Field Hockey Plays No. 1 Northwestern in Big Ten Semis Friday Live on BTN

Northwestern up 1-0 after 3 periods. RuUgetting a hose job. Ref gave Kara Heck a 5min yellow for something that didn't even look like a foul to begin with.
 
Northwestern wins 2-0. Scored late with RU goalie pulled. RU played them very well. Had control & better of play in second half. Northwestern is undefeated. We were right with them.
 
In sports like soccer and field hockey with so many very low scoring games there is a small margin for error.
 
Northwestern is really a blue blood powerhouse in field hockey, sounds like we hung in there
 
More than that. Dominated the 2nd half.
This. Rutgers truly outplayed NW for much of the game, but NW cashed in on an early penalty corner, and then simply got an empty net goal after we pulled our goalie in the last two minutes.

Our ladies can hold their heads high today after battling the juggernaut that is Northwestern.

Unfortunately, starting the season 4-7 will likely prove to be too much to overcome, as we finished 8-9 overall and probably won’t make the NCAA Tournament despite an RPI around 15.

We might have had a chance at 9-8 if we would’ve beaten UMass-Lowell last week. We had a small margin for error after the bad start to the season, and a late season loss to a team outside the top 25 RPI was probably the death blow if we weren’t going to make the B1G final.
