MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Kent State concluded the non-conference portion of the season with one of the best defensive performances in program history in a 46-31 victory over Robert Morris inside of the North Athletic Complex Student Rec Center Thursday morning.
The Golden Flashes (7-5) put together 40 minutes of stifling defense to allow the third-fewest points in program history and the fewest since Dec. 28, 1996. Kent State held the host Colonials (7-4) to just under half of their scoring average entering the contest on 25 percent shooting (13-for-52) from the field and 10.8 percent from beyond the arc (2-for-19).
