MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. -- The Western Michigan women's soccer team improved to 2-0 in Mid-American Conference play after defeating MAC West rivals Central Michigan, 1-0, on the road on Sunday afternoon.

Aubrey Sudomier knocked in the ball after a rebound on a shot by Nicole Hatcliffe to put the Broncos up 1-0 in the 27th minute and the WMU (8-2-0, 2-0-0 MAC) defense locked the Chippewas down to complete the shutout.

Stephanie Heber needed to make just two saves between the sticks to earn her fifth shutout of the season and the team's eighth. The Broncos outshot CMU 19-8 on the day, including holding them to just two total shots in the first half.

"Overall I am very happy with our performance and with the win," said head coach Nate Norman. "CMU is a good team and I thought they were very well organized and well coached. They were difficult to break down. I thought overall we created some quality chances on the attacking end, but also did a good job defending a talented attacking team in Central Michigan."

Along with Sudomier's second of the season, the senior forward led WMU in shots with four on the day. Diana Dedvukaj, Rachel Chaney and Irene Young also each had three.

Western Michigan hosts Ohio on Friday at 4 p.m. for it's MAC home-opener. Kent State visits the WMU Soccer Complex on Sunday at 1 p.m. for "Starving Student Day."
