For the ‘Cats, things seem to be heading in the right direction.
Northwestern finally broke its almost month-long streak of bad luck on Thursday, winning its first game in 25 days against Iowa, 2-1. Then came a tie against No. 4 Penn State, 2-2. It seems that things are finally on the up-and-up for the ‘Cats, who are hopeful for a return to the successes of the season’s beginning.
The showdown in Iowa City started with an Emma Phillips masterclass. After an incredible save to keep Iowa’s first score out of the net, her set-piece header put Northwestern on the board.
