KENT, Ohio – The Kent State women's lacrosse team is set to begin their 2025 campaign on Friday with the team's season-opener on the road at George Mason, before a Sunday afternoon matchup at George Washington to conclude the opening weekend.

ABOUT THE FLASHES
Kent State enters 2025 following a 2024 campaign which saw the Flashes tally an overall record of 6-11 and 3-3 in MAC play, narrowly missing out on the MAC tournament. A key returner for the Flashes is Zayda Crumpton, who is back for her junior year. As a sophomore in 2024, Crumpton earned All-MAC First Team honors after tallying 34 goals and 20 assists in 17 games played and started. The Flashes also have another pair of 2024 All-MAC honorees returning as Morgan Halli and Sydney Davis are back after being named to the MAC All-Freshman Team. Halli recorded 17 goals and eight assists in 2024, while Davis tallied 76 saves in 13 games played and eight games started in net.

George Mason made the conference tournament to end the season, falling in the opening round to no. 3 Davidson 17-4.
