The Broncos clinched a 2-0 win over Valparaiso at the WMU Soccer Complex, a result that not only added two more points to their ledger but also cemented a 22‑game unbeaten stretch on their own turf.

Sophia Bowman opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, netting her second goal of the campaign, while Tessa Fagerson doubled the lead in the 78th minute after a precise assist.

Goalkeeper Kate Sheridan earned her first victory of the season, making a series of key saves that kept Valparaiso at bay despite late‑stage pressure.

Coach's emphasis on aggressive forward play paid dividends early, with several chances created before halftime, while a blocked shot by a Valparaiso defender highlighted the Broncos' defensive organization.

The win sets up a highly anticipated home encounter with Illinois on September 3, streamed live on ESPN+, where the Broncos aim to continue their momentum.
