WMU improved to 4-2 overall and 2-1 on the road while the Bison fell to 1-6 on the young season. The Bison hit a 3-pointer with 4.0 seconds left in the game to bring the score to 66-63, but the Broncos were able to ice the game away from the free-throw line, where the team scored its final seven points. WMU went 0-for-9 from beyond the arc, making this the first time in 58 games the team did not make a 3-pointer.

The Bison opened the game hot, hitting their first three shots,  two coming from beyond the arc, to gain a 9-2 advantage early. The Broncos came back to regain the lead using a 15-2 run during the first and second quarters. Junior Alexis Parks had a put-back layup as the buzzer sounded to end the first half and give the Broncos a 30-29 lead.

In the third quarter, Mobley took over, scoring 12 of her 16 points. WMU outscored the Bison 17-12 in third quarter, continuing their dominance in the second half. The Broncos moved to 4-0 this season when leading after three quarters; they finished 15-2 last season when leading after three. 

Hill poured in a career-high 24 points while Mobley added 16. The duo combined to go 15-for-20 from the floor and 10-for-11 from the free-throw line. Sophomore Deja Wimby, the Mid-American Conference's leader in steals, finished with a game-high four steals, scored nine points and led the team in both assists (5) and rebounds (6).
