Aces Welcome Indiana State

 EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Five University of Evansville volleyball players will take the floor for the final time in the regular season as Purple Aces when UE faces Indiana State on Tuesday night at Meeks Family Fieldhouse.

Starting at 6 p.m., Senior Day will recognize Hannah Watkins, Laura Ruiz, Chloe Bontrager, Alondra Vazquez, and Kate Tsironis.  The pivotal home contest has major MVC Championship implications.  The Aces have the chance to finish as high as a fourth place with a win and a Southern Illinois loss on Tuesday.

Giulia Cardona enters the match with a season total of 484 kills.  She is just 10 away from Alondra Vazquez’s single-season program record which was set last season.  Cardona recorded 19 kills on Saturday against Belmont after finishing Friday’s match versus Murray State with 20.

UE won its 10th MVC contest on Saturday to clinch just its second winning season since joining the league in 1994.  In 2000, the Aces went 10-8 in conference play while earning a 3-1 win over Creighton in the opening round of the championship.  A win over the Sycamores would clinch the highest number of MVC wins in a season for UE.
