Northwestern opened its season last Sunday with an 89-49 victory over Howard at Welsh-Ryan Arena. Junior Nia Coffey poured in 29 points to lead a quartet of 'Cats in double-digit scoring and added seven boards, four steals and three assists in her 2015-16 debut. Coffey registered her 1,000th career point in the first quarter to become the second active Wildcat to accomplish the feat, and joined eight other players in the Big Ten's 1,000-point club. Christen Inman added 18 points, Ashley Deary tallied 16 and rookie Jordan Hankins contributed 13 points in Northwestern's performance.

Coffey was named to the John R. Wooden Award Preseason Top-30 List. The list is comprised of 30 student-athletes who are the early front-runners for college basketball's most prestigious honor.
