YESTERYEAR-Bud’s Service Station by Pat Sides

1

Bud’s Service Station was located at 1 Jefferson Avenue, where the street intersects with SE Second, a block south of the Alhambra Theater in the Haynie’s Corner district. This Mobilgas service station, designed in a quirky architectural style, was owned by Bud Johnson when it was photographed in 1950, shortly after it was built. It is now gone, but Evansville still has a few small service stations dating from this era, although they have been largely abandoned or were converted to other uses when larger “convenience stores” began to replace them.

Aces Cross Country Heads To Wisconsin

The University of Evansville cross country team will wrap up its 2016 season on Friday with a trip to the 2016 NCAA Great Lakes Regional.

Evansville will make the trip to the Thomas Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course in Madison, Wisc. for Friday’s races.  Taking to the course first will be the women, who will run a 6-kilometer race at noon.  The men will complete the event with a 10K run at 1 p.m.

A total of 34 women’s teams will be running in the regional while 31 men’s squads will be in attendance.

Two weeks ago, the Purple Aces ran at the Missouri Valley Conference Championship in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  Hannah Welsh ran one of her best races of the year for the women.  The freshman ran the 5K in 18:35.2.  She took 26th place out of the 80 runners.  Welsh’s finish was the best for a UE female since Kelby Jenkins finished 8th as a senior in 2013.  Welsh finished ahead of Sienna Crews, who took 35th.  Crews finished the race in a time of 18:54.6.

Michelle Karp was UE’s #3 runner.  The junior completed the race in 20:03.1.  For Karp, it was her second-fastest time of the season.  Ashton Bosler was next up.  She checked in with a 20:17.4.  Kylie Hasenour was fifth for UE, running her first MVC Championship in 21:21.9.

Ricky Hendrix was the top runner for the men, running the 8K in 27:45.5.  He came home in 56th out of the 69 runners.  Senior Ben Woolems was second on the squad.  He ran what was by far his best time of the season, circling the course in 28:48.0.  It was nearly three minutes faster than any other 8K race of the year.

Taking third on the team was Andrew Barrett.  A 28:56.5 was his third-best 8K race of the season.  Next was senior Ross Frondorf, who finished the race in 29:01.7.  Rounding out the Aces’ top five was Tucker Dawson.  The freshm

Volleyball welcomes Southern Illinois on Friday

Aces have just three matches remaining

Just three more matches remain in the 2016 campaign as the Purple Aces return home for all three.  One is on tap for this weekend as the Aces welcome Southern Illinois to the Carson Center on Friday evening.

Trips to Indiana State and Illinois State rounded completed UE’s road slate last weekend.  Despite dropping both matches, the squad competed to the end

Sophomore Mildrelis Rodriguez stands at 1,074 attempts on the season and officially moved into the top ten on the UE single season list.  Her tally is currently 8th.  Genesis Miranda set the single-season mark last year with 1,435. Two weeks ago, Rodriguez led the Purple Aces to their first conference win of the season and came close to making it 2-0 in a hard-fought match against Loyola.  Rodriguez notched a career-high 23 kills in a 5-set victory over Bradley on Friday while hitting .311.  She also led all players with an impressive 19 digs.  She followed that up with 15 more kills versus the Ramblers and 10 digs.

On her way to moving up the charts to 7th place in the MVC with 6.40 assists per set, Jelena Merseli has had a strong roll.  She has notched double digit assists in 12 of the last 13 matches.  She has posted a total of 634 assists this year.  In the Oct. 28 win over Bradley, Merseli set her career mark with 62 helpers.

Last season, Rocio Fortuny led the Purple Aces with 100 total blocks.  That tally looks to be attainable to a pair of Evansville players this season.  With three matches remaining, juniors Erlicia Griffith and Cathy Schreiber stand with 91 and 89, respectively.

Southern Illinois comes to the Carson Center on Friday in a battle for the top spot in the MVC.  The Salukis are 20-9 overall and 11-4 in the league.  Missouri State sits atop the league standings with a 12-2 mark.  Pacing the Salukis is the duo of Alex Rosignol and Kolby Meeks, who rank 3rd and 4th in the MVC in hitting percentage, respectively.  Meg Viggars runs the offense and is 8th in the Valley with 6.30 assists per set.
