The Northern Illinois Huskies (4-2, 2-0 MAC) return home after taking down the Toledo Rockets on the road last week and claiming sole possession of first place in the MAC West. NIU is one of just two undefeated teams in conference play, with Kent State being the other 2-0 team.
The Huskies will face off against the Bowling Green Falcons (2-4, 0-2 MAC), who are one of two MAC schools without a conference win so far, after dropping games to Kent State and Akron. Bowling Green has now lost ten straight conference games, last winning back in early November of 2019 against the Zips.
