University of Evansville forward Philip Manga and midfielder Joel Nash have been chosen by College Soccer News as two of the nation's top 100 freshmen.  Earlier this month, UE's freshman class was chosen as one of the top 25 in the country.

Both Manga and Nash played extensively in the Aces' three exhibition games.  Manga scored the Evansville goal in a 1-1 draw with Saint Louis University in the first pre-season match, August 20.

The Aces open the regular season Friday against the Washington Huskies at the Nike Invitational at Portland, Ore.
