EVANSTON, Ill. – For the third straight week, Madison Taylor has earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors. She is the only first-year in the conference to earn the weekly award so far.
The last Wildcat to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors in three straight weeks was Samantha White (3/29/2022, 4/5/2022, 4/12/2022). Before that, Izzy Scane did so in 2019 (3/19/2019, 3/26/2019, 4/2/2019). Both went on to win Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
Taylor won her latest weekly honors after a two goal performance against Marquette, bringing her season total to 12 goals. She also pulled down a game-high eight draw controls for 24 on the season. She is second on the team in both categories.
The Wantagh, N.Y. native won her first weekly award for her five-goal debut against Syracuse, becoming the first Wildcat to score at least five goals in their first collegiate game since 2007. Her second honor came for her performance in Northwestern's wins over Notre Dame and Boson College which culminated in five goals. Taylor has yet to score less than two goals in any game.
