ABOUT WESTERN MICHIGAN (4-6-1, 2-1-1)

Maggie Rogers has seen the majority of time in goal for the Broncos and owns a 4-4-1 record with two shutouts and 57 saves.
SERIES HISTORY
The Cardinals and Broncos met twice in 2018 with BSU winning both matches. The first was during the regular season in Muncie when Ball State won 3-0.
