Near the end of the 2015 season, the Central Michigan volleyball team fell to Western Michigan on Oct. 30, 2015 and Northern Illinois the following night, leaving it with four games left to clinch the eighth and final spot in the Mid-American Conference Tournament.
The Chippewas missed their chance last year. Tonight, they have a chance to make a statement in conference play.
After a winless weekend for all three teams last week, Central, Western and Eastern Michigan sit in a three-way tie for eighth place in the MAC. Whichever team earns that final spot, will advance in the MAC Tournament.
