Aces close preseason competition with 4-0 win over Hanover

EVANSVILLE - With an announced crowd of over 1,100, the University of Evansville men's soccer team finished its preseason slate with a 4-0 win over Hanover on Sunday evening at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.

Free admission for all fans and the annual freshman dinner helped provide an electric atmosphere for the Aces exhibition finale and Evansville fed off of it on the pitch. Early opportunities from Jon Varela and Tancredi Fadda missed, but senior Nkosi Graham found the back of the net inside the first 15 minutes to open the scoring. A shot from Fadda ricocheted off the post, deflecting to the feet of Graham who smashed it into the back of the net for the 1-0 lead.
