NIU women’s basketball returns four starters from last season’s team that was top-five in the MAC in scoring offense, three-pointers per game and three-point field goal percentage. The Huskies have made over 200 threes in each of the last seven seasons and will bring that same fast-paced offensive style to the court this year. NIU was 9-4 at the Convocation Center last year with wins over DePaul and the reigning MAC champions Toledo.
