0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Track & Field freshmen Cole Hess (Cannelton, Indiana) and Zoe Seward (Rochester, Indiana) were named Ohio Valley Conference Track Freshmen of the Week Wednesday afternoon as announced by the league’s communications department.
 
Hess is the second Screaming Eagle to earn an OVC weekly award and the first to earn the Freshman of the Week title for the men. Seward nabs her first career weekly honor and is the second runner to get an OVC weekly award during the indoor season for the women.
 
Hess is fresh off a record-breaking performance at the ISU Open after winning the 800 meters and smashing the program’s previous indoor record with a time of one minute and 53.17 seconds. With his impressive outing last weekend, Hess now holds the fastest freshman 800-meter time in the OVC and the third-fastest time by any conference member this season.
 
Seward earned her third top-10 finish at the ISU Open last weekend with a fifth-place finish in the mile with a time of 5:15.40. Seward holds the fastest freshman time for USI this season in the mile, 3,000 meters, and 5,000 meters.
 
Hess, Seward, and the Eagles will suit up for the Ohio Valley Conference Championships on Wednesday and Thursday at the Birmingham Crossplex in Birmingham, Alabama.

UE Theatre Alumni head to Broadway this Spring with New Play STEREOPHONIC

0

EVANSVILLE, IND. (02/21/2024) After a hugely successful Off-Broadway run at Playwrights Horizons, STEREOPHONIC, by David Adjmi, is headed to Broadway in April with three University of Evansville alumni attached to the production. Two 2003 UE classmates are involved in producing this Broadway premiere, Nick Mills is a lead producer along with UE Assistant Professor Wes Grantom. In addition, recent graduate Miriam Cortes ’21 will make her Broadway debut with the production as the Assistant Costume Manager.

Loosely based on Fleetwood Mac and their seminal album “Rumours,” STEREOPHONIC mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup-or their breakthrough. Written by David Adjmi, directed by Daniel Aukin, and featuring original music by Arcade Fire’s Will Butler, STEREOPHONIC invites the audience to immerse themselves-with fly on-the-wall intimacy-in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

The Broadway production of STEREOPHONIC begins previews at the Golden Theater, in New York City, on April 3 and will open on April 19.

The University of Evansville is a private, comprehensive university located in the southwestern region of Indiana. Established in 1854, UE is recognized across the globe for its rich tradition of innovative, academic excellence and vibrant campus community of changemakers.

 

Aces women’s basketball heads to Indiana State for midweek matchup

The Purple Aces are looking for their third win in MVC play on Thursday
 
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — After a split last week with Southern Illinois and Missouri State, the University of Evansville women’s basketball team is looking to get back to conference wins on Thursday night

After back-to-back conference wins for the first time since 2017, UE wasn’t able to make it three games straight on Saturday in a 72-56 loss to Missouri State. The Aces hung with the Lady Bears within a possession through three quarters but ran out of gas in the 4th quarter.

Indiana State comes into Thursday’s game, after a loss to Southern Illinois on Saturday afternoon. The Sycamores have four Valley wins on the year, including their prior meeting Evansville to start conference play. Indiana State has excelled this season in three-point defense, as Valley teams have connected on just 25.7 percent of their 3-point attempts against ISU. The Sycamores are the only team in the MVC with a 3-point defense better than 28 percent in conference play.

Freshman forward Maggie Hartwig added her fifth double-double of the season in 35 minutes against Southern Illinois. Hartwig led UE in scoring with 22 points and led on the defensive side of the ball, grabbing 12 boards. Hartwig also extended her double-digit scoring streak to five games against Missouri State with 11 points. For her performance last week, she was named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week for the third time this season. It was her first honor during conference play after two during the non-conference portion of the season.

Two players set career-scoring highs against the Salukis on Thursday evening. Junior guard Lexie Sinclair had her best offensive game with 20 points and six assists for two new records. Freshman guard Tené Smith scored 16 points, going a perfect 5-5 from the floor to set a new career high. The Aces are also now perfect in overtime games on the season following Thursday’s victory. UE pulled off a win at Chicago State in three overtime periods along with the 93-89 win over SIU.
