Freshman Erin Jancic went 5-for-9 to lead the Wildcats (30-30, 11-12) to a doubleheader sweep of the Boilermakers.
Trailing 4-2 entering the bottom of the seventh inning, Northwestern rallied for a pair of runs to send the game into extra innings. Jancic belted an RBI-double off the top of the fence to make it 4-3. Four batters later, junior Jenn Shull coaxed a bases loaded walk to score the tying run. Jancic then won the game for the Cats in the eighth, singling home Tami Jones.
In the nightcap, sophomore Brooke Siebel carried a no-hitter into the fifth, leading the Wildcats to a 7-1 victory.
