Juenger Named All-Midwest Region

The award is the second for Juenger, who became the ninth Screaming Eagle to earn All-Region honors in the history of the program last year.

USI also was ranked regionally for the first time since 1999; hosted a GLVC Tournament home game for the first time since 2010; and tied a program winning-streak record with seven-straight victories.
Cross Country Aims for Midwest Regional

Nolan and Winders have also earned Runner of the Week honors this fall as well. Nolan was twice the GLVC Runner of the Week as well as the USTFCCCA National Runner of the Week. Winders was named GLVC Runner of the Week once this season.
Junior Nathan Hall (Springfield, Missouri), sophomore Grady Wilkinson (Mt Carmel, Illinois), junior Javan Winders (Mansfield, Tennessee), and junior Matthew Everling (Avon, Indiana) all were named All-GLVC for their top-15 finishes.
Sophomore Jennifer Comastri (Indianapolis, Indiana) and freshman Haley Barker (Boonville, Indiana) looks to continue recent success after All-GLVC accolades with fifth and 10th-place finishes at the GLVC Championships. Barker was also the second freshman to finish at the GLVC Championships as well.
Junior Ashley Lawhorn (Frankfort, Kentucky) was just outside of the All-GLVC honor with her 21st-place performance.
The top three teams from each regional meet will earn automatic qualification to the NCAA Division II Championship meet in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on December 1. An additional 10 teams will be selected by a committee for an at-large bid for a grand total of 34 teams.
Also, the top two individuals not on a qualifying team from each regional meet will be granted automatic qualification. Any individual who finishes in the top five of a regional meet will also be granted automatic qualification.
The men’s race is slated to start at 9:30 C.T. with the women being on the line at 10:45.

Habitat for Humanity dedicates ETFCU member-funded home
A Habitat for Humanity home fully funded by Evansville Teachers Federal Credit Union members was dedicated on Wednesday, November 14, on South Bedford Avenue in Evansville.
In early 2018, ETFCU began making a donation to Habitat with every new Vertical or Platinum Rewards checking account. That total, along with employee donations, allowed the credit union to fully fund a house in the program’s first year.
“Habitat for Humanity provides much-needed support for families, improves the community, and demonstrates the unifying power of working together,†said Bill Schirmer, the president and CEO of ETFCU who also serves as president of the local Habitat for Humanity chapter. “Sponsoring a home build is a wonderful opportunity for our team at ETFCU to give back to our community and help a deserving family gain affordable quality housing.â€
Along with their financial contributions, ETFCU employees volunteered their time to help with basic construction.Â
Lisa B. is the owner of the new home, which she will share with her two grandchildren. Like all Habitat families, she will purchase the house via a no-interest loan while also paying all applicable property taxes. “My life has changed tremendously,†the new home owner said. “Prayers go up, and blessings come down. God has finally answered my prayers.â€
By the end of the year, the Evansville chapter of Habitat will become only the 26th nationwide to complete 500 homes, with no plans to slow the process. The accomplishment will be celebrated on December 9 at a University of Evansville men’s basketball game, where a 500-voice choir led by ETFCU Director of Sales and Employee Development Tami Tenbarge and Evansville Mayor Lloyd Winnecke will highlight the halftime show.
ETFCU has more than 204,000 members residing in all 50 states, with Indiana branches in Evansville, Fort Branch, Mount Vernon, Newburgh, Princeton and Vincennes; Kentucky branches in Henderson, Owensboro and Louisville; and a Tennessee branch in Franklin. Offices will open soon in Bowling Green, Kentucky; a second location in Franklin, Tennessee; and in Washington, Indiana. ETFCU was recognized by Forbes in its Best-In-State for Banking and Credit Unions in 2018, and it is rated No. 1 in Indiana and in the Top 25 nationally for “total return to member†and “top

Eagles use late surge to top Railsplitters in home-opener
University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball outscored visiting Lincoln Memorial University 13-4 throughout the final six minutes of the game to pull out a 72-63 victory over the visiting Railsplitters in its home-opener Wednesday evening at the Physical Activities Center.
USI (2-1) got a basket from senior center Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) with six minutes to play to break a 59-59 stalemate. Two minutes later, senior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana) splashed in a three-pointer to put the Screaming Eagles up, 64-59.
A free throw by sophomore forward Imani Guy (Columbus, Indiana) with 3:28 on the clock extended USI’s advantage to six points, while an Eschweiler layup with 2:24 to play followed by a layup by Guy with just under two minutes to play staked USI to a commanding 69-61 lead.
Guy was part of an explosive bench for the Eagles Wednesday. Led by sophomore guard Kennedy Williams (Marshall, Illinois), USI’s reserves accounted for 41 of USI’s 73 points.
Williams paced all scorers with a career-high 20 points, including 10 in the third quarter alone, while Guy added 10 points off the bench. Freshman forward Ashlynn Brown (Perrysburg, Ohio) provided a spark off the bench as well, pouring in seven points, while senior guard Milana Matias(Klaipeda, Lithuania) rounded out USI’s bench production with four points.
Sophomore guard Emma DeHart (Indianapolis, Indiana) chipped in 10 points to lead USI’s starters, while Eschweiler finished with nine points and a team-high rebounds. Senior guard Ashley Johnson (Louisville, Kentucky) added seven points, while Davidson rounded out the Eagles’ scoring with five points.
Early in the game, USI shrugged off a slow start to take a five-point lead into the intermission. USI was held to just 10 points and trailed by as many as eight points in the opening period before erupting for a 24-point second quarter and a 34-29 halftime advantage.
Lincoln Memorial (1-2), which trailed 34-24 late in the second period, rebounded to take brief leads of 43-42 and 47-46 midway through the third quarter. Senior guard Dasia Maxwell had 13 points to lead the Railsplitters, while junior forward Shermeria Quarles and sophomore forward Addi Kirkpatrick each had 10 rebounds.
