2/19/2024 2:55:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse

Evanston, Ill. - The Lake show is back in action tonight squaring off against the Marquette Golden Eagles. Northwestern, currently holding the #4 spot in the nation, are determined to bounce back from a recent 14-10 loss to Notre Dame,. The Wildcats will enjoy the home advantage at the once again sold-out Ryan Fieldhouse, where they boast an impressive 33-game winning streak. Adding to their confidence is their commanding 8-0 lead in the all-time series against Marquette.
 

On the other side, Marquette is looking to recover from a setback after a 14-9 loss at the hands of Louisville. The team will be relying on the scoring power of Isabelle Casucci, who notched a career-high four goals in their last outing.

For Northwestern, key players to watch include Erin Coykendall, who was recognized with Big Ten Player of the Week honors for her exceptional performance last week, and Izzy Scane, who is closing in on a remarkable milestone of 300 goals, currently standing at 293. Additionally, the Wildcats have bolstered their roster with the addition of Mary Schumar, a graduate transfer from Marquette, who brings a wealth of experience and impressive credentials, including holding the all-time record for assists (115) and ranking fifth in points (169) in Marquette's history.

As the teams meet for the ninth time, Northwestern aims to uphold its flawless record against Marquette. The 'Cats will follow tonight's matchup on the road this Thursday as they take on the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder.
