A FEW NOTES
 
» Kennesaw State will host ASUN opponent Delaware State at home on Saturday, April 16 at 12:00 p.m. at Fifth Third Bank Stadium. 
 
» This is the fourth meeting between the Owls and the Hornets in program history. The Owls lead the series 3-0.  
 
» Siena Gore is the driving force behind the Owls' scoring production, as the senior midfielder is currently the nation's leading scorer at 67 total goals and second in goals per game (4.79). The Alphraetta, Ga. native is also second in the NCAA in points (83), and seventh in draw controls (8.29 pg). In her game against Jacksonville State on April 9, she became the fourth player in NCAA history to reach 300 career goals. 
 
» Gore isn't the only Owl that is shining in 2022. As a team, KSU is currently ranked sixth in the NCAA in shot percentage (.498) and 18th in free percentage (.500). Their 14.64 goals per game average is also the 24th-highest in the country.
 
» KSU is currently off to the best start in school history at 9-5, as the nine wins is also a new school standard.

» 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. 

SCOUNTING THE HORNETS
Attacker Rossella Nardi and midfielder Emmy McGill lead the Hornets in scoring with 12 goals each on the season. Protecting the net will be Moe Brown, who has 79 saves and a save percentage of .414 in seven starts this season.  
 
GORE HOLDS NATION'S TOP MARK IN 2022
In what is no surprise for the nation's leading scorer, Siena Gore's nine-goal performances against Butler on March 12 and Presbyterian on March 20 is currently the top mark in the NCAA this season. Those two single-game marks also tie her career high and is the KSU school record as well.
 
OWLS OFF TO SCHOOL-RECORD SETTING START
KSU's impressive start to the year has been one for the record books, as the team's 9-4 record in the first 13 games is the best-ever in the team's 10-year history. The previous best mark after 11 games was in 2017 when the team was 6-5, on the way to an 8-9 season. The team's nine wins are the most in program history as well.
 
OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION FOR THE OWLS
Graduate transfer McKenzie Jackson has accumulated 24 goals (second on the team) and 28 draw controls so far this season. The attacker was a two-time First-Team All-Sunshine State Conference selection for Embry-Riddle. Also ranking high on the squad is senior Chesslyn Lamar who is having a career season, and is currently third on the squad in goals (23) and tied for second in points (31).
 
JACKSON JOINS ASUN HONORS
Graduate transfer McKenzie Jackson picked up her first ASUN Player of the Week on April 5 after a six-goal effort against Stetson to open conference play. The award was the fifth consecutive Player of the Week award for the Owls.
