Clinic is one of the top in the nation
Â
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – One of the top volleyball coaches clinics will make its way to the University of Evansville as the Gold Medal Squared clinic will be held at Meeks Family Fieldhouse from July 20-22, 2018.
UE is the first Missouri Valley Conference school to host the clinic and just the second school from Indiana to do so, joining Notre Dame.
Their staff brings 12 NCAA Championships and 6 Olympic medals to the table: an incredibly unique opportunity coming to town for any sport. Beyond volleyball, this is a once-in-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any coach wanting to continue to grow as an educator. This opportunity is tailored for coaches at all levels from youth and elementary to college levels.
This clinic is open to all participants regardless of how much coaching or playing experience you have. UE is one of just 10 universities in the United States to host one of these clinics this year. Among the things the clinic concentrates on will be motor learning, reps, drills and giving feedback.
“This is a great chance to showcase our university, and create awareness towards our program, athletic department, and facilities in general,†UE head volleyball coach Manolo Concepcion said. “I want to thank our athletic director Mark Spencer and Associate Athletic Director Sarah Solinsky for their total support in this project.â€
Among the staff that will be on hand will be Chris McGown (Named the MPSF and AVCA Coach of the Year for BYU), Tom Black (USA National Team coach and University of Georgia Head Coach), Joe Trinsey (Technical Coordinator (Statistician) of the USA National Team) and more.

The 13th-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team erased a five-run deficit and defeated Missouri University of Science & Technology, 9-8, in a non-conference match-up on the second day of the Dunn Hospitality Classic at the USI Baseball Field. USI, which has rallied from a five-run-or-more deficit in each of its three wins in the classic, watched its record rise to 3-1, while Missouri S&T goes to 3-3.
The Screaming Eagles used a four-run rally in the eighth inning to record their third win of the year. Senior leftfielder Drake McNamara (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) ignited the comeback with a two-run double to pull the Eagles to within one, 8-7, before junior second baseman Jacob Fleming (Evansville, Indiana) scored on a wild pitch to tie the game, 8-8.
After McNamara moved to third on the wild pitch, sophomore Spencer Deom (Tell City, Indiana) pinch ran and scored the game-winning tally on a ground out by junior pinch hitter Jaylen Beshears (Evansville, Indiana).
On the mound, senior right-hander Nick Coudret (Newburgh, Indiana) set the Miners down in order in the ninth to pick up the win in relief. Coudret (1-0) allowed two hits, one walk, and one unearned run over four innings of relief work, striking out four. The appearance on the mound was Coudret’s first since the 2016 season and sitting out last year with an injury.
The Eagles fell behind by two runs early when the Miners pushed a pair of tallies across the plate in the top of the second. USI managed to cut the deficit in half with a single tally in the bottom half of the frame on a sacrifice fly by freshman shortstop Ethan Hunter (Terre Haute, Indiana) to make the score, 2-1, after two.
Missouri S&T pushed the lead back to two runs, 3-1, on a tally in the top of the third and to 5-1 on two more in the fifth. USI got one of the runs back in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly by McNamara.
After the Miners put another pair across the plate in the top of the sixth and extend their lead to five runs, 7-2, the Eagles answered with a small rally of their own by plating two runs to narrow the margin to three, 7-4. Senior rightfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Kentucky) and freshman centerfielder Bryce Krizan(Mt. Vernon, Indiana) provided the offense with RBI-singles in the frame.
USI and Missouri S&T would trade runs in the seventh to make the score 8-5 and set the stage for the Eagles game-winning rally in the bottom of the eighth.
Junior left-hander Chase Partain (Evansville, Indiana) got a no-decision in his first start of the season. Partain went four-plus innings, allowing four runs, two earned, on eight hits and one walk. He also struck out four batters.
USI concludes the Dunn Hospitality Classic Tuesday when it takes on Grand Valley State University in a noon doubleheader. The Lakers, 1-3 to start the season, have split their two games in the classic, falling to Missouri S&T, 10-7, Sunday night and defeating Hillsdale College, 19-3, Monday afternoon.
University of Southern Indiana Softball rallied past Midwest Region foe Ferris State University for a 9-8 win after suffering a 5-1 setback to regional opponent Ohio Dominican University in its opening game of the day at Grand Park.

February 1938 brought the announcement that construction on a new National Guard Armory would begin in Evansville. Progress is evident in this view, as the imposing brick and concrete structure on Rotherwood Avenue neared completion.
The facility, formally dedicated on December 30, 1938, boasted a seating capacity of 7,000, the largest in the city at that time. The Armory’s chief function was to provide a home for National Guard units, but the building’s large drill hall and stage made it possible to host basketball games and a variety of other community activities.
In 1998, the University of Evansville acquired the old armory after new National Guard headquarters were built.
