* Offense picks-up in second half as Aces defeat Morehead State

A pair of second half goals and a strong defensive effort late helped lead the University of Evansville women's soccer team to a 2-1 win over Morehead State on Sunday afternoon at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Fifth-year forward Emily Ormson scored her second goal of the young season in the match, while senior forward Sophia Rodil registered just the second goal of her career and her first since Oct. 16, 2019. In goal, sophomore Sophie Lindner earned her first collegiate appearance in goal, making one save and recording the win in 90 minutes between the posts.

Much of the early portions of the contest were dominated by possession changing hands in the midfield as both teams combined for five shots in the opening half. Evansville saw its best chance of the opening 45 minutes occur in the 21st minute as Ormson looked to bring the ball down entering the 18 and put a shot just over the bar. Senior Emilie Hill tested Morehead State goalkeeper Michelle Jerantowski in the 33rd minute with a shot that was saved by the Eagle keeper as the match went to the break in a scoreless tie.

The increase in intensity was clear early in the second half with both sides cranking up the aggressiveness. Morehead State saw the urgency pay off in the 59th minute as a ball near the end line was slipped across the face of goal by Hadley Cytron and Nicole Fiantaco found it, slotting it home to put the Eagles in front, 1-0. It would not take long though for Evansville to equal the match up with Ormson finding the ball at her feet in the 62nd minute. Ormson dribbled across the top of the 18, stopping just past the halfway point and spinning a shot towards goal that snuck in the far post.

Evansville appeared to be sparked by the equalizer, getting on the front foot and attacking Morehead State. In the 68th minute, freshman Chrysta Vasquez received a ball from senior Monique Landrum and made a run down the right side, whipping in a cross into the box that Rodil squared up and headed into the back of the net to put Evansville in front.

The 76th minute presented Lindner's biggest test of the final 20 minutes with a shot from Chelsea Elmore, but the Austrian keeper made the save to help preserve the Aces 2-1 win.

Evansville is back in action on Thursday with its first road trip of the season to face SIUE at 7 PM in Edwardsville, Ill.

* Diaz scores twice as Aces capture 3-1 victory over IUPUI

Sophomore Nacho Diaz continued his hot start to his collegiate career, scoring twice as the University of Evansville men's soccer team glided past IUPUI, 3-1, on Sunday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

After scoring his first collegiate goal on Thursday night's 2-2 draw at Bellarmine, Diaz added two more to his season tally against the Jaguars. Senior midfielder and fellow Spaniard Carlos Barcia scored his first of the season in the 16th as all five goals this season have been scored by student-athletes from Spain. In goal, graduate keeper Alex Vidizzoni made four saves, allowing just one goal in his first win with the Aces.

Evansville's attack did not take long to get revved-up with the Aces recording a pair of shots inside the match's first eight minutes. In the 16th minute, UE opened the scoring as senior Nkosi Graham stole the ball from a defender and quickly sent a skimming ball across the face of goal to Barcia, who slotted it past the keeper to give Evansville the early 1-0 lead. 10 minutes later, sophomore Jose Vivas whipped a corner into the box that Diaz headed into the upper 90 to double Evansville's advantage.

The Aces delivered their third and final goal of the opening 45 minutes off of the boot of Diaz in spectacular fashion. With a free kick from 25-plus yards out, Diaz stuck the ball and looped it over the wall, going for goal and finding it in the 43rd minute for his second of the night.

It was nearly four for Evansville when Diaz again met a cross and sent it across the box to redshirt freshman Porter Pomykal whose header went off the post and deflected out. IUPUI pulled one back in the 53rd minute with a header that popped over Vidizzoni's head and snuck in the side to cut UE's advantage to 3-1. Evansville out-shot the Jaguars, 16-9, in the match with a nine-to-five advantage on shots on-goal as the Aces captured the 3-1 home win over IUPUI.

Evansville goes back on the road for its next two contests, heading to Dayton, Ohio to face Incarnate Word on Friday and host Dayton on Sunday afternoon.

* Volleyball completes opening day matches

In a pair of hard-fought matches on Friday, the University of Evansville volleyball team dropped a pair of matches to Wright State and Marshall in the opening day of the Marshall Invitational at the Cam Henderson Center.  A rematch against the Thundering Herd completes the opening weekend on Saturday at 5PM CT.

Match 1: Wright State 3, UE 1
Alondra Vazquez recorded a match-high 21 kills but a strong .266 effort by Wright State saw them finish with a 3-1 win in Friday’s opener.  Giulia Cardona registered 13 kills while Melanie Feliciano added nine.  Feliciano added 14 digs while freshman Kora Ruff debuted with 45 assists and 10 digs. 

Set 1 – UE 25, WSU 23
Wright State jumped out to a 3-0 lead to open the match before Evansville made its way back.  The first kill of the day from Madisyn Steele tied the game up at 5-5 before Giulia Cardona followed with an ace to give UE its first advantage at 6-5.  The Raiders wrestled away an 11-9 lead but the Purple Aces countered as an ace from Laura Ruiz helped the team retake a 14-13 lead.

Alondra Vazquez recorded back-to-back kills to lift the Evansville lead to a game-high four points at 20-16 and the lead remained at four when a WSU error cemented a 24-20 edge for the Aces.  Wright State made a final push, scoring three in a row, but a big time out by UE head coach Fernando Morales helped his team to regain its edge before the 8th Vazquez kill of the frame finished the 25-23 win.

Set 2 – WSU 25, UE 14
Just as they did in the first set, Wright State scored the opening three tallies, but this time, they did not allow UE to get closer than two points before pulling away for a 25-14 win.  Vazquez and Feliciano each recorded kills to make it a 5-3 deficit but the Raiders kept the pressure on.  Up 7-5, Wright State took control on the strength of a 7-1 run that gave them a 14-6 edge. 

Their lead reached as many as 12 points (23-11) before they capped off the set to tie the match.

Set 3 – WSU 26, UE 24
Melanie Feliciano picked up an early kill to give Evansville a 2-1 lead before the Raiders fought back.  Scoring seven of the next nine points, WSU jumped out to an 8-4 lead.  UE clawed its way back and was able to tie the frame at 15-15 on a Cardona ace before the sophomore recorded a kill that put her team in front at 17-16.

Evansville’s rally continued as Vazquez took things over.  Three consecutive kills by the 5th year player resulted in a 20-17 Aces advantage.  Just when it looked like UE was in control, the Raiders countered with a 6-0 stretch to go back in front – 23-20.  The Aces never relented and fought their way all the way back to tie it up at 24-24 with Vazquez and Cardona each adding a kill.  Wright State quickly regrouped and clinched the set with an ace.

Set 4 – WSU 25, UE 16
An early run saw the Raiders jump out to a 10-3 lead and they would hold strong to clinch the match with a 25-16 win in game four.  Their early run led to a 20-6 lead, which would prove to be too large to overcome.

Match 2: Marshall 3, UE 2
Leading the UE offense once again was Alondra Vazquez, who recorded 26 kills in a 5-set loss to the Thundering Herd.  Melanie Feliciano recorded 12 kills in the contest.  Blakeley Freeman led the defense with 17 assists while Kora Ruff added 42 assists.

Set 1 – MU 25, UE 22
Laura Ruiz gave UE its first lead of the match with a service ace that made it a 4-3 game.  After Marshall knotted the score at 9-9, Evansville came back with a 5-1 stretch to take its largest lead at 14-10.  Alondra Vazquez, Melanie Feliciano and Kate Tsironis each contributed a kill.

Later in the set, the UE lead stood strong at 21-18 before a furious rally by the Thundering Herd gave them the opening-set win.  Scoring seven of the final eight points, MU took the set by a 25-22 final.

Set 2 – UE 25, MU 19
UE opened the second set on a 3-0 stretch before relinquishing a 6-5 lead to the Herd.  After MU extended its lead to 9-6, Evansville stormed back, scoring seven of the next eight tallies to jump out to a 13-10 edge.  Steele and Feliciano added kills that pushed the edge to a game-high of six points (20-14). That 6-point deficit would remain strong with UE knotting the match on the strength of the 25-19 decision.

Set 3 – MU 25, UE 19
Out of the gate, it was the Thundering Herd taking a 9-4 advantage and pulling away from there.  Trailing by a 24-15 tally, UE reeled off four in a row to close the gap with Marshall clinching the set, 25-19.

Set 4 – UE 25, MU 20
With the game knotted at 5-5, Evansville rallied to score four in a row with Feliciano picking up two kills and Vazquez adding an ace to make it a 9-5 game.  Marshall fought back to get within one at 11-10 before UE countered with a 10-2 stretch to go up 21-12.  Freeman and Feliciano each posted aces to extend the lead.

Evansville held a 24-14 lead and fended off a late rally to force a fifth game with a 25-20 win.

Set 5 – MU 15, UE 9
Another early hole proved to be the dagger as Marshall clinched the match with a 15-9 decision in game five.  MU opened with four points in a row before going up 8-2.  Evansville got as close as five points in the late stages before coming up short.
