First-round bye is in the bag.
Now the focus shifts to winning the Mid-American Conference regular-season title for a second-straight season.
On Saturday afternoon from McGuirk Arena the CMU women’s basketball team wrapped up a first-round bye for the Mid-American Conference Tournament (March 5-10) and locked up a top-four seed via a 95-82 victory over Eastern Michigan University.
With the victory the Chippewas improve to 21-4 overall and to 13-1 in MAC play while EMU falls to 10-15 and 6-8.
The win also snaps CMU’s one-game losing streak as it fell at the University at Buffalo 85-82 Wednesday.
