Eagles Tabbed For Second Place In GLVC East

0

The 23rd-ranked University of Southern Indiana baseball team is picked to finish second the Great Lakes Valley Conference East Division in 2017 after a vote of the league’s 16 head coaches. USI also tallied five first place votes of a possible 16 and 108 points in the poll.

The Screaming Eagles are coming off a 2016 season that saw USI finish with a 38-21 overall record and a GLVC mark of 20-8. For the fourth time in the past 10 seasons, the Eagles won an NCAA II Midwest Regional championship and moved on to the NCAA II Championship Series in Cary, North Carolina.

The University of Indianapolis (114 points, 10 first place votes) was selected to finish first in the GLVC East after capturing the GLVC Tournament title a year ago. The Eagles were followed in the poll by Bellarmine University (90) who earned the final first-place vote in the East, Saint Joseph’s College (70) and Lewis University (66), respectively, while the University of Illinois Springfield (60), McKendree University (31) and University of Wisconsin-Parkside (29) rounded out the division.

Quincy University, who are ranked 22nd nationally, took the top spot in the West Division with 116 points and 13 of the 16 first-place votes. Rockhurst University (85 points, two first-place votes) was picked to finish second in the West, while the University of Missouri of Science and Technology and William Jewel College were both picked third with 74 points. Missouri S&T also earned the final first-place vote.

Drury University (70 points) was predicted to place fifth, while the University of Missouri-St. Louis (61), Truman State University (57), and Maryville University (31) round out the eight-team division.

The Eagles start the 2017 campaign in Tampa, Florida for the second time in three years, taking on the second-ranked University of Tampa. The three-game series begins Friday, February 17.

USI’s Hodges named to National POY watch list

0

University of Southern Indiana Softball senior catcher Haley Hodges (Portage, Indiana) is one of 50 student-athletes from across the country to be selected to the watch list for the NFCA/Schutt Sports Division II National Player of the Year award in an announcement by the National Fastpitch Coaches’ Association Wednesday.

Hodges, who was a top-10 finalist for the award as a junior in 2016, was named first-team preseason All-America by Fastpitch News (FPN) two weeks ago after a historic 2016 season that saw her set single-season school records for home runs (22), RBIs (72), walks (45) and runs scored (58).

Along with leading the nation in slugging percentage (1.000) and on-base percentage (.578), Hodges ranked third, nationally, in home runs. She led the Great Lakes Valley Conference in batting average (.458), runs scored, RBIs and walks.

In 2016, Hodges was named the Diamond Sports Division II Catcher of the Year by the NFCA and was named first-team All-America byHerosports.com, the NFCA and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association.

Additionally, Hodges was named second-team Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors of America and was the GLVC Player of the Year.

Hodges is one of four players from the Great Lakes Valley Conference and one of six players from the Midwest Region to be recognized on the watch list. University of Indianapolis senior utility player Natalie Lalich, Truman State University sophomore outfielder Christa Reisinger and William Jewell College junior second baseman Brooke Benard joined Hodges as GLVC players on the list.

USI opens the 2017 season February 14 when it travels to Florence, Alabama, to take on defending NCAA II champion and preseason No. 1 University of North Alabama in a doubleheader. The Screaming Eagles host the Midwest Region Crossover February 24-26 at Deaconess Sports Park in Evansville.

Of the 50 players on the list, USI is slated to play games against nine of the players during the regular-season, including North Alabama senior pitcher Hillary Carpenter and junior outfielder Reagan Tittle.

Indiana’s Pieroni, Hixon Earn Weekly Big Ten Honors

0

Another week, another set of honors for Indiana University’s Blake Pieroni and Michael Hixon, as both earned weekly league accolades on Wednesday.

Pieroni was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week for the third time this season and for the sixth time in his career, while Hixon was honored as the Big Ten Diver of the Week for the third time this year and for the seventh time in his IU career.

Both Pieroni and Hixon helped the No. 4-ranked Hoosiers take down No. 7 Louisville last Friday, 195-105, to finish the dual-meet season undefeated at 11-0. The unblemished record is the first for IU since 1981.

Pieroni, a Chesterton, Ind. native, took home two individual wins and one relay win against the Cardinals. The Academic All-Big Ten selection touched first in the 100 freestyle (43.18) and the 200 freestyle (1:35.28) with NCAA B cuts and also helped the Hoosiers earn a victory in the 400 freestyle relay with a mark of 2:56.11.

Hixon was incredibly impressive in both the 1-meter and 3-meter dives against Louisville, posting NCAA qualifying marks in his two wins. The Amherst, Mass. native scored a 447.98 in the 1-meter and then followed that with a total of 464.56 in the 3-meter dive.

Victim’s posthumously admitted testimony supports murder conviction

0

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

A woman’s deposition identifying to police the man who shot her in the face was properly admitted in the suspect’s murder trial after the victim died, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday.

The panel affirmed murder and attempted murder convictions of Kenneth Brittain, who challenged the admissibility of the evidence as well as the trial court’s denial his motion for a mistrial. Brittain was convicted and sentenced to an aggregate 80 years in prison for the April 2013 murder of Timothy Denny and the attempted murder of Victoria Richie in Indianapolis.

Brittain sat behind the two in a truck during a drug transaction during which Richie said she turned to look at him only to find him holding a pistol on them. She said he fatally shot Denny before shooting her in the face. The truck crashed into a building, and police found Richie bleeding on the ground beside the crash.

Richie died in January 2014, before Brittain’s case came to trial, and he moved to exclude her sworn deposition testimony to investigators. In the deposition taken after her shooting, she identified Brittain as “Ken Bart,” a nickname he acknowledged he used, along with identifying characteristics.

Judge Elaine Brown wrote for the panel that unanimously affirmed Brittain’s conviction in Kenneth Brittain v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1511-CR-1784. “Brittain had the opportunity to and did cross-examine Richie, and accordingly we conclude that the court’s admission of Richie’s deposition did not violate Brittain’s confrontation rights under the Indiana Constitution,” Brown wrote. Likewise, the court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the deposition testimony into evidence.

Brittain also moved for a mistrial because handwritten notes from Richie were admitted in a trial when investigators asked her questions when she could not speak, and she wrote “Ken Bart” as the name of the man who shot her and Denny.

“Under these circumstances, in which Richie had just been brought to the hospital after being shot through the mouth, her vocalization was impaired, and she was situated in the shock room, we believe that she was still under the stress of excitement caused by the shooting and that she was accordingly incapable of thoughtful reflection, and we conclude that State’s Exhibit 11 was admissible as an excited utterance.  The court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted the exhibit, and it did not err in denying Brittain’s motion for a mistrial,” Brown wrote.
