KENT, OHIO - The Central Michigan University women's basketball team couldn't make it two-straight against MAC power Kent State, as it fell on the road to Golden Flashes Saturday afternoon, 65-45.
The Chippewas closed within nine at the end of the first half, but the Golden Flashes pulled away in the second half on the strength of their three-point shooting and points scored off turnovers.

The Chippewas fell to 4-17 overall and 0-10 in the conference while the Golden Flashes improved to 12-8 and 5-4 in league play.
