Woods becomes NIU's second leading scorer all-time in loss to Ball State

DeKALB Redshirt senior forward Courtney Woods became NIU’s second leading scorer in program history. Woods passed Carol Owens on the list by scoring 18 points in a 97-89 loss to the Ball State University Cardinals on Wednesday.

Woods passed Owens with 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter and now sits 936 points behind Lisa Foss for career-points scored as a Huskie

Outside of Woods’ historic night NIU struggled controlling the ball, as the team turned the ball over 24 times which helped Ball State score 29 points.

“29 points off those 24 turnovers, puts a lot of pressure on your defense in transition,” Head Coach Lisa Carlsen said.
