Central Michigan women's basketball dropped its season opener against Georgia Southern with a score of 98-72.⁠ ⁠ “We didn't bring the energy and effort on both ends of the ball," head coach Kristin Haynie said. "We felt like we let them dictate us when our defense is our identity, and we did not dictate. We weren't very good on the boards either.” ⁠ ⁠ Georgia Southern found production from several members of the team as five of its players reached double-digits in points. The Eagles took advantage of turnovers and a three-point barrage to overwhelm the Chippewas. ⁠ ⁠ ✍️David Powell 📸Mary Nowosacki⁠ ⁠ #lifeatcentral #cmuwbball #MACwbball
