The Eastern Michigan Eagles won the last time they met up with the Northern Illinois Huskies, and they shouldn't regret having come to the reunion, either. EMU came out on top against NIU by a score of 41-33 Saturday.
The Eagles' offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 20 points in the first half. The Huskies weren't quite able to keep up, and the score was 20-10 heading into the break. Although EMU wound up losing the second-half battle, they still had enough in reserve to win the war.
