KENT STATE (8-6, 1-1 MAC) VS. WESTERN MICHIGAN (8-6, 1-1 MAC)

THE GAMEAfter playing 12 of its first 14 games away from the M.A.C. Center, the Kent State women’s basketball

kicks off a mini two-game homestand on Saturday against Western Michigan.After winning the conference opener for the first time since 2010-11, the Golden Flashes allowed a

lead to slip away in the final quarter Wednesday at Northern Illinois. Kent State held its largest lead of the game, 69-61, with 8:05 remaining before shooting just 2-for-6 while committing seven turnovers the rest of the way. The Flashes had the ball with the shot clock turned off and a chance to take the lead but missed a contested layup and then turned the ball over.

Kent State is No. 22 in the country in free throws made (226) and has converted 12 more shots from the charity stripe than their opponents have even attempted. The Flashes’ defense has been a key to success, as they lead the MAC in defensive rebounding percentage (.721), are second in rebounding margin (+6.6) and third in scoring defense (62.7 ppg).

Senior Jordan Korinek leads the Flashes in scoring (19.5 ppg) and is averaging 24.0 ppg in league games. Korinek is pulling down 5.6 rpg, shoots better than 50 percent from the floor and her 79 made free throws rank 13th nationally. Redshirt sophomore Megan Carter (16.5) has provided an offensive boost with her return to the lineup and has set a new career scoring high in both games. Graduate student McKenna Stephens (10.1 ppg) averages a team-best 6.1 rpg.

Western Michigan had its four-game winning streak snapped Wednesday in a 71-49 loss at Buffalo and is just 2-4 in true road games this season. The Broncos average 69.3 ppg and are tied with the Flashes for third in the conference in scoring defense (62.7 ppg). Defending the three-point line has been a strength with opponents shooting just 26.9 percent from long range, which ranks 26th nationally.

Sixth-year head coach Shane Clipfell uses a deep rotation with 10 players who have appeared in at least 10 games and average at least 10 minutes per game.

All-MAC forward Breanna Mobley is the team’s top scorer (15.5 ppg) and rebounder (8.6 rpg) and ranks 20th in the country with 4.0 offensive rebounds per game. Center Marley Hill adds 10.1 rpg and 5.7 rpg, while guard Deja Wimby averages 8.3 ppg and 4.9 apg.

THE GOLDEN FLASHES NICKNAMEThe origin of the nickname “Golden Flashes” has

been a topic of debate. According to documentation in Phillip Shiver’s book, The Years of Youth, widely regarded as historically correct, the reason for Kent State’s nickname is noted in a letter to Linda Baughman, dated Aug. 6, 1959. Merle Wagoner recalled that the change in the name of Kent State athletics teams from “Silver Foxes” to “Golden Flashes” occurred in 1926 after the dismissal of President John E. McGilvrey (Kent State’s first nickname originated from McGilvrey, who had a silver fox farm east of campus).

With Acting President T. Howard Winters providing the impetus, a contest was held (with a $25 first prize) to select the new name. No special significance was attached to the winning suggestion, which was used first in 1927 by the basketball team after it had been approved by the student body and the faculty athletic committee. Also laying claim to the origin was Oliver Wolcott, one-time Kent State grid great who played center on the 1921 and 1922 teams. As former sports editor of the Kent Courier Tribune, the local newspaper, the name “Silver Foxes” seemed pretty frail to him. So, during the 1927 football season, he began referring to the team as “Golden Flashes.” 640 WHLO / IHEARTRADIO• All Kent State games can be heard live on 640

todd Starkey enters his second season as the head women’s basketball coach at Kent State after being hired as the program’s sixth head coach in april 2016.

Starkey was named 2017 Mid-american Conference Coach of the Year for his efforts in guiding Kent State to one of biggest turnarounds in nCaa Division I women’s basketball during his first season on the sidelines. The Golden Flashes finished the season with a 19-13 overall record and

had the nation’s largest RPI improvement, jumping 222 spots from the previous season, and the fifth most-improved record in the country. Despite being picked to finish last in the preseason, Kent State put together a 13-5 conference mark to win the program’s first MAC East Division title since 2004-05. The regular season ended with a seven-game winning streak, which surpassed the number of conference games the team had won over the previous two seasons combined.

Behind the strength of five wins against RPI Top 100 teams, the Flashes received an at-large bid to the WNIT for the first time since the 2010-11 season. An angry Michigan squad that felt it deserved to play in the NCAA Tournament awaited Kent State in the opening round. Down by 21 points at halftime, the Flashes fought back to within five with just over two minutes to play before falling, 67-60. the Wolverines went on to claim the WnIt championship.

the 20-year coaching veteran came to Kent State after spending two seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana, where he was responsible for assisting with the program’s recruiting, practice and game preparation, scouting reports, scheduling, player development and technology applications.

During his second season in Bloomington in 2015-16, he helped lead the Hoosiers to a historic year as the team made its fifth NCAA Tournament appearance and grabbed its first win in the NCAA Tournament since 1983. Indiana finished the season with a 21-12 record, tying the school wins record, and was a perfect 14-0 at home. The Hoosiers finished fourth in the Big Ten, the school’s highest conference finish in 18 years, and defeated three ranked opponents.

Starkey’s time at IU began with a record-setting offensive performance, as the Hoosiers set single-game records for scoring (115) and 3-pointers made (16) in the season-opening win over Gardner-Webb on nov. 15, 2014. the team would go on to post the program’s best scoring average (71.9 ppg) since 1995-96 and make the second-most three-pointers (236) in a season.

His first head coaching job came at NCAA Division II Lenior-Rhyne University in Hickory, north Carolina. Starkey concluded his nine-year tenure as the winningest coach in program history with a 165-95 record. Over his final six years, he led the Bears to four nCaa tournament appearances and three Southern atlantic Conference (SAC) regular season championships while averaging more than 20 wins per season. He received SaC Coach of the Year honors on four occasions, including a conference record three straight from 2009-11.

Starkey was named the 2009 Russell athletic/WBCa nCaa Division II Coach of the Year after leading Lenoir-Rhyne to one of the greatest seasons in program history. the Bears posted a 27-5 record and won both the conference regular season and tournament titles for the first time ever to earn the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Tournament. Lenoir-Rhyne won the first nCaa tournament game in program history, 69-58, over anderson before falling in the second round.

academics are important to the Youngstown-area native. Last season, Kent State was the only Division I women’s basketball program in the country with two CoSIDa academic all-america® selections, as Jordan Korinek and Larissa Lurken both earned second team honors. In his time at Lenoir-Rhyne, Starkey had 100-percent of the players who remained past their sophomore year graduate, while the team maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or higher every year.

Prior to his head coaching stint, Starkey served as an assistant coach for Lenoir-Rhyne’s men’s team for two seasons (2003-05). The team won the 2004 SaC regular season championship and made an nCaa postseason appearance.

Starkey got his coaching career started at his alma mater, Montreat College in North Carolina. He was an assistant men’s basketball coach for five seasons (1998-03), helping the team to an NAIA National Tournament appearance in 2000.

Starkey grew up in nearby Canfield, Ohio, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in outdoor education from Montreat College. His playing career began in basketball and tennis at Mars Hill College.
