The Eastern Kentucky University women's soccer squad is set to hit the road this Sunday, heading to Farmers National Bank Field for a noon ET showdown with Youngstown State.
Just a week earlier the Colonels celebrated a 5‑0 victory over Cleveland State, breaking a scoreless halftime deadlock with a flurry of second‑half goals.
Key Performances
Freshman Hinami Ogushi opened her NCAA career with a header off a Calista Everson free kick in the 55th minute, while Emma Wolf assisted in the 64th minute. Robin Reilly made her debut, recording two assists in 44 minutes of action.
Chiara Premoli converted a penalty kick in the 58th minute, and Avery May sealed the win with a goal in the 80th minute, completing a five‑goal burst.
The team controlled 53 percent of possession and out‑shot the opposition 14‑8, a statistical edge that underscored the coaching staff's confidence.
Head coach Matt Cosinuke, now in his eighth season, has steered the Colonels to a 10‑7 record against Horizon League opponents and a four‑match winning streak that includes an 11‑1 goal differential.
The two programs last met in 2024, with EKU edging a 1‑0 victory, and the Colonels have not lost to a Horizon League opponent since 2023.
Youngstown State arrives with a 0‑2‑1 record, having drawn 1‑1 against Kent State, and fields three all‑conference selections — Sara Felder, Kamryn Rosa and midfielder Camille Bultel, who contributed 19 of the team’s 29 goals last season.
