Ticket Punched: Central Michigan Claims MAC Women's Basketball Title

Central Michigan 77, Bowling Green 72
BOXSCORE
CLEVELAND (AP) — Micaela Kelly scored 29 points, Molly Davis added 23 and second-seeded Central Michigan edged top-seeded Bowling Green 77-72 on Saturday for the Mid-American Conference Tournament championship and the Chippewas’ sixth trip to the NCAA Tournament.

Central Michigan, which has just eight healthy players and went to overtime in the semifinals, made the key plays down the stretch against a young Falcons’ team that hadn’t won a title since 2011 or a tournament game in six years.
Davis hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with five minutes to play and her 3-pointer with just under a minute to go capped a 10-0 run for a 75-67 lead.
