EVANSVILLE – It was an impressive season-opening display for the University of Evansville women's soccer team on Thursday evening as the Purple Aces dealt preseason Ohio Valley favorites Murray State a 2-1 exhibition defeat at Arad McCutchan Stadium.
"We showed some good stuff today, but we were exposed at times with things that we need to work on," UE head coach Krista McKendree said. "That's what you want out of these games. Hopefully, we'll leave here with some positives and things that we can build on going forward."
