EVANSTON, Ill. – No. 6 Northwestern hosts No. 3 Syracuse in a heavyweight battle at Ryan Fieldhouse on Tuesday at 3 p.m. CT on Big Ten Network. Admission for all fans for the game is free. Dean Linke (play-by-play) and Caley Chelios (analyst) have the call on BTN.
The Wildcats sit at 3-1 after a 17-16 win at No. 17 Notre Dame last Wednesday, with their only loss coming at No. 1 Boston College in the season-opener.
Lauren Gilbert tied a career high with seven goals against Notre Dame, while Brennan Dwyer and Hannah Johnson each contributed three goals. It was Northwestern's first one-goal win since taking down No. 16 Duke by a score of 21-20 on Feb. 17, 2019.
