Tri-State Alliances Holds Service for Transgender Day of Remembrance

NOVEMBER 20TH, 2017  CHELSEA KOERBLER EVANSVILLE, INDIANA

A day to remember 23 lives lost across the U.S. due to hatred and violence of transgender individuals.

The Tri-State Alliance held a memorial service for Transgender Day of Remembrance.

TSA hopes events like this one spread the message that trans people are people.

While the memorial features people across the country, that doesn’t mean people in the transgender community in the Tri-State aren’t facing their own issues.

TSA says the most important thing people in the community can do to show their support of people who are transgender is to be open and listen without judgement.

“Even if your heart just sinks when you hear it just take a step back and say ‘I love you,’”said Kirt Etheridge, TSA Transgender Support Group member. “Because that’s the one thing that trans people in general are so scared they’re going to lose.”

USI’s Dahlstrom nets GLVC’s weekly honor

0
University of Southern Indiana senior forward Morgan Dahlstrom (Grayslake, Illinois) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Women’s Basketball Player of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday.

Dahlstrom averaged 17.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, helping the Screaming Eagles to Midwest Region wins over Ohio Dominican University and Wayne State University (Michigan).

In USI’s 77-50 win over Ohio Dominican, Dahlstrom had 15 points, nine rebounds and four steals as USI rallied from a three-point halftime deficit. Shew went 7-of-11 from the field and had a pair of blocks in the win.

Dahlstrom returned to the court in USI’s 77-54 win over Wayne State to rack up 19 points, eight rebounds and a pair of assists. She shot 8-of-16 from the field and was 3-of-3 from the charity stripe as the Eagles picked up their fourth straight win to begin the 2017-18 season.

For the week, Dahlstrom shot 55.6 percent (15-27) from the field while adding 2.5 steals, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 assists per contest.

Monday’s award marks the second time in Dahlstrom’s career she has earned GLVC Player of the Week honors—she previously claimed the distinction December 21, 2015—and the first time a USI Women’s Basketball player has earned the accolade since Tanner Marcum was named GLVC Player of the Week to close out the 2016-17 campaign.

USI (4-0) returns to action Saturday when it takes on Midwest Region foe Grand Valley State University at the Bellarmine Thanksgiving Classic in Louisville, Kentucky. The Eagles also play Northern Michigan University Sunday in Louisville before opening GLVC play November 30 against Lewis University.

Indiana’s King Wins Two Golden Goggle Awards

0

Indiana University’s Lilly King took home two awards at the 2017 USA Swimming Golden Goggle Awards at the J.W. Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE on Sunday night.

King won Female Race of the Year honors, as well as Relay Performance of the Year. The Evansville, Ind. native now has three Golden Goggle Awards to her name, as she won Breakout Performer of the Year in 2016.

King earned Female Race of the Year honors for the highly anticipated women’s 100m breaststroke final at the 2017 FINA World Championships. She jumped out to a quick lead off the blocks, led by more than half a second at the turn and held off the rest of the field over the final 50 meters to touch in a world record time of 1:04.13 – more than two-tenths of a second off the 4-year-old world record.

King and teammates Kathleen Baker, Kelsi Worrell and Simone Manuel added Relay Performance of the Year honors after winning gold and setting a world record in the women’s 4x100m medley relay at the FINA World Championships.

Along with King, two other Hoosiers were nominated for 2017 Golden Goggle Awards.

Blake Pieroni was nominated as part of the men’s 4×100 freestyle relay at the 2017 FINA World Championships. The Americans led wire-to-wire to claim their first victory in the event at the FINA World Championships since 2009.

IU head swimming coach Ray Looze was nominated for Coach of the Year after guiding four swimmers to spots on the U.S. roster at the FINA World Championships and all earned a spot on the podium. Lilly King led the way with four gold medals, as well as world-record performances in the 50m and 100m breaststroke events.

Pieroni, Zane Grothe and Cody Miller combined to earn five relay medals in Budapest. A women’s assistant coach for the FINA World Championships, Looze was named the 2017 ASCA Coach of the Year. He also led Indiana to top-eight finishes at the men’s and women’s NCAA Championships in 2017.

The No. 1/9 Indiana Hoosiers men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will be back in the pool on Wednesday, Dec. 20 when the team takes on No. 11/24 Arizona State in a dual meet in Tempe, Ariz.
