LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Bellarmine University women's soccer team will conclude the regular season with a 1 p.m. (ET) Atlantic Sun Conference matchup Friday at Eastern Kentucky.

Bellarmine (5-10-2, 4-5-1 ASUN) and Eastern Kentucky (9-7-2, 6-3-1) are two of the seven teams in the conference who have clinched berths in the eight-team ASUN Tournament.

The Knights (13 points) will look to lock in the seven-seed — they can't improve their seeding but could drop to eighth depending upon their result and that of Jacksonville (11 points). The Colonels (19 points) are tied for fourth in the conference with North Florida and could possibly rise a spot or fall back to sixth.

ABOUT EASTERN KENTUCKY
Last week in ASUN play, Eastern Kentucky equalized its contest at Jacksonville in the 88th minute to pull out a 1-1 draw with the Dolphins before falling 2-1 at North Florida. The Colonels have had a pair of three-game winning streaks in conference action, including a 2-1 victory over current league leader FGCU. Ella Grode, Ana Manning and Maddy Murphy have registered four goals apiece for EKU.

LAST WEEK
Bellarmine played the first two of a three-game road stretch to end the regular season. The Knights fell 2-0 to both North Florida and Jacksonville. BU had scored in six straight ASUN matches prior to being shut out by the Ospreys and Dolphins. The Knights will look to rekindle their offense against EKU after compiling only two shots on goal combined against UNF and JU.

ASUN LEADERS
Emma Nicholson is tied for second in the ASUN in points (20), is tied for second in assists (six) and is tied for third in goals (seven). The senior midfielder/forward is also tied for fourth in the conference in total shots (44) while ranking fifth in shots on goal (22).
