KALAMAZOO, Mich. – For the final time in the regular season, the Western Michigan women's basketball team will play inside University Arena, welcoming Ball State for a 2 p.m. contest on Saturday.

As a result of WMU's victory on Thursday evening at Eastern Michigan, the Broncos enter Saturday owning the No. 4 seed for the MAC Championship while the Cardinals (20-9, 12-5 MAC) are currently seeded second. The top four teams receive first round byes.

Bailey poured in a season-high 18 points at Ball State and has started 26 games after joining the program following her graduation from Syracuse. Fletcher delivered her first steal of the season Thursday at EMU and has played in 42 games since arriving in Kalamazoo after her transfer from West Virginia State.
