EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Fresh off its first win of the 2022 season, the University of Evansville women's soccer team will now play its first road contest of the year on Thursday night, as the Purple Aces will travel to Edwardsville, Illinois to take on the Cougars of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. Kick-off is set for 7:05 p.m. and Thursday's match can be seen live on ESPN+.
Evansville will enter Thursday's contest at 1-1-1 overall after picking up a 2-1 victory over Morehead State on Sunday at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.
