CINCINNATI - After an extended wait, Xavier celebrated the opening of the 2016-17 athletics season with a win as Xavier women's soccer took the 2-0 win over Evansville at home on Friday evening.
After Xavier went ahead by a pair in the first half, an extended weather delay midway through the second period forced the teams into the locker room for an hour with just under 30 minutes remaining in the match. After the weather cleared, the teams returned to the pitch where the Musketeers held the Purple Aces with out a goal to take the season-opening win.
