KENT, Ohio โ Graduate student Breanna Burrell posted the 1,000th kill of her collegiate career on Tuesday evening as Kent State fell to Ohio, 3-0 (21-25, 18-25, 23-25), inside of the M.A.C. Center.
Burrell, who totaled 943 kills over four seasons at Northwestern State prior to joining the Golden Flashes this season, reached the milestone with a tip over the block that found the floor during the third set.
The Golden Flashes (2-22, 1-13 MAC) battled throughout the night, as the match featured 26 ties and 13 lead changes. The visiting Bobcats were able to win the key points late in sets to earn the victory.
Junior Mackenzie McGuire had a match-high 15 kills. Junior Kendall White led Kent State with 25 assists and nine digs.
