The Kent women’s soccer team played a Halloween game marked by pouring rain, biting wind and a bittersweet victory.
Although they had defeated Ohio 3-1, the Flashes learned that they would not make it into the Mid-American Conference tournament.
Shortly after the conclusion of the game, the team learned that Eastern Michigan beat Central Michigan. With the win, Eastern Michigan advances to the MAC tournament and Kent State will miss the tournament for the first time since 2010.
“I think it’s been nine years since we missed the playoffs,” coach Rob Marinaro said.
