FLORENCE, Ala. – The Eastern Kentucky University soccer team begins its quest towards the Atlantic Sun Conference Championship on Thursday night against Queens (4-6-7, 2-3-6 ASUN) at North Alabama's Bill Jones Athletic Complex.
 
Thursday's opening round match is scheduled for an 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff and can be viewed on ESPN+. Fans looking to make the trip can purchase tickets on the Lions' website here.
 
The Colonels (5-8-5, 4-3-4 ASUN) enter the tournament with a 1-0 win over Bellarmine last Saturday. The win marked the first in program history against the in-state foe and moved EKU to four conference wins which tied the program record as a member institution in the league.
 
EKU and Queens met earlier this season and played to a nil-nil draw. Offensively, forward Jami Anderson led the Colonels with what was a season-high six shots, three on target, leading the Colonels to a wide 14-6 shot advantage over the Royals.
 
With a win over Queens, EKU would move on to the quarterfinals round to face host school North Alabama on Sunday, Oct. 29.
