Volleyball set to host Western Michigan in last home game

DeKALB — The volleyball team will host the Western Michigan University Broncos in its last home match of the season Thursday.

Heading into the matchup, the Huskies have a chance at leveling their home record this season. NIU is currently 5-6 at Victor E. Court, and a win against the Broncos will snap a two-season home losing streak in MAC play.

The Huskies are 8-20 on the season after dropping their last two games Friday and Saturday to the University of Toledo and Ball State University at home.

Brinley Milbrath, redshirt senior middle blocker, played a big role for the Huskies against Toledo and Ball State, leading the team with 14 kills against the Rockets and 15 against the Cardinals.
