 How it Happened
• With the game tied at eight in the third quarter, Northwestern scored goal straight goals to break open the game. Brennan Dwyer sparked the run with a free position goal at the 9:47-mark Six different Wildcats scored during the run saw NU go up 15-8 after three.
• Northwestern jumped out to a 3-0 lead but a pair of Abbey Hurlbrink goals in an 81-second span cut the deficit to one with 3:56 to play in the first. Erin Coykendall put the Cats back up by two, but Madison McPherson went coast-to-coast after grabbing a rebound on the defensive end and beat Madison Doucette on the doorstep. Dwyer answered with 52 seconds left in the quarter to put NU up 5-3 after one.
• Jill Girardi made it two straight for the home team, scoring at 9:28 in the second. The Blue Jays answered with three goals in a three-minute span to knot the score at six. Bailey Cheetham got things going with a free position goal, followed by a Claire Mills transition goal. Jeanne Kachris carried into the offensive end on the clear, drew a double team and then found Mills in the alley for the score. Just two minutes later, Mills cashed in a on free position shot to make it 6-6. Gilbert had the final say of the half however, scoring with just 0.8 seconds remaining to give NU the lead at the break.
• Shelby Harrison didn't need long to tie the game up in the third as she dodged to the cage off a restart and scored from in-tight. Coykendall put the Cats back on top with a free position goal but George Gorelick answered for the Blue Jays, tying the game at eight with 10:33 to go in the third. Northwestern responded with that game-changing eight-goal run.
• Harrison ended the run at the 8:41-mark in the fourth. She dodged the left alley, slipped inside her defender and dropped her stick to beat Doucette from two yards out. NU answered with a three-goal spurt to push the lead to 18-9 with 6:35 to play. Gorelick got one back for the Blue Jays when she dodged from behind, spun on her defender and scored from the doorstep.
• Greta Stahl answered less than a minute later to stake the Cats to a 19-10 lead with 3:47 on the clock. McPherson would score twice in a 59-second span to make it a 19-12 final.
