Huskies top DeKalb United in inaugural DeKalb Derby

DeKALB -- A hat-trick from transfer first-year Enrique Banuelos led the Huskies to a 3-0 win Friday over DeKalb County United in the first DeKalb Derby.

Banuelos needed only one period to paint the scoresheet. His first goal came six minutes into the match. The transfer from University of Virginia added his second at the 14-minute mark before closing out his tally with a third goal just five minutes before the first period’s final whistle.

The match was conducted on a three-period format with each period being 30-minutes long.

Head Coach Ryan Swan told NIU Athletics he was happy with the results of the match.
