Chippewa Women Stun LSU For First NCAA Tourney Win

A season-long, one-game-at-a-time, all-for-one mentality led to a historic victory for the Central Michigan women's basketball team Saturday.

The Chippewas beat No. 24 LSU, 78-69, for the program's first NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament victory, and they did it by living up to what CMU coach Sue Guevara said about her team one day earlier.

Unselfish, Guevara said, at a press conference. Once again, all five CMU starters had their moments. Mid-American Conference Player of the Year Tinara Moore held her own inside against LSU's Ayana Mitchell and Khayla Pointer. Moore finished with 25 points and seven rebounds.
