EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team will honor an eight-member senior class at Arad McCutchan Stadium on Sunday, celebrating Senior Day against Middle Tennessee. The Purple Aces being recognized include Kaylee Woosley (Evansville, Ind./Evansville North), Kathryn Tyler (Dallas, Texas/Liberty Christian), Amy Velazquez (Avon, Ind./Avon), Chrysta Vasquez (Las Vegas, Nev./Coronado), Ella McAndrew (Greendale, Ind./Lawrenceburg), Joelle Haines (Raleigh, N.C./IMG Academy), Paige Radel (Metamora, Ohio/Evergreen), and Isa Valdez (Phoenix, Ariz./Desert Vista). Kick-off is set for 4 PM.
Last Time Out
Evansville earned their third consecutive shutout on Thursday night, running their unbeaten streak to four with a 0-0 draw at UT Martin.
Purple Aces keeper Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) continued to impress, matching her career-high with four saves to become the first Evansville goalkeeper to record three shutouts in a row since Chaviel Harrison in 2011. Since entering in the second half against Purdue, Lammers has not allowed a goal over 315 minutes of action.
Evansville threatened in the first ten minutes of play, with Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind./Reitz) and Ashlyn Koutsos (Cumming, Ga./West Forsyth) putting shots on goal. Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) also contributed a shot on goal in the first half, but the match remained scoreless heading into the halftime intermission.
Following a save by Lammers in the 55th minute, the Aces saw perhaps their best scoring chance of the night in the 59th minute off a corner, but Taylor Wehrer’s (Las Vegas, Nev./Desert Oasis) shot from just in front of the goal was saved by UT Martin keeper Mac Titus.
Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont) added a shot on goal in the 75th minute, followed quickly by a shot on goal by Olivia Mills (London, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School), but Titus held the Aces at bay with a pair of saves.
Lammers kept her clean sheet intact in the final five minutes of the night with a save in the 86th minute to help the Aces leave with a result.
