EVANSVILLE, Ind. - Home for the first time in the regular season, the University of Evansville women's basketball team hosts Chicago State at the Ford Center at 11 AM on Wednesday morning for its annual Education Day game.
Evansville and Chicago State are meeting for the ninth time in series history with the Aces capturing all eight previous meetings. The Aces and Cougars were scheduled to meet last season on Dec. 19, 2021 in Chicago, but the game was canceled due to COVID-19. The last time UE and CSU met was back on Dec. 18, 2019 inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse with the Aces winning, 76-42.
Evansville's 89-81 win over EKU last Monday evening was UE's first win in a season-opener on the road since Nov. 9, 2012 in a 54-45 victory at Ball State. Fifth-year guard Myia Clark was on fire last Monday at EKU. The St. Louis native finished with 25 points, tying the program record for most three-pointers in a single game with eight, going 8-for-9 from beyond the arc in the win. Newcomer Barbora Tomancova has impressed in her first two games in white and purple. Against EKU, Tomancova recorded 16 points and 15 boards before adding 11 points and four rebounds on Thursday night at No. 4 Iowa.
Wednesday's game is slated to feature over 2,000 school children from the tri-state area for a game full of educational activities and fun. Fans interested in attending Wednesday's matinee can purchase $5 tickets at the Ford Center box office on Wednesday.
