In front of a packed house of 1,620 fans, the University of Evansville men's soccer team battled to a scoreless draw with Southern Indiana on Saturday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

The match marked the second-straight clean sheet for graduate goalkeeper Alex Vidizzoni, who faced six shots total and two on goal, saving both. Much of the attack came from sophomore Jose Vivas, who tallied a career-high six shots on the night, putting three on frame. On the evening, the Aces out-shot the Screaming Eagles, 15-6.

Evansville's best chance of the opening half came just four minutes into the match as Vivas streaked down the left side and into the box and had his shot just tipped away by Eagles goalkeeper Alec Meissner. USI had a chance to move in front just before the break in the 43rd minute with a shot from Zach Barton that Vidizzoni saved.

The Aces came out of the half as the aggressors, quickly firing three shots inside the first eight minutes of the half. Late in the match, Evansville continued to put the pressure on the Screaming Eagles backline. UE's best chance of the night came in the 85th minute as a ball found the feet of sophomore forward Nacho Diaz, who flicked a ball towards goal that ricocheted off the left post and was knocked in off the chest of Vivas, but the goal was called off as Vivas was offside. Despite the late flurry of shots from Evansville, the defenses won the night in the 0-0 draw.

Evansville returns to action next Saturday, September 17th as the three-match homestand hits its midpoint with the Aces Missouri Valley Conference opener against SIUE at 6 PM at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

The IUPUI women’s soccer team used two goals just minutes apart in the second-half to remain unbeaten on Sunday, as the Jaguars knocked off the visiting University of Evansville Purple Aces, 2-0, at Michael A. Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis.

After the two sides played to a scoreless first-half, IUPUI freshman midfielder Emma Frey put the Jaguars in the lead, 1-0, in the 52nd minute with her second goal of the year off an assist Makenna Collins.  Just two minutes and 25 seconds later, IUPUI senior Maya Lacognato would net her team-leading fourth goal of the season to give the Jaguars a 2-0 cushion.

Evansville fifth-year forward Emily Ormson and sophomore Hailey Autenrieb tried to get UE back into the contest in the 68th and 69th minutes with shots on goal, but IUPUI goalkeeper Ashton Kudlo denied both shots.  UE put four of its seven shots on goal in the match, but Kudlo recorded four saves, as IUPUI posted its fifth-consecutive shutout to move to 4-0-3.  UE sophomore goalkeeper Sophie Lindner recorded a season-high six saves for the Purple Aces.

Sunday’s match concluded the non-conference portion of the schedule for UE, as the Purple Aces closed the non-conference slate with a 1-3-2 record.  Evansville will open Missouri Valley Conference play next Sunday, September 18 at 1 p.m. when the Purple Aces travel to Springfield, Missouri to take on the Missouri State Bears (3-4-1).  Sunday’s UE-Missouri State match can be seen live on ESPN3.

It was a pair of newcomers leading the way for the University of Evansville women’s golf team in the opening two rounds of the Redbird Fall Invitational at Weibring Golf Club on Sunday.

Evansville’s low score of the day belonged to freshman Destynie Sheridan.  After opening the day with a 5-over 77, Sheridan carded an 80 in round two.  Her score of 157 is tied for 51st on the leaderboard.  One behind her was Kate Petrova.  In her first collegiate action, Petrova led the Purple Aces with a 3-over 75 in the first 18 holes before an 83 gave her a score of 158.  Entering the final round, she is tied for 53rd.

Mallory Russell completed the day with a 2-round tally of 160.  She began play with an 83 but rebounded to shoot a 77 in the second 18.  She is tied for 64th.  Fourth on the UE squad was Allison Enchelmayer.  Her consistent day included an 81 in the first round before carding an 82.  Her score finished at 163.

Magdalena Borisova rounded out the scoring.  After completing the first round with an 86, Borisova wrapped up the second 18 holes in 83 strokes.

The team standings feature a close battle at the top with the top five teams separated by nine shots.  Butler leads the way with a 594 with Eastern Kentucky three behind in second.  Loyola and IUPUI are tied for third with scores of 601 while Northern Illinois rounds out the top five with a 603.  UE is in 13th with a 638 and is just one behind Indiana State for 12th. 

Butler’s Reese Wilson and Annaliese Fox of IUPUI are tied for the individual lead.  Both lead the field with scores of 142.

On Monday, the final round of 18 gets underway at 8:30 a.m.

Facing one of the top teams in the nation, the University of Evansville volleyball team dropped a 3-0 contest at #15 Baylor on Saturday evening.  Without two of its top offensive weapons, the Purple Aces gave its younger players valuable experience against some of the top competition in the nation.

Giulia Cardona paced the offense with seven kills while Madisyn Steele finished with six.  Kora Ruff tallied 17 assists while Cardona led UE with four digs.

Set 1- BU 25, UE 12
Hitting .778 in the opening frame, Baylor took a 1-0 lead on the strength of a 25-12 win.  After a Kora Ruff kill made it a 4-3 Baylor lead, the Bears posted the next five tallies to extend the lead to 9-3.  Back-to-back aces helped their lead grow to 13-4 before a Giulia Cardona kill halted the rally.  From there, the Bears would finish strong to take the early nod.

Set 2 – BU 25, UE 10
Madisyn Steele recorded two early kills as UE kept it close in the early moments.  Her second kill cut the UE deficit to 4-3 and that is when the Bears made their run.  Five in a row extended the lead to 9-3.  Baylor continued to keep the pressure on as they extended their lead to finish with a 25-10 decision and pick up a 2-0 advantage.

Set 3 – BU 25, UE 10
Things got off to a very quick start for the Bears, who scooted out to a 7-1 lead.  Cardona and Steele picked up kills that made it an 8-3 game, but the potent Bears attack continued to put it all together, earning a 25-10 to secure the 3-0 sweep.

Evansville travels to East Lansing, Michigan for the Green & White Classic next weekend.  In its final non-conference tournament, the Aces face Chicago State, Oakland and Michigan State before opening the Missouri Valley Conference slate in two weeks.

The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will close out the non-conference portion of its schedule on Sunday afternoon, as the Purple Aces will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana to battle the undefeated IUPUI Jaguars.  Kick-off is set for 3 p.m. central time, and there is no streaming of Sunday’s match.

For Evansville, it will be the third match of a season-long five-match road trip on Sunday.  UE dropped to 1-2-2 on the season on Thursday night, as the Purple Aces dropped a 1-0 decision at Southeast Missouri State.  UE was unable to overcome an early goal by the Redhawks, as the Purple Aces saw a three-match unbeaten streak come to an end.

Defense has been UE’s calling card this year, as the Purple Aces have allowed just six goals through the first five matches.  Only 31.6 percent of UE’s opponents’ shots have even made it on goal, which ranks as the seventh-lowest shot accuracy in NCAA Division I women’s soccer currently.  Reigning Missouri Valley Conference honorable mention all-conference defenders Emilie Hill (Franklin, Ind./Franklin Community HS) and Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario) have anchored UE’s defense this year, as Hill has played every minute so far this year, while Rosborough ranks second on the team in minutes played.

IUPUI will enter Sunday’s match at 3-0-3 on the season after knocking off Murray State, 2-0, on Thursday in Indianapolis.  The Jaguars were predicted to finish seventh in the Horizon League preseason poll, but IUPUI has opened the year with its second-best start in program history.  Sophomore goalkeeper Ashton Kudlo has allowed just two goals this year, while posting a 0.41 goals-against average to anchor the IUPUI defense.  Senior forward Maya Lacognato has scored a team-high three goals in six matches.

Sunday’s match will be the first meeting between UE and IUPUI since 2019, when the Jaguars picked up a 1-0 victory in Evansville.  All-time, IUPUI holds a slim 6-4-1 advantage in the series over UE.

Friday’s opening day at the Baylor Invitational saw the University of Evansville volleyball team square off against Colorado State and Arizona State.  Playing without Alondra Vazquez and Melanie Feliciano, the Purple Aces put up a fight in both contests before falling by finals of 3-0.  UE completes the trip on Saturday with a 7 p.m. contest at #15 Baylor.

Match 1 – Colorado State 3, UE 0
Taking on a strong Colorado State squad, the Purple Aces fell by a 3-0 final to open the Baylor Invitational on Friday morning.  Giulia Cardona led the way with 14 kills while totaling six digs.  Laura Ruiz paced the team with 7 digs and a pair of service aces.  Kora Ruff recorded 24 assists.  Chloe Bongrager and Emilee Scheumann finished with five kills apiece.

Set 1- CSU 25, UE 15
Seven early ties led to a 7-7 score to open the match.  Both teams held early leads, including an ace by Laura Ruiz and a kill from Chloe Bontrager that put UE up 3-2.  The tides would turn when a 6-0 run saw the Rams go up 13-7.

Kills by Kate Tsironis and Bontrager put a stop to the rally, but Colorado State continued to add to its lead, adding the third service ace of the game to extend the lead to 17-9.  From there, CSU would take a 1-0 lead thanks to a 25-15 victory.

Set 2 – CSU 25, UE 21
Giulia Cardona picked up two early kills to give UE a 3-0 lead before two more extended the lead to 6-2.  The Rams chipped away at the lead and would tie the set at 10-10 following back-to-back kills from Annie Sullivan.  Evansville countered with a run of its own, scoring three in a row to retake the lead.  Scheumann and Tsironis had kills to put the Aces back on top.

With UE up 14-11, Colorado State stormed back with five in a row to go up 16-14.  Evansville came back to tie it at 17-17 on a service ace from Laura Ruiz and the teams continued to battle, leading to a 20-20 score.  That is when CSU made its run, recording five of the final six tallies to finish with a 25-21 win and go up 2-0.

Set 3 – CSU 25, UE 13
Looking to complete the opener with a 3-0 win, Colorado State reeled off the first six points before extending the lead to 8-1.  Evansville closed the deficit as few as five points, but the Rams fended off the challenge and picked up game three by a 25-13 final to sweep the match.

Match 2 – Arizona State 3, UE 0
Giulia Cardona and Emilee Scheumann recorded 12 and 8 kills, respectively, but a team hitting percentage of .419 saw Arizona State earn a 3-0 victory in the second contest in Waco.  Maddie Hawkins paced UE with four digs while Kora Ruff tallied 27 helpers.

Set 1 – ASU 25, UE 15
Two quick kills from Cardona saw UE go up 3-1 before the Sun Devils took their first lead of the match at 5-2.  Evansville was able to cut its deficit to just one at 8-7 when Scheumann racked up another kill, but the big ASU run came as they held a 12-9 lead. 

Five in a row pushed the lead to 17-9 and following a UE point, ASU added five more to their total to go up 22-10.  Evansville closed in the final moments, but it was the Sun Devils finishing with the 25-15 nod to take a 1-0 edge.

Set 2 – ASU 25, UE 17
Once again, it was the Aces picking up an early lead, using a Madisyn Steele kill to pace the Sun Devils by a score of 3-1.  After ASU took its first edge at 4-3, Steele picked up her second kill to help UE retake the lead at 7-5.  Arizona State used a 9-4 rally to go up 14-11 before a 6-0 stretch pushed the lead to 20-11.

Cardona added a late kill to cut the ASU advantage to seven points before the Sun Devils were able to complete the set with a 25-17 win.

Set 3 – ASU 25, UE 9
Arizona State utilized a fast start to open a 7-3 lead, however, UE kept it close when a Kora Ruff service ace made it a 2-point game at 9-7.  Up 10-8, the Sun Devils quickly put things out of reach.  After scoring 11 in a row to go up 21-8, ASU clinched he match with a 25-9 victory.
