MOREHEAD, Ky. - Continuing its strong start to the season, the University of Evansville women's soccer team earned a 1-0 victory on the road at Morehead State on Thursday evening in Morehead, Ky.

Senior Emily Ormson tallied her second goal of the season and moved into sole possession of the lead for active career leads in goals with eight in her four seasons at UE. Between the posts, fifth-year senior Michaela Till made her first start of the season, recording her 13th career shutout, putting her alone in fourth in Evansville history.

It did not take long for Evansville to go in front in the match as the first shot of the game came in the 12th minute. A well placed through ball by senior Emily Wolak found a sprinting Ormson, who chipped the keeper and found the back of the net to open the scoring. Morehead State countered with six shots over the next 30 minutes, while Evansville recorded just one, but the Aces defense was strong in keeping the Eagles off the board.

Evansville unleashed an offensive in the opening portion of the second half, recording four shots before the 59th minute, including a shot from junior Monique Landrum that forced a save from Morehead State. As has been true over the past two seasons, the Aces defense remained consistent, turning away Morehead State's shots down the stretch. In all, Till tallied five saves on the night as Evansville secured a 1-0 road win.
