Looking forward to the 2017-18 NIU women’s basketball season? Here’s a look at the Top 5 players to keep an eye on this basketball season.

After making it to the Mid-American Conference Championship for the first time in school history last season, the women’s basketball team looks to come back with a vengeance.

Last season the Huskies finished as the No. 4 seed in the MAC West Division, as they fell to the No. 6 seed Toledo Rockets in the MAC Championship.

The Huskies lost one of their key contributors, guard Ally Lehman, who broke multiple school records in her final season at NIU, including single season 10 assist games, single season game scoring and most consecutive 25 point games.
