In the season's first meeting between the Mountaineers and Broncos, WVU suffered a 1-0 loss in overtime on Oct. 20 at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Mountaineers played right with the then-eighth-ranked Broncos for more than 90 minutes before a foul was called on WVU just outside the box in overtime. On the ensuing free kick from 25 yards out, WMU scored the game winner in the 96th minute. West Virginia and Western Michigan both had five shots and two shots on goal in the contest.
