Rutgers tried their very best to hang on, but a 10-minute scoring drought between the second and third quarters gifted Northwestern an important win 55-37 on the road.
It was not a pretty game of basketball, by any means. Both teams combined for 38 turnovers, yet Rutgers didn’t even break 40 points due to shooting 25 percent from the field. Nia Coffey only took 6 shots and scored a season-low 7 points, but the Wildcats were bailed out by Lauren Douglas, who led the team with 16. Amber Jamison, continuing her newfound status as a go-to player, hit two threes and added 10.
