DeKALB — Women’s basketball begins its season Saturday after coming off of one of the most successful seasons the program has seen in over 20 years.
Head Coach Lisa Carlsen enters her third season with the Huskies, as her team finished with a 21-12 overall record and a trip to the Mid-American Conference Championship last season. It was only the fifth time in school history that the Huskies accomplished a 20-win season and the team’s first time since 1993-94.
However, it will not be the same MAC Championship team returning in 2017-18, as the Huskies lost two of their starters and key components on offense with guard Ally Lehman and forward Cassidy Glenn now graduated.
