The University of Evansville women’s soccer team sets its sights on Missouri Valley Conference action as the Aces open league play against Loyola on Friday night at 7 p.m. at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
Last weekend, the Aces wrapped up non-conference play against Saint Louis and Morehead State. To open the weekend, Evansville battled SLU, tying the match at the half, but eventually fell to the Billikens, 3-1. The Aces continued to show resiliency on Sunday against Middle Tennessee as UE battled back from a pair of one-goal deficits, but dropped the match, 3-2, on an overtime goal by the Blue Raiders.

Entering the weekend, Loyola holds a 7-3 overall record and a 1-0 mark in MVC play. The Ramblers are currently on a four-match winning streak in which they have outscored their opponents 17-2. In the all-time series, Loyola holds a 4-1-3 advantage, but the Aces have proven to be a thorn in the side of the Ramblers. In two of the last three meetings, Evansville has earned penalty-kick victories over Loyola to advance in the MVC Tournament.
