Kent State women’s field hockey beat No. 5 Longwood University 2-1 Friday to advance to Saturday’s Mid-American Conference championship game at Miami University.
“This win felt really good especially since we didn’t see the results against them last weekend,” coach Kyle Desandes-Moyer said. “It definitely felt good to face Longwood again and we were really excited with how the team played and excited for tomorrow.”
The Flashes offense took 21 total shots and both goals were scored by senior forward Laila Richter in the third and fourth.
“We came out very strong from the beginning of the game and we put a ton of pressure on them offensively,” Desandes-Moyer said.
