Aces Teams Combine For An Amazing Number Of Hours

A total of 286 student-athletes averaged a total of 15.8 hours of service over the course of the year.  Leading the way among the Purple Aces programs was the softball team, whose 20 student-athletes served over 1,459 hours.  That translates to over 75 hours per person.

“Coach Mundell, his staff, and student-athletes have displayed a passion for serving our community and the efforts of the student-athletes embody our mission at UE for our students,” UE Senior Associate AD Sarah Solinsky said.  “The tremendous commitment from our student-athletes to serve the community exemplifies the quality of young men and women representing UE athletics.”

Of the top 20 student-athletes in total hours, 19 were from the softball team.  Patricia Joseph from the volleyball squad also made the list.  Aside from the softball team, the Aces volleyball and women’s basketball programs averaged over 30 hours of service per student-athlete.

“I am extremely proud of the work our ladies do in the Community of Evansville,” Aces head softball coach Mat Mundell said.  “When I first came to UE, I made it a priority for our team to give back. They have embraced service and take it to new heights every year! We pride ourselves on our servant leadership.”
