USI is newest addition to adidas family Eagles begin program-wide conversion in 2018-19

0

The University of Southern Indiana has entered into an agreement with adidas to be the official uniform for the Screaming Eagles varsity programs. The contract is slated to run from the 2018-19 through 2022-23 academic years.

The exclusive partnership will supply the department and the 17 athletic programs with apparel, uniforms, footwear, and equipment. adidas, which has been the on-field partner and uniform supplier for USI men’s and women’s basketball, cross country, soccer, and track & field, will partner with EI Sports, a locally owned Athletic Team Dealer in Evansville, to service the account.

“This is exciting as one of the finest collegiate programs in the country is partnering with one of the finest suppliers of uniforms/apparel in the world,” said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. “adidas is worn by some of the top college programs for a reason and we are happy that our student-athletes will be competing in their high quality products.”
The agreement comes at the end of a successful 2017-18 campaign that saw USI win the GLVC Commissioner’s Cup for the first time since 2004 and the addition of a fourth national championship when softball won the NCAA Division II title in May.

“adidas is proud to be given the opportunity to service USI. We are already impressed with the people and facilities that make up this first class institution,” said Jim Watkins, Team Services Rep for adidas. “A partnership with adidas, along with our local dealer, E.I. Sports and Apparel, will only expand and enhance their existing programs. Our commitment is to build meaningful relationships with the coaches and staff for years to come.  We at adidas look forward to working side by side with the student athletes and coaching staffs, outfitting them in the best performance gear on and off court/field as they train an compete to win.”

Top 25 Eagles also Top 25 in classroom

Not only did University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball finish the 2017-18 season as a Top 25 team on the court, but the Screaming Eagles also performed well in the classroom. USI was tied for No. 16 in the 2018 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association Division II Academic Top 25, which was released Tuesday afternoon.

USI, which had a 3.640 team grade point average during the 2017-18 academic year, was one of four teams from the Great Lakes Valley Conference to earn a spot in this year’s Academic Top 25 and one of 10 teams from the Midwest Region.

Midwest Region foes Michigan Tech University (3.796) and Purdue University Northwest (3.755) were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, while No. 8 Rockhurst University (3.683), No. 11 McKendree University (3.673) and No. 22 Quincy University (3.589) were the other three teams from the GLVC to join the Eagles in the Top 25.

Under the direction of Head Coach Rick Stein, the Eagles were one of five teams to be ranked in both the WBCA Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll and the WBCA Division II Academic Top 25. USI finished the year with a 26-5 overall record, 16-2 in GLVC play, and was No. 18 in the final coaches poll.

Senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois), a first-team All-GLVC and second-team All-Midwest Region honoree, earned third-team Academic All-America honors and was one of 11 USI women’s basketball players to earn Academic All-GLVC accolades this season.

This marks the second straight year and third time under Stein that USI has earned a spot in the WBCA Division II Academic Top 25 after ranking No. 12 a year ago. The Eagles were No. 15 following the 2010-11 campaign.

Wynne’s complete game leads Otters past Slammers in series opener

0

A complete game performance from Randy Wynne led the Evansville Otters to a 7-1 series opening victory over the Joliet Slammers on Tuesday night at Bosse Field in front of 1,780 fans.

Jeff Gardner put the Otters on the board in the first inning with an RBI single.

Hunter Cullen then added another run in the second, when he scored from third base after a throwing error from Joliet catcher Trey Fulton.

Travis Harrison led off the fourth with a solo homer, his seventh of the year, to make it 3-0. Then with Gardner at second, Zach Welz singled to left and an error from the left fielder RJ Thompson allowed Gardner to score to make it 4-0 Evansville.

Ryan Long blasted his seventh homer of the year, a solo shot, to make it 5-0.

Joliet got a run back in the top of the seventh on an RBI groundout off the bat of Thompson.

Austin Bush got that run back and one more with a two-run single in the bottom of the seventh to put Evansville ahead 7-1.

That would be more than enough run support for Wynne, who tossed his third complete game of the season in earning his fifth win of the year. Wynne allowed just one run on six hits while striking out four. For the seventh start this season, the righty did not concede a walk.

Corey Kimber takes the loss for Joliet. Kimber went five innings, allowing five runs, three earned, on nine hits while walking two and striking out five.

The Otters and Slammers will face off again tomorrow night at 6:35 p.m. at Bosse Field for the second game of the series.
