EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville women's soccer team scored early and held on late for a 2-1 victory over Morehead State on Sunday afternoon at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

It all started quickly for the Aces, as junior midfielder Molly Lear scored just 29 seconds into the match on a shot from 15 yards out. The goal was the first of the season for Lear and is the fastest goal for the Aces since Abby Springer scored 17 seconds in a 3-0 win over Belmont on September 13, 2013.

Evansville added another goal in the 31st minute as senior forward Montana Portenier received the ball after a header by freshman Jayme-Lee Hunter and finished it at point blank range past the keeper.
