Pitch Perfect, Week 12: Finale

Well, it’s week 12 of this column and, in certain aspects, I feel like I am back where I was at the start of the season. I’ll keep this one shorter today.

To emulate Bryan Boanoh, who writes The Low Block (the brother to this column about Northwestern Men’s Soccer), let’s engage in a little time travel to reflect on what this season has been like.

If you were to tell me our top scorer this year would be a first-year who didn’t get substantive minutes until halfway through October, I would have thought you were crazy. And if you were also to tell me the Wildcats were playing in the NCAA without three of their best players by the end of the year, I would have also thought you were crazy.
