KENT, Ohio – The Kent State women's basketball team has returned to campus as preparation for its upcoming 10-day trip to Greece is scheduled to begin on Friday.
Head coach Todd Starkey and the Golden Flashes will depart for Athens on Saturday, Aug. 5 and return to campus on Monday, Aug. 14. In addition to an opportunity to play two exhibition contests, the trip will provide the student-athletes with a unique cultural experience.
"This trip to Greece presents an incredible opportunity for our student-athletes to experience something that they will remember the rest of their lives," Starkey said. "International travel is a great way for a team to grow together, and the extra practices and games against other teams will obviously help us on the court."
This is the program's second foreign tour with the first coming in 2019 when the Flashes traveled to Vancouver.
"Making these trips adds great value to our program and really enhances the student-athlete experience," Starkey said. "President Todd Diacon, Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Randale Richmond and our entire administration are great supporters of our program. We are very appreciative of them and all the people who have helped us raise the money to make this trip a reality."
