EVANSTON, Ill. - Twelve regular season home games highlight the 1998-99 Northwestern Wildcats women's basketball schedule, released today by the Northwestern athletic department.
Under 15th-year head coach Don Perrelli, the Wildcats welcome back a pair of two-time All-Big Ten honorees in seniors Kristina Divjak and Megan Chawansky. Divjak led the Big Ten in scoring last season and needs 33 three-pointers to break the Big Ten career mark. Chawansky finished last season 11th in the Big Ten in scoring with 15.5 ppg. The Wildcat women, like their male counterparts, also open and close the season at home, beginning November 18 against Cal-Santa Barbara and ending on February 21 vs. Purdue. NU also hosts the 15th Annual Roger L. White Invitational on December 4-5, this year featuring Western Kentucky, Maine and Ohio. Former Wildcat Joanne Palombo is currently the head coach at Maine.
