Week's Achievements: Making his first weekend start for NIU, Tony Manville extended his winning streak to seven games as he picked up his team-high seventh win (7-1) in the rubber match finale on Sunday at Eastern Michigan ... The Iowa-transfer held an Eagles team that was hitting over .300 and entered the series with a nation-best 11-game winning streak to one run on just three hits and three walks in a career-best 8.1 innings with four strikeouts ... The lone run he allowed in his career-best outing came on a wild pitch in the sixth ... The only innings he gave up hits in were the first (2) and sixth as he retired the side in each of the second, third, fourth, fifth and seventh innings.
 Week's Achievements: Zoe Sinner paced the Huskies with four RBI, a .900 slugging percentage and .667 on-base percentage to help NIU to a 3-2 week, including a 3-1 weekend in Mid-American Conference play.  Posting a .400 (4-for-10) batting average, she compiled two runs, two doubles, one home run and eight walks in the five games.  She went 2-for-2 with a solo home run and walk in a loss to DePaul last Wednesday.  She was just one of two Huskies to reach base on Friday’s Game One against Miami (Ohio) as she drew a walk in three plate appearances.  In Game Two versus the RedHawks, she went 1-for-2 with two RBI and two walks to help NIU to victory.  In a win over Ball State on Saturday, she was 1-for-3 with a walk, run and RBI.  In Sunday’s win against Ball State, she drew three walks in four plate appearances.
