DeKALB – Mid-American Conference play begins for the Huskies today, and with a 5-6-1 record, NIU has some scores to settle.
The Huskies started the season slow with a 1-4 record, before jumping to a four-match winning streak. The Huskies have proven they can compete at a level better than last season, and that should be the case for conference play this season.
NIU will open MAC play 2 p.m. today against Southern Illinois University at the Soccer and Track and Field Complex in DeKalb. This will be the second year in a row in which NIU opens conference play against SIU.
