Barba and Aranda bring experience, maturity to Aces

EVANSVILLE, Ind. - The first part of a six-part series releasing the 13 newcomers to the 2019 University of Evansville men's soccer team, today we look at Leo Barba and Luis Aranda, two student-athletes from the state of Texas.

Barba has been no stranger to the Aces, after joining Evansville in the fall of 2018 and sitting out the season due to NCAA transfer rules. Spending one season under current Aces' assistant Brett Bentley at Adams State, Barba led the team with five goals and an assist , recording 38 shots. Barba helped the Grizzlies secure their best season in program history with a 7-10-1 record.
