We are very pleased to announce that Dr. Douglas Tallamy will be presenting on October 1, 2022, 6:00 p.m. in Eykamp Hall, Ridgway University center.

Join New York Times Best Seller author Dr. Douglas Tallamy to learn how the small actions we take as individuals can make a big environmental impact. Sponsored by the Warrick and Vanderburgh County Soil and Water Conservation Districts and the Southwest Chapter of Indiana Native Plant Society in collaboration with the University of Evansville's People for Pollinators ChangeLab and the Environmental Concerns Organization (ECO).

Doug Tallamy is Professor of Agriculture and Natural Resources for the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. His first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In his second book, Nature's Best Hope, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. In his latest book, The Nature of Oaks, he is turning his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom—oak trees.

This is a free event that is open to the public. Space is limited and registration is required. Register online at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dr-doug-tallamy-presentation-tickets-398905155057.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will wrap up a season-long five-match road trip on Thursday night, as the Purple Aces will travel north to Terre Haute to battle in-state rival Indiana State.  Kick-off is set for 6:05 p.m. central and Thursday’s game can be seen live on ESPN+.

Originally, UE’s road trip was scheduled to be a four-game trip, but due to heavy rains cancelling the September 4 home match against Northern Kentucky, the Purple Aces have been away for five matches.  The road trip ranks as the second-longest regular-season road trip in program history, with the longest being a seven-match trip in 1997.

Evansville will be looking to end the road swing on a high note, as UE has dropped the last three contests, after a road trip-opening tie at SIUE on September 1.  UE suffered a tough 1-0 loss at Missouri State on Sunday to open Missouri Valley Conference play, as the Bears scored a tough-angle goal in the 79th minute to break a scoreless tie. 

Fifth-year forward Emily Ormson leads the UE offense so far this year with two goals.  Meanwhile, junior Myia Danek has posted a team-best 1.25 goals-against average while splitting time this year with sophomore Sophie Lindner (1.33 goals-against average).  Overall, UE is 1-4-2 and 0-1 in the MVC this year.

Indiana State, meanwhile, is 0-5-2 overall and 0-0-1 in Valley play after tying Belmont, 0-0, last Friday.  Three different Sycamores have scored a goal each for ISU, while freshman Adelaide Wolfe has anchored the Sycamore defense this year, as she has played a full 90 minutes in each of the last six matches in defense, while earning MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors on Tuesday.

All-time, Evansville leads the series over Indiana State, 14-10-3.  Last season, Evansville dropped a regular-season meeting in Terre Haute in early October, but bounced back to earn a 1-1 tie at ISU in the 2021 MVC Tournament, with the Purple Aces advancing 5-3 on penalty kicks.

Up at the break, the University of Evansville men's soccer team saw three goals find the back of the net for 19th-ranked Xavier in a 3-1 loss to the Musketeers on Tuesday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Sophomore forward Nacho Diaz added to his season account, scoring his seventh goal of the year on a penalty kick in the 12th minute. The Spaniard also led the Aces in shots, recording three of Evansville's four attempts on the night. In goal, graduate goalkeeper Alex Vidizzoni was unlucky in his sixth start of the season for Evansville. While Xavier scored three goals, one was scored on a deflection, another an own goal, and the final by an unmarked man on a corner kick. Vidizzoni set a new season mark, making nine saves between the posts.

After a ball into the box ricocheted off the hand of a Xavier defender, Evansville was awarded a PK, which Diaz took and calmly finished past the keeper to give the Aces a 1-0 advantage in the opening half. Evansville's defense was able to stave off an aggressive Musketeers attack with Vidizzoni making seven first half saves to keep Xavier off the scoreboard at the break.

Xavier found its breakthrough in the 49th minute as a shot from 25 yards out bounced into the box and deflected off the foot of Makel Rasheed and into goal to equal the match at one. In the 73rd minute, Xavier took the lead after a cross into the box was deflected off an Ace into the back of the net. Finally, Xavier scored its third on a corner in the 87th minute as Rasheed knocked home his second of the night in the Musketeer's 3-1 win.

Evansville goes on the road this weekend to continue MVC competition with a trip to take on 17th-ranked Missouri State on Saturday at 7 PM in Springfield, Mo.

Tying for the 5th-lowest team score of the day, the University of Evansville men’s golf team earned a 10th place finish at the Valpo Fall Invitational at Sand Creek Country Club on Tuesday.

Evansville’s lowest round of the day belonged to Luke Schneider.  A 1-under 71 gave him a 223 for the 3-round event.  He tied for the 22nd position.  Taking second on the team was Nicholas Gushrowski.  His 75 in the third round set his final score at 227, which was good for a 32nd-place tie.  One spot behind him was Daniil Romashkin.  Posting his low round of the event in the final 18, Romashkin carded a 74.  His score checked in at 228.

Michael Ikejiani was next for the Purple Aces.  He posted his low round of the weekend on Tuesday, finishing with a 76.  Ikejiani lowered his score in each round of the tournament to finish with a 236.  Henry Kiel was three strokes behind Ikejiani.  His 83 in the final round gave him a 239.  Playing as an individual, Carson Parker finished with scores of 77-76-77 to tally a 230.  He tied for 50th.  Mason Taylor had his best round of the year, scoring a 75 on Tuesday to finish with a 239.

Valparaiso clinched the team and individual championships.  A 278 in the final 18 gave the Beacons the lowest team round of the entire tournament while seeing them finish with an 848.  They finished 34 strokes in front of Loyola.  Anthony Delisanti of the Beacons defeated teammate Caleb VanArragon by one shot to earn medalist.  Rounds of 70-69-69 saw him post a 208.

UE wrapped up its three rounds with a 909 to jump into the top ten.  Their final score of 909 came in two shots in front of IUPUI.  The Aces continue their fall season on October 10 with a trip to Jonesboro, Arkansas for the Bubba Barnett Intercollegiate.
