SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – It was another late victory for the University of Evansville men's soccer team on Saturday evening as Ian McGrath fired home an 86th-minute match-winner to secure a 2-1 decision for the Purple Aces over Missouri State and Betty and Bobby Allison South Stadium.

The win, which was the first for an opposing team in Springfield since 2014, saw the Aces improve to 9-7-2 overall and 4-2-1 in Missouri Valley Conference play. MSU, on the other hand, dropped to 8-6-2 and 3-3-1, respectively.

"You have to give a lot of credit to Missouri State because it was a battle today," UE head coach Marshall Ray said.
