Notes:
Veronika Kedronová leads the Golden Flashes into the final regular-season event following a standout spring that included her third medalist honor of the season at the Lady Luck Invitational and a tied-for-seventh finish at the Clemson Invitational, where her three-round total of 213 (-3) marked her best 54-hole score of the spring. Kedronová most recently represented Kent State at the Augusta National Women's Amateur, where she tied for 53rd after posting back-to-back 74s at Champions Retreat Golf Club. The junior's 43rd career round of par or better at Clemson moved her into a tie for fifth on the program's all-time list.
Leon Takagi, the lone senior in the lineup, enters her final regular-season tournament off a strong showing at Clemson, where her final-round 2-under 70 was the lowest round by a Golden Flash on day three. The Tokyo, Japan, native has been a steady presence at the top of the Kent State lineup throughout the spring.
Isabella Goyette posted an even-par 72 in the opening round at Clemson and carried consistent scoring across the tournament, with multiple even-par nines en route to a top-25 finish.
Petra Babicová has played four tournaments this spring, highlighted by a 19th-place finish at the Lady Luck Invitational and a 24th-place finish at the UCF Challenge.
Aryn Matthews looks to build on a strong fall campaign that included four top-25 finishes and one top-10. Matthews last competed at the UCF Challenge, where she finished 68th, and finished 12th at the Therese Hession Buckeye Invitational a year ago.
Kent State has posted six top-five team finishes this season, including five top-three results - a win at the Wolverine Invitational in September and runner-up finishes at the Lady Luck Invitational, the Canadian Collegiate, and the Blessings Collegiate.
