Northwestern field hockey (14-7, 5-3 B1G) officially secured its spot as one of 18 teams heading to the NCAA tournament on Sunday night. After a strong regular season and a final push in the Big Ten tournament, the Wildcats earned a well-deserved place recognizing them as one of the nation’s top teams this season.
The Big Ten Tournament that occurred over the weekend was a wild one for Northwestern. The Wildcats were able to get by Rutgers and advance to the tournament semifinals, but ultimately fell 2-1 to Iowa (after suffering a day-long ice delay) who went on to win the tournament.
