After opening their season with 18 wins in their first 20 contests before sneaking into the NCAA Tournament following some spring struggles, the Northwestern Wildcats’ 2021 campaign has come to a close.
NU’s ‘Cats were sent packing after dropping two against the Tournament’s 14th-overall seed Kentucky, which first bested them 3-2 on Friday. In between their two defeats against UK, Kate Drohan’s team knocked the Miami-Ohio RedHawks out with a 7-1 victory on Saturday afternoon, but lacked the pitching and hitting to keep up with their SEC hosts in an elimination game later that day, falling 7-2.
