Northwestern's Momentum
The decisive goals arrived in the third quarter, when Ashley Sessa and Ilse Tromp each slipped the ball past the Eagles' defense, extending the Wildcats' lead and sealing the 2-0 result.
Juliana Boon was flawless in goal, recording three saves in the opening half and earning her third shutout in four outings, a performance that kept Boston College scoreless and highlighted the depth of Northwestern's defensive unit.
