BOWLING GREEN, Ohio - Julie Studer scored 25 points to lead Kent State University to an 80-64 victory over the Bowling Green State University women's basketball team Saturday afternoon (Feb. 3). The Mid-American Conference game, held at BGSU's venerable Anderson Arena, was televised by Fox Sports Net Ohio.
Senior Angie Farmer led the Falcons with 16 points, while freshman Lindsay Austin tied her season best with 15 points, and junior Francine Miller added 11. The Falcons drop to 8-12 overall and 4-5 in MAC play, and BGSU has lost five consecutive MAC games for the first time in school history.
Carrie Nance joined Studer in double digits for the Golden Flashes (13-7, 8-2 MAC), scoring 17 points on the afternoon.
The Falcons forced KSU into 17 turnovers in the first half, but BG committed 15 miscues and shot just .250 (7-of-28) in the opening 20 minutes. As a result, the Flashes led by a 29-16 count at the break.
in the second half, the Falcons rallied to within seven, at the 15:53 mark, as Austin hit a free throw to make the score 35-28. But, after a timeout, KSU's Nance converted a conventional three-point play, starting a back-breaking 12-0 run over the next three minutes. When the smoke had cleared, the Flashes led by 19 points.
KSU upped the margin to as many as 28 points. The Falcons ended the game on an 11-2 run to cut the final deficit to 16.
Kent shot .607 in the second half en route to a .509 field-goal percentage for the game, while holding BG to a .379 success rate on the afternoon. KSU went 23-of-29 from the foul line to the Falcons' 8-of-11.
Senior Jackie Adlington scored nine points and led the Falcons in rebounding for the sixth consecutive game, with eight. KSU held a 40-32 advantage on the boards.
BGSU remains home for a Wednesday contest against Ohio University. Tipoff for that game is at 7:00 p.m.
