The program might only be in its third year of competition, but head coach Sara Tisdale already has Central Michigan lacrosse on the verge of its first conference title.
The Chippewas (11-5, 4-0 Southern Conference) are in first place — the lone undefeated team in conference play. They are winners of six straight games and have won nine of their last 10.
The only team standing in the way of CMU’s quest for a SoCon Championship and a No. 1 seed in the conference tournament is in-state rival Detroit Mercy at 4 p.m. on April 28.
Tisdale, however, doesn't buy in to the high stakes of this game.
