What is Ace Alerts?
Ace Alerts is the University of Evansville's emergency notification alert system. We have partnered with Rave Alerts as a resource to make sure you get emergency notification alerts in a timely manner when they need to be sent out. A test of the Ace Alerts emergency notification system will be conducted in the fall and spring semesters every year.

Ace Alerts is intended for the immediate transmission of specific information regarding an emergency to all affected areas of the University. It may include weather related information, school closing information, temporary unsafe conditions on campus, or other emergency situations requiring the securing or evacuation of the campus facilities.

How does it work?
Emergency information is sent to students, faculty and staff through activation of the Ace Alerts Emergency Notification System. When the ACE Alerts Emergency Notification System is activated, notification information is sent in the following manners: calls to campus IP phones, text messages, emails, campus housing speaker system, Visix digital signage( Campus Televisions), AlertUS desktop on campus owned computers, Ace Alerts Facebook page, www.facebook.com/ace alerts, and Ace Alerts Twitter page, Twitter@AceAlerts.

How can I register for Ace Alerts?
All current employees and students are automatically signed up for an e-mail alert and a text message alert if you have provided your cell phone number to the University. You can verify that you have included your cell phone by logging into Ace Alerts at https://www.getrave.com/login/evansville or going to the AceLink home page and click on the Ace Alerts System link.

If you are not registered with the Ace Alerts system, you can go to the AceLink home page and click on the Ace Alerts System link, or go to https://www.getrave.com/login/evansville and provide the requested information to register.

Starting today, the University of Evansville Volleyball team will look to expand upon a 3-0 start to the season as they head to Cape Girardeau, Missouri, for the Redhawks Invitational.

UE started the tournament today at 10:00 a.m. against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. They will then take on Morgan State at 4:30 p.m.  They complete the weekend on Saturday with a 2:00 p.m. match against Southeast Missouri State.

For the first time since 2011, the Purple Aces stand at 3-0 following a perfect weekend of action at the Leatherneck Invitational. Evansville defeated Chicago State, Manhattan and Western Illinois en route to the tournament championship. Cathy Schreiber was the MVP of the tournament while Cassie Brooks and Rocio Fortuny made the All-Tournament Team. The Aces defense averaged 22.17 digs per set in the tournament and rank second in the nation following the opening weekend.

Schreiber was the MVP of the Leatherneck Invitational as she averaged 2.92 kills per set to lead the Purple Aces to a 3-0 weekend. She opened the year with 14 kills in the win over Chicago State, hitting .393. Schreiber posted another efficient effort in a 3-0 sweep of Manhattan as she notched eight kills in 14 attempts with no errors, hitting .571 in the effort.  In the 5-set win over Western Illinois, she notched 13 kills. Over the weekend, she had a total of 35 kills in 77 tries.  She also had seven total blocks and hit .377.

In her first weekend of college action, Brooks posted one of the top defensive weekends in the MVC. She notched an average of 6.17 digs over 12 sets in the opening weekend of play. Brooks got off to a great start against Chicago State, notching 29 digs along with the first service ace of her career. She followed that up with 18 digs versus the Jaspers in three sets of work before chipping in 27 over five frames in the win over WIU. Her 6.17 digs per set ranks fourth in the league. She was named to the All-Tournament Team for her efforts.

Allana McInnis had a nice start to her freshman campaign in the season-opening Leatherneck Invitational. In 11 sets of work, McInnis posted 9.91 assists per set, ranking fourth in the conference. She came out on fire versus Chicago State, notching 48 assists to go along with seven digs, six block assists and four kills. Another impressive effort was shown against Manhattan. In three frames, McInnis notched 37 helpers, three digs and three more block assists. She wrapped up the weekend with 24 assists and eight digs in the win over Western Illinois.

UE’s top offensive weapon over the weekend was Rachel Tam, who helped in all facets of the game.  Tam led the squad with a total of 41 kills, averaging 3.42 per set. She had at least 10 kills in each match over the weekend. After starting off the year with 10 against Chicago State, she posted 16 versus Manhattan and 15 against Western Illinois.

Arkansas Pine Bluff traveled to Tampa last weekend for the USF Invitational. They went 0-3, but played some of the top competition in the country including LSU, South Florida and Northwestern. They rebounded on Tuesday with a 3-0 win versus Central Baptist College. Kendalle Howard and Kaitlyn Hapke had eight kills apiece in the win.

Playing in the Spartan Demon Deacon Classic hosted by Wake Forest last weekend, Morgan State began its 2017 slate with a 0-3 mark. The Bears fell to host Wake Forest in the opener while also taking on UNC Greensboro and Massachusetts Lowell. Cristen Coryatt led the way with 27 kills in the three matches while Keana Browne recorded 25.

In the weekend finale on Saturday, the Aces face off against Southeast Missouri State. The Redhawks went 1-2 in their opening tournament last weekend in New Orleans. They defeated Alcorn State while dropping decisions against Fordham and New Orleans. Mikayla Kuhlmann had a solid weekend for SEMO, pacing the offense with a total of 30 kills. Nzingha Clarke finished with 21.

The University of Evansville women's soccer team dropped a heartbreaking match to Illinois, 2-1, in the first overtime on Thursday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

"Our girls battled hard for 90 minutes, for sure," said Aces head coach Krista McKendree. "We had a couple bad decisions and credit to Illinois. They battled, they came back, and they capitalized on a couple of our mistakes."

The Aces struck first with just over five minutes remaining in the opening half. Senior JBess Ruby won the ball off a goal kick by Illinois as senior Nicki Baham found it off the header and dribbled to the top of the box and smashed a shot past the keeper to give the Aces a 1-0 lead.

In the second half, the Illini equalized the match in the 55th minute as Illinois' Kelly Maday slipped the ball into the back of the net from 10 yards out.

The final 30 minutes of regulation featured a host of chances for the Aces and Illini, but neither side was able to find the go-ahead goal.

With the game in its first overtime, Illinois capitalized on an opportunity just a minute in. Gabbi Chapa looped a ball into the box from 30 yards out that fell at the feet of Morgan Maroney who finished it into the net for the game-winning goal.
