MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — It took all 18 games to decide, but the MAC West Division now has an undisputed No. 1 team.
The Central Michigan women’s basketball team put away Eastern Michigan, 78-70, Saturday at McGuirk Arena to claim the MAC West title outright and lock up the No. 2 seed in next week’s conference tournament.
The Chippewas finished 14-4 in the MAC and take a 20-9 record into the MAC Tournament at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. They will open on Wednesday, at approximately 6 p.m., against either seventh-seeded Western Michigan or 10th-seeded Northern Illinois.
