The Purple Aces come into Wednesday having earned a result against the Western Michigan Broncos on Saturday, Oct. 7. Winger Nkosi Graham scored in the 88th minute to give UE a point in Valley play against a Top 30 team in the nation. The draw result on Saturday, helped Evansville to remain unbeaten against Western Michigan in their series. It was UE’s first match against the Broncos as Missouri Valley Conference opponents and the team’s first since 2009.
Wednesday will be the Aces final non-conference game of the season against a perennial powerhouse. UE heads to Bloomington for a game against the Indiana Hoosiers to continue their multi-decade series. Evansville is looking for its first win against the Hoosiers since the 1990s on Wednesday night. Indiana comes into Wednesday’s match after a big 2-1 win against No. 19 Penn State. Both of the Hoosiers goals were scored by junior forward Samuel Sarver, IU’s offensive leader with six goals on the season. Sarver was named the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts against the Nittany Lions Â
The interim tag has been removed from Head Coach Robbe Tarver’s title as of Monday afternoon. Tarver has been with the Aces program since the 2020 season, first as an Assistant Coach and Associate Head Coach under Marshall Ray, and then as Interim Head Coach since mid-March. Along with handling recruiting duties as an Assistant, Tarver’s impact on the Aces program has been undeniable. Over the past four seasons, Evansville has made back-to-back Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Tournament Championship games, had three players named MVC Freshman of the Year, six All-MVC selections, and four All-West Region honorees.
