Women's basketball says goodbye to five seniors

DeKALB — Women’s basketball will say goodbye to five seniors after seeing their season ended in the first round of the Mid-American Tournament.

“This group is special,” Head Coach Lisa Carlsen said. “Many are a part of that first recruiting class, a huge foundation for what we build.”

The Huskies will lose both longtime starting guards Myia Starks and Courtney Woods. Starks has started all games for the past two years, known mainly for her defense; she averaged almost two steals per game in her career.

Woods has had a very successful scoring career at NIU, surpassing 2,000 career points to finish second in school history behind Lisa Foss this season.
