Florey picks up fourth Newcomer of the Week Award

0

Florey posted four wins in the last five games

ST. LOUIS – For the fourth time this season and second week in a row, University of Evansville freshman pitcher Morgan Florey has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week.

Florey had another strong week in the circle as she picked up four victories while notching an ERA of 1.70 over 24 2/3 innings of work. She struck out 20 batters while walking just six. In what has been the best game of her young career at UE so far, Florey opened up Tuesday’s doubleheader at SIU with a complete game 1-hitter as the Purple Aces earned a 1-0 win. In game two against the Salukis, Florey went right back to work, entering the game in the third with the contest tied at 2-2. She threw the final 4.2 innings, giving up just three hits and striking out seven before the offense pushed the winning run across in the 6th.

The Peoria, Ill. native threw another complete game in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader at Indiana State, going five innings while giving up two runs. On Sunday, she came in and threw four innings of relief once again as UE scored twice in the seventh to clinch the series. Her four wins this week brought her season win total to 15. At the plate, she hit .267 with a home run, four RBIs and a pair of runs scored.

This weekend, Florey and the Purple Aces will be back in action as they are set to host Missouri State in a 3-game set at Cooper Stadium on Saturday and Sunday.

Supreme Court clarifies employment discrimination case

0

Scott Roberts for www,theindianalawyer.com

The Indiana Supreme Court clarified an employment discrimination case Friday afternoon in one of the last opinions written by retiring Justice Brent Dickson. The decision explained when summary judgment should be used and what courts should be looking for when deciding such cases, ultimately affirming the Court of Appeals.

Adam Gaff appealed a case where summary judgment was granted to his employer, Indiana-Purdue University of Fort Wayne, after he was terminated. He said the trial court erred when it granted summary judgment as that violated his federal and state constitutional claims.

Indiana’s summary judgment standard is higher than the federal standard, and the COA said Indiana’s standard does not apply to lawsuits that fall under the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s Title VII standard, as Gaff’s did. It affirmed summary judgment for the school. The Supreme Court, however, said Indiana’s standard ruled.

Dickson wrote a plaintiff seeking a federal statutory cause of action in Indiana courts is subject to federal law. However, state court proceedings in which a claim is pursued are governed by the law of forum, in Gaff’s case Indiana law.

“Thus, while the plaintiff’s cause of action arises under federal law, summary judgment proceedings arising under Indiana Trial Rule 56 are governed by Indiana summary judgment procedure jurisprudence,” Dickson wrote.

Because of that, instead of the moving party, Gaff, having to show IPFW lacks evidence on a necessary element, IPFW had to affirmatively negate Gaff’s case.

The Supreme Court said IPFW did that because the only “protected activity” Gaff claims under the statute is his complaint that a co-worker called him derogatory names based on his weight and sexual orientation. Those did not meet the definition of discrimination because of sex, race, national origin or some other protected class, so IPFW satisfied its burden to negate the plaintiff’s claim.

The case is Adam Gaff v. Indiana-Purdue University of Fort Wayne, 02S03-1604-PL-201.

USI WG selected for NCAA II Super Regional

0

For the fifth-straight year and the 11th-time in the last 13 years, the University of Southern Indiana women’s golf team will play in the NCAA Division II East Super-Regional Tournament. The three-day, 54-hole tournament is May 2-4 at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Illinois.

USI, which either has had a team or an individual qualify for the NCAA II Tournament for the last 14th seasons, earned the fourth seed in the 12-team field after finishing third this past weekend at the Great Lakes Valley Conference Championship.

The top three teams along with the top three individuals, not on a top-three team, will advance to the NCAA Division II Women’s Golf Championships, which is May 18-21 at Common Ground Golf Course in Aurora, Colorado. The championships will be a part of the 2016 NCAA Division II Championship Festival, which is hosted by Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Denver Sports Commission.

Sophomore Taylor Howerton leads the Eagles this spring, posting a 77.8 shots per round average (spr) since joining the squad in January. She was USI’s top finisher at the GLVC Championships this past weekend, placing sixth with a 10-over 226 (78-76-72).

Howerton is joined by an experienced squad of Eagles in junior Allison Koester and seniors Anastasia Carter, Brittanie Garrison, and Molly English. Carter, who won the GLVC individual title in 2014, was second on the squad with a 78.5 spr, while Garrison, who earlier this spring shattered the USI records for 18 and 54 holes at the Perry Park Spring Fling and tied for 12th at the GLVC Championships, has a 79.17 spr in 2015-16.

Koester, who was the 2015 GLVC individual champion and tied for 12th this year in the GLVC Championships, was fourth on the squad with a 79.2 spr. English rounds out the Eagles’ top five with an 81.4 spr.

As a team in 2015-16, USI posted a 314.7 spr as a team in 11 tournaments. The Eagles also won five tournaments this year, including three of the last four in the spring.

The Eagles will be one of six GLVC teams earning a spot in the 12-team field. Second-seeded University of Indianapolis, fifth-seeded University of Missouri-St. Louis, 11th-seeded Lewis University and 12th-seeded Drury University also qualified for the event.

The remaining six slots in the field went to Grand Valley State University (first), the University of Findlay (third), Ashland University (sixth), California University (Pennsylvania) (seventh), Northwood University (eighth), and Trevecca Nazarene University (ninth).

In the 2015 NCAA II East Super-Regional, USI placed seventh with a three-round 958 (321-308-329). Garrison was the Eagles’ top player last spring with a three-round 235 (77-76-82) and tied for 17th.
