Aces women’s basketball gets preseason test against Oakland City

The Purple Aces will have a non-division game on Thursday evening
 
EVANSVILLE, Ind. — The University of Evansville women’s basketball will have its lone exhibition game against the Oakland City Mighty Oaks.
The Purple Aces women’s basketball team will host Oakland City on Thursday night in their first action before the 2023-24 season. It will be a new look team for UE in the 2023-24 women’s basketball season. With 10 new players on the roster for the upcoming season, the Aces have recruited talent with championship experience at all levels. Among UE’s 10 new players, three come from winning junior college programs, three from winning high school programs, and one with national team experience. Evansville will look to improve on their best season record in six years with their 2023-24 roster.

Along with several new players to the team, the Aces welcome back four returners in sophomore Kynidi Mason Striverson, graduate student Barbora Tomancova, redshirt senior Celine Dupont, and junior Lexie Sinclair. Tomancova and Mason Striverson return as the team’s points leaders after being in the 2022-23 Top 5 in scoring. A consistent starter, Tomancova brings experience in big situations to the young team, while Mason Striverson and Dupont were key bench players looking to make the move to the starting five.

Going into her third year leading the Aces, Head Coach Robyn Scherr-Wells has seen consistent improvement from her team and will continue that growth with a retooled staff, promoting two and bringing in three new faces to the bench. Assistant Coach Tori Jarosz was raised to the Aces recruiting coordinator while Caleb Poston was elevated from the Aces Director of Basketball Operations to an Assistant Coach. Former UIC assistant Dodie Dunson was named UE’s Associate Head Women’s Basketball Coach in May while Van Klohmann was brought on as a new Assistant Coach and Director of Basketball Operations from Division II Missouri S&T. Rounding out Scherr-Wells coaching staff for the season is graduate assistant Dominique McBryde, returning to the states after three years playing abroad.

Oakland City is a Division III school 40 minutes down Indiana 57 from Evansville. The Aces have played the Mighty Oaks 24 times in the team’s series since UE began sponsoring women’s basketball in 1971. In that time span, Evansville has won 19 games with their last loss coming in 1981. The Aces only recently resumed games with Oakland City in the mid 2010s including their last meeting in the winter of 2021.

Hoosier Duo Receives Big Ten Weekly Awards 

0

BLOOMINGTON – Indiana swimming and diving senior Jassen Yep was named the Big Ten Swimmer of the Week, and Ahmed Hafnaoui was picked the Big Ten Freshman of the Week via announcement from the conference office on Wednesday (Nov. 1).

Yep and Hafnaoui each swept their disciplines in IU’s dominant wins over No. 10 Auburn and No. 20 Missouri last Wednesday, as the men’s and women’s teams have each started the season 3-0 in dual meet action.

Yep won the breaststroke events, posting times well under the NCAA B cut standards. Yep’s 1:54.71 in the 200-yard breaststroke ranks No. 4 in the country this season and No. 1 in the Big Ten. In the 100 breast, he dropped the sixth-best time nationally in 52.78, just .78 seconds off his personal-best time set at the 2023 NCAA Championships where he placed 21st nationally last season. Additionally, his 24.22 split in the 200-yard medley relay was the fastest of any competitor.

Hafnaoui also posted a pair of the nation’s top time in his first short-course yards meet as a Hoosier. Sweeping the distance events, his 8:55.74 in the 1,000-yard freestyle ranks No. 3 in the country, and his 4:18.62 500 free sits No. 6.

Yep, Hafanoui and the Hoosiers return to action in its midseason meet, the Ohio State Invitational, November 16-18 in Columbus, Ohio.
