SAA Book Club Read for October

None of This is True by Lisa Jewell

Lisa Jewell returns with a scintillating new psychological thriller about a woman who finds herself the subject of her own popular true crime podcast. Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins. A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life. Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can’t quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realize that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home. But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat. Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done? (from Goodreads.com)

Dalhousie Golf Club in Cape Girardeau will be the scene of the Saluki Invitational where the University of Evansville women’s golf team will be competing on Monday and Tuesday,

Thirty-six holes comprise the action on Monday with the final 18 holes being played on Tuesday.

Postings scores of 78 in the final round of “The Velvet”, Allison Enchelmayer and Kate Petrova helped the Purple Aces earn a 6th place finish at The Country Club of Paducah in their last event.  Enchelmayer earned the top finish for the Aces, tying for the 11th spot.  Her 78 in the final round gave her a final score of 233.  Petrova finished in 18th place with a 236.  She registered a 76 in the final 18 holes, marking her low round of the event.

Tying for 33rd on the final leaderboard was Jane Grankina.  After carding an 82 in the last round, she finished with a 243.  Magdalena Borisova and Trinity Dubbs were fourth and fifth on the squad, respectively.  Borisova’s 3-round total finished at 251 following a score of 79 on Tuesday.  Dubbs wrapped up the weekend with a 263.

Destynie Sheridan and Carly Frazier completed the tournament as individuals.  Sheridan posted a 251 over the three rounds while Frazier scored a 270.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team ran its unbeaten streak to six-straight matches on Sunday afternoon at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville, as the Purple Aces got a 67th-minute goal from junior midfielder Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati, Ohio/Seton) to secure a 1-1 tie against the visiting Belmont Bruins.

After conceding a penalty-kick goal in the 55th minute following a hand-ball in the penalty area, the Purple Aces responded with a set piece of their own to tie the match at 1-1.  Sophomore defender Kaylee Woosley drilled a free-kick into the box from the right side, and Autenrieb ran on and volleyed the ball inside the right goal post for her first goal of the year.

“It’s tough to give up a penalty-kick goal,” said UE head coach Chris Pfau.  “But, to show character and fight and get that goal back is outstanding.  I told the team after the match that the character they show for each other is miles ahead of where I thought it would be with so many new faces this year, and I am really proud of how this group has battled for each other this year.”

Evansville had multiple chances to take the lead earlier in the match, but Belmont goalkeeper Sarah Doyle forced a miss on a breakaway in the first half and stopped back-to-back chances from 18-yards out at the start of the second half to keep the match scoreless.

Belmont would score first in the 55th minute, as forward Maci Pekmezian found the lower-right corner on a penalty kick to record her fourth goal of the season.  UE would battle back to find the equalizer thanks to Autenrieb, and the two sides would play to the 1-1 draw.

Evansville out-shot Belmont, 12-10, for the match, as the Purple Aces have out-shot the last two Valley opponents.  Both teams recorded five shots on goal, with Doyle and UE goalkeeper Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich./Laingsburg) recording four saves each.  Autenrieb led all players with three shots, including two on target.

With the tie, Evansville ties the Missouri Valley Conference record for ties in a single-season, as the Purple Aces’ record moves to 0-3-8 and 0-0-5 in the MVC.  Belmont’s record moves to 1-6-6 and 0-1-4 in the Valley with the result.  Evansville will return home next Sunday to host UIC (4-6-2, 3-2-0 MVC).  Kick-off is set for 1 p.m. and Sunday’s match can be seen live on ESPN+.

Melanie Feliciano and Giulia Cardona registered 13 kills apiece in a 3-0 road loss at Missouri State on Saturday.

Both Feliciano and Cardona were equally efficient on the defensive side, posting 11 and 13 digs, respectively.  Ainoah Cruz led the way with 17 digs and Kora Ruff picked up another double-double with 32 assists and 13 digs.  Breanah Rives had 12 kills to lead the Bears.

Game 1 – MSU 25, UE 16

Missouri State took control from the start, scoring the first five points before extending the lead to 8-1.  Their lead would reach double figures at 13-3.  Trailing by a 15-6 margin, Evansville worked its way back into the mix.  Consecutive kills from Melanie Feliciano were part of a 7-2 run that saw UE get within four at 17-13.  The Bears fended off the challenge to take the set by a 25-16 final.

Game 2 – MSU 25, UE 22

It was the Purple Aces who had the upper hand in the early moments of game two.  Kora Ruff picked up an ace to help her team go up 3-0.  An error by the Bears doubled the UE lead to six points at 9-3.  At that point, MSU stormed back with an 8-1 rally to take their first advantage at 11-10.

With the Bears up 18-16, the Aces made their run as two more Feliciano kills highlighted a 4-0 run that put UE back on top at 20-18.  It was the home team who would make the final run as the Bears scored four in a row and would go on to win the set and take a 2-0 lead in the match.

Game 3 – SIU 25, UE 12

The lead swapped multiple times in the early portion of the set, leading to a tie score of 8-8.  Three in a row by Missouri State gave them the edge before Evansville made a 3-0 run of its own with Madisyn Steele, Giulia Cardona and Feliciano each picking up a kill.

After the Bears wrestled away a 16-13 advantage, the Aces rebounded to retake an 18-17 advantage.  In a set that went down to the wire, it was Missouri State who made the final run, scoring the final three points to break a 22-22 tie and clinch the match.

UE is back home next weekend to face Northern Iowa and Drake.

The University of Evansville men's soccer team fought to the very last second in a 4-2 loss against the Bowling Green Falcons. 

Defender Nacho Diaz-Caneja scored his first collegiate goal in the Purple Aces' second road Missouri Valley Conference game of the season. Forward Kai Phillip continued his momentous offensive season with his seventh goal of the year and six shots to lead the team. Junior forward Jose Vivas also had a big offensive game with five shots and three on-goal, just shy of a career-high game. 

Bowling Green opened the scoring early with two goals in the first 15 minutes of the match. Most of the first half was in the Falcons' favor, but UE put more shots on goal in the first 45 minutes with five opportunities. The Aces began to find their offensive momentum in the last 15 minutes of the half, forcing two saves from Bowling Green's goalkeeper, including a penalty attempt for midfielder Carlos Barcia in the 27th minute.

Evansville carried its momentum into the second half with an early shot. But the Falcons found the net again with a header goal off a corner kick in the 57th minute. It didn't take long for UE to respond as 50 seconds later Phillip broke the Aces shutout with a header of his own from Diaz-Caneja. The flurry of offense continued as Bowling Green scored its fourth goal in the first second of the 64th minute.

Evansville again found the net themselves in under a minute as Diaz-Caneja scored his first goal as an Ace. Freshman winger Auden Engen Vik also added his first collegiate point with an assist on the score. UE continued to press, outshooting the Falcons seven to four in the final 19 minutes of the match. In the last five minutes, Vivas kicked it into overdrive, putting two shots on goal and outletting a shot to Phillip for another on-target chance. But the Aces couldn't quite crack Bowling Green's goalkeeper again for the 4-2 loss.

UE returns to Arad McCutchan Stadium next week for a mid-afternoon matchup with Western Michigan. The Broncos have only had a loss on the season so far which came on the road. Kick-off from McCutchan Stadium is set for 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 7.

After taking the opening set by a decisive 25-15 final, the University of Evansville volleyball team dropped the final three sets to Southern Illinois in a 3-1 loss on Friday evening.

Giulia Cardona had a match-high 17 kills while Luana Gazda Kuhn set a new career mark with nine kills.  She also posted her top dig total with 10.  Kora Ruff totaled 31 assists while tying AInoah Cruz for the team lead with 11 digs.

Game 1 – UE 25, SIU 15

Things could not have gone better in the opening game as the Aces pulled away for a 10-point win.  With the score tied at 5-5, UE scored six in a row with Cardona picking up two kills and an ace.

Gazda Kuhn recorded a kill that extended the lead to 17-10.  From there, the Aces pulled away to take the set by a score of 25-15.  Evansville wrapped up the frame on a 20-10 run.

Game 2 – SIU 25, UE 17

Things remained close throughout the opening half of the second set.  Gazda Kuhn put Evansville in front by a 7-5 tally while SIU posted four in a row to go up 9-7.  Tied at 10-10, the Salukis scored five in a row to take control.

The Aces would get within three points when a kill from Madisyn Steele made it an 18-15 score, but SIU would fend off the challenge and utilize a 7-2 run to take the set by a 25-17 score.

Game 3 – SIU 25, UE 12

SIU jumped out to a 3-0 lead to open the third set and would never give up the lead.  UE got as close as one point at 5-4 before SIU embarked on a 10-2 run.  They would go on to win the set by a final of 25-12.

Game 4 – SIU 25, UE 22

Looking to force a decisive fifth set, the Purple Aces were in control to open the set.  Melanie Feliciano picked up three kills to set her team up with a 6-1 lead.  Southern Illinois quickly fought back to tie it up at 7-7.  Evansville responded to go back in front at 11-8 and 15-13, but the Salukis answered on both occasions.

With SIU up 19-18, the Aces put forth their most important run of the game.  Two kills by Cardona helped UE retake a 21-19 lead.  Unfortunately, SIU responded once again, scoring six of the final seven points to clinch the match.

UE looks to split the weekend road trip on Saturday with a 4 p.m. match at Missouri State.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will try to remain unbeaten in Missouri Valley Conference play on Sunday afternoon, as the Purple Aces will host the Belmont Bruins at Arad McCutchan Stadium.  Kick-off is set for 1 p.m. and the match can be seen live on ESPN+.

As the calendar changes to October, only three teams are currently unbeaten in Missouri Valley Conference play – preseason favorite Missouri State (2-0-2), reigning regular-season champion Valparaiso (1-0-2) and Evansville (0-0-4).  Evansville pushed its unbeaten streak to five matches in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, as junior forward Ryleigh Anslinger (Evansville, Ind./Memorial) scored in the 86th minute to help the Purple Aces earn a 1-1 draw at Southern Illinois.  UE (0-3-7 overall, 0-0-4 MVC) has played five-straight draws for the first time in program history, and UE’s seven ties overall are tied for the most in program history.

Defensively, Evansville will enter Sunday’s match ranked third in the Valley in goals-against average at 0.90.  The UE goalkeeping corps of senior Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich./Laingsburg), fifth-year Georgia Katsonouri (Paphos, Cyprus) and freshman Elke Travis (Henderson, Nev./Faith Lutheran) have combined to post a .836 save percentage, which entered the weekend ranked 44th nationally.

Belmont will bring a 1-6-5 overall record and 0-1-3 MVC record into Sunday’s contest.  The Bruins are anchored defensively by graduate goalkeeper Sarah Doyle, a third team all-MVC selection a year ago.  Doyle currently ranks fifth in NCAA Division I women’s soccer in total saves with 76, while ranking 11th overall in saves per game at 6.33.  Senior forward Maci Pekmezian leads the Belmont offense with seven total points, as she has accounted for three of Belmont’s six goals on the season.

All-time, Evansville leads the series against Belmont, 7-4-1, including holding a 6-0-1 advantage in matches played in Evansville.  In fact, UE has outscored Belmont by a total of 19-1 in the seven all-time meetings in Evansville.

The University of Evansville cross country teams finished eighth and 13th at the second-largest college cross country meet in the United States on Saturday.

The men's team ran the first race of the afternoon for the Silver 8K at E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park on Saturday. The Aces finished the race in 13th as a team with Top 50 finishes from Lea and Rafael Rodriguez (Segovia, Spain), finishing at 48th with a time of 26:57.5.
