Late match rally comes just short for #20 Western Michigan in season opener

KALAMAZOO, Mich. – The #20 Western Michigan men's soccer team tied the match up in the final 17 minutes but fell just short of a draw in a 2-1 final to the Kentucky Wildcats.

"Overall, I thought our performance on the day was poor," said Head Coach Chad Wiseman following the match. "We didn't match Kentucky's toughness in the 50-50 battles, and that's disappointing because I feel that's in our Bronco DNA."

Western Michigan's offense struggled to get going on Thursday night, not recording a shot through the first half at WMU Soccer Complex.
