2021 Schedule | 2021 Tickets

EVANSVILLE - Head Coach Marshall Ray has announced the 2021 slate of games for the University of Evansville men's soccer team.

Evansville now offers digital, mobile ticketing that allows fans to buy tickets ahead of time. Single game tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for youth and seniors and can be purchased here. Fans can also purchase season passes for men's soccer for $45, available here.

"We have built a challenging nonconference schedule highlighted by matches with IU and a trip out west to face Denver and Air Force," said Ray. "Our program has always sought out the best competition to prepare us for conference play and this year is no different. We have a strong core of players returning from our 2019 team. They have grown together on and off the field and with the new additions added to the 2021 roster we feel prepared to attack the months that lie ahead. We anxiously await having our fans back in Arad McCuthan stadium and cannot wait to play for them again this fall."  

Evansville returns all but one starter from the 2020-21 spring season and 20 of its 23 letterwinners from a season ago, including Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Year Pablo Guillen, who tallied a team-best four goals.

Featuring 20 games with an equal split of 10 non-conference, including two exhibitions, and 10 MVC games, the Aces will get started this fall on August 15th. Evansville opens the season with a road exhibition at Kentucky at 5 PM (CT) as the Aces challenge a Wildcats side that advanced to the third round of the NCAA Championship in the spring.

Evansville's set of preseason exhibitions ends with a home matchup with Hanover on August 22 at 5 PM (CT) at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

The Aces open the regular season at home on August 26 when Bellarmine comes to the River City for a 6 PM contest. For the second-straight game, Evansville will challenge a team from the Derby City with a trip to Louisville on August 30 to take on the Cardinals at 6:30 PM (CT). The Aces and Louisville last met in an exhibition prior to the 2018 campaign.

A pair of home games marks the next stretch for the Aces as Evansville welcomes Kentucky Wesleyan on September 4 and faces Lipscomb on September 6 at McCutchan Stadium.

Making a trek out West, Evansville will face Denver and Air Force on September 10 and 12. The Aces will face the Pioneers for the first time since 2007 and for the first time on the road, winning the previous two meetings with Denver. The September 12 contest with the Falcons comes as the fourth total meeting between the Aces and Air Force with the Falcons making a trip to the Aces Soccer Classic in 2015 for the last meeting.

Conference play opens on September 18 with a home matchup with Loyola, followed by a road contest at reigning MVC champion Missouri State on September 25.

Newly returned MVC member SIUE makes the short trip to Evansville on September 29 to renew the rivalry. The Aces return to the road on October 3 with a trek to Des Moines, Iowa to face Drake.

Closing a stretch of five-straight Conference matches, Evansville welcomes Bradley to McCutchan Stadium on October 9.

A trip to face Belmont marks the schedule on October 13 to kickoff a three-game road swing for Evansville. Following the match in Nashville, the Aces head to Chicago to take on Loyola on October 16. Closing the road trip, Evansville goes to Bloomington to face the 2020-21 College Cup runners-up in Indiana on October 20.

Four conference contests fill the end of the regular season slate for Evansville, beginning with a home match with Missouri State and a road match at SIUE on October 23 and 27, respectively. Drake makes the return trip to Evansville on Halloween afternoon for the Aces regular season home finale. As has been true for three-straight fall seasons, Evansville's regular season will come to a close in Peoria, Ill. as the Aces take on Bradley on November 6.

The 2021 MVC Championship will take place at campus sites with the first round being held on November 9 and the semifinals taking place on November 12. With a berth in the NCAA Tournament on the line, the MVC Championship Game is slated for November 14.
