MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. — Central Michigan Lacrosse reloaded ahead of the 2026 campaign with 14 newcomers into the program in the fall.
Â
The group consists of 11 freshmen and three sophomore transfers. The freshman class represents five states, with four student-athletes staying in the state of Michigan:
Â
Stella Hensley (Kalamazoo, Mich. / Portage Central)
Izzy Watson (East Lansing, Mich. / East Lansing)
Brooke Winowich (Saint Clair Shores, Mich. / Detroit Country Day)
Olivia Winowich (Saint Clair Shores, Mich. / Detroit Country Day)
Â
The Winowich sisters are one of two sets of twins in the incoming group, joined by Sara Marshburn and Sofia Marshburn (Peachtree City, Ga. / Starr's Mill).
Â
A pair of Dallas Metroplex-natives and near-lifelong teammates Abby Schroer (Frisco, Texas / Memorial) and Riley Cooper (Frisco, Texas / Wakeland) maintain the Chippewas' Texas representation, Marisa Rosner (Frankfort, Ill. / Marist) and Francie Ryan (Evanston, Ill. / Loyola Academy) strengthen the group of Illinois-natives and Mia Bradley (Orchard Park, N.Y. / Orchard Park) of New York.
Â
The transfer group features a trio that have all seen Central Michigan Lacrosse up close. Another Michigan-native in Allison Katinas (Novi, Mich. / Novi) joined after her freshman campaign at Mid-American Conference rival Detroit Mercy while Heather Delbone (Canton, Conn. / Canton) and Sav Musto (Stouffville, Ontario / The Hill Academy) made their way in from Saint Francis (PA). The Chippewas visited both programs in 2025.
Â
The group brings a deep background of individual recognition and team success. For more information, visit their bios available on the 2026 team roster page of CMUChippewas.com.
Â
Central Michigan Lacrosse opens the 2026 campaign Feb. 8 at Notre Dame. The Chippewas host Robert Morris to open both the MAC slate and the CMU Lacrosse Complex March 14, Noon ET.
