The Lead

 

KENNESAW, Ga. - Senior Day for Kennesaw State (10-15, 6-6 Atlantic Sun Conference) Saturday afternoon is set to mark the end of the 2023-24 regular season home slate against the Stetson Hatters (14-12, 9-3 ASUN) inside the KSU Convocation Center.

The Black and Gold look to extend their win streak over the DeLand, Fla. squad to three games which would secure the longest win streak by KSU in the series.

KSU will honor the 2023-24 senior class that features Kyndall Golden, Carly Hooks and Kayla Massop.

Saturday marks the final home regular season contest for Kennesaw State as a member of the ASUN before moving to Conference USA on July 1. The Owls have been in the Atlantic Sun since joining NCAA Division I in 2005.
