In its first homestand of the season, Northwestern field hockey did not disappoint. The Wildcats took down Indiana 5-0, and the University of Pennsylvania 3-1, to extend their winning streak to seven straight after dropping the first of the season.
The ‘Cats wasted no time in the home opener, with Peyton Halsey scoring just 59 seconds in. That set the tone of the game, as Northwestern held possession for most of the match and did not allow the Hoosiers a single shot in the first half. The Wildcats also kept the Hoosiers from a corner until the second half and only surrendered two, while they earned seven.
