McGrath signs contract to play pro soccer

Midfielder becomes second Ace under Ray to sign professional contract

 

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – University of Evansville men’s soccer’s top goal scorer the past two seasons, Ian McGrath, signed with Nashville SC of the United Soccer League, it was announced Friday in a release by the club.

McGrath along with two others were added to Nasvhille SC’s roster ahead of the team’s Saturday exhibition against MLS side Atlanta United of Major League Soccer at 2 p.m. (CST).

“Signing my first pro contract with a great club like Nashville SC means a great deal to me,” said McGrath. “It is something that I have dreamed of ever since I started playing soccer as a little kid.”

In his senior year, McGrath tallied six goals and 30 points for the Purple Aces, both team highs. Three times McGrath racked up four point nights, against Anderson, Milwaukee and Bradley. However, his most impressive statistic was game-winning goals, of which he tallied six, earning him the nickname “McClutch”. In all, the New Lenox, Ill. native scored 26 goals, the ninth-most in program history, assisting on 11 more goals, and recording 11 game-winning goals in 71 appearances for the Purple Aces.

“Having played at UE for such a historic program has prepared me tremendously for this opportunity,” said McGrath. “I learned a lot about hard work and dedication while playing for UE. The University, coaching staff, and my teammates have all helped me to become a better player and person.”

Over the final two years of his collegiate career, McGrath helped lead the Aces to back-to-back MVC Tournament semifinals appearances and back-to-back double-digit win seasons, the first time either feat had been accomplished since the 1995 and 1996 seasons. In 2017, McGrath was named first-team all-MVC and United Soccer Coaches all-West region for his efforts, his fourth all-MVC honor and second all-region recognition. McGrath also shined in the classroom where the midfielder was named twice to the MVC scholar-athlete team and earned NSCAA Scholar All-American honors in 2016.

In late December, Nashville was awarded an MLS franchise, speculated to begin for the 2020 season. The announcement came as part of a planned three-team expansion for the league.

Today’s friendly against Atlanta United can be streamed live on Nashville SC’s website or on the club’s Facebook page.

USI Women’s Hoops Hold OFF Bellarmine For Senior Night Win

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball got a combined 15 points from its senior class Saturday evening as it held on for a 68-59 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory over East Division rival Bellarmine University on Senior Night at the Physical Activities Center.

Senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) had seven of her team-leading 17 points in the final 10 minutes, while senior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) added six of her 14 points and three of her four blocks in the fourth quarter. Senior guard Randa Harshbarger(Philo, Illinois) scored two of her 11 points after keeping the Eagles afloat in a shaking their period.After the No. 9/15 Screaming Eagles went into the break with a 39-25 halftime advantage, USI saw its lead trimmed to just six points (46-40) at the end of three quarters. Harshbarger scored six points in the third period for the Eagles, who went just 1-of-10 (.100) from the field while being outscored 15-7.

USI (21-2, 13-1 GLVC), which led by as much as 18 points early in the second period, saw its advantage shrink to three with a minute to play in the contest. Dahlstrom, however, hit a jumper with 42 seconds left in the game to give USI a 64-59 lead; then, following a steal by junior forward Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri), the Eagles extended their lead to six after a Harshbarger free throw.

Harshbarger had a steal on the next Bellarmine possession and, with 12 seconds on the clock, hit 1-of-2 free throws to put USI in front, 66-59. Grooms drained two more free throws in the closing seconds as the Eagles extended their winning streak to a GLVC-best 10 games.

In addition to her scoring totals, Dahlstrom earned her league-leading 11th double-double of the year as she finished with 11 rebounds and four steals. Eschweiler added nine points, six rebounds, and a career-high five steals, while junior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana) chipped in 11 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals.

The Eagles, who led from start-to-finish, jumped out to a commanding 24-6 lead a minute into the second quarter, but the Knights roared back to cut USI’s advantage to eight with a 12-2 run. Davidson’s three-pointer with less than five minutes to play in the opening half ended a nearly three-minute-long scoring drought for the Eagles and gave USI life heading into the intermission.

USI outscored the Knights, 13-7, in the final five minutes of the second quarter as it built the 14-point halftime advantage.

The Eagles, who wrapped up their regular-season home schedule with a perfect 15-0 mark, hit the road for the final four games of the regular season, starting with a trip to Liberty, Missouri, Thursday at 5:30 p.m. to take on West Division opponent William Jewell College.

Notes: The Eagles recorded their first perfect record at the PAC since 2000-01 and their first 15-win season at the PAC since 1996-97…USI honored its senior class of Dahlstrom, Harshbarger, Grooms, and manager Sydney Session following Saturday’s game…USI Head Coach Rick Stein, who earned his 300th win over an NCAA Division II opponent, improved to 7-5 against his former boss, Bellarmine Head Coach Chancellor Dugan. Dugan is a member of USI’s Hall of Fame…Bellarmine is the last team to defeat USI at the PAC.

Gasper and Miller combine for 32 as Aces fall to Drake

0
 Aces grab season-best nine steals in loss 

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -  Junior Kerri Gasper and redshirt sophomore Marley Miller each poured-in 16 points as the University of Evansville women’s basketball team dropped a 101-50 decision to Drake on Friday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

“We kind of know the situation that we are in and what we’re up against this weekend playing two really good teams. With the injuries that we had against Indiana State, our backs up against the wall,” said Aces head coach Matt Ruffing. “We have three new players that got one day of practice in and I was excited for them. What an experience getting to play in a division one basketball game. I can’t imagine what their emotions were before the game. I thought our team, for the most part, executed pretty well and did the best that they could.”

Gasper and Miller were the lone two Purple Aces to finish in double-figures with Gasper adding eight rebounds, while junior guard Hannah Noe and junior center Kelsi Scott each added six points each. In her first collegiate appearance, freshman guard Monica Watkins scored two points, picking-up a pair of rebounds, a block, and a steal. For the Bulldogs, six players finished in double-figures led by Sara Rhine who finished with 19 points. Maddy Dean finished just shy of a triple-double for Drake as Dean tallied 13 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists.

The Bulldogs opened the game on a 7-0 run before Gasper hit a three with 6:43 left in the opening quarter. Following Gasper’s three, Drake once again scored seven-straight to open up a 14-3 advantage over the Aces. Trailing 29-5 in the final minute of the period, Scott scored back-to-back layups to trim the Bulldogs advantage to 29-9 at the conclusion of the first quarter.

A 7-0 run to open the quarter pushed Drake’s advantage to 27 at 36-9 before Noe and Gasper drained triples to stop the Bulldogs’ run. The Aces kept pace with Drake for most of the second period as the threes continued to fall with a Miller trifecta with 4:39 left in the quarter. To close the period, the Bulldogs manufactured an 8-0 spree that gave Drake a 58-24 lead at the halftime break.
The run reached 18-0 as the Bulldogs scored 10-straight points to open the second half and push their lead to 68-24. It was Noe again who halted Drake’s run with a triple with 5:58 left in the third quarter. After Gasper scored to trim Drake’s lead to 74-36 in the final minutes of the quarter, the Bulldogs hit three of their last four three-pointers to push their advantage to 83-36 heading into the fourth quarter.

To open the fourth period, Hannah Fuller hit another three for the Bulldogs, increasing Drake’s lead to 50 at 86-36. Midway through the frame, Miller fired a three that missed its mark and was rebounded by Monica Watkins. Watkins went back up following the rebounded and laid it in for her first collegiate points. In the fourth quarter, Miller hit two more three-pointers to bring her total to 16 points on the night. Closing the game, Gasper hit a pair of layups, but each time Drake answered with a basket of their own as the Bulldogs grabbed the 101-50 win.

Drake finished the contest shooting 69.1% (38-55) from the field and 60.6% (20-33) from beyond the arc, while the Aces shot 33.9% (19-56) from the field and 34.6% (9-26) from three-point range.

Evansville concludes the weekend and a three-game homestand on Sunday at 1 p.m. with a matchup with UNI inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.
