There comes a point where all the hope and optimism ring with a certain amount of uncertainty.
Coming into the 2016 season the Central Michigan University softball team was picked to win the Mid-American Conference West Division title as well as the MAC Tournament title.
On paper the Chippewas return nearly their entire team from a year ago and bring one of the best line-ups one through nine in the entirety of the conference.
They also have arguably one of the best pitchers in the conference in Rachael Knapp.
Despite all the aforementioned Margo Jonker and company are still looking for their first MAC win of the season after getting swept in three straight games last weekend at Kent State.
