When the Kent State women's basketball team matched up against No. 14 Stanford, the 25-point difference in the final score didn’t tell the full story.
Kent State played better than the Cardinal at times, but ultimately the No. 14 team in the country asserted their dominance.
“Anybody who was here and watched the game knows it was closer than a 25-point game,” coach Todd Starkey said. “We learned some things about ourselves, and I was happy with our toughness. In spots, we outplayed them, no question about it. But over the course of the game, their size and talent kind of caught up with us.
