EVANSTON, Ill. - The Northwestern University field hockey team dropped to 0-8 in the Big Ten Conference Friday afternoon, falling to the University of Michigan 5-1.

The eighth-ranked Wolverines extended their winning streak to five games and upped their conference record to 6-1.

Lindsay Wright (St. Catherines, Ontario/Ridley College) scored the lone goal for the Wildcats on an assist from Amy Haase (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) midway through the first half.
