DeKALB — NIU won their first game at the division-one hockey on Saturday, defeating Midland University at the Canlan Ice Center in West Dundee.
This was the most complete game NIU has had on the young season. Special teams played well, allowing no power-play goals while scoring one themselves. Good defense, goalie play, and three goals were the formula for the first Huskie win of the season.
After losing 7-1 on Friday night, the Huskies were able to exact some revenge, winning 3-1. This moves NIU to 1-3 on the season, and 1-1 in Midwest College Hockey conference play.
