Kent State welcomes Duquesne on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. for the first of two women's basketball games this week at the M.A.C. Center.
The Golden Flashes (1-3) return to action after dropping both games late last week during a trip to North Carolina in which only nine student-athletes suited up. After falling to 13th-ranked NC State, 79-51, on Thursday, a late 7-0 run allowed host Elon to escape with a 66-63 victory Saturday night. Senior Jenna Batsch had a season-high 18 points to lead Kent State in the scoring column. Sophomore Riley Rismiller (15 points, 8 rebounds) and junior Tatiana Thomas (14 points, 7 rebounds) helped the Flashes post a 36-20 points in the paint advantage and win the rebounding battle, 44-32.
Preseason All-MAC First Team selection Jenna Batsch is the top scorer on the season at 14.0 points per game. Riley Rismiller, a transfer from Dayton, has made an immediate impact with averages of 12.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Bridget Dunn ranks fourth in the Mid-American Conference in rebounding (10.0 rpg) and has grabbed double-digit boards in three of four games.

The Dukes (2-1) set program records for turnovers forced (38) and stelas (25) during a 100-65 win over Niagara on Saturday. Versatile guard Megan McConnell (12.0 ppg) leads Duquesne in scoring (20.0 ppg), rebounding (6.0 rpg), assists (6.0 apg), and steals (10). Guard Jerni Kiaku adds 15.7 points per game.
