EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women’s soccer team looks to continue their best start since 2021 and win their third game in a row on Thursday, as they travel to Clarksville, Tenn. to take on Austin Peay. Kick-off is set for 6 PM.
Last Time Out
Fresh off their first win over a Power-4 opponent since 2008, the UE women’s soccer team continued to roll on Sunday afternoon, scoring three first half goals to down visiting SIUE at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
Evansville’s first half onslaught marked the first time the Aces have scored three goals in a half in four years and the first time they have scored three times in the first half in nine years. Taylor Wehrer (Las Vegas, Nev./Desert Oasis) opened the scoring in the 11th minute with her third goal of the season, while Kathryn Tyler (Dallas, Texas/Liberty Christian) and Lily Kytasaari (Platte City, Mo./Platte County) scored the first goals of their careers in the 22nd and 34th minutes, respectively.
The UE defense held the Cougars scoreless, marking the Aces’ first shutout of the year. Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) posted a clean sheet in her first career start, making two saves.
Series History
Thursday marks the 11th all-time meeting between Evansville and Austin Peay. UE holds the advantage in the series with a 5-3-2 record. The Aces and Governors last played in 2022 to a 1-1 draw.

Robbery Investigation Leads to Two Arrests on Evansville’s East Side
Officers were dispatched to the area of 600 N Green River Rd (Plato’s Closet) at just after 7:00 pm on
9/2/2025 for a holdup in progress. Officers were informed that a black male was attempting to rob the store
while armed with a gun. Additional information stated the male fired one shot inside the store before fleeing. As
officers arrived, they received additional calls that the same subject had robbed the nearby Chuck E. Cheese.
The male subject also fired a shot inside the business.
Responding officers located a male subject matching the description nearby, but he fled from officers on
foot to a nearby apartment. Officers surrounded the apartment until one of the occupants, Dwon Collins, exited.
When asked who the male subject who fled was, Collins stated he did not know. A short time later the suspect,
identified as Raquavion Cooper, came outside and was taken into custody.
Through the investigation, it was determined Cooper was the suspect in both robberies. A firearm was
located and seized near the scene.
Dwon Collins was charged with Assisting a Criminal after it was learned that he lived at the apartment
with Cooper. Raquavion Cooper was charged with Robbery, Criminal Recklessness, Pointing a Loaded Firearm
and Resisting law enforcement
