KENT – Kent State Men's Basketball (2-1) earned its second straight victory on Monday night defeating the University North Carolina Wilmington Seahawks by a final score of 86-77. Cian Medley and Delrecco Gillespie posted double-doubles while Quinn Woidke dropped double digits for the second time in three games.
The Golden Flashes started hot for the second straight game taking advantage of early UNCW turnovers going on a 10-2 run in the opening five minutes. Kent State was able to push their lead to 23-7 entering the single bonus with just under 10 minutes to play in the first half.

UNCW carried their heat from the close of the first half into the second as The Golden Flashes saw their lead evaporate in the opening minutes of the second. Quinn Woidke's entrance into the game for the second half lit a fire under Kent State as the freshman hit a trio of threes to give the Flashes back narrow lead. As the clock dipped below five minutes the Flashes took control keeping their cushion with great defensive stops and key free throws from Rob Whaley Jr. and Medley. With 26 second left to play Medley stole the ball and dished it to Gillespie who threw down the exclamation point. 86-77 was your final.
