Junior Ines Delpech gave Kent State a first-half lead, but the Flashes couldn’t hold on and fell 2-1 at No. 19 American in Wednesday’s NCAA field hockey tournament play-in match.
Juniors Silvia Figa Malgosa and Jessica Nesbitt assisted on the lone goal.
The Golden Flashes ended the season with a 14-7 record, the most wins in a season since 2010, and with a fifth consecutive MAC title.
