Wear starts to show as Flashes go to OT again, fall to Bowling Green

With two seconds on the clock in overtime, the Kent State women’s basketball team went back to sophomore forward Nila Blackford to win the game.

Blackford had scored the go-ahead bucket just eight seconds before, but after Bowling Green State University responded she was asked to do it again.

Blackford caught an inbound pass and drove inside, but was converged on by three BGSU defenders and her shot was blocked.

Coach Todd Starkey protested for a foul and the Flashes remained on the court, but the game was over, with Kent State falling to Bowling Green 80-79 for its first home loss of the season.
