LAST TIME OUT
Western Michigan earned a 69-55 win over Bowling Green in their rematch against the Falcons inside University Arena.
 
The Broncos dominated in their third straight conference win, leading throughout the contest on their way to a double-digit victory. Western Michigan led by as many as 17 points behind strong performances from the five starters as well as a number of Broncos contributing points off the bench.
 
Redshirt senior Breanna Mobley tied her season-high of 23 points, adding 13 rebounds for her 16th double-double of the season. She contributed 12 points in the third quarter alone, and went 7-of-8 from the free throw line. Jordan Walker and Chelayne Bailey also went into the double-digits, Walker with 15 points and five rebounds and Bailey adding 13 points and a team-high four assists. Sydney Shafer added eight points off the bench, helped by 2-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc.
 
Western Michigan's five turnovers were their lowest in a game since at least 2004, and their third straight win marked their longest streak during the conference season since 2016.

RECORD-BREAKING BRONCO

She became a member of the 1,000-point club against Miami on Jan. 20, 2018. The record puts her alongside former WMU legend and coach Pat Charity, who hit the milestone in the 1977-78 season. On Feb. 3 against Miami (Ohio), Mobley moved up to 1,028 rebounds to tie the all-time rebounding record, also earned by Charity, and broke the record on Feb. 8 against Eastern Michigan to move to 1,038 rebounds in her career. Mobley now holds the rebounding record for all of Bronco basketball.
