— NU Women's Hoops (@nuwbball) November 20, 2015The Broncos are 2-1 on the season and are coming off a 65-56 win over Chicago State at University Arena in Kalamazoo, Mich. No. 20 Northwestern will be the second ranked team the Broncos will face this season, as WMU fell to No. 24 Michigan State 78-40 on Sunday, Nov. 15. The Brown & Gold won its home opener against UW-Parkside on 56-49 on Friday, Nov. 13. The Broncos, who are coming off a 20-13 overall, 11-7 MAC record last season were picked third in the West Division behind Eastern Michigan and Ball State. The 2014-15 campaign was one of Western Michigan's most successful in program history, as the team was one victory shy of tying the school record for wins (21) set in 1978.
LAST TIME OUT
Nia Coffey brought down 18 rebounds and secured her 23rd career double-double with 16 points as Northwestern (2-0) rolled past Idaho State (1-1) 72-36 on Thursday night at Welsh-Ryan Arena. The Wildcats relied on their defensive prowess early in the game, coming up with six steals in the first quarter and holding Idaho State to just five points. The Bengals proved to be a pesky opponent, but Northwestern was able to control the game with a dominant performance on the boards. Sophomore Maya Jonas was a key contributor on the glass, collecting a career high nine rebounds to give the Wildcats a spark off the bench.
