EVANSVILLE – Before the summer even begins, University of Evansville head women's basketball coach Robyn Scherr-Wells has rounded-out her assistant coaching staff for the upcoming season.
Along with Kara Carlson, Scherr-Wells has announced the retention of Tyra Buss as Assistant Coach and the promotion of Tanaeya BoClair from Director of Basketball Operations to Assistant Coach.
Following her first season in coaching, Buss continues her position with the Aces following a season that saw marked improvement from Evansville's backcourt.
"It was a no-brainer to retain Tyra in the assistant coach role," said Scherr-Wells. "She has a bright basketball mind and will be excellent on the court in developing our guards. It was apparent quickly that she sees player development in a similar way to me and I am confident that our guards will benefit tremendously from her mentorship."
Joining Evansville prior to the 2020-21 campaign, BoClair handled much of the work behind the scenes. Early on during Scherr-Wells' time as head coach, BoClair made an impression.
"As I spent time with Tanaeya, it became apparent to me that she has such a bright future in women's basketball," said Scherr-Wells. "As she has been working double duty filling in as an assistant as well as serving as our Director of Operations during my transition, it became obvious to me that she deserved to be promoted to the assistant coach role. I am excited to watch her excel in her new role and I know she will be a big asset to our program as an assistant coach."
The Aces have shaped their coaching staff and roster in just over a month, adding six talented new players and rounding-out the coaching staff.

Lady Aces Soccer Rout Salem, 8-1
From Coach Ed Berberich:
The Lady Aces Soccer team traveled to Salem for a match Wednesday evening, beating the Lady Wildcats 8-1. Maya Smith scored 2 quick goals in the 3rd & 4th minutes to start the scoring barrage, assisted by Rylie Webb on both, with a key pass each from Flynn Guard, on the 1st goal, & from Makayla Beesley on the 2nd. Smith scored 3 more quick goals in the 14th, 16th & 18th minutes, again assisted by Webb, for a total of 5 goals in the match for Smith. Webb added 2 goals of her own in the 21st & 26th minutes, the 1st on an assist from Flynn Guard & the 2nd assisted by Piper Belt. Kinze Cusick scored the 8th & final goal for the Aces with 8 minutes still remaining in the 1st half. Salem scored their goal in the last minute of play. For the match, the Lady Aces took 24 shots, 17 on frame, & created 12 additional scoring chances. Katelyn Kline & Rilee Riggs combined in goal, with each getting a save. Salem took 3 shots, 2 on frame.
We still need to work on our intensity level a bit, but we were able to jump out to a quick a lead in this one so it wasn't really a factor tonight. Moving forward, we'll want to work on raising that a bit as we'll eventually be facing some teams that won't allow us to get away with not bringing that aggressive mindset from the start. With the quick goals we were able to move the new girls around a lot tonight to get them some experience in new positions, which can be really useful in their development. So far this season, we were hesitant to do that too much since they really needed to get that experience at the positions we were looking for them to mostly be playing, but they're starting to look a little more comfortable with the game so we wanted to throw some new things at them tonight. They responded well to it & it'll only help them long-term, which helps the team as a whole.
The win brings the Lady Aces' record on the season to 4-1 (1-0). They next travel to Metropolis to play Massac County on the morning of Saturday 5/22, followed by a home rematch with Salem, and senior night, on Monday 5/24 at 4:30 pm.

Lady Aces Soccer Improve To 3-1 With Wins Over Olney and Centralia
From Coach Ed Berberich:
The MCHS Lady Aces soccer team recently won 2 matches on the road. They first traveled to Olney, coming away with a hard-fought 4-3 victory, then headed to Centralia to take on the Lady Orphans, winning that match 7-0.
Against Olney, the Lady Aces took a quick lead when Maya Smith scored in the 1st minute on an assist from Rylie Webb. The Lady Tigers tied the game in the 12th minute, & the 1st half ended with the 1-1 score. The Lady Aces retook the lead 9 minutes into the 2nd half on a goal by Webb, but then Olney scored 2 goals in the next 10 minutes to take a 3-2 lead with 20 minutes remaining. Webb drew the Lady Aces even with her 2nd goal in the 62nd minute & then got a hat trick, & the game-winning goal, in the 75th minute, for the final 4-3 score. Katelyn Kline played in goal for the entire game, getting 7 saves.
Olney did a good job of possessing the ball & moving it around the field, forcing us to rely on counter-attacks for scoring opportunities. I was proud of how the girls kept fighting against a team that honestly played better than us. In the past, this is the type of game where we probably would've come up a little short in the end, but we fought through it & with some big individual plays were able to pull out the win.
At Centralia, the Lady Aces dominated from the start, with Webb scoring in the 4th minute on an assist from Smith, with a key pass from Kinze Cusick. Smith would score 2 quick goals, in the 12th & 16th minutes, the 1st one on an assist from Webb with a key pass from Emma Adams, & the 2nd on another assist from Webb. Webb added a goal in the 25th minute on an assist from Piper Belt, & Flynn Guard finished the 1st half scoring with a goal in the 39th minute on an assist from Kinze Cusick, giving the Lady Aces a 5-0 halftime lead. The strong play continued in the 2nd half, with Webb & Smith both scoring goals for a hat trick for each. Webb's goal came on an assist from Guard & Smith's came on an assist from Kinze Cusick. The Lady Aces took 18 shots in the match, 11 on frame, & created 6 additional scoring chances. The Lady Orphans took 3 shots on goal. Kline & Rilee Riggs combined in goal for the shutout, with Kline getting 2 saves & Riggs 1.
The ladies dominated every aspect of this one, creating a lot of shots & only giving up 3. The defense did a good job of keeping the ball in front of them & cleaning up the few instances where the ball did get behind them. McKenna Golden has been doing a great job at center back holding the defense together as our newer players are getting up to speed, & Makayla Beesley has been huge in protecting the front of them at defensive center mid. About the newer players, we can see them starting to get more comfortable out there & they're seeming to gain confidence game by game. They did a good job of beginning to pass out of trouble & starting the attack going the other way, rather than just kicking the ball, and that comes with experience. On offense, it's no secret who's been carrying the load for us, but now we're starting to see the new players get more involved as well. We had several scoring opportunities from girls who haven't been in those situations much before, & we just missed seeing a few 1st-time goals from some of them. We're also starting to see better passing from them as well, as evidenced by some of the assists, key passes & chances created from some of the less experienced players tonight. As they improve, it's only going to help the more experienced players by taking some of the work off of them.
The wins bring the Lady Aces record to 3-1 (1-0) on the season. They next travel to Salem to take on the Lady Wildcats on 5/19.
