CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Akron women's basketball team lost, 70-54, to Xavier in their second of four straight road games.
The Musketeers led for the majority of the first quarter, but Akron ended the stanza on a 5-4 run and took a one-point lead, 12-11, on two Shaena Brew free throws with six seconds left.
Xavier opened the second on a 14-1 run and took an 11-point lead with 3:28 remaining in the half. A Tyla Heard jumper a little more than two minutes later made it a six-point game, but the Musketeers scored the final seven points of the stanza and held a 34-21 advantage at the break.
