EVANSTON, Ill. -- One week later than anticipated, Northwestern raised the curtain on the 2014 campaign with a second-place finish at the Badger Season-Opener hosted by Wisconsin Friday night, led by a pair of sophomores in Jena Pianin and Andrea Ostenso.
Pianin placed fourth overall in the 4K race with a time of 14:12, while Ostenso also recorded a top-10 finish with an effort of 14:21. Junior Camille Blackman was third among Wildcats and 12th overall in 14:37, while a pair of freshmen -- Isabel Seidel (14:48) and Kinsey Harmon (14:55) -- rounded out the list of NU point-scorers in their Northwestern debuts.
The Wildcats, who won the Badger Season-Opener one year ago, finished second only to host Wisconsin with 56 team points. Marquette (76) was third, followed by Loyola (Chicago) in fourth with 85.
