Job’s not finished
Here are a couple of stats from Friday’s contests between Northwestern and Saint Joseph’s:
Saint Joseph’s recorded five shots across all four quarters. Northwestern had more than four times that amount, finishing with 22 and recording at least five shots in three of the four quarters. In its first-round win against Vermont, the Hawks earned six penalty corners, converted on one and gave up only three. On Friday, the ’Cats were the ones to hold SJU to three total corners while racking up 11 of their own, turning them into two goals. Northwestern’s 22 shots are the most that the Hawks have allowed all season. Goalkeeper Avianna Wagner was forced into nine saves, two short of her season high.
