Kent, OHIO - The Golden Flashes dropped their final home game of the season on Saturday in Mid-American Conference play to the Central Michigan Chippewas by a score of 15-9. Despite the loss, KSU junior Morgan Halli excelled, finishing with six of the team's nine goals.
Both teams started off on fire on the offensive end with 10 goals in the first fifteen minutes between the two. Senior Zayda Crumpton started off the scoring and the Chippewas answered with the next two.Â
Halli would then score the four remaining goals in the quarter for the blue and gold as both teams answered each other in scoring to head into the second tied at five goals each. CMU would continue the scoring with three goals in the second quarter compared to one from Kent State for an 8-6 Chippewa advantage at the halftime break.
Central Michigan continued to separate in the third quarter, holding the Flashes to just one goal while they were able to score three of their own. Kent State put up a fight in the final frame with two goals but it wasn't enough to catch-up with the Chippewas, as they lost the game by a six-goal margin.Â
