ATHENS, Ohio - Paced by a pair of career-highs from freshmen Erin Kuhl and Chasidy Myers, the Central Michigan University women's basketball team claimed a 66-63 win here Monday night over Ohio University.
The Chippewas are now 10-11 for the season and 4-6 in Mid-American Conference action while the host Bobcats are now 7-15 and 3-8.
Kuhl, a smooth 5-9 guard, drilled 21 points while the 6-2 Myers registered career bests for both points (14) and rebounds (seven). They were the only two Chippewas in twin figures.
