Kent State flying the flag at Oklahoma State highlights this weekend’s MAC women’s basketball action

The Mid-American Conference women’s basketball teams took on three undefeated power conference teams on Sunday, and managed to get one win.

Kent State’s Katie Shumate was big down the stretch, and Corynne Houser hit the go-ahead layup with four seconds and change remaining to knock off the previously unbeaten Oklahoma State. Shumate finished with 23 points in the 59-56 victory. While the Golden Flashes are only sitting at 2-2 early in the season, they have six winnable games left before the start of conference play. As a bonus, those two losses are to power conference teams, which could put Kent State in a decent position for the NET Rankings come January.
