USI Headlines
Opening Weekend at Bradley Recap. The Screaming Eagles left the three-game CEFCU Invitational at Bradley University on August 30-31, going 2-1, beating University of St. Thomas 3-1, losing to Depaul University 2-3, and avenging their narrow 2023 loss against Bradley by beating the Braves 3-0.

Second Weekend trip to SEC country. USI challenged themselves, taking on Ohio State University who received national votes, #10 University of Florida, and University of South Florida in Gainesville, Florida. The Eagles went 0-3 but built confidence competing against elite competition. USI earned their program’s first power conference set victory against the Buckeyes along with coming inches away from forcing a fifth set. The Eagles traded points with the Gators in set one playing in front of 4,308 fans but were eventually swept. On Sunday, USI ran into a buzz saw in South Florida who swept the Eagles along with winning the tournament.

Last Weekend’s Indiana Invitational. The Eagles dropped three games at another elite invitational at Indiana University. USI kept set two close falling 26-28, but the Hoosiers earned the three-set victory. MAC opponent Ball State University dominated the Eagles on Saturday morning in a sweep. Common USI and University of Evansville opponent Chicago State University outlasted the Eagles in four sets. Senior Carly Sobieralski tallied 34 assists helping the Eagles force a fourth set against a talented Cougar squad, but Chicago State’s massive 17-7 run in set four buried the Eagles.

Sobieralski Surpasses 2K. Senior setter Sobieralski eclipsed 2,000 career assists this past weekend against Ball State University. She becomes just the ninth Screaming Eagle to reach this achievement. Sobieralski continues to imrpove year by year tallying 114 assists in 2021, 512 in 2022, 1,153 in 2023, and 270 to start the 2024 season. A real model of consistency posting 20+ assists in every game in 2024, averaging 27.4 assists per game.

Anderson’s Strong Weekend. Junior middle hitter Bianca Anderson earned an All-Tournament Selection after posting 24 kills (2.40 KPS), five blocks, on an efficient .375 hitting percentage. Anderson swatted nine kills on a season best .438 attacking percentage against the Hoosiers.

Coleman’s Breakout. Outside Hitter Leah Coleman sat behind departed seniors Abby Bednar and Leah Anderson for the majority of 2023. However, the sophomore has been heavily relied upon in 2024, totaling 7.89 kills per game.  Coleman not only produces explosive offensive production, but also brings exuberant energy to the gym every day.

Set Trends. The Eagles have struggled out of the gate losing eight out of their nine first sets. USI trails their opponents by 46 total points in nine opening sets. However, the Eagles have bounced back and won four second sets.

Competing in Hostile Environments. USI vs. UE brings an electric environment every year. The Eagles tough schedule has presented raucous crowds. The match against University of Florida included 4,308 fans in Gainesville. On Friday, IU packed the stands with a huge student section with 1,767 fans in total.

The Evansville Police Department would like to remind parents to talk to their children about the importance of social media responsibility and accountability.

Please monitor your child’s social media and discuss the dangers-and potential consequences-of posting, and spreading, serious statements such as threatening gun violence in our schoo

INDIANA FOOTBALL DOMINATES UCLA AT THE ROSE BOWL

0

By: Pete DiPrimio | IUHoosiers.com

PASADENA, Calif. – Indiana belongs. Its players and coaches belong.

Head coach Curt Cignetti has said it.

On Saturday night at the Rose Bowl, the 3-0 Hoosiers proved.

Their 42-13 Big Ten opening victory over UCLA (1-1) showed, if you didn’t already know it, that this is a different Hoosier team, a decisive team, a confident, well-coached team that, despite far too many penalties (14 for 127 yards) and a third-straight late-first-half defensive letdown, is poised for something special.

“That’s the way we want to play,” Cignetti told Voice of the Hoosiers Don Fischer during the post-game radio show. “We got the job done. Am I surprised? No. I saw progress before the season. This is another step forward.

“It’s a good win. It will get a lot of people’s attention. We have to learn how to deal with success. It’s a lot better than dealing with failure. It takes some tools to have more success in the future.”

This is why Cignetti took the IU job after enormous success at smaller programs. He’s built a winning culture and his players, a mix of college transfers, returning veterans and freshmen, have bought in.

“We all want to win,” quarterback Kurtis Rourke said in a post-game TV interview. “We’ve bought into that culture — win every game.

“I don’t want us to get complacent. Keep rolling.”

Rourke displayed elite accuracy, ruthlessly efficient run-pass-option play and crisp decision making to match that of the offensive play calling. He was 25-of-33 for 307 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. He was 7-for-7 on third downs in the first half.

“That’s not a bad night,” Cignetti told Fischer. “You have to have great protection for that to happen. It’s receivers getting separation and catching the ball, sometimes making great catches. That’s we had.”

This was why Cignetti signed Rourke after his standout career at Ohio University that included being the Mid-American Conference 2022 offensive player of the year.

“If we can protect (Rourke) and the receivers can separate,” Cignetti told Fischer, “he will find them. He has great poise and touch on the ball. He can drive it. He’s played a lot of quarterback.

“It takes a village — all 11 of them.”

Receive Miles Cross caught six passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. He was one of six receivers who caught at least three passes.

IU had a 430-238 edge in total yards and converted nine of 12 third-down opportunities. On the season, IU has forced six turnovers and committed none.

The Hoosiers weren’t perfect. Besides the penalties, their end-of-the-first-half defensive struggles continued. After defensively dominating the first 27 minutes, they gave up a 78-play touchdown drive. Still, they reached halftime with a 21-7 lead while setting an attack tone UCLA never matched.

“That was the goal,” Cignetti told Fischer. “We wanted to go out there with a mean, nasty, physical edge. We did. Sometimes you look at those penalties and it’s like they don’t let you play football anymore. I’ll have to look at the film.”

A couple of IU offensive penalties on the game’s opening drive?

No problem.

Rourke ended the 12-play, 75-yard touchdown drive with a third-yard pass to Cross and a 7-0 lead. The Hoosiers were 3-for-3 on third-down conversions.

IU got the ball right back when defensive lineman Mikail Kamara recovered a fumble on the Bruins’ first offensive play. Rourke’s 7-yard TD pass to receiver Ke’Shawn Williams made it 14-0 midway through the first quarter.

UCLA missed a field goal. Justice Ellison‘s 1-yard power run TD made it 21-0 before the Bruins ended the half with a touchdown run.

Cignetti’s halftime message was simple – one play at a time, get it done. Stop UCLA on its second-half-opening drive, then score.

IU lost defensive lineman CJ West to a targeting call within the first minute of the third quarter. Linebacker Aiden Fisher dropped a red-zone interception a few plays later. The Bruins got a field goal for a 21-10 score.

The Hoosiers lost cornerback D’Angelo Ponds to targeting early in the fourth quarter. UCLA got a field goal for a 28-13 edge. IU countered with Rourke’s 23-yard touchdown pass to Omar Cooper Jr. for a 35-13 lead.

Defensive lineman Lanell Carr Jr.‘s quarterback pressure set up defensive back Amare Ferrell‘s interception. That resulted in Elijah Green‘s 14-yard touchdown run and the 42-13 score.

“We took it to them,” Cignetti told Fischer. “We did a lot of good things. We have some things we have to clean up.”

UE finishes in 13th place

 SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – Sunday’s final round of the Cardinal Cup saw Elizabeth Mercer pick up the top finish for the University of Evansville women’s golf team.

After posting a 2-over 74 to lead the Purple Aces on Friday at the University of Louisville Golf Course, Mercer carded a 3-over 75 on Sunday.  Her final score of 232 tied her for the 46th position.

Second on the team and tying for 62nd overall was Kate Petrova.  A 79 in the final 18 saw her wrap up the tournament with a 236.  One stroke behind her was the duo of Mallory Russell and Louise Standtke.  Both completed the tournament with scores of 237 and tied for 64th.  Destynie Sheridan recorded her low round of the weekend, posting an 85.

With a score of 942, the Aces finished in 13th place.  Middle Tennessee State registered the low team round of the tournament on Sunday, totaling a 289 on their way to the team championship.  Their 880 edged second-place Western Kentucky by three strokes.  Catie Craig of WKU was the medalist with a 213.  She came in two shots ahead of a second-place tie.

Ohlwein scores twice, USI earns first win of season

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer earned its first victory of the season Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field, winning 2-1 with a second-half comeback against Bellarmine University.
 
Southern Indiana (1-6-2) and Bellarmine (1-5-1) renewed their old rivalry from when the two schools were at the D-II level in the Great Lakes Valley Conference. Sunday’s match was the first meeting of the D-I era for both schools, as the two sides have not faced off since 2019.
 
In the early minutes of Sunday, it looked like USI would strike first. Just over five minutes into the contest, the Screaming Eagles were inside the Knights’ six-yard box, merely feet away from the goal. However, the ball bounced off a swarm of players from both sides and was eventually blocked away.
 
Following a stretch of exchanged opportunities, Bellarmine scored the game’s first tally to take a 1-0 lead at 23:22 of the opening half. USI looked to answer near the 30-minute mark when sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres fired a shot that was saved by the Knights’ goalkeeper.
 
USI senior goalkeeper Zoe Lintner, who made her first start of the season on Sunday, came through with a pair of big saves in the latter stages of the first half to keep the match a one-goal difference heading into halftime.
 
The Eagles came out of the break on the offensive with pressure and making the most out of their first two shot attempts of the second half.
 
Southern Indiana equalized the contest, 1-1, in the 57th minute. Junior midfielder Emerson Grafton crossed a ball to freshman midfielder Josie Pochocki who flicked it toward sophomore midfielder Greta Ohlwein at the back post. Ohlwein one-timed it into the top side of the netting for her first goal this season.
 
Nearly two minutes later, Ohlwein received a pass from junior midfielder Peyton Murphy and beat Bellarmine’s goalkeeper one-on-one, burying her second goal of the game and giving USI a 2-1 advantage.
 
From there, the Screaming Eagles played from in front with energy and confidence, as Bellarmine’s frustrations mounted. The USI defense finished the job, holding the Knights to three shots in the final 30 minutes with Lintner snagging another save in the process to preserve Southern Indiana’s 2-1 victory.
 
Shot totals were fairly even in the match. Southern Indiana took nine shots with four on goal, while Bellarmine recorded 10 shots and five on goal.
 
In addition to two goals scored, Ohlwein led USI with three shots and two on target. Between the posts, Lintner totaled four saves in the win.
 
Sunday’s victory was USI’s first win since October 8, 2023, when the Eagles defeated Lindenwood University. Additionally, USI’s first goal on Sunday afternoon snapped a scoreless streak of 339-plus minutes.
 
Coming off a tie and a win this past week, the Screaming Eagles will get some extra time to recover and prepare for the opening of Ohio Valley Conference play. USI begins the conference slate next Sunday, September 22 on the road at Southeast Missouri State University. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. from Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Attorney General Todd Rokita provides guidance to religious leaders and churches on how to participate in the election season

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024

In the midst of the election season, Attorney General Todd Rokita announced today that his office has offered guidance to religious leaders and churches in Indiana about how they can legally participate in activities available to all Americans.

“Since its founding, churches have played a vital and indispensable role in our nation’s political and civic life,” Attorney General Rokita said. “There is no federal law that precludes religious leaders from speaking about voter education in a non-partisan way or for the organizations they lead to host or conduct related activities.”

In the guidance letter, Attorney General Rokita states that churches are protected by the First Amendment in various ways and are not shut out from participating in the electoral process. Non-partisan voter education and registration efforts, inviting candidates to speak before their congregations, and taking a stand on public policy issues that matter to the church and its members are all activities they can engage in without losing its tax-exempt status.

However, Attorney General Rokita also states that nonprofits, including churches, must not participate or intervene in any particular political campaign, which includes publishing or distributing statements on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office.

“Religious leaders can and should consider playing a role in contributing to our democratic process,” Attorney General Rokita said. “It’s the rock on which our Republic is built. I want to make sure they understand what kinds of election-related conduct is and isn’t legal, so they can lead with confidence and so churches as a whole can be more effective for the communities they serve.

Attorney General Rokita’s office oversees consumer complaints against nonprofits and entities across the state. Hoosiers can file consumer complaints here if they believe a nonprofit organization is violating state law.
