Aces Claim MVC Opener Over UIC

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team won their first MVC opener since 2021 on Saturday, taking down UIC by a score of 2-1 at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

Evansville scored twice in the matter of three and a half minutes, with Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont)scoring her first goal of the season in the 26th minute, and Ella McAndrew (Greendale, Ind./ Lawrenceburg) scoring her first career goal in the 30th minute.

UIC threatened early in the match, putting up five shots in the first 17 minutes of action. However, UE goalkeeper Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) continued her strong play in goal, making two saves to keep the Flames off the board.
Evansville started the scoring in the 26th minute, with Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) sending a long ball downfield for Robinson. The junior took one touch 10 yards from the box and got a shot off right before a charging UIC keeper could get to it, finding the back of the net to put the Aces ahead.

The Aces would add to their lead shortly after when Isa Valdez made a long run with the ball before sending a through ball into the top of the box for Josie Seehafer (Inver Grove Heights, Minn./Eagan), who found McAndrew at the post to tap in the goal.

The score remained 2-0 into the halftime break and stayed that way for the first 26 minutes of the second half. However, UIC was able to cut into the lead in the 72nd minute, as Addison Carriere got the Flames on the scoreboard. The goal was the first allowed by Lammers this season, ending her scoreless streak at 387 minutes.

Following the goal, Evansville’s defense held strong for the rest of the contest to help the Aces secure the 2-1 win.

“I thought we got back to what we were doing earlier in the season,” said Head Coach Chris Pfau. “It was a good 90 minutes, I thought we fell a little bit flat in second half, but I think we were good enough to control it. For the most part, I thought it was a good game. UIC is an extremely well-coached team, a very good team, and for the most part, I’m very happy.”

“[Wining the first conference game] gives you confidence, especially when you can score goals. Hopefully it gives us confidence that we can play, getting a win against a very good UIC team. Hopefully we can build off that and continue the momentum.”
Evansville out-shot UIC 11-10 overall, including a 4-3 edge in shots on goal, with Taylor Wehrer (Las Vegas, Nev./Desert Oasis) tallying a game-high five shots. Lammers recorded two saves to improve to 4-0-1 on the season.

With the win, Evansville improves their record to 5-2-1, marking the quickest UE has reached five wins since 2013. The Aces are back in action on Thursday, traveling to Carbondale, Ill. for a showdown with Southern Illinois. Kick-off is set for 6 PM.

USI Women’s Soccer grabs point at UT Martin, extends unbeaten streak

0

MARTIN, Tenn. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer kicked off Ohio Valley Conference play on the road Saturday night, securing a point and extending its unbeaten streak to five matches with a 0-0 draw against the University of Tennessee at Martin.
 
USI (3-5-2, 0-0-1 OVC) notched a tie to begin OVC play for the third consecutive season on Saturday. For UT Martin (0-4-6, 0-0-1 OVC), the Skyhawks picked up their third straight 0-0 result and fifth scoreless draw this season. USI and UT Martin was the only OVC matchup on Saturday night, as the other contests are slated for Sunday.
 
The Screaming Eagles tallied 13 shots with four on goal in Saturday’s game. Five Eagles recorded multiple shot attempts. Redshirt sophomore forward Eva Boer paced USI with three shots and placed one on target. Senior forward Emerson Grafton and sophomore defender Emma Schut each had two shots and one on goal.
 
Defensively, USI’s defense and redshirt junior goalkeeper Anna Markland faced 23 shots and eight on goal by UT Martin’s attack. Markland snagged a season-high seven saves, while the Eagles’ defensive unit blocked seven shots. Markland and USI posted their fourth clean sheet of the season.
 
A back-and-forth battle all night saw the Skyhawks take the first swing with a couple of looks in the first 10 minutes. Then, USI came back the other way with a pair of shots on goal by Grafton and Boer over a three-minute span that UT Martin’s goalkeeper saved. Minutes later, the Skyhawks changed direction and forced Markland to make a pair of saves before the 20-minute mark. The quick counters by both teams continued through the rest of the first half, with neither side willing to budge in the 0-0 deadlock going into halftime.
 
While the on-field tempo resumed to start the second half, it took a few minutes before the alternating shootout resumed. UT Martin grabbed some momentum in the attacking third but could not get one past Markland, who made three more saves in four minutes in the early going of the second half. USI got another shot on goal in the 69th minute from junior forward Grace Bamber that UT Martin’s goalkeeper saved. After that point, the two sides exchanged runs in the attacking thirds, but the defenses delivered stops to keep the match scoreless for the remainder of the contest.
 
The Screaming Eagles will continue OVC action this coming week at Strassweg Field for back-to-back home OVC contests. USI will next take on Morehead State University at 7 p.m. on Thursday from Strassweg Field. Admission to Thursday’s game is free courtesy of ProRehab. The match can also be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.

Embrace Forgiveness by Jerome Stewart

Today we are living in a culture of unforgiveness. When that happens the opportunity for healing will not take place. The power of forgiveness should never be taken for granted. And yes it can be very hard depending on the severity of the offense. 

In the book of Matthew chapter 18, Jesus used a parable to address the unforgiving servant against a fellow brother in Christ. Vs. 21 Jesus says; “Then Peter came to Him and said “Lord how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 

One could easily infer that there was a belief that seven times was a sufficient number as related to forgiveness, but it wasn’t even close. In vs. 22 Jesus responded saying; “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.” That means forgiveness is a continuous action with no set number in place. 

Think about where any of us would be if Jesus had the attitude that forgiving one seven times would be the limit with no additional opportunities for leniency? Think about where mankind would be had Jesus chose to leave the cross of Calvary? None of our sins could be forgiven. 

Those who trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior must understand, the importance of Colossians 3 vs. 13 which says; “Bear with each other and forgive one another even if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” 

There is a high level of anger on display today because of a lack of understanding the power of forgiveness. Lives are being ruined everyday because so many people choose to ignore the word of God which is our roadmap on how to deal with the situational difficulties as related to forgiveness in this present age. Healing takes time and it will never happen unless forgiveness has been granted the offender. 

Jesus showed the world the power of forgiveness, because of the love of the Father, and His love for mankind, with a crown of razor sharp thorns upon His head, with spikes impaled in His hands and feet and having been pierced in His side, and He was innocent of all charges against Him. Healing can never take place without forgiveness. So let us learn to forgive. With Jesus we can do it.

State Comptroller Nieshalla Speaks at National Debt Crisis Forum at the U.S. Capitol

0

STATEHOUSE—Indiana State Comptroller Elise Nieshalla joined with U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA), Sen. Rick Scott (FL), Rep. Josh Brecheen (OK), Gov. Mike Braun (IN) and a panel of experts from the Economic Policy Innovation Center, Club for Growth Foundation and State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF) at the U.S. Capitol to spotlight the need to reign in the national debt.

“Joining our federal leaders, we sounded the alarm on the massive and rapidly growing $37 trillion national debt,” stated Comptroller Nieshalla, Chairwoman of the National Debt Crisis Task Force for SFOF. “I can attest to how state financial officers from across the country understand the gravity of this problem, and we are committed for the long haul to support our President and Congress to tackle deficit spending and the debt – and to restore America’s fiscal solvency.”

Comptroller Nieshalla provided the opening message, followed by remarks from Speaker Johnson, Sen. Scott, Rep. Brecheen, and a video message from Gov. Braun. They addressed the dangers of the rising national debt, the absolute need to get back to balanced budgets and how structural reforms are necessary to ensure long-term sustainability of critical programs so they are viable for the most vulnerable.

Also highlighted was U.S. Senate Resolution 600, which received a unanimous vote in 2024, for declaring that the debt is a national security threat and that deficit spending is “reckless, unsustainable and dangerous.” Gov. Braun authored this resolution while serving as U.S. Senator and recently the Indiana Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution to mirror U.S. SR 600 in an effort to bring further awareness to Hoosiers on the severity of the U.S. debt problem.

Adding to a growing movement from the states calling for federal solvency, the American Legislative Exchange Council approved Indiana’s resolution on the national debt to serve as a model for other states nationwide to adopt.

“We are building monumental support from the states for dealing with the national debt for the sake of preserving our freedom, our dollar as the reserve currency and our global position of leadership,” said Comptroller Nieshalla.

The forum included statistics to highlight the severity of the debt threat:

  • After 205 years of existence, the U.S. accumulated its first trillion dollars of debt, but now the debt increases by $1 trillion every handful of months.
  • The annual interest payment on the debt is greater than each of the annual budgets for the U.S. Military and Medicare.
  • The interest payment has become the fastest growing line item in the federal budget and is on the path to eclipse the size of the largest budget item — Social Security.
  • The debt to GDP ratio is precariously high at over 120% and the debt per capita is $109,000.

“In hearing the determination from our national leaders to deal with this enormous challenge, one thing is clear – they need the support of the states,” said Comptroller Nieshalla. “There is tremendous good, but hard work ahead of them to turn the huge ship of the nation’s finances from going off course and off the fiscal cliff. Support from the states back home is the needed wind under their sails.”

Exciting Times in Lincolnshire: Join Us for the

9th Annual Lincolnshire Front Porch Festival

Sunday October 5,2025 from 2-7pm

Get ready for a lively day in the Lincolnshire neighborhood, nestled between Bosse High School and St. Benedict Cathedral Church in Evansville. Make plans to join us for the 9th annual Lincolnshire Front Porch Festival on Sunday, October 5, 2025, from 2-7 PM.

The event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available at Bosse High School on Washington Avenue and St. Benedict Cathedral on Lincoln Avenue. Yoga from 10-11am at the Triangle. Gather your friends, family, friendly dogs, coolers, and appetites for a fun-filled day in Lincolnshire!

Musicians from throughout the Tri-state bring a wide range of genres, including rock, jazz, country, classical, and more. This year’s lineup includes Monte Skelton, Georgia Funkadelic, Just Us 4 and our headliner, Corduroy Orbison, will perform at the Triangle from 6-7 PM.

In 2017, neighbors envisioned a family-friendly music event in our historic neighborhood. Inspired by the growing popularity of porch festivals and the success of Haynie’s Corner’s Labor Day event, we created a similar experience for our community.

Our goal was a daytime event where people of all ages could stroll through Lincolnshire, enjoy each other’s company, and listen to a variety of music. Nine years later, this vision has become a cherished tradition.

From a humble beginning with a handful of musicians and one food truck, we’ve grown to feature 20+ musicians, 10+ food trucks, and a bar cart for adults in 2025.
