KALAMAZOO, MI – Toledo (9-11-0, 5-6-0 MAC) will begin the Mid-American Conference Tournament against Western Michigan (11-3-4, 8-1-2 MAC) on Sunday, Nov. 1 at 1:00 p.m at the WMU Soccer Complex.

UT closed the regular season with a three-match winning-streak which is currently the second-longest active in the conference.  During the streak, the Rockets found the back of the net seven times and outshot their opponents, 46-19.  The backline has also been in top form, only allowing one marker and four shots on goal.

This will be Toledo's second consecutive and 12^th overall MAC Tournament appearance for the Rockets. UT holds a 12-5-5 all-time record in the conference tourney, and last took home the title in 2011.  The Rockets have won the tournament a league-tying best four times, emerging victorious in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2011.

The Midnight Blue & Gold has faced the Broncos twice in the postseason. UT lost 1-0 in the semifinals of the 2010 tournament, but avenged the loss with a 1-0 win in the 2011 finals to capture the MAC crown and qualify for the NCAA Tournament.

The Rockets traveled to Western Michigan earlier in the season, where the Broncos won a tight 1-0 contest. Toledo was even in shots with the Broncos at 10-10, but WMU's Irene Young was able to break through late in the contest for the match-winner.

The winner of the UT-WMU match will take on the winner of the No. 3 Buffalo- No. 6 Central Michigan contest on Friday, Nov. 6. The location of the match is to be determined.
