Ever since the season opener against Louisville, Northwestern field hockey has taken its show on the road. After a stop in College Park, Md. for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge, the Wildcats headed to Vermont a few days later. Then this weekend, they traveled all the way up to Maine for a two-step against Maine and UMass.
And my goodness, the Wildcats proved to be quite adept in their dancing shoes. When the dust cleared, the team was returning to Evanston with a 2-0 weekend and a +6 scoring margin. The defense hasn't allowed a single goal since Sept.
