30 seconds into the 2023 season, #18 Northwestern women’s soccer sent a chip over the top of Marquette’s back line. Keeper Mikki Easter made a challenge, but couldn’t come up with the ball at the top of the 18 yard box, and eventually, NU’s Ella Hase tapped it in for a 1-0 lead.

An auspicious start if there ever was one, both to the match and to the season.
