Northwestern sits atop the Big Ten with a conference record of 4-0, and remains sixth in this week’s NFHCA pool.
The Wildcats are 2-0 since our last update after picking up wins over Rutgers and Drexel on a trip to the east coast.
Against Rutgers, Northwestern jumped out to a 4-0 lead, thanks in large part to Dominique Masters and Isabel Flens, who both scored a pair of goals to bring their scoring tallies to nine each on the season. NU withstood a late Rutgers rally to win 5-3. Just two days later, the team dominated Drexel 7-2, leading 7-0 at one point in the second half.
