In the first half of the game at the University of San Diego, the Cougar's offense was the star, with Jambga assisting Ebbesen with one crossing pass and then sending a second to Hull, who was one-on-one with a charging keeper. In the second half, the SIUE defense seemed to be playing with the USD offense, as if daring them to try to score by repeatedly taking the ball away and giving it right back for the Toreros to make another attempt. When the defenders were not blocking or stealing, Dal Santo made five saves, and the Cougars got the 2–0 win.

Fifteen minutes later, another throw-in was headed a couple of times before Duncan sent it to Bilyeu at the top of the box, who fired a blazing shot past the keeper to give the Cougars the margin of victory. The defense limited Evansville to only one shot on goal, as Dal Santo recorded his seventh shutout.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
With their record at 8–3–1. the Cougars were gaining national recognition. SIUE received votes in the NSCAA national coaches poll for the second week in  row, and were ranked 6th in the NSCAA West Region poll which includes the 25 teams of the Missouri Valley Conference, the Summit League, and the Western Athletic Conference. In the College Soccer News  Top 30 National Poll for the week ending October 18, 2015, the Cougars were ranked #25.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
The Cougars went to Des Moines to face surprising MVC co-leader Drake. The tenacious Bulldogs offense pulled out all the stops in the first half, outshooting SIUE 7–1, including six shots on goal and with Edel getting one past Dal Santo in the 24th minute to give Drake a 1–0 lead that they took into halftime. In the second half, the Cougars' offense moved to the fore, outshooting the Bulldogs 10–6 for the half. In the 55th minute, Bilyeu fired a cross through the box, and Danzy headed it in for his 3rd goal of the season.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
In the 71st minute, Wypych headed Edel's crossing pass in to put Drake back in the lead. Less than 2+1⁄2 minutes later, a Danzy shot  was saved, but the keeper could not corral the ball, and Danzy tapped the rebound into the net to again tie the score. In the first overtime period, the Bulldogs offense again rose up, outshooting SIUE 4–1, but the Cougars defense met the challenge to maintain the tie. Nearly halfway through the second extra period, Awad took possession and passed to Bilyeu.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
Bilyeu passed ahead to Gutierrez, who loosed a screamer from 35 yards out that went just past the diving Drake keeper to give SIUE the golden goal victory. Although Drake scored two goals, Dal Santo tied his career high with eight saves, while his teammates added three more. With their fifth consecutive win, the Cougars tied Drake for second in the MVC standings, with conference leader Bradley next up on the schedule.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
Jabari Danzy's two goals versus Drake earned him a second  Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week honor. He also was the second Cougar player in three weeks to be named a member of the  College Soccer News National Team of the Week.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
On Halloween, the Cougars faced the conference leader for the second week in row, making the journey up the road to meet Bradley in Peoria. The Braves took an early lead when their first shot of the game was what the official scorer termed a "...rocket side volley..." from just inside the box by Garcia that beat Dal Santo. Five minutes later, for SIUE's first shot, Garcia's high school teammate Lane took a pass from Hull and fired a crossing pass that Scheipeter buried to tie the game.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
The Cougars missed an opportunity to take the lead before halftime; after a foul in the box, Bradley's keeper guessed right and dove right for a save of Ledbetter's penalty kick. Once again SIUE was dominant on both ends of the field, outshooting the Braves and tying their season high with seventeen shots while holding Bradley to six, with only one shot on goal. The Cougars pulled out another late comeback after a BU foul with less than 5+1⁄2 minutes remaining. Gutierrez took the free kick near the end line, a crossing pass that Danzy headed into the goal for the winner of SIUE's sixth straight victory.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
SIUE closed out the non-conference schedule by hosting Eastern Illinois on a Tuesday night in a game that was nowhere near as close as the Cougars' winning 2–0 score. In the 9th minute, Gutierrez took control of the ball near the end, lofted a pass toward the post, and Awad headed it in to open the scoring. In the 41st minute, Kendall-Moullin was open in the box and waving for the ball; when an EIU player laid him out on the turf, he was awarded a penalty kick and put the Cougars up 2–0.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
The remainder of the game was dominated by SIUE's stingy defense, allowing only three high and wild shots in the game. The referee seemed unwilling to slow down the game by calling fouls. No call was made when Duncan was dumped while head-on with the Panthers' keeper, but when Danzy was pulled down in the 64th minute, the Cougars were awarded a second penalty kick. Eastern's Novotny, one of the NCAA saves leaders, out-guessed Kendall-Moullin on his second PK attempt and made the save to maintain the two-goal margin. Meanwhile, Dal Santo faced no shots on goal in recording his eighth shutout as the SIUE win streak stretched to 7 games.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
On Senior Night, the regular season closer featured two of the top defensive teams and two of the top goalkeepers in the NCAA, with the Cougars (#16 Team Goals Against Average) and Kyle Dal Santo (#8 GGA)  facing the Loyola Ramblers (#2 Team GGA) and Tim Dobrowolski (#5 GGA). As expected, defense was dominant in the first half, with the Cougars allowing only three shots and being limited to two, and both keepers making only a single save apiece en route to a 0–0 halftime.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
In the second half, SIUE stepped up their offense, outshooting the Ramblers 11–3, but both keepers maintained clean sheets. The Cougars were called for a foul in the box in the 86th minute, setting up a Loyola penalty kick and a chance for them to take the lead, but Dal Santo dove left and blocked the shot, setting up the golden goal overtime. In the 94th minute, Danzy took control of a long clearance shot near midfield. He broke toward the goal on the right, with Jambga paralleling down the middle. As the defenders closed on Danzy in the box, he passed to Jambga, who tapped in the goal, winning the game and the outright 2015 MVC regular season championship.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Season
After the Cougars won their first MVC regular season championship, Devyn Jambga was named the Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the second time, and Kyle Dal Santo was named the Missouri Valley Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

The 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament was hosted by the Cougars on November 11, 13 & 15 at SIUE's Ralph Korte Stadium. The 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship would begin during the following week.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Postseason
The Cougars first match of the MVC Championships was a rematch of last Saturday's MVC finale versus Loyola. As in the first meeting, the game was an epic struggle between the two top defenses in the Valley. In the first half, the Cougars' offense outshot the Ramblers 8–2, while in the second half, Loyola's offense came to the fore, leading 6 shots to 3. Both goalkeepers and their defenders, among the best in the NCAA, kept clean sheets through regulation time.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Postseason
SIUE seemed to gain an advantage when Loyola went a man down due to a red card in the 86th minute, but the Ramblers continued to force the action, and the Cougars were unable to formulate an effective offensive plan. As in the teams' first meeting, the game went into golden goal extra time tied 0–0, and, after two ten-minute overtimes, the tie still stood, leaving the result to a penalty shoot-out. Both teams made their first three shots count, then both missed the fourth with high shots.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Postseason
Loyola's fifth shot was up to the MVC Player of the Year, who also missed high. The Cougars' team captain Ledbetter then fired a shot right down the middle, past the Loyola keeper to give the Cougars the win and set them up to defend their tournament championship in the Sunday title game.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Postseason
In the MVC final, the Cougars were pitted against the 3rd seeded Drake Bulldogs, who had already won two tournament games. SIUE came out hard, dominating possession during the first half and outshooting DU 9 to 1, but the Bulldogs' defense held firm for a 0–0 halftime score. The second half was more evenly played, but Drake was a bit more effective.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team, Postseason
When the Cougars failed to clear a ball in the 77th minute, Dal Santo made a last instant save that set up a Drake corner kick; the kick bounced around in the six yard box before SIUE finally seemed to clear it, but it went straight toward Drake freshman reserve Ciszweski, who blasted a return shot through the crowd in front of the net that Dal Santo barely saw and had no chance of stopping. The Cougars then intensified their effort after falling behind, but as in the semis, seemed unable to put together an effective attack. In the end, Drake earned its first MVC Tournament title since 2009, and SIUE would have to wait to find out if their record was good enough to get an at-large bid to return to the NCAA Tournament.

At the conclusion of the conference tournament, defenders Justin Bilyeu and Austin Ledbetter and goalkeeper Kyle Dal Santo were named to the 2015 MVC Men's Soccer All-Tournament Team.

The Cougars, led by twenty-seventh year head coach Sandy Montgomery, played their home games at Cougar Field on the SIUE campus  as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC).


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Preseason
Eleven players returned from the 2013 squad that finished with a 30–23 overall record (19–5 in the OVC) and advanced to the NCAA Tournament after winning the OVC championship.

2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Preseason
The Cougars were picked by the coaches and sports information directors of the Ohio Valley Conference to finish first in the conference.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
The 2015 season cast the Cougars in the role of road warriors, with only 17 home games on their 55-game regular-season schedule.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
The schedule opened with tournaments in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida and included 36 schools from 14 states and the District of Columbia. Although the early season schedule was not as grueling as 2014's, the Cougars faced four other teams that were in the 2014 NCAA Tournament, including two that were ranked in the preseason Top 25.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
The Cougars opened the season traveling to three weekend tournaments in the South. They started by winning the Lady Techster Invitational at Louisiana Tech with a 4–1 record. The following weekend, they went 3–1 and finished second to the 10th-ranked Bulldogs at their Georgia Softball Classic. The third weekend took them to Auburn, Alabama for the Wilson/DeMarini Classic and another second-place finish behind the 16th-ranked host Auburn Tigers with a 3–2 record.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
Following a week off, the team went to Florida during break for five games at the USF Series - Under Armour Showcase and a pair of games in Fort Myers. After sweeping the games at Clearwater, the Cougars ran their win streak to seven games before falling at FGCU and finishing the pre-conference schedule with a record of 16–5. At this point, the first NCAA Rating Percentage Index (RPI) was issued, with the Cougars earning the number 32 ranking of the 295 Division I teams.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
On March 20, Haley Chambers struck out 20 Morehead State batters en route to the second perfect game of her Cougar career. She became the first Cougar pitcher to toss two perfect games. It was the sixth SIUE perfect game and the program's 32nd no-hitter. The game was also her fourth no-hitter. Only current Cougar coach Sandy Montgomery has thrown more no-hit games, with six during her Cougar playing career, 1982–85. As a result, the junior not only was named the OVC Pitcher of the Week (her fourth of five awards for the season), but she was also named the Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division I National Pitcher of the Week.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
On April 16, Cougar pitcher Baylee Douglass was named as one of the twenty-five finalists for the NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year Award. At the time, she had a 13–4 record with a 1.97 earned run average (ERA). She was also nationally ranked in several statistical categories: 12th in saves (4), 38th in walks allowed/seven innings (1.40), 61st in ERA (1.97), 61st in hits allowed/seven innings (5.41), and 73rd in strikeouts/seven innings (7.6). Douglass was the only OVC player to be named a finalist.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season
The Cougars clinched their first OVC regular season championship with a 7–2 win in the first game of the season's final series at Eastern Illinois on May 2. However, losses in five of their last ten games dropped the Cougars' RPI to number 50, essentially making it a near necessity that they win the OVC tournament, since the chance of an at-large bid was then problematic.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Regular season, Honors
The Ohio Valley Conference Awards were announced at a banquet prior to the start of the league tournament. The Cougars team accepted the 2015 OVC Softball Regular Season Championship trophy. Haley Chambers was named OVC Pitcher of the Year and a member of the All-OVC First Team. Rebecca Gray was also named to the All-OVC First Team.

2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
As the visiting team on their own field (determined by coin flip), the Cougars again fell behind in the first inning of the second game, with an error allowing Tennessee Tech (the only OVC squad  they had not defeated) to take a 2–0 lead. The host team got one run back in the third, but gave up single runs in the fifth and sixth innings. Haley Chambers struck out nine, but allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits, while TTU pitcher Danielle Liberatore struck out 10, allowing only one run on six hits. The Cougars moved to the loser's bracket to face Eastern Illinois.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
Again the visitors at home, the Cougars wasted no time in taking the lead on Eastern Illinois, getting four runs on three hits in the top of the first. They added three runs in the second, two in the third, and their tenth run in the fourth. Eastern managed to get on the board with a two-run homer in the fifth, but that was all, and the game ended at 10–2 in five innings with EIU eliminated from the tournament.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
The Cougars move on to play the winner of the Jacksonville State–Eastern Kentucky game, which was scheduled to be the last game of the day. A five-hour rain delay after the Cougars win would have moved the last game to a start time of around 9:39 PM, but the other two games both ran long, putting the start time after 10:PM, so the SIUE–Jacksonville State game was rescheduled for 10:00 AM on Saturday. For SIUE or JSU to win the tournament, either team would need to win three games on Saturday and one on Sunday.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
In the first of a possible three Saturday games, the top-seeded Cougars went up on the second-seeded Jacksonville State Gamecocks 1–0 in the first. They added a second run in the third, then scored five in the fifth while Haley Chambers did not allow a hit until the fifth. Alex McDavid's fourth RBI of the game ran the score to 8–0 in the bottom of the sixth, ending the game on the mercy rule and advancing the Cougars to play the final elimination game against Murray State for the right to play Tennessee Tech in the Championship game(s).


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
After another long rain delay, SIUE and Murray State played in a rare pitchers' duel in this high-scoring OVC tournament. Murray got on the board first with a single run in the third on a double, a wild pitch, and a sacrifice fly. The Cougars were held scoreless by CheyAnne Gaskey on only two hits through five innings before getting two runs on two hits and a Racers error in the top of the sixth to take the lead. Haley Chambers went 42⁄3 before giving way to Baylee Douglass, who got the win after 21⁄3 hitless innings. The Cougars earned a 45-minute break before again facing Tennessee Tech in the championship round.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
In the championship, Baylee Douglass threw three hitless innings before giving up a homer, a walk, and a second homer to open the fourth, giving Tennessee Tech a 3–0 lead. Danielle Liberatore once more seemingly owned the Cougars, allowing only four hits until there were two out in the seventh, when the Cougars finally found their offense. Three singles cut the lead to one run with the tying and winning runs on base before Liberatore threw her ninth strikeout to win the game and the tournament for the Golden Eagles.


2015 SIU Edwardsville Cougars softball team, Postseason
Cougar shortstop Alex McDavid, pitcher/designated player Haley Chambers, and second baseman Allison Smiley were named to the OVC All-Tournament Team.

2015 SO2
2015 SO2 (also written 2015 SO2) is an Aten asteroid that is a temporary horseshoe companion to the Earth, the ninth known Earth horseshoe librator. Prior to its most recent close encounter with our planet (2015 September 30) it was an Apollo asteroid.


2015 SO2, Discovery
2015 SO2 was discovered on 21 September 2015 by B. Mikuž observing with the 0.6-m f/3.3 Cichocki telescope at the Črni Vrh Observatory in Slovenia. As of 30 November 2015, it has been observed 84 times with an observation arc of 9 days.


2015 SO2, Orbit and orbital evolution
2015 SO2 is currently an Aten asteroid (Earth-crossing but with a period less than a year).

His left-rear tire got cut down after contact with Alex Bowman in turn 3. The race restarted on lap 17 with Logano still leading the field.

The race restarted on lap 27 when Matt Kenseth, trapped on the outside line, nearly spun out in turn 3 trying to go underneath Jeff Gordon. The third caution flew on lap 54 when J. J. Yeley hit the wall in turn 1, after contact with Denny Hamlin caused his left-front tire to deflate. A. J. Allmendinger dropped to the tail end of the field for speeding on pit road as did Aric Almirola. The race restarted on lap 61. In a classic Martinsville accordion effect, Brett Moffitt crashed into the rear of Chase Elliott. Moffitt was forced to pit to remove the hood of his car, that was flapping. This brought out the fourth caution of the race. Elliott did not pit instantaneously, but took his car to the garage. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. gave up fifth place to pit under the caution.

The race restarted on lap 82. The fifth caution flew on lap 94 when Alex Kennedy spun out in turn 4 after making contact with Matt DiBenedetto. Earnhardt, Jr. came onto pit road before it was open apparently to fix something inside his car; he radioed to his team that he "lost the gear shifter". Martin Truex, Jr. stayed out to take the lead with Danica Patrick and Landon Cassill doing likewise, while Mike Bliss dropped to the tail end for speeding on pit road.


2015 STP 500, Race, First-half, Second quarter mark
The race restarted on lap 101. The field was log-jammed by Cassill and Patrick until Patrick got bumped by Cassill. This allowed Logano to get under Cassill and send him and Patrick backwards down the field. He caught Truex, Jr. and passed him with ease to retake the lead on lap 121. By lap 128, Logano caught the tail end of the field to start the lapping process. Kevin Harvick jumped underneath Logano to take the lead on lap 135. Hamlin got under Harvick in turn 1 to retake the lead on lap 149.


2015 STP 500, Race, First-half, Second quarter mark
Around lap 150, Allmendinger's engine began smoking and there were reports that he was putting down oil on the track, but it ultimately turned out to be a left-front tire rub. Jimmie Johnson – an eight-time Martinsville winner – went a lap down on lap 161. This was compounded by the sixth caution on lap 163, which came out when Stenhouse, Jr. spun in turn 4; so Casey Mears got the free pass as the first car a lap down, just ahead of Johnson.


2015 STP 500, Race, First-half, Second quarter mark
Hamlin and Harvick swapped the lead on pit road and Harvick exited with the lead. Hamlin was forced to drop to the tail end of the field along with Allmendinger for an uncontrolled tire on pit road. Other pit penalties were levied to Kasey Kahne, who dropped to the rear for speeding, and Earnhardt, who dropped to the rear for having too many men over the wall. The race restarted on lap 172 and Brad Keselowski got the best restart to take the lead on lap 173. Eventually, Harvick powered by on the inside to take back the lead before losing it to his teammate Kurt Busch on lap 176.

2015 STP 500, Race, First-half, Second quarter mark
The race restarted on lap 225. The tenth caution of the race flew on lap 228 for a multi-car wreck in turn 1; it began with an accordion effect of Menard slowing down to avoid hitting someone, only for Earnhardt, Jr. to rear-end him. Allgaier, Mears, David Ragan, and Cole Whitt were also caught in the incident. Drivers slowed down to try to avoid the initial contact between Ragan and Mears, but were unable to do so and the wreck followed. Earnhardt stated that he was unsure "why they stopped down there in the corner" and that he "knocked the radiator out" of his car.


2015 STP 500, Race, Second-half, Halfway
The race restarted on lap 239 and as Kahne was on old tires, he was no match for Harvick's newer rubber as he took the lead on lap 240. The eleventh caution flew on lap 269 when Allgaier hit the wall. Carl Edwards took the lead under caution, ahead of the restart on lap 285. Harvick took the lead back just before the twelfth caution flew for a multi-car wreck in turn 3, which began when Busch turned into Regan Smith, caving in his car's nose. Annett cut down through the patch of grass after being bumped in the rear by Trevor Bayne and got into Ryan Newman.


2015 STP 500, Race, Second-half, Halfway

2015 STP 500, Race, Second-half, Halfway
With his pit stall being behind the start/finish line, Harvick swapped the lead with Kenseth on pit road, but Harvick returned to the track in the lead for the restart on lap 364. The fourteenth caution of the race flew on lap 367 when Menard got loose entering turn 3, and got turned around by Logano in turn 4. His spin delayed Almirola, Bayne, and Greg Biffle.


2015 STP 500, Race, Second-half, Fourth quarter
The race restarted with 127 laps to go. Busch changed lanes before the start/finish line and was ordered to serve a pass-through penalty. His crew chief Tony Gibson requested a review of the call and the penalty was rescinded. This was due to the fact that Busch was supposed to be lined up on the inside for the restart. Hamlin took back the lead with 101 laps to go. The fifteenth caution flew with 69 laps to go when Edwards spun out in turn 4 after a right-rear puncture.


2015 STP 500, Race, Second-half, Fourth quarter
