AKRON, Ohio – A goal in each half proved too much for the University of Akron women's soccer team to overcome in its home Mid-American Conference opener as Kent State (2-5-2, 2-0-0 MAC) posted a 2-0 triumph on Sunday, Sept. 25, at FirstEnergy Stadium.
The Golden Flashes by virtue of their victory garnered a full point in the Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center Wagon Wheel Challenge.
