The Chippewas are coming off their first conference win over Bowling Green, while Akron has won their first two conference games.
McGuirk Arena in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, is the site for the matchup between the Central Michigan Chippewas and the Akron Zips tonight. One of these teams is hoping to continue their dominance in the MAC by extending their undefeated streak, while the other hopes to get above .500 in conference play by knocking off a MAC leader. Only one of these teams is performing up to par with where the preseason poll placed them.
