LEXINGTON, Ky. - The IUPUI men's soccer team will face a tall order this weekend when it takes on both Evansville and host Kentucky at the UK Tournament at the UK Soccer Complex. The Jaguars will kickoff against the Purple Aces at 5:00 p.m. on Friday (Sept. 2), before taking on the Wildcats at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday (Sept. 4).

The Missouri Valley Conference foe went 1-1 in the preseason, bettering Illinois-Springfield 4-0 and dropping a 2-1 count to Saint Louis.
