The 'Cats then turned up the defense in the second half, holding MSU to just two shots. Meanwhile, Northwestern evened the score when Colleen Hotz (St. Louis Mo./Cor Jesu Academy) redirected a Whitman shot with 1:47 remaining on the game clock.
Amy Haase (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) picked up her team leading 11th assist on the year while Whitman and Jodie Condie (St. Louis Mo./Villa Duchesne) also picked up assists.
