MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — The statistics speak for themselves. The Central Michigan soccer team is pretty good.
After a 1-0 victory at home over Oakland last Sunday, in which they set the record for the best start in program history, The Chippewas (8-0-0) are one of just three NCAA Division I programs without a loss or a tie this season.
They rank No. 30 in the country in RPI (Rating Percentage Index), the highest ranking of any team from a mid-major conference, and are ranked eighth in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Great Lakes Region poll.
