KSU Rallies to Stun UNC Asheville

KENNESAW, Ga. - Sametria Gideon scored a career-high 25 points, leading for Lady Owls in double-figures in scoring as the Kennesaw State women's basketball team rallied from an 11-point deficit to stun UNC Asheville, 83-79, at the KSU Convocation Center Saturday night.

 The Lady Owls (4-6) trailed for the entire contest until late in the second half.  Down 11 with just under six minutes to go, a 3-pointer by Ashley Holliday sparked an, 8-0, run to get the Lady Owls back into the contest.  After a steal by Elaina Gray on the defensive end, Taylor Mills connected on a 3-pointer of her own to cut the lead down to five, 73-68.  Following a defensive stop, Holliday found Kristina Wells alone for a lay-up to slice the lead down to three with 4:30 left in the contest.

KSU to add women's lacrosse program

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kennesaw State University plans to make women's lacrosse the school's 17th NCAA Division I championship sport.

The Lady Owls will compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference beginning in 2013. All 16 of the school's existing sports have competed for A-Sun championships since 2005.

"Lacrosse is a sport that is growing very quickly in the Southeast, and it will be an excellent addition to our already strong offering of intercollegiate athletics at Kennesaw State," said KSU athletic director Vaughn Williams.

With the addition of women's lacrosse, KSU will be the first NCAA Division I athletic program in Metro Atlanta to sponsor the sport, and just one of two schools in Georgia to do so; the other program is at Mercer University in Macon.

KENNESAW: World-class skate park slated for city

KENNESAW, Ga. -- Kennesaw plans to build a 40,000 square foot skate park in Swift-Cantrell Park, the city announced Friday.

The state-of-the-art project with the Rob Dyrdek Foundation will be one of the largest skate parks in the Southeast. Its design is based on those at competitive skate park plazas.

"A facility of this scope and quality will be great for local skateboarders, but will attract events from the entire Southeast region, bringing substantial potential economic benefit to Kennesaw," Mayor Mark Mathews said in a statement.

The skate park is expected to cost $1.2 million, $750,000 of which was approved by voters as part of the 2011 SPLOST. The remainder of the money will come from donations and grants.

SITE Design Group and California Skateparks will complete the project.
