Northwestern field hockey’s first exhibition game against Michigan State is now exactly two weeks away! We already started previewing the roster by dissecting the NCAA finalists’ newcomers on Friday; now it’s time to look at some of the returning contributors who either played as reserves in 2022 or will take on significantly larger roles in 2023.
It’s worth noting that the criteria for this is very subjective — this will include returning players who started fewer than 20 games for the ‘Cats in 2022, which means there are a few returning starters here who may have missed some time last fall.
