0

Aces duo led UE to sweep over Drake 

Morgan Lambert and Brittany Hay earned weekly Missouri Valley Conference awards on Monday in an announcement by the league.

Lambert was named the league’s Player of the Week while Hay garnered Newcomer of the Week accolades.

“Morgan had some clutch hits for us this week driving in runs; she has been one of our best hitters over the last three seasons and this is a great honor for her,” UE head coach Mat Mundell said.  “Brittany had one of the best conference offensive series that I have ever seen.  When she goes, our offense goes.”

An amazing week of play saw UE senior Morgan Lambert bat .500, going 9-18 with two home runs, 9 RBI and four runs scored.  She reached base 52.6% of the time while slugging .944.  She got off to a quick start against Austin Peay on Wednesday, going 2-4 with a home run and four RBI.  She also scored two runs in a 10-7 victory.

In the doubleheader finale, she went 1-3.  Lambert went 1-4 in the first game at Drake before registering a perfect 3-3 performance from the plate in game two.  That effort included a double and home run.  On Sunday, she helped the Aces pick up the sweep with a 2-4 offensive day with three RBI, a walk and a run scored.  She notched her second double of the week.

Aces junior Brittany Hay batted .474 as she went 9-19 with a home run, three RBI and four doubles against Austin Peay and Drake.  One of the top run producers in the MVC got the job done once again, scoring nine times over the last week of play.  All of her damage came against the Bulldogs in an unbelievable performance that saw UE pick up the road sweep.  In game one versus the Bulldogs, she went 3-4 with three runs scored and a walk as UE picked up an 8-2 victory.

Hay came right back in game two with a 2-3 day at the plate with three RBI and three runs scored as she belted a home run and a double.  Sunday’s 13-5 win saw Hay erupt for a career-high four hits in five plate appearances.  She crossed the plate three more times.

USI’s Leonhardt earns third GLVC weekly honor

0

University of Southern Indiana freshman hurler Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Softball Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league office Monday.

 

Earning her third honor of the year, Leonhardt played a pivotal part in helping the No. 10 Screaming Eagles post a 5-1 record this past week, including a doubleheader sweep of No. 14 University of Indianapolis.

 

For the week, Leonhardt (20-1) went 4-0 with a 1.09 ERA and a .211 opponent batting average. She struck out 25 batters in 25.2 innings of work as she became the first 20-game winner since Brooke Harmening in 2015.

 

Leonhardt, who is 20-1 on the year with a 1.16 ERA, needs just five wins to tie USI Hall of Fame member Amy Stetler’s single-season record of 25, set in 1998. She also is just three shutouts shy of Stetler’s mark of 13, also set in 1998.

 

USI (34-8, 13-5 GLVC), which has had either a player or pitcher recognized with a GLVC weekly honor in each of the last five weeks, returns to action Friday at noon when it hosts the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at the USI Softball Field.

 

The Eagles, who have had a GLVC Pitcher or Player of the Week in seven of the last eight weeks, continue their 10-game homestand with a doubleheader against Lewis University Saturday at noon.

Indiana Nonprofit Resource Network Upcoming Workshop

  Michael Austin to Deliver UE Crick Lecture on April 12

0

University of Evansville executive vice president for academic affairs Michael Austin will deliver the University’s final Crick Lecture of the 2016-17 school year. His topic will be “A Certain Convocation of Politic Worms: Literature and the Fear of Being Eaten.” The lecture will be April 12 at 4:00 p.m., in Room 100 in the Koch Center for Engineering and Science.

All Crick Lectures are free and open to the public and aimed at a general audience. The series is jointly sponsored by the Cognitive Science and Neuroscience programs.

In this presentation, Austin will draw on his book Useful Fictions: Evolution, Anxiety, and the Origins of Literature to try to answer the question “why does a species whose survival depends on the ability to collect and use accurate information have a universal predilection for fictional narratives?”

The answer takes us far back into humanity’s evolutionary past and deep into a cognitive structure that evolved to help organisms compete for resources in an environment full of dangerous predators and perilous situations.

Griffin named GLVC Pitcher of the Week

0

University of Southern Indiana junior right-hander Kyle Griffin (Morganfield, Kentucky) has been named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week after posting a 6-0 shutout of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside on Saturday. Griffin threw a seven-inning complete game, scattering five hits and striking out seven Rangers.

After a slow start to 2017 that saw the junior right-hander post a 0-3 record and a 6.88 ERA, Griffin has become a force on the mound for the Eagles. USI has won his last four starts, while Griffin has evened his season mark at 3-3 and produced a 2.77 ERA in four games and 26 innings of work. Griffin also has averaged 7.3 strikeouts per game, recording a season-high 11 in his win over the University of Illinois Springfield in his previous start.

USI returns to action Tuesday when the Eagles travel to the University of Missouri-St. Louis for a 2:30 p.m. non-conference contest. The Eagles and Griffin return to the friendly surroundings of the USI Baseball Field Friday and Saturday when they host McKendree University for a GLVC four-game set.
