The Broncos will welcome the Colorado Buffaloes to the WMU Soccer Complex on Thursday at 4 p.m., marking the first meeting of the season between the two programs.
Western Michigan arrives with a 24‑2‑3 record at home since 2023 and an 18‑game winning streak that stands as the longest active home streak in the nation, last broken by a loss to Kent State in November 2023.
The team’s recent triumph over Hawaii in the Outrigger Invitational showcased freshman Camryn Huhn, who contributed a goal and an assist, as well as Sophia Bowman, Tessa Fagerson and Irelyn Sheldon, each scoring their first career goals.
Veteran Meredith Vance added her second assist of the season, underscoring the depth of the Broncos’ midfield as they prepare for Thursday’s contest.
