MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – The Central Michigan lacrosse team faces a big early season Mid-American Conference game on Saturday (1 p.m.) at the CMU Soccer/Lacrosse Complex when the Chippewas welcome Robert Morris.
The Chippewas and Colonials share first place in the MAC, both at 2-0. CMU is 4-4 overall, with two of the losses coming to ranked teams, No. 19 Louisville and No. 25 Vanderbilt. Both of the Chippewas' MAC wins came by 17-4 scores, the first over Detroit Mercy and the second at Youngstown State last weekend.
Robert Morris is 6-2 overall. Its MAC wins have come over Akron, 15-4, and over Kent State, 18-3. The Colonials' game scheduled at Detroit Mercy last weekend was postponed.
The Chippewas and Colonials top the MAC in most offensive categories, including shot percentage and goals per game. The Colonials lead the league with 12.13 gpg, while the Chippewas (11.25) are second; CMU is first in the MAC with a .390 shot percentage, while Robert Morris is second (.386).
CMU's Natalie Karlen, who recently became the CMU career points leader, leads the MAC in both goals per game (3.0) and points per game (3.88). She ranks second in shots per game (7.63); Robert Morris' Mackenzie Gandy is first with 7.88.
Karlen has 31 points (24 goals) on the season. Three other Chippewas have reached double digits in goals: Tyra Prince (15), Audrey Whiteside (14) and Courtney Burke (10). Burke was named the MAC Offensive Player of the Week earlier this week for her four-goal performance in CMU's victory over Youngstown State last week.
Gandy leads the Colonials with 21 goals and 30 points; Melanie Gandy has 29 points, including 10 goals.
Robert Morris goalkeeper Katlyn Miller ranks second in the MAC with an 8.70 goals against average. CMU's Sierra Savage, a sophomore who a week ago earned the MAC Defensive Player of the Week Award, is fourth in the league with a 10.57 GAA.
