Will Knights Earns Second All-America Scholar 

Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars for Divisions I, II and the NAIA have been announced by the GCAA. A total of 212 players in Division I, 91 in Division II and 12 in NAIA earned the honor. Additionally, 41 honorees were added to the previously released Division III Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholars.

To be eligible for Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-America Scholar status an individual must be a junior or senior academically, compete in at least three full years at the collegiate level, participate in 50-percent of his team’s competitive rounds, have a stroke-average under 76.0 in Division I, 78.0 in Division II, 77.0 in NAIA and 79.0 in Division III, and maintain a minimum cumulative career grade-point average of 3.2. A recipient must also be of high moral character and be in good standing at his college or university.

For the second time in as many years, Purple Aces senior Will Knights garnered the honor.  He wrapped up a great career at the University of Evansville with a GPA of 3.81 as a Marketing major.  On the course, he got the job done once again.  Knights finished his senior campaign with a 75.96 stroke average.

In the Butler Invitational last fall, Knights had the lowest round of his career, posting a 67 on his way to a tie for 17th place.  His top finish of the year came at the Don Benbow Invitational in March as he tied for 6th place out of 47 golfers.

THE BRIAN SETZER ORCHESTRA’S 13TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS ROCKS! TOUR

  Tickets are $74.50,
$59.50,
$49.50
and $39.50
Iconic guitarist, songwriter, vocalist and 3-time Grammy-award-winner, is a “Musician’s Musician” credited with continually taking chances with innovative and daring musical styles, while single-handedly resurrecting two forgotten genres of music (rockabilly in the ‘80’s and swing in the ’90’s). Along the way, he has scored chart-topping hits, sold 13 million records and received the Orville H. Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award throughout his decorated career as founder/leader of the Stray Cats, his 18-piece Brian Setzer Orchestra , and as a solo artist. He is consistently cited as one of the world’s greatest living guitarists, and has a best-selling, extensive line of elite Gretsch signature model guitars bearing his name. Brian appeared in the 1987 film, La Bamba, portraying rockabilly pioneer Eddie Cochran. In 2002, Brian earned the privilege of being one of the few musicians to be animated in an episode of “The Simpsons,” alongside Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Tom Petty. That same year, Setzer was personally requested to induct Chet Atkins into the 17th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2014, SETZER  received the distinct honor of being asked by the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. to donate a replica of his original 1959 Gretsch 6120 “Stray Cat” guitar, joining an elite collection of musical instruments at the museum including Dizzy Gillespie’s trumpet and John Coltrane’s saxophone.

New scoreboard highlights UE softball facility upgrades

Cooper Stadium is one of the top facilities in the MVC

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Capping off a season that saw the University of Evansville softball team finish with one of the top ten turnarounds in the NCAA, the program added yet another improvement to its home venue – Cooper Stadium.

Thanks to the generosity of supporter Jim Domen, a new scoreboard was installed at the stadium this week and is already fully operational.  This adds to an already impressive list of improvements to the venue under head coach Mat Mundell.  Other additions included: new awnings, purple windscreens around the outfield and new padding at the facility.

“It is an exciting day for Aces Softball with the addition of the new scoreboard.  I want to thank Jim Domen for his generous contributions to the softball program,” Mundell said.  “The great thing is that we continue to invest back into our facilities. Last season we were able to add new canopies on Cooper Stadium as well as padding for our on batting cages.  Our goal is clear to have Cooper Stadium be one of the best facilities in the MVC.”

Domen echoed those sentiments and is excited for his contribution to the program.

“I have been following UE athletics for a long time and got involved with the softball program when Gwen (Lewis) was still there.  When Coach Mundell arrived a few years ago, it really spiked my interest and I wanted to go all in and back him up,” Domen said.  “I enjoy supporting the program any way that I can in order to make this a better experience for the student-athletes.  I am very happy to do this project, the scoreboard will be there for a long time.”

This project replaces the old scoreboard, which has been utilized by the program for the last 20 years.  It was at the team’s old softball facility before being moved to Cooper Stadium in 2002.  It has been the main scoreboard at the facility since that time.
