COLUMN:Soccer is destined for MAC Tournament
The hottest team in the Mid-American Conference West Division, the Chippewas, will enter their final game of the season one point out of a qualifying spot in the MAC Tournament.
Head Coach Peter McGahey and his team have taken nine out of nine points during the past three matches.
CMU’s style of play has become more offensive.
The outside backs are pushing up and almost completely eliminating the flanks from opposing teams.
Two of the biggest contributors to this team’s turnaround are junior midfielder Kaelyn Korte and sophomore goalkeeper Heather Laeufer.
Korte has contributed offensively and made herself comfortable in the midfielder role.
Laeufer, won her spot on the team and has surrendered only three goals.
The team has scored more in the past few games than ever before in the season. All this while sitting one point out of a playoff spot.
The way the schedule has worked out is almost perfect for CMU. The women play their final game against a struggling Toledo team currently on a three game losing-streak.
No matter the result, the Chippewas would be the last seed in the MAC West because they have lost head-to-head to both the Broncos and the Huskies.
The form of CMU is miraculous, they haven’t given up a goal in 354 minutes. That’s nearly six hours of match time.
The defense and goaltending is unbreakable and with the momentum the Chippewas have heading into a Toledo match, CMU will pull off the comeback.
