Box Score

YPSILANTI, Mich.- The Kent State soccer team fell to the Eastern Michigan Eagles 1-0 on Sunday afternoon in Ypsilanti.

The Golden Flashes (7-6-3, 4-4-2 MAC) drop their final regular season contest on the road, while the Eagles (6-6-5, 2-3-5 MAC) earn their second win of Mid-American Conference play and complete an unbeaten season at home

Eastern Michigan jumped out to an early lead getting a goal in the fourth minute from Maddie O'Farrell. Kent State ramped up the pressure after conceding the goal but was unable to find an equalizer before the halftime break.

The Flashes worked to break down the Eagles' back line but could not find a decisive pass or shot in the attacking third. With 13 minutes on the clock Alanna Raimondo kept the Flashes in the game with a header off the line that would've given Eastern Michigan a two-goal advantage.

In the 89^th minute the Flashes were threatening just like they did earlier this season against Colgate. Freshman midfielder, Katie Henahan, found some space just outside of the 18-yard box and fired a shot on goal that the Eagles' goalie just tipped over the bar.

In the box score Kent State trailed in shots (9-12), shots on goal (5-6), and corner kick opportunities (4-9). Alisa Arthur led the Flashes in shots with four and shots on goal with two. Heidi Marshall played all 90 minutes in goal recording 4 saves.
