Huskies dominate against EIU in 5-1 victory

DeKALB — Five goals from the men’s soccer team were more than enough to bury Eastern Illinois University Tuesday in a 5-1 victory at the Soccer and Track and Field Complex.

For the first time since 2010 when NIU beat University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, the Huskies scored five goals in a match.

There were two goals in under two minutes after the opening whistle for the Huskies as they led Eastern Illinois University 4-1 at the half.

The Markanich brothers once again made their presence known, as sophomore defenders Anthony Markanich and forward Nick Markanich each scored in the first half.
