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.
The Musketeer lead grew by over 20 in the third, as they outscored the Zips, 25-15, in the period and ended the period with a 59-36 advantage.
Akron did outscore Xavier, 18-11, in the fourth but the Musketeers held their double-digit advantage throughout the entire stanza.
Macey Fegan led the Zips with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while freshman Kaylah Thornton scored 12 in her first collegiate start playing 22 minutes.
Xavier shot 45.5% from the field compared to Akron's 29.8% and blocked seven shots compared to none for the Zips.
