EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern (3-0) defeated Loyola-Chicago (1-2) 63-47 in Abi Scheid’s first visit back to Welsh-Ryan Arena in two years — this time behind enemy lines as the Ramblers’ Director of Player Development.
Unfortunately, Scheid’s memory of McKeown’s playbook from her days as a player in Evanston did not carry over into her new side’s performance, as the Wildcats handed the Ramblers their second loss in dominant fashion. In what ended up being a low-scoring, defensive game, Northwestern caused 26 turnovers, turning them into 17 points.
Courtney Shaw had herself a night with 12 points and five rebounds while first-years Caileigh Walsh and Jillian Brown combined for 17 points.
