Northwestern field hockey posts two shutout wins over ranked opponents

The Northwestern field hockey team was in need of some momentum after a tough 1-0 loss at the hands of No. 8 Louisville last Sunday.

With two shutout victories at Lakeside Field this weekend, the No. 14 Wildcats got just what it needed. NU (7-4, 2-0 B1G) shutout No. 13 Iowa on Friday before blanking No. 25 California on Sunday afternoon.

Iowa and Cal managed only 11 combined total shots over 140 minutes of play, as NU goalie Annie Kalfas posted consecutive clean sheets.

On Friday, Northwestern broke through off a Maren Seidel redirection late in the second half.
