Aces play Sunday and Monday
 The fall season for the Purple Aces women’s golf team commences on Sunday with the University of Evansville taking part in the Redbird Invitational in Normal, Ill.
Set for Sunday and Monday, the Aces play a total of 54 holes with 36 in day one and 18 more in the final day. Weibring Golf Club is the host course and features a par of 72 and yardage of 6,002.
Joining UE in the tournament are host Illinois State, Akron, Western Illinois, Ohio, Ball State, Bowling Green, UNI, Bradley, Butler, Northern Illinois, Drake, Eastern Kentucky, Illinois Wesleyan and Loyola.
Evansville brings a balanced team into the 2018-19 campaign with three returning players and three newcomers. Leading the returners is sophomore Sophia Rohleder. The Evansville native recorded an 80.69 average as a freshman and found her groove in the spring of 2018, finishing at 79.33. She posted a pair of 12th place efforts in March.
Behind her was Madison Chaney. Chaney completed the year with an 81.42 average, but also had a great spring, finishing at 79.40 with an impressive finish of 9th at the Lonnie Barton Invitational. Lexie Sollman is back for her junior season; her best finish last year was a 20th at the Alabama State Spring Kickoff.
Set to make their debuts for UE are Sydney Anderson, Alyssa McMinn and Caitlin O’Donnell.
