Eagles and Pumas battle to a 2OT tie

0

The University of Southern Indiana women’s soccer team batted Saint Joseph’s College to a 1-1 double-overtime tie Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field. USI saw its record jump to 4-4-2 and 3-4-1 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, while Saint Joseph’s falls to 1-8-2, 1-6-1 GLVC.

The Screaming Eagles picked up the first half lead at 32:50 when freshman midfielder Olivia Wilde (Racine, Wisconsin) scored off a free kick from 25 yards out. The goal was Wilde’s second of the year.

USI would hold the 1-0 lead through the intermission and deep into the second half before Saint Joseph’s got the equalizer that would send the match into overtime at 81:47. The Eagles and the Pumas battled back and forth through the 20 minutes of overtime with neither team gaining an advantage.

Saint Joseph’s had the lead in shots during the extra periods, 2-1, while USI held an advantage in corner kicks, 3-0.

Eagles’ freshman goalkeeper Emily Hopkins (Greenfield, Indiana) equaled a season-high with 10 saves in the tie. Hopkins, who faced 21 total shots versus Saint Joseph’s, has reached 10 saves in each of her last two matches.

USI hits the road next week, making visits to Lewis University Friday in Romeoville, Illinois, and to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Sunday in Somers, Wisconsin.

Riecken Responds To Mayor’s Transfer of $8 Million Dollars TO Pay Outstanding Bills

7

In Response To Mayor Winnecke’s Request To Borrow $8 Million Dollars

Mayor Winnecke “Saying the city is strong financially and then ‘borrowing’ $8 million dollars from the Rainey Day and Riverboat funds to pay bills is a direct contradiction”.

It would be one thing if it were due to a cash flow issue as stated by the administration.  But you have to question how it can be considered ‘borrowed’.  The mayor can’t pay salaries and bills now, he’ll need all the tax money he gets in November and more to pay expenses till the next tax payment in June, 2016, so how is he going to pay it back?

The city is going to go broke if we don’t change directions. Make no mistake: the Mayor is not going to change direction, he says we don’t have a financial problem.”

Gail Riecken is running for Mayor of Evansville and is a former Evansville City Council-woman, Evansville Parks Director, and a current member of the Indiana State House of Representatives.  She is a lifelong Evansville resident, has been married for 47 years, and has 2 children and 3 grandchildren.

Evansville ran in Greater Louisville Classic on Saturday

 

LOUISVILLE, Ky. – On a cold and crisp fall morning, times fell once again for the University of Evansville Cross Country Teams as they competed at the Greater Louisville Classic at Tom Sawyer Park on Saturday morning.

 

Fresh off of the first win of her career last weekend, freshman Sienna Crews continued to improve, setting her PR at 19:00.78 to lead the Aces and take 8th place out of 209 runners.  Her time bested her race at the Early Bird Invite where she ran a 19:01.1.  Taking 19th place was senior Elizabeth Kingshott.  She ran her best race of the season, rounding the course in 19:28.01.

 

Third on the team once again was Michelle Karp.  An impressive season continued for Karp as she set her PR for the fourth time in five races, running a 19:52.97.  That time was over 35 seconds below her previous record of 20:28, which was set last weekend.  Fourth on the team was Ashton Bosler.  The freshman continued her adjustment to the college sport, setting her low time of 20:23.06.  Bosler has improved in each of her three 5K events this fall.

 

Laurel Wolfe rounded out the top five for the Purple Aces, completing the 5K in a time of 20:57.21.  It was a 1-minute improvement over last weekend’s effort at Austin Peay.  The team finished the race in 8th place out of 17 schools.

 

Ben Woolems was the top finisher for the men, taking 88th out of 306 runners in the event.  His 28:00.12 was his best time of the year by over a minute with his previous low this year being a 29:01.1 in the Bradley Intercollegiate.  Next up was Ross Frondorf.  He also ran his best race of the season, finishing the 8K in 28:10.94.

 

Freshman Jordan Carpenter was third on the team, posting a PR of 29:20.57.  It was a great race, topping his previous best time of the season, which was a 30:59.5 at the Commodore Classic.  Andrew Barrett was fourth for UE with a PR of his own – 29:24.65.  Paul Schwartz rounded out the top five for the men, crossing the line in 29:49.03.  The men were 27th out of 34 squads.

 

Next weekend, the Aces have their first off week before running the UE Invitational at Angel Mounds on Saturday, Oct. 17.

UE Men’s Soccer Drops a 1-0 Road Match at Loyola

0

Freshman goalkeeper Greg Niven snared a career-high seven saves

CHICAGO - The University of Evansville men’s soccer team (2-7, 0-2 MVC) was defeated 1-0 at Loyola University Chicago (5-3-2, 1-1 MVC) on Saturday night. The only score was a 15th minute Ramblers goal.

“Road games in the Valley are tough and there is probably no tougher place to play than Loyola,” said Evansville head men’s soccer coach Marshall Ray. “Tonight, we were unable to capitalize on our chances and gave up a goal on a set piece in the first half. Our guys battled, fought, and worked until the end. Unfortunately we couldn’t come up with the equalizer.”

Loyola leapt ahead with a goal from senior defender Jacob Thoreson just 15 minutes into the contest.

Despite four first half shots, UE was unable to even up the score in the opening stanza.

The Aces had a few opportunities in the second half but a 71st minute shot from senior forward Nate Opperman was saved and a 90th minute attempt from sophomore midfielder/defender Ian McGrath was blocked at the top of the 18 yard box.

Freshman forward Zac Blaydes, sophomore forward Desmond Dolphy and McGrath tallied two shots each for Evansville. Entering the match with six collegiate saves, freshman goalkeeper Greg Niven secured a career-high seven saves in the match.

This is the first loss for the UE against Loyola (the Aces were previously 16-0 versus the Ramblers).

“Credit to Loyola, just like the other teams in the conference, they are going to be competing for a championship once we get into November,” added Ray. “We are going to have to pick ourselves up, get prepared for Kentucky and then see everybody at Arad McCutchan Stadium on Saturday when we take on Bradley in another very important conference match.”

Evansville is at UK on Wednesday, October 7 before returning home on Oct. 10 to host Bradley. That home contest will begin at 2:00 p.m.
