2016, you have been avenged.
Nine months ago, Notre Dame ended Northwestern’s season with a dominant 15-3 win in the NCAA Tournament. But in Sunday’s rematch, the No. 9 Wildcats (2-0) went up early and held on late against No. 8 Notre Dame (0-1) for an impressive 14-13 win on the road.
Kelly Amonte Hiller didn’t hold anything back in her scheduling for 2017, giving Northwestern a road matchup against a top-10 team for its second test of the season. Her team responded well despite losing a huge early lead and then nearly losing a three-goal lead with two minutes to go.
