The Eykamp Prize was established by Richard and Rita Eykamp in 2015 to honor Faculty Achievement at the University of Evansville. Recipients of the prize will receive an award of $10,000 in recognition of extraordinary contributions to the University of Evansville as University Citizens. Examples of such contributions include deep and successful involvement in recruiting students; expanding the number, scope, and competitiveness of grant funding for their department; bringing positive public awareness to the University through scholarship, knowledge, and understanding of their discipline.

Nominations for the Eykamp Prize may come from any member of the University of Evansville community. Nominees should be tenured or tenure-track faculty members at the University of Evansville who have not received the award in the previous five years. Nominations can be submitted in writing or via e-mail to Dr. Michael Austin, Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, at ma352@evansville.edu by March 12, 2021. Nominations should include the name of the faculty member and a brief statement of the reasons that he or she is being nominated.

Recipients of the Eykamp Prize will be selected by an Awards Committee appointed by the EVPAA and Provost that includes members of the faculty and staff, academic administrators, and at least one member of the Board of Trustees. The award will be announced and presented at the May Commencement Ceremony.

Previous recipients in the last five years are: 2016 – Dr. Mark Valenzuela; 2017 – Dr. Lora Becker; 2018 – Dr. David Dwyer; 2019 – Dr. Kristy Miller; and 2020 – Dr. Jerrilee LaMar.

Dr. Nick Harmon, assistant professor of physics, published a new article entitled "Theory of oblique-field magnetoresistance from spin centers in three-terminal spintronic devices" in Physical Review B. The work, with a coauthor from the University of Iowa, demonstrates how signals previously ascribed to spin injection into semiconductors are better characterized by magnetic field-dependent hopping currents through interfacial defects. An application of this work is that these defect-mediated currents can be used as sensors of magnetic fields. NASA is currently investigating this idea as a field sensor for its planned mission to Europa in a few years.

The article abstract is here https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.103.035310.

University of Evansville junior Shamar Givance was named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference Second Team in an announcement by the league on Tuesday morning.

Givance has excelled in all facets of the game in helping lead the Purple Aces to their first top five seed at Arch Madness since 2016. The junior completed the regular season averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 assists and 3.8 rebounds per game. With an average of 1.5 steals per game, Givance paced the MVC.

Offensively, Givance made one of the top jumps in the entire conference. After finishing last season with an average of 4.0 points per game, he has seen that number jump by almost nine points. He has recorded double figures in 19 out of 24 games after reaching that mark just one time over his entire sophomore campaign.

The reigning conference Player of the Week tied his career mark with 22 points in Saturday’s win over Missouri State that helped the Purple Aces clinch the #5 seed entering this weekend’s tournament. Over his last seven games, Givance has taken his offense to a new level, recording 17.1 PPG over the last seven contests. He is coming off of a series against the Bears that saw him knock down 7 of his 12 3-point attempts.

With a total of 37 steals and an average of 1.5 per contest, he paced the MVC in the regular season. He finished second with 4.0 assists per game, recording a total of 96 in Evansville’s 24 games. Givance’s top efforts in that department saw him finish with eight helpers in games against Illinois State and Indiana State.

This marks the first All-Conference nod for Givance. He and the entire UE program have their sights set on Friday’s matchup against #4 Indiana State at 2:08 p.m.

University of Evansville freshman Marah Wood has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week.

Wood batted a solid .364 in the Purple Aces series against Green Bay. The Brownsburg, Indiana native registered four hits in 11 at-bats while hitting a home run. She walked three times while scoring twice. Following an 0-3 game in Saturday’s opener, Wood went 2-3 with a run in game two.

She became more comfortable as the series moved along, posting the first home run of her UE career in game one on Sunday. She went 1-3 while drawing a walk. Wood added another hit and two walks in the series finale. She reached base 50% of the time in the 4-game set while slugging .818.

Melanie Feliciano and Alondra Vazq uez combined for 48 kills in a 5-set match that saw Missouri State use a late rally to finish with a 3-2 victory.

Feliciano led the Purple Aces (3-9, 2-8 MVC) with 25 kills while Vazquez added 23. Feliciano hit an impressive .368 while adding 12 digs. Rachel Basinski added a career-high 31 digs on the defensive side while Brooke Springer and Allana McInnis had three block assists apiece. McInnis also had 50 assists. Leading the Bears (11-2, 7-1 MVC) was Brooklyn Cink, who had 25 kills.

Game 1

Missouri State broke a 5-5 tie by scoring four in a row. Evansville rallied back when Laura Ruiz had consecutive service aces to tie the score back up at 12-12. The Aces tied it up on two more occasions, but the Bears wrestled away a 19-15 edge before taking the set by a 25-21 final. Evansville closed within one at 21-20 on a Hannah Watkins kill, but the Bears countered with the late rally.

Game 2

In game two, a pair of Feliciano kills saw the Aces jump out to a 7-2 lead. They would add to the advantage, going up by seven points on another Feliciano tally that pushed the lead to 13-6. Missouri State closed within three points on a few occasions, but it was Alondra Vazquez who took control down the stretch, registering three late kills to tie the match up with a 25-21 decision.

Game 3

Evansville took another early lead, reeling off eight of the first 11 to go up by a score of 8-3. Chloe Bontrager had two kills in the early stretch. MSU rallied back to tie it up at 11-11, but another UE run saw them go up 18-13 in a run that saw Feliciano post four kills. Once again, Missouri State stormed back. Trailing 22-18, Missouri State scored six in a row and looked to be in control, but Evansville had other ideas. Kills by Vazquez and Watkins saw the Aces jump back in front, 25-24, before Feliciano broke a 26-26 tie by adding two more kills to her total to give the Aces a 28-26 win and a 2-1 lead.

Game 4

Up 8-7 to begin the fourth frame, the Bears six of the next seven points to take a 14-8 lead. From there, they took control, tying the match with a 25-16 win.

Game 5

With the momentum back on their side, the Bears picked up a 4-2 lead to start the fifth game. Feliciano and Bontrager registered kills that saw the Aces claw back within one at 6-5, but Missouri State put forth another big run, scoring five in a row before winning the match with a 15-7 victory in the fifth set.

Evansville remains on the road next weekend, traveling to Drake for a 2-game series.
