Eagles snare top spot in final NFCA Coaches’ Poll
University of Southern Indiana Softball is the unanimous No. 1 team in the nation according to the final National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association Division II Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, which was released by the NFCA Wednesday morning.
The Screaming Eagles concluded the 2018 season with a 41-23 record, its second straight NCAA Division II Midwest Region crown and its first-ever national championship. It was the fourth NCAA II team title in school history and the first for a women’s sport.
Additionally, the Eagles won the Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament championship for the fourth time in program history and the first since 1998.
The No. 1 ranking marks the first time in program history that the Eagles have grabbed the top spot in the national poll. USI did not receive a single vote in the previous poll, which was released prior to the start of the NCAA II Tournament, and it is believed to be the first time in the history of the NFCA II rankings, which began in 1995, that a team went from not receiving votes to the top spot in back-to-back polls.
USI began the year ranked No. 6 in the preseason NFCA Division II Top 25 poll, but had dropped out of the rankings by the middle of March after opening the year with a 17-16 record. It finished the regular season with a 27-22 overall record, 15-13 in GLVC play, and was the No. 6 seed heading into the GLVC Tournament.
The Eagles were the No. 5 seed in the regional and were the No. 8 seed heading into the NCAA II Softball Championship.
USI, however, won seven games against top 25 teams during the postseason and an additional four games against teams that were receiving votes.
Reaching the 40-win plateau for the second straight season and third time in program history, USI finished the postseason with a 14-1 record and eight consecutive victories. The combined record of the teams USI defeated in the postseason was 380-130-1 (.745).
PEF Children’s Theatre
 The Public Education Foundation is proud to partner with Compass Creative Dramatics to present a children’s musical adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Two performances will be held on Friday, June 8th at 2:30 PM and 5:30 PM.
As their beloved books disappear off the shelves, Beauty and her team of local librarians embark on a quest to rescue them from the city sewers. There, they find the Beast and his henchmen searching desperately to cure the curse that has transformed them all into animals of the lowest degree. Amidst dancing, pigeons, ticklish boots, and enchanted blue roses, Beauty and the Beast learn that it’s only by working together that they can save the day.
This event is presented by the Public Education Foundation in collaboration with The Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana and the George L. Mesker Music Trust at no charge to the participants.
The performances will take place Friday, June 8th at 2:30 PM and 5:30 PM at the Academy for Innovative Studies-Diamond located at 2319 Stringtown Road. While the performances are free and open to the public, donations are greatly appreciated and help to ensure summer programming like this stays in our community.
For more information, please contact the Public Education Foundation at (812) 422-1699.
Salt Pool by Pat Sides
Located on an old salt well, Fritzlar Mineral Springs opened in 1894 after Dr. William Cluthe, a prominent physician, acquired the property. It was used for decades as a health spa, as well as for swimming and other recreational purposes. The salt pool was located on Buchanan Road in the Mount Auburn area, just west of Pigeon Creek on the city’s west side, where some families were building homes to escape the summer heat. The old pool in the foreground of this image was replaced in 1900 by the new one at the top of the hill, which maintained a comfortable temperature of 74 degrees. Even though the city began to open public pools in the early twentieth-century, the salt pool did not close until 1937, when the water unexpectedly ran dry.
