They were two very big wins, both on the road and both over good mid-majors that won a combined 41 games last season.

For the second straight game, it took a fourth-quarter rally to get the Flashes on track. KSU trailed Youngstown by seven going into the fourth quarter, then outscored them 34-19 in the last quarter and overtime.

Five Kent State players scored in double figures again. Megan Carter and Asiah Dingle had 18 each and Lindsay Thall 10, including two fouls shots that tied the game at the end of regulation.

Freshman Katie Shumate had 16 points and eight rebounds. In two games she's had 33 points and played almost 80 minutes.

Freshman Nila Blackford had a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds. lIn two games, she's had 25 points and 19 rebounds.

Full story with quotes from Dingle and Starkey is on the blog at http://wbbflashes.com.[/i]

Glad they could win both games while their freshmen and others are learning on the fly.
