Women’s basketball

Central Michigan 75, NIU 70: At DeKalb, the Huskies (4-17, 2-8) pulled to within 70-68 on a Nevaeh Wingate free throw with 0:28 left, but her fifth turnover of the game three seconds later clinched the win for the Chippewas (13-7, 7-3).

“This is a tough one,” said head coach Jacey Brooks following the game. “I thought we played pretty well. The difference in the game was the offensive rebounds and second-chance points, as well as our performance at the free-throw line. It hurts, because we played well enough to win but didn’t make the plays down the stretch.”
