PITTSBURGH – Redshirt senior Megan Carter sank a floater in the lane with 0.2 remaining on the clock to give Kent State a 77-75 season-opening victory over Duquesne inside of PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday evening.
The Preseason All-MAC East Division selection, who scored eight of her 12 points in the final period, received a return pass after inbounding the ball with 4.3 seconds remaining and was able to create enough separation to get the shot over the defender.
The Golden Flashes (1-0) fought back after trailing by 13 on multiple occasions during the second period.
