Outlook: Although Northwestern returned three of the five leading goal scorers from last season, he is a row for his third season in a row. It has been head coach Joe McKown and the wildcats downhill for a three-year run from 2018 to 2021, when the program 63-28, including a Big Ten title of the regular season, was canceled during the 2020 season when the NCAA tournament was canceled.

The returnees Melannie Daley and Caileigh Walsh are on average double -digit with Walsh with 12.0 ppg and 4.5 RPG, while Daley contributes 11.6 ppg. Casey Harter and Caroline Lau started 25 of the 26 games this season this season after both spent time last season. Harter scores seven points per competition, while Lau achieved an average of almost five points and rebounds per game.

The wildcats achieved some effective additions from the transfer portal in the off -season, starting with striker Taylor Williams. She played in 24 games for Michigan last season before coming to Evanston, where she is second in the team with 11.8 ppg and leads all wildcats with 9.5 RPG – which is fourth in the conference. Grace Sullivan spent her first two years in Bucknell and an average of 10.2 ppg in her first season in Power Four.

It is no surprise to see Northwestern in the lowest level of most statistical categories of the conference and to achieve the fourth -class points and at the same time enable the second most common points. They also fight from the three-point country, which most recently sits with a team of 28.6. With 66.5%, the wildcast is from the free -wire line to Lass.

In her regular season finale, Nebraska has the entire motivation in the world, while the wildcats are determined to miss any kind of off -season for the fourth season in a row. By lacking skills from the three -point line, the huskers can focus their inside near the post. Give me Nebraska on the street to end the regular season positively.
