ATHENS, Ga. – The Kennesaw State women's basketball program dropped a non-conference tilt with SEC foe Georgia, 89-34, at the Stegeman Coliseum on Thursday (Dec. 3) evening before 1,622 fans.

Freshman guard Iceis Walker scored six of her eight points in the second half to lead the Owls offensively, while pulling down three rebounds and one steal in the contest. Kelly Dulkoski chipped in with six points and Clara Young tallied five to help the Owls in the game. In all, nine KSU players totaled points in the contest.

The Owls fought off a 15-0 run and a 19-4 UGA advantage in the opening minutes of the first quarter to pull within single digits after the opening 10 minutes. Kennesaw State used a balance scoring attack in the quarter –five players scored a basket – and made four of its final five field goals as part of a 7-0 run to pull within 23-14 going into the second.

However, Georgia outscored the Owls 19-6 in the second quarter to take a 42-20 lead into halftime. Dulkoski, who entered the game shooting 35 percent from beyond the arc, scored five of KSU's six points in the quarter, including back-to-back jumpers to snap an 8-0 run from UGA.

The Bulldogs continued their push in the second half, outscoring Kennesaw State 47-14 over the final 20 minutes of action to extend its winning streak to six.

KSU dropped to 3-5 on the season, while Georgia improved to 7-1.

Up Next

Coach Perry Quote
"You can definitely use it as a learning experience. We needed to give good energy against a very good basketball team for 40 minutes. We had 25 turnovers today and only one assist. We need to learn from this and bounce back with a big game on Saturday. It's really about fighting the entire game and there has to be some fight in you for all 40 minutes. You need to put it all out there on the floor."
 - Kennesaw State Head Coach Nitra Perry
