Kent State Turns Back UNCW, 86-77

KENT, Ohio – Kent State withstood a second-half UNCW rally to turn back the Seahawks, 86-77, in UNCW's men's basketball road opener on Monday night at the Memorial Athletic and Convocation Center.

The Golden Flashes upped their record to 2-1 before the Seahawks dipped to 1-1 on the young season.

UNCW's Nolan Hodge matched his career-high for the second straight game with 21 points. Greedy Williams also equaled his personal benchmark with 15 points and Patrick Wessler secured his second straight double-double with a career-high-tying 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Kent State had 10 players score a point, topped by double-digit efforts by Cian Medley (18) and Quinn Woidke (17). Preseason MAC First-Teamer Delrecco Gillespie fashioned his third straight double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds while Medley also collected a double-double with 10 assists.

Trailing 43-34 at the break, the Seahawks opened the second half on a 9-0 spurt to even the game 43-all and rallied to tie it twice after halftime.

A Wessler layup made it a one-possession game, 65-63, with 8:21 to go before the Golden Flashes used a 9-4 spurt to take control, 74-67, at the under-four media timeout en route to the win.

Kent State built a double-digit lead, 12-2, at the 15:20 mark with 10 unanswered points and led by as many as 22 with 7:14 remaining in the first half.

A Hodge three-pointer with under three minutes to go kick-started a 10-0 Seahawk spurt to trim the deficit to eight before the Golden Flashes carried a 43-34 advantage into halftime.

UNCW returns home on Saturday, Nov. 15, to play USC Upstate at 7 p.m.
