In the early weeks of this season, Northwestern field hockey (5-1, 3-1 B1G) has been nearly unstoppable, and against Indiana this weekend, the Wildcats proved that once again. On its home turf, NU swept the Hoosiers 2-0 and did not allow a single Indiana goal the entire weekend.
In Friday’s game, the Wildcats took control from the start, when Mackenzie Keegan drove it in from the top of the circle on a penalty corner to take the early 1-0 lead. Peyton Halsey and Bente Baekers extended the lead with back-to-back goals in the second quarter just 40 seconds apart.
