NIU junior forward Nick Markanich scored two goals and recorded an assist in just 45 minutes of action as the Huskies beat Chicago State, 10-0, in their lone game of the week. Markanich netted his first goal from the penalty spot in the 34th minute and added a second goal two minutes before halftime. He also recorded an assist on a goal by his brother, Anthony, in the 37th minute. NIU’s 10 goals against the Cougars are tied for the fourth-most in program history and the most in a game since the 1987 season.
