USI picks up second consecutive result with tie against NIU

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer closed a season-long homestand at Strassweg Field on Sunday afternoon with a 1-1 tie against Northern Illinois University.

Replicating the final score from last year’s meeting between the two schools, Sunday’s draw moved USI to 1-5-2 on the season and Northern Illinois to 2-2-2. The 1-1 tie was USI’s second consecutive result after Thursday’s win against Austin Peay State University. The Screaming Eagles went 1-1-1 during the three-match home set.
 
Sunday’s first stanza was highlighted by strong defensive play from both teams. Even though USI and NIU each had good build-up play into the attacking third, neither side could find a breakthrough. In the middle of the first half, Northern Illinois ran into Southern Indiana’s defensive box, but USI sophomore keeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) charged off her goal line and blocked a shot away from the goal.
 
The Screaming Eagles had two shots off free kicks in the opening 45 minutes and a third attempt by senior defender Alexis Schone (Galena, Ohio) that threatened the goal but was punched away by NIU’s goalkeeper. The match was scoreless at halftime with each team recording three shots in the first half.
 
The second half began with the same back-and-forth stalemate. Then in the 62nd minute, USI went on the attack. Freshman midfielder Lydia Bordfeld (Evansville, Indiana) found a ball at her feet that she blasted into the crossbar, but the ricochet went right to senior midfielder Avery Schone (Galena, Ohio). Schone buried the putback into the net for her first goal of the season off the assist from Bordfeld, giving USI a 1-0 advantage. Northern Illinois tied the match in the 86th minute on a successful penalty kick by graduate forward Sahara Zingano. Then in the final seconds of the match, the Huskies made one last effort to score the go-ahead goal, but Markland made a big, diving save to her near post to block a shot away and keep the 1-1 draw intact.
 
Statistically, the Screaming Eagles tallied seven shots with four on goal, while the Huskies totaled six shots with five on target. A physical, defensive contest led to 27 combined fouls. Avery Schone paced USI with three shots, placing two on frame including her 62nd-minute goal. Markland finished with four key saves for Southern Indiana.
 
Southern Indiana heads back on the road Thursday for a 7 p.m. kickoff against the University of Kansas City. Thursday’s match can be seen on the Summit League Network.

Broce places Top-10 as Blazers host VU Fall Invitational Tournament

0

MONTGOMERY, Ind. – The Vincennes University golf team is beginning to pick up steam for the 2023 Fall season as the Trailblazers host the 2023 VU Fall Invitational at Country Oaks Golf Club in Montgomery Saturday, Sept. 9 and Sunday, Sept. 10.

Sophomore Preston Broce (Indianapolis, Ind.) headlined the Trailblazers during the tournament, placing eighth overall after two rounds of one-over par 73, giving him a tournament score of 146.

Freshman Alex Nealis (Olney, Ill.) was the next VU scorer, shooting a first round 75 on Saturday and a 77 on Sunday to place 19th overall.

Sophomore Aaron Brink (Nashville, Ill.) was the Trailblazers top scorer Saturday, finishing the first round with an even par 72, before shooting an 81 on Sunday to place 22nd.

Freshmen Trejan Morrison (Ferdinand, Ind.) and Matt Slover (Salem, Ind.) rounded out the VU scorers, with Morrison shooting two rounds of 82 to finish 40th overall and Slover shot an 82 on Saturday and a 99 on Sunday for 51st overall.

Freshman Jackson Stone (Vincennes, Ind.) played the tournament as an individual and shot a first round 91 on Saturday before shooting an 89 on Sunday to place 50th overall.

The Trailblazers as a team shot a 302 on Saturday and a 313 on Sunday for a tournament score of 615 and a sixth place finish for the weekend.

“I thought we played reasonably well Saturday but the scores were amazingly good for all of the top schools,” VU Hall of Fame Golf Coach Dennis Chattin said. “Aaron had a best round at even par 72 Saturday but followed it up with a very weak round Sunday.”

“Preston had a very steady and good 73-73 and doing it with a couple of bad breaks,” Chattin added. “He lost a ball in a fairway Saturday, only to be found seconds after he dropped another ball costing him a shot penalty. Then today he had a ball hit a cart path, shooting it out of bounds. So he really hit the ball well enough to have been under par for the tournament, but it’s like I told him, ‘we don’t play on a basketball court. We play on an imperfect surface and that’s why they call it ‘the rub of the green’’.”

“I was disappointed in today’s round, even though the greens were wet from the dew this morning, we should have putted better,” Chattin said. “The pins were tough but everyone plays the same ones. Alex Nealis will be a solid contributor for us this year I believe. Right now, we are just looking for a good fourth score. We are young, so I expect us to improve.”

Vincennes will be back at it in just over two week when the Blazers travel to Danville, Ill. to take part in the Danville Invitational hosted at Danville Country Club Monday, Sept. 25.

UE men’s soccer takes the Mayor’s Cup in 4-0 win over Southern Indiana

0
The Purple Aces pick up their first road win of the season
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – It was an offensive explosion on Saturday night for the University of Evansville men’s soccer in their first Mayor’s Cup win of the series.

In an emotional night for senior forward Kai Phillip, he led the Purple Aces offense with two goals and four shots in their 4-0 route of the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles. Midfielders Ola Arntsen and Carlos Barcia added goals to the score sheet while defender Tobias Bak had his second assist of the year. Freshman midfielder David Hernandez had his first collegiate point in an assist on Phillip’s final goal of the evening.

“It’s always nice to beat a crosstown rival,” said Head Coach Robbe Tarver following the win. “Especially on the back of a tough week to get the momentum back and get us back in the win column was huge. It’s only 15 minutes down the road, but its still a road win, which we talk a lot about being good on the road. I thought we were better in the bigger moments of the game when we needed to score and when we needed to defend our box. We did that well obviously scoring four goals and having a shutout But at the same time I think the scoreline is not really indicative of the game. I think it was a little bit closer than that and they had a couple of good chances that we were able to stop. And we were able to capitalize on a couple of mistakes.”

It was a close battle early on in the first half as the two teams found their footing in front of a record-setting crowd at Strassweg Field. The tide turned in UE’s favor in the 29th minute as Phillip found the net for the first time on a lone break down the left side of the field. The senior buried the ball in the bottom center of the goal, sparking an offensive surge for Evansville. In the first half, the Aces launched seven shots and added a second goal in the 34th minute from Arntsen off a corner kick rebound.

The offensive rush continued in the second half with nine additional shots and two more goals. Barcia scored his first goal of the season in the 52nd minute off a cross from Bak on the right side. The graduate midfielder positioned himself in the center of the penalty arc, putting the ball right in the bottom left corner. The Aces final goal of the game was Phillip’s second in the 61st minute on a corner kick from Hernandez. Phillip got his head on the corner feed, sealing the win for UE.

Evansville returns home to Arad McCutchan Stadium for a midweek matchup with the Lindenwood Lions. The Aces hope to build their first win streak of 2023 in the second meeting between the two programs. Kick-off for the match on Wednesday, Sept. 13 is set for 7 p.m.
