AKRON, Ohio – On a wet and windy night in Akron, the Kent State soccer team (2-4-0) fell to the Zips (1-4-1) 1-0 in the Golden Flashes' first Wagon Wheel loss since 2010.
Akron got on the board in the 15th minute as Sarah Nguyen picked out Sydney Worthy in the box off a corner and Worthy nodded the ball home.
The Flashes pressed hard for the tying goal, winning four corners and recording four shots on goal all in the second half. Kent State had their best chance to equalize in the 89th minute as Keyosha Donkor hit the far post on a curling effort that beat the keeper but just missed the side netting.
