Box Score PEORIA, Ill. - On a frosty Friday night in Peoria, the University of Evansville men's soccer team battled the elements, as well as top seeded Missouri State through scoreless regulation, as well as two overtime periods before finally falling on penalty kicks 6-5 in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament semifinals.
Contrary to the score, the match was far from a defensive struggle, with the two squads combining for 34 shots through 110 minutes, with the Purple Aces holding an 18-16 edge in that department.
Evansville senior goalkeeper Matt Keller (Carmel, Ind.) was once again dominant in net, stopping all shots on goal he faced before the shootout .
