IUPUI (2-4-1) snapped a three-game skid at Eastern Illinois last Sunday, led by freshman Krissy Kirkhoff's first career hat trick. The Indianapolis-native scored three second half goals, powering the Jaguars to a 3-2 win and the program's first-ever victory over the Panthers. Sophomore goalie Nicole Kulovitz captured her first win of the season, only yielding a pair of second half penalty kick goals while collecting five saves. Three different Jags were credited with assists with junior Kalli Shepler-Tucker setting up Kirkhoff's game-winning goal in the 83rd minute. Junior Grace Perkowitz assisted on the game's first goal and sophomore Alyssa Fox setup the Jags' second score. Kirkhoff was later tabbed as Summit League Offensive Player of the Week. 

For the year, Kirkhoff leads The Summit with 26 shot attempts and has a team-high three goals scored. Fox is second on the team with three points (1G/1A) and Perkowitz has a team-high two assists. Kulovitz has played the majority of the team's minutes in goal, registering a 1.72 goals against average and 31 saves in five starts. 

Evansville (4-3) has started the year 4-1 at home and dropped a pair of previous road matches. The Purple Aces have wins over Austin Peay, Bowling Green, Eastern Kentucky and Butler, all four coming by shutout. Bronwyn Boswell leads UE with three goals in seven games while Noor Medlej has a team-high three assists. Simone Busby paces the UE goalies with a 1.08 GAA and 23 total saves.
