Junior Guard Meredith Shipman's Journey to Starter and Team Captain

As the Western Michigan women’s basketball team heads to Athens, Ohio to begin conference play against the Ohio Bobcats (8-3) on Jan. 2, at 2:00 p.m., junior guard Meredith Shipman’s conviction in her team’s preparation is strong.

After finishing the non-conference season with a confidence building 73-41 win over Ferris State, Shipman stated, “I think we made the most out of our preseason schedule, Puerto Rico taught us a lot and we are ready to start MAC (Mid-American Conference) play.”

This will be the Shipman’s third year as a Bronco and the first time she will hear her name called in the starting lineup against MAC rivals.
