Northwestern field hockey’s thrilling season came to an abrupt end in the final minutes of its first-round NCAA Tournament matchup against Boston College. The Wildcats fell 2-1 to the Eagles on a last-second penalty corner, knocking them out of the tournament and marking the end of their 2019 season.
BC’s late-season momentum carried them past the Wildcats and into the second round of the tournament, despite having lost to Northwestern 3-2 back in September. They will go on to face No. 4 Louisville, who hosted this quadrant of the bracket and defeated Michigan 2-1 in double overtime earlier today.
