RICHMOND, Ky. (Interstat) — The Evansville Purple Aces seek their first win of the season when they visit the Eastern Kentucky Lady Colonels in a non-conference women’s basketball game Wednesday at McBrayer Arena.

Evansville (0-2) is coming off a 119-43 road loss to Iowa on Sunday. Camryn Runner led the Purple Aces with 10 points, three rebounds and three assists in that contest, while Logan Luebbers Palmer added a team-high 12 points. Evansville opened its season with a 71-66 loss at Southeast Missouri State on Nov. 6.

Eastern Kentucky (1-1) looks to rebound after a 56-51 home loss to SIU Edwardsville on Friday. Liz Freihofer scored 11 points and grabbed seven rebounds in the defeat, and Joseana Vaz nearly recorded a double-double with 12 points and nine rebounds. The Lady Colonels opened their season with a dominant 95-41 victory over Transylvania.

The matchup pits an Evansville team searching for its offensive rhythm against an Eastern Kentucky squad that showed a potent attack in its opener but was held to 51 points last time out. The Purple Aces continue a challenging season-opening road stretch, while the Lady Colonels play their third consecutive home game.
