Lacrosse: thrilling individual performances lead ‘Cats to a perfect 4-0 conference start

Though it may not have stepped foot in Martin Stadium just yet this year, The Lakeshow has done nothing but show it is a force to be reckoned with in its past few contests.

Last weekend, the No. 3 Northwestern women’s lacrosse team flew to the east cost where it faced conference foe Penn State and non-conference opponent University of Pennsylvania.

In both games, the Wildcats held their opponents to single-digit scores—the Nittany Lions scored six goals and the Quakers scored nine in their respective matchups, while Northwestern notched 17 in each.

Friday’s matchup in State College featured junior Erin Coykendall and graduate student Jill Girardi putting up five goals each, with graduate student Lauren Gilbert adding three of her own.
