Sunday afternoon head coach Willy Roy’s soccer squad will return to action against Illinois State University.

Scheduled start time is 2 p.m. at the Huskie Soccer Complex.

NIU (1-3) will attempt to turn around a string of three one-goal losses with a strong victory over the Redbirds.

The key to the Huskies’ success will be the improvement of their defense and strong play from the goalie position.

Head coach Willy Roy was thoroughly displeased in these two areas during NIU’s last loss.
