EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Evansville senior Monique Landrum and sophomore Ryleigh Anslinger scored their first goals of the year Thursday night, as the Purple Aces' women's soccer team played to a 2-2 draw with the visiting Drake Bulldogs at Arad McCutchan Stadium in Evansville.
In a defensive-minded first half, it was UE's bench who provided a lift early, as Landrum and fellow reserve midfielder Chrysta Vasquez provided a spark offensively. Vasquez cracked a shot off the crossbar in the 36th minute, and was stopped on another opportunity in the 40th minute. Then, Landrum was able to volley home a cross from defender Rachel Rosborough at the start of the 44th minute to give UE a 1-0 advantage at the break.
