Women’s basketball game against Central Michigan canceled

February 2, 2024

The Kent State women’s basketball team forms a huddle after securing a victory over Akron during the wagon wheel game Feb. 18, 2023.

The Kent State women’s basketball game scheduled for Saturday against Central Michigan has been canceled and will not be rescheduled.

CMU does not have enough available student-athletes, and per conference rule, if an institution cannot field a team, it will be forced to forfeit. This gives the Flashes a Mid-American Conference win, but that will not count toward their overall record.

Per conference rule, the member institution unable to field a team will forfeit the contest.

The Flashes (13-6) will move to 8-2 in the Mid-American Conference, and their overall record will not be impacted as per NCAA policy.

Kent State will return to action at home Wednesday at 7 p.m. against Western Michigan.

The Chippewas (9-10, 4-5 MAC) sit in sixth place in the conference, and their last win inside the M.A.C. Center came in 2018.
