EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - Hitting the road for the first time this season, the University of Evansville men’s soccer team earned their second draw of the season, playing the Mercer Bears to a 1-1 final on Sunday afternoon.

For the second game in a row, Evansville fell behind early, as Mercer’s Liam Corr found the back of the net in the 10th minute of action to give the Bears the lead.

Evansville was quick to equalize, however. Taking control of the ball near midfield, Nacho Garcia (Zaragoza, Spain/UNIR) sent a ball down towards the box, where freshman Devin Shepherd (Denver, Colo./Arapahoe) controlled the ball off a Mercer header and chipped a shot over the head of the Mercer keeper to tie the score at one. The goal, coming in 23rd minute, was the first of Shepherd’s collegiate career.
