Davuluri pushes for representation SASA fall speaker talks journey since Miss America title By MAIA SPOTO

the daily northwestern @maiaspoto

Nina Davuluri, the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America in 2014, said the judges told her to give up and that “Bollywood” would never win Miss America. But Davuluri was determined to win on her own terms. As the South Asian Students Alliance’s fall speaker, Davuluri told a crowd of around 40 that “it was time” for the organization to embrace diversity at Friday’s keynote and Q&A in Cahn Auditorium. “It’s on us to educate,” Davuluri said. “Unless we’re willing to answer questions about our culture — what we believe in, why we believe in it, and be proud of it — we can’t expect people to learn about it.” Now, Davuluri uses her platform, “Celebrating Diversity through Cultural Competency,” to promote cultural awareness and advance STEM education for women. In 2016, Davuluri toured India with the U.S.

State Department with the goals of advancing diversity and female empowerment. Her social media campaign #CirclesOfUnity facilitates dialogues about cultural inclusion. Davuluri is currently producing a documentary titled “Complexion,” which reveals problems in the skin-lightening industry. Her evolving career as an activist aligns with her passions and fills her with purpose, Davuluri said. However, she initially attended the University of Michigan to pursue medicine, and she said her extended family struggled to understand why she walked away. “The aunties and uncles would come up to me and say, ‘what are you doing for India?’ And I would say, ‘what are you doing for India?’” Davuluri said. “Find something that lights you on fire.” McCormick senior Idrees Kamal said he was inspired by Davuluri’s shift from winning Miss America in 2014 to working with the Obamas to producing a documentary. “My key takeaway is that one’s career trajectory can be really fluid and doesn’t necessarily have to be tied to any one thing,” Kamal said.

Students race in Chicago Marathon Philz Coffee opens Participants reflect on their 26.2 mile runs, highs and lows of experience By SAMMI BOAS

the daily northwestern

On Sunday, more than 45,000 runners gathered in Grant Park to participate in the Chicago Marathon. In its 42nd year, the marathon welcomed runners from more than 100 countries, all 50 states and Northwestern’s campus. McCormick junior Justin Navidzadeh said he signed up for the marathon to challenge himself. Though he wasn’t as motivated to run at the time, Navidzadeh said he wanted to check completing a marathon off of his bucket list and figured now was a good time. “What keeps me running is getting to the starting line and not knowing if I’m going to finish,” Navidzadeh said. “In the summer, when I didn’t have motivation, I was like, ‘If I don’t run today, if I don’t run this week, then am I going to regret it if I don’t end up finishing?’” Shaleahk Wilson signed up for the marathon to

The baristas at Philz Coffee poured their first shots of espresso this weekend as the shop opened its new location at 1030 Davis St. A crowd of residents and Northwestern students welcomed the San Francisco-based coffee shop on Oct. 12. Rob Ertmann, Philz’s chief operating officer, said the company brings something to Evanston’s coffee shop scene that other businesses don’t: human connection. For him, a good conversation and “a touch of humanity” matter more than any cup of joe. “Our mission statement is about bettering people’s days,” said Ertmann. “At the end of the day, we are not a coffee company. We are a people company.” Open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., Philz Coffee serves a variety of light, medium and dark roasts.

Ertmann recommends a cup of Tesora coffee with medium cream for first-time customers since it was founder Phil Jaber’s first blend and took him seven years to perfect. Philz is also well-known for its iced and hot specialty beverages. Ertmann said the shop is “infamous” for its Mint Mojito, an iced coffee beverage with fresh mint and sweet cream. The newest drink on the menu is the Iced Coffee Rosé, which was introduced in April and is the first beverage added in 10 years. Philz Coffee also serves breakfast and lunch items, including avocado and nut butter toast, fresh-made breakfast sandwiches and bowls, as well as muffins, scones and other sweet treats. According to a press release, Philz hopes to highlight local Evanston businesses through its offerings, and has partnerships with Hewn Bread and Defloured: a Gluten Free Bakery in the works.

AROUND TOWN Farmers Market vendors express passion for work By MOLLY LUBBERS

the daily northwestern

Last Saturday, people milling about at the Downtown Evanston Farmers’ Market peered at tables filled with bursts of color — pumpkin orange, chocolate brown, tomato red. Many paused to look closer, burying their hands deeper in their pockets first from the chill, then shelling out cash for cookies, fruit, and more. Located at University Place and Oak Street, the farmers market runs on Saturdays through Nov. 2. For customers, the market begins at 7:30 a.m., but for some vendors, the process starts much earlier. Lyons Fruit Farm, a farm based in South Haven, Michigan, arrived in Evanston at 3:15 a.m. to set up, said Grace Lyons, employee and daughter of the owner of Lyons Fruit Farm. “In the fall, it’s always dark in the morning so we have to have our lamps up,” Lyons said. “This morning it was pretty windy so it was kind of hard with the tents.” Lyons said her family’s farm has been coming to this farmers market for about 30 years. Starting three generations back, the Lyons family started making the drive, which lasts more than two hours. “I think it’s definitely on my dad’s part,” Lyons said. “He likes that when he was a kid he’d come to Evanston with his parents, and then it’s pretty

POLICE BLOTTER Woman arrested for theft at JewelOsco A woman was arrested in connection with a theft early Friday morning at the Jewel-Osco, located at 2485 Howard St. A 43-year-old Jewel employee reported the theft around 2:35 a.m. on Friday after seeing the woman leave with $84 worth of alcohol. The woman took two bottles of bourbon, a bottle of

much just the tradition of coming here.” Other vendors are completely new to the farmers market. Not Just Cookies, a bakery in Chicago, joined the market this year. Founder Johnathon Bush said he’s excited to be at the market and they’ve attracted new customers in Evanston. The bakery sells pies and cookies, adding variety to the food customers can find at the farmers market, Bush said. “We bring lots of smiles to people’s faces,” Bush said. “We’re really baking happiness — that’s our thing — we’re baking happiness because everyone that comes to get cookies and pies, they love it.” Bush started NJC when he was 13 as a hobby because he loved desserts, and then it developed into a full business. He plans to shift the focus of NJC from only selling retail to also adding wholesale. But no matter how much the business grows, he remembers how he started. “I think one of our things that really sets us apart is our story, that I started young with this passion,” Bush said. “So everything we make is with passion and it’s one of a kind.” Bush is also proud NJC is a natural, non-GMO bakery. Other vendors emphasize similar environmental ties; Green Fire Farm, which sells meat and eggs, prides itself on conservation. Jacob Marty, owner of Green Fire Farm, said he grew up on his family’s farm but left to earn a wildlife and ecology degree. He’s a sixth generation wine and a bottle of whiskey. Officers patrolling the area observed a 1998 Chevrolet Blazer that fit the description given by the Jewel employee near the corner of Church Street and Dodge Avenue. The woman sat in the passenger seat and a man drove the car, Evanston police Cmdr. Ryan Glew said. Officers followed the car until it eventually stopped at the 1800 block of Hovland Court. The man in the driver’s seat exited the car and the passenger fled on foot. Police then detained her and took her into custody. The driver had a revoked

farmer and wants to use “sustainable, regenerative types of practices” Marty said he was drawn back to the farm because he realized the worth in a community that really cares, and he wanted to contribute to it again. “At certain times, I didn’t want to be on the farm and didn’t see myself ever coming back to

the farm, and moving on to greener pastures in other parts of the world or the country,” Marty said. “But eventually I learned that there’s a lot to come from the farm and what it can contribute to the community, to my lifestyle, and I really value some of the things it provides for me.”

After driving to the 1700 block of Orrington Avenue, he inspected the car and found that the laptop was missing from a cardboard box in the back seat, Glew said. The man said he most likely left the vehicle unlocked, and police have found no signs of forced entry. Glew said there are currently no suspects, and there is no one in custody.

ON CAMPUS Isaacson shares stories from new book By RYANN PERLSTEIN

the daily northwestern @ryannperlstein

Prof. Melissa Isaacson still remembers her first day at Niles West High School in 1975 and how all she wanted to do was find her place. Isaacson quickly found that place on the girls’ basketball team, which became state champions in 1979 — only seven years after the passage of Title IX, a historic law that banned discrimination in federally funded programs. That team is the subject of her most recent book, titled “State: A Team, a Triumph, a Transformation.” The team also served as the focus for a Friday panel featuring Isaacson’s teammate Connie Erickson Brown (Communication ’84) and Amy Eshleman, wife of Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot and a member of the first-ever Illinois girls’ basketball state championship team. Lightfoot introduced the panelists in the McCormick Foundation Center Forum by sharing the significance of athletics in her life and the lessons she learned from playing sports growing up. “Sports is more than just games,” Lightfoot said. “It really, truly, is about how we live our lives together as a community.” Throughout the panel, one theme that emerged was how the Niles West High School championship team was an example of the community sports can create. However, “State” also documents the obstacles Isaacson’s team had to overcome while navigating the new systems implemented following the passing of Title IX. Isaacson’s book details how players often had to wake up for practice at 4 a.m. — the only time they were allowed into the “boys” gymnasium. At that time, she writes, the women’s team had a separate, much smaller gym than the men’s team. They also had to overcome wearing what Isaacson called “prehistoric” uniforms, which were made out of thick polyester and had been worn by every other women’s team at the school.

Panelists Melissa Isaacson, Connie Erickson Brown and Amy Eshlemen discuss topics in Isaacson’s new book, “State: A Team, a Triumph, a Transformation.” Isaacson’s book was published earlier this year.

“I remember getting those first horrendous uniforms,” Isaacson said. “I thought I was on the Olympic team. I couldn’t have been more excited. I get chills, still, thinking about my first uniform.” Isaacson’s book includes moments of joy and sadness for the players. When Erickson Brown was 10 years old, her 18-year-old sister passed away in a car accident. At the panel, she called the experience a “driving force” for her. “(Sports) became an identity for me, and I knew who I was,” Erickson Brown said. “It was more than just playing a game.” Since writing the book, Isaacson said she has met women a few years older than her who say they could have been great at sports had they been given the opportunity to compete. “We were acutely aware of how lucky we were,”

Isaacson said. “We really knew how special it was.” The other panelists agreed that playing sports was ultimately more than just about winning games. Isaacson said a lifelong role model for her was her coach, Arlene Mulder, who always “demanded excellence” from the team, instilling a strong work ethic in her. Eshleman added that her teammates were always “lifting each other up,” and playing basketball taught her skills beyond physical ability, like cooperation and developing lasting relationships. “I can’t imagine my life without that experience I had in high school of being part of a team,” Eshleman said. “It shaped who I became. It’s absolutely the reason I am who I am. I really, really feel that.” ryannperlstein2023@u.northwestern.edu

Jeff Sessions’ intolerance has no place at Northwestern ALEXANDRA CHANG

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Last week, Northwestern University College Republicans announced their fall speaker: Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III. While Sessions has held many notable positions in politics and government, he is largely known for his tenure as the Attorney General of the United States under President Donald Trump. Because of his career-long history of intolerance and bigotry, I strongly oppose Sessions’ upcoming lecture at Northwestern. Not only did he actively target the reproductive rights of women, he was also a strong opponent of same-sex marriage and voted against the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” banning

LGBTQ people from serving in the military. Furthermore, Sessions has made racist remarks and voiced his approval of the Klu Klux Klan on multiple instances. As Attorney General, Sessions has systematically targeted rights for transgender people. In 2017, he revoked a 2016 joint guidance made by the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice that mandated civil rights protections for transgender students under Title IX. Additionally, Sessions actively used his powers to separate families and incite fear in undocumented immigrants. He supported adding a citizenship question on the 2020 Census. Sessions also supported Trump’s attempt to end the DACA program by executive action and made it nearly impossible for immigrants to claim asylum based on “‘domestic violence or gang violence perpetrated by nongovernmental actors.’” These views should not be tolerated, let alone invited to this campus. I am strongly in favor of

inviting academic speakers who can provide an underrepresented perspective, especially because institutions of higher education can often be homogenous in thought. However, it is unjust to fund a speaker whose presence threatens the identities of a significant portion of our student body. Many Northwestern students are undocumented, a part of the LGBTQ community or otherwise identify with an identity that Sessions has oppressed through his legislation. With today’s political climate, it is difficult to disassociate conservative political thought from racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and general intolerance. Nevertheless, it is possible to host a Republican speaker who has not spent their career directly targeting the identities present at this institution. Doing so would contribute to diversity and incite healthy debate across campus. I hope that Northwestern University College Republicans would aim to further intellectual conversation and debate, rather than

to actively make minority populations feel unsafe. Not only did Northwestern University College Republicans cast a blind eye to Sessions’ record when extending this invitation, they have also endorsed his policies by financially backing a message that will directly influence our student body. We should not be giving a platform to any kind of systemic intolerance on this campus. I highly encourage students who do not agree with his views to protest the event. Already, students are organizing a demonstration during his November 5 lecture to express that his policies, beliefs and values are unwelcome on this campus. Alexandra Chang is a Weinberg sophomore.

Don’t use lockout fees to teach students responsibility GRANT LI

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Recently, Northwestern implemented a policy where multiple lockouts will result in a $10 charge, and an additional $25 if the temporary card is not returned within 24 hours. In 2012, the University attempted a similar policy of monetarily punitive measures where the third lockout would result in a $200 charge. Both of the protocols were also marked by a lack of publicity, leaving most students unaware. The $10 fee is misguided on every level. The implementation of the fee implicitly suggests that with it, lockouts will decrease and students will learn to be more responsible. Without it, students won’t care as much and lockouts will soar. That view fails

to realize that lockouts are already a serious annoyance even without the fee. Only a week ago, my neighbor put just a little too much wind into moving the door and accidentally locked himself out. It was nighttime and raining hard outside — needless to say, he regretted having to make the trip to the RA desk. Right now, I’m already paying more than $3,920 per quarter for my single in Foster-Walker, on the high end of Northwestern housing rates. Under the two-year on-campus residency requirement, I had no choice but to live on campus. Due to overcrowding of dorms, caused in part by two-year requirement, this was the cheapest room available. Now, there are 82 days in the quarter from September 24 to December 14. That means that the per day rent is $47.80. If we generalize a month to 30 days, that’s about $1,434.15 per month. All that so we can have a hundred square feet or so. Meanwhile, I could get a 2 bed, 1 bath 700-900 square foot apartment in CLK Evanston for about the same price, but split

between roommates and with much more space. For such a high price that we cannot avoid paying, what are we getting? The large numbers I see on my invoice are more than sufficient to teach me responsibility. Asking for a little leniency is not much. No employees are inconvenienced — I’ve gotten locked out once so far and the only person I bothered was the student paid to be at the desk at Willard. All they have to do is activate a temp card, and we can both go on with our days. Even the most responsible of us will forget their Wildcard on occasion, particularly first-years getting adjusted to taking their cards with them to go to the bathroom. I’m willing to bet that there’s a base rate of forgetfulness that happens when a neuron misfires on a blue moon. Especially as students, there’s a lot going through our heads at once, and forgetting your Wildcard once or twice is practically inevitable. Sure, students should be more responsible. There’s no disputing that, but there are better ways

of doing this. I transferred from another school, where they encouraged students to download the CBORD Mobile ID app, which allows locked out students to swipe their door open from their phones. The system runs through the CBORD CS Gold campus card system, which I suspect Northwestern does not use. Regardless, Northwestern has enormous resources, and I don’t think it would take too much more than simply an earnest effort for the university to put a similar system in place. It would be to the benefit of everyone: fewer security issues with temp cards floating around campus, unbothered housing staff and happier students. Grant Li is a Weinberg sophomore.

Billie Eilish’s ‘emo’ brand romanticizes serious mental illness NOELANI BUONOMO

OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR

Every generation has its own version of a social counterculture: a group of teenagers and young adults that embody angst, oppose the establishment and embrace the label “outcast.” Wearing their status as misfits proudly, these groups have historically created a large market for music and media dealing with serious, deeply emotional and sometimes violent topics. Whether you call it punk, emo or goth, there’s one thing all these groups have in common: smudged eyeliner. I’m kidding. Poorly applied eyeliner aside, there remains a vast group whose preferred aesthetic centers around unsettling, disturbing and melancholy imagery. Why exactly is this? Is it merely a product of teenage angst, of a rebellious phase that all young adults are bound to go through? Or could it be a result of the increasing tendency for mainstream entertainment to glorify and romanticize depression, suicide and anxiety? Through the past two decades, there has been

a growing fanbase for unconventional artists, especially those who would typically be classified as “emo.” When bands such as My Chemical Romance, Panic! At The Disco and Pierce The Veil rose to fame in the early 2000s, teens gravitated toward music dealing with serious topics such as depression, self-harm and suicide. Although fans claimed these artists opened a dialogue around mental illnesses, others argued that the lyrics these artists wrote glorified unhealthy thoughts and behaviors by glamorizing symptoms of mental illness. Their concerns seemed valid as artists like Mark Foster crooned over loudspeakers, “all the other kids… better run, better run, outrun my gun” in Foster the People’s hit song, “Pumped up Kicks,” referring to gun violence. These lyrics seem to glamorize and trivialize serious mental health problems. There is grave danger in this romanticization, as it can overshadow people actually struggling with mental illness and create a false impression of how serious these problems can be. Not only did the lyrics raise eyebrows due to their discussion of disturbing topics, but artists created controversy with the visual content of blood, violence and death. As the 2010s began, a growing number of artists began to capitalize off of this image, including teenage alternative singer

Billie Eilish. Clad in chains, oversized sweatshirts and a gloomy expression, Eilish seems to be an amalgam of every angsty teenager in America. Her lyrics are equally questionable as those found in early 2000s “emo” music. In one song, she drones, “the way I wear my noose, like a necklace.” In her music videos, where she is depicted with jet-black tears flowing from her eyes and spiders crawling from her mouth, the disturbing imagery goes even further. Is Billie Eilish a cause or a symptom of the growing romanticism of serious diseases such as depression and anxiety? Or is she a 17-year-old girl profiting off the impressionability of other young teens? Either way, the popularity of her music and her vast fanbase is a grave indicator of this generation’s tendency to romanticize mental health problems. This glorification of depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts can prompt fans to emulate the artists that they admire. The portrayal of depression as hauntingly beautiful or suicide as poetically tragic is dangerous because it encourages impressionable teens to desire these grave illnesses. The growing number of fans claiming to be depressed or anxious in an attempt to emulate their idols poses a grave threat for those truly

struggling with mental health to be recognized. While Eilish claims to advocate for those with mental illness, she has made virtually no concrete contributions. It strikes me as odd that someone who claims to be heavily invested in providing aid to struggling individuals has made not so much as a single donation to relief organizations. I’m not innocent — I’ve contributed to these artists’ fanbase in the past. I still can’t help but cringe when looking at photos of myself at 14, clad in black combat boots and sloppy makeup. However, after seeing friends and family struggle with their own mental health, I suspect that these artists fail to convey a true reflection of the struggles of depression. It felt wrong and disrespectful to continue supporting them. For those who truly wish to advocate for mental health, maybe it’s time to ditch the eyeliner and get involved in more effective ways.

Starting with a team of two people in 2017, Loew cultivated a team of 30 people interested in supporting and working for the center. Jennifer Michals, program assistant for the Center for Native American and Indigenous Research, will help develop curriculum material based on the walking tour. “I’m really excited about this project because it gives Native voice to the special places here on campus,” Michals said. One of the sites on the tour is Welsh Ryan Arena because the wood for the new basketball court came from the Menominee Forest, decoration of their Evanston space. Pops of purple represent the Northwestern community, and a mural by Chicago artist Kelsey Dalton McClellan depicts the Philz branding. Different seating arrangements — like a communal table and laidback couch area — promote togetherness. While it has only been open for a few days, Philz Coffee has quickly gotten approval from selfproclaimed coffee-lovers like Weinberg sophomore Sarah Genelly. She had been to Philz Wicker Park location, and was “motivated” to visit Evanston’s shop since she enjoyed her first experience. During her visit to Philz’s new storefront, Genelly said she was greeted by friendly baristas, which only added to the overall atmosphere. “Philz is a pretty homie coffee shop while still being very modern,” Genelly said. “It definitely adds to Evanston, and I’ll be going back for sure.” zoemalin2022@u.northwestern.edu

which Loew said has one of the most sustainable foresting practices in the world. The tour also discusses the Treaty of Chicago and a 1903 football game between Northwestern and the Carlisle Indian School. Medill junior Carlyn Kranking, who took Loew’s Medill class last winter, received the opportunity to work with her classmates to create media for the walking tour. Kranking and other students were assigned to different locations within the tour, so Loew could include a selection of their final projects in the tour. “This class made me a lot more conscious of the history and the importance of the land we are on,” Kranking said. “I hope that it will do the same for other people because there is this dark history to Northwestern.”

As Northwestern becomes more pluralistic, Loew said she feels these resources will enhance students’ ability to learn about their community and the world around them. Loew said the university has set aside funding to start a space for Indigenous students, create a budget to hire staff and to fund fellowships for students and faculty. She said she looks forward to the impact the tour will have on the Northwestern community and feels supported by the university as a whole. “I think having something that elevates the visibility of Native peoples in Evanston is cause for celebration,” Loew said. “I hope the campus in general feels that way as well.”

MARATHON

“Boston was for fun — Boston was to prove that I could do it,” Olumi said. “Chicago’s to prove that I can do it the best that I can, putting everything into it.” Olumi finished with a time of 3:27:31, placing him 6652nd overall and 16th for his age group. Navidzadeh finished with a time of 3:32:25, placing him in the 7000s overall and 210th for his age group. Wilson placed 452th in his age group and around 20640 overall with a time of 4:14:21, finishing 15 minutes under his goal. Despite the challenges of running in and training for a marathon, Olumi said that all the hardship is worth it. “The typical thing of marathoners is that during the course, you hate what you’re doing to your body and your mind is telling you no and saying “Why are you doing this?’” Olumi said. “But then, the high you get at the end is so high that you forget all the pain and just want that high again.”

great opportunity.” Wilson’s mindset shifted during his marathon training when he got IT band tendonitis in his left leg in June. He was on pace to run the marathon in 3 hours and 30 minutes before the injury, but had to modify his goal to completing the run in 4 hours and 30 minutes. Wilson said that his knee would become inflamed and would make it harder to run a mile. He said the injury has lingered a bit and made it a bigger challenge to finish the marathon. Weinberg sophomore Shayan Olumi also experienced an injury while training for the Boston Marathon, but took preventative measures when training for this year’s Chicago Marathon by training further in advance. Olumi said the Boston Marathon training process was “tough,” but when he volunteered at the Chicago Marathon in 2018, he was inspired again to train for 2019’s Chicago Marathon.

She discussed how as a child, she tried to fit in with the white majority and was relieved when people told her she seemed “white on the inside.” But when she joined the Indian Student Association at the University of Michigan, she “found a home” in a huge community that she didn’t know existed.

But she is more than a “well-renowned public figure”— what sets her apart is her drive to enact global change, Rathore said. ` Although Davuluri said she is happy to promote diversity, she is cautious of standing in for the entire subcontinent. “At the end of the day, I would always say ‘I’m not the mouthpiece for everyone,’” Davuluri said. “There are people who have different views than me, different standpoints than me— we’re all people, and we all have things to say. While I’m glad that I enabled a piece of it, I’m not all of it.” maiaspoto2023@u.northwestern.edu

A GOOD KNIGHT

No. 8 Northwestern takes down No. 19 Rutgers in Piscataway No. 8 Northwestern

By GABRIELA CARROLL

the daily northwestern @gablcarroll

After Friday’s overtime loss to Penn State, it seemed No. 8 Northwestern’s season was on the verge of taking a turn for the worst. Sunday, the Wildcats reversed the narrative in a 4-1 win over No. 19 Rutgers. In NU’s (11-5, 4-2 Big Ten) last two games prior to Sunday, the opposing team scored first. But against the hosting Scarlet Knights (6-6, 1-3 Big Ten), the Cats was able to set the tone by scoring early and keeping an aggressive forward press into the fourth quarter. Freshman forward Bente Baekers scored the first goal Sunday on a straight shot from the top on a penalty corner at the end of the first quarter. After the Scarlet Knights tied it up with a penalty corner goal of their own in the second quarter, NU continued its aggressive offensive press. Later in the second quarter, sophomore midfielder Shannon Daley took advantage of a self-start opportunity and made a quick pass to senior

midfielder Saar de Breij, who chipped the ball over the head of the Rutgers goalkeeper Gianna Glatz. For the rest of the game, the Cats never relinquished their lead. Sophomore midfielder Maren Seidel scored the third goal, which changed the tone of the day. Rutgers averages 1.58 goals per game, so the two-goal lead gave NUa massive advantage. “I thought at halftime that we were tied. I was wrong. I even saw the scoreboard and I thought it was wrong,” Seidel said. “I was really excited when I scored because I thought it was 3-2 instead of 3-1. I was playing with the mindset that we had to score.” The Cats outshot Rutgers 14-10, and had six penalty corner attempts compared to the Scarlet Knights’ three corners, of which they converted one for their only goal of the game. Baekers tacked on a penalty stroke

in the final minutes to add to her 19 goals this season. For the first time in five games, NU did not have to play in overtime, and coach Tracey Fuchs believed the extra periods in previous games led to some team fatigue. After a scoreless first half Friday, the Nittany Lions scored early in the second half, but the Cats scored two consecutive goals to take a 2-1 lead. The lead held until the middle of the fourth quarter, but the Nittany Lions tied it up after a NU penalty left them one player short. Penn State went on to win 3-2 in double overtime. Friday’s loss to Penn State changed the scope of Sunday’s game. NU dropped to 3-2 in conference play, making Sunday’s game against Rutgers a must-win in order to preserve their third place seeding. “We played a good game on Friday, but to bounce back, it just shows the resilience of our team,” Fuchs said. “We’ll never give up, we’ll just keep on fighting, and you just never know what’s going to happen in the Big Ten.” Daily file photo by Alison Albelda

NU splits 2 games this weekend Wildcats fall to Penn State in heartbreaker

By GRAYSON WELO

the daily northwestern @graysonwelo

Within the first six minutes of Sunday’s game, Northwestern had taken two shots against Michigan, and the crowd’s high energy reflected the Wildcats new, aggressive offense. It didn’t last long, and by overtime, NU could have used some of its firsthalf energy. After a comeback 2-1 win against Michigan State on Friday night, the Cats (5-7-2, 3-3-1 Big Ten) lost to the first-place Wolverines (11-3-1, 6-1-1) in overtime 2-1 on Sunday. At the start, NU looked strong and composed on the ball, but freshman midfielder Lily Gilbertson said that they could not capitalize on their chances. “We were a lot more dangerous and we had a lot more opportunities but obviously we didn’t finish on as many as we would’ve liked to,” Gilberston said. “But I think it was big for us to finally start attacking with a lot more confidence and strength going forward.” The Cats controlled possession early against a fast opposing team, and Gilbertson and freshman outside back Marianna Annest both had early shooting chances that almost gave NU an early lead. Offensive momentum slowed as the game wore on and became a battle of possession between the two teams. Nobody scored until the 89th minute when Michigan midfielder Nicki Hernandez headed the ball into the back of the net off a corner kick. Despite the disheartening lastminute goal, the ball was quickly sent into the box where the Cats drew a penalty kick off a Wolverines handball, and junior forward Mikayla Hampton converted from the spot to send the game into overtime. The Cats did not get any shots off in overtime, while Michigan had multiple chances. Meredith Haakenson scored the game-winning goal for Michigan off a through ball that

split the NU defensive line in the 98th minute. “They were able to build out well from their outside back into the midfield,” Annest said. “We didn’t have adequate pressure. They got a ball in and that same slashing run was able to beat us. I think we needed to be a little tighter and compact in the backline.” On Friday, graduate midfielder Olivia Korhonen gave NU a 2-1 win over the Spartans (8-6-1, 1-5-1 ). Korhonen scored a header in the top right corner of the net off a cross from sophomore forward Olivia Stone. Earlier in the game, Gilberston scored an equalizer in the 14th minute. With four regular season games left, the Wildcats fell to seventh in

the conference standings with the loss. Coach Michael Moynihan said the team could have used more practice in the lead up to this weekend’s doubleheader, but the players had to save their energy. Instead, he said he spent more time focusing on the players’ mentality during the week and was impressed by their execution for most of the two games. “I told the girls we just played the (first) place team right now — maybe the best team — in the Big Ten and played them very well,” Moynihan said. “If we can keep doing that and building one performance to the next, I think we’ll be in good shape as we come down the stretch.” graysonwelo2023@u.northwestern.edu

It looked like Northwestern was headed toward its second draw of the season. But Penn State had other plans. In the 98th minute, junior goalie Miha Miskovic blocked a shot from Nittany Lions’ midfielder Aaron Molloy with a diving save. But the ball deflected back into the box where Pritchatt’s teammate, Liam Butts, fired off a rebound. Miskovic, still on the ground, stuck out his leg in an attempt to save the shot, but the ball rocketed past him as Butts handed Penn State (6-2-2, 3-1-1 Big Ten) a 3-2 overtime victory over the Wildcats (5-7-1, 1-3-1 Big Ten). “We gave everything we have. Our guys were warriors out there today,” coach Tim Lenahan said. “If the soccer gods were with us a little bit, we’d come away with at least a point there.” NU’s loss to the Nittany Lions is their third straight in Big Ten play. The squad has fallen to eighth place in the Big Ten and hasn’t won a conference matchup since Sep. 20. In the first half, the Cats blocked shots and played aggressive defense, holding Penn State scoreless, despite playing most of the half a man down. In the 17th minute, sophomore defenseman Julian Zighelboim tackled Butts while the latter was on a fast break. Zighelboim received a red card and forced NU to play shorthanded for the second straight game. Despite taking only two shots to the Nittany Lions’ nine in the first 45 minutes, the Cats were the team that broke the tie. In the 49th minute, senior midfielder Matt Moderwell collected a loose ball between four defenders, dribbled, and fired a shot with his left foot. The ball curved to the right and bounced past diving Penn State goalie Joshua Levine to give NU a 1-0 lead. The Nittany Lions responded quickly. In the 56th minute, Penn State midfielder Callum Pritchatt received a long pass from defenseman Will Campbell and fired a shot. Miskovic’s outstretched hands

barely missed the ball as it rolled into the goal and knotted the game at one apiece. Nearly five minutes later, Butts fired a rocket into the top right corner of the net to make it a 2-1 game. After giving up the second goal, Lenahan kept changing the squad’s formation to maximize their offensive potency. “There’s an incrementalism to go at the 20-minute mark,” he said. “We start at a 4-3-2 because, again, we’re short one guy. Then, with 15 minutes left, we’re in a 3-22-2. With five minutes left… you’re in a 3-1-2-3. You gotta push numbers forward.” The strategy eventually worked in NU’s favor. In the 85th minute, sophomore midfielder Mattias Tomasino tied the game at two by nailing a free kick goal from 35 yards out. In the loss, the Cats were outshot for the fourth game in a row, as the Nittany Lions took 20 more shots than NU. NU was without three players. Sophomore midfielder Bardia Kimiavi didn’t play for a fourth straight game because of an injury and senior forward Ty Seager couldn’t participate because of his red card from the Cats’ loss to Loyola. Senior defender Andrew McLeod was out with an injury. Before facing Rutgers next Sunday, NU will play an exhibition game Monday against Div. III Aurora University. Lenahan said the match will mainly feature redshirts and reserves. He said the game is a great way to strengthen the bond of the team. “The other guys that played lots of minutes tonight… will not play, but they’ll be there on the bench supporting that group,” he said. “And I think that’s important for the team… that group to support the guys that have been supporting them all year.” drewschott2023@u.northwestern.edu
