WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue soccer team opened its spring season with a 4-0 victory over Evansville on Saturday afternoon at the Mollenkopf Athletic Center in West Lafayette, Indiana.
The Boilermaker offense scored four second-half goals in the in-state exhibition matchup as the defense limited opportunities to earn the clean sheet.
The contest was the first of five matches for Purdue this spring. The squad returns to the pitch in one month against Indiana State on March 26. Kickoff at Folk Field is set for 1 p.m. ET.
April features three games, at Notre Dame on April 9, against UIC on April 16 and vs. DePaul on April 23.
Admission will be free for all fans for each of Purdue's three games at Folk Field.
The Boilermakers are coming off a memorable 2021 campaign, as they went 15-4-3, their second-best record and second-most wins in team history behind only 2007. Purdue made the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2009, and seventh time in program history, and advanced to the second round for the fourth time and first since 2007. The squad went 8-2-0 in the Big Ten and notched a runner-up finish, both tied for their best-ever marks.
Purdue finished the year ranked No. 24 in the final United Soccer Coaches Top 25 national poll, appearing in the postseason poll for the third time ever and the first since 2007. Individual accolades included an All-America honor, two All-Region accolades, five All-Big Ten Team awards, the Big Ten Forward of the Year and the first two NWSL draft picks in team history.
