Akron was without its leading scorer, junior guard Megan Sefcik, for the sixth straight game; they came into Saturday’s contest against Kent State 0-5 in those games.
Shaunay Edmonds decided to change that.
The sophomore guard led the offense in a fast-paced game in which she penetrated, scored and rarely turned the ball over. She finished with 15 points, nine assists and only two turnovers as the Zips beat Kent State, 75-60, for their first Mid-American Conference win of the season.
Akron (7-13, 1-8 MAC) dominated most of the game with guard play and tough defense, and Kent State (10-11, 3-6 MAC) was unable to respond.
