KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- Head coach
Lewis Robinson and the Western Michigan women's soccer program are excited to announce the addition of four transfers for the 2026 season. Olivia Anderson, Sydney Dulak, Tessa Fagerson and Olivia Smith join the Broncos, who have gone 26-1-7 in MAC play over the last three seasons.
"We are incredibly excited to welcome this group of four talented mid-year transfers into our Bronco Soccer family," Robinson said. "Each of them arrives with valuable experiences at the collegiate level, a deep understanding of what it takes to compete, and the talent to contribute immediately on the field in our team. They are not only high-level soccer players, but also exceptional people who embody the character, work ethic, and humility we value."
"What stood out most in the recruiting process was their shared motivation and passion for raising standards and their hunger to win championships. We believe this group will have a tremendous impact on and off the field, and we are thrilled to add them to our program in January."
