The women played perhaps their best game of the season in routing Toledo 87-68.

It was the most points the Flashes have scored this year against a Division I team. (They scored 92 against Hiram.)

The win moves Kent State into fourth place in the MAC. If they can hold it, they would get a first-round bye in the MAC Tournament next month.

Kent State scored all those points without leading scorer Nila Blackford, who is in concussion protocol after a fall in the Akron game.

But four players still scored in double figures. Katie Shumate had a career-high 24 points. She didn't miss any of her seven shots in the first quarter. Asiah Dingle had 22, 18 in the second half. She made her second 3-pointer of the season and had six assists (and only one turnover).

Lindsey Thall had 13 and became the third player in MAC history to make 100 three-pointers and block 100 shots.

Sophomore Hannah Young started in place of Blackford and led the team with seven rebounds and scored 12 points.

Kent State had a season-low six turnovers and outscored Toledo 30-4 (!) off of turnovers.
