 Another home Missouri Valley Conference match is up next for the University of Evansville women’s tennis team as they welcome Southern Illinois to Wesselman Park on Friday for a 2 p.m. match.

Despite falling in their last two matches, the Purple Aces have been on a nice roll, going 7-5 in their last 12 outings.  Freshman Diana Tkachenko paces the squad with 15 singles wins.  Most of her work has come in the second flight as she has registered 14 wins in that spot.

Andrea Pascual-Larrinaga has had a steady spring season, going 13-8.  She has earned wins in the third through sixth flights. At the top of the lineup, Chieko Yamada has recorded eight victories, all coming in the top flight.

Southern Illinois comes into Friday’s match with an overall mark of 6-9.  In their MVC opener last Saturday, the Salukis fell to Wichita State by a 5-2 final.  Prior to that, they defeated Alabama State, 4-3, before dropping a 4-1 decision to Saint Louis.

Xiwei Cal paces SIU with 12 wins on the season.  Athena Chrysanthou, Polina Dozortseva and Ana Sofia Cordero have notched 10 wins apiece.

Supreme Court Suspends Attorney For Mismanaging Funds

Supreme Court Suspends Attorney For Mismanaging Funds

IL for www.theindianalawyer.com

An Indianapolis attorney accused of mismanaging trust funds for both himself and other attorneys and clients has been suspended from the practice of law in Indiana for 180 days.

According to the disciplinary order handed down Wednesday, Tarek E. Mercho of Indianapolis law firm Mercho Caughey “misappropriate funds from his attorney trust account over a period of several years, making dozens of disbursements of client funds for purely personal purposes.” On at least two occasions, Mercho disbursed funds that were held in trust for another attorney and that attorney’s client.

After the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission began an investigation into Mercho’s conduct, the attorney made false statements to the commission and submitted a client ledger with false entries to extricate himself from the disciplinary process, the order says. Both the commission and the hearing officer found that Mercho had violated Professional Conduct Rules 1.15(a) and 8.1(a) and Admission and Discipline Rules 23(29)(a)(4)(2016) and 23(29)(1)(5)(2016) in connection with the funds mismanagement and his dishonesty during the investigation.

The commission also alleged that Mercho violated Professional Conduct Rule 8.4(b) and 8.4(c) on the basis that his financial mismanagement was criminal in nature. However, both the hearing officer and the court, with Justice Robert Rucker acting as chief justice, found that the commission did not sustain its burden of proof on those charges.

The hearing officer recommended a 90-day suspension followed by a one-year probationary period, while the commission recommended a one-year suspension without automatic reinstatement. The court ultimately chose to impose a 180-day suspension effective May 10, with 90 days actively served and the remaining time stayed subject to completion of at least one year of probation, including trust account monitoring by a certified public accounting.

Mercho’s probation will remain in effect until it is terminated pursuant to a petition filed under Admission and Discipline Rule 23(16), the court wrote in its order.  Additionally, Mercho may not undertake any new legal matters between now and May 10, and the costs of the proceeding are assessed against him.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University sophomore swimmer Lilly King, who won her third and fourth career NCAA titles earlier in March, has been nominated for the Honda Sport Award for women’s swimming & diving, Chris Voelz, Executive Director of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA), announced Thursday

At the NCAA Championships this season, King successfully defended her crowns in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke, becoming the first woman in Big Ten history to accomplish the feat. King’s four career individual titles are the most for any swimmer or diver in league history.

The sophomore set the American, NCAA, NCAA Meet, U.S. Open, IU Natatorium and IU school record in the 200 breast with the best time in the history of the event – 2:03.18. Overall, she is an eight-time All-American and captured two Olympic gold medals in the 2016 games, including the 100 breaststroke.

The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 41 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics.”  The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2017 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 26, 2017, in Los, Angeles.

In addition to King, the other nominees are Kathleen Baker of California Katie Ledecky and Simone Manuel from Stanford.

The nominees were chosen by a panel of coaches representing the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of American (CSCAA). The Honda Sport Award winner for swimming & diving will be announced next week after voting by administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Each NCAA member institution has a vote.

Aces Softball drops doubleheader versus KSU

0

 

Aces trek to Iowa this weekend

 Kent State erupted for 17 runs as they swept a doubleheader against the University of Evansville softball team on Wednesday night at Cooper Stadium.

The Golden Flashes (12-16) picked up a 9-1 win over Evansville (12-16) in game one before taking the second end of the doubleheader by a final of 8-2.

In the top of the second inning of game one, the Golden Flashes struck first.  Three walks loaded up the bases before the first run scored on a wild pitch.  Two more crossed the plate on a Jen Cader double as KSU took a 3-0 advantage before another run scored on an error.

UE got one of the runs back in the bottom of the second.  Morgan Lambert led the frame off with a triple and came home when Tess Hupe singled up the middle.  KSU got the run back in the third and added their sixth one on a Maddy Grimm home run to left in the fifth.  The Golden Flashes cruised from there to take the 9-1 win.

The Aces notched six hits in the game with Courtney Land notching two of them.  Bailey Brownfield had three of KSU’s 10 hits while Jen Cader had three RBI.  Janel Hayes picked up the win for the Golden Flashes, going the distance allowing one run.  Emily Lockhart took the loss for UE, going 1 1/3 innings, giving up four runs and four walks.

Game two saw Kent State pick up right where they left off in game one, scoring four times in the first.  They did their damage on one hit and three walks.

UE loads bases in the second inning, but were unable to capitalize.  In the fourth, the Golden Flashes plated two more runs as Maddy Grimm hit a homer to left, her second of the doubleheader.  Evansville got on the board in the bottom of the sixth as Bailee Bostic hit a 2-run double, but KSU grabbed the 8-2 triumph.  They recorded seven hits while holding UE to six.

A trip to Iowa is on tap for the Aces this weekend as they travel to Cedar Falls for a 3-game set against UNI.  Next Wednesday, UE is back at Cooper Stadium for a doubleheader against Austin Peay.  It is set to begin at 2 p.m.

University of Southern Indiana Softball swept a Midwest Region doubleheader from former Great Lakes Valley Conference foe Kentucky Wesleyan College Wednesday night at the USI Softball Field. The No. 10 Screaming Eagles earned an 8-0 win in six innings in game one before defeating the Panthers, 2-1, in the night cap.

USI (26-6), which jumped four spots to No. 10 in the latest NFCA Top 25 Coaches’ Poll, returns to GLVC action Saturday when it visits McKendree University for a noon doubleheader in Lebanon, Illinois.

Southern Indiana (26-6): 8, Kentucky Wesleyan (18-12): 0

Box Score (6 inn.)

USI scored three runs in each of the first two innings as it cruised to a 6-0 lead over Kentucky Wesleyan. Senior catcher Haley Hodges(Portage, Indiana) had an RBI-double to put the Eagles on the scoreboard in the top of the first inning, while senior outfielder Grace Clark (Indianapolis, Indiana) had a two-run double two batters later to put USI in front, 3-0.

Sophomore utility player Caitlyn Bradley (Forest, Indiana) led the second inning off with a solo home run, while junior first baseman Marleah Fossett (Brownsburg, Indiana) had a two-run home run later in the frame to give USI a commanding 6-0 advantage.

Junior designated player Alex Logan (Carleton, Michigan) had an RBI-double in the third inning to give USI a 7-0 lead, while freshman outfielder Allison Schubert (Nicholasville, Kentucky) drove in the game-ending run with an RBI-groundout in the sixth frame.

Freshman pitcher Jennifer Leonhardt (Louisville, Kentucky) earned her sixth complete-game shutout of the season. Leonhardt (14-1) struck out a pair of batters while allowing just two hits in six innings of work.

Box Score

The Eagles got an RBI from Hodges in the bottom of the first inning and an RBI from junior outfielder Olivia Clark-Kittleson (Carbondale, Illinois) in the fourth frame to build a 2-0 lead they would not relinquish.

Kentucky Wesleyan (18-12) got a run in the sixth inning to cut the deficit in half. The Panthers had the tying run on first in the top of the seventh inning, but a game-ending double-play ended the threat and gave USI sophomore pitcher Courtney Atkisson (Bringhurst, Indiana) the complete-game victory.

Atkisson (9-3) allowed just one unearned run off five hits in seven innings of work to earn her ninth win of the year. She recorded three strikeouts and did not issue a walk.
