Aces Earn Third Consecutive Shutout in 0-0 Draw at UT Martin

MARTIN, Tenn. – The University of Evansville women's soccer team earned their third consecutive shutout on Thursday night, running their unbeaten streak to four with a 0-0 draw at UT Martin.

Purple Aces keeper Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) continued to impress, matching her career-high with four saves to become the first Evansville goalkeeper to record three shutouts in a row since Chaviel Harrison in 2011. Since entering in the second half against Purdue, Lammers has not allowed a goal over 315 minutes of action.

Evansville threatened in the first ten minutes of play, with Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind./Reitz) and Ashlyn Koutsos (Cumming, Ga./West Forsyth) putting shots on goal. Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) also contributed a shot on goal in the first half, but the match remained scoreless heading into the halftime intermission.

Following a save by Lammers in the 55th minute, the Aces saw perhaps their best scoring chance of the night in the 59th minute off a corner, but Taylor Wehrer's (Las Vegas, Nev./Desert Oasis) shot from just in front of the goal was saved by UT Martin keeper Mac Titus.

Brooklyn Robinson (West Haven, Utah/Fremont) added a shot on goal in the 75th minute, followed quickly by a shot on goal by Olivia Mills (London, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier Secondary School), but Titus held the Aces at bay with a pair of saves.

Lammers kept her clean sheet intact in the final five minutes of the night with a save in the 86th minute to help the Aces leave with a result.

"I thought that this would be a difficult game," said Head Coach Chris Pfau. "The second half against Austin Peay, I think we hit a wall. We're good enough and mature enough to get through it now."
 
"To get a result when you're not at your best, to keep a shutout with Allie, who has not been scored on, little things like that are good to take away."

"It shows the maturity and leadership of this team to not be at your best, be on the road, and grind out a result."

Both Evansville and UT Martin tallied 13 shots, while the Aces held the advantage in shots on goal at 7-4. 20 different players saw action for the Aces.

With the tie, Evansville moves to 4-1-1 on the season. The Aces will be back in action on Sunday to celebrate Senior Night, hosting Middle Tennessee at Arad McCutchan Stadium. Kick-off is set for 4 PM.
