The Purple Aces open the season on Friday at 8:30 a.m. CT against Stonehill before resuming action on Saturday with games against UT Martin and Tennessee Tech.  Sunday's final day will see UE face TTU and Furman.
 
Evansville's top three hitters from last season return as Zoe Frossard, Jess Willsey, and Brooke Voss will anchor the offense.  Frossard, a member of the 2025 All-MVC Preseason Team, led UE with a .301 average last season.  She drew a team-high 28 walks and was second on the team with nine stolen bases and 26 runs scored.
 
Willsey completed the 2024 campaign with a .284 average.  Her 23 RBI from last year paces all of Evansville's returners.  Voss had a solid freshman campaign, batting .270 with six home runs, 18 RBI, and 25 runs scored.
 
Sydney Weatherford is back for her senior season in the circle.  In 2024, she led the Aces in wins (8), ERA (3.42), and innings pitched (116.2).
