MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – High-profile player in an increasingly higher profile program.
Peter McGahey embraces the challenge, and so do his players.
McGahey and his Central Michigan women’s soccer team open the season this weekend with a trip to Lawrence, Kan., for the Rock Chalk Invitational on the campus of the University of Kansas.
The Chippewas will play Tulsa on Friday at 5 p.m. EDT, and the host Jayhawks on Sunday (2 p.m.).
CMU returns one of the nation’s most-explosive players in junior Lexi Pelafas, who last season set program records with 16 goals and 35 points.
