Ace CARE is holding an informational meeting on Thursday, January 12th at 4pm in GH 100 for undergraduate students interested in volunteering! Ace CARE is a student-lead, pro-bono organization that aims to meet the physical therapy and/or wellness needs of the uninsured and vulnerable populations of the Evansville community. It enhances the sense of service and educational experiences of the students involved.

Students that are pre-physical therapy and pre-physician assistant are greatly encouraged to volunteer to gain early experience working with patients and become more familiar with the programs that they will be entering. If you would like to learn more about this amazing organization, please come to the meeting on January 12th!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Megan Fulhorst (mf217@evansville.edu).

Ace CARE is a student-run organization that provides free physical therapy services to the uninsured and underinsured people of the Evansville community. This wonderful program allows students from the physical therapy, physician assistant, athletic training, and health science undergraduate degrees to get hands-on practice with patients while also providing health care to individuals who would not receive it otherwise!

Ace CARE has the amazing ability to provide a vulnerable community with transportation to and from their sessions on campus through the use of a van. There are even one to two physical therapy students riding along throughout the routes to help safely transfer patients into and out of the van. Currently, there is a need for more volunteers to donate their time, and help drive the van on Tuesday nights from 4 - 7:30pm. If you are interested or have any questions, please reach out to Dr. Schwartzkopf-Phifer at ks148@evansville.edu.

Come be a part of an organization that truly is changing lives and making the Evansville community a better place!

Backed by a raucous crowd decked-out in orange, the University of Evansville women's basketball team used timely runs and hot shooting to top Indiana State, 65-54, in an MVC rivalry matchup on Wednesday evening inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.

Four Aces finished in double-figures in the win with fifth-year guard Myia Clark leading the way with 17 points and six assists. Freshman guard Kynidi Mason Striverson tallied 13 points, all in the opening half to give the Aces a halftime lead, while redshirt junior Barbora Tomancova went for a 12-point and 12-board double-double in the victory. Rounding-out the double-digit scorers for the Aces was senior guard/forward Abby Feit, who finished with 11 points and eight rebounds, while joining Mason Strivers for the team lead with three made triples. For the Sycamores, Chelsea Cain powered Indiana State with 18 points on the night.

Indiana State jumped out to an early advantage as the Aces opened the game with trouble with turnovers. After trailing 11-1 in the opening minutes of the game, Evansville battled itself back behind some strong offensive play from Mason Striverson as the Aces trailed 16-10 following the opening quarter.

The second quarter saw a significant shift in momentum with Evansville proving to find its rhythm. Again, Mason Striverson helped provide the boost for Evansville, knocking-down a pair of three in the frame to push UE in front 23-22 with just over three minutes left in the half. What would end up being an 11-1 run to close the half for Evansville, just as Indiana State opened the game, handed the Aces a six-point lead at the break.

Out of the half, Evansville continued its run that began in the second quarter, going on a 9-3 spree in the opening minutes of the third frame and forcing a Sycamore timeout. In all, Evansville's game-altering run ended at 20-4, garnering the Aces a 38-26 lead with 7:14 remaining in the quarter. The Sycamores would claw back into the game, responding with a 9-2 run of their own to close withing five at 40-35. After exchanging baskets for much of the rest of the third, the Aces and Indiana State went into the final 10 minutes separated by just four points at 49-45.

Evansville's lead shrank as low as two on a pair of occasions in the final period, but each time the Aces seemed to have an answer. In what was a game of runs, UE secured its victory with a 9-2 run that was capped-off by a triple from Feit that lifted Evansville back to a nine-point advantage at 61-52 with just over three minutes left in regulation en route to the Aces 65-54 win.

The Aces continue a mini homestand on Sunday against UNI at 1 PM inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville.

Shooting 54.76% in the game and 61.3% in the second half, Bradley University defeated the University of Evansville men’s basketball team on Wednesday evening by a score of 91-46 inside Carver Arena.

Limited to just seven players, the Purple Aces were led by Kenny Strawbridge Jr.’s 13-point game.  Marvin Coleman II added 11.  Yacine Toumi recorded a game-high nine assists.  Six Bradley players reached double figures with Connor Hickman scoring 15 with Rienk Mast recording 14.

Hitting their first three triples of the night, Bradley opened a 9-3 lead.  Gage Bobe took a feed from Marvin Coleman II for Evansville’s first 3-pointer.  Coleman hit an outside shot of his own as the Aces cut the deficit to 11-8 before the Braves took their first double figure lead at 22-11 at the 11-minute mark.

Yacine Toumi scored the ensuing basket to make it a 9-point game before the Braves embarked on a 10-2 run to go up 32-15.  Continuing a 7-for-8 start from 3-point range, Bradley extended its lead with 8:45 left in the half.  With just over a minute to go in the opening period, BU took its largest lead at 46-27 before UE closed to make it a 46-30 contest at the break.  Evansville had a solid shooting half, finishing at 48.0%.  The point differential came from the outside shooting of the Braves, who were 9-of-16.  UE hit four of its 11 outside tries.

After doing most of their scoring from outside in the first 20 minutes, Bradley got their inside game going to start the second half.  Knocking down six of their first nine tries, the Braves made it a 60-31 game.  Evansville missed its first six attempts while turning it over five times.  Kenny Strawbridge Jr. hit the first UE field goal of the period with 13 minutes remaining.

Things continued to go the Braves’ way as the game rounded the homestretch.  Evansville made just one of its first 18 field goals of the half as the Braves outscored UE 41-5 in the first 16 minutes.  Evansville connected on three late field goals to cut into the deficit to make it a 91-46 final.

UE shot 34.8% for the game while being outrebounded by a 40-25 margin.  The Aces will be back home on Saturday for a 3 p.m. game against Valparaiso at the Ford Center.
