OXFORD, Ohio – The Kent State Field Hockey defeated App State 1-0 on Wednesday afternoon in the MAC quarterfinals for the Golden Flashes first conference tournament victory since 2024.
The win brings Kent State to a much-anticipated MAC Semifinals matchup with MAC regular season champion UMass tomorrow at 11:30 in the morning. The other semifinal matchup will be between host-school Miami (OH) and No. 3-seeded James Madison after the Dukes shutout Ohio 2-0 earlier today.
The big story in Kent State's victory over App State was the dominant performance in goal by graduate transfer Michaela Skinner.
