The Purple Aces wrap up what will be a 15-game home stand before taking to the road this weekend against UNI.  Evansville added four more wins to its record last week to improve to 17-7 on the season and 5-1 in MVC play.  The 17-7 start is the best since the 2007 UE squad had an identical mark through 24 contests.  The 5-1 mark through six league games is the top mark since 2002 when the Aces also won five of their first six league games.   The 2002 went on to win the conference tournament championship to earn a spot in the NCAA Regionals.
 
It is often said that players raise their level of play when it matters the most and that is what Eryn Gould has done in the opening portion of the MVC slate.  She has raised her numbers in almost every facet of the game while helping the Aces to their best conference start since 2002.  Overall, Gould has a .441 average, .779 slugging and .585 on-base percentage, but when focusing on the six conference games, those numbers are even higher.  Gould is batting .583, slugging 1.333 while reaching base 77.3% of the time through the first two weekends of conference action.
 
In the circle last week, Izzy Vetter accumulated two victories, a 1.24 ERA and struck out 25 batters over the course of 17 innings of work.  Opponents batted just .102 against her over the course of three appearances during the week.  Making the start in the midweek game against SIUE, Vetter tossed three perfect innings without allowing a baserunner while striking out four.  In a pitcher's duel to open the Valparaiso series, Vetter picked up win #7 of the season, throwing a complete game 3-hitter where she struck out a career-high 12 batters while allowing just one run in a close 2-1 win.  She was at her best once again in Sunday's finale, going the entire distance once again.  Vetter gave up three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out nine on the way to her 8^th win of 2021.
