Dustin Bredemeier has been appointed Head Diving Coach for the University of Evansville Swimming and Diving Program, Head Coach Stu Wilson announced.

“I would like to thank Stu Wilson and the UE Athletic Department for the opportunity to once again be part of the UE Swimming and Diving family,” Bredemeier said.  “I am excited for the continued growth of a strong diving program through core team values, personal connections, and excellent foundations with the UE divers.”

Bredemeier has been coaching diving at Mt. Vernon Senior High School in Mt. Vernon, Ind.0 for the past five seasons.  During his time at Mt. Vernon, he directed both the boys and girls squads while finishing with an IHSAA State Qualifier and multiple Regional Qualifiers.

“I am excited to have Dustin on board as the new UE Diving Coach.  Andy Brown has done a tremendous job with the divers and I am happy for him taking his new position as Compliance Director at UE,” Coach Wilson exclaimed.  “It will be a smooth transition for Dustin. He knows what UE is about and was a former diver with the program.”

This opportunity is a special one for Bredemeier, who was a diver with the program during his college career.  He is fully aware of the tradition of the program as well as the top-notch education that UE offers.  The native of southern Indiana is excited to continue his coaching career with his alma mater. 

“I look to encourage the diving athletes to grow and be outstanding in the sport while receiving a top-quality education,” Bredemeier continued.  “It is my goal to contribute to our overall results of our program and achieve our championship goals.  I am excited to be part of the future of our program.”

Caitlin O’Donnell had an outstanding opening day at the Butler Fall Invitational, finishing the first two rounds at 5-over to lead the University of Evansville women’s golf team and Highland Country Club.

O’Donnell is right in the thick of it for the Purple Aces, sitting just six strokes out of the lead heading into Tuesday’s final round.  She opened the day with a 2-over 72 before firing a 75 in the second round.  Her 147 is tied for 10th place on the leaderboard.

A pair of UE players are tied for 13th with Mallory Russell and Allison Enchelmayer completing the day with a 148.  Russell carded scores of 73 and 75 while Enchelmayer recorded rounds of 72 and 76. 

Alyssa McMinn wrapped up Monday’s action with a 157.  After posting an 80 in round one, McMinn improved by three strokes to a 77.  She was followed by Carly Frazier, who notched a 158.  Frazier made the biggest jump in between rounds for UE, wrapping up the first 18 holes with an 82 before improving to a 76.  Taylor Keating played as an individual and registered a score of 87 in each round to sit at 174

Austin Peay’s Erica Scutt leads the way on the individual side with a 141.  She carded a 1-under 69 before completing the day with a 72.  She is one stroke in front of a second-place tie.  Leading the team standings is Butler, who has a 584 through two rounds.  The Bulldogs have four players in the top 26.  Austin Peay and Belmont are tied for second, three behind the leaders.  Evansville ranks seventh with a 599.  The Aces are just five shots outside of the top four.

On Tuesday, the final round of action will begin at 9 a.m. ET.
