After the Central Michigan women’s basketball team struggled from the free throw line in its recent exhibition, coach Sue Guevara made it clear that the result would not win championships.
One week later, in CMU’s season opener on Nov. 8 against Oakland University, Guevara’s group hit the century mark with the help of sophomore center Annie Yost’s free throw.
Guevara watched the shot fall through the net and immediately smiled.
The Chippewas (1-0) defeated Golden Grizzlies (1-1) handily at McGuirk Arena, 104-61, behind senior guard Presley Hudson’s barrage of 3-pointers.
As a matter of fact, CMU’s first points of the season came on a triple from the hand of Hudson just four seconds into the game.
