EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern battled back from an early deficit to defeat Michigan State 2-1 Friday night at Martin Stadium.
 
First-year student Lily Gilbertson netted her first career goal in the 14th minute and graduate student Olivia Korhonen put in the game-deciding goal on a 58thminute header assisted by sophomore Olivia Stone.  
The goal was the second of Korhonen's career, with the first coming against Michigan on October 9, 2016.
 
Sophomore Mackenzie Wood was reliable as usual in goal with six saves for her fourth game in a row with five or more saves.
 
The win brings the Wildcats to 5-6-2 overall on the season, moving to 3-2-1 in conference play.
