WATERLOO, Iowa – Despite outshooting the University of Northern Iowa (5-5-3, 1-1-0) by a 16-5 margin, the University of Evansville women's soccer team (2-8-2, 0-1-1) was defeated 1-0 on the road on Saturday afternoon. The lone score was an 82^nd minute goal from UNI. The Purple Aces are back at home on Saturday, Oct. 10 to host the Drake Bulldogs.

"We are disappointed with the result today," said UE head women's soccer coach Krista McKendree. "We have to find ways to convert our chances. Yet again, we played good soccer but don't come away with a result."

Evansville started fast with four shots in the first 10 minutes. A third minute shot from junior midfielder Bronwyn Boswell was saved, attempts in the 5^th and 7^th minutes from senior forward Kayla Smith went wide and Smith's 10^th minute shot was also turned away.

The Panthers then rallied back with two shots over the next 10 minutes, but both were saved by Purple Aces senior goalkeeper Simone Busby. Those were the only two saves by Busby in the match. Even though there were 12 shots in the first half (nine by UE), neither team was able to score in the opening stanza.

The Aces almost went ahead in the 55^th minute but a shot from freshman forward Sara Osinski caromed off the post. Osinski's shot in the 64^th and Boswell's attempt in the 69^th minute were also saved by UNI goalkeeper Whitney Blunt.

UNI broke the scoreless tie on an 82^nd minute goal from freshman forward Brynell Yount, that proved to be the game winner.

Smith led all players with five shots (one on goal). Boswell and Osinski each recorded three shots (two on goal) as Busby tallied two saves. Senior midfielder Caitie Dierkes received a yellow card in the 56^th minute; it was the first yellow or red card for UE this season.

The Oct. 10 match with Drake will be Senior Day for UE. The contest will be held at Arad McCutchan Stadium and begin at 6:00 p.m. CDT.
