For the first time in program history, Kent State women's basketball has two Academic All-Americans in the same season. Jordan Korinek and Larissa Lurken have been named to the Second Team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday.
The duo joins just 13 other players nationwide to receive the honor. Kent State is the only school in the nation to have two players selected. The last Golden Flash honored as an Academic All-American was Lindsay Shearer in 2006. Korinek and Lurken join just three other players to ever receive the accolade in Kent State history.
