EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Due to a scheduling error, Indiana University has been forced to cancel the September 4 match against the University of Evansville inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse in Evansville, Ind.
 
"We are disappointed with how this transpired, but we understand that mistakes do happen," UE Director of Athletics Mark Spencer said.  "I have communicated with the IU administration and coaching staff and hope to foster this relationship over future seasons."
 
IU's contest at UE would have resulted in them having one contest over the NCAA maximum number of allowed competition dates.  The error was recently realized by IU university administrators and the cancellation of the match was the only available remedy at this time.  With the timing of the announcement, Evansville will be unable to replace the match on their 2018 schedule.
 
The programs hope to continue their relationship in the near future. 
 
Evansville is set to open the season next weekend in Macomb, Ill. at the Leatherneck Invitational.  The home opener will pit the Purple Aces against Southeast Missouri State on Tuesday, August 28 inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse.
