Last Match: Evansville 1, Morehead State 0

• 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.

Previewing the Matchup

• Sunday's matchup marks just the sixth all-time meeting between the Aces and Blue Raiders with Middle Tennessee owning a 4-1 advantage in the series.
• The last time the two sides met on Aug. 22, 2019, when the Blue Raiders captured a 5-1 win over the Aces at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
• Middle Tennessee enters Sunday's match with a 1-1-1 record and are coming off a 4-2 loss on the road to a tough Ole Miss squad.
• Peyton DePriest is the team's leading goal scorer having already tallied three goals on the season. Against the Rebels, DePriest moved into a tie for the top spot in the C-USA record book for career goals. The senior has 49 career goals with four coming against the Aces.

Back to the Emilie/Emilys

• In the 48th minute of last Sunday's game against Belmont, junior forward Monique Landrum scored to break incomprehensible streak for Evansville. Landrum became the first goal scorer in 1,144 minutes of soccer for the Aces to not be named Emily or Emilie, dating back to the 2019 regular season. Following Landrum's goal, the streak started again with Emilie Hill scoring twice for the Aces and was continued when Emily Ormson scored the game winner against Morehead State. The streak now sits at 132 minutes. (Credit to Tom Benson)
