Women’s Soccer Recap: Northwestern bests Indiana 2-0
In somewhat of an alternate timeline, Northwestern defeated Indiana in a game of the other football on Sunday. The Wildcats implicated, of course, were on the Northwestern Women’s Soccer team, which defeated the Hoosiers 2-0 at home thanks to a brace by first-year Camryn Freeman. Northwestern and Indiana were even on shots at 11, but […]
Three takeaways from Northwestern’s heart-wrenching loss in Bloomington
The Wildcats almost did it. Entering Indiana University Memorial Stadium as 21-point underdogs, almost nobody was picking the ‘Cats to stun the reigning national champions in their Big Ten home opener. And after a measly first half — where Northwestern’s highly-touted running back room totaled negative yards — anybody that had been in NU’s corner […]
Men’s and Women’s Soccer: Wildcats sweep weekend matches with a pair of 1-0 shutouts

The women beat the visiting Oregon Ducks 1-0 on Thursday, while the men held off Michigan 1-0 on Friday, despite playing nearly an hour a […]

The ’Cats took home third place, with three runners inside the top 24 and all five […]
Despite a frustrating result, Northwestern’s upset bid at Indiana sets new expectations
From the first drive, Northwestern football established a strangely resilient mood on Friday night. The Wildcats started their road bout against Indiana in survival mode, allowing the Hoosiers to reach the one-yard line before getting a fourth-down stop. On the next play, Aidan Chiles dropped a routine snap and got sacked for a safety. From […]
Stock up, stock down for Northwestern’s 29-23 loss against Indiana
Although Northwestern held No. 5 Indiana to just two points through the first quarter, the Wildcats struggled to keep the Hoosiers from catching fire on offense and couldn’t get started soon enough to overtake IU in a 29-23 loss. Aidan Chiles finished with 293 passing yards and three all-purpose touchdowns but couldn’t offset the 472 […]

Aidan Chiles was stellar through the air for the […]

Big Ten Power Rankings: Week 3
Week 3 was relatively quiet for the Big Ten, as the conference’s top teams rested before conference play by facing weaker FCS and Group of Six opponents. However, some teams, like Northwestern in its 41-7 bashing of Colorado, or UCLA in its back-and-forth win over Purdue, made statement wins that put them on the radar. […]
Set Point #5: Onto the Big Ten
And just like that, Northwestern’s non-conference portion of the season is over. There were ups, and there were certainly downs, but the ‘Cats flashed the potential of a dangerous team that can hang with the Big Ten higher-ups. With the first conference game in just a couple of hours, here’s a reflection on the first […]
Sounds Like a Library? — Charlie’s Film Room Week 3
Colorado entered the “****** library” that was Martin Stadium, but left with just seven points. Northwestern put up 41 points and now is 2-0 for the first time ever under David Braun.

Northwestern’s defense […]
Volleyball: NU sweeps Ball State Tournament to end non-conference play
Winners of five of their last six. The Wildcats (7-4) have started to heat up at the perfect time. To finish its non-conference slate, Northwestern volleyball took to Worthen Arena to take on the hosting Ball State Cardinals (9-2) and the visiting IU Indy Jaguars (5-8) in a round-robin last week. NU stayed in control […]
The Low Block, Week Five: Calm Before the Storm
It was always going to be hard to follow up last Friday’s performance against Maryland, and Northwestern Men’s Soccer (4-3-1, 1-1 B1G) split its two games after the historic upset. Considering one of those games was an away trip to a ranked Michigan State Spartans team, I still think it was a good week. This […]
Golf: Chen’s Career-Low 65 and Knai’s Sunday Surge Lead Northwestern Through Mixed Weekend
Northwestern golf wrapped up two tournaments this weekend, with men’s golf traveling to Olympia Fields, Ill., for the Fighting Illini Invitational and women’s golf heading east to Franklin, Tenn., for the Mason Rudolph Championship. The men finished 12th of 15 teams, steadily improving throughout the weekend before senior Jeremy Chen topped it off with a […]

Pitch Perfect, Week 6: Building Something Fresh
As promised, a bit of a more recap-focused article this week to accommodate the team’s lighter schedule. Northwestern is currently sitting in the lower part of the middle segment of the Big Ten, and I do hope it can make the tournament this year. What are the odds? Northwestern Women’s Soccer (3-4-3, 1-1-1 B1G) finally […]
Northwestern sent Martin Stadium out in style

Aidan Chiles accounted for five touchdowns, Joe Himon II caught three touchdown passes, and Northwestern’s […]
Stock up, stock down for Northwestern’s 41-7 victory against Colorado
After a strangely early bye week, Northwestern didn’t miss a beat against Colorado on Saturday, burying the Buffaloes by 34 points, riding Joe Himon II’s three touchdown catches, Aidan Chiles dominance as a dual-threat quarterback, and a takeaway-heavy defense that led to a lopsided win in the last game held at Martin Stadium. Stock Up […]

PURE DOMINATION. Northwestern (2-0) took care of Colorado (2-1) 41-7 in the last-ever game to be played on the lakefill.

Aidan Chiles went 17-of-22 for 241 yards and three […]

NFHCA Top-10 Talk: Week 3
The top-10 in field hockey seems to continue to shape-shift itself into chaos deep into non-conference play. Last week, the dust seemed to settle around what the top half of the polls would be. This week, its clear that we are far from that being the truth. Get ready. These polls look wonky. No. 1 […]
