Lacy Tolfree has played in many rivalry games over her first three years for the Central Michigan softball team. Now in her senior season, its just another game.

“You have to think about it as just another game because they all count the same, but it does add a little extra fire in all of us,” Tolfree said. “When you have a rivalry, you just want to get out there and beat them right away.”

On April 11, the Chippewas (18-16, 8-4 Mid-American Conference) did just that by coming out and winning the first game 6-2 against Western Michigan.
