And outside the racing world, will Frankfort Courts now take on the responsibility of making major policy decisions for the Commonwealth when the General Assembly choose not to? The ruling does not address numerous policy issues, such as: What is the effect of the predatory gambling practices on the poor? What about a problem/addicted gamblers? What sort of tax rate should be applied? Where should the tax revenue go? Should there be a license fee; and, if so, how much? When and how often are operators audited? Etc.
“Not one legislator has voted to change the law and not one citizen has voted to expand gambling, yet, an unelected Racing Commission and one judge has sided with race tracks and ruled that these new-fangled, slot-like machines are pari-mutuel and compliant with the law,†said Ostrander.
Currently, in Kentucky, there are five facilities using such gambling devices with an estimated 2700 to 3000 machines.
