Last Time Out
- Looking to continue its best Missouri Valley Conference start since 2002, the Purple Aces traveled to Cedar Falls, Iowa last weekend to face UNI
- Evansville appeared to have momentum on its side in game one when a grand slam by Bella Coffey saw the Aces make it a 7-6 game in the top of the fourth, but UNI countered with 15 runs in the bottom half of the inning before finishing with a 22-7 win
- The Panthers went on to take the second game of the doubleheader by a 14-0 final before wrapping up the series with a 9-1 triumph
 
Highway Robbery
- Averaging 2.18 steals per game, the Aces rank 18th in the NCAA and are tops among Valley schools...UE has two players currently ranked in the top 90 nationally in steals per game (Hannah Hood/Mea Adams)
- Hannah Hood leads the team with 12 steals in 12 attempts while Mea Adams is right behind, going 11-for-11...the duo rank third and fourth in the league, respectively
 
Bringing the Power
- Through the opening portion of the 2021 campaign, Lindsay Renneisen is third on the squad with five home runs and 16 RBI
- She has also brought a solid average, hitting .278...in the win at Alabama State on February 20, Renneisen posted the first 3-hit game of her career - all three hits were doubles
- Entering the SIUE game, Renneisen was 6-for-36 in her last 10 games, but rebounded to go 2-4 with two runs scored against the Cougars...that game has gotten her back on track as she is 6-for-18 in th last eight games with a home run, five RBI and three walks
