DeKALB — Women’s basketball fell short of an upset in the first round of the Mid-American Conference tournament after losing to the Eastern Michigan University Eagles Monday 76-69.
The Huskies, who were ranked tenth, traveled to Ypsilanti, Michigan to face off against the seventh ranked Eagles. Redshirt senior guard Courtney Woods led the Huskies in scoring with 18 points for her final collegiate game. Senior guard Myia Starks finished with 14 points in her final performance as a Huskie, tying first-year forward A’Jah Davis.
"We're obviously going to miss [Woods],” Head coach Lisa Carlsen said in a NIU Athletics news release.
