The Kent State soccer team’s slow offensive start on Thursday night gave the team sole possession of second place in the Mid-American Conference.
But it may have made it more difficult to catch first-place Ohio.
With two games to go in the regular season, Kent State is 6-1-2 in the MAC while Ohio is 7-0-2. Ohio beat Eastern Michigan 2-1 Thursday.

Kent State tied Central Michigan 1-1 (7-7-1, 4-4-1) Thursday in the team’s last home game of the season. The Flashes are 10-4-2 overall.
