After riding the high of taking down No. 3 Iowa, Northwestern shot up to a No. 1 ranking. It followed up the vote of confidence with an easy take down of Ohio, 5-0, on its Senior Day. To a certain extent, it’s almost unfair how good Northwestern field hockey is. The Wildcats’ fifth straight shutout — 10th of the season — brought them to 13 consecutive wins.
The first half, as was the case for most of the game, was all Northwestern. The Bobcats never even had the chance to fire a shot in the opening quarter and only were able to tally one by the half.
