Students protest debt in Chicago NU student organization joins higher education protest downtown
By ALLIE GOULDING
the daily northwestern @alliejennaaa
In collaboration with two Chicago-based grassroots organizations, Northwestern students participated in a protest Monday against overwhelming student debt and the availability of resources for students of color and from low-income backgrounds. The protest in downtown Chicago was organized by The People’s Lobby and Fair Economy Illinois, groups who organize support for public policies and candidates that aim to lessen the power of large corporations.The organizations
are affiliated with numerous student groups at universities in Chicago, where they organize trainings with university chapters to help them recruit interested students. Most of the protesters, who started at the Congress Plaza Hotel and moved south toward the Art Institute of Chicago, were students from universities across the city. Some participating NU students attended as members of Student Action NU, a group formed this year for students to organize around social justice issues with an intersectional perspective. Scott Brown, a co-founder of Student Action NU who helped organize Monday’s
protest, said he wanted to raise awareness about the impact of student debt as well as funding for higher education in Illinois. “Northwestern students care a lot about social justice and want to change a lot of the problems they see in this world, and I think that organizing is a really powerful way to do that,” the Medill senior said. “It’s not just about protesting, but also building relationships, campaigns and gaining power, so you can influence change and make the world the one you want to see.” The protest, called “Shut it Down for Higher Education,” was part of Moral Mondays
Illinois, a monthly protest series by Fair Economy Illinois that aims to bring attention to prevalent issues in the state. This was the first one led by students, said Gabby Koones, a Moral Mondays media liaison. “These protests are saying we want to bring awareness to these issues in Illinois, and we try to do them in downtown Chicago,” Koones said. “It has a big impact on the streets and daily lives of everyone, so they can see what’s going on.” Protestors were demonstrating in favor of a state bill that would allow undocumented students to receive » See PROTEST, page 6
The city is planning on testing water in 40 south Evanston homes and 20 other sites as part of an ongoing look at water quality in the city. In response to the discovery of black crust in and near water lines in south Evanston last year, city officials tested the water around James Park. Two compounds that were found in the water, phenanthrene and fluoranthene, are both constituents of coal tar and are harmful in larger concentrations than found in Evanston water. The city has done three rounds of testing so far in Evanston, said Kimberly Richardson, assistant to the city manager. This round of testing includes 15 sites that previously have been tested and 40 residential sites requested by residents, as well as one site in each ward. Richardson said the city was trying to be as transparent as possible with the water testing. “ There were residents who filed some concerns, who wanted to have their (water) tested,” she said. “ The city … believes that the water is safe and that the results will be significantly below the potable water standards.” The city has refiled a
lawsuit against ComEd, an electric utility company, and Nicor, a natural gas distributor, this May over materials found in water pipes. In 2015, the city found black crust inside of a Dodge Avenue waterline, that is believed to be the same material as coal tar found at the Skokie Manufactured Gas Plant Site, which is just west of the city on Oakton Street and McCormick Boulevard. The city believes the materials, which are not harmful at the levels found in Evanston water, were brought to the area by gas lines last used in the mid20th century. The lawsuit was refiled in May after an independent testing laboratory confirmed coal tar in places on water lines around James Park. In south Evanston water both chemicals were found in concentrations 99.9 percent below the amount that exceeds the Environmental Protection Agency’s maximum contaminant level. The concentrations also passed potable water standards set by the Illinois EPA. Leo Sherman, who is involved in James Park Neighbors, a citizens group that formed to address concerns about the water quality, said he welcomes the water testing. “We needed to test actual people that drink the water in a lower-volume type situation like homes,” he said. Sherman said he has had his water tested by the city » See TESTING, page 6

Aldermen unanimously approved Monday a $150,000 settlement agreement in a civil rights suit brought against the city in 2014. The plaintiff, Michigan resident Sean Rattray, sued the city and other defendants following an incident involving police officers that occurred in Evanston on Nov. 9, 2012, according to council documents. He additionally brought claims of excessive force, false arrest and malicious prosecution against the individual officers involved in the situation, according to a
legal memorandum. The settlement approved by the city gives Rattray $150,000 from the city’s Insurance Fund and ensures the prejudice claims brought by Rattray against all defendants will be dismissed once the payment has been received. The agreement is not an admission of liability by the city, according to council documents. “The city of Evanston takes claims of these sorts very seriously and wanted on the one hand to be fair to the taxpayers of Evanston as well as fair to the individual involved, and sometimes that takes time,” city manager Wally » See LAWSUIT, page 6

Northwestern is still searching for a way to accommodate its planned two-year live-in requirement slated to go into effect next year, after Evanston residents voiced concern about University plans to build taller than a city ordinance allows. Administrators have been in conversation with Evanston about expanding the residential hall at 1835 Hinman Ave., after John D’Angelo, vice president of facilities management, said the dorm must be taller in order to have enough beds to make the plan viable. The proposed height of 85 feet would require a zoning variance, which must be approved by the city, as it exceeds 45 feet. Mark Muenzer, Evanston’s

variance — whether it be in height or setbacks — will have to be achieved no matter what. “The (zoning) code is written in a very, very general sense,” D’Angelo said. “It does have provisions in it because it understands that there are a lot of projects that are going to require a variance.” The live-in requirement will require all first- and second-year students to live on campus. University President Morton Schapiro said one goal of the plan seems to be creating “the kind of inclusive community we dream about.” At a Northwestern UniversityCity Committee meeting last month, a resident criticized the proposal, saying she feared the University encroaching too much on the surrounding neighborhood.

AROUND TOWN Council urges changes to Dodge Avenue bike lanes By MAX GELMAN
daily senior staffer @maxgelman
Alderman moved Monday evening to restructure newly-added bike lanes on Dodge Avenue, expanding bus drop-off zones and increased visibility at crossstreet intersections. Following uproar over the bike lanes, which were built this summer, aldermen raised concerns at the Sept. 12 council meeting about problems with lanes, including buses blocking traffic when loading passengers and poor visibility for cars turning onto Dodge Avenue. City staff will determine whether or not the changes can be implemented within 30 days, before the weather turns colder. If they are unable to do so, the plan will go forward in the spring, city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said. “We have to get a contractor to come out before it freezes,” Bobkiewicz told The Daily. “The question is, will we be able to do that? We should see frost by Dec. 1, so if we can get it done in 30 days we will try to.” Lara Biggs, the city’s engineering and capital planning bureau chief, presented to the council an analysis of parking, bike lane and traffic flow improvements on Dodge Avenue following the construction of the bike lanes. To determine whether or not to implement the bike lane improvements, city officials studied how many
POLICE BLOTTER Hundreds of dollars stolen from restaurant
A man broke a glass door and stole $300 in cash from a restaurant at about 4 a.m. Sunday, police said. An employee at El Pueblito Mexican Grill No. 2, 1805 Howard St., reported to police at about 7:45 a.m. Sunday that the front glass door was broken, said Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan. The owner also reported that the cash was missing, Dugan said. The suspect broke the front door with a large
parking spots would be lost if bus drop-off zones and “visibility zones” were to be added. According to the results of the study, 11 parking spots would be lost to the bus drop-off zones, while 13 spots would be lost to the “visibility zones.” All intersections on Dodge Avenue from Lake Street to Howard Street were examined as part of the study. About 20 people showed up to voice opinions on the proposal, including Evanston residents, current and former CTA supervisors and Northwestern Associated Student Government representatives. One public comment that drew some support from council members suggested eliminating a bike lane on one side of the road, leaving only one lane for bikers traveling southbound on Dodge Avenue. Ald. Ann Rainey (8th), who has called the plan a failure in previous council meetings, and Ald. Brian Miller (9th) agreed with the idea. “I believe the cyclists are safer in these bike lanes; I truly believe that,” Rainey said. “What I don’t believe is that the motorists are (safe), and I don’t think that there is a balance.“ Miller asked Biggs to look into potential funding for the removal of one of the bike lanes on Dodge Avenue, similar to bike lanes on streets such as Church Street and Davis Street. However, Ald. Donald Wilson (4th) and Ald. Melissa Wynne (3rd) disagreed with the proposal put forward by the uncommon coalition of Rainey and Miller. Wilson, who is recreational cyclist, said having

Man arrested in connection with public intoxication
An Evanston resident was charged Sunday with public intoxication after he allegedly yelled at two men, police said. One of the men said the suspect yelled and cursed at at him while he worked on his car, Dugan said. The men also said the suspect clenched his fists close to his face. When officers went to look for the

a bike lane on just one side of the road “doesn’t make any sense,” as it might invite bikers to go both directions on a one-way lane or push bikers onto sidewalks. Wynne’s main problem with the proposed bus drop-off zones concerned emergency vehicles causing cars to pull over into the zones. She suggested the city ask the Northwestern University Transportation Center, which “aims to influence national and international transportation policy,” to assist in computer suspect, he was allegedly pushing a different male subject, Dugan said. The man who was pushed said the suspect was demanding money. The first man said he rents a parking space from the suspect, while the second man said he rents an apartment from him. Police said the suspect had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol, and he interacted with police in an “agitated manner,” Dugan said.
modeling of such situations after Biggs said Evanston did not have modeling capabilities itself. “I’m sure this would not be hard to model for them,” Wynne said. “If we can actually do some computer modeling, we’re not operating on anecdote anymore; we’re actually looking at fact and figuring out whether these are the right solutions to solve the problem.” maxgelman2018@u.northwestern.edu

ON CAMPUS Collins, Adande talk hoops history By JONAH DYLAN
the daily northwestern @thejonahdylan
Sports media met sports history when new Medill director of sports journalism and longtime ESPN.com columnist J.A. Adande held a Q&A with former NBA coach and current ESPN analyst Doug Collins on campus Monday night. Collins — whose son Chris is the men’s basketball coach at Northwestern — addressed questions about coaching Michael Jordan, analyzing basketball and various other components of his coaching career in front of a full house at the McCormick Tribune Center. “Michael Jordan is the greatest player in history, ever,” Collins said while discussing his experience coaching Jordan. The star played on Collins-coached teams from 1986 to 1989 while on the Bulls as well as with the Washington Wizards from 2001 to 2003. Adande also showed short clips of basketball games for Collins to discuss. One clip was of “The Shot” — one of Jordan’s most famous plays and game-winning shots — from the 1989 Eastern Conference playoffs against the Cleveland Cavaliers, during which Collins was coaching the Bulls. “There is a point for every franchise where there is a breakthrough moment,” Collins said. “Winning Game 5 in ’89 versus the Cavs was that moment.” Adande asked Collins to walk the audience through Jordan’s game-winning shot against the Utah Jazz in Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals. Collins said Bulls forward Scottie Pippen, playing with an injured back, ran down the court to draw a defender away from the middle of the court, allowing Jordan to make one of the most famous shots in NBA history. The sequence was played twice, and Collins encouraged the audience to play close attention to details. He said without Pippen’s
presence on the wing, though it seemed trivial at first, Jordan may not have had the space to make the shot. In addition to game analysis, Adande and Collins also discussed the importance of statistics. “To what extent do statistics tell ‘the story?’” Adande asked. Collins applied his basketball knowledge to the upcoming NBA season, adding that Houston Rockets guard James Harden could win the NBA MVP this season because of the scoring uptick he sees in Coach Mike D’Antoni’s coaching system. “If you’re in a fantasy league, grab him quickly,” Collins said. D’Antoni is known for the “seven seconds
or less” offensive strategy, where his team tries to get a shot off in the first seven seconds of the shot clock. Weinberg sophomore Blake Maier, who was at the event, said Collins’ strength is knowing how to use the skills of his players. “He knows that you can’t teach talent, so he talked about how his game plan revolved around who his best players were and making sure they had the ball when the time was necessary,” Maier said. Collins concluded by discussing the influence basketball has had on his life. “Basketball has not been a game to me,” Collins said. “It’s been my life.” jonahdylan2020@u.northwestern.edu

Considering diversity in theater as an audience member RUBY PHILLIPS
OP-ED CONTRIBUTOR
Growing up in New York City and now living on south campus at Northwestern, I have been surrounded by the theater community nearly my whole life. Despite the fact that I plan to major in political science, almost all of my friends at NU are theater majors. Constant conversations with these friends about inequality and representation opened my eyes to how differently my white and non-white friends experienced their first quarter here, and I began to realize the extent of our theater program’s lack of diversity. NU’s campus as a whole is also clearly in need of a more diverse population. This issue was further brought to light by the recently released Black Student Experience Report, which illuminated the frustration and dissatisfaction of black students on campus. I went to a predominantly white high school and am half-white myself, so the idea of navigating NU as a minority has never fazed me much. But the importance of greater diversity is heightened in the theater program — a place where students have the power to determine and shape whose stories are told on stage. The fact remains that the largely-white theater department and its students must do what they can to make the environment more inclusive. I can only imagine how discouraging and alienating it might feel to look around the classroom and stage to see a vision that is “alarmingly white,” as Communication freshman Dora Grossman-Weir put it while speaking about her Theatre in Context class, a required course for theater majors. This problem is not just within classrooms; casting and show selection are also affected by the lack of diversity. Grace Dolezal-Ng, a biracial theater major who is half Chinese-American and half white, told me she hopes to direct a one act play this winter centering around Asian-Americans but doesn’t know if she will have enough people to actually cast such a show.
“
The importance of greater diversity is heightened in the theater program — a place where students have the power to determine and shape whose stories are told on stage. It would be hard to ignore the massive resurgence of focus on diversity in the national theater world. Shows such as “Hamilton” and “The Color Purple” provide budding actors with incredibly talented

theatrical icons of color. How, then, will the NU theater community reflect this shift on Broadway if it lacks people of color to help tell stories on this campus? To me, theater is all about telling creative and impactful narratives. Almost every theater major I have talked to on campus expresses interest and passion for telling progressive and sociallyaware stories. Interest in social justice might not be lacking on our campus, but actors of color who can speak to experiences of injustice are. The student theater organization Lovers and Madmen plans to put up “White Snake” for the upcoming winter season. The show, written by a NU professor, reimagines the story of an ancient Chinese myth. Professional productions of the play typically have majority Chinese casts. However, producing the show in NU’s theater scene presents the risk of there not being enough Chinese Americans to cast. Casting white actors in roles outlined for people of color negates the importance of representation –– actors

of color must tell their own stories and experiences. The idea of putting on “White Snake” this winter seems appealing, if the goal is to diversify the play selection in the NU theater community. But without the means to create a racially-diverse cast, the choice isn’t necessarily helpful. If minority theater majors are made to feel they are only called back for certain roles because of their race or that their race might limit their ability to be cast for other period-specific pieces, the theater department will become an even lessinclusive space. As an institution that claims to prides itself on diversity and acceptance, NU should be making it possible for theater groups to stage narratives that challenge racial and social norms. There are certainly theater groups on campus, such as Spectrum, that are working hard to tell stories of social justice. R&J, this fall’s mainstage show by WAVE, explores heteronormativity and queer love through the lens of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”
BY ELI SUGERMAN
There have also been several efforts to bring awareness to social justice issues through theater classes, such as TAs showing a pie chart representing what percentage of the plays read in class are written by white men. This is not enough. NU’s theater department should expand its education about the misrepresentation of people of color in media and the history of racial disparity in theater and then actually proceed to include more students of color. It should engage with the greater NU community which has far more black students than the theater department. To have one of the best undergraduate drama schools in the country requires we hold ourselves to a higher standard of inclusivity. Ruby Phillips is a Weinberg freshman.

McCormick freshman Savanna Ruiz said after attending the launch event for Student Action NU earlier this month, she strongly agreed with the group’s message and decided to show her support at the organization’s first protest. “I know I am going to be in debt, most likely, for the rest of my life by going to Northwestern, but I don’t want anyone else to go through what I’m going through,” Ruiz said. “This protest allows me to help prevent others from dealing with the debt that I have to, if they choose a state school rather than a private university.” Brown said he didn’t only want to raise awareness about issues American students face, but also the burdens undocumented students have when applying to receive financial aid.

Fluoranthene, the highest concentration found was 0.029 ppb, while the potable water standard is 280 ppb. Last September, both compounds were found in the water at one of six locations tested, five around James Park and one in northeast Evanston. Last October, the compounds were again found at the sample site, but not at another nearby tested location. This July, water samples were collected from 15 locations, which included those previously tested. Compounds were found at four locations, including two locations where previously no compounds had been found. However, no compounds were again found at the original site in the first round of testing. Richards, assistant to the city manager, said the city is sensitive to any concerns citizens have about water quality in light of recent attention the issue has gained nationally after the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. “Evanston water is probably the one of the best…in the area,” she said. “We wanted to make sure that, if there is any concern or questions… to address them.” Samples will be taken and tested sometime in November, according to the city bulletin. norashelly2019@u.northwestern.edu

Bobkiewicz told The Daily. Bobkiewicz added that the city has been “fortunate” not to deal with many cases of this kind. According to the legal memorandum, Rattray, who previously lived in Evanston, claimed he left a 7-Eleven near his home and was followed home by police officers who taunted him. Rattray said one of the officers attempted to grab him, causing him to stumble and fall. Once he was on the ground, he said he was beaten unconscious. The officers, however, denied he was ever unconscious. They said Rattray struck one of the officers and fought with both of them while they attempted to arrest him.

He said undocumented students at NU have better access to financial aid because of the changes made to NU’s policy. In March, the University announced it would remove loans for incoming students and give scholarships to undocumented immigrants who graduate from U.S. high schools. Brown said most undocumented students across the country don’t have those resources. “We need to stand together with students all over Chicago and all over the country to change the way things are,” he said. alliegoulding2020@u.northwestern.edu restrain Rattray, but said he still resisted arrest. Following the incident, Rattray was charged with criminal trespass to real property, aggravated battery to a peace officer and aggravated resisting a peace officer, according to the legal memorandum. All charges against Rattray were later dropped. The city became involved in the case in regards to one specific count, called a Monell count, said Henry Ford, assistant city attorney. A Monell count means someone can sue a local government for depriving them of their federal rights because a city official’s acts can be considered those of the municipality when their acts are dictated by city policy. Following council’s approval of the settlement, Ford said the case “will be terminated against all parties.” torilatham2017@u.northwestern.edu meeting was the danger of jaywalking across Sheridan Road. Muenzer said the city will consider concerns about crosswalks and jaywalking during the review process. “It’s ultimately the University’s decision how they move forward,” city manager Wally Bobkiewicz said. “From the city’s perspective, we appreciate the openness of the University to share its ideas… After getting the feedback, they said, ‘Alright, let’s digest that,’ so I think they’re in that digesting mode.” yvonnekim2019@u.northwestern.edu

Northwestern School of Law increases fudraising goal by $100 million
The Pritzker School of Law upped its fundraising goal to $250 million after surpassing its initial target of $150 million, the University announced. The school’s “Motion to Lead” campaign was launched in September 2014 and has raised more
than $200 million since. It is part of “We Will” –– the University’s school-wide fundraising campaign –– which aims to raise $3.75 billion from more than 140,000 donors. Funds will be directed toward financial aid, improved curriculum, law-business-technology programs and social justice initiatives, according to a news release. A majority of the funding came from a $100 million donation from NU Law alumnus J.B. Pritzker ( JD ‘93) and his wife, M.K.
Money from the campaign has been used to create nine programs that make attending law school more affordable. In addition to the new programs, the money is also funding endowed scholarships. The school was also able to augment its curriculum with a Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship concentration and the Innovation Lab, a course that brings students from various degree programs to create commercial products to solve legal issues. Additionally, the funding produced a
three-story addition to the School of Law’s building. The facilities include a classroom equipped with new technology, extra study spaces and an expanded cafe. The school’s social justice centers, such as the Center on Wrongful Convictions and the Children and Family Justice Center, received support as well. The school aims to raise an additional $46 million to reach its new goal. — Allyson Chiu

Coach Shane Davis has finally earned his first Big Ten win. The Wildcats (8-14, 1-9 Big Ten) defeated No. 24 Purdue (13-8, 3-7) in Welsh-Ryan Arena on Friday, snapping their nine-game losing streak in four sets: 25-19, 18-25, 25-19, 28-26. For NU, the win came at the end of a five-game stretch against ranked teams. “It’s a good feeling,” Davis said. “It’s definitely an

easier conversation in the locker room after something like that.” After starting his first season as the Cats’ coach with four straight wins, Davis’ team lost 13 out of its next 16 matches while heading into the matchup against the Boilermakers. During that strenuous

stretch, NU was swept nine times, often being overwhelmed by their opponents’ size at the net. But although Purdue exhibited the length that had previously given the Cats trouble, NU was able to provide a blocking presence of its own, neutralizing the Boilermakers’ secondary attacking threats and giving the Cats a chance to take down a ranked Big Ten team. NU was also able to put together a solid defensive performance. Freshman Sarah Johnson started at libero for the Cats, who have been missing sophomore libero Katie Kniep since Oct. 5 due to a back injury. After Kniep’s injury, senior outside hitter Rafae Strobos played the libero position for the team until Johnson stepped in. “Rafae has been doing a tremendous job, but we felt that we wanted to get Sarah more touches out there,” Davis said. “She struggled a little bit (Friday), but after set two, I challenged her. She responded well and did a nice job for us the rest of the night.” Johnson finished the match with 14 digs, a team best. Strobos added seven digs and an ace. Johnson said the team’s focus on its gameplan helped lead it to a first Big Ten win. “We were really disciplined,” Johnson said. “We set up a good block, and our defense knew exactly what to do.” NU also exhibited a balanced attack. Five players tallied four or more kills, including junior outside
hitter Symone Abbott, who had 18 kills, and senior outside Sofia Lavin, who notched nine of her own. Lavin said the Cats’ persistence and confidence during high-pressure moments was crucial to the victory. “We stayed aggressive when the game got tough,” Lavin said. “You could see the fear in them. That wasn’t the case for us.” NU had a quick turnaround, facing Indiana on Sunday. The Cats lost their first meeting with the Hoosiers on Sept. 21, and they were unable to avenge that defeat, losing in three sets: 25-23, 27-25, 25-19. Although it was the eighth sweep in the past nine matches for the team, Sunday’s contest was as competitive a match as NU has recently seen. Still, the team’s mental lapses allowed the Hoosiers to take control toward the conclusions of each of the sets. In particular, the Cats’ inability to consistently serve proved to be too much to overcome. The team tallied 25 service errors throughout both of the weekend’s matches, including 12 against Indiana. “It’s completely mental,” Johnson said of the team’s problems at the service line. “We are making a lot of errors because we aren’t mentally focused.” Although NU struggled with its serving, it demonstrated a balanced offensive attack that it hadn’t before this weekend’s matches. The team had five players with four or more kills in Sunday’s match. Davis said the offensive improvement is the result of the Cats’ having searched for their best lineups on the court. “We’ve found something that we’re pretty happy with,” Davis said. “The more we continue to be comfortable with that group, the (more) balance it creates.” aidanmarkey2019@u.northwestern.edu

both teams were starting to fatigue,” Moynihan said. “Spaces were starting to open up. We got a little frustrated because we kept trying to play through ball, and (Beal) is one of the fastest players in the conference.” But the same brand of dominance was seen in NU’s collective defensive effort, as the team also allowed just four shots on goal. The tie was the team’s 13th shutout of the season — a program record.

Clem also enjoyed a strong outing, pressuring Minnesota’s forwards into mistakes, while making saves whenever given the opportunity throughout regulation and the extra time. “We’re over that 90 minute mark,” Clem said. “There’s a lot of girls who have been out there the whole half or game, so (I give them) lots of encouragement. I try to keep their head in it, keep them focused, keep them on their front foot, so they’re never caught waiting.” Although it didn’t end in a win, the Cats’ passionate effort could still lead to a share of the regular season conference title — the program’s first ever — or an outright win, depending on how NU’s neighbors atop the standings, Penn State and Minnesota, finish the year. But the win isn’t guaranteed. Though Illinois may trail the Cats by 10 points in the standings, NU will need to retain its focus to ensure it makes history. Moynihan said Illinois’ 3-0 victory in early October over then-first place Michigan shows the Illini have the potential to derail the Cats going into the season finale. “But tied for first place going into the last game is a pretty good place to be,” Moynihan said. garrettjochnau2019@u.northwestern.edu

TIED AT THE TOP
With chance to take control of Big Ten race, Northwestern manages scoreless tie By GARRETT JOCHNAU
daily senior staffer @garretjochnau
Northwestern entered its penultimate contest of the season against Minnesota with the opportunity to all but seal a spot atop the Big Ten standings. But after 110 minutes of deadlocked action, the No. 23 Wildcats (13-1-3, 6-1-3 Big Ten) ended their conference showdown with the No. 13 Golden Gophers (12-3-3, 6-1-3) in a 0-0 tie and can instead guarantee only a share of the Big Ten regular season title with a win in their final game. Nonetheless, the back-and-forth match saw the defensive-minded Cats at their best. Even without the win, NU walked away with a sense of accomplishment it’ll look to carry into its finale against Illinois. “Honestly just playing our hearts out with our team, that’s what I wanted to do from freshman year to this year,” senior midfielder Rachel Zampa said. “It’s been an unreal change for us seniors. We’ve seen us at our worst and now at our best. We would have never imagined a night like tonight our freshman year.” Zampa was honored with the rest of the team’s seniors before the game.
But once the sentimental portion of the evening had finished, the team was thrown into a clash of pure physicality and grit that tested the team’s focus and stamina. Both the Cats and the Golden Gophers had limited opportunities, and neither squad dominated the possession battle. Minnesota logged 13 fouls but NU came up empty on set pieces, while a strong effort from its back four and junior goalkeeper Lauren Clem stymied the few chances Minnesota got inside the 18. “Th ere were a couple of really, really close ones off of set pieces,” coach Michael Moynihan said. “That was something that we worked on this week, to try to shore up a little bit. We did really well to be dangerous; we didn’t quite punch it over the line though.” Even toward the end of the contest as each team tired, the Cats struggled to break the Golden Gopher defense. NU’s attempts to pass the ball behind the opposition were continuously thwarted by Minnesota’s defense, led by senior Rashida Beal, who helped limit the Cats to just four shots on goal. “We wanted to connect a little bit more through the midfield because Daily file photo by Katie Pach

Michigan tops NU in overtime
Scuffling Wildcats suffer third consecutive conference defeat By COLE PAXTON

Matthew Harris set to retire from football after injury
Senior cornerback Matthew Harris will retire from football, the program announced Monday. Harris started just two games for the Wildcats this season. He departed with an injury during Northwestern’s loss to Illinois State in September and has not played since. “This is an incredibly difficult decision to reach, but it is the right one for me and for my future,” Harris said in a news release. “I’m so thankful for (coach Pat) Fitzgerald, (defensive backs coach Jerry Brown) and the rest of the staff that brought me to Northwestern and have mentored me over the last several years.” Harris, who has a history of concussions, was named a third-team All-Big Ten cornerback in 2015 as part of a secondary that allowed the fewest passing
touchdowns in the country. In 37 career games, Harris recorded 161 tackles, six interceptions and three forced fumbles. Before the start of the 2016 season, Harris was selected by his teammates as a team captain. “I’m just very thankful for what Matthew brought to our program,” Fitzgerald said at Monday’s press conference. “The team gave him a standing ovation when he announced it to the team, which I think shows you the impact Matthew has not only had on our team but will continue to have.” Without Harris, NU is left with sophomore Montre Hartage and redshirt freshman Trae Williams as their starting cornerbacks. Hartage has 38 tackles and two interceptions this season, while Williams, who did not play in Saturday’s win over Indiana with an injury, has 20 tackles and one interception. Redshirt freshman Alonzo Mayo and junior Marcus McShepard will also likely see time at cornerback. — Max Gelman
Northwestern seniors celebrated home wins 24 times over four years, but their final game in Evanston was no cause for celebration. The No. 10 Wildcats (11-6, 4-3 Big Ten) couldn’t close their Lakeside Field schedule on a high note, falling 3-2 in overtime Friday to No. 12 Michigan (10-6, 5-3) in what was NU’s fourth consecutive loss. The game was the Cats’ second straight overtime home defeat after Iowa pulled out a 2-1 extra-session victory last Friday. “They played a bit stronger in the first half, had more opportunities, and we battled hard,” Coach Tracey Fuchs said. “We had our chances in overtime (and) just didn’t convert.” In some ways, the defeat resembled NU’s other recent losses. The Cats had their fair share of opportunities, and though they scored multiple

goals for the first time in three weeks, the offense failed to capitalize on enough chances. Defensively, NU allowed multiple goals for the eighth straight game. Though the Cats were unlucky in recent games and may have been the better team on some occasions, the Wolverines were stronger overall Friday. Michigan earned a whopping 12 penalty corners, the most of any NU opponent all season and more than the Cats’ last four opponents combined. All three of the Wolverines’ goals came from corner sequences. NU needed a late goal, somewhat against the run of play, to even send the game to overtime. Though Fuchs was impressed by the Cats’ resilience, the final result tempered her response. “We battled back,” the coach said. “But it just sucks to lose.” Unfortunately, NU wasted strong performances from a pair of seniors taking to the Lakeside Field turf for the final time. Forward Isabel Flens was the brightest offensive star on the day, scoring both of the Cats’ goals. She deflected a shot from a corner to give NU a first-half lead, then converted on a distance effort from another corner to level the score at
two with under six minutes to play in regulation. Goaltender Lindsay von der Luft, meanwhile, made eight saves, including several acrobatic, sprawling efforts to cover her goal. Two of her saves came in the 6-on-6 overtime period that allowed for more open spaces and a higher likelihood of scoring. Ultimately, however, Michigan’s 12 corners proved to be too much. “They were always changing them up so we didn’t know what to expect,” junior back Sophia Miller said. “They just executed really well.” The Cats eventually ended their losing streak with an 8-0 win at Central Michigan (1-15) on Sunday. The Chippewas have lost 12 straight games and were outscored 21-0 in games against Iowa and Michigan. As a nonconference game, the victory will not help NU in the Big Ten standings. After late-September wins over Penn State and Maryland, both of whom were ranked in the top-6 in the country, the Cats were the clear frontrunners for the conference regular season title. But three straight Big Ten losses have dropped NU to fourth in the standings with just one league game remaining. The Cats may need to make a deep run in the Big Ten Tournament to earn a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Despite another disheartening loss Friday, Flens tried to remain optimistic about what the season had left in store. “It hurts, but we’ve got a lot more games to come this season,” she said. “This is not our last game … so we’re just going to move forward from this.” colepaxton2019@u.northwestern.edu
