LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Eastern Kentucky kept its perfect Atlantic Sun Conference record intact as the Colonels defeated the shorthanded Bellarmine University women's basketball team 90-46 on Saturday afternoon in Knights Hall.

The conference's lone remaining undefeated team in league play, Eastern Kentucky (15-4, 6-0 ASUN) was paced by Ndidiamaka Ndukwe's game-high 23 points and 20 more from Kenleigh Woods. The ASUN's highest-scoring offense produced an even 50-percent shooting clip from the field and 11 3-pointers.

Sophomore forward Kayce Hyman set a new career high with 19 points for Bellarmine (2-17, 0-6) while sophomore guard Ava Smith matched her career best with 16 points, duplicating her total from Thursday's game against Austin Peay.

Due to its rash of injuries, Bellarmine was again down to seven players, including only five who were on the original 2025-26 roster. Freshman guard Olivia Pifer, a walk-on who joined the Knights this month, made her first collegiate start and racked up a game-high four steals.

Ndukwe and Jasmine Jordan, who finished with 15 points, combined for 25 points in the first half as EKU built a 44-24 lead. Freshman center Haya Abdel Aal contributed nine points and six rebounds for the Knights.

Bellarmine will host North Florida at 6:30 p.m. (ET) Thursday.
