The Kent State women’s basketball team found itself in a familiar position — losing by double-digits in the second half — during its 80-76 overtime win at Toledo in the first round of the Mid-American Conference tournament on Monday.
Toledo (17-14, 8-11 Mid-American Conference) went on a 16-2 run midway through the second quarter that extended its lead to 36-23 with 2:37 left. The Rockets lead eventually ballooned to 17 with 2:16 left in the 3rd quarter.
Then, Kent State sophomore guard Megan Carter took over, scoring seven points during an 11-2 run, including a three-point runner at the buzzer to make the score 55-47 in Toledo’s favor heading into the fourth quarter.
