EVANSVILLE, Ind. – This morning, University of Evansville Head Women’s Tennis Coach Jayson Wiseman announced the signing of Nicoli Attili Pereira to a National Letter of Intent to join the Purple Aces Women’s Tennis Program beginning fall of 2016.

Pereira has been ranked as high as #3 in Brazil for Girl’s 18 and under.

“I am exceptionally pleased to announce the addition of Nicoli Pereira to our program for the 2016-17 season,” Wiseman said.  “Her all court game and match experience at such a high level will be an excellent addition to our line up in both singles and doubles.”

“The addition of Nicoli to this recruiting class along with our returning players gives us much more quality and depth than last season,” Wiseman added.  “With the group of young women we will have on the courts next season, we have great expectations for next year.

California-Based Tech Firm Relocating Headquarters from Silicon Valley to Indiana

0

Indianapolis - Governor Mike Pence and Lt. Governor Eric Holcomb joined Carmel city officials and executives from Determine Inc. (NASDAQ: DTRM) today as the company announced plans to relocate its headquarters from San Mateo, California, to Carmel, Indiana, advancing growth in Central Indiana’s tech community which is adding jobs three times faster than the national average.

“Indiana’s tech sector is thriving, and today I am proud to mark yet another milestone as we welcome Determine’s global headquarters to the Hoosier state,” said Governor Pence. “In Indiana, we maintain a balanced budget and have cut costs and taxes, creating a fiscally predictable environment that allows entrepreneurs and job creators to invest in what matters most – their business and their employees. With a strong community of innovators, top universities training tomorrow’s leaders and a business climate designed for job creation, I am confident that Indiana will be a key partner in supporting Determine’s growth worldwide.”

Determine, a global provider of cloud-based contract lifecycle management, will invest $720,191 to lease and equip a 9,000-square-foot office at 615 W. Carmel Drive in Carmel, which will officially become Determine’s global headquarters this month. Expanding from an Indiana satellite office in Carmel, the build out of the new space is now complete and the headquarters will provide a home base for the company’s growing operations worldwide, which today also includes offices in California, Georgia, France and the United Kingdom. Serving more than 300 clients around the world, including many Fortune 100 companies, Determine’s customers include Kellogg’s, Republic Airways, Sony Music Entertainment, Brunswick, AOL, Cushman & Wakefield and Nordstrom.

As part of its growth, Determine plans to add 24 high-wage jobs at its new Hamilton County headquarters by 2019. The company currently employs more than 160 associates globally, including approximately 35 in Indiana. Determine is now hiring for customer support, professional services, software development and financial positions. Interested applicants may apply online at www.determine.com/jobs.

“We are so excited to be moving from California’s Silicon Valley to Indiana’s Silicon Prairie to make our new corporate home,” said Patrick Stakenas, president and chief executive officer of Determine. “The exceptionally high quality of the talent pool in Indiana, the strong, growing technology sector along with a centralized location, which makes it easy for us to stay in touch with our operations in Europe as well as the West Coast, made the choice obvious. Locating in Carmel offers us an extremely solid business environment and a quality of life that will allow us to attract and retain talented employees. Due to these key points, the bulk of our future U.S.-based growth will be in Indiana, and we look forward to a long and valued relationship with the city of Carmel and the state of Indiana.”

Founded as Selectica in 1996, the company rebranded as Determine just last year after acquiring Carmel-based Iasta in 2014 and France-based b-pack in 2015. With the merger of the three companies, Determine is a leading global provider of SaaS Source to Pay and Enterprise Contract Lifecycle Management solutions offered through the Determine Cloud Platform, which includes strategic sourcing, supplier management, contract management and procure-to-pay applications. Determine was recently recognized by Spend Matters, a business-to-business publication, as a Top 50 Provider to Know after earning $7.1 million in revenue in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016.

“Carmel is always pleased when a company decides to establish its headquarters here,” said Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard. “But it’s even more gratifying when a company as prestigious as Determine, which was already in a great location near San Francisco, recognizes the benefits of moving its headquarters to Indiana, specifically Carmel. We welcome Determine into our family of more than 100 corporate headquarters and we look forward to watching you expand in the future.”

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Determine Inc. up to $400,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Carmel supports the project.

In Indiana, Determine is joining a booming tech community and a growing list of firms like Appirio and Rook Security that have relocated headquarters operations from California. Just last month, California-based Salesforce announced plans to invest $40 million into its Indiana operations, establishing Salesforce Tower Indianapolis and creating 800 new high-wage jobs over the next few years. According to real estate firm CBRE Research, the Indianapolis area added more than 3,000 high-tech jobs from 2012 to 2014, growing at a rate of 18 percent and exceeding the national average of 5.7 percent.

USI finishes 25th in final Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings

0

The University of Southern Indiana Department of Athletics posted its second consecutive top 25 finish in the Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings, finishing the 2015-16 academic year ranked No. 25 in the nation as announced by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics.

USI, which is under the leadership of Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall, was one of three Great Lakes Valley Conference schools to be ranked in the top 25, with Lewis University and the University of Indianapolis finishing sixth and seventh, respectively.

Grand Valley State University held its position as the top Athletic Department in the country for the third straight year and 11th time in the last 13 years after racking up 1070 points, more than 300 points ahead of second-place St. Leo University.

The Screaming Eagles, who finished with 463.0 points, got scoring contributions in nine sports, including six of their eight spring sports.

“We are proud of our top 25 finish in the Learfield Directors’ Cup Standings this year,” Hall said. “Our cross country programs had an outstanding fall and our spring sports really finished strong for us, capped by the great postseason run by our baseball team.

“This is a true indication of how hard our student-athletes and coaches are working and we hope we can continue to improve on our place in these standings,” Hall continued. USI was 24th a year ago after finishing 32nd in 2013-14. Its top finish prior to the 2014-15 season was 30th in 1997-98.

USI Men’s and Women’s Cross Country began the year with 10th-place finishes at the NCAA II Championships before Men’s Track & Field earned a 26th-place finish at the NCAA II Indoor Championships.

In the spring, the Eagles received contributions from Men’s Tennis, Softball, and Women’s Golf before Men’s and Women’s Track & Field posted finishes of 21st and 31st, respectively, at the NCAA II Outdoor Championships.

USI Baseball capped the year off with its fourth NCAA II Championship Series appearance in the last 10 years.

After finishing the fall season ranked No. 24, the Eagles dropped into a tie for No. 53 in the standings with 182 total points heading into the spring. USI, however, received a combined 280.5 points from its spring sports, including a Department-best 78 from Baseball, to leap-frog back into the top 25. The 280.5 points ranked No. 14 in the nation for spring sport scoring.

In all, Men’s Cross Country/Track & Field accounted for 167 points, while Women’s Cross Country/Track & Field accounted for 108 points. Women’s Golf racked up 60 points, while Softball and Men’s Tennis each contributed 25 points.

On the conference level, USI finished fourth in the final All-Sports Trophy standings for 2015-16. The Eagles were eighth in the Commissioner’s Cup standings in 2015-16.

UE Women’s Tennis Recruiting Class Receives National Recognition

0

Aces finish with 33rd-best class in the nation

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Despite not being on the courts for over a month, it has been an exciting few weeks for the Purple Aces Women’s tennis program, and Head Coach Jayson Wiseman. In addition to adding top ranked Brazilian prospect Nicoli Pereira to the program this week, the Aces received national recognition for the three incoming freshman recruits signed earlier this year.

On May 30th TennisRecruiting.net’s posted their final spring recruiting class rankings. The rankings, determined by a panel of recruiting experts, had the University of Evansville class of Theodora Soldatou, Diana Tkachenko, and Andrea Pascual-Larrinaga among the top 35 classes in the country.

Finishing with 17 votes for the Top 25 was good enough to land the Aces the 33rd ranked class in the country. The Aces finished ranked just ahead of several Power 5 Conference teams Vanderbilt, Nebraska, Oklahoma, St. John’s, Texas A&M, Kansas, and Penn State. At #33 the Aces were the fifth-highest ranking Mid Major recruiting class by the panel.

Today, TennisRecruiting.net posted their final spring Mid Major recruiting class rankings and UE Tennis was once again recognized among the best in the nation. This ranking list, compiled by TRN’s top recruiting analyst Dallas Oliver, compiles the top classes for all schools not in a Power 5 Conference. According to TRN the Aces have the #8 recruiting class among all Mid Major schools.

“It is always very gratifying to have your hard work recognized by such well respected members of the tennis community,” Wiseman said.  “A lot of time and effort went in to bringing this recruiting class together and I am extremely excited to coach the group of young women we have coming in for the fall.”

“I could not have put together this class without the help of Dr. Shane Davidson, Kiersten Saltwick, Andy Brunner, and Sarah Solinsky. Now that we have the assembled this group of talented young ladies, the pressure is on to live up to such lofty expectations.”

Evansville, IN- Multi-platinum MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner, one of country music’s most recognizable hit- makers has just announced a stop in Evansville at the Victory Theatre on September 17th. With a rich, deep voice and distinctive style, Turner has sold more than 12 million units, is a disciple of traditional country music and one of the youngest members of the Grand Ole Opry. From his 2003 Platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his most recent 2012 Billboard No. 1 release Punching Bag, Turner has garnered multiple GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM nominations. Turner’s hits include “Your Man,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Firecracker,” “Would You Go with Me,” “All Over Me,” and “Time Is Love,” the most played country song of 2012.

The Hannah, S.C. native has been songwriting and performing since he was a young child, and in support of music education, created The Josh Turner Scholarship Fund to assist students interested in pursuing a future in arts and music.
