This “unauthorized parody” features angst-ridden teens facing the trials and traumas of adolescence in a brutally honest coming-of-age story. With crackling dialogue, Bert V.

Join us for this gritty look into the inner lives of characters you only thought you knew.

Gia Gleason, a senior stage management major, from Sellersburg Ind., directs DOG SEES GOD; Frank Ingalls, a first-year design and technology major, from Frisco, Texas, is the Zoom Environmental Designer; Luke Moran, a senior performance major, from Mount Vernon, Iowa, is the costume designer/stylist; Evan Lawson, a senior performance major, from Arvada, Colo., is the dramaturg; and Madison Wilson, a sophomore stage management major, from Fort Worth, Texas, is the stage manager.

The cast features Brody Ogle, a first-year performance major, from Owensboro Ky., as CB; Gabriel Smothers, a sophomore performance major, from Casper, Wyo., as Beethoven; Bryce Galvan, a sophomore performance major, from West Carrollton, Ohio, as Van; Madison G. Conway, a first-year performance major, from Jeffersonville, Ind., as CB’s Sister; Avery Finn, a firstyear theatre studies major, from Terre Haute, Ind., as Van’s Sister; Samantha Barklow, a first-year performance major, from Dubuque, Iowa, as Marcy; Allie Marie Wheeless, a first-year theatre management major, from Midland, Texas, as Tricia; McAllister Reed Stowell, a sophomore performance major, from Lakewood, Colo., as Matt.

Recent UE Creative Writing grad Jenna Sumpter publishes a fiction piece in Not Deer Magazine titled "The City of Unmanageable Blood."

Professor of Philosophy, Tony Beavers, has been offered a fellowship at the Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Pittsburgh for this coming fall. He will be working on the ethical implications of artificial intelligence systems, addressing issues that come with deep learning and machine learning techniques, such as bias, reliability and trust of diagnostic systems, prediction and profiling, while working on a theory that supports ethical algorithms to correct for issues in such systems. This is a continuation of work started by Beavers when on an NEH Digital Humanities fellowship at Indiana University during the 2008-2009 academic year and at the NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities held at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics at UCLA in 2010.

For the first time since the season opener at Indiana State, the University of Evansville volleyball team earned a 3-0 sweep with the Purple Aces taking down Southern Illinois by a 3-0 final on Monday evening inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Alondra Vazquez led everyone with 178 kills while hitting an efficient .385. Melanie Feliciano recorded 13 kills in the Aces (5-11, 4-10 MVC) winning effort. Elise Moeller and Hannah Watkins had strong games, recording 7 and 6 kills, respectively. Feliciano led UE with 15 digs while Allana McInnis notched 26 assists. Brooke Springer added three block assists and a solo block. Imani Hartfield led the Salukis (2-14, 1-13 MVC) with eight kills while Rachel Maguire had a game-high 36 helpers.

Game 1

Southern Illinois had the upper hand to begin game one, taking a 5-3 lead before extending that to a 10-6 advantage. Evansville came right back with Allana McInnis posting an ace before Alondra Vazquez added a kill and ace to tie it up at 11. Elise Moeller picked up a kill following a long rally that put Evansville in front at 12-11. The Aces continued to roll as a Hannah Watkins kill pushed the lead to 19-14. UE’s lead reached as many as six points before the Salukis cut the deficit to a pair before the Aces finished with the 25-21 win.

Game 2

The first lead for UE came at 6-5 on a solo block by Brooke Springer. Moeller continued one of her top offensive performances, adding a kill that pushed the lead to 10-8. After SIU retook an 11-10 edge, the Aces jumped back in front at 14-12 on a Saluki service error. An exciting rally that saw clutch digs by Cecilia Thon and Laura Ruiz was capped off by a Vazquez kill that set UE up with a 17-13 advantage. Things continued to go the Aces way with the group pulling away for a 25-17 win that saw Moeller and Springer combine on the clinching block.

Game 3

A kill by Hannah Watkins helped the Aces take an early 6-3 lead. Two service aces helped SIU rally back to go up 7-6 before Evansville countered to retake a 14-12 lead on consecutive Melanie Feliciano kills. SIU got back within one before two Ruiz aces Evansville to a game-high 21-14 lead. From there, the Aces held strong and wrapped up the sweep with a 25-18 decision in the third frame.

A trip to Illinois State is up next for the Aces, who face the Redbirds on Sunday and Monday in a pair of 4 p.m. contests.

Spencer Wagner finished under par for the second day in a row on Monday in the second round of the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate.

Sunday’s opening round for Wagner saw him pace the University of Evansville with a 1-under 71 and on Monday, Wagner backed that up with an identical score.  His 2-under 142 has him in a tie for 11th place heading into Tuesday’s final round of 18. 

Isaac Rohleder is second on the Purple Aces squad and tied for 23rd on the leaderboard with a 145.  He carded a 1-over 73 in round two.  Next up was Jessie Brumley.  Following a 73 on Sunday, Brumley recorded a 78 today and is tied for 50th with a 151. 

Brumley is closely followed by Henry Kiel and Carson Parker.  Kiel notched a 77 on Monday and stands with a tally of 152 while Parker is one behind him with a 153.  He shot a 78 in the second round.  Nick Wolf of UT Martin leads the individuals with a 9-under 135.  He finished Monday’s round with a 67.

On the team leaderboard, it is the Skyhawks holding a one-stroke lead over Morehead State.  UTM sits with a 566 while MSU has a 567.  Tennessee Tech is third with a 571.  Evansville is 11th in the standings with a 590.  The Aces are one behind UNI for 10th.  On Tuesday, the final round of 18 will complete the event.

The Missouri Valley Conference has postponed the Evansville-Missouri State women's soccer match (March 19) at The Betty and Bobby Allison South Stadium in Springfield, Mo., due to COVID-19 issues within Evansville’s Tier I personnel, which consists of student-athletes, coaches, managers and staff. The Conference will announce a make-up date for the match at a later date.

MVC athletically related activities will take place only to the extent permitted by local environments and applicable national, state, local and institutional guidelines in order to safeguard the health and safety of participants, staff and fans.

University of Evansville Director of Athletics Mark Spencer has announced that head women’s basketball coach Matthew Ruffing has been relieved of his duties with the Purple Aces, effective immediately.

“After evaluating our women’s basketball program, I have determined that a change in leadership is necessary at this time,” Spencer said. “Under Coach Ruffing’s leadership, we were regrettably unable to achieve the level of competitive excellence that we expect at the University of Evansville.”

“The goal of our program is to be a highly-valued member of the Missouri Valley Conference and to compete regularly on a national stage,” Spencer explained. “Success in women’s basketball is paramount to that strategy. This program has a solid foundation with a dedicated on-campus practice facility as well as the complete renovation of Meeks Family Fieldhouse.”

“I want to thank Matt Ruffing, his staff and their families, for their tremendous commitment to serving the University of Evansville, the women’s basketball program and especially the student-athletes. We wish nothing but the best for Matt and Erin in the future.”

A national search for Ruffing’s replacement will begin immediately.
