Late comeback keeps Aces unbeaten with win over Middle Tennessee

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Down a goal late, the University of Evansville women's soccer team found success where it has generated goals all season: set pieces. The Aces scored twice in the final six minutes, stealing a 3-2 overtime victory on the road over Middle Tennessee on Sunday afternoon in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

After turning away multiple opportunities for the Blue Raiders, the Aces capitalized on a chance late in the opening half to grab the early advantage. Following a pair of corner kicks, junior Monique Landrum tallied the match's opening goal in the 42nd minutes as Evansville held the lead at the half.
