Postgame Recap Video.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team claimed victory over the Huskies of Northern Illinois University, 62-55, today, Jan. 25, inside the Convocation Center. The win over the Huskies marks the first time the Eagles have topped their Mid-American Conference counterpart since March, 2018.

Eastern (9-9, 4-3 MAC) and Northern Illinois (5-13, 1-6 MAC) battled tooth-and-nail in a game where no team led by more than seven points. This conference battle saw 12 lead changes and eight ties through 40 minutes of action. Neither squad shot particularly well from deep (6-21 and 4-23, respectively), therefore, free-throws, second-chance points, and hustle plays were critical.
