WMU broke through in the 19th minute after redshirt junior Tommy Clark sent a ball into the box off a corner that junior Kosti Moni was able to get a head on to send into the back of the net. It was Moni's second game-winning goal in as many games.

WMU increased its lead to 2-0 in the 54th minute. Redshirt junior Jake Rufe got past his defender and played a ball to Clark who was able to find Bye for the goal. It was Clark's second assist of the game and Bye's ninth goal of the season.

Bye was able to find another goal in the 60th minute. Senior Jay McIntosh intercepted a pass then slipped a ball onto Bye who beat the goalkeeper to give the Broncos a 3-0 lead.
