The softball team huddles together during the Chippewas game against the University of Michigan on March 28 at Margo Jonker Stadium.
The Central Michigan softball team put together one of their best seasons in over a decade, going 36-13 overall and 18-5 in the Mid-American Conference to be crowned as the champion for the first time since 2004.
Now, they are getting rewarded for it.
Five players among the 2017 squad, and head coach Margo Jonker, were honored by the MAC on Tuesday with different awards.
For the 10th time in her 38 year run with the CMU softball program, Jonker was named the MAC coach of the year.
