EVANSTON, Ill. — A win is a win.
While it wasn't the most impressive performance from the Northwestern Wildcats (8-3) or their star guard, Veronica Burton, it was enough to walk away victorious against UW-Milwaukee (4-7), as the ‘Cats walked away on top, 55-46.
In the absence of a dominant performance from Burton, who finished 2-for-12 from the field, NU relied on the play of Caileigh Walsh — who scored 17 while racking up 5 rebounds — and a pair of three-pointers from junior Kaylah Rainey to jump start its offense and regain the lead after falling behind early.
