KENNESAW, Ga. – The Kennesaw State women's lacrosse team is back home for a pair of games at Fifth Third Bank Stadium this week, starting with Tuesday's contest against the Radford Highlanders. The game starts at 12 p.m. and will be streamed live on ESPN+.
 
A FEW NOTES
 
» This is the third meeting between the Owls and Highlanders in program history. The Owls are undefeated all-time against Radford with a record of 2-0. 
 
» Siena Gore is the driving force behind the Owls' scoring production. The midfielder was fourth in the nation in 2021 in goals per game and eighth in total goals, while also ranking first in free position goals per game at 2.36. This season, she's currently fifth in the NCAA in total goals (25), ninth in goals per game (4.2), and 14th in draw controls per game (7.2).
 
» Graduate transfer McKenzie Jackson has accumulated eight goals and 17 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 hopeful that experience will be an advantage for KSU this season.
 
» The Highlanders have struggled this season, bringing an 0-4 record into Fifth Third Bank Stadium. It's on offense where Radford has struggled as it has been outscored by a 69-23 margin this year, and have been held to five goals or less three times. Pacing the team this season is Margaret Gleason and River Rupert, both with five goals each. Olivia Hunter has played all 240 minutes in goal, and has 43 saves and a .384 save percentage. 
 
» Kennesaw State cruised in its most recent game, scoring the first six goals on the way to a 22-9 win at Wofford on March 5. The game marked the largest win margin (13 goals) since a 25-3 win at Howard in 2019, and was a season-high in goals for KSU as well.
 
» 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.
 
» 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.
