KENNESAW, Ga. – After suffering a heartbreaking loss on Saturday, Kennesaw State women's basketball hits the road for the first time this season to face ETSU.
The Black and Gold were down for a majority of the contest against FAU, trailing by 8 to start the fourth quarter. They roared all the way back – led by
Keyarah Berry's 21 second-half points – and took the lead with under 90 seconds left. After KSU missed both free throws to ice the game, FAU took the ball down the court and sank the game-winning three.
ETSU enters Wednesday's game with an 0-2 record, most recently falling to No. 8 Tennessee on the road.
The series history favors the Bucs, who are 11-1 all time, although these teams haven't played each other since 2014 when ETSU and KSU were in the Atlantic Sun.
Tip-off is set for 2:00 p.m. on ESPN+.
Berry Nice
After being named to the CUSA Preseason Team, graduate guard
Keyarah Berry is living up to the hype. She scored a career-high 25 points against FAU, with 21 of those coming in the second half. She is also contributing on the defensive end, recording three steals in back-to-back games. Berry currently ranks second in CUSA in steals (6), fourth in scoring (19.0 points-per-game) and fourth in field goal percentage (60.0%).

Shania Nichols erupted for 20 points in 19 minutes of action against Shorter. She went 6-of-9 from behind the arc, 7-of-11 from the field overall. Her six three-pointers are tied for the most by a Conference USA player this season.
Lockdown Defense
Effort has been a calling card of the Owls under Coach
