Ohio 69, Kent State 67 // Box Score
In a game much like the first meeting in Athens earlier this season, the Ohio Women's Basketball team (22-3, 11-3 MAC) defeated Kent State (15-10, 9-6 MAC), 69-67, inside the M.A.C. Center on Saturday afternoon. "It's exciting to win," head coach Bob Boldon said. "We got a road win and road wins are hard to come by. We'll take them every time we can get them. We also understand that we still have some work to do. I think if we're a team continues to try and get better until the end of the season, maybe we'll make it."
