Notes
Kent State has been successful this season, consistently finishing in the top five in six tournaments, including top-three finishes in five. The Golden Flashes won the Wolverine Invitational in September and were runners-up last time out at the Lady Luck Invitational, as well as in consecutive events in September at the Canadian Collegiate and the Blessings Collegiate.
No. 12 Veronika Kedronová has been steadily gaining ground on the course, earning her third medalist honor last time out at the Lady Luck Invitational, where she finished 2-under-par for the tournament. Kedronová leads the team this year with five rounds in the 60s and 12 rounds of par or better.
Leon Takagi is looking to bounce back from a 42nd-place finish at the Lady Luck but has four top-five finishes this season in her back pocket. Takagi has shown a strong streak, with two rounds in the 60s and eight rounds of par or better.
Isabella Goyette, fresh off her third top-10 finish this season at the Lady Luck, is looking to continue strong play. Goyette has completed six rounds of par or better this year, with 11 total in her career, including one at the Lady Luck.
Petra Babicová, coming off her best finish of the season with a top-20 at the Lady Luck and her third top-20 of her career, looks to continue that hot streak. Babicová shot her low round of the year in the second round of the Lady Luck with a 1-under-par 71.
Gracie Larsen, the reigning Mid-American Conference Freshman of the Year, is looking to recapture the magic from the Blessings, where she earned her first top-five finish of the year. Larsen's best round of the spring was an even-par 72 at the Spartan Suncoast in February.
