The Purple Aces are looking for their first road win against the Screaming Eagles
 
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After a tough week on the road, the University of Evansville men’s soccer team looks to get back to it’s winning ways in the state of Indiana.
Evansville returns to Indiana in its weekend match up with crosstown rival Southern Indiana. This will be the Purple Aces first match at Strassweg Field in a Division I contest after the Screaming Eagles transitioned to the highest level of college sports last season. UE has traditionally played USI in the spring as a part of the Mayor’s Cup series when the teams were in separate Divisions. In the new iteration of the Mayor’s Cup, either team is looking for the series advantage as last year’s game ended in a 1-1 draw at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

The Aces looking to bounce back from a tough first stretch on the road in their return to the River City. UE couldn’t find their first road win in contests against High Point or UNC Asheville despite each being a one-goal game. But Evansville was able to welcome back its longest tenured goalkeeper to the pitch this past week. Graduate student Jacob Madden played his first match in over a year in goal after tearing his ACL in the summer of 2022. Madden made five saves in his return to action for Evansville. Along with senior Aidan Montoure the Aces goalkeepers are averaging 5 saves a game, good for 22nd in the country. Montoure leads the two with an average of 4.67 saves.

The Eagles come into Saturday’s match looking for their first win of the season after losses to IUPUI, Mercer, Wisconsin-Green Bay, and Akron. Over the past week USI struggled in a 7-0 defeat at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay but had a much closer game against #9 University of Akron in a 1-0 loss. UE will look to take advantage of the tough week on the road to get their first win against a Division I level Southern Indiana.

Tickets for the Mayor’s Cup can be purchased on site at Strassweg Field for $10 each. Fans that can’t make it to Strassweg will be able to follow along with the game on ESPN+ and Live Stats.

USI Women’s Soccer rewarded with season’s first win on Thursday

0

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer put together another strong performance at home on Thursday night, as the Screaming Eagles were rewarded with a 2-0 victory against Austin Peay State University.

In capturing their first win of the 2023 season, the Screaming Eagles improved to 1-5-1 this season. Austin Peay dropped to 2-4-1 on the campaign.

The match began with a nice pace and flow as both sides battled to control possession. Austin Peay had a few solid attacks into USI’s defensive box, but the Screaming Eagles’ defense halted the Governors.

Midway in the first half after a USI corner kick, Southern Indiana generated a pair of shooting opportunities that Austin Peay turned away. Right before the 28-minute mark, sophomore midfielder Peyton Murphy (Bargersville, Indiana) and freshman forward Pilar Torres (Chula Vista, California) each had shot attempts stopped by the Governors. Torres had three shots in the first 45 minutes.

In the 39th minute, freshman midfielder Grace Bamber (Chesterton, Indiana) and freshman midfielder Kerigan Kivisto (Collierville, Tennessee) connected on a well-executed give-and-go play that Bamber put away into the net for her first career goal. USI took the 1-0 lead into halftime.

After some back-and-forth play to begin the second stanza, Austin Peay looked to tie the match. Just over 10 minutes into the second half, the Governors had back-to-back shot attempts. USI’s defense stepped up to block one while sophomore keeper Anna Markland (Hoover, Alabama) saved the other. In the 74th minute, Markland picked up another save, and the defense blocked another shot on a pair of attempts by Austin Peay.

Southern Indiana doubled its lead to 2-0 in the 81st minute when Torres took a defender one-on-one and finished inside the near post for her second goal of the season. USI maintained control the rest of the way for the win.

USI tallied 11 shots with five on goal, while the Governors totaled five shots with two on target. Besides the goal scored, Torres led Southern Indiana with four shots and two on goal. Senior midfielders Paige Vanek (St. Charles, Missouri) and Avery Schone (Galena, Ohio) also posted a shot on goal. Markland finished with the two saves.

Southern Indiana concludes its homestand with Youth Soccer Day at Strassweg Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. against Northern Illinois University. Sunday’s match can be seen with a subscription to ESPN+.
