JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Eastern Kentucky University women's basketball head coach Greg Todd was named Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year, senior forward Joseana Vaz earned ASUN Newcomer of the Year, and the Colonels collected eight additional postseason honors announced by the league office Monday morning.
 
Todd guided EKU through one of the most historic seasons in program history. He becomes the third head coach in school history to earn conference coach of the year honors and the seventh overall selection in program history. He is the first EKU coach to receive the honor since 2005.
 
The Colonels finished the 2025-26 regular season 24-7 overall and 15-3 in ASUN play. EKU's 24 victories tied the school record, while 15 conference wins marked the program's highest total since 2005. The Colonels captured the ASUN Regular Season Championship for the first time as a league member and secured their first conference title since 2005.
 
During the season, EKU climbed to a program-best No. 107 in the NCAA NET rankings on two occasions. Monday's recognition marks the fifth coach of the year award of Todd's career and his first at the Division I level.
 
Vaz was named ASUN Newcomer of the Year, First Team All-ASUN, and Academic All-ASUN after leading the Colonels with averages of 14.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game.
 
The Cape Verde native scored in double figures in 10 consecutive games from Jan. 24 through Feb. 25, highlighted by a career-high 33 points against Austin Peay on Feb. 7 and 22 points at Stetson on Feb. 21.
 
She becomes the second player in program history to earn conference newcomer of the year honors.
 
Senior guard Ndidiamaka Ndukwe was named ASUN Sixth Woman of the Year after emerging as the league's top reserve. The Inkster, Michigan, native averaged 10.6 points per game and recorded 11 double-figure scoring performances in conference play.
 
Ndukwe scored 20 or more points in three consecutive games from Jan. 10-17, posting 22 at Central Arkansas, a season-high 25 against Lipscomb, and 23 at Bellarmine.

Freihofer now owns three ASUN career honors after being named to the All-Freshman Team in 2025 and earning Preseason All-ASUN recognition entering the 2025-26 campaign. Monday's honors mark the first time EKU has had two first team selections since 1998.
 
Freshman Kenleigh Woods was selected to the ASUN All-Freshman Team after averaging 10.5 points and 2.7 assists per game while starting 29 of 31 contests.
