EVANSVILLE, Ind. – After weather forced the Purple Aces to cancel their trip to the first tournament of the season in February, the University of Evansville golf teams will make their spring debuts beginning tomorrow at the Don Benbow Intercollegiate at Jacksonville Beach Golf Club in Jacksonville, Fla.
 
The tournament is set for Monday and Tuesday.  Butler University is the host of the event and results will be available for both teams each night.
