STORYLINE
Kennesaw State opened the game short-handed as senior guard
Clara Young was unavailable resulting in a juggling of the lineup that included Street moving from the off-guard position to the point. With Young watching from the bench, Stetson opened the game with a 12-1 run and closed the first half with a 22-5 run over the final 6:47 to lead 53-21 at halftime. The Hatters made seven of their final eight field goal attempts and concluded the first half shooting 55 percent (17-for-31). Stetson finished the game shooting 60.4 percent from the field, including 47.6 percent (10-for-21) from behind the three-point arc.

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Young, the only senior on the Owls' roster, had her streak of 56 consecutive starts snapped. Street, who picked up three first-half fouls, was held scoreless in the first 20 minutes of a game for the first time this season. The KSU rookie guard reached double digits for the 17th straight game, 21st time in 23 contests, and paced the Owls in scoring for the 14th time.
