EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women's soccer team will play its final exhibition match of the 2023 season on Saturday evening, as the Purple Aces will travel to St. Louis, Missouri to take on #21 Saint Louis University. Kick-off at SLU's Robert R. Hermann Stadium is set for 6 p.m. There will be no streaming or live stats for the match.
Evansville opened its exhibition season with a 0-0 draw with reigning Ohio Valley Conference Tournament champion SIUE on Monday.

Evansville returns 22 players from last season's squad, led by third-team all-MVC defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario/Strathroy District CI).
The Billikens of Saint Louis welcome back 17 players, including nine starters, from last season's squad which won both the Atlantic 10 Conference regular-season and tournament titles. SLU finished the 2022 season with a school-record 20 wins, while playing in their fifth-straight NCAA Championship. Saint Louis is currently ranked #21 nationally in the United Soccer Coaches preseason national poll.
