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.

USI falls to Bradley in a five-set slugfest

Downing, Sobieralski named to the all-tournament team

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Despite losing the match in five sets, University of Southern Indiana Volleyball (4-6) showed the Screaming Eagles faithful true potential in a 3-2 loss (25-21, 25-22, 25-18, 25-23, 18-16) against Bradley University (7-2) in the final match of the USI Invitational at Screaming Eagles Arena on Saturday. Junior setter Carly Sobieralski (Indianapolis, Indiana) and junior middle hitter Paris Downing (Avon, Indiana) were two of the seven members who were named to the USI Invitational All-Tournament Team.
 
A slow start from the Eagles cost them the opening frame, 25-21. The Braves went up 6-4 before a short 3-0 run sparked by kills from sophomore middle hitter Bianca Anderson (Chicago Heights, Illinois) and senior outside/right side hitter Abby Bednar (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) gave USI their only lead of the set. Bradley quickly retaliated and nabbed an 8-1 run that put the Eagles in a six-point deficit. Down 23-17, USI was able to cut the Bradley lead to just three after scoring four-straight points off a kill and ace from senior outside hitter Leah Anderson (Bloomington, Illinois), but it was not enough as the Braves handled the game in the end. Both sides had 40 or more attempts but it was Bradley who won the kills competition, earning 15 kills compared to USI’s 11 kills.
 
The Eagles took control of the game early and tamed the Braves in a 25-22 second-set victory. USI kicked off the frame with an 8-1 surge that began with a Downing kill and ended with a kill from junior outside hitter Abby Weber (Fishers, Indiana). The Eagles held a seven-point advantage until Bradley returned fire and scored six of the next seven points to make it a 12-10 game. USI was able to regain a larger lead after three kills from three different Eagles and an ace from Bednar that made it 19-14. The Braves pushed back with a 4-0 stint until USI’s offense stole the show and tacked on four kills and an ace to tie the match at one apiece.
 
Bradley’s immaculate run cost USI the third set, dropping 25-18. The Braves started with a 4-0 run and would later hold a 15-12 lead. Despite earning eight kills in their first 12 points, USI could not stop Bradley as the Braves put on an 8-0 stint that nearly doubled up the Eagles, 23-12. However, USI battled back with six straight points with the help of Bradley’s four offensive miscues. Even after a late comeback, the Eagles could not close out the miracle as the Braves took a 2-1 match lead. For the second time in the match, Bradley put up 15 kills with a match-low four errors while USI had a match-low nine kills. This was the only match of the tournament to make it past the third set.
 
Seven kills from Bednar highlight the 25-23 fourth-set win for USI as the Eagles knot up the match at two apiece. It was a close game until USI put up a 7-0 sequence that had a kill from Weber and a kill and ace from Bednar to make it 17-13. Bradley would not go down without a fight as the Braves battled back within one by scoring seven of the next 11 points. Back-to-back kills from Leah Anderson and another kill by Bednar extended the lead before the Braves retaliated with a 3-0 run of their own. Bednar’s seventh kill was the dagger that handed Bradley the loss and sent the Eagles to their first fifth set this season. USI put up a better offensive attack after earning a match-high 13 kills in comparison to Bradley’s match-low 10 kills.
 
It was total mayhem in the fifth set as both sides traded punches until Bradley came out on top over USI, 18-16. The Eagles held a 4-3 lead after a pair of Bednar kills. The Braves returned the favor with a 3-0 run before USI added three straight points to regain the 7-6 advantage. After 11 lead changes and 13 ties, Bradley nabbed the victory in extra time to go undefeated in the tournament. USI was nearly flawless on the offensive end, earning nine kills with just two errors.
 
Bednar posted her third career 20-kill match after totaling a season-high and team-leading 20 kills and four aces to pair with 16 digs. Leah Anderson put up three aces and four blocks while Downing added four blocks of her own. Junior middle blocker Lauren O’Neill (Covington, Indiana) came into the match late but produced three blocks. Sobieralski proved her worth with match-highs of 38 assists and 23 digs, good enough for her fourth double-double and her first 20+ dig night of the season. Sophomore libero/defensive specialist Keira Moore (Newburgh, Indiana) and Weber were the other two Eagles to have double-digit kills with 18 and 16 digs, respectively.  
 
As a team, USI totaled 54 kills, 48 assists, and nine aces with a season-high 84 digs and nine blocks. Bradley ended the night with 69 kills, 62 assists, and eight aces to go with 97 digs and 11 blocks.
 
Joining Sobieralski and Downing on the USI Invitational All-Tournament Team roster includes Camille Johnson (University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff), Ellie Garrett (Jacksonville State University), Jasmine Green (Bradley), Dru Kuck (Bradley), and Karagan Coggin (Bradley) as voted on by participating teams’ coaches.
 
NEXT UP FOR THE EAGLES:
The Eagles conclude the non-conference slate on Wednesday in Indianapolis, Indiana when USI takes on IUPUI at 5 p.m. (CT). The two squads met last year in exhibition play where the Jaguars took home the unofficial 3-2 win. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
