After dropping 13 straight games, the NIU softball team was going to have the chance to break the streak.

However, due to “extreme cold,” the Huskies (5-15 overall, 0-2 MAC) will have to wait for their chance to win, according to Media Services’ Web site.

The team’s home opener against No. 16 Northwestern was canceled yesterday. A makeup date has not been announced yet.

However, NIU announced the date for the rescheduled game against Illinois State. Earlier in the season, a doubleheader against ISU was canceled due to inclement weather. The two teams will now face off April 29 in Normal.
