RICHMOND, Ky. (Interstat) — The Eastern Kentucky Lady Colonels look to continue their strong start to the season when they host the struggling North Dakota Fighting Hawks in a non-conference women’s basketball game Sunday at McBrayer Arena.

Eastern Kentucky (2-1) is coming off an 83-60 home victory over Evansville on Wednesday. The Lady Colonels’ offense was balanced, with Liz Freihofer leading the way with 13 points, five rebounds, four assists and two blocks. Althea Kara Angeles added 11 points and five rebounds, while Kenleigh Woods chipped in 12 points and four assists. Their lone loss was a 56-51 defeat to SIU Edwardsville.

North Dakota (0-3) seeks its first win after falling 67-43 at Green Bay on Tuesday. Despite the loss, forward Ava Miller hauled in a remarkable 18 rebounds to go with nine points. London Harris also scored nine points for the Fighting Hawks, who have lost their three games by an average of 20.3 points.

The teams will meet again just two days later in Grand Forks, N.D., for a quick home-and-home series. Sunday’s contest tips off a stretch where Eastern Kentucky plays five of its next six games at home. North Dakota continues a challenging early-season road swing.
