Backes leads WKU to another convincing win

The Lady Toppers soccer team (3-2) maintained their pressuring play from last week’s overtime win to defeat Evansville (2-4) 4-1 Sunday night, Sept. 3, at WKU Soccer Complex.

WKU has been looking to put the pressure on opposing teams this season, with relentless attacking into opposing team's halves. Sophomore forward Chandler Backes continues to be a big piece of this formula, scoring twice Sunday evening to go with an assist, her second five-point game as a Lady Topper.

“It's an amazing feeling,” Backes said. “It’s such an honor to be with this program. To see how it's been built and everything that’s happened.
