Ten Golden Flashes Named to Softball Academic All-MAC Team

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Kent State softball program continues to succeed at a high level both on the field and in the classroom, as the 2017 Mid-American Conference Tournament champions had 10 student-athletes earn Academic All-MAC honors, the conference office announced on Wednesday (May 31).

Eight of the Golden Flashes' honorees started one or more games during NCAA Regional play in Waco, Texas last week, and all 11 made at least 20 starts during the season.

Seniors Maddy Grimm and Janel Hayes claimed academic all-conference honors for the third consecutive year.
