Aces wrap up season-opener on Tuesday
Another University of Evansville team was back in action today with the Purple Aces men’s golf squad completing the opening day of the Earl Yestingsmeier Match Play at Lake Jovita Country Club.
Playing a bracketed format, the Aces opened as the #6 seed and took on top seeded Ball State. The Cardinals won the opening round by a 4.5-1.5 margin. Each individual win resulted in a point for the team while a tie saw each team receive 0.5 points. Caleb Wassmer earned UE’s victory on the day, defeating BSU’s Timothy Wiseman. Dallas Koth earned a half point for the Aces, tying Joey Ranieri.
In the second round of the day, the Aces took on #5 seed DePaul where the Blue Demons finished with a 4-2 triumph. Isaac Rohleder picked up a win over Conor Glennon to earn a point for his squad. Wassmer wrapped up his day with a tie while Spencer Wagner also forced a tie to wrap up Evansville’s scoring.
The final round of play is set for Tuesday morning with UE facing the University of Connecticut, who is the fourth seed in the tournament.
