UE women's soccer closed out the non-conference portion of its schedule with a tie on Senior Night against UT Martin. The Aces scored early in the second half to hang on for the point over the last 26 minutes of the match. Freshman defender Emmy Brenner (Arlington, Tenn. / St. Benedict at Auburndale HS) scored her first collegiate goal in the game. Brenner scored Evansville's lone goal against the Skyhawks in the 64th minute on a header off a cross from senior forward Hailey Autenrieb (Cincinnati / Seton HS) for Autenrieb's second season assist.

Belmont comes into MVC action with a 3-5-1 record on Thursday. The Bruins closed out the non-conference portion of the season with a 1-1 tie against Chattanooga for their Senior Day. Belmont is led on offense by freshman midfielder Ava Labocki with four goals for eight points. Labocki was named the Valley Freshman of the Week on Tuesday while the Bruins goalkeeper Sydney Jones was named the Valley Goalkeeper of the Week for making 12 saves over the past week.

At the end of non-conference play, the Aces performance in goal continues to be one of the best in the nation.
