MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan Lacrosse fell to Akron, 16-3, in the 2026 regular-season finale Saturday at the CMU Lacrosse Complex.

The Chippewas finished 2026 with a 4-12 overall record, tied for fourth in the Mid-American Conference at 3-4 with Robert Morris. The Colonials' 8-7 overtime victory in Mount Pleasant (March 14) broke the tie for the final spot in the MAC Tournament—Akron (11-4; 6-1 MAC) will be the league's second seed.

The day began with senior day recognition for attacker Kelsey Barratt (Voorhees, N.J. / Eastern), defender Victoria Chesson (Cincinnati, Ohio / Wyoming) and goalkeeper Leila Kahler (Spring Lake, Mich. / Spring Lake).

Barratt made her 30^th career start, led CMU with four draw controls Saturday; Kahler entered the contest as the twice reigning MAC Goalkeeper of the Week; Chesson made her first career appearance this season after tough battles with injury, started the final eight games of the season.

Freshman Mia Bradley (Orchard Park, N.Y. / Orchard Park) had a hand in all three Chippewa goals Saturday. The rookie scored the first of the day, assisted by Caye Kalbacher (Austin, Texas / Stephen F. Austin), then assisted both strikes from Julia Werner (Gurnee, Ill. / Warren Township).

Ava Regitz (Marrietta, Ga. / Blessed Trinity) collected her sixth multi-caused turnover performance of the season with a pair of swipes, finishing the season with at least one takeaway in each of the last seven contests and a team-high 22 overall. The junior also added three draw controls for 57 on the season, another team high.

Bradley finished the season as CMU's points leader (34), the first freshman to do so since Jocelyne Lemay '19 in the program's inaugural 2016 season.

Junior Anna Farrar (Milton, Ga. / Cambridge) led the Chippewas with 25 goals this season, third in points (28) behind sophomore Kalbacher.
