EVANSVILLE, Ind.- University of Southern Indiana Women's and Men's Golf will match up once again against the University of Evansville on Friday at Fendrich Golf Course for another edition of the crosstown clash.
 
Friday's format will feature a singles match between each respective side's top men's player and a partnered four-ball in the rest of the groupings between the men's and women's teams. The four-ball groupings will pit two USI players against two UE players, with the best score between partners counting for each hole.
 
Following similar rules to professional match-play events, a point will be awarded to the winner of each hole. A tie will result in a hole being halved. The trophy will be awarded to the team that has won the most points overall after the men's and women's scores have been tallied together.
