Lacrosse to play first home scrimmages in program history
Athletics Director Dave Heeke cuts the ribbon on the new CMU Soccer and Lacrosse complex Thursday.
Fans will get their first glimpse of Central Michigan’s only Atlantic Sun Conference team Sunday, as lacrosse plays its first home game at the new Soccer/Lacrosse Complex.
The all-freshmen Chippewas will play two games Sunday,wrapping up their fall season.
The doubleheader begins at 10:30 a.m. against Grand Valley with game two against Findlay scheduled for 3 p.m.
Head Coach Sara Tisdale said she hopes to fine tune and look for someone to step up in the final two games of the fall.
“For us, it’s controlling tempo and pace of play,” Tisdale said. “We play at a high level of athleticism.”
Tisdale said the 90-second shot clock rule is something she looks to take advantage of offensively and defensively.
With an inaugural season for the sport along with a new stadium, Tisdale described the program as having a buzz and high energy level going into the winter.
“The new stadium is top ten in the country," she said. "It puts us right on par, if not better than many other major schools.”
