Wheeler Concert Hall

7:30 p.m.

A Chicago native, Melanie Bacaling is currently on the “Stage Directing Staff” at the Metropolitan Opera, and the House Assistant Director at Santa Fe Opera. Most recently her Met productions include Il Trovatore and Aida, and this Spring she will be making her directing debut at Lyric Opera of Chicago with La Boheme. She also has production credits with LA Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Detroit Opera, Des Moines Metro Opera, Opera Omaha, Washington Concert Opera, Aspen Opera Center, and the Sun Valley Music Festival. She holds a Bachelor of Music in Voice and Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Evansville as well as a Masters of Music in Vocal Performance and Pedagogy from the Boston Conservatory.

Our Story: Once the Doors Opened" was produced by 1980 graduate Arnell Hill. Co-narrated by Leirra Carter '24 and directed by black Indianapolis videographer Aaron Turner, "Our Story" is a 45 minute documentary on the history of black students at Evansville College/University of Evansville, from 1934 to the early 2000 era. After the screening, there will be a conversation with the filmmakers and one of the narrators.

Our Story was awarded an IndieFest film award in the summer of 2021; and was featured in the prestigious Heartland International Film Festival in Indianapolis in October 2021.  It was leased to Hoodox within Indiana for viewing as part of their diversity video catalogue.

"Our Story" is just an introduction to the history of black students at UE.  There are many stories to be told.  To include more details on the stories of those mentioned in the documentary.  I only hope that other alumni, and the family of alumni from the past make an effort to follow up and tell those stories, so "Our Story" will only be seen as Chapter 1 in the discussion of the experiences of black students at Evansville College/UE.

Tryouts will happen soon for the Aces United Variety Show, which will take place on April 10! This is a fantastic opportunity for all employees to showcase their talents and be part of a fun, community-building event.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In their annual Pride game, the University of Evansville struggled with the UIC Flames' physical play in a 74-43 loss.

The Purple Aces offense took a half to get going on Thursday night, falling behind UIC early. UE could not find a second-half comeback to challenge the Flames despite sophomore forward Maggie Hartwig (Sauk City, Wis. / Sauk Prairie HS) scoring 11 points in the third quarter. Hartwig led Evansville with 14 points while freshman point guard Avery Kelley (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) continued her double-figure scoring streak in her first career start with 10 points.

Both offensive struggled early as neither scored for the first two and a half minutes. It would be UIC that broke the scoreless spell with the first 11 points of the night. The Aces' first points came over six minutes into the game on a three by freshman guard Logan Luebbers Palmer (Union, Ky. / Randall K. Cooper HS). UE would not score again until the final second as guard Júlia Palomo (La Seu d’Urgell, Spain) made a three-point play at the line for a 15-6 game.

Evansville had a quicker start to the second quarter with four points in the first three minutes. But the Aces only added two points in the final six minutes of the first half for a season-low 12 points. UE headed into halftime down 21 points as the Flames carried a 33-12 lead.

Hartwig came alive in the third quarter for Evansville with eight straight points to begin the second half. The Aces followed up Hartwig’s hot start with three straight triples midway through the quarter to get within 18. UIC responded with a 10-point run keeping the Aces scoreless for almost four minutes. Freshman guard Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind. / Hamilton Heights HS) ended the cold spell with a layup in the final 30 seconds of the third to make it a 57-29 game.

UE began the fourth quarter with back-to-back jumpers. It became a back-and-forth game of small runs that did not change the deficit for Evansville. Neither team made a basket for over the final three minutes of the game as the Aces fell to UIC 74-43.

Hartwig and Kelley were the only two UE players in double figures while Runner led the team on defense with eight rebounds. Palomo had a team high in both assists and steals with three of each.

Evansville continues its homestand with its National Girls and Women in Sports game. On Saturday, February 1 the Aces will host the Valparaiso Beacons for a 5 p.m. tip at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Gabriel Pozzato and Tayshawn Comer set their career scoring marks as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team defeated Murray State by a final score of 78-74 on Wednesday night at the Ford Center.  The victory halted a 5-game skid against the Racers with the last Purple Aces win coming at the Ford Center on Dec. 21, 2019.

Pozzato was 10-of-14 from the field and connected on four triples on the way to his career game.  His 29 points eclipsed his previous high of 28, which came in the season opener at North Texas.  Just behind him was Comer.  He scored 27 points, one better than his 26-point game at Southern Illinois on New Year’s Day.  He was 13-of-14 from the line and finished with six assists.  Tanner Cuff picked up a double-double with 12 points and 12 caroms.

“It was an entertaining game. Definitely a little too close for comfort but to get a win like that in front of the home crowd is very exciting,” UE head coach David Ragland said.  “Our league has done a great job of bringing in schools that are close to each other and that creates rivalries and exciting atmospheres.”

Tayshawn Comer recorded Evansville’s first five points of the game as the Purple Aces hit their first four shots of the game to take a 10-5 lead.  The defense for UE held Murray State to a 2-for-11 start from the field as the offense pushed the lead to ten at the 13:25 mark.  Gabriel Pozzato’s second triple of the night capped the run forcing a MSU time out.

It did not take long for the Racers to regroup.  They quickly scored five in a row before extending the rally to a 17-0 stretch.  Murray State held the Aces scoreless for over 11 minutes as they took over control of the game.  Their defense held UE to ten consecutive missed shots and five turnovers during the rally.  Pozzato’s third triple of the night ended the run as UE closed in the final minutes to make it a 25-20 MSU lead entering the break.

Scoring the first six points of the second half, Evansville retook the lead in the opening two minutes.  Connor Turnbull had a putback during the stretch to help UE regain a 26-25 advantage.  Murray State fought back to tie the game at 34-34 before another 3-pointer by Pozzato with 13:46 remaining put UE back on top at 42-36.  It took just over six minutes for UE to surpass its entire scoring output from the opening period.

The Racers continued to fight back, cutting the gap to a single point as the game entered the final 12 minutes.  UE slowly pushed lead back to five points with seven minutes left, but each time the Aces added to the lead, the Racers came right back to make it a 1-point game.

As the game entered the final two minutes, a Turnbull alley-oop gave Evansville its largest lead of the second half at 67-58.  Just when it looked like UE would pull away for the win, Murray State made one final push.  The Racers chipped away in the final seconds as a triple cut the gap to 72-69 with 34 ticks on the clock.  Two more Comer free throws and a Josh Hughes dunk put the Aces up five inside of the final 10 seconds before another MSU triple got them within two at 76-74.

Comer was fouled with 0.7 remaining and connected on both free throws to put the game on ice and seal the 78-74 triumph.  The Racers were led by JaCobi Wood’s 29 points.

UE shot over 50% for the second game in a row as they finished at 57.4%.  The Aces finished the second half shooting 70.4% with 19 out of 27 field goal tries finding the bottom of the net.  Murray State shot 37.5% on the night.  The Aces are back on the road on Sunday for a 2 p.m. game at Belmont.

The Purple Aces gave up 100 points to its first Missouri Valley Conference opponent over the weekend. UE struggled at the home of the Murray State Racers in the 104-66 loss on Sunday afternoon. A bright spot in Murray for Evansville is that the Aces had their first perfect game from the free throw line this season. UE was 11 from 11 at CFSB Arena for the program's first perfect game at the charity stripe since January 6, 2024, at Drake. Evansville had not had a perfect double-digit free throw game since December 31, 2017, when the Aces made all 15 free throws against Missouri State.

UE begins games this week with the UIC Flames on Thursday evening. Evansville will be hosting its annual Pride Night game with the local LGBTQ+ community inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse. The Aces played the Flames to two close losses in the 2023-24 season and will look to return to a winning streak on Thursday. UIC comes into the River City with a 6-11 overall record and a 3-5 MVC record. The Flames are led by a pair of upperclassmen in senior guard/forward Makiyah Williams and graduate forward Jaida McCloud as Williams averages 11.2 points a game and McCloud averages 8.2 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 23.6 minutes a game.

After a day off UE will host Valparaiso for its National Girls and Women in Sports Day on Saturday night. Local girls from four to 13 years old will participate in a sports clinic before the game and will then watch Evansville take on the Beacons at 5 p.m. Valpo brings a 6-13 overall and 2-6 Valley record to Meeks. The Beacons are looking for their first road win of the season at either Indiana State on Thursday or Saturday's game against the Aces. Valparaiso's leader on the floor is fifth-year guard/forward Leah Earnest as she leads the Beacons in points (16.6), rebounds (7.1), and assists (2.2) per game. 

Sophomore forward Claudia Clement (Barcelona, Spain) had a career game on defense for UE at Murray State. Clement set a career-high against the Racers with 3 steals in 22 minutes on the floor. She also matched a career-high in blocks, stopping 3 of Murray State's field goals on Sunday. Along with a career game for Clement, Evansville had strong individual performances at the Valley leaders over the weekend. For the first time since early non-conference play, the Aces had back-to-back games with at least one player scoring 20+ points. 

Freshman guard Avery Kelley (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) has become one of Evansville's key offensive players in MVC play. Kelley is currently on a five-game double-digit scoring streak while leading the Aces in three-pointers in two games. Prior to conference action, Kelley was averaging 2.4 points a game. Almost midway through the season, Kelley is averaging 10.5 points against Valley opponents. The freshman has also become one of the conference leaders at the line with an 85.7% free throw percentage. Kelley ranks seventh in the MVC and is the highest-ranked freshman.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Senior weekend is up next for the University of Evansville swimming and diving teams as the Purple Aces programs will host a pair of meets at Deaconess Aquatic Center in Evansville on Friday and Saturday.

Friday’s meet will see the Aces take on Eastern Illinois at 1 p.m. before completing the home slate on Saturday with a 12 p.m. contest against Bellarmine.  Doors open 1 hour prior to each meet.
