The University of Evansville Department of Theatre opens their 2021–2022 season with Branden Jacobs–Jenkins’ EVERYBODY, on Thursday, Sept. 30, at 7:30 pm., in Shanklin Theatre. Additional performances are at 7:30 pm on Oct. 1, 2, and at 2:00 pm on Oct. 3.

A finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, this innovative play is an immersive and inclusive experience for the cast and audience—as actors draw lots onstage to discover which role they will play at each performance. This brilliant, award-winning playwright gives us a modern take on Everyman, a 15th-century morality play. His inventive interpretation is a provocative and joyful romp about love and death, a whimsical look into the unknown, and, ultimately, an exploration of the ties that bind us on this wondrous journey called life. Who knew that death could be so fun? And absurdly funny!

On September 24, UE alumna Dr. Katherine Weikert has been shortlisted for one of the most important prizes in architectural history.

Dr Weikert’s monograph Authority, Gender and Space in the Anglo-Norman World, 900-1200 (Boydell & Brewer, 2020) is one of six monographs on this year’s shortlist for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion, which is awarded by the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB). The Medallion is the most prestigious prize in the discipline, awarded annually since 1959 to a monograph that makes an outstanding contribution to the study or knowledge of architectural history. Previous winners include Howard Colvin, Dorothy Stroud, John Summerson, Nikolaus Pevsner, Hermione Hobhouse and Jill Lever.

Dr. Weikert (BA History ’01) said: “It is a great honour to be short-listed for the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion. To be in the same footsteps as Sir Nicholas Pevsner, the great writer of the county-by-county Buildings of England guides, is an enormous thrill.

“My grounding in medieval studies comes from the very beginning of my education at the University of Evansville, and without expert guidance and scholarship from the Departments of History and Archaeology at the start of my studies, I never would have set off on an academic career of research, teaching and writing.

“The SAHGB’s recognition of my book is also a great mark of support for vibrant, challenging interdisciplinary research on medieval architectural history. I am absolutely delighted to be on the shortlist for this wonderful award.”

The shortlisted monograph explores medieval manor houses, revealing how concepts of space and domestic place were understood and used by their occupants in England and Normandy. Blending approaches from history and archaeology, Dr Weikert uses Anglo-Saxon wills, standing and excavated manorial sites in England and Normandy and written texts, including poetry, as evidence.

Dr Katherine Weikert is currently a Senior Lecturer in Early Medieval History at the University of Winchester (UK). She has published extensively in Anglo-Norman and early English history. Her main areas of research examine the connections between gender, space and authority in England and Normandy circa 900-1200, and the political uses of the medieval past.

The winner of the Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion will be selected in the autumn and announced at the Society’s Annual Lecture and Awards Ceremony. The full shortlist is available on the SAHGB website.

Dr. Weikert can be found on Twitter @kateweikert. Learn more about her research at https://www.katherineweikert.co.uk/

In its first conference match with the Cougars since 2016, the University of Evansville men's soccer team fell to SIUE, 4-0, on Wednesday night at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Junior Nkosi Graham led the Aces attack, recording a season-high three shots, putting all three on frame in the loss. Between the posts, redshirt junior Jacob Madden made five saves in his fifth-straight start.

Featuring a crowd of nearly 500, the Aces came off kickoff quickly, generating opportunities in the attacking third. Countrymen Carlos Barcia and Pablo Guillen both recorded shots for the Aces inside the first 20 minutes to jumpstart Evansville's attack as the Aces would tally seven total shots in the opening half. Just before the break, SIUE opened the scoring as Mitchell Murphy made a run and found thr back of the net in the 42nd minute.

Two quick goals from the Cougars inside the first 12 minutes in the second half increase its advantage to 3-0 as Pau Palacin scored and Murphy recorded his second of the match off an assist from Max Broughton. In the 78th minute, Graham nearly pulled one back for the Aces as the Lumberton, New Jersey native made a run and attempted a shot from an acute angle that the Cougars keeper saved. Closing the match, SIUE scored its fourth of the night in the 82nd minute as Noah Fetter found the back of the net off an assist from Pau Palacin in the Cougars 4-0 win.

Evansville goes back on the road this weekend, traveling to Des Moines, Iowa for a Saturday matchup with Drake at Noon.

Despite opening the scoring in the match, the University of Evansville women's soccer team dropped the finale of a two-game homestand to Loyola Chicago, 3-1, on Wednesday afternoon at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Senior Emily Ormson increased her team lead in goals, scoring her fifth goal of the season in the 32nd minute. In goal, fifth-year senior Michaela Till made four saves on the evening.

Till was busy early, but held her ground in the opening half, stopping a pair of shots early in the match. Evansville found the scoreboard in the 32nd minutes off a free kick. Senior Alex Eyler took the free kick just inside the Ramblers half, looping it just into the box. The ball was headed up into the air by a Rambler and then bounced just outside of the box. Ormson approached the ball off the bounce and fired a volley past the keeper's right to give the Aces a 1-0 lead at the half.

Just past five minutes into the second half, Loyola answered as Megan Nemec found Megan Demski, who slipped it into the back of the net in the 51st minute. A great chance in the 65th minute for the Aces came as freshman Hailey Autenrieb got into the box and sent a shot on-goal that was saved by the Ramblers. In the 74th minute, the Ramblers went in front as Olivia Knab scored to give Loyola a 2-1 advantage. Closing-out the match, Sarah Noonan scored for the Ramblers in the 86th minute, assisted by Jenna Ross, as Loyola secured the 3-1 win.

Evansville hits the road for a pair of matches, beginning with a Saturday contest at Noon against Indiana State in Terre Haute, Indiana.
