Bouncing back from Boca
KSU opened with two 30-plus-point home wins over Shorter and Clayton State, then hit its first bump in a 68-28 loss at Florida Atlantic on Saturday. The big swing was on the glass: after a combined +34 rebounding margin in the first two games, the Owls were -22 at FAU and shot 19% from the field. Get the full story in our Kennesaw State vs. FAU recap.
Key players
Senior guard Shania Nichols leads Conference USA with 23 total rebounds and posted her first career double-double (10 points, 10 boards) at FAU. She joins Kaelyn Flowers (11.7 ppg) and Tracey Bershers (10.3 ppg) as the Owls' three double-figure scorers. Riley Talbert leads the league in assist-to-turnover ratio, and Flowers' nine steals rank third in CUSA.
There's a homecoming angle too: associate head coach Jon Bollier began his coaching career on Georgia's staff and later spent three seasons there as director of player personnel.
Scouting Georgia
First-year head coach Ayla Guzzardo has the Lady Bulldogs at 3-0 with lopsided wins over West Georgia, Winthrop and Nicholls. Dakota Howard (16.3 ppg), Milan Brown (11.7) and Nya Smith (11.3) lead the scoring.
