Women's basketball opens season with home game against Harvard

DeKALB — The women’s basketball team is set to kick off its regular season 11 a.m. Tuesday at the Convocation Center against the Harvard University Crimson. NIU is coming off a solid performance Oct. 29 against Judson University, winning its preseason match 110-44.

NIU was lead by junior guard Gabby Nikitinaite with 15 points and six rebounds, including four offensive rebounds. NIU also received contributions from redshirt senior forward Courtney Woods and redshirt sophomore guard Janae Poisson, both recording 10 points.

Both Woods and Poisson went down with season-ending knee injuries early last season that hindered the Huskies severely.
