KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State women's lacrosse team looks for a third straight victory on Sunday afternoon as it hosts the Mercer Bears. The game starts at 1 p.m. at Fifth Third Bank Stadium and will be streamed live on ESPN+, with Brandon Sutton and Jordan Griffitt providing the call.
 
A FEW NOTES
 
» This is the eighth meeting between the Owls and the Bears. The Owls are looking for their first win since the first meeting. 
 
» Siena Gore is the driving force behind the Owls' scoring production. The midfielder was fourth in the nation in 2021 in goals per game with 4.79, while her 67 total goals were eighth overall in the NCAA. Gore also ranked first in the nation in free position goals per game at 2.36. This season she has 11 goals, 18 draw controls and two assists in three games. 
 
» Graduate transfer McKenzie Jackson has accumulated five goals and nine draw controls so far this season. The attacker was a two-time First-Team All-Sunshine State Conference selection for Embry-Riddle.
 
» One advantage for Kennesaw State heading into the schedule, the Owls return nine of 11 starters from last year's squad, and a total of 20 overall players. Sixth-year head coach Laura Maness is hopefully that experience will be an advantage for KSU this season.
 
» The Bears are currently 1-1 on the season after dropping their most recent game against USC. Their home-opener resulted in a win against Oregon. Across the two games, Hailey Rhatigan leads points with six goals and five assists. Shannon Urey has added seven goals of her own. Protecting the cage this season is Iseabal Cryne, who has 31 saves and a .534 save percentage across two games. 
 
» Kennesaw State claimed its first-ever victory over a Power Five school on Feb. 20 when it held off the Oregon Ducks for 14-13 victory. That was also the first-ever victory for KSU against the Pac-12 Conference, after dropping a pair of games to Arizona State in the all-time history of the program.
 
» The Owls swept the ASUN Player of the Week awards in week two of competition. Siena Gore brought home Offensive Player of the Week after accumulating five goals, two assists and five draw controls. Errin Crowe earned the first Defensive Player of the Week of her career with a career high eight saves and save percentage of .533. 
 
» The Owls hosts the final home game in the four-game homestand home as they welcome Temple to Fifth-Third Bank Stadium on Wednesday, March 2 at 3 p.m.
