DeKALB — The football team saw its postseason hopes shatter Tuesday in a 45-17 blowout loss to the Eastern Michigan University Eagles.
With the loss, NIU is eliminated from Mid-American Conference title contention and will fall short of the 6-6 record necessary to become bowl eligible.
Head Coach Thomas Hammock said EMU attacked the Huskies’ weak points, which were the result of injuries on both sides of the ball.
“Our kids went out there and battled,” Hammock said. “At this point in the season, we just want to go out on a good performance for our seniors.
