DeKALB – The Huskies soundly defeated the Rockford University Regents by a score of 96-48 Saturday. The team had a season-high 18 assists.
NIU struggled early in the season with getting players involved on offense, posting just seven combined assists in its first two games. The Huskies also shot a season-high 52% from the field, and 50% from the three-point line.
“I thought we got a lot of basketball out of everyone on the team, which was good to see,” Head Coach Mark Montgomery said. “We shot a high percentage. It was a feel-good win, but it was earned, and it wasn’t given, and I liked how we competed today on both ends.
