Freshman Vital Kats buried her team-leading fourth goal of the season early in the first half, but the team couldn’t generate much more offense than that Thursday as Kent State and Xavier were held to a stalemate.
The Flashes (4-3-1) started off the game on the front foot. Kats nestled a shot into the bottom right hand corner of the goal off of a counter-attack in the 14th minute, thanks to a team-high third assist of the season from senior Hayden Pascoe. Kats and Pascoe also connected for the winning goal in the Flashes’ Senior Day win last Sunday against Dayton.
