Northwestern (8-4) will play its third opponent from the state of Illinois in four games when it hosts the Division II Lewis University Flyers (4-6) tonight at Allstate Arena.
Members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the Flyers hail from Romeoville, Ill. The Wildcats have faced Lewis once in the Chris Collins era, a Nov. 6, 2013 exhibition matchup that saw Northwestern prevail 57-46.
Scott Trost is in the 12th year of a solid stint as the head coach of the Flyers, posting a winning record each year and earning four NCAA Tournament berths in the process.
