MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The Wildcats turned in their highest scoring game of the season so far in a 21-14 win over Marquette on the road, improving their record to 3-1.
Though Izzy Scane led the Northwestern offense once again with eight goals and one assist, Thursday's match-up showcased the depth of the Wildcat roster. Seven other 'Cats added tallies to the scoreboard and five scored more than once.
