Last Time Out
In a game that saw all seven goals scored in the second half, senior Jenny Dunn's tally in the 87th minute gave the Wildcats a 4-3 win over Nebraska in their season opener Friday at Lakeside Field. All four seniors registered points and three Wildcats scored their first career goals.
Laura Janowitsch put the 'Cats up 1-0 while fellow senior Amanda Hoffman gave NU a 2-1 lead. After freshman Emily Langston scored her first-career goal to give the Wildcats a 3-1, Dunn netted the game-winner in the closing minutes of a 3-3 game to secure victory.
Second-Half Firepower
In Northwestern's season-opener against Nebraska, the Wildcats put up four second-half goals en route to a 4-3 victory over the Huskers. Senior Laura Janowitsch got the scoring started with a goal from just over midfield and senior Jenny Dunn netted the game-winner late in regulation.
First-Timers
Out of NU's four second-half goals against Nebraska, three were Wildcats' first-career goals. Senior defensive mainstay Laura Janowitsch and senior midfielder Amanda Hoffman both recorded their first-career goals in the win. Wildcat freshman Emily Langston notched her first goal in her first game. Fellow freshman Kelsey Bertamus notched an assist in her first game as a Wildcat.
Welcome Back!
After missing all of 2007 due to injury, Leigh Jakes made her return to the playing field in the 'Cats' 2008 season-opener. Jakes, a 2006 Big Ten All-Freshman selection, registered an assist from the back line in her first action since the 2006 season.
Off to a Great Start
Senior Jenny Dunn's game-winning goal against Nebraska was her third-career game-winning goal and the 14th goal of her career. After the graduation of Kelsey Hans and Shannon Schneeman, who sit at first and third on NU's all-time career goals list, respectively, Dunn is the 'Cats' active leader in goals. Dunn is two goals from cracking NU's top-10.
A Dramatic First Win
Offense wasn't the entire story of the Wildcats' 4-3 over Nerbaska last Friday. Sophomore goalkeeper Carolyn Edwards, making her first-career start between the pipes, picked up her first-career win. The sophomore made three saves.
