On a beautiful Friday evening in Evanston, the Northwestern women's lacrosse team missed a prime chance to get its season back on track, dropping a hard fought game to undefeated USC to drop a game below .500. The Wildcats are now firmly in danger of missing the NCAA tournament.
In what was a rough and tumble game on both sides, coach Kelly Amonte Hiller and the Wildcats have to be disappointed with the way this one turned out: 14-11, in favor of the visitors. The teams played a closer game than the scoreboard indicated, but from the start, this was USC's game to lose.
