Aces offense explodes in win over Cal State Fullerton

Interim Head Coach Robbe Tarver earns first career win on Sunday

EVANSVILLE, Ind. — UE men’s soccer put on a thrilling comeback performance Sunday afternoon in the team’s 3-1 win over the Cal State Fullerton Titans.

Freshman midfielder Jacopo Federizzi tallied his first collegiate goal to tie up Sunday’s game in the 38th minute, and it was all Purple Aces for the next 52. Along with his first tally, Federizzi assisted on Evansville’s second goal from junior midfielder Jose Vivas midway through the second half. The two midfielders led the team on offense with four shots each, combining for three shots on goal. Sealing the win for the Aces was forward Nacho Diaz Barragan, as he launched a header in the 77th minute on a cross from sophomore defender Nalu Wagner. Cal State Fullerton applied more pressure at the end of the match but starting senior goalkeeper Aidan Montoure made two of his five saves in the final 10 minutes.

“I think we definitely feel better than we did after Thursday,” Interim Head Coach Robbe Tarver said with a laugh following Sunday’s 3-1 victory. “Again, we went down 1-0 and had to respond. I think we showed our fight and our passion, and I think who we are as a team. The things that we speak about constantly, I think our guys showed that today. And that ability to respond, we talk a lot about event plus response equals outcome, and we responded super well today and got the outcome that we deserved.”

For the second game in a row, the Aces found themselves down early as the Titans scored in the 24th minute. It only took Evansville 14 minutes to respond with their first goal of the afternoon after being awarded a corner kick in the 37th minute. The initial kick landed wide left of the net, where Wagner chased it down for a cross that put the ball near the net. On the cross, freshman midfielder Baraka Tarleton headed the ball back to an open Federizzi, who buried it into the left corner of the net.

UE carried the momentum from its equalizer into the start of the second half, putting up a trio of shots in under ten seconds early in the 48th minute. After a tense few minutes in the Aces’ own end that resulted in a yellow card and two saves from Montoure, Evansville got the ball out into the offensive end. In the 65th minute, Fedrizzi was coming in hot on the right side and went for a shot that was redirected to the net by Vivas for UE’s first lead of the 2023 season. The Aces gave themselves a comfortable two-goal lead 12 minutes later as Wagner and Diaz Barragan connected for a header goal in the left corner.

Evansville hits the road for the first time this season in its next match. The Aces will make their way to High Point, N.C. for a game against the Panthers on Friday, Sept. 1. Kick-off for UE’s first road game is set for 6 p.m. from Vert Stadium.

Miscues cost USI versus Mercer

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Men’s Soccer could not overcome a pair of defensive miscues in falling Mercer University, 2-0, Sunday morning in the home opener at Strassweg Field. The Screaming Eagles start the year 0-2-0, while Mercer ends the first weekend of 2023 1-1-0.
 
USI trailed 1-0 after the first half after following a defensive breakdown at the 11:04 mark of the match. The Bears led the Eagles 7-5 in shots, putting a pair of shots on target.
 
The second half was a back and forth battle until USI senior midfielder Nick Faddis (St. Louis, Missouri) narrowly missed tying game at 63:11. Mercer responded six minutes later, 69:07, when the Bears split a pair of Eagle defenders for second tally of the match to seal the 2-0 contest.
 
Overall for the Eagles, USI was outshot, 15-10, but had a 3-2 advantage in corner kicks.
 
NEXT UP FOR USI:
The Eagles return to the road September 1 when they visit the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay for a noon contest. Green Bay started the year 0-1-0 and is playing Western Illinois University at home later this afternoon. The Phoenix opened the year with a 2-0 loss to the University of Memphis on August 24.
 
The Eagles are 1-2-0 all-time against Green Bay after losing a 3-1 decision last season at Strassweg Field. USI took the first meeting of the teams in 1980, 1-0, on the road, but lost, 1-0, in 1992 at the Quincy University Tournament.

Otters drop Bosse Field finale to Y’alls

0

Evansville, Ind. – The Evansville Otters closed out the 2023 Bosse Field regular season home schedule, falling to the Florence Y’alls 5-0 on Sunday afternoon.

Evansville was unable to clinch a playoff spot but a Washington loss lowers the Otters’ magic number to one with seven road games left to play this season.

The Otters notched seven hits but never found a run. Gary Mattis led Evansville’s offense with two hits.

Florence starter Ryan Watson tossed seven shutout innings, allowing six hits with a walk and six strikeouts.

The Y’alls scored the first run of the game in the second on an RBI double.

A three-run home run in the sixth extended the lead for Florence to 4-0. Back-to-back doubles added the last run for the Y’alls in the eighth.

Otters’ starter Justin Watland allowed just one run through his first five frames of work but was credited with the loss.

Dakota Phillips hit his league-leading 31st double of the season and extended his on-base streak to 17 games.

Evansville finishes the regular season with seven games on the road. They kick off the road trip against the Gateway Grizzlies in Sauget, Ill. starting on Tuesday with a 6:45 PM CT first pitch. Fans can tune in on the Otters Digital Network with the broadcast simulcast on FloSports.

USI Women’s Soccer has solid performance, suffers unlucky 1-0 loss

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer put together a solid performance on both sides of the field Sunday afternoon, but the Screaming Eagles came up on the wrong side of a 1-0 score against Purdue Fort Wayne University at Strassweg Field.
 
With Sunday’s results, the Screaming Eagles are now 0-3-1 this season, and Purdue Fort Wayne moved to 2-2-0.
 
In the first 45 minutes, both defenses played a strong role in the match. Each offense took some time to settle into a fluid rhythm in the contest. The two sides combined for seven shots in the first half. Southern Indiana’s best first-half opportunity came in the 27th minute when sophomore midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) took a strong rip at goal but was saved by the Mastodons’ graduate keeper Samantha Castaneda.
 
After that point, USI grabbed some control of the momentum and possession in the attacking half. Purdue Fort Wayne had one last look in the first half after a corner kick, taking a hard shot, but USI’s sophomore keeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) made a diving to the lower left corner to keep the contest scoreless at the halftime break.
 
Out of halftime, Purdue Fort Wayne came out on the attack. Following a solid save by Markland, the Mastodons scored a rebound goal to take a 1-0 lead in the 27th minute on an unlucky break against the Screaming Eagles.
 
In the middle of the second half, USI created some momentum in the attacking half, generating a pair of good shot attempts. Freshman midfielder Lydia Bordfeld (Evansville, Indiana) took a crack at the top-left corner of the goal in the 64th minute from approximately 25 yards out, but the Mastodons’ keeper dove to make the save. Bordfeld had another chance a few minutes later that was also saved. USI had a flurry of shots in the latter minutes of the second half but could not sneak one by Castaneda before the final horn.
 
Both programs tallied 10 shots in the game, as Purdue Fort Wayne had six on goal and USI put five on target. Bordfeld put both of her shot attempts on goal, while Murphy had one shot on frame out of two attempts. Freshman forward Pilar Torres (Chula Vista, California) also took two shots in the match. Markland finished with a season-high five saves for Southern Indiana.

The intruder fantasy devotees fear most

All these things happened within a little more than a day.

A private plane carrying Wagner Group chieftain Yevgeniy Prigozhin crashes. Video of the crash shows the plane seeming to stop in mid-air, then tumbling into a freefall.

U.S. intelligence officials say the plane was not shot down by a missile. The leading speculation is that someone placed a bomb aboard the aircraft.

At one time, Prigozhin was a confidant and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But Putin’s costly and murderous war in Ukraine divided the two men.

Prigozhin launched an abortive rebellion against Putin in June. Publicly, the two thugs made peace and linked arms again.

Privately, it seems, Putin decided not to let bygones be bygones.

His official statement acknowledging Prigozhin’s death spoke of the departed’s mistakes in life and expressed little sympathy for the man’s passing.

That Putin would assassinate a rival so publicly demonstrates that an already volatile part of the world stands to become even more unstable. Putin’s war in Ukraine has ground to a standstill, leaving him in the position of the man who holds a wolf by the ears.

He does not dare let go but he also cannot afford to hold on.

The fact that a man who has an arsenal of nuclear arms and other weapons of mass destruction at his disposal feels increasingly desperate should be a matter of grave concern.

Not long after Prigozhin’s plane fell from the sky, though, eight Republican contenders for the presidency of the United States took the stage for their first debate.

These would-be commanders-in-chief actually argued about whether the United States should continue to support Ukraine and work to contain Putin. They focused more attention on poor people crossing the border with Mexico than the mass murderer with a stable of nuclear missiles at his command.

At the same time that the Republican debate started, the platform once known as Twitter dropped an interview former Fox News host Tucker Carlson did with the man who leads the race to become the Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump.

The 46-minute interview was an exercise in both flattery and fiction, a conversation that indulged the two trust-fund-bred self-styled populists’ beliefs that the world somehow has been unfair to them.

This was not out of character for them.

Trump, of course, faces four different indictments on 91 counts, all of them stemming from the man’s inability or refusal to either speak or acknowledge the truth that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Carlson lost his cushy job, big audience and huge paycheck with Fox because even that truth-challenged network no longer could bear the cost of his constant lying. Fox already had been forced to cough up more than $787 million in one defamation suit and likely will have to surrender even more cash in another one the network is attempting to settle.

Then, the day after Prigozhin died, the eight Republicans debated and Trump and Carlson got together to swap lies, the former president surrendered to authorities in Georgia, where he will go on trial for trying to steal the 2020 election.

Trump spent 20 minutes at the Fulton County Jail, where he was fingerprinted and given a number in the county’s criminal justice system. For the first time in U.S. history, a president had a mug shot taken.

Afterward, Trump—who cemented his fame by hosting a TV show in which contestants performed made-up tasks that enabled him to pretend to fire them—conjured up still more fantasies.

He was the victim of a grave injustice, he told the cameras and microphones.

Then, the man who tried to steal the 2020 presidential election accused those working to hold him accountable for his actions of “election interference.”

While a sizable slice of the American public continued to indulge its apparently insatiable appetite for make-believe, the process of clearing the debris from Prigozhin’s plane crash and identifying the human remains began.

And the war in Ukraine—a war about principles all Americans supposedly hold dear—grinds on, stacking up misery and grief hour after hour.

That is the thing about reality.

No matter how hard we try to deny it, it always intrudes.

It always reasserts itself.

Sometimes, all we need is a day to remind us of that.
