The exam was performed in the hours after a March 13 team party, where the accuser and another woman were hired to perform as strippers. The accuser told police she was raped by three players at the party, according to a search warrant filed by police.
But Evans’ attorneys said in the motion that the accuser changed her story several times in the hours following the party, including telling a nurse at one point that she was assaulted only by two men.
In April, a grand jury indicted team members Reade Seligmann of Essex Fells, N.J., and Collin Finnerty of Garden City, N.Y., on charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual assault. Evans, a team co-captain from Bethesda, Md., was indicted on the same charges in May.
Attorneys for all three have strongly proclaimed their clients’ innocence.
The allegations led the university to cancel the remainder of the season for the highly ranked team, which reached the national-title game in 2005. The team’s coach also resigned.
