Lacrosse announces inaugural schedule
Athletics Director Dave Heeke cuts the ribbon on the new CMU Soccer and Lacrosse complex Thursday.
On Feb. 17, for the first time in school history, Central Michigan will field a Division I lacrosse team.
CMU Athletics released the team’s first schedule Tuesday. The first game will be Feb. 17 in Ann Arbor against Michigan.
The first home game—at the new soccer and lacrosse complex—is March 11 against Delaware State.
The Chippewas will compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference, instead of the Mid-American Conference, joining Delaware State as conference newcomers.
“I think the Atlantic Sun is a great fit for us in where we’re at,” Head Lacrosse Coach Sara Tisdale said in a press release Tuesday. “Obviously we’re aiming for that top spot and hoping to get into the NCAA Tournament.”
The Chippewas will host a scrimmage Sunday, Oct. 18 at 10:30 a.m. against Grand Valley State and 3 p.m. against Findlay.
