On a gorgeous day in a tropical location, the Northwestern Wildcats (4-2) played far from a beautiful game and wound up with their second loss in three games as a result. Despite the high of 82 degrees in St. Thomas, the ‘Cats struggled to keep up with Pittsburgh (5-1), and ultimately fell by a score of 72-60.
In a game where the Wildcats lacked a true leader, freshman Jillian Brown finished atop the team in scoring, accounting for 14 points. Courtney Shaw and Veronica Burton each added 12, but Shaw did so on 6-for-9 shooting while boasting 10 boards, while Burton was an inefficient 3-for-11 from the field while recording five assists and four steals.
