Dahlstrom’s career day, big third quarter lift Eagles over Houn

0

Senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) scored a career-high 35 points as No. 14 University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball rallied from a nine-point first half deficit to defeat host University of Indianapolis, 73-66, in a Great Lakes Valley Conference bout Saturday afternoon.

Dahlstrom went 15-of-20 from the field and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe, while grabbing nine rebounds as the Screaming Eagles earned their eighth straight win.

USI (8-0, 2-0 GLVC) used a dominating effort in the third quarter that saw the Eagles outscore the Greyhounds, 21-5. The Eagles held UIndy to just 1-of-12 (.083) shooting and forced the Greyhounds into six third-quarter turnovers as they turned a 41-37 halftime deficit into a 58-46 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

UIndy (1-7, 0-2 GLVC), which trailed 71-54 with four minutes to play in the game, made a late charge to make things interesting; but the damage the Eagles inflicted in the first 15 minutes of the second half proved to be too much for the Greyhounds to overcome.

In addition to Dahlstrom, who also had a pair of blocks, the Eagles got 13 points from senior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) as well as nine points, six assists and four steals from junior guard Alex Davidson (Salem, Indiana). Junior forward Kacy Eschweiler (St. Charles, Missouri) added eight points, six rebounds, three assists and two blocks to the Eagles’ cause.

Senior guard Martha Burse had 28 points and five steals to lead the Greyhounds.

The Eagles return to action December 16 at 3 p.m. when they resume non-conference play against NAIA opponent Harris-Stowe State University at the Physical Activities Center. USI visits 2017 NCAA II Tournament participant Lincoln Memorial University December 19 before finishing the non-conference slate December 31 against Grace College at the PAC.

Luke Messer Statement on Tax Cut Bill Passing Senate Committee Senator Joe Donnelly needs to deliver

0
Rep. Luke Messer issued the following statement today after the Senate Budget Committee Passed the President’s tax cut bill.
“There is momentum to deliver on President Trump’s campaign promise to give American workers a pay raise,” Messer said. “Now, the full Senate needs to act. Hardworking Hoosiers deserve a tax cut, and Indiana’s Senator Joe Donnelly needs to deliver. This is the Senate’s chance to prove to the American people that it can get something done.”
Senator Joe Donnelly has still refused to say whether or not he will support the President’s tax cut pan.
Messer voted to pass the House version of the plan earlier this month.

BREAKING NEWS: Body Camera Footage Released Amid Rumors On Fatal Police Chase

0

DECEMBER 1ST, 2017  AMANDA PORTER INDIANA

 The Evansville Police Department releases body camera footage of the fatal police chase that left a brother and sister dead, 7 month-old Prince, and 2 year-old Princess Carter.

The press conference comes after social media rumors of a EPD cruiser hitting the back of McFarland’s vehicle, and officer’s pulling guns on the victims.

Snap chat video from a neighbor shows officer’s pulling their weapons on the mother and child.

Sergeant Cullum with the Evansville Police Department released a statement, and held a press conference to address the social media rumors.

“With the stress and the actual lack of contact he had with the suspects vehicle, I can see why the officer made that misidentification.”

Video shows the officers realizing the car was not the suspects car, and calling for emergency response.

The two body camera videos from both officers shows the pursuit, stopping short of showing their actions to save the two young children injured.

The video shows the officers tailing McFarland, but not striking the back of his vehicle as some people on social media think.

Sergeant Cullum says officers followed department policy.

“We are using our training and our experience, our department guidelines, and statutory issues to make those split second decisions.”

The mother Janae Carter, and the children’s father Terrence Barker were driving on Linwood avenue when 27 year-old Frederick McFarland running from police, crashed into their vehicle.

After an investigation, police say McFarland ran threw the stop sign on Monroe Avenue before crashing into the Carter’s PT Cruiser.

Frederick McFarland remains hospitalized under police guard and is expected to face charges of felony fleeing, murder and more.

No. 14 University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball used a late 7-0 run to hold of visiting Lewis University, 67-56, in its Great Lakes Valley Conference opener Thursday evening at the PAC.

The Screaming Eagles (7-0, 1-0 GLVC) led by as many as 18 points late in the third quarter, but the Flyers cut USI’s lead to 10 by the end of the period and to two with less than five minutes to play in the game. USI, however, held the Flyers to just two points throughout the final 4:45 of the contest as it held on for the 11-point win.

Senior guard/forward Kaydie Grooms (Marshall, Illinois) had a game-high 23 points to go along with six rebounds and three blocks to lead the Eagles. Senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) finished with 17 points and six rebounds, while senior guard Randa Harshbarger (Philo, Illinois) added six points to go along with a game-high eight rebounds, five assists and four steals.

The Eagles, who held the Flyers to just 28.4 percent (21-74) shooting, return to action Saturday at noon (CST) when they travel to Indianapolis to take on the University of Indianapolis in a GLVC contest. The Greyhounds (1-6, 0-1 GLVC) suffered a 76-71 road setback to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thursday evening.

1st Quarter
USI made five of its first seven shots from the field to build an early 11-2 lead; but a 0-for-8 shooting effort to end the period allowed the Flyers to close the Eagles’ lead to 13-8. Eschweiler had four points to lead the Eagles, who went 5-of-15 (.333) from the field.

2nd Quarter
Keyed by a trio of three-pointers by Grooms and Davidson, the Eagles used a 12-0 run to turn a three-point lead into a commanding 25-10 advantage less than four minutes into the second frame. The Flyers, however, outscored the Eagles, 11-4, throughout the final six minutes of the half to close the gap. Grooms had six points in the second quarter to lead USI, which went into the break with a 29-21 lead.

3rd Quarter
The Eagles scored the first 10 points of the second half to extend their lead to 39-21 with just over six minutes to play in the period. Lewis, however, used a 10-2 run late in the period to cut the Eagles’ cushion to 49-39 heading into the final 10 minutes of the contest.

4th Quarter
USI saw its 10-point lead dwindle to just two points with just under five minutes to play in the game.

0

The University of Southern Indiana men’s basketball team rallied from an 11-point second half deficit to defeat Lewis University, 85-74, in overtime to open the 2017-18 Great Lakes Valley Conference schedule Thursday evening at the Physical Activities Center. USI watched its record to 6-2 overall and 1-0 in the GLVC, while Lewis goes to 2-5 overall, 0-1 GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles, which suffered through a 3-for-22 slump for the first 16 minutes of the second half, used a 12-1 run in the final three minutes to send the game into overtime tied, 68-68. USI junior guard Alex Stein(Evansville, Indiana) led the Eagles’ charge in the final minutes of regulation, scoring nine of his 15 points during the run.

USI found its shooting touch in the extra period, hitting five of its seven shots, and outscored Lewis, 16-7, for the win. Stein capped off a 15-1 USI run with an old fashion three-point play to give the Eagles a 71-68 margin. The 71-68 lead was the first for USI since the 17:39 mark of the second half.

After the Flyers rebounded to retake the lead briefly at 72-71, USI senior guard Marcellous Washington(Lexington, Kentucky) gave the Eagles the lead for good with a bucket with 3:20 left to play. Junior guard/forward Nate Hansen (Evansville, Indiana) put the Eagles up four points, 76-72, before freshman forward Emmanuel Little (Indianapolis, Indiana) sealed the victory for USI by making a pair of steals and a pair of baskets to make the score 80-72 with 1:40 remaining in overtime.

Washington and junior forward Jacob Norman (Evansville, Indiana) wrapped up the victory with four free throws to give the game its final score of 85-74.

In the first half, the Eagles used a 10-0 run midway through the first half to establish a seven-point lead at the intermission, 44-37. The 10-0 run erased a seven-point Lewis lead, 24-17, with 9:47 before halftime.

USI had three players in double-digits before halftime, led by Washington’s 14 points. Washington was the hottest Eagle from the field, hitting five-of-seven from the field and three-of-five from long range.

Individually for the game, Washington finished with a game-high 22 points and his third 20-point contest of the season. Hansen followed with 20 points, while Little and Stein rounded out the double-figure scorers with 18 points and 15 points, respectively.

The Eagles continued their dominance on the glass, outrebounding the Flyers, 44-32, and outrebounded its opponents during the four-game homestand, 194-114. Senior forward DayJar Dickson (Washington, D.C.) led the Eagles on the glass with nine rebounds.

The Eagles go on the road to finish the first weekend of GLVC play Saturday when they visit the University of Indianapolis. The Greyhounds, who received votes for the top 25 nationally this week, saw their record rise to 5-1 overall and 1-0 in the GLVC after defeating the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, 62-52, at Somers, Wisconsin, tonight.

USI leads the all-time series with UIndy, 54-22, after falling to the Greyhounds, 81-66, last season in Indianapolis. USI guard Jeril Taylor led three Eagles in double-digits with 20 points. The Eagles are 6-4 in the last 10 games versus the Greyhounds and 16-14 all-time at Nicoson Hall against UIndy.
