After a draw, a loss and battling 90 degree temperatures last weekend, the Central Michigan soccer team looks to pull out its first victory of the season Friday for its home opener.

The Chippewas (0-1-1) face Robert Morris (0-2) at 3 p.m. Friday at the Soccer/Lacrosse Complex. Head coach Peter McGahey said the team has high expectations for its home field and performing in front of a familiar crowd.

“We’re excited to play in front of Chippewa fans,” he said.
