DeKALB — After mounting a comeback from a two goal deficit, the Huskies couldn’t keep the momentum rolling in a 5-3 loss to the Missouri State University Ice Bears on Friday night.
NIU was down 3-1 toward the end of the second period, but the team responded, scoring twice to knot the game at three goals apiece. But that’s where the scoring would end for the Huskies and the Ice Bears would score twice more to cap the victory.
Despite the loss, Head Coach Mike Rucinski felt there were a lot of positives to take away from the game.
