The Kent State women’s basketball took a 16 point lead into halftime but proceeded to struggle with their shooting and focus. The Flashes were able to get some late defensive stops and were able to hang on for a 55-51 win.
“We still haven’t put four good quarters together yet,” coach Todd Starkey said. “I’m still waiting for us to be able to do that.”
A strong start for Kent State made an easy win look imminent. The Flashes played an aggressive game, resulting in 25 rebounds and 19 points from turnovers in the first half.
“In the first quarter we just got out and we ran and that’s our game plan every game, is to get downhill," senior guard Alexa Golden said,
Kent State finished the first quarter minutes with a 20-7 lead, which helped them head into the locker room leading by a sizable margin.
