An upsetting piece of news broke in the middle of last night's basketball action, when Deadspin published the details of a lawsuit filed against Kent State University in which former softball player Lauren Kesterson alleges that she was raped by the son of former softball coach Karen Linder. She also accuses Linder and the university of covering up the rape, as well as "intentional infliction of emotional distress" meant to drive Kesterson and her sister out of the softball program. According to the complaint, once Linder was made aware of the rape, she asked Kesterson to "keep this between the people that know," and then failed to report the rape to any authorities.
