FULL MVC RELEASE

ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville freshman midfielder Landon Souder was named the Missouri Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week in an announcement made by the league office Monday afternoon.
 
Souder scored the first two goals of his collegiate career to help lead Evansville to a pair of wins at Kentucky and Loyola.  The Harrodsburg, Ky., native scored his first collegiate goal in a return to his home state, as he found the back of the net in the ninth minute in Tuesday night's 2-1 win over the Wildcats. 
 
Souder followed up Tuesday's performance by scoring in the 37th minute against the Ramblers to tie the match at 1-1, in what would eventually be a 5-2 win for UE.  Souder scored his pair of goals on the only two shots he attempted on the week and has now scored five points during his freshman campaign.
 
Evansville will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m., when it hosts Missouri State in a pivotal MVC match for both squads.  Saturday night's contest will serve as the Aces' annual "Kick for the Cure" event.
