KALAMAZOO, Mich - The Northern Illinois University women's cross country team finished third, behind Western Michigan and IPFW at the George Dales Invite this afternoon. Host, Western Michigan tallied just 32 points, followed by IPFW with 38 and the Huskies who compiled 59 points on the day. John Carroll finished in fourth place with 102 points.

Freshman standout Sunsea Shaw (South Bend, Ind.) led the Huskies on the day with a fifth-place finish and time of 18:29.12. She was followed by junior Meagan Ginter (Aurora, Ill.) who finished eighth overall with a time of 18:46.57.

Prospect, Ill.) and Breanna Brevitt (Dixon, Ill.) finished 16th and 19th respectively to round out the Huskies top-5.

"As a team we improved compared to last year's meet at Western Michigan which is a good thing," said head cross country coach Mark McConeghey. "The team ran well as a group today, now we will begin to train for the MAC Championships."

The Huskies will be back in action on October 27, when they face the rest of the conference in the MAC Champions hosted by Central Michigan. That meet is scheduled to start at 11 a.m. CST.
