Just over two weeks ago, the Northwestern women’s soccer team’s (7-7-1, 3-4-1 B1G) future was bright. The Wildcats had just capped off a four-game unbeaten streak with a solid 2-1 win against Nebraska, and were tied for third place in the Big Ten. Unfortunately, any good karma the ‘Cats experienced during their impressive first half of conference play has run out.
The momentum from Northwestern’s reassuring win against Nebraska should have been enough for the ‘Cats to bring their A-game against the No. 35 RPI ranked Indiana Hoosiers. Their third and final matchup in a lengthy stretch of home games at Martin Stadium, the Wildcats could not manage to see this one through, dropping a 1-0 loss to IU.
