Recording a season-high in shots, the University of Evansville men's soccer team showed its attacking ability, but was unable to find the back of the net in a 1-0 loss to Drake on Sunday afternoon in Des Moines, Iowa.

"I feel for our guys today. We did everything we needed to do to get the result and came out on the short side of it," said Aces head men's soccer coach Marshall Ray. "It was an even match, a road match in the Valley. Playing down Ethan (Garvey) and Adam (Dahou) and a few other injuries and they never gave up and battled and fought and created chances at the end. We've got to keep working, that's the answer, and stay consistent and get ready for our match on Saturday against Bradley."

A few new faces dotted the Evansville starting eleven and made a strong impact on its attack. Making his first start as an Ace, Karl Mbouombouo tallied three shots on the afternoon, including one on frame, his first shots in the white and purple. A familiar face at the top of the stat sheet for the Aces, sophomore Pablo Guillen led the team with four shots in the match. In goal, redshirt junior Jacob Madden made six saves, while starting his sixth-straight match.

The first half saw Evansville hold the advantage with its attack, generating more shots in the opening half than it has in any match this season. The Aces recorded 12 total shots in the first 45 minutes, surpassing its previous match high of 10 set against SIUE on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Evansville's defense allowed eight shots with just two coming on frame, both of which Madden saved.

Drake came out of the halftime break and immediately turned-up the heat on its attack, recording a pair of shots on goal in the first six minutes, but Madden again made saves on both. In the 62nd minute, the Bulldogs found their breakthrough, as Declan Watters received a pass from Louis Yuill and scored to give Drake the 1-0 lead. Around the 70th minute, senior Karl Mbouombouo recorded a pair of shots, with one blocked and the other missing high as the Aces looked to equalize the match. As the match entered the final 10 minutes, Evansville again mounted an attack with junior Nkosi Graham having a shot saved and Mbouombouo putting a shot on target that was saved as Drake held on to the 1-0 win.

Evansville returns to Arad McCutchan Stadium on Saturday, October 9 with a matchup against Bradley.

University of Evansville senior Anna Lowry (Taylorville, IL/Taylorville) and sophomore Peter Ekayi Epur (Eldoret, Kenya) paced the Purple Aces’ cross country teams respectively at one of the nation’s largest cross country meets Saturday – the Live In Lou Cross Country Classic at E.P. “Tom Sawyer” State Park in Louisville, Kentucky.
Lowry placed fifth out of 490 female competitors in the women’s 5K Blue Race, while Epur placed 66th out of 532 runners in a personal-best time of 25:57.6 in the men’s 8K Blue Race.  Overall, four UE men and four UE women set personal-best times on the cross country course on Saturday.
“Overall, I am pleased with how we did today,” said UE cross country coach Don Walters.  “They have changed around the course since we were last here, and it made it tougher, but that was for the better, and I thought both teams really stepped up today.  To see all of the PRs set across the board on both teams is good, and it gives us confidence going into a very important month in our season.”
On the women’s side, Lowry posted her best 5K time of the season at 18:24.7 to place fifth overall.  Senior Sam Weldon cut over 30 seconds off of her previous-best 5K time with a mark of 20:05.7 to place 131st overall, while sophomore Tess Crosley also cut nearly 30 seconds off her best 5K time with a mark of 20:55.8.
Freshman Kaitlyn Sansone recorded her best collegiate 5K with a time of 20:57.9 to come in right behind Crosley.  Senior Emma Boebinger rounded out UE’s scoring pack with a time of 21:06.4.  Freshman Ellie Stewart (21:13.4) and sophomore Emma Denbo (23:14.3) finished just seconds off of their season-best 5K times, while freshman Hannah Bryan posted a time of 23:24.1 in her first collegiate 5K.  Freshman Kylee Peck rounded out UE’s contingent on the course with a time of 26:24.7.
On the men’s side, Epur cut over a minute off of his previous-best 8K time at UE, by crossing the finish line at 25:57.6 to place 66th overall.  Freshman Adam Oulgout continued his strong rookie campaign with a season-best time of 27:18.7, while graduate student J.J. Pedersen clocked in at 28:16.5 in the 8K to run third for UE.
Freshman Justin Nichols (29:35.1) and senior Carson Kline (29:44.0) rounded out UE’s scoring pack on the men’s side, with Kline’s time being a season-best mark.  Sophomores Jacob Moffat (30:03.6) and Luke Watts (32:57.0) also checked in with personal-best 8K marks for the Purple Aces.
Marshall sophomore Abby Herring took home individual honors in the women’s 5K with a time of 17:45.7, while Lincoln Memorial freshman Gidion Sigel won the men’s 8K with a mark of 24:03.2
Evansville will take the next week off, before returning to the Angel Mounds Cross Country course on Saturday, October 16 to host the University of Evansville Invitational.

Giulia Cardona had her top Missouri Valley Conference effort, picking up 16 kills on Saturday evening in a 3-1 loss to Valparaiso at the ARC.

Cardona led the way with her final tally while Alondra Vazquez had 14 and Melanie Feliciano added 12 for the Purple Aces (10-4, 0-3 MVC).  Cardona also paced the defense with 17 digs while Vazquez and Taya Haffner finished with 13 and 12, respectively.  Haffner recorded 45 assists.  Madisyn Steele had a strong performance on both ends of the floor with eight kills and four block assists.  Peyton McCarthy led Valpo (12-3, 3-1 MVC) with 18 kills.

Set 1 – Valpo 25, UE 21
Valparaiso opened the contest on a 10-6 run with Madisyn Steele keeping it close with a pair of early kills.  The Beacons continued to hold the advantage, extending the lead to 16-11 on a Bella Ravotto kill.  Evansville rallied back with three in a row, including another kill by Steele to get within a pair before Valpo countered to go up 19-15.  UE rallied once again, storming back with a 6-1 stretch to take a 21-20 lead.  Steele’s fourth kill of the frame tied it at 20-20 before Alondra Vazquez put the Aces in front.  The difference came in the ensuing stretch with the Beacons forcing a pair of errors before Kara Cooper capped off a 5-0 stretch to close out the set by a 25-21 final.

Set 2 – UE 25, Valpo 19
Another strong start by the Beacons saw them open the second game with an 11-6 advantage.  Just as they did in the first set, the Purple Aces rallied back.  Three in a row cut the deficit to a pair before an ace from Taya Haffner tied it up at 13-13.  With the score knotted at 15-15, Evansville score six of the next seven to pull away.  Steele added a kill and block in the stretch while Melanie Feliciano recorded a kill.  Vazquez put the finishing touches on the frame with a pair of kills to wrap up the 25-19 win and tie the match at 1-1.

Set 3 – Valpo 25, UE 23
Looking to build off the momentum from its win in the second frame, Evansville jumped out to a 9-4 lead in the third.  Once again, it was Steele playing a big part, picking up a kill and block.  Valpo stormed back with five in a row to tie it up before the Aces countered with three of their own.  Another Haffner service ace contributed to the rally.  The Beacons did not relent and clawed back to tie it at 19-19.  Four ties led to a 23-23 score before Valpo forced a pair of UE errors to finish with a 25-23 victory to retake a 2-1 lead.

Set 4 – Valpo 25, UE 23
Valparaiso held the advantage through the opening portions of the fourth set, leading to a 14-9 score.  A 6-2 stretch got the Aces right back into it, making it a 16-15 VU lead.  Vazquez added an ace while Feliciano and Giulia Cardona picked up kills.  Evansville was not done there.  Laura Ruiz recorded an ace that put UE on top by a 21-19 tally.  Up 23-22, UE appeared to have score a point that would have given them a 2-point edge, but the call was overturned and the Beacons took full advantage.  Following that play, Valpo picked up the final two points to clinch the match.

UE is back inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse for its next three contests, beginning next weekend with Bradley and Illinois State.

Facing a strong attack, the University of Evansville women's soccer team could not overcome a second half deficit in a 4-1 loss at Indiana State in Terre Haute, Ind. on Sunday afternoon.

Senior Alex Eyler continued her re-emergence in her fourth collegiate season, scoring her first goal of the year in the 71st minute to go along with a team-high four assists in 2021. In goal, fifth-year senior Michaela Till moved closer to the program record for career saves, tallying three in the Aces loss.

In the first half, Evansville owned the slight advantage on shots, recording nine to Indiana State's 8, but it was the Sycamores who capitalized late in the opening 45 minutes. The 38th minute saw Indiana State go in front off a corner as the ball rattled around in a scrum and was clipped in by Celeste Wahlberg.

To open the second half, Indiana State continued their strong attack. In the 52nd minute, the Sycamores tallied their second goal of the afternoon as Mackenzie Kent scored from the top of the 18. Just 10 minutes later, Indiana State added a third with a goal from Chloe Tesny. Evansville would pull one back in the 71st minute, looking to set-up a late comeback. A misplayed ball from the Sycamore backline was tipped by Emily Ormson, who found a sprinting Eyler. Eyler then took just one touch before firing the ball to the right post, slipping it past the keeper to cut the deficit to 3-1. With Evansville making a late run at it, Indiana State secured the win with a goal in the 89th minute by Mackenzie Kent as the Sycamores captured the 4-1 win.

Evansville returns to the pitch on Saturday, October 9th with a trip to take on Illinois State in Bloomington, Ill. at 6 PM.

Alondra Vazquez recorded her 7th double-double of the season, but an efficient offensive performance by Loyola saw them hit .312 on the way to a 3-0 victory over the University of Evansville volleyball team inside Gentile Arena on Friday evening.

Vazquez led UE (10-3, 0-2 MVC) with 15 kills and 10 digs.  Melanie Feliciano added eight kills in the contest.  Taya Haffner recorded 20 assists and six kills while Vazquez and Kate Tsironis finished with one block apiece.  Three Ramblers (10-5, 3-0 MVC) led the way with nine kills with Karlie McNabb, Addie Barnes and Emily Banitt reaching the mark.  Grace Hinchman posted a match-high 13 digs while Jenna Appel led all players with 21 helpers.

Set 1 – Loyola 25, UE 20
A 5-1 spurt to open the match set the tone for Loyola before Melanie Feliciano got her squad back on track with three kills to make it a 7-4 game.  The Ramblers kept the pressure on, extending their lead to 19-11 thanks to an Anna Feldkamp kill.  Following a time out, Evansville regrouped and cut into the deficit.  Cecilia Thon recorded a pair of service aces in a 4-0 stretch that cut the LUC lead to four.  Just as fast as UE made its run, the Ramblers countered with two quick points before finishing with a 25-20 win.

Set 2 – Loyola 25, UE 19
Another early run by Loyola saw them take a 4-1 edge before extending the advantage to as many as seven tallies when an Evansville error made it a 15-8 game.  A tenacious Aces team clawed its way back with Alondra Vazquez taking over the match.  She followed two kills with a pair of service aces to cut the gap to 15-12.  Following a Loyola point, Evansville continued its rally.  Chloe Bontrager picked up her first kill of the evening to commence a 4-0 rally with Vazquez adding a pair of kills before Rachel Basinski capped it off with an ace to get UE within just one at 18-17.  The Ramblers took their second time out at that point and the stoppage paid off as they reeled off the next three points before pulling away to win by a 25-19 final.  Karlie McNabb recorded three consecutive kills to complete the set.

Set 3 – Loyola 25, UE 15
Evansville found itself in another early hole in the third frame, trailing by a 9-2 tally.  Looking for another rally, UE followed a time out with two quick scores to get within five, but the Ramblers answered with a 4-1 stretch to go up 13-5.  An Addie Barnes kill made it a 20-10 contest and Loyola would hold strong to clinch the match on the strength of a 25-15 victory in the final set.

• Till was busy early, but held her ground in the opening half, stopping a pair of shots early in the match. Evansville found the scoreboard in the 32nd minutes off a free kick. Senior Alex Eyler took the free kick just inside the Ramblers half, looping it just into the box. The ball was headed up into the air by a Rambler and then bounced just outside of the box.
