Box Score EVANSVILLE - In front of a packed house of 1,620 fans, the University of Evansville men's soccer team battled to a scoreless draw with Southern Indiana on Saturday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

The match marked the second-straight clean sheet for graduate goalkeeper Alex Vidizzoni, who faced six shots total and two on goal, saving both. Much of the attack came from sophomore Jose Vivas, who tallied a career-high six shots on the night, putting three on frame. On the evening, the Aces out-shot the Screaming Eagles, 15-6.

Evansville's best chance of the opening half came just four minutes into the match as Vivas streaked down the left side and into the box and had his shot just tipped away by Eagles goalkeeper Alec Meissner. USI had a chance to move in front just before the break in the 43rd minute with a shot from Zach Barton that Vidizzoni saved.

The Aces came out of the half as the aggressors, quickly firing three shots inside the first eight minutes of the half. Late in the match, Evansville continued to put the pressure on the Screaming Eagles backline. UE's best chance of the night came in the 85th minute as a ball found the feet of sophomore forward Nacho Diaz, who flicked a ball towards goal that ricocheted off the left post and was knocked in off the chest of Vivas, but the goal was called off as Vivas was offside. Despite the late flurry of shots from Evansville, the defenses won the night in the 0-0 draw.

Evansville returns to action next Saturday, September 17th as the three-match homestand hits its midpoint with the Aces Missouri Valley Conference opener against SIUE at 6 PM at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
