KALAMAZOO, Mich. – After splitting with Minnesota-Duluth on the road last weekend, the Western Michigan hockey team has moved up No. 15 in the latest USCHO.com poll and up to 14 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll.

After falling to the then-ranked No. 12 Bulldogs on Friday, WMU responded with a 5-0 shutout on Saturday. The shutout was the first of the season for the Broncos. Western Michigan popped back into the national rankings last week after sweeping No. 1 Denver.

The Broncos resume National Collegiate Hockey Conference play this weekend, hosting Omaha on Friday and Saturday. Saturday is WMU's annual Military Appreciation, where the Broncos will honor those who have served and are serving. Tickets are available by calling 1-888-4-WMUTIX and online at wmubroncso.com
