Indiana Divers Add Seven Event Bids on Day Two of Zones

MARCH 16, 2024

 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana added a sixth diver to its men’s and women’s rosters for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships Friday (March 15) at the NCAA Zone C Diving Championships inside the Ralph Wright Natatorium on the campus of Louisville University.

Freshman Lily Witte was one of three Hoosier women to earn an NCAA qualifying bid on the 3-meter springboard to clinch her first trip to the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships next week, placing 10th with a 607.95 score – within the top-11 cut. With Friday’s result, Witte also earned her 1-meter bid after finishing within the top 12 on Thursday.

“I am so happy for Lily!” IU head diving coach Drew Johansen said. “She was in a battle all day and delivered on her last dive to punch her ticket.”

Senior Anne Fowler was the women’s top qualifier for the second-straight day, scoring 691.20 points, and junior Skyler Liu placed fifth with 644.85. Both have qualified for the national meet on each springboard.

Freshman Ella Roselli just missed the top-11 cut, placing 12th. However, Roselli is still eligible to qualify in all three events, having finished top 12 on each board. The Zone C cutline for Saturday’s platform competition will advance the top 11. Junior Morgan Casey finished 15th with a 536.25.

Like Fowler, junior Carson Tyler repeated as the men’s top qualifier with a score of 756.35. Fellow junior Quinn Henninger was fifth with a 710.50. Maxwell Weinrich placed ninth with a 640.35, missing the top-seven cut but qualifying in his second event as a top-12 finisher. All three Hoosier men have qualified on both springboards.

“The three boys were solid and added another event to their championships program,” Johansen said. “We are looking forward to the platform event tomorrow.”

Aces open series with 8-0 win over Beacons

Game two is set for Saturday at 2 p.m.

MARCH 16. 2024 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Sydney Weatherford tossed a 3-hit shutout while the offense came alive with eight runs as the University of Evansville softball team defeated Valparaiso by a final of 8-0 on Friday at Tri-State Orthopaedics Field and James and Dorothy Cooper Stadium.

Weatherford threw the full 5-inning contest while striking out three batters.  UE accumulated its eight runs on 10 hits.  Jess Willsey, Zoe Frossard and Jenna Nink posted two hits apiece while Nink led the way with three runs batted in.

Sydney Weatherford pitched out of a jam in the first as the Beacons notched a pair of 2-out hits.  Evansville took advantage in the second when Jenna Nink laced a 2-run double to center to put the Purple Aces on the board.  Alexa Davis led the inning off with a walk before moving to second on a sac bunt by Zoe Frossard.  With two outs, Marah Wood was walked and made a heads-up play to steal second on the play.  Those walks set the table for Nink, who came through with the clutch 2-out, 2-RBI hit.

Davis opened the third inning with a solo home run, her first of the season.  Frossard followed up with a single and Nink would bring her home with an RBI single.  Jess Willsey added the fourth UE hit of the inning and Brooke Voss walked to load the bases for Taylor Howe.  She added to the lead, forcing a walk for the 5th Evansville run.

Marah Wood’s team-leading fifth homer of the year saw the Aces extend the lead to 7-0 in the fourth.  Base hits from Willsey and Brooke Voss set the table for Howe to walk it off and that is exactly what she did.  Her single brought in Willsey for the walk-off run as UE took the 8-0 triumph in five innings.

Saturday’s game is set for a 2 p.m. first pitch.
