The Kent State Golden Flashes (3-5, 2-2 MAC East) snapped a two-game losing streak in style on Saturday afternoon, defending the Wagon Wheel trophy against the Akron Zips (1-7, 0-4 MAC) on their home grounds at Dix Stadium, taking the win by a final score of 33-27.
The victory was Kent State’s fourth-straight in the Wagon Wheel Rivalry over Akron, and also reeled in their program-defining 12th home win in a row to extend the record. The win also puts the Flashes back into the mix for a bowl game if they win the majority of their remaining games.
