Opened in August 2007, the state-of-the-art Jeffrey and Kimberly Yordon Center benefits every student-athlete and all 17 programs on campus. The Yordon Center provides Huskie student-athletes with facilities in which to develop their minds, bodies and spirits as they work toward achieving academic and athletic success. It is a cornerstone facility in Northern Illinois’ athletic footprint centrally located adjacent to Huskie Stadium as well as NIU’s baseball, softball, tennis and soccer sites. Every aspect of the Yordon Center is designed to help NIU meet its goal of Developing Champions, in the classroom, in competition and in life. This facility helps ensure the ongoing success of the Northern Illinois intercollegiate athletic program by providing an impressive welcome for prospective student-athletes and their families, alumni, donors, guests and visitors. A few highlights of this multi-purpose facility: Frances and George Wilkins Academic Support Center (honoring Carole & Joe Novak): The heart of the 62,000-square foot facility features one-on-one tutorial rooms, a group study room and a fully-equipped computer lab, as well as offices for the counselors of the Student-Athlete Academic Support Services (SAASS). This area brings the staff of SAASS into direct daily contact with NIU’s student-athletes. Strength and Conditioning Center: At 12,500 square-feet, the center allows NIU’s professional strength and conditioning coaches avoid scheduling conflicts while allowing space for warm-ups, plyometric

The spacious computer lab provides all Huskie studentathletes with a comfortable learning environment in which to further their academic pursuits.

The Yordon Center opened in August of 2007, and was dedicated Sept. 8 when the NIU football played host to Southern Illinois.

The Convocation Center has been the center of entertainment and athletics in DeKalb for over five years, featuring acts from B.B. King to Kanye West, and acting as the heart of NIU athletics. NIU President John G. Peters called the building “a jewel rising out of the prairie,” upon seeing the center lit from a distance on a drive home from Springfield. The $36 million arena was completed in 2002 after 22 months of construction, and has since hosted musicians, comedians, trade shows, and, of course, Huskie Athletics. The Convocation Center is home to both the Northern Illinois men’s and women’s basketball teams, as well as the Huskie volleyball, wrestling, gymnastics and women’s indoor track and field squads. It has seating for up to 9,100 in the 45,000-squarefoot “bowl” arena, an four-sided video scoreboard, and a 200-meter track. There are four private suites, each with seating for 20, and one clublevel suite seating 70. The Convocation Center also houses Victor E. Court, an auxiliary gym with seating for 800. The Huskie volleyball team plays all its home matches at V.E.C., which also hosts wrestling and gymnastics meets and provides additional practice space for the NIU basketball teams. The first Northern Illinois athletic event in the new facility occurred on August 30, 2002, when the Huskie women’s volleyball team defeated IUPUI, 3-1, in the opening round of the Best Western Invitational at Victor E. Court. On November 22, 2002, the Huskie women’s basketball initiated NIU athletics’ “The Big Weekend,” a Huskie triple-header that spanned three days. The women’s team opened the Convocation Center in style by topping Wisconsin, 49-47, thanks to a nine-foot bank shot by guard Monique Davis with 0:02 to play.

Top: Victor E. Court provides an auxiliary practice space for the Huskie basketball teams, as well as serving as the competition home for volleyball, wrestling and gymnastics. Middle two: The Convocation Center features a complete training room that includes a cardio area. Bottom: The women’s basketball locker room has plenty of room for discussing the X’s and O’s of the game before the tip and at half-time.

The next day, the Huskie men’s hoops team drew a campus-record 8,041 spectators to the Convocation Center where they saw NIU drop a 63-48 decision to DePaul. To conclude opening weekend, No. 3 Minnesota edged the Northern Illinois wrestlers, 2417, before 3,858 fans, including former U.S. Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. Since the opening weekend, Northern Illinois teams have played in over 200 contests at the Convocation Center, including some of the most memorable match-ups in Huskie athletics lore. The NIU volleyball team continued its winning ways at the Convocation Center in 2003 when the Huskies defeated Kansas to win the NIU Best Western Invitational. In 2005, the men’s basketball team electrified 5,389 of the Huskie faithful with a 7570 overtime win over Kansas State. Most recently, the NIU wrestling team posted a 22-19 victory over fifth-ranked Northwestern on Nov. 30, 2007. These historic victories are just a few examples of how the Huskies are building new tradition at the Convocation Center. Right: The spacious women’s basketball locker room has enough room for players to relax after the game, in between classes, or anytime.

Northern Illinois women’s basketball coach Carol Owens will be the first to tell you, the return of the “NIU Red Riot” has taken over the Huskie student body. The “Red Riot” is a student-fan group whose members enthusiastically support Huskie Basketball, while promoting a positive image of NIU and its student body. Seated on the lower bowl of the Convocation Center directly across from the visiting bench, the “Red Riot” truly gives the Huskies a ‘sixth’ man on the court. The Sixth Man Grille, sponsored by the Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund, provides VIP hospitality for HASF members and a pre-game “chalk talk” from a member of the women’s basketball coaching staff before each home game. The Huskie band plays and the cheerleaders entertain the crowd in eager anticipation of tip-off. Old friends and alumni shop for souvenirs and stop by the concession stands before heading to their seats. As the pre-game clock winds to zero, the referee tosses the ball at mid-court and the Huskie nation screams at every play, always ready to support NIU basketball. Following each women’s basketball game at the Convocation Center, fans are invited to the arena floor to meet and greet Huskie players and coaches. During the “Circle of Fans,” Northern Illinois players sign autographs, offer hugs and handshakes and thank all those in attendance.

One of the benefits to playing basketball at NIU is the opportunity for travel to different areas of the country and even outside the United States. Last year, the Huskies travelled to New York to compete in the Seton Hall Classic. In addition to playing in the tournament, the team took in the sights and sounds of the Big Apple, including a Broadway show. Two years ago, the Huskies spent a week in Cancun, Mexico where they competed in the Caribbean Challenge and took time to enjoy some of the local culture, as well as the Moon Palace Resort.

Other recent trips have seen the Huskies head to Florida, where the Huskies played in the Fun in the Sun Tournament, and Kansas where the Huskies had the opportunity to play in historic Allen Field House.

The home of Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois provides NIU students with a collegetown atmosphere in the shadow of one of the world’s great cities. Located just 65 miles west of downtown Chicago and less than half that distance from the city’s ever-expanding western suburbs, DeKalb maintains a unique character and offers a quality existence to its nearly 45,000 residents. DeKalb is successfully combining the old and the new as brick-paved streets and historic homes co-exist with a growing business sector and brand new residential and commercial developments. The proximity of Chicago, the third-largest city in the United States, means that local citizens, including NIU student-athletes, have easy access to the city’s many offerings, including cultural events and festivals, professional sports, restaurants, theatres and recreational facilities. Three airports – O’Hare, Midway and Rockford – are within an hour’s drive of the NIU campus. In addition to many activities, including athletics, available on campus, DeKalb is famous for its annual “CornFest,” welcoming students back to town in late August. During CornFest, streets in downtown DeKalb are closed, bands play and vendors open their doors to the returning population. Nearly 10,000 ears of sweet corn from fields that surround the city are given away free at the Corn Boil. A comprehensive bus service, proposed highspeed fiber-optic cable installation and a young population (25% are age 20-25) make DeKalb a growing and vibrant community in which to live, work and play.

DeKalb’s CornFest (bottom three) and Taste of Chicago (top two) are two popular summertime events. The Taste leads up to Chicago’s Fourth of July festivities, while CornFest coincides with the students’ return to campus in late August.

As the home of Northern Illinois University, DeKalb offers an exciting “Communiversity” environment, rich with intellectual and cultural

opportunities. The communities of DeKalb and Sycamore and Northern Illinois act as partners in many projects, like “Huskies on Parade,” a visual tribute to the bond between the cities and NIU. The DeKalb Park District offers a variety of recreational program opportunities and facilities and includes nearly 670 acres of open space featuring 21 neighborhood playgrounds, two golf courses, an aquatic center, numerous baseball and softball fields, outdoor basketball and tennis, a skate park and disc golf course. The beautiful new $102 million, 100-bed Kishwaukee Community Hospital is the flagship of KishHealth Systems. Advanced technology includes PET/CT scanner, MRI, inpatient dialysis, digital mammography, bedside medication verification, Smart IV pumps, and an innovative electronic communication system for caregivers and doctors. DeKalb is not only the home of the Huskies, but also the birthplace of barbed wire. Joseph Glidden and Isaac Ellwood invented the fencing in DeKalb in 1873. The material was manufactured locally until 1938, and gives the city its nickname, “The Barb City.”

DeKalb is located just 65 miles west of the third largest city in America - Chicago. Unquestionably one of the great centers of art, architecture, sports and music in the country, Chicago is just a short car or train ride away. DeKalb’s proximity to “The Second City” also means that “The Barb City” is serviced by two major international airports.

2009-10 season outlook Eighth grade science class taught us that alone, sodium and chlorine are poisonous. Alone, they are deadly. Alone, you should avoid each at all costs. But together, formed into common table salt, they are essential to life. The magic that makes it happen? Chemistry. The Northern Illinois women’s basketball team will try to find a bit of that magic chemistry for the 2009-10 season, as head coach Carol Owens embarks on her fifth season at the helm of the Huskies. Owens, a Northern Illinois hall-of-famer and member of the Huskies’ first NCAA Tournament team, has experienced the kind of chemistry it takes to get to the top. “I know how chemistry is when you have a championship team,” Owens said. “I think we have that potential in being that.” While Owens believes her team can play at an elite level this season, she also knows the Huskies have to improve each day to get there. “I know what we have on this team, it’s time to step up and show what we have,” Owens said. While last season ended with a disappointing first round loss in the Mid-American Conference Tournament, the result instilled a resolve in the Huskies to train harder than ever during the offseason to prepare for 2009-10. “This was the first year that everyone was able to work out this summer, work on their game, get stronger, get in better shape, and that hasn’t been the case at all since I’ve been here,” Owens said. The hard work in the summer has carried into the fall. The Huskies are entering the season with a sense of purpose, according to Owens. “As we go into this year, I think the players are hungry,” she said. “We still have a ways to go, but I like where our attitude is, the vision of our team, how hard they’re working.” That diligent ethic on the practice court

Kylie York has developed the court vision and skill to add pinpoint passing to her usual barrage from three-point territory.

and in the weight room has resulted in a team that Owens said is entering the season ahead of any team she has coached. With a core of nine returning letterwinners and three starters, the Huskies are poised to continue the forward momentum. The Northern Illinois starting frontcourt will be among the best in the Mid-American Conference. All-MAC performer Ebony Ellis, who garnered honorable mention accolades last year as a sophomore, returns for her junior year to anchor the Huskies inside. The conference’s second-best rebounder, Ellis averaged 8.8 boards per contest, and ranks second in scoring among Huskie returners with 9.5 points per game. More dangerous than her averages is her efficiency, as she scored at a 49 percent clip from the field as a sophomore. “Ebony is that leader by example,” Owens said. “I think she is probably her worst critic sometimes, and that gives her a work ethic that has made her focus on being better for us this year.” Fellow junior Mauvolyene Adams will line up opposite Ellis on the Northern Illinois frontline. One of the most versatile forwards in the MAC, Adams ranked in

the top five on the team in seven different statistical categories last season. Adams found her way into the starting lineup nine games into the year, and proved she belonged shortly after. Second to only Ellis on the team in rebounding at 5.3 per game, Adams also average 7.3 points while shooting 43.5 percent from the field. “(Mauvolyene) is as good as it gets in terms of skill,” Owens said. “She is probably one of the best forwards in our conference because she can handle the ball, she can face up, she can post-up, she can rebound, she can do it all.” Freshman Shaakira Haywood will round out the Huskie frontcourt. A 6-2 product of Canton, Mich., Haywood was a threetime team captain and two-time team Most Valuable Player at Plymouth High School before coming to NIU. With such a strong inside game, the Huskies can expect teams to pack it in defensively in a bid to shut down the inside. But Northern Illinois has a backcourt willing to punish opponents who play an unbalanced defense. Senior sharpshooter Kylie York has familiarized herself with three-point ter-

2009-10 season outlook ritory in her three years in the Cardinal and Black. The Fishers, Ind. native has the Hoosier touch from the outside. With 201 made threes in her career, York needs just 20 to become the top long-range shooter in Huskie history. Her 76 treys last season were third all-time, behind the 77 she hit the year before, and Denise Dove’s 80 threes in 1988-89. But Owens knows there’s much more to York than a pretty shot. “We are very in sync with each other; I know how she thinks, and she knows how I think,” Owens said. “She is a student of the game, too. She watches a lot of film, which has given her good court vision and passing.”

“Terriel can do a little bit of everything,” Owens said. “She can shoot, she can rebound, and has the experience.” Other possibilities include sophomores Sarah Rogers, who averaged 10.2 minutes per game as a freshman, and Tenisha Wilson, who proved she can score with a nine-point outburst against UMBC in just her third collegiate game. Owens said she can see any and all three playing significant roles in 2009-10. Other players that will factor in with the Huskies include junior Bianca Brown, sophomore Courtney Shelton, and freshman Brittney Callahan. Brown has been a steady part of the Huskie lineup for two seasons, playing in 44 games with two

starts. Shelton saw action in 13 games as a freshman, and Callahan will look to follow in her footsteps by cracking the rotation in her first season. The talent for the Huskies to compete at a championship level is all in place. On the 20th anniversary of the team she led to the Northern Star Conference Championship, Owens knows what it takes to get there. “We have to continue to get better with our chemistry as a team,” she said. “Not that our chemistry is bad, but will it be at the level we need it to be for this year? That still remains to be seen. But I like where we are at, and I like where we are going.”

The stats bear out Owens’ description of York, who last year dished out 48 assists and had the best assist-to-turnover ratio on the team. While Ellis, Adams and York return to the starting roles they played in 2008-09, one player will be changing roles from spark plug off the bench, to on-court coach. Junior point guard Marke Freeman returns for her second season at NIU after blitzing Huskie rivals to earn MAC Sixth Player of the Year honors last year. The team’s top returning scorer, Freeman average 9.6 points per game as a relentless point guard with a knack for making passes opponents never saw coming, and knocking down lay-ups no one thought possible. “She wants to win, she wants to win bad,” Owens said of Freeman. “You can’t teach the level of competitiveness that you want from someone who has the ball in their hands all the time, and she has that.” The fifth slot in the Huskies starting lineup, a role filled for two seasons by Shari’ Welton, is still up for grabs. But a lack of a clear-cut favorite to take the spot doesn’t mean a lack of talented candidates. The most experienced of the bunch is senior Terriel Cannon, a versatile guard who is coming off a knee injury.

CAROL OWENS Carol Owens embarks on her fifth season at the helm of Northern Illinois University’s women’s basketball team in 2009-10. In that time, she has built NIU into a contender in the Mid-American Conference and has been recognized by her peers as one of the top coaches in the country. In recognition of that fact, Owens has been selected to coach four United States national teams, spending two years as an assistant before being asked to lead two others, and two professional organizations have selected her to serve on their board of directors. While her accomplishments are impressive, they are not surprising. From her days as a player at Northern Illinois, through the years she has spent working her way up the coaching ranks, Owens’ passion for basketball and drive for success have led her to this point. Since the day she returned home to take the head coaching position at her alma mater, Owens has worked tirelessly to return the NIU women’s basketball program to the success it enjoyed during her playing days. It didn’t take her long to set the Huskies on that path. The team enjoyed a five-win improvement her first season, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Mid-American Conference Tournament in 2005-06. The Huskies took a big step forward in Owens’ second campaign when NIU turned in one of its best seasons in recent memory. Northern posted its first winning season in five years, going 19-12 and advancing to the semifinals of the 2007 MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament. That year, the Huskies broke several school records, including three-pointers made (236) and attempted (639) and NIU set the single-season mark for free throw percentage, hitting 78.9 percent from the charity stripe. Northern Illinois continued to build on that success in 2008-09. The Huskies won 10 Mid-American Conference contests, the most since 2000-01. The total included going 5-1 to open league play, the best conference start since the Huskies went undefeated in Mid-Continent Conference play during the 1993-94 season. While the Huskies have enjoyed success under Owens on the court, they have also excelled in the classroom. Last season, Becky Smith and Jessie Wilcox became the third and fourth Huskies under Owens to earn Academic All-MAC accolades, following Jennifer Uptmor and Shari’ Welton. In 2006-07, 10 Huskies posted a cumulative grade point average. of 3.0. Northern Illinois earned recognition from the NCAA after posting Academic Progress Rate numbers for 2006-07 that qualified them in the Top 10 percent of all women’s basketball programs. NIU was one of 33 Division I women’s basketball programs recognized nationwide and the only MAC team in the Top 10 percent of APR for women’s basketball that year. The success Owens has achieved has not gone unnoticed, and earning the respect of those in your field is the highest compliment any coach can receive. In 2008, Owens was named to the Board of Directors of both the Black Coaches Association and Women’s Basketball Coaches Association. Owens’ national reputation has grown during her NIU tenure as she has twice been invited to serve as a coach with USA Basketball, beginning in April of 2006, when she was selected to serve as an assistant to DePaul’s Doug Bruno on Team USA’s FIBA Americas U18 Championship Team. Owens spent the summer of 2006 in Colorado Springs, Colo. helping lead the United States to the gold medal. She was back on Team USA’s bench in the summer of 2007, this time in Europe, coaching USA Basketball’s Women’s U19 World Championship Team under Bruno. As they did the year before, Team USA cruised through the field and brought home the gold. USA Basketball was impressed with what they saw from Owens, and in March of 2008, the organization asked her to become head coach of the 2008 U18 World Championship Team. Owens led

NIUHUSKIES.COM

PREVIEW COACHES HUSKIES Team USA to gold, defeating Argentina, 81-37. Her success continued this summer as head coach of the 2009 U19 World Championship Team, which she led to the gold medal. Throughout her coaching career, Owens has had the opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the country. She spent 10 years as an assistant to Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw from 1995-2005. She was on the Notre Dame bench for 10 straight NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Fours and one National Championship. Working with Bruno on the USA Basketball teams was an ironic twist of fate for Owens. Rivals on the hardwood when Owens and the Huskies played against Bruno’s teams at DePaul, the pair teamed up to twice bring home the gold for Team USA, and enjoy a strong friendship. In addition to working with top-notch coaches, Owens has coached some outstanding players during her career, including four who went on to careers in the Women’s National Basketball Association.

At Northern Illinois, her most famous pupil was Stephanie Raymond. The 20th overall pick in the 2007 WNBA Draft, Raymond was the first Huskie in school history drafted by the league. Her selection by the Chicago Sky topped off one of the best seasons by a Huskie in recent memory. Raymond closed out her career at NIU as the school’s fifth-leading scorer, and set the school record for steals and assists in a game. She also set the school record for free throw percentage in a season (90.1 percent) and a (83.9 percent). Raymond is just one of four players Owens has sent to the WNBA. During her tenure in South Bend, Owens’ coaching focus centered on the development of Notre Dame’s post players. Her most famous pupil, Ruth Riley (1997-2001), capped off her Irish days as the consensus National Player of the Year (2000-01) and earned All-America status.

Northern Illinois women’s basketball. In her freshman year, she averaged 13.4 points and 8.1 rebounds a game, but missed the 1986-87 season due to a knee injury. She was named team captain when she returned to the floor her sophomore year as NIU finished 14-14. The Huskies made a big jump in Owens’ junior year. NIU posted the first 20-win season in school history in 1988-89 with a 23-7 record. The following season, Northern Illinois finished 26-5 and made their first NCAA Tournament appearance, advancing to the second round. Owens finished her career as NIU’s first 2,000-career points/1,000-career rebounds performer. She was a two-time Kodak District Four All-America (1988-89 and 1989-90), a USBWA District Four All-America (1989-90), the North Star Conference Player of the Year (1989-90), a three-year First-Team All-NSC pick (1987-90) and a three-time Huskie captain. She averaged 21.7 points her senior year on a team that averaged a school-record 94.5 points a game. Owens left NIU with 13 school records and still holds three career records, two single-season marks and three single-game records. Owens finished her career with 2,102 points, second all-time. She still holds the career record for blocked shots with 244, free throws made (466) and is tied for first in double-digit scoring streak at 68 games. She holds the single-season records in free throws attempted and scoring among juniors (632 points). She is tied for the single-game scoring mark with 41 points against the University of Illinois on Dec. 16, 1989. She set the single-game steals record at 11 against Western Illinois on Dec. 1, 1988. Owens made 112 career starts, had 105 career double-digit scoring games, 41 career doubledigit rebound performances and 39 career double-doubles. Owens co-captained the North squad that captured the Silver Medal at the 1986 United States Olympic Sports Festival and received an invitation to the U.S. National Team Trials in 1990. She played professionally overseas for three seasons before joining the coaching ranks at the University of Michigan (1993-95). Owens has been enshrined in the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame and the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. At NIU, she was selected by the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty as her graduating class commencement marshal and was named the institution’s Outstanding Woman. The Chicago native graduated from NIU with a bachelor’s degree in communications in 1990. Owens has worked hard to get where she is today. Her passion for excellence is matched only by her love for the game. Her desire to return Northern Illinois women’s basketball to the glory of its past is what drives her.

Owens had previously been on staff of Team USA’s FIBA Americas U18 Championship Team in 2006. After the victory over Sweden, Owens stood with the rest of the American squad; hand over her heart, for the playing of the National Anthem. When she returned home, Owens turned her attention to her team and set her sights on preparing them for a challenging 2007-08 season. While grateful for the opportunity to coach with USA Basketball, the Chicago native did not have any plans to return to the bench in red, white and blue. Then, in early 2008, Owens was presented with a once in a lifetime opportunity. After spending two years as an assistant coach, USA Basketball invited her to become the next head coach of Team USA’s U18 Championship Team.

While tremendously flattered by the request, Owens did not want to jump to a hasty decision. After all, she and the Huskies were in the midst of their 2007-08 campaign. She wanted to take some time to make the right decision. “I have to admit, I was very surprised,” Owens said. “An honor like that doesn’t come as quick as it did. It took me a while to think it through to see if it was something I really

“Experiencing another country is an education in itself,” she said. “I encourage any and every player that if they have that opportunity to study abroad or play professionally to go do it. I think it makes you a better person. It’s made me a better person. It’s made me a well-rounded individual. You really appreciate a lot of things that you have. You appreciate other people and their cultures.”

wanted to be involved in. I think the (NIU) staff was very instrumental in pushing me toward that and in my ultimate decision to accept the job. It was great. I pushed it back in my mind because we were still finishing up the season.” Having served as an assistant coach for the previous two summers with Team USA, Owens was well aware of the commitment it required. But there was another factor Owens weighed when making her decision. “There are not a lot of African-American women that have coached USA basketball,” she said. “To be one of those, it’s a great accomplishment. It’s something all women can aspire to do because it’s a great experience.” One of the aspects that make working with USABasketball so appealing to Owens is the opportunity to travel and experience different cultures. No stranger to international travel, she played professionally in Japan, Spain and Italy

before calling it a career, and spent last summer in Bangkok, Thailand with USA Basketball. Owens believes her time abroad has made her a better person.

Still, with all the travel, the opportunity to meet different people and experience other cultures, serving her country is the greatest benefit Owens has received from her work with Team USA. “Ultimately, when you win that gold medal and hear your national anthem, there’s no greater feeling,” she said. Owens has experienced that feeling twice more since, leading Team USA to a perfect 5-0 record in 2008 FIBA Americas U18 Championship for Women, and capturing the gold at the 2009 FIBA U19 World Championship in Thailand.

One of Chicago’s great players, she has tremendous contacts and has helped us bridge the gap between NIU and Chicago. Her experience playing in the WNBA is great in helping develop our guards.”

Additionally, he supervises the Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund staff, serves as sport administrator for men’s and women’s golf, and is the senior gift officer and athletic liaison with the NIU Foundation. During his first two years at NIU, the $14-million Yordon Academic and Athletic Performance Center was completed, thanks in part to the largest private gift to athletics in the institution’s history. The Huskie Athletic Scholarship Fund surpassed the one million dollar mark for the first time in school history during the summer of 2007, and the HASF annual budget was streamlined to provide the department’s sport programs with additional operating dollars, resulting in the first sport program budget increases since 1992. Another result of increased HASF dollars was the fall 2007 opening of the Huskie Indoor Training (H.I.T.) Center for men’s and women’s golf, baseball, and softball. A comprehensive HASF marketing plan, a revival of the NIU Varsity Club (former student-athletes), and an emphasis on current and increased athletic endowments are also important initiatives being implemented by the athletic development staff. Prior to joining NIU, McMurray served for five years at Texas State University, where he was associate athletics director. During his time at Texas State, McMurray handled athletic major gift fundraising, was executive director of the Bobcat Athletic Foundation, and had oversight of marketing, media relations, and performance groups. He was also responsible for the administration of the Bobcat baseball and softball programs. While at Texas State, McMurray helped generate agreements that resulted in major capital gifts during the Bobcat Legacy Campaign. Additionally, Bobcat Athletic Foundation revenue doubled over a three-year period and new members grew by over 60 percent. McMurray came to Texas State in fall of 2000 from Lamar University where he was assistant athletics director for external affairs. In that role, he handled all fund-raising, marketing and promotions, sponsorships and community affairs. At Lamar, annual giving tripled over a two-year window, membership grew by over 150 percent and corporate sponsorship dollars more than doubled. Additionally, men’s basketball had the sixth largest one-season attendance increase for all NCAA Division I institutions in 1998. McMurray began his career in the Lamar media relations office and served four years in a full-time capacity following graduation.

COACHES HUSKIES REVIEW

IN THE

COMMUNITY • Through the CHAMPS/Life Skills program, Northern Illinois develops leaders and role models while preparing them for life after graduation. • Members of the Huskie women’s basketball team went to DeKalb’s Tyler Elementary School to take part in its beginning of the year bash. They did arts and crafts with the chidren, played with them on the jungle gym and even taught them a few dance moves. • NIU’s women’s basketball program has been very active in the DeKalb-Sycamore community over the years. Their activities have included working with shelters, hospitals and schools. • The women’s basketball team is also involved in community service events coordinated by NIU’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) which sponsors several activities throughout the year. • The Huskies regularly participate in NIU Cares Day, and Pink Zone, the national women’s basketball breast cancer awareness initiative.

Tough Shooting Night Sinks Huskies at DePaul chicago – Despite three players scoring in double figures, the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team dropped an 83-70 decision to DePaul, Thursday at McGrath Arena. Poor shooting plagued both teams in the early going, as they combined to hit just 14-of-40 attempts (35 percent) in the opening 10 minutes. The drought left the Huskies (3-7) down 20-19, just a point behind their Big East foe. But the Blue Demons (10-2) heated up, hitting seven of their next 10 shots to built a 39-23 lead with 5:34 left in the first half. Becky Smith answered the call by hitting the Huskies’ first three-pointer of the game, sparking a 10-4 Huskie run that brought NIU with 10, 43-33 at halftime. The Huskie defense started the second half in top form, forcing five DePaul turnovers in the first four minutes of the period. But NIU’s rough shooting night continued, as the Huskies went 2-of-7 from the field over the same timeframe. Northern Illinois’ top-two sharpshooters, Kylie York and Jessie Wilcox (Oshkosh, Wis./West), combined to go 4-for-17 from behind the arc, with all four makes coming in the second half. As a team, the Huskies shot 37.5 percent (27-for72) from the field, and just 25 percent (5-for-20) on threes. Despite the difficult night from the three-point line, Wilcox led the Huskies with 12 points, and York chipped in 10. Forward Becky Smith also hit double-figures, pouring in 11 on 4-of-7 shooting.

Huskies Drop a 76-68 Decision to Chicago State

Huskies Stifle Chippewas to Win MAC Opener

DEKALB, Ill. – The Northern Illinois women’s basketball team dropped their final non-conference game of the season, falling to Chicago State, 76-68, Saturday at the Convocation Center.

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – The Northern Illinois women’s basketball team held the top-scoring offense in the Mid-American Conference to its fewest point total of the year, giving the Huskies to a 75-70 win over Central Michigan, Wednesday at Rose Arena.

Chicago State (8-7) shot 66.7 percent from the field in the second half and 52.1 percent for the game, and had three players finish in double figures with Alyssa Waldon leading all scorers with 24 points. Northern Illinois (5-8) shot 42.4 percent from the floor and had four players end the game in double figures with Ebony Ellis leading the Huskies with a career-high 18 points. It wasn’t enough to overcome the Cougars hot shooting in the second half. The Huskies played well in the first half. After falling behind, 26-19 with 5:11 left to play in the half, NIU went on an 11-2 run to take a 30-28 lead with 39 seconds to intermission and went into halftime with a 31-30 lead. NIU opened the second half strong, building a 37-32 lead with 18 minutes left in the game. The Cougars responded when Chicago State’s Courtney Waldon hit a three with 14:44 left to play to tie the game at 39. CSU then went on a 9-1 run to take a 48-40 lead with 12:01 left to play. Chicago State pushed its lead to 13, 60-47, with 7:26 left in the game. Courtney Waldon finished with 14 points, while Jasmin Dixon was the other Cougar to score in double figures with 19 points Aileen Rossouw finished with a season-best 13, Kylie York added 11 and Shari’ Welton finished with 10 for the Huskies.

Game 14 Northern Illinois 75 Central Michigan 70

Up two points with 1:44 remaining, senior guard Jessie Wilcox sunk a three-pointer, and Ebony Ellis followed with a breakaway lay-up to give the Huskies a 72-65 lead, sealing the win. The win was the first in a MAC opener for fourth year head coach Carol Owens. Northern Illinois improved to 6-8 on the season. Central Michigan, which held the sixth-ranked scoring offense in the nation entering the contest, dropped to 8-6 (0-1 MAC). The duo of Wilcox and Kylie York was especially effective. The two combined for 29 points, nine rebounds and eight assists. Owens also complimented Ellis who poured in 17 points to go with eight boards and three blocks. Northern Illinois played some of its best defense of the year en route to its third win in four games. The Huskies held CMU to just 28 percent (9-of-32) shooting in the second half, and 35 percent (21-of60) for the game. Though a dominant second-half defense drove the Huskie win, Northern Illinois’ offense also set the bar high for conference play. Four players scored in double figures, while the Huskies hit 50 percent (8of-16) of their shots from behind the arc, and 47.5 percent (29-of-61) overall from the field.

Huskies Fall Short at Toledo TOLEDO, Ohio – Sophomore forward Ebony Ellis scored 14 points to pace a group of four Northern Illinois players that scored in double-figures, but the Huskies were unable to complete the road sweep to open conference play, falling 77-67 at Toledo Saturday. After a 75-70 win over Central Michigan, Northern Illinois was trying to go 2-0 in conference play for the first time since 2005. With the Huskies trailing 66-54, Kylie York hit a threepointer and Bianca Brown followed with a lay-up to cut Toledo’s lead to seven with 3:30 remaining. But the Rockets answered with an 8-0 run keyed by 6-for-6 free throw shooting to close out the game. Northern Illinois fell to 6-9, 1-1 in Mid-American Conference play, while the Rockets improved to 8-7, with a 2-0 conference mark. Northern Illinois led by as much as nine in the first half thanks to nine points from Marke Freeman, and eight from both Ellis and York. The Huskies led for nearly 18 minutes during the first half, but entered the locker room up just one, 36-35. The teams opened the second half on even ground until Naama Shafir scored eight points to ignite a 13-5 run that pushed Toledo ahead, 56-47. The run came with Shari’ Welton, one of the Huskies’ key defenders, on the bench with four fouls. Elllis scored her 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting, and added a game-high 16 rebounds. York and Freeman each finished with 11, as did Mauvolyene Adams, who went scoreless in the first half. Jessie Wilcox tallied a game-high seven assists to go with seven points, one block and one steal.

Huskies Score Overtime Victory over WMU DEKALB, Ill. – Senior Jessie Wilcox scored seven of her team-high 15 points in overtime to spark the Northern Illinois women’s basketball team to a 71-65 victory over Western Michigan Wednesday night at the Convocation Center. After playing to a 55-55 in regulation, Wilcox jump started the Huskie (7-9, 2-1) offense in the extra frame with a three-pointer from the corner off a Marke Freeman dish, giving NIU the lead and the momentum. It was all Huskies from then on. Freeman extended NIU’s lead to five, 60-55, when she hit a jumper for her last field goal of the game. Freeman did the rest of her damage at the free throw line, going 6-for-6 from the charity stripe to finish with 10 points on the game. Wilcox and Freeman combined to score 15 of the Huskies’ 16 points in overtime. Northern Illinois out-shot the Broncos, 45.1 percent to 32.3 percent and had three players finish in double figures with Kylie York scoring 12 points to join Wilcox and Freeman among the Huskie scoring leaders. Western Michigan’s Tiera DeLaHoussaye led all scorers with a career-high 28 points, scoring six of those in overtime, while WMU’s Miame Giden also finished in double figures with 12 points.

Huskies Down Ball State, 76-72 DEKALB, Ill. – Northern Illinois wrapped up its three-game homestand by defeating Ball State, 7672, Wednesday night in the Convocation Center, snapping a 10-game losing streak to the Cardinals and grabbing a share of first place in the MAC West. The win was also NIU’s third straight at home. The Huskies (9-9, 4-1) entered the second half, trailing 36-35. The teams exchanged baskets in the opening minutes of the second period until NIU took a 42-38 lead. Ball State (11-7, 4-1) countered with a 5-0 run to go ahead 43-42 with 14:48 left to play. It would be their last lead of the game.

Down 54-50 with 2:32 left to play, the Huskies (8-9, 3-1) scored on back-to-back buckets by Shari’ Welton and Aileen Rossouw to tie the game at 54 with 31 seconds left to play in regulation. Two defensive stands in the closing seconds of the game by Northern Illinois forced the game into an extra period.

Northern Illinois erupted with an 11-2 run sparked by Aileen Rossouw’s layup and a Jessie Wilcox threepointer and a jumper to open the NIU advantage to six. Rossouw closed out the scoring with a steal and with a coast-to-coast layup.

Kylie York started the overtime with a three pointer in the corner. However, Eastern Michigan’s (4-12, 0-4) Tavelyn James responded with a three of her own to tie the game at 57. EMU’s Cassie Schrock gave the Eagles a 59-57 lead with 3:32 left to play. It would prove to be their last lead of the game.

Ball State came back, however. A three-pointer by BSU’s Danielle Gratton pulled the Cardinals to within five with 8:51 left to play. But a bucket by Marke Freeman, a three pointer from Kylie York and another trey from Wilcox pushed the NIU lead to 6352 with 4:51 left. Ebony Ellis hit two free throws to give NIU a 13-point lead, its largest of the game.

Northern Illinois responded to the EMU threat by going on a 10-0 run. The Huskies’ Jessie Wilcox started the offensive outburst when she tied the game at 59 and a jumper from Sarah Rogers gave NIU a 61-59 lead with 2:46 left to play. The rest of NIU’s scoring in overtime came at the free throw line.

Wilcox led the way for the Huskies with a team- and season-high 20 points, while Freeman followed with 12 points and a career-high seven assists. Mauvolyene Adams finished in double figures for the fifth time this season with 10 points.

Rossouw hit a pair of free throws to extend the Huskies’ advantage to 63-59 with 1:51on the clock. Wilcox scored NIU’s final six points, making six straight free throws and sealing the victory for the Huskies.

A layup by Ebony Ellis and a three-pointer by Kylie York settled things for the Huskies and gave NIU a 56-49 lead. With an eight-point lead with 2:19 left, it appeared NIU would pull away from the Bobcats (7-11, 3-3). However, a three-pointer from Ohio’s Jenny Poff cut the Huskie lead to 61-56 with just over two minutes left to play. Back to-back three-pointers from Jessie Wilcox gave NIU a 67-57 lead and ended any Bobcat hopes for victory. Wilcox and Ellis led the way for the Huskies, each scoring a game-high 19 points.

Huskies Lose OT Heartbreaker DEKALB, Ill. - The Northern Illinois women’s basketball dropped a heartbreaker, falling to Bowling Green, 76-70, in overtime Saturday afternoon in the Convocation Center. Both teams entered play in first place in their respective divisions, with the Huskies (10-10, 5-2) owning a share of the lead in the MAC West, while Bowling Green (18-2, 7-0) was atop the MAC East and riding a 17-game winning streak. Trailing 62-60 with 38 seconds left in regulation, Bowling Green’s Tracy Pontius hit a three pointer to give the Falcons a one-point lead with 20 seconds remaining. Bowling Green had a chance to add to its lead when Niki McCoy was fouled after forcing an NIU turnover. However, McCoy missed her free throw and Mauvolyene Adams was fouled in the scramble for the rebound, sending her to the free throw line for a one-and-one. Adams hit the first free throw to tie the contest at 63 with 10 seconds left to play. Her second attempt failed to fall, giving the Falcons enough time to move the ball up court for one last shot. Pontius’ layup missed, and the game went into overtime. The Falcons opened overtime with a 7-2 run, jumping out to a 70-65 lead with 2:39 left to play. A jumper by Jessie Wilcox with 1:17 left pulled NIU to within three, but that would be as close as the Huskies would get as Bowling Green held on for the victory. Wilcox finished with a team-high 19 points, leading four Huskies who finished in double figures. Adams turned in her best game of the season, scoring a season-high 15 points, going 7-for-13 from the field.

Huskies Fall to Eastern Michigan, 53-49 YPSILANTI, Mich. - Turnovers and poor free throw shooting cost the Northern Illinois women’s basketball as they suffered a 53-49 setback at Eastern Michigan Saturday afternoon at EMU’s Convocation Center. The Huskies (13-12, 8-4) shot 53.8 (7-of-13) percent from the free throw line while the Eagles (7-17, 3-9) went 12-of-17 (70.6 percent) from the line. NIU committed 21 turnovers, and the Eagles capitalized, scoring 22 points off of Huskie miscues. Down 32-20 at the break, NIU opened the second half with an 11-2 run to close to within three. After a pair of Amber Land free throws pushed the EMU lead back to five, Aileen Rossouw made a layup. Marke Freeman stole an EMU pass and dished it to Becky Smith, who made another layup and was fouled on the play. Smith completed the three-point play to tie the game at 36 with 12:13 left in the game. On the ensuing NIU possession, Smith collected an offensive rebound off a missed Kylie York three pointer and made the put back to give the Huskies a 38-36 lead. However, the Huskies were unable to pull away. The two teams traded leads three more times before the Eagles’ Cassie Schrock gave EMU the lead for good with a layup, giving Eastern Michigan a 49-47 lead with 3:49 left to play. One of the bright spots for NIU was its bench play. Northern Illinois’ bench out-scored Eastern Michigan’s reserves 29-18. Rossouw came off the bench to post her first career double double with a team-high 13 points and game-high 10 rebounds.

Huskies Fall to Buffalo in MAC Tourney CLEVELAND - The Northern Illinois University women’s basketball team’s run in the 2009 Kraft MAC Tournament came to an abrupt end when the Huskies fell to Buffalo, 57-52, in the first round game Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena. The Huskies struggled offensively, shooting 28.8 percent (19-of-66) from the field and just 8-of-36 in the second half. With the score tied 42-42 with 11:46 left to play, Ebony Ellis hit a bucket in the lane to give NIU (15-15, 10-6) a two-point lead. It would be the last field goal the Huskies would hit for 11 minutes. Despite its poor shooting from the field, NIU was able to build a five-point lead with its free throw shooting. Ellis, Marke Freeman and Kylie York collectively went five of six from the line to give the Huskies a 49-44 lead with seven minutes left to play. Down 50-48 with 3:34 on the clock, Buffalo’s (7-23, 2-14) Kourtney Brown tied the game with a layup, and a bucket by Jessica Fortman gave the Bulls their first lead of the game, 52-50, with 2:49 left to play. The Huskies had a chance to tie on the next possession, but Freeman’s runner was blocked. The Huskies still had a chance with under a minute to play when Buffalo’s Dayna Smith missed a jumper. However, the Bulls’ Jamie Schiebner grabbed the offensive rebound and scored her only points of the game on a put back to give UB a four-point lead with 43 seconds left to play. Three Huskies finished in double figures with Freeman leading the way with 13 points, while Jessie Wilcox finished with 12, all in the first half. The senior guard scored her 1,000th-career point on her third field goal of the game, finishing her Huskie career with 1,007 points.

THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 63-year history of the league this past March. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving for six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (Toledo’s SeaGate Centre), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and most recently baseball (Chillicothe’s VA Memorial Stadium). The MAC tied a league record in 2008 with five schools participating in bowl games – Buffalo (International); Ball State (GMAC); Central Michigan (Motor City); Western Michigan (Texas); and Northern Illinois (Independence). The 2008 season also saw the first MAC football team ranked in the Top 25 since 2003. Ball State was ranked as high as 12th in the BCS Standings, 12th in the AP and 13th in the USA Today Poll. The Cardinals were ranked in all three polls for 10 straight weeks. MAC football teams won a league record four games versus opponents from the Big Ten. Toledo became the first MAC team to ever beat Michigan in Ann Arbor; Ball State won its first-ever game against a Big Ten foe when the Cardinals beat Indiana; Central Michigan also defeated Indiana; and Western Michigan beat Illinois in a game played at Ford Field. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC signed an eight-year rights agreement through the 2016-2017 academic year for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal will be the most extensive in the 63-year history of the conference. The new deal calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. Women’s athletics shined for the MAC this past year. For the first time in the history of the conference, the MAC sent three teams to the NCAA women’s volleyball tournament (Miami, Ohio and Western Michigan). Western Michigan became only the third team to make it to the Sweet Sixteen (Ohio 2005 and Western Michigan 1983). In women’s basketball MAC Tournament champion Ball State upset perennial national power Tennessee in the first round of the NCAA tournament handing the Lady Vols their first loss ever in the opening round of the NCAA tournament. The victory was named “Pontiac Game Changing Performance” of the 2009 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament, while first year head coach Kelly Packard was named Maggie Dixon Division I Rookie Coach of the Year by the WBCA.

Dr. Jon a. steinbrecher Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher is in his first year with the Mid-American Conference after being named the league’s eighth commissioner on March 16, 2009. Dr. Steinbrecher comes to the MAC after serving six years as commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference. Prior to the OVC, he served as commissioner of the Mid-Continent Conference (now known as the Summit League). In his first six years with the OVC, Dr. Steinbrecher significantly increased the league’s exposure through additional television coverage at the regional and national level. In 2005, he negotiated a five-year contract with ESPN that secured increased exposure for the league. That included being the first conference to sign a deal to have games appear on ESPNU, ESPN’s 24-hour college sports network; the OVC had the first sporting event telecast on that network (the 2005 OVC Men’s Basketball Tournament Semifinal). Steinbrecher secured an invitation for the OVC to participate in ESPN’s BracketBusters event, something every team has done in each of the past three years. He also implemented conference merchandising and corporate partner programs and in February 2008 negotiated a five-year agreement with IMG College to manage the OVC’s multimedia rights and sponsorship sales. In July 2006 Steinbrecher helped spearhead a venture into streaming video with the launch of OVCSports.TV. The multimedia platform, in association with JumpTV Sports, provides live and on-demand coverage of every OVC football and men’s and women’s basketball game as well as selected other sports, coaches’ shows, press conferences and special events. Dr. Steinbrecher and his wife Anne have three children, daughter Grace and twin sons Matt and Will.

The Mid-American Conference is spread across six states, spanning two time zones.

With nearly a half-century of tradition from which to draw, women’s basketball has made a lasting impression in the history of Northern Illinois University athletics. A large part of that hardwood heritage has a permanent place in Huskie lore with an even dozen representatives in the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame. Tammy Hinchee The most recent inductee, Hinchee is No. 1 on NIU’s all-time leading rebounds list with 1,099, second all-time for career blocked shots with 200, third in career scoring (1,921) and career field goals (783) and is sixth on the all-time list for career free throws made with 351. During the Huskies 1989-90 season, she averaged 19.7 points and 10.4 recounds a game. She was named team co-MVP, First Team All-NSC, First Team USBWA All-District Four and preseason Honorable Mention Women’s Basketball News All-America her senior year. She had 99 double-digit scoring performances in 116 games during her four-year career. She was a member of the Huskies first team to reach the NCAA Tournament. E.C. Hill The All-America guard became the latest member of the Hall of Fame sorority in October 2004. The Whitney High School standout earned All-America accolades from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association as a senior in 1993-94, leading Northern Illinois to the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive season. NIU’s 24-6 overall ledger included an unblemished (18-0) mark in the Mid-Continent Conference and a 24-1 mark after an 0-3 start. Hill’s 22.0 ppg. scoring pace that season featured the game-winner as the Huskies upset then-fourthranked Iowa on Jan. 25, 1994. She hit double figures in all but one of the team’s 30 games that season, part of a résumé which includes 85 such performances in her career. Hill surpassed the 25-point mark 25 times and collected 30 or more in three separate contests. The Chicago native sat out her freshman season due to academic restrictions, but still ranks sixth in school history with her 1,638 career points. Her 17.8 ppg. norm is fourth in school annals, but Hill also contributed in areas other than scoring. She stands third on the all-time Huskie list with 392 assists and holds the same spot on NIUs steal charts at 259—just 17 thefts behind Leslie Pottinger, who played 32 more games at Northern Illinois. Hill holds the school’s single-season mark with 100 counts of larceny in 1992-93. Jane Albright NIU’s former head coach entered the Hall of Fame in 2003. Albright directed the Huskies to four NCAA tournament appearances during a five-year span at the conclusion of her (1984-94) tenure in DeKalb. She remains the winningest coach in program history, posting a 188-110 (.631 percentage) ledger in her decade at the helm. The Appalachian State graduate took over a program which had won more than 15 games only one time in its first 27 campaigns, but brought Northern Illinois into the national spotlight in short order. In her fifth season, Albright guided her team to its first-ever 20-win campaign as Northern Illinois finished 23-7 and reached the championship game of the 1989 North Star Conference tournament. That season also featured a school-record 15game winning streak. NIU surpassed the 100-point mark six times that year. But the 1988-89 campaign proved to be only a

prelude for the Huskies, who compiled a 26-5 mark the following season and climbed to the No. 14 spot in the Associated Press national rankings. One of those victories came on Feb. 15, 1989, when an overflow crowd of 6,118 fans flooded Evans Field House to watch Northern Illinois defeat perennial nemesis DePaul University. NIU topped the Blue Demons again to capture the North Star tourney title on March 10, 1990, and joined the NCAA’s “Big Dance” for the first time. The Huskies led the nation in scoring at 94.5 points per game—still fourth-highest in NCAA history— and also with a .775 free throw percentage. NIU’s .502 field goal rate ranked fourth nationally. Albright reached the 20-win plateau again in 1990-91 when the Huskies lost just once in 17 games at mid-season, but a late-season slide resulted in an NWIT bid and a 25-10 final ledger. NIU returned to the NCAA tournament in 1992 as the capstone to an 18-14 campaign, and won back-to-back Mid-Continent Conference titles the following two seasons. Albright’s Huskies dominated the Mid-Con, going 33-1 in league play and winning the 1993 loop tournament. Even a loss in the 1994 tourney final wasn’t enough to keep the Huskies out of the “Big Dance” for a third year in a row. Following a loss to Southwest Missouri State University in the first round of the 1994 NCAA tournament, Albright took the reins at the University of Wisconsin where she coached the Badgers to five more NCAA tournaments and a pair of Women’s NIT appearances in nine seasons. Lisa Foss The sharp-shooting guard entered the Hall of Fame in 1997 after setting a Huskie standard with 2,500 points in her (1987-91) career while playing for fellow Hall of Famer Jane Albright. Foss burned out scoreboards across the nation, posting a total which still ranks among the top 25 in NCAA Division I history. She scored 20 or more points an amazing 69 times, including 13 games with 30 or more tallies and 17 more between 25 and 29 points. As a senior, “Light ‘em Up Lisa” ranked ninth in the nation in scoring with an average of 24.4 points per game in 1990-91. She posted 20 or more points in 10 consecutive games at one stretch and 26 times during the season. That productivity helped her reach double digits in scoring 117 times in 122 career games, including each of her last 51 outings in the Cardinal and Black. Foss still owns an incredible 17 school records, including the Huskie standards for career points and scoring average (20.5 points per game). Her 41 points versus 14th-ranked Washington led NIU to the championship of the Fastbreak Fest tournament and also matched the school single-game scoring record. Carol Owens The 1995 inductee anchored the middle as a two-time Kodak District IV All-America selection for Hall of Fame coach Jane Albright. Owens, a product of Chicago’s Notre Dame High School, posted 2,102 career points (second behind Foss on the all-time list) plus 1,028 rebounds, 256 steals and a school-record 244 blocked shots in her Huskie career (1985-90). She also registered one of two “triple-doubles” in school history en route to USBWA District IV All-America honors and the second of her two straight appearances on the Kodak District IV All-America unit. She had 23 points, 10 rebounds and 11 steals versus Western Illinois on Dec. 1, 1988.

NIU Hall of fame inductees Owens paced Northern Illinois to its initial NCAA berth, leading the way with 21.7 points per game to earn North Star Conference Player of the Year accolades. Owens established NIU’s single-game scoring mark with 41 points versus the University of Illinois on December 16, 1989, one of eight times she poured in 30 or more in a single contest. “C.O.” shot 52 percent or better from the field in each of her four full seasons and still boasts the best career touch (.537) in school history. But scoring was only one part of the Chicago native’s all-around game. Owens used her 6-3 frame to swat away 244 shots, putting her atop the school’s all-time list in career blocks. That total includes seven twice along with four other contests with six rejections each. The blue-collar worker was also a force on the boards for the Huskies, ranking second in NIU annals with 1,028 rebounds to make her one of only four players to hit four figures in both points and caroms. She recorded the Huskies’ first-ever ‘“triple-double” against Western Illinois University on December 1, 1988, while her 40 career “double-doubles” are second in school history, behind the 50 by teammate Tammy Hinchee. Diane Hillard A three-sport letterwinner (four years in basketball plus two years each in track and volleyball) at Northern Illinois, Hillard earned National Dean’s List honors for her 3.97 cumulative grade point average. She was a part of the 198182 unit which won the school’s first Illinois AIAW state title in 1981-82. Hillard also set the NIU track standard in the 800 meters in 1979. Her versatility was rewarded with a Hall of Fame plaque in 1993. Lisa Starosta Lisa Starosta was the first Huskie to tally 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in her four-season career (1980-81, 1982-85). Her 1,810 points still rank fourth on the all-time NIU list, while she remains fourth in rebounds (1,003), ninth in steals (201) and eighth in blocked shots (79). Starosta and Owens are the only Huskies to rank in the top 10 in four of the five major statistical categories, a testament to Starosta’s multi-faceted game. The 1990 Hall of Fam e inductee averaged a “double-double” with rates of 16.5 points plus 10.0 rebounds per game to earn First Team All-MidAmerican Conference selection in 1984-85 and was a Second-Team All-MAC choice in 1983-84. Doreen Zierer A former teammate of Hillard, Zierer gained CoSIDA Third Team Academic All-America honors in 1981-82 after ranking 15th in the nation in scoring at 22.9 points per game. “D.Z.” became the first Huskie to hit the 1,000-point mark, reaching that plateau on February 28, 1981. That scoring prowess made her a first team All-MAC pick in both 1980-81 and 1981-82, with the latter honor joining special mention accolades from Basketball Weekly magazine in her personal résumé. Zierer’s 698 points in the 1981-82 campaign represented the school single-season mark until Foss’ exploits nine years later. Her 1979-82 tenure included 1,712 points—leaving her fifth in NIU history—plus 841 rebounds (eighth on the all-time list) and 215 steals (sixth all-time) despite playng just three years. Zierer scored in double figures 85 times in 91 games at Northern Illinois and entered the Hall of Fame in 1988. Gayle Luehr A two-sport performer for the Huskies, Luehr

NIUHUSKIES.COM

earned four letters each in basketball and field hockey. The forward averaged 10.1 points per game as a four-year letterwinner on the hardwood from 1973 through 1977. She gained second-team U.S. Field Hockey Association All-America status in 1975, adding that prestigious honor to a pair of first team All-North Central College Association accolades (1975, 1976). Luehr was also the first Northern Illinois player to score five goals in one game. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1987. Luehr’s mentor in both sports was one of the honorees when the Hall of Fame added its first women in 1986. Dr. Mary Bell Bell guided Huskie teams in six sports during her 1957-77 run in DeKalb. She posted a 109-90 (.547 percentage) mark on the basketball sideline, a victory total which still ranks second in school history. Her team reached the national AIAW Elite Eight following the 1971-72 campaign, finishing that breakthrough season with a 15-3 record. But her accomplishments on the hardwood are only one chapter in her story, which also includes service as Northern Illinois’ coach in volleyball, softball, swimming, field hockey and badminton. In June 1998, the Huskie softball field was dedicated in her honor, commemorating her service to that sport. She owns the school’s top victory percentage on the diamond with a .747 success rate in 14 seasons and also served as the director of the Women’s Recreation Association in 1957. The women’s basketball program also provided three other charter members for the Hall of Fame in 1986. Jean Pankonin Pankonin lettered in six different sports (basketball, badminton, volleyball, softball, field hockey and tennis) and was the first Huskie to score 30 points in a game when she poured in 38 versus Northwestern University on Feb. 18, 1961. Pankonin averaged 16.7 points per game while playing for Dr. Bell in her 1957-61 career, a rate which leaves her fifth in school history. Pankonin was a part of NIU’s first four varsity teams in those pioneer seasons, with her 23.5 points-per-game average in the 1960-61 campaign still representing the second-highest season-long rate in Huskie history. Patty Delp Delp compressed four years’ worth of accomplishments into just two seasons on the court for the Huskies. She pulled down 531 rebounds—an incredible average of 10.8 per game—in her 1978-80 career. She grabbed a school-record 27 caroms vs. Carroll College on January 26, 1980, erasing her own school standard of 23 caroms set against Bradley exactly one year earlier. Delp averaged 14.9 points per game as a junior, while her 10.9 rebounds-per-contest placed her third in the MAC statistical rankings. She also lettered twice on the volleyball court for NIU. Ruth Fender Fender lettered in five sports at Northern Illinois during her 1962-66 career, including basketball, field hockey, softball, badminton and tennis. She started every game in her career in softball, basketball and field hockey, averaging 9.1 rebounds on the hardwood. That total came from 308 boards in just 34 games for the Huskies, a span which included a 7-2 record in her final season (196566). She gained national prominence for her .468 career batting average on the diamond, highlighted by a .493 clip in 1966.

1989-90 ncaa tournament team Northern Illinois University reached the NCAA tournament five times in a six-season span during the early 1990s, rapidly earning a reputation as one of the nation’s best programs. By the time the 1989-90 campaign was complete, NIU had ample evidence to back up that claim. Northern Illinois began the climb into the national spotlight the previous season, posting a 23-7 ledger—the school’s first 20-win season—despite a line-up of only eight players. That lack of depth proved to be the Huskies’ Achilles heel, however, as NIU wore down and dropped four of its final eight games and was passed over by the NCAA selection committee despite a second-place finish in the North Star Conference. Head coach Jane Albright directed a highpowered offense which featured a pair of future Hall of Famers in senior center Carol Owens and junior guard Lisa Foss. Hard-working forward Tammy Hinchee provided the perfect complement for Owens in the middle with junior guard Denise Dove leading the attack from the point. Senior forward Kris Weis rounded out the starting line-up for Northern Illinois, with Toby Meeks and Tracy Mondek leading the reserves off the bench. The Huskies started quickly that season, compiling a 12-2 record out of the gates before conference play. The only blemishes to that mark came in an 87-84 overtime loss to the University of South Carolina in the championship game of the NIU/Contel Fastbreak Fest and a 90-65 loss to Stephen F. Austin State University. But against the rest of the nation, Northern Illinois more than held its own. Owens matched a school single-game record with 41 points when Northern Illinois defeated the University of Illinois 110-93 on December 16—part of an early-season run which also included victories over Northwestern University, Southern Illinois University and the University of Minnesota. Add in three more victories to begin the North Star Conference schedule

plus a triumph over local rival Western Illinois University, and Albright’s crew had a 15-3 record and had entered the Associated Press Top 25 national poll. The early run in the NSC featured a (January 15) meeting at DePaul University. NIU and the Blue Demons produced three memorable showdowns the previous year but the Blue Demons defeated Northern Illinois, 76-61, to win the 1989 NSC tournament championship, leaving Albright’s team with something to prove. NIU had never won at DU’s Alumni Hall; in fact, an 86-82 victory in Evans Field House the previous season was the only time Northern Illinois had ever beaten the Blue Demons. But in this magical winter, anything was possible. Five busloads and numerous carloads of fans made the trek to Chicago, part of a crowd of 4,294 fans crammed into the DU gym by tip-off. Hinchee scored a game-high 35 points, but it was Meeks’ 13-point performance off the bench which was the difference in an 81-75 victory. The Huskies brought a ten-game winning streak to Vanderbilt University on January 29 and nearly added the Commodores to their list of conquests but the Southeastern Conference power edged NIU, 87-83. An 83-62 setback at the University of Tennessee was the only other blemish in a 21-2 mark between December 20 and March 18. With that record of success, NIU rapidly gained a loyal fan following. For proof of the Huskies’ support, look no further than February 15 re-match versus DePaul. First place in the league was on the line on that Thursday evening as a standing-room only crowd of 6,118 fans flooded the Evans Field House turnstiles with more than 1,000 more turned away at the door. The crowd—the largest to witness a women’s collegiate basketball game in the state of Illinois at the time—watched Hinchee and Owens combine for 58 points in the Huskies’ 92-72 victory, firmly establishing Northern Illinois as the league’s top team. With that challenge behind them, the Hus-

kies raced into the final stretch of the regular season. NIU posted a school-record 122 points to defeat Valparaiso University on February 20 and put 116 points on the board in a rout of the University of Illinois-Chicago five days later. Even Carol Hammerle’s defense couldn’t slow down NIU, which defeated the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, 86-68, to close the regular season. As the top team in the seven-school conference, Northern Illinois earned a first-round bye for the North Star tournament. The extra rest and the home-court advantage of Evans Field House added to the Huskies’ position as favorite to win the title and the automatic berth to the NCAA tournament. A 102-79 victory over Valparaiso in the semifinals set up a final showdown with DePaul, and vitually secured a trip to the national summit. But there was still one item left on the agenda before that. “We were on a mission from the beginning,” Dove said. “Going into (the NSC championship) game, we knew we were going into the NCAA tournament. We wanted that North Star championship ring.” March 10, 1990, became a milestone date in Northern Illinois history, as all five starters (plus reserve Toby Meeks) scored in double figures and the Huskies gained revenge for the previous season with a 97-85 triumph. Time to put on those dancing shoes. “This is the most valuable necklace I’ve ever had around my neck,” Albright said in the post1990 NCAA Tournament - Second Round / North Star Champions game press conference, wearing the net from (Front row) Julie Gainer, Denise Lipnisky, Lisa Foss, Toby Meeks, Kris Weis, Dee Dee Jeske, Denise Dove.

1989-90 ncaa tournament team They are equal to the many nationally-ranked teams we’ve faced,” DePaul boss Doug Bruno acknowledged. NIU drew the fifth seed in the Midwest Region and the chance to host a first-round match-up versus Texas Tech University. A March 14 date would leave the students on Spring Break, but a crowd of 5,417 still assembled to view a piece of school and national history. Owens and Hinchee tallied a total of 40 points with Foss and Dove combining for 30 from the outside in an 84-63 rout as the Huskies showed they belonged among the nation’s best teams. The second round put Northern Illinois against Purdue University in what proved to be a bitter showdown. For 40 minutes, neither team built more than a six-point lead as the game featured 19 ties and 26 lead changes in front of 3,517 fans at Mackey Arena. The Boilermakers needed 76 percent shooting from the floor to pull out an 86-81 triumph and advance, ending the careers of Owens, Hinchee and Weis. But those three players capped their playing days with one of the most memorable seasons imaginable. The Huskies reached the century mark eight times, averaging a Division I-best 94.5 points per game. Northern Illinois scored 90 or more points a staggering 21 times and were held under 80 just twice—the losses to SFASU and Tennessee. NIU’s rate remains the fourth-highest in NCAA Division I history and was enhanced by a nation-leading 77.5 percent touch at the free throw line and 50.2 percent accuracy from the floor (fourth in the country). Even 100 points wasn’t enough for the Huskies, who poured in 110 or more points six times. The 122-point performance versus Valparaiso highlighted the Huskies’ high-octane engine which produced six of the top 11 point totals in Northern Illinois annals. The team’s legacy remains evident in more than just the NCAA tournament banner hanging

Lisa Foss averaged nearly 20 points per game from the perimeter while Tammy Hinchee and Carol Owens dominated the paint on the way to NIU’s first NCAA tournament appearance.

The Chicago native graduated as the Huskies’ alltime leading scorer with 2,102 career points (a title she held for just one season before Foss finished the following spring at 2,500) while Hinchee pulled down the last of her schoolrecord 1,099 rebounds in a Northern Illinois uniform. Owens averaged a league-best 21.7 points per game and led the NSC at 2.0 blocked shots per contest. Front-line mate Hinchee topped the North Star charts at 10.4 rebounds per outing to go with 19.7 points per contest, just ahead of Foss’ 19.5 ppg. rate. Weis contributed 11.3 points per game with a league-leading 87.2 percent free throw touch while Dove finished the season 9.0 points per game and handed out 164 assists—just five set-ups short of her own single-season mark established the previous year. Northern Illinois finished with a 26-5 record— the best in school history—with all five of those losses coming to NCAA tournament teams. Tennessee finished fourth in the final AP poll, followed by Stephen F. Austin St. (sixth), Purdue (15th), South Carolina (19th) and Vanderbilt (31st). Little wonder that Albright walked away with NSC Coach of the Year recognition, having laid the foundation for an annual trek to the national summit. The ‘89-90 squad was inducted to the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005.

2009-2010 HUSKIE BASKETBALL

NENTS HERITAGE RECORDS

1991-92 ncaa tournament team While the 1989-90 Northern Illinois University women’s basketball team will always be known as the first team to reach the NCAA tournament, the 1991-92 edition might be recognized as the most resilient of the Huskie squads during that run. For a definition of the word “determination,” look no further than this team, which overcame a series of challenges to re-establish NIU in the national spotlight. NIU first had to rebound from a disappointing 1990-91 season when even a 24-8 record wasn’t enough to entice a bid to the NCAA tournament. Three losses in the final four games (including a second-round loss in the North Star Conference tournament) relegated Northern Illinois into the National Invitational Tournament, where two more setbacks followed before the Huskies salvaged the trip with a victory in the seventh-place game to settle for a 25-10 ledger. Including the landmark 1989-90 campaign, NIU had tallied 51 victories in the past two seasons. But the Huskies also had to compensate for the graduated backcourt tandem of Lisa Foss and Denise Dove. Foss completed her career as the Huskies’ all-time leading scorer after averaging 24.4 points per game in 1990-91 while Dove’s 526 career assists put her atop the NIU charts in that category. E.C. Hill quickly stepped into Foss’ role, expected to lead Northern Illinois back into the NCAA tournament. Hill had earned a spot on several prep AllAmerica teams—including the Parade honor roll—after a stellar career at Chicago’s Whitney Young High School but sat out the 1990-91 campaign as a Proposition 48 casualty. Her return to the floor would be the key for Northern Illinois, which had just two starters returning from the previous year’s 25-win team. The young Huskies would get tested quickly, facing a schedule that included national powers Stephen F. Austin St. , Purdue University, Utah and DePaul even before starting the conference schedule. Then there were games versus the

University of Tennessee, Florida State and Northwestern looming down the road. Hill needed just one game to shake off the rust of her lost season, scoring a season-high 30 points in her second contest in a Huskie uniform. Unfortunately, that feat became a footnote in a 101-91, double-overtime loss to the Washington—one which featured 108 free throw attempts. Seven Huskies fouled out of that game as No. 21-ranked UW went to the line an NCAA-record 69 times. Northern Illinois rallied the following day to defeat Ohio to claim third place at the Iowa’s Amana/Hawkeye Classic and edged Miami, 83-75, to open the NIU Fastbreak Fest, creating a date with the Purdue squad which ended the Huskies’ first NCAA tournament run two years earlier. Purdue again proved its superiority, however, as the 17th-ranked Boilermakers posted an 83-68 victory. So when Stephen F. Austin St. brought the nation’s No. 6 ranking into Evans Field House, the Huskies’ chances appeared bleak—especially considering Northern Illinois faced its third nationally-ranked opponent in a 16-day span. Somebody apparently forgot to tell Dianna Wingis, who posted 16 points, 10 rebounds and four blocked shots, sparking a surprise 73-55 rout of the Ladyjacks. It proved to be one of only three losses for SFA that season. Any thoughts of optimism were quickly dispelled, however, as consecutive losses to Manhattan College, DePaul and Utah dropped Northern Illinois to 4-5 as the NSC schedule opened on January 11. The league environment cured the Huskies’ woes as a five-game winning streak suddenly propelled NIU to 9-5. The Huskies’ perseverance was evident on January 15 when the “Comeback Kids” rallied from a 13-point deficit in the final 14:08 to defeat instate rival Southern Illinois University, 87-84. The roller-coaster ride hit another dip with four losses in the next six games, including a

Angela Lockett powered the Huskies to the North Star Conference tournament championship, earning MVP honors with 62 points and 32 rebounds in three games.

78-61 loss at the Tennessee and a deflating 75-72 setack at the Akron. That came just two days after a 117-115 overtime victory at Cleveland State in the highest-scoring game in program history on February 6. Cindy Conner and Dee Dee Jeske led NIU with 25 points apiece against CSU, and Tracy Mondek poured in a career-best 23. Two Mondek free throws with 14 seconds left in regulation forced the extra session. By the time the regular season drew to a close, Northern Illinois limped into the NSC tourney with three consecutive losses (backto-back 20-point setbacks to Florida State and Northwestern before a 75-66 home-court setback to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay) and a less-than-stellar 14-13 ledger. All that changed, however, in a March 5 meeting with the University of Illinois-Chicago in the NSC quarterfinals at Evans Field House. “No matter what we’ve done prior to the tournament, this is the start of a whole new season and anything can happen,” NIU head coach Jane Albright-Dieterle predicted before the tournament started. “We’ve just got to believe in ourselves. I can only tell the players they have the talent and the abilities. Now, it’s their turn to start believing and make something happen.” Northern Illinois dominated the Flames, 87-45, to advance to the semifinals versus Valparaiso —a team which had defeated NIU, 101-91, just two weeks earlier. But the Crusaders were no match for Hill and Conner, who collected 42 points while Angela Lockett posted 16 points and 16 rebounds in an 87-72 triumph. Suddenly, Carol Hammerle

1991-92 ncaa tournament team and Green Bay was all that stood between NIU and a return to the “Big Dance.” UWGB won the two regular-season meetings, limiting Northern Illinois to 35 percent shooting from the field. Hill scored a season-low five points in the first meeting—a 62-57 WisconsinGreen Bay victory. The Huskie standout refused to let that happen again, demonstrating the form which made her the NSC Newcomer of the Year. Hill tallied 22 points but it was tournament MVP Lockett who stole the show with 24 points and 11 rebounds as Northern Illinois pulled off the 84-66 victory. “It was tough to believe,” senior Dee Dee Jeske said of the championship. “But we had the fans and the home court, and that was a big plus. We started to believe. That was the key word.” “Northern Illinois truly outhustled us,” Hammerle explained after the game. “They were a very hungry team.” NIU awaited its travel destination for the first round, but a paperwork error forced Louisiana Tech to come to DeKalb to open the national summit. Northern Illinois—the 11th seed in the Mideast Region—took advantage of that homecourt atmosphere for a 77-71 overtime triumph behind Lockett’s 22 points and nine rebounds plus 20 points from Wingis. The Huskies were hardly intimidated by LTU’s history (which already included three national championships), and claimed a doubledigit lead at 26-15 late in the first half. At intermission, Northern Illinois still held a 34-25 advantage, thanks to Hill’s 13 points. Louisiana Tech chipped away at the margin, closing within three points on three occasions before eventually leveling the books at 50-all with seven minutes to play in regulation. But Albright’s team kept its poise and appeared to have the game wrapped up, leading 63-58 with just 22 seconds remaining. Three Amy Brown free throws trimmed the deficit to two points, and Pam Thomas stole a pass for a breakaway lay-up, postponing the Huskies’ celebration. Suddenly, the “Comeback Kids” had one more obstacle in their path. The home-court atmosphere proved important, with fans rallying around their Huskies. Five different players scored in the extra session, pushing NIU into the second round. Northern Illinois had to overcome 30 turnovers, but 52 percent shooting from the field was enough as NIU limited the Lady Techsters to three-of-14 accuracy in the extra session. So in another bit of irony, the Huskies gained a re-match against Purdue in Mackey Arena. Northern Illinois ran out of steam as Purdue rolled to a 98-62 victory, but even that setback could not temper the Huskies’ emotions for their accomplishments. Conner garnered First-Team All-NSC recognition after averaging 18.4 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocked shots per game. Hill added 14.5 points and 3.5 assists per outing with Lockett anchoring the middle with 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds per contest. Jeske added 9.4 points a night as Hill’s running mate in the back court while Wingis pulled down 6.5 rebounds per game to augment a 7.7 ppg. scoring pace.

NENTS HERITAGE RECORDS

1992-93 ncaa tournament team As the saying goes, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” For the Northern Illinois University women’s basketball team, the 1992-93 season was expected to be a capstone to the careers of five seniors and the launching pad for the “next generation” of Huskies in the NCAA tournament. First, the new. The North Star Conference disbanded after the 1991-92 campaign, being absorbed into the Mid-Continent Conference. So Jane Albright’s crew had a new league to conquer, with 10 returning letterwinners poised to continue the Huskies’ run of postseason play. That challenge would fall into the hands of junior guard E.C. Hill and senior forward Cindy Conner, former teammates at Chicago’s Whitney Young High School who would play a key role in NIU’s hopes of a fourth 20-win campaign in a five-year span. Both earned preseason Honorable Mention All-America acclaim from Street & Smith’s, establishing Northern Illinois as the team to beat in the Mid-Con. But all those accolades would mean nothing without a trip to the NCAA’s “Big Dance.” The road back to the NCAA tournament became a little rockier when Angela Lockett went down with a knee injury in preseason workouts. The 5-10 Lockett was expected to anchor the post after averaging 13.1 points and 8.3 rebounds as a sophomore and earning North Star tournament MVP honors, but her injury left a gap to be filled. The Huskies quickly marked their territory, edging instate rival Southern Illinois, 84-80, and dominating Fresno State, 93-74, in the home opener. But a west coast swing produced a pair of losses at the Southern California (91-64) and the Arizona (80-75), leaving NIU searching for answers in a four-game homestand. The Evans Field House atmosphere proved to be the perfect tonic for the Huskies’ woes as NIU rolled up 296 points in the first three outings, including 109 versus Manhattan

College and 102 more in their Mid-Con debut, a 17-point victory over Valparaiso. Conner posted a season-high 26 against VU’s Crusaders to set up an early-season conference showdown versus the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay on January 14. After nine ties and eight lead changes in the first 24 minutes, Hill took over with six points in a 15-3 run as Northern Illinois assumed command with an 85-76 victory and an 85-58 romp at Eastern Illinois two days later. No. 21-ranked DePaul took the next step to knock NIU off its perch at Evans Field House. DePaul moved into the Great Midwest Conference rather than joining the rest of the Mid-Con, but the meeting between long-time local rivals still carried significance, both in terms of local media and national rankings. So there was plenty of attention focused on DeKalb on January 19. Hill made just one of eight shots and had two points at halftime as DePaul took a 43-32 lead to the locker room. The deficit remained at seven with 11:07 remaining, but a skirmish at the top of the key awakened the 3,006 fans in attendance. Hill tangled with a DePaul defender, then took out her frustration on the rest of the Blue Demons by scoring or assisting on 11 consecutive NIU points. Her three-point play gave the Huskies a 53-51 lead on the way to a 73-69 victory. Hill finished the night with 19 points, six assists and three steals in the Huskies’ sixth consecutive triumph. The streak reached eight straight before the wheels came off at Iowa City, Iowa on January 26. A 92-59 setback at the University of Iowa represented the team’s first loss in more than a month, but the Huskies rebounded with three more victories in a return to Mid-Con play before venturing to UWGB’s Phoenix Sports Center on February 6. Conner tallied 24 points, nine rebounds and four steals in that 71-68 victory as NIU improved to 14-3 overall and 9-0 in the Mid-Con, leaving

the team to consider the possibility of running the table in the league. After a 91-80 triumph at Valparaiso and an 84-68 non-conference loss at DePaul, the Huskies hit the century mark for the third time with a 103-57 victory over Eastern Illinois. NIU entered its next game at 11-0 in the Mid-Con, but the University of Illinois-Chicago ended hopes of a perfect league season with an 81-76 victory on Feburary 20. Even after that setback, Northern Illinois still owned the top spot in the Mid-Con and was just two games away from an unblemished home-court ledger. After defeating league rivals Cleveland State (88-77) and Youngstown State (105-92), the Huskies had done something none of their predecessors had accomplished as NIU left Evans Field House with an untarnished 13-0 record. Following a 102-70 victory at Western Illinois, Northern Illinois reached that magical 20-win plateau and a 77-51win at Wright State sent the Huskies into the inaugural Mid-Con tournament as the top seed. Six players scored in double figures as Northern Illinois easily dismissed Eastern Illinois, 102-51, to create a re-match versus UIC in the semifinals. The Huskies exacted revenge on the Flames, as a 10-0 run midway through the first half paved the way for a 45-23 halftime lead on the way to an 81-47 decision. Caryn Alexander and Conner each posted a “doubledouble” with Alexander leading the way at 15 points plus ten rebounds and Conner following with ten of each to propel NIU into the finals versus the home-standing Wisconsin-Green Bay Phoenix.

2009-2010 HUSKIE BASKETBALL

1992-93 ncaa tournament team Second-seeded UWGB battled the Huskies through a physical first half as NIU carried a 35-31 lead into the locker room. The advantage hovered between five and seven points for most of the second half before the Huskie defense shut down the Phoenix in the final six minutes. Wisconsin-Green Bay managed just two field goals in that span as Northern Illinois pulled away, cutting down the nets after a 7558 victory. For the third time in four years, the Huskies were off to the “Big Dance.” And the celebration took place on the floor of the team’s biggest conference rival. “It’s a very, very big win. I can’t really find the words to describe just how good it feels,” league Coach of the Year Albright said after the game. The following morning, the NCAA announced its brackets for the national summit. Northern Illinois—despite a 24-5 record and the No. 25 ranking in the final Associated Press national poll—was only granted a No. 11 seed, earning the team a trip to Washington, DC, to face fifthseeded Georgetown, the champions of the Big East Conference and 21-6 overall. With a seven-game winning streak, Northern Illinois entered confident in its ability to get past the Hoyas. Having four seniors and Hill in the starting line-up didn’t hurt, either. The match-up proved to be one of the most exciting contests in the tournament’s opening round. The first half featured seven ties and six lead changes, with Dianna Wingis’ jumper giving the Huskies an eight-point (33-25) lead with 4:19 to play before intermission—only to see Leni Wilson lead the hosts back to a 37-all deadlock at intermission. The second half was more of the same, with neither team establishing more than a fourpoint lead. Northern Illnois answered each Georgetown attack, tying the score at 39, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 62, 64, and 66 before the Hoyas claimed a 74-69 advantage at the 3:52 mark. Freshman Charmonique Stallworth trimmed the margin with a pair of free throws, and Hill’s jumper with 2:40 to play pulled NIU to within 74-73, setting the stage for a dramatic finale. The Huskies held GU scoreless for four consecutive possessions and had a chance to win but Conner missed a long jumper with seven seconds to play. Stallworth grabbed the rebound and was fouled with three ticks left on the clock. Following a Georgetown timeout, Stallworth hit the first of two free throws but watched the second bounce off the rim. Conner was called for a foul on the rebound, and two Wilson free throws allowed GU to escape, 76-74. Northern Illinois out-rebounded the Hoyas, 5735, but shot just 37 percent from the field and committed 23 turnovers. “I’m very proud of my team and the effort given tonight,” Albright said. “I don’t think we could have played any harder. It was certainly a heartbreaking way to lose a game.” The loss was especially disappointing for Conner, who managed just five points and five rebounds. Soph guard Leslie Pottinger had 11 points and 12 boards off the bench, while Alexander tallied 13 markers and 10 caroms. Hill landed on the Kodak District IV AllAmerica unit, adding that honor to her résumé

The Chicago native scored in double figures in 29 of the Huskies’ 30 games with eight outings of 20 or more markers. Conner remained linked to her former prep teammate as another first team All-Mid-Con selection, averaging 16.8 points and 7.4 rebounds per contest. Fellow senior Debbie Teske rounded out the trio of double-digit scorers at 11.5 markers per game while yet another senior—Wingis—closed her career as the team’s top rebounder at 7.6 caroms per outing. “Not only did this team win the first MidContinent Conference title and attend the NCAA tournament, this group was the first to go undefeated at home,” Albright said at the team’s postseason awards banquet. “We did so many things as a team. We finished 25th in the nation which is a tremendous feat and something we’re proud of.” With Conner, Teske, Wingis plus Julie Gainer and Tiana Burkholder graduating, the task of continuing the postseason tradition would fall to a new class including sophomore guard Leslie Pottinger and Stallworth. The perimeter players took the responsibility in stride, averaging 8.2 and 6.2 points per game, respectively, while establishing their position in the Huskies’ future and preparing NIU for another NCAA run in 1993-94.

Northern Illinois entered the 1993-94 women’s basketball season on a “Drive for Five.” Postseason tournaments in a row, that is. The season proved to be more of a marathon than a sprint as the Huskies looked for a third consecutive trip to the NCAA’s “Big Dance.” Northern Illinois stumbled out of the gates, losing its first three games of the season. NIU couldn’t enjoy the Hawaii sunscape, shooting just 26 percent in the opener—a 68-60 loss to Loyola Marymount—and falling 73-64 to the Oregon. When the University of Southern California over-came a career-high 35 points from Hill in registering a 90-79 triumph in Cheryl Miller’s coaching debut, the Huskies were searching for answers. At 0-3, NIU was off to its worst start since 1974-75, and hopes for another NCAA tournament bid already appeared slim. But head coach Jane Albright-Dieterle’s crew never lost its faith, and rewarded fans who shared that vision. The start of the Mid-Continent Conference schedule brought out a renewed intensity from the Huskies, who offered a sneak preview with a 94-56 rout of Southern Illinois behind 23 points from Hill and 18 from junior Leslie Pottinger. The Huskies began their defense of the league title with an easy 96-61 victory at Eastern Illinois and added similar routs of Wright State (82-57) and the Illinois-Chicago (74-56) before reaching the century mark with a 100-79 triumph at Valparaiso. Suddenly, NIU found itself at 5-3 overall and 4-0 in the league. The high-octane offense averaged more than 89 points per game in that span, but struggled through a sloppy 61-52 win versus Western Illinois before the first showdown with Mid-Con rival University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Hill proved up to that challenge with 23 points in an 81-73 victory, and Angela Lockett—back after missing all of the previous season with a knee injury—logged her fourth consecutive “double-double” versus Milwaukee as NIU ran the winning streak to eight

1993-94 ncaa tournament team Senior Recognition Night ceremonies saw Hill honored before the game for her achievements in two-plus years, but the Chicago native added another chapter to her résumé with 31 points and fellow fourth-year player Alexander chipped in with 13. Lockett narrowly missed yet another “double-double” with 18 points and nine rebounds as NIU rolled up a season-high 104 points for its eighth consecutive victory. At 18-0 in the conference, NIU was one of just five teams to go 1.000 in loop play. That unique group included traditional national powers Old Dominion, Tennessee and Louisiana Tech as well as UAB in the new Great Midwest Conference. Not bad company to be associated with, but the Huskies still had plenty to accomplish. With the Mid-Con tournament at Evans Field House, Northern Illinois seemed to be a prohibitive favorite. After all, the Huskies boasted the Player of the Year in Hill and another First-Team All-Mid-Con choice in Lockett. Hill scored 20 points in the quarterfinals to dispatch Wright State, 74-58, and Lockett equalled that feat in the semifinals, an 86-64 dismissal of Illinois-Chicago, to set up the third confrontation versus Wisconsin-Green Bay. NIU had won the league tournament final at Green Bay the previous season, and Hammerle’s troops came in with revenge in mind as the teams took the floor on March 12. Pottinger’s potential game-tying three-pointer over a defender fell off the rim, and future Northern Illinois assistant coach Rhonda Dart grabbed the rebound and dribbled out the clock for the 73-70 upset, sending the Phoenix to the “Big Dance” for the very first time. Hill was named the tourney’s Most Valuable Player with her game-high 24 points in a losing effort, but the senior leader fouled out with 4:46 remaining. Stallworth rallied the team with her 23 points, but the Huskie frontcourt trio of Lockett, Tracy Williams and Alexander combined for just 11 points. WisconsinGreen Bay shot a lofty 58 percent from the field, only the second time since the seasonopening slide that NIU allowed an opponent to hit at least half of its shots. The loss relegated the Huskies to the sidelines, waiting for an at-large berth into the tournament despite a 24-2 record in its last 26 games. The team was rewarded with the invitation, but Northern Illinois dropped to an 11th seed for the NCAA tournament and was forced into a trip to Southwest Missouri State University. Pottinger led the Huskies with 20 points and Hill added 17, but the Bears, champions of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament and winners of 72 of their previous 74 games at the Hammons Center, pulled away for a 75-56 win to end NIU’s dream run. Hill’s 22.0 points-per-game average—the fifth-highest rate in school history—plus 143 assists and 83 steals were more than enough to earn All-America recognition from the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. The future ABL and WNBA competitor also hit 52 three-point field goals while collecting 5.5 rebounds a night. Lockett’s stat line featured 13.1 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, allowing the junior to join Hill

Pottinger added 11.1 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game and came up one theft short of matching Hill’s single-season record of 100 steals, while Stallworth (9.5 points per outing) provided more optimism for the Huskies’ future. Alexander’s 52 blocked shots led the Mid-Con to go with an 8.0 ppg. pace. “This team had a love for the game and for one another, making them a very unique team to coach,” Albright-Dieterle said. “We’re all very proud of the accomplishments, including the win over Iowa. (That) was one of our biggest wins ever, and it will be a game we’ll all talk about for a long time. “This is a group that got off to an 0-3 start but wasn’t willing to accept that kind of effort,” the Huskie boss added. “We finished at .800 (24-6), which is a tremendous effort.” Albright-Dieterle was named the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Coach of the Year, but the Huskies’ enthusiasm was tempered on April 26 when the University of Wisconsin lured the sideline boss away. Northern Illinois’ search for a new leader led to the July 1 hiring of Liz Galloway-McQuitter, who took the task of continuing the school’s five-year postseason run. Meanwhile, Albright-Dieterle led the Badgers to the Women’s NIT title in 1999-2000 and five NCAA tournament appearances before making her return to DeKalb and the NIU Convocation Center on November 23, 2002.

1994-95 ncaa tournament team When Liz Galloway-McQuitter took over the Northern Illinois women’s basketball program on July 1, 1994, she had one plan in mind. “NIU’s program is in a situation where the support from both the and the community is there,” Galloway-McQuitter said at the press conference announcing her hiring. “My longterm goal is to have a Top 20 program year-in and year-out.” “We do not want anything less than to maintain our present level of success with the possibility of moving forward, meaning to extend the level of play in post-season competition,” interim athletics director Ray Dembinski proclaimed. The new Huskie mentor faced an uphill battle, following in the footsteps of long-time leader Jane Albright. With just over three months until the start of practice, Galloway-McQuitter had precious little time to meet her team and implement any new strategies. Recruiting new players would also have to wait until the following year’s cycle. The challenge was even greater with the graduation of Kodak District IV All-America honoree E.C. Hill and her 22.0 points-pergame scoring average, but Galloway-McQuitter had three returning starters ready to lead the charge back to the NCAA tournament. The Huskies’ “New Era” also featured a new league as Northern Illinois joined five other schools ( Wisconsin-Green Bay, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Illinois-Chicago, Cleveland State and Wright State ) in a jump from the Mid-Continent Conference into the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. Seniors Angela Lockett and Leslie Pottinger joined junior Charmonique Stallworth as the veteran leaders of the team as it embarked on the 1994-95 schedule.

All Northern Illinois needed was one defensive stop to cap its improbable run, but Marnie McBreen’s three-pointer halted the celebration as the teams headed for overtime at 69-69. La Salle had successfully held Pottinger in check for the first 40 minutes, as the First-Team All-MCC selection—who came in averaging more than 16 points per game—managed only four and her driving lay-up with 1:14 left in the second half was her only field goal in nine attempts to that point.

Our hope is to use the experience of this year to enable us to achieve even more in the future.”

Lisa Foss owns the record for games started (121 during her 1986-91 career). Foss, Carol Owens, Tammy Hinchee and Denise Dove re-wrote the Huskie record books in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Kris Weis was the fifth starter on that group which began a run of five NCAA tournament appearances (1990, 1992-95). A detailed list of the Huskie individual records can be found on the next nine pages, including lists of the 21 players to tally 1,000 points, the 12 Huskies with 250 or more assists and the 16 players to collect 150 or more steals. NIU’s postseason records are highlighted on page 120. That list features the best single-game individual and team performances in conference and national tournament play.

The Huskies’ 1990-91 team set school records for field goals made and attempted while posting a 25-10 overall record. Coach Jane Albright’s crew qualified for the Women’s National Invitational Tournament after finishing second in the North Star Conference.

NIUHUSKIES.COM

FAST FACTS: The Huskies led the nation in scoring in 1989-90, averaging 94.5 points per game, hitting the century mark eight times while producing a 26-5 overall record. That scoring rate is also fourth in NCAA Division I history. Providence set the D-I record with 96.7 ppg. the following season. Long Beach State’s 1986-87 team ranks second in the NCAA’s D-I annals at 95.8 ppg., with Grambling State third at 94.7 points per contest in 1993-94. NIU’s 1989-90 tally included 50.2 percent shooting from the field—a rate which placed the Huskies fourth in Division I—and 77.5 percent accuracy at the free throw line. The charity stripe mark was best in the nation that year, enabling the Huskies to gain a berth in the NCAA tournament—one of five trips to the “Big Dance” in the 1990s (1990, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995). Northern Illinois entered the national Top 20 polls for the first time during the 1989-90 campaign, climbing as high as No. 14 at one point. The Huskies finished the season ranked No. 17 in the USA Today/WBCA Coaches’ Poll and No. 20 in the AP writers’ panel.

During the 1992-93 season, the Huskies hit 127 three-point field goals in 383 attempts. Cindy Conner (32) hit 46 three-pointers and Debbie Teske (22) added 30 as NIU’s long-range attack produced a 24-6 record and the Mid-Continent Conference championship on the way to an NCAA tournament appearance.

TRIPLE-DOUBLES On Feb. 25, 1995, Leslie Pottinger showed her versatility versus Loyola University by totaling 20 points and 13 rebounds, along with a career-best 11 assists. The “triple-double” was only the second in Northern Illinois University history, matching the feat of NIU Athletics Hall of Famer Carol Owens versus Western Illinois University on Dec. 1, 1988. Owens’ trip-dip was even more special because she used pointsrebounds-steals, rather than the usual points-rebounds-assists combination.

HUSKIE TRADITION The Mascot

The Music

The Colors

Northern Illinois University’s athletics mascot wasn’t always a Huskie dog.

The “Huskie Fight Song” dates back to the 1961-62 academic year after an editorial appeal from The Northern Star asked for a “snappier” tune for students, fans, and alums to be played at athletics events.

Originally, the Northern Illinois State Normal School and a committee headed by Emma F. Stratford adopted yellow and white as the school’s official colors in 1899.

Since elevation to National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I status in the late 1960s, the Northern Illinois mascot has had several incarnations—a series of real dogs, a “live” Victor E. Huskie in costume, and several line drawing logo versions. The baby boomer set remembers the “fighting” Huskie in the boxer’s stance commissioned in the late 1950s. In 1985-86, the dog’s head made its debut. The “decommissioned” running Huskie dog was introduced in 1988, while the current Huskie dog—designed by Eric Rickabaugh of Rickabaugh Graphics in 2001—was unveiled at Media Day that August. Further note to Noah Webster and copy readers: Evans made reference in that 1940 story to a Huskie dog, not H-U-S-K-Y. So the singular collective form is indeed H-U-S-K-I-E.

Former Northern Illinois men’s swimming coach and physical education professor Francis Stroup answered the call with new lyrics and a modest rewrite of the chorus of Annas’ “Loyalty Song.” The Northern Star first published Stroup’s lyrics to the “Huskie Fight Song” on November 17, 1961. It was approved by the Student Senate April 30, 1963. Stroup was inducted into the NIU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1998. The lyric “Forward, Together Forward” was adopted by the university after five students were killed on campus, Feb. 14, 2008. The updated version of the “Alma Mater”— written by former NIU band director Wilbur Smith and English professor Orville Baker— originated in 1957 and made its debut at a campus Pops Concert in January, 1961. Smith authored the music and most of the lyrics—with some help by Baker.

Seven years later, NISNS desired some brighter hues that would not be obscured on the football uniforms by mud or grass stains. By December 1906, the Athletic Association discussed the plan of having an athletic monogram. They decided on a cardinal monogram N.I. on a black diamond to be used for team members only. “The red and black are very showy and much more suitable for athletic colors than yellow and white,” the then-monthly (February, 1907) Northern Illinois wrote. “The school colors are very pretty to decorate with, but they did not show up very well at games. Many colleges have athletic colors aside from the school colors, and it seemed to the Athletic Association that it would be very suitable for us to adopt the same plan.”
