EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern finishes its season-opening three game homestand on Wednesday night against crosstown foe Loyola. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. CT on B1G+ as the Wildcats look to improve to 3-0.

Lyon finished her four year career at Northwestern in 2016 as the seventh highest scorer in program history and the program leader in career three-point field goals. She was a four-time All-Big Ten honorable mention.
The Wildcats are coming off a 72-46 win over UC Santa Barbara on Wednesday, their second game holding an opponent under 50 points. The 'Cats forced 21 turnovers and limited the Gauchos to 32% from the field and 25% from deep.
Courtney Shaw notched her second double-double in row with 12 points and 11 boards while adding a career-high five steals. She currently leads the Big Ten in rebounds per game with 11.5
Veronica Burton dominated affairs with 20 points on 7-13 shooting and 4-6 shooting from deep, while racking up seven assists, five steals, three rebounds and a block.
