On Sept. 7, senior forward and midfielder Donavan Capehart limped off the field after a heavy challenge from a University of Pittsburgh defender.
In her third game back since returning from her month-long injury, Capehart scored the deciding goal off a Hayden Pascoe assist to push the Kent State women’s soccer team to another vital road win, 1-0 over Northern Illinois.
The Flashes (10-4-1, 6-1-0 Mid-American Conference) took the lead in the 26th minute. Senior forward Pascoe dribbled down the right side before hitting a cross to the near post, where Capehart slotted her first goal of the season past Northern Illinois' freshman goalkeeper Megan Donnally.
