The Broncos will battle a 14-team field of Arkansas State, Illinois State, Little Rock, Missouri State, North Dakota State, Northern Illinois, Oral Roberts, South Dakota State, hosts UMKC, UTRGV, and Wichita state for the two-day tournament on Monday and Tuesday.

At the Bulldog Florida Invitational it was Claire Hernandez tying for second place as WMU's top finisher.
