MURRAY, Ky.—The Racer soccer team dropped its match on Sunday afternoon to Evansville 2-0 at Cutchin Field. Racheal Foxley had two shots on goal in the game and Yi Du recorded seven saves in the loss.

Both of Evansville's goals came two minutes apart in the first half as Kayla Smith netted the first in the 24^th minute while Kristen Davis added the second in the 26^th minute for the Purple Aces (1-2). Murray State (0-2) had a few good looks at goal in the second half, but all attempts found their way to the Evansville keeper.

“I'm not pleased with the losses this weekend obviously. But I'm pleased with the way the girls are competing out there. We know it's tough for them because a lot of the girls are playing all 90 minutes, especially the freshman,” said coach Acreman.

The Racers started five freshmen on Sunday and had six in all appear in the contest, in front of another solid crowd at “The Hill.”

“The fans have really been great out here with their support,” said Acreman. “We've had a wonderful atmosphere and we just ask that they stay patient with us. We're getting healthier and are trying to build toward OVC play right now and are coming close to where I'd like us to be. Right now our younger girls are getting some great experience and everyone on the team is doing what I've asked and is working hard.”

MSU returns to action Friday for a match against Western Michigan in Kalamazoo. The Racers return home on Sept. 9 against Northern Kentucky.
