Harris' goal powers Evansville past UNC Asheville

EVANSVILLE - Back at home for the first time in more than two weeks, the University of Evansville men's soccer teams earned a 1-0 victory over UNC Asheville at Arad McCutchan Stadium on Saturday evening.

Evansville opened its attack early and often in the first half as the Aces out-shot the Bulldogs, 9-3, in the opening 45 minutes. The first opportunity came nine minutes in as sophomore Leo Barba had his shot saved. Minutes later, the ball found itself in front of freshman Ethan Garvey in the box, but Garvey's shot slipped wide. The breakthrough for the Aces came in the 38th minute as sophomore Ryan Harris buried a ball into the back of the net off assists from senior Jesse Stafford-Lacey and freshman Nkosi Graham.

To open the second half, Evansville withstood a pair of opportunities from the Bulldogs as Izaiah Vignali had two shots blocked by the Aces. Evansville responded with a shot from redshirt sophomore Davis Peck that was saved by UNC Asheville. The Aces owned much of the second stanza, out-shooting the Bulldogs again, this time by a 7-4 margin. Much of the UNC Asheville threat was contained by the Aces outside of the 18 as senior goalkeeper Frederik Reimer was not tasked with making a save in the match as the Aces captured the 1-0 victory.

In the match, Evansville out-shot the Bulldogs, 16-7, and held a 7-1 advantage on corner kicks.

The Aces remain at home to start Missouri Valley Conference play at 6 p.m. on Wednesday against Loyola at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
