Both University of Evansville soccer teams return to Black Beauty Field Wednesday, beginning with the women's match against Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at 4:00 and concluding with the men's Missouri Valley Conference match against Missouri State at 7:00.

Wednesday's doubleheader is the final opportunity for fans to participate in Kick For Nick, which provides free admission for all fans bringing a new or used soccer ball to the game. The soccer balls are sent to soldiers in Iraq, who give them to Iraqi children. The program is named in honor of Pfc. Nick Madaras, who was killed in action in Iraq two years ago.

Coach Mike Jacobs' men take a 7-4-1 overall record into Wednesday's match against 3-7-3 Missouri State. Both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses on the road to ranked opponents in their MVC openers. Number two ranked Creighton scored a goal in the final 51 seconds Saturday to beat the Aces 3-2, and 24th ranked Drake scored in the last nine minutes to beat the Bears, 3-2. The Aces climbed one spot to 20th this week in NCAA Division I scoring, averaging 2.08 goals per match. Sophomore forward Tom Irvin ranks number three nationally in assists and Mike Luttrull is ninth in points per game. Luttrull has eight goals and four assists for 20 points to lead UE.
