MOREHEAD, Ky. - Coming off a big win last weekend, the University of Evansville women's basketball team makes the trip east to challenge Morehead State on Friday evening in Morehead, Ky.

Â
Friday's contest represents just the seventh all-time meeting between the Aces and Eagles with Evansville owning a 4-2 advantage in the series. Despite just seven all-time matchups between the two, Friday's game represents the fourth matchup in the series in the last five years. Last meeting on Dec. 11, 2021, Evansville captured a convincing 79-49 win over Morehead State with Abby Feit and Myia Clark combining for 30 points to lead the way for UE.
The Eagles enter the matchup with a 3-4 overall record and have won three-straight, including a 104-54 victory over Brescia on Wednesday night. 5-4 guard Veronica Charles powers the Morehead State offense, averaging a team-best 11.7 points per game to go along with nearly five rebounds per contest.
Saturday's 97-72 win over Miami (Ohio) saw impressive performances across the board in what was truly a team victory for the Aces. Evansville saw six players finish in double-figures for the first time since the 2017-18 campaign and both Feit and Barbora Tomancova tallied double-doubles in the win. The Aces have a diverse set of offensive weapons in the first five games of the season with four players averaging 10-or-more points per game and another at over eight points per contest. Two newcomers have shown to make an immediate impact for UE with Tomancova marking 10 points and seven rebounds per game and freshman guard Kynidi Mason Striverson proving her ability to run the offense and provide some herself with over eight points and three assists per contest. The leading score for Evansville, fifth-year guard A'Niah Griffin, has proven to need little time to rack-up the points, averaging a team-best 14.2 points in just 21 minutes per game, the sixth-highest minutes per game on the team.
