Eastern Kentucky hosts Little Rock on Thursday and Central Arkansas on Friday as the Colonels ride a program-record-tying 13-game winning streak. At 18-2 and unbeaten in eight conference matches, EKU is off to the best start in program history.

By the Numbers
  • EKU is 18-2 overall and 8-0 in United Athletic Conference play.
  • Emilee Hill leads the nation with 7 triple-doubles this season.
  • Both matches start at 6 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN+.
Yes, But

Central Arkansas is 6-12 overall but sits second in the conference at 6-2 after winning four straight league matches. The Sugar Bears lead the conference in blocks, a potential challenge for an EKU team that has recently excelled at the net.

State of Play
  • Little Rock is 8-12 overall and 2-6 in conference play, with three consecutive losses.
  • EKU has out-blocked opponents 51-22 over its last five matches.
  • Thursday’s match against Little Rock is free for Junior Colonel Club members; a Big E Rewards pop-up event is also planned before the match.
What’s Next

EKU first faces Little Rock, then turns to Central Arkansas on Friday. The back-to-back home matches give the Colonels a chance to extend their winning streak and maintain their unbeaten conference record.

Bottom Line

EKU enters the homestand with its strongest start ever and momentum on its side, but Central Arkansas’s conference standing and blocking strength make Friday’s matchup a meaningful test.
