The Eastern Michigan University women’s team stifled the Northern Illinois University Huskies defensively on its way to victory, 84-60, Saturday afternoon in Ypsilanti.
The Eagles started off on a 6-0 run before the Huskies (10-15, 3-11 MAC) scored their first basket. New to the lineup, Sheyna Deans got right to it for EMU opening up the first quarter with eight points. The Eagles would force five turnovers to open up the second quarter leading 25-9.
“We did awesome job right from the beginning scoring from all areas outside and attacking the basket,” EMU coach Tory Verdi said.
