AKRON, Ohio - Senior Anita Brown (Warren, Ohio) and junior Hannah Plybon (Orrville, Ohio) each scored in double digits for Akron (6-6, 0-1 MAC), but it wasn't enough to overcome a tough Northern Illinois' offense surge down the stretch as the Zips dropped their Mid-American Conference opener, 65-58, on Saturday, Jan. 2, at James A, Rhodes Arena.
Brown scored a game-high 24 points, while Plybon added a 13-point outing.
