CINCINNATI – It was a dream start for Jared Robinson and the University of Evansville men's soccer team, but ultimately, the senior's second-minute strike would go for naught as the Purple Aces fell 3-1 to Xavier in the season-opening contest at Xavier Soccer Field on Friday night.
After outlasting nearly three hours of delays due to inclement weather, Robinson got on the end of a Zac Blaydes corner kick just 95 seconds into the match to put UE ahead.
"We thought we may have had an advantage with our height, and we worked on some set pieces just before we left yesterday," UE head coach Marshall Ray revealed.
