EVANSTON, Ill. For the second straight season, Northwestern is bound for the Final Four.
The Wildcats defeated Duke 22-10 in an NCAA quarterfinal on Saturday, powered by six goals from senior attacker Lauren Gilbert and five goals from junior attacker Izzy Scane.
Northwestern battled back from a 6-1 deficit just over 11 minutes into the first half to lead 12-8 by halftime. The Wildcats initially struggled against the Blue Devils’ backer defense, dropping passes and misfiring on free-position shots.
Duke was clicking on the offensive side as well, powered by sophomore midfielder Olivia Carner, who scored four of the team’s eight goals during the first half.
