RICHMOND, Ky. – After two consecutive losses on the road last weekend, the Eastern Kentucky University women’s soccer team will look to regroup on Friday with its first home match since August. The Colonels (2-3-1) will take on the Golden Flashes of Kent State (2-4) at EKU Soccer Field at 5:00 p.m.

The Colonel defense has been impressive since the season began. Led by junior defenders Jessica Goshert and Eva Hollenberg, EKU’s backline has only allowed five goals through six games this year. Sophomore keeper Stephanie Lynch has also contributed to that low number, starting every game in goal so for the Colonels and making 39 saves.

Offensively, the Colonels are led this year by a host of players. Senior forward Kayla Swearingen, freshman midfielder Heather Bruce, junior midfielder Lauren Imsande and senior midfielder Laura Caldon have all scored goals on the season, while sophomore forward Alex Hartwick and freshman midfielder Jessica Reed lead the Colonels with one assist each.

After this Friday’s game, the Colonels return to action on Sunday at Radford. Game time is set for 1:00 p.m.
