The Chippewas 23 victories in rank as the second most in program history, and CMU s 15 MAC wins (against three losses) tied for the third most by a Chippewa squad.

It was her 172nd win on the Chippewa bench, as she passed Donita Davenport, who earned 171 wins as the Chippewa mentor from Guevara brings a mark as CMU s coach into the season, and she has 299 career wins. The Guevara-led Chippewas provided myriad highlights, including program record scoring, blocked shot, and 3-point single-game performances; four games in which they surpassed the 100-point plateau; win streaks of six and then seven games; and a perfect 3-0 mark in overtime games. Individual accolades followed the team success, as Tinara Moore and Presley Hudson were named to the All-MAC First Team, while Rayna Frost and Jewel Cotton were named to the third team. It marked the first time since 1991 that CMU has had as many as two players named to the All-MAC First Team.
