MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – There will be no easing into for the Central Michigan soccer team in 2017.
The Chippewas open the campaign with an Aug. 18-20 road trip to Lawrence, Kan., where they will play Tulsa and Kansas. Five of CMU’s first six games are on the road. Two of those first six opponents, Kansas and Marquette, played in the Women’s College Cup in 2016.
Marquette is the defending BIG EAST regular-season champion, while Kansas finished second in the Big 12 last fall.
The Chippewas open at home against Robert Morris on Aug.
