The Department of Art is pleased to announce the exhibition entitled Little Boxes: Mixed Media Assemblage by artist and visiting Theatre faculty Jeff Hinchee. Please visit the Krannert Gallery between now and December 18.

The University of Evansville Department of Theatre is excited to continue the fall season of the 2021–2022 school year with Anton Chekov’s THREE SISTERS, in a new version by Sarah Ruhl, based on a literal translation by Elise Thoron with Natasha Paramonova and Kristin Johnsen-Neshati. The show opens on Friday, Nov. 12, at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. In repertory style with GONE MISSING, created by The Civilians, additional performances of THREE SISTERS are at 7:30 p.m., on Nov. 19, 20, and Dec. 2, and at 2:00 p.m., on Nov. 13 and Dec. 5.

Sarah Ruhl’s modern voice has garnered her a Tony Award nomination, a MacArthur Fellowship, and she was twice named a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Her version of one of Chekhov’s most famous plays exposes the timely struggles of a family living in a small town in Russia and facing gambling debts, a house in foreclosure, and fears of a war on the horizon. These sisters defy despair, celebrate milestones, fall hopelessly in love, and rival as only siblings can. With unyielding resilience and acerbic humor, these women throw themselves into the distance between their dreams and reality and inspire us all to brave our own “new normal.”

Yoon Bae, guest artist, serves as the scenic designer; Sara Mathew, a junior design and technology major, from Union, Ky., serves as the costume designer; Associate Professor Stephen Boulmetis serves as the lighting designer; Richard B.

The University of Evansville Department of Theatre announces the third installment of the 2021–2022 season with GONE MISSING, created by The Civilians, written by Steven Cosson, from interviews by the company, with music and lyrics by Michael Friedman. The show opens on Saturday, Nov. 13, at 7:30 p.m., in Shanklin Theatre. Running in repertory style with THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekov, in a new version by Sarah Ruhl, additional performances of GONE MISSING are at 7:30 p.m., on Nov. 18, and Dec. 3 and 4, and at 2:00 p.m., on Nov. 20 and 21.

This charming show combines real-life interviews about the nature of memory with a scintillating score that effortlessly swings between salsa, ballads, jazzy numbers, and tuneful pop songs. An ensemble of eccentric characters seamlessly intertwines tales of lost objects with fascinating stories of seekers and finders and examines our tendency to place heightened significance on everyday items. While a global pandemic may be the most opportune time to explore this “cabaret of loss,” it is the communal experience of shared joy that is sure to resonate and linger in hearts and minds long after the show ends.

Jacek Kanur, a research analyst, with Franklin Templeton, will speak to UE students in Dr. Walayet Khan’s classes via Zoom at 6.00 p.m. on Thursday, November 11. Graduated in 2021 represented UE in CFA investment challenge in 2020/2021, he started working at Franklin Templeton in Poznan, Poland, as a stock analyst in his final semester of college.

The Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion was recently awarded a $90,000 grant to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The grant was part of the COVID-19 Crisis Response Fund of the Greater Evansville Region, which provided $1 million to a total of six organizations in September. The purpose of these funds is to support non-profits that are reconceptualizing systems, environments, and pathways to create a more resilient region.

The Center has created "Springboard,” a summer day program that seeks to address the preparation gap for under-resourced high school students before graduation. The program will include STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) curriculum, character development, and leadership training. Intracultural appreciation will also be fostered to improve intercultural competency. Through these efforts, Springboard will improve high school graduation rates as well as college readiness and admission for students from Black and African American ALICE families (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed).

Springboard is a collaborative project between UE and Black Lemonade, Inc., which is a non-profit organization “dedicated to turning sour conflict into sweet and powerful solutions.” Black Lemonade originally created a summer camp for grades K-8, but the grant will expand its reach to support students up to 12th grade.

"I'm so glad to share this vision of helping my community advance in ways that oftentimes weren’t discussed growing up,” said Kaymi Butler, who serves as founder and chief executive officer of Black Lemonade. “This vision, and more importantly its execution, is more than preparing a student for a future career. It's about instilling in them how to avoid the hate that is often associated with indifference. It's about teaching and showing love, letting go of the stereotypes, and purposefully meeting a person where they are."

The Springboard program will be spearheaded by both UE and Black Lemonade, but current students are developing the curriculum through a ChangeLab titled “Community Race Project.” ChangeLabs are semester-long courses in which students work in teams to tackle a local or regional issue and create positive change in the community. The Community Race Project will continue into the spring semester to further prepare for the camp.

Additional details for Springboard will be added to the UE website at a later date and can be found at evansville.edu/cdei.

November 5th, the UE CFIC Team welcomed the Elevate Team to campus, discussed our higher education initiatives, and the role UE can play in fostering innovation in this region.

In August, UE was the recipient of a $50,000 Elevate Nexus Grant. The Center will utilize those funds to develop a 3 pronged approach to better supporting innovation education in our region. 1) Creation of the MakerspACE on campus, where people in the community can receive help with graphic design, prototyping an idea, or creating a pitch deck; 2) Creation of an internship on campus so that space can be managed by a UE student; and 3) Creation of a summer institute at UE for K-16 educators in southern Indiana who want to learn how to infuse more creative problem solving in their classrooms (regardless of subject). Educators will then have their students compete in one of the many existing pitch competitions in Indiana, leveraging resources and dramatically increasing youth access to these events and surfacing those Changemaker ideas.

We can’t wait to get started, are honored and grateful to be with this group, and will document the journey!

Hosting its first MVC Tournament match since 2018, the University of Evansville men's soccer team turned-up the attack in the second half, cruising to a 4-2 win over Drake in the quarterfinals on Tuesday at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville, Ind.

"One game at a time. Great showing from the guys and a great response to going down a goal," said Aces head men's soccer coach Marshall Ray. "I thought we came out in the second half and executed our game plan and were able to open them up and create some opportunities. Fortunate to be up a man, but still had to make sure we got the chances and put them in the back of the net. Big day for Nkosi. A big thank you to all the students and the community that came out and support us today and have lunch with us as we played our MVC Tournament game. Great to have that support. Now we'll rest and get prepared for our next opponent on Friday. We look forward to heading to Springfield to compete in the semis of the Missouri Valley Conference Championship."

Junior Nkosi Graham stole the show on Tuesday afternoon, scoring twice and nearly adding a third in the postseason win, while freshman Edward Mendy found the back of the net for the first time in his collegiate career. In goal, redshirt junior Jacob Madden secured his fourth win of the season, making three saves on the day.

After an early chance for redshirt junior Jakub Hall, it was Drake who got off on the front foot in the match. Inside the first 10 minutes, the Bulldogs recorded four shots, including a pair on goal, but Madden made two saves to keep the match scoreless. A back-and-forth match in the early going, Evansville recorded a trio of shots just minutes later as the pressure increased from the Aces.

In the 23rd minute, a Drake player received a red card, leading to the Bulldogs playing with 10 men for the final 67 minutes in the match. Despite the disadvantage, it was the Bulldogs who scored first. In the 30th minute, the Bulldogs scored as a cross along the endline from Louis Yuill was clipped in by Juan Louis to give Drake the lead a third of the way through.

The Bulldogs' lead would last for just over 10 minutes before a tremendous run by Nkosi Graham resulted in a goal. Graham broke free of a defender down the right side and crossed a ball into the box that found freshman Jose Vivas. Vivas quickly put a shot towards goal that was blocked, but bounced free and Edward Mendy pushed the ball towards goal and found the back of the net to equalize the match at one at the half.

After an evenly played opening 45 minutes, the Aces took full control in the second half. 10 minutes into the second period, Evansville took the lead. Senior Raphaello Perez Colasito dribbled into the box and looked to send a cross to Graham, but a Drake defender slid in, flipping the ball towards goal and off the crossbar and in. From that point, the Aces were in full control. In the 64th minute, Graham scored his first of the game, taking advantage of a misplay by Drake's backline and finishing past the keeper to boos the Aces lead to two goals.

Just eight minutes later, it was Graham again who bolstered Evansville's advantage, scoring off an assist from sophomore Pablo Guillen for his second goal of the day. As the minutes waned, Drake pushed back within two with a late goal, but the Aces closed-out the match, earning the 4-2 win.

The four goals scored by the Aces were the most by Evansville in an MVC Tournament match since a 4-0 win over Tulsa in the MVC Tournament semifinals in 1995.

With a Bradley upset win of SIUE, the tournament will be reseeded with the Aces now facing No. 2 seed Loyola at 3 PM on Friday afternoon in Springfield, Mo. for the MVC Tournament semifinals.

Battling back from a late deficit, the University of Evansville women's basketball showed resilience in a 62-52 season-opening win over Austin Peay on Tuesday night inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.

"That was just a really gritty win. We had a rough stretch, a really rough third quarter, and to see our kids fight back and not fold and not lose their confidence, I'm just so proud of them," said Aces head women's basketball coach Robyn Scherr-Wells. "They worked hard to be at this point and it was great to see them get the win in the first game."

A roster split equally between new faces and returners saw both make significant impacts. The team's leading scorer over the past two seasons, junior Abby Feit again topped the scoring for the Aces, finishing with her 12th double-double, recording 21 points and 11 boards. Two other Aces finished with double-figures, both making their debuts in white and purple, as senior Myia Clark poured-in 15 points and freshman Elly Morgan tallied 11 points. Morgan and Clark both made a significant impact on the defensive end with their consistent pressure, combining for six steals. For the Governors, newcomers Yamia Johnson and Karle Pace both led the way with 14 points on the night.

"We had great energy the entire game. We got down a little but we bounced back really well and I think that's a big improvement from last year," said Feit after the win. "Like I said, we kept the energy high the entire game and the intensity and we were pressing, turning them over, and we got great shots on offense, so it was overall a well-rounded game."

After going 243 days between games, Evansville looked in mid-season shape to start the game, jumping out to an 11-point lead in the opening stanza. Feit and Clark were the primary catalysts in the Aces early momentum, combining for 13 of the Aces first 21 points. After four-straight Governor points to close the quarter, Morgan knocked-down a triple to return Evansville to a double-digit advantage at 24-14.

In the second quarter, Evansville's lead ballooned to 14 on three by Clark with 3:44 left in the half, but Austin Peay had a burst in them to close out the opening half. Over the final 3:44, the Governors put together an 8-0 run to cut the Aces lead to just four at 35-29 at the break.

The Governors run to close the opening half spilled over into the third quarter as Austin Peay got within one less than two minutes into the second half. With 3:39 remaining in the third, a three from Nina De Leon Negron handed Austin Peay its first lead of the game at 41-39. Shooting just 20% (3-15) in the third period, Evansville struggled to keep pace with the Governors as the Aces were out-scored 17-6 in the quarter with Austin Peay grabbing a 46-41 lead heading into the final 10 minutes.

Austin Peay pushed its lead to seven at 50-43 just minutes into the fourth as had been limited to just eight points in the first 12 minutes of the second half. After a layup from Feit cut the deficit to five, a massive shift in momentum occurred with just over six minutes remaining. Driving to the lane, Clark was fouled and flung the ball towards the rim, hitting the shot and earning a trip to the line, brining Evansville within a possession. As Evansville's defense turned-up the heat, its offense got going as well. Trailing by three, the Aces got a pair of threes from the left side that flipped the script and handed UE the three-point advantage. A stifling defensive effort over the final eight minutes limited the Governors to just two points in that span, while Evansville scored 19 as the Aces pulled away for the win.

Evansville's rim protection was key to the win as the Aces recorded nine blocks on the night, the most by Evansville since recording nine against Bradley on March 8, 2018.

The Aces continue their season-opening homestand on Sunday at 1 PM inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse with matchup with Oakland City in Evansville.

Michael Ikejiani was the top finisher while Masatoyo Kato had the low round of the day as the University of Evansville men’s golf team completed the Alabama A&M Fall Invite on Tuesday.

Ikejiani registered a 75 in the final 18 holes to finish with a 3-round total of 218.  That gave him a top ten to wrap up the fall, taking 8th in the final standings.  He had the low round of the even to open the tournament on Monday, shooting a 1-under 71.

Masatoyo Kato and Carson Parker each tied for the 13th position.  Kato carded a 73 on Tuesday on his way to a 223.  His top effort of the week was a 72 in round two.  After opening with a 73, Parker tallied rounds of 75 in the final two rounds.  One behind the duo was Isaac Rohleder and Nicholas Gushrowski.  They each finished with final tallies of 224.  Rohleder’s final round finished at 74 while Gushrowski posted a 76.  They tied for 17th.

Henry Kiel was next for UE.  Tying for 21st, Kiel had his top round of the tournament, scoring a 73 in the last 18 holes.  His final score was a 226.

Caleb Wassmer and Dallas Koth came home in a tie for 28th with scores of 232.  After completing the first two rounds in a tie, Koth and Wassmer both recorded a 76 in the final round.  Cody Mobley had an impressive debut in Alabama.  A 78 on Tuesday gave him a final score of 236, which tied him for 34th.  Eli Rohleder had his top round of the week, tallying a 79 on Tuesday.  His 3-round score checked in at a 247.

Jacksonville State’s Santigio Bailleres was the medalist.  A 2-under 70 in the final round gave him a 213, which defeated the competition by two strokes.  Alabama A&M held on to take the team championship with an 879.  They defeated Florida A&M by six strokes.  Evansville’s Purple Team took third place while the Orange squad finished in sixth.

Evan Kuhlman and Blaise Beauchamp scored 11 points apiece in Tuesday’s season opener that saw the University of Evansville men’s basketball team fall to the University of Cincinnati by a final of 65-43 inside Fifth Third Arena.

Kuhlman drained three triples while adding six rebounds while Beauchamp hit a team-high four free throws.  Shamar Givance recorded 7 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds while Noah Frederking scored six while leading the way with 8 rebounds.  Pacing the Bearcats was Jeremiah Davenport, who scored 11 points and hit three triples.

“We have not seen that kind of length, speed and aggressiveness.  I thought we kept guarding and I am sure there will be some good lessons from tonight,” UE head coach Todd Lickliter said.  “We really fought on the boards, our defensive rebounding was tremendous.  Cincinnati really challenged us, it was a physical game and our guys kept fighting away.”

Jawaun Newton got the Aces on the board in the opening minutes, giving his team a 2-0 lead.  The defense had a strong start, holding the Bearcats to just one make in their first eight tries.  At the 14:49 mark, Cincinnati took its first lead at 5-3 before a pair of Blaise Beauchamp free throws tied it at 5-5 before a triple by the sophomore gave Evansville an 8-5 edge. 

With 11:10 showing on the clock, a layup by Shamar Givance solidified a 13-10 UE lead.  That is when Cincinnati made its run, outscoring the Purple Aces by an 18-1 margin to go up 28-14.  Spearheading the stretch for UC was Mason Madsen, who knocked down back-to-back treys to give his team a 16-13 edge.  Following a Givance free throw, Jeremiah Davenport made it three 3’s in a row in a stretch that was capped off on a Mike Saunders Jr. layup at the 4-minute mark that made it a 28-14 game.

UE’s offense missed 11 shots in a row during a scoreless drought that lasted 7 minutes and 35 seconds.  The Aces also turned it over twice.  Following a media time out, it was Newton who got his team back on track with a layup.  Noah Frederking and Evan Kuhlman added late triples that saw Evansville cut the deficit to single digits at the break, trailing 31-22. 
Cincinnati took its largest lead at 44-26 at the 13:01 mark of the second half.  Evansville countered when Antoine Smith Jr. knock down a triple to cut the deficit back to 15 points at 44-29, forcing a Bearcat time out.  They responded following the stoppage, pushing the advantage to 20 points for the first time at 53-33 just past the midway point of the final period. 

Over the final moments, the Aces cut the deficit to 15 points, but a late stretch by the Bearcats saw them finish with the 65-43 victory.  Cincinnati finished the game shooting 45.5% while holding the Aces to 25.9%.  UC also finished with a 41-34 rebounding edge.

“This game gives us something to build on.  We did not shy away, we kept trying to do our stuff,” Lickliter added. 

It will be a quick turnaround for the Aces, who will open the Ford Center schedule on Thursday against IUPUI.
