Drake trips up UE volleyball, 3-1, in Des Moines Aces battle to the end in MVC match
Mildrelis Rodriguez recorded 11 kills, seven digs and two service aces, however, Drake used a late rally to earn a 3-1 win over the University of Evansville volleyball team on Monday evening at the Knapp Center.
Pacing the UE (6-10, 0-3 MVC) offense was Rachel Tam, who had 14 kills. Rodriguez was second with 11. Olivia Goldstein had a strong night on the defensive side, tallying 20 digs. Allana McInnis and Elena Redmond finished the night with 18 and 17 assists, respectively. Drake (12-4, 1-1 MVC) saw three players record double figure kills, led by Cathryn Cheek’s total of 17.
Drake got off to a quick start, taking a 5-1 advantage in game one. Evansville got as close as three tallies (7-4) before the Bulldogs were able to pull away for a 25-11 win and a 1-0 match lead.
In the second set, it was the Aces jumping out to the early lead, posting three of the first four points. Drake came back to tie the set up at 5-5 and six ties would ensue, leading to a 10-10 score. That is when the Aces posted two in a row and would never trail again in the set. Elena Redmond, who had four service aces on Friday against Loyola, posted another one before a Rodriguez kill put the Aces up 12-10.
Following a timeout, the Bulldogs got within one, but Evansville scored again and would hang on for the 25-17 win. Joselyn Coronel posted a kill before the defense forced back-to-back errors to cap off the victory.
After the Bulldogs took game three by a score of 25-12, the squads battled it out in the fourth set. An Alondra Vazquez ace, followed by a Tam kill saw UE jump out to a 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs reeled off five in a row to take their first advantage at 5-3. After UE tied it up at 6-6, DU pushed back with four in a row. Just as fast as the Bulldogs went back in front, the Aces came back with six straight points. Two came from Mildrelis Rodriguez, who had a pair of aces.
Both teams battled to the wire, leading to a 20-20 score. That is when Drake made its decisive run, scoring the final five points to take game four, 25-20, while clinching the 3-1 match win.
This weekend, the Aces remain on the road as they travel to Illinois State and Bradley on Friday and Saturday.

“IS IT TRUE” SEPTEMBER 25 2018
We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUEâ€Â will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we as responsible citizens of this community need to address in a rational and responsible way?
IS IT TRUEÂ recently that an endorsement and solicitation letter was recently mailed to potential voters asking them to vote for three EVSC board incumbents? Â … Â the author of this letter identifies six (6) extremely well known civic leaders signed this letter and urge you to vote for Andy Guarino, Chris Kiefer, and Rance Ossenberg? Â …that the names of the six (6) individuals that signed the endorsement and financial solicitation letter were: Bob Jones-CEO at Old National Bank; Linda White-Newburgh Resident and Community Volunteer; Harold Calloway-President of USI Board of Trustees; Brian D. Hancock-ONI RIsk Partners; Brad Ellsworth-Community Volunteer and Patrick A. Shoulders-EVSC Legal Counsel?
IS IT TRUE the author of the above letter also asks that you send your checks for the above School Board members to Supporting Strong Schools, Post Box 916, Evansville Ind., 47706? Â …we are told that address of Supporting Strong Schools, Post Box 916, Evansville Ind., 47706 is the law offices of Ziemer, Stayman, Weitzel, and Shoulders? Â …we wonder if this political action committee is registered with the local County Clerks office? Â …that candidates for schools board offices don’t have to file a campaign finance report unless they receive more than $500 from political contributions or make more than $500 in expenditures?
IS IT TRUE we would like to point out to the Supporting Strong Schools political action committee that there are 8 very well qualified individuals running for EVSC School board in the upcoming November general election?  …they are: District 1(Vote for 1) -Chris Kiefer and Jean Webb; District 2 (Vote for 2) -Ann M Ennis, R. Clark Exmeyer and Andy Guarino; School Board At-Large (Vote for 1)-David Hollingsworth, Melissa Moore, and Rance Ossenberg?
IS IT TRUEÂ we hear that nepotism is alive and well at the EVSC? …we are told that the EVSC Communications Department has a new hire in their mist? Â …it is none other than the son of the EVSC Superintendent of Schools?
IS IT TRUE we respectfully request that the incumbent school board members running for re-election (Andy Guarino, Chris Kiefer, and Rance Ossenberg) attend future debate events of school board candidates? Â …we are told that the public would like to know what they have done during this year to correct the 7 EVSC elementary schools from receiving an “F” rating in the coming year?
IS IT TRUE every time we see a Chris Kiefer, Andy Guarino, and Rance Ossenberg political signs in a supporter yard we also see a Mike Duckworth for County Commissioner next to them?
IS IT TRUE members of the Vanderburgh County school board were elected to be “good stewards of the public trust” and not the stewards of the Superintendent of Schools?
IS IT TRUE we wonder when the silent majority of Vanderburgh County is going to rise up and challenge the “good old boy’s political network” in Vanderburgh County?
IS IT TRUE at last night City Council meeting Justin Elpers, Dan McGinn and John  Hayden who voted “no†on an amendment to give “SWIRCA And More” an additional $50,000 from the 2019 budget?  …this amendment passed Council by a 6 to 3 vote?  … that Eplers, McGinn, and Hayden predicts that other non-profit groups will be coming before City Council and ask them for additional taxpayer dollars to cover their financial shortfalls in 2019?  …our opinion is that they may be spot on?
IS IT TRUEÂ that the Councilmen Justin Elpers and Jonn Hayden amendment to the 2019 Budget to pay down Hospitalization debt was tabled at last nights City Council meeting? Â …that City Council received a verbal commitment from the Winnecke Administration that a large portion of the Hospitalization debt will be paid off at the end of 2018? Â …all we can say about this “is seeing is believing”?
IS IT TRUE it looks like members of Evansville City Council has once again allowed members of the Winnecke Administration to continue to kick the budget deficit down the road?
IS IT TRUE at last nights City Council meeting the acting Director of Echo Housing give his normal “Everything at Echo Housing Is Wonderful” speech? …he announced that ECHO Housing has a new Board of Director member but forgot to tell City Council who this person is? …if he ever decides to leave Echo Housing we know he could do well in the used car business?

Hopkins is USI’s first GLVC Defensive Player of the Week since Jackie Lohmann earned the award in September of 2013.
Hopkins started her week with a 110 minute, double-overtime 0-0 shutout of Missouri S&T. She made seven saves for her first shutout of 2018 after facing a total of 15 shots, three coming in the overtime periods.
In a historic 2-0 win over Bellarmine, Hopkins recorded her second-straight shutout and led the Eagles to their first win over the Knights since 2004 and snapped a 16-match winless streak. The senior goalkeeper faced down 13 shots, tying a season-high with eight saves.

EPD Responds to Meth Lab Seizure Article
EPD Responds to Meth Lab Seizure Article
SEPTEMBER 25TH, 2018 
TYRONE MORRIS EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
An article circulating on social media claims Indiana is the meth capitol of not only the U.S. but the world. However, local officials are warning the story is actually from four years ago.
After looking into the article EPD says those statistics were from meth lab seizure information in 2013. In 2012, the Mayor’s No Meth Task Force was created to pro-actively seek out meth labs in the area.
The meth suppression unit seized 115 labs in 2013 and so far, five in 2018. Police say meth isn’t the biggest problem they face today, the city is now dealing with an opioid epidemic.
Sgt. Jason Cullum says, “It’s a lot easier to get prescription pills than it is to buy all the stuff you need to manufacture meth so we’ve seen a transition over the years, several things are impacting that, I saw somebody put a link up to that website, I’m not saying that their information isn’t incorrect but it’s not that battle that our community is currently facing as far as a priority.â€
EPD encourages anyone with information on drug activity to contact them.
