Promotions
  • For Tuesday's match, Evansville has a host of promotions to help encourage fans to come out and cheer on the Aces.
  • The first 200 fans at Tuesday's match will receive a voucher for a free combo meal (hot dog, chips, and drink)
  • All UE students will get free admission to Tuesday's match

Previewing the Matchup
  • Meeting for the second time in just over a week, Tuesday's meeting represents the 40th time the two sides have met with Drake owning a 21-16-2 advantage in the all-time series.
  • In the Oct. 31 regular season meeting between the Aces and Bulldogs, Evansville captured a 2-0 victory with a pair of goals from Jakub Hall.
  • Tuesday's match is the first time Evansville has hosted an MVC Tournament quarterfinal match since 2018, when the Aces hosted the entire tournament, falling to Missouri State, 5-2, in the opening round.
  • A win would represent the Aces first MVC Tournament win since a 1-0 victory over Loyola Chicago in the opening round of the 2017 MVC Tournament.
  • Evansville and Drake are meeting for the sixth time in the MVC Tournament with the Bulldogs holding a 4-1 advantage in the five previous matchups. Evansville did win the most recent postseason meeting, a 2-1 win in the first round of the 2016 MVC Tournament.

Hall Continues to Roll
  • Over the last two weeks, redshirt junior forward Jakub Hall has started to take control of the Aces attack.
  • Hall has scored in three-straight matches, including a pair of goals in a 2-0 win over Drake on Oct. 31.
  • Hall is a prolific scorer by nature having scored more than 70 goals in his high school career with 41 coming in his senior season.

Madden's Shutouts
  • Much like Jakub Hall, redshirt junior goalkeeper Jacob Madden has begun to hit his stride in goal over the last three matches.
  • On the season, Madden has three shutouts, all coming in MVC play, the most since Matt Keller finished the season with five shutouts on the year in 2017.
