Central Michigan 71, Eastern Michigan 61 // Box Score
It wasn't the flashiest bucket of Presley Hudson's career. But it was almost certainly the most monumental and perhaps the most memorable. Hudson's jumper from the circle rattled home with under a minute to play in the first quarter on Saturday, making her the all-time leading scorer in Central Michigan women's basketball history as the Chippewas posted a 71-61 Mid-American Conference victory over Eastern Michigan at McGuirk Arena.

Ohio 82, Bowling Green 79 // Box Score
After redshirt freshman guard Erica Johnson (Mansfield, Ohio) and sophomore guard Cece Hooks (Dayton, Ohio) each scored 22 points, the Ohio Women's Basketball team (17-1, 6-1 MAC) picked up its fifth-straight Mid-American Conference win at Bowling Green (7-11, 0-7 MAC), 82-79 on Saturday afternoon. "I'm certainly happy we got a win," head coach Bob Boldon said. It was good to see some adversity and good to see us pull through that adversity. I've said this before, we're still a pretty young team. Erica (Johnson) and Cece (Hooks) are a freshman and sophomore. Deesh (Beck) and Kaylee (Bambule) played some valuable minutes down the stretch so that's two other freshmen that got good, valuable minutes in a tight, contested game on the road. That's all valuable."
