Suffice to say, last night’s blowout loss was not the greatest performance from the Northwestern women’s basketball team. The Wildcats kept things close with No. 16 Notre Dame until about midway through the second quarter, when the Fighting Irish offense exploded, going on a 20-5 run to close the half. Northwestern’s scoring woes continued in the third and fourth quarters, where they experienced a drought lasting nearly six minutes and couldn’t manage to put the ball in the basket. It’s a long season, but Northwestern will have plenty to learn from its first major test of their 2023-24 campaign as they try to improve on their 9-21 record from the year before.
