KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan women's soccer team improved to 5-1-0 on the season and earned its third-straight shutout at the WMU Soccer Complex after defeating Illinois-Chicago, 3-0, on Sunday afternoon.

The Broncos held the Flames to just two total shots on the day while firing off 23. Lindsey Lee, Rachel Chaney and Liz Abro all scored goals in the win. Stephanie Heber did not have to make a save on the day to earn the shutout, while her counterpart Kelly Fritz made 11 for UIC.

"We did a lot of good things today," said head coach Nate Norman. "We kept a lot of possession and created a lot of chances. It was great to get a set piece goal as well. I was impressed with UIC, though. I think their staff has done a fantastic job with their team. They play a good brand of soccer and made it difficult on us."

After several chances in the first half WMU broke through in the 41st minute. Diana Dedvukaj lobbed a corner kick into the box and Lee headed it into the net for her first goal of the season and second career goal.

WMU pushed its lead to 2-0 in the 71st minute. Oliva Vollmers played the ball to Chaney, who shot it from 15 yards out and over Fritz for her second of the season.

The Broncos added their third and final goal of the night in the 87th minute. Abro was unmarked and Mackenzie Barber found her alone and she buried it into the net from 15 yards out.

Western Michigan wraps up non-conference play with a trip to Illinois State on Friday and then hosts Saint Louis on Sunday at 2 p.m.
