UE And USI Men’s Soccer Help Local YMCA

Purple Aces and Screaming Help In Local Community 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – In a true effort to help the local community, the men’s soccer teams from the University of Evansville and the University of Southern Indiana teamed up to donate over $2,000 to the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana.

The Mayor’s Cup match, which featured the Purple Aces and Screaming Eagles taking to the field at Arad McCutchan Stadium on April 18, saw all proceeds directly benefit the YMCA.  ProRehab and Tri-State Orthopaedics also assisted to put on the event.

“Our program is very proud to work with Coach Santoro and USI men’s soccer to help support the YMCA and their outreach programs,” Aces head men’s soccer coach Marshall Ray said.  “A special thanks go out to to Mayor Winnecke for attending the match and all of his and his staff’s efforts to help promote the event.  We look forward to the continued growth of the Mayor’s cup and hope our community with join us again next April.”

Ray, along with USI head coach Mat Santoro, presented a check for $2,163 to the YMCA earlier this week.  The money will help in after school soccer programs throughout the city of Evansville.

Both teams are representing their city in impressive fashion.  UE is coming off of the second-largest turnaround in program history in the fall of 2016 while USI went 13-4-4 and played in the NCAA Division II Tournament.
