Northwestern’s run in the WNIT may have ended with a 56-42 loss to Arizona, but it’s clear from the last two weeks that this program’s potential is growing.
In front of a packed crowd, Arizona dominated Northwestern defensively and was in control from wire to wire. There’s not much else to say about the game itself. Despite Northwestern playing excellent “blizzard zone” defense, the purple Wildcats were unable to make enough shots to win. Veronica Burton hit three threes and led the team with 16 points, but that was the only real bright spot on that side of the floor.
