Northwestern women’s basketball took care of business yet again. The Wildcats (3-0) defeated University of Illinois-Chicago Flames (1-1) 87-44 Thursday night. Northwestern proved the teams weren’t in the same league, dominating every stat category and easily securing a decisive win over the Flames.
It was an all-around team win: four players put up double digits, and five others contributed to the 87-point total.
“This group, they like each other,” Coach Joe McKeown said after the game. “They share the ball. They’re really unselfish.”
After a conservative, mistake-filled start, Northwestern started to pull away with a few minutes left in the first quarter.
