ATHENS, Ohio—The Ohio softball team (16-18, 10-5 MAC) defeated Central Michigan (16-18, 7-5 MAC) today at the Ohio Softball Field (April 15). 

Individually, fifth years Megan McMenemy (Westerville, Ohio) was 3-for-3 with one home run and three RBIs while Allie Englant (Long Beach, Calif.) went 3-for-4 with a double and a home run. In the circle, senior Mackensie Kohl (Corona Del Mar, Calif.) pitched a complete game, registering six strikeouts while giving up six hits.
