EVANSVILLE, Ind. – All fans will be admitted free of charge to Monday night's exhibition match between the University of Evansville women's soccer team and Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville (SIUE). Kick-off will take place at 5 p.m. at UE's Arad McCutchan Stadium, and fans will also be permitted to bring outside food and drink for Monday night's match only, as there will be no concessions available.
UE returns 22 players from last season's squad, led by third-team all-MVC defender Rachel Rosborough (Mt. Brydges, Ontario/Strathroy District CI). Evansville will add eight talented freshmen led by local standouts Ella Hamner (Evansville, Ind./Memorial) and Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind./Reitz), and including talented forwards Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont) and A'Liyah Warrick (Mableton, Ga./Campbell), midfielder Ashlyn Koutsos (Cumming, Ga./West Forsyth), defenders Emily Karr (Mooresville, Ind./Center Grove) and Brinli Helms (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) and goalkeeper Elke Travis (Henderson, Nev./Faith Lutheran).
SIUE has advanced to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances, after winning the Ohio Valley Conference tournament title last year for the third-consecutive season. The Cougars went 8-6-4 a year ago, including 5-1-2 in the OVC. UE and SIUE played to a 0-0 draw last September, as Evansville senior goalkeeper Myia Danek (Laingsburg, Mich./Oakland Univ.) turned away five SIUE shots to record her first career shutout at UE.
