Women’s basketball

NIU 64, Buffalo 58: At Buffalo, Emilie Sorensen scored 20 points to help the Huskies (3-11) snap a seven-game losing streak.

The Huskies shot 41.8% from the floor and 42.9% from 3-point range, but Sorensen was 5-for-6 from the floor, including 4-for-5 on 3s.

Nevaeh Wingate scored 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds in 29 minutes before fouling out. Nadechka Laccen had 12 points and seven rebounds. Maria Serracanta had seven points and six assists with just one turnover.
