IOWA CITY, Iowa – 21^st- ranked Iowa got off to a hot start on Sunday afternoon and did not look back, downing Evansville by a score of 119-43 at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The Hawkeyes shot a blistering 64.6% from the field to take the win.

Purple Aces Graduate Assistant Molly Davis was honored in her return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, having been a key piece in Iowa's back-to-back national championship appearances in 2023 and 2024.

Logan Luebbers Palmer (Union, Ky./Randall K. Cooper) scored in double figures for the seventh time in her career, leading the Aces with 12 points. Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind./Hamilton Heights) added 10 points and tallied a team-high three assists. 12 different players saw the floor for Evansville.

Iowa jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the first 2:11 of action, but an and-one by Luebbers Palmer and layups by Runner and Georgia Ferguson (Waterloo, Ontario/Cairine Wilson Secondary School) helped the Aces battle back to make it 11-7. However, a 16-0 run for the Hawkeyes helped the home team build a 29-10 lead at the end of the first quarter.

Luebbers Palmer continued her hot shooting in the second quarter, making two more shots from distance to run her total to the half to three, while freshman Jelena Savic (Melbourne, Australia/Kurunjang Secondary College) scored the first four points of her career. In the final three minutes of the quarter, Iowa used another run to take a 59-22 advantage into halftime.

The third quarter saw another Purple Aces' freshman enter the scoring column, as Iowa native Sydney Huber (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Mount Vernon) knocked down a three-pointer for her first collegiate basket. However, the Aces were limited to three field goals as Iowa opened up a 90-30 lead.

From there, the Hawkeyes continued to cruise en route to the win. Odessa College transfer Mireia Mustaros (Barcelona, Spain) scored her first points as an Ace in the quarter, knocking down a three-pointer and a free throw to notch her first points at the DI level.

The Aces return to action on Wednesday with another road test, this time at Eastern Kentucky. Tip-off from Richmond, Ky. is set for 6 PM.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Four players recorded double figures to pace the University of Evansville men’s basketball team to a 76-47 victory over Oakland City on Sunday afternoon at the Ford Center.

“Our goal was to learn about ourselves and get better every game,” Purple Aces head coach David Ragland said. “It was good to come home this weekend and have two games this weekend. Being part of Education Day on Friday was memorable for our guys and to bounce back and perform like we did today was good to see.”

Connor Turnbull was the leading scorer in the contest finishing with 14 points on a 5-for-9 effort from the field. Josh Hughes and Bryce Quinet recorded 13 points apiece while AJ Casey scored 10. For the third game in a row, Trent Hundley tallied nine points while adding six boards. Leif Moeller led the team with seven assists and seven rebounds.

Hughes’ triple capped a 3-for-3 start from the field that gave the Purple Aces an 8-2 lead just over two minutes into the game. The Mighty Oaks countered with a 6-1 run to make it a 9-8 game before a layup by Hughes put UE back in front at 14-8.

Up 14-11 at the 14:25 mark, Evansville scored the next 13 points over the ensuing five minutes to open a 27-11 advantage. The defense held OCU to seven misses in a row while opening the 16-point lead. Trent Hundley had four points during the run before a Kaia Berridge triple completed the run.

Oakland City continued to fight back, utilizing an 11-1 stretch to cut the deficit to just six points with 4:40 left in the period. UE rebounded to push lead back to 13 points at the break as Bryce Quinet hit a triple on UE’s final possession of the half. Connor Turnbull led all players with 10 points in the half.

Out of the break, UE took control with Turnbull converting two baskets to push the lead to 17. Inside the 16-minute mark, AJ Casey’s basket gave Evansville its first 20-point lead at 49-29. With seven minutes on the clock, it was AJ Casey’s 3-pointer that made it a 27-point game at 68-41. The lead for the Aces reached as many as 28 points before the final score finished at 76-47.

Kalik Sharpe and Chris Grubbs led the Mighty Oaks with 10 points each. UE finished the game shooting 49.1% while OCU checked in at 27.1%. Evansville also held the rebounding edge by a 42-35 final.

Set 2 – Bradley 25, UE 21

Hinsley Everett and Josdarilee Caraballo posted kills that turned a 7-7 game into a 9-7 lead. The Braves posted three in a row to retake the lead, but the Aces had an answer. Another Caraballo kill gave her team its largest lead at 15-12. Three in a row by Bradley tied it up at before they retook a 19-17 lead.

Another kill by Everett got her team back within a point at 20-19, but BU rebounded to finish the set with the 25-21 win.

Set 3 – UE 25, Bradley 19

Evansville’s hard work finally paid off in the third set with a 25-19 victory to force a fourth game. Cline registered a kill to give the Aces a 5-3 edge while Bradley regained a 7-6 edge shortly after. With the score tied at 8-8, Evansville scored three in a row with Everett notching a pair of kills.

Set 4 – Bradley 25, UE 22

It was the Braves who had the early momentum, opening with a 9-4 lead. Josdarilee Caraballo picked up a kill and ace to make it a 10-8 game before Bradley took its largest lead at 16-10.

Set 2 – Illinois State 25, UE 12

Just as they had in the first game, ISU was rolling early in the second. After posting the first five points, the Redbirds held a 7-1 lead. They pushed the lead to 19-8 before Evansville got bak into it with a 3-0 stretch. Hinsley Everett and Chloe Cline picked up kills before the duo assisted on a block to finish the run. The momentum was short-lived as Illinois State rebounded to take the set by a 25-12 final.

Set 3 – Illinois State 25, UE 18

Chloe Cline and Kora Ruff picked up kills to knot the score at 2-2 while Everett and McKenzie Laubach added kills to give UE its first lead of the evening at 5-4.

With the score tied at 17-17, ISU took control, scoring four in a row before clinching the match with a 25-18 win. UE looks to earn a weekend split with a 5 p.m. match at Bradley on Saturday.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Alex Hemenway went a perfect 5-for-5 from outside to help the University of Evansville men’s basketball team defeat Calumet College of St. Joseph by a final score of 95-50 in Evansville’s home opener at the Ford Center.

Hemenway was 8-of-10 from the floor on his way to a career-high 21 points. His previous scoring mark of 18 points came in against USC Upstate in his time at Clemson.

“He was phenomenal today, it was exciting to see him play like this on Education Day,” UE head coach David Ragland exclaimed. “Alex was sitting in those seats when he was younger so it was neat to see his story come full circle.”

Hemenway’s tally was a game high. Josh Hughes joined him in double figures with 12 points. Trent Hundley finished nine points for the second game in a row while Kaia Berridge scored eight. Leif Moeller completed the game with eight assists and seven points while James Dyson-Merwe led all players with seven rebounds.

After hitting the first shot of the game, Calumet opened a 12-8 advantage knocking down their first attempts from the field. Triples from Alex Hemenway and Leif Moeller quickly put UE in front at 14-12. Hemenway’s fourth triple of the game pushed the lead to 20-12 at the 13:28 mark. His trey capped a 5-of-7 start by the Aces from long range.

Evansville continued to add to its lead when Hemenway capped a 5-for-5 start from 3-point range to give UE a 29-15 lead before Josh Hughes added a bucket to extend the advantage to 16 points. The Crimson Wave cut the deficit back down to ten before the Aces rallied to take a 19-point lead at the half. An alley-oop from Moeller to Connor Turnbull completed the first half scoring and made it a 44-25 game.

Hemenway wrapped up the half with 19 points while Moeller registered eight assists in the opening 20 minutes. Josh Hughes finished the period with 10 points.

Field goals by Hughes and Hemenway gave UE its first 20-point lead in the opening two minutes of the second half as the Aces held a 48-28 advantage. Keishon Porter and Moeller converted layups to extend the lead to 24 points at the 15-minute mark. It was all Aces from there as the final score marked the largest advantage for UE at 42 points.

UE shot 49.3% for the game while holding the Crimson Wave to 30.2%. The rebounding battle went the way of the Aces by a final of 49-25. J. Caleb Slawinski was the leading scorer for Calumet scoring 10 points.

ST. LOUIS – Following a season in which the program saw its highest win total since 2021, the University of Evansville women's soccer team placed four student-athletes on MVC All-Conference teams, the league office announced on Wednesday afternoon.

Junior Taylor Johnson (Evansville, Ind./Reitz) earns all-conference honors for the second time in her career, landing on the All-MVC Second Team after being a Third Team selection in 2024. Johnson took her game to the next level in 2025, posting single season career-highs in games played (16), starts (16), assists (3), points (9), shots (18), shots on goal (13), and minutes played (1,034). Johnson scored three goals on the year, ranking second on the team.

Brielle LaBerge (Cumming, Ga./Forsyth Central) enjoyed a breakout campaign as a sophomore in 2025, starting all 16 matches while playing 1,422 of a possible 1,440 minutes. While serving as an anchor of the Evansville defense, LaBerge was also one of the top offensive threats in the conference, finishing the regular season second in the MVC with five assists and first in assists per game at 0.31. LaBerge also added a goal to finish the year with eight points, while placing eight shots on target.

Allie Lammers (Cincinnati, Ohio/Mount Notre Dame) emerged as one of the top goalkeepers in the MVC this year to earn Third Team all-conference accolades. Serving as Evansville's primary keeper, Lammers posted a 6-4-2 record with five shutouts in 13 matches. Lammers ranked inside the top 100 nationally in goals against average (1.00), the lowest mark by a UE primary starter since 2020. For the year, the sophomore made 46 saves for a .793 save percentage, including eight matches with four-plus saves. Over the course of the season, Lammers earned three MVC Goalkeeper of the Week awards, the most by a Valley keeper this season while marking the first time an Evansville keeper has been named MVC Goalkeeper three times in a single season since Simone Busby in 2014.

Lily Kytasaari (Platte City, Mo./Platte County) lands on the MVC All-Freshman Team following a stellar debut season with the Purple Aces. Playing in all 16 matches with one start, Kytasaari logged 498 minutes and scored two goals, becoming one of four Aces to score multiple goals on the season. With the nod, Kytasaari becomes Evansville's first All-Freshman team selection since Hailey Autenrieb in 2021.

ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville sophomore goalkeeper Michal Mroz (Elk Grove, Ill./Elk Grove) earned his second MVC Defensive Player of the Week award in the last four weeks on Tuesday afternoon, the league office announced. Mroz earns the award after posting 12 saves in wins over Louisville and Northern Illinois, including a season-high 10 saves in the win over the Huskies to help Evansville clinch a share of their first regular season conference title since 1991.

On Monday at Louisville, Mroz made two saves to help his team to a 3-1 win. The win was Evansville's first over a power conference opponent since 2013 and the first over the Cardinals in Louisville since 1991. Mroz continued to help the Aces make history on Friday with one of the best performances of his career, stopping 10 shots for his sixth clean sheet of the year. In six MVC matches this season, Mroz has recorded four shutouts and allowed only three goals.

Mroz ranks among both MVC and national leaders in multiple categories, ranking third in the MVC and 44th in the country in goals against average at .882 and is second in the MVC and 39th nationally with six shutouts. The Aces' keeper has been especially stout in conference play, maintaining a league-best .50 goals against average. Mroz also paces the conference in shutouts (4) and save percentage (.855) against MVC opposition.

Evansville wraps up the regular season on Wednesday, traveling to Nashville to take on Belmont. With a win or tie, Evansville would clinch the MVC regular season title outright. Kick-off is set for 6 PM.
