EVANSTON, Ill. – Northwestern women's soccer will host Oakland on Thursday, August 24 at 7:30 p.m. CT at Martin Stadium on B1G+.
Northwestern returns to Martin Stadium following a scoreless draw with Kansas State on Sunday. NU outshot K-State 19-3, including a 5-1 advantage in shots on goal, but was unable to find the back of the net.

Three Wildcats (Nicole Doucette, Emma Phillips, and Caterina Regazzoni) have played all 180 minutes this season.

Following Thursday's match against Oakland, the 'Cats will trek to Toledo for their second road game of the season. Kickoff from Ohio is set for 12 p.m. CT on ESPN+.
