Eastern Kentucky at North Dakota
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (Interstat) — The Eastern Kentucky Lady Colonels look to complete a two-game road sweep of North Dakota when the teams meet again Tuesday at Engelstad Arena.
Eastern Kentucky (3-1) defeated the Fighting Hawks 57-46 on Sunday in Richmond, Ky. Kailani Lindsey led the Lady Colonels with 18 points, while Liz Freihofer added 13 points and nine rebounds. Ella Bradley chipped in 10 points and five rebounds.
The Lady Colonels have won three straight since a season-opening loss to SIU Edwardsville.
North Dakota (0-4) is still seeking its first win. In Sunday’s loss, Walker Demers posted 13 rebounds and three blocks, while Ava Miller nearly had a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds. The Fighting Hawks have struggled offensively, failing to score more than 58 points in any game this season.
The quick turnaround gives North Dakota an immediate chance for revenge on its home court. Eastern Kentucky will aim to maintain its momentum before hosting Midway on Saturday. North Dakota’s next opportunity for a win, if not Tuesday, comes Friday at home against Wyoming.
