The Kent State women’s basketball team was right where it wanted to be after 20 minutes of play in Wednesday's game against Ball State University.
Senior guard Larissa Lurken made two key defensive stops right before the break, and freshman guard Ali Poole hit a big three-pointer in the waning seconds of the half that cut the Cardinals' lead to 36-33 at the half.
This all proved to be for naught, however, as the Flashes (6-8, 0-2 Mid-American Conference) were only able to muster 14 points in the second half and eventually succumbed to Ball State (9-5, 2-0 MAC) by a final score of 71-47.
