Northwestern Athletics
After opening their season with 18 wins in their first 20 contests before sneaking into the NCAA Tournament following some spring struggles, the Northwestern Wildcats’ 2021 campaign has come to a close.
NU’s ‘Cats were sent packing after dropping two against the Tournament’s 14th-overall seed Kentucky, which first bested them 3-2 on Friday. In between their two defeats against UK, Kate Drohan’s team knocked the Miami-Ohio RedHawks out with a 7-1 victory on Saturday afternoon, but lacked the pitching and hitting to keep up with their SEC hosts in an elimination game later that day, falling 7-2.
