USI’s Leonhardt Named GLVC Pitcher of Week
For the fourth time in her career and the first time this season, University of Southern Indiana Softball sophomore pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday afternoon.
Leonhardt (12-8) posted a 3-0 record this weekend as the Screaming Eagles swept GLVC doubleheaders from Rockhurst University and William Jewell College.
The reigning GLVC Freshman of the Year and Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association Midwest Region Pitcher of the Year began the week with a dominating three-hit shutout in USI’s 1-0 game-two victory over Rockhurst Friday. She racked up eight strikeouts and walked just one batter as she claimed her third straight win.
Leonhardt increased her winning streak to five straight with a pair of victories Sunday against William Jewell. She earned the decision in USI’s 6-5, game-one win over the Cardinals after entering the game in sixth inning to post four strikeouts in the six batters she faced.
In USI’s 6-2 win over the Cardinals in game two, Leonhardt racked up seven strikeouts while allowing just two runs off four hits in 5 1/3 innings of work to earn her 12th victory of the year.
For the weekend, Leonhardt posted a 1.02 ERA, 19 strikeouts, and a .163 opponent batting average in 13 2/3 innings of work.
On the year, Leonhardt has a 3.10 ERA and is third in the GLVC with 136 strikeouts. She also is seventh in the league with a .220 opponent batting average.
USI (23-16, 12-8 GLVC) returns to action Tuesday when it takes on Kentucky Wesleyan College in a Midwest Region doubleheader at the USI Softball Field. First pitch has moved back an hour to 6 p.m.
The Eagles resume GLVC play Saturday at noon when they travel to Rolla, Missouri, to take on Missouri University of Science & Technology. They conclude the 2018 regular-season road schedule Sunday at noon when they visit Drury University in Springfield, Missouri.
Two USI Students Receive “POWER” Scholarships
State Rep. Holli Sullivan (R-Evansville) today presented two University of Southern Indiana students with POWER scholarship awards.
Sullivan, president of POWER, said Laura Rodriguez-Quijada, majoring in radiology, and Amy Supper, majoring in nursing, each received the award for their desire to obtain a quality education and dedication to giving back to their communities.
POWER is a bipartisan group of primarily female legislators who are interested in improving the quality of life for women and all citizens of Indiana.
“We award POWER scholarships to hardworking Hoosier women whose education was delayed or interrupted, helping to ease the financial burden as they continue their education and advance their careers,†Sullivan said. “Laura and Amy both possess the vision and drive for success and are extremely deserving recipients of this award. Our community and state will benefit from having more strong, dedicated women pursuing higher education and reaching their career goals.â€
Sullivan said over the last two years, POWER has awarded nearly $38,000 in scholarships to Hoosier women statewide.

Evansville State Hospital by Pat Sides
In 1883, Indiana lawmakers voted to fund a new facility in Evansville to treat mentally ill patients. An old, densely wooded farm on Newburgh Road (now Lincoln Avenue), then three miles outside of the city, became the site of the Southern Indiana Hospital for the Insane and admitted its first two patients on October 30, 1890. Known as Woodmere in its early years, the hospital was renamed Evansville State Hospital in 1927.
Gardens, poultry and dairy farms, livestock, orchards and even a theater and chapel, which were spread out over nearly nine hundred acres, made the facility self-sufficient. A major fire in 1943 destroyed many buildings, and by 2008, all of the old structures had been razed.
