Gore Named KSU's ASUN Winner For Life For Spring 2022

KENNESAW, Ga. - Kennesaw State women's lacrosse star closes out the month of June with one more accolade to add to her impressive senior season haul, as she was one of 12 student-athletes named to the ASUN 2021-22 Spring Winners for Life Team this week. The team is composed of one student-athlete from each of the 12 institutions and honors those who display excellence on and off the playing surface.

Gore wrapped up her outstanding season and five-year career at Kennesaw State in June when she became the first player in ASUN Conference history to reach 100 points in a season. That came just one day after she became the first two-time ASUN Player of the Year, while also picking up ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year recognition for a clean sweep of the league individual awards. That was followed a week later by yet another first by a KSU Owl, when Gore was selected to the IWLCA (Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association) All-South Region Second Team. She capped off May by becoming the first-ever Owl to earn All-American status when she was named an Inside Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-American.

The first-ever player to be named All-ASUN First Team four times, the Alpharetta native led the nation in scoring for the majority of the season, and finished fourth in the NCAA with a new career, KSU and ASUN record-setting 80 goals, while all-time she is the fourth-leading scorer in NCAA history with 313 goals. She was the key factor for an Owl team that claimed the first winning season in school history, breaking the record for most wins in a season by three games with an 11-7 mark. Gore ranked in the top 10 in the nation in seven categories, including fifth in total points, and she also ranked fifth in draw controls per game at 8.61, while her 155 for the year shattered her previous career record. Gore led the ASUN in goals, points, free position goals and draw controls, and earned a league-high four Player of the Week honors.

She graduated in May with her master's degree in Systems Engineering, after receiving her bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering Technology in just three years. She held a perfect 4.0 GPA all three years of her undergraduate career as well both years in graduate school. She also claimed Academic All-ASUN honors for the third time in her career. Earlier this month, she became the first CoSIDA Academic All-American selection in school history (first team) as well as the seventh overall athlete in KSU History to earn the distinction.
