Flashes bow out of MAC tournament after 26 turnovers

Turnovers have been an issue all season for the Kent State women’s basketball team, never more apparent than in its season-ending 72-50 loss to Buffalo Wednesday.

Buffalo (26-4,17-2 Mid-American Conference) has proven it knows how to expose that weakness with a keen ability to cause giveaways (11.8 steals per game). The Bulls had 14 steals in their two previous meetings with Kent State (13-19, 5-14 MAC).

Wednesday, the Bulls forced 26 Flashes turnovers and stole the ball 20 times, which led to 41 points off turnovers. The Flashes were unable to respond in the second half.

A major contributing factor to the poor second-half play for Kent State was an apparent head injury suffered by sophomore guard Megan Carter with 4:42 left in the third quarter.
