Indiana State University Athletics issued the following announcement on Aug. 23
Indiana State forward Mackenzie Kent was named Freshman of the Week by the Missouri Valley Conference on Monday, August 23, for her performances against Eastern Illinois and Northern Illinois last week.
Kent totaled four shots with three on goal over the two matches including a game-tying goal in the 90th minute against Northern Illinois. Katie Yankey found Kent open and she beat the keeper with a shot at the top of the net to ultimately send the game into overtime. That was the first goal of her college career.
In Thursday's season opener against Eastern Illinois, Kent logged 50 minutes in her first career start. She started again Sunday at Northern Illinois, playing 78 minutes.
The Sycamores will travel to Columbia, Mo. on Thursday for a match against Missouri at 7 p.m. ET before returning home to face UT Martin in their home opener on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at Memorial Stadium.
