There is a reason this team is called the Cardiac ‘Cats.
After taking two out of three in Ann Arbor last weekend, Northwestern faced off in a three-game set with Nebraska at the J. The ‘Cats and the Huskers held the top two spots in the Big Ten before they clashed, so this weekend was the biggest test the Wildcats had faced all season in conference play.
When the teams met on Friday, it was an expected battle of aces with Danielle Williams going against Courtney Wallace for UNL. Wallace, who leads the conference with 180 innings pitched this season, was no match for the scorching NU bats.
