EVANSVILLE, Ind. – This weekend as the University of Evansville volleyball team plays host to Southern Illinois, the Purple Aces will also welcome back their alumni with two days full of activities.
 
Tomorrow, the team will host a Reunion Social at City Taco at 2403 Washington Avenue in Evansville.  The team members and coaching staff will have a unique opportunity to meet and speak with former alums as well as former head coach Linda Crick.  Crick is a UE Hall of Famer and was the first varsity volleyball coach at UE. 
 
Current head coach Manolo Concepcion and the players will also be speaking at the event.
 
On Saturday, the day begins as the alumni in attendance will view the morning practice as the Aces prepare to face Southern Illinois.  Immediately following the practice session, they will take part in lunch with the Aces.
 
A campus tour will begin at 1 p.m. before alums will have a few hours of downtime to do what they choose before the Purple Aces take on SIU at the Carson Center.  The match begins at 6 p.m.
 
In between the second and third sets in the match versus the Salukis, the alumni in attendance will be recognized on the court.  For more information or if you are an alum looking to attend, contact assistant coach Viera Rajcan at 812-488-2217.
