KALAMAZOO, Mich. -- The Western Michigan women's soccer team will look to keep rolling, as the Broncos host Ohio on Thursday afternoon at the WMU Soccer Complex. The game is set to begin at 4 PM.
LAST TIME OUT
Western Michigan kept its unbeaten streak alive, collecting a 1-1 tie at Bowling Green on Sept. 21.
Avery Peters scored WMU's lone goal of the match, while
Drew Martin tallied an assist.
Reagan Sulaver continued her brilliant freshman season, stopping three shots in net.
HOME SWEET HOME
The WMU Soccer Complex has become one of the toughest places to play in the nation, with the Broncos rarely losing at their home stadium.
The Broncos have gone 14 straight games without a loss on their home field and that number grows if you look at just regular season play.
Western Michigan's regular season home unbeaten streak currently sits at 20 games. WMU's last regular season home loss came back on Sept. 3, 2023 against Wisconsin.
