No. 2 seed Drake University beat No. 6 seed University of Evansville 1-0 in the first semifinal match of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Tournament at Loyola Soccer Park Friday night.
The first half was slow to start as neither team scored. Drake had more shots on goal (SOG) than Evansville with a total of 10 shots compared to the Purple Aces’ two SOG.
In the second half, Evansville’s goalkeeper kept up the pressure and continued to knock away shots. The back-and-forth game continued with some aggressiveness from both teams, as Drake sophomore forward Hannah Bormann received a yellow card early in the second half.
