UK men’s soccer could have come out with a lackadaisical effort from still riding a high off the team’s upset road win over ranked New Mexico. Instead, the Cats came out with an offensive intensity that led the Cats to a 4-1 victory over the University of Evansville Purple Aces.
All-American Napo Matsoso jump-started the offense in the 44th minute off a clearance from an Evansville free kick. He made a solo run on the Purple Ace backline that ended with a shot just inside the box. The shot was saved but midfielder Kevin Barajas came up with the rebound and finished it for his first goal of the season.
