Class:
1987

One of the most successful teams - regardless of sport - in CMU’s long and storied history, the 1987 squad coached by Margo Jonker finished fifth in the Women’s College World Series and won a fifth Mid-American Conference championship in a six-year span, finishing 37-14 ... Jonker was named the MAC Coach of the Year and earned regional and national coach of the year honors as well ... Cheryl Hein and Cathy Wylie earned all-region honors, while Kris (Tipmore) Popp and Beth Bull would eventually become All-Americans ... the Chippewas went 5-0 that season against teams ranked in the top 20, and then dramatically knocked off Northwestern in a best-of-three NCAA Regional to earn a berth in the Women’s College World Series in Omaha, Neb.
