The Walnut St. improvement project has been completed. The updated traffic plan is designed to reduce vehicle speeds and increase pedestrian safety. A major change has been the removal of all parking on Walnut St. between Weinbach Ave. and Rotherwood Ave. The removal of authorized parking applies to all vehicles, regardless of the length of time or reason for stopping in the prohibited areas.

Despite the posted “No Parking” signs, drivers are still parking on Walnut St. Vehicles that are illegally parked on Walnut St. create blind spots for motorists and pedestrians. These blind spots create an unsafe environment for our community members. The decision to illegally park in this area can lead to preventable incidents and injuries. Please respect the health and safety of your classmates and co-workers and park only in authorized areas. If you need a temporary parking permit to access on-campus parking areas, contact the office of Public Safety at 488-2051. A temporary parking permit will be issued at no cost.

It is important to note the enforcement of parking regulations on city streets is handled by the Evansville Police Department. Although tickets issued by the EPD cannot be appealed through the Office of Public Safety, we are committed to promoting compliance with the city parking regulations as part of our overall efforts to keep our campus community safe.

In the midst of one of its best starts in program history, the University of Evansville women's soccer team returns to Arad McCutchan Stadium on Thursday evening at 6 PM to face SEMO.

Last Match: Evansville 3, Middle Tennessee 2 (OT)

• Down a goal late, the University of Evansville women's soccer team found success where it has generated goals all season: set pieces. The Aces scored twice in the final six minutes, stealing a 3-2 overtime victory on the road over Middle Tennessee on Sunday afternoon in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

• After turning away multiple opportunities for the Blue Raiders, the Aces capitalized on a chance late in the opening half to grab the early advantage. Following a pair of corner kicks, junior Monique Landrum tallied the match's opening goal in the 42nd minutes as Evansville held the lead at the half.

• In the second half, Evansville relied on strong defense, facing an increase in Middle Tennessee shots. The Blue Raiders found their equalizer just past the 10 minute mark of the second period as Sascha Nielsen scored off an assist from Sam DeBien.

• In all, Middle Tennssee recorded 20 total shots in the second half. Inside the final five minutes of regulation, Middle Tennessee went in front on a goal by Kirstine Lykke that seemed to surely seal the win for the home side. With just 30 seconds left, Evansville generated one last chance for itself, earning a corner.

• As has been true much of this season, the Aces capitalized on the set piece as Emily Olson sent home the corner, extending the match into extra time with just 16 seconds left.

• Evansville was the aggressor in the first overtime period as Kristen Harvey put a shot on frame in the 94th minute that forced a Blue Raider save. Following the save, the Aces earned a corner. Off the corner, Jayme-Lee Hunter found the end of it, firing the ball past the keeper and walking-off with a golden goal victory for Evansville.

• Hunter led Evansville with three shots, putting one on goal, while Landrum and Olson each scored off of their only shot attempts. In goal, Michaela Till captured her second-straight victory, making four saves.

• The Aces were out-shot, 26-10, in the match, but Evansville made the most of their attempts, placing seven on frame to six for the Blue Raiders.

Previewing the Matchup

• Thursday's matchup marks the 14th all-time in series history between the Aces and Redhawks with SEMO owning a 6-4-3 edge in the all-time series.

• The last time the two sides met came on Sept. 6, 2019, when the Redhawks captured a 2-1 win over Evansville at Arad McCutchan Stadium.

• SEMO enters the contest with a 2-2 record, having played some stout competition in the early portion of the season. SEMO's wins have come against NCAA DII opponents Maryville (4-1) and UMSL (1-0), while their losses have come on the road to Memphis (0-4) and Mississippi State (0-1).

• The Redhawks have been one of the most accurate teams in the nation through four games this season. SEMO has shown to be choosy with the shots it takes, averaging just 8.25 per match (262nd in NCAA DI), but have put 66.7% of those shots on frame, the eighth-best percentage in the nation.

• In Sunday's come-from-behind victory over Middle Tennessee, the Aces were forced to overcome a 2-1 deficit to claw back for the 3-2 win in overtime. The comeback win represented the first time Evansville overcame a deficit to win a match since a 2-1 win over SEMO on Aug. 16, 2018 in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

• Fifth-year senior Michaela Till's week earned her MVC Defensive Player of the Week honors. The Avon, Ind. native played and started in both matches, picking-up a pair of wins, while making nine saves between the posts.

• With a win, Evansville would reach a program-best five-game unbeaten streak to open the season.

Stifling Defense

• Evansville's defense has been strong all season long.

• Scoring the opening goal in three of four matches this season, the Aces have faced late bursts of shots from opponents, but have allowed just 5.2% of shots find the back of the net.

Continuing a long run of academic success, the University of Evansville men's and women's track and field teams again earned honors from the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, while senior Anna Lowry backed-up her performance on the track with a national academic honor.

For the 19th time on the women's side and the 13th time for Evansville's men, the Aces were honored with the USTFCCCA Team Academic award. The award is given to teams who finish with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with the Aces women finishing 2020-21 with a 3.401 GPA and the men earning a 3.45 GPA.

Individually, Lowry was named to the all-academic team after posting a 3.744 GPA and excelling on the track, capturing the Missouri Valley Conference title in the 5,000 meters in indoor and winning the Conference championship in the 10,000 meters in outdoor.

Lowry was one of 54 MVC student-athletes to earn the all-academic recognition. To qualify for the USTFCCCA All-Academic honors, the student-athlete must have compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and have met at least one of the following athletic standards:

Must have completed at least two (2) semesters or three (3) quarters at the nominating institution.

Athletic criteria for the award:

For the indoor season: must have finished the season ranked in the top 96 in any championship individual event, or in the top 48 in any championship relay event, for the most recent indoor season, certifiable by their place on final season performance lists on TFRRS for Indoor Track and Field (including performances achieved outside the qualifying window during the indoor season).

For the outdoor season: must have participated in any round of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships (the Preliminary Championship Competition and/or the Final Championship Competition) or for the multi-events, must have finished the season ranked in the top 48 in the East or top 48 in the West for the most recent outdoor season, certifiable by their place on the NCAA Division I descending order lists on TFRRS for Outdoor Track and Field.
