EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women's basketball team had a lot of memorable moments in the 2014-2015 season.

The Aces then opened Missouri Valley Conference play with a 65-56 road win at Missouri State. The win was the first for the Aces at JQH Arena since 2007 and just the second win ever in Springfield, Mo.
 
After a road loss to the eventual MVC Champions, Wichita State, UE won four Valley games in a row. They limited Loyola to just 38 points in the MVC home opener, topped Bradley by 41, the largest MVC win in program history, and also recorded wins against Illinois State and Southern Illinois on the road.

UE edged #10 Illinois State 55-51 in the opening round game then won again on the next night with an 84-79 win over #2 Drake.
