MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Almost exactly a year ago, the Central Michigan women’s basketball team suffered a heartbreaking Mid-American Conference championship loss to Buffalo on an overtime buzzer-beater.
Since then, the Chippewas played each game like a championship game.
Eighteen MAC games later, the mindset has paid off.
The nets were cut following a 71-48 MAC win against Eastern Michigan at McGuirk Arena on Saturday as Central Michigan won the MAC regular-season championship, an achievement that the program hasn’t seen in 32 years.
The Chippewas are 23-7 overall, 15-3 MAC.
