Women’s Basketball Faces Old Conference Foe SIUE on Friday Afternoon

Colonels Seeking Second 2-0 Start in Greg Todd Era

RICHMOND, Ky. – The Eastern Kentucky University women's basketball team renews an old rivalry Friday afternoon, hosting former Ohio Valley Conference foe SIU Edwardsville inside the Seabury Center on the campus of Berea College. Tipoff is scheduled for noon ET.
 
Single-game tickets are available for purchase online here. All seating will be general admission at the Seabury Center. Fans can find additional game day information, including parking, entrances, and ticketing on EKUSports.com here.
 
The game will stream live on ESPN+ with Wes Chandler (play-by-play) and Kent Miller (analyst) on the call. Fans can also listen on the Colonel All-Access page and EKU women's basketball X page beginning at 11:30 a.m. ET.
 
EKU (1-0) opened the season with a 95-41 win over Transylvania University on Monday night. Sophomore guard Liz Freihofer led the Colonels with 19 points, including a career-best six 3-pointers.
 
Freshman guard Kenleigh Woods added 16 points in her collegiate debut, going 6-for-8 from the field. She was one of five Colonels to score in double figures.
 
EKU shot 57 percent from the floor and knocked down 13 3-pointers in the win. The 13 made threes tied a single-game program record in the Greg Todd era for the fourth time.
 
Following Friday's game in Berea, the Colonels will return to Baptist Health Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 12, just two days after the venue's public unveiling with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and the men's game against Western Kentucky.
