RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University women’s soccer team will look to continue its hot start to Ohio Valley Conference play on the road this weekend as the Colonels travel to face league opponents Tennessee Tech on Friday at 4:00 p.m. and Jacksonville State on Sunday at 3:00 p.m.

EKU (3-6-1, 1-0-0 OVC) is fresh off its first-ever win over in-state rival and defending OVC champion Morehead State (4-4-2, 0-1-0 OVC), as the Colonels went on the road and defeated the Eagles, 1-0, last Friday night at Jayne Stadium. Freshman Stephany Ellison picked a great time to notch her first collegiate goal when she scored the game-winner from 25 yards out in the 84th minute off a pass from sophomore Nicole Donnelly.

TTU enters the weekend with a record of 3-8-1 (0-2-0 OVC). The Golden Eagles dropped a pair of conference road games last weekend, losing to Eastern Illinois, 2-0, on Friday before falling to SIU Edwardsville, 3-1, on Sunday. Kerri Reid leads TTU with three goals, while Andrea Meloff has contributed with a goal and two assists.

EKU is 3-3 all-time against TTU, as the Colonels clipped the Golden Eagles, 1-0, at EKU Soccer Field last year. Junior Katie Collar provided the game-winning assist to Carly Muller in the 50th minute of that game.

JSU enters its game with Morehead State on Friday with a record of 2-10-0 (1-1-0 OVC). The Gamecocks blanked SIUE, 1-0, last Friday before falling at EIU, 2-0, on Sunday. Nathalee Lariviere paces the JSU offense with two goals and an assist.

EKU is 4-2 all-time against JSU, and the Colonels dismantled the Gamecocks, 5-0, last year in Jacksonville. EKU set program records for goals (5) and points (13) in that game, while sophomores Donnelly, Janelle Coates and Sarah LeBrun all scored and sophomore Lauren Fant dished out two assists.
