Event held on campus on Friday

 A crowd of close to 400 people were in attendance at the 2017 version of Lunch with the Aces as the event returned to campus for the second year in a row.

Highlighting the event was keynote speaker Andy Elkins, who reminisced about his journey that started in high school in Evansville and continued as a member of the Purple Aces in the early 1990’s.  He spoke of his memories of playing at Roberts Stadium, the path his teammates took to the NCAA Tournament and NIT and how the University of Evansville prepared him for his future.

A special presentation was made at the beginning of the program by Purple Aces Club President Don Apple.  He gave out the first-ever Purple Aces Club Student-Athlete of the Year Award, which will now be given annually to a male and female student-athlete at UE.

The criteria include:

  • The student/athlete, should maintain an accumulative GPA of 3.0 or above.
  • Displays the true Spirit of the University of Evansville.
  • Maintains a positive attitude and show flexibility at adapting to challenging situations.
  • Displays a high level of integrity, by leading through example.
  • Provides encouragement and support to other students (athlete & non-athlete; upperclassman & underclassman).
  • Excels in community spirit and relations.
  • Willing to give time to Community Service.
  • Willing to give/spend time with the young Aces fan base.

Earning the awards were Whitney Biggs of women’s soccer and David Howard from the Aces men’s basketball team.

“I would like to thank all those who sent in nomination forms.  This award would not be possible, without the nomination from UE staff, faculty and administrators,” Apple said.  “On behalf of the PAC Board of Directors, we would like to congratulate Whitney and David.  They are both very deserving and set a high standard for all those that follow for years to come.”

Kyle Peach of UE’s ESPN3 crew was the emcee for the event while Marx BBQ provided the food.  A special thanks also go out to Lumaworx for their assistance.  At the completion of the event, a video presentation was shown to the fans, courtesy of Purple Aces Productions.

Aces pick up 4-3 triumph

 A full team effort saw the University of Evansville women’s tennis team pick up a big Missouri Valley Conference win over Southern Illinois on Friday as UE took a 4-3 triumph.

“This was a battle from start to finish and we had to fight for everything today,” Purple Aces head coach Jayson Wiseman said.  “We were fortunate to get a fast start at both #1 & #2 doubles as clinching that point made all the difference.”

“We had a couple chances to clinch the victory, first at #6 which we came up short in the 3rd set tie-breaker, then at #1 singles,” Wiseman continued.  “Chieko showed tremendous heart coming back from down a set and down 5-2 to win 11 of the final 13 games to take the win and clinch the match.”

Evansville opened the day with success in doubles as Theodora Soldatou and Chieko Yamada won a 6-1 decision at flight one with Diana Tkachenko and Nicoli Pereira picking up a 6-2 win in the second flight to clinch the point.

Singles play saw Daria Pentsova and Tkachenko each earn 2-set wins.  Tkachenko picked up the win in a tiebreaker in the second flight while Pentsova was victorious in the fourth.  Clinching the victory was Yamada at top singles.  She fell in the first set before rallying for the win.

Home play continues for UE next weekend as the squad welcomes Bradley and Taylor University to Wesselman Park on Saturday, April 8.  The match versus the Braves starts at 11 a.m. before the second contest begins at 3 p.m.

Eagles back on track with doubleheader sweep

0

The University of Southern Indiana baseball team got back on track by sweeping a doubleheader from the University of Illinois Springfield, 4-2 and 10-2, Friday evening at Lenz Field in Jacksonville, Illinois. USI watched its record go to 11-12 overall and 4-2 in the GLVC, while Illinois Springfield goes to 14-11, 4-2 GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles got back on track in the opening game with the 4-2 victory. USI scored once in the third and seventh before sealing the victory with two tallies in the eighth.

USI senior right-hander Colin Nowak (Carol Stream, Illinois) was dominate on the mound in earning his third win of the year. Nowak (3-3) allowed one run on five hits and one walk, while striking out a season-high eight batters in seven innings.

Senior right-hander Justin Watts (Bryan, Ohio) closed out the final five outs for the Eagles to record his third save of the year. Watts, who got the Eagles out of a first and third one-out jam in the eighth, set down four of five batters and picked off a runner.

At the plate, sophomore shortstop Jacob Fleming (Evansville, Indiana) led the way with a three-for-three performance and scored twice. Junior centerfielder Buddy Johnson (Shelbyville, Illinois) and junior rightfielder Nick Gobert (Jasper, Indiana) followed with two hits each, while senior designated hitter Jaylen Quarles (Indianapolis, Indianapolis) drove a team-best two RBIs.

In the nightcap, the Eagles broke a 2-2 tie with an eight-run sixth inning to complete the doubleheader sweep with a 10-2 win. USI scored twice in the second inning on a two-run blast by sophomore catcher Logan Brown (Mt. Vernon, Indiana) before sealing the win with the eight-run explosion that was highlighted by a three-run triple by Johnson.

Brown, whose home run was his first as an Eagle, joined Johnson with three RBIs in the nightcap.

USI junior right-hander Kyle Griffin (Morganfield, Kentucky) made the most of the Eagles offensive explosion to post his second win of the season. Griffin (2-3), who allowed the two runs on six hits, struck out a season-high 11 batters in his first complete game of the year.

The Eagles will look to get back to the .500 mark for the first time since second game of season when they complete the four-game series with Prairie Stars at noon Saturday with a doubleheader at the UIS Baseball Field in Springfield, Illinois.
