EVANSVILLE, Ind. - In its third-straight match against an opponent with one or less losses, the University of Evansville men's soccer team travels to Macon, Ga. for a matchup with Mercer on Sunday.

Due to expected inclement weather as a result of Hurricane Florence, the Purple Aces and Bears contest has been moved up to 11 a.m. (CT).

Evansville is coming off a road loss at Northern Kentucky, 3-0, on Tuesday. After a competitive first 23 minutes of action, the Norse opened the scoring with a goal in the 24th minute.

In the 50th minute, NKU pushed its lead to two before adding a third goal inside the final 10 minutes of the match.
