Starkey staying positive despite women’s basketball COVID-19 shutdown

COVID-19 issues have shut down women’s basketball practice, but coach Todd Starkey said he still feels positive about his 2020-2021 team.

“From what I understand, just about every team has had some level of pause with practice at one point or another,” Starkey said Friday morning. “So we’re kind of going through that and just listening to local health authorities and our medical professionals on that stuff. By and large, as a team we’re very healthy.”

Kent State University and the Mid-American Conference require regular COVID-19 testing of players, with the frequency of testing increasing as the season approaches.
