CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Central Michigan women’s basketball team followed a familiar script and as a result will play for the Mid-American Conference championship on Saturday.

Cassie Breen scored a career-high 24 points to lead four Chippewas in double figures Friday as CMU topped Eastern Michigan, 86-71, in a MAC Tournament semifinal at Quicken Loans Arena.

CMU (22-9), which was seeded second, will play eighth-seeded Buffalo (19-13) in Saturday’s title game at 1 p.m. The winner advances to the NCAA Tournament.

Buffalo defeated the Chippewas, 67-61, on Jan.
