Golden Flashes also challenge Michigan State in a non-league game on Sunday

The start of conference play is here for the Kent State field hockey team.  Having claimed at least a share of the last three Mid-American Conference regular season crowns, the Golden Flashes officially begin their title defense at Missouri State on Friday at 11:00 a.m. (Central).  Kent State also travels to Michigan State for a non-league game on Sunday this weekend.   

Scouting Kent State (2-6):
• The Golden Flashes are looking to rebound after losses at home to Ohio State (4-1) and No. 11 Cal (5-2) last weekend  
• Freshman goalie Jahna Jordan made 15 saves in the two games and heads into MAC play this weekend leading the league with 46 saves.  
• Senior back Amy Wimsatt has racked up five points in the last three games.  Wimsatt has recorded three assists during the stretch while recording her first goal of the season on Monday against Cal.  
• Freshman Paige Bordner also scored in Monday's rain soaked contest vs Cal.  Bordner is the seventh different Kent State player and the third freshman to score this season.  
• The Golden Flashes are 25-5 in MAC play over the past three seasons
