0

EVANSVILLE, IND. (05/13/2024) The University of Evansville (UE) is thrilled to announce the appointment of Amanda L. Krause, Ph.D., as the new dean of the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). Dr. Krause brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to UE’s mission “to empower each student to think critically, act bravely, serve responsibly, and live meaningfully in a changing world.” She will begin her new role in mid-July.

Dr. Krause joins UE from Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Maryland, where she currently serves as Director of International Programs and Associate Professor of Political Science. While there, she oversaw the political science and international studies majors, all Study Abroad programs, and programming for international students.

A proud graduate of the University of Missouri, where she earned her Ph.D. in Political Science with a focus on Comparative Politics, International Relations, and Research Methods, Dr. Krause has distinguished herself as a visionary academic leader. She holds an M.A. in Political Science from Louisiana State University and a B.A. in Journalism from Indiana University. Dr. Krause was the founder and director of the innovative Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) program at Mount St. Mary’s.

“I am excited and honored to lead the William L. Ridgway College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Evansville,” said Dr. Krause. “I look forward to collaborating with UE’s exceptional faculty, staff, and students to forge connections, prioritize student needs, and bring innovative solutions that will enhance the College and the University as a whole. I am eager to work with the entire UE community and continue my commitment to being an engaged citizen, both on and off campus. Together, we will build upon UE’s rich connections and programs to chart an even brighter future.”

Dr. Krause’s impressive record includes over 20 peer-reviewed conference papers, published journal articles, and invited presentations. Her research focuses on comparative political economy, with a specific emphasis on social services and well-being in the Americas. Beyond her academic achievements, Dr. Krause is deeply committed to community service and frequently volunteers with domestic and international non-governmental organizations. She travels extensively to conduct research and assess social programs in the Americas and Europe, and provides consulting services to enhance data collection, assessment, and grant writing processes for nonprofits.

“Dr. Krause’s dedication to collaboration, relationship-building, and alignment with UE’s values and mission make her an exceptional choice to lead the College of Arts and Sciences,” said Mary Kessler, Interim Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost at UE. “Her enthusiasm, vision, and innovative problem-solving abilities will be invaluable assets as we continue to elevate the University’s reputation for academic excellence.”

The Purple Aces finished 9th and 10th in the final standings
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The University of Evansville track and field team capped off the 2024 season with the final day of the MVC Outdoor Championships.
The Purple Aces competed in nine events on Championship Sunday where five athletes set new personal records to end the 2024 season. UE began its day in the field with performances in the women’s and men’s discus throw. Senior Brooke Springer (Henderson, Ky. / Henderson Community HS) set a PR on the women’s side with a throw of 39.72 meters for 13th.
On the men’s side, graduate thrower Jaden Hayes (Huntingburg, Ind. / Southridge HS) and freshman thrower Cole Johnson (Salem, Ill. / Salem Community HS) set PRs in the event. Johnson threw for 43.81 meters in the preliminary throws to place 14th. Hayes and fellow graduate thrower Zach Dove (Princeton, Ind. / Princeton Community HS) made the men’s discus finals, placing fifth and sixth with throws of 48.90 and 48.18 meters respectively.
Evansville began its day on the track with the men’s 4×100 relay race. The relay team of Jude Nguyen (Farmington Hills, Mich. / North Farmington HS), José Ocampo (Monterrey, Nueva Leon, Mexico ), Woody Burrell (Cedarburg, Wis. / Cedarburg HS), and Raymond Felton III (Houston / Clear Brook HS) set a personal best in the event with a time of 43.07 seconds for eighth place. The Aces wouldn’t return to relay events until the end of the afternoon with UE’s runner finals taking the middle of the day.
Freshman runner Nicole Prauchner (Neuhofen an der Ybbs, Austria) ran in two individual events for Evansville, the women’s 1500 and 800-meter races. In the 1500-meter, Prauchner set a PR of 4:27.63 to place sixth in the event. In the 800-meter, the freshman ran a 2:11.38 for fifth place.
The Aces competed in two individual men’s finals on Sunday from freshman Rafael Rodrigez (Segovia, Spain) and Samuel Lea (Worchester, England) in the 800-meter and 5,000-meter races. Rodrigez competed first, setting a PR in the 800-meters with a time of 1:51.13 for fourth place. Lea finished the men’s 5K in 15:28.62 to cap off his season.
UE’s final events of the Championships were the women’s and men’s 4×400 relay races. The all-freshman women’s team of Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind. / Reitz HS), Prauchner, Martin (Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada), and Eilén Brenne (Skein, Norway) won the first heat of the event with a time of 3:51.96 for ninth place. The men’s team of Felton III, Rodriguez, Tommaso Losma (Lombardia, Italy), and Adam Oulgout (St. Paul, Minn. / Center HS) earned Evansville its final point of the day by placing eighth with a time of 3:24.56.

Long ball leads Otters to first win of 2024

0
JOLIET, IL – The Evansville Otters’ offense came to life in the series finale against the Joliet Slammers for the Mother’s Day matinee at Duly Health and Care Field. The Otters (1-3) strung together a baker’s dozen worth of hits, outscoring the Slammers (2-1) 12-5 for their first win of the 2024 season.

Austin Bost scored the first run of the game in the opening frame off a Jomar Reyes base-hit to left field.

Evansville combined for eight more unanswered runs in the next two frames, blowing the game open 9-0.

The explosion was highlighted by a two-run blast by Donivan Williams in the second inning. David Menham brought home another pair later with a two-bagger down the left field line.

In the third, Patrick Lee hit a grand slam to right-center field for his first home run of the year.

Joliet got on the board with three runs in the bottom of the third. However, the deficit was too much to overcome as the bats fell silent for the Slammers until the ninth.

Evansville added offense in the fifth when Williams launched his second home run of the game. The solo bomb made it a 10-3 game.

In the sixth, Jake Green hit an RBI single to left field, scoring David Mendham who led off with a base-hit.

Finalizing the Otters’ scoring was Bryan Rosario in the ninth. After leading off on a four pitch walk, he was brought home by Nick Gonzalez’ sacrifice-fly.

In the final frame, the Slammers scored another pair of runs on a triple. The attempt at a comeback was short-lived, as Leoni De La Cruz shut the door on the next batter.

Tyler Ras (1-0) picked up the win, allowing three runs on five hits with one walk and a strikeout. The right-hander pitched five innings during this Otters debut. James Krick pitched two scoreless innings out of the bullpen and Tyler Driver tossed a shutout eighth.

Five batters had multi-hit performances — Lee led the way with three knocks and four RBIs. Williams scored three times and reached base in all but one at-bat. Three other Otters joined him in a multi-run performance. Lee, Medham and Williams also totaled multi-RBI days in the Otters’ big win.

Evansville will return home for their home-opener on Tuesday, May 14 against the Gateway Grizzlies in a rematch of last year’s West Division Championship Series. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. and tickets are available here.

BASEBALL ACES KNOCK OFF NATIONALLY-RANKED SYCAMORES, 7-6

0
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. –  The visiting University of Evansville baseball team exploded for six runs on three home runs in the second inning on Sunday, and then the Purple Aces held off the nationally-ranked Indiana State Sycamores, 7-6, at Bob Warn Field in Terre Haute, Indiana.
“What a gritty effort in all three facets to salvage a game on the weekend today,” said UE head coach Wes Carroll.  “I thought all three pitchers really battled today and gave us everything they had.  I thought Nick Smith, Shane Harris and Jakob Meyer were outstanding.
“Offensively, I thought that we had a pretty good plan today at the plate.  We are a pretty talented club, and I know that we dropped the last two games, but I thought that our guys really showed what they are made of today in a battle against a very good Indiana State team.”
After Indiana State rallied for two two-out runs in the bottom of the first inning to grab an early 2-0 lead, Evansville exploded for six runs off of Indiana State starter Luke Hayden (6-2) to take a lead it would never lose.  Junior outfielder Ty Rumsey opened UE’s six-run frame with a no-doubt three-run home run to deep right field to give UE a 3-2 lead.
Fellow junior outfielder Harrison Taubert followed two batters later with a solo home run to left field to push the UE lead to 4-2.  Then, senior designated hitter Kip Fougerousse crushed a two-run home run to left-center field to give Evansville a 6-2 cushion.
UE starter Nick Smith and senior reliever Shane Harris (6-6) kept Indiana State off the scoreboard until the sixth inning, when Indiana State got a solo home run from shortstop Randal Diaz to trim UE’s lead to 6-3.  ISU would then add a two-run home run from third baseman Mike Sears in the seventh inning to get back within a run at 6-5.  UE senior reliever Jakob Meyer would work a scoreless eighth inning, though, and Evansville would tack on an insurance run with a two-out rally in the ninth inning to extend the lead to 7-5.
In the ninth inning, graduate outfielder Mark Shallenberger laid down a two-out bunt against an infield shift by Indiana State to begin the rally, and extend his hitting streak to 12 games.  Fougerousse then worked an eight-pitch walk to put two runners on base, before graduate third baseman Brent Widder laced a double over the third base bag and into the left-field corner to score Shallenberger and give UE a 7-5 lead.
The insurance run would be needed, as Indiana State rallied for a run in the bottom of the ninth inning against Meyer.  But, Meyer struck out Indiana State second baseman Josue Urdaneta with the tying run at second base to record a nine-out save for his fourth save of the season.
Fougerousse, Rumsey and Taubert all had two-hit days to pace the Evansville offense on Sunday.  Harris earned the victory by holding Indiana State to a single run on four hits and a walk in 3.2 innings of work with three strikeouts.
With the victory, Evansville improved to 29-22 overall and 15-9 in the Missouri Valley Conference, as the Purple Aces moved into a tie with UIC for second-place in the MVC standings.  Indiana State, meanwhile, dropped to 36-11 overall and 19-5 in the Missouri Valley Conference with the loss.  Evansville will host UIC in a three-game series next weekend beginning on Thursday, with the winner of the series capturing the No. 2 seed in the upcoming MVC Tournament to be held in Evansville from May 21-25.  But, first, Evansville will wrap up non-conference play on Tuesday night, as the Purple Aces will travel south to Clarksville, Tennessee to battle the Austin Peay State Governors.  First-pitch on Tuesday night is set for 6 p.m. in a game that can be seen live on ESPN+.
