Sophomore foward Alexis Pelafas fights for the ball during the game against Youngstown State at the CMU Soccer/Lacrosse Complex, Friday, Aug. 26, 2016.
The Central Michigan soccer team accomplished two things on Sunday it hadn’t done in ten years.
For the first time since 2006, the Chippewas have started a season 5-0 and did so by winning in East Lansing against in-state rival Michigan State.
CMU defeated the Spartans 2-1 at the DeMartin Soccer Complex, despite a late rally by MSU.
“I’m just very proud of the effort and the performance the team put out today, and I thought we were rewarded for our efforts,” said head coach Peter McGahey.
