RICHMOND, Ky. - After a two-game road trip, the Eastern Kentucky University women's soccer team returns to EKU Soccer Field with a chance to clinch the United Athletic Conference Blue Division title in its home finale against North Alabama on Sunday.
 
First touch is set for 1 p.m. ET, with coverage on ESPN+ and live stats available.
 
The Colonels (8-5-3, 4-1-2 UAC) can secure the division title with a win or draw.
 
Last week, EKU fell at Tarleton State on Thursday before earning a 1-1 draw at Red Division leader Abilene Christian on Sunday.
 
Jordan LeVasseur's penalty kick save in the 71st minute kept the Colonels within striking distance before Rachel Phifer equalized three minutes later, collecting a through ball from Chiara Premoli and lofting a shot into the top-right corner.
 
EKU is unbeaten in its last 12 conference home matches, posting a 9-0-3 record dating back to 2024.
 
The Colonels feature a balanced attack with nine different goal scorers, including five with at least three goals this season. Avery May leads the team with 16 points and holds the team lead in both goals and assists.
 
EKU has scored 25 goals while averaging 13.4 shots per match.
 
In goal, LeVasseur is coming off a seven-save performance at Abilene Christian. The sophomore ranks second in the UAC in saves and has allowed the second-fewest goals in the conference.
 
North Alabama (5-4-5, 2-3-2 UAC) enters Sunday following a 2-0 loss to Central Arkansas. The Lions sit second in the Blue Division with eight points.
 
The teams met earlier this season in Florence, where EKU earned a 3-2 victory. Premoli opened the scoring with a penalty kick before May doubled the lead in the 22nd minute. After North Alabama cut the deficit in half, Robin Reilly scored the eventual game-winner in the 36th minute.
 
The Lions have scored 21 goals this season, led by Meg Welsh's four goals and two assists. While defensively goalkeeper Emily Dorfman has recorded 55 saves while allowing 15 goals.
 
EKU holds a 3-0-4 advantage in the all-time series and will look to remain unbeaten against the Lions while securing the division title in front of its home crowd.
