The University of Southern Indiana will host its 2024 Homecoming Week, featuring a variety of events for USI students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and families to enjoy Saturday, February 3 through Saturday, February 10. Â
Homecoming (Archie’s Version): The Eras of USI is based off Taylor Swift’s popular worldwide Eras Tour. Featured events throughout the week include a mindfulness event titled, “You Need to Calm Down: Archie’s Version of Self-Care,†a Screagle Day of Service, open to the USI community and public, an Eagle Egg hunt and several chances to create USI-themed friendship bracelets.Â
On Saturday, February 10, USI will host a Homecoming Tailgate and Pep Rally in the Screaming Eagles Complex ahead of the USI Women’s and Men’s Basketball matchups (happening at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., respectively) against Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. A Coronation Ceremony recognizing 12 USI students selected for the 2024 Homecoming Court will take place during halftime of the USI Men’s Basketball game. Two Homecoming Majesties will be crowned at the Ceremony.Â
During both basketball games, Alumni Engagement and Volunteer USI will have three photo booth opportunities for fans to enjoy throughout the Arena, as well as face painting and caricature portraits. A table will be set up at the entrance of the Arena for guests to claim a free popcorn voucher and spirit gear.Â
“The core of a Homecoming celebration is pride—being proud of your alma mater and being proud of being a Screaming Eagle at USI,†says Allison Weihe, Assistant Director of Student Activities and Traditions. “With the recent transition to Division I Athletics, we, as members of the USI community, now have an opportunity to share that pride on a bigger stage and show others just how special and unique this University is. I am looking forward to seeing that pride manifest as excitement and energy at our events and in support of our athletes at the Homecoming games. Go Screagles!â€Â

THUNDERBOLTS EDGED 3-2 IN PEORIA
Â
Peoria, Ill.:  In a very close back-and-forth game from start to finish, penalties cost the Thunderbolts and put the game just out of reach, 3-2 Rivermen the final score on Sunday afternoon in Peoria.  The Thunderbolts’ next home game will be on Friday, January 26th against the Birmingham Bulls, puck drop at 7:00pm CT.
Matthew Hobbs opened the scoring in the first period for Evansville, on a rebound chance at 14:54 from Aiden Wagner and Brendan Harrogate. A pair of penalties in the second period resulted in a pair of Rivermen power play goals in the second period, both by Jordan Ernst at 12:59 and 19:38 to give the Rivermen a 2-1 lead going into the third period. At even strength, Evansville was at it’s best, and tied the game up in the third period as Lincoln Hatten scored from Dmitri Yushkevich and Hobbs at 6:11 to make it a 2-2 game. Penalties would haunt Evansville once again however, as Dawson Baker put the Rivermen back in front by a 3-2 score at 11:31. Despite pulling Cole Ceci late, the Thunderbolts could not get the equalizing goal, falling in regulation time 3-2.
Hobbs finished with a goal and assist, and Hatten also scored one goal. In goal, Ceci finished with 32 saves on 35 shots faced. The Thunderbolts and Rivermen meet again on Friday, February 23rd at Peoria Civic Center.
