Led by 27 points from senior guard Mikayla Voigt (Slinger, Wis./Kettle Moraine Lutheran), the Northern Illinois University women's basketball team defeated the Eastern Michigan Eagles 70-60 at the NIU Convocation Center Wednesday night. "I was really proud of our team because I thought our demeanor was really good for 40 minutes," said head coach Lisa Carlsen. "We matched their physicality, and that's really tough to do against a team like Eastern. Even though we struggled a little bit offensively in the first half, I thought we were getting good shots and being aggressive in hopes that we would find our rhythm in the second half. We did a nice job on the glass and continued to battle for key rebounds, especially late in the game."
