The Central Michigan lacrosse team might be starting from scratch, but Head Coach Sara Tisdale isn’t.
This isn’t her first startup project or first lacrosse experience at CMU. The 2006 Chippewa graduate played on CMU's club team before coaching club lacrosse at Michigan State. In 2010, she started a Division III lacrosse program at Augustana College in Illinois and went 51-8 in her three seasons in charge. The Vikings went 16-1 last season.
Tisdale said her experience at Augustana taught her how to start a program and was likely a main factor in her hiring at CMU in July 2014.
