EVANSTON, Ill. – No. 18 Northwestern looks to rebound from its first loss of the season when it visits unbeaten Indiana on Sunday. Kickoff from Bloomington is set for 12 p.m. CT on B1G+.
Last time out, Northwestern suffered its first setback, a 2-0 loss at the hands of #19 Michigan. The Wildcats outshot the Wolverines 13-9 and held a 10-4 edge in corner kicks, but were unable to convert on any of their chances in the loss. The clean sheet marks Northwestern's first time being shut out in Big Ten play since Oct. 24, 2021.
The Wildcats rank second in the Big Ten and 20th nationally in scoring offense, averaging 2.80 goals per game.
Northwestern's 28 goals are the most through 10 games in program history.
Through 10 games, 10 Wildcats have tallied a goal, matching the total number of goalscorers through all 23 games last season.
Meg Boade ranks first in the Big Ten and second nationally with nine assists.
Emma Phillips leads all Wildcats with 891 out of 900 possible minutes played.
Thursday's matchup will mark the 30th all-time meeting between Northwestern and Indiana on the pitch. The 'Cats hold a 14-12-3 advantage all-time in the series. Northwestern fell 1-0 to Indiana on Oct. 8, 2021 in the most recent meeting between the two sides.
The Hoosiers enter Sunday's contest on a five-game winning streak at 8-0-2 and 2-0 in Big Ten play. Paige Webber leads IU offensively, notching 11 goals and three assists through just 10 games. Jamie Gerstenberg handles goalkeeping duties, recording five shutouts and allowing just 0.63 goals per game.
Northwestern will return home to Martin Stadium on Thursday, September 28 when it hosts in-state rival Illinois. Kickoff for that matchup is set for 7 p.m. CT on B1G+.
