Kent State (10-7-2, 6-4-1 MAC) defeated Ohio (8-7-3, 6-3-2 MAC) 1-0 on the road to wrap up regular season play. Maddie Holmes' scored her sixth goal of the season in the 48th minute to clinch the victory for the Flashes and secure the fifth seed in the Mid-American Conference tournament this weekend.
Early in the second half, the Golden Flashes attempted one of their 10 free kicks. After a scrum in front of the net, Maddie Holmes banged home one of her team-high three shots to give Kent State the advantage.
The one goal was all that was needed with freshman goalkeeper Faith O'Neill recording her sixth shutout of the season to help lift the Flashes to a victory.
