Aces and Bulldogs meet for in-state showdown

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - After opening Missouri Valley Conference play on Saturday, the University of Evansville men's soccer team returns to non-conference action against in-state foe Butler on Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

Saturday evening, the Purple Aces began their conference slate with a 1-1 double-overtime draw with Missouri State. Following a Bears' goal in the 50th minute, Evansville answered in the 66th minute on a goal from freshman Davis Peck who finished a cross from junior Simon Waever into the back of the net. Over the final 44 minutes, the Aces' backline held strong as UE continued to push and create chances as neither Evansville or Missouri State could find the game-winner in the 1-1 tie.
