MACOMB, Ill. -- The Western Michigan women's soccer team extended its unbeaten streak to four games after defeating Western Illinois 2-0 in 95-degree heat on the road on Sunday afternoon.

The Broncos picked up goals from Irene Young and Emma Kahn, while Stephanie Heber made three saves to earn her third shutout of the season. WMU outshot WIU 14-4 overall and 5-3 in shots on goal.

"It was one of the hottest days of soccer in my recent memory," said head coach Nate Norman. "I was still impressed with the intensity and passion that both teams played with. Western Illinois is definitely a good team and they made it very difficult on us. Overall I was very proud of how we played."

The Broncos took an early 1-0 lead on Young's second goal of the season. Junior midfielder Liz Abro played a cross into the box and Young headed it into the net.

WMU held its 1-0 lead into the second half. WIU's Daniela Salinas was cited for a red card in the 68th minute to put the Leathernecks down a player. Western Michigan was able to take control of the game and Kahn added her fifth goal of the season in the 82nd minute. A failed clearance off a corner kick led the ball to Young, who found Kahn for the goal.
