First-years come up big in Northwestern’s tight win over Rutgers

At the end of the third quarter in Northwestern’s win over Rutgers last night, first-year Melannie Daley was 0-for-5 from the field.

Oddly enough, her poor shooting hadn’t had too much of an impact on the game. Sure, she ended the first quarter shooting 0-for-4 and her missed shots did play a role in the Wildcats’ 11-10 deficit, but she had a plus/minus of +3 through the first 30 minutes of action. On top of that, the ‘Cats led by seven at the end of the third, and had even led by as much as 15 before that point.
