Lack of offense leads to weekend sweep of softball team

Sophomore pitcher Rachael Knapp winds up to throw to a Ball State batter March 28 at Margo Jonker Stadium.

The CMU softball team was the preseason favorite to win the Mid-American Conference West Division. But after three games, the Chippewas are without a win in conference play.

Central Michigan (13-15, 0-3 MAC) traveled to Kent State (20-7, 3-0 MAC) over the weekend and was swept in the weekend series at the Diamond at Dix. The team managed three runs the whole series — all in game one.

Coming into the series, Head Coach Margo Jonker stressed that her team needed to "shut down" the Golden Flashes if it wanted to win.
