TennZip Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 game starts at 5 pm...as Western Michigan has no lights Does anyone know if the game will have a cost to view the video.,........when you click on video for the Akron game in their schedule...it directs you to bronco all access TV they have not posted a preview for the Akron game...I have posted the preview that they did for home opener against Vermont....that preview says that game was on ESPN + https://wmubroncos.com/news/2024/8/21/mens-soccer-mens-soccer-set-to-host-14-university-of-vermont-in-season-opener.aspx preview for Thursday Aug 22 game KALAMAZOO, Mich. – #12 Western Michigan University men's soccer team begins the 2024 campaign Thursday, August 22, at 5:30 PM against #14 University of Vermont at WMU Soccer Complex. Thursday's match will be available on ESPN+. Top Drawer Soccer was very impressed by Western Michigan as the Broncos defeated two teams ranked in pre season top 15 of coaches poll (I think New Hampshire was 9 in coaches poll and 17 in Top drawer soccer pre season poll. I did not realize that WMU lost their 2 best scorers and all 4 of their defensive backs. small cut and paste from Top Drawer soccer article linked below Team to Watch: Western Michigan As highlighted in the article from early spring, Western Michigan finds a way to keep exceeding expectations. The Broncos were supposed to take a step back this year or at the least start the season slow after graduating the country’s leading goal scorer, Charlie Sharp, No. 3 in the nation, Dylan Sing, along with the entire backline and seven starters from last year’s NCAA third round team. Instead, Western Michigan opened its 2024 campaign by defeating No. 14 Vermont at home, then traveling to No. 17 New Hampshire and leaving with a 1-0 win. Redshirt freshman center-back Christian Shannon earned POTW honors for his performance, while junior Connor Buckett came in as a substitute to score in both games. https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/article/?categoryId=21&articleId=53732&articleTitle=best-of-mens-college-soccer-week-one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reslife4Life Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 From WMU game preview: "Since 2017, the Broncos have held a 4-3-3 record against Akron. A win over the Zips Friday will capture the Brown and Gold's second consecutive victory over their foes from Akron, Ohio." Just crazy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just crazy when WMU released their fall schedule, they bragged that they were 3-1-1 from 2019 to 2022 against the zips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me appreciate the view from the InfoCision Space Station. Can we get a clock or is that too advanced for the school that doesn't have lights at their DI soccer stadium? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
