EVANSTON, Ill. — Northwestern will take on Indiana on the road Thursday before returning home for a Senior Day matchup with Rutgers on Sunday at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium. Thursday's match will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT, while Sunday is slated for a 1 p.m. CT start. Both matches will be streamed on B1G+.
LAST TIME OUT
The Wildcats (5-2-6, 1-1-4 Big Ten) earned a 3-0 victory over Nebraska on Sunday, Oct. 5. Caterina Regazzoni, Sarah O'Donnell and Kennedy Roesch found the back of the net. Roesch, Keira Kemmerley, Liz Cardwell, Keira Wagner and Maddie Finnerty were credited with assists.
Goalkeeper Nyamma Nelson posted her seventh clean sheet of the season, giving her sole possession of the sixth-most shutouts in a single season in program history and third-most by a Wildcat first-year.
Northwestern outshot the Cornhuskers 13-8, marking the third time in the past four matches where the Wildcats recorded more shots than their opponent.
Midfielder Maggie Ledwith leads the Hoosiers (3-4-5, 0-2-4 Big Ten) with three goals and two assists this season. The Hoosiers have employed a two-goalkeeper system this fall, with both Dani Jacobsen and Sally Rainey both seeing time between the sticks.
Thursday will be the 31st all-time meeting between Northwestern and Indiana. The Wildcats hold a 14-13-3 record in the all-time series, but the Hoosiers have won the last two matchups. Northwestern will vie for its first victory in Bloomington since the 2017 campaign.
SCOUTING RUTGERS
Nata Ramirez paces the Scarlet Knights' (3-4-4, 1-4-1 Big Ten) with three goals and two assists this season. In 10 starts, goalkeeper Olivia Bodmer has surrendered just 0.9 goals per game. Rutgers' nine goals allowed this season ranks third in the Big Ten.
Sunday marks the 11th all-time matchup between the Wildcats and Scarlet Knights. Northwestern has a 3-5-2 record against Rutgers, dating back to the teams' first meeting during the 2014 season. The Scarlet Knights, who won the 2023 clash with the Wildcats 2-1, have never beaten Northwestern in Evanston.
UP NEXT
Northwestern will host in-state rival Illinois in Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium on Thursday, October 16. Kickoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. CT, with streaming on B1G+.
