Western Michigan 65, NIU 60: At Kalamazoo, Michigan, the Huskies trailed by 19 in the second quarter and 17 in the third but couldn’t get closer than three in the fourth.

NIU (5-22 overall, 2-13 Mid-American Conference) cut it to 63-60 on a 3-pointer by Sa’Mahn Johnson with 2:17 left. She followed with a steal but missed a layup and after a Maria Serracanra rebound, missed a second layup.

Johnson had a chance at a tying 3-pointer with 0:39 left but it missed and the Huksies were forced to foul the Broncos (8-17, 4-10) the rest of the way.

“I was proud of our effort in the second half, and the third quarter in particular, to get back in the game,” head coach Jacey Brooks said. “I just wish we didn’t down as much as we did in the first half. We made some big shots, hit some threes, but every time we got within two Western made a big shot.”

Johnson and Serracanta finished with 14 points each. Emilie Sorensen added nine points and nine rebounds.
