DeKALB | Redshirt senior Anthony Maddie’s first career start for the Huskies showed promise, as he led the Huskies (1-4) to their first win of the season 31-24 against the Ball State Cardinals (3-2) Saturday at Scheumann Stadium in Muncie, Indiana.
Coming off a four-game losing streak, NIU defeated Ball State to keep possession of the Bronze Stalk Trophy for the eighth consecutive year. The Huskies hold a 22-20-2 overall record in the series against the Cardinals.
“When Maddie was in [the game against Western Illinois University this past Saturday], the offense was much more productive,” Head Coach Rod Carey said at a press conference Sept.
