EVANSVILLE, Ind. – For the first time since 1991, the University of Evansville men's soccer team clinched a share of a regular season conference title, taking down Northern Illinois by a score of 1-0 on Friday night at Arad McCutchan Stadium. The regular season title is Evansville's first as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference.
 
Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) and Nate Roberts (Las Vegas, Nev./Bishop Gorman) carried the day for the Purple Aces, as Mroz notched a season-high 10 saves to post his sixth clean sheet of the season, while Roberts netted the game-winner with his first career goal in the 58^th minute.
 
Northern Illinois dominated the scoring chances in the first half, tallying 10 shots to the Aces' five, but Mroz held strong with six saves to keep the match scoreless heading into halftime. Mroz made three saves in the first 10 and a half minutes of play before making two more saves in the 25^th minute.

Tancredi Fadda (Monza, Italy/University of Milan) saw the Aces' best scoring chance of the first half in the first 40^th minute, but his shot was saved to keep it 0-0 going to half.
 
Mroz made two more saves to begin the second half, coming up with stops in the 47^th and 56^th minutes to keep his clean sheet in tact.
 
In the 58^th minute, Roberts struck for the night's first goal, collecting a blocked shot near the top of the box and firing a shot past a diving keeper and into the bottom right corner.
 
From there, the Aces defense worked to keep the Huskies off the board, withstanding six NIU shots to post a shutout.
 
"It was a gritty win," said Head Coach Robbe Tarver. "I think NIU came in here and created a lot of opportunities, we were up against it a little bit tonight but we were able to change the energy in the second half."
 
"We talked a lot about being more consistent in the regular season to put ourselves in a position for a conference tournament and make the NCAA Tournament, so we are checking a lot of boxes. Ultimately, we need to win on Wednesday to win the conference outright and go to the final, which is ultimately what we need."
 
With the win, Evansville improves to 6-3-8 overall with a 3-0-3 mark in MVC play. The Purple Aces stand alone atop the MVC table with 12 points and can clinch the outright MVC regular season title with a win or draw on Wednesday against Belmont. Kick-off from Nashville is set for 6 PM.

ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville sophomore goalkeeper Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) notched another honor in a breakout season on Tuesday, being named the MVC Goalkeeper of the Week for the third time this year, the league office announced. Lammers earns the honor after posting 12 saves and allowing only one goal across two matches this week, including a career-high seven save performance in Thursday's 2-0 win over Northern Iowa.

Lammers led Evansville to a crucial victory over the Panthers, posting her fifth shutout of the year while facing 21 shots, the second-most she has faced in a match this season. On Sunday at Drake, Lammers tallied five saves on 11 shots faced, moving her season saves total to 45.

Lammers has been one of the top goalkeepers in the country this year, ranking 40^th in the country in save percentage (.833) and 57^th nationally in goals against average (0.82). Her three MVC Goalkeeper of the Week awards are the most by a Valley keeper this season and marks the first time an Evansville keeper has been named MVC Goalkeeper three times in a single season since Simone Busby 2014.

 The Evansville Promise Neighborhood (EPN) at the University of Evansville (UE) continues to strengthen its collaborative approach to community transformation, bringing together partners across four key focus areas to launch collective, high-impact initiatives that empower local families and create pathways of opportunity.

Following EPN's first-ever Essential Staff Training and Annual All-Partner Meeting earlier this year, each of the four EPN workgroups formed a Task Force to identify one or two collective projects that extend beyond individual partner programs. These Task Forces are now implementing their first shared action plans designed to make a measurable, lasting impact across the neighborhood.

Pipeline 1: Early Health and Kindergarten Readiness

To strengthen early learning outcomes, the Early Health and Kindergarten Readiness pipeline is leading a neighborhood-wide effort to empower families through the Little Moments, Big Growth campaign. The campaign aims to equip caregivers of young children with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to prepare their child for school. More than a message, Little Moments, Big Growth empowers families to take small, everyday actions that lead to big outcomes in a child's learning journey.

Pipeline 2: Student Achievement and Success

Recognizing that student success begins with being present, the Student Achievement and Success pipeline is piloting creative strategies to support attendance and family connection throughout the year. Efforts include the development of a consistent and shared attendance incentive structure and strategies to overcome transportation barriers-supported in part by the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corporation's (EVSC) new Promise Neighborhood bus, PN1, which works to help students and families stay connected and engaged throughout the year.

Pipeline 3: Postsecondary Access, Success, and Workforce Readiness

By taking a multigenerational approach to college and career readiness, the Postsecondary Access, Success, and Workforce Readiness pipeline is inspiring both students and families to dream big and plan ahead. Work is underway to develop mobile engagement displays, with the possibility of including virtual reality (VR) experiences, that will bring college and career exploration directly to students and families. The goal is to spark meaningful, future-focused conversations about education and career paths-wherever families already gather.

Pipeline 4: Neighborhood and Community Revitalization

Focused on building a healthier neighborhood, the Neighborhood and Community Revitalization pipeline is bringing fresh produce and interactive learning to EVSC family engagement events and after-school programs. By incorporating fresh produce and educational components into student experiences, the initiative seeks to build lifelong healthy habits and deepen understanding of food and nutrition.

The University of Evansville Athletics Department is proud to partner with the Evansville Promise Neighborhood to provide season tickets for EPN students and families to both men’s and women’s basketball games.

Through this collaboration, tickets will be distributed as incentives and giveaways to students across all six EPN schools. This initiative is designed to reward positive behavior, promote student engagement, and strengthen the connection between UE Athletics and the Evansville community.

We’re excited to welcome EPN students and families to cheer on the Aces and experience the excitement of college basketball.

This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to community engagement and youth development. We look forward to future opportunities to collaborate and make a lasting impact.
