Dinah is a 10-year-old female white Golden Retriever mix. She was recently seized from a failed sanctuary in Evansville, widely known as the “Hillview hoarding” case. She is very sweet and just as deserving of a home as a puppy would be. She weighs 54 lbs. and can stand to gain a little more. Her adoption fee has been reduced adoption to $50, and will still include her spay, microchip, heartworm test, and vaccines! Contact the Vanderburgh Humane Society at (812) 426-2563 for adoption details!

Florey won three games in last six days

 

  1. ST. LOUIS – For the second time in the 2017 season, University of Evansville sophomore Morgan Florey has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week in an announcement by the league on Monday.

Florey made three starts on the week, earning three wins and throwing a complete game each time, including a shutout over Loyola in the series opener. In 21 innings of work, she gave up just three earned runs while striking out an unbelievable 37 batters while walking just four. Opponents batted just .169 against her.

In Tuesday’s home opener against Northern Illinois, Florey went seven innings allowing two runs on six hits while tying her career mark with 14 strikeouts. She brought her best stuff once again in Saturday’s Valley opener versus Loyola, throwing a 1-hit shutout while fanning 11 batters.

Sunday’s finale saw her help UE to its first MVC series sweep since 2012 as she threw seven more innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out 12. At that plate, she hit a 3-run walk-off home run to clinch the victory.

Florey and the Aces are back home this weekend to face Bradley in a 3-game set.  On Saturday, the action begins with a 12 p.m. doubleheader before Sunday features one game at noon.  Sunday’s game will also see former UE softball player Beth Csukas honored with the Missouri Valley Conference Most Courageous Award.  All first responders (police, fire, EMT, etc.) will receive free admission to the game with proper ID.
