Kent State had a chance to inbound the ball down a point with 4.3 seconds remaining Wednesday night against Northern Illinois.
After a timeout, sophomore guard Ali Poole looked for Megan Carter near the three-point line. Her bounce pass was cut off by the outstretched arm of the Huskies’ Mikayla Voigt, who was immediately fouled by Carter.
Off the ensuing inbounds pass, the Huskies knew who to look for: Courtney Woods, a junior guard and forward from Australia who had lit up the Flashes all night.
Woods sunk one of the two free throws for her 39th point of the night, tying her career high, dealing the Flashes (8-6, 1-1 Mid-American Conference) the final blow, leading to Northern Illinois’ (9-4, 1-1 MAC) first conference win, 81-79.
