Nearly all of NIU's athletic teams will be busy this weekend! NIU Football will continue spring practice tonight (Friday) at 7:30 @ Huskie Stadium. Huskie Baseball is at Bowling Green for a weekend MAC showdown - the Huskies (9-12) dropped the first game of the series 3-2. They look to rebound tomorrow at 12PM. The NIU Women's Track & Field team travels to Oxford, Ohio on Saturday for a MAC meet at Miami of Ohio. The Women's Gymnastics team will go to Kent, Ohio for the MAC Gymnastics Championships. The Men's soccer team will be in action at Huskie Stadium, taking on Bradley and UW-Green Bay. The Women's soccer team will also take on UW-Parkside at Huskie Stadium. The Men's Tennis team will face SIU in DeKalb, while Women's Tennis will be on the road at Western Michigan and Bowling Green. FINALLY, the Men's Golf squad will be in action at the Hoosier Invite in Bloomington, Indiana. Phew...I'm tired!

Some exciting news out of "Huskie Land" today!

First, baseball coach Ed Mathey has inked the #1 recruiting class in the MAC and the 63rd best class in the nation - according to Perfect Game. NIU is ranked ahead of all but ONE Big Ten school (Iowa)!

Second, sophomore high jumper Jessica Statler was named to the Academic All-Mid-American Conference team! More details about her accomplishments can be found here.

Last, but not least...here are some pictures I snapped of Huskie Stadium tonight. The doors to the Yordon Center and West Grandstand we're unlocked...I swear!
