Game three in the University of Evansville women's soccer team's four-match road trip takes place Thursday when the Purple Aces play at 18th ranked Purdue. Kickoff is at 3:00 CDT.

Evansville goes into the match with a 5-9 record. It's been a season of streaks for coach Krista McKendree's squad. After losing five in a row early in the year, the Aces bounced back with three consecutive wins in late September and early October. But since then they've lost three straight to drop into sixth place in the Missouri Valley Conference at 2-3. Purdue is 8-3-3 overall and 3-1-2 in the Big 10, and ranked 18th this week in the NSCAA national poll.

Evansville closes out the road trip Sunday at Murray State, then returns home October 29 for its final regular season match, against Creighton.
