Humbled to be named among Forbes 30 Under 30 for 2024. This recognition belongs far more to the incredible anu™ (previously gropod) team and unwavering supporters. Our collective vision of building a resilient future, especially in ensuring adequate nutrition amid dwindling resources, is what drives us every day. Grateful to the mentorship at Purdue University, which revolutionized my perception of a college student’s potential—not just in what we can achieve externally, but how we can transform our outlook and ourselves. Co-founding the company with Ivan Ball has been a remarkable journey, yet I believe our greatest impacts on food sovereignty, nutrition, and safety lie ahead. Here’s to the journey that continues to inspire and challenge us towards making a meaningful difference in the world.

USI Women’s Basketball’s championship-winning season ends in WNIT bout against Wisconsin

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball had its 2023-24 championship-winning season come to an end Monday night in the second round of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) at Screaming Eagles Arena, as the University of Wisconsin came from behind to defeat the Screaming Eagles, 67-62.
 
The bout on the court generated a lot of excitement and energy throughout the evening as 3,283 fans packed Screaming Eagles Arena to watch Southern Indiana (25-7, 17-1 OVC) host the first-ever Big Ten Conference team to visit USI with Wisconsin (14-16, 6-12 Big Ten) in town. The 3,283 fans also set a new Screaming Eagles Arena record for a women’s basketball game.
 
Southern Indiana made a strong start out of the gate, as senior forward Meredith Raley (Haubstadt, Indiana) canned a straightaway three in USI’s first possession. Under the seven-minute mark of the first quarter, Raley made another bucket to put the Screaming Eagles ahead 10-4. Late in the first quarter, USI extended its lead to double figures and led 24-12 after the first 10 minutes of action. Raley and senior forward Madi Webb (Bedford, Indiana) combined for 14 points in the first.
 
Early in the second quarter, sophomore guard Ali Saunders (Depauw, Indiana) lit it up from beyond the arc, connecting on two three-pointers to give Southern Indiana a 30-12 advantage nearly two minutes into the second stanza. After Wisconsin tried to chip away, USI had the response to keep the Badgers at bay. With a minute remaining until halftime, Saunders chucked up a long-range bomb with the shot clock winding down and stuck it through the bottom of the net. Before the second-quarter buzzer, freshman forward Chloe Gannon (Manchester, Tennessee) made a second-chance layup, leading USI into the intermission with a 44-25 lead.
 
The second half began with a sluggish start on the offensive end with much credit to both defenses. Wisconsin held USI without points for the first five minutes of the third period, allowing the Badgers to climb back to within 13, 44-31. Southern Indiana broke the field-goal drought with three minutes left in the third, as Saunders buried two three-pointers within 30 seconds to expand USI’s lead to 52-33. Wisconsin continued to fight back, pulling to within 13 once again, 55-42, by the end of the quarter.
 
Wisconsin continued its charge into the fourth quarter, relying heavily on sophomore forward Serah Williams to narrow Southern Indiana’s lead down to single digits. While a layup by Gannon put USI back up by nine just over three minutes into the fourth, the offensive struggles lingered for USI. The Badgers tied the game at 57 after two threes and a pair of free throws before taking the lead for the first time at the 4:25 mark. Williams put the Badgers on her shoulders on both ends of the court down the stretch, helping to not relinquish the lead back to Southern Indiana.
 
For the game, the Screaming Eagles shot just under 34 percent (19-56) overall and 9-17 for over 52 percent from beyond the arc. USI went 15-20 for 75 percent at the foul line. Saunders led Southern Indiana with 18 points with all five of her makes from the field coming from three-point range at a 5-5 mark. Raley recorded 13 points and Gannon tallied 11 points to round out the USI players that scored double digits.
 
Wisconsin ended the game at over 40 percent (20-49) shooting after an inefficient start to the contest. The Badgers knocked five threes and went 22-27 for over 81 percent at the charity stripe. Wisconsin won the battle on the glass, 35-34, and scored 26 transition points. Williams posted her 17th consecutive double-double with a game-high 24 points and 11 boards. Two other Badgers scored 10-plus in the game.
 
The 2023-24 campaign came to a close following another round of firsts for the USI Women’s Basketball program. The second year in the Ohio Valley Conference and at the Division I level saw USI capture the first-ever D-I team conference championships for USI Athletics with the 2023-24 OVC regular season and 2024 OVC Championship Tournament titles, which also placed USI among rare companies in reclassifying teams to win a conference title. The strong run culminated with USI’s first D-I national postseason tournament appearance and first-round win in the WNIT.
 
Southern Indiana had its best winning streaks and the most wins in seven years. The Screaming Eagles had their best conference record since near the turn of the century and were only the fifth OVC team to win at least 17 conference games. Southern Indiana also surpassed 750 victories in program history. Plus, just within the last couple of weeks, USI received its first-ever ranking in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll at No. 22.
 
Now the program will turn its attention to preparing and defending its championship titles in 2024-25.

Season ends in second round of Ro CBI

Aces fall to Seattle by a 71-57 final

 

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Kenny Strawbridge Jr. scored a team-high 11 points but it was a 22-point game from Alex Schumacher that paced Seattle to a 71-57 win over the University of Evansville men’s basketball team in the second round of the Ro CBI at the Ocean Center.

It was a banner season for the Purple Aces who made their first postseason appearance since 2015.  UE completed the season with 17 wins, its highest tally since 2017-18.  In its Arch Madness opener, the Aces grabbed their first win in St. Louis since 2017 as they took down Illinois State.  In November, Evansville won its first six games of the season, the best start since the 1964-65 NCAA National Championship squad.

Those are just a few of the accomplishments for head coach David Ragland and his program as they complete the 2023-24 season.

Chuck Bailey III and Cam Haffner each recorded eight points while Tanner Cuff added six points and a team-high 5 boards.

Seattle took the early 2-0 lead as Evansville fought back to tie the score each time.  With the Redhawks holding an 8-6 lead, Tanner Cuff knocked down a triple to give the Purple Aces their first lead at 9-8 at the 15:26 mark.

After Seattle tied it up at 9-9, Sekou Kalle converted back-to-back buckets to make it a 13-9 game.  Evansville continued to add to the lead as a layup by Antonio Thomas extended the advantage to 20-12 as the half entered its final eight minutes.  The Redhawks clawed their way back, getting within two with 2:39 left in the period.

Kenny Strawbridge Jr. hit a layup before a turnover led to another Cuff 3-pointer that made it a 31-24 game entering the final minute.  Following a 4-0 run by Seattle, Gage Bobe drilled a triple in the final seconds to send the Aces to the break with a 34-28 lead.  The Aces shot 50% in the opening period.

Through the opening two minutes of the second half, the 6-point lead held strong as two Strawbridge free throws pushed the lead to 36-30.  Over the next four minutes, Seattle scored seven in a row to go back up by one, but at the 13:56 mark, Bobe knocked down another triple to put Evansville back in front.

The Redhawks wrestled away a 43-40 lead as the game moved into the last 12 minutes as Josh Hughes made a nice move at the basket to make it a 1-point game.  Unfortunately, Seattle responded in a big way.  Over the next seven minutes, the Redhawks outscored UE by an 18-2 margin to put things out of reach, going up 61-44 with 4:04 remaining.

Evansville’s relentless attitude showed in the final minutes as they never gave up.  Cam Haffner and Antonio Thomas each connected on triples to cut the deficit to nine points with just under two minutes on the clock, but that was as close as they would get with Seattle clinching the win.

It was a tale of two halves for both teams.  UE shot 50% in the first, but a 31.8% second-half saw them finish the game at 42.3%.  Seattle shot 40.9% in the opening 20 minutes before finishing the second half at 48.3%.  Their final tally finished at 45.1%.

Evansville, In.:  With a spot in the President’s Cup Playoffs in April secured, the Thunderbolts prepare to embark on their final regular season trip to Pensacola, where they will play the Ice Flyers this Friday and Saturday night.

 

Week In Review:

 

Down 1-0 on Friday against Peoria, a pair of goals from Brendan Harrogate and a goal from Adam Pilotte in the second period helped turn the tables as the Thunderbolts defeated the Rivermen 3-1.  Peoria got the upper hand in Saturday’s rematch, scoring four goals in the first period to overpower the Thunderbolts 4-1, with Evansville’s lone goal coming from Matt Dorsey shorthanded in the third period.  Ty Taylor stopped 18 of 19 shots in Friday’s win, before being swapped on Saturday after stopping 6 of 9 shots, with Cole Ceci finishing strong with 22 saves on 23 shots.

USI Softball’s Newman takes home OVC Pitcher of the Week

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Softball junior pitcher Josie Newman (Indianapolis, Indiana) has been named Ohio Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week. The OVC’s weekly accolades are voted upon by the league’s communications directors.
 
The pitcher of the week award is the first this season for Newman and the fourth of her career after earning the accolade three times in 2023. It is the first OVC weekly award this season for USI Softball. Newman also represented USI on the 2024 OVC Preseason Players to Watch List.
 
In earning the honor, Newman went 2-0 in Southern Indiana’s three-game series at Lindenwood University. The right-hander tossed two complete games, posting a 1.31 ERA. Newman struck out 21 batters in 16 innings of work. Plus, the junior walked only one batter toward a 0.63 WHIP.
 
Newman started the weekend on Saturday with a gusty performance in USI’s 3-2, extra-inning win. In a low-scoring affair with neither side wanting to give any ground, Newman pitched all nine innings and struck out 11. In another pitcher’s duel in Sunday’s 2-1 win in the series rubber match, Newman once again was in a rhythm. Newman struck out 10 toward her 10th victory of the season.
 
The weekend outings by Newman helped USI get back to .500 on the season at 12-12 overall and tied for second in the OVC at 6-3. The Screaming Eagles are 6-1 in their last seven games.
 
On the season, Newman is 10-5 with a sub-2.00 ERA and 118 strikeouts in 105 innings pitched. Additionally, out of 16 starts, Newman has gone the distance 15 times with three shutouts. The junior pitcher has held opposing hitters to a .194 batting average.
 
Newman and the Screaming Eagles are back home at USI Softball Field Friday and Saturday for three games against Southeast Missouri State University in Ohio Valley Conference play. Friday is a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m., while Saturday’s series finale is at Noon. All three games can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+ and heard on The Spin 95.7 FM.

UE BASEBALL CONTINUES HOMESTAND TUESDAY AGAINST SIUE

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team will continue a season-long eight-game homestand on Tuesday night, as the Purple Aces will welcome the SIUE Cougars to German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium for a non-conference contest.  First-pitch is set for 6 p.m.

Evansville will bring a 9-13 overall record into Tuesday night’s game.  The Purple Aces are trying to snap a season-long five-game losing streak, as UE has dropped three one-run decisions in the last five contests.  UE is led offensively by graduate outfielder Mark Shallenberger, who will bring a team-best .398 batting average into Tuesday’s contest.  Shallenberger currently ranks third in NCAA Division I baseball with 15 hit-by-pitches this season, as he is just one HBP shy of the national lead.  Career-wise, Shallenberger ranks fifth among active Division I players with 47 career HBPs, and he is just four shy of UE’s career mark of 51, set by Troy Beilsmith in 2021.  He currently ranks 11th among Division I players in on-base percentage this year at .561.

SIUE will bring a 7-17 overall record into Tuesday’s game after winning two out of three games against Lindenwood to open Ohio Valley Conference play over the weekend.  Junior outfielder Lucas Spencer currently paces the SIUE offense with a .398 batting average.  Spencer has collected eight doubles, two triples, and a home run offensively for SIUE, and he has been red-hot as of late, as he will ride a nine-game hitting streak into Tuesday’s contest.

Evansville out-lasted SIUE, 11-7, last March in Edwardsville, Illinois to win the only season meeting a year ago.  UE launched four home runs in the contest, led by current graduate catcher Brendan Hord, who went 4-for-6 with two home runs and four RBI.  All-time, UE leads the series 18-8.
