WMU is coming off a strong performance at the Mid-American Conference Championship. The Broncos finished in fifth place overall, the team's highest finish since 2018 and just the fourth time in the top five since 2000. Western Michigan was led by Makayla Perez and Kayla Schiera, who took fifth and seventh place en route to earning First Team All-MAC honors.
