EVANSVILLE, Ind. – AJ Casey and Kaia Berridge set their career scoring marks as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team defeated Illinois State by a final score of 88-80 on Monday at the Ford Center.
 
Casey scored 28 points on 10-of-15 shooting while Berridge registered 14 points connecting on 4 of his 5 outside attempts. Bryce Quinet scored 17 points on the night while Leif Moeller picked up his first collegiate double-double with 16 points and 10 boards.
 
“We were close to putting together a full 40 minutes tonight and played our tails off,” UE head coach David Ragland said following the victory. “Just really proud of our group for being resilient and staying the course. We were short-handed tonight but found a way to win.”
 
Illinois State had the early momentum, connecting on their opening four shot attempts, including three from outside, to take an 11-4 lead in the opening two minutes. Evansville knocked down three of its opening four tries to keep it close at 11-6. Four more by the Redbirds pushed their lead to 15-6.
 
Evansville made its first rally at that point as Alex Hemenway and AJ Casey connected on consecutive triples to get within three. ISU temporarily halted the run with a basket before the Aces continued to storm back. Leif Moeller converted his first triple of the game before Bryce Quinet tied the game with 13:43 remaining with a layup.
 
Casey scored the next seven points for UE to push the lead to 24-19 entering the final 11 minutes of the half. The Aces hit six consecutive baskets during the run. After trailing 15-6, UE outscored ISU by an 18-4 margin to take the lead. Over the final minutes of the half, the Aces added their advantage. With 4:18 on the clock, Evansville completed an 8-0 run to go up 35-22. Kaia Berridge knocked down two triples during the stretch.
 
Moeller’s third 3-pointer of the half gave the Aces their largest lead at 45-29 inside the final minute before ISU’s Landon Moore hit a triple with a second remaining to make it a 45-32 contest at the break. UE shot 63.0% in the first half including 72.7% (8-11) from long range. After opening the game going 4-for-4 from the field, the Redbirds were 7-of-24 for the remainder of the half. Casey led all players with 14 points in the opening 20 minutes.
 
After the Redbirds posted the first basket of the second half, the Aces scored eight in a row to take their largest lead of 19 points at 53-34. Quinet’s first triple of the night capped the run while Alex Hemenway hit three free throws. With 16:07 remaining, ISU cut the deficit to 12 points (53-41) before UE extended the lead back to 19 points (66-47) inside the 12-minute mark.
 
As the second half passed its midway point, another run by Illinois State closed the deficit to 10. Two more triples by Moore made it a 70-60 game with 8:33 left. The Aces held strong as they slowly matched the 19-point lead thanks to a pair of Trent Hundley free throws with 3:57 left.
 
Just when it looked like the Aces would cruise to the easy victory holding an 86-67 lead, the Redbirds staged a furious rally. Hitting four consecutive triples, ISU made It an 86-79 game entering the final 90 seconds. UE was able to regroup and finish with the 88-80 victory.
 
The Aces shot a season-high 56.9% while matching its season mark with 14 made triples. Illinois State shot 49.2% in the contest. Evansville shot 55.7% from outside marking the highest percentage UE shot in a game since hitting 80% of its attempts at Bowling Green in 2017. UE completed the night with a 28-27 rebounding advantage. Next up for UE is a road game at Southern Illinois on Thursday evening.

An estate gift of over $1 million from the late Patrick L. Roberts and the late Christine (Sowinski) Roberts '73 will support scholarship opportunities at the University of Evansville (UE), reflecting the couple's lifelong commitment to service, integrity, and the transformative power of education.

Christine Roberts earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UE in 1973. She later went on to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and built a respected career in Missouri, where she operated a consulting practice that matched hospitals with highly skilled anesthesia providers. Her brother, David Sowinski, described her time at UE as one of the happiest chapters of her life, an experience that affirmed her path and deepened her confidence in serving others through healthcare.

Patrick Roberts owned and operated a CPA firm in Dexter, Missouri, for more than three decades. Known for his precision and professionalism, he was a trusted advisor to individuals and small businesses across the region. Christine occasionally supported his work during busy seasons, and together they built a life grounded in quiet generosity and a shared belief in education as a force for good.

Their decision to include UE in their estate plans ensures that future generations of students will benefit from that belief. Through scholarship support, the Roberts' gift will help ease financial burdens, expand access to life-changing academic experiences, and empower students to make a lasting impact in their communities.

"This scholarship investment from Patrick and Christine Roberts demonstrates the transformative power of philanthropy at the University of Evansville," said Christopher Pietruszkiewicz, President of the University of Evansville. "Their generosity expands access and opportunity, empowering students to fully engage in their education and prepare to live lives of purpose in a changing world."

"This gift reflects remarkable generosity and foresight, and we are sincerely thankful to the Roberts family for their investment in our students," said Abigail Werling M'09, Vice President for University Advancement. "Their scholarship support will have a lasting impact, helping students pursue their education with confidence well into the future."

The University of Evansville (UE) is proud to host the first-ever Evansville Civics Bee, in partnership with the Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (E-REP) and U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, marking the inaugural Civics Bee in Southern Indiana.

This live event, part of the 2026 National Civics Bee, will take place on Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Hyde Hall, Shanklin Theatre.

The National Civics Bee is a nonpartisan, nationwide competition designed to engage middle school students in civics, critical thinking, and community involvement. Students in grades 6-8 are invited to submit a four-paragraph essay proposing a solution to improve their community. Top finalists will advance to a live quiz competition, with prizes including a $5,000 donation to the winning student's school, as well as recognition at the state and national levels. This initiative strengthens civic knowledge while developing writing, public speaking, and problem-solving skills.

"Changing lives and changing the world starts with engaged, informed citizens," said Christopher Pietruszkiewicz, President of the University of Evansville. "By hosting the first-ever Civics Bee in Southern Indiana, we are empowering young learners to recognize the difference they can make in their communities while building the skills and confidence to be engaged, active participants in democracy."

"Hosting the first-ever Civics Bee in Southern Indiana is exactly the kind of unique opportunity that strengthens a region," said Kara Yates, Executive Director of Workforce & Education at E-REP. "When students learn how their communities work, they're more prepared to lead, serve, and improve the place they call home.

"As we approach America's 250th anniversary, we have a powerful opportunity - and responsibility - to reignite civic learning across the country," said Hilary Crow, vice president of civics at the U.S. Chamber Foundation. "Our hope is that the National Civics Bee inspires more schools to prioritize civics education, equipping young people with a deeper understanding of how our government and democracy work - and the essential role they play in strengthening their communities and our nation."
