DeKALB — Head Coach Lisa Carlsen took the podium Wednesday for NIU's Winter Sports Media Day. Early into her speech, she let the audience know her expectations for the women’s basketball team this year.
“Every year our goals don’t change,” Carlsen said. “We’re all chasing the MAC championship. We are all chasing the opportunity to play at the NCAA level.”
Carlsen said there are three areas a team must have in order to be competitive and successful. Talent, culture, and game planning are the areas that Carlsen believes will keep the Huskies competitive.
“When you put these three things together, I think you have a recipe for success,” Carlsen said.
