CEDAR FALLS, Iowa – The University of Evansville women’s basketball team had a close first half but fell behind in the second half in a 71-54 loss to the Northern Iowa Panthers.

For the third straight game sophomore forward Maggie Hartwig (Sauk City, Wis. / Sauk Prairie HS) led the Purple Aces on the floor with a double-double. Hartwig was UE’s most efficient scorer at 54.5% from field goal range while also grabbing 10 boards against Northern Iowa. Evansville had two other players score in double figures while the Panthers had five players with similar outings.

It took over a minute for either team to score on Thursday night as both turned over their first possessions of the game. But it was UNI who struck first with four points. Senior guard Júlia Palomo (La Seu d’Urgell, Spain) struck back with a second-chance jumper to get the Aces on the board. The Panthers had two brief four-point runs before UE had two made threes in a minute and a half to make it a four-point game. Northern Iowa had another short run, almost putting Evansville behind by double digits. But Palomo came through again, getting to the line for two free throws to keep the game at a seven-point deficit after a quarter.

The teams traded shots to begin the second quarter of action. The Panthers began to pull away with their longest run of the half, leading the Aces by 13. UE answered with eight points in just under a minute and a half thanks to back-to-back threes from Palomo and Hartwig. But Evansville couldn’t keep the offense going as UNI again made it a 13-point game. The Aces were able to get their deficit back into single digits with a five-point run in the final minute of the first half. UE headed into the locker room at the McLeod Center only down by eight with the score at 35-27.

It'd be a tough start to the second half for Evansville as the Panthers came out of the locker room on a 13-2 run. It’d be freshman guard Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind. / Hamilton Heights HS) who broke the Aces scoring drought with four straight points. Runner and Hartwig were the only UE players who scored past the first minute of the third quarter as they each had six points. Evansville went into the final 10 minutes of the game trailing 61-41.

The Aces kept UNI scoreless for the first three and a half minutes of the fourth quarter. In that time UE added three points to its total, all of which came at the free throw line. The teams traded baskets through the middle of the quarter. Evansville had its final run of the game in the last two and a half minutes with six points. But the Aces would fall to the Panthers 71-54 on Thursday night.

A trio of UE players had double-digit performances as Hartwig had 17, Runner had 13, and Palomo was right behind her with 12. Palomo led the team with four steals while freshman guard Avery Kelley (Evansville, Ind. / Memorial HS) had a team-high five assists to match her career-high.

Evansville returns home for a game this weekend against the Indiana State Sycamores. The Aces will tip-off with their in-state rivals at 5 p.m. on Saturday, March 1.

WAUKEE, Iowa – Day two of the Missouri Valley Conference Championships is complete for the University of Evansville women’s swimming and diving teams.

Thursday morning saw the Purple Aces compete in three preliminary events.  Luana Carrotta led the way in the 500-free, finishing with a time of 5:19.88.  Hannah Krings and Lilly Yancey rounded out the top three.  Their times finished at 5:25.66 and 5:34.24, respectively.

Sveva Brugnoli led the squad in the 200-IM.  She came in 21st place with her time of 2:07.11.  Following her was Mari Mueller, who finished in 2:09.08.

Rebecca Lago was the top finisher for UE in the 50-free.  She swam a time of 24.24 to pace the team.  Evelyn Chin finished the race in 24.60 while Ane Madina posted a 24.62.

Maddie Rollett competed in the 1-meter dive.  She recorded a 227.75 in the prelims before improving to a 243.50 to finish 12th in the final.

In the 400-medley relay finals, the Aces came in 8th place with a time of 3:52.06.  Madina, Mueller, Chin, and Brugnoli competed for UE to earn the top ten finish.

The Aces return to Columbia for the first time in almost 40 years this weekend. UE has not faced the Missouri Tigers since the mid-1980s when they played two games in 1986. The four games from Friday to Sunday will be Evansville's first time playing in Taylor Stadium as the Tigers current home opened in the year 2000. 

UE continues its week-long tour in SEC country with the series against Mizzou. Evansville began the week at Kentucky on Tuesday with a 24-3 loss. The Aces will then spend three days in Columbia for this weekend's series. UE then ends its time at SEC ballparks at #14 Vanderbilt on Tuesday, March 4.

Evansville began its longest road trip since 2022 on Tuesday. The Aces play 19 straight games away from the River City, returning to Charles H. Braun Stadium on March 25. Part of the reason for the long road trip is that the groundbreaking to begin construction on the Freeland Clubhouse happened on Monday. 

The Aces will look to take control of the series against Missouri over the weekend. The Tigers lead 2-1 as they took the first and last meeting between the two teams. UE's win on March 27, 1986, in Columbia was by a run in the 7-6 victory. Mizzou comes into this weekend with an even 4-4 record as the offense begins to heat up. The Tigers have 31 hits in their last two games for their best two-game offensive stretch since the 2019 season. Missouri is currently being led by freshman outfielder Brady Picarelli over its offensive hot stretch with seven hits, three home runs, and six RBIs. 

UE struggled in its midweek match up with Kentucky, as half of Evansville's roster saw the field. UE used eight pitchers in seven innings while on offense, two players accounted for Evansville's four hits as senior center fielder Ty Rumsey (Evansville, Ind. / North HS) and freshman shortstop Drew McConnell (Blue Springs, Mo. / Blue Springs HS) had two each in the 24-3 loss. In two games McConnell has been an offensive powerhouse for the Aces going 4-for-6 with two multi-base hits and five RBIs.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Tayshawn Comer scored 20 points and Tanner Cuff added 14 to lead the University of Evansville men’s basketball team in Wednesday’s home finale which saw the Purple Aces fall to Drake by a final score of 65-61 at the Ford Center.

Comer played all 40 minutes and was 7-for-14 from the field.  Cuff was 5-of-8 from the floor on his way to the 14-point game.  Both had three assists.  Gabriel Pozzato finished with 9 points, 6 boards, and 4 assists.

“I am proud of our guys for how we responded and gave ourselves a chance to win it,” Evansville head coach David Ragland said after the game.  “Unfortunately, we did not get the win, but we showed a lot of character and that we can play with anyone in the league.”

Connor Turnbull got UE on the board before Drake scored nine in a row to take the early lead.  Tayshawn Comer ended the stretch before Turnbull registered the next five points to tie the game at 9-9 just over eight minutes into the game.

Three minutes later, the Purple Aces retook a 13-12 lead when Josh Hughes drained a pair of free throws.  Over the course of the first half, the teams swapped the lead 11 times.  Inside the 5-minute mark, Gabriel Pozzato hit a basket that put Evansville on top at 23-22.  The Bulldogs countered with an 8-0 rally to go up by seven.

Two more tallies from Comer along with a basket by Hughes cut the deficit to five (32-27) with just under a minute left until the break.  Drake had a quick response over the final seconds, scoring the last five points including a 3-pointer at the buzzer to take a 38-27 lead into halftime.

Out of the break, the Aces knocked down their first four shots while scoring the first ten points to get within one.  Josh Hughes, Michael Day, Tanner Cuff, and Pozzato each posted baskets during the rally.  On the other end, the Bulldogs got on track with a 6-0 spurt that put them back up by seven – 44-37 – with just under 14 minutes left in the contest.

UE had a response once again, tying the game at 46-46 when Cuff hit a layup with 10:22 on the clock.  Less than a minute later, his 3-pointer gave UE a 49-48 lead.  Drake answered with five in a row to go back up by four.  With the Bulldogs up five at the entering the final three minutes, Evansville clawed its way back within a point with 1:21 left as Cuff converted another free throw.

Drake knocked down its late free throws to seal the win.  Daniel Abreu paced the Bulldogs with 19 points while Tavion Banks had 15.  Evansville finished with the 46.8%-40.7% shooting advantage while edging the Bulldogs on the glass by a 31-30 total.

Sunday’s regular season finale will see the Aces travel to Illinois State for a 2 p.m. game in Normal, Ill.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After winning three out of four games last weekend, the University of Evansville softball team travels to Bowling Green, Ky. for this weekend’s Hilltopper Spring Fling.

Over the course of the weekend, the Purple Aces will have two games against both Kentucky and Tennessee Tech while facing Western Kentucky in one contest.

Taylor Howe enters the weekend as the reigning Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week.  In four games between Thursday and Sunday of last week, Howe batted .455 while hitting a home run in each contest.  She also slugged an impressive 1.636 over that span.

UE completed its second home tournament on Monday, winning contests against Western Michigan and UT Martin.  Jenna Donohoo and Niki Bode each batted .667 in the 4-game tournament with each recording six hits in nine at-bats.  Bode scored four runs while Donohoo added three.

Morgan Adams had the top power numbers for the Aces, belting four homers while adding six RBI.  She finished the weekend batting .500.  Pitchers Elle Jarrett and Gracie Hollingsworth had a nice weekend in the circle, both finishing the weekend with a sub-2.00 ERA.

As a team, the Aces have hit a combined total of 23 home runs this season.  That is nearly double the total of any other school in the MVC with UNI and Southern Illinois tied for second with 12.  UE also leads the league in runs (85), RBI (79), and total bases (193).
