Winning a championship is an athlete’s goal and having a chance to win the big game and then losing it can be the worst feeling.

The Kent State’s women basketball team played Bowling Green in the Mid-American Tournament’s championship game on Saturday night in the Gund Arena. The women trailed most of the game and all of the second half. 

Kent State’s Lindsay Shearer has always wanted the chance to win the championship, and she did everything she could by scoring 44 points. However, only three other players were able to put the ball in the basket as the women lost 81-75.
