NIU women’s basketball game Saturday postponed

The Mid-American Conference announced Thursday that the Northern Illinois University women’s basketball game against Kent State, scheduled for Saturday at the NIU Convocation Center, has been postponed because of roster issues with the Kent State women’s basketball team related to COVID-19 and subsequent contact tracing.

The game will be rescheduled on a to-be-determined date.

The Huskies are schedule to play Wednesday at Akron followed by Jan. 30 at home against Miami.

The NIU men had both games this week postponed because of COVID-19-related issues, instituting a seven-day pause. They are scheduled to play at Bowling Green on Tuesday.
