Akron 91, Ball State 61 // Box Score
Suffocating defense, strong interior play and the red-hot shooting of their starting backcourt powered the Akron women's basketball team to a 91-61 Mid-American Conference home win over Ball State at James A. Rhodes Arena on Wednesday night. It was a night to accomplish accolades for two members of the Zips squad including redshirt senior guard Megan Sefcik(Austintown, Ohio) and head coach Melissa Jackson. Sefcik connected on her second three-pointer of the night at the 3:26 mark of the second quarter, but that triple meant so much more. The Zips shooting guard knocked down the 200thmade three-point field goal of her career, which has only been accomplished by three Zips in program history.
