Robert Dion, associate professor of political science, was recently interviewed by Brad Byrd during Channel 25's In-Depth segment. Topics discussed included the latest fallout in the presidential race, whether the Republican race could see a brokered convention, and the impact local primaries could have on the nominations. To see the complete interview, go here.
David Green, senior lecturer in British studies at Harlaxton College, has published an article in the Journal of the Church Monuments Society (2015) entitled 'The tomb of Edward the Black Prince (1330-76): Contexts and incongruities'. This explores the exequies and funerary monument of the Black Prince. It explains the choice of materials for the effigy and its unusual location (at Canterbury Cathedral, not the Plantagenet mausoleum at Westminster Abbey). The memorial reflects a range of socio-political and religious trends evident in the later years of the fourteenth century.

Bradley swept the individual and team championships. The Braves finished with 614 strokes in two rounds, topping Loyola by 28 strokes. Danielle Lemek of BU was medalist as her rounds of 71 and 76 put her four shots ahead of teammate Jenna Roadley. Evansville came home in 9th place with a final of 669. They were just two shots behind Illinois-Chicago.
Wil Pahud carded the low round of the day for the squad, notching a 72. He tied for twenty-first with a 149. Will Knights finished the second round with a 75 and tied for thirty-six place while Joseph Addante notched a 76 and finished the event with a 160.
Trailing 3-1 in the top of the sixth inning, Susan Norris belted a 3-run game-tying home run, but Bradley scored a run in the bottom of the seventh to earn a 5-4 win over the University of Evansville Softball team on Sunday afternoon.
For Norris, it was her second home run of the season for the Purple Aces (14-18, 2-7 MVC). Michal Luckett also hit a solo shot in the third. Morgan Florey went the distance in the circle, pitching six 2/3 innings, giving up five runs on eight hits. Bradley (11-18, 6-3 MVC) scored three runs in the second inning and one in the third. After UE tied the game in the sixth, the Braves hit a walk-off single in the seventh as Erika Hansen knocked in the game-winner.
Evansville will be back in action this week when they play three matches in three days. The Aces will play host to Indiana Wesleyan on Friday and then follow that up with away matches against Illinois State on Saturday, and Bradley on Sunday. The Aces next home match will take place on April 16 when they host Drake.
