KALAMAZOO, Mich.- The Western Michigan women's soccer team tied Toledo 0-0 this afternoon.

In the first half the Broncos were able to get some solid shots on goal, WMU outshoot the Rockets 24-9 in the game. Senior midfielder Emma Kahn and senior midfielder Kendall Juhnke both hit the cross bar off of shots in the first half.
