Notes:
- Tuesday marks the first time Kent State has ever competed in the Red Raider Invitational. The Flashes have competed at The Rawls Golf Course once before, participating in the 2005 NCAA Central Regional contested at the course.
- After qualifying for the NCAA Championships as an individual last season, Veronika Kedronova picked up where she left off to open the season at the Boilermaker Classic. The reigning MAC freshman of the year finished tied for ninth at 6-over-par, highlighted by an opening round 72.
- Freshman Gracie Larsen clinched an impressive start to her collegiate career at the Boilermaker Classic, notching a top-ten finish. Larsen concluded the tournament tied for ninth place, shooting a 6-over-par with back-to-back 73s in rounds two and three.
- Aryn Matthews also recorded an impressive start to her collegiate career. The freshman finished the Boilermaker Classic in 14th place at 7-over-par, fueled by a final round 73.
- Despite opening her season with a T-66 finish at the Boilermaker Classic, Leon Takagi will still seek to lead the Flashes. The junior was the MAC golfer of the year last season and held the fourth-best career scoring average (73.12) in Kent State history entering this season.
- Isabella Goyette makes her second career appearance for the Flashes after competing at the Boilermaker Classic. The freshman finished her first collegiate tournament tied for 37th place after shooting 15-over-par.
