A long lightning delay didn't stop Northwestern from moving on. The Wildcats used four goals from Selena Lasota and two each from Kaleigh Craig and Christina Esposito to advance past a pesky Louisville Cardinal team Friday night. NU will play the winner of the Ohio State/Notre Dame game on Sunday with an Elite Eight berth on the line.
It was truly a tale of two halves Friday evening at Lakeside Field.
After a two hour, 33 minute lightning delay, the No. 8 seed Northwestern Wildcats came out of the delay with good energy and clean play in the second half to beat the Louisville Cardinals 10-7 and advance to the second round of NCAA tournament.
