WILBERFORCE, Ohio – Central State fought hard all the way to the end but could not put the finishing touches on their late comeback drive to defeat their opponents today, losing 66-65 at home to Kentucky Wesleyan in a tight played match that went right down to the wire.

Kentucky Wesleyan improves to 8-6 overall while the Lady Marauders falls to 3-10 on the season, and are now 1-4 in conference play.

The Lady Marauders scored the opening basket in the 1st half and but later found themselves on the defensive throughout the duration of today’s game against the Panthers.

Senior Guard Inquia Snell again led the Lady Marauders in scoring for the ninth straight contest with 22 points and helped CSU to make a late comeback drive in the 2nd half and a shot at victory. It was not enough though to hold off the KWU Panthers.

Central State is back at home against down-the-street rival Wilberforce Monday at 6 p.m.
